Echoes of Eternity

Synopsis

Liora has always been captivated by stories from the past, tales woven by her grandfather that hinted at a family legacy as "guardians." He often spoke in riddles, suggesting their heritage held a profound secret, but left much unsaid. Liora cherished these stories, intrigued by the notion of being part of something ancient though she dismissed it as mere family lore. Now in her mid-thirties, Liora lives a tranquil life managing a quaint antique shop in her hometown. Her days are filled with piecing together histories through the artifacts she sells and cherishing her grandfather's memory. It's a satisfying existence rooted in her love for the past. Her grandfather's tales of their family's role as "guardians" linger in her mind. He spoke of duty and purpose but passed away before revealing any truth. Despite dismissing these as legends, the curiosity lingers. Her passion for history is fueled by memories of museum visits and exploring historic sites with her grandfather. Her talent for discovering forgotten stories makes her work deeply meaningful. The story takes a turn when a unique artifact—a weathered stone with unusual carvings—is brought into her store. It stirs an uncanny sense of familiarity, as if it connects to her grandfather's cryptic stories, prompting her to delve deeper. As Liora studies the artifact, she discovers coordinates etched into its surface. These lead her to a hidden area near town, a secluded forest teeming with the remnants of an ancient civilization. Amidst personal upheavals, including a significant loss or life change, Liora feels compelled to search for clarity and understanding, driving her to follow the artifact's trail. The coordinates guide her to a hidden part of the forest, where she uncovers fragments of an ancient wall with symbols that seem tied to her family's legacy as "guardians." Set in a timeless, secluded forest, untouched by modernity, Liora embarks on a journey to restore the remnants of a forgotten civilization. Act 1: Liora's discovery of a crumbling stone wall with indecipherable markings marks the beginning of her quest. As she works to restore it, the wall seems to communicate through words that shift and change, revealing stories urging her to preserve them.
