Act 2: the awekening
(Standard opening theme)
Long ago, the Demonrealm was sealed away. But now, the gate has broken open.
For the first time in history, the realms of the living stand united— forged to push back the threat.
But the tide of war cannot be turned by armies alone…
Only the one who carries the ancient power of Darkness can shift the fate of the living realms.
And his soul walks the edge of ruin
Scene 1: The Dream
Aslan is seen sleeping in his bed.
He twitches and makes soft sounds.
He is sweating heavily.
Inside of Aslan his dream.
Aslan looks around him he just sees red snow everywhere.
He notices black snow falling from the skies.
Only its not snow its pure darkness.
Not even a clue on what is going on Aslan is terrified.
A loud noice of blades crashing fills his ears.
He can see dark shadowy figures fighting only to vanish when slayn.
He sees something fighting a bigger shadow.
When looking closer he knows somehow that its the demonlord.
He senses it…
Aslan sees a man struggling to fight the bigger shadow. To make out the face of the man he steps closer.
The shadows fade…
He hears a man gasping for air behind him.
He turns around and looks towards the man.
The shadows fade again…
With no shadows around him, aslan hears a loud ringing in his ears…
He puts his hand in his ears and clenches his whole body.
The ringing stops…
Aslan opens his eyes and sees no shadows around him…
But—
He looks down and sees the man gasping for air…
Aslan stand right on top of him!
He looks in to his eyes and sees something blinking in his eyes.
A thick current of shadow engulfs them and aslan screams!
Everything goes dark…
Aslan screams awake!
His whole body aching and sweating!
He throws the blanket away and while doing so he sees thick dark purple veins on his hands.
Gulsah rushes into the room!
Gulsah:
Aslan whats wrong?!
She gasps as she sees aslans face is also covered in veins.
She sits in his bed and holds him.
Gulsah:
What happened?! How did you get these?!
He doesnt asnwer he just begins to smile sinisterly while looking at his hands.
This abnormality… Gulsah never seen this before in her life.
She start to shake aslan to get a response out of him.
For a moment aslans grin disappears.
He looks at his mother with a smile.
Confused but asks what happend?
Gulsah looks down the veins have disappeared.
As she looks up the veins start to disappear on his face.
She cries and hugs Aslan.
While laying next to each other They both fall asleep.
Scene 2: The first memory
Gulsah is in the kitchen cooking some breakfast.
Gulsah:
Aslaaaaaaan! Get up!
Aslan comes into the scene.
Rubbing his eye and yawning.
Aslan:
Goodmorning mother.
He sits down as Gulsah puts food on the table.
She then checks Aslans body for any weird abnormalities.
Aslan is confused but brushes it off.
Hakan runs into the house.
Sweating and heavy breathing.
Gulsah:
Goodmorning Hakan…
Did you smell the food? (She softly laughs)
Hakan takes a moment to get his breath back…
Hakan (breathing heavy):
No!
Well yes!
But thats not it! The sultan! He passed away!
Gulsah gasps and lets a plate fall down.
The plate breaks into pieces…
She looks at aslan and just goes on her knees…
She lets out a tear and cleans up the broken plate.
Aslan:
how do you know this?
Hakan:
everyone is talking about it!
My dad said that their whole army and the elven army have been slayed by the demons…
I cant wait to grow up. I will make them demons pay!
Aslan:
that's way too far to think ahead of…
Besides its non of our business.
Also i have something to show you!
Hakan glimpses towards Aslan with an grin.
Hakan:
is it some delicious chicken?!
They both run out the house.
Gulsah stands back up and reaches for the counter to support herself standing.
She thinks back of fikret.
An memory is played out where fikret is standing above gulsah.
Fikret reaches out his hand to lift her up.
Gulsah:
thank you!
Fikret:
excuse me… i-i am Fikret.
His face turns red and is very shy all of a sudden.
Gulsah:
oh i am Gulsah. Gulsah Balkar.
Fikret:
you are an Balkar!
I would've never thought i would see a Balkar again!
Gulsah:
you know about my family?
Fikret:
ofcourse my father was a close friend of Erdal Balkar!
Gulsah:
that- thats my father yes.
