Chapter 38 - Chapter 35: The Scroll of the Unsaid

It was Theo who found it.

Deep in the Restricted Section.Tucked between a cursed volume on necromancy and an unlabelled blood-bound tome.

A scroll tied with black thread.

It pulsed faintly, as if breathing.

"There's no title," Theo whispered."Just a seal mark."

The broken ring.

Opening the Scroll

They brought it to the Room of Requirement, which responded by dimming all light.

The air thickened.

When the scroll was unrolled, words burned onto the surface in silver fire, line by line — like ink revealing itself under heat.

And at the very top, in Ardyn's handwriting:

"The Future That Bleeds Inward."

It wasn't a prophecy in verse.

It was a memory-record of what Ardyn saw before he sealed himself.

The Unsaid Revealed

He had seen:

The death of Kaelen (not by war, but by choice)

Selene's final stand, alone in the seal chamber

Blaise's face, though unnamed

A castle filled with fire

His own self, waking centuries later in another boy's body

And then the final lines:

"When the boy returns who bears my name—when the ring seals whole again—you must not guide him.You must let him burn."

"For the fire must choose its bearer.Not the other way around."

Harry's Realization

He stood in silence for a long time.

And finally spoke:

"He knew it would be me.He wanted me to do this."

"But he didn't trust me to be ready."

Rowan stepped back.

"Then maybe that's what the whole seal was—""A test. Not of strength.""Of will."

Final Scene – Blaise Reads the Same Scroll

Across the castle, in the Chamber of Lost Voices, Blaise held a copy of the same scroll.

But his was written in flame.

And the final lines were different.

"If the fire-bearer reads this, then the ring is already cracked.

Do not let the child of memory return alone.For if he does…

The seal becomes a sword."_
