Winter

Story

[SCREEN TITLE: 2200 AS]

[scene begins with a flag blowing violently on top of a giant temple. In the distance, an army of IceWings stands, facing the army of SandWings opposite of them. One of the SandWings trembles as he breathes, staring at the IceWings ahead]

LYNX (V.O): The animus magic has existed with us for thousands of years. No one knew where it came from, nor how we gained it. But as generations passed, the legend grew... and so did the magic.

[an IceWing steps ahead of the army's frontline, staring at the opposing army in the distance. The IceWing is wearing a tiara on her head and a pair of wristbands. She stops after taking a few steps ahead of her army]

LYNX (V.O): IceWings were among the first dragons to possess such powers. Some believed those who had them were gods. They gifted the kingdom with unfathomable powers. The IceWing Dynasty swept every part of Pyrrhia.

[the IceWing leader raises her talon in the air, commanding her army to stop. She approaches the SandWing army, signaling for them to surrender. She watches with a smug on her face as the leader of the opposing army breaks through the frontline]

LYNX (V.O): The gifts were used to advance the kingdom. Queen Neve knew it. But... she always wanted more. Before long, she gathered her army and began her conquest. She slaughtered thousands within weeks.

[Neve stands still, keeping her eyes on the army ahead. Out of nowhere, she quickly dodges, revealing a sharp and thin arrow that has been fired at her. The arrow punctured onto the ground, and she stares at it and smirks]

[Neve raises both her talons forward, smashing her wristbands together. Her body vaporizes and she disappears, and the SandWings watch in horror and confusion. Suddenly, they see the IceWing army quickly advancing toward them]

[the SandWings hold their ground, but they quickly notice the dragons on the frontline being easily defeated. A SandWing breathes heavily, watching as SandWings are thrown against other SandWings]

[the ground suddenly ruptured, knocking many dragons onto the ground. The IceWings arrive, invading and attacking their enemies. Neve reappears between a circle of SandWings, and she leaps above one of the dragons and snaps his neck]

[Neve opens her wings, lifting into the air. She watches from above as her army slowly pushes the SandWing army back. She stares at the temple behind the SandWings, and she dives toward it rapidly]

[Neve breaks through the temple, using the strength of her tiara and smashing the entire temple. The SandWings outside watch in horror as their temple collapses. Neve stands above the rubbles of the ruin, watching as her army surrounds the leftover SandWing army. She smirks sinisterly]

LYNX (V.O): Her empire quickly expanded to every corner of the continent. She called her army "The Seven Circles". By her sixteenth hatching day, her dragons had infiltrated all the kingdoms. No one tried to defy her, and no one could.

[scene cuts to Neve standing on a giant stage overlooking the Ice Kingdom. She is wearing the strength tiara on her head, smiling and staring at the sun dipping below the horizon]

LYNX (V.O): Her dragons moved in shadow. If any rebellion formed, they were immediately erased. Half of Pyrrhia were under their control... queens were assassinated... and kingdoms toppled.

[Neve walks down the grand hall of her throne room, followed by two IceWing guards behind. She slowly and elegantly sits down on her throne, adjusting her diamond wristbands]

LYNX (V.O): She spent her lifetime chasing power, and in the end, she never had enough. Her hunger for power threatened all parts of the continent. She gathered every dragonet in her kingdom, and she exploited those with what she desired.
