Scene: Midnight – The Training Realm
Aeron lay under the stars, muscles aching after an intense day of training. The world was quiet—except for Azrakel, who never truly shuts up.
Azrakel (whispering sarcastically):
"Aeron, wake up! You're snoring like a royal pig. Oh wait, you are royal. Never mind, carry on."
Aeron (half-asleep):
*"If you were real, I'd punch you."
Azrakel:
"And miss. Probably."
Suddenly, everything fades into silence…

Dream Realm Begins
A gentle breeze dances across a cliffside covered in soft golden grass. A woman stands there, holding a baby wrapped in red silk. Her eyes, though calm, hold a storm of sorrow and strength. She hums a melody—not words, but something deeper, almost ancient.
The wind carries whispers:
"My light… if fate separates us, may your flame never go out…"
The sky behind her ripples like water. Shadows move. She clutches the baby tighter and disappears in a blinding glow.

Scene: Aeron wakes up, breathless
He looks around, hands trembling. A faint glow pulses from the tattoo on his back, spreading momentarily to his arm.
Azrakel (serious for once):
"That... wasn't just a dream. You touched something ancient. Something personal."
Aeron:
"Who was she? Why did it feel like… I knew her?"
Azrakel:
"Guess who's got mom issues and world-saving responsibilities? You, Flamebearer."

Scene: Later that day – Training Ground
As Aeron begins meditating, the glow on his arm lingers. Suddenly, a small wisp of fire rises from the ground, humming the same lullaby from the dream.
Azrakel (softly):
"That song… was meant for you. You're starting to awaken not just power, Aeron, but memories the world buried."

Final Scene: Far away – In the Secret Realms
A young warrior stares at a screen showing Aeron's training footage.
He freezes.
On Aeron's hand is a ring—a ring he personally gave to his long-lost sister as a child.
Hidden Clan Brother:
"I've seen that ring before. It belongs to… her."
He turns to his father and brothers.
> "I saw a boy wearing the ring I gave our lost sister. I couldn't go near him… A powerful man guarded him. His aura warned me—if I took another step, I'd never return."
They fall silent.
The clan leader closes his eyes.
"Then… she had a child. And he's alive."
