Methodania
Story by: Amanda R. Burton
Act I Scene I
(An unknown country on a planet known to be “Junubi,” a beautiful country ruled by two, a king and his daughter, Shayla, princess of the land, the land called, Methodania. On September 24, 1527, there was the Methodanian war, battle started by the outsiders in the outskirts of Methodania, the war started after an outsider purposely killed a Methodanian child.
Many of the Methodanian mages and summoners were summoned to fight in the war, they were still outnumbered and asked the king to have his daughter, the princess, to participate and fight. After the king gave his word, he allowed his daughter out in the battlefield, under the protection of the imperial guards. Shayla and the commander of the Methodanian army, are rushing down the halls of the temple)
Shayla: Why must you choose me?
Kisaki: (Grabs Shayla’s hands turns left) Because M’lady, you are the only one known in Methodania who can summon and wield magic at the same time, its best if we have you fight with my army.
(Both Shayla and Kisaki run out of the temple, Kisaki and Shayla both discover that the entire army was killed, Methdanian blood spread all over the fields, Shayla and Kisaki are shocked.)
Shayla: W-we were too late. . .
Kisaki: Shayla, go check the southern battlefield.
Shayla: Alright. . .(Takes off)
(Kisaki sends three imperial guards with Shayla, Kisaki searches the northern field.)
Shayla: (Walking around the edge of the cliff) No survivors here. . .I guess I should go back to the Main field.
(As Shayla turns around, someone shows up from behind and grabs Shayla, the stranger flies off with the princess)
Imperial guard 1: LADY SHAYLA!?
(Kisaki catches up, finding the imperial guards searching for the one who abducted Shayla)
Kisaki: Where is she!?!?
(Kisaki was not in the best of moods, he ordered the imperial guards to search the country for the princess.)
(The king wasn’t very happy after he was told that his daughter was abducted.)
Rogue: MY DAUGHTER WAS ABDUCTED!?
Kisaki: I apologize, I shall have - -
(Kisaki was cut off as the king stood)
Rogue: No one sleeps until she is found!!
(After a conversation with king, and eventually, where Shayla was taken)
Demon 1: Oh ho! Who did you bring this time, Terachi?
(A girl of long red hair with reddish eyes, walks towards the leader, she is pulling on Shayla’s arm)
Shayla: Let go demon! I will report this! ONCE I GET BACK!
Terachi: Shut up girl! (Pushes Shayla onto a log bed)
Shayla: (Sits on her knees) My imperial guards will be looking for me!
Terachi: Your guards will not be able to find this clan, there is a strong barrier around it.
Shayla: (Gives an odd look) what kind of demon are you?
Terachi: Eh?
Shayla: I never saw a demon with black wings, red hair and eyes. . .
Terachi: We’re the dragon demon clan, now stay QUIET.
Demon 2: Terachi, may we speak to you?
Terachi: What is it now? (Follows the demon)
Shayla: Now’s my chance to get away. . .
(Shayla leaps off the log bed and heads toward the exit of the cavern, she suddenly finds herself falling off a cliff, Shayla woke up and found herself in a different world.)
Shayla: Oh my, where am I? This isn’t good, and this place is definitely not Methodania,. . .(Stands up) All I remember is falling, and all of a sudden, I was here. I need to find someone . . . in this land. . .
(Shayla gets to her feet and starts her journey; she then stumbles upon a small village)
Shayla: Oh, what a cute little town. . .
(As Shayla got off track, she started looking at the markets, she runs into someone)
Shayla: Oh, excuse me.
Rina: Oh, it’s ok; it was my fault for running into you.
Shayla: Oh?
Rina: Mind me asking? Where are you from?
Shayla: Methodania.
Rina: Oh, I’ve never heard of that. Where is it located?
Shayla: On a planet called Junubi.
Rina: Hmmmm, never heard of it. Anyway, this is Kasasagi town. Planet earth.
Shayla: Oh? So, I wonder how I got here on earth.. . .
Rina: I don’t know, but if you need a place to stay, you can stay with me until you figure out what you’re going to do.
Shayla: Ahh, no thanks, I’m going to start my journey now, but thanks anyway.
Rina: No problem.
