She learned to listen before she learned to answer. In Wood Drow, where towers braided themselves from living root and rope and the city kept its breath in long, patient cycles, the quietest things kept the oldest promises, and the oldest promises kept their own counsel.

The Windspire was not the tallest or the oldest of the towers, but it was the one that set the tone for the rest: a place where conversation was a craft and magic was a medium rather than a weapon. People came to the Windspire to learn how to enter the world's speech without interrupting it, to learn how to be companion to the land's quieter frequencies. Elyr, daughter of Azelder, had been taught formulas and handed tools, but what she carried most truly was a posture, a tilt of the head, a readiness to be present to what the world offered rather than to force it into her hands.

She moved through the city like someone who had practiced being small and large at once. Her robes were the muted colors of undergrowth; her staff was warm under her palm as if it remembered the sun. She kept seed orbs at her belt that held light and recorded words; she wore a leather cuff with pockets for sage and iron filings and a riverstone worn smooth by habit. These were the outward things of apprenticeship. The inward thing was listening: the habit of letting a sound finish itself before deciding whether it needed her interference.
