[Opening Scene – The Citadel of Blackglass, Midnight]
Rain slashes down the obsidian walls of Blackglass.Inside, the throne room is lit by flickering torches and soaked in shadows.Mark stands at the gate — shirt torn, chest heaving, and blade drawn.
All paths, all pain, all betrayal… have led to this.
At the far end sits Lord Varion, the man who destroyed Mark's village, slaughtered his mentor, and called it justice.
Varion (smirking): "You've come far for a broken boy with a rusted sword."
Mark steps forward.
"This sword? It's not rusted. It's soaked in revenge."
[Flashback: The Fall of Daggerfall – Years Ago]
We see young Mark running through fire. His mother screaming. His father fighting back with a dagger and falling — betrayed by Varion's army.
His mentor, Master Caldras, saving him with his final breath.
Caldras: "Don't die with rage. Win with purpose."
[Scene: The Final Duel Begins]
Mark and Varion circle each other.
⚔️ Varion strikes first — precise, powerful. Years of training.⚔️ Mark parries — not clean, but effective. He uses his speed and fury.⚔️ Swords clash like thunder. Sparks fly.
Varion fights like a lord. Mark fights like a survivor.
[Twist: The Poisoned Blade]
Varion slices Mark's arm — a faint green glow.
Varion: "Your revenge dies with your blood. That blade was coated."
Mark stumbles, vision spinning. But he looks at his hand — the dagger given by his father, hidden in his boot all this time.
He throws his sword aside.
"You poisoned my sword. But this dagger? It's part of me."
With a roar, Mark charges — dodges a killing blow — and plunges the dagger into Varion's heart.
Mark: "That's for Daggerfall."
[Ending Scene – Sunrise Over the Wreckage]
Mark walks out of the burning citadel as dawn breaks. Behind him, the fortress crumbles — the age of tyrants over.
He stares out across the hills where Daggerfall once stood.
A new voice speaks — a young boy, one of the rebels:
"What now, Mark?"
He looks down at the bloodied dagger in his hand… then at the rising sun.
"We rebuild. We train. We never forget."
