PART 1: The Village That Forgot the Sound of Gold There was a village where people no longer trusted gold. Not because it had lost value… but because the world around them had learned to imitate it too well. Shiny metal-plated coins. Cheap alloys painted yellow. Tokens that claimed to be "backed," but vanished before sunrise. Over time, the villagers stopped listening for the sound real gold made that deep, heavy thunk when truth hits a palm.
