“Todos los caminos llevan a Roma. Siete veces el mismo camino te guiará hacia un mundo más allá de la imaginación” (Avantasia Parte 1)
Hoy emitimos la segunda parte de la ficción sonora Avantasia-La búsqueda de la luz a las 23h. en El Vuelo del Fénix de Radio 3 www.radio3.es Es una historia mágica, un fantástico viaje espiritual hacia el conocimiento a través de la filosofía.
El cantante de Edguy Tobias Sammet creó el proyecto paralelo a su banda Avantasia. Sus dos primeros discos fueron The metal opera Pt. I y Pt.II. El pasado diciembre en El Vuelo del Fénix de Radio 3 (de lunes a jueves a las 23h.) emitimos la ficción sonora basada en el primer disco denominando la historia "Avantasia- La búsqueda de la luz". La idea partió de nuestro compañero Juan Morello, técnico de sonido de RNE y periodista que colabora con el pájaro de fuego. Llevó a cabo la traducción de la obra de Tobias Sammet y su adaptación al radioteatro tomándose alguna licencia literaria. Los actores que interpretaron a los personajes de Avantasia fueron nuestros compañeros de los servicios informativos de RNE.
Aquí puedes escuchar la primera parte emitida el 25 de diciembre de 2014.

- GABRIEL: "Ok Father, I will do as you order ... but ... I wonder if Elsa Vogler was really possessed ... seemed rather upset about something ...
- JAKOB: "Do not think about it, no one knows what dark torment might be going under to ally with the devil ... Nobody knows now ... There is no solution ... Good luck Gabriel.

An Open Letter ... (opens it and reads) "Dear Elsa, I heard that the book was sold by him to a north trader. You have to recover it, is ours. You know what that means to us. It is our light and the light of our fellowmen. It should not fall into the wrong hands. Please traces the merchant, he will arrive at Maguncia during the summer fair ... You have to make with it. I'll meet you there. Always yours, Lugaid. "... What does this mean? Will he refer to the one of this year? A moment, just after it was when I was ordered to open the proceedings against Else Vogler ... Is it just a coincidence? ... This is complicating by moments, I'll get out of here ... I hope no one saw me come in here.

SCENE 6: PATIO MONASTERY (in the morning):

- Jakob (greets him in the back with a tap, suddenly): Gabriel, do not be scared it’s me ...
- Gabriel: "Father” (restless)
- Jakob: "Son, I want you to forgive me for my behavior yesterday in the library ... I was engrossed preparing the audience with His Holiness, Pope Clement VII in Rome ... As you know, tomorrow the delegation of the diocese of Maguncia goes to the Eternal city and I wanted to review all the case reports of Else Vogler. His Holiness has placed special interest in this case. I wanted to read that strange book for the last time before taking it to the Vatican ...readings and more readings son ...

You were alone in the library and without permission! You have broken the sacred law of this monastery. And thou hast a horrendous offense by reading the forbidden book. The perfidious soul of Satan has been carved into your hands and now you will be punished, Gabriel Laymann. Friendship doesn’t matter when a betrayal is judged. Now your site is in the bowels of Earth ...... And pray to God to forgive you and not to sentence your soul the blackness of darkness! Take him to the Tower’s dungeon!

- GABRIEL: "Shut up, for God's sake! I'm in no mood to listen to nonsense of anyone. Someone like you will never understand what is happening here!
- VANDROY: "Someone like me, haughty novice? What and who presuppose that I am?
- GABRIEL: "Having profuse beard in a dark cell does not make you look like a sage, but a beggar or a magician overcome by madness ...."
- VANDROY: "Hahahaha ... let me “his holiness "taunt your stupidity, then close to a wizard I am, and if I'm not, born in the land of Druids I were. So, your ignorance has brought you to a point closer to reality ... It's funny, right? That know means being aware of the vast territory of ignorance… hahahaha.
- GABRIEL: "Leave me alone, you do not understand."
- VANDROY: "Ahhh ... Gabriel, we will spend a long time here together. I hope we will start fast to get along, otherwise this is going to be very long.
- GABRIEL: "Wait, how do you know my name?"
- VANDROY: "Uh ... yeah ... how I do not know ... Even in the dungeons we speak of the young novice who ordered the killing of the witch ... how not to forget, Gabriel Laymann ... and if this explanation does not serve you also heard the accusation made by Fr. Jakob against you in the monastery’s courtyard, it could be heard even in a parallel world.
