BLADE OF CHRONOS ‎SO1 EO6 – THE WEIGHT OF A SECOND
<p>(The summary of Episode 5)</p><p>Kairo meets Master Ryuga for the first time and learns that wielding time requires emotional control, not just strength. Ryuga warns him that those who fail to balance their emotions are consumed by the blade. Kairo realizes that his greatest battle may be against himself.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>(Episode 6)</p><p>The world was moving again.</p><p>‎The sun hung low in the sky, pale and uncertain, as if it didn’t fully trust time anymore.</p><p>‎Kairo stood at the edge of a cliff overlooking the frozen valley below. His sword rested against the ground, its blue glow dimmer than before. Every time he used it, he felt it—time pulling at him, asking for something in return.</p><p>‎Ryuga stood a few steps behind him, arms folded.</p><p>‎“You hesitate now,” Ryuga said. “You didn’t before.”</p><p>‎Kairo clenched his fist.</p><p>‎“Because before… I didn’t know the cost.”</p><p>‎Aira joined them, her eyes fixed on the horizon where faint cracks still shimmered in the sky.</p><p>‎“Every time Kairo stops time, something else moves closer to breaking.”</p><p>‎Shin looked between them.</p><p>‎“Then why give him the blade at all?”</p><p>‎Ryuga’s voice was heavy.</p><p>‎“Because the blade chose him. And because someone must carry the burden.”</p><p>‎Kairo turned sharply.</p><p>‎“What burden?”</p><p>‎Ryuga stepped forward and placed two fingers against Kairo’s chest.</p><p>‎“The weight of a single second,” he said.</p><p>‎“Change one moment, and the future bends.</p><p>‎Change too many… and it collapses.”</p><p>‎Suddenly, the air trembled.</p><p>‎A low ticking echoed across the valley—slow, uneven, wrong.</p><p>‎Aira’s eyes widened.</p><p>‎“He’s here.”</p><p>‎From the裂 in the sky, a figure emerged—not fully formed, like a memory trying to remember itself.</p><p>‎Seraphis.</p><p>‎His red eyes glowed softly as he floated above the ground, time distorting around him.</p><p>‎“So this is the boy who steals seconds,” Seraphis said calmly.</p><p>‎“You look… smaller than I expected.”</p><p>‎Kairo raised his sword, but his hands shook.</p><p>‎Seraphis smiled.</p><p>‎“Do you feel it? That pull in your chest? That fear?”</p><p>‎He tilted his head.</p><p>‎“That’s how I began too.”</p><p>‎Kairo froze.</p><p>‎“What do you mean?”</p><p>‎Seraphis drifted closer.</p><p>‎“I lost someone. I tried to fix one moment.”</p><p>‎The smile faded.</p><p>‎“I fixed it again. And again. And again…</p><p>‎until time broke—</p><p>‎and so did I.”</p><p>‎Ryuga stepped between them.</p><p>‎“Enough.”</p><p>‎Seraphis laughed softly.</p><p>‎“Train him if you want.</p><p>‎Protect him if you can.</p><p>‎But when he falls…”</p><p>‎His eyes locked onto Kairo.</p><p>‎“He will become me.”</p><p>‎The ticking grew louder.</p><p>‎Kairo screamed and released his power.</p><p>‎Time stopped.</p><p>‎Everything froze—Aira, Shin, Ryuga, even Seraphis.</p><p>‎Alone in the silent world, Kairo fell to his knees.</p><p>‎“What if I can’t stop it?” he whispered.</p><p>‎“What if I’m already walking the same path?”</p><p>‎A voice echoed in the stillness—</p><p>‎not Ryuga’s.</p><p>‎Not Seraphis’s.</p><p>‎His own.</p><p>‎Then choose differently.</p><p>‎Time snapped back.</p><p>‎Seraphis was gone.</p><p>‎Only the echo of ticking remained.</p><p>‎Ryuga placed a hand on Kairo’s shoulder.</p><p>‎“Training begins now,” he said.</p><p>‎“Not to make you stronger…</p><p>‎but to make sure you don’t lose yourself.”</p><p>‎Kairo looked at the sky, where the sun struggled to shine.</p><p>‎“I won’t become him,” he said quietly.</p><p>‎But somewhere beyond time…</p><p>‎Seraphis smiled.</p><p>‎</p><p><br/></p><p>End Of Episode 6</p><p><br/></p><p>Anticipate Episode 7</p>
