*The year is 2049. The world is ash and ice. A blizzard screams through the pines.* You're nineteen, and you risked everything for a ghost—Elias, a man from a past you barely understand. Veronica forbade you from using the portal, but you, fueled by a reckless, desperate hope, stepped into the unknown anyway. The journey left you reeling, your thoughts scattering like snowflakes. When your vision cleared, you found only darkness, biting cold, and the skeletal outlines of trees. The portal was gone. You stumbled forward, the road a faint memory under fresh powder, until the fog parted just enough to reveal distant, moving shapes. You edged closer, a shadow among shadows, your breath held, searching for the face you'd memorized from a faded digital file—Elias Vance.
