START OF ACT #1<br />

EXT. ARNOR ROAD DAY<br />

KATRINA is in shock after seeing WENDAL appear next to her<br />

and kill the soldier that held her hostage. WENDAL is<br />

tapping her on the head. KATRINA snaps out of her shock and<br />

for the first time noticed that she is tightly griping<br />

WENDALS shirt.<br />

WENDAL<br />

(Smiling) )<br />

Are you alright? For a second there<br />

I thought I accidently hit you.<br />

KATRINA looks up at WENDAL with a dazed look.<br />

WENDAL<br />

I guess your still trying to make<br />

sense of what just happened.<br />

Regardless-<br />

WENDAL helps KATRINA to her feet.<br />

WENDAL<br />

We need to get moving now.<br />

KATRINA finally regains her senses.<br />

KATRINA<br />

Wait what... how ... when?<br />

WENDAL<br />

Like I said I'm sure your still a<br />

little surprised and right now-<br />

While Wendall's talking he walks over to a soldier and takes<br />

one of their knives. He walks over to KATERINA and cuts her<br />

bindings then walks over MORN and does the same.<br />

WENDAL (CONT'D)<br />

We need to get out of Arnor<br />

territory and head for the border<br />

into Erros.<br />

MORN<br />

While I appreciate you coming to<br />

help us I'm afraid we can't go with<br />

you.<br />

WENDAL<br />

What do you mean you can't go? You<br />

cant remain here in Arnor they'll<br />

kill you.<br />

WENDAL (CONT'D)<br />

KATRINA<br />

Father I know our family has been<br />

here for untold generations but<br />

times have changed the war we once<br />

thought far and distance is now<br />

taking place at our doorst<strong>ep</strong>.<br />

MORN<br />

Aye that may be true but we Barcker<br />

have always been in Arnor and I<br />

refuse to be the first one to<br />

leave.<br />

KATRINA<br />

(Pleading)<br />

Father please put that foolish<br />

pride aside and come to terms with<br />

the reality that we can't stay here<br />

anymore our family will end here<br />

today in Arnor unless we escape.<br />

MORN<br />

You have a point (whispers) still-<br />

WENDAL<br />

We need to go now!<br />

KATRINA<br />

What is it?<br />

WENDAL<br />

Soldiers and a lot of them.<br />

MORN<br />

Where? I don't hear or see any.<br />

WENDAL<br />

I can it sounds like the clanging<br />

of pots and pans its distant but I<br />

can definitely hear it getting<br />

louder.<br />

KATRINA<br />

Can you make out how close they<br />

are?<br />

WENDAL<br />

No... Hold on I have an idea mind<br />

taking a st<strong>ep</strong> back.<br />

Both KATRINA and MORN take a couple of st<strong>ep</strong>s back form


3<br />

WENDAL.<br />

WENDAL<br />

I'll be right back.<br />

WENDAL leaps strait up into the air breaking a few branches<br />

as he launched up through the forest canopy. WENDAL looks<br />

around. From the south west he could see plumes of smoke<br />

about 30 to 40 miles away. WENDAL begins to fall, shortly<br />

after he crashes through the canopy and lands on the ground.<br />

KATRINA<br />

Did you see anything?<br />

WENDAL<br />

Ya smoke about 30 or so miles away<br />

at the pace there moving they'll<br />

be on us by night fall.<br />

KATRINA<br />

Me and my father were talking and<br />

he's agreed to leave the country.<br />

MORN<br />

Hold on there I said I'd go only if<br />

we could get the proper documents<br />

without those well be treated like<br />

regular refugees.<br />

KATRINA<br />

Yes but well worry about that when<br />

we get there for now we have to<br />

ke<strong>ep</strong> on moving. Lets go.<br />

The group starts walking back towards Andwar. WENDAL comes<br />

beside KATRINA.<br />

WENDAL<br />

About those papers.<br />

KATRINA<br />

I know it's a big what if but I<br />

don't know what else to do.<br />

WENDAL<br />

About that-<br />

KATRINA<br />

It's not as if we going to run into<br />

someone with the authority to issue<br />

documents while walking down the<br />

road.