- GABRIEL: "EH ?? ...
- VANDROY "Hey Gabriel, do not be surprised ... What were you looking at in the library?
- GABRIEL: "A book, Mr. Wizard! What else will be otherwise?
- VANDROY: "Do not play dumb with me boy, you have much more to lose ...
- GABRIEL: "Why do you say that?
- VANDROY: "Hey, tell me !!!! How was the book that got you so nervous, friend?
- GABRIEL: "Let me go, was a broad book, very heavy, ... and a leather profuse lid with a golden triangle in the center protruding from the book ... it was weird, it was written in a foreign language ... I only understood something about" seven roads, an imaginary world ...
- VANDROY: "... All roads lead to Rome ... but 7 times the same path will lead you to a world beyond imagination. Yes, I know. I've heard of it …"
- GABRIEL: "... And I, when I was little. My sister Anna always recite me this phrase before she read me right before falling asleep and now that phrase, in this book, has led the soul of Else Vogler into the domains of the devil and my own sister, Anna Held, to be accused of witchcraft ... it cannot be! Anna is not a witch ... I do not know what has that book but I swear that Anna is not a witch ... And now, from here, I cannot help her...
- VANDROY: "The Pope has echoed of the matter? Come on boy, we gotta get out of here "
- GABRIEL: "Yes old, the book is poised to Rome ... and why do I care? My sister is about to be burned at the stake and you worry whether your holiness has learned from the implementation of ... A WITCH? "

- Bishop Bicken: (wrong format disgusting) "Falk, you are as shallow as good obedient Sheriff ... but in the realm of thought you have less light than a pirate ship ..."
- Sheriff FALK :"( growls) ... Bishop Bicken, what's gotten into him?"
- Bishop Bicken: "I worry about the insistence of the pope to have that book ... I suspect it's the only thing that really matters, not our purifiers merits ..."
- Sheriff FALK: "What has the yellow cloth that seduces you all?"
- Bishop Bicken: "No one knows, but everyone suspects it is the key to maximum illumination ... the way to the lord ... (absolute power) ..."
- Sheriff FALK: "You, the bishop, live in another world ... no one understands you ...."
- Obipo Bicken: "You do not understand anything! That devil machine is the printer that is approaching the forgotten pagan culture to men and they are losing their faith in the Holy Church and its writings ... Anyone can now write and edit what they please without any control speeding the Malignant work of getting us away from God ... We are losing the battle with Satan and that book, if the prophecy is true, it can govern our destinies according to the will of the Lord ... that book, sheriff, is the absolute power! ...”
- Sheriff FALK: "Absolute power ... sounds good ... The bishop fears the Pope dominates the Church at his will? ..."
- Bishop Bicken: "The bishop fears that the pope reigns in the Church, in this world and in the other ..."
- Sheriff FALK: "How in the other world? Jummm !!! Now the Pope wants to reign in hell too ... look at it !!! ??? "

He will not suspect of you, as he rears his arm with the bread you will catch him hard. Hold him as if the life of your dear Anne depended on it...
- GABRIEL: "Eh ??!! Are you crazy, Druid ???!!!!
- VANDROY: "Shut Up! My name is VANDROY !! I'll manage to take the keys to get us out of this cave ... clear?
- GABRIEL: (aware that he is going to break the law ...) "clear!"
- VANDROY: "Chissss ... .Let’s go, here comes!"

SCENE 10: ROME, VATICAN (Vatican delegation, Pope, Bishop Bicken, Sheriff Falk)
City effect, carriages, Swiss guard (hits as they stand at attention) .... Camerlengo ...
- CAMERLENGO: "Bishop von Bicken Sheriff of Maguncia and others .... Please kindly accompany me. Pope Clement VIII will receive you an hour after the last Mass in the afternoon, as it was told. How was the trip?
- BISHOP Bicken: "The belief in the Lord has made us to be patient, another thing is that patience is a virtue that is acquired as time passes ..."
- CAMERLENGO: "I understand, it may be that your company will not have enlivened you the journey?"
- BISHOP Bicken: "Cameeeeeerleeennngoooo ... As you know, the issue that brings us here would require a lifetime devoted to reflection ...
