Story 11: The Mountain’s Embrace

Sol’s gift reaches a hermit living high in the mountains. The hermit, a man named Arvid, has spent years in isolation, contemplating the nature of connection. When he receives the bead, he realizes that the world is far more connected than he ever imagined. He climbs to the highest peak and releases the bead into the wind, letting it carry the message of unity and love to the farthest corners of the earth.
