The village of Oakhaven was gripped by a drought so severe the earth cracked like broken pottery. For months, Elias, the village gardener, had worked himself to exhaustion. He hauled buckets from a drying well, dug irrigation trenches by hand, and prayed with a frantic, sweating desperation. Elias didn't move

A heavy drop hit his forehead. Then another. Within minutes, a deluge began—not a passing shower, but a deep, soaking rain that Oakhaven hadn't seen in a decade.

The air, which had been stiflingly hot, began to shift
