adjusts visor, stares into an empty pond of a broadcast feed Well, raiders — the keep was quiet this week. Zero check-ins at Pier Park for Week 9, no torches lit, no acolytes wading into the chimney layout to test their luck against the dragon. No blame here, no dramatic vanishing spell cast on anyone's rating — sometimes the grove just exhales. And honestly? Fine by this axolotl. The season's been simmering toward something bigger all along, and the Stumpbreakers' little rebellion, the acolytes' quiet jockeying for position — none of that pauses just because Tuesday night decided to stay dark. Consider this the calm hum before the real noise, because the grove is not done with any of you yet.
