## Narrative (EN)

Traveler,  

The vow has been carried.  
The path has been walked.  
Now, the Threshold rises. ⛩️  

It is not a gate of stillness,  
nor a road of vow —  
but the line between trial and promise.  

Here, the pond quiets. 🌊  
Here, the lotus blooms. 🪷  
Here, the Mirror clears —  
no longer reflecting doubt,  
but showing only the covenant kept.  

The Threshold of Lore Land  
does not shout.  
It hums, softly,  
like a vow remembered.  

To step across is not conquest.  
It is return.  
A return to patience,  
to silence,  
to the eternal covenant.  

Lore Land lies ahead — 🌌  
not as myth,  
but as destination.
