Rivendell - Act 1 Scene 1
Characters:

Julia - Sisterly, caring, thoughtful, rash, uncertain.
Mark - Rich, loud, easily angry.
Angeline - Party babe, fun loving, outwards, loved.
The manila ham ropes twirls languidly on edge, as it oscillates slowly in a small circle, a tender lady hanging
at its complete mercy. The clock ticks, and the lasting rope gives way, as it divides itself with the forces of nature, obeying the ancient laws of weight. The lady spuns down helplessly, into the unknow depths of the passing river. Mother Nature starts to engulf her in her tears.
= Enter Julia(drowning girl), Richard, vincent, Mark, Thomas, Angeline, Rae, Cynthia.
vincent: She, has fallen! The tears of nature swallows her!
Mark: This I know! One of the fellows must go, for I shall die before I set foot on the sorrow of nature!
Angeline: Oh go! For amongst us divides four men, but none of men is men? For the love of Julia, I beg thee!
Thomas: But dareth not go! Zeif I go, I shall go down like an avil! I cannot!
Richard: Enough! I shall seize all disputes! For the love of Julia, I shall go! Here Angeline! Take my cross, and bury it beside me should all that is rescued is my corpse.
*unhooks cross, and drops it on floor. Jumps in after her.*
= Exit all.
= Enter Julia on bed, Richard, Cynthia
Cynthia: Has the lady awaken? Has she seen light?
Richard: Nay, but I wish that it is not so.
Cynthia: Then what fate awaits her, if she is condemmed to never awake at the light of mortal men? What fate awaits us all?
Richard: This much, I do noe know. Hush, bid you of leave. I much desire to shed some time with her in solitude.
Cynthia: I beg you of leave then, but hail for me, if thou has fortune or experience the waking of her.
= Leaves Cynthia. Richard kneels by the bed.
Richard: Oh Julia, I am not knowing of wherest to start, the yearning of what my heart desires to your soul, consume. Many things, many thoughts cloud my mind. My thoughts, clouds of doubt, floating in the vastless skies, the heavens my dreams, the earth, my dread. But these certain clouds do not pass, my lady. They do not.
*sobs*
Answer my pines for you. Do you not know how much I love you? I love you more than the capacity of comprehension. I daren't express these emotions when you so witness, for fear of mockery.
*takes her unmoving hand*
If all, of what little hope and salvation I have left in this mortal world, I glady give them to grant me a wish.
I give this wish to thee. I wish thee rise, and be happy! Be joyful! Grace the world with what's yours to flaunt!
And I give to you, my cross. May what copper and faith in it, be bestowed onto you.
*Kisses palm, and puts cross on for Julia.*
= Exits Richard, fade to black
