18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x8HwHK7yhLilly turns gripping the reins. Both horses break into a faster gallop, leaving the dirt road behind, diving into the grassy plains. Tall grass bends and bursts under their hooves, scattering in waves as they race across the open field.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNPj4g2A0E
The sun glints off their white horses, the wind roaring past them as they push harder, chasing the wall past the chariots towards the side entrance.

THERON’S LODGE -
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVypMa5I4Q
Metro, Rose, and Blake exit the carriage together.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr6XMRlkzv
Curtis and Sally snort, shaking dust from their manes as Metro and Rose tie their horses to the post.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7pOWd3Nsk
The convoy behind them clatters to a stop, soldiers marching, armor shifting, glowing crates creaking in the wagons.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQPS0fS6zA
The captain shouts,
“We’ll continue forward to the shipping docks, hurry and load up so we can be at sea before nightfall.”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROBIQyKaKQ
Rose’s instincts flicker — a faint tremor in her bones.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJm5ktm9HV
The Kings guard stomps past, leading the group up the steps.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0u4pWzWnt
His presence is heavy — too heavy — like the air bends around him.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvI9qPJjfzy
Rose breath kicks in (activating instincts)
she grips to Metro shirt, fusing her energy into him making his glow more condensed.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnECjwv0Wwy
As the guard passes, she sees it.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmGIPSlsK0
A black void around the guard.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAzgSy8YDD
A hollow aura.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpGlUcMxy1
A warning.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhObGcy3MhD
Sally sees it too — ears pinned back, muscles tight.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAexvKeFnu
Blake squirms, shrinking into himself.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PSqKSx013
He hates confrontation. He hates tension.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEEFqLGTWC
Metro walks forward but he’s somewhere else entirely.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQY9KTJt6N
After reading the scroll, his mind is still turning.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOLt6CIhQz
(Thinking) “What must I must I do to prosper...”
They pass the beams holding the front deck and step inside.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmAxKQA6Tf
The Kings Guard stops at the entrance.
Standing like a statue - unmoving -unreadable, bidding them to enter with nothing but his presence.
They pass the beams holding the front deck stepping inside.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFUYQLqnkL
Rose slips past him - her instincts still active, her eyes wide with terror as she tries to hide. Blake hurries through avoiding eye contact, lost in his aura glowing louder. Metro steps in last, his aura glowing louder now.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnSeoIEufK
Inside the hallway -
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1bbxzbzyk
Traeven:
‘Welcome.’
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulgQf8ux4V
Metro looks at Traeven expressionless eyes flickering blue.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPO3k8XgmmF
Traeven’s expression shifts obviously hurt but still focused
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOsdS2d2UR
‘Traeven:
" I see you have the scroll with you. Tell me, did you read enough to prophecy what’s coming next?’
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kYVsIsq09
Rose and Blake stand back, frozen like they’re witnessing an unexpected fight.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4AI7TqcWM
Metro stares - unmoved.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuji3Ad4D0
Traeven smiles even harder.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSvhR2C0c8
He turns and signals for them to follow him.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXswjwjaLz
“I like you Metro. You actually interesting, and you understand me”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXE9hobcGnI
(Beat)
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAwMOlLTEt
‘ I'd like to speak with you after your meeting with Theron, if you have time of course.”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cVEmp22xa
Traeven opens the Theron's office chamber door. Walking in first past the masked servant.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpaf8hM2Y8
Rose walks in. Blake goes in next , his gaze turns, fixated on his best friend.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdpJjyZgCJ
(thinking to himself)
(What’s Metro doing....meditating?)
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIBmpeM8mI
Blake steps into the office with Rose .
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9U0ml4E9DU
Metro lifts his eyes slowly .
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux7k3LQQ0g
He puts the scroll into his backpack, holding it in his right hand, letting it almost scrape the floor when he walks in.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmC0Uc0Efp
His eyes glows bright blue
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0ucyIT4Bu
His white aura is extremely sharp around his crown.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQhIqz2CvK
THERON’S OFFICE —
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSE5Trmut3
Inside the dim red lit chamber the soft carpet
and padded walls grip sound. Gold and black walls designs shimmer faintly — Theron sits in his office chair, behind him, Susan stands to the right, clearly watching.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyHuaz9ebP
The straw hat fella and his wife stand to the left wall. The servants and archers line up on the right.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGi62nxq9DM
Veronica stands next to her mother, moving towards Metro’s line of sight. She stares at Metro’s glow… then sharply at Rose.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6N6zLAwVh
Rose is already staring back.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVpFXDQMeS
Traeven hawks Metro.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EMHaVJApd
The king and queen look exhausted, longing for answers.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKQsMEpopS
The door closes behind Blake, Metro, and Rose.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSgNwjqyC1
A noble servant stands guard at the doorway.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzBY6OHp9k
Metro adjust his bacpack, tightening the straps. The scroll handle sticks out, glowing brighter than ever.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf3AzJ5eid
Then the flame ignites.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNaWMSxClk
Not visible.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHkqXZCNMr
Not heard.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkELJsnP4Hw
But present.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMZNVcGEmK
A soft sacred pressure in the air – like the room is holding itself still...
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwd0M5Bruo
...at peace.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxZZ1aLdnQ
The lantern flames bow toward Metro then away.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pYcnnR1WX
A steady white shimmer outlines his crown, like a gentle spirit brushing against the physical world.
Rose feels it first.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNiNObz0yV
Her instincts spike — A peaceful warmth growing inside her chest slowly.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcu4T9klvd
Veronica feels it too, but she doesn’t understand it. She just stares harder.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6rEvW5jDQ
Traeven feels it — noticing an uncontrollable spark, acknowledging it's power.
The King waits.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPz8RZdZqmF
A full minute.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6vDAHi8B4
Only the sound of candles whisking across the rooms radius. Shadows tremble on the walls, the air thick with anticipated answers , longing questions.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrYVIaG4Me
Everyone feels it now, waiting, watching.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dn41NqYpp
Something sacred has entered the chamber with Metro.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI50DBp3Xit
Metro stares at Traeven — eyes lower, patient, unblinking.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnKt6otKt4
He notices it immediately.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05HCuz3t0x
Theron's countenance has changed.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbrImUBOSJ
Something hollow, something drained.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzrj3pFUcm
Metro waits a little longer.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTFVwpAWoo
Several moments pass.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM797Ctbe4S
He turns his back and begins walking toward the door as if he’s going to leave.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZlCzTEH4Q
A masked servant with a black wig and teal coat——steps in front of him.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17fykG7j6h
Servant (soft, urgent)
“Sir… the king wishes to speak with you… please… stay…”

