Season 1:Episode 2

Start from the beginning
                                    

Grim comes tumbling into him from behind. Jalkar loses the egg which falls over the side of the small cliff.

The egg lands at the bottom and teleports away with a loud boom. A trail of energy can be seen pointing in the direction the egg went.

Jalkar:
Oh… Grim… YOU IDIOT!

Grim:
*defensive grunt*

Jalkar:
Now we have to find it again before someone else does!

Grim:
*disappointed growl*

Jalkar sighs and takes a moment to collect himself.

Jalkar:
*sigh* The energy trail pointed north… towards Underwood.

Grim:
*grunt*

Jalkar:
You’re right, it is heading away from Etherea, so let’s get moving.

They move off towards Underwood.

Cuts to Sendaria. Many Ardoni are peacefully working. over a hill and on the other side two younger Ardoni are sparring with wooden swords.

Suddenly one knocks the other backwards into a small pond with a splash.

Ria:
*worried* Oh! Are you alright Senn?

Senn struggles back up out of the water. A lily pad slides off his head.

Senn:
Yeah… yeah I’m fine.

Ria reaches her hand down to help Senn out of the pond. After grabbing her hand, he yanks her and pulls her into the pond beside him.

Ria:
*gasp*

Senn:
Ha ha!

Senn climbs out of the pond. Ria gets back up in the pond looking angry but also smiling.

Ria:
*friendly* That’s not fair…

Senn:
Do you think the undead fight fair, or the Nether, or the many other dangers out in the world?

Ria climbs out of the pond.

Ria:
And how are we going to get out there?

They engage a bit more. Senn holds his ground better now.

Senn:
One day we will… somehow.

horse feet galloping along. an unidentifiable horse rider approaching the area. He rides up and stops on a low hill, looking down at Senn and Ria.

Back to Senn and Ria.  More clashing. Suddenly Senn pulls back. Ria charges forward, sword raised high.

She stops suddenly as Senn stoops down passively, hands on his knees.

Senn:
Ria Sendaris?

Ria is a bit shy, wondering what Senn is about to say next.

Ria:
Yes…?

Senn:
I made you something. It’s not the most beautiful weapon in Sendaria but…

Senn draws a long wooden pole with a thin iron blade at the end.

Ria:
Senn, this is incredible, I love it!

Ria twirls the sword around getting a feel for its balance.

Ria:
If father sees this he’s going to take it away.

Senn:
Then I’ll make you another one.

Senn smiles, and Ria smiles back. She continues twirling it.

Senn:
Wanna try it out?

Ria:
Of course… but now I’m going to destroy you with a weapon like this.
