Undying Love



Setting: Tribal
Season: Drought

(0:00 ~ 0:57)
The scene starts with the dried up land.

Chief: We can't survive if the drought keeps up.
Shaman: Ever since we lost our sacred relic, the ritual has become ineffective. We might have to resort to the old ways of sacrificing a virgin to appease the Gods.
Chief: (sigh) My daughter will be the one then.
Boy: No. You can't sacrifice her.
Chief: We have enough water for 3 more days. If you can't bring the relic back then there is nothing more I can do.
Boy: I will do it. I will be back with the relic.

(0:57 ~ 1:47)
Boy sets out to find the relic. He climbed over mountain, swim across river and traversed the jungle. Finally he found the cave where the relic is. Avoiding the traps and defeating the beast that stood guard, he approached the final chamber. He carefully approach the pedestal with the relic. As he held the relic in his hands, he can feel the power surging into him.

(1:47 ~ 2:55)
Boy ran back as fast as he could, traversing the jungle, swimming across the river and climbing over the mountain. As he enters the village, he saw the crowd slowly dispersing. He made his way to the alter. He can see the chief crying and a solemn look on the shaman's face. As he saw Girl's body lying on the floor, he dropped the relic. The relic shattered into pieces. He walked towards her lifeless body and hugged her in his arms. He looked towards the sky and cried out. As a tear falls down his cheek so did the rain.
