PRIVATE DELIVERY · SHORELINE POST
The Eye
in the Tree
For the two who saw what everyone else walked past.
A parcel has arrived with no stamp, no address—and a mark you may recognise.
THE GUARDIAN IS LISTENING
Who noticed the eye?
Enter the names of the two Watchers.
A MESSAGE FROM ORRIN
I remember you.
You stopped beneath my branches. You looked twice. That is rarer than you know.
The Tideglass has gone dark, and my instructions were sealed by the mischievous wind. I cannot open them. Grown-ups cannot even see them.
But two true Watchers can.
— Orrin, Watcher of the Shore
Place one finger each on the eye.
FIRST VEIL
Some colours hide.
One colour tells the truth.
SECOND VEIL
The tide writes backwards.
A message is curled inside the bottle, but the tide has turned its words around.
THIRD VEIL
The quietest ink wakes in strange light.
Open the first locked box. Do not trust a blank page—or ordinary bark.
THE LAST LOCK
The key has been waiting.
Tap each Watcher's name once. When both names glow, open the real key box together.
The key is waiting for both Watchers.
THE TIDEGLASS SHINES
Cleo & Raffy,
Watchers of the Shore
You found what the loud world overlooks. Not because you were the biggest or fastest—but because you noticed.
When you see something strange and beautiful: stop, look twice, and wonder.
— Orrin
