Title: Shadows Over the Council

  Narrated Introduction (deep, slow voice)

  “In a universe divided by power and fear, there are names that cannot be ignored. One of them… is Lord Vharon. The hidden king of Planet XP, a strategist so powerful that even King Aris considers him a worthy rival. Yet Vharon rarely shows his face. He moves through the shadows, using spies, alliances, and information as weapons. His servant is a Videu capable of foreseeing the future—always one step ahead of any enemy. Not even the Krizardian King escapes his gaze. And although both have access to the Videu, neither receives all revelations… for certain truths could shatter the fragile balance that sustains the universe. Vharon’s objective is clear: to place the Xprians in control of everything. But to achieve this, he will have to face forces he himself cannot fully control.”

  The narration fades out as the scene opens inside the Xprian Organization.

  Scene 1 — Confrontation with Laura

  Lee enters carrying supplies, but stops abruptly when he sees Laura—his mother—waiting for him in the central hall.

  Her face is marked by sorrow, her voice low yet firm.

  Laura:

  “Lee… how could you do this? Three Xprians dead… because of a Krizardian… and right in front of the entire council.”

  Murmurs echo among the members present.

  Laura:

  “Do you know who summoned me, Lee? Lord Vharon himself.”

  Lee narrows his eyes, saying nothing.

  Lee:

  “Before anything else… don’t you find it strange, mother? Leon and Lara were born on the same day. Just like Lim and Lara once were. The god Kairós dwells within Leon, just as he did within Lim. And you expect a power like that to be ignored? If Aris gets his hands on him, everything ends.”

  Lee explains that Leon cannot fight, and that he survived only because Kairós intervened.

  Laura:

  “I didn’t know that… but that is exactly why I don’t want Lara anywhere near him.”

  A brief flashback surfaces—the Videu prophetess speaking to Lee:

  Prophetess:

  “Your sister is a key piece. Do not allow anything to separate her from the boy.”

  Lee steadies himself.

  Lee:

  “I’m not afraid of the Lord. He’s corrupt. I’ve been spying on the council for a long time. Half of them are conspiring to reclaim power… using me to remove their greatest obstacle—my father.”

  Laura is shaken.

  Laura:

  “That’s far too serious, Lee. Don’t tell him anything. If we lose what we’ve built, your father will hunt us down. If we’re expelled, we’ll spend our lives running.”

  Lee’s voice turns cold.

  Lee:

  “I could still kill him… and rule Planet XP from the shadows.”

  Laura (shouting):

  “Don’t say that! Ever since that Krizardian appeared, you’ve changed!”

  Scene 3 — Journey to Planet K11

  Lee ends the discussion, stating that he needs to bring supplies to Leon and Liu, accusing the Organization of abandoning its original ideals.

  He prepares a supply capsule and departs.

  Upon arriving at Planet K11, he finds Leon and Liu starving.

  They eat quickly while Lee explains that Lord Vharon wishes to see him.

  Lee:

  “If anything goes wrong… I’ll kill him too.”

  The professor reacts in shock, but Leon asks to go with him.

  Scene 4 — The Decision

  Leon:

  “I know I’m forbidden from entering the Organization, but all of this is happening because of me. My mission is to warn the races about the true God. Running away won’t solve anything.”

  Lee recalls his mother’s warning, but Leon continues.

  Leon:

  “Talk to him. Explain your reasons. If you’re banned, promise to reveal nothing. That will make you stronger. It’s not weakness… it’s strategy.”

  Leon smiles faintly.

  Leon:

  “There’s a movie I once watched… ‘Keep your friends close, and your enemies even closer.’”

  The professor nods in agreement.

  Professor:

  “The Organization could be useful to you as well.”

  After a moment of reflection, Lee agrees.

  Lee:

  “Alright… I’ll see what I can do.”

  Final Scene — Determination

  They finish eating and prepare to leave.

  Close-up on Lee’s eyes—serious, resolute.

  Final Narration (low voice):

  “Some battles are won with the sword… others with silence and patience. But all of them leave scars.”

  Fade to black.
