Your support means everything!
The rain has finally stopped.
The rhythmic patter against the windshield fades into a hollow, haunting silence.
Inside a sleek black Audi slicing through the misty dusk, Zhypher Valestryn drives in silence.
His fingers are tense against the steering wheel. His thoughts—darker than the storm that passed.

[INCOMING CALL: Rowan]
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
*sighs and taps to answer* Yeah?
Rowan Hartley( ML bff)
*voice tight, off* Zhypher, where are you?
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
I’m on my way home. Had that meeting with the Draviens, remember?
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
*chuckles, but it sounds dry and cold*
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
I’m not running away, Rowan. Why do you sound like a funeral bell?
No laughter from the other side. Just a pause. The kind that coils in your gut like something’s gone wrong.
Rowan Hartley( ML bff)
Your father found out about the land.
Zhypher’s knuckles go white on the wheel. His eyes narrow.
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
You’re kidding.
Rowan Hartley( ML bff)
He’s demanding to see you. And—
Rowan Hartley( ML bff)
He already reopened the deal with them.
Zhypher slams the brakes.The tires screech.
The car jerks to a halt in the middle of the empty road.
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
*voice low* What?
Rowan Hartley( ML bff)
He’s selling it again.
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
*quiet for a long moment. Then—his voice cracks*
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
Why doesn’t he remember the people who lived there?
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
It’s only been four years. How can he forget what we fought for… who we lost?
Rowan stays silent. He knows some grief has no answer.
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
Why doesn’t he ever think about what it cost me?
Rowan Hartley( ML bff)
*gently* Zhypher.
Rowan Hartley( ML bff)
You need to come. Now.
Rowan Hartley( ML bff)
Before he finishes what you tried to protect.
Zhypher sits frozen. Pain wraps around his chest like iron vines.
That land isn’t just soil.
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
*He lowers the window.*
Let the cold air hit his face. Let the scent of wet earth rise and try to calm him
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
*blinks, sharply inhales* That scent.
A breeze drifts in—carrying wild Lavender. Amber. Rain-soaked roses. A scent he thought was gone forever.
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
Fiora.
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
*throws the door open.*
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
*follows the pull*
Past rusted gates and mossed stone.
An old church. There—under the broken bell tower.
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
*kneels* No… Fiora.
Fiora Moonveil (FL)
*Soaked hair. Pale skin. Still.*
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
*whispers* You’re alive…
Fiora Moonveil (FL)
*Lashes flutter.*
Her silver eyes met his wild gray eyes
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
Fiora… it’s me.
Fiora Moonveil (FL)
*confused* Who… are you?
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
Its me Zhypher.
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
You don’t remember? The bond… the moon?
Fiora Moonveil (FL)
I’m not Fiora.
Fiora Moonveil (FL)
I’m Monic.
Fiora Moonveil (FL)
What are you trying to do?
Fiora Moonveil (FL)
*jerks back.*
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
*He reaches*
Fiora Moonveil (FL)
*slaps his hand away.*
Fiora Moonveil (FL)
Don’t touch me!
Fiora Moonveil (FL)
*Shoves him.*
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
*He falls. Head hits the stone*
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
*dazed* Fiora…
Fiora Moonveil (FL)
*runs*
Blood trails from his temple. The scent lingers.
Zhypher Valestryn (ML)
*bare whisper* Fiora…
