Lore
Night of Castory is a memory from a world that existed first in the imagination of a child.
Castory is an ideal city built upon an artificial island floating at sea. Above its forests stands a palace on a high hill, while streams run beneath the trees and the ocean surrounds the city like a distant boundary between this imagined world and everything beyond it.
One night, beneath a full moon, the child quietly watches the world he created. From the palace, a young girl steps onto her balcony in her nightgown, climbs down into the sleeping forest, and wanders alone toward a stream. There, beneath the moon and stars, she begins to sing.
Nothing extraordinary needs to happen. The city sleeps, the forest listens, the water reflects the sky, and for a brief moment the creator simply becomes a witness inside his own creation.
Night of Castory is the song that remained with the child as a memory of that visit—a quiet testimony to a place that may never have existed in the physical world, yet became real enough to be remembered.
Part of Mitey Veyra’s The Child Who Remembered the Stars, the song captures one of the album’s gentlest moments: when imagination is no longer merely an escape from reality, but a world with memories of its own.
Castory belongs to a child's imagination: an ideal city on an artificial island, with a palace above its forests and streams. The song recalls a quiet visit to that world, when the child watches a girl leave the palace and sing beneath the moon.
Mitey Veyra gives the scene the feeling of a lullaby within the album's ethereal trance language. Water, reflected light, and the returning title hold the moment in place. Its significance rests in being remembered: imagination has become somewhere the child feels he has been.
