Reborn to Rule the Shadows
Episode 2: Whispers in the Dark
An endless, heavy silence, broken only by the distant sound of something — someone — whispering:
"Wake up... Find the truth...
Your time is not over yet..."
Lyra floated in darkness, weightless, lost.
Pain throbbed in her chest — or had it? She couldn’t tell anymore. Time didn’t seem to exist here.
Another whisper echoed, closer this time:
"Remember."
Suddenly, a force yanked her downward, pulling her through the darkness like a falling star.
[She gasped — air flooding her lungs — and jolted awake.]

"Wh... what was that?"
Sunlight streamed through the tall windows of a familiar lecture hall.
The muffled chatter of students filled the room.
The smell of ink, paper, and warm coffee hung in the air.
Her heart pounded wildly in her chest as she looked around, disoriented.
This was her university...
But something was wrong.
Lyra Nightshade (fl)
(What's going on... Wasn't I killed?)*thinking*
She glanced at her hands,clothes and hair .
Her hands — smaller, unscarred.
Her clothes — the uniform of a second-year student.
Her hairs - silver, like moon
Lyra Nightshade (fl)
(Wasn't my hair black? How did it turn silver) *thinking*
[She looked at the clock on the wall — the year written on a noticeboard — three years ago.]
Lyra Nightshade (fl)
(I went back in time? But... how?)*thinking*
Before she could process the shock, a cheerful voice cut through her racing thoughts.

"Lyra! Hey, sleepyhead! Did you stay up all night again?" [she said, smiling widely.]
[Lyra turned to see her best friend — vibrant, alive — smiling brightly at her from the next seat.]
Lyra Nightshade (fl)
"I guess so," [she said, smiling brightly back.]
[Tears stung her eyes before she could stop them.]
Lyra Nightshade (fl)
(She's alive... I'm alive...)
*thinking*
But the voice from the darkness echoed in her mind once more:
And this time, Lyra swore silently:
Lyra Nightshade (fl)
(I will.)*thinking*
Lyra Nightshade (fl)
(No matter what it takes.)*thinking*
