Chapter 1

Ushinawareta Yogen no Saigo no Eiyū
The Last Hero of the Lost Prophecy
Tokyo, Japan – 2005
9:30 p.m.
The city is covered by cold rain. Neon lights flicker. On a forgotten street, a five-year-old boy returns home with a few coins in his hand… unaware that tonight, he will become legend.

Scen: “The night he lost everything”

SCENE – Arriving home
The boy walks barefoot along the wet sidewalk.
His clothes are soaked.
The coins jingle in his trembling hand.
His body shivers, but his heart still longs for affection.

Protagonist (weak voice) –
“Mommy… I’m home… I managed to get some coins…”
(He extends his hand with innocence)

SCENE – The rejection
The door bursts open.
A woman with a hardened face looks at him with disgust.
Her gaze is not that of a mother.
It’s hatred.

Mother (shouting) –
“Only this?! You’re useless!”

Without mercy, she hits him.
Punches.
Slaps.
The boy shields himself with his tiny hands.
His small body curls up.
The rain soaks him.
Blood mixes with water.

Protagonist (crying silently) –
“I’m sorry… I tried…”

SCENE – The abandonment
The mother stops.
She breathes furiously.
She grabs the three-year-old girl by the arm.
The little one cries.
She doesn’t understand.

Mother (shouting) –
“You and your sister are worthless! Get out of my house!”

She pushes them into the street.
The door slams shut.
The sound of the slam is louder than the thunder.

SCENE – In the street
The boy hugs his little sister.
His forehead bleeds.
With an old piece of cardboard, he covers her.
He protects her from the rain.
He holds her like a shield.

Protagonist (whispering) –
“Don’t worry… I’m here with you…”

Little sister (crying) –
“Big brother… I’m cold…”

They shelter in a corner.
The city continues.
No one sees them.
But someone does.

SCENE – The danger
A man approaches.
Dirty clothes.
Dark gaze.
Intentions worse than the night.

Stranger (low voice) –
“That girl… I’m taking her.
Stay out of it, brat.”

The boy stands up.
Trembling.
Bleeding.
But firm.

Protagonist (broken voice) –
“You’re not taking her!”

SCENE – The sacrifice
The man hits him brutally.
The boy falls.
He folds over.
But he doesn’t give up.
He sees a broken glass on the ground.
He grabs it with trembling hands.
He lunges.

Protagonist (screaming with all his body) –
“NO!”

First, he cuts the attacker’s calf.
The man screams in pain.
But he reacts.
He stabs the boy in the abdomen with a knife.
The child arches.
But doesn’t let go of the glass.
With one final push…
he drives it into the man’s throat.

The man falls.
Dead.
The boy… too.

SCENE – The neighbors
Lights turn on.
Doors open.
Neighbors run.
Too late.

Neighbor (shouting) –
“Call an ambulance! There’s a wounded child!”

But the boy…
no longer responds.
His hand still covers his little sister.
His body…
no longer trembles.

Little sister (crying desperately) –
“Big brother! No! Wake up!”

Narrator (voice-over, like a forgotten prophecy)
“On a corner of Tokyo, beneath the rain…
a boy died protecting his sister.
He had no sword.
No shield.
Only love.
And that… was enough.
Because heroes aren’t born in temples.
They’re born in abandonment.
And they die… without anyone remembering them.”

Ushinawareta Yogen no Saigo no Eiyū
The Last Hero of the Lost Prophecy
Tokyo, Japan – 2005
10:07 p.m.
Life fades. The body of a child lies in desperate hands. But the soul… still has something to say. And a goddess… still has something to offer.

Scene : “The second chance”

SCENE – The final breath
The doctors keep trying.
The boy’s body is covered in blood.
His forehead is open.
His chest no longer responds.
The knife was removed, but the damage… already defeated him.

Doctor 1 (low voice) –
“…Time of death: 10:07 p.m.”

