Amrita is really warming to him now.AMRITA
You are right. The future cannot
be foretold, we must live it as it
comes. Besides, the present is a
much more agreeable thought. But I
am concerned about your shoulder.
TUAOK
It is not my shoulder that should
concern you right now.
Her eyes take on a passion that hadn't been there before.
Her hands move beneath the furs as she snuggles closer to,
Tuaok.
She kisses him long and lovingly. Then she pulls back
slightly and looks over her shoulder to another pile of furs
on the far side of the hut.
AMRITA
Ohh, Atileene! She will wake!
Tuaok gently pulls her back to him.
TUAOK
No, she is with Mikaleta tonight.
Mikaleta was telling her stories of
the ancient warriors and Diana's
Sword. Atileene fell asleep in her
hut. I asked for her to stay
there.
AMRITA
(Indicating the furs)
Then who....
TUAOK
Wolf. I don't think he'll mind.
Tuaok rolls on top of Amrita as she relaxes back on the furs.
He kisses her fervently, the passion surging within him.
Amrita returns the kiss with a fire burning even hotter than
his own.
She gently forces Tuaok till his back is on the furs and she
is astride him.

AMRITASince Atileene came we have not had
much time to show our love for each
other. Tonight is my turn for
you..
She leans down and kisses his mouth, his neck, his chest
while riding him, gently at first.
Their pleasure begins to overcome them both as we...
...PAN to Wolf. He burrows his head deeper into the pile of
furs.
DISSOLVE TO:
EXT. FOREST - MOUNTAIN - LAKE AREAS - DAY
Amrita, Mikaleta and other warriors of the village are on
horseback, A young beautiful warrior, NEALON drives the death
wagon as they travel across a picturesque forested stream.
And although we don't realize it for the moment, the
following scenes show Nealon using hand signals to
communicate. She is able to hear, but is mute.
Wolf runs ahead as they cross a grassy flowing plain.
Resting time near a wide lake. They all bathe and play in
the water, animals and warriors.
After they bathe, the group has a moment of ritual for the
wagon-load of dead enemy.
AMRITA
(Sprinkling lake water on
the wagon.)
Though enemy, you fought bravely.
We cleanse your spirits. May your
tribe remember your life and
respect your death.
The group bows their heads in respect.
DISSOLVE TO:
EXT. A THICKLY WOODED DARK FOREST - DAY
The group sits their horses warily, ever watchful in the
gloom of the forest.
Amrita signals the group to a halt. She dismounts and
follows Wolf through a break in the forest.
Page 15
Wolf and Amrita creep up to the edge of a small hill.Mikaleta silently joins them.
MIKALETA
(Crawling next to Amrita)
What is it?
AMRITA
Something is strange. There are no
sentries.
MIKALETA
Well, we are coming in peace! Our
messenger must have arrived long
ago.
AMRITA
They would still post sentries. I
can sense someone watching... but
see no sign.
Amrita motions that they should re-join the group.
The horses are restless as, Amrita, Mikaleta and Wolf return.
AMRITA (cont'd)
Nealon, we will tie our horses to
the back of the wagon. Follow at a
distance.
(To the rest of the
group.)
We go the rest of the way on foot.
She motions to Wolf who, crouching low leads them from the
forest and down the other side of the small hill along a
rocky path.
The party is alert to danger as they scan the boulders and
crevices they pass.
Suddenly, Wolf stops and growls low.
About a dozen female warriors leap from the surrounding
heights and boulders. An all out battle rages.
Amrita is battling two warriors at once.
It is fierce and very quickly decisive, but not without a
cost.
At her back, Wolf subdues and cows another warrior. With a
snap of his jaws Wolf disarms the warrior and sends her
running. Wolf stands at the ready as yet another warrior
hurls a javelin at Amrita's back.
