Shards of Time

In a world where the skies whispered secrets and mountains held ancient wisdom, a realm known as Aridia flourished. Its cities were adorned with spires that touched the heavens, and its forests whispered with the songs of mystical creatures. Yet, Aridia was not without its troubles. Darkness had begun to seep into the edges of the land, casting doubt and fear among its people.

High atop the Whispering Mountain, the Citadel of Prophecies stood. Within its hallowed halls, a council of seers gathered to decipher the whispers of the wind and the patterns of the stars. Among them was the enigmatic Seeress Seraphina, whose eyes held a thousand lifetimes of knowledge.

On a fateful night, when the moon hung low and stars burned bright, a comet streaked across the sky, breaking apart in a shower of shimmering fragments. This celestial display was unlike any before, and it was seen as an omen by the seers. Seraphina, with her fingers brushing the fragments, spoke the prophecy that would shape Aridia's destiny:

"When the comet's fragments fall to land,

Three heroes shall rise, hand in hand.

Celestial shards, imbued with might,

Hold the key to restoring light.

One shall possess the strength of earth,

The second, the fire of rebirth.

The third shall wield the waters' grace,
