Season Titled, 'Retribution' (Part Three of Ten): Episode Three: "This Place is Death"
--Act One--
Candle Wax stiffens, a hard shell encasing an ember of light sealed within it. Outside, dark clouds swirl in the sky as a glistening white shimmer shines down upon Lady Chandler. The broken girl sits unhinged, curled into a small ball as her soft curls attach to her shoulders in a cluster.
(Wind Howls Greatly, braches from the Cherry Blossoms striking at at the glass)
A voice crackles in the air, dust particles enchanting the night sky with an ominous green glow. However, upon its entrance flames begin to burn around them in a cloud of dark smoke, Lady Chandler growing wary of the current state, unable to bring herself to words as she attempts to fall back, in a daze and sure of her apparent hallucinations.
Before her however, from beyond the flames rises a dark figure.
???: "My Girl" (The Figure lowers themselves, their face encased in darkness)
Lady Chandler: (Stuttering) "W-... Who are you?" She shrieks, tugging back against the wall she rests beside.
The figure waves their hand, a dim candle erupting into flames as the disfiguration of their face shows signs of burn marks, their left eye being ripped from its socket all whilst their hair remains in few single strands, their scarlet hair being similar to the raw pieces of flesh that hang from their face.
Lady Chandler: "Oh . . . No" (Lady Chandler places her hand against the face of the figure, seeing a recognition to their appearance)
Lady Chandler: "Iris?" She whispers, cowering at the sight of the woman before her.
Iris nods, taking Chandler's hand from the ruins of her face, taking her hand to her palm as she greets her.
Iris: "I am well, my girl . . . This is all confusing I know" Iris whispers, glancing back at the tall Oak-wood door that stands behind her, cluttered among other items that stand before it.
Lady Chandler: "How did you escape? What have they done to you!" Chandler shrieks, riddled with remorse as she swells with tears.
Iris: "I didn't escape . . . I'm very much still in captivity where we last met. However, as I stated before my magic can go beyond the means of premonitions but I had to come back, I had to be the one to tell you of what is to come. I had so many choices, all resulting in death but I wanted to give you the best possible chance I could!" Iris battles, her panic rising as her voice breaks.
Lady Chandler (Her hand releasing Iris, staring blankly at her ally) "What did you do?"
Lady Chandler: "How did you end up like this?!" She shrieks, taking note of Iris' appearance.
Iris: (Chuckling before holding Chandler close) "Listen to me my girl, sacrifices had to be made but what you're to endure is far worse. It's a struggle, I know but what I am to show you, please do not battle it. Do that for the person you're to conceive" Iris enviously tales, reading her prophecy before taking the hand of Chandler, her eyes rising in a pit of mist enchanting herself and Chandler to her visions.
--Vision--
Lady Chandler stands in white smoke, stood beside a disfigured Iris who now sports a revealing red dress, a gold chain wrapped like a choker around her neck. Around them, visions of Chandler's life emerges, her mother, her father and her future all dancing around her bringing Chandler to question the current events.
Lady Chandler: "Where are we?" (Her hands clench, seeing herself in a darkened room, her quarters)
Iris: "This is your future . . ."
Before them, visions of people emerge before them, a Citadel of Citizens coming forth. However, beyond the crowds somewhere inside them sits a screaming Queen Jennifer who clutches at her corset, blood smearing across her white outfit in a state of shock.
Queen Jennifer: "My Baby! No, No!" (She wrestles, tugging at her blouse in an attempt to stop the bleeding)
Queen Jennifer: "I cannot lose my child!"
The screaming agony of a new mother dies down, the visions turning to a dim room where Fei and her Father, King Noah begin to exchange in their sexual activities, only behind them further down the hall comes forth a new woman, a new rival. Alongside this woman, a child stands beside her awaiting for King Noah.
Lady Chandler: (Standing before the visions) "Who's she?" She timidly questions, pointing towards a vibrant woman who stands tall, her golden locks stroking down across her chest.
