[ Near the river]

Princess Bronwen guards come to Marion and Kora

Hm- Guards

Guards leave

Kora nods

As Marion and Kora were going to Marion's home, they saw Bronwen and Calos playing in the river.

Marion feels a liitle jealous seeing Bronwen playing with Calos

You can go and play with them Marion, I'll handle the arrangements- Kora

No, I was just looking I have no interest in playing with them and also I'm the chief so it's my job to make the arrangements - Marion

Kora smiles and holds Marion's hand

Come with me - Kora

There's no need for this- Marion

Kora smiles to Marion and leaves

Bronwen and Calos continue to play in the river.

Bronwen looks at Marion

What are you waiting for? Come in the river- Bronwen

No I can't my father always told me to only play in the water when you are alone- Marion

I don't care what your father said, I'm ordering you to come in the river- Bronwen

But, but- Marion

Bronwen signals her guards to push Marion in the water.

The guards push Marion in the river

They start playing in the river.

Calos splashes water on Bronwen

Marion splashes water on Calos

Bronwen splashes water on Marion

They continue playing in the river.

After half an hour

I'm hungry Calos- Bronwen

What do you want to eat, Bronwen? Calos

I'll eat what you make - Bronwen

Ok, I'll cook wild boar- Calos

Bronwen smiles

Calos smiles

You can cook? Marion

Of course he can, I really love foods cooked by his hands- Bronwen

Wow- Marion

He is the best cook in the world- Bronwen

Really? Now I also want to eat the meat of the wild boar cooked by your hand lord Claos- Marion

Hm- Calos

But I don't think you'll find a wild boar in the forest near village- Marion

Me and some of the villagers went there last month but we didn't find any- Marion

Calos smirks and pats Marion

Don't worry I can sense some wild boars in that forest- Claos

Marion's face turns red and she blushes

Calos teleports to the forest

Have your friend prepared a place to stay for me? Bronwen

Yes princess, I'm sure she must have- Marion

Marion takes Bronwen to her house

You guys are here, Where's lord Calos? Kora

He went to hunt wild boars for princess Bronwen- Marion

Oh- Kora

Princess we have prepared everything for your stay- Mort

Hm- Bronwen

They show Princess Bronwen her room.

It looks good but where's the ebony wooden bed? Bronwen

We can't afford that princess- Marion

Bronwen gets a little sad

We don't have a bed but we have created this woolen mattress specially for you princess- Kora

Mort, Marion and villagers nod

They show her the mattress.

Hm ok- Bronwen

Kora, Mort, Marion and villagers smile

Thank you princess- Marion

Kora serves honey cakes to Princess Bronwen

Please have some- Marion

Hm- Bronwen

Bronwen's guards take some bite to check if the food is safe or not.

Its safe princess- Guards

Hm- Bronwen

Bronwen's guards start feeding the honey cakes to Bronwen

How is it, Princess? Marion and Kora

Surprisingly it's better than i thought it would be- Bronwen ( in her mind)

Its edible- Bronwen

Marion, Kora, Mort and the villagers smile

Thank you princess- Marion , Kora, Mort and the villagers

Princess Bronwen continues to eat the honey cakes

Mort and the villagers leave

Princess Bronwen can you tell me how you and Lord Calos are so close- Marion

Who are you? What makes you think that you can ask me that or anything? Bronwen

Sorry princess- Marion

Just because Calos is nice to you and your people doesn't mean that you can think of yourself as equal to me or him- Bronwen

I'm really sorry princess- Marion

A village guard enters Marion's house

Chief - Village guards screams

Marion and Kors come to him

Princess Bronwen and her guards also come to see what happened.

What happened ? Marion

Barbarians, Barbarians are here - Villager guard

What??? Marion and Kora

Villager guard screams and dies

Hey, Hey wake up- Kora

It's no use, he is dead - Bronwen's guard#4

I should warn the villagers- Marion

Kora nods

Just as Marion was about to warn the villagers about barbarians attack.

A villager screams.

They have already entered the village- Marion

Kora nods

More villagers scream

Go and protect those villagers- Bronwen to her guards

Sorry Princess Bronwen but our main priority is to protect you- Bronwen's Guards

Yes princess- Bronwen's guards

Bronwen's guards start protecting the villagers from barbarians.

We should also protect the villagers- Marion

Kora nods

Before Marion, Kora and Princess Bronwen could exit Marion's house some barbarians forcefully enter the Marion's house

Barbarians look at Marion, Kora and Princess Bronwen

Wow some tasty target- Leader of Barbarians

Marion shields Kora and Princess

I'm Sinra , I'm the leader - Leader of Barbarians

Marion and Kora start remembering the previous barbarians attack raid in which they lost many of their close ones and especially Marion lost her father.

Tears start to drop from Marion's and Kora's eyes.

Wow, Did I kill any of your family members before? Sinra

You don't remember - Marion and Kora

Sinra and Barbarians start laughing

I have killed so many people that I don't even remember most of them- Sinra

Oh-Marion

Marion takes out her sword and attacks Sinra but before it could hit him Sinra takes out his sword and cuts Marion's sword in half.

