The night, soft and dark with stars scattered across, the Moon giving its glow, a gentle breeze murmured across the quiet grounds. The campus was alive with it
Inside the empty studio.…
Aaradhya practising the moves again and again, making it perfect… She falls down…..
She repeats his words
Aaradhya-I will learn more and make it perfect by falling… Then let me make it perfect ( she stands up and starts practising)
Her moves-more fluent and strong… But something feels odd in the room… The air becomes tight. The glow fading out, shadows crept in - three of them-dark spread across the room in the corners, their eyes glowing blood-red.
Aaradhya (froze)-blade, trembling slightly in her hands
Aaradhya- wh-who are you?
No answer, the shadows spread more across the room, making it very dark
Suddenly, the door slammed open hyun-woo steps in ,rage visible in his eyes, but he puts his calm face.
He faces towards her and says
Hyun-woo -get away from them, stay behind
Aaradhya- who are they? What's all this?
Hyun-woo -STAY.QUIET
He took out his sword, blades shining blueish-gold, and moon-giving an extra glow to the sword
The shadows approached him, he moved faster ,his steps more of a Dance, every rhythm, as if he was a legend divine God, each swing of his sword, glowing, scattering light across the mirrors and the room
Aaradhya (heartbeat gets abnormal) She watches his every move with keen eyes. It wasn't a fight. It was art…
Suddenly, the last shadow approached her, she raised her blades, her leg moves, making her anklets sing in rhythm. A golden light arises from her anklets to her blades. Each moves of her, making the gold light increase.
Hyun-woo (FROZE)-seeing the scene, his sword froze mid air for a while, one of the shadow steps in …
Shadow (laughs evil)-Sooo… It all begins again, the DANCE
Hyun-woo(rage, visible in his eyes),(shouts ) - ENOUGH
He strikes his sword towards the Shadows ,with that effect, bright light appears making the room glow. The shadows disappear in thin air.
Aaradhya staring at him without blinking her eyes
Aaradhya-what was that ? and the fight…more of a dance? It wasn't like dance either … , it was magic… What was it?
Hyun-woo - It's Nothing, forget it all , the golden light should not have answered to you.
Aaradhya-first of all, what is that? and whatever it is, why it should not have answered to me?
Hyun-woo. - Because you're not from here… You came from somewhere
Aaradhya- what if it's a past… I feel it strangely familiar
Hyun-woo ( mind - It might be true …, why haven't I considered it ? ) asking to himself….
Hyun-woo ( speaks to Aaradhya) - It's nothing like that ,get back to your dorm
Aaradhya( mutters under her breath)-as if he is the only one who knows everything (Tells sarcastically)
Hyun-woo (Heard it, but proceeds to ask ,as if he did not hear her)- what?
Aaradhya-Nothing, I'm leaving.
She thinks about the magic fight that took place , packs her things and returns to her dorm .
