# MV00_01 (1:02): the prologue's village at night. Kostas swings at Edelgard, {player} blocks, time stops, and a girl on a throne
# names herself Sothis at 0:55. Byleth's pronouns are {he} / {his} / {him}: the F twin reads "she" / "her".
0:00 Night at the edge of a forest village. A bearded bandit with a fur collar, Kostas, sneers down at someone.
0:03 His bandits rush forward through the dark, blades raised.
0:06 Kostas charges across the grass with his axe toward Edelgard, who stands with her back to him, white hair and red cape.
0:09 He heaves the axe high over his head.
0:11 Seen over Edelgard's shoulder, the blow comes down at her.
0:12 {player} lunges between them, and {his} sword catches the axe.
0:14 The colors drain to blue and violet, and everything freezes in the middle of the strike.
0:17 The frozen scene melts into swirling darkness.
0:20 {player} stands alone in a black void, outlined in a faint green glow, {his} sword in hand.
0:22 A close-up of {his} eyes, calm and blue.
0:25 {He} stands still in the dark, {his} long black coat hanging around {him}, and slowly looks about.
0:33 {He} turns toward a faint light far ahead.
0:36 There, a small girl with very long green hair, braids and a golden tiara lounges on a stone throne, her chin propped on one hand.
0:42 She tilts her head and studies {him} with sharp green eyes, plainly annoyed.
0:48 {player} gives a faint smile.
0:50 The girl closes her eyes and nods to herself, satisfied.
0:54 She rises from the throne, her hair and ribbons falling past her knees.
0:56 Now standing before {player}, Sothis looks straight up at {him}.
