Awakening of the Storm
Noah
Hey Ethan, are you ready for today's training? We’ve got to get you in shape if you’re going to keep up with me
Ethan
Maybe... something doesn’t feel right today. I can’t shake it.
Noah
What do you mean? Are you feeling sick? We’ve got work to do!
Ethan
No... it’s like the air is... heavier. Like something’s coming
Noah
Rolls eyes You and your overactive imagination. Come on, get up. Let’s go!
Suddenly, a scream echoes through the village...
Ethan
Stands up, eyes wide Noah... something’s really wrong.
Noah
*Grabs his sword* I’ll take care of it. Don’t worry, I’m ready for anything.
The sky darkens as the ground begins to shake...
Noah
What the hell is happening? looks around, panic setting in Where are the villagers?
Ethan
*Whispers* We’re not prepared for this...
Dravin ( village chief)
Noah, Ethan! Get to the gates, now! We need to defend the village!
Noah
*Grabs Ethan’s arm* Let’s go! We’ll be fine. We’ve trained for this!
Ethan
I hope you’re right... *hesitates*
The villagers rush to prepare defenses, Noah and Ethan following close behind.
Ethan
Stops suddenly, feeling a presence Wait... Noah, do you hear that?
Noah
Pauses, confused Hear what? You’re starting to sound crazy again.
Ethan
Frowning, staring toward the horizon That... sound. It’s... different.
The distant roar of demons reaches their ears. A shadow looms in the distance...
Noah
*Turns to see the horde of devils* WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?
Ethan
Wide-eyed It's worse than I thought... We’re not going to win this.
Dravin ( village chief)
The demons are here. Prepare yourself. Fight for your lives! We cannot let them take our village! *determined*
Ethan
*Grips his chest* This isn't just an army. This... this is the end.
The battle rages on. Noah fights fiercely at the front, while Ethan stands back, his senses tingling with unease. Suddenly, Ethan’s body reacts to the surge of energy around him...
Noah
Fighting, yelling They’re too strong! Ethan, stay back!
Ethan closes his eyes, a strange warmth bubbling inside him. He can’t control it... until it bursts out.
Ethan
Yells NO! I won’t let them take us! a massive shockwave explodes from Ethan, knocking down demons and shaking the ground
Noah
Stunned Ethan? What... just happened?
The demons fall, and the village falls silent. Only Ethan remains standing, breathing heavily, his eyes wide with shock.
Dravin ( village chief)
Looking around, stunned It... it’s over. But... who did this?
Noah
Looks at Ethan, confused It wasn’t me... I... didn’t do this.
Ethan
Softly It was me... But I... didn’t mean to... shaking This power... it’s too much.
The villagers look at Noah, but their eyes fall on Ethan, who stands among the devastation, his body trembling from the sheer force of what he’s just unleashed.
Village residents
Whispering It must have been Noah... he’s always been the strongest. Right?
Noah
Looking at Ethan, then back at the villagers No. It wasn’t me. It was... pauses Ethan.
The confusion lingers as the villagers start to murmur. Noah stands in the background, while Ethan, the true hero, begins to understand the weight of what he’s just don
Ethan
Looking at the destruction around *him, whispering to himself*
I didn’t mean for this to happen... Why me?
The village is left in silence, the sky dark above them as the consequences of Ethan’s power begin to take shape...