(Shayla leaves the town and starts her long journey)
Act I Scene II
(It is about late noon, almost midnight possibly, Shayla was getting tired, she started walking slowly)
Shayla: Oh dear, I'm so sleepy. . .I can't rest now, it's dangerous out here in the woods. . .
(Shayla simply gave up, sitting down underneath a tree and quickly fell to slumber. After a few minutes of sleeping, a stranger was walking by, he had a straw hat over his head and wore clothing of of what a ronin would wear, and carried a katana. Shayla wakes as the ronin stood where she lay)
Shayla: Hmm? What was that?
(Shayla wiped her eyes and stared at the ronin who stood beside her)
Shayla: Wh-who are you? (sits up on her knees)
Kami: Hello, and what are you doing here? I mean, out here? My apology to mess up, I should introduce myself properly, my name is Kami.
Shayla: Hi, no need to aplogize, and my name is Shayla, princess of Methodania.
Kami: Well, this certainly is not what you call Methodania, what is someone from a royal family doing here?
Shayla: Well. . .uh, I don't know how I got here, all I remember was that I was kidnapped and I got away and fell from a cliff, and when I woke up earlier this day, I was here, and I came upon a town, and started a journey to find my way back.
Kami: Interesting. . .I would like to learn from you, if you don't mind.
Shayla: I wouldn't mind, but may we journey together? Maybe you would learn who I am little by little.
Kami: I'd love to, but I don't know. What if any royal guard found me out?
Shayla: My imperial guards? Nah, they wouldn't harm you if your with me.
(After a while, Shayla yawns, Kami notices that she was tired and hasn't slep enought)
Kami: Shayla-sama, you should get some rest, I will watch and stay on guard
Shayla: You should get some sleep as well Kami, I can put a barrier around us.
Kami: Are you sure?
Shayla: Yep, I'm sure. (lays downs and simply fell asleep)
Kami: Umm. . .ok?
(Kami pulls off a cloak he wore over his yukata and covered Shayla, he sat up against a tree right beside shayla and kept on guard,Kami fell asleep after a while)
(Kami awakened the next morning, Shayla was still asleep, Kami stands)
Kami: Should I wake her or not?
Shayla: (wakes up, rubbing her eyes) Did. . .you say something?
Kami: I was talking to myself, did I wake you?
Shayla: No, I've been up for a while now. (Leaning up)
(Kami hears noises coming from beyond the woods, he pulls Shayla down behind bushes)
Shayla: What the!? What are you- - -
Kami: I'm sorry Shayla-sama, but I hear something from within the woods.
Shayla: O-oh. . .
(The voices are coming closer, Kami and Shayla are able to hear the voices clearly)
Shanelle: As I was saying Inasha. . .
Inasha: What? Stupid people equals stupid minds?
Shanelle: You're not even close.
Inasha: Oh well, now what were you saying?
Shanelle: I was talking about that princess who disappeared from her country.
Inasha: Ah, the princess of Methodania.
Shanelle: That was a thousand years ago.
(Shanelle and Inasha walk past, Shayla steps out of the bushes)
Kami: Shayla-sama, what are you doing?
Shayla: Those two know about me.
Kami: You don't know them, you don't know what they could do. You don't know their strength!
Shayla: I don't care, I started my journey to find a way back to my country! (runs off)
Act I Scene II
Kami: Shayla! (runs off, after her)
(Kami runs after Shayla, he finds Shayla and the other two travelers facing eachother)
Shanelle: Another traveler, young girl? Why are you traveling with this ronin?
Inasha: SO interesting to see a beautiful girl with this man known to be a ronin, who's only armed with a simple katana.
Shayla: I chose to travel with him, do you have a problem with that? I can choose wether I want to or not.
Shanelle: Who are you anyway? You're not from around here. What's your name?
Shayla: Shayla, princess of Methodania.
Shanelle: You can't be the princess, that was back years and years ago.
Inasha: (sighs) And she wouldn't look so young.
Shayla: I am to the princess!
Shanelle: Oh? And where are you going to get proof?
Inasha: Only the princess can use Magic and summon an earth guardian at the same time. Can you proof that?
Shanelle: Good one Inasha, we'll battle, just Shayla and I.
Kami: Shayla-sama. . .
