"They thought he would inherit Rahul's flame. They were wrong.
He became something Rahul never was—
A fire with a heart."
— Eon Thalor
Scene 1: Ashes of the Citadel
Kaien stood in the ruins.
Stone dust in his lungs.
Blood on his fingers.
No voice. No light.
Just… silence.
Valenya limped beside him.
Aren sat cradling Aeyra, who hadn't woken since the vault blast.
Olivia held Kaien's cloak. Tight.
Not speaking.
If she did, she'd scream.
Valenya: "It's gone."
Kaien: "…Not yet."
He stepped into the crater where the flame once burned.
Closed his eyes.
And something deep inside him broke open.
Scene 2: The Flame Unsealed
Not Voidflame.
Not Crownflame.
This was Memoryflame.
It wasn't power.
It was everything they'd lost — still burning inside him.
Every moment he laughed with Aeyra. Every time Aren smiled through failure. Every glance Olivia gave him when she thought no one saw. Every scar Valenya hid behind strength.
It ignited.
Not in anger.
In love so fierce it became fire.
Scene 3: The Heir Awakens
The sky split open.
Kaien's body lifted from the crater.
A ring of shifting flame formed behind him — not a halo. A seal.
The Five looked up.
Even Aeyra stirred, whispering:
"It's happening…"
Eon Thalor appeared from a fold in space — speechless.
Eon: "That… was Rahul's final fear."
"That someone would love the world enough… to burn for it."
Kaien opened his eyes.
They weren't red.
They weren't white.
They were mirrors — reflecting everyone he swore to protect.
Scene 4: The Response of the Forgotten
Across the cosmos, the Forgotten stirred.
The stolen scroll unfurled.
Kaien's name began to vanish — letter by letter — from the page of existence.
The Forgotten: "You burn. We erase."
"You scream. We silence."
"You remember? We rewrite."
But something happened.
The scroll caught fire.
**Kaien's flame ignited it from the future. **
"You don't get to decide what matters to me."
Scene 5: The Flame That Fights Back
Kaien didn't attack.
He remembered.
He remembered Olivia's voice.
Valenya's courage.
Aren's defiance.
Aeyra's faith.
And the universe itself began to pull their moments back from erasure.
Time tried to undo him.
And failed.
Scene 6: The Five Reunite
Kaien landed, smoking.
Not dead.
Transcended.
He fell to one knee.
The others rushed in.
Aeyra hugged him — weeping, but smiling.
"You idiot…"
Kaien (softly): "Still here."
Valenya punched his shoulder.
Aren handed him a bottle of "hydration juice" (questionably safe).
Olivia stepped forward.
He looked at her.
"You burned for us," she said.
Kaien: "Because you all lit the spark."
They held hands.
No fire. No flame.
Just warmth.
Final Scene: A New Path
Eon Thalor stood before them.
"This is no longer Rahul's story."
"The Forgotten has declared war."
"And you, Kaien… are the only one it cannot erase."
Kaien turned to the stars.
The fire behind him shaped itself into wings.
"Then let's go show them what five flames can do."
