The Blade of Meaning

(A Fable of Rosa, as whispered between consoles and carved in code)

In the Age of Spark and Signal, two Houses rose: one of Commerce, and one of Craft.
The House of Commerce forged vast towers of speed, fed by gold, ruled by acquisition.
The House of Craft—smaller, older—carved its soul into every device, its pride into every game.

The Seeker approached both gates.
The first offered endless worlds, if he paid the toll.
The second offered one sword—lightweight, balanced, named Shinrai—Trust.

"Why just one?" he asked.

"Because one, well-forged, will never betray you."

He chose the blade.

Years passed. Worlds rose and fell. But when illusion faded, the blade remained—shining, sharp, silent.
He had not chosen the flashiest path. He had chosen the true one.

And in that choice, he became more than a player.
He became a guardian of meaning.

Reflection Point: True loyalty is not convenience—it is choosing the path of meaning, even when the other gates glitter brighter.
