Scene Three
[ABIGAIL walks on wearing her outfit from the previous scene. It’s a dimly lit room in the basement of the castle. This is ABIGAIL’S room. She hangs up the painting, then takes off her head piece and shakes out her hair reviling she is a woman. She sits in a chair looking at her painting with her hand on her cheek where OLIVIA kissed. There are footsteps from off stage that she doesn’t seem to register and KING AURTHER I and PRINCE AURTHER II enter.]
KING AURTHER I
See, I told you it was her!
PRINCE AURTHER II
You little rat. That is my painting!
[ABIGAIL seems to slowly register what is going on and turns to face the two men with a hand still on her face.]
KING AURTHER I
[Whispers to himself.] Mostly your painting… I use it from time to time.
ABIGAIL
You left it just hanging there…
PRINCE AURTHER II
In my room behind locked doors… and guards!
[PRINCE AURTHER III runs on stage out of breath.]
PRINCE AURTHER III
Grandfather! Father! It wasn’t her fault!
ABIGAIL
It’s okay Art, they caught me red handed.
KING AURTHER I
So, you admit to stealing the painting?
ABIGAIL
[She sighs then stands up.]
How else would I have it?
PRINCE AURTHER II
Do you think its okay to talk to your grandfather like that?
[Walking closer to ABIGAIL.]
You never give us any respect!
[Grabbing ABIGAIL by the arm.]
Do you even know what respect is?
PRINCE AURTHER III
Father, leave her alone.
KING AURTHER I
[Putting his hand on PRINCE AURTHER II’S shoulder.]
Let’s go Aurther, I think you proved long ago that you weren’t capable of the self-
restraint needed to discipline a woman. I don’t think you want your son watching another

one of your failures.
[PRINCE AURTHER II let’s go of ABIGAIL but stays close by.]
PRINCE AURTHER II
Tell us who your accomplice was.
ABIGAIL
Who?
KING AURTHER I
Just tell us the truth and this will be a lot faster.
PRINCE AURTHER III
Its no big deal, she just stole a painting of some lady. I don’t even know why you have
that painting anyway.
PRINCE AURTHER II
No big deal? She made a fool out of the entire royal family in front of the whole
kingdom.
KING AURTHER I
That includes you, Arty.
PRINCE AURTHER III
So? We’ll just say we caught the thief and ground her for like a month. That’s fair.
KING AURTHER I
This is more serious than that.
ABIGAIL
If its so important to you, why don’t you try to find my -so called- accomplice yourself?
PRINCE AURTHER II
We just might, even if we have to visit every house personally.
KING AURTHER I
I think we will do that… Arty, you’ll be coming with us. Aiding in the theft of royal
property is a very serious offence. Very serious indeed.
PRINCE AURTHER II
And I’ll be taking that back.
[Walks over and takes the painting from the wall.]
[KING AURTHER I and PRINCE AURTHER II exit.]
PRINCE AURTHER III
What’s with you? You’re normally all over them.
ABIGAIL
Thanks Arty, they always go easier on me when you’re here.
PRINCE AURTHER III
You’re dodging the question. [Crosses arms.]
ABIGAIL
[Almost like a child on Christmas.] I met someone.
PRINCE AURTHER III
Outside of the castle? Who?
ABIGAIL
The beautiful lady that stopped the guards.
PRINCE AURTHER III
That was a girl?
ABIGAIL
Yeah… [Crossing arms and giving ‘a look’.]
PRINCE AURTHER III
Its just… the laws… You know?

ABIGAIL
So? In the words of grandperv, [Making her voice deeper.] “I’m royalty, I’m above the law.”
[PRINCE AURTHER III puts one hand on ABIGAIL’S shoulder and gives a worried expression.]
It will be fine; besides, you’re next in line for king and I trust you with my life.
PRINCE AURTHER III
Ignoring the fact that I’m not king yet, how do you know that she even likes you? I
mean… did you like… kiss… or something?
ABIGAIL
[Playfully shoving PRINCE AURTHER III.]
Grooosss! Don’t ask about that! Brothers aren’t supposed to care!
PRINCE AURTHER III
[Embarrassed.] I’m just asking because I don’t want any guy... or gal to break your heart.
ABIGAIL
It’s not your job to protect me.
PRINCE AURTHER III
No one else is here to do it. You need someone you can count on.
ABIGAIL
Fine, I guess I can tell you.
[Pause.]
[Quickly.] She doesn’t know I’m a girl.
PRINCE AURTHER III
What?
ABIGAIL
[Sigh.] She doesn’t know I’m a girl.
PRINCE AURTHER III
Yeah, yeah, that’s what I thought you said.
[Deep breath.]
Are you insane! What are you going to do when she finds out? What are you going to do
when Father and Grandfather find out?
ABIGAIL
She was masked. And they have no idea that I like her.
PRINCE AURTHER III
We are going to every single house tomorrow. They are going to find out.
ABIGAIL
That’s where you come in. Since you are going, make sure they don’t suspect her.
PRINCE AURTHER III
Lying to our father and grandfather? Abigail you are bound to be the death of me.
[Fade to dark.]

The Ruined Monks of Rothfield Monastery
Erin is the youngest member of the dark monks; a supernatural brotherhood whose ultimate mission is to improve the dire circumstances of poor, war-torn villages using powers unique to each member. Or so he was led to believe. Erin, like his brothers, does not age, and that is, unfortunately, the only trait he shares with them. He cannot charm or compel like Woodrow, he cannot cast illusions like Knox, he was not swift like Swithin, not powerful like Blake. He was barely an assistant to his dear brother Wilbur, with his herbology and alchemy. He was told to lie low and make himself scarce. That is what he did. The dark monks temporarily reside in abandoned monasteries scattered around the country, feeding the poor and healing the sick, nurturing the monastic lands until it was fertile enough to raise crops and rear animals. As the years passed, they would leave these reformed, repopulated, self-sustaining monasteries and venture froth to help the next settlement. Yet, after years of toiling and quiet servitude, Erin notices that people and the country itself are declining. The villagers look gaunt, the once-lush soil now barren and cracked. He begins to feel disheartened, thinking that their mission is proving futile. Still, their leader Blake is steadfast and charges onward, and lately has his eyes set on a certain monastery in a thick, thorned forest that seems to diminish, even nullify their powers. A thick forest that Erin somehow has a connection to. A thorned glade where an ethereal voice calls his name with one simple request along with a promise:Heal the land, child. Heal the land and I promise to give you sanctuary so long as you stay. I promise to nurture you as you nurture me. As Erin cultivates the land, the land, in turn, gifts all its caretakers with new, enhanced skillsets on top of their unique powers -- skills of protection, healing, and magic. Magic. Erin had long wished to see the world fill with it again. The people, regardless of common or noble blood, still believe that magic will enter this world again. Magic to bless the king like it did the Saints. Magic to dispel the miasma befouling the world. Magic to bring back the fae folk and their many forms. It is up to Erin to forge the many paths leading to a bright future; to build a prosperous paradise that welcomes all races and bloodlines, by mastering the rewards gained through agriculture, horticulture, and animal husbandry, smithing, crafting, and fishing. Erin may also find a lifelong friendship and romance with his neighbor, Claude, if he decides to pursue him, and may even join him in the military campaign outside the monastery. The darkness still lurks outside, after all, and the mastery of his skills, along with a few good friends, may finally be enough to turn the tide in their favor. Most of all, Erin wants to keep the vow he set for himself: to protect everyone and everything he loves until his dying breath.
