Opening Scene: A Normal Life… Or is it?
Setting: A bustling high school in the small town of Briarwood. Sunlight streams through the windows as students chat between classes.
SCENE 1: LYRIA'S ORDINARY WORLD
(The camera follows Lyria Carter, 17, a bright but slightly awkward girl with auburn hair, as she walks through the hallway. She clutches her books tightly, glancing at her reflection in a window—her amber eyes flicker gold for a split second, unnoticed by her.)
Lucas (Lyria's best friend, jogging up to her):
"Hey, Lyria! You spaced out again. Did you even hear the bell?"
Lyria (blinking, startled):
"Oh! Right. Sorry. Just… thinking."
Lucas (grinning):
"About how you made the science lab's lights explode yesterday?"
Lyria (nervous laugh):
"That was a power surge! It happens!"
(A few students nearby whisper, eyeing her suspiciously. Lyria tenses but keeps walking.)
SCENE 2: STRANGE HAPPENINGS
Setting: After school, Lyria's cozy but cluttered bedroom. Fairy lights hang above her desk, where she doodles strange symbols in her notebook.
(She absentmindedly twirls a pencil it suddenly floats midair. She gasps, and it clatters down.)
Lyria (whispering to herself):
"Okay… that's new."
(Her locket (a family heirloom) glows faintly. She touches it FLASH! A vision: A crumbling castle, a woman's voice calling her name.)
Lyria (startled):
"What was THAT?!"
(A loud CRASH outside. She rushes to the window—shadows are twisting unnaturally in the alley below.)
SCENE 3: FIRST ENCOUNTER WITH DANGER
Setting: The dark alley behind Lyria's house. Fog curls along the ground as eerie whispers fill the air.
(A shadowy figure with glowing red eyes steps forward a Shadowling, minions of the villain.)
Shadowling (hissing):
"The Starfire heir… we've found you."
Lyria (backing up):
"Stay away!"
(Her locket bursts with light, forcing the creature back. But more emerge from the darkness. Just as one lunges.)
???: (a commanding voice)
"Lumina Blast!"
(A stream of golden magic strikes the Shadowlings. A young woman in a flowing silver-and-blue uniform lands gracefully Seraphina, a senior fairy from Aetheria Academy.)
Seraphina (extending a hand):
"Lyria Carter. You're coming with me."
SCENE 4: WELCOME TO AETHERIA ACADEMY
Setting: A hidden realm Aetheria Academy, a grand floating castle surrounded by waterfalls and glowing flora.
(Lyria gapes as winged students practice spells, and enchanted books flutter past.)
Lyria (stunned):
"This… is impossible."
Seraphina (smirking):
"Not for a fairy."
(Headmistress Orla, an elegant woman with emerald-green wings, approaches.)
Headmistress Orla:
"Lyria, you've been hidden in the human world for your safety. But your magic has awakened—and darkness seeks it."
(She gestures to Lyria's locket it floats and transforms into a delicate wand.)
Lyria (whispering):
"I'm… a fairy?"
(The wand reacts to her emotions, sparking uncontrollably. The stained-glass windows rattle, and students gasp.)
Seraphina (grinning):
"Well. This'll be fun."
SCENE 5: FIRST GLIMPSE OF DESTINY
Setting: The academy's training grounds at sunset.
(Lyria, still shaky, attempts her first spell under Seraphina's guidance.)
Seraphina:
"Focus on your light. Say: 'Stella Ignite!'"
(Lyria takes a deep breath her wand glows weakly, then bursts into radiant golden flames! The other fairies watching cheer.)
Lyria (laughing in disbelief):
"I did it!"
(But in the distance, a pair of sinister eyes watch from the shadows the villain's spy.)
