AURA OF THE SEVEN 🌪️
​Chapter 4: Seven Cities, One Bond 🤝
​The explosion's aftermath was a silence louder than any scream. The ruins of Haiyin City were draped in smoke that merged with the shattered clouds. On the ground lay the seven warriors—breathing heavy, their auras flickering like dying candles.
​This battle was no longer about power; it was a testament to will and the birth of understanding.
​🔥 Fire and Lightning: A Silent Recognition
​Ryun sat against a jagged stone, staring at his scorched palms. His fire had betrayed him, burning the very hands that wielded it. Kael limped over, his body sparking with the last remnants of his electricity.
​Kael spoke, his voice raspy:
"If you hadn't burned yourself out... I might be the one lying in the dust right now."
​Ryun clenched his fist, a faint, blood-stained smile appearing on his face.
"And if you were just a second slower... maybe I would have mastered the flame."
​For the first time, Fire and Lightning didn't clash to destroy—they leaned on each other to stand. 🔥⚡
​🌊 The Depth of Balance and Frost
​Nearby, Seiya knelt as his protective waters slowly seeped into the dry earth. Yuna approached him, the frost on her robes shimmering under the dim light.
​Seiya whispered:
"I searched for balance... but war is chaotic. It doesn't ask for permission."
​Yuna replied with her signature calm:
"Ice that stands alone is easily shattered, Seiya. Today we broke together, and that is why we survived." 🌊❄️
​🌿 A Seed Within the Void
​Minho, though wounded, watched a small green sprout emerging from the cracked concrete behind him. Noct, whose arrogance was once as vast as the Void, stood with a lowered head.
​Noct spoke softly for the first time:
"I believed the Void could swallow everything... but your persistence filled the emptiness I felt."
​Minho smiled warmly:
"A single tree can never be a forest, Noct. Even the Void needs something to hold." 🌱🕳️
​🖤 Gojung's Final Call
​Finally, Gojung stepped into the center. He was the victor, yet his face held no pride. His shadow stood beside him, no longer a weapon, but a companion.
​Gojung looked at the others:
"We came from seven cities as rivals. If we remain enemies, we will meet again only to break each other. But if we stand together... we change the world."
​A heavy silence followed. Then, Kael extended his hand. Seiya took it. Ryun, Yuna, Minho, and Noct joined in, one by one.
​Seven hands. One circle. One destiny. 🤝✨
​🌪️ Chapter End Narration
​"The battle tested them. Defeat humbled them. Understanding bound them. The boys of the seven cities were no longer mere warriors—they were a brotherhood.
​And when seven auras move as one... the world itself should tremble." 🖤🔥⚡
