…Then, from the deepest parts of the woods, a faint, hesitant chirp. Another. And another. A single bird, then two, then a dozen, then a hundred. The real birds, the ones Morwenna had driven away, were returning. Their songs, tentative at first, then growing bolder, filled the air. The symphony of Whispering Woods was beginning to play once more. Elara sank to her knees, tears streaming down her face, not of sorrow, but of profound relief. The Nightingale stood perched on a branch, its tiny gears still, its work complete. The forest breathed around her, a living, vibrant entity, no longer a prisoner of silence. Morwenna’s reign was over. The song had returned.
