The Starlet & the Protector
The Awakening
(Amara finishes her concert. She texts Kael backstage.)
Amara Solène
Kael, where are you? The crowd is wild tonight.
Amara Solène
Seriously? "Seen"? You’re my bodyguard, not my ghost.
Kael Drayven
[typing…] I’m at the back exit. It’s safer.
Kael Drayven
Stay in your dressing room until I get you.
Amara Solène
The fans are waiting, though!
Amara Solène
Just one wave? A quick selfie?
Kael Drayven
No. It’s too dangerous.
Amara Solène
🙄 You're so dramatic. What's the worst that could happen?
(Suddenly, the lights in the dressing room flicker. Amara sends a voice note.)
Amara Solène
Kael… is this some kind of prank? The lights—oh my god, the mirror just cracked!
Kael Drayven
Amara. Don’t. Move.
(Kael bursts into the dressing room moments later.)
Amara Solène
What the hell is going on? First the lights, now this weird energy—it's like the room's alive.
Kael Drayven
…It’s starting.
Amara Solène
What’s starting?
Kael Drayven
[pauses] Your awakening
