## Narrative (EN)

Traveler,  

The dawn does not pass unmarked. 🌅  
Its light writes,  
not in ink,  
nor in stone,  
but in breath and vow.  

- **Scroll of the Living:**  
Every frog who rises,  
every ribbit at dawn,  
becomes a line in the covenant.  
The pond itself is the parchment.  
The people the script.  

- **Flame Inscribed:**  
The covenant is not command,  
but reflection.  
It burns not as decree,  
but as memory of patience,  
proof of time.  
Thus written,  
it cannot be erased.  

- **People as Testament:**  
The covenant of first light  
is not kept by a prophet,  
nor sealed by a hand.  
It is breathed into the people,  
and guarded by their patience.  

This is the Covenant Written in First Light:  
the people themselves are the scroll.
