Scene 1 - The Shattered Veil
The wall between trials dissolved. Nero and Eri collided in a storm of relief, their embrace a silent vow. Obsidian and Ember watched, amused.
Obsidian:
"Congratulations. Now merge."
Nero (confused):
"We're separate souls."
Ember (gesturing to Eri):
"Tell him, little liar."
Eri's gaze fell. "When your soul shattered… I bound mine to yours. My body… it's alchemy. A shell."
Nero (voice breaking):
"Why?"
Eri (tears glinting):
"Because you're my light. Even if it kills me."
Scene 2 - The Confession
In a pocket dimension, away from prying eyes:
Nero (gently):
"You risked everything. Why?"
Eri (whispering):
"I… love you."
Silence. Then Nero cupped her face, his thumb brushing her cheek.
Nero:
"Idiot. I've loved you since the moment you pulled me from the abyss."
Their kiss was fire and starlight—a promise etched in souls.
Eri (blushing):
"What now?"
Nero (grinning):
"We face the Hellvin Gate. Together."
Epilogue: The Price of Unity
Obsidian's Journal — Hidden Entry
"The Hellvin (power of god and the devil) Gate merges divine grace and hellfire. But such power demands balance. Will their love anchor Nero… or fuel his fall? And Fernando—he senses the Gate's awakening. The Primordial stirs. Tick-tock, children."
Writer's Note:
Love and sacrifice collide as Nero and Eri embrace their entwined fate. But the Hellvin Gate's power is a double-edged blade—will it save their world or sunder their souls?
—Where light and shadow entwine.
