🕯️ Scene 1 – The Vault of Secrets
Hidden beneath the hollowed ruins of Elaris, the Whispering Throne rested.
No guards.
No armies.
Just silence.
Kael stepped into the chamber — walls lined with living parchment, pulsing with stolen confessions.
His breath fogged as the temperature dropped.
And then, from the darkness, a voice spoke:
> "You shouldn't be here, Kael."
He turned.
From the shadows emerged… himself.
But not quite.
Kael the Betrayer.
Dagger on one side. Poison vial on the other.
Smirk carved from survival.

🧿 Scene 2 – The Meeting of Selves
Kael stared at this version of himself.
He was leaner. His eyes burned sharper.
This Kael wasn't made of rage or fire.
He was made of revenge and choices.
> "You're the one who infiltrated the gods' court," Kael said.
The Betrayer nodded.
> "I played the game. Smiled when they offered me the chains.
And smiled harder when I made them wear them."
> "Did you ever regret it?"
> "Only that I didn't twist the knife deeper."

🕵️ Scene 3 – Secrets as Weapons
The Betrayer walked him through the whispering vault.
Each scroll represented a sacred lie the gods had sold the world.
Kael passed one:
"The God of Light was born pure."
It unraveled into a truth:
He was a butcher first. A god second.
Another:
"There was never a first rebellion."
Truth:
There were seventeen. Kael led six.
Then one that made him stop:
"Kael never loved."
Truth:
He loved once. And the gods used it to break him.
Kael closed his eyes.
> "This place is their rot."
> "No," the Betrayer said.
"This place is their spine. Break it, and they fall."

🩸 Scene 4 – The Throne Speaks
The Whispering Throne shimmered into view.
Unlike Fire, it had no form.
Just a voice in the ear, laced with temptation.
> "You think burning truth will save you?"
> "I think hiding it kept you in power," Kael replied.
> "You'll lose everything."
> "I already did. Now I'm just taking back what's mine."
Suddenly, the whispers turned violent.
Kael felt his own thoughts begin to fracture.
> "Maybe you were wrong."
"Maybe the world was better without you."
"Maybe they were right to burn you."

🔥 Scene 5 – Betrayer Ascends
Kael fell to one knee.
His mind cracked open — and into that moment stepped the Betrayer.
> "You forget," he whispered into Kael's ear.
"I've survived poison stronger than doubt."
He grabbed Kael's hand and merged with him.
Memories flooded Kael's veins:
Court betrayals.
Smiles that killed.
Words that cut deeper than blades.
And then… clarity.
Kael rose again.
Ashmourne glowed black with secrets.
> "Let me whisper something back," Kael said.
> "You were never gods.
Just scared liars with thrones made of shame."

🧨 Scene 6 – Collapse of the Vault
Kael struck the whispering walls.
The scrolls exploded into sound.
Wars reappeared.
Heroes crumbled.
Forgotten gods howled in shame.
The entire structure collapsed.
But Kael walked out untouched.
Whispers still danced behind him…
> "He knows everything now."
"Even the things we forgot ourselves."
