Kairios’s pilgrimage is shattered when he stumbles upon a caravan under brutal attack. Families are torn apart, guards overwhelmed, and chaos reigns as bandits descend without mercy. With no time to hesitate, Kairios steps into the fray, unleashing the power of Solthren’s flame to protect the innocent.

But his gift is not what the world expects.

His fire heals, yet it burns. Wounds close through searing light, leaving survivors questioning whether they were saved or scarred. As the battle rages, Kairios faces a hardened enemy unlike the rest, a commanding figure whose presence cuts through the chaos with precision and intent. Their clash is brief, but unforgettable, marking the beginning of a rivalry that will echo far beyond this encounter.

But something else lingers beneath the surface, something unseen. The attack feels too deliberate, too coordinated to be simple banditry. As Kairios continues forward, the weight of his oath grows heavier, and the world begins to reveal that his journey is not one of simple salvation, but of trial, truth, and the slow unraveling of everything he believes.
