KEYOKTHAI: THE WAR FOR THE EARTH

The Journey Through ShadowsSoaring high above the planet's edge, Vilgrim and his knight ride their colossal obsidian-scaled dragon. The Earth shimmers faintly far below, hidden beneath clouds and the folds of space.

Vilgrim (grimly narrowing his eyes):

"Do you sense that?"

Knight (tight-lipped, scanning the horizon):

"Yes, my lord. It doesn't belong to us. The aura… it's alien—faint, but nearby."

Vilgrim:

"Send a message to Kaelthor and Threxius. Tell them: emergency assembly at the Abyssal Nexus Court. Now."

The Roar of the CourtThe throne room of the Abyssal Nexus Court is filled with sharp tension. Demons and monsters from both empires stand beneath the celestial dome. Suddenly, the enormous door creaks open and the hall falls into silence.

Vilgrim strides in, his knight at his side. All stand.

Vilgrim (commanding, his voice echoing like thunder):

"I and my knight sensed a strange aura. A power that does not report to me. Someone dared to stir the stars without my knowledge?"

Murmurs rise. Whispers ripple.

Vilgrim slams his armored fist into the throne's armrest—crackling the stone.

Vilgrim (furious):

"Silence! I said answer me. Yes or no?"

Kaelthor (rising calmly):

"No, my king. Nothing has been done without your leave."

Vilgrim:

"Then the meeting—not discussion—is over. If any of you act without permission again, I'll erase your name from the stars."

He turns without another word.

Knight mounts the dragon. Vilgrim joins him.

They disappear into the void, on the path to Noverus.

After the RoarBack in the thrones of power:

Demon Commanders:

"My lord Threxius… shall the meeting continue?"

Threxius (cold and dismissive):

"Return to your realms. No more chatter."

Monster Lords:

"My lord Kaelthor, shall we also continuing the meeting…?"

Kaelthor (curtly):

"Leave."

The Name from ZiusIn a humble wooden house on Zius, the elder of Zius sits with his grandfather over warm tea.

Grandfather (with twinkling eyes):

"How was the party, my grandson?"

Elder of Zius:

"It was good, grandpa."

Grandfather:

"That boy… what's his name again?"

Elder of Zius (smirking):

"You're asking now? His name's Sang Jaey."

Grandfather chuckles, leaning back.

Grandfather (soft, proud):

"Sang Jaey, hmm? You know, long ago… this planet was saved by someone with eyes of fire and voice like fate. His name… was Roykthai."

The tea cools in silence as the weight of the name settles into the air.

The Palace in ChaosBack in the Ziusian royal palace, silence hangs like mist… until it shatters.

Sylin's kiss on Sang has left the palace frozen.

And then—uproar.

Kevin:

"Did she just… kiss him?"

Ceaser:

"Isn't that the same bo— or whatever who is ? I don't understand?"

Jake:

"No way—he's connected to Keyokthai Shammroy?"

Gare:

"This doesn't make sense. Keyokthai is a legend! Right?"

Berse:

"They even look alike? As you said ?"

Levi (thinking about Sang's distant form):

"Who… no, what is he?"

Kaizer suddenly slams his hand on the armrest.

Kaizer (firmly, silencing the room):

"ENOUGH!"

He glares across the assembly.

Kaizer:

"If you want answers… we're going to that place."

The room stirs. Ziron's eyes widen. Silence returns—deadly, expectant.
