The training grounds of the Guild of the Thousand Lights were buzzing with activity. Lightning slashed through the air as Ron Stormbreak exchanged blows with none other than Lorien Valtier, the legendary leader of the guild.
Lorien blocked an electric strike with a simple flick of his wrist.— "Not bad for a rookie..." he said with a teasing smile, "...but to carry the Stormbreak name, you'll need more than that."
Ron took a deep breath. His eyes gleamed.— "Then take this, Lorien-sensei!"He leapt back and summoned a small dagger made of pure electricity.
— "Heavenly Chain!" he shouted.
The dagger flew, struck its target, and immediately electric chains formed in the air, wrapping around Lorien like glowing serpents. His aura flickered for a brief moment.
Lorien smiled. His eyes shone brightly.— "Not bad... you actually made me use this."With a golden flash, his Primordial Light Aura burst outward, shattering the chains like strands of cotton.
— "Seraph's Gaze... if it were anyone else, they'd be fried. Well done, kid."
They both paused to drink some water.
Ron, still sweating, took a deep breath.— "Sensei... in a fight between you and Tyrus... who would win?"
Lorien wiped his face with a towel and smiled with that classic, radiant arrogance only he possessed.— "He'd give me a hell of a fight, not gonna lie..."Then he pointed to himself with his thumb.— "But I'd win."
On the other side of reality, in a dimension shrouded in darkness, Tyrus watched through the Mirror of Fate. His laughter echoed like distant thunder.
— "Heh... It wouldn't be the first time I've killed a bearer of Light."His red eyes glowed with fury.— "Lorien Valtier... you will be the first to fall in this war. By my hand."
Meanwhile, in Nionderland, Inavy Stormbreak sat watching the sunset. The clouds, tinged with gold, reminded him of past glory… and painful loss.
The voice of Nion, deep inside his mind, spoke firmly.
— "Kid, you've gotten stronger… but Tyrus now holds the most powerful weapon in the universe: the Spear of Destiny."His deep voice grew heavier with each word.— "So, tell me… how do you plan to stop him?"
Inavy clenched his fists. His crimson eyes reflected the sunset.
— "I'll break every one of my limits..."He stood up.— "Even if Tyrus holds the power of the universe... I'll defeat him, Nion."
— "Hmm. Interesting."The voice replied with a hint of approval.— "But be careful... he's a snake. And he knows exactly how to hurt you humans. He always strikes where it hurts the most."
Inavy gritted his teeth.— "Ray's blood is on his hands."A tear ran down his face, but his expression stayed firm.— "He took everything from me: my parents, my family... my friends."He took a deep breath and looked to the sky.— "Nion, let's do this together. For me. For Ray. For humanity... for the Stormbreaks."— "Let's defeat Tyrus... together."
For a moment, Nion remained silent. Then, from within the shadows, he smiled.
— "You... you get more interesting by the day, Stormbreak boy."
The scene faded to black, ending yet another chapter in the legacy of hero.