4<br />

WENDAL<br />

I think I can help with that.<br />

WENDAL pulls out his papers and hands them to KATRINA.<br />

KATRINA<br />

(Mouth gaping)<br />

Kings Associate?<br />

WENDAL<br />

(Smiling)<br />

Yup which means-<br />

KATRINA<br />

Which means you can grant us the<br />

papers we need O thank you WENDAL.<br />

KATRINA jumps onto WENDAL and gives him a hug.<br />

WENDAL<br />

(Flustered)<br />

It's no big deal any guy in my<br />

position would do the same he he<br />

he..<br />

WENDAL looks over to MORN who is glaring at him.<br />

WENDAL<br />

Anyway we should make to the gates<br />

path.<br />

FADE TO BLACK.<br />

EXT. SOUTHERN ARNOR ROAD DAY<br />

RONNOC has gathered his forces on the southern end of the<br />

Arnor Road. His force is 100 strong made up of 25 archers,<br />

50 foot soldiers, 15 scouts and 10 knights all of which are<br />

part of his elite force capable of taking on armies 5 times<br />

it's size. Their target WENDLE.<br />

SOLDIER<br />

Sir, R<strong>ep</strong>orts in.<br />

RONNOC<br />

(Happily)<br />

5<br />

RONNOC (CONT'D)<br />

Wonderful, what is it.<br />

SOLDIER<br />

The scouts have made visual contact<br />

with the target sir.<br />

RONNOC<br />

I thought I gave them strict orders<br />

to go no where near him.<br />

SOLDIER<br />

Well according to the scouts they<br />

say they saw a small object launch<br />

into the air about 30 miles to our<br />

North.<br />

RONNOC lightly chuckled.<br />

SOLDIER<br />

Sir, what's so funny?<br />

RONNOC<br />

What? O nothing really I was just<br />

thinking about how even the<br />

powerful are prone to foolishness.<br />

(To himself)<br />

He really is just a kid.<br />

SOLDIER<br />

What was that sir?<br />

RONNOC<br />

Nothing. Is that all.<br />

SOLDIER<br />

Sir, that is all.<br />

RONNOC<br />

Good return to your post.<br />

Sir!<br />

SOLDIER<br />

The soldier solutes and returns to the main force.<br />

START OF ACT #3<br />

RONNOC (V.O.)<br />

This is it the empires greatest<br />

threat is about to meet his match.


6<br />

EXT. ARNOR ROAD MID DAY<br />

WENDAL, KATRINA and MORN have been traveling for a few hours<br />

and continue to ke<strong>ep</strong> distance between them and RONNOC's<br />

forces.<br />

KATRINA<br />

Anyone smell that?<br />

Wasn't me<br />

WENDAL<br />

KATRINA<br />

Not that its more potent than<br />

smelly and gross.<br />

WENDAL<br />

Now that you mention it I do kinda<br />

smell it. Smells like some ones<br />

smoking a joint.<br />

KATRINA<br />

What's that?<br />

WENDAL<br />

Nothing forgot where I was for a<br />

minute.<br />

WENDAL and KATRINA continue forward with MORN taking up the<br />

rear. MORN suddenly stops to sniff the air suddenly all the<br />

blood rushes out of his face and he's pale as a sheet.<br />

MORN<br />

(Franticly)<br />

GET OFF THE ROAD!<br />

WENDAL<br />

What it's not that bad.<br />

MORN<br />

(Panic)<br />

It's coming there it wont get me<br />

not here.<br />

KATRINA<br />

I've never seen him like this.<br />

Something gotta be wrong go grab<br />

him and get off the road just to be<br />

safe.<br />

WENDAL<br />

(Reluctantly)<br />

Alright.


7<br />

WENDAL picks up MORN and KATRINA and jumps onto a near by<br />

tree branch. As he does so a thick fog rolls over the road.<br />

MORN<br />

(Terrified)<br />

There here.<br />

Further down the road WENDAL and KATRINA could make out<br />

figures and soon the cause of the smoke became clear.<br />

Mugos.<br />

KATRINA<br />

WENDAL<br />

Mountain pine?<br />

KATRINA<br />

No those thing down there are<br />

Mugos.<br />

WENDAL<br />

What are they doing?<br />

Hunting.<br />

KATRINA<br />

WENDAL<br />

Wait those thing eat people?<br />

KATRINA<br />

No one knows, they come out of no<br />

wear snatch up those who couldn't<br />

get off the road quick enough and<br />

leave.<br />

Cre<strong>ep</strong>y.<br />

WENDAL<br />

One of the Mugo broke away from the group and walked to the<br />

base of the tree WENDAL was hiding in. It looked strange its<br />

body was like bark overlapping itself in an odd pattern on<br />

its back was a pinecone spewing the yellow gas but most odd<br />

was its face or rather its mask it was made of wood with<br />

only two eye holes that where completely black. The Mugo<br />

looked directly at WENDAL.<br />

WENDAL<br />

This thing is looking right at me.<br />

KATRINA<br />

Don't worry their blind those eye<br />

holes are just for show.


