Scene opens in a crowded city, dusk bleeding into night. The camera pans to lone figure walking home, headphones in, hood up. A Young Boy named Void ling as he is powerless and has nothing. And then he spoke.
Void ling:
(Muttering to himself)
"Another day, another blur. School, noise, people pretending not see me...I guess I'm good at being invisible."
He pauses at a crosswalk. A group of students pass by, instinctively giving him a wide berth. One glances at him, shivers, and hurries away.
Void ling:
(Confused)
"...Why does that keep happening?"
He turns down a familiar street--but tonight, Something's different. A narrow alley flickers into view, pulsing faintly with light.
Void ling:
(Firmly)
"That...wasn't here before."
Drawn by something he can't name, Void ling steps into the alley. The shadows seem to lean in, whispering without sound. At the end lies glowing object--impossibly intricate, humming with power.
Void ling:
(Reaching out)
"What are you?"
The moment his fingers touch it, the world erupts--light and Shadow collide, reality bends, and Void is thrown into a swirling voidscape. Time fractures. Space folds. Shadows rises like sentiment waves.
[Voice in the dark, ancient and resonant]
"You are not what you were. You were what you were meant to be."
Void ling:
(Floating, surrounded by living shadows)
"What is this? What's happening to me?"
Voice:
(Echoes across the shadows)
"You are the bearer of the infinite Dark. The shadows obey you. The concepts bend to you. As your main source of power is Darkness and Shadows. As you can command Armies of shadows as you are Void ling."
The shadows warp around him--not suffocating, but embracing. They pulse with his heartbeat, responding to his thoughts.
Void ling:
(Eyes glowing)
"I can feel everything...the city, the stars...even the silence between seconds."
Void awakens, standing in the alley, but everything has changed. His eyes shimmer with darkness. The shadows around him ripple like water.
Void ling:
(Whispering)
"They're alive...they're mine."
He lifts a hand. A wall of shadow rises, impenetrable. He clenches his fist. A tidal wave of darkness surge forward, swallowing the alleys end.
Void ling:
(Power flowing)
"This power. I can even destroy this world...But I remember."
Flashbacks flicker--laughing with friends, doodling in class, listening to music on rainy walks.
Void ling:
(Softly)
"I remember being human. That matters."
Void ling stands on a rooftop, city light below, stars above. Shadows swirling around him like a cloak.
Void ling:
(Face serious)
"I'm not just powerful. I'm not just different. I'm the line between humanity and the infinite."
He looks toward the horizon, where something ancient stirs. And the Void ling spoke.
Void ling:
(Smiled)
"...And whatever coming, I'll face it."
