There are truths so dangerous,
that the gods sealed them in time.
But today — truth takes the stage.
And Aedric is the fire that sets the broadcast tower ablaze.

🌐 Across the Realms
A strange red glow appeared in every kingdom.
In temples, cathedrals, academies, war camps…
Flames flickered across mirrors, water, and even shadows.
And from those flames, a voice echoed:
> "They burned me for what I remembered."
> "Now you will remember too."
---
The image formed — Aedric Valtoris.
Standing in the Vault of Forgotten Flame, holding a burning scroll.
> "This is the truth they erased."

📺 The Broadcast Begins
The flame projected visions — raw, uncut memories stored in the scrolls Aedric had uncovered:
The gods branding innocent souls
The Silence devouring names
Divine scribes altering history to favor the Pantheon
Aedric's real execution — ordered not for crime, but for questioning divine control
People gasped.
Priests collapsed in terror.
Children watched in silence.
Kings dropped to their knees.
> "How long have we obeyed lies?" whispered one mage.
> "What if we are not meant to serve?" said another.

In the Throne City of Ardath, the High King shattered his god-seal.
In the desert kingdoms, flames appeared in the sand — forming Aedric's name.

📹 Live Interruption — Caelen Appears
Suddenly, the flame shimmered.
Another figure appeared.
Golden robe.
Hair like frozen sunlight.
Voice calm as poison.
Caelen Valtoris.
He smiled into the flames.
> "My brother… speaks well."
> "But he forgets what he became."
He raised a hand.
A projection began.
A twisted memory — edited.
Aedric burning cities
Innocents screaming
Flame spiraling into madness
It was a lie.
But it looked real.

💥 Memory War Begins
> "He would have you burn the gods," Caelen said.
> "Then the kings."
> "Then each other."
He smiled softly.
> "He is not a hero."
> "He is what comes after hope dies."

🔥 Aedric Fights Back
Aedric's flame roared.
Lyara stood beside him, bleeding from her Eye, but burning with resolve.
> "They've altered memories before," she whispered.
> "But you are Storytouched. Burn the lie."
Aedric held his flame high.
> "You used to tell bedtime stories, Caelen."
> "Now you lie to the world."
> "But I will light every shadow you cast."
---
He ignited the sky.
And the true scroll — unedited — unfurled before the realms.
The crowd saw both versions.
And they began to question.
Not just Caelen.
But the gods.

🧬 New Title Unlocked
The glyph on Aedric's palm pulsed.
A whisper echoed across the Ashborn army.
> "New title acquired: Flame of Revelation."
> "You are now the bearer of truth against divine narrative."

👁 Final Scene – The Masked God Watches
From the Void Observatory, the Masked God watched the chaos unfold.
> "He speaks truth."
> "But the world doesn't want truth."
> "It wants comfort."
Caelen stood beside him.
> "Let them choose, then."
> "And when they fall into confusion… I will be the only answer."
