The Earl of Warwick, sitting in a room, recites a tale from the book he reads.
Earl of Warwick: This is a story of Victoria, a tale from the distant past. An era when Spring remained, an age before stone castles,
The screen flashes to the view of a moon in the sky, then zooms out to reveal a pair of crimson dragons soaring...
Earl of Warwick: a time when a girl made friends with two crimson dragons. One of them was greedy, but the other was true and brave.
...and zooms out again to reveal a girl standing in a field of flowers below them, seemingly imploring the dragons to not fight each other.
Earl of Warwick: Both swore for eternity to protect her beauty and grace. Everywhere they went, the girl would find and take the most beautiful flower growing in that place.
One of the crimson dragons are now shown standing menacingly before the girl.
Earl of Warwick: Then one day came when the greedy one exclaimed, "Grant me a gift, should you call yourself my friend?" With honeyed tongue it begged the girl to braid a wreath with the flowers she had gathered, and the girl gladly agreed. With deft hands she wove a beauteous floral garland...
The girl put a crown of flowers on the dragon's head as the sun rises...
Earl of Warwick: ...and placed it around the head of the greedy red dragon. Yet the dragon of courage said,
...while the other dragon is shown flying away in the sunny sky.
Earl of Warwick: "No boon for me, no gift do I need. Our journey is incomplete, and there's much for us to see." And thus it departed alone, and flew to the mountains beyond where it created Tara, a kingdom to call its own.