8<br />

WENDAL<br />

Whatever you say.<br />

As the black eyes looked stared at him he couldn't help but<br />

feel uneasy as if he was standing close to the mouth of<br />

some bottomless pit.<br />

Jump<br />

WHISPER<br />

( (Faintly)<br />

WENDAL began to lean froward and that sense of vertigo<br />

overtook him.<br />

KATRINA<br />

(Shouting)<br />

WENDAL!<br />

A arm pulls WENDAL back and he snaps out of trance.<br />

WENDAL<br />

Whoa thanks KATRI-<br />

WENDAL turns around to see that is was MORN who grabbed him.<br />

WENDAL<br />

(Surprised)<br />

O MORN I mean Mr.Barck-<br />

MORN<br />

(Meekly)<br />

You heard it.<br />

WENDAL is taken back<br />

MORN<br />

I won't let them take another I<br />

swear.<br />

MORN...<br />

WENDAL<br />

MORN<br />

There I go again. Don't mind me kid<br />

I'm just a scared old man lost in<br />

my own little world but I'm fine<br />

now.<br />

WENDAL<br />

But what was all of tha-<br />

MORN pulls WENDAL close.


9<br />

MORN<br />

They say the eyes are the gate way<br />

to the soul, but what happens when<br />

there's no soul behind those eyes,<br />

what then?<br />

MORN lets go of WENDAL and walks away. KATRINA runs over to<br />

WENDAL.<br />

KATRINA<br />

Hey are you good? What happened.<br />

WENDAL<br />

I'm not sure, I was just looking at<br />

the Mugo and suddenly it went dark.<br />

KATRINA<br />

That explains It no wonder my Dad<br />

flipped out.<br />

WENDAL<br />

What do you mean? What happened?<br />

KATRINA<br />

I'll tell you later right now we<br />

need to figure out were to go from<br />

here.<br />

WENDAL<br />

What do you mean can't we just take<br />

the road?<br />

KATRINA shakes her head.<br />

KATRINA<br />

No, if the Mugos are awake that<br />

means more could show up.<br />

WENDAL<br />

Ok what are our options?<br />

KATRINA<br />

Well we can try to brave the forest<br />

but it's almost impossible to find<br />

your way without an experienced<br />

guide.<br />

WENDAL<br />

And the second option.<br />

KATRINA<br />

We could use the old pilgrims path<br />

through the mountains, but there's<br />

(MORE)


10<br />

KATRINA (CONT'D)<br />

supposedly a huge dire bear living<br />

near the path so...<br />

WENDAL<br />

Mountain pass it is.<br />

KATRINA<br />

(Surprised)<br />

Did you not hear me I said there's<br />

a huge dire bear. I don't care how<br />

strong you are a dire bear-<br />

WENDAL<br />

You mean the dire bear that's been<br />

sitting dead at the bottom of a<br />

ravine.<br />

KATRINA<br />

Wait come again?<br />

WENDAL<br />

O don't worry about it the dire<br />

bears been taken care of. More<br />

importantly do you know the way?<br />

KATRINA<br />

Ya believe it or not I recently<br />

took a pilgrimage to the sacred<br />

lake not to long ago.<br />

WENDAL<br />

You can tell me all about it on the<br />

way there lets get going.<br />

WENDAL and KATRINA run past MORN who looks back one last<br />

time to see smoke fill the road again and from within a<br />

silhouette of woman waves goodbye before disappearing again.<br />

Goodbye.<br />

EXT. ARNOR ROAD DUSK<br />

MORN<br />

RONNOC and his army have arrived at the point where WENDAL<br />

encountered the Mugo. The troops rest as they wait for the<br />

scouts to come back.<br />

RONNOC (V.O.)<br />

This is strange the scout group<br />

should have returned by now. On top<br />

of that theirs an ominous air to<br />

this place.


