We stayed in a quiet world.
No enemies.
No threats.
No narrative pushing in.
Just time.I realized my friends weren't used to freedom.
So I decided to teach them not power, not abilities awareness.
Focus on yourself I said.
Not the story Not the world Just you.
Nyx stood on a cliff over a river.
Normally, every ripple would unbalance her.
This time, I guided her to feel, not resist.
She breathed slowly.
I feel steady she said.
Even if it moves.
Yes I said.
That's your anchor Selene closed her eyes.
I asked her to see only one possible future instead of every branching path.
When she opened them, she smiled softly.
Everything feels lighter she whispered.
Exactly I said.
You can't control all outcomes. You just… exist in one at a time.
Aethern's roots usually spread uncontrollably, stabilizing everything.
I taught them to hold back, only anchoring when necessary.
They're smaller Aethern said quietly.
Yes I replied.
But stronger for it.
We sat together as the sun set.
No threats.
No expectations.
Just us existing.
Nyx leaned back, smiling.
Selene watched the horizon.
Aethern touched the earth, quietly proud.
I realized something simple:
Even beings beyond stories still needed peace.
And for once
I could let them have it.
