Pitch - Scott & the Demon
A 13 yr. old Scottish prince is being escorted by a muscle-bound warrior through a foggy swamp at sundown. The prince can't see anything - he has to trust the experience of his protector. Suddenly, a gigantic shape emerges from the fog. It is a humongous swamp demon. It turns and begins to chase the prince, the Scot warrior draws his sword and they begin to fight, while trying to retreat. The swamp gets thicker and thicker, until soon enough the battle has led to a giant log extending over a waterfall. Eventually, the demon's rage breaks the log, launching all three into the river and over the falls. All seems lost for a moment, until the warrior emerges, dragging the prince with him. The sun breaks through the fog as they stand and appreciate the moment on a rock at the base of the waterfall.

Questions we had in the meeting for this story:
ReplyDeleteWho is the protagonist, warrior or the prince? Why is the prince there? What are the motivations/goals behind each of these characters? (i.e. Where are they going and why?)
Something we talked about was the needed reason to care about the protagonist.
Scottish mythology research may also help make this story more believable.