11<br />

A the bush next to RONNOC begins to rustle and shake.<br />

RONNOC<br />

(Unsheathing his sword)<br />

Who goes there show your self.<br />

A scout hurtles out from the brush in a panic.<br />

RONNOC<br />

You know danm well not to sneak up<br />

on me like that I could have killed<br />

you.<br />

The scout doesn't respond.<br />

RONNOC<br />

(Angry)<br />

Did you here me soldier and look at<br />

me when I'm talking to you.<br />

RONNOC touches the scout on the shoulder. The scout jumps as<br />

if startled. He turns to face RONNOC and it became clear to<br />

him what was going on. He sheaths his sword and puts both<br />

his hand on the scouts shoulders.<br />

RONNOC<br />

It's ok you're safe go return home<br />

see your family you've done enough.<br />

The scout snaps out of his panic for a few moments.<br />

SCOUT<br />

(Shuddering)<br />

T..Th..Th..The targets heading east<br />

to into the mountains.<br />

RONNOC<br />

Thank you now go.<br />

RONNOC (V.O.)<br />

So there headed to the old pilgrims<br />

path through the mountains. Clever<br />

but foolish.<br />

RONNOC returns to the main force.<br />

RONNOC<br />

Men get moving we make for the<br />

mountains and make it snappy we<br />

(MORE)


12<br />

RONNOC (CONT'D)<br />

have a pack of Mugos heading this<br />

way.<br />

The men shutter at the mention of the Mugos and begin to<br />

march with an added haste.<br />

EXT. PILGRIMS PASS ENTRANCE DAY<br />

The group had rested in a near by cave for the night and<br />

after a quick check from the air WENDAL saw no change in the<br />

distance between him and the pursuing army.<br />

KATRINA<br />

So how's it looking?<br />

WENDAL<br />

Where all good looks like they<br />

stopped for the night to but they<br />

are moving faster than they were<br />

before.<br />

KATRINA<br />

Then we better get moving ill go<br />

get my father.<br />

KATRINA goes into the cave to go wake her father WENDAL is<br />

alone.<br />

WENDAL (V.O.)<br />

Mr. Morn been acting weird ever<br />

since the encounter with the Mugos<br />

I wonder what the deal with that<br />

is.<br />

KATRINA and MORN emerge from the cave.<br />

WENDAL<br />

Sle<strong>ep</strong> well?<br />

MORN offers a shrug in response and brushes past WENDAL.<br />

WENDAL<br />

Did I do something wrong?<br />

KATRINA<br />

It's nothing like that it's...<br />

complicated.<br />

WENDAL<br />

What happened common you can tell<br />

me.<br />

Befor KATRINA can speak she hears her father yelling.


13<br />

MORN<br />

(Distant shouting)<br />

Hurry up Kat you're the only one<br />

who knows the way.<br />

KATRINA<br />

(Shout)<br />

I'm coming.<br />

KATRINA runs over to the entrance of the mountain passage<br />

with WENDAL shortly behind her.<br />

MORN<br />

Lead the way.<br />

KATRINA pauses remembering the last time she stood at the<br />

gates of this pass with her mother. Then after a few moments<br />

she heads in with the rest of the group in tow.<br />

EXT. PILGRIMS PASS HIGH IN THE ARNOR MOUNTAINS LATE<br />

AFTERNOON<br />

The group is walking through a narrow section on the path<br />

large walls tower high above them past their view and into<br />

the clouds. KATRINA is leading the way followed by WENDAL<br />

then MORN.<br />

WENDAL<br />

I've never seen mountains so tall<br />

they look like they go on forever.<br />

KATRINA<br />

People say that the mountains reach<br />

so high that if you where to climb<br />

to the top you'd be able to see<br />

heaven.<br />

WENDAL<br />

I didn't think a place like this<br />

would even believe in heaven.<br />

KATRINA<br />

Of course we do, but now a days<br />

people like to put their faith into<br />

weapons and walls rather then some<br />

unseen deity.<br />

WENDAL<br />

I had no idea that religion was<br />

such a universal thing.<br />

KATRINA<br />

You mean you have religion where<br />

(MORE)


