Ok... Time for the last part of "The Wolf" screenplay. I timed myself earlier while reading the screenplay with the music included, and read it as if the actions and dialogue was real-time. If this was made into a full-length feature film, it would be 1 hour and 54 minutes.
Oh, one more thing. I printed it out put a copyright on it, so if anyone copies it and uses it somewhere else it would be plagerism; so no funny stuff.
This part will be a bit longer than all the other parts because the actions are all unified with the soundtrack, so I can't stop anywhere.
Here we go...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 8 (Final Part)
Darus/Wolf: What is it you want, Pytor?
Pytor: What do
I want? The question is, what do you want, my dear Darus?
(begins to walk across the room) You go on a long journey away from this place, yet you return, trying to overthrow me. Hestram's pitiful army is no match for my castle.
Darus/Wolf: My castle!
Pytor: Not anymore.
Wolf growls
Pytor: A wonderful castle it is, but now belongs to me, just as your guards belong to me, your possessions belong to me, your queen belongs to me--
Wolf interrupts
Darus/Wolf: Never in a thousand years will she
belong to you, Pytor! As long as I'm alive--
Pytor interrupts
Pytor: That's something I intend to make amends for.
Pytor walks quickly across the room to a large chest; cuts to the wolf
Darus/Wolf: What's in there?
Pytor: (while getting a key out of his pocket and unlocking the chest) My solution for all the troubles of the world.
Pytor takes out a small silver cup and three filled leather bags in one hand, along with a glass bottle in the other hand
Pytor puts the three bags down in a line and opens the first one, then takes out a tiny grain of something and puts it out on the table; Pytor closes the bag he opened and opens the second bag, doing the same as he did with the first bag, and then opening the third to do the same again
Pytor: (as he opens the bottle and lets a small trickle of water come out for half a second) I am giving you two choices, Darus. You don't know as much as you thought you did about your own castle. You understand what is needed, when you want it, and you can conclude anything from any response given to you. I know, I've seen you command before. What I am trying to say is, you would make a perfect servant. If you refuse, your head would make a perfect trophy in the main hall. Serve me, or die. It's simple, really.
Darus/Wolf: I would rather die than to ever be anything under you!!
Pytor: (as he individually picks up each grain he had laid out before) Just as good, but I'll still give you another chance to reconsider. These three grains are ruby, diamond, and gold. These grains will be submerged into this water taken from underground and mixed with powder of the bones of the Seven Swordsmen. I have but to sprinkle 7 drops onto the ground, and they will obey my every comma--
Wolf interrupts
Darus/Wolf: I know what they do! You don't have to repeat it; everyone knows the tales that have been told of these
Seven Swordsmen; killing everything in their path, but strangely do not have the ability to travel at a quick pace.
Pytor: I see you understand the danger you're in, Darus. Here's your chance to answer my question again.
Pytor drops the three grains into the silver cup with the water, then lifts the cup and throws it on the ground; cuts to the wolf's face with widened eyes; cuts to Pytor with insanely evil eyes; cuts to the cup on the ground which slowly stops rolling
Cuts to closeup view of the cup; cut to seven water drops on floor next to the cup; cuts to closeup view of one water drop which starts to turn black with a small tint of red glow; water drop instantly grows wider and bigger and reaches a diameter of two feet; cuts to showing all of the drops have done the same and all begin to grow upward into the shape of ghost-like figures
All seven water-like ghost figures turn into rotted corpses with mostly bone showing, skulls completely visible, tattered coats with hanging flaps on their sides, no legs but just hanging tattered flaps of clothing with a spirit-like ghostly fog surrounding the area; every part of them is completely white or see-through; each one holds a long detailed sword in both hands and all float about a foot above the ground; camera alternates between the seven swordsmen and then backs up, slowly revealing them all; this whole sequence takes 15 seconds
Cuts to Pytor who has an insanely evil and triumphant look is his eyes with an evil-looking smile; cuts to the wolf with complete fear in his eyes; wolf backs away a bit
Pytor: (cuts back to the swordsmen) These are the Seven Swordsmen. You still have a chance to serve me...or be destroyed.
Cuts to the wolf backing away a bit more with so much fear in his eyes
Cut back to Hestram and 2 other soldiers trying to move the longbow lever to open the passage, his men watching beside him
Cut to close up of Hestram with a struggling facial expression; cut to the longbow
Hestram: (strained speach) It's just---a lever!

