CUT TO: THE REALM OF IHIOSADORE

INT. RUNDOWN STONE CITY - NIGHT

SEVERAL DARK ELVES RETREAT AS THEY SHOOT MAGICALLY ENHANCED ARROWS FROM THEIR CROSSBOWS AT AN UNKNOWN ASSAILANT.

[Dark Elf#1]

It shouldn't be possible! How has he not fallen?

[Dark Elf#2]

I'll give the wretch bastard this, he's got some good armor, but it won't keep him safe for much longer!

DARK ELF#2 LOADS AN ARROW INTO HIS CROSSBOW AND AIMS IT TOWARD THE SMOKE CLOUD AS THE ASSAILANT BEGINS TO BECOME VISIBLE.

[Dark Elf#2]

Let's see how you feel about this one, knight!

DARK ELF#2 SHOOTS THE ARROW AT THE ASSAILANT AND HE BLOCKS USING HIS ZWEIHANDER. THERE'S AN EXPLOSION AND THE GROUP OF DARK ELVES CHEER AMONG THEMSELVES. A FEW SECONDS LATER, THEIR CHEERS ARE ALL QUIETED AS DAWN BREAKER WALKS THROUGH THE SMOKE SEEMINGLY UNAFFECTED BY THE ATTACK.

[Dark Elf#2]

What sorcery is this?

[Dawn Breaker]

Retreat to your hidden kingdom while you still have the chance. My business does not involve you.

[Dark Elf#3]

You are an invader on our lands, rogue knight. You should be the one fleeing if you knew what was good for you. You're clearly not that bright, do you believe you have any chance on your own against the likes of us?

[Dawn Breaker]

One is all that is needed.

[Dark Elf#3]

We'll see about that! I will humble you and you will live the rest of your days as my slave! Lesrsmems!

DARK ELF#3 FIRES A LIGHTNING ARROW AT DAWN BREAKER. DAWN BREAKER EVADES THE ATTACK, DARTS AT DARK ELF#3, AND SLASHES HIM ACROSS THE CHEST. DAWN BREAKER EVADES AS DARK ELF#2 ATTEMPTS TO SHOOT HIM AND INSTEAD SHOOTS DARK ELF#1 IN THE CHEST WITH THE ARROW.

[Dark Elf#4]

Voklith! Are you stupid? Don't use arrows when he's this close!

[Voklith]

Shut your mouth Grethrour or I'll put an arrow through your skull next!

GRETHROUR ATTEMPTS TO BLUDGEON DAWN BREAKER WITH HIS MACE, BUT DAWN BREAKER BLOCKS THE ATTACK AND SLICES OPEN GRETHROUR'S STOMACH.

[Dark Elf#5]

He's a monster!

[Voklith]

He's hardly anything but lucky! Emarsae burs!

VOKLITH SHOOTS AN ENERGY BOLT AT DAWN BREAKER AND HE BLOCKS IT USING HIS ZWEIHANDER, HOWEVER, THE FORCE OF THE ATTACK STILL PUSHES HIM BACK. DAWN BREAKER SMASHES INTO A ROCK PILLAR SEEMINGLY STUNNED FROM THE ATTACK.

[Voklith]

Ha! There's your monster!

VOKLITH CREATES AN ENERGY ROPE AND USES IT TO COLLAPSE THE PILLAR ONTO DAWN BREAKER WHICH PICKS UP A LARGE DUST CLOUD. VOKLITH EXULTS HIMSELF AS HE APPROACHES THE RUBBLE.

[Voklith]

So much for your monster and Khithrah's slave! If he was to be anyone's slave he was to be mine since the dog did mangle Khithrah like a rabbit! All he should be now is a squashed corpse and a lovely trophy for my—!
