'THE MONSTER BURIED WITHIN'
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtaLROwX8L
— PAUL'S SHACK —
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRyJMWLyhg
A faint gray light leaks through the shutters. Paul wakes slowly, sitting up on the edge of his bed. He rubs his face with both hands. A roughly fixed routine.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX7ADzDTRE
He kneels beside his bed. No words, just a tired, silent prayer.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERti4kcCVf
— PAUL'S YARD — MORNING —
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFunkc8Qd5h
Paul sits at a small wooden table outside eating a simple breakfast, with a cup of something strong.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUFZY25aLf
Chickens wander around his boots. He gestures at them with his fork. A chicken hops on the table. Paul shoo's it away.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCPnDyffDD
— NOON — VILLAGE MARKET SQUARE —
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0xskYTfmi
Paul walks through the bustling square for someone's stall, but there's an empty space where the carts usually set up.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBfncP1X9H
He stops.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkyJ8kNuBv
Stares into the market's distance, the crowd overlapping the streets. He rubs his hand through his hair. A mix of worry and annoyance.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDIvqv7ilg
— PAUL'S WORKSTATION —
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueLZXtBEHa
Paul sits at his bench trying to fix a tool— a cracked handle, a bent hinge.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtIdQScUTs
It slips.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyUl1FbOzG
He curses to himself. Trying again.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrIQ8Hofrf
It slips again.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mOY4Cb1fV
He tosses it in frustration.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bTaqMYpnJ
Then picks it up gently, trying to manage his temper.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTE2YHI1Y3
He keeps working.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAghSeJnvGX
— PAUL'S YARD — AFTERNOON —
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡab5A9Xmur1
Paul stands alone beside the chopping block. The forest is still behind him. A single log sits upright. He raises the axe and brings it down in a hard, rhythmic knock.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvN0UaEc9Y
Each swing is heavier than the last. He breathes, sweating in frustration.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBOVMD7bBL
Paul raises his axe again, then brings it down in a clean, practiced strike.
As the wood splits, a memory flickers.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvw1OcF2ZY
(FLASHBACKS) HIS DAUGHTER —
(LAUGHING IN THE MARKET)
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpHPaD6n1z
She's younger, bright-eyed, tugging on his sleeve as he trades tools and lumber. She teases him for being too serious.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX2EQIzYCo
He pretends not to smile— (back to the present)
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxZtjW7fVA
Paul sets another log.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLubrqxUtQC
Another swing.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoz1qcDb0z5
(FLASH:) HIS DAUGHTER — TALKING ABOUT A SOLDIER —
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XTr6SWlmo
She's older now.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRfRpPDzhX
Nervous.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Gbb4LVyr1
Excited.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVw5CHbKAs
Telling him about the boy from Theron's army.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAkcwV41aw
Paul's jaw tightens in the memory.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMI1ltx45Wy
(flashback paul): "they're dangerous men. You stay away from them."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg2pUrxrXu
She rolls her eyes, frustrated. He feels her slipping away.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfW42NJAs5
Another log.
Another swing.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UNfLndQ64
Harder this time.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFw5aHPh5C
(FLASH:) THE LAST ARGUMENT
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡes1iD2myRc
She stands in the doorway of their home. He's tired from the market. She's angry, defiant.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ipzsPbwRt
(flashback paul): "I'm trying to protect you."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBx4yCneKEi
daughter (flashback): "You're trying to control me!"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQykY7SFjQ
The memory ends before the door slams.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOBN4YUjvo
— INSIDE PAUL'S HOME — DUSK —
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbgxfSFn1I
Paul sits at a small table inside his shack. A simple meal in front of him.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBgv4Tjf8V
He eats slowly, staring at nothing.
The house feels hollow. Like it's waiting for someone who isn't coming back.