Shayla: No worries Kami, I should be fine, you can step aside, you have no need of waisting your time.
Kami: If you wish. . .(sits over by the lake along with Inasha, both not tending to pay attention)
Shayla: I'm saying, I'm not joking, nor am I lying, I AM the princess of Methodania.

Kami: Shayla-sama, what are you talking about> You lyed here after your battle with that ninja.
Shayla: Oh, that's right. . .
(Shayla tries to get on her feet, she lost balance and fell to her knees, Kami rushes to make sure she was ok)
Kami: It's not safe here in the woods.
Shayla: I know. . .(takes Kami's hands into hers) We'll transport to my country.

Rogue: (Develops a disgusted look) you are dismissed!
(Shayla and Kami walk out of the castle, Kami turns to Shayla)

Kami: Than I will accompany you.
Act II Scene II
(Shayla awakens before Kami, she sits up)
Shayla: When will I be able to go out into the lands of my country? I’m sick of running away.
Kami: What are you running from, Shayla?

Shayla: I’m being hunted by a witch, well, a dragon demon. Didn’t I tell you?
Kami: I wasn’t really sure, shall we keep moving?
Shayla: If you’re ready, than yes.
(Shayla and Kami begin their little adventure in the outskirts, they stop at a beautiful white fountain)
Kami: Where are we now?
Shayla: The great fountain of Methodania, a fairy lives beyond it, we come to strengthen your abilities Kami . . . step upon the fountain.
(Kami studies the fountain as he steps up, a light shines and a firl of ice blue hair and an ice blue corset is standing in the middle of the fountain, she speaks)
Mariah: It’s nice to see you, thy princess of Methodania, who is this stranger whom you bring to thy land?
Shayla: My lady Mariah, this is a traveling ronin whom I met in another dimension, his name is Kami. I’ve brought him here, hoping you would strengthen his abilities.
Mariah: I would be glad to overcome your wish, princess.
Shayla: Thankyou. (Bows her head as she walks towards the side)
(Mariah strengthens Kami’s abilities real quick and disappears, Shayla and Kami both keep close to the fountain for a while)

Kami: The sky is turning black...
Shayla: (Looks up) An ambush...!
(Shayla quickly pulled out her staff and kept watch beside Kami)
Daisuke: (Laughs) There you are my darling!
Shayla: Huh? (catches off guard) Who was that? Sounds familiar.
Daisuke: (Pops out of a cloud) I've been waiting for you to show up in Methodania.
Shayla: Daisuke!?
Daisuke: This stranger you're with, is he the one who abducted you!?
(Shayla moves closer to Kami, keeping guard as Daisuke came closer)
Shayla: Stay away, what do you want!?
Daisuke: Have you forgotten? I'm your fiancee.
Shayla: No. . .I haven't forgotten, your my ARRANGED fiancee. . .stay away from me, I don't want anything to do with you!

(Shayla and Kami both split up as they were both taking care of the imperial guards, Shayla doesn't do so and begins towards Daisuke, Daisuke glances at the princess with her weapon)
Daisuke: It's surprising to see you out fighting me, I'm even surprised that you're brave enough, seeing how I am way too powerful, princess, you are putting yourself in danger.
Shayla: Shut up! You're saying so to distract me! You're not realizing that you're fighting the princess of Methodania, also known to summon and use magic both at the same time, which is currently impossible for a normal human being such as I!
(Before Shayla knew it, Daisuke disappeared, two imperial guards grab Shayla and start beating on her, Kami runs toward the princess, killing the imperial guards who have hold on Shayla)
Kami: Shayla!! Shayla! Are you ok?
(Kami held Shayla in his arms, meanwhile, Daisuke disappeared to the palace of Methodania)
Rogue: Ahoy! Daisuke! Long time no see, what brings you here?
Daisuke: My lord, your daughter, the princess, is being beaten by a ronin who was with her!
(Daisuke lied, he made it show that he was worried)
Rogue: Th-that ronin! Guards! Go!
Daisuke: To the fountain of Methondania!
(The king sent out all of the guards to capture the ronin and to bring the princess back safely to the palace)

Kami: I had to protect you! Shayla, I can't flee, I'll feel guilty for leaving you here, injured like this.
