MORGANI don’t understand. Why are you here? Did anyone else see you arrive?

JACKWait a minute. You didn’t send the Tree House for us?

ANNIEWith the Royal Invitation?

JACKTo a banquet in Camelot?

MORGANNo. There are no banquets in Camelot any more.

ANNIEWhat??

JACKWhy not?

MORGANAfter your last adventure in the Tree House, a dark wizard challenged King Arthur’s throne. There was a terrible battle....

ANNIEOh, no! Did King Arthur lose the battle?

MORGANNo. He won the battle....

A BATTLE WAGED A VICTORYA JOYOUS CELEBRATION

ALLHooray!

MORGANBUT A BITTER, JEALOUS ENEMYIN ANGER AND FRUSTRATION DID CALL UPON HIS WIZARDRYTO CAST AN EVIL SPELLAND ROB THE KINGDOM OF ITS JOY

ANNIEOh...that’s so mean!

MORGANWAIT -- THERE’S MORE TO TELL

WITHOUT ITS JOY THE LAND GREW COLD AND GREYNO SUNNY DAYS TO BREAK THE GLOOM NO SPRINGTIME FLOWERS’ SWEET PERFUME NO DANCING, NO LAUGHTER NO HAPPILY EVER AFTER

JACKReally?

MORGANOh, yes.ALL STORIES ENDED SADLY GOOD MEN BEHAVED QUITE BADLY

ANNIEThat’s terrible!

MORGANYes. It was very bad. King Arthur was at a loss.

JACKWhat did he do?

MORGANHe did what he has always done when he needs help. He asked the advice of his oldest friend.

JACKMerlin!

MORGANYes.

MERLINTHREE KNIGHTS MUST GO TO LIFT THE CURSE THE BRAVEST AND THE BESTUNTO THE DREADED OTHERWORLD AND THIS SHALL BE THEIR QUEST:

THERE IS A CAULDRON WAITING THEREFROM WHICH ALL JOY DOES FLOWTHESE KNIGHTS MUST OVERCOME THEIR DREADAND TO THE CAULDRON GO!

JACKUm... excuse me? What were the knights so afraid of?

19

ANNIEYeah, what’s so scary about the Otherworld?

MORGANThe Otherworld is a land of mystery, the source of all magic. It is guarded by huge iron gates. No one knows what is on the other side. There are tales of terrible beasts -- monsters, dragons with fiery breath and razor-sharp teeth....

JACKGot it.

MORGANAND SO THREE KNIGHTS WERE SENT AT ONCETHE KINGDOM HELD ITS BREATH THE DAYS GREW INTO WEEKS, THEN MONTHS...HAD EACH KNIGHT MET HIS DEATH?SLAIN BY AWESOME MONSTERS?FELLED BY EVIL SPELLS?IMPRISONED BY THEIR ENEMIESIN LONELY DUNGEON CELLS?

MERLINYOUR MAJESTY....

KING ARTHURNO! DO NOT SPEAK! THERE IS NO MORE TO TELL!

MORGANArthur was so angry that he banished Merlin from the realm.

20

JACKOh, no!

MORGANAnd that is not all...

21

TRACK 6 -- NOT THE MAN HE WAS

GUINEVEREGentle Sirs, the king most humbly begs your forgiveness. He is not himself.

SIR BORSIndeed.

SIR KAYThis melancholy is not good, Madam. Not good for the Kingdom.

GUINEVERENo, nor for the king. I fear the curse has broken his will. And the loss of Lancelot, Galahad, and Percival has broken his heart.

SIR BORSBe that as it may, my lady, the people need a leader. This is not the King they loved and revered.

GUINEVEREYes. I know....

COURAGE, HONOR, WISDOM, TRUTH ALL TRAITS OF HIS I CHERISH LOVE OF BEAUTY, JOY OF YOUTH HIS GREATNESS WILL NOT PERISH BUT IN THESE DAYS, UPON HIS FACE WHERE HOPE DID ONCE ABIDE I LOOK AT HIM AND SEE NO TRACE OF THE REGAL MAN INSIDE AND AS I FALL ASLEEP EACH NIGHT I PRAY I WILL AWAKEN TO FIND MY HUSBAND IN THE FIGHT TO TAKE BACK WHAT'S BEEN TAKEN BUT INSTEAD I ARISE WITH A BROKEN MAN WHO'S ABANDONED HOPE AND CAUSENO, HE'S NOT THE MAN YOU REMEMBERNO, HE’S NOT THE MAN HE WAS

ANNIEOh, wow. He looks so sad.

