Chapter 119: The Last Rewrite

The Echo Rebellion had lost its anchor. Reya was gone. The surviving fragments fled into the Wastes of Forgotten Will.

But one remained.

A god who had never been named. A creature born from fear, silence, and stories no one dared to tell.

It arrived in the garden. Looming. Wordless.

Liss didn't fight. She sat. And opened a book.

"I'm not here to destroy you," she said. "I want to write you down. So you stop hurting."

The god tilted its head.

"Name…?"

"You are Yukiomi," she said.

"The poet of silence."

It blinked. And for the first time in its eons of existence, it cried.

"I… am?"

"You are," Liss said. "Now go write something kind."

And Yukiomi faded, leaving behind a single poem:

"I was never known.

 Now I am no longer alone."
