Act 3: strengthening bonds
(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 truth will reveal itself
The scene opens with the elven king Aurenvir talking to his sister Lea.
Aurenvir ( with a look of ignorance):
Lea i dont know what to think about this new sultan.
I dont think he has what it takes to run against the demon lord.
We should prepare ourselves for anything.
Lea:
you are right brother, this silly boy hasn't even gone for his ceremonial hunt yet.
Aurenvir:
Thats definitely alarming.
Do you think there is a problem with the power?
Lea:
its very possible, he might not even be the one to inherit it and if i am not mistaken somewhat 400 years ago Sultan Kerem was supposed to inherit the power but never did.
Aurenvir:
I remember, they send him off to some far school to be a diplomat never to be seen again.
How are they gonna cover this up?
Lea ( with a smirk):
Ooooh Aurenvir…. They cant. The truth will reveal itself and soon we will learn about the truth.
Scene 2: Bonding
Hakan and Aslan are playing outside.
They love to jump from rooftop to rooftop.
While jumping Hakans stomach rumbles…
Hakan:
maaaaan im hungry!
Aslan looks at him and is thinking.
Aslan:
i got it give me that hook you found earlier!
Hakan hands him the hook.
Hakan:
what are you gonna use that for?
Aslan is being creative and ties a small piece of rope to the hook and lays down on the rooftop.
Hakan follows and looks down.
Hakan:
you are a genius!
Aslan lowers the hook and lets it hover over a fruit stand.
Being sneaky and handy he hooks a bunch of bananas.
He slowly lifts it up in the air.
Midway in the air the stand owner yells.
Owner:
hey! Hey! You gotta pay for those!
He looks up and see aslan and hakan running away with the bananas.
Owner: you damn little thieves!
Aslan and hakan are running and laughing at the same time…
Hakan falls downstairs…
Luckily his fall was broken by a man who is very angry!
Angry man:
get off me you little brat!
He shoves Hakan off of him and wants to harm him.
Aslan throws the bananas on the mans face!
The angry man looks at Aslan.
Angry man:
now you've done it!
Hakan locks his feet and the man trips…
Angry man:
you two little fools come here!
Before he can reach Hakan and Aslan the village guards come.
Guard: what is the matter here?
A lady who was sitting on the ground gets up.
Lady:
this man was harassing me and these two little boys saved me.
The scene shows aslan and hakan picking up all the bananas with one in their mouth.
They are clueless on what is happening and just want to save their precious bananas…
The guards take the man away and the lady approaches them.
Lady:
i am so thankful for you two! You are my heroes!
She gives a kiss on the cheek on both of them.
???:
petrice! There you are!
Joshy told me of what happened.
Is the matter over?
Petrice:
yes my lady sylvia
Sylvia:
very well get back too work!
Petrice thanks the boys again and hurries.
Sylvia:
well so you two are the ones to thank.
Adorable!
Oh my… so strong! you two will be excellent future customers.
She ends with a posh laugh.
Aslan and hakan still looking at her clueless as ever…
Sylvia:
joshy!!!
From a far Joshy runs towards her.
Joshy:
yes my lady?
Sylvia:
see that these two are rewarded for their heroics.
Ta-da… bye boys.
She walks away as she waves at them.
Joshy:
please follow me. I am Joshy, miss syliva her assistant.
Aslan:
nice to meet you, i am Aslan and this is Hakan.
How come i have never seen you play outside?
Joshy:
oh no i cant… you see i have pledged my loyalty towards miss sylvia ever since she took me in.
Aslan:
so you are her slave?
Joshy:
NO! Not a slave… an a-
Aslan:
servant?
Joshy:
NO! A assistant!
Aslan and hakan laugh at eachother teasing Joshy.
Aslan:
so why do you have a funny head shape?
Joshy:
w-what? Whats wrong with my head shape? Its normal!
Aslan:
just teasing you.
So whats our reward?
They arrive at the shed behind the brothel…
Joshy:
you can have 1 item each from this shed.
Hakan and aslan are gazing through the rewards…
They are all old and shiny relics, amulets, rings, antique's and then…
They both jump towards a blacked bone dagger…
Hakan:
no its mine! I saw it first!
