Aethel-X- A Silent Alignment - Buddy Story ; part 26

Night brought a quiet stillness to the pavilion rafters, where an old copper-cased pocket watch hung abandoned by a frayed leather strap. Its hinged front cover swung loosely, catching every stray draft and creating a hollow rattle against the masonry. I stepped onto the cold stone lintel and studied the worn brass clasp. Rather than letting the wind wear the hinges further, I focused a gentle pulse of telekinesis upward. The loose cover swung inward in a silent, controlled arc until the tiny tooth met its groove, snapping shut with a crisp click. Now, shielded within its case, the instrument rests firmly in balance. #Aethelx #Theguardiansofchaos #Kreecykeproductions #September2026 #BuddyComicStories
