Written by Johnny Patel
***********************************
(In the kingdom of Olympia, Queen Hepthia is in labor)
Midwife 1: Push!
Queen Hepthia: (screams) Ahhhhh!!!
Baby: (cries)
Midwife 1: The first one’s out. (She hands the baby over to the second midwife)
Midwife 2: It’s a boy
Midwife: Yeah, And the second one’s still in there…
(The guards watches over them as the midwives help Queen Hepthia to deliver the second baby and she screams in agony)
Midwife 1: My Queen, PUSH!!!!
Queen Hepthia: (screams) AHHHHHH!
Midwife 1: Push ha-rder! The baby is almost out.
Queen Hepthia: (screams louder) AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
(Few minutes later)
Baby: (cries)
Midwife 1: (she holds the baby) It’s a girl! It’s a miracle! (To one of the guards) Tell the king the good news.
(The guard goes to meet the king, King Dracula )
Guard: My king, The queen has successfully delivered. She gave birth to twins, A boy and a girl.
King Dracula: (screams in excitement) WHATTTTTTTT!!!! This is wonderful news.
(King Dracula rushes to the delivery room)
King Dracula: (looks at Queen Hepthia) My love… (He sees the babies in her hands) They’re adorable. What should we name them?
Queen Hepthia: Malin and Malinda. (she smiles)
King Dracula: Lovely names.
Midwife 1: My King, We should leave her to rest now.
King Dracula: Absolutely.
(Later)
(The head of the Olympian male warriors, Azal, speaks with Alexandra, Who’s also the head of the Olympian female warriors )
Azal: How befitting that the king and queen are blessed with two children at once.
Alexandra: Praise the gods. The future king and queen of Olympia is born.
(Alexandra’s younger sister, Alina, pas-ses by)
Alexandra: (To Azal) Excuse me.
(She goes to meet Alina)
Alexandra: Don’t tell me you’ve been engrossed in a book even with all the jubilation that’s been going on
Alina: Of course, Books are my things and besides, The queen is asleep. She’ll get my congratulatory message when she wakes up from her slumber.
Alexandra: (disappointed) You are nothing like the rest of us Olympians.
Alina: A wise philosopher once said “The dashing of the waves disturbeth him not” (smiles) I shall not be bothered by your comments, sister.
(Alina walks away)
Alexandra: Ugh.
(Months later)
(Queen Hepthia goes to meet King Dracula at the balcony of their room)
Queen Hepthia: Finally, They’re asleep. After so many hours (chuckles)
King Dracula: I guess we’ll have to get used to this then. (He k!sses her)
Queen Hepthia: (she breaks the k!ssand rests her head on his shoulder) Our life is complete now.
King Dracula: Not quite, Something’s still missing.
Queen Hepthia: What is it?
King Dracula: Darling, We’re just ruling Olympia which is shielded from the outside world, The humans out there don’t even know we exist or the wonders of the Olympians. And again, Olympia is just 1% of the world, Think of all the power we could posses if we conquered the whole universe.
Queen Hepthia: We don’t nee-d that, Dracula. We alre-ady have enough, We have food, water, and the gods to protect us. Why else would you possible want the humans of the outside world to know about us.
King Dracula: Because I want to be a Supreme overlord.
Queen Hepthia: Dracula. I’m contented with what we have, And so are the other Olympians.
(She goes into the room and King Dracula looks on dissatisfied)
King Dracula: I can’t just be the ruler of Olympia, I should be ruler of the entire world. (An idea pops into his head)
(King Dracula goes to meet Azal)
King Dracula: Azal, I nee-d you to bring me the sacred scroll of Valdair.
Azal: But my King, Opening that scroll breeds terrible consequences.
King Dracula: Just shut up and do as I say.
Azal: (bows) Yes my King
(That night)
(King Dracula opens the scroll and follows the instructions in it)
King Dracula: (re-ads) “To summon the god of power, One must offer a drop of blood ”
(He lights candles around the room then places a small bowl in front of him, He slits his wrist with a dagger and allows a drop of blood into the bowl then he recites some incantations)
King Dracula: Setesh nachez er nasha nay nu hayak…
(A voice fills the room)
Voice: Why do you call to me?!
King Dracula: Kratos, The god of power, Is that you?
Kratos: Yes, It is I. Now what do you want, Mortal?
King Dracula: I ask for a favor. Make me a king over all. I want dominion over all humans, Both great and small. I want to be a Supreme overlord.
