EXT. TROPICAL FOREST - DAY
DAMIAN and SIRRINA trudge through the dense underbrush, sweat dripping from their brows.
DAMIAN
(wiping his forehead)
Well, it's better than the desert.
SIRRINA
(fanning herself)
I guess so. But do you have any idea where we are? It's so hot!
Damian pulls out the LEGEND TABLET, studying the map.
DAMIAN
We're headed in the right direction.
SIRRINA
(sighing)
I wish we were
A loud ZEEM cuts her off. Damians eyes widen as he draws the LEGEND SWORD, its blade glowing bright blue.
SIRRINA
(drawing her rapier)
The sword is warning us. Something is near.
In the distance, a PROTECTOR awakens, its eyes glowing red. Damian barely has time to react as it fires an energy beam. With lightning reflexes, he deflects the beam back at the Protector, exploding it.
The Legend Sword's glow fades. Sirrina stares at Damian, stunned.
SIRRINA
Whoa, that was good.
DAMIAN
(breathlessly)
What was that? The Legend Sword...
SIRRINA
(nodding)
It glows with power to defeat any servant of darkness when threatened.
DAMIAN
(sheathing the sword)
Well, where to next?
SIRRINA
(consulting the map)
Keep going south.
CUT TO:
EXT. LIZADROS CAMP - DAY
Damian and Sirrina crouch behind a tree, surveying the camp. Five LIZADROSES roam the area, one perched in a watchtower with a bomb-tipped arrow at the ready.
DAMIAN
(whispering)
Damn, this is going to take some strategy.
SIRRINA
(nervously)
Please, Goddess Celia, don't let them see us.
Damian swiftly takes out his bow, silencing a Lizadros sneaking up on them. The tower guard looks their way, and they press themselves against the tree.
DAMIAN
(irksomely)
Screw this.
Damian leaps up, firing an arrow into the tower guard's head. He readies the Legend Sword as three Lizadros charge. He unleashes two energy beams, felling the beasts.
SIRRINA
(furious)
Damian, never do that again!
Damian grins, sheathing his sword and approaching the roasting turkey.
DAMIAN
(smiling)
I love Celdin.
SIRRINA
(angrily)
We can't eat now, we have to save Celia!
DAMIAN
(holding up his portion)
How am I supposed to eat all this?
A blast of light incinerates the turkey. Damian looks at Sirrina, his food stolen.
DAMIAN
Hey!
SIRRINA
(resigned)
There, now come on.
Damian walks with Sirrina, eating his salvaged piece of turkey.
DAMIAN
(mmming)
This is the best thing I've ever had.
SIRRINA
(exasperated)
Such a child.
DAMIAN
(smiling)
I love it.
Just then, a fireball blasts the ground before them, sending them tumbling.
DAMIAN
(irksomely)
Hey! I was just enjoying my food!
Drakon emerges from the shadows, a deadly black warhammer in hand.
