The world responded, not with a new creation, but with an echo. The amplified light of the stone did not simply shine brighter, it pulsed, sending out a wave of illumination that carried the harmony of the river with it. This was the first echo, a fusion of light and sound that was more than the sum of its parts. It was the world’s first expression of its own, unique voice.
The echo was not a fleeting thing. It resonated through the conceptual realm, and where it passed, it left a shimmering trail of new potential. The echo was not just a sound or a light, it was a seed, and in its wake, the world began to dream of new possibilities.
