[INTRO – VERY EARLY MORNING]

Astralis Academy – Male Dormitory – 07:43 AM

Most students are already up and about. Except one.

Zoom on a messy bed — Kaelen, still asleep, wrapped tightly in his blanket. A faint alarm buzzes on his nightstand. He blindly slams it off.

Kaelen (groggy):

"Urgh... Just five more minutes..."

Voice-over (humorous, sarcastic tone):

"In a world where Convergence can decide the fate of entire galaxies… some still manage to miss breakfast."

[SCENE 1 – ENERGY ASSESSMENT]

Energy Analysis Hall – 09:00 AM

The entire Converged student body is gathered. A glowing circular platform beneath their feet hums with data. Above each student, holographic readouts pulse with intricate symbols and stats.

Professor Astrée (sharp, clear voice):

"The analysis is based on six criteria:
Power Type
Entity Status
Elemental or Cosmic Affinity
Current Capacity
Remaining Potential
Theoretical Limit"

🧬 Kaelen – On-Screen Data (stylized futuristic interface):

Name: Kaelen Veyr

Power Type: Quasarion – Astral Singularity

Entity Status: Unclassified / Unknown

Affinity: Cosmic / Black Gravity

Current Capacity: 7%

Remaining Potential: 93%

Detected Limit: Indeterminable

System Note:

"Evolution pattern resembles a black hole. Unstable, no upper threshold. Threat level: Unclear."

Murmurs ripple through the room. Some students take a step back. Others stare in fear — or fascination.

Professor Astrée (to herself, troubled):

"The Eye of Quasar has awakened… but it’s too soon. Far too soon."

[SCENE 2 – AURA DUEL ANNOUNCEMENT]

Central Amphitheater – Noon

The students sit in anticipation. At the center stands Director Solven — calm, composed, his voice like gravity itself.

Director Solven:

"In three weeks, the Academy will hold the traditional Aura Duel.
One-on-one. In front of the High Masters. Prepare yourselves."

The room goes still — then erupts in whispers and electricity. Everyone knows: this is where destinies begin to shift.

[SCENE 3 – NIGHT / TRAINING / THE APPEARANCE]

Academy Courtyard – 10:37 PM

Kaelen, in a black tank top, still steaming from recovery baths, breathes deeply under the moonlight. He studies his trembling hands. His left eye flickers uncontrollably — bright and unstable.

Kaelen (thoughts):

"I have to evolve. They expect me to be ready...
But how do you train to become a black hole?"

A chill. The wind halts.

SFX: A soft, impossible sound — like paper tearing backward in time.

A reverse-light fissure opens in space. A hooded figure steps through: a woman with snowy-white hair, storm-gray eyes, and an unnerving stillness.

??? (gentle, but chilling):

"The Eye of Quasar… not fully open, yet awakened too early.
Hm. Now that’s... unexpected."

Kaelen slowly turns, defensive.

Kaelen:

"Who are you? Where did you come from?"

???:

"I saw your birth…
and the end of a world your heartbeat will one day shatter."

Kaelen tenses. His eye surges with volatile light.

??? (stepping backward into the rift):

"Prepare yourself, bearer of the stellar heart.
The Astralis Order is watching...
Until next time, little one."

She disappears. The world breathes again. Kaelen stands motionless — heart pounding.
