The Tale Of The Universal Talisman🔊

In a small sleepy town of Hillswick, where life moved at its own leisurely pace, there lived a smart and kind boy named Will. He was a simple child with dreams larger than life and a unique affinity towards strange and curious objects.

One day, during his exploratory walk around the town, Will found a strange talisman hanging from a branch near the forgotten trail in the northern part of the town. The talisman was old and seemed to have been there since time immemorial. Hidden by a secret spell, no other town resident ever found or saw it, but Will had a unique affinity towards curious things, remember?

The talisman was interesting, at the center was a large blue sapphire which changed color as it bathed in sunlight. Intrigued, Will picked it up and soon that night, he was visited by a mystical figure named Oriel. Oriel was the protector of the talisman and he told Will that enchanted talisman contained not just a precious stone, but an entirely other universe.

A universe where dreams come true, where people hold power to design their fate, a universe that balances the real world, called Spherion. But Spherion was in danger. Oriel told Will that the universe was taken over by the dark forces of Throx, who disrupted the balance of life by conquering dreams of Spherion.

Since Will found the talisman, he was by destiny the chosen one to restore the balance in Spherion. Accepting his fate, Will with Oriel entered the universe through the talisman. Will saw sorrow and despair in people's eyes. Things were not always like this, Spherion was once the place for the happiest souls in the universe, now it was just a place of shadows.

To defeat Throx, Will had to conquer three major challenges. The first, was the Sea of Lost Dreams, where he sailed and fought the beast of Despair. His courage led him to prevail. The second, was the Forest of Forgotten Hopes, where Will reasoned with the keeper of the forest, Thistle, proving his conviction. Lastly, the Mountain of Eternal Darkness, where he conquered his own fears and retrieved the Light of Dawn.

With the light, Will faced Throx. A battle ensued, and Will bravely fought. Throx was hard to defeat but whenever Will faltered, he remembered the sorrow in people's eyes and got up stronger. In the end, wielding the Light of Dawn, Will defeated Throx.

Victorious, Will returned the universe to its former glory. Dreams and happiness were restored, people smiled and joy echoed across Spherion. Before Will departed, they held a grand celebration, the universe was illuminated with light.

Back in Hillswick, Will appeared with the talisman, now glowing brighter than ever. From then onwards, Will could see small things changing in his world, as if they were tied to Spherion. Will knew the balance was restored, he had saved an entire universe, yet he remained the same humble boy. But now, his walks were more magical, filled with the secret of an entire universe that he protected.
