Whispers Beneath the Moon
Outside the palace, under the gentle silver hue of moonlight…
Sang sat slouched on a cold stone bench, his body trembling, fingers clenched tightly around his head. The weight of his thoughts made his breathing shallow.
Sang (whispering):
"Why… what is wrong with me…? Why do I keep seeing these visions…? And that name… why does it haunt me?"
Suddenly, a voice echoed around him — deep, elusive, and resonating like a shadow slipping between worlds.
Mysterious Voice:
"Why are you upset… Don't you want to know who you truly are?"
Sang's head snapped up. The forest around him was quiet — just shadows, trees, and the faint silhouette of huts.
Sang (angrily standing):
"Who are you?! Show yourself! Stop whispering from the dark — come out and say it to my face!"
Voice (chuckling):
"So you're telling me what to do now? Brave. But are you brave enough to face what's inside your heart?"
Sang's eyes widened — the voice knew.
Sang (shaken):
"How… how do you know that…?"
Voice:
"Come. Find me… if you dare."
The bushes rustled. A path revealed itself in the darkness, beckoning. Sang stood slowly and stepped forward into the unknown.
The Book of Shadows in Libru
Deep within the ancient library of Libru…
Vilgrim held a dust-covered tome. Its ink had faded with time, the title barely legible.
Vilgrim (whispers):
"Fearful Clan… Kthai Clan…"
The old librarian approached, hunched and gentle.
Old Man:
"Ah… so you found it. Though it's thin — many pages were lost in the fire. That book barely survived."
Vilgrim sat at the old stone table, flipping through the fragile pages.
Vilgrim (quietly, almost to himself):
"Why does this name echo in my head… Keyokthai… Shammroy…"
He read:
Text in Book:
"Kthai Clan — the most feared and undefeated. Born from power. Forged in legacy. Berukthai, the first of them, ruled the Abyssal Nexus… a god among mortals… until the day fate changed everything…"
Suddenly, the remaining pages turned black — scorched, smeared, unreadable.
Vilgrim (slams the book):
"No… What happened that day?! Why is it hidden?!"
Old Man (sighing):
"There might be more, or… perhaps someone who remembers. A man even older than me. He swallowed history."
Before Vilgrim could respond, his knight approached.
Knight:
"We must leave, my King."
Vilgrim (frowns):
"Why now?"
Knight:
"The meeting is held… but not at the court."
Vilgrim (suspicious):
"Then where…?"
The screen fades — the answer left in silence.
Broken Hearts in the Palace
Inside the grand palace, laughter from the party had faded into a hollow calm.
Sylin stood apart from the group — her eyes hollow, her voice missing.
Mohiran:
"Sylin…? What's wrong?"
She said nothing. Her silence pulled the group into unease.
Eldrin approached with concern.
Eldrin:
"Sylin? Are you alright?"
Sylin (softly, broken):
"He left me… Sang just walked away… I thought I finally understood him… but I was wrong."
Silence fell. Lohirian clenched his jaw.
Lohirian:
"How could he do that?"
Upanor:
"What's wrong with Sang lately?"
All eyes turned to Rakhad and Zoick.
Rohdan:
"You two know him better than anyone. Tell us… does Sang love someone else?"
Rakhad shook his head.
Rakhad:
"I… I'm not that close to him. Ask Zoick."
Zoick opened his mouth — but before he could answer…
A Reunion of Legends
A booming voice interrupted the palace tension:
Ziron (off-screen):
"It's been a long time, my old friend… Eldrin."
All heads turned toward the entrance — where eleven figures walked in under the moonlight. Eldrin's face lit up in disbelief and joy.
Eldrin (rushing forward):
"Ziron…!"
They embraced — a reunion of old war-bound friends.
Ziron (grinning):
"You think I wouldn't find you? I sent little Kaein as my spy!"
Kaizer (mock grin):
"Don't tell me you forgot me, Gramps Eld!"
Eldrin (laughing):
"Kaizer?! You've grown stronger than ever!"
Introductions were exchanged. Warriors from both sides admired one another.
Kaizer, however, noticed Sylin's state.
Kaizer (to Azira):
"What's wrong with her?"
Azira (sadly):
"She… lost her love."
Kaizer (in disbelief):
"Who'd be dumb enough to lose someone like her?!"
Kaein interrupted with a spark of excitement.
Kaein:
"These are the ones who fought Werner! That means… our king was with them!"
Ziron (chuckling):
"Yes. We've reached our destiny."
Celia:
"King? Who are you referring to?"
Lyra:
"Who… is your king?"
Suddenly, Arkhar's voice roared:
Arkhar:
"KEYOKTHAI SHAMMROY!"
The room fell into stunned silence. Rakhad and Zoick froze.
Rakhad (in a whisper):
"That's… the same name Sang Jaey kept whispering…"
Zoick (nodding slowly):
"We thought he was hallucinating…"
Kaizer (serious):
"Sang Jaey… You're talking about our king?"
Everyone turned.
Eldrin (solemnly):
"Yes. Sang… is Keyokthai Shammroy."
Sylin stumbled back in disbelief.
Sylin (heartbroken):
"What… what are you talking about…? Sang? A… king?"
Kaizer stepped forward, his tone noble.
Kaizer:
"Not just a king. The Dominion King. The name that once shook the stars."
Levi blinked, confused.
Levi:
"I don't understand…"
Bane:
"Kaizer — you said earlier, what you want to say to us , when we reach to the palace. "
Kaizer's tone darkened.
Kaizer:
" There were two names you shouldn't dare to raise infront of our king. One is 'Angel'..."
He paused. Then Ziron and Eldrin said the second name together:
Ziron & Eldrin (in unison):
"SEYOKTHAI."