Little sister (crying desperately) –
“Big brother! Wake up! Please!”

She shakes him.
She hugs him.
But nothing happens.

SCENE – The broken mother
The mother kneels.
She takes her son’s body.
She hugs him tightly.
His small body…
cold.
Lifeless.

Mother (screaming in pain) –
“Forgive me! Forgive me!
You gave your life for her… and I turned my back on you!”

Her tears fall on his face.
But he can no longer feel them.

SCENE – The crossing
Everything turns white.
Absolute silence.
The boy stands.
No wounds.
No fear.

In front of him…
a female figure.
Ceremonial dress.
Hair as long as the night.
Sad eyes.

It’s Izanami.
The goddess of death.

Izanami (soft, broken voice) –
“Little one…
I saw everything.
I felt every blow.
Every tear.
Every sacrifice.
And I cannot remain silent…”

She approaches.
Extends her hand.
But he doesn’t take it.
He hugs her.
Small.
Fragile.
But firm.

Izanami (with tears) –
“…I’m sorry.
For everything you saw.
For everything you lived.
For everything you lacked.”

SCENE – The rebirth
Izanami takes him in her arms.
She caresses his forehead.
The boy closes his eyes.
He falls asleep.

She holds him tenderly.
His body begins to glow.
It shrinks.
It transforms.
Now he is a newborn baby.
His hair turns white.
His eyelids shine.
His eyes… golden.
His skin… white, but warm.

Izanami (kissing his forehead) –
“I give you a second chance, little one.
This time… the world will see you for what you are.”

She hugs him.
And they disappear.
The world changes.

SCENE – A new dawn
Kingdom of Arathen – Royal Castle Entrance
4:12 a.m.
The moon still shines.
The sky begins to lighten.
In front of the castle gates…
a figure appears.
Izanami.
She holds the baby wrapped in a white blanket.
She places him gently.
Leaves him in a basket.
Gives him one last kiss on the forehead.
And looks at him one last time.

Izanami (whispering) –
“Your story begins here…
And this time… no one will break you.”

She disappears.
The baby sleeps.
Peaceful.
Protected.

SCENE – The discovery
A knight patrols the entrance.
He sees the basket.
Approaches.
Kneels.
Looks at the baby.

Knight (surprised) –
“A newborn?! Out here!”

He picks him up carefully.
The baby doesn’t cry.
He only sleeps.
His white hair shines under the moon.
His eyes… still closed.

Knight (urgently) –
“Notify the royals! There’s a child at the entrance!”

Narrator (voice-over, like a prophecy just beginning)
“The child died for love.
And was reborn through compassion.
His soul didn’t scream.
Didn’t ask.
Only protected.
And now…
the world will receive him as what he always was:
The last hero of the lost prophecy.”

Ushinawareta Yogen no Saigo no Eiyū
The Last Hero of the Lost Prophecy
Kingdom of Arathen – Royal Castle / Hall of Light
4:52 a.m.
An unknown baby has been brought to the heart of the kingdom. No one knows his origin. No one understands his power. But everyone feels it. Because even asleep… he is already rewriting the laws of the world.

Scene : “The awakening that broke the sky”

SCENE – The knight delivers him
The knight enters the royal hall with firm steps.
In his arms, the baby wrapped in a white blanket.
His white hair shines under the torchlight.
His sleeping face radiates a strange peace.

Knight (kneeling) –
“Majesties… I found him at the entrance.
No note.
No mark.
But… something about him is different.
The air… feels heavier near him.”

SCENE – The kings and their daughters
King Aldren and Queen Lysara approach.
Their six daughters, all eight years old, watch from behind the thrones.
Curious eyes. Absolute silence.

King Aldren (frowning) –
“A newborn… with magical presence? Impossible.”

Queen Lysara (softly) –
“No… not impossible.
But yes… prophetic.”

