The morning air in the Amazon was heavy with the scent of charred wood and rain. Inside the small bamboo hut, the sunlight felt too bright for the secrets of the night before.

## **SCENE START**

**INT. RUSTIC BAMBOO HUT - DAY**

**VAN** sits on the edge of his cot, staring at his hands. The golden glow in his eyes has faded back to a dull ember, replaced by a hollow guilt. 

A shadow falls across the doorway. The woman from the Velvet Hall stands there. She is no longer wearing the gold mask or the royal silks; she is dressed as a common **HOOKER**, her face partially veiled by a simple wrap.

**VAN**
(Startled, standing up)
You... what are you doing here? I—I should apologize for last night. I lost my mind. The iron... the mark...

The woman steps into the room, her movements slow and deliberate. She doesn't look like a victim; she looks like a hunter who has finally cornered its prey.

**HOOKER**
(Her voice a low, steady hum)
Apologize? Why? Your anger was a gift, Van. Is it calm now? Is the storm in your blood quiet?

**VAN**
(Nodding slowly)
Yes. It’s quiet.

**HOOKER**
Good. But anger like that leaves a man empty. You spent all your fire on me, and now you have no energy left for the day. You are weak.

She steps closer, reaching for the ties of her bodice. 

**HOOKER** (CONT'D)
Your sister feeds you to keep you a boy. I will feed you to keep you a warrior. Drink my milk, Van. It has the energy you actually need to survive a Queen like Meera.

Before Van can protest, the "Ancient Warrior" hunger returns, sharper than before. He reaches out, pulling her close, his focus narrowing entirely on her. 

**EXT. HUT ENTRANCE - CONTINUOUS**

**JIYA** walks up the path, carrying a heavy basket of roots from the field. She stops at the threshold, the basket slipping from her hands and spilling across the dirt. 

**INT. HUT - CONTINUOUS**

Jiya stares in horror. She sees her brother—the one she has nurtured and protected—entwined with a stranger, a woman of the streets.

**JIYA**
(Screaming)
Van! What are you doing? Who is this woman? 

Van pulls back, his lips wet, his eyes glazed with a strange, dark vitality.

**VAN**
(Voice deep)
I like her, Jiya. She understands the fire. 

**JIYA**
(Pointing a trembling finger)
She is a stranger! She is older than you! I am your sister—I am the one who provides for you! How could you take from her?

**VAN**
You are elder, yes. You feed me. But I am an adult now, Jiya. An adult has needs that go beyond a sister’s care. I need strength that doesn't come from the soil.

The **HOOKER** turns her head slightly, her eyes flashing with a familiar, regal coldness that Jiya almost recognizes. She looks at Jiya’s exhausted, pale face and thin arms.

**HOOKER**
(Interrupting)
Look at yourself, Jiya. You are weak. You give everything to him and leave nothing for yourself. You are crumbling under Meera’s taxes. 

She reaches out a hand toward Jiya, an invitation that feels like a command.

**HOOKER** (CONT'D)
Don't be jealous. Be wise. You are as empty as he was. Drink from my other breast. Let this energy sustain you both, so you have the strength to play the next round of the Game.

Jiya looks at Van, then at the woman. The sheer power radiating from the "Hooker" is undeniable—it feels like life itself. Slowly, driven by a hunger she didn't know she had, Jiya steps forward. 

Side by side, the brother and sister drink from the woman who, beneath her common clothes, carries the brand of the warrior and the soul of the Queen.

**SCENE END**

**Now that Jiya and Van have both tasted Meera's power, does the "Ancient Memory" begin to return to both of them, or does Meera use this new bond to lead them straight into a trap at the palace?**
