Chapter 6: Hanto and the Miraculous Power

  Scene 1: After the Defeat

  After the crushing defeat by the creature Karizar inside the temple, the knights barely escape and return to their camp outside the ruins.

  Everyone is wounded—especially Hakura and Lorena. Morale is at its lowest.

  Master Faeron:

  "This creature… it's no ordinary beast. It's an ancient guardian… twisted by Zork’s magic."

  Scene 2: The Ghost of Despair

  The knights debate retreating. Doubt starts creeping into their hearts.

  Hanto sits apart from the group, staring at the broken sword—shattered with a single blow.

  He begins recalling moments from his past—when he was chosen by the Sacred Flame of Purity… but never understood why.

  ---

  Scene 3: The Awakening of the Runes

  That night, Karizar returns without warning—this time striking their camp directly.

  The knights try to fight back, but they’re quickly overpowered.

  As Karizar prepares to strike down Hakura, Hanto jumps in, taking the fatal blow to protect her.

  At the moment he falls, his blood touches the temple's sacred ground—and ancient runes begin to emerge across his body.

  The runes glow in blue-golden light, pulsing like a new heart beneath his skin.

  Faeron (stunned):

  "Those are… the Runes of Spiritual Combat! A forgotten legend… they only awaken in one who carries the will of pure light."

  ---

  Scene 4: The True Battle Begins

  Hanto rises, his body lit with glowing runes. His eyes shine brightly, and his shattered sword reforms—reborn from pure light.

  He moves at blinding speed, outmaneuvering Karizar at every turn.

  With a single powerful strike, he pierces through Karizar’s core—and the cursed crystal is expelled from its chest.

  Hanto (with a new, deeper voice):

  "This land… will no longer be defiled by Zork’s magic."

  The monster screams and vanishes into a cloud of black dust.

  ---

  Scene 5: Everyone in Shock

  The runes on Hanto’s body begin to fade. He breathes heavily, nearly collapsing.

  Hakura (in awe):

  "What… is this power? Who are you?"

  Hanto:

  "I don't know… but this power… it wasn’t mine alone. It answered the call to protect you."

  ---

  Final Scene

  Master Faeron looks at Hanto, eyes filled with something between fear and reverence.

  Faeron:

  "The Sacred Knights were chosen… but one among them may be more than just a knight.

  You… may be the one to lead the light against Zork’s darkness."

  The camera lingers on Hanto’s back… one glowing rune remains.
