Chapter 9 - Episode 9 – The Ring and the Whisper

Scene: Secret Realms – Hidden Clan Gathering

The room is silent. A flame crackles in the middle as the clan elder, a towering figure with silver eyes, listens to the brother's report.

> Brother: "He wore her ring… the one I gave her before she disappeared."

Elder: "And you're sure?"

Brother: "Without a doubt. But I couldn't approach him. A powerful man was with him. His aura alone made my soul tremble."

The elder walks toward a map with glowing marks—secret bloodlines, sealed clans, forgotten legends.

> Elder: "If she bore a child… then the boy carries not only her blood—but the flame we lost."

He turns to the others.

> Elder: "Find out who protects him… and why."

Scene: Training Realm – Nightfall

Aeron sits quietly, staring at the ring on his finger. The memory of the lullaby from the dream still echoes in his head.

Azrakel (floating upside down, bored):

"So, you're just gonna stare at a ring now? What next, poetry hour?"

Aeron:

"Why does this ring feel… alive? Like it remembers her."

Suddenly, the ring glows faintly. The wind picks up. Aeron hears a soft whisper in an unknown language—the same one from the dream.

Scene: Flash Memory Triggered

A young woman stands before a mirror, gently placing the ring on her finger. Behind her, a small boy gives it to her—her younger brother.

> Boy: "This will protect you. I promise, when you wear this… no one can erase you from our memory."

The mirror cracks.

The scene fades.

Aeron (whispers):

"She… she had a brother. This ring… it's from him."

Azrakel (wide-eyed for once):

"Oh wow, emotional Aeron moment! Readers, this is your cue to cry. If not, just pretend—adds to the drama."

Scene: Elsewhere – The King's Chambers

Aeron's father stands silently, holding a sealed letter. The loyal friend who rescued Aeron speaks softly.

> Friend: "My King… I think he's starting to remember. And… someone has seen the ring."

The King's hands tremble slightly.

> King (softly):

"Then the world will soon know… whose child he truly is."

Scene: Final Moments – In the Depths of the Hidden Clan

The elder speaks to a mysterious figure cloaked in shadow.

> Elder: "If the boy is truly her son… then his existence is a threat and a key."

The figure nods.

> Shadowed Voice: "Then shall I bring him back… or end him?"

> Elder: "Not yet. Let us see if the boy awakens the flame… or is consumed by it."
