Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gregor" data-source="post: 5793093" data-attributes="member: 11751">Act TwoThe lights dim again and Act Two begins.********Toteth wakes in fits, light and dark represent many passing months as the woman tends to him. As he heals a romance forms between them, and the healing montage ends with a flamboyant love song and mock battle between Toteth and his love’s in-laws so he can marry her. The battle is interrupted at the funniest moment by a tremor, and people in the audience actually cringe in fear as the stage seems to crack and intense winds blow out of the deep.  Toteth realizes the world is still in danger, and he recalls the vision he had of the Eagle. He sets out to find a way to save the woman he loves, leaving her behind, not realizing she is pregnant.Another montage shows his incredible journey, as he faces riddling fairies, battles giant spiders, and braves a cursed pyre filled with evil spirits to find a gem that can seal the world. Interspersed during the odyssey are images ofhis love, growing slowly more pregnant, until finally she gives birth. When she does, she is visited by the other three mages who aided Toteth in Act One, and they bless the child, swearing to go join the geomancer’s quest so he can come home soon.They travel through the aftermath of the various monsters and challenges Toteth has defeated, the ease of their journey a humorous counterpoint to the geomancers. But then they find him, and see him standing atop a shiningpeak, fighting the dragon of bright shadows.  Toteth holds the gem high, trying to capture the dragon’s soul so he can take its power to heal the world, but the dragon is stronger. It bites him in half and the stage goes dark, the only thing visible is the gem, which falls and shatters.********A hush fills the crowd, followed by raucous applause as another musical intermission begins.  The show has gone on for over an hour at this point and according to your programmes there are still three more acts.Katrina begins to spoil the rest of the plot.  "Yes, yes, Toteth trapped his own spirit in the mountain, but the others don’t realize the significance of what they saw, so they try to track down and kill the dragon.  The dragon kills them at the end of Act Three, and it seems like the whole thing is a tragedy. But then the geomancer’s daughter, Eshu, grows into womanhood, and she vows to destroy the dragon and complete her father’s work.  Blah, blah."</blockquote>
