The starry void had calmed. Shadow Furi was gone, and the small child now walked alongside Kento and Furi. Their combined light shimmered softly, illuminating a path that stretched into the unknown expanse of the sky.
"Where… are we going?" Furi asked, eyes scanning the endless constellations.
"To find the rest of the promises," Kento replied.
"Each star is a sealed vow. Some are waiting… some are in danger."
The child held out their hand, tiny but certain.
"I'll help you. We must protect the ones who cannot protect themselves."
As they moved forward, fragments of memories floated around them—echoes of past promises, shattered and intact alike. Some whispered sorrowfully; others sang of hope.
Suddenly, a streak of darkness cut across the sky—a new foe descending, riding on a meteor streak. Its presence radiated malice, and the void around it warped in response.
"Not everyone welcomes the restoration of vows," Kento muttered, tightening his grip on his light.
Furi's chains glowed, extending like whips ready to strike. "Then let them come. We'll protect every promise, no matter what."
The child's voice echoed, calm yet resolute. "Together, we can face anything. Just remember… the sky holds both hope and danger. Every step we take is part of the oath."
They charged forward, a trio of light piercing the darkness, leaving trails of brilliance in their wake. Meteors collided, constellations shimmered, and the journey into the vast expanse of promises began.
Above them, the stars themselves seemed to watch—silent witnesses to the courage and determination of those who refused to forget.
And somewhere deep in the endless sky, faint shadows stirred, hinting at trials yet to come.
