PHANTOM ASHES – EPISODE 11
Scene 1 – Guild Dormitory – Night (Ren & Zeno's Room)
(Ren and Zeno stand near the window. The outside view is beautiful, moonlight softly falling on their faces.)
[SFX: Light breeze, distant night sounds]
(The door opens with a soft click. Emi enters.)
Emi (playfully):
What are you two doing here?
(In a flash, Emi appears between them. Ren and Zeno are shocked.)
Ren (startled):
Whoa! Emi?! How are you so fast?
Zeno (blinking):
When... did you even arrive?
Emi (with a cute smile):
Surprised again, aren't you?
Ren (curious):
How are you always this quick?
Emi (sweet tone):
It all depends on your training.
You're still new... you'll learn everything gradually.
Emi (gently):
And in three months… when you become junior guild members,
everything will start to make sense.
(Ren and Zeno look at each other and smile confidently.)
Scene 2 – Grake's Dormitory – Bathroom to Bedroom
(Grake is taking a shower. Steam fills the space. His thoughts echo in the background.)
Grake (V.O.) (determined):
No worries...
Next time, for sure... Hahaha. (low sinister laugh)
(Grake steps out wrapped in a towel, pulls clothes from the wardrobe. His roommate sits on the bed.)
Roommate (grinning):
Heard about it… good effort, but didn't work out.
Grake (calmly, drying his hair):
Hmm...
Roommate (teasingly):
Next time I'll give it a try...
And just watch — I'll separate Ren from Zeno.
(Grake gives him a mysterious smile. The silence builds tension.)
Grake (cold smirk):
Challenge accepted.
Scene 3 – Kaen Voss' Office – Day Before Training
(Mr. Kael, Vanya, Malric, and Kaen Voss are gathered. Files are spread across the table.)
Mr. Kael (serious tone):
Their mental and physical training should continue.
Vanya (agreeing):
Yes. After three months, when we test them...
Whoever passes... will be introduced to Noa.
Kaen Voss (firmly):
Understood. That's the plan.
(A staff member, with a curious smile, speaks up.)
Staff Member:
Sir, now that they've passed all three trials,
Shouldn't we collect their biodata?
Mr. Kael (dismissively):
There's no need. Everything's been fine so far.
Kaen Voss (pauses thoughtfully):
No, Mr. Kael. Still...
Collect full biodata on all trainees. I want detailed information on each of them.
Mr. Kael (nodding):
Yes, sir.
(Kaen Voss switches on the intercom for a guild-wide announcement.)
Kaen Voss (PA system):
Starting tomorrow morning, Vanya and Malric will lead physical and mental training.
Mr. Kael will compile biodata for all trainees.
Guild staff, complete your assigned association work.
