⚔️ Scene 1 – Beneath the Flame
The priest and Cassia stood in stunned silence.
Kael rose from the Flame of Remembrance, every thread of his past burned into his veins.
No longer just a rewritten soul — but a carrier of all erased timelines.
And in that moment, the air cracked.
His back burned.
> "It's calling," Kael muttered. "It wants out."
Cassia took a step back.
> "What does?"
Kael turned.
And the black sheath on his back — long sealed, always silent — began to hiss.
Ashmourne was waking.

🔥 Scene 2 – The Cursed Blade Breathes
Smoke spiraled around him.
The sheath split apart on its own — like it had waited centuries for permission.
Out of it slid a blade that bled shadows.
Not steel.
Not magic.
Something older.
Something alive.
The priest whispered, trembling:
> "Ashmourne… the Sword of the Unwritten Flame."
The blade pulsed once.
Kael felt it sink into him — like a lost limb reattaching.
And then…
> It spoke.
---
💀 Scene 3 – Voice of the Sword
Not in words.
But in visions.
A battlefield covered in ash.
Children chanting forgotten names.
A god screaming as his throne melted.
A boy — Kael — dying again and again,
and the blade watching it all.
> "You are me," the blade whispered in his head,
"and I am your unspoken scream."
Kael gripped it.
For the first time…
he felt whole.
---
🩸 Scene 4 – The Vow of Ash
The priest bowed low.
> "Now you must choose. Ashmourne requires a vow.
Once drawn in full, it cannot return to its sheath
until it tastes truth… or blood."
Kael closed his eyes.
He raised the blade high.
And declared:
> "By all the lives they erased…
By every child I was forced to become…
I vow to never forget.
And to make the gods remember."
Ashmourne roared in flame — not red, but black-violet,
and carved Kael's name into the air:
> "Kael'Thoros Vex, Flame of Unmaking."
---
🧠 Scene 5 – Blade's Gift
Ashmourne whispered again.
This time, it gave him something:
> Sight beyond systems.
Kael could now see not just people — but their rewritten truths.
He looked at Cassia.
And saw her real name —
the one she'd forgotten since childhood.
He looked at the priest.
And saw the chains the gods still wrapped around his memory.
> "I can see it all now," Kael said. "The edits. The lies. The divine fingerprints."
Ashmourne pulsed again.
It was ready.
So was he.
---
🌌 Scene 6 – The First Target
A flash of divine light appeared in the sky.
An Archdivine was descending —
A judgment warden sent to execute Kael before the rewrite spread further.
The ground shook as the figure landed — armored in silver, wings of scripture, blade of holy fire.
> "You are not a soul. You are an infection."
Kael stepped forward.
Ashmourne burned.
> "I am every soul you tried to delete."
---
⚔️ Scene 7 – First Divine Kill
The Archdivine rushed in.
A blow of light descended.
Kael didn't dodge.
He parried.
Ashmourne sliced through holy flame like butter.
The Archdivine staggered — surprised.
Kael whispered:
> "Remember this."
And struck once — cleanly.
The divine's armor shattered.
Light bled from his eyes.
And the last thing he saw was his own forgotten sin being reflected in Ashmourne's blade.
Then — he fell.
A god had died.
