Opening credits role. Fade into a shot of the Inn. Fade into the downstairs. V is sitting at a table, drinking a mug of ale.

Hammerfan: What's the matter hun?

V: It's been three days and I haven't heard a word from Gorephobia.

Chrono suddenly runs up beside her sister.

Chrono: Isn't that good?

V: What?

Chrono: I thought that would be good news.

Hammerfan: How is not hearing from his friend good news?

Chrono: Oh. You haven't heard from him. Must be dead.

Hammerfan hits her.

Hammerfan: Ignore her. Drink your ale and I'll fetch you some lunch.

Hammerfan walks off.

Chrono: Sorry. I always say the wrong things.

V: It's okay. You're probably right.

V looks out the window towards the field where the fight happened. The camera zooms out of it, speeding across the fields and over the river. Eventually, after going through a small forest it gets to a large hut. The camera stops in front of the door. It opens. Gorephobia walks out, followed by Roshiq.

Gorephobia: How long was I out?

Roshiq: About three days. I don't know what it is. Maybe it's to do with the walls.

Gorephobia: What?

Roshiq: The castle walls. They're singing. It makes some people drowsy.

Gorephobia: How can walls be singing?

Roshiq: I thought you knew the Geddy story.

Gorephobia: I do, but this is new.

Roshiq: I'll explain. You see, As Geddy was imprisoned in the castle walls, his soul remains. And his children, or rather his children's children.

Gorephobia: The descendants of his children. Right.

Roshiq: Well, they're gaining power. He can sense it. He's crying out. It's a warning.

Gorephobia: Yeh, but singing?

Roshiq: Well, he doesn't exactly have a voice. It's almost an echo of him, resonating through the halls.

Gorephobia: That would explain a lot. Did you find the weapons I brought?

Roshiq: Yes.

Gorephobia Sorry I didn't bring more. I was in a hurry.

Roshiq: It's fine. Now they have the design, the elves should be able to reproduce them.

Gorephobia: Where are the creatures?

Roshiq: In the mouth. They haven't come out for a while. I don't know why. They won't say.

Gorephobia: They won't talk to you? But you're their saviour.

Roshiq: Please. They could look after themselves. I'm a mere human.

Gorephobia: Humans cant's rip people in half with their mind.

Roshiq: That's all it is. My mind. I was born with the ability to tap into our ability. With some training I became. Well, me.

Gorephobia: So you could train me?

Roshiq: I could...

Gorephobia: But?

Roshiq: You don't have the ability. You'd know if you did. It would have ruined your childhood. You would have been feared. Trust me, it isn't fun having this curse.

Gorephobia: We need to talk seriously. What are you going to do about V?

Roshiq: I've not met a warrior I can't kill yet.

Gorephobia: Please don't.

Roshiq: He's going to try and kill me. He must be stopped.

Gorephobia: You don't understand. This one's different. I've seen warriors come and go, they come, have some fun in Hope Death Comes then bog off. But this one. I can just tell.

Roshiq: What? You mean he's a creature?

Gorephobia: No. But. Well. He thinks things through. He works them out, doesn't get scared when he thinks things are out of his league, you know.

Roshiq: And? That only makes me need him dead more. He poses a bigger threat.

Gorephobia: He offered to risk his life to protect mine.

Roshiq: Look-

Suddenly, a small bearded man runs up to them.

Roshiq: What is it Rét?

Rét: We're under attack sir.

Roshiq: How many?

Rét: About fifty soldiers, coming this way. But there's something else.

He's cut short by a sudden roar and a shot of flames shooting high up into the sky from about a mile way.

Roshiq: Dragons...
