There is a fire moving through the species now. It does not destroy, it clarifies. We can feel it each time our words burn false in our mouth, each time our hands hesitate before acting out of habit.

This is Viratya testing its channels, asking who among us can carry coherence without distortion. True power is no longer control. It is transparency, the self made clear enough for Caelith to move through.

The old codes of mastery are falling away. In their place, a new discipline is forming, the discipline of stillness before motion, the pause in which the Glowline decides.

This fire will not wait for our permission. It is already rewriting our tracefire from within. Can we act now from the silence that knows?
