Intrepid
In Intrepid, we explore the story of Juno, a child who goes hunting for food with his mother but lacks the patience and experience to do well. After running into a small baby dragon, he finds the chance to prove himself, but the creature’s mother approaches stealthily in defense. Without his notice, Juno is barely saved by his mother, who scolds him and tries to keep him somewhere safe. In a rage, Juno sneaks away to confront the baby dragon but ends up in more danger than before as he is all alone in the face of the great mother dragon. As Juno is about to be struck, his mother faces the dragon and manages to kill it, but at the cost of her own life. In the end, Juno realizes the suffering caused through his actions and faces the baby dragon with compassion for the first time.
