A long time ago...

(An ancient city is seen shaking and about to collapse. While many people run away from the city in panic, two woman are seen fighting each other with swords. The taller one overpowers the smaller one with a kick and confronts her)

Fighting Woman 1: You don’t know the true meaning of this civilization, sister! We’re meant to thrive and expand while decimating anyone near our path!

Fighting Woman 2: (clashes with her sister) Nor'vanne, this is not you! You’re supposed to protect this city with your heart, not your sword!

Nor'vanne: Again, you reprimand me for my weaknesses. Let me assure you that you will not be living in Xerda much longer, Flo-Idde!

(Nor'vanne raises her sword to finish off Flo-Idde, but the ground cracks and the warrior is pushed away by debris, sending her to her doom)

Flo-Idde: (gasps) NOR'VANNE, NO!!!

(Nor'vanne screams and falls to her death in the opening of the earthquake. With not much time to mourn, Flo-Idde quickly runs out of Xerda with the last few civilians. The survivors outside Xerda see the last of their kind rushing at them while Xerda collapse into nothing but rubble)

(Inside a fancy house, Martine is seen sleeping on her bed with her sleep mask and curlers on)

'''BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!'''

(Martine slaps the alarm clock’s button, canceling the sound. She then wakes up and takes off her sleep mask, revealing her tired and moody face)

Martine: Ugh. (sighs) This must be the second time Cathy’s gonna ruin my beauty sleep, that’s for sure.

(Martine comes out of bed, revealing her silver nightgown, and goes to her makeup desk. After placing lipstick and Crème de la Terre on her face, Martine goes to the bathroom to wash her face and brushes her teeth. She then takes out her curlers and combs her hair before putting on her usual headband. Martine goes back to her room to change and her clothes and goes to her makeup desk again, now placing eyeshadow and eyeliner on her eyelids.
