⚠ Fragment Manifestations Detected:

Kael the Mercybringer – Eastern Sanctuary of Veyr

Preaching peace, drawing in pilgrims by the thousands.

Healing the sick, but draining their memories in return.

Kael the Tyrant Flame – Northern Stronghold of Dravon

Leading a warhost under the title The True Flame.

Declared Kael Valen a heretic.

Kael the Hollow – Whispering Woods

A silent, eyeless version, surrounded by ghosts.

Spreading madness — villages found empty.

Kael the Seraphic – Skies over Yllareth

Glowing with divine fire, believed to be a returned god.

Worshipped. Untouchable. Unmoving.

Kael the Beast – Deep beneath the Broken Spine mountains

Transformed into something monstrous.

Feeds on regret and fear. Children go missing.

Kael the Mirrorborn – Wandering between realms

Slips through dreams and memories.

Seeks to "unmake" the rest.

Ravengarde's Council Room

Kael stood before a war table, surrounded by his few remaining allies.

Ashendawn pulsed — it could feel its echoes walking.

Vaenira slammed her fist.

"We have six versions of you out there waging psychological and literal war, and you're telling me we can't kill them?"

Kael was silent.

"They are me," he finally said. "Killing them is killing myself."

Nilo spoke up.

"So what do we do?"

Kael raised his eyes.

"We win. One mind at a time."

[New Questline: The Sevenfold Reclaiming]

Objective: Encounter each soul fragment.

Sub-choices: Absorb, Banish, or Bind.

Warning: Each choice affects Kael's power, morality, and destiny.

First Target: The Mercybringer

Kael chose to begin with the Mercybringer in Veyr —the softest flame, the closest echo of his own compassion.

He arrived in disguise.

The city had changed.

The poor were peaceful.The sick were healed.The desperate… were blank-eyed, whispering only one word:

"Mercy."

Confrontation in the Temple of Light

The Mercybringer greeted Kael with a smile.

"Ah… the angry one comes home."

"You're stealing their will."

"I'm saving them from pain."

"You're cutting out the soul."

"I am the soul."

Kael drew Ashendawn.

The Mercybringer raised his hands, calm.

"I won't fight. But if you kill me… you lose what made you human."

[Choice: How to Handle the Mercy Fragment]🔥 Absorb – Regain powerful healing and empathy, but increase soul instability.🛡 Bind – Trap the fragment in a vessel. Use its power sparingly.⚔ Banish – Remove the fragment entirely. Lose mercy forever.

Kael whispered:"I need you… but not like this."

He lifted his hand.

Ashendawn shone with golden light —not as a blade, but as a seal.

And with that,Kael bound the Mercybringerinto a shard of crystal now hanging around his neck.

[Fragment Bound: Mercybringer]

Passive ability: Empathic Insight – Kael senses emotional lies.

Can channel healing once per day, but risks personality slippage.

Soul Instability: ⚠ Moderate
