[GoddessoftheDead]

 Act 1: Preparations

"Hail to you, gods of the caverns which are in the West! Hail to you, door - keepers of the Netherworld who guard this god and who brings news to the presence of Osiris! May you be alert, may you have power, may you destroy the enemies of Re, may you make brightness, may you dispel your darkness, may you see the holiest of the Great Ones, may you live as he lives, may you give praise to Him who is in his sun - disc, may you guide me to your doors."
Spell 127 - Book of the Dead



The scene opens on the beautiful isle of the Gods. The sun was shimmering brightly over the crystal clear water that surrounds the island. The tropical island had turned into a dreary looking place with trees with no leaves, and the flowers had withered away. The animals made their way through the dreary forest in search of their next meal. The camera pans along the paths of the island passing by the temples that loomed over what was left of the plants, and the green that still remained. The camera moves along the path once again, and comes to a stop at the massive manor that loomed over the whole island. The servants were working their hands to the bone to make sure everything was ready for the arrival of their Goddess's guest. They ran this way and that, getting things prepared for his arrival. We soon find Necra sitting in a two level marble tub. The water had steam rolling off of it, and a small golden barge floated just out of her reach. She leans against the edge of the tub, feeling the warm water move around her. She closes her eyes and ducks under the water only to come back up with her hair plastered to her face. She pushes it back and opens her eyes once again, revealing a flash of red before they turn back to their normal color. Sara walks into the large bathroom, and stops just in front of the lower level of the tub.

Necra: *Voice Over* Another step closer... Just two more matches and then I will stand at the edge of my destiny once again. With him at my side there is no way that I can lose. He has gotten me through the first round, and now onto the second. No on is going to stop me.

Sara: My Goddess everything is nearly finished for Master Staggs arrival in just under two hours.

Necra: Good. I want everything perfect for when he gets here. Did you do what I asked?

Sara: Yes my Goddess. But I don't understand why you wanted it placed in his room.

Necra: Do not worry about such things Sara. It is the will of your Goddess, nothing more.

Sara bows slightly, and straightens as Necra stands up in the tub, and turns away from the camera with water dripping own her slender, yet built frame. Two servants help her into the long robes that they held. They bow and back away from her and go about other chores.

Sara: The chef said that dinner will be ready by the time that he arrives, and it is going to be a marvelous spread. Fresh seafood, steaks that were sent in this morning, fresh fruits as well, olive oil and fresh bread that was baked.

Necra: *Voice Over* Everything is going according to plan just like it will in a few days. Candy I've watched you from the shadows watching, and waiting for the time that you slip into a darker place. I'm surprised that you managed to get this far into the tournament. You are a pure soul if nothing else... and one that I would love to see fall into the darkness and be corrupted, but you have friends that care for you, and would never let that happen don't you? Of course that has never stopped someone like me before. I've watched the purest soul slip into the darkness and fall completely... And she was a nun.

Necra walks into her bedroom where her black panther is asleep on her king size bed. The giant creature stretches, but doesn't wake even at the sound of them entering the room. Necra sits in front of the vanity as a young servant girl steps behind her and starts to brush out Necra's long hair.

Necra: *Voice Over* You've only had one win Candy and yet you really think you can stand against me? I've managed to hold three titles and put the fear of death in everyone that I have stood against. Candy I am just a few steps away from getting what I want once more, and I will not let you stand in my way of getting it.

The young girl continues to brush out Necra's hair, and hits a small knot in it. Necra turns around quickly, and looks at her with her eyes turning red before shifting back to their normal color. Necra gets to her feet, as the young girl falls to her knees, and holds onto the edge of the long robes that Necra wore.

Young woman: Forgive me my Goddess! I didn't mean to pull your hair and I...

Necra: I forgive you... But you have to learn your lesson child... SARA!!!

Necra: *Voice Over* Pain and suffering... The two things that I cause when I'm in the middle of that ring, and it's two things that no one can escape. When you stand in the middle of the ring with me Candy there will be no escape from me no matter what you do. If you have a brain in that little head of yours you would walk away from this match and never look back. But I know you, and you're like all the rest... They don't realize what they have gotten into before it's to late. And you will be no different.

