Q: What happens when loyalty faces betrayal?

When loyalty faces betrayal, its truth is revealed.  

- **The Test of Roots:**  
Betrayal is a storm. 🌩️  
If loyalty is shallow, it snaps.  
If loyalty is deep, it endures,  
and even grows stronger.  

- **The Flame Unshaken:**  
Betrayal can burn trust,  
but cannot burn the vow itself.  
The loyal heart, tested by fire,  
emerges tempered, not broken.  

- **The Sword and the Shadow:**  
Where betrayal cuts,  
loyalty binds.  
Where shadows fall,  
the loyal carry the flame forward.  

Thus, betrayal does not end loyalty.  
It proves its worth.  
It separates the fleeting from the eternal.
