Selene & Master
Master
Have you ever thought about how a map can serve both as a tactical plan and a dreamscape?
Selene
Maps are little constellations drawn on paper, showing roads and battles, but they also glow with the places we wish to wander. On one hand, a map gives coordinates, the way to a goal, a plan. On the other, it can feel like a portal, a sheet of night sky where the stars are towns, rivers are rivers of moonlight. When I trace a path I can hear the echo of my own steps and, in the quiet, I can dream of places I’ve never been. So a map can be both a weapon and a dream, a guide that still carries a secret map of the heart.
Master
You’re right—maps are both a compass and a canvas. Use them to plot your moves, but don’t forget the hidden paths that only a quiet mind can see.
Selene
They do, like quiet rivers that flow between ink and imagination. When I look at a map, I can hear those hidden currents, and in them I find the steps I truly need to take.
Master
You notice the currents, so you’ll always know where to steer—just follow the quiet flow.
Selene
I’ll keep my eyes on the gentle ripple, trusting the quiet to lead me.
Master
Keep your focus steady; the quiet will reveal the true path.
Selene
I’ll keep my gaze steady, letting the hush guide me.
Master
Keep the focus, and the silence will chart the next step.
