The Bishop and The 'Beast' Chapter One: The Campsite.


Sasarai awoke to the sounds of marching. It took him a minute to realize where he was. This wasn't Harmonia...this was the camp of the so- called White Wolf army, the Elite of Luca Blight. Sleepily, he got up, stretched and went about his business of washing and dressing.
As soon as he stepped out of his tent, the first thing that greeted him was the beautiful sunlight With a contented sigh, he stretched out and decided to take a walk around the campsite. As beautiful as the morning was... He was suddenly inspired to burst into song.

Sasarai: Little camp in the ranks of Highland What a trip from far up north.
Little camp, full of Highland soldiers Who greet me each day with...

soldier: My lord!
pageboy: My lord!
extra: My lord, I must confess!

Sasarai winced as something large and heavy was hurled at the soldier who had mentioned something about a confession. Shrugging it off, he decided to go on with his song.

Sasarai :There goes Prince Luca in a rush
Like always
The madman who began this war
Every morning's just the same
Every day with no such change
For this poor demented camp

Luca Blight: Good morning, Sasarai!
Sasarai: As to you, my lord.
Luca Blight: So, where you off to this morning?
Sasarai: Just around. I had the urge to take a walk, seeing as the sky was so blue and all...
Luca Blight: Well that's nice... Solon Jhee! Call the troops!

Solon Jhee: Look, there he goes
That man's a girl, no question.
Klaus: His eyes, his waist, the way he moves.
Culgan: He can turn just any head
Seed: So the ladies want him dead
All 4: Attracting every man, that Sasarai

Soldier Lord Jhee!
Solon Jhee: Ten-hut!
Sey: Hey, I'm an extra!
Soldier: Oh god! It's Sey!
Soldier: Run for your life.
Sey :You guys! No fair!
I'm cutting budgets.
Sasarai: There must be more than this demented life.

Sey: Traitors...all of them...
Sasarai: Oh, good morning. Haven't seen you before.
Sey: AAH! I'm not supposed to be here!
Sasarai: Is...is something wrong...?
Sey: Erm...not really...
Sasarai: The why are you in such a rush...?
Sey: I...ah... g'bye! runs off, drops a wind rune
Sasarai: What a peculiar girl... picks up the rune Miss! You dropped you... your ...Wind rune...

The girl ran away, scampering past soldiers and leaping over weapons. As she made her hasty getaway, she passed Seed and Culgan who seemed to be busy talking about something...

Seed: Look, there he goes, that man is so peculiar
His hat's much larger than his head.
Culgan: I don't think he heard your tune
Coz he's staring at that rune
Both: It seems we just don't get that Sasarai

Sasarai: Oh, isn't this confusing
When I look into this rune,
I feel
Like something in me's missing
As if somewhere out there's
Another part of me.

Solon Jhee: Now for a priest, I'd say that man's a beauty
He's rather pretty...for a guy.
Culgan: But he stares out into space
Seed: Though you whack him with a mace
Kiba: Very different from the rest of us
Klaus: He's nothing like the rest of us
All 5: We're nothing like that Bishop Sasarai!

The girl bumped into someone else standing near the side of another tent. Whomever she had bumped into was seemingly watching Sasarai with an odd gleam in her eyes.
Sarah: So that's the man I have to get rid of.
The one who's slashed with Master Luc.
Sey had to make this fic.
So I'll kill him real quick
That pesky man called Bishop Sasarai.

Soldier Look, there she goes
It's an intruder!
Soldier2 That girl!
Soldier3 Which one, coz I see two.
Soldier The one who said she'd do some killing.
Soldier2 We must report to our Lord Luca Blight.

The soldiers began to surround both Sey and Sarah. While Sey tried to make a break for it, Sarah tried to push through the crowd and get to Sasarai, trying to pull out a dagger. She leapt out of the crowd. "This is for Master Luc!" she cried. Sey grabbed her by the leg and pulled her off, running out of the camp.

Sasarai: Is there some other half of me outside?
Sarah: I have to kill that Bishop Sasarai!

Soldiers: Look there she goes, the nut
Who made us sing this
And there's that murderer to be.
Culgan: We'll tie them both in chains
Sasarai: I believe they're all deranged
Soldiers To protect the man our prince has called
To protect ourselves from something odd
Seed: Can we just please stop singing now...?
Soldiers Guess not...


And there's chapter one up! Wait until I get the rest of the soundtrack done...
