Moonlight Blossom

first night bell

Narration: Under the pale moonlight, Lunaria Academy shimmered. Its gates only opened after dark

*Shisu walks quietly through the entrance.*

shisu

(Thinking) Another transfer. Another night school.

nancy

(Off-screen) Hey! New girl?

shisu

Yes.

nancy

Your hair is so white... like snow! Wait-are your eyes red too?

shisu

Only when the moon is full.

nancy

Haha! Cool! I'm Nancy. You?

shisu

Shisu.

*The bell rings deep, loud, and far too early.*

nancy

Umm... that's not normal, is it?

shisu

(Whispers) No... it's too soon. *A strange symbol lights up on the tower.*

nancy

What's that glow?

shisu

(Serious) Stay near me.

nancy

(Whispers) What's going on? Why is the air... buzzing?

*The wind picks up suddenly. Leaves swirl in strange patterns.*

shisu

(Thinking) The seal must be weakening again...

nancy

Seal? What seal?

shisu

There's not much time to explain.

*Faint footsteps echo from the empty corridor ahead.*

nancy

Wait... is someone there?

shisu

No. That corridor is supposed to be closed.

*The tower glows again-this time brighter, almost alive.*

nancy

That light... it's reacting to you!

shisu

(Whispers) I was afraid of this.

nancy

Shisu... what are you?

shisu

Someone who shouldn't be here. Not again.

And with the second bell, fate quietly shifted under moonlight... To be continued...

chapter 2

The second bell echoed... not a sound of warning a summons.

nancy

(Whispering) Why did that light react to you?

shisu

I didn't expect it to... not tonight.

nancy

You're really calm for someone facing ghost corridors.

shisu

I've been here before. Just not as a student.

*They enter a dimly lit hallway walls lined with old portraits, all watching.*

nancy

Ugh... those pictures are creepy. Hey, why did you transfer in the middle of the semester?

shisu

Because something is awakening.

nancy

What... kind of thing?

shisu

A locked wing. Sealed decades ago. It only opens when the moon reaches its highest point.

*The hallway ends in a blackened door covered in glowing glyphs.*

nancy

Okay. That door is literally humming.

shisu

This is the Hidden Wing. And something inside knows I'm back.

nancy

(Backing up) Okay, okay, this is creepy-level ten. Do we... knock?

shisu

No need.

*Shisu raises her hand. The glyphs shimmer, then vanish like mist.*

nancy

Did you just-?! What ARE you?

shisu

I used to be a Guardian. A long time ago.

nancy

But... you look like us. A student.

shisu

That's what they want me to be now.

*The door creaks open slowly. Cold air rushes out. Darkness inside pulses like a heartbeat.*

nancy

This feels wrong, Shisu.

shisu

I know. But the moon called me back here for a reason.

*They step inside. The corridor beyond is broken, abandoned glowing faintly with magic.* yet

nancy

What is this place?

shisu

The Wing of Forgotten Spells. My memories... are sealed here.

And deep within the wing... something stirred, waiting for Shisu to return. To be continued...

chapter 3

Years before Nancy arrived... before the seal... Shisu wasn't a student. She was its shield.

shisu

(past): (Voice shaking) The veil's collapsing. I won't make it in time.

Guardian captain

No, Shisu don't!

shisu

If I don't seal the rift... the academy will fall.

*The night sky splits a tear in magic, black and glowing red.*

shisu

(Whispers) Lunaria gave me life... I'll return it now.

*She steps into the core of the spell, arms glowing with forbidden light.*

Guardian captain

You'll be erased!

shisu

Then let me be a memory that protects others.

*Explosion of white light. Silence follows.*

And under the moon's final watch... Shisu vanished from the world.

*Scene fades to present. Shisu stands silently before the same tower.*

nancy

(Softly) That's why the magic recognizes you... You died here.

shisu

Yes. And something brought me back.

nancy

But... people don't just come back, Shisu.

shisu

Exactly. Which means I didn't return alone.

*The air shifts. The sigil on the tower flares again red.* this time blood

nancy

Wait-what does that mean?!

shisu

Something passed through the rift the night I died.

nancy

Like... a demon?

shisu

Worse. A Wraithborn. It feeds on forgotten magic... and memories.

*The door behind them slams shut. A cold breath sweeps the corridor.*

nancy

Shisu... something's here.

shisu

I know.

*A shadow crawls across the floor no form, only a voice.*

Shadow Voice: You left me behind... Guardian.

shisu

(Whispers) I failed to seal it fully...

nancy

What is that thing!?

shisu

My unfinished death.

And beneath the moonlight, the past rose again hungry and unforgiving.
