Diarmid, a powerful warmage, was in search of the Sphere of Eternal Youth. On a night of blood supermoon, he arrived at an ancient sacred fountain, where it was said the sphere was hidden beneath an enchanted lake. Cloaked in dark velvet and with determination in his eyes, Diarmid recited an ancient incantation.

As the words echoed, the water of the lake began to glow brightly, revealing a magical sphere of vibrant blue light floating at the surface. When Diarmid touched it, he felt a wave of energy, and images of his life flashed before him.

A deep voice echoed; it was the guardian of the fountain, warning him about the price of eternal youth. Diarmid hesitated, realizing that true value lay in fleeting moments. He decided that he did not wish for eternity, but rather more time to learn and grow.

Upon accepting the sphere, the guardian granted him a gift of time, not eternal youth. With this new understanding, Diarmid left the fountain, determined to make the most of every moment in life with wisdom and gratitude.
