12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSvq5g1CIW
Paul sits near the center, shirt off, shoulders heaving with slow, rigid breaths. His skin glistens faintly from the heat of the fire. Lilly kneels behind him, palms pressed gently against his back, her touch glowing with soft healing warmth. Paul grunts at the pressure, but doesn't pull away.

Moments later, Metro enters — hood low, boots heavy with snow — and the rest of the group follows him. The maidens enter next. slipping through the of the main hall tent with their cloaks dusted in snow. The warmth inside hit them like a wave — firelight flickering across woven carpets, the smell of herbs and stew lingering in the air.

Cornelius straightens his cloak immediately, trying to look composed despite the exhaustion in his eyes. Archeus steps forward, scroll tucked under one arm, his posture tall and ceremonial.

ARCHEUS:
“Thank you all for joining our cause.
We have a brilliant team — one I believe draws inspiration from something beyond the veil.
Let us trust the lot set before us. Ah…
My name is Archeus, for those who do not know me. And of course… you know Metro.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyl3oixIbH
Archeus gestures towards Pauls blushed face.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyXD5b7WrJ
ARCHEUS:
“Paul will be guiding the men to build your homes soon.”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUI6l4UCqjT
Paul lets out a long, suffering sigh.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6WfQR5G7N
Lilly rubs his back in slow circles, trying not to smile.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnZot6eFrc
Archeus nods toward Metro.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZJgAolqL5
ARCHEUS:
“Metro… take the reins.”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWtAjDwHCm
Metro steps forward, lowering his hood. His hair falls loose around his face, still damp from the snow. He scans the room with gentle calculation — the villagers, the maidens, the families — all waiting.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHRdcaBCNH
METRO:
“Blake… could you say some words?”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKMn3OBils
Blake blinks, startled.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYWsmKWSjO
His mouth opens, closes, then he nods affirming. He lowers his head then lifts it in confidence.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhdGReu6XB
A long, sacred beat.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78mVXlvU3F
BLAKE:
“We are grateful for the blessings we have this day, and for the company that has arrived. May Your hearts be blessed as ours—that our talents and strengths may be utilized, that we come together as a family.”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4csMZ648P
Metro lifts his head slowly.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozmpchEkBK
METRO:
“Thank you…He reaches for his scroll, brows tightening with focus. The parchment unfurled with a soft crackle, catching the firelight.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2IeTrvGEU
He reads— voice steadies, carrying the weight of prophecy:
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsNMgg6b0d
“Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble and gather yourselves to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even the great sacrifice upon the mountain.
That ye may eat flesh and drink blood. Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, and all of the fatlings. And ye shall eat fat until ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken,
of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFM4nujnBCM
A heavy beat.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW128WLqY3P
The fire pops.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzT6oxwWny
Someone exhales.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpbBX259zJ
Metro continues:
“Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war. And I will set my glory among the heathen,
and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them. So the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God from that day forward.’
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV0efZTb6O
‘And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them. Therefore, now I will bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name… When I have brought them again from the people and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations; then shall they know that I am the Lord their God… Neither will I hide my face anymore from them, for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord God.”

When Metro finishes the tent is utterly still.The villagers stare — some in awe, some in fear, some in trembling hope. The fire bellows in its glass frame.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITRCKslBl0
And something unseen shifts in the air —Snow whisperes against the canvas walls.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMtmWnmxdT
The word, a warning, a beginning.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrXm1PUWUW
A hush settles — deep, thoughtful, uneven. Some villagers stared wide‑eyed, disturbed by the rawness of the prophecy. Others looked almost relieved, as if this was the very message they’d been waiting for their entire lives. A few simply breathe slower, letting the weight of it sink into their bones. Then Kathryn raises her hand. Her voice is steady, but her eyes hold a searching softness.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq37wfk3dEC
KATHRYN:
“Do you understand everything you read?”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QVoVdEKrS
Metro rolls the scroll carefully, smoothing the parchment with reverence.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5oNW8YyTf
METRO
I feel the Spirit when I read it.
So most all of it.
It strengthens my testimony.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRfAnKK1V5
He closes the scroll with a quiet snap.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcyip2zOzI
METRO
Thank you all for coming. I hope everyone finds their way here well… and I look forward to speaking with each of you. Meeting adjourned.

CORNELIUS:
Meeting adjourned!
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEdFTZPiXx
Paul groans as he stands, stretching his arms overhead until his joints crack.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWdKZmezV7
PAUL
I think I got just enough juice left in the tank.
I’ll get you a cabin — big enough for everyone.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddJ7pPIa1G
Cornelius steps forward.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2WvXMIosY
CORNELIUS
I’ll help.

Blake raises a hand.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7pSTBIT6I
BLAKE
Me too.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYXdOL0WdW
PAUL:(snorts, nods)
“Then we’ll build two cabins. It's probably best for everyone. Let’s get to it.”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCatLQ3Pmyj
He grabs his flannel, shrugging it over his shoulders, then pulls on his heavy cloak.
Lilly hurries over, placing a black beanie on his head and wrapping a yellow scarf snugly around his neck.
Paul adjusts his tool belt — the small axe hanging at his side gleamed in the firelight.
Without another word, he strides out into the cold.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf51d8WSFFZ
Archeus clasps his hands together, shaking them delighted.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PUEVZq5Co
ARCHEUS:
“Splendid.”
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9drD0suQlJ
The fire crackles.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLeaMEgRFs
The villagers murmur among themselves. And the living quaters outside waits— full of work, hope, and the quiet beginning of a new life.
