Sphere of Light
The sphere of light glows quietly within my palm. Warm energy spreads from my hand throughout my body, filling me with a pleasant sense of comfort. The Guildmaster stares at the sight, breathless. His gaze seems to see the entire universe within this tiny light.
Silence envelops us for a moment. Only the sound of the wind and distant birdsong break the stillness.
Finally, the Guildmaster speaks. “Mitam... What exactly... is this?”
His voice trembled with astonishment and reverence. I shared the same question. The sphere of light was undoubtedly trying to convey something. Yet, I felt something was still missing to fully understand its message.
I gently cradled the sphere of light in my palm, clasping it softly. “I don't know... But I feel something... This isn't just a mass of energy... It's almost like... a being with its own will...”
The Guildmaster nodded at my words and slowly approached. “Indeed... it's not just light... something... alive... almost...”
He cautiously reached out his hand toward the sphere of light, attempting to touch it gently. At that instant, the sphere began to tremble faintly. Then, astonishingly, a faint light extended from the sphere, enveloping the Guildmaster's hand as if to cover it.
The Guildmaster closed his eyes and took a deep breath. “...Marvelous... Unbelievable... So... warm...”
His words carried profound emotion. I felt a deep resonance with his sentiments. This light truly seemed to radiate warmth, hope, and a path toward understanding.
Feeling the warmth radiating from the light sphere, I looked at the Guildmaster again. His face held a different kind of radiance than before. It wasn't fear or doubt, but a light of new resolve, filled with hope and a spirit of inquiry.
“Mitam... this light... what exactly is it trying to tell us...?” The Guildmaster closed his eyes once more, focusing his awareness on the sensations emanating from the light sphere.
I, too, begin preparing to journey with him—toward this sphere of light, and the unknown world beyond it. Within this small sphere of light, perhaps the secrets of the universe, and our very future, lie hidden. The journey to seek that answer has only just begun.