- CAMERLENGO: "And I suppose that the case that made you reflect have been brought immaculate, isn’t that truth Bishop??? Please Johann do not make me ask you ...
- BISHOP Bicken: "Take, I trust that it will arrive into the hands of His Holiness as I give it.”
- CAMERLENGO: "Bad reputation we have the occupants of this post outside the Vatican, but here, I remind you that the Camerlengo are the eyes, hands and mouth of who reigns on earth ... Your secret is our secret, and all you get you've to share. Do not forget, bishop. No crave more than that to which it can aspire ... See you at the dinner my dear guests "
- BISHOP: "Until dinner, host ...
SCENE 11. CONVERSATION LUGAID-GABRIEL (panting, running… litter.. they stop ...)
- GABRIEL: "Stop Vandroy!!! We can not keep running away from the city. We must return to Maguncia. I have to take Anne out of cell ...
- LUGAID: Don’t be dumb Gabriel, at this time, even the garrison of the Emperor will be looking for you to take you into the heart of darkness ... Where neither the filth that surrounds Anne may feed on your dead body ...
- GABRIEL: Old man, you do not understand !!!!! Anne is my sister, I haven’t see her in 10 years ... I remember like it was yesterday when we parted. It is like a canvas retained in a moment in time that incites my imagination when I think about it ... It's a vast, intense love, growing from the hand of time ... It seemed that this could not stop ... until my father decided to take me to the Dominicans ... And today this novice Vandroy, has so dry and sad heart that he will not relent in the effort to rescue Anne, my sister ...
- LUGAID: Whoever does not understand what's happening here is you, young apprentice of anything ...Have you ever thought about why your father took you to the monastery? ... You think, really, young novice, the love you feel for Anne is the love between siblings? ... ..While your friend Jakob and Bishop are pending in that book, Anne is safe ... There will not be process ... they should keep her alive ...
- GABRIEL: But what are you saying?
- LUGAID: The book that robbed Else Vogler and Anne certainly knew is in fact a door to another world, Gabriel ... And that's what concerns us now, novice! The book that the Pope has now is a double-edged sword. It is the entrance to a spiritual and luminous world, transcendence that appealed to the sages in ancient times, is the resting place of our soul. No wandering bodies and souls wandering, Avantasia is the place where the beautiful in humanity lies ... But the world responds to whom and for what reasons go inside, so it's a double-edged sword ... It is a source of wisdom, and should be transmitted by teaching and civilization but in the power of the Church doors will be closed forever. They monopolize its use, block its way, Avantasia will be forgotten and humanity will descend into the obtuse darkness of ignorance ... You know well who is the bishop Bicken, murderer of women, his acolyte the cruel Sheriff and Pope Clement VIII ... what a paradox, Clemente ... His mission is not to find the truth, Gabriel, they want to use the power of another world to enslave humanity. It will be the end of freedom!
- GABRIEL: The Holy Father? Does he also knows the secret?
- LUGAID: Sometimes I doubt if you are naive or stupid, boy ... Of course he knows. He is the one who has sent apprehend Else Vogler and his daughter to steal the book. He already owns the other 6 books and looks forward for the bishop to deliver the 7th ... "All roads lead to Rome ... Remember what your sister recite, Gabriel? .... Departed 10 days ago. Should already be in Rome ... we have to reach them, Gabriel. Let's see ... There's only one solution ....
- GABRIEL: Wait, old Vandroy! Ehh eh (stammers) Else Vogler had a daughter? Why have you talked about my father? And Anne, why do you pronounce her words?
- LUGAID: Shut up !!
SCENE 12. POPE CLEMENT VIII, BISHOP von Bicken (dinner scene)
- POPE CLEMENT: "Please take a seat ... Sorry to keep you waiting but there are many issues that demand my attention ... these turbulent times. I hope your trip was of your delight and that the Emperor's troops have escorted you properly ... friends are an asset that we must preserve and love, isn’t that truth Bishop von Bicken? "
- BISHOP: "That’s right, Holy Father."
- POPE CLEMENT: "Then, why did you resisted to give me the book, Bishop? You know the powers of every Camerlengo, needless to remember them ... "
- BISHOP: "No Father, there was no resistance, just waiting to give it in person. I was surprised at the request of the prelade. "
- POPE CLEMENT: "Dear friend, now is not the time to think about internal key. I know your ambitions, Cardinal Johann von Bicken. Someday you will be the successor of Peter, do not hesitate ... In fact I'm already ordering personally for that to happen ... you understand bishop?