Fikret:
could i maybe assist you in carrying those baskets?
Gulsah:
ofcourse you may! She smiles.
They talk some more and walk towards the village.
Fikrets face turns red again as he hands over the baskets.
Gulsah:
thank you for helping me!
Fikret:
i-i was wondering if maybe you would want to have dinner with me?
Gulsah looks at him with no emotions but bursts into laughter!
Fikret:
w-why are you laughing?!
Gulsah:
I would've never thought i would go on a date with the sultan!
Fikret:
you knew?
Gulsah:
ofcourse you are the most known man in the realm!
I would love to go on a date with you!
They both laugh as the scene ends.
The scene ends with Gulsah smiling with teary eyes.
Scene 3: Aether
Aslan and Hakan are at the lake
Hakan:
so what is it you wanted me to see?
Aslan doesn't say a word and closes his eyes.
He seeks his emotions and memory from deep inside and hurls a gust of wind around Hakan
Hakan his jaw drops to the ground!
Hakan:
not fair! How did you do that?!
Please teach me!
Aslan laughs softly
Aslan:
alright I will teach you my pupil!
Aslan strokes his chin to make it look like he has a beard
Aslan and hakan are sitting on the rocks near the lake.
Aslan:
you shouldnt only channel your energy from within but also your emotions and memory.
You need to look deep inside for love, hatred, fear and memories tied to it.
I think… oh and—
Dont push yourself too hard though!
Hakan closes his eyes.
He lets out a huf of air.
He looks deep inside it and…
Hakan lets out a fart.
Aslan looks cluesless towards him and bursts out in laughter.
Hakan:
hey! Dont laugh! Its not funny!
Aslan (smiling):
Im sorry! But that was funny!
Anyways…
dont give up! Just try some more!
A few hours pass before they give up for today.
Aslan:
maybe you have to build some more memories to actually have emotions tied to it!
Dont worry if i can do it i know you can!
Hakan lets out a smile as they run off
The scene shows the lake
Magic System Introduction
(Visuals show ancient scrolls, glowing runes, memory-like vignettes of warriors, healers, and shadowy figures wielding Aether)
In the world of Adanai… magic is not learned from books, nor passed down like weapons or titles.
It lives in the soul—woven from memories, shaped by emotion, and awakened through moments of truth.
This force is known as Aether. It flows through all living things, invisible and ancient… waiting.
But Aether is not limitless. It must be drawn from within—and the cost is always personal.
Every soul resonates with certain elements, bound to their heritage, their blood, their past.
The Elemental Paths
• Fire – born from wrath, courage, and passion.
• Water – shaped by clarity, sorrow, and patience.
• Earth – rooted in loyalty, willpower, and stillness.
• Air – carried by freedom, instinct, and change.
• Light – sparked by hope, mercy, and truth.
• Shadow – awakened through grief, vengeance… and fear.
There are still some undiscovered elements in the world.
Yet to be recorded by the Aether College .
No mage commands all. The Aether chooses its vessel, and each element answers only to those who understand it—who feel it.
Magic Types
• Destruction – the art of breaking: fireballs, quakes, and blades of wind.
• Illusion – altering realities, sound, and the mind to create fear or escape.
• Healing – mending flesh, restoring strength, easing suffering.
• Other Paths… remain unspoken.
As for rank the aether can be mastered.
Some more than others.
These are the achievements:
• Novice – Can light a fire or heal a scratch
• Acolyte – Learns control and basic spells
• Wielder – Full element/path control
• Master – Combines their path with strategy, mastery of Aether
• Awakened – dual casting
• Ascendant – Reality-bending potential; rivals Celestials
Final Note – Awakening
No one knows when their magic will awaken. Some never do. Others… are born with it breathing inside them.
You do not choose your magic…
It chooses you.
Scene 4: A sultanate burial
The capital Kozan is displayed.
Several days has passed since the death of the sultan.
There has been a big gathering for the burial of the sultan.
His body has been taken from the battlefield and put into a white cloth.
Covered up and ready to be lowered into the ground.
As the soldiers put sand on top of his lifeless body a bunch of people are crying…
A close up scene of yasin who has tears in his eyes and clenches his fist!
