Beauty, Grace, Strength

[Deleted]

"Infuse your life with action. Don't wait for it to happen. Make it happen. Make your own future. Make your own hope. Make your own love. And whatever your beliefs, honor your creator, not by passively waiting for grace to come down from upon high, but by doing what you can to make grace happen... yourself, right now, right down here on Earth."

Bradley Whitford

The scene opens up in a desolated forest which is engulfed with a dense fog that is thick as smoke and lingers in the evening sky. We see a figure slowing coming into the picture walking gracefully through the forest barely disturbing any of nature. Soon we are able to make out a a young girl with pale skin, green eyes, and long, braided blonde hair. The girl looks the part of one who should not be in a place like this by herself. A place that has a forbidden feel to it. A place should one venture there is a chance for no return. But alas here's a little girl who is not fazed wandering through a forest of many mysteries. She is flanked with rows and rows of trees that are all similar to one another. At long last we see her stop in her tracks as she discovers a lone tree with an striking appearance that draws you in. From a distance the tree is bright green with a web of branches stemming from the base and the many deep roots that go into the ground where it seeks it's nourishment...it's life. It's a sight that quite frankly would catch anyone's attention.

"Wow, what a beautiful tree!"

I have to move closer and get a better look.

The camera adjusts as we see the girl curiously moving closer to the tree.

"So amazing!"

I take my right hand and extend it out towards the tree. As soon as my hand touches the bark I feel a wetness on my hand from the moss that is blanketing the tree like snow would on the ground. 

Suddenly out of now where a flock of birds descends from the foggy night sky atop from the trees singing and landing on her.

"Oh my what beautiful birds!"

I could just listen to them sing all day.

On the spur of the moment a horse comes dashing through the woods. The little girl turns her head immediately and sees she is in the path of the fleeing horse. The horse is charging right for her and in the midst of this she just stands still, then in the nick of time she jumps out of the way landing safely in a pile of bushes. The horse then disappears from view.

"Whoa! That was close!"

I sit up and dust my arms and hands off. I then stand up and brush the rest of the dirt and leaves off. When I finish I turn my eyes back to the tree. But... Somethings different!

The camera pans back to the tree and we see a large gaping whole in the middle of the tree. The hole a deep or seemingly bottomless void.

"Wait. That wasn't there before. Where did that hole come from?"

The girl again gets closer to the tree curiously trying to discover the origin of the hole. However as she gets closer she feels herself lose control of her body. The hole is putting off some form of magnetism sucking her in.

"What's going on! I can't move anything!"

Soon the girl is lifted off her feet and is gliding over the leaves as she is being pulled closer and closer to the tree as the scene fades.

The scene reopens backstage of the World Arena in Colorado Springs, Colorado
. We are in the locker room where we see Jayden Thunder and Marilyn Rayne. Jayden is wearing a black biker jacket, a newly designed Jayden Thunder t-shirt, jeans, and converses. He's in the process of emptying his luggage bag and putting the contents into the locker.

Jayden: "Marilyn."

I don't hear him.

Jayden: "Marilyn..."

I still don't hear him.

Jayden: "Marilyn... Honey!"

Finally I hear him and answer.

Marilyn: "Yeah babe?"

Jayden: "You alright?"

Marilyn: "Yeah I'm fine, I must have zoned out there for a minute there."

Jayden: "It was more than a minute, but ok if you say your fine then your fine."

What's he talking about more than a minute? Huh... Oh well must be the nerves.

Marilyn: "I am."



Jayden: "Ok well are you going to get ready for your match tonight? You still haven't gotten your stuff out, we've been here for a couple of hours now."

Marilyn stands up and opens her luggage and slowly begins taking out her personal effects.

Jayden: "So are you excited?"

Marilyn: "For what?"

Jayden: "Your match tonight, your making your debut tonight."

Marilyn: "Oh yeah I am. There all going down."

Jayden: "Good luck. Your in a Battle Royal tonight, and let me tell you, those are fun. Anything can happen and I know, I've had my fair share of multi-men matches here since I've started."

Marilyn: "Luck is for losers."

Jayden: "True."

The couple share of moment and laugh with each other. Marilyn has a determined and confident personality, as does her husband Jayden, although he seems to be more cocky and aggressive than her.

Jayden: "Anyways, as I was saying your match is tonight and it's right after mine. So after I beat Logan and Lupus Onyx I can stay out there with you."

Marilyn: "That's cute. Yeah we'll see what happens."

Jayden: "Right. Ok then. After you finish be sure to go find Hank Brown for your promo tonight."

Marilyn: "Where you gonna be?"

Jayden: "I'm going to go warm up before my match."

Marilyn: "Ok I'll see you out there I guess."

Jayden leans over and kisses Marilyn before leaving the locker room as the scene fades.
========================================================================================

The scene opens up in the backstage interview area and we see Hank Brown standing by with Marilyn Rayne who is dressed for action looking stunning in her custom made body suit and crown with different designs.  

Hank Brown: "Thanks for joining me guys, I'm standing by with Marilyn Rayne who is set to make her debut tonight in a Battle Royal."

Marilyn Rayne: "Thanks for having me Hank."

Hank Brown: "My pleasure, Marilyn. Now onto tonight. You have a big obstacle ahead of you as you are facing seven other superstars who are all looking to come out with the win. Your thoughts on that match?"

I smirk.

Marilyn Rayne: "Correction, a big obstacle for someone average. You see I have a superior skill set than everyone else. I have beauty, grace, and strength and I'm willing to fight men as well as women, to prove that I am great."

 I smile happy with the answer I gave.

Hank Brown: "And just how do you have a superior skill set than the rest of them? Can you clarify that?"

Marilyn Rayne: "Well just look at this way Hank, in this match we have a writer, Peter Quinn and a poet, Bouchard, who both are hipsters apparently...yeah, going ahead and writing them off there...they're more feminine then I am and don't belong in... the ring."

I pause and laugh before finishing my sentence.

Marilyn Rayne: (Clears throat) "And so we have James Herringbone and Grimshaw Chapel, these guys seem like the type that would try to get in your head. But they won't cause I'm smarter. Also apparently Grimshaw answers to power and that power being the power of a higher being and that's where he fails, you see, my true strength lies in my belief in myself, as opposed to otherwordly deities, in which to secure my choices and destiny.

And then we have Jordan Young who is supposed to be a hardcore maverick who loves to use weapons and The Ultimate Destroyer who just lives to cause chaos and take out anyone who gets in his way. These guys seem like formidable challenges but I'm sure I'll find a way to overcome them and send them over the top rope to the floor.

Finally Zoe Mitchell, the only other female in this match, she's just another pretty face who claims to have Daddy issues to get the pity card. Well you'll see no pity from me. None of you all will see pity from me. For I am the Bringer of Woe, the Valiant Princess, and what the Princess wants, she gets."

As I finish I raise my arms over my head in the shape of a crown, cock a half smile, and walk off.

Hank Brown: "Well there you have it folks, should be an exciting match. Stay tuned."

The screen fades to black.