Kratos: I cannot grant you that which you seek, It is forbidden for a mortal to have that much power.
(The voice disappears)
King Dracula: No wait! (enraged) Now I un-derstand, Power is not given, It has to be taken.
(King Dracula summons the god of death)
King Dracula: Thanatos, The god of death, I beseech you… (He cuts his palm and his blood flows into the bowl and he recites some incantations ) Setesh nachez er nasha nay nu hayak….
(The room fills with wind, Just then, Another voice speaks to Dracula)
Thanatos: Why have you summoned me?
King Dracula: Thanatos, I ask for a favor. I want to be invincible and fearless, I want the entire world to bow and serve beneath my feet. I want to conquer all.
Thanatos: Very well. And what are you willing to give in for such power?
(King Dracula lifts his head up)
Thanatos: An eye for an eye, A tooth or a tooth…. A son for power, You will sacrifice your first born son.
King Dracula: Deal.
Thanatos: This is a sacred bargain, Once made, It cannot be broken.
King Dracula: I said deal.
Thanatos: Very well. We’ll make a pact. A son for power, Power that’ll allow you to conquer not just Olympia or the entire universe, But the very gods of Olympia. You will be as strong as Hercules, As fast as Hermes and you will have dominion over the dead, just like Hades….
King Dracula: Do it.
Thanatos: Not yet. You will have to fulfill your promise to me.
King Dracula: If that be the case…
(King Dracula leaves the room and returns with a slee-ping Malin)
Thanatos: Place him on sanctuary.
(King Dracula does as instructed)
Thanatos: Now bring his soul to me.
King Dracula: Forgive me my son….(he raises up his dagger and stabs Malin)

plea-se don’t comment next or next plea-se
***********************************
(King Dracula cleans the blood off the dagger)
King Dracula: It is done.
Thanatos: Very well.
(A large mist surrounds the room and when it disappears, King Dracula sees a small dagger with a ru-by embe-dded at its t©p)
Thanatos: Take the dagger.
(Once King Dracula gr-abs hold of the dagger, His b©dy starts shaking)
King Dracula: Ahhh! What’s happening?! (He doesn’t get any reply) Thanatos? (He convulses then dies)
(Few seconds later, He reawakens. Just then, His skin turns pale just as his eyes turn blood red then his teeth lengthen into fangs. King Dracula is reborn, As a vampire)
(At the guard’s quarters)
Male warrior 1: Azal, The sacred scroll of Valdair has gone missing.
Azal: I know. I took it.
Male warrior 2: (puzzled) Why?
Azal: The King asked me to give it to him, I didn’t know what he intended to use it for.
Male warrior 2: According to legends, Opening the scroll will breed terrible consequences.
Azal: I told him that but he didn’t listen.
Male warrior 1: We have to find King Dracula immediately.
Azal: No. You keep guard over the castle, I’ll find him.
Male warrior 1: Okay
(Meanwhile)
(In King Dracula’s and Queen Hepthia’s room)
Queen Hepthia: (t©uçhes King Dracula’s side of the be-d ) Dracula? Dracula? (She gets up from the be-d) Where could he be?
(She walks down the hallway and sees light coming from a room)
Queen Hepthia: Huh?
(She enters the room and sees Malin’s dead b©dy on the sanctuary)
Queen Hepthia: (shocked) Malin! No! No, no, no, no…. It can’t be… (she cries as she clutches onto his dead b©dy)
(King Dracula appears behind her)
King Dracula: He’s dead, Hepthia.
Queen Hepthia: (she stands up and turns around) Demon!
(She attempts to gr-ab the sword hung on the wall but King Dracula vamp speeds to her and st©ps her attempt)
King Dracula: Hepthia. Its me.
Queen Hepthia: (g@sps) Dracula? How did you do that? (She looks his face then at Malin’s dead b©dy) And how did this happen?
King Dracula: I made a deal with Thanatos, The god of death. He promised to give me power beyond this world only if i sacrificed my first born son. I’m sorry, I had to do it.
Queen Hepthia: You killed your son, Your own flesh and blood, Just to become this….?
King Dracula: Not just that, Think of all the power I now possess. I’ll rule the world.
(Enraged, Queen Hepthia gr-abs the sword and swings it at King Dracula’s head but he dodges it just in time)
King Dracula: (he holds her wrist firmly) You have a choice, Join me or die.
