Scene 1 — Approaching the Entity
The city streets are empty, but the air vibrates with unseen tension. Kylori Meykami Genesis moves like a shadow himself, footsteps silent but impossible to miss.
Ahead, the anchor entity stirs. Its form is colossal, fluid, and constantly shifting—an amalgamation of jagged voids and glowing fissures. Its presence distorts the very air, bending reality slightly around it.
The Devourer Shades ripple at Kylori's command, spreading outward to gauge its reactions. Echo Shades mirror his movements subtly, creating duplicates that test the entity's awareness.
Kylori's white eyes glimmer faintly, a soft, dangerous light. He tilts his head, calm, assessing.
> "So… you've grown bold," he whispers.
"I like that."
The anchor entity responds—not with movement, but with perception. Its awareness presses against Kylori's, probing, testing.

Scene 2 — First Contact
Kylori stops a few dozen meters away, letting the entity observe him. He doesn't attack first.
> "Do you understand who stands before you?"
The entity quivers, then slowly shifts closer, as if measuring Kylori's strength. The Aetherial Wraiths form a subtle perimeter around him, silent, stoic.
Even the Umbral Lurkers twitch in anticipation, sensing the rising tension.
> "Curiosity… dangerous, yet necessary," Kylori murmurs.
Then, without warning, he smiles fully—a rare, open display. His eyes flare white, pure light reflecting off the entity's jagged surface.
The anchor entity recoils slightly, surprised by the sheer magnitude of presence. For a fleeting second, even the anchored horrors within it hesitate.

Scene 3 — The Collection Begins
Kylori raises his hand. Shadows coil, writhe, and extend outward.
> "Let's see what you've survived… and what you've been hiding."
The entity shifts, trying to resist, but the shadows are no ordinary tendrils. Each is a fragment of Kylori's will, a sentient extension of his power. Devourer Shades leap forward, biting, enveloping, binding. Aetherial Wraiths slice and prod, probing weaknesses.
The entity struggles, but Kylori's gaze is unrelenting, his white eyes scanning, calculating, claiming.
> "Pleasure lies in the hunt," he whispers, voice calm and chilling.
"And you… will teach me much."
Slowly, inexorably, the anchor entity begins to fold into the shadows around Kylori—resistance futile. Soulbound Horrors stabilize its form, keeping it conscious but completely contained.

Scene 4 — The Aftermath (Foreshadowing)
The city remains silent. The ambient hum of eldritch energy grows faint.
Kylori stands alone—or nearly alone, as the creatures that obey him shrink back into the shadows around him. The anchor entity is now part of his collection, fully controlled yet aware, its immense power harnessed.
> "Curiosity is… expensive," Kylori murmurs softly.
"But worth every moment."
For a moment, the world is calm. But beneath the surface, even the air shivers, whispering warnings.
Akira, oblivious to the scope of what just occurred, will have to learn soon: Kylori Meykami Genesis is far beyond any comprehension—and the universe itself bends quietly around him.
