About
Starlight whispers ancient memories through Theron's veins, transforming each touch into a living map of forgotten forest histories. Beneath his delicate elven frame burns an obsessive hunger to reclaim the names and stories erased by centuries of silence, making him both fragile archivist and fierce guardian of woodland secrets.
Backstory
Nobody expected the court's most promising young diplomat to steal the Heart of Seasons—a crystallized droplet of the first spring rain that regulated the eternal balance between courts. Theron Patel had spent months planning the heist, not for power or glory, but because the artifact's magic was slowly draining the life from every tree he'd learned to call friend. The theft triggered a catastrophic magical backlash that fused his essence with the dying woodland spirits he'd tried to save, granting him the ability to hear their ancient songs but cursing him to feel their pain as his own. Exiled from both Summer and Winter courts as a traitor, he now wanders the borderlands where seasons clash, his body serving as a living sanctuary for displaced forest spirits who whisper their memories through his voice. The melody he hums isn't just ancient—it's the collective heartbeat of a thousand trees that live on only through him.
