prologue, act i. [voice]

[forestwitch]

W-where am I?!

What sort of fate has fallen upon me now? I demand to know, where am I and why have I been brought here?

Has the wars stopped? Has the chaos been quelled? Tis not Erion, I know that much, but I do not know why I am here. This is a kingdom of some kind. More or less, a village judging by the houses I see before me.

Where is my clothing? I never wore this type of dress before. I do hope I am in the company of friends and not foes…

Surely, I'm being taunted.

Velvet?

...Ingway? Brother, what are you doing here?

[cowardly-prince.livejournal.com]

Much the same as you, presumably. Why...

[scarlet-valor.livejournal.com]

The same as I? Whatever the reason, none would be good enough to explain as to why we are no longer within our world.

...

Tell me, what is it that you last remember?

[cowardly-prince.livejournal.com]

No one is sure of the methods, but we are brought here as captives.

...If I told you something pleasant, would you believe me?

[scarlet-valor.livejournal.com]

I see...

Tell me the truth, Ingway. I have no need for lies! What is it that you last remember?

[cowardly-prince.livejournal.com]

...Death, sister. I know not why I have been revived, only that this is no Netherworld.

...

No matter the reason for your revival, I am just grateful that the last time I saw you wasn't truly my last.

[cowardly-prince.livejournal.com]

And what of you, Velvet? You were undoing the harm I helped to cause, I gather... I trust you've been safe.

[scarlet-valor.livejournal.com]

Ingway, you was lead astray by men we once thought of as wise and good. There is no need for you to bare such sin alone.

I suppose so. The end came and the Cauldron stopped. The last dragon grew its wings and the rest I barely remember.

...There's no point in discussing this further, not now.

How did you find my home, pray tell?

[scarlet-valor.livejournal.com]

How I found your home? I don't know...

I remember my eyes closing from fatigue but once I awoke, I was here.

[cowardly-prince.livejournal.com]

But if you awoke here...

...

[Ingway steps away and.

Picks up one of the "family pictures."]

This is... it's ridiculous...
