Keeper of the Grove Folklore: “The Root Remembers”

Solan was always the steady one—the builder, the protector, the one who bore others’ weight. But lately, his own roots had grown tangled. He felt tired. Alone. Heavy with unseen labor.

When the sacred grounds began to wither, it was assumed Solan would restore them. But he hesitated.

“I don’t know how anymore,” he admitted.

The others surrounded him. “We’ll help.”
“But you don’t know the rites.”
“We’ll learn.”
“You’ll make mistakes.”
“We’ll grow.”

One by one, they offered what they had—Kael’s insight, Tari’s fire, Aryn’s intuition, Luma’s light. Solan directed them, yes—but did not carry it all. The grove bloomed in ways it never had.

He knelt at the roots and said, “We don’t protect each other by being perfect. We protect each other by being honest.”

And so, the grove remembered. And grew stronger.
