Ok here's the link to the place where it'll be updated.
https://archiveofourown.org/users/1x68/works
I'll try to update at least one "part" every weekend.
------------------------
The website I was looking to post this in for cleaner formatting, etc, needs a few days just to register.
I'll leave a bit of the beginning here first, and when I get through archiveofourown's weird sign up process, I'll update the OP with the link. I am editing to the whole thing more readable to others so it'll take me time to push out parts. Yeah.
So just "disclaimers," this is the script of what was suppose to be a comic I made up some years ago. Details on any visual elements might be lacking in the writing, and sometimes there's these weird jumps that's only not jarring in comic format haha. Stuff like that I'm more or less aware of.
This story is unfinished, and I don't intend to finish it, but I'd still like to leave it here for reasons unknown.
A skeleton of the ending does exist, so if I feel like it's worth making a quick "spoiler" when it comes time, I'll do that.
Most "chapters" are also untitled whoops.
Reading old writing is fun.
STAGE CIRO
1.1: Awake (Click to View)
Davis lies with his eyes closed in his bed below his slightly open window.
His room is spacious, and looks as if it’s kept uncluttered and untouched.
Narrator Text: [He ran to the edge of Lion forest. He made it far. But his eyes have been closed for 7 years now. The tension has since diminished; however, the threat is not over yet]
A cloaked figure appears outside of the courthouse.
Dennis was just heading back when he sees him before the gate.
Dennis: (Who’s that?? This energy… It’s unfamiliar… Who is he?)
The cloaked figure breaks open the gate with a strong gust of wind and leaps in.
Dennis: (Davis and Master!) Hey!! *runs in after him*
Dennis runs after him.
The cloaked figure notices Dennis’s presence and stops to face him.
Dennis: from the way you let yourself in, I don’t think you’re someone Master would like to meet.
Without a word, the cloaked figure raises his arm and sends an icy blast of wind at him.
Dennis jumps out of the way and lunges at him. He gets down in an attempt to trip him, but the cloaked figure jumps back to the porch outside of the house Davis is in.
The cloaked figure steps back into the house. He throws up a wall of fire to stop Dennis from following him.
Dennis: (That sorcerer…) Davis!
Woody rushes out from another house across the courtyard.
Woody: Dennis! I heard shouting. What’s going on?
Dennis: Woody! Someone dangerous is heading to Davis’ room! Master doesn’t seem to be around, it’s just us!
Woody: Davis is helpless… Tsk— Come on! *grabs his arm and teleports beside Davis*
Woody grabs Dennis’s arm to teleport them inside the house.
They appear beside Davis’s bed, right before the sorcerer.
The sorcerer holds out his dagger at them.
Woody: Looks like we made it just in time.
Dennis: God, I hate it when you do that…
Sorcerer: tsk… *stabs down his weapon*
The sorcerer attacks them with his weapon. Woody puts his weight down on his arms and kicks the sorcerer back. The sorcerer recovers quickly. Dennis follows up with multiple quick kicks, forcing the sorcerer to the middle of the room. Woody throws curved energy blasts past the sorcerer, drawing his attention away from the two fighters. Woody makes his move, he appears before the sorcerer, puts a dent in his chest, and sends him crashing into the wall. The wall crumbles around him.
Woody: huh… is that all…?
The sorcerer heals his massive injury in a matter of seconds and emerges from the debris.
Sorcerer: It’s nice to know that there are strong fighters here. I’m almost intimidated.
The sorcerer points at Dennis.
Sorcerer: But you… you don’t impress me.
Dennis: W-what?
Woody: Watch it!
The sorcerer freezes Dennis to the ground. Dennis struggles but he can’t free himself. A dagger flies into his shoulder. Before he could react, a blast of icy wind engulfs him. Ice shards tear into him.
Woody: Dennis!
Dennis crashes to the ground. The storm left him battered and unable to feel his legs. A dragon mark up his left leg glows.
