Look down

1815. twenty six years after the start of the French revolution a king is once again on the throne of France. (For those of you that know nothing about history, the French or monarchs).

It is raining, raining rain more than it would take to drown a man if he left his mouth open too long looking at a lady in a skirt. In such terrible weather, the prisoners of a prison are outside trying to dock a mighty French vessel into a port. And is very grumbly heaving in time whilst singing a delightful song.

One man 2nd from the front in one of the many long lines of men. Looks up to see a man on top of the dock walls looking down on him with disgust he has blonde hair and a sneer taped to his face. The man looks back in front of him towards the ship and starts singing. "Look down, Look down don't look 'em in the eye."

The rest whilst still heaving starts singing with him. "Look down, Look down your hear until you die."

Another one of them (Hermes) starts singing. "No gods above look down on hell and earth below."

They all sing. "Look down, look down these twenty years below."

Another (Phorcys) sings. "I've done, no wrong, sweet Hera hear my prayer."

"Look down, Look down, sweet Hera doesn't care."

Another (Octavian) more hopeful man sings. "I know she'll wait, I know that she'll be true."

Whilst the rest sings. "Look down, Look down they've all forgotten you."

The 1st man (Gabe) in the rope sings. "We're not getting free you won't see me kneel to dust." They all grunt in agreement to this man.

(Line break)

Sometime later when they got all the ropes tied away they are walking to the back of the massive port where one of the boats go, in a straight line all of them walking over a worse for wear French flag which still has the bean it's attached to on the ship on it. They're all still singing their song to walk back. "Look down; look down you'll always be a slave."

They continue until the first batch of prisoners has entered the jail and the guards have stopped them as the prisoner from earlier who started the song walks past the sneering man from earlier the Blondie puts his baton in front of him stopping him.

The man with the baton was strong but normal sized wearing a blue uniform with a blue fez like hat on top of his head with previously mentioned blonde hair.

The man he had stopped was not much taller than him but very much bigger and stronger looking but he also was still panting from a days' worth of hard work. There was a look of gentle ness about him like he couldn't hurt a fly but from the looks of him he could still handle himself in a fight.

Blondie glances at him then at the flag on the floor and put on a commanding tone and says "retrieve the flag."

The big man shakes his head and walks slowly over to it the prisoner behind him was about to follow but Blondie stopped him with his baton and a sneer on his face, so the prisoner continued walking into the prison with the rest behind him.

As the big man reached the flag he looks down at it and back at blondie he has smirk on his face now the big guy is tired form working there's no way he could lift that massive wooden log and whilst dragging a soaking flag. So the big guy crouches down unties the rope on one end walks over to the other end and unties it.

He then rolls it up in his hands walks over to the guard who now a very stoic and expressionless face and drops in in front of him rather smugly, with a straight face just in case.

Blondie looks at him for a second then starts to fold our yellow piece of paper and examines it all whilst saying. "Now prisoner 24601 your time is up and your paroles begun." He looks at him. "Do you know what that means?" He hands over the paper to him.

"Yes" he said softly and with a smile on his face. He looks at the paper "it means I'm free."

"No" Blondie says sternly. "Follow to your artinery this burden of shame will show until you die. It warns you're a dangerous man."

24601 looks into his eyes. "I stole a loaf of bread." He says confounded. "My sisters child was close to death." He continues. "We were starving."

"And you'll starve again." Blondie says pompously. "Unless you learn the meaning of the law."

"Or the meaning of those 19 (he sang 20 earlier) years a slave of the law." he counters angrily.

This gets Blondie riled up he steps closer to him. "5 years for what you did." He almost shouts. "The rest because you tried to run." He smiles. "Yes 24601."

"My name is Frank Zhang." He says he has had enough of this numbers business.

Blondie takes a step closer they are face to face. "And I'm Lucas, do not forget my name." he turns on his side and lets Frank pass. "Do not forget me." He hisses at his back. "24601" he says just to annoy him but his back doesn't turn around so he doesn't do anything stupid that gets him another 19 years. He is free at last.

(A/N):

Tell me if you love it tell me if you hate it. Next time is the bishop I'm doing this song by song.

I've already decided on the character list but I wouldn't mind some to contemplate.

I'm doing this by the film and adding some of my own ideas and the character traits into it.

I need the love please review.