Metro stops.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5R7Q9MhY0J
Stands still.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXTAHmbS5X
Then slowly turns around.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyOt2dDJw0
Blake hasn't budged.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAiV0N4HWI
Everyone watches with intensity—the arches, the servants, the Farmhand couple, Veronica, Traeven.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQw50WscLZ
Everyone except Theron.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEa2X4wJV0I
He looks pathetic.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkUsMXVWAP
Drained.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXE610xGVMF
Barely hopeful.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTb846abM8
Metro walks back to his original spot in the middle of the room. He takes his backpack off and slowly drops it on the floor. The white flame increases upwards.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfp0JeRWrYg
The bright shine surrounds his whole body now. A lantern flame bends towards him.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmazHCIlQpl
Metro:
“What would you have me do, my King.”
Theron stays silent studying him for several long minutes.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0jRU2Xt93
Everyone feels stretched thin – Everyone except Metro.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOOnSYxfDd
He stares on.
Theron stares, refusing to break connection.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3ltZLoD4i
Metro:
“Is it because you heard I defended your honor – slaying bandits with blades taking off arms and feet of others… in order to defend your crop…”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4K4NHgwV4N
Metro:
“Is this why you sit here… astonished?”
Metro stands in the center of the chamber eyes held upright. The white flame warms the air around them. He stares at Theron patiently.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLcuRoRR5C
Unmoving.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTE2lqjgdD
Theron’s expression has changed.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTOjEQV2JC

smaller.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkWoByW30j
almost humbled.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNpQkiOjEI
Metro’s voice is steady.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI0iKagjlP
Metro:
“... Why do you marvel so greatly... I am a man and your servant. Therefore whatever you ask me to do which is right, I will do for you.”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSNSqobnge
When Theron hears Metro’s words he marvels even more.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmvpjiiDvu
A tremor of fear.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXoUljCRrE
A tremor of reverence.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaEiGraG4M
Theron thinks
(“How can he discern my thoughts?”)
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsYfXnBZh2
Theron speaks up one hand on his desk.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjIm7pmiY3
Theron:
“Who are you? Are you that Great Flame who knows all things?”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfVViTQhnH
Metro looks sternly forward.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZzC4YjMOl
Metro: “I am not.”
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRASGLdlTKh

"How can you discern the thoughts of my heart? Explain yourself boldly. Tell me these things, and tell me but what power you slayed those bandits."
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLBHnfyv1G
(A beat)
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7tVpCjfKh
The room holds it's breath
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6ZSQb9Et9

"Will you listen to me if I tell you by what power and authority I do these things?"
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngsK3iWQ2s

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mB6nfKuAy

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgV7Rp32uY

Theron blinks confused.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOG2NIDZcZU
Theron:
"I don't know what you mean."
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikWYaMYOMu
Metros voice hardens, more direct, but still calm and sure.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoPzB0yYFN
Metro:
"Do you believe that there is a Great Flame?"
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrioQsLvcE

18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTBuAESWEm
Theron:
" Yea."
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdH0RZ5n9K
Metro doesn't look away
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ090sztFFOd
Metro:
" This is God."
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoNpgOk6Y5
The room shifts- a collective inhale. Some absorb Metro's words easily, others struggle. But everyone feels the weight as he continues.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fmkuTlckt
Metro:(voice steady)
" Do you believe that this Great Flame Spirit, who is God, created all things in heaven and in earth?"
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNqhkB8wjb
Theron pauses.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgJWbfYmzM
Theron:
" I believe that he created the earth...

I am a man, and man was created after the image of God. I am called by The Holy Spirit to teach these things wherever it commands me. To whomever it directs me towards. That they may be brought to a knowledge of righteousness and truth. And a portion of that Great Spirit is inside of me ... Which gives me knowledge and power, according to my faith and belief and desires that are in God."
