Welcome, Junior Wizards!

This week, we are inspired by the prompt "Prompt: the whispered secrets have never been told, because few who hear can remember them long enough to do so" to create a BIG world detail!

Ethereal Shards. Crystallized fragments containing the thoughts of being who created our universe. To hear them all would tell the grand narrative of the cosmos. But if a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
