FADE IN:
INT. THAELIA CASTLE - LIBRARY - DAY
Table with books scatted all over it.
Only one book is open with pictures of knights.
ALVARA (V.O.)
Everyone knows the stories about
knights, right?
The book turns its pages showing different pictures of
knights.
ALVARA (V.O.)
Big. Strong. Wearing the shinning
armor and riding on a white horse.
Always the heroes of the story. Yep,
that's them alright.
Opens to pictures of maidens.
ALVARA (V.O.)
But, what about the women? All they
do is act pretty and wait around
for someone to come and rescue
them. Could they just once be their
own heroes? What if women could
also be knight?
CUT TO:
EXT. KINGDOM OF THAELIA - OVERVIEW - DAY
A large castle surrounded by a forest.
ALVARA (V.O.)
Never in the history of Thaelia,
women were knights. But that all
changed one month ago. And this is
2
my story of me being the first woman
as a knight.
CUT TO:
EXT. THAELIA CASTLE - TRAINING GROUNDS - DAY
ALVARA (22) training with SIR WILLIAM (25) both are
practicing with swords. Other knights training around them.
ALVARA (V.O.)
I am Lady Alvara a Knight of
Thaelia. The knight training with me
is, Sir William. A friend, who I
meet when I became a knight.
SIR ETHAN (45) an older knight watches over them.
ALVARA (V.O.)
The knight watching over us is, Sir
Ethan, a friend to my family. He and
my father both trained together when
they were younger, to become
knights.
PRINCE JAYDEN (24) sword fighting with two other
knights.
Knocks one of the knight’s swords. Kicks him to the
ground. Turns to the other knight. Knocks his sword.
Prince Jayden points his sword to the knight's
throat. Puts away his sword and turns to help up the
other knight and pick up their swords.
PRINCE JAYDEN
Good work you two. The both of you
train together now.
Both knights bow and then start to train.
ALVARA (V.O.)

That's, Prince Jayden, the crowned
prince of Thaelia. A close friend of
mine as well, whom I've known since
the days my father was a knight.
Prince Jayden walks over and stands next to Sir
Ethan, watching Alvara and Sir William train.
Alvara gets the upper hand. Knocks Sir Williams’s
sword and himself to the ground.
She stands smiling over him with her sword pointing
down to him. He looks up to her with a smile as well.
She helps him to his feet.
ALVARA (V.O.)
You think all is well with me being
a knight, but it's not. There are a
few people who dislike the idea of a
woman being a knight.
A CLASH is heard.
Alvara looks over to SIR XAVIER (25) training with
another knight.
Sir Xavier fights with a strong focus. Knocks the
knight's sword down. Knocks the knight down to the
ground with a hard kick.
Sir Xavier stands over the knight looking like a
champion of a great battle.
ALVARA (V.O.)
(annoyed)
That's, Sir Xavier, he thinks he is
the best of the best. Always trying
to prove that he is better a knight
then the rest of us.
Sir Xavier looks over to where Alvara, Sir William,
Sir Ethan and Prince Jayden are. He looks at Alvara
with disgust.

ALVARA (V.O.)
He is one of the people who thinks
I shouldn't be a knight. He
believes that since I'm a woman,
I'm too weak to be a knight.
CUT TO:
INT. THAELIA CASTLE - CHAMBER ROOM - DAY
LADY LAURA (43) looks out her window and watches over
as her daughter and the knights train. She shows a
look of disapproval.
ALVARA (V.O.)
That's, Lady Laura, a lady of the
court. You think because she is
my mother she would be supportive
of my decision, but she's not.
She, just like Sir Ethan,
believes I shouldn't be a knight.
She believes that my place as a
woman is to be a lady and not a
knight. But, it wasn't always
like that.
CUT TO:
FLASHBACK - EXT. THAELIA CASTLE - COURTYARD - DAY
Lady Laura and ALVARA'S FATHER walking around talking
to each other. Both are laughing and having a good
time.
ALVARA (V.O.)
Once she too believed that women
should be equal to men. When she
met my father, they both followed
that dream.
INT. THAELIA CASTLE - CHAMBER ROOM - DAY

Lady Laura and Alvara's father looking down to their
newborn daughter.
ALVARA (V.O.)
When I was born she thought that
I would be become a great knight
just like my father. But, that
all changed.
TIME CUT TO:
Lady Laura and a ten-year-old Alvara, both are
crying.
ALVARA (V.O.)
When my father died her belief
that women should be equal also
died. After that day she thought
being a knight wasn't safe for a
woman and started to believe that
being a lady was better then
being a knight.
CUT TO:
EXT. THAELIA CASTLE - TRAINING GROUNDS - DAY
Sir William and Sir Ethan stand by and watch, as
Alvara and Prince Jayden get ready to train with each
other.
ALVARA (V.O.)
Well that is all going to
change. Being a woman, you don't
have to be lady, that you can
too be a knight. I will show
them all, that I too am worthy
of being a knight.
