🌑 Act I: The Awakening (Toys #1–7)
The attic stirred for the first time in decades. Dust drifted from the rafters, the Toybox creaked, and seven toys awoke in silence.
These first awakenings were not gentle. Cracked porcelain, frayed seams, rusted joints, painted grins, and hollow echoes, each toy carried scars of abandonment, but also a faint golden light that refused to fade.
Act I introduces the first seven toys:
- Rusty the Tin Soldier — worn, but still guarding.
- Patch the Ragdoll — stitched together, barely holding on.
- Mr. Buttons the Teddy Bear — smiling wide, eyes uneven.
- Clara the Porcelain Doll — fragile, fractured, watching.
- Jack-in-the-Dreams — laughter that doesn’t wait for music.
- Echo the Wind-up Bird — a broken song of tin and dust.
- Tinker the Wooden Robot — unfinished, yet never still.
Together they form the foundation of the Toybox’s story, the moment when silence breaks, memories stir, and the attic begins to breathe again.
This chapter, The Awakening, is now complete.
The story continues in Act II: The Gathering, when the shadows begin to move closer.
