Cliche Story 3

Plot:

Seluna, goddess of the moon and music, is disheartened to find that her influence is fading. Her followers have vanished, and the world has fallen into a silence, as though her song has been erased from existence. She descends to the mortal realm and arrives at a once-vibrant city, Sorran, now consumed by shadows. People move about like ghosts, their eyes vacant and their voices mute. The city’s heart is still, but something lurks beneath the surface—an unnatural darkness that chokes out joy and light.

Seluna learns that a group of shadowmancers, dark sorcerers who have discovered a way to siphon the essence of the moon, have taken control of the city. They’ve created a magical curse that feeds off the fear and despair of the populace, drowning out the music of life. Worse, they’ve captured her most sacred artifact: the Lunar Harp, a divine instrument that channels her power through sound.

Seluna is drawn to a young warrior named Soren, a once-proud knight whose sister was taken by the shadowmancers. He believes music is a myth, something from the old world, and he’s long since given up hope. Initially, he refuses to help, but when Seluna reveals her true identity, he reluctantly agrees, motivated by the promise of revenge against those who ruined his life.

As they infiltrate the sorcerers’ stronghold, Seluna and Soren confront the dark magic that binds the city. In a final clash, Seluna must play the Lunar Harp in the heart of the shadowmancer’s lair, but the song is twisted by the shadows. As her melody grows stronger, so does the darkness—forcing her to choose between saving the city or losing herself to the very magic that once brought her power.

With Soren’s help, they manage to break the curse, but not without cost. The shadowmancers are vanquished, but the damage to the world is done. Seluna’s power is diminished, and the city’s memories of the music are fragmented and broken. She leaves behind a single note, a fragment of her song, hoping that one day the people will remember how to sing again.