He thinks of the last words they exchanged.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZLANgmeSN
The sharpness.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMXyOkmNXU
The distance.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqZubqJqD5
The regret.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwMvQVWIpZ
His hand tightens around his mug. A breath, watered eyes. Then he grunts, throwing it against the wall.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfXM1NqF2Z
It shatters.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQztRSlqwR
The sound echoes through the empty room.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUCHNdRhmz
Paul closes his eyes, steadying himself, but the silence afterwards feels heavier.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pewsLSOc9
— OUTSIDE PAUL'S SHACK — SUN DOWN —
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGgkfxIVCR
Paul decides to get some fresh air outside before bed.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgV6XCLfXi
Alone.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDOyEtf6gO
A small plate in front of him and a small fire burns near him, but a big silence remains. He looks down at the long road ahead, at the sun finally disappearing.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOoZtIVDbg
He continues to eat.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl993A2OwrZ
Then stares at the road again.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZ6XaDnScI
Longing for something.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXowevioKCZ
Empty.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCapyUxw43G
Slowly fading.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KX6RQ1Y3H
His face softens— worry, longing, stubborn hope.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvONnZSXLCB
He takes a deep breath, the wind moves through the trees.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTTFIlE2uj
Paul doesn't move.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6WMcsm4IJ
He simply watches.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFvdUz7kXa
— METRO'S CHAMBER BEDROOM —
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEFT9j2Mdy
Soft light leaks through the shutters.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisqJb4n95c
Metro wakes slowly. Breath steady, the room still half dark. He sits up, rubs his eyes, and listens— the distant thump of tools, voices, and movements are heard outside.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXcJ8VVLRR
He dresses simply.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllL6z1llyx
No rush.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO3Ne6OEys
No dialogue.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrmaxg3tlY
He steps outside.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ961LuVDluZ
— COURTYARD —
CONTINUOUS —
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnyxm0uoD2
The morning is alive.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHkg3sYzvO
Mathias, Ana, Blake and twenty farmhands are already out in the fields, knee deep in soil, planting magical seeds.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSzokuIhXt
The air is cool. Dust rises with every shovel strike.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLIaCDKTaQ
Mathias barks orders in different directions.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJMyhZZLvP
Ana stays coordinated while Blake hauls sacs of premade super soil.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6ELT9vSzS
Metro walks towards them, observant, silent.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnR8Ebj3rAZ
Mathias spots him immediately and grins.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoSQ7jfccL
Mathias:
"So tell me Metro, if things turn for the hills, and we get dozens of Stains through these walls… what are you gonna do?"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2II039G2rT
Metro lifts his staff, the green emerald tied to its end with a thin white cloth.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qJ6evDQo9
Metro:
"I have this… and two daggers."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZWZIhAF3B
Mathias looks at the staff unimpressed.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxxZKnPyvw
Mathias: (reaches in his coat)
"A glowing rock on a stick, well no, that won't work…"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MoEr4b70b
He pulls out a wrapped bundle and shoves it into Metro's hands.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTJkNoAUTU
"Here, these are real weapons." "Similar to daggers, except you throw them like darts."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAX3tLvkM0
Metro:
"This seems better than what I have now. Like i’ve upgraded. Awesome."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtj5zRHMreI
Metro looks at the blackened steel. His breath catches.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPt8q4dsaQ5
Mathias:
"Now you're ready to butcher a man! Ha Ha Ha Ha!"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxC0lNB2Qv
He smacks Metro on the back— hard.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68m5CuKHix
Metro: (wincing, whining) "Ah—!"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY07hARhrnK
His shoulders tighten, nearly dropping his gift.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgGFKwgSqn
Mathias laughs even harder now, for the whole yard to hear.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHKkPOGlds
Metro:
"Easy, Matt, we're not cut from the same cloth... Nevertheless, thanks. I have a holster for 10, so it's perfect."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPsjrWgnwD
Metro nods once.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mSytu0QTw
"I'll take care of them."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvjxWJLrD5
Mathias claps him on the shoulder, lighter this time. He turns back to the workers.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYSy6sXhAm
Metro adjusts the eight new daggers inside his coat. The steel feels heavier than it should— or maybe he feels heavier.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3scWURz9k
Footsteps approach softly through the dirt. Ana comes up behind him, wiping soil from her palms, her expression warm but perceptive.
She studies him, the tension in his shoulders, the way he's holding breath without realizing.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8sgNA468k
Ana:
"Are you ready to work?"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLuqdrjeHV
Metro nods, but his eyes drift towards the horizon— the direction he instinctively feels Rose to be.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MRLVytAjc
Metro:
"Where's Rose?"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3DcP9y16N
Ana's face softens.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQg4OZG9MpU
Ana:
"She left last night. Lilly too."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ6k1bfRHW
Metro's jaw tightens, slightly.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeyG3Apj0P
He lowers his gaze, that quiet controlled way he processes pain.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKM8XnTGFW
Ana continues gently.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqDuEXJEeq
"And Veronica, Jeffrey, Phillip… They were called back to The Village with Theron at The Lodge."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKhsCerfc6
Metro absorbs that.
