Episode 1: "The Shadow FallsEpisode

Opening Scene: A Peaceful Village

(Fade in: A serene mountain village, Shadow Haven, surrounded by lush green forests. Villagers are busy with their daily chores—children playing, elders chatting. The camera pans to a clearing where Raiyoma is practicing ninjutsu techniques, sweat glistening on his brow.)

Hiro (standing nearby, arms crossed)

"You’re getting better, Rai. But your stance is still sloppy."

Raiyoma (grinning, panting)

"I’ll surpass you soon, big brother. Just wait and see!"

(Hiro chuckles, walking over to fix Raiyoma’s posture.)

Hiro (smiling)

"It’s not just about strength. Discipline and heart—that’s what makes a true warrior."

(The brothers share a laugh. Suddenly, a cold wind sweeps through the village. The camera shifts to the horizon, where a dark mist begins to creep over the mountains. Villagers pause, looking around uneasily.)

Scene 2: The Eclipse Descends

(The sun dims unnaturally, casting eerie shadows over the village. Birds stop chirping. A low rumble grows louder, shaking the ground.)

Villager 1 (pointing at the sky)

"What’s happening?"

Villager 2 (panicked)

"The sun... it’s disappearing!"

(The camera tilts upward to reveal a massive Eclipse Titan descending from the blackened sky. Its towering frame casts a shadow over the entire village, its glowing red eyes menacing. The Titan roars, shattering the silence.)

Villager 3 (screaming)

"Run! It’s a monster!"

(Chaos erupts. The Titan begins destroying houses, its massive arms crushing everything in its path. People scatter, screaming.)

Hiro (stepping forward, voice commanding)

"Everyone, to the caves! Raiyoma, take the children and elders to safety!"

Raiyoma (hesitating)

"But Hiro—"

Hiro (cutting him off)

"Go, Rai! That’s an order!"

(Raiyoma clenches his fists, nods reluctantly, and begins leading a group of villagers toward the forest. Hiro turns to face the Titan, his expression resolute.)

(Hiro performs intricate hand seals, summoning a powerful ninjutsu attack that temporarily staggers the Titan. The fight begins.)

Scene 3: A Brother’s Sacrifice

(Raiyoma glances back as he guides the villagers to safety. His heart pounds as he sees Hiro battling the Titan, his attacks swift and precise.)

Raiyoma (to himself)

"You can do it, Hiro... You have to!"

(Despite Hiro’s skill, the Titan’s sheer strength begins to overpower him. The monster delivers a devastating blow, sending Hiro crashing to the ground.)

Hiro (shouting with his last strength)

"Live, Raiyoma! Protect them!"

(Raiyoma freezes in shock. He screams in anguish and tries to run back, but a hooded figure—Kaina—grabs him.)

Raiyoma (struggling)

"Let me go! I have to save him!"

Kaina (firmly)

"If you go back, you’ll die too. You can’t help him now."

Raiyoma (tears streaming)

"But he’s my brother!"

Kaina (softening but urgent)

"Honor his sacrifice by living. If you want revenge, you’ll need to fight smarter, not harder. Come with me."

(Raiyoma hesitates, his grief consuming him. Finally, he allows Kaina to pull him away. The screen cuts to Hiro’s fallen body as the Titan roars, triumphant.)

Scene 4: The Journey Begins

(Night falls. The camera shows Raiyoma and Kaina standing on a hill overlooking the ruins of Shadow Haven. The once-vibrant village is now a smoldering wasteland.)

Raiyoma (kneeling, voice shaking)

"I couldn’t save him. I couldn’t save anyone..."

Kaina (placing a hand on his shoulder)

"The Eclipse Titans are ancient forces of destruction. You couldn’t have stopped them—not yet."

(Raiyoma looks up, his grief slowly giving way to determination.)

Raiyoma (gritting his teeth)

"Then tell me how. Tell me how I can fight them."

Kaina (nodding)

"There’s a way. The Genesis Grimoire—a power that can rival the Titans. But the journey will be long and dangerous. Are you willing to do whatever it takes?"

Raiyoma (standing, fists clenched)

"I’ll do whatever it takes. Hiro’s sacrifice won’t be in vain."

(Kaina smiles faintly, her eyes gleaming with determination. Together, they turn away from the ruins and walk into the dark forest. The faint glow of the eclipse illuminates their path as the screen fades to black.)
