The forest was silent after the chaos. The demonic beast’s corpse still steamed where it fell, its massive form sprawled between uprooted trees and scorched soil. David stood beside it, panting softly, his twin daggers flickering with residual spirit glow.

He looked down at the boy—the unconscious Talon—bloodied, bruised, and clinging faintly to life. The red-haired girl had just vanished through the spatial gate with her guardian. And David… stood still, staring at the boy as something deep within stirred.

He didn’t know why he cared. He didn’t even know the boy’s name.

But somehow, the sight of Talon bleeding out sparked a sharp pang in his chest—a kind of urgency. A fragment of memory, too broken to form a sentence, whispered in his mind like fog:

"You were meant to save him."

Since his arrival, he'd lived on instinct. Something deeper than memory told him what to do—when to fight, when to move, when to act. And now, when he looked at the battered boy, something told him: 'Protect

Battle for Supremacy
Talon stared at the figure in front of him. His body still felt unstable, like pieces of him were adjusting to being real again. The Echo stood calmly, its robe shifting between light and shadow, but its presence wasn’t overwhelming, it simply existed, like a constant fact. Talon’s voice was low. “You said there’s a way to bring everyone back. Tell me.” The Echo nodded once. “There is. But you can’t do it the way you are now. Your seal is unlocked, yes, but it’s incomplete. You have one half. Maelion holds the other.” Talon clenched his fists. He already suspected that; the moment Maelion snapped, he felt something tear inside his chest. “So what do I do?” The Echo lifted its hand, and five symbols appeared in the air simple shapes, glowing faintly. “These are requirements. Without all of them, reversing the Fracture is impossible.” Talon stepped closer, focus sharp. “Explain each one.” "Recover the Temporal Keystone" The first symbol was a circle with a vertical line through it

A thin grey light seeped into the shelter, touching the cracked walls and the dusty ground. The air was cold, still, untouched by the sun. Talon’s temporal body brightened gradually, like a lamp warming into shape. Talon adjusted the thin band on his wrist. The watch hummed softly, its screen pulsing with dim blue light. The Echo’s earlier words still rang in his mind as the sand shifted around his feet. The watch was more than a tool. It was a stabilizer. A lifeline. Above him, the sky shimmered with that strange pale glow unique to this early age of the world, too young, too raw. Talon lifted his wrist, the watch flickering again. ‹TEMPORAL CORE LINK: ACTIVE› Kah’rin stood at the entrance, arms folded, staring into the vast pale horizon as if measuring the world’s pulse. “We leave now,” he said, not looking back.

The Current bent ahead of him twisting, narrowing, then suddenly widening like a river about to spill into open land. Talon braced himself as the flow thickened under his feet. The air around him changed temperature, warming fast. Sand-colored light overtook the path.A pull stronger than before jerked him forward. The Temporal Current released him.Talon stumbled as his boots sank into loose earth. Heat struck him immediately. He steadied himself, blinking hard against a sun that felt too close, too bright.Before him stretched an endless desert. The sand was pale gold, almost white in some places, and wind swept across it in long, steady currents that carried dust like thin smoke. Far in the distance, jagged rocks rose like broken teeth. No structures. No roads. No sign of civilization, just a harsh, untouched world.His temporal body flickered at the edges as it adjusted to the environment. A faint vibration hummed through him.‹TEMPORAL CONSTRUCT INTEGRATION: 89%›‹WARNING: STABIL