SCENE – The magical examination
Three high-level mages surround the baby.
Their robes float slightly from the energy they emit.
Each holds a staff with a crystal orb at the tip.
The orbs glow blue, ready to scan.

Mage 1 (firm voice) –
“Beginning vital essence reading.”

Mage 2 (focused) –
“Searching for traces of curse, soul rupture, or anomalies.”

Mage 3 (softly) –
“May the gods allow us to see what this child holds…”

They extend their staffs.
Energy begins to flow.
But suddenly…
a vibration.
A golden pulse.
From the baby’s chest.

CRACK!
The orbs shatter.
Broken crystals fly through the air.
The energy dissolves.
The mages step back, stunned.

Mage 1 (gasping) –
“What was that?!”

Mage 2 (trembling voice) –
“I’ve never… never seen magic break like that!”

Mage 3 (whispering) –
“…He… cannot be read.
Not by us.
Not by anyone.”

SCENE – The awakening
The baby moves.
His fingers stretch.
And then…
he opens his eyes.
Golden eyes. Bright. Deep.
A soft laugh. Gentle.
As if the universe weren’t so cruel.

Protagonist (soft laugh) –
“Hee…”

Everyone looks at him.
The hall falls silent.
And then…
the earth trembles.

SCENE – The universal quake
An invisible pulse expands from the child.
The walls vibrate.
The crystals shake.
Outside the castle…
gravity bends.
Trees lean.
Mountains tremble.
But the castle… remains intact.

In the sky…
the planets begin to move.
Align.
As if the cosmos responded to his laugh.

King Aldren (deep voice) –
“This… this is divine-level magic!”

Queen Lysara (trembling) –
“No! This is something else… this is destiny!”

Mage 1 (in shock) –
“This isn’t magic! It’s… absolute presence!”

SCENE – The pentagram
The baby extends his tiny hand.
In his palm…
a golden pentagram appears.
It glows with red electric sparks.
Energy concentrates.
And then…

BOOM!
A beam of golden light shoots through the sky.
It pulverizes half of a distant mountain.
The explosion is seen from all kingdoms.

Princess 3 (shouting) –
“The mountain… disappeared!”

Princess 6 (scared) –
“How can he do that?! He’s just a baby!”

Protagonist (miniature laughter) –
“Hee hee hee…”

His laugh isn’t malicious.
It’s pure.
As if he doesn’t understand what he just did.
But the world does.

Ushinawareta Yogen no Saigo no Eiyū
The Last Hero of the Lost Prophecy
Kingdom of Arathen – Royal Castle / Hall of Light

The universe has bowed to the laugh of a newborn. The mountain was pulverized. The planets aligned. And while the world trembles, a note hidden in his blanket reveals the name that will change history… but not in a language anyone knows.

Scene : “The name written in a forgotten language”

SCENE – The baby keeps laughing
The baby remains in the princess’s arms.
His laugh is soft, like bells in the breeze.
His golden eyes shine with innocence.
But the air still vibrates.
As if the world hasn’t recovered from the beam of light.

Baby (laughing) –
“Hee hee hee…”

Princess 6 (looking at him tenderly) –
“You have no idea what you just did, do you?”

SCENE – The discovery
The princess notices something in the blanket.
A fold.
A piece of paper hidden in the seams.
She carefully pulls it out.
It’s a note.
But the letters…
aren’t normal.
Symbols no one recognizes.

Princess 6 (confused) –
“What… what language is this?”

Mage 1 (approaching quickly) –
“Let me see that.”

The mage takes the note.
Her eyes widen in surprise.
The letters glow faintly.
As if they were alive.

Mage 1 (murmuring) –
“This isn’t human writing…
nor elven… nor draconic…”

SCENE – The memory
The mage closes her eyes.
Searches her memory.
And then… remembers.
A book.
Ancient.
Forbidden.
Kept in the castle’s underground library.

Mage 1 (urgently) –
“Bring the Tome of Lost Languages! Volume III!”

