The Boy Who Burned the Heavens

"The hero you are is shaped by the ones you chose not to be."

🌫 [Scene: The Chamber of Versions]

Following the naming of Igrath Vol, the sky fractured like broken glass.

Each crack became a mirror.

And each mirror… showed himself.

Not as reflection.

But as possibility.

Riven stood in a slowly shifting corridor of mirrored shards.

Each piece hummed, pulsed, whispered.

> "This place," Mirael said quietly,

"It doesn't belong to time."

> "It belongs to could have been," Lyara whispered.

> "Then let's find the one I need to become," Riven said, his hand on Flamechron.

🧩 Lore Drop: The Mirror Crown

> ✴ A divine relic born from fractured timelines

✴ Can only be claimed by facing all the selves a soul could have split into

✴ Warning: Some versions may refuse to give up their place in reality

As they moved deeper, the mirrors bled mist and began to shift...

And out stepped the first version.

👤 Mirror Riven 1 – The Tyrant King

Eyes gold with absolute power.

A cloak made from the ashes of gods.

Crown fused into his skull.

He looked at Riven with disgust.

> "I won," he said.

"I didn't forgive. I didn't hesitate. I burned everyone."

> "At what cost?" Riven asked.

> "At no cost. They deserved it."

Flame met flame.

But it wasn't strength that won — it was restraint.

> "That crown doesn't fit me," Riven whispered.

"I'd rather carry the pain."

The Tyrant shattered into flame.

👤 Mirror Riven 2 – The Broken Flame

This version crawled.

No eyes.

No voice.

Only whispers of failure.

> "I couldn't save Selene.

I couldn't stop Caelen.

So I became nothing."

Riven knelt.

> "You were never nothing," he said.

"You were the reminder that failure shapes us."

He offered his hand.

The Broken Flame wept.

Then vanished.

👤 Mirror Riven 3 – The God of Fire

Tall. Radiant. Unreachable.

This version floated above ground, surrounded by followers chanting his name.

> "They worship me," he said.

"I burned away mortality.

I ended need."

> "But do you feel anything?" Riven asked.

> "Only glory."

Riven shook his head.

> "Then you're just another version of Caelen."

He turned his back.

The god dimmed.

And disappeared.

👑 The Mirror Crown Descends

At the end of the corridor stood a final shard.

It didn't reflect a different Riven.

It showed him — as he was.

Scarred.

Worn.

Burning.

Behind him — the other versions kneeling.

Not in defeat.

But in respect.

From the top of the last mirror floated a crown — made of flame, glass, and storylines.

It hovered… then settled atop Riven's head.

📜 Whisper from the Mirror Realm

As the crown fused to his flame, the mirrors all spoke in one voice:

> "You are not the best version of yourself, Riven Valtoris.

But you are the only one who chose to carry them all."
