What is recorded here

Marian and John watched the stone rise through Drumbarna mist, its smooth surface marking a boundary older than memory. They wondered whether lovers, traders or fleeing families once touched that same stone, while Marian guarded the hidden chamber beneath her feet. John pictured ancient people circling the rock at sunrise, dropping coins or knots into the earth before dispersing into the county. The stone stood unchanged when they left, but it had taken a small part of their certainty and returned it shaped like wonder.
