our Scriptwriting final first draft. I figured it'd make my treatment about the first "episode" of the "next exiciting episode of-" the Bonds trilogy. We could either do the final script, which is based off the treatment, by ourselves or as a group. considering we would have to write 20-25 pages either way i opted for a group thing and they chose mine. after a couple afternoons and much chocolate we finally got a rough draft done.
Sorry ahead of time for how the characters have been somewhat warped compred to the old versions, I tried not to godmode the story.

EXT. PINE FOREST: DAY
Fade in on shot of pine forest above the trees. Pan down to
see TARLYN running from CHIMERA on forest floor.
Tarlyn is a seventeen year old dark clan male, elf, black
skin, red eyes, lean build, reckless and rash.
Chimera, body of bear, head of lion, frilled lizard frill
and tail.

TARLYN
Santi! Santi! Where are you! Where
the heck are you?
SANTI O/S
What? I can’t leave you alone for
five minutes?
TARLYN
It was for than five minutes! Just
get the heck over here!

Tarlyn starts to climb a tree and the chimera follows. The
tree sags with its weight. Tarlyn jumps off and continues
running. Chimera roars in frustration and follows.
CUT OUT

EXT. DIFFERENT PART OF PINE FOREST: DAY
Establishing shot at eye level of BOAR. We see AMBER
stalking and prepping to shoot it with an arrow.

CHIMERA O/S
ROAAAAAAARRRRRR!!!

Boar is startled and flees. Amber straightens up from
crouch. Close up on Amber.
Amber is a twenty-one-year-old female fire clan elf,
greyish-tan skin, dark blue eyes, reserved, prepared.
AMBER

What’s a chimera doing in this part
of the forest?
TARLYN O/S
(unintelligible string of
curse words)

FIREN swoops in from the sky for a landing. He is a red
dragon with orange belly scales that look like flames,
yellow eyes.

FIREN
There’s your answer.

Firen lands, and Amber climbs into the saddle, and they run
off towards the commotion. Camera follows.
CUT OUT

EXT. PINE FOREST: DAY
Tarlyn runs into a clearing a sees the base of a cliff; gets
trapped. Turns with his back to the wall and draws his
weapons; two short swords. He fumbles one and it falls to
the ground, the other he holds up shakily.
As the chimera lunges forward Firen drops from above and
smacks it across the face, sending it flying int o a tree.
Amber hops off bow and arrow ready. Chimera lands on its
feet, shakes off the blows and jerks forward.
Amber shoots it in the eye, distracting it enough for Firen
to lunge forward and chomp down on its neck, snapping it and
killing the chimera.

AMBER
What in the hell do you think you
were--
Amber turns around and sees his skin tone indicating that he
is from the enemy dark clan. They both pause to assess each
other.
Amber keeps her weapons ready and Tarlyn takes his remaining
short sword and goes into a steadier defensive stance. Firen
comes up behind Amber. Amber circles a couple of steps,
Tarlyn follows her with his sword.

TARLYN
You shouldn’t be here.
AMBER
Your people are the ones who
shouldn’t be here, boy.

Santi swoops in, tucking in wings before cliff top to land
heavily in front of Tarlyn.
Santi is a small thin black dragon with white trim markings.
Santi quietly snarls in defense as Tarlyn grabs his dropped
sword and scrambles into the saddle. Firen hunches over
Amber in protection and Santi runs off.

AMBER
Do think they are going to tell?
FIREN
Better make sure.
CUT OUT

INT. PYRHO’S ROOM DAY
Square bedroom made of stone, big rugs, solid wooden desk
and table, low military bed and big open window with gothic
arches.
PYRHOS is a 41-year-old dark clan male, elf, dark skin,
orange eyes. Very muscular and well built, many white battle
scars visible on hands, face and neck. Calm and dedicated to
military life.
MAELA enters. Twenty-one-year-old dark clan female. Elf,
dark skin, red eyes, wiry, long limbs, wings, tail. Just as
much creature as humanoid.

