Before Us Short Story
Storyboard Tekst
- About 90 AD, Roman Empire...
- Objection!
- By the law of Rome, I, Emperor Lucian, sentence you to death.
- In the midst of the court, a loud cry rang across the room, along with a symphony of gasps and whispers.
- Father, let her go. I was the one who let her into the palace.
- It's Princess Clelia!
- The Emperor's Daughter, why is she here?
- *GASPS*
- Clelia strode across the pristine floors of the courtroom halls, eyes wild with a fury with all the fires of hell itself burning within them.
- Does her husband know she's here?
- Lucian's eyes widened, before a cold look overtook him.
- She is no Plebianfather, her name is Rosa, and she is my lover.
- Clelia, how dare you shame us so? How dare you let this plebian into my palace?
- *More gasps*
- Lover? Do not make me laugh. Your lover is your husband, the man I betrothed to you.
- Clelia, however, stood defiantly against the Roman Emperor. She did not waver, not even for a moment.
- I will not allow my only heir to be tempted into sin and harlotry. Return to your quarters and I may think to forgive your insolence.
- Lucian chuckled wryly, a both amused and mocking look in his angry eyes.
- No. I refuse to stand down as you extinguish the only light left in my life.
- Clelia's challenge shook the courtroom, but none so more than Rosa.
- I will go farther than god can reach, to the end of the earth and beyond, if it means she lives another day. Let me fight for her, Father.
- Rosa cried, struggling against the bindings of her chains.
- NO!
- No Clelia, do not fight, not for me!
- Yet Rosa's pleas were ignored as Lucian thought for a moment, and not a moment more.
- Finally, Lucian relented, and agreed to let Rosa free.. If Clelia could win a series of seven battles.
- Clelia left the court, not a word more to be said.
- The Emperor, though still in a fuming rage, chuckled to himself as his guards escorted Rosa to The Mamertine Prison...
- End of Part 1
- Alright then, Clelia, let's see just how far you will go..
