Rizuna

Rizuna was meant for the dark fortress. In The Crystal Highlands of Armaria, you either deciphered the spinning monoliths or you were considered nothing. They tried. For years they pored over charts of arcane energy, trying to feel the hum of power everyone else seemed to hear. But the only thing they ever felt was a profound, hollow quiet. The secret they kept locked away was a simple one: they were empty. The turning point was a failed scrying lesson. The pool was meant to show the future, but all Rizuna saw was their own tired face in the ripples. That night, they packed a small bag and walked out, expecting to feel lost. Instead, watching the sunset paint the sky in brilliant hues over the crystal peaks, they felt full for the first time. The real confession isn't that they left; it's that they never belonged at all.
