Chapter 3 The True Heroes of Green Plains.

6:38PM Elisa-Were here!

Snow-No matter how many times I come here…I always feel…happy.

Bernard-We are closer to our destination all we have to do is just go right thru that cave over there.

Elisa-But can't we spend the night out here? It is so beautiful we have a full moon out and when the moon shines on this lake it is said that someone falls in love.

Snow-Yah. [Flash back.] ("Snow-[Gets embarrass] Just thought that it might be something you might want to know…or something…it is not like I don't love you…well I do but not like that. Godfrey-[Laughs.] It's ok Snow I know what you meant.")

Bernard-Snow…Snow…Snow!

Snow-What?

Bernard-You where spacing out there for a minute.

Snow-Sorry about that I was just thinking.

Bernard-About what?

Snow-…About…How should we get married?

Elisa-?

Bernard-Married!

Snow-Well of cores, you like me don't you?

Bernard-Uh cores I do.

Snow-And I like you right?

Bernard-I hope so.

Snow-Then we should get married then.

Bernard-I am fine with that and all but aren't you going a little bit too fast?

Snow-What are you saying then?

Bernard-Nothing I am just saying that should we wait for a little while I mean after all we are only 15 years old you know.

Snow-I know.

Bernard-Isn't that kind of young?

Snow-…I guess your right…fine well wait.

Bernard-Thank you.

Elisa-Uh…Snow can I talk to you for a second?

Snow-Sure what is it?

Elisa-…Alone.

Bernard-? Oh sorry I have to go anyway.

Elisa-…What was that all about?

Snow-I love him.

Elisa-I love Godfrey but I don't want to marry him now.

Snow-So.

Elisa-I just think that you went a little bit off your character for a little while.

Snow-[Chuckles.] What do you mean?

Elisa-I mean that what you did was not the Snow that I know.

Snow-You know something Elisa? You are jealous.

Elisa-What?

Snow-Yah you are jealous because I can find someone who loves me and you can't.

Elisa-That's not true.

Snow-…Sorry…your right I had been off my character a little bit.

Elisa-What's on your mind?

Snow-Nothing, no one.

Elisa-When you say that it is always something or someone.

Snow-I just need to fine the real me that's all.

Elisa-Well if you ever need help with that just let me know ok?

Snow-Thanks Elisa.

[A thunder storm starts to blow there way.]

Elisa-Uh oh.

Snow-A thunder storm?

Elisa-Yep and it is blowing this way too.

Bernard-I'm back. [Looks at the sky.] We should rest in side that cave.

Snow-Are you sure I mean it can go right by us.

[Lighting strikes.]

Bernard-And get hit by lighting? I don't think so.

Elisa-Come on Snow lets hurry.

Snow-I am right behind you.

6:49PM (In side the cave.)

Bernard-You see Snow this is not so bad, we are out of the rain, we are nice and dry, and not to mention that we are more secure too.

(The floor clasp)

Snow-You were saying?

Bernard-I am saying that I think I fell on something.

Elisa-That's me you idiot.

Bernard-Sorry.

Elisa-Well get your butt out of my face.

Snow-Uh oh.

Bernard-What?

Snow-We are trap.

Bernard-? Hey who close up the whole?

Spencer-I am sorry but I can't let any more of my meal escape.

Snow-(That voice.)

Spencer-I never forget a meal that ran away but it is nice to see that you brought some friends too.

Bernard-You know that guy?

Snow-Well lets just say that I know him well enough that he tried to kill me.

Bernard-He will have to get past me first.

Snow-Uh Bernard?

Bernard-Yah?

Snow-He has an army.

Spencer-That's right and if you listen closely you can hear them.

[Small foot noise gets closer.]

Elisa-How do we beat them?

Snow-We don't…we run.

6:55PM (At the caves exit.)

Snow-The wall its close up.

Spencer-You don't think that we would really let you get away like you did the time?

Snow-I was kind of hoping so.

Spencer-Sorry but not this time. This time you die here. [Stabs Elisa on the leg and poisoned her.]

Bernard-Elisa!

Spencer-Relax she is only poisoned shell live…for now.

Bernard-Ill kills you.

