the Story
Violet starlight flickers against a velvet void as the cosmic desert exhales its first pulse. Beneath that pulse six chrome-shelled sand-skimmers rest like dormant predators, engines humming at the edge of silence. Captain Vel Anteras swings a leg over the lead hull, his weather-tattered cloak snapping in the faint solar wind. In his palm glows a crystal compass—its needle refuses to point north, instead twitching toward a jagged fissure in the sky: the Prism Gate, a rift rumored to weave rhythm into wormholes.
One sharp twist of the throttle and the entire caravan erupts forward. The skimmers skim a desert of liquid glass, carving mirrored wakes that fling prismatic shards into the air. Each shard hangs momentarily like a frozen lightning bolt before dissolving into a mist of rainbow static. The bass throb of their anti-grav drives merges with a percussion of skittering micro-rocks, forming an accidental symphony that echoes for light-years across the dunes.
Soon the horizon buckles. A single dune rises higher than any mountain—its grains flash through colors no spectrum can name, cycling from prehistoric shades of ochre to futurist neons birthed in laboratories yet unbuilt. Vel powers down and steps onto its shifting flank. Time thickens. Every footprint detonates into cloudlets of fractured memories—childhood rainstorms, half-forgotten melodies, strangers’ kisses tasted only in dreams. The world slows to the heartbeat of a slumbering star.
But the lull is a trick. A sudden thunder of crystal hooves shatters the trance. Shards of those earlier rainbow mists have fused into translucent beasts: giraffe-long necks of glass, lion torsos refracting desert light like living chandeliers. They charge alongside the skimmers, their footfalls chiming as if a cathedral bell tower were galloping at full tilt. Vel laughs, steering through the crystalline stampede, sparks of mirrored sand tick-tacking off his visor.
An eye-blink later, the roar collapses into hush. Where sound once pounded, silence now rings. A silver pool—smooth as mercury—materializes at dune’s base, offering stillness so complete it swallows breath. Vel kneels, cupping liquid metal that weighs nothing yet drips memories of languages no tongue has spoken. One sip, and he recalls how it feels to be born tomorrow.
The beat returns—faster, tribal, insistent. Thirteen moons slide across the violet star, stacking atop one another like the tumblers of an interstellar lock. Each eclipse click syncs to the caravan’s drum-laced engine rhythm. Gravity hiccups. Skimmers hop from one sliver of reality to the next, bouncing between dimensions as easily as children skip stones across a pond.
Vel’s compass spins wild, then locks onto a new signal: a neural riptide roaring eighty meters ahead. Invisible yet deafening, the current is an ocean made of forgotten tweets, orphaned lullabies, and half-erased diary entries. The caravan dives in. Sonic waves of acid-bright arpeggios batter them left and right, rewriting neurons in real time. Memories flash-update; old scars heal; ancient grudges flicker out like bad code purged from a system. They emerge dripping data that shimmers like dew on circuit boards.
The ground dissolves into vertical emptiness. A spiraling updraft of ultraviolet mist seizes the skimmers, yanking them skyward. Engines tilt and lock; wings of refracted light unfurl. Together they corkscrew upward in twin helices, each hi-hat tick below becoming another rung on an infinite staircase. Vel’s heartbeat matches the steady 126-beats-per-minute drum, and for the first time he feels the music steering him instead of the other way around. Ahead, the Prism Gate stretches wide: a jagged tear stitched from fractal lace and light older than galaxies.
As they breach the Gate’s threshold, rhythm disintegrates. Beats snap like fragile bones; synth-melodies smear into drizzle of soft white noise. One by one, skimmers lose their metallic weight, their forms melting into streams of cascading code. Vel watches his own fingertips unravel into text characters—part number, date of birth, half a stanza of a rebel lullaby. He feels no fear; only a giddy sense that he is becoming story itself.
And so he does.
Because on the far side of the Prism, shape and sound live in coiled matrimony. Vel and his caravan re-compose as free-floating narratives, tales whispered in the ears of sleeping comets, vibes traded by shadowy merchants who bottle nostalgia and sell it for sunrise. Somewhere beyond human hearing, a DJ in a crowded club drops the needle on a three-minute track. Against the dance-floor strobe, dancers lift their heads—just once—because they swear they hear desert winds and glittering hooves galloping between the kick drums.
Then the track ends, fading into a hush where possibilities gestate. Back in the cosmic desert, violet dawn flickers again, heartbeat counting down to another run. A chrome-shelled skimmer rematerializes, engines purring, compass needle pointing home and away all at once.
Captain Vel Anteras grins, grips the throttle, and writes the next bar of music into the sand.