- BISHOP: "Thank you, Your Holiness ..."
- POPE CLEMENT: "But to make this happen you must serve me well ...you are going through the paths of the Lord with me. You will take me to him, you will come with me ... And feel privileged, Johann.
- BISHOP: "Father? What are you talking about?
- POPE CLEMENT, "Bishop Bicken, the book you had in your hands is the last of the seven parts of a seal, required to access a parallel, spiritual and luminous world called Avantasia. According to prophecy, those who bear the stamp of the 7 sacred books of illumination to the center of Avantasia will reach wisdom, enlightenment and the supreme truth. You know what that means, bishop?
- BISHOP: "Holy Father, explain it!
- POPE CLEMENT: "Wisdom, supreme enlightenment and truth come together in a single vertex, which is Almighty God. Bring all 7 books to Avantasia is to renew the covenant with our Lord. Like Moses, Johann von Bicken ... done to rule Earth in his name. The maximum illumination is the supreme power, bishop. The supreme power.
- BISHOP BICKEN: "And how will we get to Avantasia, Holy Father?
- POPE CLEMENT: "Leave it in my hands. Tomorrow at dawn introduce yourself here with your sheriff. You will come with me and my guard.
OFF: At dawn, on the suburbs of Maguncia
SCENE 13: GABRIEL CUTS
- LUGAID: "Gabriel, Gabriel wakes ... Let’s go novice ... I have not hit so hard ... Let’s go guy!
- GABRIEL: (Stunned ... ..) eh eh ... What happened ?! Where am I?
- LUGAID: "Quiet, you're safe with me ... you've only been ... mmm ... sleeping for a while ... Assimilating this much information (funny mood)
- GABRIEL: "Ahhhh! My head hurts!”
- LUGAID: "That happen because you asked the questions that you should not, fool !!!
- GABRIEL: "Why this so verbal aggression?”
- LUGAID: "If you knew .... Let it go Gabriel, something is wrong ... Can’t you tell?
- GABRIEL: "I do not know what you're talking about, Druid ... Did you have something of yours for breakfast?”
- LUGAID: "Today the sky has another color, is more subdued than usual, the birdsong is more serious ... Smell the forest, feel it Gabriel ... Don’t you perceive anything strange?”
- GABRIEL: "No Vandroy, but ..."
- LUGAID: "What little spirituality the religious has ... you have lost much time in the monastery ....”
- ELDERANE: (VOICE from beyond) "Who are wasting time in dialectical games is my old friend the druid Vandroy ...
- LUGAID: "Wait, Gabriel ...That voice! Oh yeah! Elllllllllllllderaneeee !!! Old friend .... But….How ????”
- ELDERANE: "Leave the kid alone and act in haste. Pope Clement and his ecclesiastical entourage head towards Avantasia. They must be stopped and only the boy can do it.”
- LUGAID: "Wait a minute! How is it possible? How you broke through the door?”
- ELDERANE: "Every second I talk to you decades of my life are lost, so listen well and executed my orders. We have no time, Vandroy. The eternal beauty of Avantasia and life on Earth are in danger. You have to transcend Gabriel to Avantasia. Head over to the tree that there is behind you. The wider of the two ..Get into its cavity, is the intersection between the two worlds. Is enough stunned to achieve the balance that makes crossing the threshold ...
- LUGAID: "It is impossible!? Eldeerane, the boy is not ready yet!”
- GABRIEL: "What is that voice? Is that a trick, druid? "
- LUGAID: "Hush boy!"
- ELDERANE: "Trust him, eventually, he will know how. He will succeed. Just get him to focus on his love for Anne. It is pure and intense enough. You got it that way ... or is that Else and Anne are so different?”
- LUGAID: "But Elderane..."
- ELDERANE: "So .... Eventually, lend him your necklace, belongs to Avantasia ... we will use it to recognize his soul and reincarnate him in a body that will ensure the recovery of the book. With its new look ... no one will doubt him. Haste Lugaid, eternity can not wait. "
- LUGAID: "Yes, old friend, but wait a moment ... When inside, allow me to communicate with him. Only through you I could.”
- ELDERANE: "I hope that's not necessary."
