On the far rim of the world, where maps fray into question marks, there grew an orchard that ticked. The leaves clicked like tiny gears, and the fruit chimed the hour. Every dawn the Clockwork Orchard wound itself with wind, and every dusk it unwound into silence. It had done so for as long as anyone told stories—until the morning it didn’t. Five friends arrived to the hush: Elf Bar, cloak the color of moss at noon; ElfBar, twin to the first in brightness if not in step; Vozol, a pocketed inventor whose laugh was a toolbox; HQD, tall and calm, braids threaded with starlight; and Elf liq, a soft-spoken poet who carried a flame the way a musician carries a note. “Listen,” ElfBar whispered. The orchard stood still. Apples hung like paused bells. The air, accustomed to rhythm, felt off-balance, like a dancer waiting for the next beat. “It’s stopped,” HQD said, resting her palm against the bark of the nearest tree. “And the world nearby is holding its breath.” Vozol had already knelt, scattering brass moths to skitter over roots and fallen cogs. “Something jammed the heartshaft,” he muttered. “Or someone.” From deeper among the trees came a faint, uneven noise: a ticking that skipped. The friends followed it to a clearing where a single titanic tree rose, older than the idea of noon. At its center, through a lattice of bark, they could see a pendulum of light twitching, attempting to swing. “The Time-Seed,” Elf liq said, lantern low. “If it stops, seasons forget themselves. Spring might arrive all at once or never.” A sign was hammered into the roots, letters etched by a hurried hand: IF YOU WOULD RESTART ME, BRING BACK WHAT WAS LOST: — ONE BEAT OF COURAGE — ONE TURN OF KINDNESS — ONE MEASURE OF TRUTH — ONE SPARK OF PLAY — ONE NAME SPOKEN FREELY Elf Bar read it twice. “Beats, turns, measures—this is a recipe.” “Or a rehearsal,” ElfBar said, glancing at the pendulum. “We each carry one of those, don’t we?” “We’ll find out,” HQD replied, not unkindly. They set to work.
