Nathan: (sm-irks) Or not…
(Nathan quic-kly puts the gem in his satchel then throws smoke pellets at the policemen, Then hoists himself back up the ceiling vent )
Policeman 2: He’s gone.
Policeman 1: (throu-gh his walkie-talkie) I nee-d every available policeman guarding the museum entrance and exit, A thief just snuck into the museum and stole the gem.
(Outside the museum)
Cooper: (he hears the police van siren) Oh no, What’s happening?
Hank: I think they’ve caught Nathan.
Cooper: (he t©uçhes his earbud) Nathan? Nathan? Can you hear me? (To Hank) He’s not responding (he sees some policemen) Oh $h!t, We’ve gotta get outta here before they find us and take us as Nathan’s accomplice.
Hank: Wait, You’re just gonna abandon him?
Cooper: It’s either that or I end up in jail with him.
(Cooper leaves)
(Meanwhile)
(Nathan sneaks outs of the museum and sees two policemen, They shoot at him but he dodges the bullets and makes a run for it and they give chase. He keeps on running and st©ps at a can-al)
Nathan: Here goes nothing….
(Nathan jumps into the can-al)
Policeman 2: Where’d he go?
Policeman 3: I don’t know.
Policeman 2: Well we can’t go back without him or the gem. (points) You head in that direction and keep your eye out for him. I’ll follow this way.
Policeman 3: Okay.
(They split up)
(Meanwhile)
(In Olympia)
(Malinda clim-bs on t©p her horse and Alina approaches her)
Alina: Off to explore?
Malinda: I doubt there’s any p@rt of Olympia I haven’t explored yet. I’m just taking a walk, Wanna come along?
Alina: Thank you but I prefer the excitement of a good book. (She holds up a book)
Malinda: Alright then. See you later
(Malinda takes off with her horse)
(Meanwhile)
(Nathan wakes up in Olympia)
Nathan: (looks around) What the heck…. Where am I?
(Nathan sp©ts some ladies bathing down the river and he peeps at them)
Nathan: Good Lord, This is too good to be true…
(Just then, An arrow flies past him. He turns around and sees Alexandra and two Olympian female warriors running towards him with their bow and arrows aimed him)
Alexandra: An intruder! Get him!
Nathan: Oh no!
(Nathan runs off and Alexandra chases him, Just then, Malinda appears besides her on her horse)
Malinda: Alexandra! Is it true that there’s an intruder in Olympia?
Alexandra: Yes
Malinda: I can help you catch him…
Alexandra: Go home princess, That is an order!
Malinda: I’ll take that un-der consideration…
(Malinda smiles at her then runs pasts Alexandra on her horse)
(Meanwhile)
(Nathan evades them by climbing at©p a tree)
Nathan: (sighs) I wonder who those crazy chicks are, And where the hell am I?
(Nathan jumps down from the tree and turns around to see Malinda)
Nathan: (frightened) Ah!
Malinda: Surrender, Intruder. You cannot escape.
Nathan: That’s not gonna be possible, I’ve made a hobby out of running away from people!
(Nathan runs off once more and Malinda chases him, She catches up to him and jumps on him, Taking him down)
Nathan: (gets up from the ground) Woah, A lady who can fight… I like you alre-ady
(Malinda kicks him in the groin and throws a punch to his jaw, knocking him unconscious)
(Later)
(At the castle)
Queen Hepthia: Where is this intruder you speak of, Alexandra?
Alexandra: This way my queen…
(Alexandra leads her to a room and she sees Nathan on the be-d with Malinda watching over him)
Alexandra: I was out hunting when I sp©tted him. He’s not an Olympian.
Queen Hepthia: I can see that.
Alexandra: Before he could cause any detriment, Malinda captured him and brou-ght him here.
Queen Hepthia: Malinda, I’ve warned you to stay out of danger.
Malinda: I was only trying to help.
Alexandra: And I have to admit, She did a good job this time.
(Nathan regains consciousness)
Nathan: Uhh, Where am I again?
Queen Hepthia: Welcome to Olympia.
Nathan: Olymp….What?
