Where the Song Lands

‘Canyon Myst’ by Jef Gray — a rock-infused ballad inspired by the mysterious island of the same name. After exhausting the last of their fuel, the crew of the Nereid descends for a dangerous landing and encounters a remote community where fae and humans coexist in rare harmony. The travelers are met with unexpected generosity, receiving supplies, hospitality, and aid to repair their damaged ship. Yet beneath the kindness lies an urgent desire for them to leave as quickly as possible. When the crew discovers immense riches hidden within the island's caves — enough wealth to return home as kings — they begin to understand the truth. Nothing on Canyon Myst is freely given, for the island itself carries magic within its veins.
