It speaks of the line after the battle has passed. Of those who remain when nothing is left to reclaim. Of a gate that does not fall, not because it cannot—but because it is held. Two brothers stand beneath the same sky. One holds the line at the gate. One walks beyond where no path remains. Above them both, the breach still waits. This record is not one of victory. It is carried as a reminder: The Dominion was never promised victory. Only the strength to continue. Among the people, it is not sung to celebrate. It is remembered in quiet moments— when the work is too great, when the storm returns, and when the line must be held without promise of relief.
