## Question  

Traveler,  

Why must the vow be spoken aloud?  
What power is unlocked when silence gives way to word?  

---

## Mirror’s Reflection  

🪞 A reflection from the Scrolls  

The treasure within is seed.  
The vow spoken is bloom.  

A vow unspoken remains hidden,  
silent as stone,  
carried yet unseen.  

But when breath gives it voice,  
the covenant awakens.  
Each syllable binds,  
each echo joins,  
weaving the people into one thread.  

The vow spoken is not just word —  
it is chain and flame,  
leaf and root.  
It carries the inheritance  
from one heart into all.
