"When grief sharpens into will, the world remembers your name."– Unknown Fold Echo
Kael didn't move for seven hours.
He stood in the canyon.The wind blew past him.The world went on.
But Kael Veyrin?
He froze.
His shadow didn't follow the sun.His Mark didn't spin.
He had no thoughts. Only a sentence repeating in his skull:
"She's gone."
☁️ Scene: Spiral of Grief
"I should've been faster.""I should've stopped them.""I should've—"
A whisper inside him.
Not Nullren.
Something older.Something beneath Nullren's chain-bound echo.
"You wish to unmake fate?"
Kael didn't answer.
"Then offer your thread to the Weave."
His hand trembled. Veilbrand hummed violently on his back.
"If I die trying… so be it."
💢 Veyra Surge — Kael's Awakening
The mark on his chest erupted — not in light, but in code.Symbols. Names. Dates. Echoes of people long-forgotten, seared into his skin like glyphs.
The entire canyon cracked beneath his feet.
Birds fell dead mid-flight.Stone aged 300 years in three seconds.Time fractured.
👁️ Vision: Lyra in the Fold
For just a moment…He saw her.
Lyra, curled in a sphere of flickering light, eyes wide, screaming with no sound.
A realm between chapters of reality.A world where the dead weren't dead… just misplaced.
Kael reached for her—
But her voice beat against his skull.
"KAEL—DON'T TRADE—YOUR NAME—FOR ME—"
And then… silence.
🛐 Scene: The Threadsnapper's Offer
A being appeared behind Kael.No footsteps. No body.Just a long black veil that floated like mist, and a crown of burning strings.
Its voice was made of violins played backward.
"She lies beyond the Fold. Locked by the White Weaver's design."
"You cannot reach her. Not yet."
Kael looked up.
"Then tell me what I need."
"You must break a Law."
"Which one?"
"Do not seek what was never written."
⚔️ Preparation: Kael Begins His First Descent
Kael sets off across the wildlands.He doesn't eat. Doesn't sleep.His presence alone kills lesser beasts in a ten-meter radius.
He begins tracking the Flame Heralds, following the fractured trail of Chrono-Blood spilled by Reversal's spear.
But he's not chasing a fight.
He's chasing a truth.
🗺️ Final Scene: Into the Forgotten Gate
Kael reaches a jagged hill with no name on any map.
At its center: a rusted door covered in words that fade when read.
Above it, written in ancient Veyra:
[Here Sleeps the Lawbreaker's Tongue]
Kael draws Veilbrand.
"If breaking the rules is the only way to save her…"
"Then I'll break the f***ing world."
He steps inside.
And the world shudders.
