"Some realms don't kill you. They make you question if you were ever alive."
— Vaelin Marr, Sixth of the Seven
Scene 1: Entering the Gate
The Five step into the breach.
For a moment — nothing.
Then everything folds.
Color vanishes. Gravity forgets. Time blinks.
Each of them vanishes, scattered across a realm with no anchor, no order, no logic.
Kaien: "No…"
His voice is swallowed.
Scene 2: Kaien's Realm — The Unforgiving Crown
Kaien lands in a dark throne room — alone.
Except… he's not.
There's a man sitting on the throne.
It's him.
But older. Cold. Eyes glowing white.
A crown of ash on his head.
"You could've ruled everything," the version says.
"Why did you choose mercy?"
Kaien: "Because I chose people."
They clash.
Voidflame vs Crownflame.
The version fights with brutality. No restraint. No love.
Kaien wins — not by overpowering…
…but by refusing to land the final blow.
The crown crumbles.
Scene 3: Olivia's Realm — The Voice of Rahul
Olivia awakens in a field of dead stars.
A voice sings.
It's Rahul's.
Not him. But something using him.
"They made me a legend. Now I'll make you a myth."
A creature formed from shadow and melody steps forward — part memory, part nightmare.
"You are the counterweight. But are you willing to be the chain?"
Olivia hums the same note from her pendant.
It stuns the creature.
She whispers:
"I'm not your balance. I'm my own."
Light erupts. The creature vanishes. The stars breathe again.
Scene 4: Aeyra's Realm — The Timeline That Kills Her
Aeyra lands in a broken corridor.
Time flickers around her.
She sees Kaien dying.
Over.
And over.
And over.
And herself — always too late.
She collapses. Screams.
Then hears Kaien's voice — a memory.
"You don't have to save me. Just believe I'll make it."
She stands.
Eyes glowing silver.
She crushes the timeline shard under her boot.
"We make our own ending."
Scene 5: Valenya's Realm — The Chain She Almost Wore
She walks through a royal hall.
Her armor gone.
Cloaked. Bound. Kneeling before a false emperor.
Chains glow with the seal of House Vordrakar.
"Kneel to save him," the illusion says.
"Or resist and let him die."
She stands slowly.
Voice steady.
"I don't kneel."
She draws a blade of light — one Kaien forged in childhood for her — and slices through the illusion.
Scene 6: Aren's Realm — The Lone Genius
He's alone.
Everyone's dead. Aeyra's goggles. Valenya's broken sword. Olivia's pendant. Kaien's cloak.
"This is the world when you survive," a machine voice says.
"Is that what you wanted?"
Aren clenches his fists.
"No."
He reprograms the reality with his tech.
Alters the equation.
And reboots his timeline.
The world resets — and they all live again.
"I don't want to be the only one alive."
Final Scene: The Center Pulls Them Back
Suddenly — a tremor.
The realms begin to collapse.
Each of the Five, having passed their personal trial, is pulled toward a glowing nexus.
They fall into one another — gasping, blinking, but together.
Kaien catches Olivia.
Valenya steadies Aeyra.
Aren is crying — and doesn't hide it.
The realm groans.
A door of light appears before them.
Carved on it:
"What comes next… rewrites everything."
NO MAP, NO RULES, NO MERCY.
You've crossed into the unknown.
What lies beyond the gate… was never supposed to be seen.
Even Rahul, undefeated and unstoppable, locked it away.
Now the Five walk in — and the gate doesn't welcome them.
It devours them.