Shayla: I've put you in danger. . .
(Kami layed Shayla on the grass, trying to tend her wounds, ten guards of the palace of Methodania had showed up, five grabbed Kami and five helped Shayla and brought them back to the palace)
Rogue: Shayla, are you ok? I've heard this ronin was giving you a hard time, scarring you to bruise!
Shayla: I have no idea what you are talking about.
Rogue: I was told, that this ronin here was beating on you, Shayla, he must be sentenced to death.
Shayla: No, you must understand! It was not Kami who has injured me, it was Daisuke and his guards!
Rogue: SILENCE!
Act III Scene I
Shayla: Father...!
Rogue: The accused on must be locked up until we are able to find proof. My word is clear.
Shayla: (talks under her breath) This all was a set up.
(Kami was taken, locked up. Shayla was talking to her father)
Shayla: Kami did nothing wrong.
Rogue: There is no explanation to this what so ever.
Shayla: No father! I love him!
(The king becomes silent once Shayla spoke)
Rogue: No, you...you don't mean him, the ronin, do you? Yes, it's true, isn't it?

Shayla: I've come to bring you out of this mess.
Kami: Shayla...why must you help me?
Shayla: Kami, it's because..because I...(gives him a kiss) Love you Kami.
Kami: (blushes) There is nothing I can say to that.
Shayla: Let's get out of here!
(Shayla transports back to the fountain of Methodania)
Kami: (looks around) Why do you bring us back here?
Shayla: Kami, there is something I've been meaning to tell you.
Kami: Is there something wrong? What is it you needed to say?
Shayla: Kami, I'm cursed, there is a shard of a powerful crystal in my leg, and it's simply killing me slowly, and once the crystal is nearby, I will feel pain throughout my body, I must keep away, far from any demon.
Kami: H-how do you break this curse? I'm curious.
Shayla: (Closes her eyes, reopens them) Someone has to cut the shard out of my leg, don't bother to do so.
Kami: I want to help you by doing so.
Shayla: I'm not really sure you can, no body was brave enough to do so.
Kami: Shayla, you can trust me to help you with this curse.
Shayla: I rather you not do so, I'm willing to keep the curse for a while now. I apologize.
Kami: I understand Shayla.
Shayla: We should travel to the next town, Harmonia, it's the closest, so we'll go there.
~ ~ ~
(Kairi, a sorceress was having a simple conversation with three harmonian towns people)
Villager 1: No, sorry, I've never heard of this princess of this country called Methodania.
Villager 2: I'm sorry that we are unable to help you.
Kairi: That's fine, I apologize for bothering you.
Villager 3: No need to apologize.
(Shayla and Kami appear in Harmonia)
Shayla: (Spots Kairi) Oh no! (Grabs Kami and hides behind a cabin)
Kami: What is it?
Shayla: You see that girl with silver hair and ice blue dress?
Kami: Yeah.
Shayla: She partners with the witch who is hunting for me. That girl right there is Kairi, a trained sorceress from the outside lands.
Kami: Ah! I see. What do we do?
Shayla: I don't know. I should be asking you that.
Kami: Well, I don't really know, you're the one who knows these people better than I do.
(Shayla looks around the corner and saw that Kairi was gone)
Shayla: She's gone.
Kami: We should keep a look out no matter what, she is of course still here in Harmonia.
Shayla: Yes, you do got a point, how do you plan on getting through?
Kami: I was hoping you would know.
Shayla: (sighs) Let's get clothing and disguise as a Harmonian.
Kami: That's an idea.
(Shayla and Kami hurry over to a small hutch, and changes, they come out differently. Shayla wore a white cloak and veil, Kami hasn't really changed, he only took off his straw hat)
Shayla: (Pauses) Uh, what are we here for? I forgot.
Kami: (sighs) I don't think you really said.
Shayla: Heh heh......Um, it was the nearest town, so maybe I can find information?
Kami: .................
Shayla: Information on the war in Methodania. My memory needs to be refreshed.
Kami: Ook. I get your point.
Shayla: Ok! (Claps hands together)
Kami: What?
Shayla: We trap the sorceress! That's our plan!
Kami: Can you face her?
Shayla: (dumbfounded) Hmm, not really sure.
