🌍 Scene 1 – Echoes Across the Realm
The collapse of the Black Archive wasn't quiet.
It shattered skies.
Rain fell upwards.
Time warped for entire cities.
And names—names long forgotten—began to return.
Across the empires:
A schoolteacher gasped and collapsed, clutching her head.
> "Kael… Kael was my student…"
A royal advisor screamed during a council session.
> "He warned us! He died trying to protect us!"
A hermit in the mountains wept quietly.
> "Kael'Thoros Vex… the one they erased…"
The world, one memory at a time,
began to remember.

🧠Scene 2 – Cassia Breaks
Cassia sat alone, her sword beside her, shaking.
She remembered Kael from before Aegis.
From before his final rewrite.
> "You… you tried to save my sister," she whispered.
"You were burned for it. And I stood there. I didn't speak."
Tears fell. Not from guilt.
But from truth returned.
She stood slowly, voice trembling.
> "I remember your scream."
> "And now I'll fight beside it."

🔥 Scene 3 – Kael Feels the Shift
Kael, far above the crumbling archive, felt something enter him.
Not power.
Recognition.
The Hollow inside him pulsed in rhythm —
not chaotic, but synchronized.
Ashmourne began to hum.
And in the distance…
shadows shaped like himself began to rise.

🧿 Scene 4 – The Avatars Awaken
At different corners of the world,
Kael's past lives began to manifest — no longer just memories, but echoes with form:
A masked rogue in the underground — once Kael the Betrayer.
A silver-eyed mage in the frozen north — Kael the Forgotten Flame.
A one-armed general outside the Black Marsh — Kael the Undying Blade.
A child, barely twelve, holding a blood-red scroll — Kael the Prophet They Burned.
Each one remembered who they were.
Each one looked to the sky.
> "He broke the chain," the rogue whispered.
"It's time."

🩸 Scene 5 – The Gods Respond
Atop the last functioning Divine Spire,
the Council of Fractured Thrones finally acknowledged the threat.
> "The erased has returned," hissed God-Ruler Malrien.
"He carries all his forms."
A voice replied from the shadows.
> "He's not just a soul now.
He's becoming a living constellation."
> "Then we end him," Malrien declared.
"Call the Seal-Bearers.
Call the Truth Eaters.
Let the world choke on its own memory."

🛡️ Scene 6 – The First Avatar Meets Kael
Back in the ruins, Kael heard a whisper in the wind.
He turned — and saw a man in dark gray robes, eyes veiled, scars burned across his face.
> "You remember me?" the man asked.
Kael's hand tightened on Ashmourne.
> "You're me."
The man nodded.
> "Kael the First Flame.
You died screaming.
And I watched.
But now… I burn again."
Kael reached forward.
They clasped hands.
And for the first time, two versions of Kael merged.
The air trembled.
Kael didn't just become stronger.
He became whole-er.

📜 Scene 7 – The Message to the World
Kael stepped atop the ruins of the archive.
With Ashmourne raised high, and flame pouring from his spine,
he let his voice echo into every realm touched by divine fire:
> "You buried me.
Seventy-four times.
You erased my friends.
My name.
My soul.
But not this time."
> "I am Kael'Thoros Vex.
And I remember everything."
> "To those the gods made disappear — I walk for you."
> "To those who still serve them — I am the ash in your lungs."
> "To the gods — I am your correction."