Snow-Don't do anything stupid Bernard.

Bernard-What?

Snow-They have an army and it is only the three of us.

Bernard-Are we just going to surrender then?

Snow-…No…there still is a way…stands back. [Does an ice move "Blizzard."]

Spencer-! The cold…I can't take it…fall back fall back.

Bernard-! Wow…that was kind of…cold.

Snow-…Don't ever say that again.

Elisa-Yah Bernard…that was horrible.

Bernard-Don't worry well get you healed.

Snow-Why don't you just suck the poisoned out like you did with me?

Bernard-It's not really the same.

Snow-Excuse me. If you want her to die then that's ok too.

Elisa-She's right Bernard gets this stuff out.

Snow-And you might want to move her ill try to destroy this wall.

Bernard-Got it.

7:00PM Snow-I'm ready.

Bernard-Us too.

[Small foot noises get closer.]

Elisa-Ill says we are not the only ones.

Snow-Lets move.

Elisa-I never…flew before.

Snow-What?

Elisa-Sorry.

Snow-Well this is a great time to start. [Pushes Elisa out of the cave.]

Bernard-Elisa!

Snow-She's fine let's go now.

[Elisa falls to the ground.]

Snow-You won't fly unless you open your wings!

[Elisa opens her wings.

Snow-You see nothing to worry about.

Elisa-? Say I'm flying! [Fly's in to a tree.

Snow-There is practice you know.

Bernard-Yah I know.

Elisa-I'm ok.

Snow-I think we had enough fun for one day let's hurry up and get to Green Plains already.

Bernard-Agreed.

8:55PM Bernard-Here we are just over this hill and home sweat home.

Snow-…This is home sweat home?

Bernard-What happened here?

Snow-Good question lets fly down there and fine out.

Elisa-…It looks like a…graveyard.

Snow-It smells like…death.

Chernobog-Ah "death" and "graveyard" my two favorite words.

Snow-CHERNOBOG!

Chernobog-Nice to see you two Snow…but where is Godfrey?

Snow-Dead…Godfrey is dead.

Chernobog-No he is not I know that much. I had a surprise for him.

Snow-What kind of "surprise?"

Chernobog-It won't be much of a surprise if I showed you now will it?

Snow-I guess not.

Bernard-There was a mail and it was sent for me.

Chernobog-And I care why?

Bernard-I am the hero of this town.

Chernobog-You? [Starts to laugh.] To tell you the truth kid you can't even beat a 5 year old.

Bernard-They cheat.

Chernobog-…

Snow-You weren't supposed to comment that.

Bernard-Oh.

Chernobog-From the legend there was four dragons and one was gold, that dragon also lived in a Dragons Town so I thought that it would be Godfrey.

Bernard-Nope it is me so what do you want.

Chernobog-…I know you now…you suck.

Bernard-?

Chernobog-You were the leader of the army that I destroyed and fled like a little baby you are.

Bernard-That is not true honey don't instant to a word he says.

Chernobog-"Honey?" Are you two?

Snow-Yah were engage.

Chernobog-What! I thought you love Godfrey?

Snow-Nope.

Chernobog-That's…just weird…but any way should you tell the story or should I?

Snow-Tell me what?

Bernard-…I didn't want to tell you this.

Snow-Tell me what?

Bernard-A week before I left this town was under attack…I was the leader of the army…we were destroyed so I grab my sister and we fled…we came to your guy's place in search for help…but we couldn't tell you the truth.

Snow-And you think now is a good time?

Bernard-I'm sorry I didn't want you to get hurt. [Try to kiss Snow.]

Snow-Don't kiss me. And why did you not told me is it because I was a woman?

Bernard-

Snow-I don't believe this…and here I thought I loved you…and why did you not told Godfrey?

Elisa-I loved him.

Snow-I love him too but if my village was under attack I would told him.

Chernobog-(Ah she does love him.)

Snow-You two are idiots.

Bernard-Calm down honey.

Snow-Don't you tell me to calm down and I aunt your "honey" ether honey.

Chernobog-(This is priceless.)

Snow-Chernobog?

Chernobog-Yes ma'am?

Snow-Show me this damn surprise already.

Chernobog-Ok.

