Distant Prologue
submited by
Style Pass
The Distant Prologue is a short introduction scene that takes place a significant amount of time before the main plot starts.
Bonus points if it has subtitles in visual media: for example, "8,000 Years Ago", followed by "Present Day" after the Time Skip to the period when the majority of the work takes place. Can overlap with When It All Began.
Fittingly enough, the movie Atlantis: The Lost Empire, begins thousands of years ago, to the destruction of Atlantis.
