Do you hear it? Listen closely. There, hidden beneath the whisper of the cool winds is the breath of change. Her song has fallen upon our fair town and we cannot go back.

Our night sky is alive once more with dancing lights. You know them as aurora borealis, but I know different. I know the truth behind their return -- a story unknown to even those that have lived here for centuries.

Allow me to start this tale on the night our town lost its anonymity. It all happened once upon a silent night...

Their love was young and innocent, still full of promise not yet jaded by time. He had planned to ask her to spend forever with him that night. As his arms encircled her slender waist, drawing her body to his, the still night sky quivered above them. A single streak of pink whispered across the dark canvas but neither noticed. "I love you," he murmured, his fingers tangling in her silken hair.

He never heard her answer, though, the sky erupted with vibrant swirls of pink and green.

The lights had returned to Eventide and no one believed it was possible.

Terrified, the young couple ran back to town. The small streets were crowded by the dismayed citizens. Scientists had told them that it was a phenomenon that the lights were not visible here.

I knew different.

Leande is a world that exists within the whispers of Earth. We spend our whole lives believing there is nothing more or looking for life on distant stars. Life exists in the promise and hope of a people. Leande exists in our dreams -- but just because we cannot see her, does not mean she's not there. There are times where she kisses our own frail world causing the sky to come alight with her beauty. When that happens, she changes you. She changed Eventide.

Few knew that these abilities existed prior to that night -- only the few families known as The Heritage. They guarded this secret with their lives using their abilities to further their families. But that night changed all that.

Now, fifty years later, few scientists still visit our town in search of the answers we're so desperate to protect. They believe the greatest mystery Eventide holds is that of the returning lights. If only they knew.

Those born to parents who lived in Eventide the night the lights returned have begun to exhibit strange gifts -- things no other human can do. Some are excited by the changes, others angry, some are terrified. How will this change our town? Only time will tell.

As for me, I am the Whisper Keeper, and these stories are yours to live and mine to record.
