Chapter 44 - Chapter 44 — The Proof

🎬 Scene: The Throne Hall of Nionderland[The Queen slowly rises from her throne and steps toward Inavy. The entire hall falls into reverent silence.]

Queen(gazing into his eyes):— "You have... Julius's eyes. Don't tell me you are..." (her voice trembling)— "My grandson?"

Inavy(swallowing hard, respectful):— "Yes… My name is Inavy Stormbreak. I'm the son of Julius and Mary."

🎭 Shock and Reverence[The hall erupts in murmurs. Some elders fall to their knees. Guards raise their fists to their hearts. A deep reverberation of ancient awe.]

"The Heir has returned…""The Child of Chaos… stands among us.""The prophecy… is real."

Queen(kneeling, holding his hand):— "My grandson… You've returned at the right time. War is coming."

📸 Final Frame[The camera pulls away, showing the hall buzzing — with fear, hope, and reverence. Inavy remains still at the center, a linen bracelet on his wrist glowing faintly.]

Narrator(Ray's voice, in a distant echo):— "There… he will discover the truth of Nion, of Chaos… and of himself."

🎬 Scene: The Crown Hall – The Heir Challenged

[The warmth of the reunion is shattered as a group of elders clad in dark robes rises. Their garments bear ancient symbols. One of them steps forward, the tip of his staff echoing with every strike on the ground.]

🗡️ The Council's Objection

Elder 1(cold voice):— "This is an insult to the throne and to Nionderland's sacred laws!"

Elder 2:— "He is not merely Julius's son…He is the result of a forbidden union.With an outsider."

Elder 3(disdainfully):— "And worse… the boy is Chaos incarnate.The same power that destroyed worlds.How dare we call him heir?How dare we call him savior?"

👑 The Queen Intervenes

Queen(firm, yet sorrowful):— "Enough!His blood is that of Julius.He is my grandson."

Elder 1:— "Blood proves nothing.And no legend has yet been fulfilled.Where is the proof that he is the bearer of Chaos?"

🧬 Zack Steps Forward

[Silence falls again as Zack steps forward. From a hidden compartment in his suit, he draws a sealed object.]

Zack(steady voice):— "You want proof?Then witness…"

[He lifts a small box wrapped in glowing seals and carved with ancient characters from Yon's era.]

Zack:— "This box was left for the true heir.Sealed by Nion with his own blood.Only the bearer of Chaos can open what lies within…"

[Zack places the box in the center of the hall. Whispers echo among the elders. Guards grow tense. Zack turns to Inavy.]

🔥 The Trial of Truth

Zack(locking eyes with him):— "Inavy Stormbreak…If you are truly the chosen one…Touch the box.Claim the Blade of Chaos."

[A still, breathless moment.]

[Inavy steps forward. His eyes scan his friends — Diana, Darius, Rose — all watching, trusting. The Queen's gaze trembles.]

[He touches the box.]

🌌 Revelation

[The seals burst into crimson and black light. A deep resonance hums through the hall. The box opens on its own. Inside: the true form of the Blade of Chaos, distorting the very air around it.]

[Inavy extends his hand. The blade levitates — responding to him alone. The moment he grasps it, a blazing circle of Chaos energy ignites beneath his feet.His eyes flash red.The ancient seal on the blade shatters.]

Inavy(calm but resolute):— "Still think… I'm not the Heir?"

[Utter silence.]

[Some elders collapse to their knees. Others are stunned, speechless.The Queen weeps silently.]

Queen(kneeling once more):— "You…truly are the bearer.The Heir of Chaos.And my grandson."
