I’M ALL YOURS

🏔️ Scene: Trail beyond Frostreach – Twilight

FX: Wind moves low across the cliffs. The snow is quiet again. Almost peaceful. But something else walks with it now. 🌨️🌬️

[Visual: Riven and Kaelith travel the ridgeline above the frozen valley. The world glows amber with dying light. Below, old ruins dot the cliffs like fossilized bones.]

Riven (thinking):

"He leaves silence behind."

"But something else is starting to whisper back."

[Kaelith gestures ahead.]

"Old Soulforged relic site. Burned out during the rebellion. Nobody's walked through there in years."

[Riven]:

"I think someone has."

[FX: Her blade hums gently, not in warning — in recognition.]

🌫️ Scene: Ruins of Dreyfael Forge

[Visual: A shattered plaza with broken pylons and rusted metal structures. Faded sigils still cling to the stone — worn, cracked, but not forgotten.]

[Kaelith]:

"These places were wiped after the collapse. No survivors. No data."

[Riven kneels at a cracked emblem. Her fingertips brush the surface.]

FX: A flicker of blue flame flashes under her hand — like breath caught in old lungs.

Whisper (faint):

"Flameborn…"

She freezes.

[Kaelith]:

"…Did you hear that?"

[Riven]:

"Yes."

🔥 Scene: Soul Echo Activation

[FX: A low pulse resonates through the stone. One by one, sigils on the walls ignite — not with electricity, but soullight. Ancient memory tech awakens. A circle of glyphs glows around Riven's feet.]

[Voice — older, broken, genderless]:

"Designated Ariyenna has been erased."

"New signature detected: Flameborn."

[Riven steps back instinctively. But the voices rise — not screaming. Not commanding. Welcoming.]

"Flameborn. One who chose."

"One who broke the cycle."

"One who burned her own leash."

[Kaelith stares around as dozens of half-formed Soulforged echoes — flickering, transparent, cracked — appear like smoke in the ruins.]

[One steps forward. A woman — black armor, half her face gone, but eyes glowing faintly.]

"We remembered you."

"You were one of us. Then you weren't."

"But now you are something more."

[Riven speaks — softly.]

"I don't remember you."

[Echo]:

"You weren't meant to. But we remembered you. Even when they told us not to."

🕊️ Scene: Memory Offering

[One of the echoes steps forward — small, childlike — and touches Riven's hand.]

[FX: A flood of memory flows into her — a moment from centuries ago: Riven standing at a Soulforge gate, eyes wild, fire at her heels.]

[Someone calls out to her: "Flameborn, run!"]

Riven (thinking):

"That wasn't Elara."

"That wasn't Ariyenna."

"That was me. Before they caged it."

[Kaelith]:

"What are they doing?"

[Riven]:

"Giving me back the pieces they kept."

[The echoes begin to fade — not in pain. In peace.]

"The chain-breaker walks again."

"Let the fire rise where silence once ruled."

[Final Visual: As the last Echo vanishes, the stone beneath Riven glows for a moment — seared with a single word in Old Soulforged script:]

FLAMEBORN.
