This is part 2 of the Last Lighthouse 🌿
Not bending-but evolving.
Emery felt it most strongly at dawn, when mist curled low and the air hummed with restrained magic. She would rise early, before most others woke, and walk the winding paths alone. Sometimes she prayed-not to be worshipped, but to listen. To ensure she was not becoming what she had fled from.
Jax once joined her on one of these walks.
"You know the gods will notice," he said quietly, gaze fixed on the glowing horizon. "A place like this disrupts their order."
Emery nodded. "Let them notice."
Lyrasel, walking beside them, smiled softly. "Then they will have to face something they fear most."
"What's that?" Emery asked.
"A world that does not need them."
The words settled deep.
This land was not meant to challenge the world through war. It was not an empire waiting to rise. It was a contradiction made real-a living proof that harmony was possible where domination had failed.
Every half-blood here was safe.
Every scar mattered.
Every future was unwritten.
And as the Forest whispered through leaf and root, through moonlight and soil, a truth took hold-quiet, unstoppable, and alive:
A sanctuary had been born.
And one day, whether through fear or hope, the world beyond would feel its presence.