Dennis: Don’t get distracted too!
The sorcerer slashes his dagger at him.
Woody catches his arm.
Woody: Nice try…
Woody fires energy blasts and sends the sorcerer back. The sorcerer summons his staff and reflects the attack back at him. Woody blocks but Sorceress then blasts him with fire. Woody continuously dodges. He doesn’t realize the sorcerer’s movement pattern until he’s trapped in a large ring of fire.
Woody: Huh?!
The ring of fire rises and collapses onto him. Woody protects himself with his energy but to no avail. Woody drops to his knees, covered in burns
Dennis: (Where’s Master at a time like this?!) Davis!
The sorcerer smirks.
Sorcerer: tsk. (I have to get the job done quick...)
The sorcerer turns to Davis, still unconscious in his bed.
Dennis attempts to get up but is unable to. He desperately begs Davis to wake up. Sorceress holds the dagger over him
Dennis’ mark glows as he shouts.
Dennis: Davis! Davis, wake up!
[Inside Davis’s mind]
Davis: (Why are you so loud…?)
Dennis: Open your eyes!
Davis: (Don’t tell me what to do…)
Dennis: please…!
Davis: (When was the last time I heard this voice…?)
Dennis: Davis!!
Davis’ eyes open, his irises a bright blue.
His room is spacious, and looks as if it’s kept uncluttered and untouched.

Old master Tian sits on a stool beside Davis's bed. A healer, John, heals Dennis’ legs as he sits on the end of the bed while Woody’s burns are being tended to by another healer, Jan. Davis makes a scene in the middle of the room.
Davis: Seven years?!
Dennis: I was beginning to think you’d be stuck in a comatose forever.
John: If it wasn’t for the sorcerer’s attack, he might have been
Woody: Tian, someone like you would have surely sensed the enemy even at rest! Why didn’t you help us earlier?
Jan: Hold still!
Tian: Well, if I interrupted earlier, Davis wouldn’t be awake now, right?
Dennis stands up suddenly.
Dennis: we could have been killed!
John: woah!
Dennis: gaah my leg!
Tian: Yes, but you weren’t.
Tian pokes him with his cane.
Tian: I heard everything, Dennis. One thing; you need to stop getting so frustrated when someone belittles you. Focus on your task at hand and stop comparing yourself to others.
Dennis: W-when did this become about me??
Davis cuts in.
Davis: Just… how am I not totally… useless... after all these years?
Tian pokes him in the head.
Tian: you are useless compared to everyone else.
Davis: wow thanks!
Tian: You still can’t even use Zen yet. But... I’m sure you have all the foundations to dive straight into hard work
Davis: Didn’t you say not to compare yourself to others?!
Tian: Well, I still taught you in the last few years. Even though you were still in a coma. I hope you can recall.
Davis: what…? How is that even possible…? Uh... I don’t remember much at all…
Everyone is speechless.
Davis: I didn’t mean to surprise everyone... I still remember some things... just not a lot...
Woody: like what...?
Davis: I recognized you, don't I?
Dennis: what about Tian?
Davis grows a bit impatient.
Davis: yes! But— what's with the teachings he's talking about? I was in a coma!
John: Master Tian can talk straight to your mind or in your case – your subconscious. He said it worked and you always reply back... He kept it up, keeping you updated on what was happening in the real world, just in case you woke up one day. But from what it looks like… I’m quite concerned… Was all that effort for nothing?
Davis: I’m taking in too much right now! Give me time, John!
John: You… know my name?
Jan: you two never met before.
Davis: Huh?
John smiles at Tian.
John: he might just need some time indeed.
Tian nods disappointedly.
Tian: you must get a hold of your surroundings soon. Prince Louis will probably be heading here in no time.
Dennis: Who?
Woody: uh…
Jan: a prince? Why?
Davis: Great, more things I have to worry about. I’m going out for a bit...
Davis abruptly leaves the room.
