Options: Kaelion | Lucien
Selene didn't choose.
She stood in the burning void between worlds—
And refused either name to define her.
Elsewhere — Kaelion's March
He rode for Virellia.
Alone.
No army. No crown.
Only a name he couldn't forget, and a promise he never kept.
"This time… I will not watch her burn."
Virellia — Selene's Tower
She gazed out over the mountains. The stars above her pulsed strangely—like eyes blinking from another realm.
[System Alert: Echo Queen Fragment Approaching.]
Selene turned slowly—
And saw herself.
But twisted.
Eyes hollow. Voice sharp.
"You were supposed to stay dead," the Echo Queen said. "You were not chosen to win."
Selene stepped forward.
"No," she said. "I chose myself."
Lucien's Ritual Chamber
The mirror cracked.
His connection to the Echo Selene frayed — she was rejecting even her own reflection.
Lucien's jaw clenched.
"She's rewriting fate."
He dipped his fingers in divine blood.
"Then I'll write war."
Final Scene
The sky above Virellia split in two.
A divine horn sounded across realms.
And from the heavens themselves, a golden gate opened—
Revealing the Conclave descending.
Twelve gods.
One verdict.
And one throne too dangerous to remain unclaimed.
