15 years before scene 1

Everyone was having a grand time in King Sextimus and Queen Aggravain's kingdom. Cardamon the Wizard and his friend Sliding Peter Jingle were playing music and performing tricks. Everyone enjoyed that.

Twelve year old Larkin was sitting with her friends Rowena, Beatrice. And Lucille, who were also twelve.

"Oh isn't Harry cute!?" Larkin said dreamily as she glanced at the fourteen year old knight in training.

"Not as cute as Harold" Beatrice said as she looked at the thirteen year old knight in training.

"Well you two are dead wrong! Studley is cuter than both those boys combined!" Rowena said as she looked at Studley.

Rebecca Sliding Peter Jingle's daughter was watching her father and Cardamon perform and watched in awe as she saw her father danced in his very soft shoes.

'I want to be just like him when I'm older' she thought as she saw eleven year old Prince Dauntless Sit next to her with his sweetheart Winifred.

Dauntless and Winnifred were inseparable everyone knew that one day they were to be married and Prince Dauntless would become King Dauntless and Winnifred his Queen. Everyone liked this idea but Queen Aggravain.

She and King Sextimus were watching there kingdom from afar and Sextimus was enjoying the fun even though he was mute.

'What and Idiot I have for a husband' Aggravain thought as she then looked to her son and Winnifred.

'What a Wretched little girl she is' Aggravain thought.

'I need to find a way to get her out of my kingdom but how?' The queen thought.

She then got up.

'Sextimus I need to attend to a small order of business you tay here and no fooling around" Aggravain said as she made her way out of the room.

OUAM

That night Aggravain called Cardamon to her secret chambers.

"You asked for me your majesty?" Cardamon said.

"Yes Cardamon, I need your help I need you to create a fight and in that fight I want the girl called Winnifred to be out of my kingdom and into a swamp!" Aggravain said.

"But your Majesty…." Cardamon began.

"Don't question me or else the one called Rebecca shall be killed!" Aggravain said.

Cardamon's eyes widened, not sweet Becca; he loved her as his own child.

"Yes your Majesty as he left the room.

OUAM

The next day everyone was In the kingdom doing their own activities, Twelve year old Rosalie and her ten year old sister Desiree were singing together. Rosalie and Desiree came from a neighboring kingdom, Rosalie was the blood daughter of the king and queen there but Desiree was adopted and now there were living in King Sextimus and Queen Aggravain's kingdom.

Dauntless and Winnifred were in the courtyard when Dauntless gave Winnifred a bouquet of dandelions.

"Oh Dauntless, there beautiful!" Winnifred exclaimed.

"Just like you" Dauntless said.

"You're so sweet" Winnifred said.

"So are you" Dauntless said.

Just as they were about to kiss they heard a rumble, they looked outside the court and saw evil knights starting to attack.

The kingdom was going crazy screaming, fighting and hiding. All the knights in training were also fighting to protect the kingdom.

Rebecca was running when an evil knight tried to stab her.

"STAY AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER!" Sliding Peter Jingle said as he fought the knight but he was then stabbed and killed right in front of his daughter.

"DADDY!" Rebecca exclaimed.

Then out of nowhere Sextimus came and carried Rebecca all the way to castle as fast as he could.

Dauntless and Winnifred were fighting off the evil knights when one of them picked up Winnifred and rode away.

"WINNIFRED NO!" Dauntless said as he tried to run after her.

"To bad my son but she's gone" Aggravain said as she came beside him after the battle was over..

"But Winnifred…" Dauntless began

"Is gone, Now come along" Aggravain said as Dauntless followed her.

OUAM

That night everyone had gone to bed, Cardamon was walking around the castle when he heard someone sobbing quietly.

He opened the door to where the sobbing was coming from and saw Rebecca in bed sobbing.

"Oh Becca" He said softly as he walked over to her and took her in his arms.

"Cardamon.. Daddy's de-"

"I know, I know but its alright now I'm here and I'll always protect you" Cardamon said as Becca sobbed herself to sleep.
