THE EMPRESS IS WATCHING Episode 1

Episode 1

YURI

“Before anything had a name, I gave it light.”

A place before time — where nothing yet exists

No stars. No sound. No shape. Just a flickering, golden flame..

That flame began to pulse..

Then breathe…

Then speak...

Aria/FL

"I opened my eyes… and there was nothing."

She reached out — and galaxies bloomed.

She whispered — and time began to move.

She wept — and the first oceans rose.

Aria/FL

I gave them suns to warm them…

Aria/FL

Moons to guide them…

Aria/FL

And stories, so they wouldn't forget.

Aria/FL

"But I was still… alone."

💫 She needed something — not worship. Not power. Just a soul that saw her..

From longing, she shaped Yi — proud, impulsive, blazing.

From silence, she shaped Yuan — patient, deep, and endlessly dark.

Not her sons.

Not creations.

Just… pieces of her.

They opened their eyes. The void shimmered in awe.

And for the first time… She smiled.

....

YURI

Yuri (tiny at the page’s edge): “What if she smiled… just for them?” (⁠｡⁠•́⁠︿⁠•̀⁠｡⁠)
