Chapter 1 - SCENE 1

SUPER OVER IMAGE:

PLANET GEORUCHSIA, 97 U.A.R. (UNDER ABBELIX'S REIGN)

EXT. ASHEN DUNES, GEORUCHSIA – NIGHT

A desert of flaxen ash and rolling dunes beneath a nebular sky. The sand emits a dim, golden fluorescence.

Sparse vegetation rises from the dunes: towering CRIBARIARUM-LIKE GROWTHS, slime-mold structures scaled to cathedral height, their trunks veiny and porous.

Across the dunes charges PHIRA'AG, a hellhound the size of a horse; his orange-red hide flows like magma. Riding him is THRUKNA, an albino orc shamaness. Her dreadlocks are bound in runic rings. Tribal tattoos emphasize the menace of her muscular frame. Fury simmers beneath her hardened visage.

Phira'ag's paws kick up ash like smoke.

Thrukna's eyes, pitch black with red irises, fix on something ahead.

CUT TO:

EXT. DEMON STATUE – CONTINUOUS

A colossal statue looms over the dunes: a KINGLY DEMON, handsome but threatening, both hands gripping the hilt of a grotesque greatsword, its blade planted deep into the base.

THRUKNA

(in Orcish) Halt, boy

Phira'ag slows to a stop.

Thrukna stares up at the effigy's face, disgust twisting her Amazonian features into a beastly snarl.

_

THRUKNA

(in English) Destroy it.

_

Phira'ag inhales, his throat glowing.

He spits a FIREBALL, SWAMPING the statue's head in a roaring inferno.

Stone EXPLODES.

Thrukna watches the fragments fall, then turns Phira'ag onward.

They ride on, leaving the headless idol burning behind them.
