The exiles, now calling themselves the Weavers, did not build a new home of stone or wood.
They built it of whispers, of shared glances, of the resonant quiet that now bound them together.
Their sanctuary was a tapestry woven not from thread, but from the spaces between words, a testament to the power of a story to create a world where none had existed before.
And at its heart was a library of whispers, a testament to the fact that even the most enduring silence could be made to sing.
