61Please respect copyright.PENANA4B2mxt2kuN
THE MOUNTAIN PEAK—
Crows spiral over head the dampened daylight, shining like omens, Cat stands at the cliffs edge, boots inches from the drop, he raises his telescope.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAAh5PxcGcKP
The distant fortress burns like a miniature picture frame below him.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAohmQcoMa04
His two top commanders are already gone, tempted and now engulfed in the battle.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAA0JUU8hn6f
Next to him, slightly behind him stands a shorter woman.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAGmltz6zyRF
Her hair is long, black, straight and severe, and with red streaks. Red tinted sun-glasses, dark eyes that judge everything.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAHFUwFgafpr
An elegant black trench coat outfit covers her with matching brown feathers on her shoulders.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1mocqb03f
Her hands are at her sides, twisting a single glow leaf between her fingers.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAHk2I468tK3
A pompous, cruel beauty.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAjI2jgttcNF
She stands next to Cat, hands wrapped around his arm, letting go now, a piercing stare coming from her ruthless gaze.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAP8KqYxUkeK
She crosses her arms, hips angled away from him, shaking her head in slow disapproval as she watches the fortress crumble.
61Please respect copyright.PENANApYHfMc4GF5
She doesn't speak.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAwWijrUPtzT
She doesn't need to.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAn9AjaaFzBz
Her presence alone is a verdict.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAuQ9lZdDXmS
— NEAR THE FOREST EDGE — FRONT CASTLE HAYFIELDS —
61Please respect copyright.PENANAZehSUPxKzP
Bruised, scraped, and hiding behind a bush.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAzJiOn1NyEc
Veronica refuses to leave the scene.
61Please respect copyright.PENANA9cMNqWDSII
She crouches in the forest shadows, eyes locked on the fortress. She watches the knights and infantry flood through the main gate, leaping over the bodies of more than a hundred dead bandits.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAVTUIMp6GmX
She stays.
61Please respect copyright.PENANA5hMsPOmV0s
She endures.
61Please respect copyright.PENANA97dGCviXvs
She watches, waiting.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAUUgTSArd9D
— FRONT OF MAIN HALL — ENTRANCE COURTYARD → ACREAGE — 40 ACRES —
61Please respect copyright.PENANAcliSCjXMmM
The soldiers thunder past Metro — horses, shields, lances, spears, bows and swords — a tidal wave of steel and panic.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAMxtTN2a4Bt
Metro walks in the same direction.
61Please respect copyright.PENANARYxZyhht2U
Slow.
61Please respect copyright.PENANA1qvMYnchec
Staff in both hands.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAq53z4rbEJW
Engulfed with bright whiteness, a living fire.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAKFF3JcI2Mw
Soldiers spot glances at him, startled, unsure...
Once they realize he's on their side, they sprint past cautiously, giving him a wide berth.
61Please respect copyright.PENANABoEY0wxLSy
Metro looks like a myth walking through a war.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAq8wH4N1bsM
— THE BATTLEMENTS — RIGHT SIDE —
61Please respect copyright.PENANAyolLgA3tjx
Jeffrey fires from the right middle battlements arrows pinching through the skulls of massive bandits near the breach backed wall.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAHCqnNoSk4M
Blake crawls to Chad, trembling, bowed down, useless, breath shaking. He hides behind him like a terrified child.
61Please respect copyright.PENANABMp9ivxu0a
Chad:
"You gotta move!!"
61Please respect copyright.PENANADVPLQBz9yH
A fire arrow slices into Chad's upper chest and neck area.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAWNZpPdQXdK
— SHRMMN —
61Please respect copyright.PENANADOrzw6PYMl
Blood splatters.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAngdVuCWxNv
He collapses against the wall, bleeding out, staring directly at Blake — as if Blake fired the shot himself.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAZUxi0YNAZn
Blake panics, yelping desperately, gripping his bow and quickly scrambles behind a stack of barrels.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAI6x7z98iqW
— Back Wall Battlements — Upper Watch Towers —
61Please respect copyright.PENANAHQxmE6v1Vh
Drunken, flexible bandits swarm the battlements under the clouded sky. Colorful leaves drift through the confusion, with hooded reapers slicing through archers— Bundles of glowing trees, flying effortlessly over and out the castle's broken exterior.
61Please respect copyright.PENANACF5yG4Xe84
— THWIP —
61Please respect copyright.PENANAQskMmvZ1HG
Stones crash down from pillar tops. Reaper bandits leap over the archers like frogs, flowing like water, completely ignoring the archery and swinging down to the smokey harvest.
