— Training Cliffs — Phoenix Guild
The wind howled, lashing against the jagged cliffs.Diana Flamesoul paced back and forth, eyes fixed on the horizon, her mind still haunted by what she had seen during training — the crimson lightning, the roar of aura, and that voice that could not belong to any human.
The air itself felt heavier now. Denser. Charged.
She stopped, took out her communicator, and whispered:
"Master Ray... I need to speak with you. It's about Inavy."
A thunderclap split the sky.Blinding light struck the ground — and from it emerged Ray Stormbreak.Calm. Commanding. His gaze serene, yet brimming with power.
"You're worried about him?" he asked plainly.
"Yes. He said his power was... talking to him."Diana clenched her fists."And those lightning bolts, Ray... they weren't normal. What's happening to him?"
Ray stood silent for a moment, staring at the sea beyond. Then he exhaled deeply.
"Diana... have you ever wondered why no one else can lift Inavy's sword?"
She frowned.
"Of course. It's like it has a will of its own. Heavy... and it burns when touched."
"Exactly."Ray crossed his arms."That sword isn't ordinary. It recognizes only one master. Lorien already knows... but it's time you do too."
Diana's eyes narrowed.Ray turned to her, his tone serious — almost sorrowful.
"Inavy isn't my biological son."
Her heart skipped a beat.
"What...?"
Ray's voice remained steady.
"He's the son of my sister, Mary... and Julio — the former king of Nionderland."
Diana's eyes widened.
"Nionderland... the lost kingdom? That's just a legend."
Ray nodded.
"Legends always begin somewhere. Inavy is heir to that kingdom.But more than that... he carries the original power within him — Chaos."
"Chaos…?" Diana gave a nervous laugh."That's just a myth. A bedtime story to scare apprentices."
Ray smirked faintly.
"So was Divine Light... until Lorien and Darius started wielding it with ease."
"Darius manipulates space too," she muttered.
"Exactly. None of them are ordinary. The world thinks these powers are myths, but they were born to shatter that belief."
Ray stepped closer, thunder echoing faintly in his voice.
"Within Inavy sleeps an ancient presence... the first king — Nion.A warrior who shaped the world before the world had a name.And now, he stirs again through the boy's blood."
Diana stood frozen.
"Then... the voice he heard... that was Nion?"
Ray nodded slowly.
"Yes. The seal that binds him is weakening. Chaos is starting to move.But he's still just a boy — unaware of the burden he carries."
"Why?"
"Because he was chosen."
"Chosen for what?" she asked, almost afraid to know.
Ray looked up at the storm-dark sky.
"To defeat Tyrus."
The name hit like a thunderclap.Diana covered her mouth.
"Then the dream... the lightning... the loss of control—"
"All signs of the seal reacting. It's opening."
Ray placed a firm hand on her shoulder.
"To the world, Inavy is my son. And to me... he is.But what lives inside him could either save or destroy this planet.That's why you and Lorien must keep this secret. Not even Kelvin can know."
Diana inhaled deeply.
"I understand. I swear... I'll protect him, Master. With my life if I must."
Ray nodded, a rare glint of pride in his eyes.
"Then I trust you, Diana Flamesoul."
Lightning flashed behind him — and in the blink of an eye, he vanished.The wind howled once more.And the secret now weighed inside Diana's chest like a storm caged in silence.
Vision — Inavy's Dream
Darkness.Smoke.Screams.
Inavy walked through a ruined city.The cracked ground spat fire. The sky gaped open like a wound, bleeding thunder.Bodies littered the streets — twisted shadows of what once were people, torn apart by light itself.
In the distance, a lone figure moved among the ruins.A black sword sliced through the air — each swing bending space itself.Graceful. Deadly.
With every strike, the ground shook.
Inavy stepped back, heart pounding.He knew that stance... that energy... that sword.
It was his.
The figure turned.Red eyes pierced through the dust.The face was a blur — formless, unseeable — yet unmistakably familiar.
The figure raised its blade, pointing directly at him.
"You're close, boy... so close."
Thunder roared — and the world crumbled to ash.
Phoenix Guild — Courtyard
Inavy jolted awake.Sweat dripped down his face, his heart racing.The world spun around him.
"Who... was that?" he whispered. "That power... it was the same…"
He glanced around. He was sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard. The morning sun had already risen.For a moment, he thought he was still dreaming.
Then something cold touched his cheek.
"AH!"
It was a cup of chilled fruit tea.
"Relax, drama boy," said Rose, raising a brow."You've been staring into space for like ten minutes. Darius has been talking nonstop and you didn't even blink. That's not normal."
Inavy sighed, taking the cup.
"Just... thinking."
Rose crossed her arms, smirking.
"Thinking? That's new."
But her eyes betrayed real concern.
From a distance, Diana watched silently.Her faint smile hid the storm within — Ray's words still echoing in her mind:
"Protect this secret with your life."
Inavy looked up at the sky, distracted.The wind picked up — and for an instant, he heard it again.A deep, familiar voice.
"Not yet, boy."
He shivered. But when he looked around, no one else seemed to hear it.
"You okay?" Rose asked.
"Yeah. Just... a chill."
"Maybe you're hungry," said Darius, appearing out of nowhere."Speaking of which — ice cream shop! Triple-scoop special today!"
Inavy raised a brow.
"You're rich. Why do you care about discounts?"
"If I spend less, I can buy more!"
Rose sighed.
"That makes absolutely no sense."
"And yet," Diana said softly, smiling, "it's so very Darius."
The three of them laughed, the tension fading for a moment.For a brief instant, the world felt peaceful again.
Tyrus' Domain
A throne floated in the void.Before it stood a figure cloaked in shadows — Tyrus, the Sovereign of Ruin.
His crimson gaze pierced through a vortex of energy, watching images of two young men — Kelvin Nox and Inavy Stormbreak.
A cold smile curved his lips.
"Prepare yourselves, little heroes…"
He raised his hand, and the surrounding darkness trembled in reverence.
"My son... Kelvin.And you... heir of Chaos...Soon, you will both kneel before true power."
The void shook.The darkness spoke.And for the first time in ages — Chaos answered.
