EMMA

Right, defeat a near godly dragon–on our own. Would you like anything else while we’re at it?

QUEEN VICTORIA

Some respect perhaps. Remember, Emma: the fate of our kingdoms lies in your hands.

EMMA

Well, I’m Emma, and this is-

JAM

Jam.

EMMA

Jam?

JAM

That’s my name. I chose it, like Roela did.

EMMA

Huh.

JAM

Well don’t you think it’s stupid that we’re born with our own names on our left hands? Why does Tegot’s magic get to decide what my name will be?

EMMA

I don’t know you! Having your not-name on my right hand isn’t gonna make me magically fall in love with you.

ROELA

I can help you navigate the chasms of the Badlands.

FIRINN

But if we fight Tegot, we will end up as just another magical notch on his belt. We don’t have stand a chance.

(sword shings)

EMMA

Yes, we do.

TEGOT

Go on, Princess. Do what needs to be done.

JAM

We’re kind of past the point of no return here!

EMMA

Do you really want to spend the rest of your life hiding? This could change everything!
