The masked man called himself Noctis.
He revealed a shocking truth:
"The Fallen Star is not a blessing. It is a sealed celestial weapon."
Ten years ago, Kael's mother tried to destroy it.
She failed.
And died.
Noctis extended his hand toward Aira.
"You are its final key."
Dark creatures surrounded the capital.
Screams echoed outside.
Aira's power reacted violently.
For the first time—
She lost control.
Crimson energy exploded outward.
The sky turned blood red.
And Kael grabbed her wrist.
"Focus on me!" he shouted.
For a moment, the chaos froze.
And Aira chose—
Not destruction.
But protection.
