🔥 Prologue – Call of the Crown (5 min)
As twilight bleeds crimson over the plains of Eldros, Lysara collapses in a trance. The Flamecrown, locked away since Mirthalos, ignites in its chamber without firewood or spark. Her eyes glow with molten light. She whispers in a forgotten tongue: “I am called. The flame remembers.”
🕯️ Act I – The Infernal Plane (10 min)
Alaric and the others watch helplessly as Lysara’s body is engulfed in a pillar of fire, and vanishes. She awakens in the Infernal Plane, a realm of living fire, ash dunes, and skies burning with impossible constellations.
A flame-being known as Emberthane greets her. “To rise, you must be burned clean. No lie survives fire.”
She is led to the Crucible of Truth, where she must endure trials of identity, destiny, and purpose.
🪞 Act II – Faces of Flame (12 min)
The first trial reveals her younger self, afraid and angry. “Why did you abandon me?” the girl cries. The second shows herself as tyrant, ruling with flame and fear, crowned in wrath.
“You could be this,” says Emberthane. “You still might.”
But in the final trial, she meets Queen Maeryn, her ancestor, wrapped in flame and sorrow. Maeryn offers her the Flamecrown again. Lysara kneels, but lifts it not in fury, but reverence. “I take it not to burn,” she says, “but to see.”
🌄 Act III – Return to the Light (8 min)
Back in the waking world, the sky splits with golden fire. Lysara reappears, floating above the camp, eyes ablaze with calm power. Her voice echoes layered, ancient and new:
“I am the Light Between Flames.”
Her touch heals wounds. With a breath, dead crops rise. Forests flicker with renewal. Yet her voice sometimes speaks in tongues no one taught her.
⚖️ Act IV – The High Flamecaller (10 min)
News spreads: the High Flamecaller has risen. Shrines light spontaneously. Some call her goddess. Others call her danger. Even Alaric is unsure. “You’re not just Lysara anymore,” he says.
She smiles, but it’s distant. “I’m what I must be. For now.” Her gaze flickers with flame and starlight.
As night falls, she collapses in secret, whispering names of cities long dead. The power she holds is not limitless, and its source remains unknown.
🎵 Final Montage (4 min)
- Monks of the Emberglass sanctum fall to their knees as flame dances in their scrolls.
- The Dominion spies send word: “She walks again, crowned and unbroken.”
- A comet of fire crosses the sky, and children across Eldros dream of her face.
- Far below the earth, something ancient stirs at her awakening, and smiles.