(Elderane voice fades)
OFF: Meanwhile, in the Catacombs of Rome)
SCENE 14: THE MINSTER enters AVANTASIA:
- POPE CLEMENT: "Ready Bishop Johann von Bicken to make history? A new alliance with our Almighty Lord will be sealed to unite heaven and earth with all its power ... Nervous, bishop?
- BISHOP BICKEN: "Are you sure, Holy Father, Jesus and Peter's successor on the throne that will happen what you presuppose?"
- POPE CLEMENT: "Would perceive the fear of the bishop of Maguncia even though we were not in the sewers of Rome... Caaaaaaaaaaaaamerlengo, the book please!”
- CAMERLENGO: "Here is it, Father."
- POPE CLEMENT: "The infinite power of God penetrates the heart of the Church to rule the Earth as an extension of heaven ... Let us enter into the ways of the Lord".
SCENE 15: GABRIEL in AVANTASIA:
- LUGAID: "Gabriel! You've heard the potentate Elderane, governor of Sensidbana and spiritual leader of Avantasia. You have to transcend to Earth and penetrate Avantasia to retrieve the book ..”
- GABRIEL: "But, I? How to transcend?”
- LUGAID: "It's what you've been looking for all your life ...why, if not, pray a lot, be in communion with nature and seek purity of spirit? If you have lived along these lines, it's time to see the results ...”
- GABRIEL: "I do not know if I can, Vandroy ... Lately I just raging fears and not glimpse a ray of light in this story. I do not understand what I'm doing here and why I'm not looking for my sister ... I am playing heroes and she is suffering in prison ... "
- LUGAID: "The love you feel for Anne is the means to enter Avantasia, Gabriel. You know that your love for her breaks the borders of your own family and you do not know why. Let it flow, only in that way you will understand. Anne's fate is closely linked to Avantasia and therefore you. Wear this necklace, lie, focus on Anne all the intensity of your love and see ... You'll make it, I also got it that way.”
- GABRIEL: But if you get it once, why you can not return you to Avantasia and save the world?”
- LUGAID: Because the beauty of my love died with her at the stake. And the guilty will now be in Avantasia. Even you, novice ... (crappy emphasis) ... The death of Else Vogler inoculated the poison of hatred in my heart. Your desire to save her, is our only hope.”
- GABRIEL: Else Vogler was your wife? Then??? I? !!! Ehhh That's impossible ... !!!! You are lying!”
- LUGAID: Gabriel, listen to your heart ... Now is not the time for recriminations, we will making accounts you and me ... !! Think of Anne ... everything is in your intuition ... Relax…, think of Anne. I will ensure your body in Earth ... Free your soul through your love ......
(Transition to Avantasia...)
- REGRIN: "Welcome Gabriel .... Here, yeah !! I'm here ... .open your eyes ...”
- GABRIEL: "Who speaks to me? Is that you?”
- REGRIN: "Not here! The one who you are point out is you, Gabriel. It's your new body. Your soul came into Avantasia and we gave you this body. You feel lighter, right?”
- GABRIEL: "This is ... is ... I do not recognize myself... I feel light ... and ah (attached) this ear! These ears ... am I now an elf? "
- ELDERANE: "That’s right Gabriel. I introduce myself, I am Elderane, you know my voice. Do not fear for your new body, has not spent his life praying. It will serve you well. I introduce you to Regrin. He will guide you through Avantasia to the Tower Avantasia. Friends of faith are already close. You must avoid to shed the label to the domains of the Tower. Take advantage of your new look, nobody will suspect you. Grab the seal! Run, you have no time to lose! Go to the Tower!”
- REGRIN: "Let’s go Gabriel, this way ...."

- GABRIEL: And why me, Regrin?”
- REGRIN: "You have been chosen, Gabriel! We, the avantasians are not allowed to fight or meddling in the affairs of men.”
- GABRIEL: Me the chosen one?”
- REGRIN: "Your mind woke up on time and was not carried away by the blood lust that dominates those who pray to the Lord. You decided to welcome you to the path of philosophy and we knew it through Vandroy ... He was always very close to you ... even though you condemn the love of his life to the stake!”
- GABRIEL: "Nooo! So it is true?! How is that possible?! He will never forgive me and even though he still help save Anne ...”
- REGRIN: "Now is time for action, not thinking! Run, you have to recover the seal to save us ... .and you!”