The courtyard suddenly feels wider.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTw4vsXGy5S
More calm.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGDxUZIBUG
He thinks of Veronica's explosion— the shouting, the desperation, the way she reached for him. The world takes a step back. He thinks of Rose standing there, watching it unravel, silent, hurt, steady. He thinks of the way the night ended—
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4tuS1Ak1A
Fractured.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ7VUr4JU8
Heavy.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEppTZid403
Unresolved.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUgjoF0MGp
Now they're gone.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiKmHAKl0b
Metro stands straighter but something in him sinks.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAR3iE9b2O
Ana:
“People come and go, but the work stays."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDV5Ya3JWB
She turns towards the fields.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwgjgYwCJq
— 40 ACREAGED CASTLE FORTRESS —
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWyfhOAnYd
The field stretches out long, soft rows— forty acres of dark soil waiting for hands. Morning light settles over everything in a warm, healing haze.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6Vbvqksxk
Mathias gives a sharp whistle, checks the perimeter with two scouts, and disappears towards the tree line.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMjs4AyvJg
Ana steps forward.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSGsV0GTge
Twenty Farmhands gather around her— men and women, boots dusty, sleeves rolled, souls ready to work.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkYBBH9HEe
Metro stands by the main hall's entrance, watching from a small distance, content to listen.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3twYsQFC8p
— SEED PERSONALITY —
"A.NATURE."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTyo9LqeO5
Ana reaches into the heavy bag of seeds and lifts one between her fingers— a dark burgundy seed, striped with tiger-like scarlet bands that shimmer in the sun.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp8gmEDBfD
Ana:
"This seed is in the firestarter family.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2wJMscJuI
Fast growers.
Fast reactors."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NitWqpm2A
"They respond to heat, stress, and sudden change more than most."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2ur3U1CfI
The farm hands lean in.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcy6UffYswe
"Genetics give them their instincts, but how you handle them decides their behavior. Gentle hands make balanced plants. Rough hands can make a plant defensive or resilient. It depends on the stress, the genetics, and the plants own willingness to survive and thrive."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDT3Ka8C9z
She selects the fire starter seed, dropping to her knees, with a heavy bag of dark colorful seeds by her side. She presses one into the soil, and covers it lightly.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDesGUtpFkM
Then she opens a small vial filled with a tarnish, sandy-water type liquid.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnySaLLHR2
Ama pours a single drop onto the patch.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1A6YuSAZIj
The seed responds immediately, trembling in the ground, and in seconds, forming a small seedling. Its aura shines faintly red, warm and alive.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tlfGpG7EP
Metro watches, eyes steady.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQq7oJ2LTHW
Ana nods once, satisfied.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4Qbu4a5uU
— ROOTS —
"The Plant Brain."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wUcMxi4Rl
Ana kneels further, drawing a symbol in the soil with her cane. The ground carves dirt in a circular motion.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBp89kWBNSy
The ground responds— a faint shimmer— spreading outward, revealing a web of glowing root-lines beneath the surface.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiib8OBmN1
The farmhands gasp softly.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8l2Dom6rT
"Roots are the plants functioning mind. They sense danger. They share nutrients. Warn each other. They even choose who to help… and who to choke."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZdJFIs7fh
She presses her palm in the soil. A white formation of roots can be seen beneath the ground trickling downward with vibrant sparkles.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOXqlz0weE
The tiny roots pulse gently.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1To2Xv3Pxy
"Everything beneath us is connected in some way.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkPjiLMvu5
Just like us.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LTxLfs4GD
Our thoughts.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJOhBIWFN1
Like outer space, loaded with stars and galaxies. And beneath them, the earth expands and contracts subtly— alive, breathing constantly.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZKPIFNTcI
"They need each other..to heal each other.