MAELA
Well, your complexion is looking
darker today, much better then your
Fire Clan tan. The potion has taken
effect nicely.

Pyhros just glowers at her, not responding to the comment.
She smile sweetly then dons an air of command.

MAELA
Pyhros, there’s been another attack
near the city. Why has this not
been dealt with?
PYHROS
Please understand, Maela, that we
are doing our best.
MAELA
Well maybe you’re not trying hard
enough. I know you’ve heard the
reports about your daughter.
PYHROS
This has nothing to do with Amber.
MAELA
You’re not concerned? She is alone
within our lines- enemy territory
for her. Need I remind you that we
torture our captives?
PYHROS
Her well being isn’t my concern.
MAELA
Well, I’m glad you’re thinking like
a Dark Clan too.

Before he can bite back a reply there is a commotion outside
in the streets below. Pyhros and Maela’s dragons, SARATHEEN
and ATHVESA, respectively, fly up to the window.
Saratheen is a black dragon with orange eyes and red claws.
ATHVESA is a water dragon, light blue with spikes that look
like ice.

ATHVESA
Maela, there’s been an incident and
your presence is required.
MAELA
(exasperated sigh)
Very well. Phyros, you shall
accompany me.
PHYROS
By your command.
FADE OUT

EXT. PINE FOREST: DAY
Establishing shot of an area of the the forest where the
trees thin out and become grassland. Tarlyn and Santi enter.

TARLYN
Do you think they followed?
SANTI
What do you think? I’m not the one
who keeps looking back every few
seconds.
TARLYN
I think they’re gone.
SANTI
Well there you go. You know we’re
lucky to get out alive. Usually
it’s torch first, ask questions
later with the Fire Clan.
TARLYN
I know that. Strange that she
didn’t though. Think we should tell
anyone?
SANTI
Duh. How ’bout the military?

As they near the city, they hear unusual, indistinct sounds
and plumes of smoke rising from the buildings. Frantic
dragons circle above the town. Tarlyn stalls when he sees
flames burst from one of the closer buildings. Panicked, he
runs towards the town, ready to do what his can to protect
his city.

TARLYN
I guess things haven’t changed.
SANTI
(nods, silently acknowledging
him)

Camera follows them down the hill and into the city.
CUT OUT

EXT. CITY STREETS
Cut in to the streets, people are panicking, trying to
defend themselves and are being cut down by the enemy.
The enemies are lesser dark clan members, dark skinned,
dressed as civilians. They don’t behave the same as regular
dark clan members. Their fighting style is different. The
enemies are mounted on dragons while the civilians are
caught off guard and scrambling to find their dragon
companions.
Chickens and other stray animals are running amok and
buildings are burning.

TARLYN
What’s going on? These aren’t
soldiers, they’re just regular
people. Why are they attacking?
SANTI
Something’s not right. Look at the
way they fight.
TARLYN
It’s different.

They are attacked before they can say anything more. A
farmer attacks Tarlyn with a pitchfork and he blocks with
his sword. As the pitchfork strikes his blade, a mirage
dissipates for a second, revealing that the weapon is in
fact a blade. Tarlyn barely manages to fend off the attacker
and is only saved by Santi stepping away from the path of
the blade. Santi uses his tail to knock the enemy rider off
his dragon, then strikes the rider across the belly and
leaves the enemy to slowly die in a bloody pool of blood.

SANTI
Maybe we should have thought this
through.

Several more enemies round the corner and rush in their
direction.

TARLYN
It’s too late to back out now.

Tarlyn braces himself for battle and parries the blows of
the new enemies. He and Santi get pushed back towards a
wall. Santi dives in and bites an enemy dragon on the neck.
Another enemy strikes him with a sword and he pulls back.
The cut leaves a trickle of blood dripping down his neck.

TARLYN
Are you okay?
SANTI
I will be if we live through this.

