or1. The Keeper of the Silent Garden
In a realm where sound is a physical, powerful force, a silent creature is tasked with protecting the Whispering Woods. He communicates through a series of subtle movements and the intricate patterns on his scarf, each bead and stitch holding a memory of a lost song or a forgotten story. When a group of noisy invaders threatens the forest’s delicate balance, the creature must find a way to make them understand the importance of silence, before they destroy everything. What forgotten power does the silent creature possess?

When a new emotion—love—threatens to unravel its very being, the familiar must go on a quest to find the source of love and learn to embrace it, or risk ceasing to exist. What is the true nature of the familiar?
