Scene: Tournament Arena – Day 2
The sky roars with enchanted storm clouds. Today's duel:
Kaelira Vaelis vs Lord Rennic Arvalon, heir to the Blightborn House — masters of curse magic.
> "A swordswoman with no crest? Pathetic."
"Say that again when you're eating steel."
He draws his blade. It weeps black ichor.
Cursed Blade: Mournglint
Each cut drains vitality, each breath weakens opponents.
Kaelira doesn't flinch.

⚔️ The Fight: Speed vs Corruption
Rennic's sword lashes out in curses. Shadows ripple. He melts stone just by breathing.
Kaelira moves like a phantom. No wasted steps.
Every slash is calculated.
Precise. Cold. Beautiful.
She takes a hit to the shoulder — deliberately.
Draws him in. Spins once.
SFX: SLICE
His weapon arm drops to the ground.
Gasps. Blood. Silence.
Kaelira whispers:
> "Your blade was cursed."
"Mine is damned."
She wins. Walks away.
No celebration. Just silence.
In the stands, Raze mutters with a mouthful of snacks:
> "Kinda hot. Also terrifying."

🧠 Meanwhile: Eiro's First Real Move
Eiro sneaks into the artifact chamber at night. Disables the defensive barrier. Plants a Mana Distortion Rune into Raze's training gear.
> "If the gear rejects him mid-match… his power will rebound. Might kill him. Might reveal what he really is."
He smiles to himself.
> "Either way… the world wins."

❤️ Meanwhile: The Fanclub Causes Problems
The Crestless Crusaders sneak into the tournament brackets and try to bribe officials to rig Raze's matches.
They fail horribly. One tries to seduce a referee and gets detention.
Another accidentally switches Kaelira into a match against a war golem.
> "We did it out of love."
"You did it out of brain damage."
—Kaelira and Raze

🧊 Final Scene: Memory Crystal Activation – Kaelira's Mother's Secret
Kaelira finds a locked crystal inside her family vault. It activates when it senses her blood.
A voice plays:
Her mother's voice.
> "If you're hearing this… I'm likely dead."
"There was another child. Before you."
"He was taken. Not killed. Hidden. Cloaked in abyss fire."
Kaelira's eyes widen.
> "His name was… Raze."
The crystal shatters.
