The Mirror Crown of Versions
"The hero you are is shaped by the ones you chose not to be."

🌫 [Scene: The Chamber of Versions]
Following the naming of Igrath Vol, the sky fractured like broken glass.
Each crack became a mirror.
And each mirror… showed himself.
Not as reflection.
But as possibility.
Riven stood in a slowly shifting corridor of mirrored shards.
Each piece hummed, pulsed, whispered.
> "This place," Mirael said quietly,
"It doesn't belong to time."
> "It belongs to could have been," Lyara whispered.
> "Then let's find the one I need to become," Riven said, his hand on Flamechron.

As they moved deeper, the mirrors bled mist and began to shift...
And out stepped the first version.

👤 Mirror Riven 1 – The Tyrant King
Eyes gold with absolute power.
A cloak made from the ashes of gods.
Crown fused into his skull.
He looked at Riven with disgust.
> "I won," he said.
"I didn't forgive. I didn't hesitate. I burned everyone."
> "At what cost?" Riven asked.
> "At no cost. They deserved it."
Flame met flame.
But it wasn't strength that won — it was restraint.
> "That crown doesn't fit me," Riven whispered.
"I'd rather carry the pain."
The Tyrant shattered into flame.

👤 Mirror Riven 2 – The Broken Flame
This version crawled.
No eyes.
No voice.
Only whispers of failure.
> "I couldn't save Selene.
I couldn't stop Caelen.
So I became nothing."
Riven knelt.
> "You were never nothing," he said.
"You were the reminder that failure shapes us."
He offered his hand.
The Broken Flame wept.
Then vanished.

👤 Mirror Riven 3 – The God of Fire
Tall. Radiant. Unreachable.
This version floated above ground, surrounded by followers chanting his name.
> "They worship me," he said.
"I burned away mortality.
I ended need."
> "But do you feel anything?" Riven asked.
> "Only glory."
Riven shook his head.
> "Then you're just another version of Caelen."
He turned his back.
The god dimmed.
And disappeared.

👑 The Mirror Crown Descends
At the end of the corridor stood a final shard.
It didn't reflect a different Riven.
It showed him — as he was.
Scarred.
Worn.
Burning.
Behind him — the other versions kneeling.
Not in defeat.
But in respect.
From the top of the last mirror floated a crown — made of flame, glass, and storylines.
It hovered… then settled atop Riven's head.

📜 Whisper from the Mirror Realm
As the crown fused to his flame, the mirrors all spoke in one voice:
> "You are not the best version of yourself, Riven Valtoris.
But you are the only one who chose to carry them all."
