EXT. SCENE OF VILLAGE – AFTERNOON

The peaceful village of Wira full of plants and small humble houses is having a normal day with children running and playing, adults working on jobs and socializing. There is a soft relaxing happy melody playing.

EXT. IN THE WOODS – AFTERNOON

Zoom away from the village and into the woods and a mob of cursed orcs and undead with bloody weapons and torches ,all wearing the emblem of the queen, rushing toward the village. Deep dramatic music.

EXT. IN THE WOODS – AFTERNOON

Marcus is alone at his small camp in the woods just outside of the village by a river with a fire going. As he sits on rock fishing he hears the rumble of mob. Not sure what it is he listens intently. Realizing what the noise is, he quickly grabs his bow and arrow, daggers, axe and sword, and sprints away.

EXT. IN THE WOODS – AFTERNOON

The horde is just about to clear the forest trees when one of the orcs is shot down by an arrow

ORC LEADER

AMBUSH!!!!

Then another orc is shot dead with an arrow. A flashing image of Marcus flies through the mob and three more orcs drop dead. Then Marcus reveals himself from behind a tree. The orcs are enraged.

Marcus, weapons sheathed and very relaxed stands strong.

ORC LEADER

Ahh why the triumphant Marcus, the village protector. The queen has grown tired of your numerous interferences of her desires. You will pay for your actions.

The orcs rush toward Marcus and one by one Marcus slays them all (epicly).

DISSOLVE OUT

EXT. IN THE VILLAGE – AFTERNOON

Marcus walks into the village with the weapons and a body of the orc wearing the emblem of the queen and everyone is gathering to see what he has done.

MARCUS

The queen is sending larger forces to attack the villages. We must rise and put an end to her dark reign. We must come together and fight. I can not do this alone. My brave Wirians let us rise and kill the queen.

Dramatic awkward pause. Whispers among the crowd

Villager 1

Fight?! Us?

MARCUS

It is the only way. We can join forces with the other villages. We can put an end to the suffering.

Councilor of the Village

Our efforts will only make our situation worse. We will inflict more pain and suffering by challenging the queen. We cannot go.

Marcus

WILL YOU ALL SIT AND DO NOTHING!?!?

COUNCILOR

To protect our village is one thing, but to go attack the queen is foolish.

DISSOLVE OUT

EXT. MARCUS’ CAMP – NIGHT

Marcus is sitting alone sharpening his weapons and fixing up his armor. A hooded figure approaches stealthy.

MARCUS

Ange, I have told you many times lighter on your feet and swifter on your movements. *chuckles*

ANGE

Oh man, I was so close. But anyways , Marcus, the people are fearful to stand with you. You can not fight an army alone.

MARCUS

Villages are being burned, women and children murdered. I must try to stop this whether alone or with help.

DISSOLVE

EXT. VILLAGE – AFTERNOON

The village is out and about and there is much talk about Marcus and the idea of rising against the queen.

BLACKSMITH

We could never defeat the queen. Her army is countless and her power is unknown.

CUSTOMER

It would be a lost cause.

ANGE

But we can.