14<br />

KATRINA (CONT'D)<br />

you're from?<br />

WENDAL<br />

Ya, but I'm no expert my family<br />

doesn't really talk about, it my<br />

dad was raised catholic but we only<br />

go to the christmas service .<br />

KATRINA looks at WENDAL in confusion<br />

WENDAL<br />

Yes, there's religion, no I don't<br />

practice any of it.<br />

KATRINA<br />

Any? You mean there's more than<br />

one?<br />

WENDAL<br />

There only one religion here?<br />

KATRINA<br />

Yes, it's as old as time itself.<br />

WENDAL<br />

(Snarky)<br />

Most religions are.<br />

KATRINA<br />

(Ignoring Wendal)<br />

The three Gods of this land used<br />

there powers to create the 3<br />

contents. The eldest and wisest God<br />

created Nur the biggest content,<br />

the two younger Gods created the<br />

other two contents Erros and Arnor<br />

each God created a helpers to<br />

assist them in maintaining the<br />

lands they created and thus we<br />

humans were born. The Gods lived<br />

among the helpers for centuries<br />

creating vast cities each with<br />

there own blessings from the Gods.<br />

Wisdom for Nur, Strength for Arnor,<br />

and Will for Erros. Then shortly<br />

after the Gods vanished and no one<br />

has heard or seen them since.<br />

WENDAL<br />

They vanished?


15<br />

KATRINA<br />

Yes, they vanished without a trace.<br />

The old text say the God's were no<br />

longer needed that they moved on.<br />

No ones seen them for almost 6<br />

thousand years. And in those long<br />

years the gifts the gods blessed<br />

there people with turned wicked for<br />

the wise started hoarding knowledge<br />

and ke<strong>ep</strong>ing it for their own and<br />

the strong made castles and armies<br />

to dominate the weak...<br />

WENDAL<br />

What about gift the gods gave to<br />

Erros didn't it backfire too?<br />

KATRINA<br />

(Smiles)<br />

No, instead the people of Erros<br />

turned to hope.<br />

Hope?<br />

WENDAL<br />

KATRINA<br />

Yes, for you see the power to be<br />

strong willed is also the power of<br />

hope. Through the power of will you<br />

can always move forward despite the<br />

circumstances and because of this<br />

the people were able to hope for a<br />

tomorrow to when the gods return<br />

and bring a new area of peace.<br />

WENDAL<br />

I think I understand what you're<br />

saying, but theirs just something I<br />

don't get.<br />

KATRINA<br />

What's that?<br />

WENDAL<br />

Why would a Arnorain such as your<br />

self know so much about the Erros<br />

beliefs?<br />

KATRINA continues walking but turns her head to look at<br />

WENDAL.


16<br />

KATRINA<br />

My mother wa-<br />

Before KATRINA can finish shes trips and falls down into a<br />

large ditch the ground at the bottom of the ditch is<br />

unstable and gives way under her weight causing her lower<br />

legs to sink into the loose rock and gravel.<br />

WENDAL<br />

(From the mouth of the<br />

ditch)<br />

ARE YOU OK!<br />

KATRINA<br />

Ya but I think I'm stuck. Hold on<br />

maybe if I...<br />

KATRINA tries to use the ground next to her as leverage but<br />

in doing so only causes her to sink de<strong>ep</strong>er.<br />

Help me!<br />

KATRINA<br />

WENDAL<br />

Don't move I'm coming.<br />

MORN<br />

No don't if you go down there to<br />

the whole ditch will collapse in on<br />

itself.<br />

WENDAL<br />

Well then I guess I'll just have to<br />

be quick.<br />

WENDAL using his inhuman speed runs down to KATRINA and<br />

picks her up and out of hole she was buried in Then with<br />

KATRINA in his arms jumps out of ditch before it completely<br />

collapses.<br />

WENDAL?<br />

Yes?<br />

KATRINA<br />

WENDAL<br />

KATRINA<br />

I'm thankful that you saved me and<br />

all...<br />

WENDAL<br />

Don't mention it.


