GODS AMONG US: RETURN OF THE LOST STAR

CHAPTER 3: BRAVE

(It's been thousands of years since the great war of Uranus and Brathos.
Now, as then, a beast approaches, Patient and confident. Savoring the meal to come. But this beast is made of soldiers and horses, swords and spears. An army of slaves, vast beyond imagining. Ready to devour cities of Rivendell Ready to snuff out the world's one hope for reason and justice.
A beast approaches. And it was
King Trygon himself who provoked it.)

(Trygon and Alexio practices combat moves in the castles yard while Queen Themis watches.)

TRYGON: Now the more you sweat here, the less you bleed in battle. My father
taught me that fear is always a constant. By accepting it...it makes you stronger, invincible.

(Chiron walks to the queen.)

CHIRON: My queen, A Croxian emissary awaits King Trygon.

(Trygon continues to train with Alexio)

TRYGON: In the end, the Revean's true strength is the warrior next to him. So give respect and honor to him. And it will be returned to you..(Themis approaches. He turns to Themis)..
What is it?
THEMIS: As expected, A Croxian emissary awaits you..
TRYGON: right...Do not forget today's lesson, my son. Respect and honour.
ALEXIO: Respect and honour.
TRYGON: Chiron, you found yourself needed for once.
CHIRON: My king and queen, I was just entertaining your guests.
TRYGON: I'm sure.

(Trygon and his elders meets with the Croxian emissaries and they take a walk through the beautiful garden inside the castle walls.)

TRYGON: Before you speak, Croxian, know that in Rivendell....everyone,
even a King's messenger, is held accountable for the words of his voice. Now, what message do you bring?
MAN 1: Land and water
TRYGON: You rode all the way from Crox for land and water ?
THEMIS: Do not be coy or stupid, Croxian. You can afford neither in Rivendell
MAN 1: What makes her think she can speak.?
ALEXIO: you dare speak of the queen of the elder gods.... (Trygon smiles knowing the messenger has pissed him off)
TRYGON: Let us walk to cool our tongues.
MAN 1: If you value your lives over your complete annihilation...listen carefully, Trygon...Tron and Rein conquers and controls everything their eyes rests upon. They lead an army so massive, it shakes the ground with its march. So vast it drinks the rivers dry. All the elder gods requires is this. A simple offering of land and water. A token of
Rivendell's submission to the will of Tron and Rein.(Trygon anger grows as he slowly pulls out his golden staff)
TRYGON: I am ruler of all of Rivendell, ruler of the nine realms and father of the elder gods. You dare to speak of surrender. Well, that's a bit of a problem. See, rumor has it the Kandorians have already turned you down. And if those philosophers have found that kind of nerve then We must be diplomatic. And of course, Riveans ...have their reputation to consider.
MAN 1: Choose your next words carefully, Trygon. They may be
your last as king. (The royal knights draw their blades)
TRYGON: land and water.(he whispers bowing his head, he flashes back to all the times he had suffered to raise Rivendell, the wars, the lives lost, all the struggles he had gone through to protect those he loved. Trygon is enraged. Rivean guards suddenly surrounds the emissaries with a snap of Trygon's finger. Alexio, Raz-el and the other generals draw swords)

MAN 1: What is the meaning of this!? Madness. This is madness!
TRYGON: land and water. You dare to defy me!
MAN 1: No god, no one threatens a messenger
TRYGON: (with a thunderous voice) you! Messenger! I am your god! You insult
my queen. You threaten
my subjects with slavery and death. Oh, I've chosen my words carefully, Croxian.
Perhaps you should have done the same.
MAN 1: This is blasphemy! This is madness!..
TRYGON: madness? Madness!(he uses his golden staff to obliterate the messenger. The rest try to fight back but they are all slaughtered)

CHIRON: my king...don't you think we should reconsider? Tried to reason..
TRYGON: hold your tongue, general.

(In a war council)
