Tragedy of the Nix

Place:  the Forum  Near City State of Meletis on the plane of Theros.
Time: Midday ( partly cloudy)
Characters: Ajani Goldmane,  King Brimaz of the leonin, Citizens of Meletis, Leonin Villagers, Prest( of Heliod) Elspeth Tirel ( Dead)

[Enter Ajani and Others with Elspeth’s body.]

Ajani: Friends Leonin, Kinsmen, lend me your Ears,
I have come to bury  Tirel not to praise her.
Heliod Has told you that His Chapon was ambitious,
If that where true I will be grievously in error!
For here under the eyes of Heliod, Erobos,Porboros, and, the rest,
I Speak of Elspeth Tirel now!
She was my friend, so loyal and faithful.
But Heliod says she was ambitious and Heliod is a honorable god.
When Elspeth Fought off so many Horrors from her people’s land,
who would otherwise destroyed her city and kingdom,
Did this In Elspeth seem ambitious?
When The Mirrim Cried out When their world was blighted,
Did she not weep as one of them,ambition should be made of sherner stuff.
Yet, Heliod says she was ambitious and Heliod is a honorable god.
You all were there When The Champion slew the False god only to be slain herself by her pattern. Was this ambition!
But Heliod says she was ambitious and Heliod is a “honorable” god.
I am not here to Disrespect the sun god,
I just speak of what I know of her.
You all once loved and respected Elspeth Tirel.
why do you now not mourn her?

king Brimaz: I know Not!

Ajani: < to Sky> O, Nix, o, Fate , you are as cruel as The Horrors that Elspeth Dreamed of All her life!
Bear with me for my hart is in the coffin with Elspeth, and I must rest until it returns to me! [Weeps!]

First Cit: Perhaps the Leonin Speaks the truth!

Prest: Have you lost your senses , Is this not why Heliod slew Her.

Leonin cit: if this is what Heliod dos to his followers why do we follow him!

Brimaz:There is not a more Noble Cat in theros  then Ajani!

 Ajani: It was less than a week ago when Elspeth presud the false god of revels into the Nix, And slew Him with a mighty blow from the Gosed,
the Very Blade that your honorable god  used to slay her.
  [He removes the Cloth From Elspeth’s Corpse]
  Behold the work of the “honorable Heliod!

Second cit: O most Bloody Site.

Leonin cit: O woful murder.

 [Ajani Takes up her cloak.]


Ajani: Oh, Helod You treacherous Demon, If You shall hear me strike me down, Here beside my Friend for you are a coward !

Brimaz: live Ajani live! For you see more than any of us!

Leonin Cit: oh glorious Ajani , he who fears not this god of Cowardness!

  <Prest of  Heliod Exits  stage Right>

Ajani: let us remember Elspeth Tirel Sun’s Champion Knight of Bant Bane of the Machine orthodoxy!

All Leonin: oh Ajani Steadfast and True, Heliod must pay For the Murder of This Hero!

[Ajani Puts on Elspeth’s Cloak!]

Ajani: We may not be able to Kill a god but We shall Fight him the only way how, Tell Elspeth’s tail to all the leonin of theros! Heliod shall no longer Have the Devotion of The leonin!
