Scene 4

(Enter Priest.)
(Priest walks across the street from the Bar.)
Priest: …Hmm…If I were a crying girl with guy problems, where would I go?
(Priest looks back at the Bar.)
Priest: No, that can’t be it…Maybe she’s sitting at the creek…
(Exit Priest.)
(Enter Mage.)
(Enter Bartender.)
(Mage is in the Bar, drinking a beer.)
Mage: Hey, Man, thanks for the drink…
Bartender: Guy problems, right?
(A tear rolls down Mage’s face.)
Mage: …Please don’t remind me…
Bartender: Oh, right, sorry.
Mage: …It’s fine…
(Exit Bartender.)
(Enter Priest.)
Priest: Well, she’s not at the creek…
(Mage walks by Priest, and then stops.)
Priest: So, I’m fresh out of ideas…
Mage: …Priest?
Priest: Not now, Mage. I’m trying to think…Now, if I were Mage, where would I be? …Hmm…
Mage: Priest, I’m right here.
Priest: Oh, Mage! There you are! I was looking for you.
Mage: Oh…thank you…but where’s Myrmidon?
(Enter Myrmidon.)
(Myrmidon walks up behind Priest.)
Priest: Well…um…you see, about that…
Mage: …He didn’t care, did he?
Priest: Yeah…sorry…
(Mage sighs in disappointment.)
Mage: I’m sorry for troubling you…I just wish Myrmidon would care, you know?
(Myrmidon snickers to himself.)
Priest: Oh come on…I’m sure Myrmidon would like you…He probably just has to get to know you better…
Myrmidon: Yeah, whatever helps you sleep at night, Bud.
(Mage cries.)
Mage: No he won’t!
Myrmidon: Wow, Mage, although you’re crying again, I have to admit that I admire you for your good sense of logic.
Priest: Hey, that’s not true…
Myrmidon: Do you even realize that I’m standing right here?
Priest: Listen, Mage…I had a similar problem with a girl about a year ago.
(Mage sniffles.)
Mage: …What happened?
Priest: Well…her name was Carrie…Oh, I was in love with her…but for some reason, she never returned my feelings…
Myrmidon: You know, Priest, it only took about one tenth of a second for me to figure out why.
Priest: I asked her out from time to time, but each time, she had a different way of saying “no.” But then, one of her friends told me that Carrie died from some heart attack…which is weird since I could’ve sworn I saw her walking down the street with some other guy just the other day…
Myrmidon: So, that poor girl faked her death just to get away from you? …Man…why didn’t I think of that?
Mage: …Oh…I’m sorry Priest…
Priest: No, it’s okay. I just hope she’s resting well.
Mage: Oh, Priest, I’m sure she’s happy…
Myrmidon: Yeah, now that she’s got a guy who likes her who isn’t Priest.
(Priest turns around, and sees Myrmidon.)
Priest: Myrmidon, there you are! I thought you’d never come back!
Myrmidon: Oh, believe me, Priest, I had that in mind.
(Mage sees Myrmidon, her eyes twinkle, she runs over to Myrmidon, and hugs him with her head on his chest.)
Mage: Myrmidon, I thought I’d never see you again!
(Myrmidon’s eye twitches.)
Myrmidon: Your love…it burns like someone putting out their cigarette against my eye…
Mage: You have no idea how much I missed you…
Myrmidon: Get off me…or you’ll feel your head against my sword instead of my chest…
Priest: How long were you standing there?
Myrmidon: Priest…I beg you…get her off me…please…
Priest: Okay, Mage, you can stop that now.
(Mage quickly lets go, and gets off Myrmidon.)
Mage: Oh! Sorry…
(Mage’s eyes twinkle and she looks into Myrmidon’s eyes.)
Myrmidon: Yeah…you can also stop looking at me like that, Mage.
Mage: Oh…sorry…
Myrmidon: …Must…resist…homicidal urges…
Priest: Anyway, Myrmidon, how long have you been standing there?
Myrmidon: Oh…um…I just got here…why?
Priest: Oh, Mage and I were talking about you.
Myrmidon: You don’t say?
(Enter Crazy Old Man.)
(Crazy Old Man quickly staggers up to Priest with an empty whiskey bottle in his hand.)
Crazy Old Man: …Excuse me, Father?
(Priest quickly turns to Crazy Old Man.)
Priest: Yes?
Crazy Old Man: Did you hear about the invasion on our homeland, Renais?
Priest: Nope.
Myrmidon: Go away, Old Man. You reek of cheap whiskey!
(Crazy Old Man shakes his fist at Myrmidon.)
Crazy Old Man: Listen, Sonny! Our neighbor, Grado, is invading our homeland, and Grado’s soldiers are trying to destroy the Sacred Stones!
Myrmidon: What are you talking about, Old Man?
Crazy Old Man: You know, the Sacred Stones? …The five gems that rid the continent of the Demon King?
Myrmidon: That whiskey’s gotten to your head, Old Man.
Priest: But Myrmidon, what if he’s right?
