🕊️ Scene 1: Blood from the Sky
The sky split—not with thunder, but with weeping.
Dark clouds rained red. Villagers stared in horror as the storm carried voices.
👵🏽 Old Woman (whispers):
"The gods are crying again… like in the First Age."
🧍♂️ Arav (narrowed eyes):
"No. They're not crying. They're bleeding."
As he said that, the spiral mark on his chest glowed faint gold — not black. Not grey. But golden.
The gods were breaking.
And Arav could feel it inside his bones — a tearing, like divinity was unraveling.

⚔️ Scene 2: The Risen Tribunal
The Sadhu had vanished. But in his place rose three beings—neither alive nor spectral. Clad in fractured celestial armor, they introduced themselves as the Risen Tribunal — remnants of gods once worshipped… now corrupted.
👁️♂️ First Voice – The Iron Eye:
"You, Spiralborn, have defied your fate."
🩸 Second Voice – The Crimson Tongue:
"The dagger was not meant for love. It was meant for silence."
🕯️ Third Voice – The Hollow Womb:
"You bring balance… but balance is not peace. It is war."
🧍♂️ Arav:
"Then let war come. I'll bleed like a man, not bow like a god."
But Zia stepped in front.
🧍♀️ Zia (calm):
"You're too late. He already chose. And now… we choose to fight."
The Tribunal laughed — a sound like glass shattering underwater.

🛡️ Scene 3: The Old Shields
To fight gods, mortals needed more than courage.
Zia led Arav into the Cathedral of Echoes, hidden deep beneath the bones of the fallen Spiralbeast.
There, relics remained — armor, blades, and a shield made of forgotten memories.
🧍♀️ Zia (touching the shield):
"This belonged to the first woman who stood against the gods. She had no name. Just fury."
🧍♂️ Arav (picking up a broken sword):
"This one… remembers its wielder's screams. It's hungry."
The moment Arav touched it, the blade repaired itself — breathing with his heartbeat.
The gods were awakening. But so were the old weapons.

🌌 Scene 4: The Voice of the Hollow
Meanwhile, Kalo stood at the edge of the Sunless Plateau, where stars once fell.
A voice called to him.
Not divine. Not mortal.
Something in-between.
👤 Unknown Voice:
"You are the Other Half, Kalo. Born of ash, raised in rage."
🧔♂️ Kalo (whisper):
"Then why do I still feel… him? Why do I remember the boy I was?"
👤 Voice:
"Because you were meant to replace him. But you refused."
The ground opened beneath him — revealing a sword made of frozen screams.
Kalo took it.
And for the first time since childhood, he smiled.

💔 Scene 5: The Lovers of War
As the armies of corrupted gods approached, Zia and Arav sat beneath a ruined tree.
🧍♀️ Zia (softly):
"Do you think we'll survive this?"
🧍♂️ Arav:
"No. But we might survive ourselves. That's more important."
They didn't kiss. They didn't cry.
They just sat.
Holding hands.
Choosing love not as a comfort — but as a weapon.

🌠 Scene 6: Dawn of the Final War
The battlefield was not a field.
It was reality itself.
The Tribunal appeared, each casting divine shadows that swallowed the sun.
Behind Arav and Zia, villagers came.
Children with torches. Elders with walking sticks sharpened into spears.
And Kalo — now wearing a mask of frost.
🧍♂️ Kalo (to Arav):
"Still alive, brother?"
🧍♂️ Arav (grinning):
"Alive enough to punch fate in the mouth."
The battle began.
But it wasn't just war — it was poetry in blood.
Each strike from Arav tore reality. Each scream from Zia echoed in the gods' bones.
And Kalo?
He froze the sky.

🔚 Scene 7: One God Must Fall
At the height of the chaos, the Tribunal fused into one towering deity — an abomination of judgment.
👁️♂️ The Final God:
"I am the First and the Final. The Spiral ends here."
🧍♂️ Arav (standing tall):
"You forgot one thing."
He stepped forward.
🧍♀️ Zia (weakened but smiling):
"He loves. And love does not spiral. It erupts."
With the last of her strength, Zia cast the Dagger of Silence.
Arav caught it midair.
And plunged it into the Final God's eye.
---
🌙 Scene 8: After
Silence fell again.
But this time, it wasn't heavy. It was earned.
The villagers lived.
Zia collapsed, breathing faintly.
Kalo walked away — not defeated, not victorious. Just… free.
And Arav?
He stood beneath the shattered stars, spiral mark fading.
🧍♂️ Arav (to the wind):
"No more gods. No more chains."
He turned to Zia.
🧍♂️ Arav (smiling):
"Let's make a world worth fighting for."