Just as we do."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QU9WCokU3
They compete.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7XT6FDwFG
They survive.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfjL3jh0aZ
The roots decide more than the leaves ever will."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtBGRDKJsE
The glowing web fades back into the earth.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaPfxcaaXB
Metro stands in stillness, watching the light disappear beneath the soil.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QoNq3mdeA
— AURA SPACING —
"Give Them Room To Live."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzgb1oQnZ2
Ana stands, brushing soil from her hands on her cottage dress.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcO7nbQtQh
"Plants will compete for sunlight.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStq5yXTeEj
For Air.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rYszQBZEy
For nutrients."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAaoCEY7GD
She waves her hand over a row of sprouts.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzE1MD5mG9
Their auras flare— soft halos of green, yellow, and blue.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGXX9ULESb
"If you plant them too close, their energies clash. They steal each other's light. They grow fighting, twisted."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyNnt9y4He
She continues, calm and clear.
"Some plants need balance. Roots structure, room to breathe."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOEv0GTckA
She spaces the sprout with a gentle sweep of her hand. Their glows widen, bending like water colors.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzReRI6mWUv
"Give them room… to each is their own."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSgJbnoGmV
Personalities will vary. It's all about how you train and nurture your seedlings."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnsN7EjWsZ
Metro watches the colors shift across the row,
smiling faintly, attentively.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLVBkeRrly
— LIGHT MEMORY —
"The First Light Shapes Life."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsWMCRD3aH
Ana lifts a sprout towards the sun. The sprout glows— soft gold, like it's waking up.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNCHc2r25X
"These little guys remember their first light… If it's harsh, they could get scorched. If it's soft, they'll probably become balanced. This is the light you want."
(looks up at the sun)
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHfVk0fmor
Warm.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXgfCju5tV
Kind.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCLntQkeBI
Ever so present.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Fpb46UxYk
She lowers her head slightly, eyes still on the sprout. "Even so, most can be sculpted— to adapt. Each have different attributes and abilities. And sometimes you'll find extremely rare things, troubling things… and amazing things. Discoveries that you'll want to keep in your family's garden for generations."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9P1h2xlCuf
Metro listens quietly, satisfied, absorbing every line.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbC3PrxJIV
Ana lowers the sprout back into a basket, and turns to the twenty farmhands.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7jgbxz2Gv
"Alright! Spread out. Every row, Every mound— plant them exactly how I showed you.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLb0bVnBXI7
Let's move."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqa47cUzPVq
The farmhands break into groups, forming long lines across the fields.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh571gHL9YQ
Hands sink into soil. Rows begin to glow in soft waves as the planting commences.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMQmOi3nv1
Metro grabs a pouch of seeds.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQv0j7dfThl
Dust rises.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfqvwNQbHY
Shovels thud.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEHaRrJfs0
The field becomes a slow coordinated rhythm. Footsteps crunch behind them.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONYSvIOaj9
Mathias returns with four men, brushing leaves off his coat.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaFbXOkQcx
Mathias:
"Perimeters clear, scouts haven't seen anything, only elks and a fox."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGQhhuveqO
Soldier: "Hey Metro, when the trees ripen a bit, you mind if we partake in some magic leaf!?"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADvhGwgw8H
Metro gives a faint nod.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ijTOpKEV6
Metro:
"I don't mind. Let's get the harvest cut down first, perfectly, before we start sampling though."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyCAPT0odU
Before the soldier can grin, Mathias smacks the back of his head.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gaHJIlT9k
WHAP!
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtn2KnA7EI
Mathias:
"You fiend! We don't mooch until the work is done!"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlNL7iBxPc
He turns to twenty infantry behind him.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVkAUgMaJp
"You heard miss Ana! Get to the fields, in the dirt! Help plant every last seed."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQsWsmZ6oh
The soldiers groan, but they move— grabbing tools, kneeling beside the farm hands, joining the rows.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkn3BMlzUxo
Ana walks up to Mathias with a pouch of seeds.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSF5vmmu1c
Ana: (tosses seed pouch into Mathias's hands) "You too."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9LtP6Hepa
She smiles softly, confidently.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqekDv1ZBPw
Mathias freezes.

— KING'S LODGE — THERON'S CHAMBER — MORNING —
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFEhTLKTvC
Veronica stands before her father in that dim, heavy room, the air thick with tension.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KP1SlzCdE
Theron isn't the charismatic lord he pretends to be in public. His eyes are hollowed out now, cold. He's darkened like a man who's burnt through every emotion except control.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFs4pB4QLV
Theron peers through a tall window, the cold wash of the morning light.
