Hidden Heart: A Saga Of Redemption

The Tale

Amelia: (poking) But Victor you're not looking like a Prince totally.

Victor: (confusedly) What do you mean?

Amelia: I mean, a prince should have a crown. What do you think?

Victor: (rubbing his temples) Maybe you're right. Do you have anything in your mind?

[She started thinking and started looking here and there, so that she could get something. Immediately she hurried to the kitchen and returned with a small blue colored bowl according to his head.]

Amelia: (quickly) Where is adhesive tape Victor?

Victor: (with widening eyes) It might be there (pointed towards the book shelf's drawer.

[After getting the tape she came closer to him, placed the bowl on his head and fixed it with tape by wrapping it to his ears, chin and beard. She giggled at his look.]

Victor: (disturbed) Hey, my hairs....

Amelia: (gesturing a nice sign with index and thumb finger) Now this is perfect!

[She picked Victor's mobile and took a click of him. He also chuckled at his look while seeing himself in his gallery.]

Victor: (suppressing smile) Is this really me?

Amelia: (snatching his phone) Yes it's you. (Giggling) The real Victor. (Added) Now let's start the story. I can't wait.

[They stood in the living room, their scripts were ready. They both had their dialogues in hand. The atmosphere was filled with excitement as they prepared to act out their story.]

Amelia: (as the Narrator) Once upon a time, in a kingdom far, far away, there lived a brave prince named Victor. (Reading from the paper) He was known throughout the land for his courage and kindness.

Victor: (dramatically) The people of my kingdom are in peril. (Harshly) An evil dragon has been terrorizing the villages, and I must put an end to its reign of terror!

[Amelia giggled at Victor's dramatic tone, but she quickly composed herself.]

Amelia: (nodding as other villagers) Indeed, brave prince. The dragon has captured our Princess Amelia, and only you can save her!

Victor: (determined) Yes. (More dramatically) I will not rest until the princess is safe and the dragon is defeated.

Victor: (as the narrator) With his sword and shield, Prince Victor set out on a perilous journey to the dragon's lair. He travelled forests, climbed mountains, and crossed raging rivers, facing many dangers along the way.

Amelia: (in character as a villager) Oh, brave prince, please be careful! (Rhyming) The dragon is fierce and powerful.

Victor: (smiling reassuringly) Do not worry, dear villagers. I shall return with your beloved princess and rid our land of this menace.

Amelia: (as the narrator) Finally, Prince Victor reached the dragon's lair. The beast was enormous, with scales as black as night and eyes that glowed like embers.

Victor: (shouting) Dragon! Show yourself and face me!

Amelia: (roaring like a dragon) Who dares to challenge me? (Loudly) I am the mighty dragon, and no one can defeat me!

Victor: (brandishing his spatula as a sword) I am Prince Victor from Elysium, and I will not allow you to harm my kingdom any longer!

Amelia: (mock roaring) Ha! You think you can defeat me? Prepare to meet your doom! (Raising voice) You, a pinch of soil.
