Graham Whitmore, the white-robed chancellor, owed everything to the late emperor—so he gave everything in return. He aged before his time, wore white for the kingdom, and promised the dying ruler one thing: he would tolerate his daughter, the new empress, one hundred times. No matter what. No matter how many crooked ministers she favored. No matter how far she strayed. One hundred times, he would bow. But when the hundredth came? Graham would walk away—and never look back.

Retired Crash Dummy Turned Highest Self I used to wear my pain like armor I thought being ride or die made me strong That sacrificing myself for love meant I was loyal That being chosen meant I had to endure being broken first But the truth is, I was a crash dummy for pain. I was male centered Raised in a dynamic where I believed love had to be earned by pleasing fixing and proving And because of that, I attracted someone who mirrored everything I hadnt healed A narcissist who didnt just hurt me he exposed me He mirrored my abandonment wounds He mirrored the emotional neglect I had normalized He mirrored the gaslighting I grew up with and learned to call love That relationship wasnt a curse It was an initiation It forced me to see myself To stop pretending To stop calling trauma loyalty To face my inner child who never got chosen who never got protected who never got told she was enough just by being And for the first time I chose her That pain led me to my power That heartbreak cracked me open That darkness made me meet my light I stopped chasing love and started becoming it I stopped begging for the bare minimum and started expecting divine alignment And the moment I stopped identifying with struggle my true lover came The one who sees me holds me and respects me not because I earned it but because hes aligned with the healed version of me The version that knows what she deserves The version that no longer mistakes intensity for intimacy The version that no longer crashes for love I am no longer the girl who thought love meant pain I am the woman who met herself and then met her match*This entry is participating in the ReelShort Reel Vertical Impact contest

Inspired by Ninja Theory's Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, we proudly present "The Lost Ones". In anticipation of the release of Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, we wanted to explore and speculate on the journey of Senua between the events of the first and second games. From leaving Hel, to where we might find Senua in the opening moments of Senua's Saga. Our crew had been fans of Hellblade since its release in 2017, and after expressing our excitement for the upcoming sequel, we decided to create a short film together as a love letter to the series. Starring: Allison Dayne as Senua Michelle Pokopac as the Morrigan Blair Phillips as the Fomorian and Katie Nixon as Galena. With Furies: Megan Ciafre Marley Tressler Kristen Nielsen Katie Nixon Directed by Braden McClain So to Ninja Theory and the entire crew of the Hellblade series, we say, "Thank You." Thank you for making such a powerful project that resonated so deeply with your community. Thank you for your masterful treatment and care regarding Mental Health. Thank you for allowing the voices to be heard. You are doing incredible work, and we cannot wait to see where Senua's story leads next. DISCLAIMER: This fan film is not affiliated with Ninja Theory or the "Hellblade" series.
