Noah's response was to spin the Goad in a pattern that shouldn't have been martial but was.
Each rotation was effort.
Each contact with a Glyph was work. And the Principle of Perpetual Harvest recognized all of it!
|Continuous Effort Chain Detected|
|Multiplier Applied: x10, x100, x1000|

The battle became something beautiful in its complexity.
Noah moved through the forest of Glyphs like a teacher through a classroom of unruly concepts, his Goad dispensing lessons with each contact.
The Vicissitude Glyphs tried to change him, alter his nature, shift his purpose, but each attempt met the immovable fact of his identity…he was The Early Creature, Osmont, and that truth was written too deeply to be edited.
From the sidelines, his companions watched with varying degrees of awe.
