Chereads / Horses in the Falcon / Chapter 614 - 30

Chapter 614 - 30

Diar heads in to the inn to figure out where you're all going to stay, and you're back to the big question on your mind: which play are you going to perform? You left the decision until you got here, unsure which of the scripts you've completed would be best for a rustic audience.

You could do something light and funny. There's Love is Blind, the story of twins separated as babies. One was adopted by a rich family and one by a poor family. They both wind up in the big city. When the rich boy falls in love with a girl in the flower market and the poor boy falls in love with the daughter of a great merchant, hijinks ensue. The resolution is that the twins decide to trade places, each gaining the woman he loves. It's funny, it's sweet, and it will leave the audience feeling good.

Or you could do something martial and historic. You've written a history about Livia Amafia, a warrior queen who lived a thousand years ago and is really more legend than anything else. It's about honor and friendship, love and valor, and how a model ruler acts. Yes, your Livia is more model than history, but nobody really knows much about the history, right? The important thing is to say how a good ruler should behave.

Or you could do something tragic and terrifying. You've also completed The Summoning, about a scholar who summons an evil spirit in hopes of achieving fame and power, only to find that the spirit twists their bargain to its own ends and slowly consumes him and everything he cares about. He dies bereft, his evil deeds coming back to haunt him. It will scare the pants off people!

Which will it be?
