85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4204g5iU8
The sun glints off their white horses, the wind roaring past them as they push harder, chasing the wall past the chariots towards the side entrance.

THERON’S LODGE -
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdX752z0fv
Metro, Rose, and Blake exit the carriage together.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsNRsoQy7A
Curtis and Sally snort, shaking dust from their manes as Metro and Rose tie their horses to the post.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO30n3a0ZJ4
The convoy behind them clatters to a stop, soldiers marching, armor shifting, glowing crates creaking in the wagons.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRVgMwxe6n
The captain shouts,
“We’ll continue forward to the shipping docks, hurry and load up so we can be at sea before nightfall.”
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5PWCrOvwj
Rose’s instincts flicker — a faint tremor in her bones.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadNuIK4Rmi
The Kings guard stomps past, leading the group up the steps.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpvexJJCSO
His presence is heavy — too heavy — like the air bends around him.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZcljnNDgk
Rose breath kicks in (activating instincts)
she grips to Metro shirt, fusing her energy into him making his glow more condensed.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPd1Cm6imd
As the guard passes, she sees it.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFlt3RczJ8
A black void around the guard.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pEulAoKdl
A hollow aura.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7q3tY9fl6X
A warning.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJfEIv7y0i
Sally sees it too — ears pinned back, muscles tight.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXw9vncAze
Blake squirms, shrinking into himself.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4Nd2hyrOi
He hates confrontation. He hates tension.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTiaCcbyNV
Metro walks forward but he’s somewhere else entirely.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvy2hx5wp32
After reading the scroll, his mind is still turning.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHrJnRTe2m
(Thinking) “What must I must I do to prosper...”
They pass the beams holding the front deck and step inside.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6GMHeIM27
The Kings Guard stops at the entrance.
Standing like a statue - unmoving -unreadable, bidding them to enter with nothing but his presence.
They pass the beams holding the front deck stepping inside.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhuA0yjG3V
Rose slips past him - her instincts still active, her eyes wide with terror as she tries to hide. Blake hurries through avoiding eye contact, lost in his aura glowing louder. Metro steps in last, his aura glowing louder now.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZr4Dnt85YU
Inside the hallway -
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWQbDDfyfK
Traeven:
‘Welcome.’
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7LW3jrRMm
Metro looks at Traeven expressionless eyes flickering blue.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFCJHXZVxz
Traeven’s expression shifts obviously hurt but still focused
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2w3AHHlJqA
‘Traeven:
" I see you have the scroll with you. Tell me, did you read enough to prophecy what’s coming next?’
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65ajEVVHps
Rose and Blake stand back, frozen like they’re witnessing an unexpected fight.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLhSuDhSmc
Metro stares - unmoved.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4L8YtooNP4
Traeven smiles even harder.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3VGFoygEa
He turns and signals for them to follow him.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPoRa6fvKA
“I like you Metro. You actually interesting, and you understand me”

Traeven opens the Theron's office chamber door. Walking in first past the masked servant.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGobeS7cQc
Rose walks in. Blake goes in next , his gaze turns, fixated on his best friend.

85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXcZdXCQfA
His eyes glows bright blue
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqTkVep37W
His white aura is extremely sharp around his crown.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtgfnDpxQw
THERON’S OFFICE —
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4ZjxtQbtu
Inside the dim red lit chamber the soft carpet
and padded walls grip sound. Gold and black walls designs shimmer faintly — Theron sits in his office chair, behind him, Susan stands to the right, clearly watching.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZ2wI05yaN
The straw hat fella and his wife stand to the left wall. The servants and archers line up on the right.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ4jB9k5y6
Veronica stands next to her mother, moving towards Metro’s line of sight. She stares at Metro’s glow… then sharply at Rose.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQhRSxYqp1
Rose is already staring back.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOtl4Cf5wM
Traeven hawks Metro.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXutwEfXBcq
The king and queen look exhausted, longing for answers.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPzNKZUnFw
The door closes behind Blake, Metro, and Rose.

Not visible.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBee5nlGH7K
Not heard.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQdDhogejp

85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdU9OPl5QLl
A soft sacred pressure in the air – like the room is holding itself still...
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5uKIlbwUD
...at peace.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13Chzb2h7F
The lantern flames bow toward Metro then away.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CSgis8zP5
A steady white shimmer outlines his crown, like a gentle spirit brushing against the physical world.
Rose feels it first.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65wPjZaO9z
Her instincts spike — A peaceful warmth growing inside her chest slowly.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1MeLXJdt2
Veronica feels it too, but she doesn’t understand it. She just stares harder.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FUPN8r1uX
Traeven feels it — noticing an uncontrollable spark, acknowledging it's power.
The King waits.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD4I6He6U9
A full minute.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OUCxSpfER
Only the sound of candles whisking across the rooms radius. Shadows tremble on the walls, the air thick with anticipated answers , longing questions.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxNX3L6o5l
Everyone feels it now, waiting, watching.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDB9KJXam6
Something sacred has entered the chamber with Metro.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtz3Gjz7bN
Metro stares at Traeven — eyes lower, patient, unblinking.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuUQjP9e0w
He notices it immediately.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtfnMn3VzR
Theron's countenance has changed.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZ5Kcof2mZ
Something hollow, something drained.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpRfxtd7Zi
Metro waits a little longer.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PhgP7cxEH
Several moments pass.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfGXiDHt3X
He turns his back and begins walking toward the door as if he’s going to leave.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NG93A16Li

Blake hasn't budged.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxa4mlcjbU
Everyone watches with intensity—the arches, the servants, the Farmhand couple, Veronica, Traeven.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7BH8biRCZ
Everyone except Theron.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4A450pPS7

Drained.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBJijLw6zx
Barely hopeful.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jF4y85JzL

85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjVUaFQXra
The bright shine surrounds his whole body now. A lantern flame bends towards him.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb7tFsYIL1
Metro:
“What would you have me do, my King.”
Theron stays silent studying him for several long minutes.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RM73t0TyO
Everyone feels stretched thin – Everyone except Metro.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLPB3UdAtf
He stares on.

85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwan4UGzmYz
Metro:
“Is it because you heard I defended your honor – slaying bandits with blades taking off arms and feet of others… in order to defend your crop…”
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8WWhgLEj6
Metro:
“Is this why you sit here… astonished?”
Metro stands in the center of the chamber eyes held upright. The white flame warms the air around them. He stares at Theron patiently.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34yOZat2r8
Unmoving.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03QAz51qHc
Theron’s expression has changed.

85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhyHsrl4GD
Metro:
“... Why do you marvel so greatly... I am a man and your servant. Therefore whatever you ask me to do which is right, I will do for you.”
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOs9iDb3GB
When Theron hears Metro’s words he marvels even more.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRcumhERoA
A tremor of fear.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4HL2d3OVQ
A tremor of reverence.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANunBAQD0x
Theron thinks
(“How can he discern my thoughts?”)
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgHKtBOy48

85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMe6oLT1Hf
Metro:
" This is God."
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBgaDz4vMA

85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxJFCAsJNk
Metro:(voice steady)
" Do you believe that this Great Flame Spirit, who is God, created all things in heaven and in earth?"
