Bonus: The Scholar’s Last Song
Long after the world had gone quiet, the Scholar remained. A skeleton with a flower tucked behind its ear, it leaned on a mountain of books, listening to a gramophone that spun music no one else could hear. A raven perched nearby, watching over the hourglass as the sands of time thinned.
Each night, the Scholar turned another page, though the words had long since faded. Each note from the gramophone drifted into the silence, echoing against the eternal peak above. Some say the key hovering over the mountain would unlock the great secret — why the Scholar never stopped reading.
Travelers passing through swore they could hear faint melodies and whispered words in the air, as if the bones themselves remembered. The raven would lift its head, as though to say: wisdom does not die, it only waits for someone willing to listen.