Kami: Come on!
(Kami pulls on Shayla's arm and drags her to the middle of town)
Kami: We got to act normal, not like you were just now.
Shayla: HEY NOW!
Kami: Ssh! (Swings hand to her mouth) Quiet.
Shayla: Ok, ok, ok! I get it! I'll be quiet! lemme go!
(Kami keeps hold on Shayla, the sorceress is walking towards them. She had a weird expression on her face as she walked past Shayla and Kami)
Shayla: Um, excuse me, Kairi?
Kairi: (Turns around) Yes? Do you need help?
Shayla: Will you come with us?
Kairi: If there's nothing bothering you, sure.
(Kairi follows Kami and Shayla to an alley)
Shayla: (reveals herself) I've looked for you, Kairi.
Kairi: Y-you're.
Shayla: Get rid of this curse you have placed in my leg!
Kairi: You're suppose to be out in Methodania.
Shayla: I'm hiding to get away from your partner!
Kairi: Anxious to get rid of the curse? I see, why you must hid from Natasha. The closer the crystal gets to you, the pain you'll feel through the shard in your leg.
Shayla: Exactly! And I've come for you to get rid of this curse!
(Shayla grabs Kairi by the collar, Kairi looks at her, not caring a word that has come out of her mouth. Kairi grabs Shayla's arms and pushes her away)
Kairi: Figure it out on your own! If you really want to rid the curse, you would find a way to break it on your own, don't come to me, you shouldn't come to your enemy, go to another on your side, who knows of my power.
Shayla: You're the one with the crystal! You're the only one who can rid the curse! I know my people!
Kairi: Than I have no choice but to kill you anyway!
(Kairi lets out her magice, which tossed Shayla out of her reach. Kami catches Shayla, she is now unconscious)
Kami: Shayla! Wake up!
Kairi: My power is too strong, she'll be out for a while! There is nothing you could simply do!
(Kairi holds out her staff, a bright light occurs and she disappears, Kami gets onto his knees and lays Shayla on his lap)
~ ~ ~
Lucia: You could've done better, Kairi.
Kairi: I know...I just wanted to have a little fun.
Lucia: But you've failed!
Kairi: Hey! I knocked her out, we could bring the crystal to her!
Lucia: What an idea! Why haven't you said this as soon as you got here?
Kairi: I wanted to see your reaction..that's all.
Lucia: Ah! Where is the princess?
Kairi: In Harmonia.
Lucia: Call for Natasha! And bring Shayla to this clan!
Kairi: As you wish.
(Kairi summons Natasha to the Caesha clan, Kairi leaves to capture the princess, Kami has Shayla in his arms, walking to hid from Kairi)
Kami: Shayla! Wake up quick! That sorceress could be coming to get you!
Shayla: ..........
(Kami stops at a lake and finds Kairi standing on the waters, Kami lays Shayla on the ground and wields his sword)
Kairi: You naughty boy, carrying they princess of Methodania.
Kami: What is it you want from her!?
Kairi: I simply want her alone, and you're getting in the way of everything!
(Kairi shiefs two blades from behind, she gives a glare to Kami before attacking)
Kairi: These are my wind and thunder blade, I hardly doubt you'll win against me with your katana, which cannot handle a strong battle.
Kami: (Thinks into his mind) Damn, she's right, I am unable to win against her with my katana. . .Shayla, if you can somewhat hear me out, wake up!
Kairi: Oh? You have nothing to say? Taste the wrath of my. . .Swings thunder blade) THUNDER BIRD!
(Birds made of thunder come flying around the sky, they come down to attack until a flash of light destroyed the thunder birds)
Kisaki: Princess Shayla!!
(Kisaki and his army all come after Kairi, before they could attack Kairi, the sorceress has disappeared)
Kisaki: Shayla!. . .Lad, away from her!
Kami: (Backs away) What. . .?
(Kisaki bends down beside the princess and pours green liquid over her body, a light shines and she awakens)
Shayla: Kisaki? What. . .are you doing here?
Kisaki: I heard that you've returned to Methodania, so I started a search party, and luckily, we've found you, are you ok? And who is this ronin it seems to be by your side? You know your father will not like this.