A million thoughts go through his mind.
Imam:
Let us send him off with a prayer.
Everyone goes silent and they raise to hands up as if they are holding a book in front of them.
Everyone finishes they prayers and start to leave.
The last one to leave is yasin…
As he walks off Zulkarneyn is seen waiting for him ahead.
Zulkarneyn:
Yasin i know this isn't the time or place but have you seen anything? Any sign? Any change at all?
Yasin looks with a bitter face towards Zulkarneyn.
He doesn't say a word and keeps on walking.
The scene zooms out as you see some bird flying off into to sun.
We see Yasin at the throne room
Still with an uneasy face, racing mind and a heavy heart.
He will have to take the pledge of becoming the new sultan.
His sisters are in the throne room aswell, the viziers, the noblemen and all the important people of the realms.
At the age of 17 he has will be crowned the 20th sultan.
He sits on his knees as a vizier will crown him the new sultan.
Halil pasha:
With the passing of our past sultan, the next sultan will be his only son and bearer of the power!
I hereby crown Yasin Yildirim the twentieth sultan of the realms!
Everyone cheers and raise their cups into the air!
But to be expected the elves and demihuman kings dont cheer or raise their cups.
Yasin rises up and walks up to the throne.
He takes a good look at the throne…
He remembers his father.
Yasin closes his eyes and sits on the throne.
Everyone lets out another cheer.
After a few minutes people anxiously awaits his words.
Yasin is confused with emotions.
He just lost his father and unsure if he can defend the realm against the demon lord.
Yasin stands up.
He breaks the silence.
Yasin:
The former sultan may have passed, my father but with that i Yasin yildirim. will give my life to defend the realms!
As my forefathers did.
I bare the power as they did.
We will go through a new era and will reign victorious over the demon lord.
Everyone in the hall cheers and shouts!
Yasin sits back down and gazes throughout the room.
He sees all of his noblemen enjoying the moment.
Zulkarneyn and the viziers having a discusion.
His family members quietly sitting and looking down.
The dwarfen lord and the demihuman king having a drinking contest.
But—
He feels a sharp gaze on him.
He looks the elven king dead in the eyes.
Without saying anything a thousand words have been exchanged.
Yasin unsure on what to do. He does not look away.
The elven king stops matching his gaze and takes his leave to return back to the elven kingdom.
Elven king:
He is a weak… this is the time little sister.
Lea grins as they both take their leave.
Yasin unsure if he has done the right thing.
Yasemin walks up to Yasin.
Yasemin:
You know how weak you just made us look?
Yasin:
What do you mean? I am the sultan!
Yasemin:
It isn't about strength dumb brother…
He knows you are clueless and scared…
Yasin gasps…
Yasin (innervoice):
D-did i really just make us look weak?!
Yasemin walks away as the scene closes.
After the ceremony.
Yasin sits on his bed and is just confused.
He knows he's strong but he doesn't bare the gift of the power.
He is frustrated.
Yasin lets out a sigh
Tears flowing from his eyes
He angrily punshes his leg.
Yasin:
Why… why WHY!
Yasin:
I should've inherited the power right away!
Why is it that i don't posses it?
Zulkarneyn walks in.
Zulkarneyn:
Sultan… i have assembled the council. You will have to come with me.
Yasin gets all his strength togheter and follows him.
They enter the discussion hall.
A big round table has been filled.
Around it sitting the most wise council.
Yasin just sits there quietly still thinking why this has happened.
Haci pasha:
Does the boy possess the power?
Hassan pasha:
It's Sultan for you!
He says with a rough voice.
Zulkarneyn:
I have summoned the council of grand viziers because you all know what has been going on…
The former sultan has been slayn.
The new Sultan Yasin does not bear the power.
The grand viziers all fall silent and deep in thought.
Mehmet pasha:
How can this be?!
Hassan pasha :
If we knew this then we wouldn't be here right now discussing it…
Yussuf pasha:
Then we know this much.
The former sultan has been slayed.
By the demon lord no less.
We have witnesses.
The body has been examined the marks are gone.
The power has disappeared but never for this long.
