Zyphar did not walk into Hell because he was fearless. He walked because fear alone was never reason enough to stop. The Forging Trinity—his three Masters—had warned him with clarity and care: the final trial was not meant to be won, not even meant to be faced. Saints were granted immunity. Chosen ones were taught avoidance. But Zyphar was neither. He was an Animas, a soul forged through scars, not selected by favor. He chose the path to Hell not to prove strength, but to honor the journey—his own, and the legacy of those who taught him. For him, the test was not optional, even if not required. Because true becoming asks not what is expected, but what is necessary. And sometimes, the only way to unmask the final illusion… is to let it burn you completely.
