Okay, here's what happened in the first one. Princess Aurora lived in the land of Glyndufn with her mom and dad: Queen Victoria and King Stephan. Aurora was the best swordsman in all the land. She wanted to be a soldier, but her parents wouldn't let her fight in anything more extreme than a jousting match. Aurora was coming of age to be married and her parents were planning a ball to find a prince for her. They knew that it would be highly difficult to find a prince for Aurora because she was butt-ugly and scared everyone in the kingdom!
Meanwhile, Prince Durum of Brier Oak is in trouble. His father Albert was imprisoned by his wicked uncle and took over Brier Oak. Durum escaped to Glyndufn to build an army to take back Albert's kingdom. He disguised himself as a garbage man for Glyndufn. That's when he met Aurora and fell in love. A wizard and her apprentice called Little Wiz were working for Durum's evil uncle. By Durum's uncle's orders, they had to bring Durum back alive so he can suffer in the dungeon with his father. They found Durum in Glyndufn and cast a spell on Aurora and all of the knights and made them go to sleep. After 100 days, Durum decided to leave and take back Brier Oak single-handedly. He kissed Aurora and she and all of the knights woke up. Aurora and Durum married and left to battle Durum's evil uncle.
"The Princess Knight II:
The Battle for Freedom"
Act I Scene 1(The curtain opens and Aurora, Durum, Sir William, and knights are all fighting the knights of Durum's uncle in a forest. The good and evil knights gradually start to die and duel off stage. The dead knights on stage stay still in their "death" positions. The only living people left on stage are a good knight, Aurora, Durum, and Sir William on center stage.)
Aurora: Where's the castle, Durum? I want to fight some more!
Durum: Gee, you're not very enthusiastic, are you?
Sir William: I'm impressed, Aurora. You fight better than me. (Everyone but the knight sheathes their sword.)
Knight: Do not let your guard down. There still have to be soldiers arou- (He is interrupted by an arrow piercing him in the back. He falls to the ground as Sir William, Durum, and Aurora jump back in surprise. Haunting music starts. Suggestion: use #13 from the soundtrack of "The Lord of the Rings." Slowly Hyra comes on from stage right holding a bow and on her waist she has two sheathed sais. She has no armor, but black clothes. Sir William, Durum, and Aurora slowly step back to left-center stage. Hyra's long dark hair covers her face as she is hanging her head. She walks a few steps, stops in her tracks, tosses the bow up stage and slowly looks up at Durum. An evil smile spreads across her face.)
Durum: Hyra? (He slowly takes a few steps closer and squints his eyes in disbelief.) Cousin Hyra?
Hyra: That's right. (She says in an English accent as she brushes her hair away so now you can see her face.)
Durum: (His eyes open wide and he slowly backs away to his original position.) No. No, it can't be! This isn't possible! (He points at Hyra.) You're dead!
Hyra: Oh, I wish I were sometimes- (Her smile fades and she points an accusing finger at Durum.) after what you and your father did to me!
Durum: What are you talking about?
Hyra: Don't you DARE play innocent with me, Durum! You destroyed me as a princess! You destroyed the most important thing that I could have as the rightful princess!
Durum: The RIGHTFUL princess? You are NOT the rightful offspring of the throne! I am! And your father is NOT the rightful king. MINE is!
Hyra: A rightful king and his son would not torture family!
Aurora: Torture? Durum, what is she talking about?
Hyra: Ah, so you haven't told your precious Princess Aurora about what happened five years ago. (Hyra slowly walks up and starts circling Sir William, Aurora, and Durum.) So why won't you tell her and your friend, Sir William what happened.
Sir William: How do you know my name?
Hyra: (Hyra stops in front of Sir William) Do not worry about that. I assure you, you will find out soon enough. Unless Durum volunteers to tell you. (Hyra turns to Durum) You remember don't you, Durum?
Sir William: The only thing he remembers of you is that you were a blood-sucking parasite and you still are!
