"Sometimes death stands before you…
But the real fear begins… when it is waiting just for you."
---
Scene 1 – Midnight Whispers
The Academy was drowned in midnight silence.
Moonlight fell upon the snow. Along with the cold wind, some unspoken words drifted away.
Aura was staring outside through his window.
Shoho was sleeping nearby.
But Aura could not sleep.
The mark on his hand was slowly burning.
---
Aura (in his mind):
"This burning… why does it grow every night?
Is something inside me changing…?"
Suddenly, someone whispered outside.
A shadow. A dark figure.
---
Scene 2 – The Arrival of Death
Near the western wall of the Academy, a masked man stood.
His face covered in black, his eyes blood-red.
He was a member of the villain group "Shadow Brotherhood."
His name was—Velgar.
---
Velgar (softly):
"Aura… your time has come."
In his hand, the Shadow Dagger gleamed.
The air smelled of poison.
---
Scene 3 – Uno's Suspicion
Uno was meditating in his room.
Suddenly his eyes opened wide.
---
Uno (in his mind):
"Someone has broken the protective spell…
Who is it…?"
He stepped out of his own shadow and rushed through the Academy corridors.
---
Scene 4 – The Attack Begins
Aura stood inside his room.
Suddenly his window shattered.
Velgar entered—his movements serpent-like.
---
Velgar (with a cold laugh):
"Watching you… is more fun than killing you."
Aura stepped back. His heart was pounding so hard, he couldn't even hear his own breath.
---
Aura:
"Who… are you?"
Velgar:
"I haven't come to kill you.
I've come… to erase you."
---
Scene 5 – The First Clash
Velgar twirled the Shadow Dagger in the air.
Aura instinctively activated Shadow Phase.
Once again, his body turned into shadow.
But Velgar had already read Aura's move.
He trapped Aura with another shadow.
---
Velgar:
"You don't even know how to control shadows…
And yet you fight me?"
Aura's body trembled.
But then he remembered Shoho's words—
---
Shoho (in memory):
"When your body refuses to fight…
Let your mind fight for you."
Aura gathered all of his shadow power into one place.
His hand began turning black.
---
Scene 6 – Uno's Intervention
Velgar made a lethal strike.
But at that very moment—Uno stepped in.
His Shadow Sword clashed against Velgar's dagger.
Darkness exploded across the room.
---
Uno (angrily):
"This boy is not yours."
Velgar smirked.
---
Velgar:
"Not just mine… he belongs to all of us."
For the first time, fear flickered in Uno's eyes.
Because Velgar spoke a name—
---
Velgar (softly):
"Arzen himself has said—
Aura must be brought into the Shadow."
---
Scene 7 – The Shock
Aura's heart stopped.
His steps faltered.
---
Aura:
"Arzen…?"
Uno looked at Aura—but said nothing.
There was only silence in his eyes.
---
Aura (with rage and a broken heart):
"You're lying.
My brother… can't be like this."
Velgar burst out laughing.
---
Velgar:
"Truth always hurts.
And your brother… is the leader of Shadow Brotherhood."
---
Scene 8 – Velgar's Retreat
Uno launched a Shadow Strike at Velgar.
Velgar vanished instantly.
---
Velgar (echoing voice):
"We will meet again, Aura.
Because your blood… is bound to ours."
---
Scene 9 – Aftermath
Aura collapsed to the ground.
His eyes were filled with tears.
---
Aura (softly):
"Brother… Arzen… what is this?"
Uno gave no answer.
He only looked up at the sky.
Because he knew—this was no longer just a fight between brothers.
This had become a fight for the world itself.
