PLOT SUMMARY – THE IMMORTAL WOUND
ACT I – THE CHILD OF FLAME
Arion, a kind-hearted child in a brutal world, dreams of being a hero. But betrayal, war, and loss twist his path. To save the world, he becomes the tyrant he once despised, conquering nations and silencing gods. His final act: a willing sacrifice for peace.
ACT II – THE IMMORTAL LIGHT
Lyris, cursed by the gods for loving Arion, survives eternally. She watches empires rise and fall, memories of Arion fading with time. Unable to love another due to her curse, she waits across the ages for a flame that never dies.
ACT III – THE EMBER REBORN
100,000 years later, Kael is born in a world of divine technology and crumbling peace. The gods are divided—some bless him, others curse him. Kael carries Arion's soul, but cannot reveal it. He meets Lyris, and though drawn to her, he is silenced by a curse. She cannot love him until she remembers. Kael rises against the gods, ends their rule, and in the final moment, Lyris sees him for who he is. The curse breaks.
ACT IV – THE ETERNAL FLAME
Kael and Lyris vanish into legend, becoming eternal guardians. The truth of Arion's sacrifice spreads. Once hated, now honored. A flame that never died.
"We were never meant to end."
