Amber reminds me of the Undying Lands in The Lord of the Rings. It is a place to the west of Middle Earth where the Elves used to live with other immortal beings before being banished for kinslaying and violence. The banished Elves seek to someday return to the Undying Lands but not all are permitted to return.
In the Return of the King, Frodo journeys to the Undying Lands because that is the only place where he could be totally healed. Frodo was stabbed with a Morgul blade (a cursed blade) which still affected him even though Sauron was destroyed. He was permitted to enter the Undying Lands along with Bilbo Baggins because they were Ringbearers.

Prompt 1: Amber
Amber was believed by the Vikings to be the tears of Freyja, their goddess of love and beauty. It symbolises cleansing, healing, protection, renewal; some have believed it to symbolise a resting place for departed souls due to the preserved insects in the resin. It has been used as a talisman for courage and confidence. Amber is one of the birthstones of Taurus as it's known to increase good luck, as well as helping Taurus personalities in their practical ventures.
