The world needs you

Setting: Midnight. Stars hang low in the sky. The campus is asleep, silent. But deep in every corner of the college, the spirit-wielders stir.

📍Aahi's Room

She turns in her sleep. A faint hum begins to echo from her bag. The Fire Spirit Charm begins to glow — a burning amber light slowly expanding outward.

Suddenly — CHANSEY appears at the foot of her bed, wide-eyed and tense.

> "Aahi… wake up."

Aahi opens her eyes slowly. She sees the glow. The heat.

> "What's going on?"

Chansey's voice is serious, for the first time ever.

> "The others… they're waking too. It's happening."

📍Blue's Room

Blue sits up, jolted awake by the icy blue glow from her wrist.

> "Zappy—!"

> "I feel it," Zappy says, appearing instantly, swirling in a whirl of mist. "Spirit energy is surging. This isn't random."

> "Then what is it?"

Zappy's eyes flash.

> "It's a call. The spirit world is warning us."

📍Tina's Room

Terra appears mid-air, shaking her little fists.

> "Tina! Tinaaa! Your bracelet's vibrating like a mole on caffeine!"

Tina groans groggily, then gasps when she sees green vines creeping lightly from her bracelet.

> "Okay what the heck is going on?!"

Terra floats closer, unusually serious.

> "It's starting. Something's moving. Something big."

📍Snow's Room

Puff hovers near Snow, glowing with frost particles.

> "Snowy…"

Snow opens her eyes instantly, sensing the energy.

> "I know. I feel it."

> "The world's shifting. Even the winds know it. Light and shadow are crossing."

---

📍Shine's Room

Sparkle is glowing golden on the edge of her desk.

> "Hearts will be tested. Yours most of all."

Shine clutches her bracelet.

> "Why now?"

> "Because… now the world needs your warmth."

📍Aarif's Room

Aarif jerks awake, sweat on his brow. Sas stands beside him, arms crossed like stone.

> "This… this isn't just spirit awakening, is it?"

Sas replies, his voice grave.

> "No. This is the warning before the war. Before darkness makes its move."

---

📍All of Them… in their room

> Each of them stands — in shock, fear, strength, or confusion. But one truth binds them.

> The bracelets glow.

> The spirits glow.

> And in every one of their hearts… a message appears in fire, frost, vines, waves, light, or stone:

"The world needs you.

Your bond is chosen.

Now… your war begins."