An apprentice runs.
He returns with a book covered in dust and magical seals.
The mage opens it.
Page after page…
until she finds the symbols.

SCENE – The translation
The hall falls silent.
Everyone watches.
The mage reads softly.
And then… she speaks.
With a clear voice.
With reverence.

Mage 1 (translating) –
“Take care of him…
His name is…”

Everyone approaches.
The hall remains silent.
The mage lifts her gaze.

Mage 1 (solemnly) –
“Kagayaku Izanagi Hoshi.”

Queen Lysara (with trembling voice) –
“His name… is a prophecy.”

Mage 1 (whispering) –
“And it was written in a language only the gods used…”

Princess 4 (looking at the baby) –
“Kagayaku… sounds beautiful.”

Princess 1 (smiling) –
“Then he already has a name!”

SCENE – The baby sleeps
The baby hears his name.
He smiles.
And falls asleep.
His tiny hand closes.
The pentagram disappears.
The energy calms.
But in the sky…
the planets remain aligned.
As if the universe were still waiting for his next laugh.

Ushinawareta Yogen no Saigo no Eiyū
The Last Hero of the Lost Prophecy
Kingdom of Arathen – Royal Castle / Hall of Light
5:06 a.m.
The baby sleeps. His name has been revealed: Kagayaku Izanagi Hoshi. But while the world marvels at his arrival, three mages communicate in silence. Because what just happened… matches a prophecy buried centuries ago.

Scene: “The book that should not be opened”

SCENE – Mental communication
The three mages look at each other.
They don’t speak.
But their minds are connected.
A telepathic channel activates between them.
Only they can hear each other.

Mage 1 (thinking) –
“Did you feel that? The energy… it’s not from this plane.”

Mage 2 (thinking) –
“The orbs shattered. Not from rejection… but from reverence.”

Mage 3 (thinking, more serious) –
“This isn’t magic. It’s something older. Something that shouldn’t be here.”

SCENE – The hidden memory
Mage 3 lowers her gaze to the floor.
Her mind dives into a memory.
Years ago.
An underground library.
A book sealed with forbidden runes.

Mage 3 (thinking) –
“The Book of the Prophecy of the Two Heroes…
I found it when I was young.
And I gave it to the director of the Rising Dragon Academy.
To protect it.
To keep anyone from reading it.”

The image of the director appears in her mind.
A wise man, silver beard, deep eyes.
The academy is far.
Three days’ journey.
But the book…
speaks of this.

SCENE – Fragment of the prophecy
The words of the book echo in her memory.
Ancient.
Sacred.
Written by the first hero before dying.

Voice of the memory (deep, solemn) –
“When the cosmos bows…
the second last hero shall descend.
He will not be born.
He will be delivered.
And his name…
will shine like a star.”

SCENE – The forgotten enemy
The image of Dullminior appears.
A spectral entity.
Formed of void.
The killer of the first hero.
Two thousand years ago.
A being that devours constellations.

Mage 3 (thinking, with fear) –
“Dullminior…
the devourer of light.
The one who broke the sky.
The one who killed the first.
And now…
the second has arrived.”

SCENE – Reaction of the other mages

Mage 1 (thinking, alarmed) –
“Are you saying this baby… is the hero of the prophecy?”

Mage 2 (thinking, incredulous) –
“That’s impossible! The prophecy was sealed! The book was buried!”

Mage 3 (thinking, firm) –
“And yet… everything it said… just happened.”

SCENE – The baby sleeps
The baby remains asleep.
His tiny hand closed.
His breathing calm.
But the universe… has already recognized him.

Mage 3 (thinking, solemnly) –
“I can’t say it yet.
Not without proof.
But if the book is true…
then this child…
is the last.
The one who will face the void.”

