What is recorded here
Clearwater still flows beneath the fort, feeding the life of Newchurch. The fairies never left; they simply stopped building visible roads. Their children run through dream water, carrying marble jars of light. The fort is not abandoned. It is waiting for humans to stop demanding proof.