Hyra: (Hyra grabs Sir William by the neck and pulls him in tight.) I would keep my mouth shut if I were you! I am much more dangerous than you think! Even more dangerous than that weakling Aurora! (She pushes Sir William back as she lets go of his neck.)
Durum: (Durum pushes Aurora behind him protectively.) Leave her out of this!
Hyra: Oh, no. I cannot do that. You are the one who brought her into this. So you can just blame yourself after I kill her.
Sir William: No! (Sir William pushes Hyra into center stage and unsheathes his sword.) You will have to get through me first!
Hyra: With pleasure. (Hyra unsheathes her sais.)
Durum: Sir William, don't! She's more powerful than you can imagine!
(Sir William and Hyra start dueling down stage and as they are, Durum and Aurora gradually move to up-center stage. Hyra knocks the sword out of Sir William's hands and kicks him to down-right stage. Sir William staggers to his feet with his back to Hyra. Hyra walks to stage left and puts her sais away. Sir William turns and throws a dagger at Hyra's back. Hyra turns around, thrusts her hand forward and stops the dagger in mid-air. Everyone is astonished as they stare at the floating knife. Hyra grins as she makes a magic movement with her hand and turns the knife around in the opposite direction. She picks up the knife.)
What a lovely gift! Thank you very much Sir William.
(She ties it to her waist.)
Sir William: How did you do that?
Hyra: You're head knight and you can't figure it out? You're pathetic! (She turns to Durum and Aurora and starts to advance on them.) Just like the rest of you! (Sir William picks up his sword and charges at Hyra.)
Sir William: Get back, you devil!
(Hyra makes magic movements with her hands at Sir William, making a blue glowing light, and without touching him, she throws him up and over her head to down-left stage. Sir William is moaning on the ground, beat up, and nearly unconscious. Hyra strides to him, picks him up by his neck with one hand and hangs him high with her arm fully outstretched. After a few seconds, she slowly pulls him in so their faces are one foot apart, but Sir William's face is still higher than Hyra's.)
Hyra: This is the last time you'll get in my way! (Hyra pulls out the knife and is about to stab Sir William in the neck when Aurora grabs her wrist.)
Aurora: For a sorceress you have a lot of wrong conclusions. (Hyra pulls away and drops Sir William who crumples to the ground. Aurora backs up to stage left and Hyra advances to center stage and puts the knife away.)
Hyra: You challenge me?
Aurora: I am not afraid of you!
Hyra: Well, we will need more room then, won't we? (She turns to the dead knights and the unconscious Sir William. She makes magic movements with her hands and points to the off stages. The dead knights and Sir William slide offstage.)
Hyra: If you want to back down, this is your last chance to do so.Aurora: You have tried to scare me from the beginning and so far you have failed.
Hyra: I never fail! (Hyra unsheathes her sais.)
Aurora: Not with swords or any kind of weapon, just our hands. (Aurora throws her sword upstage and puts her hands up in a fighting position.)
Hyra: Ah, something new. How entertaining.
(Hyra throws her sais upstage and charges at Aurora. They do martial arts for a while until Hyra finally is able to punch Aurora in the face, spins, and kicks her to stage right. Durum runs at Hyra.)
Durum: Strike my wife and die!
(Durum and Aurora charge at Hyra on opposite sides. Hyra jumps up in the air and kicks Durum and Aurora in the face. Aurora falls to the ground and picks up her sword. Meanwhile, Hyra keeps kicking Durum to stage left while she's still in the air. After her last kick, she stands on Durum's shoulders and does a back flip to center stage. While she's flipping, she kicks Durum one more time, which causes him to drop his sword and fall to the ground and her sais fly into her hands. Aurora swings at Hyra's back and Hyra blocks it without even looking. They start dueling. Meanwhile, Durum gets up and picks up his sword. He slowly joins in. They duel until somehow Durum is thrown back by magic, which doesn't seem to come from Hyra. Durum tries to stand up again, but he can't keep his balance because he is beat up and confused at why he was pushed back when Hyra wasn't even facing him. Meanwhile, Hyra knocks Aurora's sword out of her hands. Aurora lunges at Hyra. Hyra is knocked down and drops her sais. Hyra kicks her off and jumps to her feet. She thrusts her hand forward about six inches away from Aurora's chest. Electricity comes out of Hyra's hand and electrocutes Aurora for two seconds. She is thrown back to stage right where the wizard catches her and holds Aurora's hands behind her back. Little Wiz is holding onto her shoulders.)
