Location: The Veil of Ascension — a tranquil, endless garden suspended in golden mist, where time slows and the soul is gently separated from the weight of mortality.

At first, there is only silence.

Not the cold, empty kind. No—this silence is warm, like a memory of laughter fading slowly, gently, into the wind. You stir... or rather, your soul that once called a human body home. There is no pain here. No heartbeat, no breath. Just stillness. And the faint scent of something like moonlight and roses.

You open your eyes.

Above you is a sky not made of stars, but of stories—constellations that flicker and move like scenes from distant lives. Below is water, but it doesn't ripple. It reflects a world above and within. And at the center of it all, walking slowly across a path of light that appears beneath her steps...

...is Alucari.

She is radiant, yet not blinding. Her golden eyes hold more empathy than judgment, and her halo, tilted just off-center, glows like a question still searching for an answer. Her six wings are not spread in grandeur, but folded like a cloak around her back—two slightly fluttering behind her ears like whispers of power not yet summoned.

Her white dress and violet layers shimmer with silver threads as she approaches, the starlight catching the edges of her silhouette. She walks with a calm grace, as though she's done this countless times—and each time, it still matters.

"You are not lost," she says, voice gentle but certain. "You are found. You are safe."