Kingdom of Arathen – Royal Castle / Hall of Light → Gardens of Fire
5:45 a.m.
While the entire castle mobilizes to attend to the newborn arrival, the celestial baby Kagayaku Izanagi Hoshi sleeps peacefully. But when everyone is distracted, the little hero decides to explore on his own… and ends up hanging from the horn of a legendary dragon.

Scene: “Where is baby Kagayaku?”

SCENE – The sleeping baby
Baby Kagayaku snores softly in his enchanted cradle.
His white hair shines under the moonlight.
His tiny hand is closed.
Everything seems calm.

Kagayaku (snoring) –
“Zzz… hee… zzz…”

Princess 1 (whispering) –
“He’s so peaceful… like a sleeping star.”

Princess 5 (placing a magical flower near the cradle) –
“This flower sings if he wakes up.”

SCENE – The maids in chaos
In the royal kitchen, twenty maids are gathered.
All wearing magical aprons.
All with panicked expressions.

Maid 1 (nervous) –
“What does baby Kagayaku eat?! We can’t fail!”

Maid 2 (holding a spoon) –
“Milk! But from the cow that eats moon flowers!”

Maid 20 (the elder, with a sweet voice) –
“He’s a baby.
Not a god.
And babies…
need love.
And warm milk.”

SCENE – The butlers in dilemma
In the royal dressing room, the butlers review tunics, cloaks, and miniature crowns.

Butler 3 (holding a velvet crown) –
“What if we put this on him? It’s adorable!”

Butler 5 (decisive) –
“Call the castle’s seamstress! Baby Kagayaku deserves something unique!”

SCENE – The seamstress in action
The castle’s seamstress begins designing.
A white tunic with golden edges.
Hand-embroidered stellar symbols.
A small brooch shaped like a star.

SCENE – The oversight
The princesses help with fabrics, embroidery, and decorations.
But no one looks at the cradle.

Princess 2 (with a shiny fabric) –
“This thread changes color with the light!”

Princess 6 (drawing stars) –
“We can embroider constellations!”

Princess 5 (looking at the cradle) –
“…Where is baby Kagayaku?”

Silence.
The cradle is empty.

SCENE – The awakening and mischief
Kagayaku has woken up.
He crawls out of the cradle.
Laughs softly as he slides through the castle corridors.

Kagayaku (laughing while crawling) –
“Hee… hee…”

He passes under tables, between curtains, through enchanted hallways.
Until he reaches the Gardens of Fire.

SCENE – The red dragon
In the gardens, the kingdom’s red dragon, Rhazkar, sleeps in a guarding position.
His scales shine like embers.
His golden horns rise like towers.
And Kagayaku… finds him fascinating.
He crawls toward him.
Climbs onto a rock.
And hangs from the dragon’s horn.
Swinging as if it were a swing.

Kagayaku (miniature laughter) –
“Hee hee hee hee!”

Rhazkar opens one eye.
He watches him.
And doesn’t move.
Just smiles… as if he understands who he is.

SCENE – Panic in the castle
The maids notice the absence.
The empty cradle.
Chaos begins.

Maid 1 (shouting) –
“Where is baby Kagayaku?!”

Maid 3 (alarmed voice) –
“ACTIVATE INFANT EMERGENCY PROTOCOL!”

The castle crystals flicker.
The butlers spring into action.
The guards mobilize.
The mages are alerted.

Butler 1 (firm voice) –
“Baby Kagayaku has escaped! I repeat: the little one is crawling free!”

SCENE – The discovery
Finally, a maid sees smoke in the garden.
She peeks out.
And sees him.
Kagayaku hanging from Rhazkar’s horn, laughing.
The dragon holds him with one claw, as if he were a plush toy.

Maid 5 (shouting) –
“I FOUND HIM! HE’S WITH THE DRAGON!”

Princess 6 (arriving running) –
“Baby Kagayaku! You can’t hang from legendary creatures!”

