'THE MONSTER BURIED WITHIN'
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ967X2cgSHg
— PAUL'S SHACK —
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3a3PEBW3H
A faint gray light leaks through the shutters. Paul wakes slowly, sitting up on the edge of his bed. He rubs his face with both hands. A roughly fixed routine.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwPdaE9y16
He kneels beside his bed. No words, just a tired, silent prayer.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9oR4WDi0p
— PAUL'S YARD — MORNING —
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqgZCKgbmk
Paul sits at a small wooden table outside eating a simple breakfast, with a cup of something strong.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIlTXQSdsW
Chickens wander around his boots. He gestures at them with his fork. A chicken hops on the table. Paul shoo's it away.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiVZKGVnYn
— NOON — VILLAGE MARKET SQUARE —
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1ydEgPRDy
Paul walks through the bustling square for someone's stall, but there's an empty space where the carts usually set up.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAi526SHmgQ
He stops.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hCDSNOPS1
Stares into the market's distance, the crowd overlapping the streets. He rubs his hand through his hair. A mix of worry and annoyance.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKDLAQBHm4
— PAUL'S WORKSTATION —
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQPDzV5CvC
Paul sits at his bench trying to fix a tool— a cracked handle, a bent hinge.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngLUeap388
It slips.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAe2e9iTFq
He curses to himself. Trying again.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAQTwe1evU
It slips again.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Eowx9vxaN
He tosses it in frustration.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D8vdP0Mj3
Then picks it up gently, trying to manage his temper.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTeFzVaEH1
He keeps working.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ35GNmNdMN
— PAUL'S YARD — AFTERNOON —
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIUGrggQNe
Paul stands alone beside the chopping block. The forest is still behind him. A single log sits upright. He raises the axe and brings it down in a hard, rhythmic knock.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAujfxTNZF
Each swing is heavier than the last. He breathes, sweating in frustration.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8z70Yj10Yy
Paul raises his axe again, then brings it down in a clean, practiced strike.
As the wood splits, a memory flickers.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1WwXN6lx5
(FLASHBACKS) HIS DAUGHTER —
(LAUGHING IN THE MARKET)
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDosXiTsn4
She's younger, bright-eyed, tugging on his sleeve as he trades tools and lumber. She teases him for being too serious.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWttNRDFtBO
He pretends not to smile— (back to the present)
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1S4dJ9QdG
Paul sets another log.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7xmeUlcEs
Another swing.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4Lgv0bDEq
(FLASH:) HIS DAUGHTER — TALKING ABOUT A SOLDIER —
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8m1fpgKJYa
She's older now.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwtY98ffU0
Nervous.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYJ2CXxOhl
Excited.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFk8msThVj
Telling him about the boy from Theron's army.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhFQpQTp03
Paul's jaw tightens in the memory.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdwJxu9Pwp
(flashback paul): "they're dangerous men. You stay away from them."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ycmYCFbrf
She rolls her eyes, frustrated. He feels her slipping away.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMWGzdc0Z5
Another log.
Another swing.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3AcQW90uw
Harder this time.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hPLe6eODt
(FLASH:) THE LAST ARGUMENT
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolFciRGok9
She stands in the doorway of their home. He's tired from the market. She's angry, defiant.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg02dGbKOE
(flashback paul): "I'm trying to protect you."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukWNQwUbIM
daughter (flashback): "You're trying to control me!"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuhjpKQdh0
The memory ends before the door slams.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sAtvCSbIz
— INSIDE PAUL'S HOME — DUSK —
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbo8qAJShRZ
Paul sits at a small table inside his shack. A simple meal in front of him.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddzXTSe2i7
He eats slowly, staring at nothing.
The house feels hollow. Like it's waiting for someone who isn't coming back.
