Blue star Messiah
(A very cool afternoon in the land of Nolan. An old wrenched woman was seeing at the King’s palace)

King Yuri: Who are you woman?

Seer: I am the seer from the land of Gillae.

King Yuri: Why do you want to see me?

Seer: I have a message to deliver for you my lord.

King Yuri: Go on!

Seer: A messiah is coming.This Messiah will take overr you and your regime. The Messiah will soon be born in this town. He will end your reign and make you as worthless as the guards rags.

King Yuri: (Stands up angrily) How dare you! Do you know who you are talking to? What Messiah are you talking about?

Seer: I am Seer I say what I only see. I have passed the message and now I am clean!.

King Yuri: Take this woman, kill her and feed her body to the eagles of the sky.

Queen Rosa: No my lord. She is a seer from Gillae. You cant kill a seer.

King Yuri: Didn’t you hear what she was saying? How dare her!

Queen Rosa: Take her. Lock her up in the underground prison.

Guards: Yes my lady. (The seer was taken forcefully out of the palace)

Seer: (Keeps shouting) You cant change destiny! The Messiah will surely be born! And shall end your reign. You wicked king!

Queen Rosa: You have to take it easy my lord. She is just a mad woman from the street of Gillae.

King Yuri: What if she is saying the truth?

Queen Rosa: My lord. She is a liar!

King Yuri: I think it is high time you give me a male child. Give me a male child! Who becomes heir to my throne when I am gone!

Queen Rosa: What are you trying to say?

King Yuri: If I don’t have a male child my reign as King would end and the Seer will be right.

Queen Rosa: I have tried all I could to bare a you a male child. But it is not my fault you are destined to bare female children. The priest told us.

King Yuri: I wont take that! Bare me a male child or I disown you and your good for nothing daughter. (Angrily leaves the palace)

Queen Rosa: Come back here!!!!!!! (Screams and the whole building shakes) (Her face becomes so fierce are eyeballs so red and her body gradually turning into fire)

King Yuri: (Paused) I am King, and I rule Nolan. No amount of power you have can overcome me.

Queen Rosa: Really? Just try to have another wife. Or a child elsewhere. Then we can decide if no power can overcome you or not. (Angrily leaves the palace. On her way she meets Ruth the Kings only daughter She is only three years old) Ruth what are you doing here?

Ruth: (Sobbing) Dad screamed at you again?

Queen Rosa: No, its not like that. You heard the wrong side of the story my lady.

Ruth: Am I not a child too?

Queen Rosa: No, you cant think this way. You are a king. You are our hero. Promise me you will be strong.

Ruth: I will be strong.

Queen Rosa: That is my girl. (Carries Ruth on her shoulder)

(Later that evening. King Yuri visited the Seer at the underground Prison)

King Yuri: What you said the other time. Is it true?

Seer: It is true. You don’t have a male child. Who will be next to your throne.

King Yuri: I will marry another wife and finally bear a male child.

Seer: You know your wife is a witch. You know what she can do. Even with her powers she can never bear a male child for you? The gods are annoyed with you.

King Yuri: How did you know that?

Seer: I am seer. She knows the truth. The messiah will be born this month and he is already in Nolan. Once he is born the big blue star will appear on the sky. If that happens tonight your days are numbered Yuri.

King Yuri: I would have asked them to kill you now. But I will spare you for some good reasons.

Seer: Just know anything you do. You cant change destiny.

King Yuri: I am Yuri son of Roja! I will change desitiny. (Leaves the prison)

(King Yuri orders the head of knights of Nolan to an emergency meeting)

King Yuri: I called you here to give you a special assignment. I want you to pick some knights with yourself disguise as assassins and go into Nolan and kill every Pregnant woman there. Not sparing anyone. Including your wives. Is that understood?

Ozil: My lord, we should kill your own people?

King Yuri: Don’t spare no one! Even if it is your mother.

Ozil: (Surprised) But…. (King Interrupts)

King Yuri: Are you trying to defy my orders?

Ozil: No my lord! (Bows his head) It shall be done.

King Yuri: And don’t forget disguise like assassins.

Ozil: Yes my lord.

(Ozil leaves the palace)

Ozil (Head of Knights): (Enters the Blacksmith’s shop) Hello Fardon.

Fardon: Oh, Ozil how are you doing?

Ozil: I am good Fardon. I need you to help sharpen this swords. We have a special assignment this night. (Drops a sack of swords on the floor)

Fardon: What special assignments?

Ozil: Should I be telling you what the king ordered?

Fardon: We are good friends. Just hint me.

Ozil: Okay. I will tell you just for friends sake. (Whispers) A Seer entered the Palace today.

Fardon: A seer?

Ozil: Yes. She came to deliver a message to the king.

Fardon: What did he say?

Ozil: She is a woman. She said a messiah is coming that would dethrone the king and end his family’s lineage as king.

Fardon: (Surprised) What?

Ozil: Yes. The Seer even added the messiah will soon be born and the child is in Nolan already.

