The Boy Who Burned the Heavens

"One born of burning memory. One forged in frozen betrayal."

❄️ [Scene: The Glacier of Forgotten Balance]

After donning the Mirror Crown, Riven's flame pulsed brighter than ever.

But the world around him shifted.

Heat vanished.

Air turned thin.

He now stood at the edge of a colossal glacier, cracked by time and magic. The ground gleamed with frostbite memory.

A throne made of pure ice stood opposite his flame — tall, jagged, and humming with stillness.

And sitting on it...

Was Caelen Valtoris.

Alive.

Real.

Crowned in frost.

His cloak shimmered like frozen glass.

> "Surprised?" he smiled.

> "I killed you," Riven hissed.

> "Correction," Caelen said.

"You burned me. But the world never let me die."

He rose from his throne.

> "Because someone needed to balance your fire."

🧊 Caelen's Power: Frozen Rewind

With a flick of his hand, Caelen froze the present.

Riven blinked — and found himself back to the day he was burned.

Tied. Screaming.

Selene walking away.

The flames inching forward.

But this time… Caelen was beside the fire, watching.

> "You thought you were the victim," Caelen said coldly.

"But I envied you. I watched you burn and wondered… why did you get the rage?"

> "You didn't want my rage," Riven growled.

"You wanted my story."

⚔ The Battle of Twins Begins

Riven, blazing with Mirror Crown and Flamechron

Caelen, wielding Frost-Thread Blades, cold enough to sever timelines

⚡ First Strike:

Riven launched a flame arc — Caelen froze it mid-air and redirected it.

They moved like reflections fighting in reverse — every step, a mirrored counter.

🔥 Flame meets Frost:

Riven summoned Riven the Tyrant — Caelen answered with Caelen the Redeemed

Riven tried to rewrite frost — Caelen froze the ink itself

The glacier cracked.

Reality glitched.

And still… neither backed down.

💥 Turning Point – Lyara Interferes

As both brothers clashed, Lyara stepped in — glowing, her eyes flickering between fate and free will.

> "You are both wrong!" she cried.

"This isn't about flame or frost.

It's about the story both of you abandoned."

She raised her hands.

Time paused again.

But instead of freezing — it fractured.

🌀 Final Duel – Words vs Silence

Riven's quill glowed.

Caelen's blade pulsed.

One wrote.

One erased.

Every strike now carried meaning.

"Trust."

"Betrayal."

"Regret."

"Hope."

Finally, Riven pinned Caelen to the ground, Flamechron at his brother's throat.

> "What now?" Caelen whispered.

"You win?"

Riven didn't strike.

He whispered:

> "No. I write."

And with that, he wrote one final line on Caelen's chest:

> "Brother."

🧊 The Frost Throne Melts

The glacier trembled.

The frost throne shattered.

And Caelen… wept.

> "You named me," he whispered.

"Even after everything…"

Riven held him.

> "You weren't my enemy," he said.

"You were just… unfinished."
