The Boy Who Burned the Heavens

"He doesn't edit stories. He silences them."

---

🏰 [Scene: Between Pages — The Final Manuscript Hall]

A realm where books bled.

Where rejected drafts screamed as they were pulled apart.

Where forgotten epilogues curled into dust.

And in the heart of this realm stood a monolith made of redlined paragraphs.

There, in silence, he stood.

Tall.

Cloaked in armor sewn from deleted lore.

Face hidden behind a mask shaped like an exclamation point — inverted.

In his hand floated a pen too massive to hold, shaped like a halberd:

The Quill of Finality.

He was...

> The Editor Supreme.

🧱 Dialogue – Cutting the Page

Riven Valtoris stepped into the hall, flames crackling softly across his shoulders.

Behind him, Mirael and Lyara emerged, tense, breath frozen.

Before them stood Edictor.

His voice echoed like an overwritten line:

> "Riven Valtoris. You exceed your arc."

Riven's grip on the Flamechron Quill tightened.

> "And you're the one who thinks he's the final word."

Edictor's mask shifted — frown etched deeper.

> "Your flame writes recklessly.

You defy tropes. You overwrite prophecy.

You inspire fan theories."

Riven smirked.

> "That last one wasn't a complaint, was it?"

⚔️ Duel Begins – The Red Pen vs The Rewritten Soul

The moment Edictor moved, ink bled from the ceiling.

Sentences tore.

Reality groaned.

> "Let's trim your excess," Edictor hissed.

He slashed — and Riven lost two memories.

His first duel with Caelen

The taste of Lyara's first cooked meal

Riven staggered, gasping.

> "You can't just—"

> "I just did."

🧬 Riven's Retaliation – Words That Burn

Riven plunged his Flamechron Quill into the broken parchment floor.

> "Then let's add a new paragraph."

Flames surged — each one a scene reborn.

He rewrote:

His first sword with extra flame

Selene's betrayal as a necessary pain

Caelen's cruelty as weakness, not destiny

Edictor recoiled.

> "You dare revise what was finalized?"

> "I dare remember."

---

🌀 The Battle Spirals – Meta vs Memory

Riven was flung into alternate versions of his own life.

One where he died as a boy

One where he became a puppet king

One where Selene never loved him

Each false self tried to take over.

Each screamed:

> "Let us replace you!"

But Riven wrote over them all:

> "I am the one they chose to read."

🧨 The Climax – Breaking the Editor

Edictor roared and raised the Quill of Finality.

> "This is your final sentence!"

But Riven raised his hand — glowing with memories.

Behind him, Mirael, Lyara, the Flame Wraiths, even the Remnants he once saved — all appeared, glowing with reader's remembrance.

> "No," Riven whispered.

> "This is just my semicolon;

not the end."

He struck.

Flame met ink.

And for the first time…

The Editor's pen snapped.

---

📝 Outcome – Divine Rewrite

Edictor fell to one knee.

His mask cracked.

A tear of blue ink rolled down.

> "You… rewrote me."

Riven stepped forward.

> "Not to destroy you.

To remind you…

Every story deserves a second draft."

Edictor closed his eyes.

> "Then go, writer.

Face the blank page."

And he vanished.

🩸 Ending Scene – The Chapter That Refused to End

As the hall faded into glowing words, Lyara took Riven's hand.

> "You could've erased him."

> "No," Riven said.

> "Because even editors… deserve closure."

From the torn ceiling, a new path opened…

A staircase of unwritten lines.

And at the top — a throne made of pure white light.

Waiting.
