Emergence from the Forgotten Spring

For eons, the world above had forgotten the existence of the Sunken Spires and the crystalline waters that flowed through their heart. But deep beneath the surface, where ancient gold entwined with living stone, a guardian slumbered. Her wings, once vibrant, had dulled with the weight of ages, her gaze fixed on the quiet currents.

Then, a tremor. Not of rock, but of forgotten magic stirring. The Forgotten Spring, for so long a mere legend, began to glow with an inner light, coaxing her forth. As she rose from the shimmering water, adorned in gilded armor woven from dreams and echoes, her eyes, the color of twilight skies, opened with a newfound purpose. The surface world might have forgotten, but she remembered. And now, she had returned.
