rospero and Sycorax


Sycorax
Too cold to walk in the evenings on days like this. (Grumbling, carrying two children of her kind, Sycorax heads to a magical hollow pine tree in which is hidden a spirit imprisoned because of its refusal to serve.)
Caliban
Mum, will Ariel serve us after our cruelty and imprisonment in the cold?
Sycorax
Yes dear, Ariel will serve us after her longing to be free.
Elaban
Grrrrrrrrrrr! (Elaban growls at a figure spying behind a rock.)
Prospero
(Emerging from behind a rock of dust.) Horrible creature of the isle, come forth to be punished for your cruelty!
Sycorax
(Putting her children away safely behind a rock.) How dare you confront a witch full of power, while the confronter is just a human!
Prospero
You are mistaken like other cruel beings, monster of a witch! Your children shall suffer if you do not accept the punishment to come!
Sycorax
(Trembling slightly at the word ‘children’)You shall harm no one else other than the one who stands before you, ready to fight. (The cool voice of Sycorax lingers in the air)
Prospero
(Raising his staff)Then let it be. Your punishment will be your death!

Sycorax and Prospero lock the battle with fierce lightning. The sounds are deafening, even Ariel clasps her hands over her ears, expecting any sooner that her prison would blow. Sycorax hisses her curses blowing gases of blood and poison into the air, her goal to poison her confronter. Prospero stands on his ground, whispering his charms into his staff. At last, the battle ends with a tremendous blow that knocks over both magic. 
Prospero
Let that serve to you as a lesson. (He rises from the ground and disappears past Sycorax into a cloud of dust)
Sycorax
My children shall have revenge on you once I have passed away!

Prospero turns and looks into the monster’s eyes before disappearing for good before Ariel. Sycorax hisses her lasts words of cruelty in the air before rising painfully and moving away.
Caliban
MUMMY!
Sycorax
Goodbye dears. Take care of yourselves and have revenge on this Prospero. Thwart him with cruelty, hurt his soul, and take away everything from him for me. Even his children. Challenge him. Menace him of destroying his life with curses and poisons and enslave him. Bring justice on him and revenge and pray for my safe return to kill the lasts of him.(Sycorax lies her head down on a smooth rock and passes away leaving her children full with grief)