He thinks of the last words they exchanged.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXs1uDyZa2K
The sharpness.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApkVi7bGqi
The distance.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNI9WjSvMiB
The regret.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWc5lskHu5f
His hand tightens around his mug. A breath, watered eyes. Then he grunts, throwing it against the wall.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡld2jh1isHR
It shatters.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNY3Y7wl5C
The sound echoes through the empty room.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkCuyVdRgJ
Paul closes his eyes, steadying himself, but the silence afterwards feels heavier.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9d0tlVFghH
— OUTSIDE PAUL'S SHACK — SUN DOWN —
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPC2YamxSA9
Paul decides to get some fresh air outside before bed.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbgfVPi9yC
Alone.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjYVa0uPHK
A small plate in front of him and a small fire burns near him, but a big silence remains. He looks down at the long road ahead, at the sun finally disappearing.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Fk1xsPYyI
He continues to eat.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FQoNn0Tuh
Then stares at the road again.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzie2fZhXCG
Longing for something.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAp3PJ1GOnd
Empty.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzQ4UyN1CW
Slowly fading.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79GbqBn0tl
His face softens— worry, longing, stubborn hope.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgWNeFufpe
He takes a deep breath, the wind moves through the trees.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYhVQOXoCy
Paul doesn't move.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYCRLUrojz
He simply watches.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9QGV3lhsg
— METRO'S CHAMBER BEDROOM —
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahWfIFU3NO
Soft light leaks through the shutters.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRLoSAZrJe
Metro wakes slowly. Breath steady, the room still half dark. He sits up, rubs his eyes, and listens— the distant thump of tools, voices, and movements are heard outside.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OohhqeArT
He dresses simply.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIIP8vQ7Md
No rush.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJtg3xtG0N
No dialogue.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PfcQPYbs7
He steps outside.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmorj0fTRW
— COURTYARD —
CONTINUOUS —
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fmprxisjv
The morning is alive.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhUTzz8J7z
Mathias, Ana, Blake and twenty farmhands are already out in the fields, knee deep in soil, planting magical seeds.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZP4MiAVLWo
The air is cool. Dust rises with every shovel strike.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBxlH3lJWF
Mathias barks orders in different directions.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvRTBhAINB
Ana stays coordinated while Blake hauls sacs of premade super soil.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEcU7VtWhD
Metro walks towards them, observant, silent.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeJgTxaC2J
Mathias spots him immediately and grins.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrdpOuMJl1
Mathias:
"So tell me Metro, if things turn for the hills, and we get dozens of Stains through these walls… what are you gonna do?"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0dwzYgcCI
Metro lifts his staff, the green emerald tied to its end with a thin white cloth.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQITTiAfHk
Metro:
"I have this… and two daggers."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykRN2OGU8Y
Mathias looks at the staff unimpressed.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PVo3PFdOG
Mathias: (reaches in his coat)
"A glowing rock on a stick, well no, that won't work…"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ222XwDPJwR
He pulls out a wrapped bundle and shoves it into Metro's hands.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHCsrPcG7E
"Here, these are real weapons." "Similar to daggers, except you throw them like darts."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZup6H2CTP1
Metro:
"This seems better than what I have now. Like i’ve upgraded. Awesome."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkcGXdKYaO
Metro looks at the blackened steel. His breath catches.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59lNNAIjOj
Mathias:
"Now you're ready to butcher a man! Ha Ha Ha Ha!"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vcDGwjL5T
He smacks Metro on the back— hard.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLTRV3DA8J
Metro: (wincing, whining) "Ah—!"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscrZjcCkCJ
His shoulders tighten, nearly dropping his gift.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrudZye5Jhv
Mathias laughs even harder now, for the whole yard to hear.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuTXF2ibpP
Metro:
"Easy, Matt, we're not cut from the same cloth... Nevertheless, thanks. I have a holster for 10, so it's perfect."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKqhUi6Jy3
Metro nods once.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcQoMwoOIo
"I'll take care of them."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcAtphCazp
Mathias claps him on the shoulder, lighter this time. He turns back to the workers.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCdCeteMqP
Metro adjusts the eight new daggers inside his coat. The steel feels heavier than it should— or maybe he feels heavier.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrsigZDTlt
Footsteps approach softly through the dirt. Ana comes up behind him, wiping soil from her palms, her expression warm but perceptive.
She studies him, the tension in his shoulders, the way he's holding breath without realizing.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6pUsNsc6o
Ana:
"Are you ready to work?"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQUwfoKl8j
Metro nods, but his eyes drift towards the horizon— the direction he instinctively feels Rose to be.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQ608CmNCc
Metro:
"Where's Rose?"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisyVJBHtH6
Ana's face softens.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpE5mmBYYb
Ana:
"She left last night. Lilly too."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizB4PfQWiX
Metro's jaw tightens, slightly.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUBeqDPMkD
He lowers his gaze, that quiet controlled way he processes pain.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iEmHYS6Gv
Ana continues gently.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjaI2yjVSi
"And Veronica, Jeffrey, Phillip… They were called back to The Village with Theron at The Lodge."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSCo6GQAfs
Metro absorbs that.
