⚔️ England Era 320
✦ "The Rebellion of Sindhura – The Mountain Sleeps No More" ✦
Opening Scene: Mountain Shadows
High above the world lies the secluded Kingdom of Sindhura, built into jagged cliffs and sacred plateaus. A neutral nation for centuries, its rulers believed in harmony over conquest, led by King Jivanta, the "Living Silence."
But that silence now breaks.
Inside the Crystal Monastery, cloaked monks gather. The wind carries whispers from the outside world. News of Turan's fall has reached them.
King Jivanta (calmly):
"The Wind God sends his heralds to cleanse the earth… But we are no dust to be swept."
Beside him stands his son, Prince Sarvata, a prodigy of Spirit-Earth Dual Magic, cloaked in sapphire and gold.
Prince Sarvata:
"We cannot remain idle. If we do, he will force our hand."
Scene 2: Arslan's Orders
Back in Everwhirl, Arslan stands atop the Sky Citadel, wind flowing through his cloak. His five generals return, victorious from Turan, their faces lit with pride.
Arslan:
"Sindhura is not wicked… but it is complicit. Their neutrality is cowardice in the face of suffering."
He turns to Orihime, Lucy, and Kagura.
"I entrust this mission to you three. But listen carefully—this is not a war of conquest. This is a war of awakening. If they will not listen to wind, make them listen to truth."
Scene 3: Enter Sindhura
The women approach Sindhura's southern gate, where cliffs kiss the clouds and marble statues of spirit guardians watch all who enter. The monks halt them peacefully—but firmly.
Monk Guard:
"Turn back. You carry violence where none is welcomed."
Kagura (coldly):
"And you carry silence where screams echo."
The wind grows tense.
Lucy (softly):
"We request audience with King Jivanta. Refuse us, and the world's pain will flood even your sacred peaks."
The monks relent.
Scene 4: The Mountain Council
In a serene chamber of flowing water and lotus-shaped lanterns, King Jivanta receives the women. Prince Sarvata watches from a golden throne to his father's right.
Lucy:
"The world burns. The poor suffer. And you hide behind balance? When evil triumphs, neutrality becomes betrayal."
Jivanta:
"You presume much for a child."
Orihime:
"Children feel pain, too. The world you wish to preserve was built on the backs of the voiceless."
Prince Sarvata:
"Enough."
He steps forward, hand raised. The chamber trembles.
He casts Terra Sanctum—a dome of petrified light and wind-pressure that traps the women inside.
"You came for diplomacy, but you brought blades. Sindhura shall no longer remain still. You will be our first lesson to the world."
Scene 5: Battle at the Plateau of Echoes
As the dome shatters, the battle begins.
⚔️ Combat Highlights:
Kagura activates Zero Point Blade, increasing her gravity field to the point her slashes shatter solid rock.
Prince Sarvata summons the Guardian Elephant, a mountain-sized earth spirit that fights with seismic shockwaves.
Lucy fuses Gemini and Sagittarius, creating an illusion-arrow barrage that disorients even monks with iron minds.
Orihime raises a Wind Dome that deflects Sarvata's Meteor Stones while healing wounded monks struck in the crossfire.
It's not a slaughter. It's a dance of restraint—until Prince Sarvata goes too far.
Scene 6: The King's Decision
As Sarvata prepares his final move, Avalanche Heart, Arslan himself appears.
The wind parts.
Arslan:
"Your heart is strong, Prince. But it is chained to tradition."
Sarvata lunges—but Arslan doesn't move. The wind stops his blade midair.
Arslan:
"If you had struck, your kingdom would've fallen before the sun set."
He kneels before King Jivanta.
"I don't want Sindhura to kneel. I want Sindhura to stand with us."
The king closes his eyes.
After a long silence…
Jivanta:
"Then show us. Help us see what the world has become… And if your truth endures a year's worth of watching, Sindhura will fight beside the wind."
Final Scene: The Pact of Patience
As a token of tentative trust, Prince Sarvata joins Arslan's court as an observer—an ambassador and potential ally.
Arslan accepts, smiling faintly.
"One day, you'll wield that blade not for preservation… but for justice."
Post-Credit Prophecy Fragment (scroll found in the monastery):
"The boy who commands the wind shall face the one who commands silence.
Only one shall remain, for even stillness must bow to the coming storm."
🔥 Sindhura's Elite Rebel Order: The Crimson Dharma
"We are the wrath beneath the silence. Let the gods sort what is broken."
⚔️ Overview:
Name: The Crimson Dharma
Symbol: A cracked lotus blooming over a pool of blood.
Philosophy: True peace comes not from kings or wind gods—but through cleansing destruction. Corrupt monarchies, slave revolts, even liberators like Arslan—all are seen as symptoms of decay.
Headquarters: The Sunless Shrine, deep within the Ashen Caverns—a forbidden zone where ancient death magic and fallen spirit-beasts are sealed.
Belief: The world has failed its karma. The Crimson Dharma's mission is to trigger the Dharma Collapse, a cataclysmic rebirth that will force the heavens to intervene.

3. Toran the Flame-Eater – Fire-Blood Berserker

🎯 Their Objective:
Eliminate Prince Sarvata – for siding with Arslan.
Kill King Jivanta – for betraying ancient balance.
Assassinate Orihime, Lucy, and Kagura – viewed as Wind Cult Enforcers.
Unleash the Dharma Collapse – by opening the Sixth Forbidden Gate beneath Sindhura's mountain, which will release a slumbering Spirit Titan from the age of myth.
🕊️ Hidden Conflict:
Some citizens of Sindhura sympathize with the Crimson Dharma due to centuries of caste oppression and ignored suffering.
This complicates Orihime's diplomacy, as even "liberated" citizens may turn fanatical when exposed to the Crimson Dharma's teachings.