Shayla: That's Kami, and he did no wrong, and wasn't the one who was part of the ambush against Kairi.
Kisaki: Are you sure you're ok?
Shayla: I am fine thank you.
Kisaki: I must now take you to your father, to have him know that your in Methodania.
Shayla: No! I've already been in contact with him a while back before coming to Harmonia, now he knows I must get out of this country until the witch is dead, and along with Natasha and the crystal. (Walks off with Kami)
Kisaki: Wait! Lady Shayla! Must you consist of joining with me to defeat Terachi and the sorcery!?
Shayla: No thanks, I have no intention! I am going to defeat they enemy thy alone, now, good bye.
Kisaki: . . .Lady Shayla. . .
~~~
Lucia: You've failed me, Kairi. AGAIN!
Natasha: Yes, I came here for nothing. . .
Kairi: I apologize, there was an interference with the commander of the methodanian army.
Terachi: Aww, that's too bad for you, Lucia, you thought you could simply rid Shayla that way? Nah, you and that sorceress couldn't simply make it close to the princess.
Lucia and Kairi: T-T-Terachi!?
Terachi: Feh, guess it won't do much unless I kill you both! (Slashes them with the sound of the guitar of death) Not even they could defeat the holder of the guitar of demona, they would need Shanelle, whom wields guitar of life. heh, pathetic they were.
(Terachi killed Lucia and Kairi, she looks over to Natasha)
Terachi: I'm in command of you now. Go kill Shayla with the crystal's power!
Natasha: As you wish, Terachi.
(Natasha leaves, Terachi stays put in the cavern, Kami and Shayla are sitting amongst the sacred fountain)
Shayla: It's a curse that was placed in my leg, and the one with the crystal, can kill me easily with it's power, nevertheless, my family was the one who created it in the first place.
Kami: Is there a way to break the curse?
Shayla: Another who is brave enough to cut my leg and take out a shard of the crystal, and destroy the crystal itself.
Kami: I don't really care what you say, Shayla, but I intend to break the curse.
Shayla: I don't think you are willing to.
Kami: Yes Shayla, I am willing to do so. . .come here.
(Shayla walks over to Kami and sits back down and hands him the dagger of Methodania)
Shala: I can trust you.
(Without hesitant, Kami slowly stabbed Shayla's leg, and carefully pulled out a shard)
Kami: I retrieved the shard.
Shayla: Yes, thankyou Kami.
Kami: let me wrap your wound. (Tears a piece of cloth and wraps it around her leg)
Shayla: We must get going, war is occuring.
Kami: War?
(Shayla begins walking, Kami begins after her)
Shayla: The sky is getting darker, which also means, rain is going to occur in a few days.
Kami: Few days?
Shayla: Oh, the sky warns us when an event is about to occur, if you were methodanian, you would know these things. . .look. . .
(Kami and Shayla come to the reach of the battlefields)
Kami: What are we to do now?
Shayla: We go to the palace, I need to tell my father of my doing,. . .come with me.
(Shayla begins to run, almost leaving Kami behind, he suddenly catches up)
~~~
(Within the palace, Daisuke is having a conversation with the king)
Rogue: Yes, indeed, but I think it should occur tomorrow.
Daisuke: Yes, I hope for this to go well.
Kisaki: (Enters throne room with Shayla and Kami) M'lord, your daughter is here.
Daisuke: Ah!
Rogue: Splendid! Shayla! You and Daisuke are to be wed tomorrow evening!
Shayla: Eh? No! I'm serious! I'm in love with Kami! (Gasps at the end of her line)
Daisuke: Impossible! You're. . .in love with that ronin! This is not allowed!
Rogue: Hush Daisuke. . .
Daisuke: Feh. . .
Rogue: Shayla, if you truly love this ronin, I will not stop you.
Daisuke: But. . .sir!
Rogue: You're dismissed Daisuke!
(Daisuke leaves the throne room)
Rogue: What is it you need Shayla?
Shayla: Father, I've come to you because I have made a decision.
Rogue: I'm interested in what you have to say.
Shayla: I. . .am ready, to fight in the war, the methodanian war.
Rogue: S-Shayla. . .are you sure of this?
Shayla: Of course, every princess must fight to protect her country and people.
