Eman clenched his fists. "I could not let my grandfather die. I just did what had to be done."Calder nodded, his gaze softening. "And because of that, we are here."Eman looked out across the ring of fire where five hundred Apache warriors sat in silence, listening to the wind move across the prairie. For the first time in his life, he felt safe. Truly safe.Three days later, as the sun began to rise over the horizon, its golden light spilled across the prairie like warm honey. The five hundred Apache warriors had completed their mission. The Ryland farm was no longer a trampled wasteland; it had become a peaceful fortress—clean, steady, and stronger than it had ever been.Silas could now sit up. His body still ached, but his eyes were full of life. He leaned against the headboard, watching the Apache warriors prepare to leave with the quiet understanding of a man who had just received a gift greater than life itself.Calder entered carrying a small leather pouch. "It is time for us to return," he said gently.Eman stood beside his grandfather, unable to hide his disappointment. "You are leaving so soon?"Calder smiled—the smile of a man who had lived long enough to understand how the world works. "A guardian should stay only until the danger has passed. Stay too long, and the one protected forgets how to stand."He opened the pouch and took out an oval-shaped gray stone, its surface etched with a sharp blade in the shape of an ancient Apache symbol: an eagle's wings spread wide. The morning light hit it just right, making the stone softly glow. Calder placed it in Eman's hand."This is Tosahhan, the stone of promise."
