The world had changed overnight.The Blood Sky grew darker, heavier — and through the wind echoed a single whisper:
"The Ash Legion… has returned."
🌑 Scene 1: Drak and the Old Gods
Deep beneath the Temple of Ashes, Drak walked through endless shadows.The walls were covered in glowing runes — each one a death story carved by fate.
Zeira appeared again, floating above shattered statues.Her voice was soft, haunting.
"You can't fight destiny, Drak. You are the curse."
Drak's eyes burned black as night."I'm not the curse… I'm its end."
A thunderous roar echoed through the temple — Vorn emerged, his metal fists glowing red-hot.
"You left us to die in the Shadow War," he growled."Now face what you created!"
⚔️ Impact.Vorn's fist crashed forward — Drak caught it with one hand, fire bursting between them.
"I never wanted to kill anyone… but you're forcing me to remember who I was."
Vorn grinned fiercely."Good. I want to fight the Drak who never feared death!"
They clashed — dark flames against iron fury.The temple shattered around them, runes exploding into black smoke.Zeira vanished into the chaos, while Lyra's voice echoed through the ruins:
"Each fight you win brings Nxoz closer… and your curse deeper."
Drak froze mid-battle."Lyra… tell me. Who truly cursed me?"
Lyra lifted her blind eyes, faintly glowing blue.
"You did."
🔥 Scene 2: Nxoz's Training — The Blood Forge
Far beyond the Red Forest, Nxoz trained in a ruined wasteland under Rynn's watch.His body was breaking under the weight of Blood Magic, but his will — sharper than ever.
Rynn hurled a dagger at him."Focus, Nxoz! Blood isn't your weapon… it's your reflection."
Nxoz caught it, red lightning flaring around his arm."Reflection… means pain."
Rynn smirked."Exactly. Control the pain — and you control the world."
She handed him an ancient scroll — The Sigil of Crimson Time."This is your test. Unlock it, and you'll be equal to Drak… or greater."
Nxoz closed his eyes.Time slowed.Flashbacks — his burning village, his mother's scream, Drak's shadow over fire.
A single tear fell — glowing red.From that tear, power erupted.
His new ability was born: Blood Rift — the power to slice through time itself.
⚡ Scene 3: The Ash Legion Awakens
Back at the ruins, Zeira stood atop a mountain of skulls.Her whisper slithered through the wind.
"Rise, my legion of ashes…"
The ground split open.Thousands of demonic corpses opened their eyes.Ash turned to flesh, screams became war cries —and from death, the Ash Legion was reborn.
Rynn sensed the surge. Her face darkened."They're coming. The Ash Legion doesn't stop… until the world is nothing but dust."
Nxoz gripped his katana, Crimson Vein, blood dripping from the blade."Then let them come. I've run enough."
Far away, beneath the burning sky, Drak looked up.For the first time in centuries… he smiled.
"So it begins again… Blood against Blood."
