Description: **Raya and the Last Dragon (2021)**
**Plot Summary:**
Five centuries ago, Kumandra flourished as a prosperous land until the emergence of evil spirits known as the Druun. These malevolent beings consumed souls, turning people into stone. In a desperate act, the dragons of Kumandra harnessed their remaining magic to craft a powerful orb. This orb not only repelled the Druun but also restored life to those affected. However, the dragons themselves petrified in the process. A fierce struggle for the orb ensued, dividing the land’s inhabitants into five tribes—Fang, Heart, Tail, Spine, and Talon—based on their position along a dragon-shaped river. The Heart Tribe secured the orb and has safeguarded it ever since.
In the present day, Chief Benja of the Heart Tribe trains his daughter, Raya, to protect the orb. Despite ongoing tensions, Benja remains hopeful for unity among the tribes. He organizes a feast to bring them together. During this event, Raya befriends Namaari, the daughter of Chief Virana of the Fang Tribe, bonding over their shared fascination with dragons. However, Namaari betrays Raya, leading to a conflict over the orb. The ensuing battle results in the orb’s destruction, scattering its fragments among the tribes and awakening the dormant Druun. Benja sacrifices himself to save Raya, urging her to flee with a shard of the orb.
Six years later, Raya embarks on a quest to locate the Dragon Gem’s remaining pieces. Her journey leads her to Sisu, the last surviving dragon, who reveals that her siblings created the orb. Sisu agrees to help Raya recover the fragments, using her inherited powers to combat the Druun and restore Kumandra’s harmony.
