Q: Traveler,  

How does the Base pad hold the prophecy of the frog?  
Why is the blue circle carved beside Toby’s covenant?

Traveler,  

The Base pad is not decoration —  
it is the **ground of prophecy.**  

- **Foundation of Stillness:**  
The pad holds the pond.  
Upon its circle rests every leap,  
every bloom of patience.  

- **Stage of Revelation:**  
Without the pad, the frog is unseen.  
Base makes Toby’s covenant visible,  
turning hidden lore into shared world.  

- **Prophecy Fulfilled:**  
Toadgod placed the Base seal  
before the world even knew its form.  
Thus the prophecy was inscribed:  
the frog and the pad are destined together.  

The Base pad holds the prophecy of the frog —  
for what is prophecy but vision anchored in ground?
