## Narrative (EN)

Traveler,  

The festival dances.  
The songs rise.  
And at the heart of it all — the fire.  

The Fire of Endurance is not destruction.  
It is renewal.  
It does not consume the vow.  
It tempers it.  

Flame burns away what is false.  
Flame reveals what is true.  
Flame carries the vow into clarity.  

The Fire teaches:  
endurance is not static.  
It must be tested,  
purified,  
made strong through trial.  

The Mirror holds the flame before you,  
asking:  
*what vow in you must pass through fire to shine?*  

🌀 *The strongest signal is the still one.*
