The young woman beamed. "Don't you worry! We'll teach you if it kills us— or you." She rummaged over a table in the hall which was littered with papers and picked out a form.

In the beeswax hollow of Lumencroft, where candle makers mold waxed whispers from flame secrets and wick harvesters trail the hives for golden strands, shaper Elowen lights a flickering clue with harvester Kai, whose trails illuminate a conspiracy of dimmed lights. Their candle, molded in flame vows and wick-kissed drips, lights truth—or gutters in smoky doubts of sabotage. As they harvest through hollow-laced apiaries and clue-bound molds, flickered by wax wardens and flame rivals, Elowen's shaping glow merges with Kai's harvesting light, revealing a beeswax legend of flickered clarity. When a snuffed wick summons smoke wraiths, they must mold the clue to reignite the hollow. In the whisper of candle makers, where every secret flames the plot and every trail wicks the revelation, their gentle mystery becomes the light that banishes the hollow's darkness.
