Alex's flashlight beam sliced the attic gloom, catching motes swirling like fireflies. The journal's leather cover felt unnaturally warm. He mouthed the rune-script: 'Vharis en'thor.'

The air thickened, buzzing against his skin. Words scrawled themselves across the page—his own handwriting, but he'd written nothing. A seam split reality six feet away, edges fraying into violet plasma. Wind howled from within, carrying whispers in a tongue that tugged at forgotten dreams.

His sneakers skidded on warped boards as suction yanked him forward. Heart slamming, Alex clawed the trunk—too late. He tumbled through, pages whipping his face like accusations. The rift snapped shut behind, muffling his shout into silence.

He hit damp moss, breath ragged. Towering ferns pulsed with inner light, droplets beading silver on fronds that smelled of crushed mint and ozone. Distant chimes echoed, not wind—something alive. Footprints pressed into the soil ahead, too long, too clawed.

Pushing through undergrowth, thorns snagging his jeans, Alex crested a ridge. Below, spires of woven vine pierced low clouds, lanterns bobbing untethered like fireflies on strings. Figures in cloaks milled a marketplace, their murmurs rising as one head snapped toward him—eyes like polished obsidian.

An elder approached, staff tapping resonant stone. 'The Weaver returns,' she rasped, voice gravel over silk. Alex's pulse raced; her touch on his arm sent warmth flooding veins empty for years. For the first time, he felt seen—not fixed, not pitied.

'You carry the rift's echo,' she said, pressing a crystal shard into his palm. It throbbed, syncing with his heartbeat. 'Bridge our dying wellsprings to your iron world. But hurry—the veil thins.' Shadows lengthened unnaturally behind her.

Clasping the shard, Alex retraced glowing moss-trails. Pursuit rustled—low snarls closing. He sprinted, rift reappearing as a shimmer. Bursting through, he crashed onto attic planks, journal sealed shut.

Gasping, he scanned the beam-split room. Normal. Safe. But the mirror across the hall fogged from within. Fingers—long, clawed—traced his reflection from the other side.
