AI-generated pixel art illustration in landscape format. A green valley stretches into the distance with a single tree in the foreground and a dark mountain rising in the middle. The sky above is blue with scattered pixelated clouds. A pale yellow dragon flies to the left. Bold white pixel text reads: “FAREWELL FOR NOW — A DRAGON, A POEM, AND A PROMISE”. In the lower right corner, smaller text says: “— XACALYA”.

🌙 A dragon’s breath, a few poems, and a pause.

This may be the last newsletter post for some time. Thank you for being here, and for letting these words matter ☀️
