Episode 35 – "The Divine Invitation: Echoes of Balance"

> Location: Grand Royal Palace – Night

Just after the King's announcement, a strange ripple passes through the skies—visible only to those who understand the divine.

Scene 1: Invitation from the Holy Domain

That night, as Aeron meditates, a radiant scroll made of light appears before him, floating gently with glowing golden runes.

Az (in his head):

> "Tsk. The Holy Domain is fast, huh?

They've sensed the awakening."

Aeron (opening it):

> "An… invitation?"

The scroll reads:

> "To the one who carries the Creator Spark and the Demon Flame—

You are summoned to the Sacred Land of Eternity.

Not as a student… but as a threat or a miracle.

Come.

And face judgment."

Scene 2: The Council of Balance

In a distant realm, a hidden council meets. These aren't kings, but ancient watchers—guardians of balance who've stayed in shadows for eras.

Watcher One:

> "This child carries Creator power, a holy sword, and the sealed blood of the First Demon King."

Watcher Two:

> "If he leans even a little toward chaos…"

Watcher Three:

> "We may need to remove him… before balance breaks."

They dispatch a being known only as The Judge, a divine-level being hidden for 100,000 years.

Scene 3: Ryden & King Discuss the Future

Ryden:

> "What if the Holy Domain tries something?"

King (firmly):

> "Then they'll face the wrath of a father… and a kingdom that bows to none."

He sends his personal knight guard, The Royal Eclipse, to quietly watch over Aeron. One of the members is Aeron's uncle in disguise.

Scene 4: Aeron Trains with His Sword

His sword now resonates with his bloodline. The second form, "Divine Abyss," lets him neutralize demonic energy and convert it to holy flames.

But...

Aeron:

> "Why does this sword feel like it's… alive?"

Az (appearing with popcorn):

> "Oh, that's 'cause it is. You'll meet her later."

Scene 5: Sword Speaks (Teaser)

Late at night, when Aeron meditates, he hears a female voice whisper:

> "You… are my master now?

Prove yourself worthy, wielder of chaos and creation."

Aeron opens his eyes, stunned.

The sword glows with mysterious runes.

Scene 6: Az to Readers

Az:

> "Aeron's invited to the Holy Domain!

And yeah, they don't like demon blood or creator power in the same body.

By the way, that sword? It's not just special.

It's a key… and maybe even a girl.

Oops—spoilers."
