RAE'S CABIN – THE SAME NIGHT
The fire crackles was low a little storm whispers outside as Rae stares at the necklace on the table like it might bite her.
RAE:You say this belonged to my father?. A high priest I've never met? Who died?... and sent you?
ELARA: rolled her eye with all the questioning I wasn't sent. I chose to come.
Rae scoffs lightly, not unkindly.
RAE:That's bold. Coming here for someone who who she is neither dose she knows how to hold a wand.
ELARA:You don't need a wand.youre the wind summoner the wind response to ur emotions
You're a high priest
Rae's heat skipped A beat. Alot was going on in her head she felt like she could explode any moment from now a
RAe: I didn't ask for any of this.
ELARA (gently):Neither did I.

INT. KITCHEN – MOMENTS LATER
Elara checks through Rae's spice rack, sniffing things and making faces. Rae leans on the counter curiously watching with arms folded.
RAE:So what's it like? Your world?
ELARA:Wilder. Richer. Less... beige.
She points to Rae's brown cabinets with distaste, Rae couldn't help but laughs despite herself.
RAE:Sorry. I didn't know royalty had beef with oak finish.
ELARA (smirking):Not oak. Just beige.
They share a look and held eye contact for a while,The tension in the room shifts slightly—a little warmer, nyra looks at the both of them with curiosity
Later that night Elara stands in the doorway as Rae is curled up on the bed, Nyra sits beside her like a living shadow.
ELARA:. Magic tends to whisper more clearly in the dark.
RAE:Will it answer anything?
ELARA: I can't tell you what I don't know Rae
RAE: Are You sleeping in here?
No. I... don't think that's a wise decision
She say then starts to leave to the guess room—
RAE:Wait.
Elara turns. Rae's voice is soft, hesitant.
Thanks. For... not letting me face those guys alone.
ELARA
You didn't need me. The wind obeys you.
RAE:Still. Thanks.
Their eyes locked. Elara nods once. And She turns to go.
GUEST ROOM – MOMENTS LATER
Elara lays on the bed, the necklace beside her glowing faintly. She closes her eyes—
A WHISPER, distant, ancient:
> "The child of sky and silence... must awaken Now!."
Elara's eyes snap open. Her hand goes to her sword instinctively.

. RAE'S ROOM – SAME TIME
*Rae's breath catches. She hears the same whisper, sees a flicker of an image—a temple crumbling, a man's face she feels in her bones.
Her window flies open. The wind howls. And Nyra growls low.
NYRA:Something stirs.
RAE (whispering):Yeah... I feel it too.
She lies still a little terrified,Nyra curls at her feet. The wind dances gently around the room—whispeing just beneath hearing.
She cut her eyes close till she slept off
---
Rae stands in a glowing marble hall. Columns reach into clouds. Magic breathes in the walls.
A man with kind, piercing eyes stands before her—the High Priest.
HIGH PRIEST:You're not broken, Rae. You're unfinished.
Rae's eyes fill with quiet emotion.
RAE: is this Really you ? You left me.
Why did you
HIGH PRIEST:I waited for you to grow. And now... you must choose let ur heat guild u
He reaches out—touching her chest—
A spark of light blooms.
---RAE'S CABIN – EARLY MORNING
Rae jolts awake, breathing hard. Nyra lifts her head.
NYRA:He came, didn't he?
RAE:Yeah. And he left me again.

KITCHEN – A LITTLE LATER
Elara is making a mess with cereal. Rae leans in the doorway, arms crossed, quietly watching her.
RAE:What... are you doing?
ELARA (defensively):Attempting to prepare your sacred grains. The instructions say "pour," but do not specify how much.
Rae laughs, grabs the bowl, and fixes it in two motions. Elara watches her, soft amusement in her eyes.
You smiled just now. That's rare.
RAE (avoiding her gaze):Well... you're ridiculous.
---
LATER THAT DAY
They walk through the field. The wind is calm, but there's tension under it—unspoken things.
RAE : I had a dream That dream... it felt like more than a dream.
ELARA:They always do, when magic speaks.
RAE:He said I had to choose. But he didn't say what.
ELARA (quietly):Maybe it's not about what. Maybe it's who you choose to become.
Rae watches her.
RAE:You always talk like you're in some ancient poem.
ELARA (smirks):That's how royalty survives existential dread.
Nyra snoozes between them.
RAE:I've never had someone look at me like I'm... worth the chaos.
ELARA (without hesitation):You are. And it's not chaos. It's power. Beauty. Storms don't apologize.
*A pause. The firelight flickers between them. For a moment, the silence feels electric.
Then Rae looks away, cheeks warm. Elara doesn't press.
ELARA (CONT'D)
We'll figure this out. Together.