Jan: How rude…
Tian smiles warmly.
Tian: he’s still the same.
Dennis: Should I go after him? I bet he’ll get lost on his own
Woody: May I’ll go as well?
Tian nods and Dennis and Woody catches up to Davis.
John: Master Tian… the name ‘Louis’ does sound familiar. Who is he?
Tian: You’ve all seen him before. He’ll be here in a few days. He’s the prince of Ciro.
John: C-Ciro…?
Davis: *walking out and looks back* Why are you guys following me? I was just thinking of hanging out here in the courtyard for some fresh air.
Dennis: Sure you were.
Davis: Seven years huh…? It’s been a while since I saw you guys. Wow, you’re all different now.
Dennis: Not that different. You… still remember when we were kids?
Davis: *sighs* let's say just a bit...
Awkward silence.
Woody: Hey, remember the games we used to play?
Woody gestures them to follow and takes them to his room. Davis is astonished at the many maps rolled up in the corner and a wide one across the wall. A board game is set up on the table. Woody smiles and takes it to put on his bed. He sits on one side and Davis smiles back and sits on the other. Dennis sits down on the edge of the bed and watches.
Woody: It’s been a while since Dennis and I played. It has built dust. I hope you still remember how.
Davis: Seven years?!
Dennis: I was beginning to think you’d be stuck in a comatose forever.
John: If it wasn’t for the sorcerer’s attack, he might have been

It’s evening, the sky a bright orange.
Louis spars with another knight in the middle of the knights training grounds. Both knights are in military armor. He hits the sword out of his opponent’s hand and rests his sword next to his neck.
Louis: Thanks for sparing with me again, Ken.
Ken: Haha, no problem. You’re improving faster than ever. Keep up the good work!
The Ken nods approvingly and tosses him a drink.
Louis: I’ll be leaving now. See you tomorrow. (Improving... but not fast enough…)
Louis walks back home through the town and sees some children playing as knights, reenacting the destruction of some folktale villain on the way. They grin as they notice him and he forces himself to smile back.
Louis: (I remember when I was able to play like that... with my only friend at the time. I wonder where he is now…)
He walks into his room and drops his sword. He takes off his armor, tosses the pieces on his bed and sits in front of the window. He closes his eyes.
Louis: (Every day I have the same thoughts… it annoys me.)
Louis's silence is abruptly disturbed as someone he knew very well storms into the room.
Firen: hey!
Firen runs at him full speed, leaps over his bed, and traps him in his seat.
Louis: uh!
Firen: GUESS WHAT?!
Louis: Firen…
Freeze collectedly follows behind him and leans against Louis's chair.
Freeze: you’re early, Louis.
Louis: I thought you guys were going to the new restaurant in the other side of town without me—
Firen: Well, we’ve got news for you! After we heard about the legendary QingLong incarnation, we came straight back.
Firen's thought bubble: (Firen gasps “FREEZE!” at a small TV at bar and Freeze doesn't care one bit.)
Louis: Why…?
Freeze: Oh. Before I forget, we brought back something for you.
Freeze pulls out a plush bird and touches it to Louis's cheek.
Freeze: I hope it makes up for us planning to ditch you. (Firen actually just wanted to play an obviously rigged carnival game.)
Louis: What is this?
Firen: SO, we thought that YOU should stop acting like a knight and start acting more like a… prince!
Freeze: You should probably introduce yourself to your people now.
Louis snaps at Firen and stands.
Louis: what are you talking about? Who are you to say I’m any more ready to reveal myself as I was seven years ago?
Freeze catches his attention effortlessly.
Freeze: this is the time Master was referring to. –The time when you must act, whether you're ready or not. *pauses* QingLong made himself known, now what about you?
Louis: tsk...
Louis stares intensely at Freeze, but unable to talk back to him. He then sighs.
Firen: you should go meet him right away!
Louis: I’ll meet Tian and QingLong as a start. But I’m not going alone. …That’s an order.
