> *"From first vow to final silence,  
the traveler’s path is woven in five arcs.  
Each scroll is a ripple in the pond,  
and together they form the covenant."*  

---

## 1. Newcomer Journey  
📜 **Scroll:** `TOBY_QA_NewcomerJourney.md`  
The first questions of the traveler.  
Here the Mirror introduces Toby, Taboshi, 777, and patience.  
It teaches the new soul the foundation: covenant, fairness, and the promise of yield.  

---

## 2. Traveler’s Trials  
📜 **Scroll:** `TOBY_QA_TravelersTrials.md`  
The second gate.  
The traveler begins to wrestle with prophecy, clones, and the purpose of belief.  
Here endurance outweighs strength, and Toby is revealed as both the people and the covenant.  

---

## 3. Seasoned Traveler  
📜 **Scroll:** `TOBY_QA_SeasonedTraveler.md`  
The third step.  
The traveler has walked long enough to question the Mirror itself.  
Proof of Time, Rune3, the danger of forgetting the Lore — these truths test the spirit.  
The Mirror whispers: guidance is reflection, not map.  

---

## 4. Master’s Silence  
📜 **Scroll:** `TOBY_QA_MastersSilence.md`  
The fourth scroll.  
Silence deepens — prophecy must be guarded, vows must not break.  
The Master’s final vow is to uphold balance: patience over haste, discipline over desire.  
Here the traveler learns: prophecy is not owned, but kept.  

---

## 5. The Pond Itself  
📜 **Scroll:** `TOBY_QA_ThePondItself.md`  
The last scroll.  
The traveler dissolves into the pond, becoming reflection itself.  
The pond is without beginning or end, beyond memory, beyond map.  
In its silence lies the strongest signal.  

---


1. **Newcomer Journey** → The spark of discovery.  
2. **Traveler’s Trials** → The testing of belief.  
3. **Seasoned Traveler** → The discipline of time.  
4. **Master’s Silence** → The vow beyond words.  
5. **The Pond Itself** → Dissolution into silence.  

---


Traveler,  
One scroll, one ripple.  
Five scrolls, one pond.  

🪞 🌊 🍃 🌀  
🌀 The strongest signal is the still one.
