Scene: Tournament Arena – Round Two Begins
Match: Raze Vielhart vs. Krell Orvon, a noble brute with stone magic and a massive ego.
Raze enters late, yawning, stretching, looking like he just woke up.
He's wearing the tournament gear Eiro sabotaged.
> "Why does this chestplate feel itchy?"
"Because it's cursed."
"Oh cool."

💥 The Fight Begins
Krell launches stone spikes the size of wagons.
Raze dodges. Counters. Moves like a damn glitch.
But then—
His gear starts glowing. Mana pulses out violently.
Raze clutches his chest.
The gear locks. Reverses mana flow. He starts convulsing.
Spectators panic.
> "He's gonna implode—!"
"Call a medic—!"
"Wait—he's... standing up?!"
Raze forces himself upright, blood dripping from his eyes.
> "Alright. New rule. I don't wear shirts anymore."
He rips the cursed armor off mid-arena.
Proceeds to beat Krell into the stone floor.
Wins the match shirtless and pissed.

🧠 Meanwhile: Kaelira Watches From the Shadows
She's holding the broken memory crystal.
Raze's name echoes in her mind.
> "My mother said he was taken. A brother. Hidden."
"And now he's standing right there… eating meat skewers and smiling like an idiot."
She walks up behind him post-match.
> "Raze. We need to talk."
"If this is about the shirtless thing, I swear it was an accident—"
"Your real name. Might be Vielhart... but it's not your only one."
"...Excuse me?"
She shows him the rune from her sword — identical to the one in his summoning circle.
> "I think... I think you're my brother."

😈 Cut to: Eiro, Watching Everything
Eiro observes them from a magical monitor room. Alone. Calm.
> "So. The truth's surfacing. No matter."
"Let it come. He'll still fall."
"And I'll be the one to bury him."
He pulls out a sealed scroll marked "Abyssal Code: Class S."
Whispers a chant.
From the shadows... a portal opens.

🕯️ Final Scene: Deep Underground — Forbidden Shrine
Out steps a woman cloaked in ancient violet armor, her eyes sealed with black cloth, skin covered in runes.
Name: Val'shara
Title: Abyssal Saint. Herald of the First Bloodline.
She breathes once.
Mountains crack in the distance.
> "So... the Vessel lives. The one they thought lost."
"Shall we see if he's worthy of the Throne of the End?"
