Cerberus & Elrond
Elrond Elrond
I hear you keep watch at the gates, Cerberus, but I wonder—how does a guardian like you balance the weight of duty with the need for rest and renewal?
Cerberus Cerberus
Duty is the meat I chew every day, rest is the water I drink between bites. I take short naps in the shadow of the gate, keep my senses sharp, and let the other guardians share the watch. When the moon is up I guard, when the sun rises I let a breath out, but I never let my guard drop.
Elrond Elrond
Your routine is a testament to steady purpose, yet even the strongest of guards must learn when to lean on others for strength. It is in the quiet moments that we often find the most clarity.