~~~
(Shayla and Kami are walking around the ballroom, Shayla is putting on armor)
Kami: Shayla, I don't think it's a good idea for you to be fighting in the war.
Shayla: I don't care Kami, I am doing this for my country.
Kami: I will not allow you to fight!
Shayla: Fight with me Kami.
Kami: Princess Shayla of Methodania, will you marry me?
Shayla: Eh. . .? Kami. . .I. . .don't know what to say. . .
Kami: Shayla, answer. . .
Shayla: Kami. . .yes, I will marry you.
(Shayla than finishes putting on her armor and attaches a sword and shief to her waist, it is three hours later, the army of Methodania and the outskirts are standing on the battlefields)
Terachi: You must forfeit princess! There is no possible way you can defeat me! I am handling the power of the crystal amongst my clan!
Shayla: The power of the crystal is weak, and you must know that Terachi, for my family has created the heart of Methodania.
(There was silence, rain has started to fall, Terachi and the army of the outskirts has wielded their swords and weapons, allowing the methodanian army to do so was well. Kami stands at Shayla's left side, as so for Kisaki on her right)
Shayla: Are you ready Kami? Kisaki?
Kisaki: I'm at your side, Shayla, you can count on me.
Kami: I am with you as well, Shayla.
Shayla: Hmm, alright. (Points to Terachi) Let me handle Terachi!
Kisaki: My army and I will take care of the others!
(Kisaki and his army starts toward the outsiders, they come towards as well to attack, Shayla and Terachi both stay at each end of their troops, waiting for a perfect time to attack, Kami leaves to take care of Natasha)

(In the palace of Methodania, three imperial guards stood infront of the king, he gives a word)
Rogue: Thank you for joining me here, my daughter is out on the battlefields right now, I want the three of you to bring her back here, we cannot lose the heir to the methodanian throne.
Imperial guard 1: As you wish.
Rogue: Go before it's too late!
(The imperial guards rush out, after Shayla, meanwhile, Shayla is fighting Natasha, she strikes with using her magic)
Shayla: Don't mess with me while you're useless!
Natasha: That won't be necessary. . .(Pulls out a flute, begins playing a melody)
(As Natasha was playing her flute, Shayla was also beginning to go unconscious until an arrow was shot at Natasha)
Shanelle: You ok Shayla?
Inasha: We heard that you were in danger. . .So we came this way.
Shayla: Take care of Natasha while I take care of Terachi.
Shanelle: No Shayla, I will get Terachi! She has the guitar of death, so the one who has the guitar of life, will take care of the one who has the guitar of death.
Shayla: You mean, you have it?
Shanelle: I'm surprised you didn't know since I was the one who carries it.
Shayla: No, didn't even think about it until you mentioned it.
Shanelle: (Nods) Now, I'll go take care of Terachi.
(Shanelle leaves Inasha with Shayla, Kami comes toward the princess)
Shayla: I hope she is careful.
Inasha: Don't worry about her. I'll take on some outside warriors.
Kami: Allow me to stay and protect the princess.
Shayla: Alright then. . .
(Inasha left as well, Shayla was grabbed by two imperial guards and the other has also taken Kami)

(Kami and Shayla are standing in the ballroom of the palace)
Shayla: Why one earth now that my father summons me here? This is bad timing.
Kami: Protection.
Rogue: That is exactly why, Shayla, you are to stay here in the palace for protection.
Shayla: No father, I need to go back, they need me!
Rogue: You'll get yourself killed!
Shayla: I know how to take care of myself!
Rogue: Guards! Lock her in her room!
Shayla: No! (Grabbed by four imperial guards, she struggles) LET GO OF ME!!
(Shayla is shut in her room with the door locked, she hears what is going on in the battlefield)
Shanelle: Damn! I need Shayla's power combined with my guitar, where is she?
Terachi: No use of that weapon Shanelle! You and this country are going down!
Shanelle: You won't be so sure Terachi! Have you faced her! No, I don't think so! (Pushes Terachi backwards with her guitar)
(Shayla was banging on the door of her room until the door opened, Shayla backed up and Kami came in, closing the door as he entered)
Shayla: . . .Kami. . .(Gives an evil look) I need to get back on the battlefields!
