The Ember Between Death and Dawn, AI Video

I just created this using Sora and I’m releasing it for anyone to use. No credit needed, seriously, just take it and create. I have a deep love for storytelling and I really want to see what this community can build with AI videos.

Hollywood is a sinking ship. They are talentless, repetitive, and rely on massive budgets to hide bad writing. They’ve lost the soul of cinema. AI is leveling the playing field and proving that you don't need a studio to make magic. Let's make the content they are too afraid to make. It’s time for independent creators to show them how it’s really done.

Prompt/Story:
Every winter solstice the forest claims one life to feed the sleeping roots, an ancient bargain struck when the first blood was spilled on this ground. This year the chosen sacrifice is Astrid, a healer who once saved the village from plague and was repaid by being named the tithe. Bound in silver chains, she was led into the pines at dusk and left for the unseen thing that walks only when the sun dies. But the thing that came for her tonight was not hunger; it was Halvar, the man who loved her in secret, the same man who years ago took an axe-blow meant for her and was buried beneath these same trees. He should be bones, yet here he stands, half-wreathed in frost, eyes glowing faintly with the ember-light of something that refused the grave. The fire between them is the last of the living world; beyond it the forest is already forgetting the shape of daylight. One step across the flames and Astrid can take the hand of the man she never dared love in life; together they can walk deeper into the dark and become the new guardians of the bargain, trading their hearts for the village’s survival. One step back and she can run, break the bargain, let the forest devour everything she ever protected, and maybe—just maybe—find a dawn that does not demand another death. Snow falls like ash. The fire crackles, counting down the final minutes of the longest night. Write the moment when a woman who has only ever saved lives must decide whether love is worth letting the whole world freeze, and whether the dead can still be selfish enough to ask her to follow them.