Hestram looks inside; camera switches to eyeview of Hestram; darkness is all that's visible in the opening; cut back to regular view of Hestram
Hestram: (to soldier next to him) Give me a torch.
Soldier reaches for a torch stuck in the sandy ground next to him and gives it to Hestram; Hestram takes torch and shines it in the the dark opening as he ventures in
Cuts to showing Hestram's face turning surprised as he sees a faint golden object in the distance; Hestram begins to walk forward but sees a torch in a torch holder on the wall next to him; Hestram lifts his torch and lights the one on the wall which lights some of the ground
Cuts to close view of torch with a bamboo stick attached to it; it sizzles for 2 seconds and explodes to which Hestram looks back in surprise
The explosion of the bamboo creates a chain reaction through a line of bamboo sticks attached to each, each explosion lighting a torch every 10 feet, which ultimately lights a gigantic, olymipic size cauldron which lights the entire room; this takes 7 seconds to film
Cuts to Hestram's face filled with astonishment and wonder; cuts to showing the whole room, with the ceiling about 20 feet high and the room being 600 x 700 feet; filled with treasure beyond any man's dreams, but the treasure being all weapons and armor; cuts to the opening with the soldiers coming in and looking with awe; this takes 20 seconds to film
Hestram motions for his soldiers to come in while still looking around
Hestram: We've gotta keep moving.
Soldier: What about--
Hestram interrupts
Hestram: After we take the castle I'll ask Darus.
Cuts to the soldiers' faces looking amazed
Cuts back to Pytor and the wolf
Pytor: This is your last chance, Darus!
Darus/Wolf: Let it be, then! You'll have to kill me to gain anything at all!
Pytor: That can be arranged.
Darus/Wolf: (looks up at the sorwdsmen in terror) They can't travel quickly!
Cuts to Pytor's face which is smiling at first look, but changes into a frown in about a second
Pytor: (looks at the swordsmen and points to Darus) Kill!
Swordsmen lift their swords high above their heads and float fast toward Darus
Darus/Wolf: (widens eyes) I was wrong.
Wolf runs toward the door to see it's still closed, looks back and sees the swordsmen coming quick; swordsmen strike at wolf but wolf runs out of the way, causing the swordsmen to strike at the door, making a large hole; swordsmen turn towards where the wolf ran in the room; wolf runs toward the hole in the door and jumps through it
Swordsmen turn toward the door; cuts to the wolf running down the hall; swordsmen float through the door and after the wolf down the hall
Cuts to closeup of wolf running frantically down the hall, turning right, right again, and down a long staircase; cuts to the swordsmen following quickly behind the wolf, cutting to a closeup of their faces, all terrifying, rotten, and very white
Cuts to Hestram and his soldiers walking slowly through the giant, treasure-filled room; cuts to a soldier about to pick up a black-gripped golden-bladed sword; Hestram looks back; cuts back to soldier about to pick it up; cuts to Hestram again
Hestram: Soldier!
Soldier instantly jumps and looks at Hestram
Hestram: Stay in line!
Hestram turns back around and sees a door about 100 feet away and motions for the soldiers to keep following; Hestram starts to jog toward it; cuts to soldiers jogging after Hestram
Cuts to the wolf hiding behind a giant statue; wolf looks around it to the left slowly and sees the swordsmen coming quickly at him, so he runs down a passage behind the statue

