Chapter 20:Azry past

**Opening Scene:**

A soft, melancholic melody plays. The scene fades into a black void, then flickers to life with visions of an ancient floating palace — the **Etherion Abyss**, a place where time stands still and only the most powerful demon-angels are born.

**Flashback Begins:**

Azry, only a child at the time, is seen training harshly under the watch of her father — the being responsible for the 2025 Incident. She's pushed beyond her limits daily, trained to become a **"Balancer of Light and Dark."** Her father is cold, emotionless, treating her as a weapon, not a daughter.

**Middle Scene:**

We see her cry in secret, yearning for love and freedom. One day, she secretly reads forbidden books about other worlds — including Earth. Her dream of meeting "someone strong enough to change her fate" is born.

**Meanwhile in the present:**

At school, Azry watches X from a distance. Despite her calm and strict persona as a teacher, she starts to **smile slightly** whenever he speaks or acts with kindness. She remembers her wish — and wonders if X is the one who could **break her chains**.

**Final Scene:**

Azry is alone in her quarters. She removes her glasses, stares into a magical mirror that shows her father watching from the shadows of another world.

"I'll decide my fate… not you," she whispers. Her aura glows — half angelic gold, half demonic black.