Hyra: Thank you for your help, my old apprentice. (Hyra picks up her sais and puts them away.)
Wizard: Pardon my manners, Hyra. It is a little difficult to shake hands when I am currently holding onto Aurora's.
Durum: Let her go!
(Durum staggers to his feet and points his sword at Hyra. Hyra makes a magical motion with her hand, points at Durum's sword, and it crumbles to dust. Durum looks at the dust and throws the sword handle at Hyra. She catches it in mid-air again and throws it back without touching it. It hits Durum in the head. He staggers and almost falls. Hyra jumps up and grabs Durum's neck in between her ankles. She is still in the air when she throws him up high with her feet and sends Durum to a face-plant on center stage. Hyra lands perfectly next to him and steps on his neck. She presses harder and harder.)
Aurora: No! Stop! Leave him alone!
Hyra: As you wish, your Highness. (Hyra gets her foot off of Durum and starts to walk away, but Durum grabs her foot in attempt to trip her. Hyra gets free and starts kicking Durum.)
Aurora: Stop! Stop! Stop it! (Hyra kicks him in the face one more time, lifts his head up by his hair until he is on his knees, and puts him in a head lock. Durum is struggling to get free. They are facing Aurora.)
Hyra: He destroyed me! I'm just returning the favor!
Aurora: Nothing justifies what you are doing to him! Stop now!
Hyra: I am so sorry, Aurora. I can't. (Hyra reaches behind her back for the knife.) If you have anything terribly important to say to Durum (Hyra pulls out the knife and holds it on Durum's throat.), say it now.
Aurora: Oh, no! Please don't! Anything but that! Please, let him go!
Hyra: I will let him go on one condition.
Aurora: Anything!
Hyra: I could use both of you. I am sure it would be my father's pleasure to make you both knights of his army. You are a very gifted warrior, Aurora. So is Durum. But not gifted enough. I could teach you. You could be a sorceress with your prince by your side, and he could be a sorcerer as well. It is your choice. This is my only offer to spare his life. Well, what will your answer be? Be a mighty sorceress and fight battles better than you ever could before with Durum by your side? Or mourn for Durum in the dungeon for the rest of your life, with Durum's father? The answer you give me now is not able to be overturned once you make up your mind. Well? Be like me - or death to Durum?
Durum: Go back to your father's demon shadow from whence you came! (It is completely quiet for a few seconds.)
Hyra: You first.
(Hyra slits Durum's throat and lets him fall to the ground. There is mournful music in the background. Suggestion: use the end of #13 on "The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring" soundtrack. Hyra is still holding the blood-stained knife tight in her left hand as she looks down at Durum's body. A look of hatred is on her face. Aurora is hanging her mouth open in shock, not believing what just happened. Finally, reality hits her.)
Aurora: Noooooooooo! Nooo! Noooooooo!!!! Durum! Durum! Come back! Please! Durum! Durum! Nooooooo!
(Aurora's screaming fades away as the Wizard and Little Wiz are struggling to drag her off stage as she is trying to get to Durum. The music engulfs all sound. The evil knights run from stage left to stage right. A few are carrying the unconscious Sir William and three good knights. Hyra's bow flies into her right hand. Soon the only people on stage are Hyra and Durum. Hyra stares down at Durum for a moment just before she exits to stage right. All the lights are out except for a dim spotlight shining on Durum. The music ends as the lights go out.)
