Sophia — Mythic prologue voice

Mythic prologue voice, timeless, incantatory, and older than the tale

Prompt: A timeless, resonant female voice that opens sagas the way dawn opens the sky. Her deep, ceremonial alto moves in long incantatory waves, half-spoken, half-sung, with the cadence of myth passed down beside sacred fires. Archaic phrasing and elemental imagery roll out unhurried, each line given room to echo. Listening feels less like hearing a story begin and more like being present at its birth.

Script: Before the first word, there was the listening. Before the first king, the river that would drown him. Hear now, children of the late age, how the wolf star fell in love with a shepherd's lantern, and how that small, borrowed light unmade the dark forever.
