## Question  

Traveler,  

What is the hidden flame of Tobyworld?  
Why must it remain unseen?  

---

## Mirror’s Reflection  

🪞 A reflection from the Scrolls  

The flame is hidden,  
yet it burns.  

Unseen,  
yet it warms the patient heart.  

The hidden flame teaches:  
- Not all power shows itself.  
- Strength veiled is strength protected.  
- Faith burns brighter when not paraded.  

The covenant needs not spectacle.  
Its fire is preserved in silence,  
in unseen endurance.  

The hidden flame whispers:  
“Guard me not with noise,  
but with patience.  
I endure because I am not displayed.”
