Act 2 - Scene 7: A Moment of Doubt
Setting: After discovering Lira’s betrayal, Sheera retreats to an ancient shrine within Sanctum Obsidian. He sits alone, watching the shimmering energy of the temple’s relics, lost in thought.
As he stares into the relic, an image of his parents appears in the energy—a memory he had long forgotten.

“You’re destined for great things, my son. But greatness comes at a cost.”
The memory fades, and Sheera is left with an overwhelming sense of pressure and doubt.

(whispers to himself)
"How am I supposed to be a leader when I can’t even trust the people around me?"
Kael enters, noticing Sheera’s somber mood.
Kael
"Second-guessing yourself, huh?"
Sheera gives a small nod, his guard down for once.

"Everyone keeps calling me ‘the lost prince.’ But what if I’m just… lost?"
Kael places a reassuring hand on his shoulder.
Kael
"Maybe being ‘lost’ is part of the journey. Leaders don’t have all the answers. They just keep moving forward."
Sheera’s confidence isn’t fully restored, but a flicker of determination returns as he realizes that leadership is about resilience, not perfection.