Their long staffed blades cut down glow leaf trees with mechanical rhythm.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8ITbPqUKq
Archers turn to shoot the reaper bandits, leaving their backs exposed to the swaying killers climbing up the walls behind them.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAPSRFbsjptT
Sam fires his bow desperately, dropping another bandit down below.
61Please respect copyright.PENANA6hnWW5XxEI
A crossbow bolt whistles past his cheek —
Lutheran saves him again.

Lutheran watches the tide turn.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAYyttvs0ysN
He sees the bodies, the smoke.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAFPa6zvYSMs
He sees Chad.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAr99wsl5CBc

61Please respect copyright.PENANAPwryRnDYtT
Lutheran drops to his knees.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAyGljmwdeb9
Luthers (panting, helpless)
"CHAD!!"
61Please respect copyright.PENANAp1kcEH7keF
He presses his forehead to Chad's chest.
"No," (loud, painful)
61Please respect copyright.PENANAm2lM2c1mhp
" Chad…"
61Please respect copyright.PENANAdxR0aamDVl
— grunts
61Please respect copyright.PENANAs98kgBTDMI
He throws back a clear vial serum down his throat, swallowing, then smashes it on the stone.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAZcXIQlCUzJ
(Something inside him snaps)
61Please respect copyright.PENANAqhqKJFyJOP
Lutheran hears a lion roaring in his thoughts, his vision brightens in tone — trancing out he envisions a lion's eyes inside of his temple.
61Please respect copyright.PENANASnxMvT6MGU
— The world slows —
61Please respect copyright.PENANAGoTO01lMtW
His breathing steadies. His eyes sharpen, burning inside. His crown chakra tightens, sharp and bright around his head.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAaVb5M3W5fZ
He walks toward the right back tower, crossbow raised.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAGb1KSNlfBe
One shot — headshot.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAYUsXsPcIyZ
Cocks the crossbow.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAlU8tcT2vzJ
A disgusted look on his face, taking his time as he walks forward, slowly.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAr6tFniX87A
Lip curled, eyes raging.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAVKEVJFT8Pb
Another shot — through a bandit's neck.
61Please respect copyright.PENANATmja5XNWgF
He approaches three bandits stabbing an archer helpless on the ground.
61Please respect copyright.PENANA7YF5jGFEMB
— Reloading — face still forward.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAKq1jxVhyTL
Lutheran hoists his crossbow, exchanging to his bow staff.
61Please respect copyright.PENANA9gb2AgKIU1
Draws…
— still disgusted —
61Please respect copyright.PENANAShIi7U9YYY
Fires three arrows in perfect rhythm, each one piercing the backs of spines.
61Please respect copyright.PENANA9wyatKkQTm
THWIP — THWIP - THWIP —
61Please respect copyright.PENANAYHGjUadhac
Bandits yell out in agony.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAPEuU7S7Jjp
He keeps walking.
61Please respect copyright.PENANABsTyyYBOnR
He taps his hand gently on the back of a bandit's shoulder. The bandit turns, confused, thinking Luther is friendly.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAtpy6Bug356
He isn't.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAW53B1JvbpZ
Lutheran smiles warmly — then guts him clean.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAcOR7cEjrVf
Another bandit charges.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAv1tRTePMM3
(Instincts fade)
(speed returns to normal)
61Please respect copyright.PENANAqhixlZ0mWm
Lutheran crouches, leaps, and slices the attackers throat mid air.
61Please respect copyright.PENANATMsUATDw59
He continues to swing his knives wildly while bodies pile around him. Smoke and fire twist through the daylight.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAXEBeXb3PF0
Yellow autumn leaves scatter across the blood soaked stone.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAMdQw2jWBCt
The fortress is becoming a graveyard.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAhToYhgiBfj
An absolute bloodbath.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAM0NODBCyV0
— IN BACK OF THE FORTY ACRES — BATTLE COMMENCING —
61Please respect copyright.PENANAZxqXiRdhhB
Knights gallop past Paul.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAM5H94v67iK
Bandits stomp through fire and smoke.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAMOWjaoSkve
The old man inside the harvester roars with laughter as the machine tears through the acreage at an alarming rate, arrows piercing out of the metal and wood.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAWviI9M8EhU
The oiled machine swipes down the field like a true Harvester.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAMJ83ubbn0H
Paul is the closest to the smoke.
61Please respect copyright.PENANASDh2DSSMwE
Looking for the action.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAmLMeoXKNVI
Engaging.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAOLf4m0QHak
His vision warps.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAsQEdrJquQE
Shapes bend.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAjxPzySqcRm
Sounds are muffled.