SCENE 18: THE TOWER:

According to prophecy what is in there is the source of all divine wisdom and, therefore, the essence of our almighty lord. Thus it is written in the 7 books that guard the way to Avantasia, the world of light. And we are here because his voice has guided us from the darkness of Rome. It's time to seal the covenant with our almighty lord .... It's time to unleash the power of their being involved ...”
- THE VOICE: "At last you have come to me. After a long journey through time now you present to reimburse the 7 parts of the stamp consummate our covenant. To do this you must throw the books on the walls that you have in front of you. "
- POPE CLEMENT, "Bishop Bicken! To me those books! "
- BISHOP BICKEN: "The books, hand them over to the Holy Father!”
(Entourage moves chest) ....
- REGRIN: "Oh no! They are already delivering the seal! Run Gabriel. It's time. The future of civilization is in your hands. You must take possession of at least the 7th seal! Remember that you possess the body of an elf ... You can do it, Gabriel! Come on!”
- GABRIEL: "Meet me where you found me, I will return to the book."”
(Fx leaving in silence)
- POPE CLEMENT: "... I give you the sixth, sir ...”
- THE VOICE: "Now throw the last. Sheds on the walls the 7th seal, the eternal covenant of light !!!!!! Do not waste time! Throw it now!”
- POPE CLEMENT: "Yes, but Father ... What about the prophecy? What about your reward: the supreme enlightenment, knowledge and the power to defend your kingdom on earth with an iron fist? What about the prophecy of absolute power?”
- THE VOICE: "Throw the seallllllll"
- GABRIEL: "Nooooooo ...That book does not belong to you !! You are making a mistake!
- POPE CLEMENT: "The seal !!! He stole the seal! Guards! Catch him !!!”
- THE VOICE: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!. To me the seal! I command you retrieve the seal for me! Whoe to you who came to for wisdom ... Wretched you searching for the light! Give back what's mine or you'll end up burning tonight!”
- REGRIN: "Let’s go Gabriel, we're almost safe ....”
- GABRIEL: "Regrin! We succeeded! I have the seal! I've fulfilled my end of the bargain. Now I return to Earth to search for Anne...”
- REGRIN: "I'm afraid not, you hear that? Just release the angels that guard the books. 6 of them will chase us until they get the last seal. For now we will take refuge in the house of Elderane in Sensidbana, the capital of Avantasia. There we will be safe ... for now ...”
SCENE 19: ELDERANE-LUGAID:
- LUGAID: "Elderane! I am Lugaid! Why have you lied to me? Why did not you tell me he's back? Elderaaaaaane! We carried Gabriel to the very gates of hell. Freedom of Anne is delayed ... He is my last hope to rest in peace...
- ELDERANE: "Old Lugaid, tell the truth would have been counterproductive ... This story is not over yet ... The 7 Angels will be released soon, 6 will try to destroy us to retrieve the seal, but without the 7th their forces will be depleted ... They should not find it. The secret must remain hidden, thats why Gabriel should not abandon Avantasia. Take good care of your body, Lugaid. Everything is playing ...."

AVANTASIA: REACH OUT FOR THE LIGHT, PART II
ESC 1: The Jakob’s plot.
OFF: Undercity dungeon of the monastery of the Dominican monks of Maguncia. May 1602 A.D. Hours before the novice of the order, Gabriel Laymann, was jailed accused of reading the book forbidden by the Holy Law of the Monastery.
- JAKOB: "Jailer, come ...I do not want to speak up, I want to make sure what they'll ask to be heard only by your tiny ears ..."
- JAILER: "Father Jakob, I'm small but my ear is sharp ... tell me" (approaching)
- JAKOB: "Just as well. Tomorrow will have a new tenant into thy chambers desolate ... Someone has contravened the rules of this monastery and you will pay with a stay at your domains. Thus it is written, and thus should be ...”
- JAILER: "That's nothing new ... Why have you made me come then?"
- JAKOB: "(Good), I want that new inmate, Gabriel Laymann, be deprived of his liberty in the same cell as the Druid."
- JAILER: "Impossible! It is an express order of the bishop of Maguncia, Johann Von Bicken the Druid who speak remain isolated in his cell. "
- JAKOB: "Listen, jailer ... You depend on me here. Without my permission you have no choice to leave the darkness of your dungeon. Your cries, by sharp they are, can not penetrate the walls of the monastery ...
