RECORD OF LODOSS WAR
EPISODE #5
"THE DESERT KING"

	Narrator	
The war between the gods of light and darkness reached a climax in 
which the mother goddess of the earth, Marfa, and the malevolent goddess, 
Kardis, battled to the end.
After the fierce battle, the two goddesses perished like a flame flickering 
away on the newly created land which was separated by the battle.
This land was later named by the people as the cursed island, "Lodoss."

(episode title)

	Narrator
After rescuing the Princess Fianna from the mysterious witch, Karla, Pan and 
the others were taken to the kingdom of Vallis as heroes. Indeed, for them, 
this was the beginning of their ill-fated destiny.

AT FAUNN'S CASTLE

	Faunn
You are invited here as guests. Please raise your heads.

	Slayn
No, we're not worthy to.

	Faunn
Since you brought back Fianna, we now know the status of the war. Please...
Would you please give me your name?

	Pan
Certainly, I'm Pan.

	Faunn
Pan?

	Soldier
Wha'?
<He sees wyverns>
King Kashue... That...

	Kashue
Wha'?

	Soldier
It's a beast.

	Kashue
Calm down. 

	Soldier
Wha'?
	
	Kashue
Look closer.

	Guard
It's Prince Jester.

	Jester
I pity the poor horses running all the way to Vallis

	Kashue
Are you going far?

	Jester
We're scouting only up to the northern border where Mysen lives.

	Kashue
I see.

	Jester
Looks like we'll be able to have a drink again.

	Kashue
The country of Moss has moved.
<They enter a dark forest>
Whoa. Whoa
Who are you?

	Karla
The self-indulgent Karla

	Kashue
Karla? What do you want with me?

	Karla
Shalt I offer Lodoss?

	Kashue
What?
<Karla uses her magic to suppress him. He resists and starts up his horse, 
scaring her away>
Whoa. Whoa.

	Guard
What happened, Your Majesty?

	Kashue
No, nothing. 
Okay then, let's hurry.

CASTLE PARTY

	Eto
You wouldn't have even thought that a war is about to begin.

	Slayn
Would hiding the possibility of war really work?

	Eto
Wha'?
Pan. Deid

	Deid
This is the first time I've dressed like this. How do I look?

	Fianna
Oh, both of you look splendid. Eto, you should have changed also.

	Eto
Uh, no, I musn't. I'm a priest.

	Fianna
Did they teach you that you aren't ever allowed to take off your priest 
robes?

<Wood sees the procession and leaves>
	Wood
Bogus

	Slayn
Wha'?
<He sees Gim>
Gim
Is something wrong? 
Gim

	Gim
Wha'? Uh...what? I just had a little too much to drink.

<Back inside, the minstrel begins to sing>

	Minstrel
The six lights were called the "Six Heroes."
One was a knight, dressed in white armor with a holy sword, he is the King 
of Vallis, Faunn.
One was a warrior, who defeated the evil spirits, he is the Emperor 
of Marmo, Beld.
One was a dwarf, he is to never return from the land of death, King Flevae.
One was a magician, with a pool of knowledge, he is the sage, Wort.
One was a priestess with the feeling of protection like a mother, she is the 
Priestess of Marfa, Neese.
Finally, there was a fighter of magic who stayed nameless, one light which 
flew away...

<Door opens which disturbs the minstrel>

	Crowd
Wha'?
K...Kashue

	Crowd
Ohhh, King Kashue...

	Deid
Hey, who's that?

	Pan
He's Kashue Arnargue of Flaim.

	Deid
Him?

	Pan
Yeah, he's the mercenary soldier who united the desert land of Flaim, 
travelling only with his sword.

<Outside, near Vallis, Ashram stands on the outskirts with his army>

	Ashram
So, it's the frontier defence of Vallis known for its bravery.
Forward.

	Guard
Oh, it's Marmo.

<Ashram kills him>

IN THE CASTLE

	Faunn
Let us pray we meet again soon.

	Kashue
Under the protection of Falis.

	Ladies
What is that made of?
How beautiful
Really
How beautiful
Isn't it?

	Deid
<She sees Pan>
Ah
<She goes to him>
It's tiring just laughing for no reason at all.
<She looks at his unanswering face and sees where he's looking at>
Wha'?
<She sees Kashue>
It's too hard to move in this. Why do humans get so excited about these 
things?

	Pan
Yeah

	Deid
My regular clothes suit me better.
Isn't that so, Pan?

	Pan
Yeah

	Deid
<She blows off>
Pan

	Pan
Wh...wha'? Wh...what do you want, Deid?

	Deid
Forget it.

	Pan
H...h...hey, Deid!

THE CASTLE GUARDS' BARRACKS

	Wood
<laughs> 
Sorry. This is a good day.
Okay, let's roll. Gamblin' or war has no bearin' on winnin' or losin'.

