Lira closed her eyes, feeling the weight of countless possibilities. She thought of the stories her grandmother used to tell—of a world where the rain never fell, where the sky was always a bright, unbroken blue, where people walked on floating islands of crystal.

No one in New Avalon had ever spoken its name aloud. The last known reference came from an obscure forum post dated 2074, where a user named “Cipher‑13” claimed the manual contained “the blueprint for a bridge between worlds.” Most dismissed it as a hoax, a piece of ARG folklore.
