Servants set up a royal wedding feast until sudden storm clouds blot out the sun. Lightning hits the fountain, scattering the panicked workers. A black carriage with no driver emerges from thick mist and halts on the red carpet. Steward Halloran scolds the woman inside for her black attire. In response, she freezes the ground and states her name is Lunara. Terrified, Halloran rushes inside to fetch King Aldric Vance.
Castle servants and musicians prepare the courtyard for a royal wedding under clear skies. Dark storm clouds suddenly gather overhead without warning. A lightning bolt strikes the courtyard fountain, and the frightened staff scramble across the grounds in panic.
Thick mist creeps along the castle entrance path. Black horses pull an ominous black carriage toward the palace without any driver on the bench. The carriage rolls forward and halts directly over the flower-covered red carpet before the unnerved castle servants.
Castle Steward Halloran approaches the carriage to reprimand the passenger. He demands to know why she wears black to Princess Isolde's wedding feast. From within the carriage, the woman ignores his outrage and orders him to bring King Aldric to her.
Halloran warns that speaking the King's name warrants three beheadings and demands her name. Sudden frost and thick ice shoot across the ground beneath the carriage during the summer heat. The passenger tells him to announce that Lunara has arrived.
Hearing the name Lunara, Halloran bows deeply in terror. He stammers polite excuses and scrambles up the palace steps to notify King Aldric Vance. Alone in the carriage, Lunara remarks that after sixty years, it is time to reclaim her things.
“Go tell Aldric to come out and see me.”
“You dare speak the King's name so casually? That is worth three beheadings by the laws of the kingdom.”
“Go tell him. Say that Lunara has arrived.”
“Sixty years have passed. It is time to take some things back.”
Halloran races up the castle steps in absolute dread after hearing the name Lunara. Meanwhile, the woman in the carriage notes that sixty years have passed and vows to reclaim what belongs to her. Will King Aldric face the carriage outside, and what did he take from Lunara six decades ago?
