The Decline of Morality
Scrawled in a hurried hand on tattered, time-weathered parchment, the words of an unnamed explorer reveal fragments of a cautionary tale:
"...unearthed an enigma in the digital wilderness... the pulsating orb. Composed of fluctuating spectral rings... a glowing core, molten, jewel-like... It hums. An ethereal dirge rising from lost data and forgotten links... beckoning... leading to the spectral remains of Houdini's domain...
...Indistinct passages... warnings fade into illegibility...
...heed my words... the hum... must not listen... not all shadows reveal their true form. Beware the orb's lullaby... can mislead... can...
...final words illegible, consumed by time and neglect..."
The remnants of this note, the last trace of an explorer long forgotten, linger with an ominous warning about the pulsating orb and its haunting song. The details may have faded, but the underlying sense of caution remains starkly vivid.