Cuts to far view of the wolf arriving at an open doorway and dashing through it with the swordsmen following through about a second later
Cuts to wolf speeding towards another passage, going through it and going up some more stairs; the swordsmen following two seconds later
Cuts back to Hestram and his men going through the door, see a flight of stairs, and then go up; this takes 4 seconds; Hestram reach the top of the stairs and see two doorways separated by 40 feet of wall
Hestram: (motions toward the wall and whispers) Quietly.
Hestram and the soldiers quietly make their way towards the wall and lean on it; Hestram close to the door on the left part of the wall
Hestram: (points to soldier closest to him) You look through that door over there. I'll look through this one.
Cuts to Hestram's eyeview of looking through the doorway, seeing about 40 guards talking to each other in the room; cut to the soldier Hestram sent out earlier coming back
Soldier: Commander, I spot maybe 35 or 40 guards in the room I looked at. What news of this door?
Hestram: These are doorways to the same room. The only other door is that one right there.
Hestram points to a doorway about 10 feet away from the doorway he looked through
Hestram: See if it's unlocked.
Soldier nods and quickly passes the doorway to the door
Soldier pushes at the door but it doesn't budge; soldier quickly passes the doorway next to Hestram
Soldier: Commander, the door will not move.
Hestram: Then we must take the guards by surprise, so we'll have the advantage.
Soldier: Yes commander.
Cuts back to the wolf running through another hallway and passing a large room with scrolls filling many shelves; wolf stops dead and turns around to get in the room; wolf looks out of the doorway from the room and doesn't see the swordsmen in sight, then looks around at the shelves next to him by the doorway and sees the label: "ANIMAFACIENT" on the lowest shelf
Darus/Wolf: Animafacient. What is that... Anima...FACIENT! Animafacient! Animal shaping! This is it!!
Wolf claws at one of the scrolls and makes it fall down to him; wolf slowly opens the scroll with his nose and paws, then keeps it open with his legs
Darus/Wolf: (looking through the words; reads) Tigers --- Dogs ---- this isn't the one.
Wolf gets up and claws at another scroll and starts opening it with his nose and paws and looks at it; wolf's eyes widen; cuts to the scroll with large letters: "Foxes and Wolves"
Cuts back to wolf about to read; cuts to doorway where the swordsmen arrive and strike at the wolf, but miss and strike the shelf, causing about 15 scrolls to fall
Darus/Wolf: NO!!
Wolf starts running out of the room with the swordsmen hard on his tail; wolf turns right down another passage and swordsmen follow
Cuts to Hestram and his men
Hestram: Go!
Hestram and the soldiers charge the room slashing at any guards they see; cuts to one guard not even moving from his table but his face completely surprised; cuts to Hestram running at one guard who lifts his sword to parry Hestram's blow; Hestram strikes a candlestick and causes it to fly into another guard's eye
Hestram parries the guard he currently fights then turns and kicks a guard down who charges at him, but takes his sword before he falls down completely; Hestram now has a sword in each hand and strikes repeatedly at the guard he fights every half-second, with the guard parrying each blow; Hestram then gives a blow with both swords which causes the guard's sword to shatter in two
Cuts to guard's face terrified and turns to run; Hestram grabs a rope on a table nearby and throws a lash around the guard who whips back and falls on the ground unconscious
Hestram stops fighting and looks up to see Darus chased by the swordsmen through the room
Hestram: I'm comin' for you Darus! What--
A scream interrupts Hestram from the room beyond the guard room; Hestram runs toward it and sees an old woman hard against the wall
Hestram: Woman! What were those things?!
Old Woman: (lets out a small gasp) The Seven Swordsmen! Nothing can stop them, but thank heaven you came!
Hestram is baffled a bit by the woman's words
Old Woman: Here, take this! This will destroy them.
Hestram: What is this?! I came to save Darus, not destory a bunch of--
Old woman interrupts
Old Woman: General, you're the only person who can know of this! Please, take this bottle and pour just a drop on each ghost; it will kill them instantly.
Hestram: What are you driving at? Why haven't you told anyone of this?
Old Woman: You fool! These ghostly men haven't been summoned for years! If I told anyone my potion would be forever lost to that evil Pytor.
Hestram: So you're against him too?
Old Woman: Of course! Now take this and please! Destroy them! I hate them!!
Old woman shoves the bottle in Hestram's hand and runs down the hallway and takes a right; cuts to Hestram looking curiously at the potion and then looking up courageously, knowing he'll definately be able to save Darus now

Pytor: I can pull this lever right now--
Hestram interrupts
Hestram: DON'T!
Pytor holds up the crossbow, about to shoot it

(sees Hestram and Darus shaking hands) so, I see we're allies now?
Hestram: Correct. And I don't think there's any need for attacks on the other forts. Darus'll talk his other soldiers into obedience again.
Darus: And they'd better listen!
Hestram: They will Darus.
(looks out on the level at the sunrise) Oh they will.
Camera slowly cuts from Hestram on the level to Darus in his place at day time with a royal robe on and Hestram and the lieutenant behind him, with thousands of Darus' people on the ground below
Hestram, from behind, crowns Darus and the huge crowd cheers; cuts to Darus who smiles and looks to his right, where a new wife of his stands, clapping; the woman looks at Darus and both walk toward each other and kiss; crowd cheers louder; cuts to Hestram and the lieutenant looking at each other and smiling while clapping; Hestram and the lieutenant stop clapping and cuts to closeup of their hand shake
Screen blackens and cuts to credits

If made into a movie, I'd expect it to be rated PG-13 for Violence, Gore, and Some Thematic Elements
I'd like to thank Strike Wolf for being with me through the posts and posting an opinion on every update, and I'd like to thank Hawkeye for his support.
It's much much better if you read it as if it's happening real-time and with the soundtrack. If any who are reading this have "The Mummy" soundtrack I'd be glad to send them the full version with the music lines included.
I hope everyone who was reading enjoyed the story! I've already thought up a sequal which is kind of the same plot, but with more business, thrill, and taking place over a wider range of locations.
This time, it happens to Hestram, and
he is betrayed instead of Darus, with Darus coming to his rescue. The actors for the second film will be Brendan Fraser, Tom Cruise, Val Kilmer, John Rhys-Davies, and Jakob Schwarz. The title for the second film will be "The Wolf II: Hestram & Darus."
And the title page will look like this:
And no, I'm not in the movie.
My avatar and my signature just have the Val Kilmer Character from the picture.
I haven't written it yet, but it's all up here *points to head*.
It is based upon the sequal soundtrack to "The Mummy" which is the soundtrack that inspired this story, which is "The Mummy Returns" soundtrack.
Please await the second story to the series of "The Wolf."
