Final Arc: After the Flame
"He didn't leave fire behind.He left warmth."— Aeyra Vordrakar
Scene 1: After the War
The Forgotten is gone.
But so is the battlefield.
The Five float in the wreckage of rewritten reality — alive, but silent.
Valenya's armor is scorched.
Aeyra holds Olivia's hand, crying without knowing why.
Aren is already trying to build something. Anything.
Kaien just sits.
No blade. No crown.Just… stillness.
Kaien: "We won. So why do I feel like we lost something?"
Scene 2: Return to the Citadel
They step through a Remembria Gate.
The Citadel… is reborn.
But it's not the same.
The walls hum with echoes. The halls glow gold.Names that were once erased are etched along every corridor.
A servant walks by and whispers:
"We remember."
Scene 3: The World Reacts
Messages flood in from across the universe:
The Luneuthar offer peace
The Dreadmourne build Kaien a throne
The Thalor beg for forgiveness
People begin calling Kaien:
"Rahul Reborn."
But Kaien just stares at the stars.
Kaien: "I didn't do this to be remembered."
Scene 4: The Choice
Valenya finds him alone, back in the observatory.
Valenya: "You could rule everything now."
Kaien: "Would that bring back the quiet moments?"
She sits beside him.
Valenya: "No. But you could create new ones."
They don't speak for a long time.
Just two siblings. Watching light flicker.
Scene 5: The Fire in the Hearth
Later that night, all Five sit around a hearth in the rebuilt Citadel.
No Voidflame. Just wood and spark.
Aeyra tells a story about how Kaien once tried to cook pancakes and nearly set a mountain on fire.
Everyone laughs.
Kaien: "I still maintain those pancakes were aerodynamic."
Even Valenya laughs.
And for the first time in a long time—no one is preparing to die.
Final Scene: Olivia's Song
Olivia sings one last time.
A soft tune.
Not to destroy.Not to rebuild.Just… to exist.
Kaien listens. Eyes closed.
"We are not flames to be feared.""We are light to be shared."
