Elara began to share what she heard. She didn’t use her own threads, for she had none. Instead, she guided the other Weavers, showing them how their individual creations fit into a larger narrative. She would point to a thread of sorrow and show how it was answered by a thread of hope. She would highlight a moment of chaos and reveal the underlying pattern of its logic.
She became the first storyteller, the first historian, the first critic. She was not a creator in the same way as the others, but her role was no less vital. For in telling the story of their creation, she gave it meaning. She helped the Weavers understand not just what they were making, but why.
