1 - EXT. LARGE CITY - NIGHT
Establishing shot of an evening in a metropolis. Big
buildings, lots of lights, the bustling city at night.
2 - INT. CHILDREN'S ROOM - NIGHT
The city scape is seen through a window in a young boys room.
CARLOS, six years old, is lying against the headboard of his
bed, all tucked in for bed. His father, MARTIN, is sitting
across from him, proud of his son.
CARLOS
Dad, how did the world start?
MARTIN
That's a good question, son.
3 - INT. CHILDREN'S ROOM - NIGHT
Close on Martin.
MARTIN
About four billion years ago dust
began forming up into a disc, which
clumped up into new planets. Then--
4 - INT. CHILDREN'S ROOM - NIGHT
Close on Carlos. He's upset...he didn't want a history
lesson.
CARLOS
No no no, Dad. Tell me the STORY
of how the world started.
5 - INT. CHILDREN'S ROOM - NIGHT
Same as Panel 2, Martin ruffles his sons hair with a grin.
MARTIN
Oh, THAT story? Again? Well, if
that'll get you to sleep...
6 - SPACE
An egg sits in space, cracks where light spills out sit
across its surface. The dove is ready to hatch.
2.
NARRATOR
At the beginning of time, there was
no sun, no Earth, no Moon...just
the sun egg.
1 - SPACE
The egg cracks more, more light spills out into the ether.
NARRATOR
And in the egg was a dove, waiting
for its shell to crack, to be free
and spread its wings.
2 - SPACE
The egg explodes! The DOVE flies out, wings spread directly
above the remnants of the eggs.
NARRATOR
And when it hatched, the egg
exploded with such force, that the
Sun was created from the energy of
the birth.
3 - SPACE
On the back of the dove, DEYUS stands confidently as his five
angels stand behind him.
NARRATOR
The dove was born with six men, who
would tend to Earth, the next egg
to be laid.
4 - EXT. FIELD - DAY
From behind, a view of Dyeus and his five standing on the
surface of the Earth looking up at the dove.
NARRATOR
The six would live on the egg, tend
its fields, nurture its soil, and
create the next generation of
people who would take their places.
3.
5 - SPACE
Looking back at the Earth and its moon, the dove in the
foreground.
NARRATOR
Another egg was laid, but as there
were no men to tend to it, the moon
became lifeless and dead.
6 - EXT. FIELD - NIGHT
A field at night, looking into the night sky. Five bright
lights, brighter than the rest of the stars, light up the
sky.
NARRATOR
The dove then joined the four other
doves in the night sky, never to be
seen by man again.
1 - EXT. FIELD - DAY
The angels meet the men of Earth. A man and a woman. Deyus
has his hands on their shoulders in friendship.
NARRATOR
The men of the dove met the men of
the Earth, and befriended them.
2 - EXT. FIELD - DAY
Deyus shows a man how to make a spear. Another shows a woman
types of grain.
NARRATOR
They taught man the basics of life.
Of the animals, of the hunt, of the
berries, of the grains.
3 - SPACE
Looking from above the Earth, down at a river delta.
NARRATOR
Eventually, as man nurtured it, the
Earth egg began to crack.
4.
rivers formed in these cracks, the
doves talons formed mountains on
the shell.
4 - EXT. ARIOS CITY, ON THE DELTA.
The town of Arios, on the river delta. A large collection of
simple huts and yurts spread across the delta.
NARRATOR
As man learned to thrive, the men
of the dove went away, and man
tended to the egg on their own.
They fed the Earth and the Earth
fed man.
5 - INT. HUT - DAY
The narrator is no longer Martin, but a tribal warrior
tucking his son in to bed, reflecting a 12000BC version of
Episode 1, Panel 2. The father is GREATA, the tribal chief
of the Ehrem family, his seven year old son is KRUZE, lying
in a leather sleeping bag, a rolled up blanket for a pillow,
eyes closed in contentment
GREATA
And that, Son, is how the world
began...
6 - INT. HUT - DAY
Close on Greata, he's clearly proud of his sleeping future
warrior.
GREATA
...goodnight, Kruze.
