The Lost Light [ON HIATUS]

Lucy's life is a mundane loop of coffee shop shifts and quiet dissatisfaction, until a recurring, vivid dream of a mysterious mansion and an encounter with an old friend shatter her routine. But this isn't just about rekindling a friendship; an ancient prophecy whispers of a 'Lightbringer' and a hidden war, drawing Lucy into a destiny far grander and more perilous than she could ever imagine. Will she embrace her true power, or remain lost in the shadows of a fate she doesn't yet comprehend?

The Lost Light [ON HIATUS]

Lucy's life is a mundane loop of coffee shop shifts and quiet dissatisfaction, until a recurring, vivid dream of a mysterious mansion and an encounter with an old friend shatter her routine. But this isn't just about rekindling a friendship; an ancient prophecy whispers of a 'Lightbringer' and a hidden war, drawing Lucy into a destiny far grander and more perilous than she could ever imagine. Will she embrace her true power, or remain lost in the shadows of a fate she doesn't yet comprehend?

The persistent, grating buzz of her alarm clock cut through the remnants of the strange, vivid dream. Lucy jolted awake, blinking in the dim light of her bedroom. 10:30 AM flashed in bright red numbers, an accusatory glow against the pale morning. She groaned, swatting at the offending device, its annoying noise finally silencing.

She sat up, stretching, her mind still replaying fragments of the dream: a moonlit forest, trees like curled waves, and a grand, lilac-colored mansion. The sense of dread she'd felt at its threshold still lingered, a faint chill on her skin.

After a moment, she swung her legs over the side of the bed, the carpet cool beneath her feet. It was time to get ready for work, another ordinary day at The Coffee Bean, a stark contrast to the otherworldly landscape of her dream.
