Location: Elementa Assembly Tower — the oldest magical diplomatic center in the world.
Today, for the first time in nearly a century, all major magical factions convened: the High Elven Court, Magitek Guild, Spiritwalker Federation, The Timeless Race, and Aerthalia Academy.
And at the center of the vast chamber stood Angeline Ceu — the Void Heir, daughter of a feline demi-human race, and the eye of the storm known as Fractura.

🔊 The Assembly Begins
A delegate from the Federation opened the session:
> “Angeline Ceu. You are summoned not as a criminal, but as a knot of fate.You are not the perpetrator… but perhaps the cause.Today, we listen to your voice.”
The hall fell silent. Angeline stepped forward — steady, yet calm.Behind her stood Myra, Real, and Vice Headmaster Calhoun.

💬 Angeline Speaks
> “I never asked to be born with Voidstep.I don’t know why I was chosen — or left behind.”
> “But what I do know… is that I can choose.To use this power to close the rifts, not widen them.To protect, not destroy.”
> “And if this world fears me more than those stealing its shadows…Then I will not run.”
The faces around her were unreadable.Some were in awe.Some were doubtful.Some... were afraid.

⚖️ Arguments For and Against
Magitek Guild: in favor of Angeline — she’s the only one capable of surviving in non-magic zones.
High Elven Court: neutral — awaiting stronger proof that Void can be controlled.
Spiritwalker Federation: opposed — they believe Fractura is a consequence of an unstable Void Heir.
The Timeless Race: remained silent — their eyes on Angeline, documenting everything with a chronodevice spinning backward.

⚠️ Interruption: New Evidence
As tensions rose, Myra interrupted:
> “We found this in Vireth — remnants of an ancient Void circle.Not from Umbra Concordia.”
She held up the Voidstone Angeline had recovered.When placed at the center of the chamber, it began to tremble… and emitted a disembodied voice:
> “You think this is destruction?”“This is just... a repetition.”
The eerie presence shook the hall.Magical wards activated instantly.

🧠 A New Understanding: Fractura is a Cycle, Not an Attack
Real stepped forward:
> “Maybe… we’ve been wrong this whole time.Fractura wasn’t caused by Angeline.It’s being restarted through her.”
> “Void is not a curse.It’s the world’s emergency response system —triggered when too many rifts are opened through greed.”

🔚 End of Chapter
The session was not yet concluded.No judgment was passed.But something had shifted — some now began to see Angeline not as a cause, but as a warning… and a key.
And as they returned to Aerthalia, Angeline looked up to the sky and whispered:
> “If I am a cycle…Then I’ll be the first to break it.”