Myrmidon: Oh come on, Priest. Grado’s been our ally for centuries. Why would they just attack us? It doesn’t make sense!
(Grado soldiers are lighting houses on fire and killing people, and civilians are running and screaming.)
Crazy Old Man: Now do you believe me?
Myrmidon: Those guys could just be as drunk and crazy as you are. Just because they’re lighting buildings on fire and killing innocents, it doesn’t mean they’re invading the country. Why, I remember doing that a few times when I was sober.
(Grado Soldiers #1 and #2 see Myrmidon, Mage, Priest and Crazy Old Man, and run toward them.)
Grado Soldier #1: Hey, You!
Myrmidon: Okay…follow my lead.
(Myrmidon pushes Crazy Old Man on the ground, and runs away.)
(Priest and Mage run after Myrmidon.)
(Myrmidon, Priest and Mage are running out of the town.)
Priest: Where are we going?
Myrmidon: I haven’t planned that far yet.
(Grado Soldiers #1 and #2 are running after Myrmidon, Mage and priest.)
(Myrmidon is wearing a mask of fake glasses, a nose and mustache.)
(Priest and Mage are hiding behind nearby trees.)
(Grado Soldiers #1 and #2 stop at Myrmidon.)
Grado Soldier #2: Excuse me, Sir, but have you seen a swordsman, a mage and a priest from Renais go by here?
Myrmidon: Indeed I have.
(Myrmidon is pointing to his right.)
Myrmidon: The swordsman went that way.
Grado Soldier #1: What about the mage and the priest?
Myrmidon: Oh, those guys? They’re hiding behind those trees.
Grado Soldier #1: Thank you.
(Grado Soldier #2 approaches Priest and Mage.)
(Grado Soldier #1 hands 100 Gold to Myrmidon.)
Grado Soldier #1: Here’s your reward, Good Sir.
(Mage casts a Fire spell, and Grado Soldier #2 starts to combust.)
(Grado Soldier #2 runs around screaming as he’s burning.)
(Grado Soldier #1 quickly turns to Grado Soldier #2.)
Grado Soldier #1: What the—
(Myrmidon quickly stabs Grado Soldier #1 in the spine with his sword and kills him.)
(Grado Soldier #1 falls on the ground, dead.)
(Grado Soldier #2 continues to run and scream as he’s burning, and eventually falls dead, on the ground, covered in third degree burns.)
(Myrmidon walks over to Priest and Mage.)
Myrmidon: Hey, Guys, I have an idea. How about we do that every time we encounter a couple of Grado soldiers?
Mage: …Nay…I say that we just try to avoid Grado soldiers, and try not to piss them off.
Myrmidon: …But my way’s more fun…
Mage: My way’s smarter.
Myrmidon: Since when have we done anything smart since the start of this whole situation?
Priest: Well…what about when we donated our money to those kids?
Myrmidon: Priest…how was I ever able to not kill you?
Priest: …Morals?
Myrmidon: …Yeah…let’s just get going before more soldiers try to capture and/or kill us.
(Myrmidon, Mage and Priest approach another town.)
(Exit Myrmidon.)
(Exit Mage.)
(Exit Priest.)
(Enter Grado Emperor Vigarde.)
(Grado Emperor Vigarde is sitting on his throne in the Grado Keep.)
(Enter Young Grado Subject.)
(Young Grado Subject approaches Grado Emperor Vigarde.)
Young Grado Subject: My emperor, two of our soldiers who were posted in Renais have just been killed!
Grado Emperor Vigarde: What do you know about these murderers?
Young Grado Subject: Well, all we know are their names, and that they’re still traveling about Renais.
Grado Emperor Vigarde: And…what are their names?
(Young Grado Subject reads off a sheet of paper.)
Young Grado Subject: They go by the names of “Myrmidon,” “Priest,” and “Mage.”
Grado Emperor Vigarde: Bring in our three most well-trained cavaliers.
Young Grado Subject: Yes, Milord!
(Young Grado Subject leaves the room.)
(Exit Young Grado Subject.)
(Enter Grado Cavaliers #1, #2 and #3.)
(Grado Cavaliers #1, #2 and #3 approach Grado Emperor Vigarde.)
Grado Emperor Vigarde: Listen, I want you three to capture the murderers in Renais who go by the names of “Myrmidon,” “Priest,” and “Mage,” and this time, don’t drag them from your horses all the way back to Grado! I want the prisoners alive this time. Understood?
Grado Cavalier #1: Yes, my emperor.
Grado Emperor Vigarde: Good, now off with you three.
(Grado Cavaliers #1, #2 and #3 leave the room.)
(Exit Grado Emperor Vigarde.)
Grado Cavalier #2: So now, we can’t drag the prisoners by horse all the way back to Grado.
Grado Cavalier #3: People like to ruin our fun, don’t they?
(Exit Grado Cavalier #1.)
(Exit Grado Cavalier #2.)
(Exit Grado Cavalier #3.)
Narrator: And so, our heroes are in some deep doo-doo with the Grado military. Will the cavaliers capture them? Will our heroes survive?
(End Scene.)
