BLACK SCREEN WHERE BLUE STEEL WORDS APPEAR IN SILENCE. A DEEP VOICE NARRATES.
VO : "Once, there was a Maiden\\ ... she stood at the top of a very big tower\\ she looked at the bottom and she saw\\ someone who looked very beautiful and nice\\ 'I have to talk to her' she though.\\ So she walked and walked down from the tower\\ And when she was there, she didn't see anyone\\ But she heared someone laugh, high so high up the tower\\ 'To fall is to stand up', said the laughter"
FADE IN
WE SEE THE FACE OF A CELESTIAL LION, AND AS HE SPEAKS WE REALISE HE IS THE NARRATOR PREVIOUSLY HEARD.
VO : "Now you have been reborn, as you were many times before..."
SLOW SPAN OVER THE FACES OF FIVE PERSON, THEIR EYES SPARKLING WITH THE COLOURS OF THE RAINBOW. A SLOW, MAGESTIC MUSIC STARTS OMINOUSLY.
VO : "and you have been reborn in a time of change."
FADE TO AN IMAGE OF ARMIES OF WELL-ARMED LEGIONNAIRES WALKING IN A SNOW STORM BEFORE CLASHING AGAINST WAVES OF HOWLING BARBARIANS
VO : "Soon chaos will spread upon the world, twisting and fowling all our plans..."
A RED-HAIRED WOMAN WATCHING FROM AN ABODE PLACE AS THE BARBARIANS SLOWLY GAIN FIELD OVER THE REALM SOLDIERS
VO : "It will reach us too, metamorphosing us into new beings..."
CUT TO A GREY HAIRED MAN ORATING TO A CROWD OF PEASANTS IN A SMALL TOWN
The Man : "Are you ready to be free, my friends ? Are you ready to be in charge of your..."
VO : "And as it will touch you, you will have to make a choice."
CUT TO AN OLD WOMAN, HUGGING AND ROCKING A SMALL CHILD AS SHE HUMS A LULLABY, TEARS STREAMING OVER HER FACE.
VO : "Though it might not be the choice you think."
FADE TO BLACK. THE MUSIC GETS FASTER, MORE URGENT.
VO : "For hundreds of years only the Chosen of the Stars have stood in Heavens and watched over the world while the other Exalted had abandonned their duties."
FADE TO A GREAT HALL WHERE PEOPLE IN SCHOLAR ROBES WALK BY AND TALK TO EACH OTHERS, BOOKS ALL AROUND THEM.
VO : "But now as the Celestial Bureaucracy is getting more and more corrupt,"
A CEREMONY BEING CONDUCTED BY A VERY YOUNG GIRL, HER FACE THE SAME OF THE CHILD PREVIOUSLY SEEN. WHEN SHE ENDS HER INCANTING, SHE TAKES A KNIFE AND PLUNDGES IT INTO THE HEART OF THE SUPPLICANT FACED TO HER.
VO : "as the Dragon Blooded Realm is falling into civil war,"
TWO YOUNG MEN DUELLING, SMILING AND EXCHANGING PLEASANTRIES WHILE THEY CROSS THEIR SWORDS AGAIN. SPAN TO AN ELEGANT, MIDDLE AGED MAN WATCHING THEM SILENTLY AS HE SAVOURS A WINE, A SMALL SMILE ON HIS LIPS AS SOMEONE SUDDENLY CRIES OUT.
VO : "as the Solar Exalted have reappeared at last holding the blazing torch of enlightment,"
A BOAT IN THE MIDDLE OF A STORM, WAVES TWICE AS HIGH AS THE SHIP THREATEN TO SWALLOW IT AT ANY MOMENT. ONLY A SMALL SOLITARY SILHOUETTE CAN BE SEEN ON BOARD.
VO : "and as dark monsters creep up from the abode places they were bound to"
NIGHT, SHADOWS EVERYWHERE, A LONG WALL AND SOMETHING OF UNKNOWN SIZE AND SHAPE MOVING UNDER IT.
VO : "there comes a great shuddering within the pillars of destiny and some wonder how long still we will remain at our chosen place."
CUT BACK TO THE CELESTIAL LION'S FACE LOOKING SAD AND WEARY. SLOWLY THE CAMERA WITHDRAWS THE REVEAL THE ROOM HE IS IN AND THE FIVE PERSONS LISTENING TO HIM WITH ATTENTION, SITTING IN A LOTUS POSITION.
VO : "For every tale must have a beginning, an apex, and an end,"
A GROUP OF PEOPLE RIDING THROUGH A FORREST. FAST GLIMPSES. ARE THEY CHASING SOMETHING OR BEING CHASED ?
VO : "now, there comes a time"
A SLIM AND SMALL MAN MOVING FASTER THAN SHOULB BE ABLE, LEAPING FROM WALLS TO WALLS IN A COMPLICATED ROOM, AND FINALLY FALLING ON THE GROUND IN A COMBATIVE STANCE.
VO : "when heroes have to decide"
SOMEONE BLOWING IN A HUNTING COR. THE GREY HAIRED-MAN SMILING AS SOME KIND OF HUGE CREATURE IS STARTING TO RAISE.
VO : "where they stand"
A VERY TALL TREE, WIND BLOWING SLOWLY BETWEEN ITS LEAVES AS SOMEONE UP IS DIVING, REMAINING FOR ONE SECOND IN THE AIR LIKE A GRACEFUL BIRD.
VO : "between Heavens and Earth."
FADE TO BLACK.

Hey Etrangere, thats unfair, after reading your teaser, i have a great urge to watch your campaign as a movie - Teddy-K
Is that a bad thing or a good things ? Heh, you could either watch the game on the irc chan or read the logs if you want (though i'm not sure watching/reading is a lot of fun) - Etrangere
Oh, thats a good thing. While reading the teaser i just couldn't help but imagine it as movie trailer. And if i would watch that movietrailer, i would definatly want to watch that movie ;) All in all, i wanted to say that the discription is very vivid and imaginative and i like it a lot - Teddy-K
What about ninjas? Do you like the ninjas? Because there aren't any ninjas here. Nope. They all said "I'm Not Here." - GoldenH
That's because I don't like ninjas. Nah, I really don't. When I hear Lesbian ninjas I flinch because of the ninja part. And thank you Teddy-K. - Etrangere
Hmm. Well. I guess it's a good thing I'm not playing a ninja. <- - > < - -> <- - > < - -> BAMPH! - GoldenH
