📜 Scene 1 – The Vault Beneath the Library
A hundred stone steps below Aegis Academy, time ceased to move.
The Endless Library had led them here — to a sealed black vault wrapped in veins of crystal, whispering in a forgotten language. The Hollow's breath danced in the air like frost.
Cassia's hand trembled as she stepped forward.
"Are you sure?" she asked Aric. "Once you open this… you might not be Aric anymore."
> "Then let the world learn who I've always been."
He placed his palm on the stone.
The vault responded with heat.
Letters ignited on the door — not in any known script, but in living flame.
It wasn't a lock.
It was a warning.
> "What you seek is unmade.
What you read, will be you."
The vault opened.

🧠Scene 2 – The Records of the Erased
Inside, no gold, no magic relics.
Just a single pedestal.
A scroll.
And above it, floating in flame — a name:
> "Kael'Thoros Vex."
Aric stared.
He didn't blink.
Because in his soul, the name fit — like a scream that had been waiting for centuries.
> "That's… not your name," Cassia whispered.
> "It is," Aric said softly. "It was. Before the gods rewrote me. Before Aegis forged me into Aric Vale."
The scroll trembled open.
And the Record of the Unwritten began to narrate.

🕳️ Scene 3 – The Forgotten Boy
> "Kael'Thoros Vex was born in the Age of the Hollow,
in a village now erased from every map.
A boy born during a celestial rupture — a sign of doom.
The Seers called him cursed.
The priests feared his bloodline.
The gods made a decision:
Erase his existence, and rewrite him into the system."
Cassia fell to her knees.
"Aric… they didn't just kill you before.
They killed you long before you were ever born."
Aric watched silently as memories bled into him — visions of a boy dragged from his mother's arms, his identity carved into fire, renamed, reeducated, reprogrammed.
He wasn't reborn from death.
> He had been reborn again and again, under different names — every time the gods feared he would awaken.

⚔️ Scene 4 – The Unburnable Name
The Hollow's voice returned — but this time, it was not commanding.
It was respectful.
> "You are not a vessel, Kael.
You are the final spark that escaped their cage."
The letters of his name — Kael'Thoros Vex — flared behind his eyes, and with them came flame not of destruction, but of remembrance.
He turned to Cassia.
Tears streamed down her face.
"Why didn't I see it before?" she asked. "Why didn't we feel it?"
> "Because they made us forget," Aric said. "They made everyone forget."
> "But now… I remember everything."

🌌 Scene 5 – The System Reacts
Across Aegis Academy, the air shifted.
Mirrors cracked. Time crystals shattered.
The sky flashed red.
> đź“Ł SYSTEM WARNING: UNRECORDED NAME HAS BEEN SPOKEN
Divine Firewall Failed.
From the heavens, a ripple descended — the first god-layer collapsing in panic.
In temples, priests collapsed, screaming.
Old books spontaneously combusted.
The name "Kael'Thoros Vex" became a virus in the divine code — a living truth that could not be deleted.

🩸 Scene 6 – Cassia's Breakdown
Cassia stood in front of him, sword in hand.
But she wasn't threatening him.
She was shaking.
"I was trained to kill Unwritten Ones," she whispered.
"I was taught they were the enemy. That they would tear the world apart. That if I ever saw one, I had to behead them — before their name took root."
Aric stepped forward.
> "Then do it."
She dropped the blade.
> "You're not the end of the world, Kael.
You're just the first one telling the truth."

🔥 Scene 7 – The Name Takes Hold
The Hollow's energy now fully aligned with him.
But something was different.
He wasn't just holding the power.
> He had become the script.
Every step he took left fire-text behind him.
He could rewrite truth by walking.
As he exited the vault, a new passage formed behind him on the wall — written in divine ink:
> "When they feared you, they burned your name.
When you remembered it, you burned the gods."