The current sultan has not received it..
Hassan pasha:
There are only two possibilities here.
Either the power has been completely eradicated or Sultan Fikret has another son.
Sharp eyes gazes the room and a little murmur.
Mehmet pasha:
How can this be?!
If that was the case we would have known this!
The sultan wouldnt have been so reckless to not let this be known.
He simply doesn't know the boy is alive!.
Yussuf pasha:
So there are three things we can do.
1. We can check for the sisters to bear the power.
2. We can wait for the demonlord to invade the country
3. We look for leads on the true heir of the throne.
If the sister bear the power we have no option but to crown a female sultan.
We will know the power has been destroyed if the demon lord recklessly attacks multiple settlements
When the two options mentioned fail to happen then we need to find the heir.
Zulkarneyn looks nervously around him as murmurs start to get louder.
He slams his fist on the table and shouts.
Zulkarneyn:
Damn you! I told you not to do it!
That witch!
Gulsah balkar!
Everyone has either a shocked face or a sharp gaze.
Zulkarneyn:
The former sultan Fikret he fell in love with her.
Never had i known they had a child!
Even if Fikret had known he would've told me!
We cannot let this kid be the heir!
We dont know him!
If we just slayed him the power has to be transfered to sultan Yasin!
A moment of silence…
Hassan pasha:
There has never been a scription that the power would transfer from brother to brother!
If we would do this then we could doom all of humanity!
Haci pasha:
We cant let a boy of a witch sit on the throne are you mad!
We should take the opportunity now!
Yussuf pasha:
It would be wise to take action before the kid learns how to control the power.
Mehmet pasha:
The kid cant learn it without us to guide him.
We should take the boy in and teach him.
We can make him serve the nation not as a sultan but as a soldier.
Haci pasha:
We cant trust a son of a witch.
I say slay the boy.
Mehmet pasha:
Please you are all making a mistake. The boy is unknown this can end very wrong!
Yussuf pasha:
Indeed this could end very wrong for us.
He could end up incredibly powerful against us.
He could ruin the nation.
He can fall to the demon lord.
Or he would be a great sultan.
Yasin unknowing on what to do.
His lack of experience.
Lack of judgement.
He breaks the loud discussions.
Yasin:
I AM THE SULTAN!
You all are servants to me!
I have heard what you all have to say.
My decision will be…
To take his life and to take the power for myself.
Its the best thing to do for our nation.
We cant let the demon lord get away with this!
You are all excused.
Hassan Pasha storms out!
The rest of the grand viziers walk out.
Yasin:
Uncle find out where they live!
We should put this all behind us now rather than later.
Zulkarneyn:
Consider it done.
Scene 5: The pit of darkness
Aslan is infront of his house practicing his wind magic.
Now he doesn't have to sit still and concentrate so much
He jump from side to side and making air slices throughout his garden.
The garden is a mess.
Clothes, leaves and debris are everywhere.
As he is practising he hears a chirp chirp noice behind him.
He turns around and sees a bird laying on the floor and trying to fly back up.
His wing appears to be broken…
Aslan stares at the bird as reality settles in.
Aslan keeps staring at the bird as he zones out.
Around him appears darkness.
Its engulfing him and the bird.
Aslan is getting dark veins on his body again.
As he stares at the bird his reality starts to shake.
A dark mysterious crackling voice.
???:
kiiiiiiiiiill
Aslan starts to panic inside of his mind.
He cant move or look away.
???:
kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiill!
The voice is getting louder.
Aslans hand starts moving towards the bird…
Then—
Gulsah:
Aslaaaaaaaaan!
Everything turns back to normal!
Aslan gets full control of his body and mind again.
He looks back at his mother and hugs her.
Gulsah:
What was that?
Aslan:
I- i don't know…
He lets out some tears.
Gulsah looks down to him with an uneasy face.
She sees the bird laying down and picks him up and carries it home.
Gulsah:
lets fix him up!
Aslan:
Yeah!
He starts to smile and runs inside.
Gulsah just looking at her son knowing something…
As Gulsah walks inside—
A hidden ninja like figure is watching Aslan.
Ninja:
Found you!
He jumps away.
