Chapter 18 - Chapter 18 — The Dark Council

🌑 Dark Room

Total silence.

Around a large table…

Silhouettes.

Motionless.

Raizen sits.

Calm.

A door opens.

An agent enters.

Out of breath.

Agent:

"…The Chimeras have been destroyed."

Silence.

A slight smile appears on Raizen's face.

Raizen:

"Of course."

The others slowly raise their eyes.

Executor 1:

"You knew?"

Raizen:

"Obviously."

He folds his hands.

Raizen:

"These children…

needed a test."

Heavy silence.

Raizen:

"And so did you."

💀 The 6 Executors are here.

Alive.

Unharmed.

Perfect condition.

Executor 2:

"So… those creatures…"

Raizen:

"Copies."

Silence.

Raizen:

"Near-perfect reproductions…

of you."

💥 Tension rises instantly.

Executor 3 (cold):

"'Near'?"

Raizen smiles.

Raizen:

"They lacked your experience…

and your will."

Pause.

Raizen:

"But they were enough…

to measure their evolution."

Executor 4:

"And the result?"

Raizen:

"They survived."

Silence.

Raizen stands.

His aura becomes heavy.

Oppressive.

Raizen:

"So now…"

He looks at each of them.

One by one.

Raizen:

"It's your turn to act."

💀 Crushing pressure fills the room.

Executor 5 (slight smile):

"Finally…"

Executor 6:

"We can have some fun."

Raizen:

"No."

Silence.

Raizen's gaze turns cold.

Raizen:

"You're going to break them."
