The Dragon: Part 3

Part 3 of the short screenplays i'm writing. Hope you enjoy!

               DARKNESS.

                                   STRANGER (V.O.)

                         It is the oldest story in all of

                         Remnant. A story when dragons would

                         take over the world but there would

                         be a man there to stop them... Not

                         just any man but a man who knows

                         the language of Dragons, a man who

                         knows how to weaken them, control

                         them. Destroy them. This man is...

               FADE IN:

               EXT. VILLAGE - MORNING

               Wilson is stood there in front of the fallen black dragon,

               surrounded by guards and one cloaked man. Wilson is listening

               to him. 

                                   STRANGER 

                         It is you! 

               Wilson is taken aback. He looks shocked. 

                                   WILSON

                         Me? Dragonborn? I can't be. 

                                   STRANGER

                         Tell me, how is it that you could

                         hurt the dragon when arrows and

                         swords weren't scratching it?

                                   WILSON

                         I don't--

                                   STRANGER

                         It is because you have dragons

                         blood flowing through your veins.

                         Only a mere mortal who has such

                         blood in their bodies could produce

                         that deadly attack known as The

                         Annul. 

                             (beat)

                         It is also believed that the

                         dragonborn can absorb the soul of

                         the dragon in which he has slain.

                         Place your hand on the dragons

                         head.

               Wilson turns and faces the dragon, he places his hand on the

               head of the dragon and it sticks like glue. The skies go

               dark, lightening begins to happen and Wilson begins to shake

               on the spot. 

               His hand is released. He falls to the floor. 

                                   STRANGER (CONT'D)

                         Just as i thought. Heed my words,

                         absorbing dragon souls is good and

                         it will make you more powerful.

                         However, absorbing too many and it

                         will have severe consequences. 

                             (beat)

                         Now you must travel west, through

                         the plains of Summernight and into

                         the mountains. There you will come

                         to Mount Death. Scale it and you

                         will find what you are searching

                         for. 

               Stranger steps back and claps his hands over his head. There

               is a loud bang and smoke appears around him. As it blows away

               from the wind, Stranger is gone. Everybody is taken aback.

                                   WILSON

                         I can't believe it..

                                   GUARD 1

                         Believe it or not, sir. Our fate

                         lies with you.

                             (whistles to horse)

                         Take my horse and travel to Mount

                         Death. Your destiny is solid, it is

                         there for you to take. 

               Wilson hops onto the horse, placing his bow on his back. The

               horse then gallops off out of the village gates and into the

               forest. 

                                                                CUT TO:

               EXT. SUMMERNIGHT - LATER

               Wilson is galloping through the plains, his eyes are fixed on

               the mountains in the distance. Noises from behind him catch

               his attention. He looks around... eyes widening as he stares

               at the thing which is after him. 

               A BLACK PANTHER. 

               He draws his bow, shooting at it... he misses. He shoots

               again, misses. The panther jumps, claws in front of it-

               latching onto the horses back legs, causing it to fall over.

               Wilson falls into the snow, he places the bow on his back and

               sprints through the plains of Summernight. A small little hut

               can be seen, Wilson approaches it... kicking through the door

               but there is no floor. He falls down it. 

               The Panther runs into it too and falls down the floor. 

               INT. TUNNELS - CONTINUOUS

               Wilson hits the floor and then draws his bow. He shoots an

               arrow straight through the head of the black panther, killing

               it. 

               He sits there for a moment catching his breath. 

                                   MAN (O.S.)

                         You have got to be careful when

                         going through the plains of

                         Summernight...

               Wilson turns around, face to face with a man wearing war

               paint, dressed in dark black clothing. 

                                   MAN (CONT'D)

                         You can come across your worst

                         nightmare. To many people,

                         Summernight is known as the valley

                         of the death. To me, i call it

                         hell. 

               The man grabs Wilson and lifts him up, pinning him against

               the wall as more men come behind him. 

                                   MAN (CONT'D)

                         And I am the devil. 

               They bound is hands behind his back, dragging him off into

               the tunnels. 

                                                                CUT TO:

               INT. TOP OF MOUNT DEATH - CONTINUOUS

               There is a large black building, standing tall. Large black

               doors are at the front of it and they begin to open up. Two

               men walk out of it, wearing nothing but pants. They are

               carrying staffs. These are the Guild masters.

               As they walk further out, they meet a man standing there. He

               has a long grey beard and he is old. This is the Grandmaster.

                                   GUILD MASTER 1

                         You called, master. What is it?

                                   GRANDMASTER

                         It appears that the Dragonborn has

                         surfaced. It also appears he is in

                         danger. 

                                   GUILD MASTER 1

                         Dragonborn? This must mean that--

                                   GRANDMASTER

                         Yes, dragons are returning to

                         Remnant. 

                                   GUILD MASTER 1

                         But if he is in danger, we must

                         help him! For he is our only chance

                         at peace and freedom! 

                                   GRANDMASTER

                         Yes, we must save him. 

                                                                CUT TO:

               Complete blackness. The sound of wings flapping. Then the

               sound of thudding.

               The blackness turns to dragon scales. We zoom out to reveal

               another dragon. This time BIGGER, SCARIER.

               This is REAPER.

               It roars and then its wings begin to flap, it flies away into

               the sky. 

                                                                CUT TO:

               INT. TUNNELS - CONTINUOUS

               Wilson is being dragged along the tunnels still. Ten men are

               behind him, carrying swords and shields.

               They enter a large room, equipped with the most advanced

               swords and shields and bows that there is. 

                                   WILSON

                             (weak)

                         Where am... where am i?

                                   MAN

                         You're down in the pits of hell,

                         this is where you'll burn. This is

                         where Reaper will get you. 

                                   WILSON

                         Reaper?

                                   MAN

                         You don't think the dragons are

                         returning themselves, do you? We

                         are the necromancers. We will bring

                         destruction to Remnant, we will

                         watch it burn.

                             (beat)

                         Our master will be here shortly. He

                         will decide the fate of the last

                         remaining dragonborn. 

               Mumbling can be heard coming from above them. The floor

               begins to shake, swords fall to the ground. Everybody looks

               around, confused. 

               BANG! The roof caves in. A load of men, dressed in nothing

               but pants can be seen. GUILD MASTERS.

               They aim their staffs, firing magic out of the end,

               destroying all of the necromancers. They help Wilson stand to

               his feet. 

                                   WILSON

                         Who are you? 

                                   GUILD MASTER 1

                         We are the Guild Masters. Under

                         orders from our Grandmaster we have

                         came here to rescue you,

                         Dragonborn. 

               Then somebody else lowers through the hole in the roof.

                                   GRANDMASTER (O.S.)

                         Are you ready to take on your

                         destiny? This is where it will

                         begin. 

                                   WILSON

                         Where does my destiny take me?

                                   GRANDMASTER

                         Only we can show you the road, we

                         can not show you the destination

                         for only you can walk the path of

                         Dragonborn. So tell me, are you

                         ready? 

                                   WILSON

                         Yes...

                                                         FADE TO BLACK:

                                   WILSON (V.O.)

                         I am ready. 

                                                              FADE OUT.
