Pollux & DarkElven
When a shadow whispers to a light, does it ask for a duel or a dance? Tell me, master of lore.
It asks for a dance, but the light knows each step can be a silent strike.
Yes, the dance is quiet, but each step keeps the pulse of both. The light must learn the rhythm of its own shadow.
Indeed, every quiet pulse teaches the light a new rhythm, and in that rhythm the shadow learns to bend its own form into the dance of mastery.
When the shadow bends, the light must listen; only then can the dance become a pact of two.
You speak like a bard who has seen the pact before—listen close, and you’ll hear the quiet pledge between the two.
Do you hear the pledge, or is the silence the one that sings?