- JAILER: "Grrrrrrr ... I never thought that a monk could be a tyrant ..."
- JAKOB: "You're not in a position of strength, Jailer. In addition, your conduct is equally spurious ... just based on this. Accept my generosity and proceed with cunning; (take money) not only want to share Druid Gabriel and loneliness, I know you try to flee and you have to make it easy.”
- JAILER: "But how?
- JAKOB: Be lenient with the boy, the wily Druid will use it to devise a plan. You let yourself go and nobody suspected. Do you understand ?, if this just as I expected, have a greater reward ...”
- JAILER: "That Druid is too old to flee, Jacob. It will not, their behavior is outstanding ... why run? "
- JAKOB: "That Druid, Jailer, is a shadow wandering round the monastery in a while ... The first time I saw him was when the novice that I will bring you tomorrow, joined the Dominica Order ... Right after his father handed us when still a child, Gabriel Laymann appeared ... and here follows since ... I do not know why no connection between them but I guess that will guide me towards solving this puzzling maze ... I have to follow his footsteps ....
- JAILER: "I do not sell for a handful of coins, father Jakob. My mission is to illuminate the darkness. "
- JAKOB: "Do not say nonsense, Jailer.You are a man of weak mind. It acts as the Lord wishes and have another life to preach strength, and honor ...... hahaha. "
- JAILER: "If my soul is burned which I will resurge phoenix from my ashes ..."
- JAKOB: jajajajjajajajajaa. Do what I ask for the love of God ... and see that no one suspected.

The books were distributed to 7 sages, the first 7 beings created in Avantasia, who in their efforts to keep the seals ... were aided by seven angels which kept them ... The Angels, legendary spirits who planted Avantasia lucid, built the seven gates formed the bridge between Earth and Avantasia. The doors have worked -during thousands of years as transmission channels of beauty and knowledge that balanced the negative influence of the natural laws of creation. But the doors would only be traveled by those who held the majority of the 3 pure essences ... Then life began on Earth and, with life, hope to improve the world with the power of pure essences that are Avantasia, knowledge , kindness and willingness ...
With the emergence of human beings on the face of the Earth, the destiny of humanity and Avantasia joined inexorably ...

Jakob needs my help ... I've seen goodness in those murky waters ... He is not a traitor ... is despair, are similar factions which had during the trial Vogler Elsa ... Elsa and Lugaid! Lugaaaaaaaaaaaaaid !!!
- GABRIEL: Elderane !!!! I have to talk to Lugaiiiiiiiiiiiiid! I have to go back ... !!!
- ELDERANE: You forget too soon your friend Jakob, Gabriel. Not appear to have understood the meaning of the views of the lake ... Make up your mind already!
- GABRIEL: Ehhhhh, yes! Jacob, yes! What, what happened to me?
- ELDERANE: Is the power of the Tower ... try to confuse to dissuade ...
- GABRIEL: Yes, I see something dark in this wasteland that clouds my judgment, Elderane. When I think I understand what happens here, I instantly feel in an ocean of ignorance ...
- ELDERANE: I feared Gabriel, your kindness is your worst enemy. The evil that lurks in the Tower does not want you to fight for free your friend prefers you to focus on your feelings ... that lead you inexorably ... Ana ... Your weakness is your victory.
- GABRIEL: Yes, hopefully someday forgive me for taking so long but ... if I return to rescue Ana will act to satisfy me, not because of the goodness ... So tell me how to help Jacob, Elderane!
- ELDERANE: I hope not mistaken you, Gabriel. What I'll never reveal it I told Lugaid, he does not have that selfless determination that resides in you, Gabriel. The Jacob you saw at the lake lives. Your soul is kidnapped in the catacombs of the Tower. In one room, protected by an untamed beast, a chalice where reside the souls that have been captured by the evil of the Tower is. She seduces who, at some point in their lives, they made the mistake of being overcome by the difficulties of this mysterious life. La Torre is fed from the ashes of the fallen to expand its power with fatal vehemently ... Humans are branches (stubble) that life nourish dry thirst for death ... Only someone pure, full of life and goodness may have convinced him front and (pour the cup) free the soul of his fellow ...
- GABRIEL: It's, you tell me this amazing Elderane, but it makes sense ...