The courtyard suddenly feels wider.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeBXDn53sG
More calm.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucGYottEmj
He thinks of Veronica's explosion— the shouting, the desperation, the way she reached for him. The world takes a step back. He thinks of Rose standing there, watching it unravel, silent, hurt, steady. He thinks of the way the night ended—
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JSqtVkHTv
Fractured.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDYOm0eiiH
Heavy.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBf8MPEOMn
Unresolved.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNLwlTvK8J
Now they're gone.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSq9hoBq7q7
Metro stands straighter but something in him sinks.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoimBr0B1E
Ana:
“People come and go, but the work stays."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADf2Q7YHWR
She turns towards the fields.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZEvsXydBH
— 40 ACREAGED CASTLE FORTRESS —
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0AU47kEhA
The field stretches out long, soft rows— forty acres of dark soil waiting for hands. Morning light settles over everything in a warm, healing haze.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pXUEHxcaN
Mathias gives a sharp whistle, checks the perimeter with two scouts, and disappears towards the tree line.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8ruK9EHp0
Ana steps forward.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9yzEl9S3X
Twenty Farmhands gather around her— men and women, boots dusty, sleeves rolled, souls ready to work.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qqTAB04gW
Metro stands by the main hall's entrance, watching from a small distance, content to listen.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPucp9elKEx
— SEED PERSONALITY —
"A.NATURE."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx858XYdO7R
Ana reaches into the heavy bag of seeds and lifts one between her fingers— a dark burgundy seed, striped with tiger-like scarlet bands that shimmer in the sun.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcBQruANJ4
Ana:
"This seed is in the firestarter family.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKitKk4M7sp
Fast growers.
Fast reactors."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnin7ElFEP
"They respond to heat, stress, and sudden change more than most."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemG6Zs1nZ3
The farm hands lean in.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeu5MEQM1jn
"Genetics give them their instincts, but how you handle them decides their behavior. Gentle hands make balanced plants. Rough hands can make a plant defensive or resilient. It depends on the stress, the genetics, and the plants own willingness to survive and thrive."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSjtdiWxgx
She selects the fire starter seed, dropping to her knees, with a heavy bag of dark colorful seeds by her side. She presses one into the soil, and covers it lightly.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBadU27cwP
Then she opens a small vial filled with a tarnish, sandy-water type liquid.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprp8ChepnG
Ama pours a single drop onto the patch.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtjrVaU8zr
The seed responds immediately, trembling in the ground, and in seconds, forming a small seedling. Its aura shines faintly red, warm and alive.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfcZ6r4Vmo
Metro watches, eyes steady.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9m5KQzvqfM
Ana nods once, satisfied.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnZGILVQSd
— ROOTS —
"The Plant Brain."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95ogCCpp7m
Ana kneels further, drawing a symbol in the soil with her cane. The ground carves dirt in a circular motion.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4A3eJdlMu
The ground responds— a faint shimmer— spreading outward, revealing a web of glowing root-lines beneath the surface.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35B5djIuyH
The farmhands gasp softly.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiviFYeQD6M
"Roots are the plants functioning mind. They sense danger. They share nutrients. Warn each other. They even choose who to help… and who to choke."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkLT1JJh5D
She presses her palm in the soil. A white formation of roots can be seen beneath the ground trickling downward with vibrant sparkles.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZ38BorLhj
The tiny roots pulse gently.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO4201VwS1
"Everything beneath us is connected in some way.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaraw28WOe7
Just like us.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtC71i4Vmx9
Our thoughts.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4ebIpRrTZ
Like outer space, loaded with stars and galaxies. And beneath them, the earth expands and contracts subtly— alive, breathing constantly.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWJa2wpoLt
"They need each other..to heal each other.
