00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.780
The valley of Iron Peak had been a

00:00:01.780 --> 00:00:03.140
graveyard for three days.

00:00:03.660 --> 00:00:06.219
Below. the vanguard of the rebel army clashed

00:00:06.219 --> 00:00:09.039
with the emperor's ironclad legions. a tangled

00:00:09.039 --> 00:00:11.759
mass of steel and blood obscured by rising

00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:14.179
dust and the miserable weep of a storm.

00:00:14.919 --> 00:00:17.719
Lightning tore through the bruised. dramatic bellies of

00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:19.539
the clouds. but the thunder it

00:00:19.539 --> 00:00:21.679
brought was nothing compared to the sound that

00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:22.699
shook the earth next.

00:00:23.620 --> 00:00:26.399
Valen. huddled behind a jagged outcropping of dark

00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:28.600
stone. felt the heat before he heard

00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:29.059
the roar.

00:00:29.059 --> 00:00:32.460
With a deafening crack of displaced air. ignees

00:00:32.460 --> 00:00:34.259
burst from the swirling tempests above.

00:00:34.859 --> 00:00:37.020
The great beast was a masterpiece of lethal

00:00:37.020 --> 00:00:39.939
grace. its massive wings spread wide to catch

00:00:39.939 --> 00:00:42.560
the gale. catching the amber light of glowing

00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:44.700
embers that drifted like dying stars from

00:00:44.700 --> 00:00:45.700
its jagged crest.

00:00:46.460 --> 00:00:49.060
Every detail of its obsidian scales rippled with

00:00:49.060 --> 00:00:51.060
ancient power as it banked hard over

00:00:51.060 --> 00:00:55.100
the battlefield. its dynamic. predatory pose commanding the

00:00:55.100 --> 00:00:55.820
very sky.

00:00:56.619 --> 00:00:59.520
Below. the frantic blair of brass horns cut

00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:01.700
through the rain as the emperor's commanders

00:01:01.700 --> 00:01:02.920
realized their doom.

00:01:03.780 --> 00:01:05.640
Ignees drew in a breath that sucked the

00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:08.739
oxygen from the surrounding peaks. its chest swelling

00:01:08.739 --> 00:01:10.700
like a furnace door pulled wide.

00:01:11.500 --> 00:01:14.379
Valen pressed himself flat against the mountain. shielding

00:01:14.379 --> 00:01:16.700
his face as a torrent of blinding.

00:01:16.819 --> 00:01:19.340
white -hot fire erupted from the dragon's jaws.

00:01:20.140 --> 00:01:22.680
The flame cascaded down the mountain slope in

00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:24.859
a roaring wave. turning the battlefield

00:01:24.859 --> 00:01:26.840
into a sea of incandescent light.

00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:29.500
It was not mere destruction. it was a

00:01:29.500 --> 00:01:29.900
reckoning.

00:01:30.420 --> 00:01:33.299
When the fire finally receded. leaving behind a

00:01:33.299 --> 00:01:36.200
smoking trench of fused glass and ash. the

00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:38.379
grand army of the empire was no more.

00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:41.480
With a slow. powerful beat of its colossal

00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:44.760
wings. dragon's fire. still echoing in the

00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:47.659
thermal updrafts. the beast climbed back into the

00:01:47.659 --> 00:01:50.099
churning storm clouds. leaving the silent

00:01:50.099 --> 00:01:52.040
mountain and its new era to the wind.
