[In the church]:
TROUBADOUR: Priest, I just know that the young lady called Isabel is missing since before yesterday, we can make a pray for her and warn the church.
PRIEST: A young lady missing? Let’s, yes, pray. [...] My respectful gentleman who came to this church and look for salvation to yours souls... Souls who are tied in the sin chains and need to be free. [...] Once, a young man saw himself lost in a devil tortuous path. He used to be usury and was blamed by his own boss. He was lost in sin, for he doesn’t regret his own acts, but one day he lost his wife and children and felt so hungry until he made a confession to the church. What there is to us is that many are lost in this world. Not lost because they don’t find the way back to their homes, but lost because they’re not devoting their lives to get to Kingdom’s heaven and loose themselves in the darkness of sins. Imagine the eternal condemnation. Imagine thos

SCENE 17: THE FEAST
TROUBADOUR: Party, big food, drink, music... All I deserve... So, what do you think of this feast? ALCHEMIST: You know that I await your songs, my good companion. But I sometimes feel dread in a series of doubts about the future of this kingdom, because I knew of the princess's disappearance this morning when I went to church. TROUBADOUR: A group of knights and subjects of the queen went to fetch her on the road. Well, my young alchemist, what are the doubts that frighten you? ALCHEMIST: Well, I don't know what will become of tomorrow with so many near wars... It seems that the ambition of man has destroyed the dreams of the humblest children and that wars have cursed our kingdom with the venom of discord. I hardly know what to think... It's like what I heard from the priest, many are really lost, even though they are in their homes... TROUBADOUR: They say that the end is near and that we wil
SCENE 18: THE PRINCESS RETURN
[The princess comes back to the castle]. PRINCESS: Stepmother, after a long trip, I came back to the castle. I believe I’ve lost my dear horse, because I didn’t find him. He was a gift from my dead mother… QUEEN: What? You know you should never leave my castle without previous warning, we sent knights to look for you. We thought you were missing… PRINCESS: I’m sorry for the occurred. I left hurry the castle with one of the horses to look for mine… QUEEN: How dare you to cause this fright in your own family? Well, if you’re looking for your horse, he’s dead. PRINCESS: Oh! [Gasp]. How do you know? QUEEN: Well, I believe you’re too young to be so frightened with a simple animal. There are more important things which we should care about, than to use our time to be sad about it… PRINCESS: What? What are you tal
SCENE 19: RITUAL VICTIM
PRINCESS: I don’t believe it was a gift from my mother, fruit of a legend… [cry]. QUEEN: Calm down… Before all, your dear brother has something to confess to you, please, don’t cry… […]. A long time ago a curse came to the realm: children went to the battles armed with swords, shields and helmets, to wake up a heretic woman who wanted the people as a slave to her privileges. Many gods of black magic took other souls and made them lawful prisons of their ambitions. The corrupted soul of the others donates animal’s blood sacrificed for the food of the Coniferous God. PRINCESS: What happened to Filipe? QUEEN: These days, after riding with some subjects around the village looking for him, Filipe felt very sick and we called a medico to help him. We find out that he has something terrible. PRINCESS: What happened? What does he has? QUEEN: Filipe has syphilis. <
SCENE 20: THE SERMON AND EPIDEMIC
PRIEST: Respectable ladies and gentlemen of this church, I want to tell you about a terrible evil: we're in the shadow of an epidemic. God reveals punishment to disobedient men who don't feel ashamed for their filthy sins. The disease has come to punish those who do not surrender to the way of heaven! Remember that Adam and Eve in eating the forbidden fruit were kicked out of the Eden's Garden. Remember that fornicators are punished by God with the plague! There are lustful sorceresses in this village who bring the curse to this sacred realm! Lost are the souls of those who don't follow the way of the church! Lost are the filthy beings that let the evils of the devil spread out in their houses, making the feast and taking the human being into darkness, into a path full of dark! The holy book condemns fornicators! Remember: God knows all things and punishes those who don't follow his word! The disease is then divine punishment! Repent of every evil! Repent before it's too late!
SCENE 21: THE PRINCESS ESCAPE
PRINCESS: How horrible! How absurd! At this moment I see on the horizon an image of how angels fall from the sky like birds that can't fly and it's like if I was one more among them... Falling into an abyss... Like a shipwreck... There are those who lie in the Kingdom of the Dead and their bodies perishing to this world, inhabit the bottom of the oceans with their hearts heavy as rough diamonds. An anger inside me arises, an aversion. Something so negative takes care of me to the point that I feel like killing who wants to do evil to me. I can't believe this cruelty! I can't believe that someone is so stupid as to want to sacrifice a life in the name of their evil rituals... For me they are no more than fools who worship destruction! I feel a bitterness inside and sadness at the same time... Now the pain makes me throb and takes care of me until I arrive, wanting to tear me with tears! Anguish arises and becomes a shadow of insanity, consuming me like a flame
SCENE 22: THE HELP OF THE ALCHEMIST
SCENE 22: THE HELP OF THE ALCHEMIST ALCHEMIST: Your Majesty, with great modesty... This time I bring you these scents made from jasmine flowers, hibiscus leaves, honey, cinnamon and a little ginger, along with a secret mix of my experiences so you get protect from aging. Sometimes I think that man is united with alliances of communion among all. To feel an energy coming from something that is beyond the customs of our imagination is for a few... Only the most sensitive can see what I see in all the divine signs sent by God... This is what I observe as an alchemist: there are only two bodies within an eye-shaped zodiac where there are the ten signs represented from a crab, a lion, a damsel, a scales, a scorpion, and a centaur with an arrow, a goat and another man with a pitcher by where water comes out. Adam and Eve had been the centers of the Universe, and none is hermaphrodite. It's beautiful to have wh

SCENE 24: THE DIVINE MESSAGE
PROPHETESS: Man was born to unravel the enigmas of the divine nature, to feed his body with the furrow of the trees, to feel the wonderful power in every single creation of every leaf, every fruit, every flower, every seed, every animal, every grain of sand. They didn't hear the flutes and harps of the magical and invisible creatures around us. Can they feel the breath of reverie to strengthen their own heartfelt belief? ALCHEMIST: If the wrath of God burst like the rays of the heaviest storms, if He understand hatred for his servants and at the same time his love with all our blessings? Anger dominates our hearts, devours them with the contagion, leaving our tissues sore, our bodies without strength to face the wars that soon as we let our seconds of time pass, only leaves us the discouragement and the disenchantment to lament for those prayers which we could not do. Let us leave the rivers clearer, with the reflection of gold before we suffer with penance, w
