ACT 1
SCENE 1
A Ragged Person and Bejeweled lady are sitting next to a fit man with a bow and a quiver (Bowman) at a pub.
BEJEWELED LADY:
We want you, umm... actually, you were secretive about yourself so all we know about you is that you work in the shadows and you're very good at whatever murdering job you do. Anyway, we want you to...eliminate any problems we encounter on our...job.
BOWMAN:
Hmmm...I wonder what you're doing.
Bowman rolls eyes.
BOWMAN:
Anyway, tell me who you are first.
BEJEWELED LADY:
I am a magician, using a branch of magic unseen to most people. I have the ability to manipulate objects, especially an animals will.
She demonstrates this by making Bowman's chair levitate, then makes it spin in a circle and makes it come back down, by accident making the chair face away from the gypsy and the ragged man. Bowman awkwardly waits for a second and scoots the chair back noisily.
BOWMAN:
So who are you, rag?
RAGGED MAN:
I am an master of disguises.
BOWMAN:
Hilarious.
RAGGED MAN:
I kid not. 10 minutes and the right materials, I could make you a diplomat, a pop star, a king, a priest, a-
(Bowman interrupts)
BOWMAN:
I got it.
MAGICIAN:
So, who are you?
BOWMAN:
I am a mist. It is not magic, but I can seep through everything. Including security.
MAGICIAN:
So will you join us?
BOWMAN:
Not until I know what you're doing.
MAGICIAN:
Follow us.
BOWMAN:
Not ri-
Bowman's laces tie very tight, and then his boots fly a foot up. a rag clumps into a ball and shoves itself in Bowman. Bowman reaches for his bow but a chair whacks him in the head and knocks him out.
ACT 1
Scene 2
Bowman wakes up in a cart, shakes his head, tries to speak without remembering that there's a gag in his mouth. He tries to get up, but winces and goes back down. he feels himself lifting as the Magician...lifts him.
MAGICIAN:
How ya doing?
Bowman gurgles and points to his gag.
MAGICIAN:
Sorry.
The gag is lifted from Bowman's mouth with a pop. Bowman jumps out of the cart, bow and arrow ready to fire.
BOWMAN:
Where are we?!?!
MAGICIAN:
I'm afraid I can't tell you that. You never got around to telling us your name. What is it?
BOWMAN:
I'm afraid I can't tell you that.
Bowman fires bow at Magician's heart but the arrow is raised landing next to Magician head.
MAGICIAN:
Now that wasn't very nice now was it?
Magician pulls out a feather,throws it on the ground. The feather starts flaming and transforms itself into a phoenix with a half invisible fire around it. Bowman pulls out three arrows and fires them through the phoenix, setting them on fire. The Magician thrusts an open palm towards the arrows emanating a glassy purple pulse that spreads out to touch the walls of the room, all while the pulse quickly moves towards Bowman. When the pulse touches the arrows are pushed back sending them firing at Bowman. Bowman ducks and rolls under the phoenix while pulling a samurai sword from his back. Once past the phoenix, Bowman deflects the arrow with the machete in a slow-motion swipe. When the pulse hits Bowman, he slams into the wall behind him and falls unconscious.
MAGICIAN:
Goodbye.
Magician throws indistinguishable shiny object on the ground and smoke flourishes around him.
ACT 1
Scene 3
Magician, Disguise Master, Bowman and a scribe are in a moving donkey cart.
MAGICIAN:
Sorry Bazyli again about the fight. I forgot my sleep spell. So you remember the plan, right?
BAZYLI:
Yes,Makaila Gluken. Scribe?
SCRIBE:
I wrote your whole story, (winks) Bowman.
RAGGED MAN:
Are you ready?
BAZYLI:
Go over the plan once more, Demuritus.
ACT 1
Scene 4
Scene changes to an altar.
DEMERITUS:
The altar has nearly all the money in Peritis due to the humongous amounts of donations. And almost completely undefended. Two guards and twenty falcons are the only thing defending a mass of gold and jewels and early retirement! So what we're going to do is M. will make a portal from here to the falcon's cages, causing them to be crazed and useless defenders. B. will take out the two guards, disguised as a priest curtsy of me. Then Viola! We're in the Greek equivalent of the Bahamas.
BAZLYI:
Alright. Let's do this!
ACT 2
Scene 1
Two bulky men are in a room with falcons in cages beside them. The men are also holding spears and have their backs to a feather-encrusted door. Then a light appears in the cages causing the falcons inside to FREAK out. This then causes one guard to check the perimeter and another to try to contain the falcons unsuccessfully. A howl echos through the room and the other guard goes to check. There is another howl. Some magicians come and cast a light to see what happened. In the midst of the group, you can barely recognize M. in the clump of magicians. She opens the feather-encrusted door in a way that no one notices and comes back with a clinking heavy sack. One apprentice notices, tries to warn the magicians, and *poof* is gone. Then a arrow whizzes past the archmages head and you can plainly see "LEAVE" written in feathers across the arrow. The archmage opens a giant portal that all the magicians fall into except for M. standing on a small pillar of stone with void around her, against the archmage. M. grabs a bit of soil and a seed, throws them,then fires a purple blast that surrounds the soil and seed and suddenly a bridge made out of vines appears across the void. The archmage snaps his fingers and a fireball streaks down the bridge, obviously intended for M. but is deflected with an wall of water. The remaining water extinguishes the flame and splashes the archmage in the face. The stone beneath the archmage is pulled up violently and wrapped around the bridge, securing it. The archmage pulls up the ground beneath him, using it as a shield. It turns to magma and you can hear a scream. A purple haze forms around the magma and it explodes, revealing a scorch faced man, and the archmage grabs a piece of the bridge, which glows purple for a second then fades. He then bends the piece of bridge into a pole shape. The bridge does the same. He then throws the piece of bridge at the ground that M. is standing on. The bridge does the same. M. falls and the bridge lands on top of her and crushes her.
BOWMAN:
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
The archmage turns and B. fires an arrow at him and the archmage's last sight is that of an arrow to his brain. A another group of mages come, see the archmage, look in the direction of the arrow and see B. They fire purple bolts at the pillar he hides behind, each with explosive charge, obliterating the last thing it touches. B. tries to shoot an arrow at one of the magicians, but a bad aim shoots his head clean off. In the meanwhile, the archmage is slowly turning into a humongous purple aura and the portal disappears. D. goes over to the archmage and tries, from the little he learned from the Magician, to destroy the archmage's body firing a beam at him but it hits the aura. Blinding flash of white light.
ACT 2
Scene 2
It shows a scholar writing.
SCHOLAR:
Our current theory is that three people tried to take the stash and one of them killed the archmage. Another tried to take out the body, but hit the aura, which amplified the explosion approximately 1,000,000 times, effectively destroying the Mesopotamian and the goddess herself had to intervene and restored Mesopotamia, minus the criminals, of course. The only reason we know about this is that a small patch of gold opened up and the archmage's aura told us all that he knew. That piece of gold was buried in honor of the many years he served us in our magic military. Fin.
