It’s been six months in the Bastion, and Keeper Ardaeni was nowhere to be seen. But here she is, trapped in interstellar space. She follows the loose threads of aimless possibility that pull her. Time, space, reality—all feel useless in her journey across the fifth dimension. She doesn’t remember who or what she is, but what’s the point when nothing feels real?

That is, until she ends up in your reality.

This art contest celebrated TiAN’s FIRST Anniversary on February 25th, 2026. This story has completely taken over my life and remains one of my most cherished experiences shared with the Unvale community.

Thank you to all who participated for making this moment truly eternal! Ardaeni may have forgotten, but I never will.
