[scene begins with an adult NightWing rushing into a hut in the midst of a massacre ensuing outside. She is holding a young NightWing dragonet between her talons, who's revealed to be Nia. The adult NightWing looks around in panic, eventually finding a straw box sitting across the room]
[SCREEN TITLE: 2 YEARS AGO]
VUST: Okay, okay.
[Vust puts Nia into the straw box, and Nia looks at her in confusion. Vust puts her claw in front of her snout, telling Nia to be quiet. Another loud explosion is heard outside, and Vust turns around, breathing in fear. After placing Nia in the box, Vust clutches her stomach, revealing a large cut]
VUST: Damn it.
[Vust heads over to the counter, grabbing the cloth and accidentally pushing the items off. She puts the cloth over her wound, applying pressure and wincing in pain. She seethes, heading back over to Nia. Outside, another hut is destroyed by an explosion]
[Nia blinks at Vust in confusion, watching as she limps across the room painfully. Vust crouches down in front of Nia, grabbing both her tiny talons tightly, tears dropping from her eyes. The two NightWings hear dragons screaming outside as well]
VUST: Nia, Nia, listen to me. The enemies are out there. Stay in here, you'll be safe, they won't find you. [looks outside the hut] The Talons will come and find you, do not leave until they do.
NIA: Yes, mama.
VUST: [kisses Nia's talon] Stay. Do not leave. It'll be over soon, alright? Promise me you will do what I say.
NIA: [nods] I promise.
VUST: [kisses Nia on her head] I love you, Nia.
[Vust stands up, closing the box, hiding Nia in there. She grabs the box, straining as she brings it across the hut, where she hides it under the floor. Vust breathes in exhaustion, looking at her wounded stomach and putting pressure on the cloth again]
[inside the box, Nia is shuddering in fear, and she curls up into a ball. She whimpers quietly, listening to the chaos happening outside. She screams loudly as another explosion hits the village]
[Vust steps out of the room, returning to where she was. Suddenly, a SeaWing in armor enters the house, holding his spear tightly. He turns to look at Vust, who's standing there and staring at him. She slowly reaches for the knife on the counter, making sure the SeaWing doesn't notice]
[the SeaWing approaches closer to Vust, causing her to move back. He looks around the room for a moment before finally turning to look at her]
SEAWING TROOP #1: Where is the NightWing dragonet?
VUST: You're too late. [shakes her head and smirks] She was delivered a long time ago. The Talons of Peace will have her. Your queen won't win this war... Blister won't win this war.
SEAWING TROOP #1: Hiding her will only prolong the war, NightWing. You don't know who Blister is. She'll incinerate the entire continent to find the dragonet. She's won since the beginning.
VUST: So she's arrogant? Funny. The dragonet knows how to end the war. When the Talons of Peace get her... nobody will win. Not the SeaWings. Not Blister. You are wasting your time fighting a war you won't win, SeaWing.