But aslan already holds it in his hands…
Hakan:
not fair!
Joshy! You got any food in here?
Joshy:
uh… noo… you can have treasure and you want food?
Hakan:
damnit…
Hakan looks around and sees an silver amulet with a strange looking crest and gem inside.
He likes it!
Hakan picks up the amulet.
Joshy:
you two happy with what you got?
They both nod.
Joshy:
i got to get back to lady sylvia now.
Its was to meet you two!
Aslan and hakan say their goodbyes and run off!
Scene 3: Training in the endless pit of darkness
The boys are training sword fighting with Aslan his grandfather.
Erdal:
Safer, you got to hold your blade with both hands when you block and dont close your eyes okay?
Safer (unsure):
ok!
Erdal:
alright go again.
Hakan runs towards safer and fakes with an right swing and goes for the left swing instead.
Safer tries to block the right swing but sees its a fake.
Safer (innervoice):
he faked?! Really?
He closes his eyes but remembered erdal his words.
(Dont close you eyes).
He quickly opens them and tries to block the left swing.
Its blocked!
Safer smiles but only for a second…
Hakan slides his wooden sword of safer his wooden sword while pushing him back.
Safer is out of balance…
Hakan quickly strikes 3 times which safer parries but hakan then lands a heavy blow on safer his knee!
Safer falls to the ground and hakan points the wooden sword towards him.
Hakan:
you would be so death it this was a real battle!
Erdal (rollin eyes):
alright alright we know it you are strong!
Alright let me demonstrate a technique not even brute force can win from!
Aslan!
Aslan was chatting to his friends and gets startled…
Aslan:
yes grandpa?!
Erdal:
i will need you to demonstrate on!
Aslan jumps up and gets ready.
Aslan:
ready grandpa!
Erdal bends his knees and holds the wooden sword with one hand while the other is stretched out behind him.
Aslan runs towards him trying to hit his grandfather but he stumbles on a tree root and falls down.
Before he falls down Erdal with wind magic swoops him up.
Erdal:
be carefull boy!
Aslan:
yes grandpa!
Aslan (innervoice):
that was so lame! I cannot fail!
Erdal has his stance ready.
Aslan runs at him again he is light on his feet so he jumps right and goes to the left with a spinning sword slash…
Erdal blocks and goes on the attack.
Aslan thought his grandfather would stay back but when he realises that erdal is so close on him he jumps right towards erdal.
Erdal parries his hit and with a spinning agile move he makes aslan trip.
Aslan falls to the ground and erdal points a sword towards him.
Aslan:
dammit i failed!
Erdal:
easy boy its alright to fail…
Aslan:
no! No its not!
Erdal bends his knee and talks with aslan.
Erdal:
you know how many times your uncle Ali failed at this training?
He got angry too but he learned to always have a cool head and get back on his feet.
Eventually you will grow up to be a strong man!
Aslan looks at his grandfather with fire in his eyes…
Aslan:
i like to try again!
erdal helps aslan up.
They walk opposite from eachother away.
Erdal:
alright lets do It!
Aslan smirks
Erdal looks at aslan and knows something is up.
Aslan rushes towards erdal and he does the same thing but this time he uses wind magic.
He fakes right and flies towards the left side but when erdal expected this Aslan flies towards the right again.
Erdal's eyes widden!
Erdal (innervoice):
h-how?
With wind magic aslan gain incredible speed and power!
He does the spinning slash and lands 10 hits but they are all blocked by Erdal.
Erdal jumps back.
Erdal:
boy where did you learn this and when?
Aslan smirks but stays focused!
Erdal:
very sneaky to use this without my knowledge however i am sooo proud of you!
Erdal turns almost into a loving mother while saying it.
Aslan jumps far into the air and erdal notices it but what he doesnt notice is that aslan also made two gusts of winds from right to left and left to right. They almost hit erdal but he generates wind magic to make it flow past him.
He readies his sword for the incoming hit from above.
Blocked!
Aslan jumps back but erdal uses wind magic to make a tiny tornado that sends aslan flying and back on his bum
Aslan groans of pain.
Erdal walks up to aslan
Erdal (proudly):
You are eager and i am gonna take you to the next level!
