The Celestial War Of Aerilon

The journey back from the void left Karcel and her companions weary, but their spirits were high. The rogue gods had been defeated, and the Key of Creation was safe. But as they returned to their camp, they found something they did not expect chaos .

The mortals who had followed them were in disarray, and the leaders of the mortal armies were arguing fiercely.

"What's going on?" Rael demanded as they approached.

One of the soldiers looked up, his face pale with fear. "It's Kalos," he said. "He's betrayed us."

Karcel's heart sank as she turned to Kalos, who stood at the edge of the camp, his expression grim.

"It's true," Kalos said, his voice hollow. "I've been working for the rogue gods this entire time."

kalos' confession sent a shockwave through the group. The companions, who had trusted him, were left stunned by the revelation. Karcel's gaze hardened as she stepped closer, her heart torn between disbelief and the bitter truth.

"Why?" Rael asked, her voice shaking with anger. "We trusted you, Kalos! You fought beside us!"

Kalos clenched his fists, unable to meet their eyes. "I didn't want to," he murmured. "But I had no choice. My life was bound to the gods long before we met. They held the fate of my people in their hands. If I didn't obey them, my homeland would have been destroyed."

"You betrayed us for your own people's survival?" Naida asked, her voice cold. "Did you not see the greater threat we're facing? The gods were tearing the world apart."

Kalos finally looked up, his eyes filled with anguish. "I know! But I couldn't abandon them. My hands were tied. The gods gave me one mission: to ensure the Key of Creation never reached the hands of any mortal-bound goddess."

Karcel's light flared briefly, her anger simmering beneath her calm exterior. "And what now, Kalos? Will you finish the job and kill me to fulfill their command?"

Kalos fell to his knees. "I don't want to fight you, Karcel. I never did. But if I defy them, everything I love will be destroyed."

Silence fell over the group. Even Rael, who had drawn her sword, hesitated. The betrayal cut deep, but they could see the torment in Kalos' eyes. He wasn't a simple villain—he was a man trapped between impossible choices.

Karcel's voice softened. "There's always a choice, Kalos. Even now."

Tears welled in Kalos' eyes as he lowered his head. "I can't turn back. They've already sent their enforcers. They'll be here soon to claim the Key and finish what I couldn't."

Karcel's mind raced. The gods had been one step ahead of them all along. But there was still time—if she could convince Kalos to join them fully, they might stand a chance.

"Then we fight," Karcel said, her voice steady. "Together."
