"When The Weave begins to breathe and The Veil is drawn aside,
the forsaken roads of yesterday begin to glow.
Step by step, the hidden pattern reveals its design,
and every choice becomes a thread in destiny’s tapestry."
— Morn Catupatus

A vision. A whisper. A road rising to meet your steps.

The Awakening – EP continues the unfolding story first hinted at in “Whispers of the Witch (The Haunting)” and carried into “Remote Isolation (The Silence).” What began as distant murmurs has grown stronger — no longer just background echoes, but a clear, inescapable calling.

It opens with “Prologue (The Vision)”, where softly spoken words in an ancient tongue drift through the dark before anything in our own language takes shape. The sense is clear, even if the meaning is not: something has seen you, and something is waiting.

From there, “Remote Isolation (The Silence)” returns — now framed as the still heart of the experience. It moves like a breath held too long: distant and restrained, yet vast enough to swallow entire worlds of thought. Shadows stretch and fold as light slowly forms at the edges, each tone tracing the fragile line between numbness and awakening.

In “Rebirth (The Awakening)”, the music begins to rise. Melodies emerge from beneath the surface, hesitant at first, then increasingly sure of themselves. It feels like the moment when you stop simply enduring the dark and start reaching for something beyond it.

“Threads of Fate (The Binding)” draws the fragments together. Familiar motifs reappear and intertwine, rhythms tighten, and subtle echoes reveal a hidden pattern beneath everything that has come before. Each sound feels like another thread pulled taut, binding you to a path that is quietly taking shape.

With “Dawn (The First Light)”, the horizon breaks. Warmth seeps into the soundscape — not pure relief, but a fragile, hard-earned hope. The world is no longer silent, no longer sealed. There is motion now. Direction. The feeling that the steps you take actually matter.

And in “Whispers of the Witch (The Haunting)”, the presence that once lingered at the edges moves closer. The whispers that once brushed past your awareness now press in with intent, calling you by a name you don’t remember choosing. The message is not spoken plainly, but the pull is undeniable: you have been noticed, and you have been summoned.

Throughout it all, a single phrase surfaces and returns like a refrain:

“Norath Tharûn Ilthar.”

It is never explained. It does not need to be. You feel it more than you understand it — a quiet insistence that this is not the end of the journey, but the moment it truly begins.

This is the sound of awakening — when isolation sharpens into awareness, the whispers become a voice, and the path ahead begins to shine.

Step onto the path.
Step into The Weave…
