FATE OF UNCERTAINTY
Scene 3
Ext/Day
CAMERA SHOT OPENS ON A GROUP OF ANGRY LOOKING VILLAGERS WITH STICKS AND FIGHTING MATERIALS IN HAND THEN PUNS TO REVEAL GUARDS WITH FIERCE LOOKING EYES ON THE VILLAGERSS AS THEY IMPATIENTLY WAITS FOR THE KING AND HIS ELDERS.
Nana Agyemang & Elders:
The King and elders came from the palace to meet the villagers
Bediako:
Greetings people of Kyerekrom.
Villager 1:
What use is a greeting to a dying community?
Elders:
(Shocked)
Nana Agyemang:
Allow them to speak.
Villager 1:
We woke up to find our animals dead. Who could have visited us in the night without the whole community knowing?
Villager 2:
Every animal in the land is killed and not even the tiniest was spared.
Villager 3:
Could we have been so asleep not to hear the footsteps of the perpetrators?
Villager4:
when we have a King and elders who only know how to greet, what do we expect?
Elders:
(Marveled)
Villager 1:
The gods speak to them that listen, don’t we have a listener?
Villagers:
(ask the same question murmuring)
Nana Agyemang:
(moves forward to speak) Agoo!
Villagers:
(still murmuring)
Asare:
People of Kyerekrom, you have had your say, pray, please let your King speak!
Villagers:
(Stopped murmuring)
Nana Agyemang:
People of Kyerekrom, you have a cause to be troubled, for if you sleep with your wife and wake up not to find her by your side, you call the elders, so you have a cause. But you do me great wrong. Has the god of rain been so angry to wipe his tears from an n eye and leave the other? Has the god of the sun blacken his face to me only to scorch on you? No! So you do me great wrong. The animals in place too die my goats, sheep, fowls, dogs and even my cats.
Villagers:
Sorry your highness…
Nana Agyemang:
No! keep your sorry. My elders and I will sit to know of what to do.
Villager 1:
This could be the doing of the gods, why not sacrifice to the gods?
Nana Agyemang:
Like I said, my elders and I will sit so go to your homes and clean up; the gods would tell us of what to do.
(he villagers disperse to their various homes. The King and elders watch them in astonishment over what had transpired earlier on.)