He stands with his black cape facing her, hands clasped behind him, staring out over the courtyard like a man carved from stone.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65HV5CFEyo
Theron: (turns head slightly)
"What's wrong?"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMQkRjaZ90
Veronica:
"Nothing. I did what you asked."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTf8UX3lXgJ
Theron:
"And… How is everything? What's he doing?"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmmbmKCVFU
Veronica:
"He brought back rations, medical supplies before your wagons arrived. He's claiming his position as overseer of the cultivation project."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2LsGSiz82
Theron clinches.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscgn2gS7mV
Veronica:
"The soldiers seem to love him…"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTlk5SfxdC
Theron's mouth twitches into a bitter smirk— thin, humorless, the kind a man wears when someone beneath him has out-performed his own supply runs.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpRSdaI9qz
His grin thins, then vanishes, a subtle, calculating wound, then turns.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PdTc4IYBQ
Theron:
"Do you?"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl2VysJ3A5
Veronica pauses.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpuLuExPXA
Her eyes flick away, then back, trying to hold his gaze but can't.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrLa9MAXCC
Theron feels her distance.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5dqpvxxH3
He doesn't speak. He just lets the silence sit—

Heavy, suffocating.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9B4Wg6Xgx
Theron:
"Then he will be useful."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gNMBFHNCz
Veronica:
"I don't want to do this anymore."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oNe3XWpJP
Her voice barely leaves her throat.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvGsTo097I
Theron doesn't move.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmGHwl2CLe
Doesn't soften.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhY8Wy7gxX
His voice stays level, carved from granite.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x7mX5HBSd
"The importance of this project cannot be overstated. Someone I trust must truly oversee it."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dQdFlOdQj
(A beat)
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGY1Xj9sspM
He turns slightly to the window.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvjDmKbBdK
"And you have always served me faithfully."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhQyLXPYHy
(Another long beat)— the kind that presses on the ribs.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPFi1AjRL0
Theron: "I know something happened between you two. I will learn what, in time."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLY87Fml7qz
His vision shifts to the window.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoScdZcQaJ
(Dismissing her.)
"Take some time. Then return to The Whispering Fields with Phillip and Jeffrey."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKsefFiJn6
The room settles into silence again, heavy and unyielding. The door closes behind her with a muted thud— and something inside her chest closes with it.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSMiFzJlAQ
She moves quickly down the corridor, almost too quickly. The air is colder out here, sharper. Her emotions follow her like colors bleeding into one another.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfjL5WAYk3
Suppressed anger, exhaustion, jealousy.
The corridor is still cooling around her when a shadow slips into her path.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6glf0KvcB9
Traeven.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE16XocObnC
He doesn't block her, just angles his body enough that she has to slow. His voice stays low, careful, like he's afraid she'll bolt.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpztcKfegR
Traeven:
"…Hey. You alright?"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQpR8QiscB
She lifts her eyes— not fully, just enough for him to read the strain she tried to leave behind in that room.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BvqDftJRA
He studies her face, the way her breath catches, the way she's masking too quickly.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCqdxDrwh4
"Talk to me."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHTvSFwD7e
(A beat)
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxmU6jWKth
He softens, something protective flickering through.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlyeBsYSz9
"Is this about Metro?"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9esKGUJKow
That lands.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUpD9uDvI2
She doesn't answer, but the silence does for her. Traeven exhales through his nose, a soft, faint, knowing sound.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9OlMYF5QP
"He's different now. I see it too. But, you don't have to carry whatever it is that stirred up— alone."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMe4bXduRQ
He steps aside— giving her space, not pressure— but his voice follows her gently.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKEsJKe9Lm
"Let me take you out for a bit. Clear your head, fresh air, real food, something that isn't these stone walls."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFa2h1j7UC
She keeps her gaze on the floor.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8Ya27KGC3
Veronica:
"I can't."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG61oAMeSo
