62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡof4ikvxqNrLilly 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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEebcRvmrtP
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 -
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGBH9S1CSF
Metro, Rose, and Blake exit the carriage together.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6oJ4wZNw0
Curtis and Sally snort, shaking dust from their manes as Metro and Rose tie their horses to the post.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwC0Q4Tfog
The convoy behind them clatters to a stop, soldiers marching, armor shifting, glowing crates creaking in the wagons.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMBOYxw4I3
The captain shouts,
“We’ll continue forward to the shipping docks, hurry and load up so we can be at sea before nightfall.”
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeQzzTVg8k
Rose’s instincts flicker — a faint tremor in her bones.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eaN1ja8NM
The Kings guard stomps past, leading the group up the steps.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXE849ilI7r
His presence is heavy — too heavy — like the air bends around him.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNJ23j7p1F
Rose breath kicks in (activating instincts)
she grips to Metro shirt, fusing her energy into him making his glow more condensed.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfbv37xvjf
As the guard passes, she sees it.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWQZAOPn3M
A black void around the guard.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFYPiyhnLv
A hollow aura.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMchy2c5AYu
A warning.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY71b1VZkgH
Sally sees it too — ears pinned back, muscles tight.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSnSXBWvA6
Blake squirms, shrinking into himself.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUNurtf0xY
He hates confrontation. He hates tension.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8WIbQqabf
Metro walks forward but he’s somewhere else entirely.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gDdxEsZ7p
After reading the scroll, his mind is still turning.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCG4AcF9bk
(Thinking) “What must I must I do to prosper...”
They pass the beams holding the front deck and step inside.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJG7DVnBR2
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1izG3hX3W
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtBZejyXyI
Inside the hallway -
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykXQ3vMhTj
Traeven:
‘Welcome.’
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6xGC5mVfi
Metro looks at Traeven expressionless eyes flickering blue.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTV8dazZ7oL
Traeven’s expression shifts obviously hurt but still focused
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCQoFuux27
‘Traeven:
" I see you have the scroll with you. Tell me, did you read enough to prophecy what’s coming next?’
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkM3tEpgMe
Rose and Blake stand back, frozen like they’re witnessing an unexpected fight.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3z99g6hzS
Metro stares - unmoved.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0eXwG317t
Traeven smiles even harder.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkr7cJqeCfg
He turns and signals for them to follow him.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BVwpFzPUF
“I like you Metro. You actually interesting, and you understand me”
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLRVU7ZvmM

62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSPEHxec2e
‘ I'd like to speak with you after your meeting with Theron, if you have time of course.”
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPuSxu0Z9O
Traeven opens the Theron's office chamber door. Walking in first past the masked servant.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMuc5MqCuN
Rose walks in. Blake goes in next , his gaze turns, fixated on his best friend.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2YCjW2XMl

62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5n6NX0384K
Blake steps into the office with Rose .
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxPQtjFhig

62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyyddiHRc9
His eyes glows bright blue
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3N6mNWnyy
His white aura is extremely sharp around his crown.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryUwRKCLbY
THERON’S OFFICE —
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwVJa9IH2P
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXxrBCncJ6
The straw hat fella and his wife stand to the left wall. The servants and archers line up on the right.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qhHzX8L6f
Veronica stands next to her mother, moving towards Metro’s line of sight. She stares at Metro’s glow… then sharply at Rose.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZc2eFOcq2
Rose is already staring back.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFakUCOhz5
Traeven hawks Metro.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pCHwFhiLI
The king and queen look exhausted, longing for answers.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5A6SyEr8p
The door closes behind Blake, Metro, and Rose.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtXvhhKeMt
A noble servant stands guard at the doorway.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0ezoqlE8p

Not visible.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3HQ1Hw0oP
Not heard.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxqy5ZI5sC
But present.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKRlTiX7ph
A soft sacred pressure in the air – like the room is holding itself still...
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ748DQthggp
...at peace.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhWg9GECtP
The lantern flames bow toward Metro then away.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9DupiFQck
A steady white shimmer outlines his crown, like a gentle spirit brushing against the physical world.
Rose feels it first.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXxPLqENYi
Her instincts spike — A peaceful warmth growing inside her chest slowly.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvvWpba0NW
Veronica feels it too, but she doesn’t understand it. She just stares harder.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bC1v39qh0
Traeven feels it — noticing an uncontrollable spark, acknowledging it's power.
The King waits.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiGR2mJfoz
A full minute.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9Qp4CPdJ4
Only the sound of candles whisking across the rooms radius. Shadows tremble on the walls, the air thick with anticipated answers , longing questions.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CoZ76pVHR
Everyone feels it now, waiting, watching.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oRlkb6JFX
Something sacred has entered the chamber with Metro.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiBqercLX1
Metro stares at Traeven — eyes lower, patient, unblinking.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMOUZOnw99
He notices it immediately.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqubcxzG1Qy
Theron's countenance has changed.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1y4ZOg6Vg
Something hollow, something drained.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeHfachzu5
Metro waits a little longer.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxMmqUSnKi
Several moments pass.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUP23J9hIn6
He turns his back and begins walking toward the door as if he’s going to leave.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWG5lan0aTY
A masked servant with a black wig and teal coat——steps in front of him.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4Xf2WyHJx
Servant (soft, urgent)
“Sir… the king wishes to speak with you… please… stay…”

Then slowly turns around.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd5TPTWHMt
Blake hasn't budged.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvVZmXvG72
Everyone watches with intensity—the arches, the servants, the Farmhand couple, Veronica, Traeven.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyo38cDk9R5
Everyone except Theron.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S6f4mZuZb

62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6RY7frcBk
Drained.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4ZgakFZYX
Barely hopeful.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxYkyY2sYF
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rKsIIzHWF
The bright shine surrounds his whole body now. A lantern flame bends towards him.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUWeB8FI8k
Metro:
“What would you have me do, my King.”
Theron stays silent studying him for several long minutes.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQpZIw1HJO
Everyone feels stretched thin – Everyone except Metro.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKGn3n0nV9
He stares on.
Theron stares, refusing to break connection.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiNwlx4xbN
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…”
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdLrQ5M8kF
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYUYUEUgmC
Unmoving.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5XbDRF64U
Theron’s expression has changed.

smaller.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOynNpJf40h
almost humbled.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJx2oxJqJS

62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJumAsoTWCM
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.”
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZkchT5OYI
When Theron hears Metro’s words he marvels even more.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKrPov4m63
A tremor of fear.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBu0yEJcgR
A tremor of reverence.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQu0sIOxKD
Theron thinks
(“How can he discern my thoughts?”)
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytLNTqqIoE

62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzzT3k8yU4

62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsw40Gq3WdW
Metro:
" This is God."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WlfRBEU6L
The room shifts- a collective inhale. Some absorb Metro's words easily, others struggle. But everyone feels the weight as he continues.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvvxGJU6OF
Metro:(voice steady)
" Do you believe that this Great Flame Spirit, who is God, created all things in heaven and in earth?"
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aZN5OmwOu
Theron pauses.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7SMCF2FWl

" I believe that he created the earth...
