Episode 12

(The next morning... Cross runs immediately to Peter on the practice ground)
Cross: Peter, we have to talk.

(Peter excuses from the training)

Peter: What is the problem Cross.

Cross: Malikos.. They are... (Sights Sarah coming towards them)

Peter: Malikos are what? Continue.

Sarah: Continue Mr Cross, or am I disturbing?

Cross: We will talk later Peter. (Cross walks out)

Sarah: Come back here!

(Cross turns back)

Sarah: And kneel in front of me.

Cross: (Smiles) I will my lady. (He kneels)

Sarah: Now complete what you were about to tell Peter now in my presence.

Cross: I won't. My lady.

Peter: But Cross, she is the princess of Wallnock. Anything said here will also definitely get to her.. So what are you hiding?

Cross: Then I would rather speak to the Prince then. He is more higher based on ranks.

Sarah: How dare you! (Pulls her sword) I give you only 30seconds to say what you wanted to tell Peter. Or else this sword will go through your throat.
Peter: Cross say it. You know Sarah she can do it.

Cross: Let her kill me, she had done enough.

Sarah: 28,29....

(Sarah wanted to slay Cross with the sword but Tom blocked it from behind.)

Tom: You can't kill Cross. We have insufficient knights for the war. If you start killing the ones we have now. How do you expect us to win.
Sarah: (Furiously) I hate you!!! Tom! Anytime I want to take any action never In your life block me.

Tom: Cross let's go to my chambers if you won't mind.

Peter: I respect you braveness Cross

Sarah: What is he hiding? If you are man enough let me know. He is just an ordinary servant.

Tom: You can't kill Cross. He has done nothing wrong to you.

Sarah: The king will hear of this. You dumb drunkard.

Tom: What did you just say.

Peter: Prince, leave her. She is just furious.

(Sarah angrily leaves the premises)

(Tom invites Cross and Peter to his chambers)

Tom: Welcome to my chambers, Cross do you have any secret you have been keeping from the kingdom?

Cross: No my lord. But I have something to tell you. That I don't want anyone to hear except both of you.

Peter: What is it??

Cross: King Mane and his men are close to us. They are at the river of Gilae. The river sharing bound with us and Malikos. They plan to attack us at dawn.

Tom: How do you know this?

Cross: Yesterday, someone left the palace and headed for Malikos. I wondered who it was. But wasn't so sure. So I followed the person. To my surprise. I saw a camp of Malikos men ready for war. They both had a conversation. And I eavesdropped and heard they will be attacking us at dawn. All our secrets were revealed to Mane.

Peter: Who is the traitor.

Cross: Sarah my lord.

Tom: Sarah? Do you realise what you just said? (Removes his sword)

Peter: Easy my Prince.

Tom: She is a Royal blood you don't speak of a royalty like that.

Cross: I wouldn't have said this if I wasn't so sure.

Cross: Mane and Sarah are very close. You have to believe me.
Peter: Who else knows about this?

Cross: Your brother Mike.

(In Mike's room. Sarah comes visiting)

Sarah: Hello Mike.

Mike: (Frightened) Oh my Lady you scared me.

Sarah: I have a drink for you. Take this and drink it. You will regain your memory.

Mike: Thanks but I don't want to take it.

Sarah: You think I will poison you? (Drinks out of the liquid) That's it. Now I remember vividly when I was just two.

Mike: (Collects the drink) oh my.... this is bitter.

Sarah: Now try to remember everything.

Mike: (Scared) My lady. What are you doing here? What happened?..

Sarah: Wow, it really worked. What did you remember last?

Mike: I hit my head on...... Where is Cross?

Sarah: He hit you hard on the head?

Mike: I was unconscious?

Sarah: Yes Mike. I gave you the drink that will make you regain every lost memory.

Mike: Oh, thanks so much my lady.

Sarah: Now that you have your memory back... You are Cross roommate. Are there some things not normal about Cross??

Mike: Not normal? I don't understand my Lady.

Sarah: Like does he perform magic?

Mike: We both know how Sorcerers are being decorated In Wallnock if Cross is a sorcerer its a blessing to me and him.

Sarah: Do you notice if he sneaks out sometimes dead in the night.

Mike: No my lady not at all.

Sarah: Mike tell me truth. Do this for you home town Wallnock.

