The scene opens on a mist-cloaked lake, silvered by pale light. A lone dragon descends, her movements heavy with exhaustion and the deep, urgent thrum of the mating season. She drinks, unaware the ground beneath her belongs to another. Then, a shift—a warm, living breath ghosts across her neck. She turns, and the world narrows to the colossal red-and-blue dragon before her: King Optimus Prime. His blue optics lock onto her, intense and commanding. He circles her once, a slow, deliberate appraisal, then turns away. After a beat, he glances back. Compelled by a force older than thought, she follows him off the path, through a secret entrance, and into a vast, warm cavern—his private quarters. Here, the air is thick with heat and a potent, primal energy that seems to pull them closer.