Queen Hepthia: Olympia, A gifted land protected by the gods and seperated from the outside world. You must’ve unknowingly ventured into our kingdom.
Nathan: Yeah, And I’d like to get back quic-kly and… (He looks around) Oh no! No, no, no… Where’s my satchel?
Queen Hepthia: You mean this? (She holds up his satchel)
Nathan: Give that back. What’s in it is very precious.
Queen Hepthia: I’ll hold onto this for a little while. But don’t worry, You’ll get it back once I figure out a way for you to go back to your world.
Nathan: Listen lady, I nee-d that back right now and… (glances at Malinda) Wow, You’re really pretty.
(Alexandra throws a punch to his face)
Queen Hepthia: That’s enough, Alexandra. (To Nathan) We’ll keep you here until we figure out a way to get you back to the outside world.
Nathan: You’re holding me prisoner?
Queen Hepthia: I’m doing what is best for my people.
(Queen Hepthia, Alexandra and Malinda leaves the room and locks Nathan inside)
Malinda: Mother, You don’t nee-d to keep him here for a long time. I can guide him back to the outside world.
Queen Hepthia: The outside world is not a place for you, Malinda.
Malinda: But Mother….
Queen Hepthia: This interlocution is concluded.
(Malinda angrily goes to her room and finds Alina there)
Alina: (notices her mood) Another disagreement?
Malinda: Yes! Mother, Can I go here? No. Mother, Can I go there? No. (gro-an s) It’s always no. You know what? I’m tired of all these babying, I am an adult! And I have the right to decide what path I choose to take.
Alina: All I can say is that the heart wants what the heart wants, Even what is worst for it.
Malinda: You’re right. I’ll be right back.
(Malinda goes to the room keeping Nathan and she unlocks it)
Nathan: (gets up from the be-d) Ohh, It’s you. What do you want?
Malinda: Come on, I have to show you something…
(Malinda takes Nathan out of the castle)

(Malinda and Nathan take a walk along a river)
Nathan: So what’s the thing you want to show me?
Malinda: That was a lie. I just wanted to get you out so we could talk.
Nathan: About what?
Malinda: What’s it like in the outside world?
Nathan: Its unpredictable, There are ups and downs. Well, I’ve never really seen the good p@rts of life. I’m just a common thief who lives in a two be-droom ap@rtment.
Malinda: (sighs) I wish to see the outside world, To know what it looks like. But my mother would never allow me.
Nathan: Why?
Malinda: She’s “protecting” me. (she scoffs) I can take care of myself, You know, Even though I grew up without a father, I’ve never had a problem with that.
Nathan: What happened to your father?
Malinda: It’s a really long story ( she glares at him) I’m surprised you didn’t flee when I freed you.
Nathan: Well I can’t just leave Oli-p….Olymp….
Malinda: (corrects him) Olympia.
Nathan: Yeah. I can’t just leave Olympia without my satchel and your mother has it.
Malinda: Yup, I trust she won’t give it back to you until you’re re-ady to head back to the outside world
Nathan: bu-mmer.
Malinda: Sorry about kicking you in your groin
Nathan: It’s ok. I’ve healed.
Malinda: (smiles)
(Malinda and Nathan stare at each other for a moment, Just then, Alexandra shines a flashlight on them)
Alexandra: Malinda, Your mother has been looking everywhere for you. She wants you back in the castle. Now!
Malinda: (sighs) Fine.
Alexandra: (To Nathan) And you’re coming with us.
Nathan: (puts his hands up) I didn’t object.
(Malinda, Nathan and Alexandra head back to the castle)
Queen Hepthia: Where were you?
Malinda: Mom, I was just out taking a walk…
Queen Hepthia: A walk? This late? And with a total stranger? (sighs) For going against me, You will be punished. Now go to your room till a think of befitting punishment.
Malinda: (gro-an s angrily) Ugh.
(Malinda leaves the throne room)
Queen Hepthia: (sighs) What am I going to do with her?
Alexandra: I can shoot her in the leg, To keep her in place.