Mike: Cross is a very humble servant. And why the question my lady.?

Sarah: Tell me the truth now!! Remember i brought your senses back.

Mike: I have told you what I know lady he is a humble servant.. (Shivering)

Sarah: What do you know about the war?

Mike: War? Which war. My lady you are forcing words....

Sarah: Cross already confessed that a war is coming and Wallnock should prepare for it. He said you both knew to it.

Mike: Cross? How will he say such thing.

(Cross and Tom still discussing in the prince chambers.)

Peter: Did you just say Mike my brother?

Cross: Yes.. Oh my.... Mike.. Mike... (Runs out of the room)
(Tom and Peter runs after him)

Mike: It was his idea.

Sarah: To do what?

(Cross enters)

Cross: What have we done to have such a visitor in our crib.

Sarah: No no no not again We are having a discussion Cross. Leave us. (Faces Mike) to do what Mike!!?
(Peter and Tom enters)

Peter: Mike are you okay?

Mike: Yes.

Peter: What have you done?? (Faces Sarah)

Sarah: How dare you ask such stupid question.

Tom: Sarah, what are you doing here??

Sarah: It is none of your business ( Bashed out angrily.)

Cross: Mike, hope she didn't get anything from you.

Mike: No Cross. Nothing but she almost did.

Mike: Prince Tom. What a pleasant visit.

Tom: How is your health?

Mike: I am okay now.

Cross: Did he just call you Prince Tom?

Mike: He is the prince of Wallnock.

Peter: How did you know that?

Mike: Don't be stupid Peter. I am from Wallnock I know everything going on.

Peter: You have regained your memory!! (Hugs Mike)

Cross: Wow! My Mike is back!!

Peter: How did it happen?

Mike: My Lady gave me a drink to take and she told me it will bring back my memory. And it did.

Peter: Thanks to her tho. She favoured my soul today.

Tom: Please wait guys.. Are you guys really serious about this?? Sarah the traitor of Wallnock??.. It sounds unreasonable. Don't let this get to the king or queen or else you all will become dead meats.

Peter: Time will tell Tom. We have no time we have a War to prepare for. Let's go confirm what Cross said.. If Mane men are truly at Gilae then we must attack this night. Before it is dawn.

Episode 11

Tom: This is disastrous. I will fight for Wallnock.

Queen Rosalyn: Are you out of your mind?? What do you know about war?

Tom: Mom, I can't just stay here and watch Malikos take over us. It is impossible. I will go with the knights.

Queen Rosalyn: King, can't we just abort this war and give in to Malikos? Going into this war with half of our men is suicidal.

(Cross and Mike enters the palace)

Sarah: Can't you guys see we are having a crucial meeting here?

King Morghdad: No, let them come in.

Sarah: But dad..

King Morghdad: Sarah, I said let them in.

Peter: What are you guys doing here?

Cross: We heard about the unavailability of knights to fight the war against Malikos. And we hereby wish to fight for Wallnock.

Tom: Yes! At least we still have brave people like Cross In our town.

Sarah: Wow! That is great. I really love that.

Peter: No way! Mike is going nowhere.

Mike: I will fight for the town Peter.

Peter: You just recovered. It's not possible.

King Morghdad: Let him go Peter. It's his wish.

Sarah: Yes, and Tom's wish too.

King Morghdad: So shall it be. Cross Mike and Tom should be added to the list of knights immediately. Peter we can do this. We cannot bow!.

Peter: King, I will never train my brother to be killed. I am not going for this war unless my brother is relieved.

Sarah: How dare you go against the command of my father!

Cross: I have an idea.

King Morghdad: Go ahead Cross.

Cross: Why don't we invite people from all over the town to join the knights. I am very sure many out there are looking for the opportunity to work as a knight and live in the big palace.

Tom: What an idea! I will handle that dad. We will never bow to any town.

Queen Rosaly: Malikos is not just a group of people you can overcome with bunch of novice. Let us just bow.

King Morghdad: I said No way! We will fight and overcome. Peter start work immediately!. (Leaves for his chambers)

Queen Rosalyn: Tom are you crazy? None of them will come back alive don't you get?

Sarah: Mom, leave him to his fate. He has a death wish.

