Location:
 the
 Temple
 in
 the
 Jungle,
 South
 America
 
Time:
 Dark
 

 
00:02:
 The
 two
 companions
 look
 up
 decisively,
 knowing
 what
 they
 must
 do.
 

 
00:14:
  They
  walk
  up
  the
  steps
  of
  the
  Temple,
  stumbling
  from
  the
  wounds
  and
 
weariness
 of
 the
 Jungle’s
 ordeals.
 

 
00:37:
  They
  fling
  the
  main
  gate
  of
  the
  Temple
  open.
  The
  main
  hall
  is
  large
  and
 
imposing,
  ornate
  with
  mystical
  drawings
  and
  sculptures
  of
  the
  tribe
  that
  has
 
protected
  the
  Temple
  for
  countless
  generations.
  Opposite
  the
  entrance,
  on
  the
 
center
 of
 the
 wall
 there
 is
 a
 huge
 ornate
 circle
 with
 what
 looks
 like
 a
 keyhole
 in
 
the
 middle.
 

 

The
  man
  reaches
  in
  his
  shirt
  and
  uncovers
  the
  medallion
  his
  mother
  gave
  him
 
before
 she
 died.
 The
 woman
 does
 the
 same.
 
Combined,
 they
 form
 the
 same
 shape
 as
 the
 keyhole.
 
Memories
  of
  his
  beloved
  mother
  pass
  through
  their
  mind
  as
  they
  caress
  each
 
other’s
 medallion
 misty-­‐eyed.
 

 
They
 look
 at
 the
 keyhole
 and
 insert
 the
 medallions
 together.
 

 
1:12:
 Bolts
 and
 heavy
 lumber
 creak
 to
 life
 and
 shatter
 the
 silence.
 The
 building
 
begins
 to
 shake…
 

 
1:38:
 the
 building
 starts
 collapsing
 at
 superhuman
 speed
 around
 him,
 enveloping
 
him
 in
 a
 tornado
 of
 ruble
 that
 collapses
 in
 on
 itself
 like
 a
 black
 hole.
 They
 stare
 
calmly,
 accepting
 their
 fate.

1:48
 
Location:
 the
 Forest
 on
 the
 Other
 Side
 
Time:
 Sunrise
 

 
They
  find
  themselves
  magically
  transported
  on
  a
  self-­‐animated
  rock
  plateau
 
suspended
 in
 mid-­‐air.
 

 
1:58:
  As
  the
  rock
  rises,
  it
  reveals
  the
  place
  they
  have
  been
  searching
  for:
  the
 
Forest
 on
 the
 Other
 Side.
 

 

They
 jump
 off
 at
 the
 edge
 of
 a
 thickly
 leaved
 cliff
 and
 part
 the
 leaves…
 

 
2:09:
  As
  the
  leaves
  part,
  the
  Lost
  City
  is
  revealed
  –
  an
  endless
  stretch
  of
 
magnificent
  golden
  spires
  piercing
  the
  sky
  in
  all
  their
  gleaming
  glory.
  They
  cry
 
and
 laugh
 out
 loud
 while
 gripping
 each
 other
 furiously.
 

 
2:26:
 They
 begin
 to
 descend
 the
 small
 hill
 to
 reach
 the
 Lost
 City.
 

 
2:36:
 They
 arrive
 at
 the
 main
 entrance
 of
 the
 City…
