Kaela remembers fire.
Not the warmth of it—but the way it devoured. She remembers being pulled from a collapsing underground lab at age eight, her body riddled with scars and nanite poisoning. The ones who rescued her said she was lucky.
But Kaela never believed in luck.
She grew up under the ruins of Neo-City, raised by quiet rebels and scavenger medics. She didn't know her mother's face. Didn't know why her blood could synchronize with old Echo systems that rejected everyone else.
But the whispers began early.
Voices in her dreams. Memories not her own. A name—"Ada." And a man's voice, full of regret, saying: "She has her fire, but not her chains."
As Kaela trained, it became clear she wasn't normal—but she wasn't a prodigy either. Her technique was raw. Her energy burned out faster than it should. But her will? Unbreakable. She fought like someone trying to prove they deserved to exist.
The dual sabers she wields are unfinished. Left in the ruins by someone long gone. But when she picked them up, they responded—buzzing to life in her hands when they had rejected every other candidate.
She keeps this secret.
Only Riven knows the truth: Kaela might be a descendant of the legends. Or worse—something designed from them.
But Kaela doesn't care about bloodlines. She only cares about one thing:
Stopping the thing that took her past.
Whatever that thing was—it wore a red coat.
