Rally the Fallen
Rally the Fallen. Rally the Fallen is the quietest of the chosen's gifts, and the one that frightens them most. In their presence, broken things remember what they used to be. A shattered blade will hold its edge for one more swing. A dying soldier will stand for one more charge. A friend who has given up will find, for a moment, the person they were before the world wore them down. The restoration is never permanent. The blade shatters after. The soldier falls for good. The friend remembers, with terrible clarity, what hope felt like — and then must learn to carry its absence again. The chosen uses this gift sparingly. They have learned that reminding people of their best selves is a cruel thing, when the world will not let them keep it.
