The Magic Sword: Quest for Camelot

Synopsis: During the times of King Arthur, the story of an adventurous brave girl, named Kayley, whose father, a Knight of the Round Table, is killed by Sir Ruber, a maniacal brute who steals Excalibur and ultimately threatens to seize King Arthur's Camelot. Kayley enlists the blind, reclusive knight-aspirant Garrett and a goofy two headed dragon to brave the Enchanted Forest and retrieve the magic sword. Their adventure is also, of course, fraught with danger.

[Chorale music]

[Cheerful instrumental music]

[Kayley gasps]

KAYLEY:
Come on!

[Kayley giggles]

Father!

- Father, do you really have to go?

- I'm afraid I must, Kayley.

You know the king's knights

will be here soon.

Tell me again why you became a knight.

Kayley, you've heard it a thousand times.

But it's fine, dear.

Well, my daughter, before you were born...

...the land was dark and treacherous.

The people stood divided...

...brother fighting brother.

LIONEL:
The only hope for peace...

...was in the legend of the sword Excalibur.

For it was said that only the true king...

...could pull this magical sword

from its stone...

...and unite the people.

Many tried.

All failed.

Then...

...on the very day that you were born...

...an unexpected hero stepped forth.

His name was Arthur...

[All gasp]

...and he was the true king.

[Dramatic instrumental music]

LIONEL:
With Excalibur at his side...

...he led us out of the darkness...

...and together...

...we built the greatest kingdom on earth.

Everyone rejoiced.

[Traditional folk music]

Camelot!

[Kayley giggles and gasps]

LIONEL:
And so these three rings represent

the unity of our kingdom.

As a knight, I took an oath...

...to protect Camelot, King Arthur...

...and Excalibur.

The knights are here.

LIONEL:
I must go now, Kayley.

The king has summoned his knights

for a special day in Camelot.

Goodbye.

KAYLEY:
I'm coming with you, Daddy!

Yes, when you're old enough, Kayley...

...I will take you to Camelot. I promise.

LIONEL:
I love you!

One day, I will be a knight...

...like Father.

LIONEL:
Let's go!

[Dramatic percussion music]

[lnstrumental folk music

with rhythmic chanting]

KNIGHTS:
[Singing] "United we stand

"Now and forever

"In truth

"Divided we fall

"Hand upon hand

"Brother to brother

"No one shall be greater than all

"United we stand

"Now and forever

"In truth

"Divided we fall

"Hand upon hand

"Brother to brother

"No one shall be greater than all

ARTHUR:
[Singing]

"It's been ten years we celebrate

"All that made our kingdom great

"Liberty and justice

"For all

"Each of us will now divide

"In equal shares, our countryside

"Promising equality

"For all who reside

KNIGHTS:
[Singing] "United we stand

"Now and forever

"In truth

RUBER:
[Shouts] Me!

Charming sing-along.

Now let's get down to business.

I've waited a long time for this day.

What about my new land?

Sir Ruber...

...always thinking of yourself.

As Knights of the Round Table,

our obligation is to the people...

...not to ourselves.

ARTHUR:
The lands will be divided

according to each person's needs.

Then I need more than everyone.

I wouldn't have supported you

all these years...

...if I thought you were running a charity.

The king has decided!

Then it's time for the new king...

...and I vote for me.

I will not serve a false king!

Then serve...

...a dead one!

[Ruber yells]

One day that sword will be in my hand...

RUBER:
and all will be mine!

[Knights all talk at once]

KNIGHT 7:
Is he all right?

Sir Lionel?

[Surprised gasp]

[Horses neigh]

Mother, listen.

KAYLEY:
Father!

[Giggles]

[Whispers] No!

Your husband died saving my life...

...and saving Camelot.

Lady Juliana...

...the gates of Camelot

will always be open to you.

Sir Lionel...

...was my most trusted knight...

...and also...

...my dear, dear friend.

We will always remember how

he bravely upheld the ideals of Camelot.

KAYLEY:
[Singing]

"If you were with me now

"I'd find myself in you

"If you were with me now

"You're the only one who knew

"All the things we planned to do

"I want to live my life

"The way you said I would

"With courage as my light

"Fighting for what's right

"Like you made me believe I could

"And I will fly on my father's wings

"To places I have never been

"There is so much I've never seen

"And I can feel his heartbeat still

"And I will do great things

"On my father's wings

"This world I'll never see

"My dreams that just won't be

"This horse's stride with one-day's ride

"Will have covered more distance than me

"And I will fly

"On my father's wings

"To places I have never been

"There is so much I've never seen

"And I can feel his heartbeat still

"And I will do great things

"On my father's wings

"Someday

"With his spirit to guide me

"And his memory beside me

"I will be free

"To fly on my father's wings

"To places I have never been

"There is so much I've never seen

"And I can feel his heartbeat still

"I will do great things

"On my father's wings

"On my father's wings"

[Chickens clucking]

[Light instrumental music]

In the ten years
