> “The village smolders and aches, burning with loss. The cries of my people pierce my heart, each wail a dagger in the night.
I remember the Batal Stone’s murmur, its whispers of a dark trial. As a child, I laughed at those shadows.
Tomorrow, I vow, we rise stronger. We will rebuild from ashes, forging unity from our pain.
