🔥 EPISODE 1 — "THE NIGHT OF SHADOWS" (FULL EPISODE)
SCENE 1 — EVENING IN THE VILLAGE
The sun is setting behind the mountains, painting the sky orange.
Aryx (15) walks home carrying a small box of medicine. His footsteps are slow; he's thinking about school, life, small problems… normal things.
Birds fly over the rooftops. Kids play near the well.
The village looks peaceful.
Aryx smiles slightly.
He's tired, but he feels warm knowing his family is waiting at home.
He thinks:
"Maybe today will be better."
But the wind suddenly changes.
The birds go silent.
The temperature drops.
Even the air feels heavier.
Aryx stops walking.
A strange feeling crawls up his spine.
Soulsight (Level 0) — his power slightly flickers for the first time ever.
He doesn't know what it is, but something inside his brain whispers:
"Danger."
---
SCENE 2 — THE SILENT HOUSE
He reaches his home.
The door is slightly open.
This never happens.
Aryx:
"Mom?"
No answer.
He steps inside.
The room is dark.
The table is flipped.
The medicine bottles are shattered on the floor.
He feels his heartbeat increase.
His breath becomes sharp.
Aryx whispers:
"Dad…? Mira…?"
Still no answer.
He takes one more step—
His foot touches blood.
---
SCENE 3 — THE SHADOW DEMON
A low growl echoes from the living room.
Aryx freezes.
Slowly… slowly… he looks up.
There it is.
A creature crouched in the corner.
Black smoke rises from its body.
Its eyes glow icy blue.
Claws long enough to cut stone.
It looks like a wolf made entirely of shadow, but twisted… broken… hungry.
And behind it—
Aryx sees the bodies of his family.
He doesn't scream.
He can't.
His throat locks.
His mind breaks.
A voice, soft and cold, comes from the demon:
"So… the final soul arrives."
Aryx falls to his knees.
His tears hit the floor.
The demon steps closer, its voice echoing:
"Your family was weak.
But you… your soul is bright.
Pain makes it brighter."
Aryx's hands tremble.
He looks at his family—
Their faces still, their bodies cold.
The demon whispers near his ear:
"We will return for you… when your soul is ready."
It raises its claws to finish him.

SCENE 4 — ARYX AWAKENS
At that exact moment—
Something inside Aryx explodes.
A sound like a heartbeat echoes in his skull.
THUMP.
The world slows down.
THUMP.
Colors fade.
THUMP.
His eyes shift into silver.
His brain lights up like a storm.
He sees everything:
the demon's muscle tension
the path of its claw
the weak spot in its chest
his escape angle
the trajectory of movement
It's as if a second brain switches on.
Aryx doesn't know what's happening.
But his body moves.
He dodges the claw with inhuman speed.
The demon snarls.
"Impossible. Your awakening… this early?"
Aryx stumbles back, gasping.
He feels something burning in his lungs—
Soulbreath (Level 0)
—for the first time.
A white aura flickers from his mouth as he exhales.
The demon steps back:
"You will be interesting… when you finish evolving."
It sinks into the shadows and disappears, leaving the house silent again.
The silver light in Aryx's eyes fades.
He collapses onto the floor, unconscious…
with tears still on his face.

SCENE 5 — THE HEALER'S HUT
Aryx wakes up in a warm hut.
Bandages around his arm.
A blanket over him.
Old healer woman:
"You're lucky some villagers found you."
Aryx tries to sit up, but pain shoots through his body.
Flashbacks hit him:
His mother's smile
His father's laugh
His sister holding his hand
The demon's claws
The blood
The silence
He curls up, shaking silently.
The healer places a hand on his shoulder:
"Child… cry if you need to. It heals the soul."
Aryx doesn't cry.
He just whispers:
"…Why?"
The healer doesn't answer.
The world outside the hut keeps spinning.
But inside Aryx's heart—
something dark, painful, powerful is taking shape.
A vow.
---
SCENE 6 — FINAL MOMENT
Night again.
Aryx steps outside the hut and looks at the sky.
Moonlight reflects in his eyes—
silver again.
He whispers to himself:
"I will find the creature that killed my family.
I will destroy every demon like it.
No matter what happens to me."
His breath releases a faint white mist—
Soulbreath awakening.
The wind blows his hair back.
His eyes burn with determination.
End of Episode 1.
