16. A Tempting Offer (4:19)
Ext. Ravenskill - Night.
Daryus:
Trustful boy, unaware who's watching.
Open the door, I am right behind you!
Int. Home of Arhys & Xander - Night.
Daryus:
Don't resist me, child.
There's no use in fighting.
We'll be here a while!
Do you recognize me?
Look into my eyes, I'm the face of freedom.
When Daddy does arrive, he's in for a surprise.
Arhys:
How dare you step inside my home?!
Daryus:
His life is in my hands!
Arhys:
You monster, leave my son alone!
Daryus:
You do know who I am.
Your love for him is strong.
Arhys:
He's just a boy, he's done no wrong.
This fight's not his to lose.
I have everything you want.
Daryus:
Your next decision will decide his fate.
So listen to the words I have to say.
Give up the chosen one,
and you will guarantee your son lives the life you never had.
Wealth and prosperity, beyond what you have ever seen.
And best of all, Xander will be free.
He'll never want again,
It's such an easy choice.
Just think about your son.
And I won't have to stand in Faythe's dark shadow anymore.
I am through with being pushed aside,
tired of fighting for my father's pride.
Take the evening to decide.
Daryus:
Trustful boy, unaware who's watching.
Open the door, I am right behind you!
