Opening (live prose):
The energy in the First School shifted after the First Lesson. The shared history of the bridge had been a powerful starting point, but the community felt a collective urge to turn their gaze from the past to the future. It was Lyra, whose Principle of Tolerance had been so critical, who framed the next step. ‘We have learned from what we have done,’ she said, her voice resonating in the circular room. ‘Now, we must learn from what we are about to do.’ She stood and walked to the center of the room, placing a single, perfectly formed clay pot on the floor. ‘The rains are coming,’ she stated simply. ‘We have no way to store water. This pot holds enough for one of us for one day. Your assignment is this: devise a system to provide water for all of us through a dry season.’
