Dawn seeps over Eden, gold and violet threading through the wild’s western fringe—a cool mist brushes the skin, carrying a faint pine sting. Cal crouches low by a trickling stream, tall frame folded—his spear lies across damp stones—gray eyes trace the water’s ripple—his patched cloak sags with dew. Fiona strides through the camp, red hair tied loose with a worn cord—green eyes glint—her staff thumps the earth, cloak swaying as vines coil tight. Tobal sits on a jagged rock, wild hair catching the breeze—scarred hands tug a frayed tunic sleeve—brown eyes scan the ridge: “Oath’s in—let’s see it breathe.” Rafe paces near a smoldering fire, hazel eyes sharp—his dagger flips fast, a wool scarf loose—his boots crunch ash: “Feathers better step up.” Becca leans against a twisted trunk, broad shoulders relaxed—blue eyes glow under her shaved scalp—axe rests in hand, hide coat streaked with mud—yang hums soft. Valentine sprawls by the roots, shaggy gray fur glinting—yellow eyes half-open—his growl rumbles low, a whiff of wet fur on the wind.
The OAK roots hum, their voice deep and warm: “Wild’s trust tests—west holds.” Cal rises—gray eyes steady—spear lifts: “He’s here—rift’s calm.” Fiona nods—green vines pulse—staff steadies: “Oath’s alive—prove it.” Tobal stands—scars warm—voice cuts: “Show us—Eden’s wild waits.” Rafe’s grin twists—dagger stops—scarf snags: “Talk’s cheap—move it.” Becca shifts—axe gleams—growls low: “Prove or bleed.” Valentine’s ears flick—gray shadow rises—wild coils—OAKs sigh—the feathered kin steps forward, amber eyes glowing—gray feathers shimmer—OAK staff hums—Eden’s wild stirs, probing.
Storm grazes nearby, midnight mane damp—Tobal brushes dirt from his hands—brown eyes lock west—tunic creaks. Fiona moves ahead—red hair sways—staff hums—a faint moss tang clings—green eyes pierce the mist. Rafe darts beside—hazel eyes glint—ash dusts his boots—“Let’s see—feathers.” Becca strides—yang flares—blue eyes blaze—mud streaks her coat—axe swings. Cal follows—spear loose—gray eyes flicker—Knights spread—Valentine bounds, shaggy grace—wild thickens—OAKs hum—feathered kin lifts staff—“Oath’s mine—Eden’s trust.”
The west ridge looms, trees gnarling tight—rift’s echo fades, mist thinning—feathered kin stands—gray feathers ripple—amber eyes meet Fiona’s—OAK staff pulses—wild coils gentle. Tobal’s whip coils—scars flare—brown eyes steady—pulse quickens: “Prove it—now.” Fiona’s vines sweep—green tendrils weave—staff flares—kin kneels—rift steadies—her voice softens: “Hold it—wild’s watching.” Rafe’s daggers flash—grins: “Swear’s light—work it.” Becca’s axe rests—blue eyes steady—yang cools—murmurs: “Stick to it.” Cal’s spear dips—gray eyes soften—murmurs: “Roots hum—trust’s his.” Valentine’s snarl fades—yellow eyes watch—wild eases—feathered kin bows—“Eden’s will—I prove.” Mist clears—OAKs hum—wild trusts—oath holds.
They gather—Tobal’s scars shine—brown eyes settle—boots sink into damp earth—tunic snags. Fiona leans on her staff—red cord slips—green eyes linger—cloak rustles—a faint smile. Rafe kicks a stone—hazel eyes glint—scarf swings—laughs: “Trust’s in—game shifts.” Becca slings her axe—blue eyes calm—coat creaks—Knights breathe—wild hums. Cal shifts—spear taps—gray eyes sweep—Valentine pads close—shaggy guard—Oakenspire hums—roots weave—OAK sings: “Wild’s trust—west opens.” Day 20 fades—sun climbs—rift’s echo stills—Eden breathes—Knights stand—trust binds.