Sinra and barbarians laugh

A weakling like you shouldn't carry a sword- Barbarian#4

Finish them and take that girl ( referring to Kora) we will enjoy her today- Sinra

Barbarians smile

Run Kora,I'll stop them - Marion

I'll not leave you alone- Kora

Take the Princess Bronwen with you too- Marion

I said I'm not leaving you alone- Kora

You never listen to me- Marion

Why should I? Kora

Princess Bronwen please run, We will stop them for sometime- Kora and Marion

No I'm not running- Princess Bronwen

Oh, So there is a princess between us, Leader - Barbarian#5

Yep, I was suspecting that this little girl could be a princess but this girl ( referring to Kora) is so beautiful that I couldn't see anything beside her- Sinra

Agree - Barbarians

Well we'll take this princess with us too, I'm sure she will become very beautiful in future and then we will all enjoy her - Sinra

Agree - Barbarians

A barbarian tries to attack Bronwen but Marion takes out another sword and blocks it.

Please princess run- Marion

Bronwen tries to run but before she could run barbarians surround them

You can't run- Barbarian#2

A barbarian breaks Marion's sword and kicks her.

Marion slams the ground

Kora and Princess run to Marion

Are you ok? Kora

Marion nods

Finish him, Finish him- Barbarians

Hm- Barbarian#1

Barbarian tries to attack Marion again but Bronwen shields her

Calos- Bronwen ( screams)

A ball of light appears and it starts absorbing the life force of the barbarians and their leader Sinra and also burns their body

Barbarians and their leader continue to scream.

Barbarians and their leader body gets reduced to atoms

Marion, Kora and Bronwen smile

Calos- Bronwen

Bronwen hugs Calos

Did they scare you,Bronwen? Calos

Nah, I knew you would never let anyone harm me- Bronwen

Bronwen smiles

Calos smiles

Calos looks at Marion and Kora

Thank you for saving us Lord Calos- Marion and Kora

Hm- Calos

Hm- Calos

The ball of light comes back to Calos and he absorbs it

The guards of Bronwen come back

How are the villagers? Marion

They are good, Lord Calos's killed all the barbarians so now Mort is treating the villagers- Bronwen's guards

Good- Marion and Kora

Marion hugs Calos

Hm- Calos

Calos shows them the meat of wild boars

Calos picks up Bronwen

Bronwen kisses Calos on cheek

Bronwen smiles

Calos smiles

Kora smiles

But seeing Bronwen kissing Calos makes her feel weird

I also want to kiss him - Marion ( in her mind)

Nooo, Control yourself , Two men can't kiss- Marion ( in her mind)

Calos starts cooking the meat of wild boars

Can I invite the whole village to eat it? Marion

Hm- Calos

Marion smiles

Lullaby? Marion

Yes- Bronwen

Princess never sleeps without a lullaby- Guard of Bronwen whisper to Marion

Oh- Marion

But your highness why me? I mean I'm a man shouldn't you ask a woman to do that? Marion

You sound like a woman so I don't really care- Bronwen

Marion's face turns red

Really? Marion

Calos and other maids and Bronwen's guards nod

Kora and others have also told me that I should like a girl, I have tried many things to improve my voice and sound like a man, I even asked Mort to help me but it all failed- Marion

Oh - Bronwen's guards

I don't care about your personal things- Bronwen

Sorry your highness- Marion

Come and sing me a lullaby- Bronwen

Yes, Your highness- Marion

Bronwen lay down on the mattress

Marion starts singing a lullaby

Bronwen slaps Marion

Marion stops singing the lullaby

Sorry your highness- Marion

Before Bronwen could finish her sentence Marion interrupts her

Yes your highness- Marion

Bronwen again slaps Marion

Don't interrupt me- Bronwen

I'm sorry your highness- Marion

Hm- Bronwen

Your highness, Can I sing you the lullaby which every mother sings for her child in this village- Marion

Hm- Bronwen

Marion starts singing the lullaby

A Lullaby for the Princess

Hush, my moonbeam, my little starlight

The palace sleeps in the coming night.

The silver lamps have been dimmed and banked,

And even the silent stones are tanked.

With the peace that settles in the dark.

The wind outside makes its gentle mark,

On the cypress trees, a quiet sigh.

As the last of the day's bright colors fly.

So close your eyes, my darling one.

Your day of royal tasks is done.

Forget the lessons of the scribe.

The lists of tributes from every tribe.

The names of kings and ancient wars,

The polished marble of the floors.

Let go of worries, small and vast,

The sun has set, the day is past.

Remember only the sound of my song,

And the loving hands that keep you strong.

Think of the garden and the gentle breeze,

Rustling the leaves of the olive trees.

Soon, you'll sail the sea of dreams,

Past whispering rivers and moonlit streams.

You'll ride a horse of milky mist,

Its mane a cloud that the stars have kissed.

You'll walk through forests of sapphire light,

Where friendly lions keep watch all night.

And when you find a perfect place,

To lay your head in tranquil grace.

I'll be there, a whisper in the air,

A silent promise, a loving prayer.

So sleep now, child of the sun and moon.

My precious one, my dearest boon.

The gods have set their watch for you,

To keep you safe the whole night through.

Your destiny is a path of gold,

A story waiting to be told.

But for tonight, there is no crown,

Just a sleepy head on a pillow of down.

Hush, my princess, hush and dream,

Drift on the quiet, silver stream.

Bronwen falls asleep.

Marion smiles

Princess really looks very cute while sleeping - Marion

May Hypnos grant you gentle sleep, Princess- Marion