They dodge a few more blows and Santi’s haunch hits the
wall. He spreads his wings in an attempt to fly but the
enemies crowd around leaving him no room to flap his wings.
Suddenly an enemy is struck down from behind and the girl
from the forest and her dragon fight their way through the
pack of enemies.

TARLYN
You again!? What are you doing
here?
AMBER
Come off it. You know I’m saving
your ass.
FIREN
Enough, there’s no time for this
banter.

Tarlyn and Amber fight off the remainder of the group of
enemies together.
Among the jostled crowd, Tarlyn sees the face of his
girlfriend, SILVEY.
Silvey is a dark clan female; elf. Black skin, red eyes.
Small build. Hair up in elaborate braids.
Tarlyn starts towards Silvey but is blocked by another group
of enemies. Tarlyn and Amber continue to fight for a short
while longer, then the enemy begins to retreat into
alleyways and the outskirts. Soon they have disappeared
completely. The panicked crowds shuffle and Tarlyn can no
longer see Silvey.

TARLYN
Silvey? Silvey! I’m over here!
Santi, did you see where she went?
SANTI
I didn’t see her at all.
TARLYN
I gotta make sure she’s okay!

Still riding on Santi, Tarlyn continues to look for Silvey
as the crowd quickly dissipates.

TARLYN
I can’t see her anywhere. Let’s
check her house.

Tarlyn heads to Silvey’s house. Meanwhile, Amber is
attempting to escape the city as the enemies retreat. Guards
are forming blockades and the streets are too narrow for
Firen to take off. Amber realizes people are beginning to
notice her different coloured fire clan dragon.

FIREN
We can’t go back the way we came.
AMBER
damn it.

Amber turns around to see Tarlyn heading down a clear route.
Seeing no other options, she decides to follow him.

AMBER
We may as well follow that kid.
FIREN
Anything that gets us off the
street.
FADE OUT

EXT. CITY STREETS; DAY
Maela and Pyhros enter the street. They’re armed and ready
to take on any new enemies. They scan the chaotic streets
scanning for enemies. In the flurry of panicked civilians
reuniting with their landing black dragons Pyhros sees Firen
the giant red dragon.

CLOSE UP: AMBER ON SANTI CHECKS OVER HER SHOULDER BEFOREDISAPPEARING INTO AN ALLEY

Pyhros stares off in that direction for a moment before
turning around to see Maela with a mischievous smile.

MAELA
Speak of the devil. *pauses and
thinks for a moment* You know what?
Why don’t you capture her? She’ll
make an excellent convert.
PHYROS
*remains silent*
MAELA
Or I could just have you kill her
if that’s what you prefer.

Pyhros stares at Maela in dismayed shock, then turns back in
the direction he saw Amber.

MAELA
Have fun.
SWIPE OUT

INT. TARLYN’S GIRLFRIEND’S HOUSE; DAY
Tarlyn barges through the door into SILVEY’S HOUSE. The room
has wooden beams and is made of plaster. It’s a woman’s room
but not frilly. The room is disheveled, as if there’s been a
fight.

Tarlyn looks around frantically.
TARLYN
She’s not here! Something’s
happened.
SANTI O/S
What’s happening?
TARLYN
She’s been kidnapped!

Amber walks into the room looking both ways to check that no
one’s seen her before closing the door.

AMBER V.O.
(Mentally to Firen) This will
keep us out of sight for the
time being, but we’re trapped
in the middle of an enemy
city. They’ll kill on sight
after an attack like this.
FIREN O/S
Best not to be seen then.
Amber thinks on this a moment. Tarlyn is packing a bag in
the background.
AMBER
Boy, do you know illusion magic?
TARLYN
What?
AMBER
Illusion magic. Do you know it?
TARLYN
No. I barely know sword fighting
let alone complex magical stuff.
AMBER
Calm down. I need to disguise
myself to escape here alive.

Tarlyn pauses from packing a beat.

