Why must they go?? What step in the cause-and-effect logic am I not seeing here?
>>>to rescue and awaken the only goddess
How can a goddess who needs to be rescued be potent enough to turn back the ice age?? If she can’t rescue herself, how can it be that she has the power to rescue everyone else?

A self-proclaimed leader decides that the natural balance has to be restored by what he calls natural selection. The tormented genius ?Daggy? Pollux fights against the execution of his love interest who’s been selected as the weaker one.
What hooks my interest is the story is the concept that identical twins are forced to fight to the death.?This already happens in a nature with other species, btw.? ?For example, shark embryos cannibalize other embryos in utero.?

What about taking out the creature?? Isn’t that priority #1, the central conflict that drives the story?? If so, the logline should be framed in terms of? the central conflict.? If not, why isn’t taking out the creature the central conflict?? ?
And in the process discover the conspiracy behind the creature.? This is what’s called in drama “discovering the mountain beyond the mountain”.? The protagonist reaches his original objective goal in the 2nd half of the plot only to discover there’s another problem he must solve that’s causally related to the original problem — the mountain beyond the mountain.
In such scenarios, the logline would still be written in terms of the 1st objective goal, not the additional goal discovered later.
fwiw