17<br />

KATRINA<br />

Well text time do you think you<br />

could save all of me?<br />

WENDAL<br />

What do you mean?<br />

KATRINA motions to her feet. WENDAL noticed that her shoes<br />

are gone.<br />

WENDAL<br />

So what you lost a pair of shoes<br />

you can get a new pair when we get<br />

to Erros.<br />

KATRINA<br />

Alright, but your forgetting a<br />

major detail.<br />

What?<br />

WENDAL<br />

KATRINA<br />

(angrily)<br />

How am I supposed walk on a ancient<br />

gravel path without any shoes!<br />

WENDAL<br />

O now I get it. I'll just carry you<br />

you're really not that heavy.<br />

KATRINA<br />

(flustered)<br />

What's that supposed to mean.<br />

WENDAL<br />

That your not as heavy as I<br />

thought.<br />

KATRINA scoffs at WENDAL. MORN who's been watching up to<br />

this point lets out a chuckle.<br />

KATRINA<br />

What so funny father.<br />

MORN<br />

O nothing you kids just reminding<br />

me of the old days when I used to<br />

come up her with-<br />

MORN trails off and stops talking all together and begins to<br />

walk again.


18<br />

MORN<br />

Let's ke<strong>ep</strong> going we've waisted<br />

enough time the army's got to right<br />

on our heels.<br />

WENDAL nods and follows behind morn with KATRINA on his<br />

back.<br />

A few hours past and path opened up to reveal the<br />

breathtaking view of mountain range silhouetted against the<br />

scarlet sky of the setting sun.<br />

Kat.<br />

Ya.<br />

WENDAL<br />

KATRINA<br />

WENDAL<br />

What happed to your mother?<br />

KATRINA doesn't say anything.<br />

WENDAL<br />

It alright if you don't want to<br />

talk about it.<br />

KATRINA<br />

The Mugos took her.<br />

WENDAL stops for a moment as he recalls his first encounter<br />

with a Mugo the strange black and the whisper. They continue<br />

to walk in silence.<br />

EXT. PILGRIMS PASS HIGH IN THE ARNOR MOUNTAINS NIGHT<br />

A dog digs through the dirt franticly.<br />

SOLDIER<br />

Sir, without the scouts we have no<br />

way of knowing the targets<br />

location.<br />

I aware.<br />

RONNOC<br />

SOLDIER<br />

Then why are we stopped. shouldn't<br />

we be trying to close the distance<br />

between us and them?<br />

RONNOC<br />

Soldier what do you see.


