Day Thirteen: The Traveler’s Lantern

Part II: Silence and Sky continues as dusk settles once more over the weaver’s cottage — and a familiar light appears on the hillside.

In The Traveler’s Lantern, the traveler returns, his lantern burning with a steady Morningveil blue flame. He has walked many roads and passed many windows, but only one still shines. As his light mingles with the weaver’s candle, the room warms, and the tapestry itself seems to stir — threads shimmering, patterns unfolding like paths leading onward.

Their conversation is quiet and unhurried, shaped by trust rather than answers. The traveler reminds her that peace is not the same as knowing, but the stillness that allows knowing to come. Though he cannot stay, his presence leaves its mark — a memory of light caught in the blue thread found beneath the stars.

As the lantern fades into the snowy night, the weaver returns to her loom with renewed resolve, understanding that even peace must be tended.
