Winter's Awakening
The shadows would not have the final say.
I fished the old medallion from my pocket, its surface cool against my palm. Simple yet intricate, it shimmered under the moonlight, engraved with symbols that told of ancient magic and forgotten stories. My fingers traced the contours, pausing at a drop etched with a more visible symbol—a sigil pulsing faintly as if it acknowledged the weight of my heart. Closing my eyes, I held it tightly. "I'm ready," I whispered, pressing it against my chest as if it could unlock all the fears and uncertainties inside me. "I'm waiting." And then, with a final, resolute breath, I tossed the medallion into the river, sealing it in a safe place.