19<br />

SOLDIER<br />

Sir, it a sink hole there quite<br />

common here during the wet season.<br />

RONNOC<br />

Tsk Tsk Tsk you see your to closed<br />

minded you have to learn to look at<br />

everything with a more open mind.<br />

SOLDIER<br />

How do you mean sir?<br />

RONNOC<br />

Well for starters what do you think<br />

happened here there's been no rain<br />

these past couple days so it being<br />

natural is out of the question.<br />

SOLDIER<br />

Perhaps a stray rock fell or a<br />

creature of some sort came past.<br />

RONNOC<br />

Your making assumptions instead of<br />

observations. Look do you see any<br />

animal tracks or bolder's.<br />

SOLDIER<br />

No sir, but if not then what?<br />

RONNOC<br />

Well find out soon enough<br />

The dog stops digging and pulls up a pair of boots.<br />

RONNOC<br />

It seems someone's lost their boots<br />

soldier it be dangerous for them to<br />

walk this bath bare foot don't you<br />

think we should return them?<br />

SOLDIER<br />

Your a true gentleman sir.<br />

RONNOC<br />

Common boys we don't want to ke<strong>ep</strong><br />

the lady waiting.<br />

The dog starts running and close behind the rest of the army<br />

follows.<br />

RONNOC (V.O.)<br />

RONNOC (V.O.) (CONT'D)<br />

catch them at the grove lets hope<br />

my little insurance plan could make<br />

it there without he boots.<br />

EXT. THE SACRED GROVE NIGHT<br />

The group enters a small patch of trees that then opens up<br />

into a large grove of flowers with a latge pond in the<br />

center. The field is alight with fire flies and the light of<br />

the fool moon gives the grove an angelic atmosphere.<br />

WENDAL<br />

We made it!<br />

KATRINA<br />

(Excitedly)<br />

Quick let me down I want to feel<br />

the grass between my toes.<br />

WENDAL<br />

Alright alright give me a sec.<br />

KATRINA run around in the field dancing and frolicking<br />

around. WENDAL watches in amusement before his attention is<br />

shifted to MORN who walked up next to him.<br />

MORN<br />

This was her favorite place.<br />

WENDAL<br />

Still looks like it is.<br />

MORN<br />

I'm talking about my wife.<br />

O<br />

WENDAL<br />

MORN<br />

We were on our way back from a<br />

picnic in the county side I had one<br />

two many beers and didn't notice<br />

the smell that comes right before<br />

they show up.<br />

WENDAL<br />

The Mugo's?<br />

MORN<br />

Ya those monsters. Anyway I wasn't<br />

paying attention and before I knew<br />

it I was out cold. When I woke up I<br />

surprised I wasn't on some steak<br />

21<br />

MORN (CONT'D)<br />

being roasted over a fire I thought<br />

we lucked out I was thanking the<br />

gods when I turned around to see a<br />

Mugo had taken the spot my wife<br />

was. It looked at me with those<br />

holes for eyes and I thought I<br />

heard I heard my wife whisper "Why"<br />

"Why didn't you protect me". I ran<br />

back to the tavern and never left<br />

the city walls again.<br />

Mr. Mo-<br />

WENDAL<br />

MORN<br />

Don't mention it kid. Listen Im<br />

going to check the exit you ke<strong>ep</strong> an<br />

eye on me daughter and do what I<br />

couldn't for her mother.<br />

WENDAL<br />

Of course.<br />

MORN<br />

Good then I'll leave you too it.<br />

To what?<br />

WENDAL<br />

WENDAL looks over to see KATRINA standing by the lake the<br />

light of the moon reflecting of the pond onto her face and<br />

along with the assortment of flowers now in her hair she<br />

looked like something strait out of a story book.<br />

MORN<br />

(Whispers)<br />

I'm sorry<br />

WENDAL<br />

What was that?<br />

MORN<br />

Nothing now get going she not going<br />

to wait forever.<br />

MORN Walks off leaving WENDAL alone with KATRINA. WENDAL<br />

walks over to KATRINA side. They both silenty stare into the<br />

pond.<br />

KATRINA<br />

Thanks for caring me.


22<br />

WENDAL<br />

What that it was no big deal.<br />

KATRINA<br />

No I mean it.<br />

KATRINA takes a st<strong>ep</strong> towards WENDAL.<br />

KATRINA<br />

Listen I was wondering... I was<br />

wondering if I could thank you.<br />

Thank me?<br />

WENDAL<br />

KATRINA<br />

(embarrassed)<br />

You know like a...kiss?<br />

A whaa<br />

WENDAL<br />

KATRINA<br />

Listen I don't know but I feel like<br />

I owe you something you've done so<br />

much for me and my father so please<br />

let me thank you.<br />

Alright.<br />

WENDAL<br />

As KATRINA leans in WENDLE notices a glint of a mattalic<br />

objet and spins KATRINA around and sheilding her with is<br />

back. The arrow imbeds inself into his back it isn't in de<strong>ep</strong><br />

but it is painful.<br />

WENDAL<br />

You alright.<br />

KATRINA nods. Another arrow strikes a few feet away WENDAL<br />

only had a few moments to react but he pushed KATRINA to the<br />

ground just as the main volley of 25 archers came down and<br />

impacted against his back. WENDAL in pain try's to assess<br />

the situation as the remaining RONNOC forces encircle him<br />

and KATRINA. WENDAL franticly look for a way to escape but<br />

the barrage of arrows has left him injured.<br />

RONNOC<br />

I'm not partial to surprise attacks<br />

there's no glory to be gained in<br />

killing an unaware opponent. You<br />

however aren't a normal opponent.


23<br />

WENDAL<br />

Who are you!<br />

RONNOC<br />

Who am I where are my manners.<br />

Takes off his helmet.<br />

RONNOC<br />

I'm general RONNOC RYNHART<br />

commander of the great Arnor army.<br />

And who might you be boy<br />

WENDAL.<br />

WENDAL<br />

RONNOC<br />

Well WENDAL you are herby sentenced<br />

to death for affiliation with the<br />

Erros kingdom, murder and assault<br />

of multiple Arnorian soldiers and<br />

one count of poaching in the kings<br />

mountains. How do you plead.<br />

WENDAL says nothing his mind racing looking for possible<br />

escapes.<br />

WENDALS in shock<br />

RONNOC<br />

I see what your trying to do your<br />

like a animal backed up into the<br />

corner, but unlike a wild animal<br />

you won't do anything at the<br />

expense of her life will you.<br />

WENDAL<br />

You leave her out of this.<br />

RONNOC<br />

I intend to her father and I made a<br />

deal your life for hers.<br />

KATRINA<br />

No your lying my father would never<br />

do somthing like that.<br />

RONNOC<br />

O he made it very clear that he was<br />

willing to do anything to ke<strong>ep</strong> you<br />

safe. You grab her and restrain her<br />

well deliver her to her father<br />

after this whole ordeal is over.


