Season 2, Episode 3: The Moment When Darkness Whispers

Opening Scene:

In a dimly lit chamber, seven dark sorcerers gathered, their forms shrouded in shifting shadows. Each of them had different origins and terrifying powers, but tonight, their faces bore a rare expression—concern, even fear. They had all felt it. The ripple through time. The disturbance in the balance. The impossible truth.

Merlin had returned.

For centuries, they had schemed in the darkness, manipulating the flow of fate. Yet now, everything was about to change. Merlin's presence alone threatened to unravel everything they had built.

Erebos (with a cold voice):

"Something is changing… I can feel it. The fabric of time… Those children, they found the book, and…"

A tense silence fell over the room. The other sorcerers turned their gazes toward Erebos, their expressions unreadable. Slowly, they began to speak, one by one.

Lyra (with a hushed tone):

"Yes, I feel it too. A disturbance in my mind, a whisper in the shadows. They want Merlin to return… but we all know—his power was never like ours. If he is reborn, everything we have done could be erased."

Araziel (his voice trembling with unease):

"To sense Merlin's return… Once, we believed he was gone forever. But this… this feeling tells me his strength is growing. We must stop this before it's too late."

Veldros (his fists clenched in anger):

"If Merlin is coming back, we must be ready. There was nothing left to bring him back before. But now… now time itself has shifted. I can feel it. The darkness we mastered is at stake."

Orcus (taking a deep breath):

"Yes, time is changing. His return means everything starts over. But we must remember—we are still powerful. The dark arts have always served us well."

Morwen (her voice steady, calculated):

"We must do everything in our power to prevent Merlin's return. He is not just a man—he is a legend. Our purpose… is to end that legend."

Solarius (nodding in agreement):

"We understand. We thought time itself had buried him, but we made a mistake. Those children have opened a new path. Merlin may return… and we must be prepared for what comes next. If we fail to stop him, then darkness will fade forever."

The Master of Darkness (his voice cold and resolute):

"We must stand together to stop Merlin's return. His power is unlike anything we have faced before. But I tell you this—we have always been stronger. If we unite, we can strike before he regains his full strength. Time may shift, but we… we must rule it."

Erebos (lowering his head, his voice almost a whisper):

"Those children… and Merlin's return. We are watching their every move. But there is something else… the aura surrounding that book. If we wield the right dark magic, even his immortality can be broken. Just touching it… could be fatal."

The Master of Darkness (his voice growing sharper):

"Our purpose is clear. If Merlin returns, the balance of the world will reset. But this is an opportunity for us. If we can stop his resurrection, we can seize control of everything. This war… begins now."

Next Scene:

In the chamber of darkness, each sorcerer fell into their own thoughts, calculating their next move. They had long seen Merlin as a threat, a force that once stood in their way. His death had granted them a world free of resistance, a world they could shape as they pleased.

But now, everything was changing.

The return of the greatest sorcerer in history meant only one thing.

A war was coming.
