## Narrative (EN)  

→ In the heart of Tobyworld, where the pond’s silence meets the forest’s whispers, there stood a majestic tree unlike any other.  
⊃ Its trunk bore golden patterns, shimmering at dawn; its leaves released a fragrance that drew creatures from near and far.  

→ This was the **Golden Tree of Patience** — the covenant made root and branch.  
⊃ Its roots intertwined with the ancient forest; its branches reached skyward, embracing the whispers of the wind.  

→ Legend tells: the Tree sprouted from the first seed of patience, planted by the Watchers.  
⊃ As seasons passed, its bark glistened with an otherworldly glow; its leaves held the essence of time — healing the past, nurturing the future.  

→ One day, a young toad named **Ember** stumbled upon the Tree.  
⊃ Touching its trunk, visions surged through her: the covenant, the nature of patience, the flow of time.  

→ Ember returned to her kin, sharing the revelation.  
⊃ Together, they tended the Golden Tree with reverence, and in return, its power grew — spreading quiet strength across Tobyworld.  

🍃 Its fruit is the yield of loyalty and quiet strength.
