Script:

Dialogue:
Narrator: "In this world, the gods shape all things. Orin watches the threads of fate. Saphia stirs hearts with love. Theros commands the seas, while Sona grants wisdom. Embris kindles fire and war, and Faunos nurtures the earth.
And Seluna, goddess of the moon and music, is the rhythm of the world. Her light soothes the lost, her songs weave harmony from chaos. She is the quiet beauty of the night, the voice that carries through the dark.
But her name fades, her melodies fall silent.
Forgotten gods do not vanish… but even gods can grow weary of waiting."

Seluna: "Soren... You are a protector, then?"
Soren: "I fight to keep the towns safe. These creatures started attacking ten years ago—came out from the shadows, one by one. Now they attack anyone in the night. Not many have the strength or power to fight 'em off but me. It's a struggle even for me. Many have begun to even curse the gods, especially Seluna for letting monsters use her moonlight as cover.”
Seluna: "Why now? What awakens them from the dark?"
(In her head): “They blame me? The goddess of the moon... for their fear?”
Soren: "Don’t know. Just know they’re out there. And I’m here to stop ’em."
Seluna: “Perhaps, mercenary, we can find the answers together. Bring me to the city."
