CUT TO: OTEDI, ICELAND

EXT. WOODS - NIGHT

PLASMASONIC STAGGERS AS SHE SEEKS COVER BEHIND A TREE.

[Plasmasonic]

(Thinking)

It's amazing how fast time flies and you barely even notice it. In all that time, there are so many choices that you make and some of them, if you're unlucky enough, can come back to bite you. It happens to be a little bit more literal in my case.

PLASMASONIC HOLDS HER SIDE, SCANS THE AREA AROUND HER, AND LOOKS INTO THE SKY SEEING THE CLOUDS ROLLING OUT OF THE WAY MAKING WAY FOR A FULL MOON THAT FILLS THE NIGHT SKY WITH A PALE RADIANCE.

[Plasmasonic]

(Thinking)

I've made a powerful enemy over the past couple of days. An assassin who's keen on making his mark. He was paid well, an innocent woman is in his sights and I wasn't on the radar until I got in his way.

PLASMASONIC SNAPS TO ATTENTION AS A HOWL ECHOES THROUGH THE NIGHT AIR.

[Plasmasonic]

(Thinking)

...I'm not the type to scare easily, however, this guy has me worried. I have to play my cards right or I might not make it to the next morning.

CUT TO: A DAY EARLIER; OTEDI, ICELAND

EXT. ROAD - LATE AFTERNOON

TO̅MI AND AMERETH ARRIVE ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF OTEDI, ICELAND BY RIDING ON HORSEBACK.

[To̅mi]

Wow, so this is Otedi! It's beautiful.

[Amereth]

Indeed. It's like arriving back in a dream.

[To̅mi]

You haven't said who we're coming here to meet.

[Amereth]

What makes you think that we're meeting with someone?

[To̅mi]

We've come here to visit a town from your past. Surely there's someone you had in mind of seeing.

[Amereth]

...She's an old friend of mine. Someone who assisted and befriended me when I found myself in this land on my travels.

[To̅mi]

I see. Hopefully, she's fairing well.

[Amereth]

That's the thing. To be completely honest with you, I'm not sure. That's why I've come back here to check on her.

[To̅mi]

Don't worry, mom. I'm sure she's doing fine. Life can be stressful.

[Amereth]

I hope that all that is.

AMERETH SHIVERS AS A GUST OF CHILL WIND BLOWS PAST HER, TO̅MI, AND THE HORSES.

[Amereth]

Come, we should give the horses a rest and get something warm to eat.

[To̅mi]

Agreed. I could use a bite to eat right about now.

TO̅MI AND AMERETH TRAVERSE FURTHER INTO TOWN, PUT THEIR HORSES INTO HEATED STABLES, AND ENTER A TAVERN. SITTING DOWN AT A TABLE TOGETHER, A WAITRESS BRINGS THEM MENUS.
