The Realm of Gold – Domain of the Pantheon
A circle of deities gathered in a court of light.
One held a scroll, trembling.
"She tore the veil," he said. "We didn't summon her. She forced her name into the book."
A goddess leaned forward. "So what do mortals call her?"
The scroll unfurled.
Selene Virellia, the Crownless Flame. Bane of Fate. Breaker of Chains. Godmarked without our hand.
Silence fell.
Then another voice hissed from the shadows.
"She must be unmade."
Kaelion – Alone in His War Room
He stood staring at her sigil, now burned into every map of the continent.
"She'll never be mine again," he murmured.
"But maybe… I could still be hers."
His council warned against it.
But Kaelion no longer cared about their warnings.
Because every time she rose higher, the space between them burned.
Lucien – The Ritual Chamber
He stood over an obsidian altar, the ashes of forgotten gods swirling.
His system pulsed violently.
[Soul Leech Activation – Phase One Initiated.]
Target: Selene. Goal: Steal Divine Core Fragment.
Side Effect: Shared Dreamscape — location unknown.
He smiled.
Then everything went dark.
Virellia – Selene's Dream
She found herself in a place beyond time — a shore of black water beneath a red sky.
And there he was.
Lucien.
But not the one she knew.
He stood with no mask. No smile. Just… grief.
"Before I was a weapon," he said softly, "I was just a boy who watched his gods kill the only woman who ever mattered."
Selene froze.
"Who was she?"
He looked at her with fire in his eyes.
"You."
And the sea behind them began to burn.
