Act 1: The Teachings of Isis
"Isis, Queen of Sorcery,
your golden light shines through the veil
between what is, was and will be.
Life of the Nile, Weaver of Fate,
Guide my wanderings through past, present
and future as I travel the hidden all.
May my vision be true, and my path
guided by your wisdom. Blessed Be."

The scene opens on a dimly lit room somewhere in the estate of the Golden Goddess. The room was done in a white colored sandstone, with hieroglyphics written on the wall. It shows the Goddess Isis with servants and slaves, never turning away anyone that is lower then she. She embraces the people around her in love and peace, while the heavens open above them and the golden face of Ra looking down upon them. A group of 20 young women kneel wearing white robes in front of a large throne that is done in gold and precious gemstones. The floor that they kneel on is done in black marble, with a mosaic of the Goddess Isis. The torches around the room flicker as the door opens to the room. The High Priestess walks in, dressed in full robes, followed by Stacy, dressed in a deep blue robe, with a laurel around her head.
High Priestess: Today is a day of joy my children. The Goddess has brought you here to take part in the final test. You have been on the mainland learning everything that you need to know, but now is the ultimate test of your faith in your Goddess.
Out in the hallway Cleo stands waiting to enter the room after Olivia had made her speech, and told the followers what to expect. Ayla had left just a few hours before, leaving Cleo to get ready for a very important ritual on the island. The newest followers had come from the mainland, after months of training under followers that had been in the cult for at least a few years. Cleo smiles to herself as she looks at herself in one of the many mirrors in the house waiting to be called into the room. Her mind wanders to her match on Sunday and she smirks slightly, as her ruby red lips curl into a Cheshire cat like grin.
Cleo: Zelda I don't think there is anything else that I can say to you about our match. I know neither of us will fall that easily, and won't back down from this match either. You see I'm not one that backs down that easy, and I know that Roxi and Ayla will be gunning for you as well. But I want the pleasure, no the honor of taking you down, and gaining that Women's Title for myself. Sunday night you will be left bleeding in the middle of the ring when I'm done with you, along with Roxi lying by your side wondering what went wrong in trying to take me down. Ayla knows that if she wins the title, then that's fine with me, but I know that I'll be the one walking out of the arena Sunday night with the title on my shoulder, while you are left with nothing.
Cleo smiles slyly as the door to the room opens, and Cleo sighs, before walking through the door. The followers utter prayers to the Goddess as she passes by them and stands in front of the golden throne. Cleo smiles as she looks over them, and beckons them to rise.
Cleo: My children, you are here because you are the chosen ones that have passed the first tests, and now you have one last test to past. You must pass through the darkness of the world and into the light of your Goddess. You have been prepared to live and to die in my service. If you shouldn't pass this test remember you will be with me on the other side my children. Now prepare yourselves for your journey, and we shall begin your final test.
Cleo walks out of the room, and waits for the followers, Olivia, and Stacy to walk out. They soon come out of the room, and Cleo just smiles as each of them pass by. She stays at the back of the line, with Stacy by her side. They head out into the beautiful island heading to an unknown location. The sun was shinning brightly in the sky, while the birds chirped in the trees. A light breeze blew the trees, as the smell of the beautiful tropical flowers drifted on the air.
Stacy: Are you alright ma'am?
Cleo: I'm fine Stacy. I'm just thinking about my match on Sunday that's all.
Stacy: I'm sure that you'll win ma'am. I mean you have already taken down a number of the so-called Diva's in the NCW, and proven that you are truly the best in the company. All you have to do now is take Zelda down and prove that you are truly the rightful Women's Champion ma'am.
Cleo: I know Stacy. This match isn't going to be easy, but I will do everything and anything to win it. Ayla know
that if she gets in my way, she will be in danger, and that it is nothing against her, but Roxi and Zelda are free game.
Stacy: That is very true ma'am. You are the best and always have been the best no matter what they put you through.
Cleo smiles and nods, as she stops in front of a bush decorated with purple flowers. Cleo picks one and places it in Stacy's hair. Stacy blushes slightly, as Cleo kisses her on the cheek, and sends to the front with the rest to help direct them to the final test.