[The army of zombies and skeletons pops up out of the ground.]

Snow-What the?

Chernobog-Tell me do you like it? Everything that was killed by the Dark Lord and everything that was on the dark side is back to life.

Snow-…How?

Chernobog-The Dark Lord put in a lot of time and magic to make this work and look what he had done.

Snow-You guys are running out of men now or something?

Chernobog-No we just thought that this might be more fun.

Snow-Was this the army that you ran away from?

Bernard-…Yep.

Snow-Why didn't you tell me?

Bernard-I love you.

Snow-That's not good enough. [Sucker punches Bernard in the mouth.]

Chernobog-You got a choice Snow ether surrender now or you can try to fight this but when you dye your death will be meaningless.

Snow-You should know me Chernobog-I will never rejoin your side again.

Chernobog-You stupid little girl…but if that is what you want then…you can fight…but your friends are smarter then you.

Snow-? What are you two doing?

Elisa-We surrender.

Snow-What!

Bernard-Let's face it Snow we are not going to win this.

Snow-At least when I die at least I will know that I was not a coward like you two.

Chernobog-Still going to fight Snow?

Snow-You know it.

Chernobog-Ok let's begin then.

9:14PM Chernobog-Snow…I am kind of disappointed in you.

Snow-[Bleeds everywhere.] You don't have the gut to kill me yourself.

Chernobog-Actually…I do. I just don't want to get sweaty trying to do it during the process.

[Snow spits blood at Chernobog.]

Chernobog-I thought you had matured over the years but it had seemed that I was wrong. Tell me something what is your last wish?

Snow-That you burn in hell.

Chernobog-…Fair enough…See you there.

[Thunderbolt barley misses Chernobog.]

Chernobog-! Ah Godfrey how nice for you to join us.

Godfrey-You weren't really going to kill her were you?

Chernobog-I work for death of cores I was.

Godfrey-Pity.

Snow-Godfrey.

Godfrey-Yes Snow?

Snow-You miss.

Godfrey-My apologies it won't happen again.

Chernobog-You think you can kill me and my army all by yourself?

Godfrey-Nope. [Godfrey's army pops up behind the mountains.]

Chernobog-I see that you had come prepared.

Godfrey-You see what would have happen if you just told us all of this before Bernard.

Chernobog-Well it looks like I am going to have a better fight now.

Godfrey-So it seems.

Chernobog-FIGHT!

Godfrey-CHARGE!

10:24PM Chernobog-[Breaths hard.] You had learned some new moves Godfrey.

Godfrey-[Breaths hard.] So had you Chernobog.

Chernobog-But this is not the end.

Godfrey-It is never the end.

Chernobog-You had not seen the last of me or the Dark Lord Godfrey.

Godfrey-I believe that but next time we meet…You won't have it so lucky.

Chernobog-[Laughs.] Just keep thinking that to yourself Godfrey…any way I give you this town back I don't need it any way.

Godfrey-…Snow? [Fly's down to Snow.] Come on Snow wake up…wake up Snow…Snow stop playing dead and wake up…Snow!

Baleen-Are we to late?

Godfrey-[Turns evil.] You.

Bernard-!

Godfrey-You did this.

Bernard-No I didn't.

Godfrey-If you just would have told us all about this, this would not have happen.

Bernard-…Snow.

Godfrey-Because of you and your stupid mistake Snow is dead.

Bernard-I'm sorry

Godfrey-Sorry to whom? Are you sorry to Snow or are you sorry to yourself?

Snow-[Breaths very slowly.]

Elisa-! Uh Godfrey?

Godfrey-What!

Elisa-Look.

Godfrey-[Turns around.] Snow? [Turns good.]

Snow-Godfrey.

Godfrey-Yes Snow?

Snow-Shut up.

Godfrey-[Smiles.] Ok Snow.

Bernard-What did she have to say?

Godfrey-She wants us to shut up so she can sleep.

Elisa-Make since.

January 30, 2023 7:25AM (Inside Bernard's house.)

[Snow wakes up.]

Godfrey-? So back from the dear are we?

Snow-Very funny.

Godfrey-I thought it was.

Snow-So what was the outcome?

