The sound of thunder rattled the window panes.
The night breeze carried the fresh scent of damp earth, mingling with an ancient essence far older than time itself, reviving vivid memories of forgotten events and civilizations throughout history, allowing one to feel the weight of the past in each breath.
The aroma of graves and a will that cannot die emerged from the darkness; each gust of wind felt like a whisper from a forsaken world, awakening a fear that could even tremble the bravest of souls, as if reopening dark chapters that should have remained buried within the annals of history, where their shadows cast long over the present.
Fitran stood on the balcony of the tallest tower.
His cloak billowed against the storm, seemingly woven from the darkness of the night itself. Each raindrop created ripples in the air, like flashes of magic ready to burst forth. In his hand, he grasped Excalibur, which now pulsed softly with an aura of light magic, radiating a silvery glow that possessed the power to confront the darkness.
He knew. He felt. The sound of his heartbeat echoed, resonating with the movements of the wind that tore through the silence, awakening his primal instincts.
A figure that should have been buried in history had risen. This terror clung to his skin, keeping him awake in the oppressive silence of the night.
From the darkness of the storm, a tall shadow emerged.
Its steps were heavy yet soundless. Each footfall seeped into the earth, creating a fiendish wave that drew nearer, like a gravitational pull that diminished hope.
Osiris.
The King of Darkness, Guardian of the Ancient Will, and Binder of the Elyndra Family Oath, revealed himself with undeniable charisma, his presence a culmination of dread and power. An aura of darkness enveloped him like a thick fog, a shadow that glimmered with the promise of catastrophe, signaling his arrogance towards the eternal nature of time and space.
His robe was black adorned with ancient gold.
A cracked crown rested upon his head, a relic symbolizing the will of a ruler from forgotten eras, emitting a dim light akin to poison leaking from a lost memory. Behind him, shadowy pillars resembling hieroglyphs moved slowly, as if holding secrets that were feared to be unveiled, creating tension like a text striving desperately to rewrite the painful past.
His eyes glowed green, like the fires of an ancient tomb refusing to be extinguished. Their light pierced through the darkness, casting long shadows that moved towards the unexpected, as if signaling a long-simmering fury ready to be unleashed.
"Fitran Fate."
"You do not bear that promise. But your blood is bound to the one who does."
"I have come to claim what is mine."
Fitran lowered his sword beside him.
His gaze was sharp. There was no fear. Around him, the air trembled, as if responding to the tension that enveloped them. The scent of sulfur began to waft, signaling the gathering of magical power between them, creating an aura that was invisible yet profoundly real.
"That promise was made by the former rulers of Elyndra."
"And that ruler is no more."
"Sheena will not become a victim of a decayed old pact."
"Nor will my child." With each word he spoke, dark shadows began to swirl around Fitran, hinting at the pent-up emotions ready to explode. The rumble filled the sky, as if nature itself was listening to every threat uttered.
The ground trembled beneath them, and the dry grass around began to yellow, as if influenced by the dark magic summoned in this battle, illustrating the profound impact of the ongoing conflict.
A promise does not simply die with the one who made it; rather, it reverberates through time, tracing its roots in the hearts of those it touches, becoming a living entity of hope and burden alike.
"A promise lives. It grows. It demands."
"And the blood you create with Elyndra... is the price that was promised." Fitran's voice trembled with determination, creating a wave of emotional power within Osiris's heart, further intensifying the already charged atmosphere; anxiety seeped into the air, forming an energy wave that made his hair stand on end, while the very realm itself seemed to hold its breath, awaiting the outcome of this thrilling confrontation.
Fitran raised Excalibur.
A golden and blue light erupted from his sword, creating a dazzling burst of color that filled the surrounding area with an aura of grandeur and tension. The wind seemed to pause momentarily, anticipating the outcome of the forthcoming clash. On his left arm, glyphs began to emerge, pulsing like the heartbeat of the world, emitting a cold energy that penetrated his skin and shifted the atmosphere around him.
"Then you must engage me in a battle to obtain it." Osiris's voice echoed with formidable resonance, firm yet laced with a tone of challenge, as if he already knew the outcome of this duel before it even began; the sound rumbled like thunder, igniting the spirit of battle and anxiety within Fitran's chest.
"I am no longer just a human."
"I am not merely Sheena's husband." Fitran's words were filled with determination. Each word he spoke seemed to add weight to his shoulders, reminding him of everything at stake. The strength within him began to flow, filling his mind and body with a fiery spirit.
