The Glade’s dawn arrived in a fragile hush, mist silvering the grass as the Maze walls stood soft and ancient against a sky bleeding indigo to gold. Dew clung to motionless fields where cold tools stood crooked in the soil; fires lay cold, smoke absent. Only the drip of moisture and faint rustling broke the suspended silence, marking the tender, breathless pause between night and day.