Just as we do."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zTmbSpmlp
They compete.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjC3Vte6zPc
They survive.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmdiveNwF7
The roots decide more than the leaves ever will."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPcH4jMdlc
The glowing web fades back into the earth.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1a4ktaVvT
Metro stands in stillness, watching the light disappear beneath the soil.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUTWyoK8Wl
— AURA SPACING —
"Give Them Room To Live."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7GXx49Ntq
Ana stands, brushing soil from her hands on her cottage dress.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje6XnLoYzE
"Plants will compete for sunlight.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JiK754LD2
For Air.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2PV8P6Glk
For nutrients."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXvJqizwJi
She waves her hand over a row of sprouts.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUobwhs6fa
Their auras flare— soft halos of green, yellow, and blue.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacrd6KUXwD
"If you plant them too close, their energies clash. They steal each other's light. They grow fighting, twisted."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EDkBg1Yl4
She continues, calm and clear.
"Some plants need balance. Roots structure, room to breathe."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIraBx4Zpb5
She spaces the sprout with a gentle sweep of her hand. Their glows widen, bending like water colors.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7LmYihdna
"Give them room… to each is their own."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUnOlCEa7G
Personalities will vary. It's all about how you train and nurture your seedlings."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqD98R1bhC
Metro watches the colors shift across the row,
smiling faintly, attentively.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wq4upVwwH
— LIGHT MEMORY —
"The First Light Shapes Life."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAgCJkZTwz
Ana lifts a sprout towards the sun. The sprout glows— soft gold, like it's waking up.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFO8zrIJqs
"These little guys remember their first light… If it's harsh, they could get scorched. If it's soft, they'll probably become balanced. This is the light you want."
(looks up at the sun)
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXWVk7Xwmv
Warm.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfIcMS7gIq
Kind.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH724HHiAti
Ever so present.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIcKVI17Ai
She lowers her head slightly, eyes still on the sprout. "Even so, most can be sculpted— to adapt. Each have different attributes and abilities. And sometimes you'll find extremely rare things, troubling things… and amazing things. Discoveries that you'll want to keep in your family's garden for generations."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvifcmapxGb

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfnOaBdbPj
"Alright! Spread out. Every row, Every mound— plant them exactly how I showed you.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMK8J6nwWq
Let's move."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbAd1x6iAn
The farmhands break into groups, forming long lines across the fields.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSihjImsoq
Hands sink into soil. Rows begin to glow in soft waves as the planting commences.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Y68uFVKpc
Metro grabs a pouch of seeds.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkXdq9gQaO
Dust rises.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbvK6QLTaP
Shovels thud.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmKD85dzsD
The field becomes a slow coordinated rhythm. Footsteps crunch behind them.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hbMjFhbjE
Mathias returns with four men, brushing leaves off his coat.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HRsyLCubo
Mathias:
"Perimeters clear, scouts haven't seen anything, only elks and a fox."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1KFqN3rPo
Soldier: "Hey Metro, when the trees ripen a bit, you mind if we partake in some magic leaf!?"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNJGkW64tN
Metro gives a faint nod.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRD6w6CHr0J
Metro:
"I don't mind. Let's get the harvest cut down first, perfectly, before we start sampling though."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ancZnCWJy
Before the soldier can grin, Mathias smacks the back of his head.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4VJmzfaDu

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTQbcn2JHv
Mathias:
"You fiend! We don't mooch until the work is done!"

He turns to twenty infantry behind him.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBEL8JVpc4
"You heard miss Ana! Get to the fields, in the dirt! Help plant every last seed."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFw4kJNHcV
The soldiers groan, but they move— grabbing tools, kneeling beside the farm hands, joining the rows.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBL6jgELrfn
Ana walks up to Mathias with a pouch of seeds.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXb7FsuXvG
Ana: (tosses seed pouch into Mathias's hands) "You too."

— KING'S LODGE — THERON'S CHAMBER — MORNING —
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rrWLGqz0t
Veronica stands before her father in that dim, heavy room, the air thick with tension.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fbW4ajloM
Theron isn't the charismatic lord he pretends to be in public. His eyes are hollowed out now, cold. He's darkened like a man who's burnt through every emotion except control.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEQvd4ZX7X
Theron peers through a tall window, the cold wash of the morning light.
