The golden dusk bathes the castle courtyard, where torches flicker over anxious nobles. On his throne, the king watches with crazed eyes the 'tournament' to marry off his daughter. The princess, wrapped in silver, observes the suitors' failures. Suddenly, shadows stir. Kaelor emerges: a winged giant, curved horns, eyes like banked coals. The king pales. Kaelor identifies the rare wyrm-hide trophy. Ignoring the monarch's furious shout, the dragon lifts the princess into his grasp. Enormous wings beat, carrying her skyward as she cries out. 'You will be my queen,' his deep voice resonates, while the castle fades on the horizon and the king's screams dissolve.
