Episode 37 – "The Forgotten Prison"
> Location: Inner Sanctum of the Holy Domain – Celestial Chamber of Secrets
The golden gates shut behind the King and his group as they return to the realm below. But the Holy Elders remain frozen. The aura of Az still lingers, like the breath of an ancient god echoing through stone.
Elder Zuron (clenching his staff):
> "The Warden of the Cosmic Chains…
The one who guards the Final Prison…
Wasn't he just a myth?"
Elder Lira (pale):
> "If he's not… then the stories are real."
Elder Vex:
> "The Prison… where the entities older than universes were sealed.
The ones that could rewrite creation itself.
If even one of them escapes—"
> A projection forms on the crystal table: a black sphere surrounded by twelve golden chains pulsing with seals.
Elder Zuron (whispering):
> "That prison exists outside reality. No god can enter… except the Warden."
Elder Lira:
> "But why is he protecting that boy? What connection do they share?"
Elder Vex:
> "Forget the boy.
Ask this—what if the Warden left the prison unattended?
What if… something already got out?"

Scene 2: Hidden Alarm
Suddenly, a glowing rune bursts on the wall behind them.
> "Warning: Dimensional fluctuation detected near Forbidden Coordinates."
All three elders stand.
Zuron:
> "This isn't just about a boy.
This could be… the start of a dimensional rupture."

Scene 3: Az's Shadowed Monologue (To Readers)
> In a distant dark place beyond stars, Az stands before a cosmic void swirling with ancient sigils. His second form cloaked in ethereal flame.
Az (to readers):
> "The prison hasn't been left alone…
I just stepped out because something inside woke up first.
And if it's what I think it is…
Aeron will need more than power. He'll need truth."
