The Crown of Spirits

My friends and I are working on a film about Apillini, Wyll and Theillik. Yes, a FILM. A MOVIE. Should be interesting. Here are some of the ideas that I have so far. The working title is "The Crown of Spirits" for reasons that will be revealed in this preview. Here is basically the plotline as it stands right now.

---

Opening scene takes place within the Company of Wilona's Sails headquarters. Camera focuses on some documents and items of import to the group, such as their weapons, Apillini's locket and a few other things as the opening credits roll. Camera slowly pans over to focus on Theillik, who is sitting at a desk and playing with something (a quill? A deck of cards? something). He is humming and seeming fairly cheerful; it is a sunny morning. Camera focuses to over his shoulder, where a staircase comes into view. Wyllium and Apillini come down the stairs holding hands and chatting idly. They get to the bottom and are greeted by Theillik. Title comes onscreen for a few seconds at this time.

Theillik
Mornin', Weel! Mornin', Apeepee!

Apillini
Morning, Theillik. (Stretching and yawning)

Theillik
Did ya two sleep all right?

Wyllium
(Shrugging) Yeah, sure.

Apillini
Anyone in yet today, Theillik? (Glancing at the door)

Theillik
Nah, too early. They can't be both-

As Theillik speaks, a knock comes at the door.

Apillini
(Smirking) Too early, hm? Let's see what they want. (Going and opening the door)

In walks a customer of either male or female (doesn't matter) gender. Customer enters quickly with a few papers tucked under his/her arm and removes a pair of gloves to dust off the hands.

Customer
Greetings. My name is (______), and I presume you are the founders of the Company of Wilona's Sails?

Theillik
Yup! I'm Theillik!

Apillini
Apillini Fadden.

Wyllium
Name's Wyll.

Customer
(Nodding) As I had thought. That is very well. (Laying papers on the table) I have a job for you three.

As the scene progresses, Theillik , Wyllium and Apillini are informed of their job, which involves intercepting a messenger as he makes his way to Zazesspur. The conditions are that the messenger has two personal guards, as the message is important. The Company must intercept the messenger in any way they please, preferably masked, take the message and destroy it. The payment is whatever the Company finds on the messenger.
(note: I am only writing this as a summary right now because I don't want to do the whole script. :P)

Scene II

The Company is in disguise wearing all black, masked faces, etc. They're walking through a forest on a path that looks fairly well worn, chatting quietly with one another. They hear footsteps and look to see the people they're looking for a bit ahead. Apillini and Wyll slip through the trees to situate themselves behind the three as quietly as possible, while Theillik walks on ahead and meets the messenger. Immediately, Theillik rushes up and starts to attack the messenger.

More to come later.
