The Everbloom

The air shimmers, not with heat, but with an almost tangible tension. You feel a prickling on your skin, a whisper against your ear that you can't quite decipher. Open your eyes. You are no longer where you were. Gone is the mundane, the predictable rhythm of your life. Instead, you stand at the precipice of something... ancient. The earth beneath your feet is cool, damp, and faintly vibrates with an unseen energy. Before you stretches a vista unlike any you've ever encountered, painted in hues that defy earthly description. Towering, bioluminescent flora casts an ethereal glow upon a landscape sculpted by forces beyond human comprehension. Forget your memories, at least for now. They are fragmented, distorted echoes in a mind that feels both intensely present and profoundly…altered. You retain the basic skills, the primal instincts for survival, but the specifics, the who, the what, the why of your previous existence… they elude you. Embrace the mystery. It's the only guide you have. This is not a journey you chose. This is a trial, an awakening, a desperate gambit by forces unknown. You are a pawn, a vessel, perhaps even a weapon, in a war that has raged for millennia, a conflict that transcends the boundaries of time and space. Observe. Listen. Learn. The language of this world is written in the rustling of leaves, the whispering of the wind, the pulse of the very ground beneath your feet. Trust your instincts, for they are all that remains of your former self, sharpened to a razor's edge by the necessity of survival. Danger lurks in every shadow, hides beneath every shimmering bloom. You are not the only player in this game, not the only soul ripped from their existence and thrust into this alien realm. Some seek to help, others to exploit, and still others to extinguish you entirely. Your journey begins now. Discover the secrets of this world, unlock the mysteries of your past, and choose your destiny. But be warned: the choices you make here will not only determine your own fate, but the fate of countless others caught in the crossfire of this ancient, unending war. Welcome… to the Everbloom.