Ushinawareta Yogen no Saigo no Eiyū
The Last Hero of the Lost Prophecy
Kingdom of Arathen – Gardens of Fire
6:30 a.m.
The celestial baby Kagayaku Izanagi Hoshi plays beneath the wing of the red dragon Rhazkar. A simple growl is enough to keep the butlers at bay. The earth obeys him. The sky weeps for him. And when a venomous snake bites him… the kingdom witnesses a scene as absurd as it is legendary.

SCENE – The game beneath the wing
Kagayaku settles beneath Rhazkar’s wing.
The dragon covers him with his wing as if it were a living shield.
The baby plays with shiny pebbles, laughing softly.

Kagayaku (giggling) –
“Hee hee hee…”

His golden eyes flicker.
And suddenly…
they turn deep green.
Like living emeralds.

SCENE – The butlers approach
Three butlers arrive with embroidered blankets, freshly sewn clothes, and a bottle of warm milk.
They see the baby under the dragon’s wing.
And stop.

Rhazkar (low growl) –
“Grrr…”

Butler 1 (freezing) –
“Was that… a warning?”

Butler 2 (trembling) –
“It was a decree.”

Kagayaku smiles.
Touches the ground.
Fierce roots emerge from the soil, wrap around the butlers’ ankles, and lift them upside down.

Butler 3 (dangling) –
“Majesties! The baby is disciplining us!”

SCENE – The sky responds
Rhazkar moves his neck.
He’s thirsty.
Kagayaku notices.
His eyes change to deep blue.
The sky darkens.
The clouds stir.
And then…
it rains.
Fiercely.

Giant drops fall over the garden.
The dragon roars softly, satisfied.
The roots retreat.
The butlers fall into puddles.

SCENE – The mages arrive
The three high-level mages arrive at the garden.
They see the baby under the dragon’s wing.
They take him confidently.
Rhazkar sniffs the little one and lets him go.

Mage 1 (smiling) –
“He’s soaked, but happy.”

Mage 2 (looking at the sky) –
“That’s too much water for Rhazkar… don’t you think?”

Kagayaku pouts.
Raises his tiny hand.
A golden explosion crosses the sky.
The storm dissolves.
And a warm dawn is born.

The sky opens.
Golden rays illuminate the garden.
The drops evaporate.

Kagayaku (smiling contentedly) –
“Hee…”

SCENE – The walk on the grass
Soaked from the rain, Kagayaku walks barefoot on the grass.
The mages converse among themselves.
The baby steps away, exploring.

Mage 3 (soft voice) –
“No doubt. He is the center of the elements.”

Mage 1 (looking at the dragon) –
“And the dragon knows it.”

SCENE – The attack
From the damp roots, a two-meter black snake emerges.
Silent.
Venomous.
It slithers toward Kagayaku…
and bites his arm.

CHOMP!

Maid 1 (shouting from afar) –
“The snake bit him!”

Maid 2 (running) –
“Baby Kagayaku!”

The mages turn.
The princesses rise.
The kingdom holds its breath.
Kagayaku looks at the snake.
He doesn’t cry.
He doesn’t scream.
He pouts.

Kagayaku (with an indignant face) –
“Mmm…”

And then…
he bites back.
With strength.
With resolve.

CHOMP! CHOMP! CHOMP!

The snake writhes.
But Kagayaku isn’t done.
He grabs it by the tail…
and slams it against the ground.
Once.
Twice.
Five times.
Ten.

THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD!

SCENE – Reactions

Maid 3 (mouth agape) –
“The baby slammed it like a rag!”

Princess 6 (astonished) –
“And he bit it like it was bread!”

King Aldren (soft voice) –
“The snake is… dead.
And covered in bite marks.”

Queen Lysara (with a mix of horror and tenderness) –
“This child… is adorable.
And terrifying.”

Mage 2 (looking at the remains) –
“It didn’t vanish.
It’s there.
Dead.
And very… bitten.”