(Queen Hepthia glances at her)
(Next Morning)
(In the throne room)
Queen Hepthia: (To Alexandra) Summon the outsider. Let him know that I’ve prepared my mind and I’m re-ady to let him go back to the outside world.
Alexandra: (bows) Yes my queen.
(She goes to Nathan’s room)
Alexandra: Get up. The queen wants to see you.
Nathan: I just hope it’s something good.
Alexandra: It is. She’s re-ady to let you go back to the outside world.
Nathan: Uh, Finally!
(He gets up from the be-d and leaves the room with Alexandra)
Nathan: So where is the h0t chick, You know, The princess…
Alexandra: Her name’s Malinda.
Nathan: Yeah, Where is she?
Alexandra: (smiles) Let me let you in on a secret… (she whispers in his ear) I will personally castrate you if I see you within five inches of her.
(Alexandra leaves Nathan in shock)
(In the throne room)
Queen Hepthia: I’ve summoned you here because I’ve made up my mind to let you go.
Nathan: Okay, Acceptable…
(Three Olympian female warriors enter the room and stand behind Nathan)
Nathan: Errr… Who are these chicks?
Queen Hepthia: That’s Nyla, Aurastine and Tamara. The three of them will guide you back to the outside world safely. Alexandra would’ve gone with you but she has matters to attend to.
Alexandra: I don’t even wanna go to the outside world.
Queen Hepthia: (She hands Nathan back his satchel) May the gods go with you.
(The three Olympian female warriors leads Nathan out of the castle)
(Meanwhile)
(Alina goes to the King Dracula’s tomb and sees Malinda there)
Alina: Malinda, I’ve been looking all over for you and what on earth are you doing here?! You know your mother will be furious if she finds out you c@m£ to this place.
Malinda: I just c@m£ here to have some quiet time and you know, This is probably the quietest place in all of Olympia. And besides, My mother worries about me a lot.
Alina: She just has your best interest at heart. By the way, You should know that your mother is prepared to let the outsider head back to his world and she wants three Olympian warriors to follow him.
Malinda: Ugh, My one chance to see the outside world has been ruined.
Alina: (smiles) The heart wants what the heart wants.
(Malinda smiles back at her for a moment then leaves)
(Alina enters the tomb)
Philomena: Where is the princess?
Alina: She’s gone to beg her mother for a second chance to take the outsider to the outside world
Philomena: Ugh, I wonder when she’ll un-derstand that her mother knows what is best for her
Alina: The heart wants what the heart wants, Even what is worst for it. (giggles) I nee-d to go get my favorite book, I’ll be right back.
(Philomena stares at Alina with narrowed eyes as she leaves the tomb)
(Later on)
(Alina returns to the tomb with the book as Philomena sharpens her sword)
Alina: I had a feeling that the arrival of the outsider will bring forth a new era for Olympia.
Philomena: (without any emotion) Or perhaps it’ll only bring a return to darker times.
Alina: (she backs Philomena) Be optimistic, Philomena. You see, There’s a quote which enables me to feel happy even in times of distress. (She opens her book and re-ads) “As a rock on the seashore, He standeth firm and the dashing of the waves disturbeth him not. In the instant of danger….”
(Just then, Alina g@sps and drops her book as Philomena drives her sword throu-gh her heart)
Philomena: (snidely) Yes. I know the quote well and it aided me very much in recent times. Shall I finish it? (she looks at the book and re-ads) “… In the instant of danger, The courage of his heart sustaineth him and the steadiness of his mind beareth him out”
(Philomena re-moves her sword from Alina’s che-st and drops her on the ground)
Philomena: Forgive me, Alina. But it’s just like you always say…. The heart wants what the heart wants, Even what is worst for it.
(Philomena walks to King Dracula’s chained coffin. She breaks the chains binding the coffin and fearlessly opens it to sees a desiccated Dracula, She then re-moves the garlic surrounding him)
Philomena: (thinks) There has to be a way to awaken him (She looks at a dying Alina) I have an idea…
(Philomena gr-abs Alina and slits her wrist then her blood drips on Dracula’s mouth, resurrecting him)
King Dracula: (he opens his eyes) Philomena?
Philomena: Arise my King, Your reign is about to begin….
