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."