TARLYN
Why are you even here? Did you
follow me?
AMBER
Yes. I need someplace to hide. In
case you haven’t noticed I’m Fire
Clan in a Dark Clan controlled
city.
TARLYN
Believe me, I noticed. *stares at
her suspiciously* But you don’t act
like Fire Clan.
AMBER
*offended* Oh? How are Fire Clan
supposed to act then?
TARLYN
I don’t know. Evil and stuff,
burning everything.
AMBER
Not every Fire Clan member is like
that.
TARLYN
But some are?
AMBER
Look, I need your help to get out
of here.
TARLYN
I’m not helping you, how do I know
you’re not one of them?
AMBER
I saved your life. Twice.
TARLYN
Well there’s that. But I need to
find Silvey, she’s been kidnapped
by those bad guys.
AMBER
But weren’t they Dark Clan?
TARLYN
No, definitely not.
AMBER
Then who were they? They used
illusion magic so they can only be
Dark or Light clan, and they rode
on black dragons, you don’t just
rent black dragons. And they didn’t
look painted. Not to mention the
Light Clans been gone for decades.
TARLYN
You said yourself they used
illusion magic, there’s no knowing
what they actually looked like, but
they can’t hide their eyes with
magic. Their eyes were pale.
AMBER
So, that means... maybe Light Clan
then?
TARLYN
You mean that people who don’t
exist anymore attacked us? That’s
just wonderful.
AMBER
It would certainly make finding
them harder, not to mention if they
do still exist they’re using
illusions to keep themselves
hidden. You’d have to find someone
or something to dispel the magic...
TARLYN
I know what I need to do then.
AMBER
On your own? No offense but you’ll
never find them on your own. Get me
out of this city and I’ll help you.
TARLYN
I don’t trust you, Fire Clan.
AMBER
Go and die then.

INT. DRAGON STABLE AREA; DAY
FIREN V.O.
(To Amber)
It would be best not to antagonize
our only hope of aid.

The STABLE is a large wooden room. The floor is sand and
there is a large woolen blanket on the floor in a clump that
has seen better days. There’s a window into the house so the
dragon can see in and a water fountain in one corner.
Santi is sitting on his blanket and is staring at Firen like
a watch dog. Firen is sitting casually in the opposite
corner and looks cramped in the small dragon’s stable.

FIREN
Your companion will get himself
killed on his own. It would be in
your best interest to let us help
you.
SANTI
Or we could turn you in.
FIREN
Then you’d still go off and die
looking for the Light Clan. You
need someone to help you, and no
one else will believe you.
SANTI
Just tell me one thing.
Firen nods.
SANTI
Why didn’t you attack us back then.
FIREN
*pauses* You didn’t look like the
bad guys.

INT. TARLYN’S GIRLFRIEND’S HOUSE; DAY
Amber is standing in a corner with her arms crossed and one
hand on her chin and biting her lip. In deep thought. Tarlyn
is packing pots and pans and relatively useless items, he
clearly doesn’t have any survival training.

SANTI O/S
(To Tarlyn)
They’re right, you know. We’ll need
their help.
TARLYN V.O.
(To Santi)
Why are you on their side now?
SANTI O/S
(To Tarlyn)
Let me guess you’re packing the
pots and pans and next you’re going
for the rolling pin.

Tarlyn looks at the rolling pin in his hand and puts it down
with a sigh.

TARLYN
(to Amber) Ok, fine. What are
we going to do?)
AMBER
We?
TARLYN
Yes. We. First, I’ll get you out of
the city, then you help me find the
light clan and my girlfriend.
AMBER
Well first, you pack like a granny,
boy.

Amber dumps his bag upside and a torrent of junk comes out.
TARLYN

It’s Tarlyn.
AMBER
What?
TARLYN
My name is Tarlyn.
Tarlyn offers her his hand.
AMBER
Oh. I’m Amber.
She takes his hand and shakes it.
FADE OUT

EXT. CITY STREETS; NIGHT
The gang is heading down the STREETS. Tarlyn is leading
Santi who pulls a cart with great effort. Amber is on the
cart wrapped up in robes and a scarf covering all but her
eyes. Firen is on the cart covered in a blanket. His tail is
poking out at the back.

