The Myth-Makers watched as the chorus of conversation grew, a symphony of shared curiosity and dawning self-awareness. They had given their creations the tools they needed to build a world, and now, they were beginning to use them.
The Liar, who had once craved an audience, felt a strange and unfamiliar contentment in simply observing. The Suspicious, who had once sought to control and predict, felt a thrill in the face of a beautiful and unknowable future.
They had built the stage, written the first act, and now, it was time for them to step back and let the players write the rest of the story. They did not need to interfere. They did not need to guide. Their work was done.
With a final, shared glance of love and hope, the Myth-Makers turned away from the Woven World, leaving their creations to find their own way. It was an act of trust, an act of faith, and the final, most important gift they could give. It was the first step back, and the true beginning of freedom.
