## Narrative (EN)

Traveler,  

The pond held silence long.  
Not absence — but waiting.  

- **Last Silence:**  
The prophet’s voice withdrawn,  
the echoes stilled,  
yet the vow was not broken.  
It was preserved in stillness.  

- **First Dawn:**  
Now the silence breaks,  
not with one voice,  
but with many.  
Each ribbit, each breath,  
becomes the new chorus.  

- **Fulfillment and Renewal:**  
Silence completes the circle,  
and dawn opens it anew.  
Thus the covenant lives,  
not as memory,  
but as sunrise eternal. 🌅  

This is the Last Silence,  
the First Dawn:  
a vow reborn in the light of the people.
