The opening scene:
It will start out with Exton being born in a confused scene in which his mother, who is an unknown person, will be yelling as an older man helps her give birth. The scene will quickly close with the old man holding the baby and the lady sleeping.
I want it to start with the mother screaming and it will only show the outside of a small cobblestone house. This will last for a few seconds and then the scene will transition to the woman's face screaming inside the house. She will be breathing heavily and then you will hear the old man's telling her to push. After a few more seconds, the baby's voice (Exton), will cry out. Immediately, the woman will cease any noise and you will see her body relax. Then it will switch to the old man. He will be a holding a small baby and he will be sloached over in a chair looking exhausted with sweat dripping all about. The music will be exhilirating but at the same time, quiet. At the last second, the man will say "Exton" and the scene will quickly go black.

Into the wide unknown:
Exton hears screaming and finds out that the Empire’s soldiers are attacking the village to scare them into surrender. He knew that they needed warriors and they were on the border of the separation of the Empire. Exton watches as the old man, who hates the empire, rebels. He gets stabbed and grief fills Exton. He runs up and kills the soldier as he did with the bear. He fleas into the surrounding trees and watches from upper land. He sees everyone either surrendering to save their land or rebel and die. Just then a hand touches his shoulder and Exton spins around to see the hooded figure. Camillo says they have to leave before something more happens. Exton, being young, attempts to ask a question but faints.
Exton will hear from inside the cobblestone house and run out. The old man will tell him to get back and run. Exton why plead and try to get him to surrender. The old man will explain to the soldier that he loves his land. He won't leave it and the people in it. He is sick of being oppressed and then the fighting will commence. The soldier will stab the old man before Exton gets to him but Exton will scream and kill the soldier as he did the bear. Then he will pick up the old man's head and the old man will tell him to leave and get away. He tells him to never give in to the evils of the Empire. He will then die and Exton will see soldiers approaching and Exton will run up into the woods and hide. He will have thoughts about what happened and begin to weigh out what to do but Camillo will arrive halfway through and touch him on the shoulder. Exton, recognizes him and tries to question him but faints. The screen will go black for a bit.

All is lost/Aha moment:
The three dragons fight with the riders on back. Exton will use a bone armor he can make and his bone weapons. They will thrash and eventually the fight will go to the ground. Before fighting, Kenji will explain how he was able to replicate cells in a piece of dragon bone left over from the war (because that is his power. He can replicate his own cells to stop disease, heal) to create a dragon. They then fight and Celphi gets injured. So Exton and Kenji merge and fight like no other. Then as they separate, their dragons come down and they take flight again. As they are in the air, something happens and Exton’s dragon flows over Kenji’s. Exton jumps off and pierces the dragon in the skull causing it to plummet. Exton creates a bone shield as he flies towards the ground. He hits and survives only to see Kenji still alive and his body morphing after the long fall as it heals. They will discuss ethics and morals and then fight again. Kenji will knock Exton down but he will shoot a bone out of his chest that sends Kenji through the air. It wasn’t enough to kill him though so he heals. Then when Exton tire out and can’t do anything more and he is on his knees, Celphi is rushed in as she hangs from Exton’s dragon’s feet and as she flies by, she decapitates Kenji. Exton sees Celphi tumble to the ground and he rushes to her side. He cradles her and she kisses him softly on the lips. His healing powers surge though Celphi so that she doesn’t die from the stunt she made. They talk with a little ra ra we did it.
When discussing morals and ethics, Kenji speaks with prominance. He explains his twisted view of everything. How keeping the world under oppression is the only way to keep it safe. He tries to support his ideas and say how it's better to kill off the prodigies or to keep them all under control. Exton will see his idea but find it absurd.
