We cut to nighttime, where we see a campsite with a dozen or more soldiers preforming various tasks. One of them sharpens his sword. He continues to do do this until he feels a hand on his shoulder.

???: look sharp son

The soldier looks to see General kreig... with a bandage where his left eye used to be

Kreig: you're in for one hell of a battle

Soldier: General kreig, i-is it true that the shalesteps fell?

Kreig:(looks down) aye (walks to the middle of the campsite) and the monster is still unknown

The soldiers look at kreig with worried expressions

Kreig: but you're the arm's of emon, trusted by sovereign uriel with the safety of the realm. We don't need to know the enemy, only ourselves. Our training, our devotion to this land...no matter the danger, victory is ours if we fight with honor and raise our swords high!

Kreig raises his sword up high

Captain: you heard the general (raises her sword) for emon! As one!

The rest raise their swords proudly

Soldiers: as one!!!

Soldier: pffft, what a load of shite

Kreig: let's finish making camp, a storm is blowing through tonight

Kreig enters his tent. Several hours pass as the lights have dimmed. The wind picks up causing the soldiers to arise from their tents. They see a shadowy figure in the sky flying towards them. The iron storm has returned.

Captain: eye's up! We got incoming! Stand your ground!

The soldiers got ready for battle

Captain: archers get ready.....let loose!

The archers fire their arrows but the dragon dodges them. The dragon then fires it's lightning breath at the archers incinerating them

Captain: ready the catapult!

A soldier aims a catapult at the dragon

Captain: RELEASE!

The catapult fires and hits the dragon with an explosion. The soldiers cheer in victory and the captain smirks, only to stop after seeing the dragon still alive

The dragon fires it's breath at the Captain burning her to a crisp. The other soldiers look in horror and start to run away in fear. The dragon swoops down and starts massacring everyone. The same soldier from before hides behind a tree before looking at on of his comrades

Soldier: fuck honor!

They both running only to be grabbed by the dragon. The dragon lifts them into the air and drops them to their deaths. The dragon then roars and flies off into the night sky

(Timeskip)

We cut to inside the Palace where we see lady allura, lady kima and sovereign uriel speaking to general kreig

Uriel: and you saw it? Who did this?

Kreig: the beast is a blue dragon sire. Only a handful of us managed to escape

Uriel: my gods (looks at allura) allura, you've dealt with such creatures in the past. How do we fight it?

Allura: Well that was a red dragon years ago, but to my experience dragons are fiercely intelligent calculating creatures. Their machinations run deep

The door opens and they see fince entering

Kreig: ahh, sir fince finally joins us, I hope this crisis hasn't tipped you from your stockings!
