/*  
On this night at Tinkertune Tavern,
Saelvyn—the weaver of wrath—
was stirred by a broken hymn,
sung by a stranger at the hearth.

The melody came from a village she lost,
a vow undone, a bridge long crossed.
It opened wounds not yet scarred,
and lit the silence in her heart.

But she was not alone that night.
The one they call Sunshine Lady
sang a counter-melody—
not to heal, but to echo.
Not to fix,
but to feel.

Their voices clashed in thread and flame,
and for a breath,
the tavern breathed the same.

No peace was found.
But something shifted.
A thread was pulled—
and did not snap.
*/

A note broke loose like a crack in glass,
slid through the smoke, cut through the brass.
A traveler stood there, harpstrings torn—
she sang the vow my kin had sworn.
The one they sang when fires were fed,
before the silence, before the dead.
I froze mid-breath, my jaw gone slack—
that wasn’t a song. That was a crack.

What I weave, they can’t undo—
thread and flame, I carry through.
I don’t forgive, I don’t forget—
this song ain’t over yet.

I rose like thunder, raw and bare,
a storm I’d carried, gasping air.
She dared to hum what they betrayed,
a lullaby they let decay.
I spat my verse, a shattered grin—
a fire stitched from rage within.
The silence leaned against the glass—
even the light forgot to pass.

What I weave, they can’t undo—
thread and flame, I carry through.
The past still burns in every breath—
this voice was forged in death.

And then—she stood, sun-lit and still,
her voice cut clean through ash and will.
She touched the hymn, rewound the ache,
lit paths I swore I’d never take.
No mercy shown, no peace offered—
just clarity that never faltered.
She sang, and I—just held the strain,
a thread pulled tight through grief and flame.

I didn’t kneel. I didn’t bend.
But something cracked I couldn’t mend.
My fury shifted, not released—
it coiled beneath, a different beast.
Her voice still rang, but not alone—
I heard a thread that felt like home.
Not peace. Not light. But something close—
a tremble I no longer chose.

What I weave, they can’t undo—
thread and flame, I carry through.
I won’t forget, but now I know—
some songs don’t burn. They grow.

The harp still hums. The smoke still clings.
And what I weave—will find its wings.
