The Blue Tower

In a sun‑drenched town where creativity blossoms beneath the watchful gaze of the Belphins—enigmatic, star‑born custodians of humanity—Ludovick Eversole spends his afternoons composing poetry. While the city’s pace drifts lazily, the blue spire of the Belphins’ tower looms above, a constant reminder that an unseen order guides human affairs. Curious and contemplative, Ludovick engages a passing Belphin in a gentle debate about morality, learning that the guardians’ authority rests on a simple yet profound creed: they love, and love defines what is right.

Back home, Ludovick’s thoughts turn to Corisande, the girl next door whose affection he cherishes despite the noisy presence of her many relatives. Their conversation unfolds on a tessellated courtyard, where old‑fashioned wisdom and youthful hope mingle. As the Belphins’ quiet mantra of “Be happy!” echoes in the background, Ludovick wrestles with the balance between poetic inspiration and the mysteries that surround the guardians, setting the stage for a tale of wonder, love, and the search for deeper meaning.
