0:00 Black screen. Rain begins to fall.
0:04 In the dark, a small pale flower grows from bare earth, wet and shivering.
0:08 Boots step through the dirt. Glowing petals and pale sparks scatter from each step.
0:12 More boots and armored feet march through the mud.
0:14 A huge army fills a rain-soaked plain under a cold blue night, soldiers in rows beyond sight.
0:16 A knight in silver armor raises a lance. Banners and small winged beasts fill the sky above the ranks.
0:18 A mounted knight rides at the front of the army, lance lowered.
0:20 The two armies meet in mist. Riders and foot soldiers swing swords and axes.
0:22 A heavy axe and spears strike shields. A helmeted soldier in a fur collar takes the blows.
0:24 Armored soldiers lock weapons, sparks flying.
0:26 A soldier's face is hidden behind a dark helm, his shield held close.
0:28 A hand holds up a small flame as riders and soldiers gather behind it.
0:30 The flame bursts into a blinding yellow glare.
0:32 A huge ball of fire swells like a sun.
0:34 Fire sweeps across the ground, a wall of flame rolling over the plain.
0:36 A glimpse of a face in pale armor, lit by the blaze.
0:38 A golden sword hilt cuts through the flames.
0:40 The blade burns in the firestorm.
0:42 Charred riders stagger in the red light, the ground glowing with embers.
0:44 Rows of soldiers advance on the dark plain, fires behind them.
0:46 Red lights glow across the horizon.
0:48 More red lights spread in a line across the dark.
0:50 Armored soldiers in fur collars crowd forward, their backs to us, spears raised.
0:52 A fur-collared soldier turns, his weapon pointing at a dark horizon.
0:54 A woman with a long green braid and a purple cape stands facing a warrior in red armor, who charges at her.
0:56 Two fighters in dark armor, one with a spiked helm, collide.
0:58 Armor and a blur of motion.
1:00 A woman with long pale green hair and a white flower in it looks out with a determined face.
1:02 A yellow blade of light slashes at a warrior in dark armor.
1:04 A horned warrior bends low in the dark, hunched in heavy armor.
1:06 His face is old and bearded, with white hair and a fur mantle, horns curving around him.
1:08 Seiros stands on a green hill with an army behind her, her pale green hair crowned by a tiara with small wings.
1:10 Up close in the light, her hair shines gold. A flower is tucked behind her ear and her green eyes are sharp.
1:12 The old man with a gray beard snarls, one yellow eye glowing.
1:14 A mushroom-shaped cluster of glowing gold segments spins in the dark.
1:16 An explosion of orange fire.
1:18 Chunks of red stone fly past.
1:20 Seiros glares, her golden circlet low on her brow.
1:22 A giant golden-sandaled foot rises above the hills.
1:24 It crashes down, tearing up soil and stone.
1:26 Small on the plain, Seiros in a purple cape stands with a round shield before a huge army.
1:28 The old man lunges with a long blade.
1:30 She turns and catches his blow with her sword, her cape swirling.
1:32 Red metal plates and a green braid whip around in the fight.
1:34 The great foot kicks up a blazing wave of debris.
1:36 A burst of white light as the blades strike.
1:38 Their weapons cross, the old man's horned shape against her purple cape.
1:40 A small figure falls onto the dark brown ground.
1:42 He swings a heavy blow while she raises her round shield.
1:44 Face to face, she glares at him with the sunrise behind her, their swords locked.
1:46 His bearded face up close, one yellow eye wide.
1:48 She and the old man trade strokes in a rush of cloth and steel.
1:50 She leaps and swings her sword high from the left.
1:52 He throws out an open hand, and a chain of burning links stretches from it toward her.
1:54 A white sword hilt and a bright orange edge strike toward the camera.
1:56 The flaming blade shatters into debris across the ground.
1:58 A streak of orange fire tears across the frame.
2:00 The links of the burning chain-blade whip through the air.
2:02 Seiros, in a white breastplate and a green and gold dress, holds a jagged sword and a shield.
2:04 The old man scowls, his cloak whipping in the wind.
2:06 A huge sword spins end over end through the air above the battlefield.
2:08 Seiros and the old man are face to face again under a dusky sky, locked in the clash.
2:10 A golden horn curls in close-up, her sword swinging past it.
2:12 Seiros stands on a rise, holding her shield, the armies far below.
2:14 The horned old man lies on his back, hurt, his helm cracked, as she looms over him.
2:16 Seiros kneels over Nemesis, a blade in her hand.
2:18 A close-up of her wide eye, his shape mirrored in gold in it.
2:20 Only sky, streaked with clouds in the evening light.
2:22 Seiros's dark shape hunches over him, her arm driving down.
2:24 Her hair falls forward over a flower, her head bowed in rage.
2:26 She strikes again, light flashing across her cheek.
2:28 From far above, the field is bare brown earth. A tiny figure lies in the dirt.
2:32 Seiros screams at him, her face twisted, blood on her cheek.
2:34 Her face in profile, hair clinging to it.
2:36 Her eyes glow green in the dusk.
2:38 A white sword lies on the ground, its golden hilt shining.
2:42 A gauntleted hand grips the sword's blade.
2:44 Seiros lifts the blade close to her, a strange, hungry calm on her face.
2:46 She raises a hand, its fingers stained with blood, to her face.
2:48 Her eyes close, and she smiles as her bloody hand touches her cheek.
2:50 Her eye opens, green and sharp.
2:52 From high above, a dark figure and a white one lie in the dust of a wide, empty plain.
2:56 The screen goes black.
2:58 Swirling colors, red, green and blue, pour around a ruined tower.
3:00 The spiral tightens around the tower's dark door.
3:02 Black.
3:06 In darkness, a girl with long green hair sits slumped on a stone throne at the top of a flight of steps.
3:10 A green light rises around her as she sits with her head resting on one hand.
3:12 Close on the girl: her golden tiara gleams and her eyes are shut, her cheek on her hand.
3:14 Her eyes slowly open, a pale green.
3:16 She rubs one eye with the back of her hand.
3:18 She yawns behind her hand, and her eyes close again.
3:20 She props her chin on one hand, looking down at something.
3:22 Her eyes widen and her mouth opens in surprise.
3:24 She stares straight ahead, startled and still.
3:28 The picture darkens and fades to black.
