Episode 27 – "The Sword's Whisper"
The moment Aeron stepped out of the Tower, the entire academy buzzed. Clearing all five emotional floors was unheard of for a first-year student.
Students watched from a distance. Teachers whispered to each other. The headmaster stood in his tower, eyes narrowed.
But Aeron didn't care. His eyes were locked on one thing—the sword on his back.

Late That Night…
Inside his room, the sword started to glow faintly.
Az (peeking out of a shadowy corner, eating glowing popcorn):
"Uh-oh… it's waking up.
Told ya this blade wasn't ordinary. I didn't get bored and hand him a toy.
This came directly from the AUTHOR. Yep. You heard me."
Suddenly, the room filled with intense energy.
Aeron's eyes widened.
The sword hovered in front of him, vibrating with energy.
A whisper echoed in his mind:
"Chosen… Awaken me completely… or be consumed…"

A Vision Begins
Aeron was pulled into a vision—an ancient battlefield where worlds clashed. At the center of it all stood a glowing figure wielding the same sword.
It sliced through space itself, sealing gods, cracking moons, and absorbing stars. But then… it was sealed, its wielder vanishing from history.
The vision ended. Aeron dropped to his knees, sweating.
Aeron (panting):
"This sword… it's not just a weapon. It's alive."

Az Turns to the Readers:
"Okay folks, now it's getting spicy.
Our sword? Its name's still a mystery. But soon, you'll see why even the multiverse trembled when it last appeared.
But hey, let's not tell Aeron that. Let the boy sleep."
He looks at Aeron, who's passed out with the sword pulsing beside him.
Az (whispering):
"Sleep tight, hero. Tomorrow, your fate sharpens."
