Volume 2: The Unveiling
Part One: Whispers in the Night
Chapter 1: Echoes of Discord
A shiver danced down Alex's spine, not from the crisp autumn air, but from the discordant melody weaving through the city's usual harmony. As the conductor of Lumina's symphony, he felt the jarring notes vibrate like physical tremors, sending a cold unease through her being.
Unlike the usual dissonances caused
by petty arguments or misunderstandings, this discord held a deeper darkness, a malicious intent that gnawed at the symphony's core. It spoke of secrets long buried, of forgotten evils stirring, and a threat brewing just beyond the veil of their peaceful reality.
Alex, unlike the average citizen of Lumina, wasn't just a conductor. he was a Weaver, gifted with the ability to manipulate sound and emotion through his melodies. It was a secret he guarded fiercely, only using his power in subtle ways to maintain the city's vibrant musical tapestry.