Cleo: I love Stacy to death, but at times she can be such a kiss ass. Zelda you and I have exchanged more words then I think Ayla and Roxi put together. You want to keep your title, while I want to take it away from you, and make it my own. Like I said I will do everything and anything to take it from you, no matter what it takes, and no matter who gets hurt in the process. Bring everything that you have to the ring. I don't want to see you in your depressed state; I want you full of rage, and hate. Take all that anger you have for your brother and take it into the ring, and face me. Lets see if you can win in a match against someone that has a clear mind, and is focused on what she wants.
They soon reach a cave that seems to open to the depths of the underworld. Two torches that stand on either side of the cave opening are lit brightly casting shadows into the darkness before them. Cleo walks up to the front of the cave and smiles softly as she looks over the new followers knowing only a few of them would make it out alive.
Cleo: In here, you will face the darkness of the world around you. When you reach the end of the Labyrinth there will be a door that is open that will guide you into the light. This door will remain open for only a day, and after that is will be closed. I'm sure all of you will make it, but if you do not, then you will serve me in the next world dear children. Go and set forth your journey. Blessed Be!
As they each pass by Cleo, they bow and head into the darkness of the cave. Olivia, Stacy and Cleo stand at the mouth, as the last one walks into the darkness before her. Cleo soon removes the heavy headpiece that she wore and hands it to Stacy.
Cleo: How long do you think it'll take them to get to the door?
Olivia: A few of them a few hours... While the others I think a full day. They know the door is going to close so they'll try to reach it before their time is up.
Stacy: But you'll have to leave for your match before too long ma'am.
Cleo: I know Stacy. I'm not worried about that. I'll leave once the door is closed and those that have made it are marked.
Stacy: Are you sure you'll have enough time to check out the ring and everything before your match on Sunday?
Cleo: Don't worry about anything Stacy. Everything will be just fine. I'll have enough time to relax a bit, and still train for my match on Sunday night. Why don't you two go back to the house and get my things together for my trip.
Olivia: Yes my Goddess. Come along Stacy. Leave the Goddess to her thoughts.
Stacy: Yes mother.
Both of them bow to Cleo before walking off leaving Cleo alone once more. Cleo stands there for a moment and laughs slightly. Most of them wouldn't make it out alive, and it was just another sacrifice to the darkness that surrounded the island itself.
Cleo: Roxi, are you scared of what is to come, or are you still upset with your dear husband for what he has done? If you are get over it, and move on. Find someone else that will say they will never cheat on you, and love you forever, and see what happens. Sunday night I hope you are focused on what is at stake and what really matters. Forget about everything else for just an evening, and show me what you really have. Show me that you can stand against me, show me that you are willing to risk it all! Sunday night I will not back down from any of you, and I will bring everything thing I have, and everything that I am to that ring just to get my hands on that Women's title. What will you do Roxi? Will you back down, and curl up in the corner, or will you be so full of rage that you will want to try to take me down, and gain a piece of gold for yourself?
Cleo just smiles to herself, as she starts up the pathway to the estate. The dirt under Cleo's feet was soft and warm as she walked, under the face of Ra. The gentle breeze danced through her long hair as she walked along, thinking about how the match was going to go.
Cleo: This will be my most glorious moment ever. When I stand in the middle of the ring, with my hand lifted high, and the Women's Title over my shoulder, the whole world will realize who the true champion has been all along since I arrived in the NCW. Zelda's time as champion is over, while mine is beginning. Roxi shall fall at my feet, while Ayla is at my side celebrating with me over the fact that I have the Women's title on my arm.
She just smiles and walks on, staring straight ahead.
Cleo: Come Sunday Zelda, Roxi, and even my dearest Ayla, I will be the one that will decide the fate of our match. I want that title that she holds around her arm, and I will get it no matter what it takes. I will have what is rightfully mine on Sunday night, while at least two of you will be on the mat wondering where you went wrong when you faced me. Soon you will know why I am feared and loved, hated and adored. I am the Golden Queen, the Queen of Kings, the life giving Nile! I am Egypt! See you soon ladies.
She laughs, and the birds in the trees take flight, as if scared from an unknown source. She looks up at the sky, with a grin upon her ruby red lips, and her eyes closed as if lost in thought or trance, muttering in some unknown language, as the scene fades to black.
