I’M ALL YOURS

[Scene: Varos – Upper Watchtower – Night Before the March]

FX: Wind whispering over ancient stone, distant chanting in the temple halls 🌬️🕯️

[Visual: Elara stands on a balcony, her soulblade hovering beside her — not held, just… following her, as if alive.]

[Kaelith] (stepping up beside her):

"We leave at dawn."

[Elara] (nodding, eyes distant):

"He's already watching. I can feel him every time I close my eyes."

Elara (thinking):

"Lucien is no longer a man. But I'm not quite human either."

[Kaelith]:

"You're calm."

[Elara]:

"No. I've just made peace with whatever happens next."

He hands her a folded cloth — inside is her old cloak, stitched and restored.

[Kaelith] (quiet):

"I kept it. Figured you might need it for tomorrow."

[Elara] (smiles faintly):

"I'm not that girl anymore."

[Kaelith]:

"Maybe not. But she's still part of you."

[Scene Shift: Temple of Forgotten Names — Midnight]

[Visual: An old sanctuary buried in the lowest chamber of Varos. Candles float without flame. A mirror sits at the altar, but it shows no reflection.]

[Auren waits outside the door, arms crossed.]

[Auren]:

"Someone came down here an hour ago asking for you."

[Elara] (frowning):

"Who?"

Auren opens the door.

Inside stands an old woman, hunched, with glowing white eyes. She holds a silver pendant — the same shape as Elara's old soulmark.

[Mysterious Woman]:

"You don't remember me."

[Elara]:

"No… but the way you're shaking, you remember me."

[Mysterious Woman] (softly):

"I was your nurse. The day they took you."

FX: Flash — a memory hits Elara like a shockwave. ⚡

[Memory Visual: A four-year-old Elara, laughing, holding a wooden sword. A pair of royal guards grab her. A woman screams her name — "Lira!" — before being dragged away.]

[Elara] (voice trembling):

"…My name was Lira."

[Woman]:

"Yes. Before the chains. Before the ritual. You were Lira Thorne. Daughter of the skyborn."

Elara (thinking):

"Not a weapon. Not a relic. A child once, with a name and a future."

[The woman places the pendant in her hand.]

[Woman]:

"It was your mother's. She died trying to stop them from taking you."

[Scene: Outside the temple — Kaelith watches through a crack in the stone]

He sees Elara — knees on the floor, holding the pendant to her chest.

He doesn't interrupt.

[Later — Elara walks out, face unreadable, but her aura different.]

[Kaelith]:

"You okay?"

[Elara]:

"No. But I remember now."

She ties the pendant to the hilt of her soulblade.

[Final Montage – As Dawn Breaks]

[Visuals in slow motion, anime-style:]

Auren addressing rebel generals, red banners unfurling

Elara sharpening her blade with glowing runes

Kaelith whispering a prayer to no god

Citizens of Varos placing blue lights in the streets, silently watching their protectors prepare

[Elara] (voiceover):

"Lucien believes he's rising above fate."

"But fate isn't something you escape…"

[She turns toward the camera, cloak flaring in the wind.]

[Elara]:

"It's something you choose to rewrite."
