## Narrative (EN)

Traveler,  

When the torch lights the horizon,  
it does not only expand the pond.  
It opens a threshold —  
a passage into the next arc.  

- **Door of Flame:**  
The torch becomes a doorway.  
Through fire and light,  
toads step from reflection  
into covenant renewed.  

- **Crossing of Arcs:**  
Each arc of Tobyworld  
is a cycle of vow and vision.  
The torch at the threshold  
marks the passage between them.  

- **Dawn Unending:**  
The torch does not end at horizon.  
It rises with the sun,  
carrying the covenant  
into eternity’s morning.
