# MV_OP (1:44): the opening. Crests and legend, armies at war, the students of the monastery, Byleth's path, and a girl asleep on a
# throne. No dialogue; the music carries it. No F twin: Byleth is male here.
0:00 Darkness, filled with drifting blue sparks and a shaft of light from the upper right.
0:02 Jagged shards of pale blue crystal tumble and glitter across the screen.
0:04 The sun sinks behind dark mountains. A ruined castle stands on a rocky height, the sky burning orange.
0:10 A golden eagle with spread wings appears on a crimson shield over the sunset.
0:12 A blue shield follows, a white knight on a winged steed drawn on it in fine white lines.
0:14 A burst of red and yellow light, bright with sparks, floods the screen and fades to white.
0:18 In a golden glow, a robed woman with long dark hair and a crown spreads her arms, wings of light rising behind her.
0:20 Darkness again. Armored riders and soldiers clash in thick mist, swords crossing.
0:22 A wide, dim plain with rows of soldiers marching.
0:24 Red lights glow low across the dark horizon, like the eyes of a vast army.
0:26 A woman with long pale gold hair and a golden circlet looks out, her face half in shadow. Light slowly reaches her green eyes.
0:30 Blue crystal shards swirl again.
0:32 Hands move a carved piece across an old parchment map of the continent.
0:34 A close-up of Dimitri, blond hair over one blue eye, his blue cape swept at his shoulder.
0:36 A stone hall with benches. Rows of students in uniform sit as a robed teacher stands before them in a shaft of window light.
0:38 Lysithea, with long white hair, and Marianne, with blue hair pinned up, sit side by side.
0:40 Leonie, short orange hair, smiles with her eyes closed, a bow over her shoulder.
0:42 A brown-haired young man stands close to Edelgard, whose white hair and red cape fill the side of the frame.
0:44 Claude in his yellow cape stands among a crowd of students, looking out with a calm smile.
0:46 A close-up of {player}'s blue eye, dark hair falling across his face.
0:48 In dark mist beneath trees, a figure crouches low over someone lying on the ground.
0:50 Rhea, with long green hair and a high golden headdress, stands before a stained glass window, her hands folded.
0:52 Embers float up in darkness.
0:54 Before a golden castle wall and a crowd of soldiers, a huge pale blade with a dark hollow in it fills the right side.
0:56 A bearded man in a sleeveless vest walks past soldiers in pale armor, the huge blade beside him.
0:58 A pale man with white hair and a gaunt, marked face glares from purple shadow.
1:00 The huge blade's hilt glints in the firelight.
1:02 Gold sparks drift across a dark blue background.
1:04 {player} turns his head, a sword over his shoulder, flames burning beside him.
1:06 The blade's long edge cuts the frame. Beyond it, a dark armored knight stands in a ruined hall.
1:08 A flash of violet light blooms behind the blade.
1:10 {player}'s face, cold and steady, appears beside the huge blade.
1:12 On a dark plain, a pale-haired woman in a purple cape lunges with a sword, a round shield on her arm, an army behind her.
1:14 A giant golden boot slams down on the ground, scattering dust and stones.
1:16 Her face and an old bearded man's face collide in a blaze of white streaks.
1:18 The old man in fur and dark armor lunges at the woman in a rush of sparks.
1:20 A close shot of a glowing armored leg and fist in black smoke.
1:22 Flames and lightning tear across the dark.
1:24 A stained glass window shines in golden light. A gauntleted arm sweeps through it, petals falling.
1:26 In a sea of gold, {player} in his long black coat stretches out his hand toward a girl with long green hair, who reaches back.
1:28 Their hands meet, palm to palm.
1:30 {player}'s dark hair glows with teal sparks as light spills across his face.
1:32 A great castle on a green cliff glows gold in the sunrise, a winged shape drifting in the sky above it.
1:34 The castle's many towers rise in the warm light.
1:36 Cold green light falls through a tall window onto a stone throne, where a small figure in green sits slumped, asleep.
1:40 The picture holds on the throne and its pale light, then fades out.
