[scene begins with Nia being led by an older NightWing across a large field. A giant mountain stands in the distance, overlooking the valley ahead. Finally, the two NightWing stops in the middle of the field. A giant boulder with an unknown relic stands in the distance]
[SCREEN TITLE: 4995 AS]
[the older NightWing is revealed to be Vust. She brings Nia over to the boulder, showing her the glowing relic. It's revealed to be a rough, crystal sphere hovering above the boulder]
VUST: The stone has sat with our home for generations. [turns to Nia] A treasured relic that oversees everything we do. It gives us, protects us, and empowers us.
NIA: Whoa...
[the relic is rotating as it hovers, firing out strands of light in a random direction. Vust and Nia advance toward the boulder, staring at the stone floating above. The light emitting from the stone is reflecting off of Nia's eyes, which are wide open in awe]
NIA: What do you mean by "empower"?
VUST: Many, many years ago, before you hatched, [chuckles] this relic was given to us by a mysterious wizard. [mimic spooky voice] Wooo.
NIA: There are wizards?
VUST: That's what they told me. No one has an exact story. It crashed in the middle of our home one day, no one knew where or why. We just knew that this stone contains a secret.
NIA: What secret?
VUST: A life-changing one.
NIA: Huh...
VUST: A few of us held the relic, including me, and all of us had a vision. The same one. It was only after I had felt the stone that I got this. [points to the teardrop scale near her right eye]
NIA: [excitedly] So you can see the future?
VUST: That's right.
NIA: S-so... what's the secret? What was the vision that you saw?
VUST: [looks away and thinks for a moment] A chance for us. We saw how everything would end.
[scene cuts to Nia being chained against a pole. She struggles as she flails around, looking around the small, circular room. She sees a bit of sunlight peeking through the holes in the roof]
[Nia tugs onto her chain, trying to pull her talons off of them. She grunts in annoyance, eventually giving up and leaning back against the pole. The door to the room pushes open, and a flash of outside light bursts into the room, blinding Nia]
[Nia turns away, blinking multiple times as she adjusts her eyes to the brightness outside. She sees a silhouette of a SeaWing standing at the door, who begins to approach her. He is wearing a mask over his face, slowing to a stop in front of Nia]
[the SeaWing reveals himself with a symbol painted over his snout. Nia keeps her gaze on him as he walks across the room, dragging a small stool in front of her and sitting down]
