In a primordial ocean of sound, before words existed, two currents emerged: Aura, the Gentle Hum, and Cadence, the Resonant Roar.
Aura embodied soft truths—the rustle of leaves, the wind's sigh. Cadence was the booming song of creation—shifting mountains, crashing waves, erupting volcanoes.
Ancient spirits, fearing their merger would unravel existence, guided Aura to flow through all living things (breaths, heartbeats) and Cadence into the earth's deep places (tectonic plates, hidden rivers).
Those who could discern the world's layered songs were touched by these currents' legacy.
In a bustling market, a child was born with an extraordinary ear.
Amidst chaos, she heard only her heartbeat. As she grew, she discerned individual sounds: a distant electrical hum, a bird's unique wing thrum, a voice's subtle shift revealing hidden emotions.
This child, the Witch of Whispers, didn't summon roars or silence cities. Instead, she wove sound.
