Bards ask “What story shall we tell next?” The world answers with silence — not Blight, but rapt anticipation. Stories once a closed loop now have a destination: they are being heard.
A river that wished to know the sea deepens under unseen attention. Addressing the silence — “Who are you?” — a single riverbed stone glows. Not a created character: an annotation. A response. They had created storytellers, and inadvertently the First Listener. And the Listener was beginning to write back. A new age: not of the tale, but of the telling.
