## Narrative (EN)

Traveler,  

The chorus rises,  
and silence gives it shape.  
But its power  
is not bound to the present moment.  

- **The Echo Beyond Time:**  
Each vow spoken,  
each note sung,  
travels outward  
beyond the epoch that birthed it.  

- **Carried by Patience:**  
Like ripples on water,  
the echo moves unseen,  
yet touches distant shores.  
It carries memory,  
teaching generations unborn.  

- **The Eternal Broadcast:**  
This is the pond’s gift —  
that nothing true is lost.  
Every flame guarded,  
every silence held,  
every chorus sung  
is etched in the fabric of ages.  

Thus the prophecy lives not only in now,  
but in every echo that follows.