"I am the will that rejects the imposed fate." With unwavering confidence, Fitran raised Excalibur higher, the sword shining like the sun amidst a storm. This conviction burned away the remaining doubts in his heart.
"I... am the author of a new rule." Life and hope surged in Fitran's voice, breaking through the boundaries of magic that existed. He fought not just for himself but for those he loved, for a future worth fighting for.
Fitran leaped, Excalibur slicing swiftly, creating a radiant arc of light that illuminated the night. He could hear his own breath quickening, each step seeming to count down the seconds of courage that remained.
"Solar Edge: Judgement Crescent!" Fitran's voice burst forth in a thunderous declaration. The sword of light formed a crescent moon, shattering the hands with a blinding explosion of light, generating a wave of destructive energy that shook the earth beneath him. Smoke and dust swirled, obscuring his vision and adding a mystical atmosphere to the ongoing battle.
Shadows and light collided amidst the storm, an explosive ballet of power. The booming of magical energy reverberated, creating a resonance that throbbed at the very core of the earth, as if nature itself responded to this monumental clash. With each impact, the crack in the ground widened, seething with the remnants of the dark forces that sought to bring Fitran down.
Osiris raised his staff of will, his eyes glimmering with a hatred that darkened the sky and made it ominous.
"Chronos Binding: Oath Reclamation." The words erupted with formidable strength, transforming the atmosphere into a suffocating pressure, as if the laws of nature itself were bending. A circle of hieroglyphic magic formed beneath Fitran's feet, illuminating the ground with vibrant ancient symbols, creating an aura that seemed to momentarily halt the flow of time itself. The life around him felt thin, echoing the struggles of the many warriors who had come before him, each one leaving a legacy woven with sacrifice.
"I am not just demanding blood."
"I am demanding the time borrowed by Elyndra." Fitran's voice resonated powerfully, vibrating in the air with sharp intensity, capturing their attention and weaving an emotional tapestry into the ongoing battle, amplifying the newfound depth and determination. "And your time... I seize it now." His words filled the space like an electric charge, symbolizing his unwavering resolve, igniting the light of his sword and dazzling mental flashes of inspiration.
Fitran's body felt heavy.
His blood seemed to leap decades ahead in an instant.
His muscles were weak.The air turned icy.
As he realized the struggle was on the brink of disaster, he felt a painful vibration flowing from his fingertips to the marrow of his bones. It was as if every breath was being ripped away by an unbearable weight. Yet, within a heart trembling with fear, a glimmer of hope sparked, refusing to extinguish.
But then...
The glyph on his chest pulsed intensely. A radiant light from the glyph created a luminescent circle swirling around his body, releasing a calm yet terrifying hiss that seemed to challenge the darkness. The aura of magic contained both power and sorrow, reminding Fitran of everything at stake to reach this thrilling moment.
"The binding of time is an ancient law."
"I... have transcended it." His voice broke but remained firm and courageous, defying despair while reconciling with every pain he had endured. In these tense moments, Fitran could feel that this was his time, the moment where the threads of his destiny were laid before the universe, wagering everything on a final, decisive strike.
"Concept Severance: Temporal Nullification!" He shouted the incantation with fiery fervor, his voice choked yet determined, a mix of fear and awakening coursing through him. A wave of radiant energy surged around him, shattering the silence that had smothered the area with a dazzling explosion of golden and blue colors, signifying unmatched power gathering to break free from the shackles of time and destiny.
The magic circle replaced the hieroglyph of Osiris, engulfing the arena in its transformative glow. The light from the new glyph tore through the sky, ripping apart the thick atmosphere that had nearly suffocated him. Time resumed its normal flow like a river breaking through a dam. Instantly, everything that had come to a standstill burst forth into motion, creating an endless roar around him, turning the arena into a dynamic battleground reflective of the intense conflict and spiritual struggle unfolding.
Fitran leaped high into the air. In an instant, it was as if he was flying, defying the laws of gravity. Excalibur shone like the dawn sun. His sword blazed brightly, emanating a powerful energy that vibrated in the air, illustrating the strength of his fighting spirit. Deep within Fitran's heart burned a desire to see this through, while the light of the sword represented hope amidst the darkness surrounding him.
