Chapter 17: “Shadow of the Broken Oath”

---

Scene 1: Flying Ship – En Route to the Abyss Forest

Hayashi, Sylvia, Marianne aur Professor Valeria flying ship ke deck par khade hote hain.

Sky mein dark clouds, aur ek eerie silence.

Hayashi (thinking):

“Reinhardt… tu kaise badal gaya? Aur kyun?”

System ek aur ping deta hai:

> [System Alert]

“Foresight Thread: Fragment Glimpse – Marianne in Tears | Reinhardt in Demon Armor”

Hayashi ka heart beat tez ho jaata hai.

Sylvia:

"Apne emotions control mein rakho, Leonhart. War mein distraction maut hoti hai."

Marianne:

"Tumhe samajh nahi aayega… woh sirf ek classmate nahi tha."

---

Scene 2: Forest Edge – First Encounter

Zarek ka aura pura jungle mein faila hota hai. Trees rot kar rahe hain, air mein poison jaisa feel.

Suddenly — Sylvia ruk jaati hai.

Sylvia:

“Unki footsteps yahin se andar gayi thi… par ek aur dark presence bhi hai. Double aura interference.”

Valeria spell cast karti hai — ek illusion door hoti hai aur ek burned sigil milta hai. Demon contract ka symbol.

Valeria (shocked):

“Yeh toh Forbidden Magic se linked hai. Reinhardt... usne deal sign kiya?”

Marianne ka chehra safed pad jaata hai.

---

Scene 3: Forest Interior – Reunion or Rupture

Team Reinhardt ko finally ek purani ruined temple ke andar locate karti hai.

Reinhardt demon-infused armor mein khada hota hai, uski aankhon mein red flicker.

Marianne:

"Reinhardt... yeh tum kya ban gaye ho?"

Reinhardt (coldly):

"Mujhe yeh banna pada... tum log samajh nahi sakte. Main is duniya ki justice laa raha hoon."

Hayashi (angrily):

“Yeh justice nahi, yeh betrayal hai! Tujhe kya Mila? Zarek ke chamche ban gaye?”

Reinhardt:

“Main kisi ka chamcha nahi hoon... na demons ka, na humans ka. Sirf apne mission ka.”

Zarek (emerges from shadow):

“Ah, the hero boy arrives. Let’s see if you’re ready to lose everything you protect.”

Scene 4: Emotional Explosion – Marianne Breaks

Marianne aage badhti hai — uske haath kaap rahe hote hain.

Marianne (tears in eyes):

“Tune toh mujhse vada kiya tha... ki hum hamesha saath rahenge...”

Reinhardt kuch nahi kehta. Bas uski aankh se ek chhupi hui aasu nikalti hai — lekin woh turn kar ke bolta hai:

Reinhardt:

“Woh ladka mar chuka hai.”

Marianne gir jaati hai. Sylvia usse sambhalti hai.

---

Scene 5: First Clash – Hayashi vs Reinhardt

Hayashi aage badhta hai. Uski aankhon mein dard hai, par haath mein sword.

Hayashi:

"Agar tu nahi rukega... toh main tujhe zabardasti waapas le jaunga."

Reinhardt:

"Phir aa, dikhata hoon teri heroism kya kar sakti hai."

Clash of blades begins — sparks fly, forest trembles, emotions explode.

---

Final Shot:

Battle intense ho jaata hai. Suddenly System Alert aata hai:

> [Destiny Divergence Reached – Phase 2 Initiated]

“Brotherhood Broken – New Fate Timeline Activated”

Zarek smile karta hai.

Zarek (whispers):

“Good… now bleed for your truth.”
