Thistheatre script was found on the 7th floor in Headmistress Moretti's tower, at the Conciri's Compound in Alatri.

(GM Only: This theatre script has scribbled in by Te'Lik, who wanted to “improve it” to make the main character - played by Te'Lik - perfect.)

This is a theatre script for the story “The Willow Maiden”. Looking through it, you can clearly see a myriad of places where, whoever the owner was, made altercations to the script. Some of these alterations are rather major - moving the plot from being a tragic love story between a young man and a fey maiden who lives in a willow deep in a forest, to a script where the young man is absolutely perfect in every way and instead rescues the fey maiden from her “perilous” situation. Yes - it is a terrible re-write.

 

 

-

Novel called "The Willow Maiden".

-

A tragic love story between a young human man and a fey maiden living in a willow deep in the forest.

-

 

-

There's a song written on the last few pages of the book, after the epilogue, that appears to tell a shortened version of the same story:

-

 

-

A young man walked through the forest with his quiver and hunting bow

-

He heard a young girl singing and followed the sound below

-

There he found the maiden who lives in the willow

-

 

-

He called to her as she listened from a ring of toadstools red

-

'Come with me my maiden Come from thy willow bed.'

-

She looked at him serenely and only shook her head.

-

 

-

See me now, a ray of light in the moondance

-

See me now, I cannot leave this place

-

Hear me now, a strain of song in the forest

-

Don't ask me to follow where you lead

-

 

-

A young man walked through the forest with a flower and coat of green

-

His love had hair like fire her eyes an emerald sheen

-

She wrapped herself in beauty so young and so serene

-

 

-

He stood there under the willow and he gave her the yellow bloom

-

Girl my heart you've captured. Oh, I would be your groom

-

She said she'd wed him never. Not near, nor far, nor soon

-

 

-

See me now, a ray of light in the moondance

-

See me now, I cannot leave this place

-

Hear me now, a strain of song in the forst

-

Don't ask me to follow where you lead

-

 

-

A young man walked through the forest with an axe sharp as a knife

-

I'll take the green eyed fairy and she shall be my wife

-

With her I'll raise my children. With her I'll live my life

-

 

-

The maiden wept when she heard him. When he said he'd set her free

-

He took his axe and used it to bring down her ancient tree

-

Now your willow's fallen now you belong to me

-

 

-

See me now, a ray of light in the moondance

-

See me now, I cannot leave this place

-

Hear me now, a ray of light in the moondance

-

Don't ask me to follow where you lead

-

 

-

She followed him out the forest and collapsed upon the earth

-

Her feet had walked but a distance from the green land of her birth

-

She faded into a flower that would bloom for one bright eve

-

He could not take from the forest what was never meant to leave