	Soldier 1
Well, I'll be going.

	Wood
Hey, old man, you tryin' to sneak away?

	Soldier 1
We have to get back in the prison before they worry.

	Wood
Hah, ya workaholic. Ya make me sick.

	Soldier 2
Well then, say "hi" to Naba for me.

	Soldier
I'll say it while his head is still connected to his shoulders.

	Wood
Naba?
Hey, what did he do?

	Soldier 3
He killed his commanding officer.

	Soldier 4
He got drunk and became violent. 

	Soldier 5
While he was drunk in a broken down place, he mistakenly killed his 
commanding officer when he came in.

	Soldier 6
Yep

	Wood
Oh
Okay, here I go. There

	Soldiers
Wha'? You...

	Wood
U...uh, oops

JAIL UNDER THE CASTLE

	Naba
Wha'?
<Karla has him under her power> 
Ka...shue. Ka...shue

IN BALLROOM

	Deid
It appears that dancing wasn't in the priest's training.

	Lady1
King Kashue's wonderful.

	Lady2
Truly, not only is he a wonderful swordsman but a wonderful dancer as well.

	Deid
Pan

	Pan
Wha'?

	Deid
We're dancing!

	Pan
Uh, h...h...h...hey
No...I...
W...wait.
I don't know how to.
Oh

	Deid
It's okay. 
I'll lead. Calm down and take it easy.

	Pan
Uh, okay

<Naba goes up the stairs>
	Naba
Kashue

	Wood
Owww, those guys came all at once. Damn those guys. Wha'?
<He sees Naba>

	Naba
Kashue

	Wood
That guy...
<He spits>

BALLROOM

	Deid
Calm, calm, easy, easy, perfect. What a great feeling. See, you can do it.

	Pan
Uh...uh
<They hit King Kashue>
Oh, pardon me. Ah, oh, King Kashue

	Kashue
Oh, these heroes are this young.

	Pan
Uh...

	Kashue
You came here to fight?

	Pan
Yes

<Deid gets disappointed with Pan and leaves to the veranda>
	Deid
Gim

<A lady screams>

	Wood
Wha'? Oh...

	Kashue
Quickly, King Faunn

	Guard
Aye

	Naba
Kashue
Kashue

<He slams down. Kashue and Pan dodge. Kasue takes his weapon out. Pan 
tries but notices it's missing>

	Pan
Wha'?

	Wood
Pan, use this.

	Naba
Kashue

<Kashue kills Naba with Pan's temporary weapon>

	Wood
Owww, why can't Falis heal better?

	Eto
Falis has no mercy for thieves.

	Deid
Pan
Wha'?

	Gim
He's at practice. He sure was overwhelmed with the atmosphere of war.

	Deid
Oh

AT A TRAINING ARENA IN CASTLE

	Kashue
Don't turn your shoulder. Use the strength of your hips.

	Karla
Kashue

	Pan
You

	Kashue
Do you know her?

	Pan
Your Majesty, she's the witch who carried off Princess Fianna.

	Kashue
What?

	Karla
Your Majesty, was that sideshow to thy liking?

	Kashue
You mean that man?

	Karla
Leave me be thy strength for Lodoss.

	Pan
For Lodoss?

	Kashue
Hmph, get away.
<He throws the sword at her>

	Karla
As thou wish. Beware of thy open back. King Kashue, the great mercenary 
soldier king

	Pan/Kashue
Wha'?

<She returns the sword>

	Pan
Sh...she vanished.
Wh...what the...?

	Kashue
He's here.

	Jester
I am Prince Jester, here to see King Faunn.

AT THE MEETING ROOM

	Faunn
Now, Pan, the enemy, are they just not made of humans?

	Pan:		
Yes

	Jester
We went scouting and confirmed it. The northern border is completely...

	Sorcerer
That's impossible.

	Faunn
We must calmly accept the truth. Tomorrow morning, we must set up for the 
front line.

	Sorcerer
Aye

	Jester
Then, we must turn over our defense to Vallis.

	Faunn
It cannot be helped.

	Kashue
Your Majesty, we have another problem.

	Faunn
Karla

	Kashue
Yes, the witch, Karla, may be part of the Marmo attack

	Sorcerer 1
Karla, wasn't that same name in the legend of the Kingdom of Magic?

	Sorcerer 2
She's a legendary witch.

	Kashue
We should ascertain her origins.

	Sorcerer 1
Yes, the great sage, Wort, may know something.

	Faunn
Wort?
But who will go to the land in that sector? 
It is not a safe road.

	Kashue
King Faunn, I have a suggestion.

	Faunn
What is it?

	Kashue
I think Pan is perfect for that duty.

	Pan
Wha'?

	Beld
Time has drawn closer.
Demon Sword, can you feel it? Lodoss kneeling before us.
Faunn

	Faunn
Beld
