Elara descends into the heart of Gaia, carrying the womb crystal to it’s resting place. There is no battle left – only the weight of the moment and the quiet choice to return what was never meant to be held. As the crystal settles, the world does not erupt. It softens. New forms emerge. Something long held in tension begins to breathe again. When Elara rises once more, she is no longer bound to the surface she once called home. Below her, Gaia lives differently. Not restored – but deeper. And beyond her, the path continues.
