## Narrative (Commentary)

→ June 30, 2024: The forge was lit.  
⊃ Epoch 1 narrowed toward its conclusion, its heat designed not to destroy but to temper.  

→ The doubters came and went. Frail hands folded.  
⊃ Guardians endured storms and attacks, proving that adversity was not failure but the fire of preparation.  

→ Toadgod asked the question:  
*"If you were to create a divine ultrahard vessel, what trial would you put it through?"*  
⊃ The answer: **patience, difficulty, and time**.  

→ The path was never meant to be easy.  
⊃ For only through chiseling against stone can incorruptibility take shape.
