ACT TWO
FADE IN.
The Oracle is thrown backwards INTO FRAME and
his back hits the wall. Aleena ZIPS INTO FRAME and she grabs the Oracle’s robe
collar.
ANOTHER ANGLE
Aleena looks angry.
ALEENA
What do you mean I have to give up my
children?
ORACLE
Exactly what it means. I'm sorry, I wish this
didn't have to happen, but if you don't separate them the prophecy wont be
fulfilled.
ALEENA
Why not?
ORACLE
I can't explain. It just wont.
Aleena grits her teeth angrily, then she lets
go of the Oracle.
ON ALEENA
Aleena turns around and gets on her knees.
She rests one arm on a cave bump and feels her forehead with her other hand.
ANOTHER ANGLE
The Oracle steps next to Aleena.
ORACLE
Listen up, your Majesty, I'm not the one who
makes the rules.
Aleena looks up at him.
ORACLE (CONT.)
I'm not the one who makes the choices. Nor is
the fact of Robotnik's tyranny, or of you having to give up your children?
ALEENA
(angrely)
Then who is?
ORACLE
No one.
(pause)
Everyone! God! Who knows? All I know is that
you must give up your children and separate them in order for the prophacy to
come true.
CLOSE ON ALEENA
Aleena turns to the Oracle and looks at him.
ALEENA
Then how will you--
Instantly, Aleena turns her head and whimpers
in fear.
ALEENA
Oh no! I hear Robotnik coming!
WIDER
The Oracle quickly pivots to run in fear.
ORACLE
You have to give them up!
ALEENA
(yelling)
Oracle, calm down!
The Oracle stops and looks at Aleena.
ALEENA
I was just faking it.
ORACLE
Why did you do that?
Aleena walks closer to the Oracle.
ALEENA
Because a fear is when the one thing that
haunts you on the one thing you love will be gone. You're fear is of the Oracle
caves gone. My love is my children and I don't want them gone. I wanted to let
you get a taste of what I'm feeling. How did you like it?
The Oracle stared at her, not saying a word.
Aleena steps back, tears forming in her eyes.
ALEENA
What locations do you suggest I separate them
to?

slow guitar song is heard. Aleena begins
singing while looking over the city, and there are flashbacks of her babies.

I took my love, and I took it down
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered
hills
'Till the landslide brought me down
Angle on Aleena to see that she’s got an
acoustic guitar in her hands, playing.

Oh, mirror in the sky

Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail thru the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life
Ooh ooh I don’t know
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
(plays tad faster)
Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
I'm getting older too

But time makes you bolder
Children get older

I'm getting older too

Oh, take this love, take it down
Oh, If you climb a mountain and turn around
If you see my reflection in the snow covered
hills
Well the landslide will bring it down
And If you see my reflection in the snow
covered hills
Well maybe the landslide will bring it down
Well the landslide will bring it down
