he Old Owl of Whisperbark took shape from a tall slab of weathered wood that had stood through a hundred storms and remembered every one. A little driftwood bird perches at his crown, keeping watch while a pale rose blooms where his thoughts drift skyward. His mismatched eyes gaze in two directions at once—one on the path ahead, one on the quiet places behind—and a curl of bark forms an ear that catches even the softest secret. From below hangs a hollow moon on slender legs, swinging gently in the draft. He is the keeper of old stories, patient and knowing, reminding us that the oldest things often listen the hardest.
