Frost bit my fingers as I gripped the spire's slick obsidian steps, the wind carrying a melody only I could hear—my name, chanted in velvet tones. Elowen the Unyielding, they called me, and I believed it.

My cloak, woven from phoenix thread I'd bartered honorably, fluttered like wings. No chill pierced it. Below, the village lights twinkled in admiration, not fear. I waved, their cheers rising like steam from a feast.

Thorny vines coiled up the stone, their barbs gleaming like forgotten jewels. They reached for me, but my dagger—forged in dragonfire I tamed—sliced clean through. Petals rained down, perfumed with honeyed lies.

Halfway up, the air thickened, tasting of cinnamon and regret. Voices murmured from the cracks: 'Turn back.' I laughed, boots echoing triumph. What did they know of my destiny?

The summit chamber pulsed with the crystal's heart, veins of azure light threading the floor. It hummed, warm against my palm. 'Wish,' it breathed, like a lover's sigh. 'Endless gold,' I commanded, eyes shut tight.

Heat bloomed in my chest, coins spilling from my sleeves in a glittering cascade, heavy and real. I pocketed them, the metal singing softly. Descent was a victory march, each step solid.

Villagers gathered at the base, faces aglow—or was it shadowed? Their smiles stretched thin, voices muffled under the coins' clink in my satchel. 'Bless you, Elowen,' they said. I nodded, generous.

Alone by the hearth that night, the mirror fogged. My reflection grinned wider than my own lips allowed, eyes flickering gold. 'Just firelight,' I whispered. Outside, the spire's song swelled again. One more wish wouldn't hurt.