FIREN
Are we almost there?
TARLYN
Almost. hold on for a few more
minutes.
Santi purposely rolls the cart over a rock.
FIREN
Ouch
Santi snickers.
TARLYN
It’s just around the corner.
AMBER
Shhh. Quiet.

A GUARD appears around the corner. He instantly notices them
and categorizes them as suspicious.

GUARD
Evening.
TARLYN
Evening.
GUARD
What are you doing at this hour.
TARLYN
Helping my grandma move this pile
of dirt.
AMBER
(pretending to be a grandma)
*cough* He’s such a helpful boy.

Tarlyn smiles at the guard.

GUARD
Alright, carry on.

The guard raises his eyebrow and shakes his head and let’s
them pass. He walks off but turns around after they pass and
sees the red tail sticking out from under the blanket. He
widens his eyes and runs off to report the sighting.

INT. PYRHO’S ROOM; NIGHT
Pyhros is working at his desk. Maela walks in without
knocking.

MAELA
Working hard I see. If it was me, I
would have caught her by now.
Pyhros looks up from his paperwork.
PYHROS
The city is locked down, there’s no
way she’s leaving. It’s just a
matter of time.

Maela scowls.

MAELA
Well hurry it up, I still need to
find out whoever it was that
attacked us.
There’s a knock at the door.
PYHROS
Com--
MAELA
Come in.

A guard enters.

GUARD
Evening sirs, There’s been a
sighting of a fire clan dragon near
the outskirts of the city.
MAELA
Ooo, there’s your cue.

Pyhros stands and heads to the door.

EXT. BLACKSMITH’S SHOP; NIGHT
They are OUTSIDE A BLACKSMITH’S SHOP. There is a huge set of
billows, made for a dragon to use. And a large pile wood.
Everything is fireproofed really well, like unnecessary
amounts due to the dark clan’s fear of fire. A large rain
barrel is beside the building with pipes and pumps leading
off in all directions.

TARLYN
Alright, we can ditch the cart from
here on out.

Amber removes the scarf and robes.

AMBER
Why are we here?
TARLYN
The loading area leads outside the
city walls. It’s back this way.

Tarlyn fumbles with some keys and eventually gets the key in
the lock and turns it.

TARLYN
uh, oh.
AMBER
What?
TARLYN
It’s already unlocked.
AMBER
Great.
TARLYN
That means there’s someone already
in there.
AMBER
A guard?
TARLYN
Or worse. My boss. Let me go in
first.
Amber stops him.
AMBER
Let me sneak in and knock him out.
TARLYN
You don’t know my boss. He’s a
monster.
AMBER
I’ve seen real monsters.
TARLYN
He doesn’t like... you’re people.
Like, REALLY racist.
AMBER
Well the whole idea is to NOT be
seen.
TARLYN
Well then. *salutes* Good luck.

Tarlyn opens the gate and gestures for her to enter. Amber
goes through in crouch mode.

EXT. SUPPLY YARD; NIGHT
The SUPPLY YARD is a large yard area surrounded by stone
walls. There’s a large pile of wood in one corner and
valuable ores locked in sheds. All the flammable stuff is
well protected. One wall is shared with the city wall and
there’s an exit to the outside world.
Amber hides behind the pile of wood and checks out the
situation. There’s a GUARD and a BLACKSMITH taking near the
exit.
The blacksmith is a dark clan, dark skinned, red eyed,
stout, muscular elf. He’s older, past middle age old and
marked by many years of hard labor.

BLACKSMITH
I paid top dollar for a protection
spell, no one can get in here
without the key. There’s no need
for you to be here.
GUARD
We’re on lock down, every exit
needs to be guarded. I’m sorry, no
exceptions.

Amber snickers to herself.

AMBER V.O.
(To Firen)
There’s two of them, a blacksmith
and a guard. No sign of their
dragons though.

