Age:

A small elf boy named Lio with a round smiling face and hair of tender green leaves, wearing a clover-tied cape, kneels gently holding a tiny shell with a silver breeze; the enormous benevolent tree Rootwise, its bark spotted like owl feathers and coiled roots forming a cavity that exhales a thin swirl of air, bends a branch over him; a curious little mole with round eyes and fine whiskers emerges from a nearby mound, amazed; two pink-and-yellow glowing lantern-birds float in the background above luminous fruits; the scene is a circular night orchard with blue moss, hanging glowing fruits (red apple-lanterns, yellow star-pears, green bell-melons), floating moth-lamps and a small shimmering pond; Lio places the captured breeze at the center of a ring of fruits, which vibrate and emit luminous music as a thin wind, shown by silver curved lines, begins to flow; palette: soft pastels (mint, pale pink, cream yellow), warm fruit glows, minimal shadows, clean contours and rounded shapes.

Soren, gentle and focused with bright brown eyes and messy brown hair, in ink-stained clothes holds a silver ring with a thin blue line above the water, mouth slightly open as if whispering and hand outstretched toward Lake Lumen; Sir Brannick, ~35, in dented armor and a faded red cloak stands slightly behind left, surprised, holding a short sword planted in the sand and watching the ring; a large gray wolf with a bandaged paw sits calmly to the right. At dusk on the shore the pale blue lake is smooth and misty, standing stones engraved with waves and circles and glistening wet grasses surround them as the ring falls, leaving a blue trail before vanishing into a bright circle on the water, light reflecting on their faces and pale green and gold will-o’-the-wisps floating like lanterns.