Aslan however doesnt respond…
Erdal looks back to aslan but his eyes widen.
A strong aura presence!
Erdal (shocked):
a-aslan?!
He sees dark veins pop up from his hands and reaching his neck.
Erdal unsure what to do but… he knows this power! He seen it before!
Erdal:
alright class dismissed now!
Hakan open the door!
The class confused but leave the area…
Hakan confused on whats happening but rushes towards the door to open it.
A big wave of wind magic pulses of aslan.
The door is shut.
Erdal slides back from the power!
Erdal:
Aslan! Come back to your senses!
Hakan is just hugged towards the wall of fear
Erdal runs towards aslan but makes his body small to fight the pulses of wind.
He grabs aslan and pins him to the ground!
Erdal:
aslan? Aslan? Come back to us!
Aslan does not respond!
Erdal:
hakan grab the bucket of water!
Hakan quickly grabs the bucket and throws it on aslan!
The veins disappear but aslan does not wake up this time.
Erdal rushes him inside to put in bed.
Erdal:
hakan go get gulsah!
Hakan rushes out the house.
Erdal looks at aslan concerningly
Somewhere outside of the village…
A mysterious man is walking in a forrest.
Looking down you cannot make out his face.
Looking very rough and strong.
A big wave of aura hits him.
He stops and he looks to the tree line with a sharp gaze
He jumps away.
Scene 4: The Turth
Hakan and Gulsah run into erdal his home.
Gulsah panic written on her face!
Gulsah:
Aslan? What happened father?
Erdal is sitting down next to Aslan.
Erdal (concerned):
Hakan go home before it gets dark…
Hakan looks at Aslan.
Erdal:
he will be fine you will see him tomorrow!
Hakan is very concerned but walks out.
Erdal (serious):
who is Aslan his father?
Gulsah is shocked by the question
Gulsah:
you know who!
Erdal:
the adventurer that we never met and died in a dungeon?
Gulsah:
you know its fikret! She lets out some tears…
Erdal:
why did you lie to me?
Gulsah:
it was never to last and i know you cant stand them!
Erdal wants to say something but he stops…
Erdal:
look i know i dont see eye to eye with them but this was important!
I should've known!
Anyways aslan will be fine… for now…
Gulsah looks at her father with tears in her eyes.
Gulsah:
for now? What do you mean?
Erdal:
fikret passed away and if Aslan is the one who inherited the power then the yildirims would know!
Does anybody know about you?
Gulsah:
i only met his little brother once…
Erdal:
that filthy zulkarneyn!
We gotta get Aslan out of here!
Gulsah:
how would they know? That's impossible!
Erdal:
look sweetie, the sultan always has alot of people on his side, eyes everywhere and if we know they know it too!
Gulsah:
alright so what are we going to do?
Erdal:
i dont know… not yet… we gotta send word out to your brother!
Stay here with Aslan and lock the door i will send a hawk!
Erdal leaves as he takes hos horse.
Gulsah sits down and looks at aslan then puts her hands on her face…
Scene 5: The dream
Aslan is walking in a mist like place.
It doesnt have the sky, no trees, no floor or anything.
Just completely surrounded by mist.
As he walks he scans his surroundings…
Aslan:
what is this place?
He walks a bit further then hears screaming up ahead!
He runs towards the sound but as he gets closer he can smell burning fire.
As he gets closer to the smell he sees a big town all up in flames…
Dead bodies everywhere…
He lets reality sink in and falls to his knees.
He has tears in his eyes as he doesn't know what is happening…
He hears a whisper from a far…
???:
stay stay stay strong strong strong…
Aslan:
what?! Who is there?!
But no reply.
He gets up and hears the whisper again but louder as if it was behind him.
???:
dont lose yourself!
He quickly turns around and falls on his back!
Aslan:
who is there?! What do you want?!
No reply…
As he gets up again he scans the place.
Nobody around only lifeless bodies and burning buildings…
He walks closer to the town and enters the town square.
The sight is dreadful and a pain to behold.
He sees a couple laying on the floor with their hands reaching out infront of them…
Spears into their backs…
Aslan cant look too long before he looks away…
He looks where the hands were reaching towards…
He sees a small girl around his age standing there looking at him.