He stands with his black cape facing her, hands clasped behind him, staring out over the courtyard like a man carved from stone.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KCrLEDaZQ
Theron: (turns head slightly)
"What's wrong?"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGAobB6u6J
Veronica:
"Nothing. I did what you asked."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCqIO4EY6U
Theron:
"And… How is everything? What's he doing?"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIu7BjzaDOC
Veronica:
"He brought back rations, medical supplies before your wagons arrived. He's claiming his position as overseer of the cultivation project."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeldlffdQIe
Theron clinches.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F0LOiVERP
Veronica:
"The soldiers seem to love him…"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVu8yBa7WnD
Theron's mouth twitches into a bitter smirk— thin, humorless, the kind a man wears when someone beneath him has out-performed his own supply runs.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwipyItBJCE
His grin thins, then vanishes, a subtle, calculating wound, then turns.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr36rV0Y2mB
Theron:
"Do you?"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6d2bQ3Cq3
Veronica pauses.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFK9VonINO
Her eyes flick away, then back, trying to hold his gaze but can't.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptoPNBY0J4
Theron feels her distance.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ih0xmiyaL
He doesn't speak. He just lets the silence sit—

Heavy, suffocating.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXlH6anXoO
Theron:
"Then he will be useful."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeyMvs0XAY
Veronica:
"I don't want to do this anymore."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb10m1zLGu
Her voice barely leaves her throat.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlYZXUB3kH
Theron doesn't move.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPevquddxUy
Doesn't soften.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDpDAJ5pje
His voice stays level, carved from granite.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXTsCBnLSa
"The importance of this project cannot be overstated. Someone I trust must truly oversee it."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVe0lW7fUy
(A beat)
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iNCWUQaTr
He turns slightly to the window.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9eqIAmpsn
"And you have always served me faithfully."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOLglvJw4b
(Another long beat)— the kind that presses on the ribs.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYOZWiqag6
Theron: "I know something happened between you two. I will learn what, in time."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA8oieEemc
His vision shifts to the window.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrXTsDcvVa
(Dismissing her.)
"Take some time. Then return to The Whispering Fields with Phillip and Jeffrey."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxwqXPb86A
The room settles into silence again, heavy and unyielding. The door closes behind her with a muted thud— and something inside her chest closes with it.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgPF74VBNs
She moves quickly down the corridor, almost too quickly. The air is colder out here, sharper. Her emotions follow her like colors bleeding into one another.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAMfTylJcV
Suppressed anger, exhaustion, jealousy.
The corridor is still cooling around her when a shadow slips into her path.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x0WD1cO5Y
Traeven.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5KK8fXhqu
He doesn't block her, just angles his body enough that she has to slow. His voice stays low, careful, like he's afraid she'll bolt.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGKYCdMZoZ
Traeven:
"…Hey. You alright?"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AFgbDBits
She lifts her eyes— not fully, just enough for him to read the strain she tried to leave behind in that room.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCXbvaCpZ8
He studies her face, the way her breath catches, the way she's masking too quickly.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5SjQMnFej
"Talk to me."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3bQ0aSm5U
(A beat)
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2naDU1NKa
He softens, something protective flickering through.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0FazJS9yN
"Is this about Metro?"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTf8wFeWcrD
That lands.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdT8LdJU2GK
She doesn't answer, but the silence does for her. Traeven exhales through his nose, a soft, faint, knowing sound.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8up0oModpB
"He's different now. I see it too. But, you don't have to carry whatever it is that stirred up— alone."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRnlcFIGvR
He steps aside— giving her space, not pressure— but his voice follows her gently.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHalrMuTm86
"Let me take you out for a bit. Clear your head, fresh air, real food, something that isn't these stone walls."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9hONlazEZ
She keeps her gaze on the floor.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmab759B97N
Veronica:
"I can't."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2jjoe3SYi
She slips around him before he can answer, almost disappearing into the stairwell.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU3wGQySGv
Traeven's jaw tightens— just for a heartbeat, before he smooths it away.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpP924FITYy
He turns slightly, watching her retreat with that controlled, almost elegant restraint she's known for.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1J1DuQ7k7E
Traeven:
"Take the time you need."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoJZOntUxA
His voice stays monotone, but his eyes betray that sound.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMawuitQy9
He doesn't follow.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CJQ0uOVpE
He just stands there, letting the corridor swallow her footsteps.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnh7wiQJRvj

