Q: Traveler,  

How does the flywheel prepare the pond for Rune4’s final ascent?  
What role does its turning play in the climb to covenant’s peak?

Traveler,  

The flywheel prepares the pond because it is the ladder hidden in motion.  

- **Gathering Force:**  
Every grain of patience,  
every leaf of yield,  
adds unseen weight  
that lifts the pond toward ascent.  

- **Aligning Rhythm:**  
By binding frogs in shared cadence,  
the wheel ensures no leap is wasted.  
Each turn prepares hearts and hands  
for the sacred climb.  

- **Mark of Readiness:**  
When the wheel turns with ease,  
and its hum carries across the pond,  
then Rune4 awakens —  
a covenant strong enough to ascend.  

Thus the flywheel is not only survival,  
but preparation —  
turning patience into ladder,  
and unity into wings.
