The Broken Witnesses

Half-buried in dust and time, the lower face of a forgotten monument gazes out over the battlefield. Its upper features have long since crumbled, yet something in its expression endures—calm, observant, almost mournful.

No cult gathers here, no banners are planted. And yet, soldiers pass it in silence. Some say it has seen every battle fought in its shadow. Others claim it remembers.

It speaks nothing. But it sees everything.
