EXT. - ZARAGOZA, PROVINCE OF ARAGON, KINGDOM OF SPAIN - EARLY MORNING - 1493
The animated scene FADES IN with the view of the sun rising above the mountains. To the right, we see a large cathedral and in the middle, the edge of a mountain cliff. And below in the valley is the medieval city of Zaragoza. Three large towers stick out from atop of the cathedral. One of the towers, the largest, bares the symbol of a cross. Rays of light illuminates the cross, as the sun rises higher and higher into the heavens. This place is known as La Seo de Zaragoza or the Cathedral of the Savior of Zaragoza.

They both wear dark hoods, concealing their faces and shrouding themselves in a cloak of mystery. They both carry a Tizona sword by their side. The men continue to gaze further into the distance for a while longer...until they turn to look at each other and nod their head. Yet, we still do not see their faces. Right after, they turn their horses around and face towards the opposite direction and head downward and exit out view. Yet still, we do not see their faces...