Queen Hepthia: I’d rather die along with my son than be your puppet.
King Dracula: If that’d be your wish…
(He pins her to the wall and extends his fangs, Prepared to svçkher blood. At the last minute, Azal barges into the room)
Azal: Get away from her! (He points a sword at King Dracula)
King Dracula: Azal, It’s me.
Azal: My King?
King Dracula: Yes. The gods made me reborn, They gave me everything i nee-d to conquer the entire world. We will have dominion over all!
(Azal bows to King Dracula)
Azal: If my King wishes to conquer the entire world, Then so do I.
King Dracula: That’s what I thought. as-semble the Olympian male warriors, We’re taking over the outside world.
Azal: Yes my King.
(He leaves the room)
King Dracula: (he looks back at Queen Hepthia and runs his hand throu-gh her cheeks) Forgive me my love…
(King Dracula knocks out Queen Hepthia then leaves the room)
(Meanwhile)
(Alina is re-ading a book at her window side when she catches sight of King Dracula and the male Olympian warriors leaving the castle)
Alina: (confused) What’s happening?
(She rushes to Alexandra’s room)
Alina: Alexandra! Alexandra! Wake up!
Alexandra: (she wakes up) Uhhh, What’s the matter?
Alina: Something’s wrong, King Dracula and the male Olympian warriors are heading to the outside world, It’s war!!!
Alexandra: What?! Where’s the queen?
Alina: I don’t know.
Alexandra: We have to find her.
(Alexandra and Alina searches for Queen Hepthia around the castle and eventually finds her unconscious)
Alexandra: (taps her) My queen, Wake up…
(Queen Hepthia regains consciousness)
Alexandra: My queen, King Dracula’s gone to take over the outside world along with the Olympian male warriors
Queen Hepthia: That cannot happen! as-semble the Olympian female warriors! (She looks at Malin’s b©dy for a moment) I will avenge you…
(Queen Hepthia goes to gr-abs her armor, sword and shield rushes to st©p King Dracula)
(At the boundary of Olympia)

Queen Hepthia: Last chance, Dracula. Leave the outside world alone.
King Dracula: Surely, You do not wish to challenge me, Do you? (To the male Olympian warriors) ATTACK!!!
(The Olympian male warriors advances to the Olympian female warriors and the fight is on, The male Olympian warriors re-ady their bows and shoots numerous arrows to the female warriors, killing them. Meanwhile, A male warrior rushes to one of the Olympian female warriors named Philomena and she stabs him with her spear, Another one rushes to her but Alexandra intervenes and quic-kly overpowers him)
Philomena: You are the most greedy on the battlefield, Alexandra.
Alexandra: My sword is thristy, Philomena. It must get it’s fill.
(Two more male warriors advances to them but Alexandra easily defeats them)
Alexandra: (she looks back at Philomena) Like I said.
(Alina watches from a distance)
Alina: Oh my god, So much blood being spilled…. (she closes her eyes and recites a quote from one of her favorite books) “As a rock on the seashore, He standeth firm. And the dashing of the waves disturbeth him not. In the instant of danger, The courage of his heart sustaineth him and the steadiness of mind beareth him out” (someone t©uçhes her and she g@sps in fear and opens her eyes to see who it is) Alexandra?
Alexandra: I as-sure you, Alina, A sword and a shield will do you more good now than a quote from some dead philosopher.
Alina: I do not belong on that battlefield, sister. I am not a warrior.
Alexandra: Yes you are not. But if you cannot fight like a warrior then you will at least DIE like one!
(Alexandra hands Alina her sword then pushes her down the battlefield and she bu-mps into a large male Olympian warrior)
Large Olympian male warrior: (he raises up his axe)
Alina: (scared) plea-se don’t…
(Just as he’s about to kill her, Philomena appears and blocks his attack with her spear, Saving Alina)
Philomena: (sm-irks) You really are hopeless, Aren’t you little one?
(Philomena kicks the large male Olympian warrior in the groin, bringing him down to his knees then she knocks him out with her spear, Just as she turns around, Another male Olympian warrior cuts off her left ear with his machete)
Philomena: Ahhhh!
Alina: Philomena!
(Alexandra kills the male Olympian warrior that attacked Philomena and walks to them)
Alexandra: She has earned her courage, Where is yours Alina?
(Alina lifts up an unconscious Philomena’s head and blood drips on her hand)
Alina: Oh no, Philomena….