Godfrey-We made Chernobog run away again…we lost only 16 of our men but we destroyed 727 of theirs.

Snow-That's not too bad.

Godfrey-Speaking from the fact that those 727 men were already supposed to be dead yah I think we did good.

Snow-Do you know what the Dark Lord plan is this time?

Godfrey-If I have to guess I think it will be to make the world into darkness again.

Snow-He is now getting annoying.

Godfrey-I know that feeling.

Snow-So what now?

Godfrey-To tell you the truth…I don't know. I mean I know that the Dark Lord is back and all but I don't know where to begin.

Snow-I know that feeling…Where's Bernard?

Godfrey-Right now he is apologizing to the mayor and telling him what really happen four years ago and why did he fled the town.

7:37AM Bernard-So you see sir do you see why I did those things?

Mark-I see…but what you did was a terrible thing.

Bernard-I know.

Mark-But I am glad to see that you are here and you will stay here wont you?

Bernard-Uh yes.

Mark-Then problem solved but it turns out that the true heroes of Green Plains are Godfrey and Snow.

7:48AM Baleen-Godfrey we need to have a word with you.

Godfrey-Alone?

Baleen-No Snow can hear this to.

Godfrey-Then what's up?

Baleen-It turns out that the Dark Lord is trying to turn this world into darkness.

Snow-Didn't he already try that last time?

Baleen-He does not give up that easy Snow.

Godfrey-I thought Seth burn in lava?

Baleen-Apparently that only made him stronger.

Godfrey-That figures.

Snow-So what's our plan of attack?

Baleen-Nothing to really report, maybe a battle ant this place and another at that place.

Godfrey-So what? Are we just going to wait till he shows his ugly face?

Baleen-No we are going to attack first.

Snow-I like the sound f that.

Baleen-There is a place and it is called Utopia.

Godfrey-"Utopia?"

Snow-I herd of that place it is supposed to be so beautiful that it is a perfect utopia.

Godfrey-[Chuckles.]

Snow-What's so funny?

Godfrey-That the place is name Utopia and you called it a perfect utopia.

Snow-Well the definition for the word utopia is a perfect world.

Godfrey-I never knew that before thank you.

Snow-Why that place?

Baleen-We believe that what you think Utopia is is now the Dark Lord utopia.

Snow-…Meaning?

Godfrey-Meaning death.

Snow-That's terrible.

Baleen-Indeed so that is why we want you two to go check it out.

Godfrey-Ok nothing wrong with that but why us?

Baleen-The world is a big place and we all can't send a whole army out to one location base on a hunch.

Snow-What about Bernard and Elisa.

Bernard-We are going to stay here.

Elisa-Sorry but we couldn't help but ease drop on to your conversation here.

Godfrey-Are you sure you can stay here?

Bernard-Defiantly if they ever come back we will be ready.

Godfrey-You are not going to run away?

Bernard-Nope I think it is time to be a man and stand up for myself.

Snow-Well that's good to know.

William-Baleen are they ready?

Baleen-Very close William.

Snow-Hi William.

William-Hello Snow, Godfrey.

Godfrey-You want us to leave already?

William-Well better late than never I guess.

Godfrey-Well I am ready are you ready?

Snow-Just give me a few more minutes then I will be good to go.

Godfrey-Ok.

William-Godfrey can I talk with you for a minute outside alone?

Godfrey-Uh sure.

William-…Godfrey.

Godfrey-What's up?

William-I want you to take real good care of Snow for me on this journey.

Godfrey-Don't worry I won't let anything happen with her I promise.

William-Good…I know this might sound strange but to me she is like my daughter and most dads they want their daughter to be safe.

Godfrey-Don't worry William she is going to be with me nothing bad is going to happen.

William-Thank you.

Snow-Ok I'm ready…oh are you two still talking?

Godfrey-Nope we just finish actually.

Snow-Well that's good it turns out that we have to go east and our first stop will be… the Amazon Desert.

Godfrey-Oh goody it sounds fun already lets go.

Snow-Bye everyone.

Bernard-So long Snow…my love.

Elisa-Take cares Godfrey.

Baleen-Best of luck to both of you.

William-And come back alive too.