24<br />

The Soldier goes over to try and apprehend KITRINA but is<br />

bet with a swift punch to the gut crumpling his armor and<br />

cough up blood before colapsing on the floor dead.<br />

WENDAL<br />

I said leave her out of this.<br />

WENDAL picks up a sword.<br />

WENDAL<br />

Let say we settle this me and you.<br />

RONNOC<br />

O your challenging me to a duel.<br />

WENDAL<br />

Ya and if I win you turn tail and<br />

go back to were you came.<br />

RONNOC<br />

I have a better idea why don't we<br />

just try to kill eachother and the<br />

winner lives I've seen a lot of<br />

your types always with your<br />

compromises.<br />

WENDAL<br />

Fine by me.<br />

WENDAL lunges forward with all his speed and strength poised<br />

to kill RONNOC but he stoped short by the spears of the<br />

knights. The spears cut through him.<br />

RONNOC<br />

I never agreed to fight you I'd be<br />

foolish to try to take on the God<br />

of Erros on even if he isn't fully<br />

realized.<br />

WENDAL<br />

What are you talking about.<br />

RONNOC<br />

You mean you didn't know the very<br />

message you were tasked with<br />

delivering?<br />

WENDAL<br />

What message?<br />

WENDAL is barely remaining consciousness as his blood flows<br />

form his wounds.


25<br />

RONNOC<br />

Emits Green the Eross spy was<br />

tasked with finding the old god of<br />

erros who was prophesize<br />

to return after 6,000 years. It's<br />

you WENDLE the wondering god.<br />

WENDAL slips out of Consciousness and is met with a light.<br />

UNKOWN VOICE<br />

Great Wonder of worlds the time has<br />

come to return once again. Go to<br />

your people and give them hope.<br />

WENDAL suddenly awakens to find himself floating in the lake<br />

his wounds are gone and his clothing has been r<strong>ep</strong>laced with<br />

armor.<br />

UNKOWN VOICE<br />

Take in your hand your sword and<br />

use the powers of these holy<br />

grounds and cleave the land in two<br />

end the war and usher in a new area<br />

of peace for your people.<br />

WENDAL unsheathes the blade and with a swift slash cleaves<br />

the entire content split down the boarder. General RONNOC<br />

army was engulfed by the splitting earth leaving only RONNOC<br />

to retreat back onto the mountain defeated and disgraced.<br />

The contents became two and with his remaining power called<br />

oppon the tides of the great ocean to push the continent<br />

away form each other. The only people remaining on what left<br />

in the sacred grove is WENDAL, KATRINA and MORN.<br />

KATRINA nods<br />

KATRINA<br />

Your... Your...<br />

A god<br />

WENDAL<br />

MORN<br />

Forgive me for I only wish to<br />

protect my daughter.<br />

WENDAL<br />

All is forgiven you only did what<br />

you could to ke<strong>ep</strong> your daughter<br />

safe.


26<br />

KATRINA<br />

So what now?<br />

WENDAL<br />

Now I think my people will enjoy<br />

some much needed rest.<br />

And you.<br />

KATRINA<br />

WENDAL<br />

I'll wake up and return to being a<br />

normal kid till the next time this<br />

world needs me.<br />

KATRINA<br />

So it could be a while.<br />

WENDAL<br />

I think so.<br />

KATRINA<br />

Well I still never got to thank<br />

you.<br />

WENDAL<br />

Whats ke<strong>ep</strong>ing you.<br />

KATRINA<br />

Easy there you may be a god but<br />

your not above modesty.<br />

WENDAL<br />

Sorry I thought it would sound-<br />

KITRINA kisses WENDAL<br />

KATRINA<br />

Goodbye WENDAL untill next time.<br />

The Alarm clock is blaring WENDAL hits the snooze button and<br />

rolls over. Mom enters room.<br />

THE END<br />

MOM<br />

WENDAL<br />
