[Cut to: January 1925 - A darkened village near Downton Abbey]
A foggy, cold evening. The village is quiet, with the glow of street lamps casting eerie shadows. Footsteps echo in the mist.
[INT. ALLEY - NIGHT]
A male civilian, in his late 40s, investigates something strange—a soft buzzing noise, almost like a whisper of wings, emanating from the shadows. He looks nervous but determined.
Civilian: (muttering to himself) "Can't be right... what in God's name...?"
The camera follows as the civilian cautiously approaches the alley’s darkened corner, where something unseen shifts in the shadows. The sound grows louder—a low, unnatural hum. Suddenly, a hand—shadowed, clawed—emerges from the darkness and grips the man’s shoulder. His breath catches in his throat. He opens his mouth to scream, but before he can, he is yanked into the shadows, disappearing from sight. A faint, muffled cry is heard, then silence.
[EXT. VILLAGE - MOMENTS LATER]
A young woman, walking through the village, rounds a corner. She halts, her eyes widening in horror as she stumbles upon the man's body, now lying motionless, sprawled against the cobblestone alley floor.
Female Civilian: (screaming) "Oh my God!"
Her scream pierces the night air, echoing through the quiet village.
[Cut to: Title Sequence]
The familiar Downton Abbey theme music begins, soft and elegant, as the golden Downton Abbey logo appears on the screen. But suddenly, dark clouds swirl in the background, and the strings of the Supernatural theme mix into the music. The Supernatural logo emerges, crashing into the Downton Abbey logo, merging the two worlds.
Wings sprout from the merged logo, and a flutter of feathers fills the screen before fading to black.
