 There, perched on the edge of the land, stood a solitary lighthouse, its beacon sweeping the waves. The meteor, now reduced to a glowing ember, streaked toward the ground and it struck near the lighthouse with a hiss and a flash, burying itself deep into the earth. What had once been a vast, ancient rock from the stars was now no more than a spark—a tiny, smoking remnant of its celestial origins. The reality itself seemed to falter.

The villagers called it the Shimmer. Throughout the years it mysterious yet inviting nature attracted many victims to its trap. One thing was clear, no one who entered ever returned the same—if they returned at all. Although it didn’t stop the rumors to spread. If they were true, at the heart of the anomaly lay the Sleeping One, a figure so still it seemed carved from light. The air around them shimmered with unspoken promises, their beauty so captivating…. Like they were waiting—for salvation… or for the world to end.

No one dared to touch.

As she passed the threshold of the forest the light dimmed, as though the mist was swallowing the sun itself. Her footsteps crunched on the moss that coated the ground like broken glass, but the sound was muffled, as if they were devouring every noise she made. The pale, iridescent air was shifting like the breath of something alive.

The towering trees closed in around her, their gnarled branches twisting like skeletal fingers overhead. The faint scent of flowers and decay hung heavy in the air, mingling with an unplaceable sweetness that made her chest tighten. Shadows flitted at the edges of her vision, but when she turned to look, there was nothing—just the endless expanse of the forest, its silence oppressive.

The ground began to shift beneath her feet, the earth that seemed to pulse faintly with each step she took. A low, resonant hum, so deep it seemed to vibrate in her bones, rippling through. It was like a distant heartbeat, impossibly vast and ancient.

That’s when she saw it—a faint glow, barely discernible through the mist, beckoning her forward. It pulsed in time with the vibration in the earth, a rhythm she couldn’t help but feel drawn to.

Against her better judgment, she stepped toward it, each movement slow and deliberate, as if the forest itself was watching her every move. The glow intensified, casting faint ripples of light across the trees.

And as she reached to a point the hum stopped. The foliage began to move to make a path for her to walk through. The blinding light began to shift. She thought she could make out a shape—something vast, coiled, and impossibly still… waiting.

She hesitated for a second but with the blink of an eye she was near the body. Oh… It- no He… was ethereal… A graceful blend of strength and softness, every curve and edge flowing seamlessly into the next. Faint freckles scattered across his shoulders, along with the sharp edged but ragged wounds all around his chest. Hands, calloused but tender, spoke of a life lived with passion…even though he seemed otherworldly. And… he wasn’t breathing.

It took her a second to realize her own movement. She lowered herself slowly, her breath shallow and uneven, drawn by the eerie stillness of his body. Her gaze flickered to his face—his lips, soft and motionless, like a secret waiting to be told. A strange pull urged her closer, as if the silence between them whispered her name, daring her to bridge the fragile distance.

Right when she was about to connect, without warning, his eyes snapped open—dark and sharp …with a hint of violet glimmer, locking onto hers with a jarring intensity, studying her, dissecting her in a way that made her freeze.

She couldn’t tell if he was truly awake—or something else entirely.
