Scene 4
The lights fade back to Marcus standing at the docks alone. He seems concern as he rocks back and forth waiting for Cornelia to arrive. Cinna is seen approaching the stage heading towards Marcus.
MARCUS
“The time for out departure is long past. Where is Cornelia?”CINNA
“Marcus, the ship soon embarks! Board ye the boat alone, and peace could come to both kingdoms, as Blank so said. Speak, Marcus!”MARCUS
“She told me that she could not live without me.”The section of the sky lights up as several birds appear flying by as Marcus stares at the creatures fluttering about overhead.
MARCUS
“So, the sun is our enemy, too. The eastern sky grows bright. Will we not spread our wings, as yonder birds in joyous flight?CINNA
“Hark, Marcus! They cannot wait any longer! The ship departs!”The bell rings as the ship sounds its horn. It readies its departure from the land. Cinna clasps his hand tightly around Marcus' shoulder giving him a pat before taking off to the ship.
MARCUS
“Could she have betrayed me? Nay, ne'er would my love speak false. I must have faith! She shall appear if I only believe! As the sun lends me no ear, I pray instead to the twin moons! I beseech thee, wondrous moonlight, grant me my only wish!The lights faded away as Marcus slowly walked to the ship. The scene change as the lights slowly centered on William sneaking about the castle. He was determined to settle the score with Blank and King Leo. William continued to sneak about the castle walls till finally making it to a door.
WILLIAM
“Turn your back on thee, Kinsman. And this is thy reward. Blank, thee shalt taste mine steel.”William kicked the door open knocking it off the hinges. He charged into the room to combat his old friend Blank but found Princess Cornelia asleep on his bed. Quickly, he sheathed his sword rushing over to her side shaking her awake.
WILLIAM
“Princess Cornelia!”William shook Cornelia arm trying to awake the Princess. Cornelia slowly opened her eyes shocked to see William standing over him.
CORNELIA
“William! Please don’t hurt me”WILLIAM
“I could nev’r hurt the princess. Thee art mine Kinsmen”CORNELIA
“Thou has’t not sided with mine father like Blank?”WILLIAM
“I am insulted thee side me with those loathsome souls”William helped Cornelia to her feet trying to help her regain her balance from the shock of being kidnap.
WILLIAM
“We must receiveth thee to Marcus. that gent believeth thou has't betrayed his love.”CORNELIA
“Prithee, I love Marcus more than mine own life. Please, William will thee taketh me to him.”As William reluctantly agreed, abandoning his quest for vengeance the two heard shouting from outside the castle gates. William rushed over looking out the window and was shocked to see what was happening.
WILLIAM
“Speaketh of the devil! The blasted fool is trying to breaketh into the castle alone. Apace, we must aid him at once!”William and Cornelia rush out of the room and off of the stage. The lights faded away from set ending Scene 4.