Tom: I have made up my mind. I am the prince of Wallnock and I must live up to that. Sorry, but I have a work that must be done. (Leaves the palace)

(Peter Cross and Mike begins sectional training)

(Tom arrives with a long listed list)

Tom: Guys! Good news. I have more than fifty people that registered.

Cross: Wow! We are doing good.

Peter: This will be hard. Very hard. We are not still up to a hundred and fifty yet. And we are going to face a town with over eight hundred knights. Just as Queen Rosalyn said this is Suicidal.

Mike: The problem is that we don't know when the war will really start.

Tom: Very soon Mike, very soon.

(They continue training).

(It is dawn. And as usual Sarah goes to meet King Mane at their camp in the forest. They are close to Wallnock already.)

Cross: Mike wake up.

Mike: What is it Cross?

Cross: Look through the window.

Mike: Oh, that's my lady. Where will she be heading to at this time of the night.

Cross: You want to know? Follow me.

(Cross and Mike follows her)

Sarah: My lord.

King Mane: Oh my darling Omega. Just a matter of time before we conquer for you.

Sarah: Yes my lord. They don't even have up to 200 army.

King Mane: Then I shouldn't have brought up to 1,200 knights then. (Laugh)

Sarah: (Laughs) Even the Prince will be fighting this war. I need a favour from you.

King Mane: What is it my Darling.

Sarah: I want prince Tom dead!.

King Mane: Consider it done! What else do you want?

Sarah: I need a portion that will make someone recover from memory loss.

King Mane: Why would you need that?

Sarah: I need it to get information about a young boy in the palace.

King Mane: Guard, go to Hudson the and tell him to give you memory loss portion. He will understand. Make it fast our visitor is waiting.

Sarah: Thanks my lord.

King Mane: Just give him some minutes he will be back.

(Mike was scared hearing this and he made a noise which attracted attention)

King Mane: Who is there? Did anyone follow you?

Sarah: I don't think so.

King Mane: Men! Set for the north and find out who is spying at us.

(Cross casts magic and distracted them making them go the wrong way. While Cross and Mike headed fast for Wallnock)

Guard: We lost them my lord.

King Mane: What do you mean by that? You don't lose a man on the battlefield. (Kills the guard)

King Mane: You have any idea who they might be?

Sarah: No, but I have no cause to worry.

(The guard arrives)

Guard: Here is the portion my lord.

King Mane: Nice of you. (Hands it over to Sarah)

Sarah: Thanks my lord. I need a companion in wallnock. Like a servant who can always help me in planning.

King Mane: Won't your father ask where she is from?

Sarah: I will tell him from the street of Wallnock.

King Mane: Okay, take Seri with you. She is one of my loyal servants. And she is also a seer. She dreams a lot and when she dreams don't underestimate it. The dream will surely come to pass..

Sarah: That is exactly the kind of girl I want. Seri let's go to Wallnock.

(Mike and Cross gets home)
Mike: We have to inform Peter immediately.

Cross: They are at us already. We have to be very fast.
Mike: How do we erase Sarah? She is the enemy of Wallnock. And you are a sorcerer?

Cross: Its a long story.

Cross: My priority now is saving Wallnock and saving Vera's Mom. Sarah would be after the war.

Mike: Who the hell is Vera's mom!

Cross: Like I said its a long story.

Mike: We are no match for this guys. They will kill us all.
Cross: You saw the talking monkey with Mane?

Mike: Yes, that is a very strange creature.

Cross: Astandara told me about it while I was young.

Mike: Your dad?

Cross: don't worry about who Astandara is. The name of the creature is Fear. It can read minds and it is very powerful and cheerful. But King Mane had enchanted it with black magic and used it for his evil works. I need to get it from him.

Mike: And how will you do that?

Cross: At the battlefield.

Mike: It won't be easy. How will you change an enchanted Monkey.

Cross: I will have to go to the library and read more about the Talking monkeys. If we can get the monkey from Mane. Then we are more powerful then.

Cross: Just believe in your potential that is the key.

Mike: What about Sarah we have to report her. This can't keep going on.

Cross: Leave that to me. She will surely come here tomorrow. She will give you the portion to drink.

Mike: Should I take it?

Cross: Don't you want your memory back? Of course you should take it. But hesitate first. So she won't be suspicious.

Mike: That's nice. I will get my memory back. That's the happiest tale.

Cross: Let's do this Mike.
