Scene One – Shadows Amid the Smoke

The camera moves through the falling dust and the debris left behind by the previous clash.

Huge rocks roll across the ground, and a sliver of light slips through the cave ceiling, illuminating the rubble.

Kyora was on his knees, panting heavily, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.

He slowly lifted his head and looked toward the giant beast.

Kyora (with a broken voice): His strength… unbelievable… how can we defeat him?

Rinyon (calmly, despite the blood staining her shoulder): Just trust yourself… if you doubt yourself, you lose before the battle even begins.

Kyora's eyes glimmered with renewed determination. He wiped the blood from his mouth and stood firmly.

Kyora: Yes… I won't let him win.

He dashed around the wolf with incredible agility, moving like white shadows in the darkness, while Rinyon launched a barrage of fireballs.

But the wolf roared and shook his body, dispersing the flames as if they were nothing but ashes.

Kyora leapt from behind, raised his staff with all his strength, and struck the wolf's head—

A loud metallic clang echoed through the cave, but the wolf did not budge an inch.

Kyora (shocked): Impossible… he didn't even feel it!

Before he touched the ground, the wolf swung his massive paw.

The powerful blow struck Kyora in the middle of his body.

He crashed into the cave wall like a rag doll, cracks spreading across the rocks behind him before he collapsed motionless, his staff rolling beside him.

Rinyon turned toward Kyora, shouting in panic.

Rinyon: Oi! Wake up! Kyora!!

She stumbled backward, gasping, but a huge shadow fell over her—

The wolf was right behind her, his fangs gleaming in the fiery glow from his mouth.

Wolf (in a rough, mocking voice): It's over…

He struck her with his paw. She tried to retreat, but his claws tore into her shoulder, blood splattering across the ground.

Rinyon winced in pain and clutched her wound.

Rinyon (screaming): I don't want to die here… not like this…

(shouting at Kyora) Kyora!!! You promised me… you said you wouldn't abandon me… so why are you silent now?!

But Kyora did not move.

Scene Two – Inside the Darkness of the Mind

Deep within his mind, darkness swallowed everything… no light, no sound except distant heartbeats.

The echo of small footsteps approached, and then a child appeared—his features unclear, his face covered in light.

Child (in a sad, echoing voice): Don't give up… please, don't leave me alone like they did…

Kyora reached out to him, running with everything he had, but the child faded before his eyes,

and a blinding white light engulfed the space.

Scene Three – The Rise of Frost

Back in the cave.

The camera zoomed in on Kyora's motionless body… suddenly, cold vapor rose from him.

The surrounding rocks froze gradually, icy cracks spreading along the ground like veins of frost.

His eyes opened slowly—glowing with a cold silver light.

He stood up, grabbed his staff, which shattered at the ends and transformed into a blade of pure ice.

The transformation

His hair slowly turned snow–white.

A glowing ice–star mark appeared under both his eyes, and another pulsed on his chest.

The air around him grew heavy, every breath freezing the atmosphere.

Wolf (laughing wildly): Hahaha… so you did have something fun inside you…!

But Kyora did not answer.

He vanished in an instant, leaving behind a swirl of cold smoke.

Wolf (stunned): Wha…? Where did he go?

He looked down—his leg was frozen up to the knee.

Then a cold voice echoed behind him.

Kyora (with death–like calm): The one… who will end you.

The wolf turned and saw Kyora standing on a tall rock, his icy blade dripping mist.

The beast roared, shaking the cave.

Wolf (grinning madly): You? Hahaha, show me what you've got!

He charged with lightning speed, his giant claws gleaming in the dark.

He struck at Kyora, but the ice blade blocked the attack with a thunderous metallic clash.

The ground quaked, stones falling from the ceiling.

Rinyon (astonished): I didn't expect this… his strength rivals the beast itself!

The battle raged on—ice blade against fiery fangs—

Each clash released white and red sparks, blending with the fog filling the cave.

The wolf hit Kyora with tremendous force, slamming him into the ground and leaving a massive crater.

Kyora rose again, panting.

Kyora (to himself): This body… it can't endure this power… but I must finish him before he finishes me.

The wolf opened his mouth and spat poisonous saliva, but Kyora extended his hand, freezing it midair into crystalline shards.

He then blitzed toward the beast and drove his blade into its chest.

Part of the wolf's body froze, but he roared fiercely and shattered the ice.

Rinyon (worried): This cave will collapse if they keep fighting like this!

Kyora (firmly): I'll gather everything into one final strike… I won't let these monsters remain!

He began circling the wolf at a speed beyond sight, leaving trails of shimmering frost.

Wolf (laughing): Don't think you're the only one who can speed up!

He charged wildly, matching Kyora's speed.

They collided, and the wolf crashed into the ground, causing a small quake.

Kyora stood near the ceiling, raising his hand upward as the air froze into silence.

Kyora (soft but sharp): Ice Star… White End!

Below, the wolf opened his mouth, gathering a blazing red sphere like a miniature sun.

Wolf (furiously): Hellfire!

In an instant, a white wave of ice descended from above, and a red beam of fire shot upward.

They clashed in the center of the cave—

A deafening explosion erupted, light consuming the entire scene,

and everything turned into pure white.

To be continued… ❄🔥
