Act I Scene 1

::Enter Chorus::

Chorus:
Erie Kingdom is the set's final name
where this great tale begins to shape and form.
The fates unite to duel for glor'us fame,
and the people live, die and are reborn.
An young dukeling ascending to his prime
the younger ones does he decide to teach
but the children in not their merry time
take from him the learning within their reach.

For in this land a war does brew of hate,
and men and demons over souls debate.

::Exunt Chorus::

::Enter Euphus and Kreipus::

Euphus:
Our master would sure dislike our being
out on such an unpleasant day in town.
I can think of little excuse for him
to explain our continued absence.

Kreipus:
Hush!
He shall not care that we are gone from him.
He craves his sleep and talks to walls at will.
Wherefor do we need to speak now to walls?
Am I to erect a monument just
to hear it speak vague prophecy to me?
For sooth! I would erect my wooden pole,
and let the ladies of town prophesy
to my life, happiness and rich fortune.

Euphus:
Mayhapse I shall a monument erect,
if but for a reason given in gold.

::Enter Erica::

Here is Erica, daughter of Manfred.
The most prosperous man of all the world
has less power than he in free affairs.

Erica:
Good morrow Euphus, I trust you are well.

Euphus:
Indeed I am, fair made of my master.
He wishes to see you if he now may,
your consent to marriage he wants your say.

Erica:
My land is not one so easily picked.
He shall not have me upon my free life.
My choice it is whether I be not his,
my man is Manfred, the pow'rful and true.

Kripus:
Nay, your man is false, not letting us free.
We will lay siege to you, lest you to him
flee.

::Enter Clansman::

Clansman:
Halt! She has the freedom of her choice.
Lay aside your squabbling with this woman,
or I your sword must first be bloodied clean.
She shall chose her own path in this battle,
blood shall not be spilt o'er her choice today.

Euphus:
I see we cans't not win this gloried day,
come with me Kripus we are now away.

::Exunt with Kripus::

Clansman:
You are safe for today from these mad men.
I fear for your safety from their master.
Edvard is not a patient man in all,
he is like to sieze you by force alone.

Erica:
Protect me I hope, as you have just now.
Lest I fall to them, forsaking Manfred.

Clansman:
No fear, thou art safe at my guarded side.
Should they come, I would be ready for them.
No man has yet tested my might and won,

(aside) yet I admit, no man has lost either.
no matter

I await thee, off we go!

::Exunt all::

LMAO :lol: :lol: :lol:

And here's scene's 2 and 3

Act I Scene 2

::Enter Duke Edvard::

Edvard:
My dukedom grows as Lenix sits today.
A power I've become in these affairs
But lovely Erica my bride must be,
For Manfred's power I do desire.

::Enter Count Hencio::

Hencio:
My lord duke, I come with news of distress,
Bearing it is my somber task this day.
Erica has chosen Manfred o'er you
And Clansman in his hatred of your pow'r
Has chosen to defend her right to chose.

Edvard:
Alas! My kinsman friend Count Hencio,
We must to war our bold selves make ready.
For court shall not a slighting as that stand,
We will seize her with a mob.

Hencio:
A wise choice.

Edvard:
Get you our kinsmen. To you go.
Harold, Euphus, Prozio, Spinkus and Cripus,
Get them to Linux quick, council we must.
Whether feud or friendship win Erica.

::Exunt Hencio::

A sorry state does painf'ly to me taunt
When I get not all that I do now want.

::Exunt Edvard::

Act I Scene 3

::Enter Manarcio and Clansman::

::Veirta and Elat spar in background::

Manarcio:
The daughters of Manfred do in this day
Shine beauteous bright o'er the rising sun.
Fair Veirta and Elat their Amazon
virtues show, and soon with sparing be done.

Clansman:
And Erica the fairest of them all,
a pledge I made of her yesterday.
Protect her I shall from all aggression,
Edvard I fear would rob her golden choice.
Manarcio, thou art a child now,
but always honor thou the right to choose.
Manfred is not a friend of mine to take,
But others should be allowed this to do.
Manarcio:
Indeed you speak the truth, and rightous plain.
Ne'er shall I fight for Unus's enemies.
While great Unus's house may not my friend be,
Others shall chose what is the best for them.

Celtsman:
Spoken as one wise beyond your few years,
I fear this will end yet in naught but tears.
Hark! My cattle calls, away I now go.

::Exunt Celtsman::

Manarcio:
Friends shall I here make, but still in good time,
I first must learn what safety shall be mine.

::Exunt Manarcio::

That is something to be proud of, now we need to truely act it out in the ampitheatre.

That is something to be proud of, now we need to truely act it out in the ampitheatre.

Just tell me where to send my actors, and we'll bring the play to you!

Act I Scene 4

::Enter Edvard, he sits at a long table::

Edvard:
What villain is this that disrupts my plans,
I can not stand for him to live longer.
With my kinsmen we shall to him destroy
and I shall have my fair maid Erica.

::Enter Hencio, with Cripus, Euphus and Spinkus. Followed by Harold and Carria::

Edvard: (aside)
At long last all my kin are here with me.
I believe that we shall here sign a pact,
pledging their support to me their leader.

Hencio:
We have assembled all here Duke Edvard.
What shall our coming hither be thus for?

::Edvard Nods to Cripus::

Cripus:
A pact I propose, uniting us friends.
That when one has a grievance it's addressed.

Euphus:
This I second!

Spinkus:
And I second as well.

Carria:
I do not know if this is truly right.
If you are mad I would have to fight.
Yet this kinship blood pact I shall now sign,
We shall unite under you.

Edvard:
Glad I am.
All wish to sign this blood pact between us?

All:
Aye!

Edvard:
Then sign! And we shall rescue my prize.

::All sign sheet, and walk off::


Act I Scene 5

::Enter Manarcio::

Manarcio:
It is for my love that I do now pine.
What I would not do to make her love mine.
Yet her love flows like winter, and I know
not how long till Christmas's sweet warm glow.

::Enter Edvard. He spies Manarcio::

Edvard:
Manarcio, why art thou depressed?
What ill has made you to sit in the snow?

Manarcio:
'Tis winter now upon my humble heart.
Fair Spring, why doest thou shield mine eyes from thee?
For Christmas I would not be soon to part,
but whence it is I simply cannot see.
Warmth love and friendship I do this night crave,
Whilst alone I sit upon gilded throne,
I fear that whist not come until my grave.
Condemned am I, I fear, to die alone.
Yet fair while fair fortune shall not shine on me,
May it bless all who in Christmas now live,
If the day I know not what it be
Still presents I shall have my soul to give.
Whilst now the I do not know the Christmas day,
I hang my stockings the same anyway.

Edvard:
'Tis love that makes you to sit here alone.
Take the love you seek, and happily you be.

Manarcio:
You can not seize spring from the cold winter.
You can not have a Christmas in July.
Wherefore talk you of taking what is
Given not unto you! Be you now gone!

::Exunt Manarcio::

::Enter remainder of seven::

Edvard:
A foolish boy that is, talking of love.

Cripus:
Aye, better to take with force what desire
forces upon you to want above all.

::Erica walks by::

Edvard:
A brave man of action I shall now be,
finding my love and taking her to me.

::Exunt Edvard after Erica::

Harold:
He goes off now to take her does he not?
I wonder how in his quest he shall fare.

::They leave::

::Enter Clansman::

Clansman:
A shriek have I heard. From off there it came.
It I shall find, and make cause do the same.

::Exunt Clansman::
