Two days had passed, and Andrew was still haunted by the visions he had obtained from William. He repeatedly opened his guidebook, but still, he couldn't find any answers. Andrew was searching for a guide on how to endure longer when using the power of 'the past one,' but the results were futile.

"Argh! I need a way to sustain the power for a longer time. Why didn't you write it down, guidebook?!"

Andrew's frustration halted when he felt a heat in his chest. The power he had transferred to William two days ago had indeed caused some disruption in his own body. Despite resting all day yesterday, his body had not fully recovered.

The intense headache finally compelled Andrew to close the guidebook and put it away. He got up from his seat and flopped onto the bed.

"Jeez, this is so terrible. Why is it so difficult for me to recover? If this continues, I might quickly lose my strength. I have to heal William quickly. Giving him continuous power only tortures me. But I also need to find ou

    No one could tell where it came from — some said it rose from the river, others claimed it came from the sky. But all who heard it felt the same thing: something old had exhaled, and the city was breathing again.By dawn, the world had changed.The air was heavier, as though gravity had thickened with thought. The glass towers reflected not just the sun but slow, wavering images — fragments of faces, clouds turning inside out, streets repeating themselves. Machines hummed in harmony with unseen chords, their mechanical rhythm now eerily… human.And at the center of it all, the bridge where Mira had stood was empty.No body. No trace. Only a faint outline burned into the metal — two bare footprints surrounded by a halo of water that refused to dry.By midmorning, the humming started.At first, people thought it was tinnitus — the stress of another workday in a dying district. But then the hum found its rhythm.Three beats.A pause.Two beats.Like a pulse trying to synchronize with the

    The city had forgotten how to listen.It still pulsed with life — airships cutting across copper skies, towers of glass humming with invisible currents, people talking fast and breathing shallow — but the hum beneath it all had dimmed to a whisper.In the heart of the lower district, where the light never reached the street, a girl named Mira slept beside a cracked window. The rain had stopped hours ago, yet the sound of water lingered in her head — soft, rhythmic, as if something beneath the world was still breathing.She had heard it since she was little.Her mother used to laugh and say, “That’s just the pipes, sweetheart.”But Mira knew better. The sound wasn’t metal. It was alive.When she woke that morning, the air felt strange — heavier, like it remembered something she didn’t.The sun filtered through the smog in fractured ribbons. The walls of her tiny apartment glowed faintly, pulsing once in time with her heartbeat.She sat up slowly. The pulse stopped.Silence.But deep in

    No one remembered when the rivers began to sing.The oldest of the Keepers said they always had — that long before the first seed cracked open in soil, before the sky learned how to change color, there was a hum beneath everything. It wasn’t song, not yet. It was a rhythm. A heartbeat that the world listened to until it learned to move on its own.They called it the Breath.And though the name Helena had long been lost to language, its echo lived on in the way people inhaled before they spoke, in the pause between prayer and word.In the temple at the river’s bend, a child sat cross-legged on the stone floor, tracing spirals into the dust. Her teacher, a woman with eyes pale as moonlight, recited the oldest verse of the Chronicle:“Before the Dawn, there was Silence.And Silence desired to become something more.So it breathed.”The child raised her hand. “Was it the gods who made the Breath?”The teacher smiled faintly. “No, little one. It was the world itself, remembering it could l

    At first, she thought the silence meant it was over.But then she realized the silence was singing.It rose from the soil, from the slow pulse of roots, from the rhythm of stars rearranging themselves above the newborn world. The hum that once echoed inside her chest now came from everywhere — thinner, softer, but alive in its own right.Helena stood on a ridge overlooking the river she had made with her tears. It had changed. The current no longer followed her pulse; it followed its own. Trees leaned over the water, whispering with leaves shaped like hands. The air was no longer silver, but golden with warmth.And she was no longer glowing.The light that had once burned through her skin had dimmed, retreating inward. Her body

    The world had already learned how to breathe before the first of them opened their eyes.He woke to birds that didn’t yet know their names, singing into a sky so wide it seemed to remember every color that ever existed. The earth beneath him was warm, still humming from the breath that shaped it. He didn’t know who he was. He didn’t know he had ever been someone else.But when the wind touched his skin, it whispered a single word.Helena.The name felt heavy with warmth and sorrow, like sunlight pressed through water. He repeated it under his breath, not knowing why his chest ached when he said it.Around him, others began to stir — silhouettes rising from the mist, faces half-formed by memory. They spoke in fragments, trading words like pieces of an unfinished language. The air shimmered whenever they said her name, as if the sound itself had weight.Some said she was the first flame.Some said she was the silence that came after the storm.And some whispered that she still walked be

    There was no light at first.Only rhythm — a slow, uncertain beat inside the dark.It pulsed once, twice, then paused, as if waiting for permission to exist.And from that pulse, air began to move.The darkness exhaled.Somewhere in that endless quiet, something formed. Not a body, not yet — just thought taking shape, like dust gathering around gravity. It remembered warmth, and laughter muffled by thunder, and a name whispered through metal.Helena.The memory sparked.Light spilled outward.When the world returned, it was smaller. Quieter.She awoke on a plain of pale dust, beneath a sky the color of molten glass. There were no stars, no sun, only a single, trembling horizon — faintly golden, as though dawn were trying to happen but hadn’t learned how.Helena rose slowly. Her body felt new, but heavy, as if sculpted from the echoes of someone else. The mask was gone. Her skin was faintly luminous, veins glowing silver where blood should have been.The wind carried no scent. The air
