Soul transfer
[Scene: Inside the Lucent mansion. The chamber where Luan’s body rests glows faintly with sigil light. Crystalline runes float in the air, circling the stasis bed like quiet guardians.]
Eimi
The transfer won’t hurt. Not physically.(gently, floating closer)
Eirlys
Right. Just emotionally scarring and morally questionable.(rolling her eyes)
Luan's Father
The moment you enter, the soul will take hold. His body has accepted you. That’s why the gem resonated.(low)
Uan (Luan’s father²)
If you ever feel lost in it... just remember your voice. Your thoughts. Don’t let the vessel overwrite you.
Eirlys
I said I’d do it. Stop acting like I’m about to drown in a memory soup.(snaps)
Eimi
...Technically it’s more like a soul marinade
She steps forward. Luan’s body lies silent beneath a floating sigil ring. The gem in Eirlys’s palm pulses, vibrating with warmth and starlight.]
Eirlys
This better not smell like burning ozone.(quietly, under her breath)
She kneels beside the bed, pressing the gem to Luan’s bare chest. The sigils burst into light. A current of stars and whispers flows around her—swallowing her form.
Uan (Luan’s father²)
Luan… please come back…
[Scene Shift: Inside the Soulstream] Light. Endless, coiling light. Floating fragments of memories — laughter, stars, glass ceilings, a child's hand reaching for someone’s. Then... silence.
Eirlys
....I’m still me. Good. I think.(voice echoing)
A sharp jolt. A sudden gravity. A breath that isn’t hers. Eyes flutter open.
Scene Shift: The Etherverse — Back in the Chamber]
Luan’s body sits up suddenly, gasping.
Luan
...Son of a—this voice is wrong. This isn’t my voice.
She touches her face the features aren’t hers. Her fingers linger at her throat, confused, unsettled
Luan
Why am I so short!? and soft? What is this body made of.. moon velvet?!(panicking slightly)
Luan's Father
You’ve stabilized. You’re alive. And you’re him, now.
Luan
No. I’m me… just with a dying prince's hair and hips!
Eimi
Good news is — you’re radiant! Bad news — you might start glowing during emotional outbursts.
Uan (Luan’s father²)
Your eyes... they’re open again.
But something’s wrong. Eirlys looks in a mirror fragment nearby. Luan’s reflection stares back… but the starlight in his eyes is gone.
Luan
...His light’s not in here anymore. Just mine.(quietly)
Luan's Father
Then it’s your body now.
Luan
You better pray I never get my real one back.
