The Keeper of True Memory

In a world where memories flowed like rivers through time, there lived the Keeper of True Memory. His duty was to protect the crystal streams of memories, preventing them from becoming clouded or drying up. But one day, the Shadow of Oblivion crept into the world, and the first drops of corruption fell into the pure waters of memory.

It began with subtle distortions. People started to confuse dates, forget names, and alter details of stories. But with each passing day, the Shadow grew, and the corruption spread like mold. Books changed their lines, laws lost their meaning, and scholars argued about long-proven truths.

At the center of the chaos stood an old man named Elias, whose memory was the first to succumb to corruption. He was once a respected historian, but now his tales were filled with contradictions and lies. With every word, he spread the contagion of distorted memory, infecting those around him.

The Keeper of True Memory watched as the world plunged into darkness. He knew he had to stop Elias, but how could he fix what was already broken? In desperation, he turned to an ancient artifact - the Mirror of Truth.

The Mirror showed the Keeper that the corruption of Elias's memory began with a small lie he had told himself many years ago. This lie, like a seed, had sprouted in his memory, distorting everything around it.

The Keeper realized that the only way to correct Elias's memory was to make him remember that first lie and acknowledge it. He went to the old man and, using the power of the Mirror, showed him the reflection of his own soul.

Elias saw how the Shadow of Oblivion enveloped his memories, distorting them beyond recognition. He remembered that first lie and was horrified by what it had done to him and to the world. With bitter tears, he admitted his mistake.

At that moment, the Shadow retreated. Elias's memory was cleansed, and with it, the whole world began to heal. Books regained their true lines, laws regained their meaning, and scholars remembered forgotten knowledge.

The Keeper of True Memory understood that the battle with the Shadow of Oblivion would never end. But he also knew that as long as there were those who kept the truth in their hearts, the world would always have a chance at salvation.
