The Dark Dragon

Story

[SCREEN TITLE: 4950 AS]

[scene begins in an arena. There are winds blowing, and a dragon suddenly drops onto the ground, dead. Another dragon stands over his body, rolling it over, and then he turns to look at the dragons spectating the battle. Suddenly, a dragon landed onto the arena, holding a necklace with gemstone beads, and then put it over the winner's head. The necklace hang on the dragon's neck]

CLOVER (V.O): A long time ago, there was a king whose only ambition was to rule his continent. Dragon feared him for what he could do. As the years passed, his kingdom and army continued to grow, along with his greed.

[SCREEN TITLE: TWO YEARS LATER]

[scene cuts to show the DarkWings army bowing to the king, who's holding a spear. He turns around, looking forward and seeing a village. Cuts to the king and the army arriving at the village, and all the villagers stare at them in fear. The king walks forward with his spear, getting closer to the villagers]

KING ALMARASH: Do any of you have any idea who I am?

[the villagers shake their heads in fear, trembling. Almarash smiles and approaches them. He slams his spear onto the ground]

KING ALMARASH: I am King Almarash. Son of King Javan, the rightful dragon of the DarkWings throne. My kingdom is on the edge of absolute power in the continent. [hold out his talon] Join me, we will make this continent ours, or all of you can perish in your slow, painful... death.

CLOVER (V.O): He continues to go across the continent, town by town, his army grows. Dragons who obey him become his loyal subjects, and dragons who don't...

[scene cuts to Almarash dropping a dragon's body onto the ground. On the dragon's chest is a sword impaled in the body, with blood stains near the area. Almarash walks away from the body, still holding his spear]

KING ALMARASH: [to the guards] Burn down the village.

CLOVER (V.O): Everyone in the continent feared him. In a short amount of time, almost the entire continent was his, until he came to Rainfall Forest. My home.

[scene cuts to Almarash, along with fourteen other dragons walking around the Rainfall Forest, searching for the last village of the continent. Almarash is looking at a scroll, revealing it to be a map to the last village. He puts the map back in his bag, and continues to traverse the forest]

DARKWING DRAGON #1: [squinting at a silhouette beside a tree] Uh, My King, there seems to be something lurking in this forest.

KING ALMARASH: [turning around to face the dragon] What is it?

[suddenly, a green hawk emerges from the tree and grabs the dragon into the air. The dragon screams, and he just disappears into another tree with the hawk. Almarash holds up his spear, looking at the rest of his dragons. A vine emerges from a tree and grabs another dragon, dragging them into the forest. Almarash begins to panic as he holds up his spear. He looks around him as his dragons continue to be taken away by the forest until he's the only dragon left in the area]

KING ALMARASH: What the hell is this?

[Almarash senses something near him, and he turns to look at it, seeing a silhouette of a dragon. He blinks once and the silhouette disappears. He breathes quickly and looks around in confusion. The silhouette stands behind him without him knowing, and it approaches him, touching him in the back before it disappears. Almarash turns around in fear the moment the silhouette make contact with him]

[Almarash lifts into the air, retreating from the area when four vines emerge from the trees and grabs each of his limbs. Almarash groans as he tries to free himself from the vines, but a dart hits him in the neck, putting him to sleep. The vines release him, and he drops onto the ground, slowly opening his eyes to see the silhouette standing over him before he fall unconscious]
