KNIGHT: I'm really surprised by your courage for today, my dear squire, for your loyalty. You know that all the cunning in the world is too little for someone who decides to face a dragon. Let us be recognized as beings who carry a certain glory by eliminating the danger of the surroundings of this kingdom! We will become legends!
SQUIRE: But what a boast! What vanity! They barely think of their lives and want a reputation! Well, look at that dense grove, there are verdant grasses with fresh air and fruit-bearing orchards down there and a deep lake, with crystal clear water full of floating flowers, that's where I wanted to be...!
KNIGHT: Well, stop being silly! Then when we find the entrance to the cave, you come right behind me. The other knights will be coming soon!
[The knight and squire stop on the way and talk to the other knights in the group]:
KNIGHT: Knight, it's with great dexterity that we are here to deal with a fearful destiny th

SCENE 14: THE RED FOREST
PRINCESS: As this forest sometimes seems obscure to me… My horse is strong enough to ride all day, but here I haven't found my dear and beloved animal. It hurts me to know that my horse may be lost in this long forest full of tall trees whose fallen flowers are red and that I will never see it again. I've heard so many different stories here... The tales of the village say that there are elves and fairies who sing and dance on circles on festive nights and that only those of sensitive hearts can hear them. I imagine these creatures with wings of butterflies very magnificent, with garments of pearls and flowers, flying a meter from the ground. I've heard of elves who delight in playing flutes happily with their splendid music... Here next there must be an orchard for me to reap delicious fruits... How beautiful is the nature! I see the sunlight penetrating through the leaves and illuminating it with a soft glow... I smell the flowers with their vibrant petals. I hear the
SCENE 15: THE DISAPPEARANCE OF THE PRINCESS
QUEEN: Where is the princess? I don't find her in the castle since yesterday... PRINCE: I didn’t see her. QUEEN: Knights! PRINCE: I will summon some of my knight to seek her. KNIGHT: Yes, Majesty. QUEEN: I summon the knights of the kingdom for a search for our princess who has been missing since yesterday. Search the village, the woods, the forests, everywhere you can... KNIGHT: Yes, Majesty. FOOL: It’s simple, look at the prince, so sensitive, he looks so angelic. But inside is still a demon in disguise. The one who contemplates the funeral poetry, but feels so fragile and ends up letting down the only opportunity he has to reach the flight to the top of his consciousness and from above see a paradise. And in fact, he's still afraid and falls down there. The angels warn them that he feels pain, but he denies surrender. So s
SCENE 16: THE PRAY FOR THE MISSING ONE
[In the church]: TROUBADOUR: Priest, I just know that the young lady called Isabel is missing since before yesterday, we can make a pray for her and warn the church. PRIEST: A young lady missing? Let’s, yes, pray. [...] My respectful gentleman who came to this church and look for salvation to yours souls... Souls who are tied in the sin chains and need to be free. [...] Once, a young man saw himself lost in a devil tortuous path. He used to be usury and was blamed by his own boss. He was lost in sin, for he doesn’t regret his own acts, but one day he lost his wife and children and felt so hungry until he made a confession to the church. What there is to us is that many are lost in this world. Not lost because they don’t find the way back to their homes, but lost because they’re not devoting their lives to get to Kingdom’s heaven and loose themselves in the darkness of sins. Imagine the eternal condemnation. Imagine thos
SCENE 17: THE FEAST
TROUBADOUR: Party, big food, drink, music... All I deserve... So, what do you think of this feast? ALCHEMIST: You know that I await your songs, my good companion. But I sometimes feel dread in a series of doubts about the future of this kingdom, because I knew of the princess's disappearance this morning when I went to church. TROUBADOUR: A group of knights and subjects of the queen went to fetch her on the road. Well, my young alchemist, what are the doubts that frighten you? ALCHEMIST: Well, I don't know what will become of tomorrow with so many near wars... It seems that the ambition of man has destroyed the dreams of the humblest children and that wars have cursed our kingdom with the venom of discord. I hardly know what to think... It's like what I heard from the priest, many are really lost, even though they are in their homes... TROUBADOUR: They say that the end is near and that we wil
SCENE 18: THE PRINCESS RETURN
[The princess comes back to the castle]. PRINCESS: Stepmother, after a long trip, I came back to the castle. I believe I’ve lost my dear horse, because I didn’t find him. He was a gift from my dead mother… QUEEN: What? You know you should never leave my castle without previous warning, we sent knights to look for you. We thought you were missing… PRINCESS: I’m sorry for the occurred. I left hurry the castle with one of the horses to look for mine… QUEEN: How dare you to cause this fright in your own family? Well, if you’re looking for your horse, he’s dead. PRINCESS: Oh! [Gasp]. How do you know? QUEEN: Well, I believe you’re too young to be so frightened with a simple animal. There are more important things which we should care about, than to use our time to be sad about it… PRINCESS: What? What are you tal
SCENE 19: RITUAL VICTIM
PRINCESS: I don’t believe it was a gift from my mother, fruit of a legend… [cry]. QUEEN: Calm down… Before all, your dear brother has something to confess to you, please, don’t cry… […]. A long time ago a curse came to the realm: children went to the battles armed with swords, shields and helmets, to wake up a heretic woman who wanted the people as a slave to her privileges. Many gods of black magic took other souls and made them lawful prisons of their ambitions. The corrupted soul of the others donates animal’s blood sacrificed for the food of the Coniferous God. PRINCESS: What happened to Filipe? QUEEN: These days, after riding with some subjects around the village looking for him, Filipe felt very sick and we called a medico to help him. We find out that he has something terrible. PRINCESS: What happened? What does he has? QUEEN: Filipe has syphilis. <
SCENE 20: THE SERMON AND EPIDEMIC
PRIEST: Respectable ladies and gentlemen of this church, I want to tell you about a terrible evil: we're in the shadow of an epidemic. God reveals punishment to disobedient men who don't feel ashamed for their filthy sins. The disease has come to punish those who do not surrender to the way of heaven! Remember that Adam and Eve in eating the forbidden fruit were kicked out of the Eden's Garden. Remember that fornicators are punished by God with the plague! There are lustful sorceresses in this village who bring the curse to this sacred realm! Lost are the souls of those who don't follow the way of the church! Lost are the filthy beings that let the evils of the devil spread out in their houses, making the feast and taking the human being into darkness, into a path full of dark! The holy book condemns fornicators! Remember: God knows all things and punishes those who don't follow his word! The disease is then divine punishment! Repent of every evil! Repent before it's too late!
SCENE 21: THE PRINCESS ESCAPE
PRINCESS: How horrible! How absurd! At this moment I see on the horizon an image of how angels fall from the sky like birds that can't fly and it's like if I was one more among them... Falling into an abyss... Like a shipwreck... There are those who lie in the Kingdom of the Dead and their bodies perishing to this world, inhabit the bottom of the oceans with their hearts heavy as rough diamonds. An anger inside me arises, an aversion. Something so negative takes care of me to the point that I feel like killing who wants to do evil to me. I can't believe this cruelty! I can't believe that someone is so stupid as to want to sacrifice a life in the name of their evil rituals... For me they are no more than fools who worship destruction! I feel a bitterness inside and sadness at the same time... Now the pain makes me throb and takes care of me until I arrive, wanting to tear me with tears! Anguish arises and becomes a shadow of insanity, consuming me like a flame