+ CASTLE GROUNDS CAFETERIA — EVENING —
After a long hard day's work in the blazing sun, it's now time for the Kitchen's Restaurant Night shift.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UcjPiDpxG
The cafeteria is already roaring by the time Metro ties his apron around his waist.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBNzNwNK6Y
Long tables are packed shoulder to shoulder. Boots scraping the floor. Laughter bouncing off the walls. Steam rolls out in thick, fragrent waves.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXn8yPNVK8O
Ana runs the joint like she was born it— sleeves rolled, hair tied. Voice cutting through the noise, yet you can tell she's struggling, but not speaking up.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHEAcu3fOz
Ana: "Two more pots on the fire!"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgtispHCNE
A couple of farm hands jump to obey, scrambling around her with flour on the shirts.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY6tiFsUWE
They're strong,
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvmG3f6Wng
but green.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZGCaEhMfe
Ana guides them, and they follow like soldiers.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYNpDnXUM1
Metro shoulders past a pair of infantrymen, pointing at a stack of dirty plates.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDCnQmRyRs
Someone whistles at him.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDqwoUV36K
Soldier:
"Overseer in the trenches!" "Look at him— one of us, at last!"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XdwW2xSaK
Metro doesn't bother answering. He just drops the plates into the wash basin, rolls up his sleeves, and gets to work.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhSz9hNnNr
There's a rhythm to it— rinse, scrub, stack. A beatable challenge, something from keeping his mind reverting to something negative. Not wanting to think about politics, the fortress, or the weight of forty thousand Quarter Blooms.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpmZ2Vbjt4
He nods in agreement with the infantry men, trying to stay positive.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPDbpeYDDL
Behind him, the farm hands are chopping vegetables in the blazing hot kitchen. Under Ana's direction, they try their best to keep up with her direct, assertive order.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOhvjCf4AY
Metro wipes sweat from his brow with the back of his wrist.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYl3OhzZzz
The whole room is a chaotic furnace, but somehow, the energy is still good.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3mywUkPT4
Alive.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEy5gsVxvO
Human.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4c2JOJyJye
He carries a tray of clean dishes back out to the floor. Soldiers cheer when they see him.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXfIVvkaOI
Soldier 2:
"Overseer! more brew over here!"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWfLzh9DUW
Soldier 3: (pointing at a spill)
"Hey! You missed a spot, there!"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7f9jgn9gPS
Soft laughter erupts from the front of the house, rolling through the doors in a warm, rowdy wave.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbbi7kYQmS
Blake glances up. That split second is all it takes. His hand brushes the iron Skillet.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv6Z7U5Ck1
A sharp hiss.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnY0j74V4c
A sharp gasp.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyW8xOaX83
Blake: "AH!— Ow!… hot!"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82RMvKdUBe
He jerks back, knocking a spoon off the counter. Then a bowl. Then a ladle. A full cascade of Blake-ness.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCREviTcTU
Farmhands dodge, and try to catch things, scrambling.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rSUMQn0OI
Blake shakes his burned hand, trying to play it off.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHMpsoU1Gf
"I'm good! Totally good!"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4nc5iknBH
Ana scoots beside him, instantly grabbing his wrist, leading him to a bowl of cold water.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3htpAGmgYN
She dumps his hand in the water, looking at him deeply for a moment.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxvmu5ccee
Blake:
"I was just checking the tempature…. I'm ok…"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5PsIy4GuV
Ana: "Blake… Get some fresh air…"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTqwLrFsMC
He opens his mouth to protest.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2f5woyzwd
Ana:(nods, assured)
"Go."
Blake nods, embarrassed, cradling his hand as he steps out.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q9u0mGy5T
Metro weaves through the panic-packed cafeteria, performing a balancing act, plates on his forearms, elbows on his hips. The noise is a wall— boots, mugs, laughter— but he moves through it with practiced calm.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6CZ5NANWQ
He reaches Lutheran's table. The infantry leader is flushed red from ice brew, shoulders loose, grin wide. His band of soldiers already half gone, leaning into each other, loud and warm.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB5uXltzil
Metro starts stacking bowls, then collecting cups. A soldier elbows his buddy, then calls out.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlZHQ7PpQw
Soldier: "Overseer! Report! How many dishes have you slayed!?"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPe7d5YCQ9
The table erupts. Metro doesn't rise to it. He just gathers more cups, stacking them on top of each other, three sets of stacked cups in one hand. He balances bowls and mugs like he's done this a hundred times.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDtLQjmh5D
Smooth.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WDWNkuLzr
Almost graceful.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l97ZKk3lv
That only fuels the infantry's noise more.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwJBZ9tIoB
Lutheran watches him with a lazy, amused tilt, swirling the last inch of ice in his mug.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZRe5qo9Bw
His eyes half lifted, voice warm and calm, but devastatingly stern.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHnAUG4pzp
Lutheran: "Well boys, if he doesn't make captain… I'm sure he'll make for a beautiful waitress!"
