Chapter 2 - Orphan Of The Cursed well

The story begins right there. Then the Commander sees that the woman is pregnant. She says to the Queen, "My Lady, this woman is pregnant!" The Queen looks at her and, without wasting any time, performs a C-section on that body to take the baby out. She sees that nothing has happened to the baby. The Queen takes the child and gives it to King Argus.

​The King looks at the child and feels great regret that this child has become an orphan because of him. His Knights, on his orders, took the life of that innocent woman. Then the General says to the King, "My Lord, what should we do now? Should we leave this woman's corpse here?"

​King Argus says, "No, she is my subject. All of this happened because of my mistake. Carry this woman's corpse; we will bury her with proper rituals." The scene shifts. The King sets off on his horse toward his castle, Everguard Castle. Behind him, his soldiers also start moving. It becomes night while traveling, and heavy rain begins to fall. Behind one of the King's soldiers, the woman's body is brought wrapped in a cloth and tied to the horse.

​Then Everguard Castle is seen. King Argus, Queen Isabella, General Valerius, Commander Seraphina, and all the Knights' horses reach the Castle and the Castle gates open. Large torches are burning on the Castle walls. They all enter Everguard Castle. Then the woman's body is placed in a wooden Coffin and kept on the holy ground of the church.

​The scene shifts. The King is in Everguard Castle and he is looking outside his Castle. Candles, torches, and the wall curtains are swaying in the wind. King Argus is very angry. He stabs his sword into the ground and looks back, then General Valerius is standing behind him, but he says nothing to the King, just remains standing in silence.

​The King says to the General, "General, I want that Demon at any cost! Take your army right now and search for that Demon in that well!"

​The General says to the King, "My King, it is night time now and there is also heavy rain. Going there at this time could prove to be a very big mistake for us. The paths of that forest will be filled with mud, so our large weapons will not be able to go there. And it is night time; at this time, the Demon's strength increases fourfold. It is not right to go there at this time, My Lord."

​The King says to the General, "Then what should we do? We cannot just sit idle like this. Something will have to be done, otherwise that Demon will not leave any person alive who passes through that path. And if we go in the morning or during the day, that Demon will not come out in the sunlight. How will we get him out?"

​The General says to the King, "My King, we can do one thing. We choose the time of Twilight. We will go there tomorrow during the day, by then the rain will also stop. We will take our horses and large weapons there and pin those weapons behind the trees with large iron stakes, then we will hunt that Demon."

​The scene shifts. We see the baby. Queen Isabella takes him with her. Commander Seraphina is also there. Actually, Queen Isabella and Commander Seraphina are both very good friends. They both are putting the baby to sleep in the Queen's room. Queen Isabella decides that she will not go anywhere tomorrow and she will stay with this child. And just like that, the whole night passes.

​The next day's morning, we are shown large Ballistas. Today, a troop of the army and the King start going into that forest with those machine weapons.

​Visual: Horses are walking in the mud. The rain has stopped but there are still clouds in the sky. Water droplets are falling from the leaves of the trees. Whenever any bird flies and a gust of wind comes, then water droplets fall tap-tap on the knights' head helmets and armor and on the horses who are wearing armor. And the evening sunlight is falling on the King and his soldiers through the clouds and the glow.

​As soon as the King goes there, he tells his army to tie the Ballistas all around the forest towards the well by pinning iron stakes. "I don't want that Demon to pull even a single Ballista towards himself with his power!" All the soldiers start working after hearing this.

​Then the King says to the General, "If the Demon does not come out in the evening, what will we do?"

​The General looks towards his wife, who herself is the Commander of the army and very beautiful too. The General gives an idea to the King that they will set a 'bait' for that Demon!
