AN: So, I've decided that I'll write my own non-canon version of Hud Hynafol concurrently with the SYOC canon version. That's all this one is. You want the official story go to the SYOC version. You want a story with my OCs, look at this one. They'll begin at the same time so be prepared to wait for a LONG time before either one actually takes off.

The camera pans through various shots of ruined or overgrown areas of Crios Cath, notably a collapsed Tomb of Shame, the Nialasach Ruins, and the camps of both Team Ebisu and Clan Cyfrwys, clearly now home to the fauna of the island. All the while, Chris McLean narrates.

"Hud Hynafol… Ancient Magic… Such supernatural power was once prevalent among the natives of Crios Cath, and among this island's many ruins, some of them created simply by last season's cast, the island's trilogy is about to come to a close."

The camera focuses towards a small cottage in the Cloch Mountain Range. The smoke rising from the chimney makes it clear that a fire is burning inside. It's a warm home, though it's location also gives it an ominous feeling, being located in such treacherous terrain.

"Diviners of the time used ancient signs in the stars to determine the futures and pasts of all who visited them. And this will be the name of the game this season. Two teams of eleven players each will find themselves stranded among the ruins of Crios Cath, the first human life this island has seen in quite a while, and will have to make do with what their predecessors have left behind for them, assuming anything still works."

The camera zooms in towards the cottage in the mountains, and changes to reveal Chris sitting at a table, behind a crystal ball, with twenty-two cards laid out in front of him.

"These are the Major Arcana of tarot cards." He explains as he gestures to each one's star-motif backside. "At the beginning of this season, each of our twenty-two newbies will be dealt a specific card. With each one comes both a Card Invocation, a special ability that may be invoked only once at any point throughout the game, as well as an Arcane Bind, a hindrance specific to that card. The players will not be allowed to show each other their cards unless they specifically are invoking that card's ability, so they'll have to take it on faith that their competitors are being honest about the card they possess, if they say one way or the other at all."

The camera shifts back to the Ionad Desert, where Chris is standing in the middle of the bonfire pit. "Teams will once again compete in challenges for immunity, and the losing team will be sent here to the Tine Naofa Bonfire Elimination Ceremony, where one of their unlucky members will find themselves voted out of the competition, and be forced to trudge the Sands of Shame…" Chris pointed towards a path of sandstone that had been laid out in the sand, "which will lead them straight towards the Loser Lounge! A ramshackle conglomeration of huts among the interns' tents, cut off from the rest of the island! Who has what it takes to adapt to their own personal setbacks, which contestant is the star-chosen child, or can any of them defy the odds and carve their own fate? Find out, right here! On Total! Drama! Hud Hynafol!"
