Ashes of the Past

  The world has changed.Ten years ago, a mysterious global event awakened hidden abilities in people across the world. Some called them miracles. Others called them curses. Now, in this era of rising heroes and dangerous villains, children train to become the next generation of protectors—or destroyers.But for Yunus, it all began with fire.The crackle of flames still echoes in his dreams.He stands, frozen, as his house burns around him. Screams pierce the night—his mother's, his father's... his little brother’s cries. Shadows move within the fire, not human. Monsters in the shape of men. One of them turns, masked, and locks eyes with Yunus.A cruel voice whispers: "Run, little spark. Before you burn too."He remembers running. The heat licking at his heels. The smell of ash. Then… nothing.

  Ten Years Later – Hero Academy: Madinat al-QiyamYunus, now sixteen, wears the academy’s black-and-gold uniform. His sharp features and calm eyes give him a mature look beyond his age. His black hair is always slightly messy—he doesn’t care. He walks with quiet purpose through the bustling halls of Madinat al-Qiyam, one of the top hero academies in the country.Everyone knows his name. He’s the "Flame User"—or so he thinks.In reality, his true power is still sealed. His flames are only a fragment of what he once had.Yunus enters Class 1-A, where students from all walks of life sit with excitement and nervousness. His seat is by the window, as always. He gazes outside, eyes distant.Teacher Enters: A tall man in his 30s with dark eyes and a long green cloak steps in. His name is Ustadh Tariq al-Hakim, known as "The Iron Will." His power allows him to boost a student’s physical or mental ability temporarily through his words. A mentor with a past soaked in regret.“Welcome to your first day,” he says, voice calm but commanding. “This year will test your strength—not just your power, but your heart.”He writes on the board: To become a hero, you must first conquer yourself.

A burning village. Civilians screaming. A monster loose.Yunus feels something stir in his chest.The fire.It calls to him—not like a power, but like a memory.He rushes in to help a child trapped under rubble, and without realizing it, his flames burst larger than ever before—almost too powerful. He looks at his hands, confused. “This… wasn’t my fire.”Meanwhile, someone in the shadows watches the screen from the control room.A man in black, face hidden, voice low: “So he still doesn’t remember... good.”

  Final Scene – Late at NightYunus visits a grave in secret. It has no name. Just ashes.Behind him, a woman steps forward—his aunt, Ruqayyah. “You’ll find the truth one day, my son,” she says softly. “But know this... your brother loved you more than anything.”Yunus turns to her. “He’s gone because I wasn’t strong enough.”She shakes her head. “No... he made a choice. One you must one day understand.”As she walks away, Yunus clutches his hand.“I will become a hero. Not just for them… but to find the one who did this.”A spark flares in his palm.But deep inside… Another power stirs—forgotten, locked.Waiting to return.
