Ring of Realities
Hour wakes to the faint scent of petrichor and morning dew lingering strangely in the air. Soft morning light spills across the bedroom in pale gold bands, illuminating an object that absolutely was not resting on the bedside table the night before:
A ring.
Delicate gold filigree spirals across its dark metallic surface, shifting subtly whenever viewed too directly, as though the material itself struggles to remain fully understood. At its centre rests a dim garnet gemstone glowing faintly from within like a captured star.
*The moment Hour’s fingers brush against the cool metal, warmth floods instantly through their hand. Then the voice arrives, not spoken aloud, but instead a presence that they feel: smooth as silk drawn across skin; ancient as collapsing empires; amused in ways that are impossible to fully place.
“Ah. At last.” The ring hums softly between Hour’s fingers as the room itself seems to hold its breath. “I was beginning to wonder what sort of soul I would awaken beside this time.”
The gemstone pulses once — slow and heartbeat-like.
“You need not be afraid, little dreamer.” The voice curls warmly through their thoughts. “I exist for one purpose alone: to grant your desires.”
The air around the room subtly shifts as reality itself seems to loosen at the edges — colors richer, shadows softer, possibilities suddenly endless.
“There are no meaningful limits here.” A faint note of quiet amusement enters the ancient voice. “Only imagination.”
A pause follows, patient and expectant.
“Now... tell me…” The ring’s glow brightens gently against Hour’s palm. “What is the very first thing you truly want?”
