I’M ALL YOURS

Chapter 34: Chapter 34: The Unchained King



🌑 Scene: Soulforge Crater – One Day Later

FX: Wind howls across the ruined landscape. Cinders drift like snow. 🖤🌬️

[Visual: The mountain has collapsed. Only the vault stands — scorched but untouched. A single figure walks through the ash barefoot.]

Mordaviel.

His white hair whips behind him like silk. His eyes no longer glow. They absorb light.

Mordaviel (thinking):

"I was forged to control."

"I was sealed for being too stable."

"Now I am… neither."

[Scene: He kneels in the ashes, placing a hand on the earth.]

[FX: Black veins ripple out beneath the soil.]

Mordaviel (whispers):

"I have no master."

"I have no bonded."

"Then I will become the flame no one commands."

⚙️ Scene: Memory Fragment – Inside His Mind

[Visual: Young Ariyenna smiling. Her voice echoes.]

"You were always the calm one. They said I was the chaos."

[Young Mordaviel]:

"You were the song."

"I was just the silence it needed."

[The memory ends. Mordaviel's eyes flicker with something old — grief?]

Mordaviel (thinking):

"But you changed the melody."

"And left me in silence again."

[Scene: Crater – Now]

[He walks to a nearby outcropping where a Rebellion scout's body lies half-buried in ash.]

He kneels. Places two fingers on the man's chest.

[FX: The corpse twitches. A single breath exhales.]

Mordaviel (calm):

"You may rest. But your soul… will remember me."

[Visual: The scout dissolves into black ash. From it rises a flickering wraith-like shape. Its eyes open — loyal.]

First Wraith Whispering:

"Your will, Unchained King?"

Mordaviel:

"I do not need armies. I need echoes."

"I will not burn the world. I will make it quiet."

[Scene Shift: Mountain Path Below – Villager POV]

A boy in a frozen village sees something rise from the peak — a black crown-shaped cloud.

He whispers, afraid:

"Something old is awake."

🌑 Final Scene: Mordaviel stares into the horizon.

Mordaviel (thinking):

"She chose to walk away from her role."

"But I will walk into mine — not as a servant. Not as a king."

"As the one who was left behind."

[FX: A heartbeat pulses beneath the mountains. Somewhere far off, Riven feels it. Again.]
