(SOMEWHERE IN THE ISLANDS OF DANES)

Fiora - No, I can't jump. You are so tall.

Darwin - Let me help you then.

Fiora - Your shoulders are too high. I can't take a high jump like you.

Darwin - Well, it was just a jump....not a high jump.

Fiora - Look at you ...you are the frigging mountain.

Darwin - It been a while .. I don't remember when the last time I looked at myself.

Fiora (interrupting) - I will bring you the mirror next time. Maybe I could do something to make your face a little more attractive.

Darwin - No .... just no ..you are not messing with my face.

Fiora - I'm kidding.

She touched the arm of Darwin Slade.

Fiora -Waoo It is so hard as a rock.

Darwin - Yes.... waoooooooo. (Smiling)What did you say at home?

Fiora - That I went to get flowers.

Darwin - But it won't take that much time.

Fiora - Yes ... I will say something. Why are you worrying so much ?? .hmmm ....hmmmm ....hmmmm ??

Darwin - Don't act like a pest.

Fiora - What is your age?

Darwin - I never counted that.

Fiora - Just think about it.

Darwin - Forget it. I won't be able to.

Fiora - Just remember the time when you saved me earlier.

Darwin - Okay.

Fiora- How old were you then?

Darwin - I was five then.

Fiora - No way.

Darwin - What?

Fiora - You are just 11 years old... just eleven years. I'm 17.

Darwin - Ohh

Fiora - You are just a little kid but I can't see a kid in you.

Darwin - The way I'm growing, I think I will die when I will be your age.

Fiora - Maybe this is not your regular size even. We are human ... our bodies grow until 21.

Darwin - I'm human too.

Fiora - Yes, You look like human too.

Darwin (shouting) - I said I'm human.

Fiora (sarcastically) - wooo ...ohhh ...I'm afraid. Somebody help me from this human. I'm afraid.

Darwin - Huh.

Fiora - Ohhh little baby. Don't cry. Your momma's here.

Darwin - Will you just shut up?

Fiora - oooo ..my little baby ...is crying ..ooooo .

Darwin - Very funny.

Fiora (laughingly) - Now take me home.

Darwin - Are you ordering me?

Fiora - Little kid always listens to their elders.

Darwin - Shut up you pest.

Fiora sits on his shoulder.

Fiora - Now shoot.

Darwin - Shoot where?

Fiora - That place where you spend most of your time... a place where u kill your time.

Darwin - There's a rock between the fields where I fell asleep amid the flowers.

Fiora - Let's see your favourite place then.

Darwin (started walking) - Well, It's not my favourite. But why are you so eager to know?

Fiora - Well, You know I get bored... so easily. So, I need to keep myself excited.

Darwin - Else?

Fiora - I will die of boredom.

Darwin - Huh.

On reaching that rock between the field of shrubs and bushes.

Fiora - It's so beautiful . What you do here?

Darwin - Daydream.

Fiora - About what?

Darwin - Can you smell the air? The sweet odour and the velocity ... It gives me hallucinations.

Fiora - Ok.

Darwin - Have you heard of Denia?

Fiora - The land of Gods.

The other Wredd is near the borders of River Lerraine and Doakes which is not a rocky and desert area. There are some few stalls with a cave.

Wredd - Hello? Anybody's here ?....(deep voice) What the hell? Hello?

Ricki - (sarcastically) Who died?

Wredd - You have grown old, you pig.

Ricki - No frigging way. Am I too high or what?

Wredd - It is real me, you bastard.

Ricki - Brother, Hug me and tell me how the hell are you frigging alive?

Wredd - You got something for me?

Ricki - I will lay down my breathe for you..... Well not literally. How come are you alive? They say you are dead. The frigging father slayer is dead.

Wredd - Blow me kush, I will entertain your high with my whole frigging story.

Ricki - There is so much advancement. Brother, look at this. It's called Wolf's Blood. It will give you high for approximately 5 hours. You smoke it and you won't feel cold even in heavy snow. That's why I named it Wolf's Blood.

Wredd - Now I'm thinking why it is cool to have ears.

Ricki - Pass me that pipe. Let's feel the blood together.... brother.

Wredd - Just one puff then I will be going.

Ricki - No way brother ... you can't. You have to stay.

(After smoking three pipes.)

Ricki - There's another you. Damn, This is crazy. This stuff...This is good.

Wredd - Well there's a price on my head. If someone asks about me, just astray them.

Ricki - That's a risky brother.

Wredd - How much do you get?

Ricki - No, No ... How much do you want?

Wredd - Again... How much do you get?

Ricki - Do you have camel skin bag? Otherwise. it will get moist.

Wredd - Nope.

Ricki - Here it is. You are ready.

Wredd - How much is it?

Ricki - It's enough for a few months. It's 5 kgs. Plus there are some compliments for revived Brother.

Wredd - What are those?

Ricki - This wolf's blood is so good. Everybody is liking it. Its demand is increasing. Here are a pipe, some stones and musky clothes made from indigo . It's very good.

Wredd - Pretty well for you. Well, did someone replaced me?

Ricki - Yup, I have one rich customer . I think he is a thief or something. He doesn't look rich.

Wredd - Even you do not look rich.

Ricki - I'm poor my darling.

Wredd - Bite me, you swine. Take care.

Ricki - You take care, my brother. Don't you die again? Just remember you got one brother here who will die for you.

Stacy - What about food?

Wredd - I get it but you will stay here.

Kyla - I could also help.

Wredd - Yes, everybody is helping each other. We have to take a watch. One will keep watch while the other two will sleep. It will be me only who would go out to bring food.

Kyla - What if someone comes and you ain't here?

Stacy - Yes.

Wredd to Stacy - Then press your chest then.

Stacy - What the hell?

Kyla - He would feel the same movements in his chest too.

Stacy - There are many more things left.

Wredd - This is highly indicating and distinctive.

I can easily make out that you guys are in danger unless...

Wredd - You are a kid.

Stacy - Go to hell. Do you think I'm gonna rub myself in this situation?

Wredd - I was just saying.

Stacy - Get the hell off.

Kyla - Ohhhh.

Both - Shut up kid.

It was still a day. Kyla was keeping watch. Wredd and I both slept.

Wredd - Do you like it?

Phoebe - How many times I have to tell you?

Wredd - Tell what?

Phoebe - Don't you ever come here and I hate gifts. Take back your chain. I don't want it.

Wredd - You know I love you.

Phoebe - Don't follow me. Yes if you want to have me in bed forcefully then be it . Let's go.

Wredd - What is the matter with you?

Phoebe - How many times do I have to tell you? .We can't be together. My caste is inferior.

Wredd - I don't give a damn. I will be king.

Phoebe - That is the first thing I hate about you.

Don't create a scene now . Please leave.

Wredd - Only for now.

Phoebe - Don't you have self-respect?

(Fading Memories)

Phoebe (Shouting) - Wredd, Help me

Shouting continues

Wredd woke up from the dream and he shouted at top of his voice, "No, Phoebe ". He sat where he was asleep. Tears rolled down on his cheeks.

I asked him if he was alright and he replied positively.
