[Play] A Hand Grenade Loose in King Arthur's Court - Act 2, Scene 9

 Scene 9

Herald One and Herald Two come on stage


Herald One

All throughout the land, people began to remember the thousands of lives they had lived before.


Herald Two

Lives lost and loves won.


Herald One

Skills gained and promises kept


Herald Two

Wisdom earned and secrets unlocked


Herald One

And so it was that Camelot aged that day


Herald Two

And thus the earned wisdom gained them a martial hand


Herald One

Its true.  Even the lowlist field remembered the last battle fought before the loop was run, a thousand thousand times


Herald Two

Mordreds forces, already harried by Grenademan’s insane devices, became routed


Herald One

And there was much weary rejoining.


Herald Two

And much bittersweet sadness, for all were resolved that this would be the last life they would live


Herald One

And so it was that many lives were changed that day.  Not all, of course.  Some were perfectly content as they were and always had been and always would be.


Herald Two

Never underestimate the capacity of a fool to be such.


Herald One

But for more


Herald Two

For most


Herald One

They awakened in them something new.  Thus the golden age of the West, its time of innocence, the foundation of half the nations of Europe and those that became imprinted on that culture as an ideal, became something more.  Much more.


Herald Two

A golden age of philosophy, science, art, literature, justice, and good governance.  There were still wars and plagues and calumnies but for some


Herald One

Some


Herald Two

There spread in the root of time on many earths a golden age that changed them for the better, and the game board became a foundation of democracy; the worlds changed, the stories changed, and when it was understood that Good does not need to end in tragedy or the unobtainable, betrayal and dust, they changed their thinking


Herald One

Wolves of the pack; to be proactive and fierce in protecting their liberty and freedoms, but protecting their own and nurturing the good of all for their own self interest.


Herald Two

Frank Noble, AKA Grenademan, had undone the curse they did not even know they were under.


Herald One

But his work was not done yet.


Herald Two

One more act for the hero to perform.
