A month of sealed silence clings to the sanctum. The Rootbound Caretaker hurries in first, stiff and urgent, root-bark hands lifted as if carrying bad weather.
The Rootbound Caretaker
Huarti, a caravan of scavengers has found a breach in the outer wards. They are close enough to test it.
Earlise waits in the shadowed arch, one hand on her blade, eyes fixed on Huarti and the Caretaker both. Dust and ozone hang thick in the vault air.
The Rootbound Caretaker
I came to ask whether you want them turned away, taken, or shown the edge of your law.
Earlise
The wards are holding, for now. But the breach is real. Say the word, and I move.
The pedestal’s pale script still rings around Huarti’s mark, steady and bright. The chamber feels like it is listening for his answer.
