Darkness. Cold. A Field of Ash.
Selene stood barefoot in a crumbling version of the academy courtyard — but it was twisted. Frozen. Empty.
The sky cracked like glass above her.
The walls bled shadow.
This wasn't reality.
It was his pain.
[System Notification: First Gate — "The Night He Chose the Crown."]
Ahead, she saw a young Kaelion on his knees.
Begging the Emperor.
"Please. Spare her. I'll do anything. I'll even—"
The Emperor's voice cut through.
"Then kill her yourself. That is the cost of the throne."
Kaelion's younger self wept into bloodied hands.
Selene gasped.
He never wanted the crown… He traded love for power.
The world twisted again.
Second Gate — The Blade of Regret
Now she stood at the execution platform.
But this time, Kaelion was in chains.
And she was the one holding the sword.
Her hands shook.
"You deserve to die for what you did," a phantom version of her said beside her.
Selene dropped the blade.
"No," she said, shaking. "He deserves to live… to choose again."
[System Alert: Emotional Barrier Shattered. Soul Link Rekindled. One Gate Remains.]
Final Gate — The Memory He Hid
A quiet bedroom.
Kaelion stood at the window, watching the stars.
Selene walked toward him slowly.
He didn't see her.
But he whispered: "If I had one more chance… I'd ask her to stay."
She reached out—touched his shoulder—
And he turned.
"Selene," he said, voice cracking. "Don't leave me again."
The memory-world exploded into white light—
And Selene awoke on the altar, gasping.
Kaelion lay beside her.
Alive.
Eyes fluttering open.
Breathing shallow.