Aslan:
hello?!
The whispers come back…
???: hide!!!!
This time it was no whisper it was a scream right in his ears.
He falls down holding his ears!
Aslan is shaking on the ground from fear…
As everything goes silent again he sits on his knees looking for the girl…
Rapid breathing from aslan but he doesn't see her anywhere…
Looking around he sees a shadowy figure in the far.
It looks like its getting closer and closer.
The figure gets bigger and bigger…
Aslan start to run the opposite direction but his speed has been slowed down. He barely moves forward.
As he runs the town is disappearing and everything is turning darker around him.
He looks back and the figure is right on him…
Trying to reach aslan…
Aslan screams but everything goes black…
Scene 6: battle of the heirs
Aslan screams as he wakes up!
He breathes rapidly but quickly gets hugged by his mother.
Gulsah:
its alright im here!
Aslan looks at his mother and also sees that his grandmother and grandfather are there…
Necla:
here have some water…
Aslan drinks the water and lays back down…
A few silent moments pass…
Erdal:
what did you see?
Aslan:
i-i dont remember… not well… there was a town… its was burning and there was a girl…
Everything went black when the shadow caught me…
Erdal:
yes you see Aslan…
Gulsah stands up.
Gulsah:
father dont!
Erdal:
the boy has to know!
Gulsah sits back down…
Erdal:
you have a power you see…
For several weeks now your mother has seen some change in you…
Its an ancient power that chooses only one person at a time…
We dont know too much about it and its dangerous to show it to the outside world for now…
I know i am asking alot from you but you have to hide your power!
As erdal said hide aslan his eyes widden!
Aslan:
the- the girl said that too!
Erdal looks at gulsah and back to aslan…
Erdal:
i dont know about this power too well but you gotta stay low for now.
We are going to move from this place tomorrow!
Aslan:
what about Hakan!
Erdal:
i already told them…
They are coming too!
Aslan lays back down and outs his hands in his eyes…
It's dark outside. Everyone is sound asleep.
A soft breeze rustles the trees. The only sound is the rhythmic song of crickets. Peaceful.
But the peace is an illusion.
Silhouettes leap from tree to tree—quick, precise. Like shadows come alive. Four cloaked figures land silently near the edge of a small, worn house nestled in the woods.
They move swiftly, surrounding the building.
One of them crouches and begins picking the lock, fingers nimble.
Suddenly—
Erdal:
I've been waiting for you.
The ninja jolts, startled, and falls backward. The others tense.
From the shadows, Erdal steps into view. His eyes gleam with knowing. He's older now, body stiff with time—but there's steel in his stance. Slowly, deliberately, he draws his blade.
The other ninjas quickly regroup and form a circle around him.
Erdal (smirking):
Zulkarneyn only sent you four? Hmph… what is he thinking?
He must think I'm too old to dance.
Ninja:
Give up, old man. You're surrounded. We just want the boy.
Erdal (voice rising):
You think you can take the rightful heir?! You're mad!
A pulse of wind explodes outward from Erdal, sending leaves and dust spiraling. In a blink, he launches forward, a blur of motion.
His blade meets the first ninja's chest, sending the man flying backward with a groan. The others move in—fast.
But Erdal is faster.
He spins, parries, counters—every strike graceful, every step practiced. He slashes one across the thigh, disarms another with a twist of his wrist.
Erdal (breathing steadily):
You boys aren't trained… You're rehearsed.
One-on-one, he holds the upper hand. Every movement reflects decades of war.
But age shows. His knees creak. His grip falters slightly. A ninja lands a punch to his ribs. Another slices his arm. He grits his teeth, blood soaking his sleeve.
They press in together now—four blades against one man.
Erdal staggers. One ninja kicks him in the back, another elbows his shoulder. He falls to a knee, panting.
The four stand around him, blades raised.
Ninja (coldly):
This is the end, Erdal.
Suddenly—
An arrow buries itself in a ninja's throat.
ALI (out of scene):
Step away from my father.
The others whirl around.
From the forest's edge, Ali appears, bow taut, face stone-cold with fury.
Erdal (chuckling through bloodied lips):
Took you long enough, boy.
Ali (without looking at him):
Now rest… old man. I'll handle this.
