🏛️ Scene: The Pillars of The Sky – Divine Tribunal Grounds
A floating temple above the clouds.Golden marble platforms.A coliseum of gods, saints, angels, archmages, holy knights, and the world's most powerful figures.
In the center—A circular judgment ring, glowing with divine law.
Kaien stood alone inside it.
Bound by chains of light.Unflinching. Unbowed. Unapologetic.
👑 Irelia Appears
She descended in flame and silk, radiating power.
Eyes silver. Wings burning.Goddess of Flame. Judge of Souls.And Kaien's enemy.
"Kaien Everflame.You stand accused of defying your summoning fate, stealing divine power, resisting holy orders, and corrupting others with your Crest."
"Do you deny these charges?"
Kaien smiled.
"No."
The crowd gasped.
Kaien's voice echoed:
"I confirm them.Because every one of those actions saved lives."
⚖️ The Tribunal Members Speak
Arch-Saint Velros: "He's an abomination. We should burn him now."
High Seer Aelrin: "His crest should not exist. And yet, it evolves."
Queen Velyra of the Moon Court: "And if he's the first of more? We fear what we don't understand."
Knight Commander Thorne: "He fights like a god. But he protects like a man."
⚔️ Marcus Interrupts the Trial
Marcus teleported into the chamber.Broke divine law. Didn't care.
"If he goes down, I go down.You summoned me too. You just didn't expect me to choose him."
The tribunal turned chaotic.
Kaien: "This is what scares you, huh?Not a weapon. Not a traitor.But a man who made his own path."
💢 Twist – They Call a "Witness"
The gods unveil a hooded figure…Chained.Scarred.
It's Zarek.The corrupted hero Kaien defeated.
His body is shattered, but his mind?
Still poisoned.
"He… is a threat to everything sacred."
Irelia: "You corrupted him."
Kaien: "No. You did. You broke him trying to force him to be perfect."
🌪️ Final Warning
Irelia's wings flared wide.
"Then you leave us no choice."
"You will face the Final Verdict."
The floor beneath Kaien lit up—
Trial by Divine Combat.
The entire platform shifted.
"You will fight the Three Hands of Judgement.If you survive, your fate is yours.If not, your flame ends here."
Kaien rolled his neck.
"Finally. Something fun."
🔥 Final Scene – Seris & Lyra Reaction
From the crowd, Seris stood.
Lyra beside her. Both proud. Both furious.
Seris: "They think he's alone."
Lyra: "They're about to find out he never was."
