Fifth Temple

I left the Forge Plane with four Blessings.
The fifth is the halfway mark... and Priala warned me this plane grows what you carry into it.

Daisy walked us four days northwest to a grove of ancient oaks. The Harvest Plane. Open sky, sun-warmed terraces, the heavy scent of pollen, and a seasonal cycle locked in endless spring. Trees splitting open with their own growth. Fields past harvest, drowning in grain. The plane is eating itself.

Shira's Flame found life in every living thing. Maren read sap the way she reads ocean currents. Aera's Storm rose full-strength under open sky. Dalla tracked corruption through soil minerals, far from her iron. The Harvest priestess taught me to read root systems the way I read structural diagrams.

I'm a stonemason. My instinct is permanence.
The Harvest tests what I will let grow... and what I will let go.

To take this Temple back and lift the fifth thread of Priala's sealing, I'm going to weave fire and water and wind and iron with growth in a domain that runs on rhythm and season. The Trial will use everything I carry into it. Including the dream I built in my head and never with my hands.
