POV: Auren, Seris, Myra

> "When the spiral turns, so does the world.
It twists until truth is unbearable,
And love becomes a weapon sharp enough to break time."
— The Song of Shattered Fates

[Scene: The Battlefield in Eldryn – Seconds from Chaos]
The wind stilled.
The skies groaned.
The Hollowborn hissed from every crack in the ground, thousands of them crawling up the sides of Eldryn's sacred cliffside. Seris hovered midair, a storm of violet fire spiraling around her like a crown of thorns.
Auren stood between her and Myra — his palms glowing, his spine straight despite the tremble in his bones.
"You're stronger than I expected," Seris said, her voice almost admiring. "But strength without knowledge is just noise."
"You're wrong," Auren replied. "I don't need to know everything to protect her."
He glanced back. Myra, though only nine, stood tall beside her masked guardian — arms out, mark burning.
Auren stepped forward.
Seris smiled.
> "Then show me your love, boy."

[Scene: Duel of Light and Hollow]
Seris attacked first.
With a flick of her fingers, shadows roared into claws and dove for Auren. He raised his hand and the Ring's energy burst from his mark, forming a crescent-shaped shield that shattered them mid-air.
He ran forward — not with fear, but fury.
Their powers collided: Hollowflame versus Moonblood. Spiral versus Void.
Each strike tore through the ground, breaking the time-worn stones of Eldryn beneath their feet. The air split open, trees withered, stars blinked in and out as they fought.
Seris whispered curses in forgotten tongues.
Auren roared names — Elara. Laziel. Myra.
And then…
Myra stepped in.

[Scene: Twinflare Awakens]
The masked guardian screamed for Myra to stay back — but the bond between twins could not be severed.
Myra raised her hands, her own spiral spinning faster and faster. For a moment, the battlefield paused — even Seris froze.
> "Don't touch my brother," Myra whispered.
And suddenly, they merged.
Light blazed across Eldryn. Two spiral marks burned in sync. Auren and Myra's magic folded into each other, forming something never seen before:
Twinflare.
A silvery dragon-shaped aura wrapped around them, eyes burning like stars, wings carved from emotion.
It screamed.
And the Hollowborn ran.
---
[Scene: Seris Retreats — but Not Defeated]
Seris screamed as the dragon's breath scorched the skies. Her own magic faltered, cracking around her like a broken mask.
But she didn't beg.
She didn't cry.
She smiled.
> "Good," she whispered. "Let them fear what's coming."
She vanished in a spiral of black flames, leaving behind only ash.
The army melted into shadow.
And Eldryn fell into silence.

[Scene: Aftermath — The Twins Reunited]
When the light faded, Auren collapsed.
Myra caught him.
For a long moment, the world was quiet.
A boy and a girl sat beside each other, forehead to forehead, both marked by the same spiral — born under the same moon, bound by fate's cruel dance.
"You're real," he whispered.
"So are you," she replied. "We're not alone anymore."
Their guardian approached — mask now removed.
It was Veyna, once the general of the Light Court, now a renegade.
"I broke every vow I ever swore to protect her," she said softly. "Now I'll do the same for both of you."

[Scene: Meanwhile — Elara Watches from Afar]
In a tower lined with starlit mirrors, Elara fell to her knees as the vision ended.
She had felt their fusion.
"Twinflare…" she whispered. "They've awakened it."
Kael placed a hand on her shoulder. "It's beginning, isn't it?"
"No," she said, rising. "It's already begun."
---
[Final Scene: The Prophecy Shifts]
In a hidden temple beneath the city of Lunaris, the old Book of Twin Flames opened itself.
Words shifted across its ancient parchment.
The original prophecy twisted, revealing a new final line:
> "When the Spiral binds twice…
The Moon shall bleed.
And love will choose what war cannot."
The book snapped shut.
And far across the realms…
Seris opened her eyes.
And smiled.
