The world is big, but people’s hearts are small. We always swing back and forth between reality and dreams, sometimes burning and sometimes withering. But there are some moments, like throwing a small stone into the lake of the heart, creating soft but firm ripples. It is not earth-shattering, but it makes you believe in the existence of a certain power again.
When I heard the news about the original version 4.5 to the unknown version, I actually felt an inappropriate touch in my heart. It’s not because of the update itself, but because the characters that are about to appear have touched the softest corner of my heart on a vague level. They are like a mirror, reflecting the desire for transformation and growth in each of our hearts.
The first to appear is Qianzhi. She comes from the depths of the rock element and is a symbol of calmness and stability. Her one-handed sword is not for attack, but more like a protective gesture. She reminds me of those who endure silently, perhaps never speak of themselves, but always stand firmly at the forefront of life, using their bodies to build a barrier to protect the people behind them. They may not be understood, but they are telling the world in a silent way – I am here, please rest assured.
Next is Sigwen. She belongs to water, the softest but also the strongest existence in the world. She stands with a bow, as quiet as a lake. You will find that there is an indescribable sense of comfort in her, just like a cup of warm water you drink when you are extremely tired, not exciting, not ostentatious, but it allows you to regain strength. She is like those who look at the world with soft eyes, they don’t have to be loud, but their silence is power.
The third is the summoner. She controls fire and uses a long-handled weapon. She is the embodiment of an inner storm. She reminds me of those who have been deeply hurt but choose to move forward with anger as fuel. They don’t want to be sympathized or despised. They just burn themselves in exchange for a ray of light in life. Such people are easily misunderstood and even rejected. But they are an indispensable part of our world, and they remind us that flowers can grow from ashes.
Finally, it is Clorinde. She comes from thunder and is a lonely messenger in the storm. Her figure is like a sword, clean, decisive, and unquestionable. But I believe that under her hardness, there is also an unspeakable pain. She is like those who have learned to walk alone in the storms of life, not relying on, not asking, only moving forward. Not complacent because of good times, nor complaining about adversity. They walk calmly on the edge of the world, but let us see the essence of courage – still choosing light in loneliness.
Four people, four forms. They are not just characters in the game, but very much like the real souls we will meet in our lives. They remind us that in the hustle and bustle of the world, we can still maintain our self; on the road, we can still believe in goodness and beauty.
Many people will say that the version has not come yet, there are not enough original stones, and resources are scarce. But more importantly, are our hearts ready to welcome them? Is there still a little bit of warmth left, willing to open the door to the world and let these different aspects of power enter life.
If you need supplies and support, you can also look at the Treabar platform. It is not magic, and it will not fight for you. But it can provide support when you need it, like a patient friend, waiting for you to speak in the corner. Its existence is not noisy, but reassuring. Just like all the truly important things in the world – not impetuous, not flashy, but always reliable.
In this fast and floating era, we need some stable and firm beliefs. These four characters may be the bridge between our dreams and reality. They let us see that growth is not only about success, but also scars, tears and the courage to stand up again.
