The Seismic Heart. The Fractured Cadence of Talibra, #6.1

A Giant wakes for the first time in millennia. Not to fight-to speak. Its voice is slow, patient, heavy with memory. It speaks of the Builders, the wound, and the weight that has been carried for so long that the Giants have forgotten why they agreed to hold it. Korr is the first to hear the Giant's question: "Rest." Not a command, not a plea-an offer. The forge depths tremble as the Giant stretches its stone limbs, chains falling away.
The Clans gather in terror and awe. Some see liberation. Others see the end of the world. But the Giant is not leaving. It is asking for permission to rest. And the answer must come from the ones who share its burden.