Fardon: The Seer must have seen wrong.

Ozil: I don’t think so. Since the king doesnt have a male child and he is not taking another wife. I knew there would be a problem. You cant have an heir to the throne if you don’t have a son.

Fardon: This is crazy. So the Seer was right. So who are you all going to fight?

Ozil: The King is worried about this prophecy and has ordered us to all go sharpen our swords well. This midnight we will go into the town and slay all pregnant women. So this Messiah wont come into existence

Fardon: No, No, this is not cool! There are plenty innocent pregnant women out there. Innocent unborn children.

Ozil: That is an order. Even though I really don’t wish to go ahead with the order. Who am I to defy the King’s orders. You have a pregnant wife?

Fardon: No, no, I am just worried. Unborn kids and innocent pregnant women.

Ozil: The King is always right. Sharpen those blades before i come back.

Fardon: Okay. I will.

(Some hours later)

Ozil: Are you done with the blades?

Fardon: Yes, (Shivering)

Ozil: Blacksmith are you okay?

Fardon: I am fine.I have to get home quickly now. I am not feeling too well.

Ozil:I can see that. You should go home. I think you are =through for today.

Fardon: Yes. I will like to take my leave now.

Ozil: Okay see you tomorrow.

(Fardon quickly closed his shop and ran home)

Fardon: (Hurriedly enters his house) We have to leave now.

Han: (A heavily pregnant woman) What is it? Why so sudden?

Fardon: Just stand up. We have to leave this town right now.

Han: Why? It is late already.

Fardon: (Packing a few things) The King already ordered his men to kill every pregnant woman in the town. In some hours now the killings will start. We have to leave Nolan right now.

Han: So where are we going now?

Fardon: I don’t know yet but we have to leave now.

(Fardon and Han packs a few cloth and left Nolan through the backyard. They had to trek slowly because Han was very weak and heavy)

Fardon: Walk fast.

Han: I am carrying a baby remember? I don’t have the same strength as you.

Fordon: Okay let me carry you. (Sweating heavily)

Han: No, I just need to rest a bit.

Fordon: This bush is dangerous for us Han. They can meet us here.

Han: I have to rest, if you don’t want me dead.

(Back in Nolan)

Ozil: (Forcefully enters house) Kill the pregnant woman.

Man: No you cant do this! Leave my wife alone! (Tries to stop the knights)

Ozil: (Stabs man from behind) To hell with you.

(The other Knight kills the pregnant woman)

(At the Palace)

Seer: (Smiling) Today the blue star will shine and the messiah will be born.

(Ozil and his men have so far killed 9 pregnant women successfully. And are still looking forward to kill more.)

(Ozil and his men gets to Fordon’s house meanwhile no one knows about the whereabout of Fordon. All they know is that he has a shop in the palace where he makes swords and weapons for Knights. No one knows his house or his family)

Ozil: (Meets the door open) I think some people just left here recently.

Rafeal: (Sees a portion of medicine beside the bed) I think they escaped. They know we are coming.

Ozil: (Noticed the trace of Fordon’s footpath) He escaped through the backyard. Knights let us follow this route. We cant let them escape.

(In the forest)

Fordon: We really have to leave here. This place is not safe. The knights will be here any minute.

Han: Okay. (Tries to get up. Suddenly she feels a sharp pain in her tummy) Ouch!

Fordon: What is it?

Han: I just felt a sharp.. Ouch!! My tummy..

(Liquid starts gushing down to the legs of Han)

Fordon: What is this? (Worried)

Han: Oh my…. The baby!! The baby is coming!!!!

Fordon: No! No not this time.

Han: The baby! Ouch!!! (Cries in pain)

Fordon: What do I do now?

Han: The baby is coming! (Ahh!!)

Fordon: I will get a mid wife.

Han: Get a mid wife fast In Nolan. I am dying.

Fordon: Oh my god.. Okay but I cant leave you like this. I have to hide you a little bit. (Drags Han beside a big tree covers her with dry leaves so she wont be noticed.) I will soon be back, let me go get a midwife.

Han: Please be fast. The baby is coming (Groaning in Pain)

(Fordon quickly leaves the forest and heads to Nolan to get a midwife.)

Ozil: So let us split into two. You should all split in two and search the west east and south. Me and Rafeal will take the north.

Knights: Yes sir. (They all split)

(Ozil and Rafeal continues searching the forest when they jam Fordon hurriedly coming out of the forest)

Ozil: Fordon?

Fordon: Ozil?

Ozil: What are you doing here? You can continue searching Rafeal.

Fordon: I… I… just came to cut some herbs.

Ozil: Herbs? There is nothing in your hands.

Fordon: Hmmm.. Really? I didn’t find the ones I wanted. (Shivering)

Ozil: Why are you stammering. You look really nervous.

(Suddenly Rafeal shouts from inside the Forest)

Rafeal: I found the Pregnant woman already!!!! She is here!!

Ozil: (Draws his sword) We will see later Fordon, we have to complete the Kings quest.
