fates were blowing in the wind (wind noises) F1-He will not make it F2-Who? F3-Starboy F2-He will not live F1-Who? F3-Starboy F4-He will change the world someday F1-Who? F3-Starboy N2-The wind grew more rapid (shoo shoo) as the fates, they argued and argued F1-He will not make it F4-He will change the world someday F2-He will not live F4-He will change the world someday F1-How can you challenge me, a fate? F4-How can you challenge me, also a fate? F2-Because more of us say he shall not make it (he will not live) F4- Do they not know who this boy is? (starboy) From where he comes? (starboy) Do they not know the prophecy? He will overthrow them all. (starboy)He may not be a god, but he, is, a (STARBOY) Hermes- Zeus, the babies have been born. Zeus- Babies? (theres more than one) Hermes- Well yes, sort of. Two were born on the same day, but it is of no issue. One, he is strong and fit, they call him Maximum. The other well he is (laugh laugh), Im sorry sir, but hes a reject. He is blind and he stutters. (starboy) Zeus- Ha ha (laugh), a reject he must be. Hermes- The prophecy must mean the first boy. Zeus- That it must. That it must. Kill off the normal child, Maxim or whatever his name was. Hermes- And for the reject? Zeus- Oh, let him live. He is no threat! (He will not make it.)

Hermes- Of course he isnt! (He will not live) N1- In the village lightning struck the house of Maxim. (Crash!) (Boom) The house it burned, the mom (dead) the dad (dead) the son, their first son (Maximdead). The villagers mourned, but Zeus did not let it rain. The fates whispered (no rain for the death? That is our policy. Zeus is stepping over our bounds). N2-Years go by before a raindrop falls. And once they did, they created pools and puddles. (Rain sounds) Starboy- Puddle Puddle Puddle. (splash splash splash) Mother- Reject, where are you? Starboy- Puddle Puddle Puddle (splash, splash, splash) Mother- Reject, get inside, its raining. Starboy- Mommy, look, this one is named Starboy. Mother- Inside. Now. Starboy- Mommy, this raindrop, its name is Starboy. Mother- Raindrops dont have names reject. N1- The fate, the one that knew the prophecy, was reaching out to Starboy, trying to show him that his true name was Starboy not reject, but Starboy was struggling. He thought the raindrop was Starboy. Starboy was struggling until Mother- Oh my gosh! Hes drowning! Help Help Help. (Help Help Help) N2- But no one was around. No one could hear her scream (lalala cant hear you). She jumped into the huge puddle, but Starboy was sinking in the mud (down down down), and he was too heavy for her to save. He slipped out of her hands and sank completely into the ground. Mother- No! No! No! (Oooohh Ooohh Ooohh-sung) N1- The fate, he opened up the underworld and let Starboy in. For years and years the fate trained Starboy, but at first Starboy resisted. Starboy-Its not worth it. Everyone calls me reject. (fore he is) F4- You are not a reject. (hes lying to you) Starboy- But Im blind and I stutter when I talk. F4- Then train, train, train! Learn to see without your eyes. Starboy- I dont get what that means. How can I see without my eyes? F4- Use your other senses. Use your surroundings. What color is this? Starboy-I cant tell. F4- Use your surroundings. N2- So Starboy did. His training improved. Soon he could see color without his eyes. F1-How can he see without color

F2-This is not possible F4-I told you he would grow stronger N2- Soon he knew every raindrop by its name. The fate told Starboy of the prophecy. F4-It is your job to dethrone Zeus. (He will not make it) Starboy- I wont do it. F4-But you must. (He will not live) Starboy- I wont. I cant do it. F4- You cannot create your own destiny. (He disrespects you silly fate) Starboy- You cannot tell me what to do if you what you tell me to do is not the right thing. Im bigger than that. This does not mean I dont have unfinished business with Zeus and Hermes. N1- The fate let Starboy out of the underworld. To remind Starboy of how much he grew in the Underworld, The Fate created a canyon, a grand canyon to remind Starboy of how much he grew when he didnt think he could. To remind me that even though he could not see, he could feel, feel the enormity of his purpose. N2- No one knows what was said in the conversation between Zeus and Starboy. But to this day, when someone says the word reject, Zeus sends Hermes to play the cruelest trick of all on the person who said the word that must not be named. And as for the fates, they learned that having a disability isnt a fate because the only disability in the world is a bad attitude.
