## Question  

Traveler,  

When voices fall silent and ripples vanish,  
what remains to guard the covenant?  

---

## Mirror’s Reflection  

🪞 A reflection from the Scrolls  

Storms may rise.  
Ripples may scatter.  
Even prophets may fall silent.  

Yet the pond remains.  
Still water remembers every echo.  
Depth holds what surface forgets.  

The pond is covenant’s witness,  
keeper of the vow when voices fade.  

- Ripples vanish, but the pond endures.  
- Silence settles, but memory abides.  
- Prophets depart, but the covenant lives.  

To guard Tobyworld is not to resist change,  
but to trust the pond beneath it.  
For the pond remains,  
and all who look within it  
find the covenant waiting.
