In a distant corner of the universe, beyond the limits of mortal understanding, lay the Divine Threshold. It was a sacred and majestic place where the gods, in their infinite wisdom and power, deliberated over the fate of worlds. Beneath a translucent dome that reflected the constantly shifting multiverse, a council had been convened.
The air in the Threshold was dense with energy. Golden columns soared toward infinity, and an empty throne in the center symbolized the absence of Aetherion, the God of Creation, whose disappearance had left both a literal and symbolic void. The gods occupied their respective seats, each radiating a unique presence that reflected their domain.
Everyone’s attention was fixed on a screen of luminous energy floating in the center of the Threshold. Projected upon it was the image of a young mortal: Biel. His figure moved with determination, facing dangers that few could endure.
Solaryon, the God of Light, broke the silence, his resonant voice illuminating the hall like a sunbeam.
"The balance is in danger. That young mortal carries a power that could destroy us all if he does not control it."
Nyxaris, the God of Shadows, shrouded his figure in a mantle of darkness that contrasted with Solaryon's intensity. He responded calmly, his voice like a whisper spreading through the Threshold.
"Balance is not something that should be forced, Solaryon. That boy is a spark of change, and change is not always destructive. Sometimes, it is necessary to prevent decay."
Chronasis, the God of Time, watched Biel with a distant gaze, his eyes reflecting infinite possibilities.
"I have seen the possible timelines. In some, he is our salvation. In others... he is our doom. Time has not yet decided."
Thalgron, the God of War, struck the floor with his spear, making a sound that rumbled like thunder.
"And what do we do in the meantime? Wait for him to choose? If he becomes a threat, we should act now, before it is too late."
Elaris, the Goddess of Life, raised a hand to call for calm. Her presence emanated a soothing energy, but her tone was firm.
"We must not forget that he is not alone. There are those who guide him, those who support him. We cannot judge him without considering the context."
Veyrith, the God of Chaos, smiled maliciously, enjoying the conflict among his peers.
"And among them is Acalia, is she not? A woman with a past as chaotic as my own domain. Isn't it fascinating how the scales always find ways to tip?"
A murmur ran through the Threshold. Acalia’s name resonated even among the gods.
Arselturin, the God of Death, whose voice was deep and solemn, intervened.
"What do we know of her? Why is she so close to the Bearer of the Fragment?"
Orivax, the God of Wisdom, tilted his head, his eyes shining with knowledge accumulated over eons.
"Because she also has a role to play. Acalia is no simple mortal. Her presence beside the Bearer is no coincidence."
The screen changed, showing Acalia walking alongside Biel. Her face, serene yet full of determination, hid secrets that even the gods did not know.
Orivax continued: "She is a key piece on this board. And if we do not understand her, we will not be able to foresee the outcome of this conflict."
Suddenly, a deep voice loaded with authority echoed in the Threshold. It was Xaltheron, the God of the Void, whose presence was so overwhelming that the air seemed to stop around him. He had remained silent until that moment.
"While you argue, the Demon Kings are awakening. Gard is not the only one seeking the Fragments. If that boy falls, they will reclaim their power, and we will have no way to stop them."
The mention of the Demon Kings made the atmosphere grow even more tense. Everyone knew that the balance depended not only on the gods but also on keeping the Demon Kings in their place.
Sylvaran, the God of Nature, took the floor, his voice serene like the rustling of a forest.
"Then, what do we propose? To intervene directly? Or continue observing?"
Nyxaris stepped forward, his figure wrapped in shadow.
"Let us observe, for now. But if the Bearer of the Fragment loses control, we shall not hesitate to intervene."

While the gods continued their debate, the screen showed a scene that captured everyone's attention: Biel facing a dark creature, his power manifesting in flashes of light and shadow. The gods watched in silence, each evaluating the young man's potential.
Chronasis broke the silence. "Time will give us the answer. But we cannot ignore the impact Acalia has on him. She is his anchor, for both light and darkness."
In the field, far from divine eyes, Acalia walked in silence beside Biel. The atmosphere was charged with tension, yet also a calm that only the forest could offer. Biel spoke of his doubts and the weight of his power, while Acalia listened attentively, offering words of encouragement when necessary.
Suddenly, a freezing breeze swept through the area, causing Acalia to stop dead. Her eyes narrowed, and her hand moved instinctively toward the hilt of her sword. Biel noticed her tension and stopped as well.
"What's wrong?" he asked, looking around.
Before Acalia could answer, a voice echoed around them—deep and loaded with an authority that could not be ignored.
"It has been a long time, dear Acalia."
Acalia stood motionless, her eyes widening with surprise and something else: recognition. But she said nothing. The voice faded with the wind, leaving behind a silence that weighed as much as the air before a storm.
