Birth of Project Eternum
With the Genesis Flame awakening inside him and the warning of the Nullborn fresh in his mind, Liam stood before the United Titan Council and the newly allied delegates of the Greys and Bihari.
The plan was unprecedented.
> PROJECT ETERNUM: INITIATIVE LAUNCHED
Objective: Create the First Multiversal Fleet.
Purpose: Identify and unite Champions from surviving alternate Earths.
Goal: Confront and destroy the Endwalkers and prevent the Nullborn's rise across all timelines.
Zairoth's voice carried through the Nexus Assembly Hall.
"The Genesis Flame changed everything. Now, we must reach beyond our own Earth—to find those like Liam, who resisted annihilation."
And so, the Call of Eternum was sent—a pulse through the very foundation of alternate realities, activating long-dormant protective systems, forgotten stasis pockets, and sealed Nexus Gates.

Earth-Twin Designate: Phase World 12-Theta
One such signal returned instantly.
Encrypted in celestial code.
Laced with astral harmonics.
A projection unfolded in the chamber—two radiant figures emerging in brilliant light.
Trinity Adara Willo.
Kaidon Azrael Willo.
The Celestial Twins.
Liam froze.
The entire council silenced.
Zairoth stepped forward, reverence in his voice.
"…Children of the Celestial Line. I thought their kind was lost."
The twins stood proudly, glowing with an aura that resonated in both spiritual and cosmic frequency.
Trinity's voice rang out—calm, commanding, and radiant.
"We are the last sovereigns of our Earth. We pulled it out of phase just before the Endwalkers arrived."
Kaidon added with solemn strength,
"We burned the paths behind us and sealed our world in a light-fold—until your signal reached through."
Liam stepped closer.
"You protected your people by removing your entire world from time-space... You weren't running. You were waiting."
Trinity nodded.
"We knew one day the war would stretch beyond our walls. You just told us who we've been waiting for."

The Selection of Champions
Across alternate Earths, the Call brought forward exceptional individuals who had defied extinction:
Seraphine Duskblade of Earth-9L: A rogue Endwalker defector who turned against her creators.
Reed Maddox of Earth-X: A human fused with a Crystalline Architect core who became a living stargate.
General N'Koro of Earth-R3: The warlord who reforged humanity's DNA to withstand timeline decay.
Trinity and Kaidon Willo of Earth-12-Theta: Celestial twins born from ancient cosmic convergence, bearers of stellar resonance and fate-thread manipulation.
Liam watched the profiles with deep thought.
Each of them a survivor. A miracle. A weapon.
He turned to the council.
"Send invites. I want them all here. I want them trained. Aligned. Ready to fight beside us."

The Arrival of the Celestial Twins
As the Nexus Rift opened again, the Celestial Twins descended, stepping onto Prime Earth for the first time.
The sky shifted momentarily as their arrival re-aligned nearby constellations.
Trinity looked around Titan Command with a serene smile.
"This place hums with purpose. You've built well, Liam Carter."
Kaidon glanced at Liam with a grin.
"But your weapons need tuning."
Liam laughed. "We just met, and you're already roasting my arsenal?"
Trinity stepped forward, touching the Genesis Flame hovering above the Spire.
The flame surged—responding to her.
"Your fire is meant to burn timelines," she whispered. "But together… we could shape them."
Liam felt the potential instantly.
With the Celestial Twins at his side, they could amplify Project Eternum, not just protect timelines—rewrite fractured ones. Heal what had been lost.

The War Map Expands
A new starmap formed—the Eternum Network, connecting allied Earths through phase gates, celestial conduits, and multidimensional bridges.
Each Champion's world was now synced to Earth-Prime.
But something else happened.
As Trinity and Kaidon activated their phase-beacons—
> ALERT: TIME-SHADOW CONTACT DETECTED.
SOURCE: NULLBORN ECHO – OBSERVING PHASE TRANSITIONS.
NULLBORN HAVE BEGUN WATCHING THE NETWORK.
Zairoth turned to Liam.
"The moment we built a web of resistance… they began to trace the strands."
Liam's jaw tightened.
"Then we move fast. We train faster. And when they try to follow…"
He looked toward Trinity and Kaidon.
"We'll collapse the road behind them."

