Scene: Mist-Covered Forest
(Soft golden mist swirls between ancient trees. The world is silent except for the soft crunch of moss underfoot.)
Haruto and Airi walk hand-in-hand, their steps cautious but steady.
[Airi] (whispering)
"Are you sure this is the place?"
[Haruto] (nodding)
"The vision from the watch pointed here. Look—the symbol from the dream..."
(He gestures to the trees, where faint glyphs glow beneath layers of vine and bark.)
They pause before an overgrown stone gate, the ancient glyphs pulsing like a heartbeat beneath centuries of moss.
[Airi] (in awe)
"This place... it feels like it knows us."
As they step through, a low pulse echoes under their feet —
The Temple Breathes.

Inside the Forgotten Temple
(Glowing crystals light their path. The walls hum with memory.)
[Haruto]
"The watch... it's reacting."
[Airi] (holding her hand to her heart)
"The ring too. They're leading us somewhere."
Suddenly, the walls flare to life — revealing an ancient mural:
Two divine figures—one wielding a radiant watch, the other adorned with a celestial ring—standing against a storm of darkness.
[Airi] (softly, awe-struck)
"That's... us."
[Haruto] (barely breathing)
"Fragments of who we were..."

Deeper Within: The Altar Room
(A sealed door groans open, revealing an altar bathed in blinding light. At its center — an orb, pulsing like a living star.)
[Haruto] (stepping forward)
"What is that...?"
A voice answers from the shadows:
[Unknown Voice] (echoing)
"That is the Heart of Time. The last key to your divine memories."
The Time Maiden emerges, her figure serene, her light like soft moonfire.
[Time Maiden]
"The Time God remains in recovery... but he wished for me to give you this."
[Airi] (eyes narrowing)
"Why now?"
[Time Maiden] (somber)
"Because the Dark God no longer hides.
He prepares his final strike... and you must awaken before he does."

The Awakening
(They step to the altar. Their fingers, trembling slightly, brush the orb.)
Explosion of Light.
Visions tear through their minds:
Galaxies dying.
Battles waged on celestial planes.
Their divine selves — shining, furious, heartbreakingly beautiful.
And the betrayal that shattered the heavens.
[Haruto] (whispering, barely able to speak)
"So... that's who we were..."
[Airi] (gritting her teeth, strength returning)
"And what we must become."
---
The Challenge Appears
The ground trembles violently.
Above, the sky rips open.
A monstrous, shadow-cloaked beast — all claws and smoke and endless hunger — descends toward the temple.
[Airi] (eyes wide, horrified)
"That's not Kazuki..."
[Haruto] (tightening his grip on the watch)
"No.
That's something worse."
[Time Maiden] (voice grim)
"The Herald of the Void.
The Dark God's beast."
"He's come to test if you're ready... or if you should be destroyed."
---
Final Moments
Behind Haruto, the symbol from his vision ignites — a radiant sigil of time and light.
The Watch blazes.
The Ring blazes.
They exchange a look — a quiet, fierce promise.
No words needed.
Together, they leap into the air, light exploding behind them like divine wings, racing toward the monster tearing through the skies.
