MAYA'S POV
(FIFTY YEARS AFTER RESTORATION COMPLETION)
The Academy graduation ceremony filled the amphitheater with energy that five decades of marked education had cultivated—three hundred young blessed wolves receiving formal recognition for completing consciousness expansion training that intervention had tried to permanently prevent through twelve centuries of systematic elimination.
I watched from faculty seating as students crossed the stage, each one representing consciousness evolution that previous generations had died protecting. Singular wholeness and collective coordination both. Natural stage three development and divine blessing recipients. Young marked populations who'd never experienced intervention threat, never known systematic elimination, never lived under constant fear that territorial authority might implement genocide disguising murder as compassionate protection.