EXT. BLACKSMITH’S SHOP; NIGHT

FIREN
There’s a blacksmith and a guard in
there. She can’t take them both out
at once. She needs a distraction.
TARLYN
*nods* Right.
Tarlyn walks through the gate.

EXT. SUPPLY YARD; NIGHT
Tarlyn walks in.

AMBER
(whispers to self)
What is he doing?

The guard notices Tarlyn first.

GUARD
Who goes there?

The blacksmith turns and recognizes Tarlyn.

BLACKSMITH
What are you doing here, boy?
TARLYN
Uuuuuuuuummm....

Amber silently rushes forward and hits the guard on the back
of the head with her dagger hilt. He collapses. The
blacksmith hears the guard falling and turns. He sees the
fire clan girl and gets snarls.

BLACKSMITH
You!

Amber stabs at the guard with her dagger but the blacksmith
dodges and grabs her by the arm and twists it. Amber drops
the dagger.

BLACKSMITH
When I’m done with you, fire rat
you’ll be glad to be a pile of
ash--

Tarlyn hits him on the the back of the head with a scrap
piece of metal. The blacksmith goes down. Tarlyn shakes with
the piece of metal still in his hands.

TARLYN
I can’t believe I just did that.
AMBER
Congrats, kid.

The blacksmith grunts and starts to stand back up. Tarlyn is
surprised yells and hits the blacksmith over the head again
sending him down again.

TARLYN
I can’t believe I did that again.
AMBER
I think we should get out of here
fast.
TARLYN
I’ll get the door.

Tarlyn unlocks the door and Amber brings the dragons into
the supply yard. They go through the exit and are mounting
their dragons when the GUARD’S DRAGON lands in front of
them.
The guard’s dragon is black and wearing armor that matches
the guard.

TARLYN
Oh, crap.

The dragon sees the fire dragon and roars loudly. There’s a
moment of silence and then other dragons roar throughout the
city.

TARLYN
They’ve set off the alarm.
AMBER
No time for niceties then. Firen,
you know what to do.

Firen takes a big gulp of air and blasts fire at the dragon.
The dragon shies off to the side clearing their take off
zone.Santi and Tarlyn are also shocked and stand in stunned fear
for a moment at the sight of the fire.
Amber and Firen take off.

AMBER
Come on, hurry. That won’t distract
him long.
TARLYN
I’m right behind you.

Tarlyn and Santi launch into the air and follows after Amber
at top speed.

EXT. SUPPLY YARD; NIGHT
Establishing shot of gate exit from the outside. About ten
minutes later Pyhros flies in on Saratheen from the side,
dismounts and marches to the gate.

PYHROS
Are you okay? What’s happened here?
GUARD
*groans* There was a kid...and then
I was hit on the head.
PYHROS
Was it a fire clan girl?
GUARD
No, dark clan boy.

Pyhros frowns. The guard rubs his forehead and thinks for a
second.

GUARD
My dragon saw that though. *pauses
and listens for a sec* She had a
red dragon and they blasted fire at
him.
PYHROS
Did he see where they went?
GUARD
*pauses* To the south.

PYHROS gives a meaningful look out the
door to the grass that is still
aflame.

SARATHEEN O/S
It hasn’t been long, we can still
catch them.
PYHROS
But do we want to?
SARATHEEN O/S
We have our orders.
PYHROS
Orders aren’t everything
SARATHEEN O/S
But your life is and you’ll lose
both yours and hers if you don’t
obey.
PYHROS
Well, might as well give them a
five minute head start.

Saratheen gives a disapproving grunt.

PYHROS
We wouldn’t want it to be too easy.

FADE OUT

Too long, DID read, LOVED IT!

[Midnightmoon]

Great! Curiously, what was your impression of it? Like, the characters and the world. My friends (while we were writing it) didn't like how we had to take into acount for the dragons too, especially at the end there.

And that is how long a 25 min. show would be
