The Twin Priests of Lunaria
"There were two of them with crescent-shaped heads and tall bodies. They spoke with one voice, which seemed to fluctuate between male and female. It was almost dreamlike." - Ed Dwight, Astronaut
"Hold your fire! They will speak first." - Maximin, The Twisted
THE TWINS: We have existed in one form or another for a long time. thousands upon thousands of upon millions of years in many different places. And we have seen no species with as much potential as the human being. No other species can cause so much joy. Or so much pain.
MAXIMIN: Where is she? Where is your queen?
THE TWINS: She does not exist. She has ascended.
HEISENBERG: that- that doesn't make any sense.
YURI: Just let me shoot them and be done with it.
MAXIMIN: Yuri, No.
[YURI charges the Harmony Cannon]
MAXIMIN: NO. Hold. Your. Fire. [To THE TWINS:] Why are you here? Shouldn't you be back on the moon?
THE TWINS: You know why we're here.
[beat]
MAXIMIN: Yes, of course.
[He seems troubled.]
HEISENBERG: What is wrong, Maximin?
[He does not answer.]
THE TWINS: The Triune God of the Apocalypse has begun to awaken. It will only be a matter of time before the chains holding him began to break.
MAXIMIN: [To YURI and HEISENBERG] we must go with- we must go with them. You guys must trust me on this.
YURI: If they try anything, I can and will shoot them.
MAXIMIN: I understand, but it's better to try the diplomatic angle first.
[THE TWINS begin to lead them.]
[End scene]
