CHAPTER 6- RUINS OF OBSIDIAN! HERO !

INT. RUINS NEAR OBSIDIAN FRONTIER - DAY

The camera pans across a desolate landscape, revealing a small group of survivors huddled around a makeshift campfire. Eren Jaeger, a young man with piercing blue eyes and an unwavering determination, stands at the center, his gaze fixed on the horizon. Lyra Winters, a skilled warrior with a calm and composed demeanor, sits beside him, her hand resting on her sword. Seraphine, a wise and aged woman with a knowing smile, sits nearby, her eyes scanning the sky. The sky is overcast, with a strange, blood-red aurora pulsing in the distance, casting an eerie glow over the ruins.

SERAPHINE (voiceover, over the sound of wind)

The Heart of Ruin may be gone, but its curse lives on. The essence of the first god has been released into the world.

Eren looks up, sensing something strange. A pull, as if an invisible force is drawing him eastward. His eyes widen with a mixture of fear and determination.

EREN (to Lyra)

Do you feel that?

LYRA (concerned)

Something's coming.

Seraphine stands, her expression growing solemn.

SERAPHINE

It's not just something. It's Kael'thar. The Devourer of Light.

INT. TRIBE CAMP - NIGHT

The camp is alive with whispers and murmurs. Survivors gather around a flickering fire, their faces illuminated by its dim light. Thorne, a burly man with weathered skin, speaks up, his voice carrying a note of urgency.

THORNE

Have you all seen it? The shadow in the east. It's devouring the light.

Mira, a woman with sharp features and a haunted look, adds, her voice trembling slightly.

MIRA

They say it's Kael'thar. One of the Five Gods of Calamity. The prophecy speaks of a chosen vessel, someone who will bring him back.

A murmur of fear and unease spreads through the camp. The firelight flickers, casting eerie shadows on the faces of the survivors.

SURVIVOR 1

Is it Eren?

SURVIVOR 2

He's the only one with the mark.

Thorne looks at Lyra, his expression stern.

THORNE

We have to stop him. If Kael'thar is released, there will be nothing left but darkness.

---

EXT. WASTELANDS - DAY

Eren, Lyra, and Seraphine ride through the barren wastelands, their horses stumbling over rocky terrain. The air is thick with an ominous energy, and the landscape is haunted by the echoes of ancient battles. Seraphine, her face etched with lines of wisdom, turns to Eren.

SERAPHINE

The Dead Peaks lie to the east. That's where Kael'thar's prison was hidden. But the path is treacherous. The ruins are cursed, and the land itself will try to stop us.

Eren glances at Lyra, his eyes filled with a mix of determination and uncertainty.

EREN

We'll find a way.

Lyra nods, her grip on her sword tightening.

LYRA

We will.

As they continue, the landscape shifts and twists, as if the very earth is resisting their presence. The sky darkens, and a storm of black fire begins to rage in the distance.

---

INT. CAMP - NIGHT

Eren lies on his back, breathing heavily, his skin glowing faintly with a dark energy. Lyra sits beside him, holding his hand, her face filled with concern.

LYRA

You're different. I can feel it. The power you're wielding... it's changing you.

Eren opens his eyes, his gaze distant and unfocused. He sits up, clutching his head.

EREN

It's the ruin energy. It's not just power. It's... it's consuming me.

Seraphine enters the tent, her eyes filled with a troubled expression.

SERAPHINE

I've seen this before. The power you wield is amplifying something dark. It's the essence of Kael'thar.

Lyra's eyes widen in horror.

LYRA

What do we do?

Seraphine places a hand on Eren's shoulder, her voice steady but grave.

SERAPHINE

We must find a way to seal it. But first, we must reach the Dead Peaks.

---

EXT. DEAD PEAKS - DAY

The trio stands at the foot of the imposing Dead Peaks, a mountain range shrouded in an eternal eclipse. The air is cold and thick, and the landscape is eerie, with shadows that seem to move on their own. They are surrounded by a fanatical cult, their eyes burning with a fanaticism. The High Seer, Varron, steps forward, his voice booming like a prophet.

HIGH SEER VARON

You are The Living Heart. Chosen by the gods to awaken the power of Kael'thar.

Eren takes a step forward, his eyes blazing with a mix of defiance and fear. Lyra and Seraphine exchange a worried glance.

EREN

I will not be your vessel.

VARON

Then you will die.

A brutal battle erupts as the cultists attack. Lyra and Seraphine fight off wave after wave of enemies, their movements precise and deadly. Eren, however, is consumed by the ruin energy. His body begins to glow, and his powers grow uncontrollable.

---

INT. CAMP - NIGHT

Lyra is kneeling beside Eren, who lies on the ground, his eyes glowing red and his breath coming in ragged gasps. Seraphine stands over them, chanting a sealing incantation in a low, rhythmic tone.

SERAPHINE

Quietus, tenebrae, silete!

Suddenly, the ground begins to shake, and a deep, rumbling voice booms through the mountains.

Kael'thar

(voice echoing in the mind of every survivor)

I am the Devourer. The light will die.

Eren's body begins to convulse, the ruin energy coursing through him like a wildfire. Lyra and Seraphine struggle to hold him down, but the energy is too strong.

---

EXT. MOUNTAIN PEAK - DAY

Kael'thar bursts from the ground, a massive obsidian hand tearing through the earth. The mountains tremble, and the sky darkens as the god's presence bends reality. The light dies, the air freezes, and even the shadows seem to scream in pain.

KAEL'THAR

(voice booming, echoing across the land)

I am the Devourer. I will consume all light.

Eren's ruin mark burns, the god's energy recognizing him as kin. Lyra and Seraphine look at each other, their faces filled with a mixture of horror and determination.

---

INT. CAMP - NIGHT

Eren stands in the center of the camp, surrounded by black energy. His eyes are red, and his body is glowing with a dark power. Lyra and Seraphine stand before him, their hands trembling as they try to reach out.

LYRA

Eren! Come back to us!

EREN

(voice strained, echoing with the god's presence)

I can't... it's too strong.

Seraphine raises her hands, chanting a sealing incantation.

SERAPHINE

Quiesco, tenebrae, requiescat!

The energy surrounding Eren begins to fade, but it is too late. Kael'thar's roar shatters the spell, and the god's presence overwhelms the camp.

---

EXT. MOUNTAIN PEAK - DAY

Kael'thar stands at the peak, his vast form towering over the landscape. The mountains tremble, and the landscape is consumed by darkness. The survivors, who had been watching from afar, fall to their knees, their eyes filled with fear.

KAEL'THAR

(voice booming)

I am the Devourer. The world will be mine.

Eren's eyes close, and he collapses to the ground, his body drained of energy. Lyra and Seraphine stand over him, their faces filled with sorrow and determination.

---

FADE TO BLACK

The screen fades to black, leaving the audience with a haunting sense of impending doom. The credits roll, accompanied by a haunting, epic score that echoes the darkness and despair of the world.
