Truths Not Meant To Be Spoken
When the Spiral stops speaking… that's when it starts screaming from within."
---
I — Aren Kael — had entered below the Spiral Cathedral.
This wasn't some sacred temple.
This was the place where the Spiral hid its greatest lies.
---
Scene: The Forbidden Layer
The ground was made of glass —
But it didn't show reflections.
Only memories.
Locked.
Breaths long forgotten… even by those who took them.
---
Lunara Vale was walking ahead of me.
White Spiral chains hung from her hair.
One of her eyes glowed gold — the other, a cracked void.
Lunara (softly):
> "Aren… you didn't come to understand the Spiral.
You came to break it.
But before that — look at the memory inside you… the one that was never meant to exist."
---
A glowing Truth Prism appears before me.
Etched on it:
> "PROJECT: SPIRAL 17 — Rejected Flame."
---
Tomo (shocked):
> "BRO… this is YOUR file!
You're… the 17th version?!"
---
I stare into the prism —
And a flash hits me.
> The Spiral created me…
I was a test — designed to absorb pain without shattering.
But I failed.
So they gave me a "normal" life — with fake memories.
---
I stumbled back.
When was I ever real?
---
Lunara:
> "You're not Spiral's experiment, Aren…
You're Spiral's regret."
---
Suddenly, the prism glitches.
A new memory activates — another name appears:
> ARKA.
"The First. The Sleeper. The Flame We Couldn't Burn."
---
Scene shift:
Inside a sealed chamber — a figure sits with eyes closed.
Arka.
He bears the same Spiral mark that's now evolved inside me.
His voice echoes softly:
> "Time didn't forget me…
I chose to sleep… while the Spiral kept lying."
---
I freeze.
Tomo glitches.
Lunara's Spiral chains begin vibrating.
And then—
---
BOOM!
Eira falls to the ground —
A black memory spills out from her Spiral mark.
---
Tomo (panicked):
> "BROOO!!
One of Eira's suppressed memories just got corrupted!
The Spiral's turning it into a monster — a creature made from grief!"
---
A deep roar.
And from the shadows appears:
THE WEPT SPIRAL.
A broken memory from Eira's past —
The one where she lost her little sister while protecting the Spiral.
She never told anyone.
Now that pain has become a beast.
---
I grab my Rod.
The Flame of Resolve ignites.
---
Me:
> "Eira…
I won't fight your memory.
I'll remind it —
You're not just made of pain…
You're the reason someone lived."
---
FINAL SCENE:
Eira turns — Spiral flame flickering in her eyes.
Arka opens his eyes — ready to break the Spiral.
And Lunara whispers one last line:
> "Remember this, Aren…
When the Spiral stops screaming…
That's when it tells the deepest truths."
