Page Transcript:

Panel 1

Description: Vange stands on her bicycle, taking in the deserted ruined streets of the Barrens. She wears a helmet and carries a sword strapped across her back. Abandoned buildings loom on either side of the road.

Owain (VO): The Knight’s sanctuary is on the far side of the Barrens.

Owain (VO): It’s a hotspot for creatures that prefer to steer clear of humans.

Which means you should assume anything you meet has a reason for being there.


Panel 2

Description: Close-up of Vangel’s phone in her hand. The screen shows that she has no cell service. The date reads October 9 and the time is 10:09.

Owain (VO): There hasn’t been cell reception out there in years, so we’ll find you a paper map.


Panel 3-4

Description: Vangel takes a deep breath and mentally prepares to embark.

SFX: FFFFFF

SFX: HHOOOOO


Panel 5

Description: Vangel pedals through the Barrens on her bicycle, weaving between the ruins of abandoned buildings.

Owain (VO): Even so, be aware that the ways may have changed. The Barrens are a sort of neutral zone that is both magical and mundane.


Panel 6

Description: Vangel rides past a large, fenced-off brick building with an arched entrance. A shadowy figure stands behind the fence near the doorway. Vangel continues onward without noticing.

Owain (VO): …so stay on guard.