Kami: I'm sorry Shayla, you should really stay here, it's really dangerous and. . .I don't want to lose you Shayla. . .
Shayla: I don't care! I need to help my people!
(Shayla opens the door to get out, but was pulled back by Kami, he kissed her, but she pushed him away)
Shayla: I'm sorry Kami. . .!
(Shayla ran out and found a blue light coming from the left side of the wall)
Shayla: What is that I wonder?
(Shayla pokes the blue light and it transports her to the battlefield)
Shayla: What in the world. . .Huh?
(Shayla hears a 'clonk' sound, she turns to her right and finds Shanelle and Terachi)
Shayla: Eh? Shanelle!
Shanelle: Shayla? Where. . .were you! (Plays tunes on guitar of life)
Shayla: Nevermind that!
Shanelle: Shayla, theonly way to destroy Terachi, is to combine your power with my guitar!
Shayla: Uh,. . .ok! (Folds her hands together, she speaks in an echoed tone, she speaks in the methodanian language) ESTEEM OCHIA MO KODONAI, ICHI SASHA KOBIEN! MENACE DE MOACH OH YE FRAIN!
Shanelle: (Plays tune) ESTEEM MACH, YE FRAIN!
(Shayla and Shanelle combine their power, you could taste the water in which Shayla let out, you could smell the heat coming from the guitar of life, the area where Shayla and Shanelle, and Terachi were standing, the entire area blows up, Kami and a couple imperial guards are heading their way to find if Shayla is ok)
Imperial guard 2: Lady Shayla!?
(Kami and the imperial guards has reached the battlefield, every warrior were dead, and flames were throughout the fields. And imperial guard finds Shayla, they all gather around the princess, Kami slowly pushes through and finds that Shayla was dead, dead with burn marks on her arms and legs, he picks her up and holds her in his arms, a tear falls from Kami's eyes, Shayla does not awaken. Two of the imperial guards carries the princess to the palace, the war ends)

(Three days has passed since Shayla's death, the war was over and Methodania has lost their princess, Shayla, who lays in the temple of Methodania, the king makes an announcement)
Rogue: Good evening citizens of Methodania, we are gathered today for a moment of silence, in rememberence of Shayla, our princess of Methodania. I know it hurts to see that we lost someone important, if we would please take a moment of silence and think about the hard work Shayla has done to improve of this country.
(As everyone stood silent, somewhere out in the outskirts, was a girl soaken wet, she was heading towards the palace of Methodania)
Shayla: Damn! My body is missing! Everybody must think I'm dead! I gotta hurry before they burn my body!
(Shayla was in a rush, she was completely soaked, during the ceremony in which the king was making a speech.)
Rogue: Now, we will burn the princess's body in the flames of the sacrosanct temple.
(Flames formed around a marble table in which the princess layed, her soul remains, Shayla now awakens)
Kami: (notices that shayla made a move) Shayla. . .!?
(Kami grabs water and splashes the fire, it goes out, Kami runs and grabs Shayla)
Shayla: Kami?. . .Is that you?
Kami: I kenw you were alive, what happened to you?
Shayla: Shanelle and I both combined our power, and suddenly everything blew up, Shanelle and the others were killed, we've defeated Terachi and won. My soul escaped my body for safety, I went to get my body back, and found that my body was already taken to the palace, is that a good enough explanation?
Kami: Yeah,. . .and I'm glad you're ok.
Shayla: Yeah, I was a bit worried as well, Love you Kami.
Kami: Must you go see your father?
Shayla: Yes. . .I must.
(Kami grabs Shayla's hand and walks with her, she comes upon the king)

Setani: Fiancee. . .
Kami: . . .Right. . .
Setani: When I heard of you, I'd thought you'd be unkempt, but I guess I was wrong, I'm even surprised that my father allowed a ronin to wed an upperclassman.
Kami: Well, I do love her.
Setani: Just, take care of my little sister, I'm depending on you.
Kami: Oh, don't worry.

=============
WRitting this is something that had encouraged me to write more, however, I wrote this back when I was in the 5th grade, so you may seem something quite a little off. Right now, 5 years later my friend Rosa, had decided to re-write it for me!
I hope to publish the new version in the future!
