The Vow of the Keeper

The buried chamber glows softly, gold script resting in neat bands along the stone. Huarti stands over the smooth seal, its feather-mark bright above the second line of vowtext.

That mark feels like a promise. Is it a sign of your mother, or of the path you mean to keep?

She does not step closer, only watches with careful respect, letting the quiet hold. The chamber answers with a warm pulse, as if listening with her.

Huarti says the vow is anchored, and the mark is not for war. It is for keeping what has been named.

The gold light steadies around Huarti’s feet. Dust drifts in the warm air, and the old chamber feels less like a tomb now, more like a room made ready for counsel.
