Chapter 90 - The Weight of Truth & The Whisper of Veleor

🌒 Chapter 90

"Before you become a hero or a villain, you become something far more dangerous… aware."

⚖️ Scene 1: Chains of Silence

Aeren opened his eyes slowly, blinking away the blur.

He was no longer on the battlefield.Instead, he found himself inside a sealed chamber beneath Sinjai Academy.

A containment field of glowing blue runes floated around his body.His wrists were bound—not by force, but by Soul Chains, designed to suppress powers gently without causing harm.

His powers were sealed.His heart was quiet.But his mind was loud.

In front of him stood Seris, her expression unreadable.Beside her, Anshi stood silently, her eyes red from crying.

"You're awake," Seris said calmly."We sealed you temporarily… to save you from yourself."

Aeren remained silent.

"Do you remember what happened?" Anshi asked softly.

He nodded slowly.

"I… remember almost everything now."

🧠 Scene 2: The Voice Returns

As they spoke, Aeren's eyes drifted to the shadows of the chamber.

There, in the silence of his thoughts, a voice whispered—not loud, but familiar.

"You remember me now, don't you…?"

Aeren closed his eyes.

Standing before him in his mind's eye was Veleor—his past self, cloaked in flowing time-threads and a crown of broken hours.

"I'm not your enemy, Aeren. I'm your memory. Your truth.And if you ignore me… this world dies again."

Aeren's lips barely moved.

"You destroyed the world.""No," Veleor said. "I tried to save it… and I failed.But you—you can do what I couldn't."

📜 Scene 3: Seris's Revelation

Back in the physical world, Seris held up a scroll.

"This was retrieved from the Crimson Library fragments…It's a prophecy. One we long thought lost."

She unrolled it.

It read:

"When the Heart of Time bleeds and the False God rises…One bearer shall choose between a shattered world and a rewritten fate."

"The 'False God'… it's not Elarian," she said quietly."It's something older. Something buried beneath this world.And the Heart—you—are the only one who can reach it."

Aeren looked at her.

"Then why seal me?"

Seris looked down.

"Because… if you awaken too fast, the Crimson Heart will consume your soul."

🕳️ Scene 4: Aeren's Decision

After a long pause, Aeren stood—even within the soul-binding field, he was regaining control.

"I don't need full power to prepare.Just time."

He turned to Anshi, offering a faint smile.

"You stopped me again. Thank you."

She didn't smile back—just stepped forward and hugged him.

"Next time, I may not be strong enough…"

He whispered:

"Then I'll be strong enough for both of us."

🧿 Scene 5: Elsewhere – The False God Awakens

Far beneath the forgotten continent of Vael'dran, inside a temple carved from bone and crystal, a dark eye opened.

A voice echoed into the void:

"The Heart is awake.So must be the Judge."

A towering figure—chained to a celestial altar—opened its mouth.

"Let the world remember…why the gods feared me."
