[Opening Scene: A World Divided]
Dark clouds roll over the vast, broken land of Kumandra. The camera sweeps over the shattered kingdoms—once united, now fractured by fear and mistrust. The air hums with the whispers of ancient legends, and the distant flicker of lanterns struggles to hold back the looming shadows.
[Cut to: Raya, a lone warrior, draped in a cloak, riding Tuk Tuk across the desolate terrain.]
Narration (Raya's Voice): "My Ba used to tell me stories of a time when Kumandra was whole—a time before the Druun. Before the war. Before trust was lost. But that was a long time ago. Now, our world is nothing but broken shards, and the only thing sharper than the blades we carry… is the distance between us."
[Flashback: A golden age—five kingdoms standing together, the power of the Dragon Gem holding the darkness at bay. But harmony shatters as greed and fear consume the land. The Druun rise again, turning people to stone, swallowing hope whole.]
Raya’s grip tightens on her sword as she gazes at the ruins of a once-great temple. The wind carries echoes of laughter that once filled its halls—now replaced by silence.
[Cut to: A Map of Kumandra, its pieces glowing as the names of the five lands flicker—Heart, Fang, Spine, Talon, and Tail.]
Narration continues: "Some say the last dragon, Sisu, still exists—that she’s the key to saving us all. But finding a dragon… that’s just a myth. And myths don’t save kingdoms. Warriors do."
[Close-up on Raya’s determined gaze. She pulls up her hood, setting off toward the unknown. Lightning cracks in the distance. The journey begins.]