She slips around him before he can answer, almost disappearing into the stairwell.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAdTuXJW6b
Traeven's jaw tightens— just for a heartbeat, before he smooths it away.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWOAMMVdbV
He turns slightly, watching her retreat with that controlled, almost elegant restraint she's known for.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJP2aDiNXc8
Traeven:
"Take the time you need."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEmhlYGqIB
His voice stays monotone, but his eyes betray that sound.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3Eamb18kV
He doesn't follow.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkgArYPRim
He just stands there, letting the corridor swallow her footsteps.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7dbMeEnTq
— Scene fades —
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJRGceyWGJ
+ CASTLE GROUNDS CAFETERIA — EVENING —
After a long hard day's work in the blazing sun, it's now time for the Kitchen's Restaurant Night shift.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpoJU2v4N3
The cafeteria is already roaring by the time Metro ties his apron around his waist.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3nWLRoiRH
Long tables are packed shoulder to shoulder. Boots scraping the floor. Laughter bouncing off the walls. Steam rolls out in thick, fragrent waves.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5pNFDZUgF
Ana runs the joint like she was born it— sleeves rolled, hair tied. Voice cutting through the noise, yet you can tell she's struggling, but not speaking up.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZXEm41hmh
Ana: "Two more pots on the fire!"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AXGtrQR4j
A couple of farm hands jump to obey, scrambling around her with flour on the shirts.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm02fqPVc5K
They're strong,
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE682bFBmh
but green.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQ7fBd0fCI
Ana guides them, and they follow like soldiers.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zB40bgRRm
Metro shoulders past a pair of infantrymen, pointing at a stack of dirty plates.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fbPLvPZhL
Someone whistles at him.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3aI40WvkS
Soldier:
"Overseer in the trenches!" "Look at him— one of us, at last!"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9trWM457Ez
Metro doesn't bother answering. He just drops the plates into the wash basin, rolls up his sleeves, and gets to work.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxeG8c30ru
There's a rhythm to it— rinse, scrub, stack. A beatable challenge, something from keeping his mind reverting to something negative. Not wanting to think about politics, the fortress, or the weight of forty thousand Quarter Blooms.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0Z13kdbMi
He nods in agreement with the infantry men, trying to stay positive.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNFgIQuts4
Behind him, the farm hands are chopping vegetables in the blazing hot kitchen. Under Ana's direction, they try their best to keep up with her direct, assertive order.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8IPkYo49P
Metro wipes sweat from his brow with the back of his wrist.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFzdky5BEp
The whole room is a chaotic furnace, but somehow, the energy is still good.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3i4oGXMnTW
Alive.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK01TywG2d1
Human.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnDpJsXt9y
He carries a tray of clean dishes back out to the floor. Soldiers cheer when they see him.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLQj5GNFn5
Soldier 2:
"Overseer! more brew over here!"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jtQG5xGBY
Soldier 3: (pointing at a spill)
"Hey! You missed a spot, there!"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfkDj6rDgI
Soft laughter erupts from the front of the house, rolling through the doors in a warm, rowdy wave.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRH7uBF3oI
Blake glances up. That split second is all it takes. His hand brushes the iron Skillet.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Idco1oNWO
A sharp hiss.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyg0oE9iNv0
A sharp gasp.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobPz3hEQja
Blake: "AH!— Ow!… hot!"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwaIULNfSD
He jerks back, knocking a spoon off the counter. Then a bowl. Then a ladle. A full cascade of Blake-ness.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXKTTj4lL7
Farmhands dodge, and try to catch things, scrambling.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qqP5Bn88m
Blake shakes his burned hand, trying to play it off.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLc7DKSiInY
"I'm good! Totally good!"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwbmkdoLgs
Ana scoots beside him, instantly grabbing his wrist, leading him to a bowl of cold water.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPrXBMMl0B
She dumps his hand in the water, looking at him deeply for a moment.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTzy2aYG8e
Blake:
"I was just checking the tempature…. I'm ok…"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQKuaxvs1e
Ana: "Blake… Get some fresh air…"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUau3QxvTW
He opens his mouth to protest.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zl5EUuNb7
Ana:(nods, assured)
"Go."
