Redemption [Stage Play Script]

Script 2

Arthur: What do you mean, Avalon?

Avalon: Call me Ava this time only. After this, I won't be angry that you call me Avalon.

Arthur: Ava... (Sighs and is a bit uncomfortable.) Please answer me, what do you mean by what you said? It is true that I have never seen my master in my entire life in my own eyes and whenever we meet, a black curtain separates us. My master's voice was always muffled, too, to protect who he might be.

Avalon: I understand.

Arthur: Ava... I should have been the right person to die... Not Darius... Now I don't know how to protect you.

Avalon: Darius died for our sake, Arthur! It wasn't just for me! He told you to kill him so that he could protect you from danger, too against your master! To strengthen the lie of my family, to protect me, he protected you!

Arthur: He could have chosen a better way... I regret killing him... I regret everything I've done in my whole life! My hands are stained with blood and after I killed him, I remember every faces streaked with fear and tears as I mercilessly devour their lives! But he was different... when I shot him... as he lay on the cold ground drowning in his own blood, he never showed a haunted, miserable face but he died with a smile!

Avalon: He returned your emotions that your master took away... I'm pretty sure that he's happy.

Arthur: He didn't return my emotions that I thought I threw away... you returned all of it to my heart. He only helped you return them to me.

Avalon: Arthur... do you know where your master resides in?

Arthur: Why?

Avalon: To end your battle and to set you free. I have to meet the person who took you away from your father and laid you in a battle you don't deserve... lastly, I have to meet that person who had a deep grudge to my father...

Arthur: You talk like you know something, Avalon! Tell me, Ava, did Victor asked both of you to sacrifice your lives for me? If so, please don't do this!

Avalon: I asked you to call me, Ava, am I right? I thought he was dead and I was so surprised when I met him again... He approached me and asked me, yes... To help you feel again. To help open your eyes to the truth and return what was lost since the war, your life.

Arthur: If I guide you where my master is... you'd be in danger and Darius's sacrifice will all be for naught!

Avalon: You are an important person to me, Arthur. Let me do my way now... to show my soul to you!

Arthur: (Hugs her tight.) Are you sure with your decision?

Avalon: My decision is set, Arthur... I have to meet that person.

Arthur: I will let you meet my master in one condition.

Avalon: What is it?

Arthur: Allow me to atone my sins if both of us survive this last battle. Do you promise to wait for me until I am truly free?

Avalon: I will and I swear. (Both do a pinky swear.) Finger cut-off, ten thousand fist-punchings, whoever lies has to swallow thousand needles. Arthur, while atoning for your sins, swear to me, too that you wouldn't forget me and I will always be in your heart!

Arthur: I swear... Ava... (Hugs her.)
