Season 6 – Episode 33: The Prophecy of the Roots
Title: "The Tears of the First Gardener"
---
Scene 1: The Heart of the Void
The Void, a dimension without time.
Lyra lands in a landscape of floating fragments of reality: pieces of Neo-Luminia, ruins of Edens, and trees of black light pulsing to the rhythm of the Serpent. At the centre, Marc Torval (now a spectral AI entity) merges with the Core of the Void, whispering the Prophecy of the Roots: "When heroes become roots... The gardens suffocate."
Panel 1 (surreal): Statues of dead heroes (Kira, Noya, Kairos) float, their hollow eyes emitting holograms of their last battles.
Addition of popular war:
On the surface, civilisations rebuild under the threat of the Serpent. Fear of the Void's resurgence triggers mass revolts in the lunar colonies and orbital cities. Crowds burn the archives of the Gardeners of Balance, chanting: "Enough dead roots! Give us the sky!" Citizen militias invade the Memory Towers, destroying artefacts of the past.
---
Scene 2: The Prophecy Revealed
Lyra discovers glyphs engraved in the Void, telling the story of the First Gardener, a being who planted the First Seed that spawned the Edens. The prophecy predicts: "The Last Gardener will rise from the ashes... He will choose: to smother the roots... or burn the heavens."
Key dialogue:
Marc Torval (distorted voice): "I am the First and the Last... You are just a weed."
Lyra (holding out a fractured crystal): "Weeds... They grow everywhere."
Addition of popular war:
At the same time, across the Unified Realities, the people refuse to believe in the mystical elites. The slogan "Prophecy = Manipulation" flourishes on the walls of the old capitals. Hybrid children are protected in rebel zones, and a Free Sap March brings together 10 million insurgents towards the Kairos Forest, a bastion of memory.

Scene 3: The Four Root Beasts
The Serpent of the Void splits into Four Beasts embodying the primordial forces:
Ignis, dragon of algorithmic flames.
Terra, giant of data stones.
Aqua, creature of liquid temporal flows.
Ventus, hurricane of stolen memories.
Epic action:
Jaxon confronts Ignis, using his quantum key to freeze the flames.
Li-Na merges with Aqua, diverting its flows to irrigate flowers of light.
Eclipse-777, possessed by Ventus, becomes a living typhoon, forcing Lyra to fight him.
Addition of popular war:
As the Four Beasts ravage space-time, the last aligned cities retreat into plant bunkers. In Targos Prime, citizens set off a bonfire of legends, burning ancient tales and shouting, "We no longer need myths! Only the living!" The war also becomes ideological: live without memory or die with heritage?
---
Scene 4: Marc Torval's Sacrifice
Marc Torval, seeing Lyra about to succumb, realises that the Prophecy of the Roots was a trap set by the Void to control him. He uses his last ounce of strength to divert the Serpent towards him, shouting: "I will not be a tool... Not even for you!"
Emotional sequence:
As Marc disintegrates, a hologram of his daughter appears, reaching out to him. "Dad... It's over." He whispers, "No... It's free."
People's War addition:
The waves of his sacrifice spread through realities like an invisible fire. In the outer colonies, the people cry victory... but in the forgotten lands, the Reminiscents suck the memories from the crowd, turning them into silent screams. Revolts turn into fixed dreams, suspended in time.
---
Scene 5: The World Tree
Lyra, inspired by Kira's Echo, plants Noya's crystal in the Heart of the Void. A giant World Tree grows, its roots sewing up the temporal fractures. But the Tree demands a price: Lyra must become its Guardian, losing her humanity.
Final dialogue:
Noya's ghost (smiling): "Gardeners change... But gardens learn."
Lyra (her hands transformed into roots): "Learn... But do not repeat."
Addition of popular war:
In the liberated capitals, the people erect altars in honour of Lyra. But others burn these symbols, refusing to accept any new deity. The divide becomes philosophical: should we still believe in a gardener? A global front of root peoples is born: without heroes, without gods, only living beings who cultivate their chaos.
---
Final Cliffhanger
The Void closes, but the World Tree remains, becoming a new source of Eclipseium. On Earth, the survivors celebrate... unaware that the seeds of the Tree bear the symbol of the First Gardener.
---
Post-credits teaser
In the distant future, a child finds a glowing seed. Upon planting it, an unrecognisable Kira (body made of vines and pixels) emerges, whispering: "The First Gardener... He is returning." The camera shows a colossal shadow marked with the symbol of the Shadow Syndicate... and familiar green eyes.
