[Page 1 Ruins of Yesterday]
Wide shot: a broken training ground. Wind stirs ash and cracked earth.
Narrator:
Ash and Luna are gone.
But Im still here. Breathing... and breaking.
Kai walks alone through the rubble. His eyes are dull, voice silent. His hands tremble.
[Page 2 Flashbacks in Fragments]
He sees flashesLunas illusions, Ashs flame, their smiles. Then their final battle. Screams. Light.
Silence.
Kai (internal):
I should have chosen.
I should have done something.
[Page 3 The Hollow Temptation]
Night falls. Shadows deepen. A figure slithers from the darknesslong, faceless, moving like silk.
It whispers without a mouth.
Void: Why ache for what is lost... when you could forget it all?
Kai backs away.
Void (seductive):
Give me your sorrow. Let go. Sacrifice.
Kai (quietly):
No.
The shadow cracks... then vanishes like smoke.
[Page 4 The Vein Temptation]
A soft light pierces the night. A glowing, angelic form hovers-face veiled, voice like bells.
Seraph:
You suffered what no child should bear.
You can carry it all. Endure. Let me bless you.
Kai drops to his knees.
Kai (whispers):
I cant...
Seraph (gently):
You must.
Kai lifts his head, eyes wet but not broken.
Kai:
No... I wont.
The light fades.
[Page 5 Collapse]
Kai alone again. He collapses at a shrine they built together. Hands pressed against cold stone.
He speaks:
Kai:
I lost them.
I hated them.
I loved them.
[Page 6 Acceptance]
Tears fall.
Kai (internal):
I dont want to forget.
I dont want to carry it all.
I just... want to remember.
A stillness spreads. Thenlight. Raw, pulsing light from his chest. It floods the night sky.
[Page 7 Embraced Awakens]
Visions appear flickers of Ash and Luna, smiling faintly in the light.
Kai floats slightly, glowing.
Narrator:
He gave nothing.
Endured nothing.
But accepted everything.
[Page 8 Birth of a New Path]
A ring of light surrounds him part shadow, part flame, part truth.
Voice (unknown, vast):
You remembered.
You refused.
You accepted.
His eyes glow with new power.
Narrator:
And so...
The first Embraced in generations was born
