Episode 6 – "The Silent Howl"
Opening Scene: The episode starts at night. The forest near the Village of Dawns is silent—too silent. Animals flee as an eerie wind blows. A dark shadow moves swiftly across the treetops. It’s an upper-class monster—wolf-like, with glowing blue markings and the ability to manipulate silence itself.

Scene 2: Training Grounds Tenzai trains alone under the waterfall from Episode 3. He’s frustrated. His lightning feels weak compared to Midori’s precise technique and Zetsuya’s raw power. He punches the water, saying, “I need to be stronger. I can’t keep being the weak link.”
Eva secretly watches from a distance, admiring his determination. She whispers, “You’re not weak, Tenzai…” and smiles, then leaves quietly.

Scene 3: Midori’s Moment In the village temple, Midori speaks with her retired mother. They discuss the pressure of being seen as the “chosen one.” Midori says, “What if I’m not? What if they’re wrong?”
Her mother replies, “Being strong doesn’t mean being chosen. But being chosen might mean making the hardest choices.”

Scene 4: Zetsuya’s Shadow Zetsuya walks through the village outskirts. He finds a strange symbol burned into a tree—a mark left by his corrupted parents. His eyes glow with pain. “They’re getting closer… I’ll protect this place, no matter what.”
---
Scene 5: The Silent Attack That night, the monster attacks a nearby hunter patrol. The village bells don’t ring—the sound has been stolen. One injured hunter barely makes it back and whispers, “A demon that eats sound… coming… here…”
The Kings immediately declare a Code Red.

Scene 6: The Trio Assembles Tenzai, Midori, and Zetsuya are called to the council. The king says, “You three will track it. If it reaches the village, we may not hear the screams until it's too late.”
---
Final Scene: As they move into the forest, a tense silence falls. No wind. No birds. No steps. Suddenly—
A glowing blue eye opens in the darkness.
Tenzai: “It’s here.”
Cut to black.