Sara walks into the room with her head lowered.

Necra: Sara fetch me the box.

Sara nods and goes to a small cupboard in the desk, and pulls out a small box. As she turns around she holds in her hands she holds a small box. Sara opens the box and inside are long hat pins and strange looking needles sitting there, shimmering in the light of the room.

Necra: I'm afraid my child that you have to learn that pain is and always will be a part of life. You have yet to learn that lesson.

Necra pulls one of the pins out of the box and runs it along the girls soft, tanned flesh. She trembles slightly as the needles is drawn across her flesh, and Necra smiles to herself. She plunges the needle into the young girls flesh and she doesn't cry out, but bits her lower lip to keep from screaming out. A trickle of blood starts to drip down from the hole. Necra places the needle back in the box, as the fresh blood trickles down her chest.

Necra: *Voice Over* Candy don't you realize that I am someone that you don't want to face, and what will happen if you do? I don't think you do. Ask Darkyness and she'll tell you that I cannot be stopped, not this time. This is my time to shine while the rest of the Bombshells fade into the background and walk away with nothing once again. I'm the only one that even deserves that chance and I plan on getting to the top no mater what I have to do to get there. If you think you can stop me then show me that you are strong enough to do so.

Necra picks up another one of the pins, and drags the pin over her skin causing blood to trickle to the top once again, and trickle down her tanned skin. The young girl finally screams in pain, and Necra just laughs an evil laugh as the young woman falls to the floor. Necra sets the pin back in the box, and looks down at her.

Necra: *Voice Over* Weakness... That is something that I cannot stand. Begging and pleading don't work, and your pleas will fall on deaf ears. I will not hold back on you, nor will I stop when your blood starts to flow Candy, no... I will keep going until there is nothing left of you in the middle of that ring, except for a puddle. Candy makes sure you are ready to face me, because there will be no going back when it starts.

Sara closes the box, as Necra turns and looks at herself in the vanity mirror once again and starts to work on her makeup. Two rather large men come into the room and drag the young woman out of the room, and out of sight. Sara stands by the vanity, with not a word said. Necra applies her makeup, as Sara starts to lay out a long black and gold toga.

Necra: *Voice Over* Time is drawing close and soon we will stand in the middle of the ring, and face each other, but only one side will be left standing when all is said and done. But  Staggs and I will be the two left standing while you and... whatever his name is are left in the middle of the ring with nothing.

Necra gets up from the vanity and Sara starts to help her out of the long robe she wore. It falls to the floor, revealing the tanned skin toned body of the young Goddess of Death. Sara helps her into the black toga that she held in her hands

Sara: You look wonderful ma'am.

Necra: Of course I do Sara... I always look good. Now I want you to head to the dock and be there to greet Master Staggs do you understand?

Sara: Yes my Goddess. I will make sure that all of the servants address him as such, and I will do as you ask my Goddess.

Sara bows slightly and heads out of the room, leaving Necra by herself. She looks at herself in the mirror one last time and walks out of the room with the giant panther following behind.

Necra: I don't know if there is anything else that I can say to you Candy. I mean you have yet to say anything which can mean only one thing and that is you are afraid of me, and with good reason. I will always be there no matter what you are doing or where you are. Death is always on the back of your mind, and you cannot escape me even after this match is done and over with. But this match will be one that you will never forget Candy, no matter how many times you try. When you close your eyes you will see my face and the damage that I will cause and it will always stay with you. I am fear, I am death, I am what you can't see, and what will always haunt you no matter where you go. But Sunday night there will be nothing that you can do to stop me. I am the Goddess of the Dead, Queen of Death, the Reaper of Souls, The Black Lady. Fear me; for when you look upon me you will see death before you. See you soon.

Necra smiles as she walks along the long hallways. Servants fall to their knees as she passes only to get back up as she vanishes out of sight. She walks out into the late afternoon sun, and looks toward the pathway that lead from the docks to the house, knowing that Staggs would be there in just a matter of hours. She stares off into the distance, as the scene fades to black.
