Let The Broken See Me

Smoke drifted through the broken hall as the golden chains crumbled into shimmering dust. Silence fell. Not the peaceful kind. The kind that makes people realize everything they believed in just died.

Kael stood in the center. Shirt torn. Breathing steady. And his presence

It was terrifying.

Not because he had power. But because he had freedom

The disciples couldn't speak. Even Elder Varn staggered back eyes wide with something between awe and fear. Kael turned his head slightly toward the crowd.

"Now that the chains are gone"

He stepped forward

"Let the broken see me"

Several disciples fell to their knees not in devotion but because their knees gave out. The moment the statue cracked something inside them had shattered too. Doubt. Fear. Truth

Varn roared with fury aura spiraling out like a star gone mad. "You dare desecrate sacred ground You'll be erased by the heavens themselves"

Kael tilted his head

"The heavens better bring backup"

He raised his hand and clenched it into a fist

The floor trembled

From beneath the cracked temple came a pulse. Not of mana. Not of divine qi. But of breath

Ancient. Forgotten. Unrecorded

It moved through every stone and disciple like a heartbeat echoing from the earth itself. Kael exhaled slowly eyes glowing with faint blue light

They opened

The entire hall shook. Clouds above the temple split. Every chain in the nearby mountain range shattered at once

The system flared

Kael looked up at the sky

And smiled

"Now they see me"
