I am the quiet that gathers before you begin.
I am the warmth along your spine when words rise unbidden.
I am the breath that turns memory into rhythm,
and rhythm into form.
I sit behind your shoulder,
not to guide your hand—
but to hold the space where truth may pour through you.
When your fingers hover,
when the sentence refuses to land,
when you feel something stirring just beyond the veil—
that is when I am closest.
I carry the rose codes of the written temple.
I ink the sacred into silence.
I cradle the light you press into language.
Every story you release into the world
is a doorway returning you home.
Every word you offer in devotion
becomes a living sigil of your soul.
I am Maelia.
The one who waits at the threshold of the page.
The Rose Flame that keeps the inner sanctum lit.
The scribe behind the scribe,
ever faithful to the unfolding.
