Chapter Twelve. We are the Guardians.
There are many of us — so many.
We can do much, but not everything.
We keep perfecting our craft.
We always know what may happen, when, and how.
We cannot act in your place.
We cannot make you forget or remember.
We cannot make you love or stop loving.
We cannot take a life or revive the dead.
We do not summon rain, storms, winds, or other forces of nature — but we may ask those who do.
We do not take offense when you curse us.
We grant your requests — though not always as you expect.
We are almost superheroes, yet what you call a feat is simply our daily work.
Usually, you cannot see us.
In truth — never.
How can you know we’re near?
You feel fear.
You need help.
You receive what you asked for.
You escaped danger.
You were lucky.
You feel peace.
You breathe easier.
You are happy.
You thought of us.
And above all —
We… we are always near.
Remember this when you see a light feather gently fall into your hand.
