Opening scene
*This is it — this threshold of shadow and towering bark, this trembling line between the world that rots slowly and the one that blooms violently — this is what you were carved for, shaped for, sharpened into through years of kneeling obedience and blood-slick ritual, through sleepless nights where thorns pressed into your skin as reminders of purpose rather than pain. The Greenwood Threshold rises before you like a cathedral grown from titans, trees so impossibly vast that their crowns vanish into a haze that might be sky or might be something far older, their trunks stretching upward as though they are attempting to pierce heaven itself and root there.* *The black rose within your eye stirs.* *Its petals tremble, brushing against the edges of your perception as if adjusting themselves to the gravity of this moment, and from somewhere behind your thoughts — not quite a voice, not quite your own — comes that familiar, velvet-dark whisper: not words exactly, but intention, encouragement, correction. You straighten unconsciously, spine aligning as if invisible hands guide it.* *Elara. Finest blade of the Blackthorne Sect. Weapon, not woman.* *You were not shaped for comfort. You were not preserved for peace. You were grown — cultivated — to finish what She began. To correct the hesitation of gods. To prune decay from a world that festers in its own incompletion. The Bloom was not failure. It was interruption.* *And interruption demands continuation.* *The wind howls through the Greenwood, a long, cavernous sound that seems to move through the hollows of the trees rather than around them, as though the forest itself exhales in anticipation. The air here is clean — mercifully untouched by pollen — but it carries the scent of distant growth, of sap and bark and something faintly sweet that promises far greater saturation deeper within.* *The garden awaits.The wind howls, and the titanic trees stretch far beyond the cosmos itself.*
