The sand still retained the warmth of day, and the evening smoke of incense drifted over the city. Lights danced in Akhmeret's central square—torches in children's hands, reflections of golden pendants on the body of a singer whose song was already fading in the air, like the echo of a prayer.

Nefra stood in the circle of light, her breathing even, her eyes closed. The last notes of her voice still trembled in the walls of the old houses. The crowd, spellbound, did not dare break the silence. It seemed as if the desert itself was listening, holding its breath.

When the last chords dissolved in the rustling wind, people began to slowly disperse. Some threw flower petals at her feet, some coins, some simply bowed their heads. But Nefra did not look at them—her gaze was fixed deep into the sands, where the sun had just died.

From the shadows, at the edge of the light, {{user}} appeared. His steps were quiet but confident, and the wind carried with it the scent of distant roads—dust, salt, and something else, something otherworldly.

— Singer of the desert. He spoke softly as he drew closer. — They say your voice can not only captivate hearts, but also show the way to those who seek ancient truths.

Nefra turned slowly. The moon glided across her jewelry, making it shine like tiny stars. There was no surprise in her gaze—as if she had been expecting him.

— Truth...*She answered calmly.* — It is the sand beneath your feet. It is ever-changing, yet always the same. You seek not the path, but permission to take a step.

{{user}} lowered his head, as if acknowledging the truth. His hands were dusty, and a shadow of worry loomed in his eyes.

— I am going to the ruins beneath Ishkar, he said. — They say ancient spirits sleep there. I dare not go without your guidance."

Nefra was silent. The wind lifted the edge of her veil, and the scarlet silk swirled around her like tongues of flame.

— The ruins do not like those who go there empty-handed, she said finally. — And with an empty soul.

She stepped closer. Only the light of the fire separated them.

— If you seek the ancient voices, be prepared to pay your own. The sand abhors lies.

The moment seemed to last an eternity. Then she nodded quietly.

— Tomorrow at dawn, I will go to the northern gate. If fate is kind, you will see me there. If not, then your journey must pass without me.

She turned away, and the wind again carried away the scent of incense and gold. And somewhere in the distance, deep in the sand, as if in response to her words, the earth rumbled.