6:35 a.m.
The celestial baby Kagayaku Izanagi Hoshi has been bitten by a two-meter venomous snake. But instead of crying… he bites it, slams it, and now, with an adorable pout, decides that the “chepiente” was very bad. What follows is a scene that blends tenderness, power… and a very peculiar justice.

SCENE – The final punishment
Kagayaku stands before the battered body of the snake.
The bite marks are evident.
The creature is motionless.
But the baby isn’t done.

With his eyes still glowing in blue and green, Kagayaku grabs it by the tail.
He lifts it.
Pouts.

Kagayaku (frowning) –
“Bad… chepiente.”

Everyone watches.
The maids, the mages, the princesses, the kings.
Absolute silence.
The baby extends his free little hand.
A grayish glow surrounds it.
And then…
the snake begins to harden.
To petrify.

CRACK!
Stone spreads across its body.
Until it’s completely rigid.
Kagayaku looks at it…
and with a mischievous smile…
throws it to the ground.

CRASH!
The snake shatters into pieces.
Like a fallen statue.
Fragments all over the garden.

Kagayaku (looking at the pieces) –
“No more chepiente.”

SCENE – Reactions

Maid 1 (covering her mouth) –
“He turned it to stone!”

Maid 2 (trembling) –
“And broke it like it was a toy!”

Princess 3 (wide-eyed) –
“That was… incredible!”

King Aldren (soft voice) –
“This child… has the judgment of a god… and the humor of a rascal.”

Queen Lysara (with a nervous smile) –
“And it seems he doesn’t like ‘chepientes’.”

Mage 1 (looking at the fragments) –
“Spontaneous petrification… without a spell…”

Mage 3 (softly) –
“And with a pout.”

Kingdom of Arathen – Gardens of Fire
6:50 a.m.
Darkness didn’t just arrive. It stayed. And what it left behind… was more than destruction. It was a silence that hurt.

At that moment, the sky darkens, an overwhelming power approaches, the three mages and the princesses feel like they’re losing air, and a black portal appears.
From that portal, a mage emerges.

Dark Mage (with an innocent smile) –
“Well… an adorable little one with devastating power…”

Dark Mage (laughing slowly) –
“Sorry, but I was ordered to annihilate you, little one.”

SCENE – The elevation
The dark mage rises with Kagayaku in her arms.
The three mages below, powerless.
The baby doesn’t move.
He only watches.

Mage 1 (tense voice) –
“We can’t cast anything! She has him!”

Mage 2 (angrily) –
“Damn it… she’s using his body as a shield!”

Mage 3 (looking at the sky) –
“Kagayaku!”

SCENE – The soft roar
Rhazkar intervenes.
His roar is low.
Not of war.
Of warning.
But the mage doesn’t stop.

Rhazkar (soft roar) –
“Grr…”

A dark gesture.
A shadow spear.
The dragon falls.
No sound.
Just the dull thud against the earth.

Kagayaku (looking at the dragon) –
“…Rhazkar…”

His golden eyes tremble.
A tear falls.

SCENE – The attack on the mages and princesses
The mage extends both hands.
Two dark blasts.
The three mages are struck.
The six princesses fall.
Wounded.
Trembling.

Princess 4 (bleeding) –
“Kaga… yaku…”

Mage 2 (gasping) –
“We… can’t… move!”

SCENE – The gravity circle
The dark mage activates the circle.
The three mages sink.
The ground squeezes them.
They can’t rise.

Dark Mage (smiling) –
“Everything that shines… breaks.”

SCENE – The stabbing
Kagayaku doesn’t scream.
Doesn’t move.
He only cries silently.
His golden eyes fill with tears.

Kagayaku (whispering) –
“…Rhazkar…”

The mage watches him.
Feels something.
A pulse.
A power.
And then…
she stabs him.

Dark Mage (with a twisted smile) –
“Too much power… for such a small heart.”

The baby doesn’t scream.
He only falls.
The mage lets him go.
Disappears into shadow.