61Please respect copyright.PENANA94jZUhDc1b
But he keeps swinging.
61Please respect copyright.PENANA32T8IfloXK
The soldiers try to hold formation behind Paul and the knights. Shields locked, firing toward the back wall — until 3 massive bandits blast through the shield line. Scattering men like toys.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAYr7Bot3NDp
A big bandit rushes. Anger rising and voice at a high pitch octave.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAuEQrfrAi1C
Paul doesn't hesitate.
61Please respect copyright.PENANANLby5Y4I9h
His axe buries itself into a bandit's forehead.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAkLMwEEoxEa
The bandit drops to his knees, twitching.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAyOiemm0T2M
Paul's axe is stuck.
61Please respect copyright.PENANA0xacuvaih7
He kicks the corpse, ripping the blade free with a wet crack.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAbo1vYyEKOA
Another bandit is stabbing a fallen soldier over and over.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAOaPtLftw4r
Paul grabs the attacker from behind, gripping his hair tight, yanks him upright, and hacks through his neck with repeated strikes.
61Please respect copyright.PENANANwhwksoFy9
Brutal chops, like he's felling a stubborn tree.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAxUIpF1z2Zb
His green aura thickens, swirling in toxicity. Flowing emerald waves around his whole temple like poisonous deep hatred. •• His eyes glow with venom. There's nothing left in them besides utter destruction.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAAXyatC0Kmb
He kicks a bandit between the legs, not holding back, full maximum force, The poor soul falls to his hands and knees, then flat on his stomach, face down first gripping his loins, butt in the air.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAdeSQ9JtkcQ
The big man tries to get up. Surprisingly.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAkpdWp5Lu43
Paul spins forward before the enemy can rise — a full one-eighty into a three-sixty tornadic blade swing, skinning the bandits crown clean off.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAVJM8FQDZXR
A slither of hairy scalp flies through the daylight into the smoke.
61Please respect copyright.PENANA0jM6YJ1ygo
Blood trailing.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAYljSEdriV9
Disappearing.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAHdKOCAQlgC
He ignores the harvester.
61Please respect copyright.PENANATsEkrbUFk6
He paces forward.
61Please respect copyright.PENANArHyH6vdQXB
Expressionless.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAgiGBHppxRS
Paul has become a walking death.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAq1hghY3ysK
— MIDDLE-BACK ACREAGE — REACHING THE BATTLE —
61Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZSWKPkBBy
Metro reaches the battlefield and sees soldiers being over-run.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAynMIYIFz4C
His eyes glow fiercely white.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAtUoqFbOGEK
He lifts his staff with a grunt.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAi1AexZhUwi
Roots explode from the earth, choking bandits, pinning them to the ground.
61Please respect copyright.PENANATl60ihaG2h
Soldiers seize the opening.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAWRGEVpzTvE
Metro sweeps his glowing gem-staff to the opposite side.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAtZx80EyFh2
Glow leaf trees whip their branches, smacking bandits off their feet, disarming them.
61Please respect copyright.PENANA9iFpNxvsDz
Metro sees the old man screaming in the
harvester machine, reaping everything down rapidly, but now turning away from him and his holy white bonfire presence.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAVGGq9AZdoO
He throws both hands in the air violently, cloak rattling, and staff still gripped.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAOJFjSaxGeu
Metro: (screaming painfully)
"HIIIIII!!!!"
61Please respect copyright.PENANAJthW5rVpIX
Large roots burst from the ground swallowing the harvester. The old man holds his goggles with one hand, and hits a lever with the other.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAlGX3lL5xrx
Old man:(pulls lever)
"No!"
61Please respect copyright.PENANAuyJ6IX6619
Large sharp reaper sickles are swung from the bottom parts of the machine, slowly nipping itself free from the binding wood — cutting into it.
It bursts forward, freeing itself with a little effort and keeps rolling.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAdex9TBIAfQ
And then —
(scene switch)
61Please respect copyright.PENANAqQpH9ZNMev
A cluster of assassins emerge from the bottom left side and behind the main gate, cutting down soldiers with fire arrows, darts, and stars.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAra7uV2QECX
Paul sees soldiers fall, wounded, screaming in blurred colors.
61Please respect copyright.PENANA8Uv8lrzkz5
He hurls an axe —pins an assassin to the wall, blood splattering the wall in a red painted canvas.
61Please respect copyright.PENANARcCuUvg2RN
He jogs forward, his blue flannel now stained red, and retrieves his weapon.
