Scene 1: Dawn Over a Peaceful Kingdom

Time: Early morning, the first light of sunrise.
Location: The royal palace courtyard overlooking emerald fields.

• Setting Details:

  • Tall stone battlements, draped with banners bearing the kingdom’s crest, lightly fluttering in a cool breeze.

  • Soldiers practice spear-throwing and sword drills in the courtyard below.

  • Torches still burn faintly along the stone walkways.

     

  • Camera: A wide shot captures Jack (Nicholas Hoult) standing on a marble balcony, the wind ruffling his worn leather armor.

• Characters:

  • Jack: Now slightly grayer at the temples, clad in an intricately tooled leather cuirass etched with symbols of his past triumphs. His eyes hold quiet determination.

  • King Alden (Jan Du): Approaches Jack, wearing a regal blue cloak clasped by a golden crest. His face is lined with worry despite his royal bearing.

  • Captain Rami: Stands guard nearby, spear in hand, scanning the distant hills.

• Action & Dialogue:

  1. Jack gazes out over the fields, voice low:

     Jack (quietly): “Years of peace… yet every dawn reminds me of the battle we barely survived.”

  2. King Alden places a reassuring hand on Jack’s shoulder:

     King Alden:
     “You saved us once, Jack. Now darkness gathers again beyond the western passes.”

  3. Rami (whispering):

     “Scouts bring word… giants are rallying in the Frozen Expanse. They march beneath our walls.”

  4. Jack closes his eyes, fingers tracing a locket around his neck—his young son’s portrait, lost in the first war. He exhales steadily:

     Jack (determined):
     “If my blade still has purpose, it’s time to sharpen it once more.”

• End of Scene: The camera pulls back from the palace balcony to reveal a distant black thundercloud rising over the mountains, swallowing the morning light.
