🔥KARAPAX 2❄️

1

(Aod, the cosmic wolf goddess, steps down from the void. Her fur is woven from galaxies. Her ten thousand tails stretch across the entire sky, each one a river of starlight, each one a thread of KARAPAX itself. The ground trembles. The wind dies. Fire and ice both fall silent.) Aod: (her voice is everywhere at once — in the ember, in the frost, in the breath of every creature) "Children of KARAPAX... I have watched you burn. I have watched you freeze. I have watched you tear my world apart over a truth neither of you will accept." (She lowers her head, and the mountains bow.) "The Boiling Point is near. The earth cracks beneath your war. And when it splits, it will not ask which of you was right." (Her tails flare, and the sky splits in two — one half blazing orange, one half frozen white.) "Choose." "Choose the flame, and burn bright — until there is nothing left to burn." "Choose the frost, and endure — until the world forgets what warmth ever was." "Choose fire... or choose ice. But know this: you cannot stand between them forever." (She rises, her form filling the sky, her ten thousand eyes blazing.) "For the day of the Boiling Point is coming... and on that day, I will not save you." (Silence.) Aod: (softer now, almost a whisper) "So choose wisely, little ones."
