Stardust Page #2

Synopsis: The passage from this world to the fantasy kingdom of Stormhold is through a breach in a wall beside an English village. In the 1800s, a boy becomes a man when he ventures through the breach in pursuit of a fallen star, to prove his love for the village beauty. The star is no lump of rock, it's a maiden, Yvaine. Tristan, the youth, is not the only one looking for her: three witches, led by Lamia, want her heart to make them young; and, the sons of the dead king of Stormhold want her because she holds a ruby that will give one of them title to the throne. Assisting Tristan are his mother, the victim of a spell, and a cross-dressing pirate of the skies. Will Tristan win his true love?

What kind of a ring?

The word is he's planning to propose

to me on my birthday.

He's going to...

And you're gonna say yes.

I can't exactly say no

after he's gone all the way to Ipswich.

"AII the way to Ipswich"?

Victoria, for your hand in marriage,

I'd cross oceans or continents.

-Really?

-Yes.

Victoria, for your hand in marriage,

I would go to

the gold fields of San Francisco

and bring you back your weight in gold.

I would.

I'd go to Africa and bring you back

a diamond as big as your fist.

Or I'd go to the Arctic

and I'd slaughter a polar bear

and bring you back its head.

A polar bear's head?

You're funny, Tristan.

People Iike you and people Iike me,

we're just not...

I should be going. It's really Iate.

Well, hold on, then.

Let's at Ieast finish the champagne.

Okay.

Had Tristan known then

how the stars watched Earth,

he'd have shuddered at the very thought

of an audience to his humiliation-

But, fortunately for him,

nearly every star in the sky

was at that moment

Iooking in earnest at the land

on the other side of the wall,

where the King of all Stormhold

lay on his deathbed,

which was a coincidence

because it was the King's final act

that would change the course

of Tristan's destiny forever-

Where is Secundus?

He's on his way, Father.

Then we shall wait.

Sorry I'm Iate, Father.

I came as swiftly as I was able.

Septimus.

Primus.

Tertius.

So, to the matter of succession.

Of my seven sons,

there are four of you today still standing.

This is quite a break with tradition.

I had 12 brothers.

And you killed them all for your throne

before your father, the King,

even felt poorly.

We know, Father.

You're strong and courageous.

And cunning. Most importantly, cunning.

-Secundus.

-Yes, Father?

Look through the window.

Tell me what you see.

I see the kingdom, Father.

The whole of Stormhold.

-And?

-My kingdom?

Maybe. Look up.

-Secundus.

-Sextus. Quartus. Quintus.

You're alive. You're...

Stuck Iike this

till the new king is crowned.

I was that close.

Well, at Ieast

you haven't Iost your Iooks.

Oh, please. You're not annoyed

about that whole murder thing, are you?

-I mean, that was 10 years ago.

-Yeah.

Great deal of good it did you, didn't it,

killing me, Secundus?

Because now, of course,

now you are King of all Stormhold.

Oh, sorry. Wait. No, you're not.

You're dead.

Una? Una?

No, Father, it's me, your son.

Tertius.

Where is your sister, Una?

Sorry, Father.

Nobody has seen Una for years now.

-Septimus?

-What?

Tradition dictates the throne must pass

to a male heir.

Exactly, Father.

So why would I kill my sister

when these cretins are still alive?

Indeed.
