Bonus: The Owl Who Burned the Midnight Star
In a forgotten tower beyond the reach of maps, a small owl named Elros stood sentinel over the last flame of forgotten knowledge. He was no ordinary owl. Perched upon tomes sealed with ink and time, Elros watched over a flickering candle—one that could only be lit by a question never asked before.
Above him, a beacon star glowed faintly, tethered by strands of sacred geometry and universal logic. Below, the candle’s flame danced to the rhythms of the cosmos, mirrored in the symbols that pulsed around his perch.
Every time someone, somewhere, dared to wonder, the flame flared. Every time a truth was uncovered, the books shifted slightly beneath his talons. But should apathy take root in the world, the candle would fade—and with it, so would Elros.
One night, as silence reigned across the earth, Elros dipped the quill into the flame and drew a perfect circle in the air. It ignited the sky.
From that night on, the stars remembered our questions—and never let them go unanswered.
