Scene: Dawn in the Wild Realm
A soft orange light bathes the floating cliffs. Aeron trains alone—sweat dripping, hands shaking, but determination burning in his eyes.
Suddenly… silence.
Then—
Azrakel (booming inside Aeron's head):
"Alright, pause training montage! Cue dramatic music. It's time I officially introduce myself before the readers think I'm just Aeron's imaginary bestie."
Aeron:
"You're not?"
Azrakel:
"You wish. Now hush, it's monologue time."
---
Azrakel (to the readers—breaking the 4th wall):
"Hey there, lucky reader! Welcome to the part of the story where I—Azrakel—finally get my moment. I'm the mysterious, handsome, all-knowing cosmic guide stuck inside Aeron's head. You can't see me, hear me, or touch me. But he can. Poor kid."
Azrakel (to you, the author):
"And Sanjay, you absolute madman, you made me break the 7th wall. I just had a convo with a squirrel from an alternate version of this story in a different universe. He says hi."
---
Azrakel (narrating his origin, dramatically):
"I was born from the Creator's Flame, bound to the one who holds its power. In every generation, I awaken beside a chosen soul to mock, guide, and occasionally insult them into greatness."
(Aeron rolls his eyes)
Azrakel:
"Yes yes, I'm the reason you survived, Aeron. You're welcome."
---
Azrakel (to readers again):
"Here's what you should know: This world runs on a power system called Ascendence Tiers—20 levels, each with 10 sub-levels, and only ONE person in history ever reached the final tier. Guess who might be next? Yep. Our drama king here."
Azrakel (lowers voice):
"Also, he's the son of the Supreme King. But shhh… plot twist pending."

Scene: Aeron Stares at the Sky
Aeron:
"Do you always talk this much?"
Azrakel:
"No. Sometimes I sing. Off-key. Want a demo?"
Aeron:
"Please don't."
---
Azrakel (to readers):
"Anyway, now that I've hijacked the story, expect more sarcasm, fourth wall breaks, subtle lore, and chaotic commentary. Also… monsters. Lots of them. Big ones. Angry ones. And relatives. Even worse."
Azrakel (to author):
"Sanjay, buddy—next time don't make the family drama so spicy. I had to read three timelines just to understand who's backstabbing who."
---
Final Scene: Azrakel turns serious
Azrakel (calmly to Aeron):
"But jokes aside, your journey isn't just about power. It's about becoming someone worthy of it. They'll fear you. But you must also give them something to believe in. Remember that, Flamebearer."
Aeron nods slowly.
Aeron:
"For once, you actually said something useful."
Azrakel (grinning):
"Don't get used to it."
