[System Alert: Divine Conclave Initiation in 6 Days]
All pantheon seats summoned. Subject: Selene Virellia — status: Anomaly.
Hidden Directive: Termination Recommended.
Virellia — Midnight Flames
Selene stood in her sanctum, hands bathed in firelight, eyes closed.
Her people no longer called her queen.
They called her something older.
Something not born of this age.
"Lady Flame. First of Her Name. The Crownless Goddess."
Kaelion — Alone in the War Chapel
He knelt before no altar.
Only memory.
He touched the seal she left on his chest — still glowing faintly from the bond they never truly broke.
"She's becoming legend," he murmured.
His general entered. "What will you do?"
Kaelion rose slowly.
"Follow her."
Lucien — Beneath the Bones of a Dead God
He stood over a throne made of skulls.
"The gods want her dead."
He smiled.
"Let me crown her first."
Then he summoned his final weapon.
A mirror forged in the void.
Inside it — a reflection of Selene, twisted and hollow-eyed.
The Echo Queen.
System Alert – Hidden Origin Fragment Unlocked
That night, Selene's system pulsed with something new.
Something ancient.
"Do you want to know why the gods fear you?"
"Because you're not one of them."
She saw it then.
A vision.
Dozens of lives.
Dozens of deaths.
Burning again and again—
Always defiant. Always alone. Always rising.
She was not created by the gods.
She was the fire they tried to bury.
And for the first time in millennia…
The gods began to wonder if they'd made a mistake.
