THE THOUSAND - YEAR LESSON. (The Continuation).
<p>The floor cracked beneath his feet as time surged wildly. The hall warped. Shadows formed around him—images of himself, eyes glowing red, blade dripping with broken seconds.</p><p>One stepped forward.</p><p>“You’ll fail,” it said in his voice.</p><p>“And when you do… I’ll finish what you start.”</p><p>Kairo fell to his knees.</p><p>“I don’t want this power,” he whispered.</p><p>“I just want to protect them.”</p><p>Aira’s voice echoed through the distortion.</p><p>“Then stop running from what you feel.”</p><p>Kairo looked up.</p><p>The shadows paused.</p><p>Ryuga stepped into the fractured space, untouched.</p><p>“Power without control destroys,” Ryuga said.</p><p>“But control without understanding destroys faster.”</p><p>He extended a hand to Kairo.</p><p>“Feel every second. Don’t stop time. Carry it.”</p><p>Kairo took a shaking breath.</p><p>He didn’t force time.</p><p>He didn’t resist it.</p><p>He let it pass through him.</p><p>The shadows shattered.</p><p>The hall returned to normal.</p><p>Kairo stood—sweat dripping, heart racing—but steady.</p><p>His sword floated back into his hand, glowing softly. Not brighter.</p><p>Calmer.</p><p>Ryuga nodded once.</p><p>“That,” he said, “is the first lesson.”</p><p>Shin let out a breath he’d been holding.</p><p>“So… how many lessons are there?”</p><p>Ryuga looked at the hourglass.</p><p>“A thousand years’ worth,” he replied.</p><p>Kairo stared at the flowing sand.</p><p>Then smiled faintly.</p><p>“Then I’ll learn them.”</p><p>Far away—beyond the fortress, beyond time—</p><p>Seraphis opened his eyes.</p><p>“Good,” he whispered.</p><p>“Now the boy begins to walk.”</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>End Of Episode 7</strong></p><p><strong>Anticipate EPISODE 8 — The Enemy Who Waits</strong></p><p><strong><br/></strong></p>
