—WSA 2025 ENTRY—

Seiya was born into a family of legends. A lineage of power. A dynasty of paragons.

He was none of these things.

Weak. Unwanted. A disgrace.

But destiny had no interest in their expectations. It had plans of its own.

Dragged into a hell beyond reason, Seiya suffered—not for days, not for years, but for what felt like eternity. Torture became his only companion. Pain, his only teacher. And in that suffering, something inside him woke up.

Not an awakening like the others. Not a gift. Not a blessing.

A truth. A force that didn’t belong to this world, or any other.

Now, he returns. Not to prove himself. Not to earn his place.

But to burn everything down.

Armed with the Staff of Chaos and the Sword of Severance, Seiya walks a path carved from vengeance and revelation. The world that cast him aside will either bow before him…

Or become ash beneath his feet.

Rise of the Rejected Deity from Chaos

Kaeliyus watched Hayne in silence, listening intently.

"Therefore," Hayne continued. "you must remain by his side, to protect and aid him," he reasoned. "You shouldn't let rage cloud your reasoning and judgment as always for the sake of his well being."

Taking a few steps forward, Hayne glanced back over his shoulder. "Let's go."

Kaeliyus remained gazing at Hayne's back as he walked away—amazed at the young boy's wisdom. It was true that he had always failed to keep his anger in check, always letting it cloud his judgment—even now after hearing what his young Lord had been through. Mulling it over in his head, Kaeliyus resolved to better himself for the sake of his young Lord.

With a melancholic sigh, he followed silently behind Hayne.

Back at the warehouse where Seiya and Naki had been waiting for the remaining boys, Seiya's head turned to Naki, "They're almost here," he announced.
