Episode 26 — Lee’s Honesty
The logo of the series emerged within a cosmic storm.
Fragments of the ship flashed by — Lee training, Leon meditating, and Lara gazing silently at the giant moon outside the viewport. For a brief instant, the shadow of the God Kairós appeared intertwined with the Krizardian symbol.
The opening ended with a close view of Leon’s piercing yellow eyes.
Training Room
Lee stood at the center of the reinforced chamber, arms crossed, watching Leon struggle with his techniques.
Leon attacked again.
A wave of water shot forward — and missed the target completely.
Lee countered instantly. A controlled burst of fire struck the ground near Leon’s feet, making him stumble backward.
“Focus, Leon!” Lee said sharply. “Power isn’t just brute force. It’s mind and heart working together.”
Leon clenched his fists but didn’t answer.
Lee narrowed his eyes.
“You’re not sleeping… are you? Or is something else distracting you?”
Leon looked down and remained silent, attempting another attack with little conviction.
Lee sighed quietly.
Something was wrong.
Conversation
The door slid open softly.
Lara stepped inside and stopped behind Leon.

“Leon… what’s wrong?” she asked gently. “You’ve been avoiding me.”
Leon looked up awkwardly.
“It’s nothing. Lee and I have just been training a lot.”
He hesitated.
Then, forcing the words out:
“How… is the wedding? Is there a date?”
Lara gave a faint, sad smile.
“No. And I don’t want one.”
Leon looked away.
“It’s your family’s tradition… I know you don’t want this.”
“It’s more than that,” she said quietly. “My mother is pushing it. There’s politics behind it. I can’t just run away.”
At that moment, Darian appeared at the entrance.
“Lara. We need to talk.”
Leon glanced at her.
She returned the look — silent understanding passing between them.
“I’ll leave,” Leon said, walking past him without another word.
Lara watched him go, her thoughts unsettled.
Night
The organization slept.
Yet a heavy atmosphere spread through the corridors, as if something unseen breathed within the ship itself.
Lee sat on his bed, staring out the window at the stars.
He spoke quietly, almost embarrassed by his own words.
“Since Leon arrived… nothing has made sense. Prophecies… gods… destiny…”
He lowered his head.
“I don’t believe in divinities. But if this Creator exists… talk to me.”
He lay down and closed his eyes.
Darkness came.
Then light.
The Dream
Lee found himself standing in a vast white space.
A figure stood before him.
Jesus.
“You called me, Lee,” the figure said gently. “I am glad.”
Lee froze.
“I will tell you what you must do.”
Images appeared around them — Lara… Leon… battles in the heavens.
“Lara cannot marry Darian. Do everything you can to stop it. I have plans for both her and Leon.”
Lee listened silently.
“Yes, the Creator exists,” Jesus continued. “He is silent because evil has reached its limit. He does not wish to erase creation… but He no longer sees integrity in His creatures.”
Lee’s expression tightened.
“What is happening inside the organization is connected to Leon. He cannot handle his feelings. He loves your sister… but he refuses to interfere. That conflict destabilizes him.”
Lee’s eyes widened slightly.
“Resolve this.”
A pause.
“I know you can,” Jesus said calmly. “As I am with him, I will also be with you.”
Light intensified around them.
“I will place you in the highest command of the organization. Be strong. Be faithful. Seek me — and I will give you far more.”
The light vanished.
Awakening
Lee opened his eyes suddenly.
He was back in his room.
His breathing was steady… but his gaze had changed.
Determination.
He stood and walked toward the window, staring at the endless stars beyond the ship.
His hands slowly clenched.
A faint red aura pulsed around him.
The future had just begun to move.
The screen faded to black.
