◆ Scene 1 – The Song Begins
Somewhere beyond the known sectors, beneath the ruins of Citadel Thervan, the Fourth Weapon Holder rose.
He sang.
No words.
No melody.
Just a sound that bypassed language and burrowed directly into the soul.
Across New Earth, those attuned to Neva felt it like knives in their minds.
And in Dilonia—
Kairos jolted awake.
His eyes bled gold.
“The Silence has begun.”

◆ Scene 2 – Ellis Hears It First
Ellis dropped his book mid-sentence.
He wasn’t sure why.
Then the sound hit.
A hum that vibrated through his bones.
Every word around him slowed.
Every breath tasted like memory.
He looked up at Chris, who had frozen in place — eyes wide, veins glowing faint silver.
“Do you—?”
Chris nodded slowly.
“I hear it.”
“It’s not sound.”
“It’s truth.”
