Scene 1 — Morning After the Hum
The morning light in Spectrum Academy of Echoes was softer than usual — as if the dawn itself hesitated.Mist clung to the courtyards, glowing faintly with hues of blue and gold.
Lyra sat near the edge of the fountain, Lumi curled in her lap.Its tail shimmered pale silver — calm, but tired.She hadn't slept. None of them had.
Seren approached quietly, a half-empty cup of tea in hand.Zephyr perched on his shoulder, eyes flicking toward the mist.
Seren (softly): "The hum's stopped."Lyra: "Stopped… or waiting?"
Their eyes met. Neither spoke more.In the reflection of the water, faint ripples of violet glimmered — almost invisible.
Scene 2 — The Report to Archon Veyra
Later that morning, all three — Lyra, Seren, and Nyra — stood in the Headmistress's tower.The circular room was filled with floating glass prisms, each humming with a faint color note.At the center, Archon Veyra stood by the mirror — its surface swirling faintly like liquid light.
Veyra (measured): "You broke a seal that hasn't stirred in two centuries."Seren (calmly): "We didn't break it. It was already weakening. We just…"Nyra (quietly): "…answered it."
The mirror flashed violet for a brief moment, and Veyra's eyes shifted — from their usual silver to deep blue.
Veyra: "The seventh sigil represents a resonance that was sealed — not destroyed.Long before this academy was built, there were seven bearers… but one disappeared — erased from all records."
Lyra frowned, stepping forward.
Lyra: "Erased? How do you erase someone's color?"Veyra: "By making the world forget it existed."
Silence. Even Lumi's soft bell-chime stopped.
Veyra (turning to them): "Whatever stirs below isn't evil — it's memory.But memory, when left buried too long, twists into shadow."
Before they could ask more, the door opened — Professor Nelys entered, clutching a stack of scrolls.
Nelys (excited): "Archon, I found something — records from the Old Codex! The seventh sigil's rune… it's not destruction. It means Echo."Veyra (under her breath): "Then the prophecy might still hold…"
Scene 3 — The Echo Rune
Later that day, Lyra and Seren examined the copied runes in the study hall.They pulsed faintly under the light — not just marks, but living patterns, shifting like small waves.
Lyra: "These lines… they're shaped like music notes."Seren: "Not just music — frequencies. Each sigil represents a tone.The seventh one — the Echo — is the tone of reflection."
He tapped one rune. The air shimmered — a faint hum vibrated in their chests.Lumi's fur flared bright blue, and Zephyr's wings twitched, scattering tiny motes of windlight.
Then suddenly — the rune responded.
A flash of violet erupted from the paper, forming a brief illusion:a silhouette of a person cloaked in shifting shadow — faceless, yet graceful.
Voice (echoing): "You called my song… but do you remember its end?"
The vision faded.Lyra gasped — clutching her chest. Her heartbeat had matched the same tone.
Lyra (trembling): "That voice… I've heard it before. In my dreams."Seren (concerned): "You mean — the one in white light?"Lyra (nodding): "Yes. The one who said: Tell them I'm not gone."
They both fell silent.
Across the hall, Nyra stood by the window — pretending not to listen,but her hand gripped her arm tightly, her aura flickering faint violet.
Scene 4 — Nyra's Unease
That evening, Nyra trained alone in the Resonance Yard — the moonlight cutting silver through the fog.Her daggers glimmered with faint runes, but her control faltered. Every strike sent black sparks across the ground.
Nyra (to herself): "Why does that voice sound like mine…?"
She closed her eyes.A faint hum filled her mind — that same low melody from the catacombs.Only now, it whispered words she could almost understand.
"Shadow isn't absence… it's memory of light."
Her breath hitched.The mark on her left wrist — the one she always hid — glowed faint violet, pulsing in rhythm.
Nyra (startled): "No… no, it can't be…"
Then — a soft sound.Lumi appeared beside her, followed by Lyra, her expression calm but serious.
Lyra: "You felt it too, didn't you?"Nyra: "I don't know what I felt. But it's… inside me. That same resonance."Lyra (gently): "Maybe it's not trying to harm you. Maybe it's calling through you."
Nyra looked away.For the first time, her usual calm mask broke — her eyes shimmering faintly with fear.
Nyra: "If that's true… then I'm not who I thought I was."Lyra (softly): "Then maybe none of us are. Not yet."
Scene 5 — The Secret Beneath
That night, the three sneaked once again to the sealed chamber —only this time, the sigils were already glowing.
All seven.
And the seventh — the violet one — pulsed faintly every few seconds, as if breathing.
Seren (awe-struck): "It's reacting to us again."Lyra: "No… to her."
Nyra stepped forward, her aura flickering faintly violet-black.The sigil brightened in response — a low hum spreading through the floor.
Without warning, the stone cracked open beneath their feet.They fell — not far — into a narrower chamber hidden beneath the sigil vault.
It was small, circular, and in the center stood a crystal — shaped like a heart, made of fractured violet glass.Around it, faint echoes of musical notation shimmered in midair.
Lyra (whispering): "This… this is the source of the Song of Seven."Seren: "And the seventh verse was sealed away."
Nyra approached it slowly.As she touched the crystal — it pulsed once — and a fragment of memory flooded her mind.
Scene 6 — Memory of the Forgotten Bearer
She saw flashes:A battlefield drenched in colors,Six figures standing under a dying sky,and a seventh — cloaked in shadow — raising their hands as the others turned away.
Voice (faint): "I will take the darkness, so the light may live."
Then — silence.The vision shattered.
Nyra fell to her knees, trembling.Lyra caught her just before she collapsed.
Lyra (panicked): "Nyra! What did you see?"Nyra (breathing hard): "Her. The seventh bearer.But she didn't fall into shadow — she became it… so the others could survive."
Scene 7 — The Realization
Back in the tower, Veyra and the mysterious teacher sensed the same pulse ripple through the air.Crystals on their desk cracked slightly — violet light seeping out.
Mysterious Teacher (quietly): "So the shadow remembers her song."Veyra: "And the girl?"Mysterious Teacher: "She carries the echo — but the echo is not the same as the bearer. But her soul hums with the same echo."
Scene 8 — Lyra's Reflection
Later, Lyra stood on the academy balcony, looking out over the faintly glowing horizon.She could still feel the resonance of the violet pulse in her chest — faint but warm.
Lyra (to Lumi): "Every time we think we've reached the end of one color… another starts singing."
Lumi chirped softly — its tail glowing both blue and violet at once.
Lyra (smiling faintly): "Maybe that's what the Song of Seven really is…Not just unity of colors — but remembering what was forgotten."
She looked up at the sky —where, just for a moment, a faint ring of seven lights shimmered across the clouds.