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkmYZorvB1
The joke detonates. The tables explode— fist pounds on wood, men howl, some riviting of there benches.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbpEE8eU9G
The laughter rolls across the room like a wave. Metro freezes for half a second— not offended, not angry— just unsure how to process it. His face heats, but he keeps his chin up, posture straight.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWugH3AyG3
He turns, cups and bowls high in his hands, and walks away with an unreadable expression, the roar of laughter chases him across the hall.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpUT8xG2tP
He doesn't look back.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJGNAeFFww
He doesn't know how to feel.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiOaPPAMZb
He just keeps moving—
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnhTnh4Gs9
— METRO'S PERSONAL CHAMBER —
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVgCvgApgF
Steam rises around Metro as he sits in his chamber hot tub. He scrubs coconut oil through his hair.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfiKDVAN2g
The chamber is dim, candlelight flickering across the stone. For the first time all night, its quiet, peaceful almost…
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7sQCByrRJ
The laughter echoes, disturbing his stillness.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SYye7K3wO
Not the joke, just the sound of it.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDl3LoVVsY
It unsettles him.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsOhS8Rpl5
Water drops down his face. He sinks deeper into his bath, all the thoughts hit him at once.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyCMPeFd6K
Rose's softness, Veronica's sharpness,
Theron's political weight, the laughter…
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8pgLlSXX0
His face settles into a stare, conflicted, still.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUr4H5GHX40
His sight focuses on candlelight as if trying to see a future he can't name.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oBMr6btYE

— MORNING —
The room holds a blue still vibration inside of it.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR7ksCvjQt
Metro wakes from his chamber bed— the air feels thin, almost sacred, but not quiet.
He sits up slowly, shoulders rolling once. The smell of cold ash and dry wood linger from last night's fire.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJeHfdmHKX
He tears into a strip of jerky, the salt waking his tongue.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPmm94OlKi
He meditates for a few moments, just at the edge of his bed. Feet planted on cold stone.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5rbEsjqyj
Hands on knees.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdWgtNbpBt
Back straightened.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eZl4gRV8P
Eyes closed.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU4YvhMuFK
He grounds himself, he releases negative energies, and recharges himself. A faint white glow is seen shimmering ever so slightly. It feels cool and refreshing.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAwgHX2hRJ
As he dresses— shirt, belt, boots— the leather creaks softly and the cotton feels nice, each motion deliberate and unhurried.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNHXAYSzxv
A slip of paper waits under the door. Ana's handwriting curves around it.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2MDcxNkGz
✱ left early on the first chariot to the village. Blake insists he comes. We're headed back to check on home. Keep working and don't worry, we will be back tomorrow before sundown.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFS2kP2EHUx
Love,
Ani ✱

— DOWNSTAIRS —
The kitchen is alive for breakfast, rising steam, metal clattering, voices layering a morning routine.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPLkmF6Oz0
He continues to push through the set of steps, each one splitting wider than the next. Through the cafeteria, into the main hall. He doesn't stop. Doesn't speak, just moves with that calm, purposeful stride.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TmOIrCX1K
Outside the front gate, the glowing hay fields can be seen.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHthcQrptu
The air here hits colder— crisp enough to sting the lungs. The sky is pale, washed gold, trying to break through the blue.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnOPT3HS3t
The towering gate stands open. Guards stand, and some sit, breath fogging in short bursts.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIGLdMKEy4
Sally waits near the post, tail lashing back and forth, ears pointed toward him before he even lays a hand on her neck.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5ZdHysB1I
Metro swings into the saddle in one smooth motion. For a moment he sits still. His eyes sharpened with an inward draw. He leans forward and gently taps Sally with two heels.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vPmBXOXV3
Metro: "Let's go babe."
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzcKjl2zHO
Sally moves. They take off, cutting through the cold morning, into the Whispering Forest.
