Episode 6: THE GODОIN MARK
701 Words
This episode begins with Eijin staring at the strange symbol on his palm.
The mark appeared after the Core Fragment reacted to him.
Eijin tries washing it away.
Nothing happens.
He covers his hand.
Still, the symbol glows faintly beneath the cloth.
Kairo watches him from across the room.
"Don't hide it."
Eijin looks at him.
"Why?"
Kairo answers:
"Because that mark may be the reason the Black Order killed your family."

THE OLD RECORDS
Kairo takes Eijin into the headquarters' restricted archive.
Inside are hundreds of old documents about Arts and supernatural organizations.
Kairo searches for the Godoin family.
Eventually, they find an old photograph.
It shows Eijin's father standing beside several mysterious people.
Behind them is a giant circular symbol.
Under the photograph is one sentence:
THE GODOIN FAMILY — GUARDIANS OF THE CORE.
Eijin is shocked.
His father had never told him anything about the Core.
Kairo explains that the Godoin family protected knowledge about the Core for generations.
But twenty years earlier, the family suddenly disappeared from the records.
Everyone believed they were dead.
Eijin realizes that someone had deliberately erased his family's history.

A NEW MISSION
Before they can learn more, an emergency message arrives.
A Black Order agent has been spotted near an old city museum.
The museum contains an ancient artifact believed to be connected to the Core.
Kairo sends the entire squad.
Eijin goes with them.
Their objective is simple:
Reach the museum before the Black Order.
---
THE MUSEUM
The squad enters the museum after dark.
The building is empty.
Too empty.
Ren notices something strange.
There are no security guards.
No cameras.
No alarms.
Suddenly—
CLICK.
The doors lock.
A voice echoes through the building.
"Welcome, Godoin."
Eijin looks around.
A group of assassins appears from the shadows.
The battle begins.
Raven attacks from above.
Jax fights several opponents at once.
Mira creates energy threads across the hallway.
Ren copies one enemy's ability.
Eijin protects the center of the team.
---
THE ANCIENT ARTIFACT
During the battle, Eijin discovers a large stone sphere hidden beneath the museum.
It has the same symbol as the Godoin Mark.
Eijin touches it.
The sphere activates.
A wave of energy spreads throughout the building.
Every Art user suddenly loses control of their abilities.
The squad freezes.
Eijin remains unaffected.
The Black Order soldiers look at him in fear.
One of them whispers:
"He's the key."
Eijin hears it.
"Key to what?"
Nobody answers.
---
THE ASSASSIN WITH NO ART
A mysterious assassin walks into the room.
Unlike everyone else, he doesn't possess an Art.
Yet he moves faster than the others.
He attacks Eijin.
Eijin creates Bubble Shields.
The assassin cuts through them.
Eijin tries Bubble Shot.
The assassin dodges.
Eijin is knocked backward.
The assassin tells him:
"You rely too much on your Art."
Eijin remembers Kairo's training.
A bubble is a container.
He stops attacking.
Instead, he creates tiny bubbles around the assassin's feet.
The assassin jumps.
Eijin uses another bubble to change his direction in midair.
Then another.
Eijin begins moving unpredictably.
He finally lands a hit.
The assassin is surprised.
---
THE GODОIN POWER
The ancient sphere suddenly reacts to Eijin again.
The Godoin Mark on his palm glows.
A golden bubble appears around Eijin.
It doesn't attack.
Instead, it absorbs the energy surrounding him.
Eijin feels his power becoming more controlled.
He creates a single bubble.
This time, it doesn't explode.
It remains perfectly stable.
Kairo realizes what happened.
"He's learned containment."
Eijin launches the bubble.
It traps the mysterious assassin.
The squad escapes before the museum collapses.
---
THE FINAL REVELATION
Back at headquarters, Kairo examines the information recovered from the museum.
One sentence stands out:
"Only a true Godoin can awaken the Core Gate."
Eijin asks:
"What's the Core Gate?"
Kairo looks toward him.
"We don't know yet."
The scene cuts to Veyron.
He stands before the leader of the Black Order.
Veyron reports:
"The mark has awakened."
The leader responds:
"Then the boy must not reach the Core Gate."
Veyron asks:
"And if he does?"
The leader slowly turns around.
"Then the world changes forever."