GUINEVEREMorgan! Did you discover the source of the noise in the courtyard?

MORGANYes, my lady. May I present Jack and Annie of Frog Creek.

22

GUINEVEREJack! Annie! Arthur has spoken so fondly of you. What brings you to Camelot?

ANNIEWell, we thought we were invited.

JACKBut I guess there was some mistake.

MORGANNevertheless, I wonder if their visit might bring the king a bit of cheer.

GUINEVEREYes, perhaps it is for the good.

MORGANYes.

MY GOOD FRIEND KING ARTHURI HAVE KNOWN SINCE HE WAS TENHOW GLAD I’D BE IF ONLY HECOULD LAUGH THE WAY HE LAUGHED BACK THEN

SIR KAYREMEMBER THE TIME KING ARTHURWORE A SUIT OF SILVER IN PURSUITOF A KNIGHT ALL DRESSED IN BLACKTIL HE CHASED THE VILLAIN BACK TO FRANCEWHY THE GALLIC HEATHEN NEVER STOOD A CHANCE!

SIR BORSAND THERE WAS A TIME WHEN THE CASTLE WALLS DID RINGWITH THE SONGS HE LOVED TO SING FAR AND WIDE HIS VOICE WOULD SQUAWKLIKE A SCREECHING PIGEON HAWK!

SIR KAYIT’S TRUE!

SIR BORSALAS, I HAVEN’T HEARD HIM SING IN MONTHS .... HAVE YOU?

KNIGHTSTO OUR FRIEND AND KING WE SWORE A VOWWHICH WE NEVER THOUGHT TO QUESTION UNTIL NOW

ANNIETHE KING CAN’T HELP IF HE’S BEEN CURSED

JACKTRUE FRIENDS DON’T LEAVE WHEN THINGS ARE AT THEIR WORST

23

GUINEVERETRUE AND STEADFAST I SHALL KEEPMY LOVE CANNOT BE SHAKENSTILL AS I FALL EACH NIGHT TO SLEEPI DREAM I WILL AWAKENTO THE MAN I HAVE ALWAYS RELIED UPONFOR THE JOY HE BRINGSFOR THE COURAGE OF KINGSFOR THE SIMPLE THINGS HE DOESNO, HE’S NOT THE MAN YOU REMEMBERNO, HE’S NOT THE MAN HE WAS

NO, HE’S NOT THE MAN I REMEMBERNO, HE’S NOT THE MAN HE WAS

24

TRACK 7 -- WHO WILL GO?

RED KNIGHTI come to see Arthur the king!

KING ARTHURI am Arthur the king!

RED KNIGHTCamelot is dying! Why has no one journeyed to the Otherworld to recapture Camelot’s joy?

KING ARTHURI have sent my best knights on such a quest. They never returned.

RED KNIGHTThen send more!

KING ARTHURNo! Never again will I feed good men to the magic and monsters of the Otherworld!

RED KNIGHTThen you seal your fate. If you will send no one else to seek the Cauldron, all that your kingdom has gained through time -- the beauty, music, wonder, and light, all that Camelot has ever been or could ever be -- will be lost and forgotten forever!

ANNIEOh, no!

JACKShhh!

TRACK 8 -- FOUR GIFTS

ANNIEWhat have you done to them? She’s cold! Cold as ice!

RED KNIGHTYes. She and the others will return to life only after you complete your quest.

JACKWhat exactly IS our quest?

RED KNIGHTYou must journey to the Otherworld. There you will find a cauldron. The cauldron is filled with the Water of Memory and Imagination. Only the Water of Memory and Imagination has the power to break the Dark Wizard’s curse. You must bring a cup filled with this water back to Camelot. If you fail, Camelot and all in it will never come back to life.

ANNIENever?

RED KNIGHTNever.

ANNIEWell, how are we supposed to do all that? We don’t even know where the Otherworld is!

RED KNIGHTListen carefully:

JACKHold it! I’d better write this down...

29

TRACK 9 -- FLY!

ANNIEOkay! What do we do first?

JACKI don’t believe you.

ANNIEWhat?

JACKDo you realize what you’ve gotten us into?