Iris: "Her name is Zella Vox, the High Priestess . . . You'll find out more of her soon enough"
Iris: "The Child . . ." (Turning to Chandler) "Her name is Hannah"
Th visions continue, embracing the two spectators in a dark aura of black smoke as the Citadel comes forth, Little Aston stands besides Lady Chandler's Half-Brother, Paulie Belmont in a flood of tears as a roaring blaze is set lite, flames rising across a stake the screams of one individual remains hidden in the flames before them, frightening a startled Chandler who awaits for Iris to explain.
Iris: (Bowing her head in silence) "The events aren't in order, these will happen but not how you're seeing it"
Finally, they end, returning to the Quarters as the mist begins to lower only to see Lady Chandler once again. Chandler stands in awe. Shocked.
Lady Chandler: "T-... Thats me?"
Iris notices similarities, thus being the night of the exact event as she attempts to end the vision. However, Chandler refuses upon noticing the entrance of her father, King Noah.
(Vision) Lady Chandler: "Father?" (Chandler rests uneasy, standing in the presence of Noah).
(Vision) King Noah: "This is the way in which I keep you safe" (His voice remains stern, his face being stiff as he approaches Chandler)
--Vision Ends--
The events end, Lady Chandler having saw what had occured and sitting in distraught as she remains alone in her Quarters, her head bobbing up and down as single tears run across her cold cheek.
--Act Two--
King Noah sits in his study, fascinated and obsessive over his orders given by his Wife. He stares at a blank canvas whilst his bastard son, Paulie sits across from him knowing of his disclosure.
King Noah: (Staring down in hopes of intimidating) "Exactly why are you here?"
Paulie: "I know what she wants you to do, I think Chandler wants the same thing to her"
Paulie smiles, offering his father reassurance as he approaches him.
Paulie: "To keep them both safe . . . make sure Chandler has something she cannot force you to take" Paulie ends, staring down at his father in defense of his Half-Sister, planting this idea into his mind in hopes that'll he'll break through and aid in maintaining peace in his family.
Elsewhere, in the Castle's Keep Lady Mira awaits her death as she comes to accept her fate.
Lady Hali pats at Mira's head, blemishing mindlessly as she continues her work.
(Lady Mira's hand rises, taking hold of Hali as she brings her arm forth)
Lady Mira: "You've done e- . . enough" she coughs severely, choking upon her own bodily fluids as Lady Hali refuses to let loose, putting her authority down.
Lady Hali: "I have been with you, ever since you had me released. I will stand by you to the end"
Lady Mira: (Shaking her head in denial) "Nobody wants me, they won't even let my own daughter come see me . . ." (Releasing the hand of her friend)
Lady Mira: "I'm weak . . . I'm tired. I want to go, I want to go now. I- . . . I have a friend, a Priestess who I would like to write my last vows. Bring her to me and let me say goodbye" Mira pleads, her frozen eyes remaining still as her sweat drips across the cushioned bed.
Lady Hali agrees, taking back her friends hand as she bows her head upon Lady Mira, confining in her whilst she struggles to maintain her strength.
Meanwhile, Randall enters his cottage, wood planks layering the floor below him as he stands before his son, Aston. Behind them, Lady Lauren stands as she goes to greet him. Lady Lauren shows acknowledgement that her Grandfather had been there, placing a warm hand upon his shoulder.
Randall: (Lowering himself to Aston's height, maintaining his own strength for his son)
Randall: "You'll be going with your Aunt to see your Mother yeah?" He chuckles proudly, Aston gleefully dancing as he holds onto Lauren's hand.
Randall: "You stay safe then okay? because I'll be waiting here for you . . . for when you come home to me" (He bares his son a small gift, tilting his head to Lauren who nods for assurance)
Lady Lauren: "Don't let my Grandfather scare you" Lauren assures Randall, knowing of his intimidation abilities.
Randall: "Who cannot fear the mighty Lord Marcus" (He pauses, chuckling for a moment)
Randall: "I can tell you one thing, I'd hate to be exiled with him, I'd have his lectures every day then!"
Lady Lauren: (Chuckling with Randall as she takes Aston's hand) "I'll return him at Dawn, and be careful what you wish for" Lauren bids a farewell to Randall, departing in her own carriage with Aston on their way to the Castle's Keep whilst Randall remains alone.
