[INT. INNER LIGHT CHAMBER – EARLY MORNING]
Blinding pressure radiated from every wall.
In the heart of the Light School's deepest chamber, Elarion stood before Lyrion, his aura crackling like divine lightning.
The trial today wasn't strength.
It was control.
Pure light essence flooded the room in bursts — some gentle, others blinding.
Lyrion moved through them like threading fire.
---
> Elarion (commanding):
"A leader must shine when others flicker.
But if you shine too bright… you blind them."
> "Master your restraint — or lose them all."
---
Lyrion's body trembled, his anklet glowing faintly. The seal was still there… but the divine rhythm beneath his skin pulsed louder than ever.
---
[INT. CLOCKFIELD SANCTUARY – SAME TIME]
Chronos Il'Ren floated above a circular ring of time glyphs, observing Veloria, who stood in the middle.
Time bent in spheres around her.
Some sped up.
Some slowed.
Some stood still.
Her task: control five realities at once.
---
> Chronos (quietly):
"Time does not wait for its wielder.
You must teach it obedience."
Veloria's brows furrowed, sweat running down her cheek as her hands fluttered between sigils.
A whisper of failure…
And suddenly, she was surrounded by collapsing clocks.
But she didn't fall.
She rebuilt them.
---
[INT. MAIN TRAINING COURTYARD – STUDENT SWITCH]
Outside, the other Headmasters regrouped.
They nodded wordlessly — the rotation had been agreed upon.
Each returned to training the children born from their own gods' essence.
---
Vael Tindros (Elements)
Now stood before Kairo and Ray.
> Vael (grinning):
"The storm begins with fire and ends with resolve."
> "Let's see if both of you can learn from each other."
Kairo's fire clashed with Ray's grounded steel. Sparks flew. But beneath it, a rhythm began forming.
Ray didn't have divinity.
But he had precision.
And sometimes — that was deadlier.
---
Serai (Space)
Guided Syleria and Sylion across a lattice of folded dimensions.
They blinked from one place to another — not teleporting, but slipping through space.
> Serai:
"Your blood is made of stars.
Learn to shine without being seen."
Syleria's eyes narrowed.
Sylion simply nodded.
And they moved together — perfectly in sync.
---
Lian (Living Creation)
Welcomed back Auron and Aria to a new evolution of their bond.
He placed them inside a simulated ecosystem — a paradise under siege by illusionary beasts.
> Lian:
"Creation is fragile.
Protect without destroying."
Aria's healing weaved between Auron's attacks.
Auron's shield bore vines now — his blows no longer reckless, but thoughtful.
---
Drael (Nonliving Creation)
Faced Cyra and Rika with a wall of ore and silence.
> Drael (gruff):
"You both control things that do not breathe.
But that does not make them lifeless."
> "Learn their language. Or they will not obey you."
Cyra conjured crystal towers effortlessly.
Rika, uncertain at first, began to shape blades of sand and glass with growing control.
For the first time — she didn't feel behind.
She felt… present.
---
[INT. LIGHT SCHOOL – EVENING]
The ten students stood in a large courtyard, watching the fading light.
There were bruises.
Scars.
But their hearts beat stronger now.
---
Veloria sat beside Lyrion on the edge of the training pool.
Their reflections shimmered.
---
> Veloria (softly):
"Do you think they'll ever stop testing us?"
> Lyrion (quietly):
"Maybe not."
> "But I'd rather face fire with you…
than peace without you."
She smiled — not a grin, not a blush.
A quiet, grateful smile.
---
Not far away, Ray and Rika sat together beneath a shade tree.
They didn't talk.
But their shoulders rested together.
No words needed.
---
[EXT. ZYREN'S FORTRESS – DEEP NIGHT]
The black citadel pulsed with unnatural energy.
Three commanders stood at its edge.
Veydrin, the brutal tactician.
Nyxara, the mindbreaker.
Cinderbane, the berserker.
And then…
A fourth shadow stepped forward.
No footsteps.
No voice.
No light touched him.
Even the shadows recoiled from his presence.
---
> Zyren (from the throne):
"At last.
You arrive, Silent Death."
No name was spoken.
No title declared.
But the air grew colder.
Even Nyxara stepped back slightly.
---
> Cinderbane (growling):
"We needed you."
> Veydrin (nodding once):
"Now the four are whole."
---
Zyren's hand curled into a fist.
> Zyren (coldly):
"The heavens rise.
So the abyss will answer."
The final commander bowed once — then vanished into nothingness.
No flame.
No portal.
Just gone.