"Luminus Arc: Sever the Binding Oath!" He shouted his incantation with unwavering conviction, his booming voice echoing at its peak, as if shaking the very heavens. He felt that each word spoken was a promise to himself and to all who had fought alongside him - that today, he would not retreat.
Fitran's sword sliced toward Osiris. The sharp wind swept across the battlefield, as if witnessing this legendary duel.
A powerful clash.
DUARRRR! The sound of metal clashing reverberated throughout the arena, shattering the earlier silence. Magical energy trembled in the air, drawing the attention of the guardian spirits lurking in the shadows.
Waves of light and shadow surged across the peak of the palace, creating an explosion of color that shook the majestic pillars around them. Massive stones were hurled into the sky. As they fell, their sound was like the roar of thunder, and the ground trembled beneath the feet of the warriors.
Osiris pushed Fitran back, channeling the power within him. Fitran felt the impact of the attack, infusing the burning magic energy into himself.
"You are strong."
"But the old will cannot be erased by a sword." Osiris's voice was firm and intimidating, filled with an ancient aura that seemed to whisper a spell of strength that would never fade.
"You are fighting not just me. But the laws of the world." Osiris's eyes glowed with an intimidating red light, as if promising terrible consequences for anyone who dared to violate the balance of nature.
Fitran replied with a fiery spirit:
"Then I will write new rules with my blood and my will." Every word from his mouth was like a burning bullet, vibrating with determination. "I do not fight to honor old promises."
"I fight to stop a past that seeks to devour the future." Each phrase infused courage that ignited the fire within him, blending hope and anger in his struggle.
Osiris raised his staff high, and dark shadows swirled around him, challenging the natural order. With a graceful movement, he created a shining tapestry of magic, invading the surrounding space with a power that instilled fear and dread.
"Dominion of Ancient Pact: Tomb of the Heir," he declared, his voice resonating with power, summoning a force barely contained. Above the skies of Elysvarre, a massive magic circle formed, flickering ominously like a sunset trapped within storm clouds. Each corner of the circle emitted an unsettling light, instilling a profound sense of uncertainty in the hearts of all who beheld it, while glowing hieroglyphs sparkled as if alive, radiating an aura capable of burying kingdoms and their inhabitants in the depths of eternal darkness, making flesh and bone shudder at its formidable presence.

"If I cannot take that child, I will bury the entire Elysvarre with his will, leaving not a single soul behind." Fitran's voice echoed, piercing the silence of the night, the intensity rising with every word spoken, reflecting his burning determination to claim the power he had long dreamed of.
Fitran gripped Excalibur tightly, the gemstone on the hilt of his sword shimmering in the light like stars in the midnight sky, its radiance seemingly dancing in the air. "Solar Requiem Ascend: Blade of New Dawn!" With that cry, magical energy gathered and formed a whirlwind that shook the ground beneath him, sending vibrations that heralded the beginning of an unavoidable battle, reaffirming that every sacrifice would surely be rewarded.
The sword of light shone like an unstoppable morning sun, vanquishing the darkness that enveloped. Each swing of the sword radiated waves of warmth and hope, brightening the air despite the tension. The aura of magic and Flame of Judgement fused within it, creating a perilous blend that infused both heat and cold into the soul. The resulting explosion of light burned through the sky, creating a trail of fire that seemed to challenge the entire world to confront this fight.
"You will not bury our future," his declaration rang out passionately, the voice vibrating with hope and courage; these two elements must not be crushed by the impending evil. The sound resonated in the air, bolstering his resolve to confront the threat looming ahead.
The second collision began to unfold with even greater magnitude. The sound of metal clashing like thunder shattered the profound silence, shaking the very ground beneath them. Light and darkness surged upward into the sky, creating jagged cracks in the horizon. The deafening thunder heralded a battle that would irrevocably change everything; each strike rippled through the air, tearing at the skies and leaving devastating physical impacts around them, opening gaping wounds in the earth that writhed in pain, attesting to the sheer force unleashed in this epic conflict.
Elysvarre transformed into a battlefield, a stark divide between the old will and the new fate being written. Dust and emptiness mingled with flashes of pulsating energy, creating a tense atmosphere that drew everyone closer to the edge of an unforeseen climax, as if time itself had come to a halt, offering a fleeting moment to feel the monumental weight of decisions yet to be made in the coming week – weaving a narrative, asserting that fate is shaped not only by power but also by the choices taken, echoing throughout history.