Bloodlines of Power – Chains of Eternum Awakened
Revelations Beneath the Flame
The council had ended, and the hall emptied save for Liam and the Celestial Twins, Trinity Adara Willo and Kaidon Azrael Willo.
The Genesis Flame hovered above them, quiet yet impossibly radiant. It pulsed once… and then again, each beat in perfect synchrony with the energy surging within the twins.
Kaidon turned, eyes gleaming with stardust.
"You're wondering why we resonate with the Genesis Flame."
Liam nodded, crossing his arms.
"It's not just harmony. It's as if it's… completing something."
Trinity stepped forward and gently touched the edge of the flame. It wrapped around her fingers like silk.
"Because it was never meant to burn alone."
Liam narrowed his eyes. "Explain."
Kaidon smiled softly.
"Our parents were not ordinary beings. Not of any Earth. Not even of this dimension."

The Truth of Their Lineage
Trinity raised her hand, casting a small projection of two radiant figures: a glowing woman with a heart-shaped crown formed of light, and beside her—a man cloaked in swirling timelines and mental sigils, his left eye a ticking clock, his right—an ever-expanding nebula.
"Our mother was the Celestial Queen of Hearts, guardian of emotion, fate, and the Heartstone itself. Her will was connected to all life born from starlight."
Kaidon continued, his voice proud but measured.
"And our father… was a hybrid. Half Time-Lord, half Mind Sorcerer. He could bend time like water and unravel thoughts before they were spoken. They were chosen to birth the next cosmic balance."
Trinity looked directly into Liam's eyes.
"That balance… is us."
---
Chains of Eternum
Trinity and Kaidon extended their hands. Suddenly, two blindingly brilliant chains of light and cosmic alloy appeared—one silver, one golden, wrapped in runes that shimmered with every possible version of time.
> ITEMS RECOGNIZED: THE CHAINS OF ETERNUM
Class: Celestial-Absolute
Function: Bind Fate, Rewrite Possibility, Link Cores of Power Across Realities
Kaidon twirled his chain and slammed it into the ground.
The entire Nexus Spire shook.
"We didn't just survive our timeline. We anchored it. These chains held our Earth in place as we pulled it out of phase."
Trinity stepped forward and placed her chain gently around the Genesis Flame.
It didn't burn.
It embraced the chain.
> GENESIS FLAME RESPONSE: ETERNUM BOND ESTABLISHED. SYSTEM STABILITY: MAXIMUM
New Synchronization: Temporal Resonance Unlocked
Liam staggered back slightly, overwhelmed.
"You weren't just chosen… you were made to lead what's coming."
Kaidon nodded.
"We're not just here to help. We're here to finish what our parents started—and guide Earth Prime to what it was always meant to become: the Anchor of the Eternal Front."

Forging the Anchor: First Strike Planning
Liam summoned Zairoth, Dante, Elena, Shiro, Aria, and the Grey and Bihari envoys to the Central Core.
Using the Chains of Eternum, Trinity and Kaidon opened a Reality Lens, revealing a fractured Earth deep in collapse: Timeline 41-V.
That world had fought off the Voidborn… but now, Endwalkers had begun collapsing it from the inside, feeding on memories, rewriting leaders, converting children into empty echoes.
Liam pointed.
"That's where we strike first."
Dante cracked his neck.
"About time."
Trinity wrapped the silver chain around her wrist.
"I will stabilize their core timeline."
Kaidon linked the golden chain to the Aetherborne ship, Valorpoint.
"And I'll collapse their corrupt divergence branches so they can't spread."
Zairoth looked to Liam.
"If this works, Timeline 41-V could join the Eternum Network—and give us the strength we need to confront the First Endwalker King."
Liam's eyes burned with white-gold light.
"Then let's go save a world."
