Cecily has a disturbing dream of a dragon attacking the kingdom. She is visited by Hecate, the goddess of crossroads and sorcery, who reveals that Cecily has the gift of sight and is a seer. Hecate convinces Cecily to recount her dream and realizes it was a vision of the future. Hecate tells Cecily that she must warn others of the coming dragon attack, though Cecily is unsure how she can make anyone believe or listen to her as she is just a child. Hecate then disappears, leaving Cecily alone and unsure of how to prepare for the dragon threat she has foreseen.

SCENE 6 WRITTEN BY JANIE 1 SOUND: WIND SWIRLING AROUND IN THE NIGHT. A STORM BEGINS TO FORM, SHUTTERS BANG, AND RAIN BEGINS TO POUND. DOGS BARK AND FARM ANIMALS ARE SCARED AS WE ARRIVE AS THE PORTMAN HOUSE. 2 CECILY (TOSSING AND TURNING IN BED, HER DREAMS... OR SOMETHING ELSE... ARE DISTURBING HER) No... No go away... Get away from me! 3 SOUND: THE STORM GETS WORSE. THE THRASHING BECOMES ALMOST TORNADO-LIKE. STARTS SWIRLING FASTER AND FASTER. 4 CECILY (COMMANDING) NO! 5 SOUND: THE STORM ENDS ABRUPTLY. A RINGING, DREAMLIKE QUALITY REMAINS. 6 CECILY (WAKING UP) What... Where am I? Who is there? 7 SOUND: A LIGHT MUSICAL WIND, LIKE A WOMAN BREATHING. 8 HECATE Shh. Be calm, child. There is no need to fear me. 9 CECILY (HESITANT) I... I have seen you before. 10 HECATE I know. I do not often make my presence known, but sometimes my disguises slip. Especially when seen through such clear eyes as your own, my dear. 11 CECILY What do you mean? 12 HECATE Surely you have noticed this by now? Vivid dreams by night, and by day even stranger sights? Things... Hidden in the shadows? 13 CECILY How did you- (CONTINUED) CONTINUED: 6. 14 HECATE I see many things child, and so do you. My dear, you are a Seer. 15 CECILY What?? 16 HECATE It is a type of magic that allows you to see more than the human eye is capable. Past, present, even future events may be apparent through the eyes of a Seer. Through your eyes. 17 SOUND: MOVEMENT OF AIR AND WHISPERS AS HECATE CIRCLES CECILY. 18 HECATE (SLOW, THOUGHTFUL) Visions, Dreams, of things that have not yet taken place. I have seen the world through your eyes my sweet, and I know what is to come. But you must begin to interpret your own sight. You are getting older, and need to start claiming your place in this world. Now come my child, tell me of your dream. 19 SOUND: THE MOVEMENT STOPS AS CECILY BEGINS HER RECOLLECTIONS. 20 CECILY Ill try... (PAUSE) Screams. Screams of my family, of my friends. Everything is shaking and no one knows what to do. Red, the entire world was covered in a great blanket of red... But it was warm... Too warm, burning... Hot... Fire! Everywhere filled with fire! (BREAKING OUT OF HER TRANCE) Oh please can I stop? It hurts to remember... So much pain... Please... 21 HECATE Not yet Cecily, you must finish. You must face the future. Now go on, finish your dream. 22 CECILY (RETURNING TO THE DREAM) The entire Kingdom was there, fighting, trying to stop it... It... Him... He was huge, he was fire, he was the sky, he was a beast... He... He was... 23 HECATE Say it Cecily! Say it or it will be forgotten! (CONTINUED) CONTINUED: 7. 24 CECILY DRAGON! 25 SOUND: ALL SOUNDS END ABRUPTLY. HECATE IS REDUCED TO THE WHISPER OF AIR SHE WAS AT THE BEGINNING. 26 HECATE (WHISPERING) What you have seen will come to pass. He will come. But you have the knowledge now. You have the power to change the future. 27 CECILY But what could I possibly do to stop him? I am not a sorcerer, I am just a child! I have no power... 28 HECATE (FADING) Warn them... Make them see, make them realize what must be done... 29 CECILY But how? How can I make them listen? What am I to do? 30 SOUND: THE WIND LEAVES. HECATE IS GONE. 31 CECILY Come back! What am I going to do? What will I do?
