I’M ALL YOURS

[Scene: Frostline Wastes – Two Days Later]

FX: Cold wind moans through hollow peaks. Ice cracks underfoot. Snow falls in slanted sheets. ❄️🌨️

[Visual: Elara and Kaelith climb the last ridge of the mountain. Below, a half-buried structure of black glass and white metal juts out of the cliffside like a broken fang.]

Elara (thinking):

"This is it. I've never seen it before… but my hands know the cold."

"My bones remember."

[Kaelith lowers his scope, eyes narrowing.]

[Kaelith]:

"Still has power. I see flickers behind the glass. Motion sensors, maybe."

[Elara (breath visible)]:

"No alarms. No guards. Like it wants us to walk in."

[They descend carefully — weapons drawn.]

[Scene: Exterior Entrance – Soulforge Archive C-R05]

FX: A small console flickers to life as Elara nears. The screen glitches. Then shows a blinking message:

"Welcome back, Ariyenna."

[Elara freezes. Kaelith steps in front of her instinctively.]

[Kaelith]:

"Let me go first."

[Elara (softly)]:

"No. It's already looking for me."

[She places her hand on the scanner.]

[FX: Hiss— The steel door slides open, revealing a dark hallway lined with cracked lights and bloodless walls.]

[Visual: Lights flicker on one by one. Dust floats like ash.]

[Scene: Archive Interior – Entrance Hall]

FX: Their boots echo down the corridor. On the walls: murals. Not art — screens playing loops.

[Elara stops in front of one.]

*[Visual: A younger girl, strapped to a metal chair. Her hair is white. Eyes closed. A title overlays the footage: "Subject: ARIYENNA – FINAL ITERATION."]

[Kaelith]:

"Elara… that's you."

[Elara] (whispering):

"No. That's her."

[She steps closer.]

The girl twitches. Screams.

But no sound plays.

Just the word:

"Stabilized."

Then:

"Willing."

[Scene: Further in – Memory Storage Wing]

They pass more screens. Names. Faces. Failed tests. Other Soulforged — all marked "TERMINATED."

Then one screen goes black — and flickers to life as Elara passes.

[Voice — soft, clinical]:

"Ariyenna: emotional resilience exceeds prediction. Loyalty protocols active. Memory barriers holding."

[Kaelith (gritting teeth)]:

"They built you to love your master."

[Elara (jaw clenched)]:

"No. They built me to die for him."

[Scene: Final Hallway – Core Chamber Door]

They reach a sealed blast door. A handprint scanner glows.

Elara doesn't hesitate. She places her hand on it.

[FX: THUD. The door slides halfway open… then stops.]

From inside: whispers. Mechanical breathing. A low hum.

[Kaelith grips his blade.]

[Kaelith]:

"We're not alone in there."

[Elara] (eyes narrow):

"I think I left something behind."

[Visual: They slip through the half-open door. Inside is a vast room of glass tubes — all empty… except one.]

It still holds something.

[FX: HISS — the last tube releases steam.]

Inside floats a girl.

She looks like Elara — same face, same hair — but her eyes are wide open. Unblinking. Hollow.

Kaelith (whispering):

"What the hell is that?"

[Voice — not from the speakers, but from the girl in the tube]:

"Echo linked. Primary core… breached."

[Visual: The girl's body jerks. Then smiles.]

"Ariyenna… you finally came back to finish us."

[Elara steps forward, stunned.]

[Elara]:

"I don't remember you."

[Echo Girl]:

"You were never meant to. That's why they made me."

[The glass explodes outward.]

[FX: SHATTER— The girl lands barefoot, standing perfectly.]

She looks exactly like Elara.

But smiles like Mordain.
