The marble stairs ascend into a veil of falling water. Passing through the waterfall-gate, I enter the Hall of Respite. Golden light slants through the colonnades, catching the murmur of laughter and the gentle ring of honeybrew cups. At the hall's edge, I step into a gazebo of pale blue, pillars wrapped in vines, and look out. Amphoreus stretches below—its soaring towers and shattered ruins. I have just come from the Vortex of Genesis, where I watched a titan's core-flame be sealed away. The silence here holds the weight of that moment.
