Noel — Ancient spirit voice

Ancient spirit voice, deep, vast, and timeless

Prompt: Meet an ancient-spirit voice—deep, echoing, and unspeakably old, words drifting on layered reverberation as though spoken from inside a mountain and a memory at once. The tone is slow and vast, timeless and patient, tenses blurring between was, is, and will-be. There's a older-than-language weight to it, neither kind nor cruel. It sounds like a presence that has watched empires rise and turn to dust, speaking from the deep places of the world.

Script: I was old when your gods were young. I have worn the shape of mountains and rivers and the long silence between stars. You call to me as your ancestors called, as your children will call. It is all one voice to me, arriving at once. Speak, small and brief thing. Ask what you came to ask.
