Once the House of Echoes had revealed its mysteries to Alcarion, a question began to rise in him — not as a thought, but as a feeling:
What if my voice could reach beyond this room?
Not for recognition.
Not for praise.
But because there were others like him — far away, lost in their own silence, waiting for a voice that sounded like theirs.
One night, while the city below his tower lay still and the stars blinked open like ancient lanterns, Alcarion gathered parchment, pigment, and memory. He began to translate his classroom magic — not as a manual, but as a living scroll of metaphors, symbols, and stories.
He didn’t write about “teaching” in the expected way.
Instead, he wrote about:
– how the moon helped a student with dyslexia write poetry
– how soundless dance helped a shy girl speak for the first time
– how he taught grammar through dream sequences and quiet rebellion
These writings — more like encoded heart-letters — became known as The Letters of the Listening Flame. He copied them by hand, sealed them with wax, and gave them to the wind. He hung them on trees. Left them inside library books. Tucked them into music store pianos.
And slowly… they found people.
A reader in a far-off village wept and wrote back, adding their own dream-lesson.
A wandering poet copied one letter onto a wall.
A child who had never spoken aloud whispered one of the lines to a bird.
Something had awakened:
Alcarion’s voice had become a bridge.
Eventually, the letters traveled through networks — tangled airways, mirrors, glowing orbs of shared thought — until people began to seek the author. Some called him a sage. Others, a mystic educator. A few thought he was a myth.
But none of that mattered to Alcarion.
Because what mattered most was this:
There were now voices rising that would never have been heard —
if he hadn’t spoken first.
In time, he created a circle — not of followers, but of echoes. A collective of creative minds who didn’t fit into systems, but who dreamed of reshaping them. They published dream-curricula, hosted night classes under the stars, and wrote stories on the backs of receipts.
And Alcarion? He simply listened.
Because once, long ago, he had lived in a world where no one heard him.
Now, he was the voice that built a listening world.