Within his hand, the scroll in which Lord Marcus gave to him remains firmly in his hands. He opens it gingerly to see instructions given by Lord Marcus pleading for him to flee with Aston. He expresses concerns of the downfall of his two Granddaughters, posing a slight concern to Randall himself.
--Act Three--
Within her confined walls, Lady Chandler sits nervously parched upon her bedpost awaiting for the series of events to unfold in which she saw herself partaking in. However, as the uneasy earth beneath her starts to shift, the echoing footsteps of oncoming marching approaches, thus alerting a dire Lady in need to stand, positioning herself infront of the Oak-wood door as Sir Anthony's voice pierces needles into her mind.
Sir Anthony: (Preventing Access to his King) "You said nobody would speak to the girl" He reminds.
King Noah: (Faintly expressing concern as he lowers Anthony's arm) "I'll be done shortly . . ." He offers recognition of what he wants to do, alerting Sir Anthony to prevent him further access.
Sir Anthony: (His bristle voice growing strong) "I order you to stop! Your Majesty, for what you'll do is wrong" Anthony pleads for Chandler's safety, King Noah shunning him.
King Noah: (Assertive) "I am your King. You will obey me" (Pauses, breathing heavily)
King Noah: "This is the only way . . ."
Inside the sleeping Quarters, Lady Chandler stands tall, shrouded in darkness as she hears footsteps, her breath growing thin as the bitterness intensifies. Her eyes wander, few strips of tears swelling in her eyes. The startling creek, the tall door opening to a flooding depth of despair. It flourishes the room of all purity left, only the vibrant dark red cape hanging from the King's shoulders, the door closing behind him as Sir Anthony remains out, sliding down in his own pity against the doors structure. Her Lady, Chandler awaits for her King's speech only to maintain her dignity.
Lady Chandler: (Greeting her King) "Father!" (Voice breaks due to nervousness)
Lady Chandler: "I see you're here to do as you will with me . . . I just ask that you do not hurt anyone else for the feud me and our dear Queen share" (Holding back her resentment and sorrow)
King Noah: (Approaching his Child, releasing his cape as it falls across the dark floor)
King Noah: "I'm Sorry" he whispers, Chandler shaking her head as she reflects upon Iris' visions.
Lady Chandler: "Kill me!" she pleads, Chandler trying to prevent her Father from stepping closer.
King Noah: (Breaking down softly) "I can't . . . I won't!"
Lady Chandler: "Just Kill Me . . . Please, for what you're to do is inhumane. It will destroy our family!" She argues in defense, pleading for mercy and her own death.
King Noah: (Rejecting her offer once more, returning to his state of loyalty)
King Noah: "You're my Daughter . . . My only Daughter" (Places his hand upon her cheek)
King Noah: "This is the way in which I keep you safe" (He silences his Daughter)
Lady Chandler recognizes the same line from the vision, a startling screech alerting an uncomfortable Sir Anthony outside as he jilts in suspension, hearing her squirming as King Noah forcefully grabs his Daughter by her throat, he throws her down, lowering her over her bedpost as he strips her of her clothing.
Lady Chandler: "Father Please!" She screams in horror
King Noah: "It's the only way . . ."
Lady Chandler is held down, bare of all clothing as King Noah pulls back, beginning to forcefully engage in his sexual activites with his own daughter who cries out in distress.
Lady Chandler: "Father stop!"
(Her voice grows thin)
Lady Chandler: "Please . . . No! N- . . . No - Father!" (Her cries of distress begin to blend in with the few moans from his Majesty)
Outside, Sir Anthony remains listening to the act happening beyond the door behind him as his guilt remains lingering over him, few cold tears running across his face. Lady Chandler, upon her bedpost jilting forward at each pounding motion of her Father's force, all emotion draining from her lifeless body.

Icarus_Mark, yeah a large part of the Visions give small pieces of the characters shown and their futures. They're disjointed atm but in theory they come together with how I've seen it.
Especially in relation to the Jennifer one and how you related it to Iris' warning. Definitely a story to be told there.
