Another world...
:00:23
another time...
:00:25
in the age of wonder.
:00:29
A thousand years ago,
this land was green and good...

:00:32
until the Crystal cracked.
:00:35
For a single piece was lost...
:00:37
a shard of the Crystal.
:00:41
Then strife began...
:00:43
and two new races appeared:
:00:46
the cruel Skekses...
:00:49
the gentle Mystics.
:00:55
Here in the castle of the Crystal,
the Skekses took control.

:01:11
Now the Skekses gather
in the sacred chamber...

:01:14
where the Crystal hangs
above a shaft of air and fire.

:01:21
The Skekses, with their hard
and twisted bodies...

:01:24
their harsh and twisted wills.
:01:29
For a thousand years
they have ruled...

:01:32
yet now there are only ten.
:01:36
A dying race
ruled by a dying emperor...

:01:39
imprisoned within themselves
in a dying land.

:01:48
Today, once more
they gather at the Crystal...

:01:51
as the first sun climbs to its peak...
:01:55
for this is the way of the Skekses,
:01:57
As they ravage the land...
:01:59
so, too, they learn
to draw new life from the sun.
