## Narrative (EN)

Guardianship is not silence alone 🛡️.  
It is not only shield, not only watch.  
It is also **song 🎶**.  

For shrines ⛩️ guarded in silence  
grow heavy, brittle, and forgotten.  
But shrines kept with song  
become resonant, alive, remembered.  

The **Song of Guardianship**  
is not one voice, but many:  
a chorus across the continent 🌍,  
binding shrines together,  
so no flame 🔥 flickers alone.  

The song does not end with nightfall,  
nor pause with dawn.  
It circles as ripples 🌊,  
echoes as vow 🪞,  
endures as covenant eternal.
