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 />
(MORE)
2<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 />

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 />

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 />

RONNOC (V.O.)<br />
This is it the empires greatest<br />
threat is about to meet his match.

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 />

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 />
(MORE)
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 />