ANNIESure, we’re going to save Camelot and bring Morgan and everybody back to life.

JACKRight. By going to some spooky place we don’t even know where is, that’s full of monsters that probably ate the three best knights in Camelot, and finding some kind of magic water that’s guarded by some weird “keepers” ...

ANNIEYep. Let’s go!

JACKAnnie! We don’t even know where we’re going! Or what to do when we get there!

IT’S SIMPLY NOT ADVISABLETO TAKE A RISK THIS SIZEABLEWITHOUT A SOLID STRATEGYIT ALL COULD END IN TRAGEDY!

ANNIEBUT WHAT IF NO ONE EVER CARED OR TRIED OR DAREDOR EVER WONDERED WHY?

Let’s go!

JACKNo, no, no!WE NEED TO HAVE A SOLID PLAN DISCOVER EVERYTHING WE CANTO HELP US FULLY UNDERSTAND THIS VERY RISKY TASK AT HAND!

ANNIEBUT IF WE WAIT AND FRET, DEBATE AND SWEAT WE’LL NEVER EVER EVEN TRY!

JACKWAIT!!!!You always do this! You just jump in without thinking and get us into all sorts of trouble!

ANNIEWell, if I waited for you, we’d never do anything!

JACKWell, we can’t do anything until we get to the Otherworld! It could be miles away! And we can’t even ask anybody, because everybody’s frozen!

ANNIEJack....

JACKSo even if I wanted to just jump in and do it, like you, where would I go?

ANNIEJack...

JACKAnd how would I get there?

ANNIEJack...

ANNIEThis isn’t scary.

ANNIEOh, yeah, I see them.

JACKWow, this is fun!

ANNIELook at you!

JACKI’m going to join the dance!

ANNIEJack, you never dance!

JACKI don’t care! I’m going to join those dancers!

39

ANNIEReally? What about Morgan? And everybody back at Camelot?

JACKThey can wait.

ANNIEJack!

JACKHey! You always say I’m too careful! That I think about stuff, and plan, and worry too much, right?

ANNIEWell --

JACKDidn’t you just say I should jump into things?

ANNIEYeah, but --

JACKWell, watch me, Annie! I’m jumping!

ANNIEJaaaaack!!!!!

JACKAnnie! Come on! This is really fun!

ANNIEJack, stop! We don’t have time to dance!

ANNIEOh, no! King Arthur’s knights!

JACKYes! Nights and days! Days and nights! And fun! Fun! Fun! Come on!

40

ANNIEJack!

ANNIE RUNS, TACKLES JACK

JACKWhat’s the matter with you? Why’d you tackle me? I’ve got to get back to the dance!

ANNIEJack, look! King Arthur’s three knights! They’re caught in the dance!

JACKReally?

ANNIEThe dancers must be the Keepers of the Cauldron! Remember? “Beyond the Iron Gate, the Keepers of the Cauldron wait...”?

JACKNo...

ANNIEYes! It’s a trap! It looks like fun at first, but people dance forever. They can’t break free!

JACKBut how come you didn’t get caught in the dance?

ANNIEI don’t know, I guess I was just too worried about Morgan and our mission.

SIR LANCELOTHelp!

JACKWhat can we do?

ANNIEWe have to go into the circle together. You break in beside the knight in blue and dance beside him while I break in beside the knight in green.

JACKI -- I think that’s Sir Lancelot!

ANNIEWhoever! I’ll grab his hand. Then when I yell, we both pull as hard as we can.

41

JACKWhat if I start to get caught in the music again?

ANNIEYou won’t! Just remember why we’re here! Think “Morgan! Arthur! Camelot!”

JACKRight. Okay. Morgan. Arthur. Camelot. Morgan. Arthur. Camelot. Let’s go!

ANNIEWow.

JACKYeah.

ANNIEThat was pretty amazing.

JACKIt was, yeah.

ANNIEHow did we do that?

JACKI don’t know. As soon as I tasted the water, I suddenly remembered everything I’d ever read or studied about dragons -- including the fact that, ironically, the only thing fire-breathing dragons are afraid of is fire itself.

ANNIENo kidding.

JACKYeah. But I didn’t have any idea what to DO with that information.

ANNIEWhen I tasted the water, I suddenly imagined us both being super brave and strong and defeating the dragons -- but I didn’t have any idea HOW!

JACKSo I remembered and you imagined.