Blake nods, embarrassed, cradling his hand as he steps out.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NlZTEKKi5
Metro weaves through the panic-packed cafeteria, performing a balancing act, plates on his forearms, elbows on his hips. The noise is a wall— boots, mugs, laughter— but he moves through it with practiced calm.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVjzOKaI6G
He reaches Lutheran's table. The infantry leader is flushed red from ice brew, shoulders loose, grin wide. His band of soldiers already half gone, leaning into each other, loud and warm.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pqubrLfJ9
Metro starts stacking bowls, then collecting cups. A soldier elbows his buddy, then calls out.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoMblPwtNX
Soldier: "Overseer! Report! How many dishes have you slayed!?"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yOfexA47p
The table erupts. Metro doesn't rise to it. He just gathers more cups, stacking them on top of each other, three sets of stacked cups in one hand. He balances bowls and mugs like he's done this a hundred times.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjYhdqNm5b
Smooth.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3B89L8LKI
Almost graceful.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhjjLTBTqv
That only fuels the infantry's noise more.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Qy8CFMydX
Lutheran watches him with a lazy, amused tilt, swirling the last inch of ice in his mug.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHruxn2Zci
His eyes half lifted, voice warm and calm, but devastatingly stern.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LsXmfecZH
Lutheran: "Well boys, if he doesn't make captain… I'm sure he'll make for a beautiful waitress!"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTM7xRFJhCG
The joke detonates. The tables explode— fist pounds on wood, men howl, some riviting of there benches.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPZgdvwIyX
The laughter rolls across the room like a wave. Metro freezes for half a second— not offended, not angry— just unsure how to process it. His face heats, but he keeps his chin up, posture straight.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jUpnvdpOr
He turns, cups and bowls high in his hands, and walks away with an unreadable expression, the roar of laughter chases him across the hall.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eS2UbyA95
He doesn't look back.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBcLJ5uqSA
He doesn't know how to feel.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdoUK32wT4
He just keeps moving—
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVNffAVhdG
— METRO'S PERSONAL CHAMBER —
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3x4D99HNTP
Steam rises around Metro as he sits in his chamber hot tub. He scrubs coconut oil through his hair.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZHtIGoz95
The chamber is dim, candlelight flickering across the stone. For the first time all night, its quiet, peaceful almost…
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHOF1kZbyr
The laughter echoes, disturbing his stillness.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhb5ayye1Z
Not the joke, just the sound of it.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfEbydFnFd
It unsettles him.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEh10vhqgj
Water drops down his face. He sinks deeper into his bath, all the thoughts hit him at once.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPYPbKIaEL
Rose's softness, Veronica's sharpness,
Theron's political weight, the laughter…
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFSFnklIev
His face settles into a stare, conflicted, still.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTLJJG54Tx
His sight focuses on candlelight as if trying to see a future he can't name.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGRCoPZw2y

— MORNING —
The room holds a blue still vibration inside of it.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBuCeuAahb
Metro wakes from his chamber bed— the air feels thin, almost sacred, but not quiet.
He sits up slowly, shoulders rolling once. The smell of cold ash and dry wood linger from last night's fire.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTlPeMILjq
He tears into a strip of jerky, the salt waking his tongue.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81VqHqr8p1
He meditates for a few moments, just at the edge of his bed. Feet planted on cold stone.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3lvmSU4op
Hands on knees.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQ6Y7CAn6F
Back straightened.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ338bj3Sgtk
Eyes closed.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8Q165jctV
He grounds himself, he releases negative energies, and recharges himself. A faint white glow is seen shimmering ever so slightly. It feels cool and refreshing.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaMdNBQBah
As he dresses— shirt, belt, boots— the leather creaks softly and the cotton feels nice, each motion deliberate and unhurried.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6zFdAY5mP
A slip of paper waits under the door. Ana's handwriting curves around it.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g0TZzeLWQ
✱ left early on the first chariot to the village. Blake insists he comes. We're headed back to check on home. Keep working and don't worry, we will be back tomorrow before sundown.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RmS8FJ7EG
Love,
Ani ✱

— DOWNSTAIRS —
The kitchen is alive for breakfast, rising steam, metal clattering, voices layering a morning routine.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TEwVzdz8Z
He continues to push through the set of steps, each one splitting wider than the next. Through the cafeteria, into the main hall. He doesn't stop. Doesn't speak, just moves with that calm, purposeful stride.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXuXbMGv7R
Outside the front gate, the glowing hay fields can be seen.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KlM7YQXtu
The air here hits colder— crisp enough to sting the lungs. The sky is pale, washed gold, trying to break through the blue.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHim34eIVY
The towering gate stands open. Guards stand, and some sit, breath fogging in short bursts.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0C6OXHm9ns
Sally waits near the post, tail lashing back and forth, ears pointed toward him before he even lays a hand on her neck.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05YuzL84Ma
Metro swings into the saddle in one smooth motion. For a moment he sits still. His eyes sharpened with an inward draw. He leans forward and gently taps Sally with two heels.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGn7I8syYMr
Metro: "Let's go babe."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmny5Z5L4CB
Sally moves. They take off, cutting through the cold morning, into the Whispering Forest.
