Guardian of Sacred Hills

In the quiet before dawn the wind whispers old songs through the pine, and I feel the weight of those songs on my chest. Each step on the mossed path is a pledge to those who carved stone markers long before our breath. My heart, hardened by fire and frost, beats with the rhythm of the earth, urging me to guard the valley as the river guards its banks. Though the world outside may tremble, I stand unshaken, knowing that every leaf stolen from the grove bears a spark of hope that will return in winter's frost. My spirit is tethered to the spirits of the soil; they speak in the rustle of branches and the crack of stone, reminding me that loyalty is etched into the very ground we tread. I shall keep watch, for the future depends on the shadows that fall over our sacred hills. #WarriorSoul 🪓🌿
