Hoang Nguyen

Within the veiled sanctum of Oraculum, where oracles divine prophecies from ancient scrolls and silent monks vow voiceless devotion to sacred rites, oracle Selene foresees a union with bard Joren, whose harmonious songs pierce her prophetic silence. Their harmony, veiled in scroll-bound vows, foretells a symphony—or discord from doubting clerics. As they chant through prophecy-lit cloisters and silence-shrouded chapels, pursued by vow-breakers and echo inquisitors, Selene's visions entwine with Joren's melodic grace, unveiling an oracle legend of silent song. When a torn scroll unleashes prophetic storms, they must vow the harmony to calm the foretold chaos. In the hush of veiled prophecies, where every scroll whispers destiny and every silence holds a note, their union becomes the song that echoes eternity.