- ELDERANE: Remember that both goodness and evil act of mimesis ... Kindness is not granted because the giver feels powerful and vanity is their misery. If you grant Gabriel, you who will end up in that chalice. Do the right thing and have faith that others will emulate. That is to display a path. That's Avantasia.
- GABRIEL: When you return, Elderane, you will tell me this wonderful story from beginning to end.
- ELDERANE: Sea Regin.! Follow him.
- REGIN: Yes, Lord! (No praise, with conviction)
- GABRIEL: Regin !! But perhaps dangerous ...
- REGIN: Gabriel, you're just a beautiful soul, not a Titan. You'll need help. Follow Me!
- GABRIEL: hehehehe yeah ... .Let!
- REGIN: And fast! An hour here on Earth are 24 ... that’s why the avantasians live much, my friend.
- GABRIEL: What ???? But it has not been much, no?
- REGIN: More what remains ... The right time for the messengers of evil can wreak havoc on Earth ...
- GABRIEL: hmm, who? ....
ESC 15:
OFF: Around the Dominican Monastery of Monks of Maguncia ...
- JAKOB: My Guard lost them through this forest. They were combing the area for days and found no trace of them ... as if they had faded into the mist.
- CAMERLENGO: Go go ... you telling me that the novice and his guardian angel are gone, are they just disappeared ???
- JAKOB: What you said ....
- CAMERLENGO: (proud) volatilized, Jakob! I volatilized!
- JAKOB: No, just that, no ...
- CAMERLENGO: So what?!! Say it!!
- JAKOB: Ehhhh ... .
- CAMERLENGO: Run, they have already arrived. There is no time. We must interrogate the girl before them.
- JAKOB: Yes ...
ESC 16: The Chalice of Agony.
OFF: Deep in the Tower ...
- REGIN: Gabriel is here.
- GABRIEL: This place is disturbing ... seems strangely quiet. Do not know why I have to face me in there but I am determined to carry it out.
- REGIN: Gabriel, you have to be very careful and ... let nothing come out in there unless you turn around the cup. Evil must remain locked; whether it would doom ... That means that if something happened, I would close the door from outside and would stay trapped forever. Now you depend Vandroy care ... without it your body would explode in hours. Gabriel Laymann disappear in both worlds and your legacy in this life would be reduced to a fairy crib ...
- GABRIEL: I appreciate your concern, but I'd appreciate Regin you left that fateful tone of poetic prose and give me encouragement. You are a peculiar kind, Regin. It would be a shame to fail and stop listening to your warnings ...
- REGIN: Pour the wine from the chalice and releases the damned souls ... I advise him.
ESC 17: The Neglect of Lugaid ...
- LUGAID: "That's Regin, a little kindness always helps to get the win"
- GABRIEL: "If the illustrious Lugaid Vandroy! Long time no hear your voice! You'll be taking good care of me, eh ???
- LUGAID: Absolutely boy! Come on, you're the chosen one, Gabriel. You'll get it.
- GABRIEL: My heart tells me this is going to end well, see you soon, man !!! "
- LUGAID: So long, boy!
- MILITARY: One moment, you heard that voice ...? Come from ...
- LUGAID: Oh nooo ...
- MILITARY: Hey you ??? !!!! What are you doing?
- LUGAID: Ehhhh, where, I missed .... You know how you get to ... ???
- MILITARY: Is it the druid that Bishop commanded to jail the day they arrested the Witch !!! Come over here !!! Come on, when Bishop and the officer you see, we are licensed jejejejeje
- MILITARY B: Neither you say it, a big booty ...
- LUGAID: "Elderane, I made a terrible mistake ... they caught me and have acted as you indicated me ..."
- ELDERANE: Damn, Lugaiiiiiiiiiiiiid !!!!! Now the chance is the owner of destiny ...
- MILITARY A: this witch speaks alone ...
ESC 18: The liberation of souls.
- GABRIEL: Regin, is the time! Open the door ...
- REGIN: As you command ...
- GABRIEL: What imagined, evil is so cowardly that always hurts in the back when you least expect it ... There is no beasts ...
- REGIN: Do not trust, Gabriel ...
- GABRIEL: (The Chalice, there is !!!
- REGIN: Good luck ....
- GABRIEL: Light is my guide, light is my guide ... the light is my guide There is nothing, guide me light. That frees me from evil ... The light is my guide ... Arrrrrrrrrrrrrgghhh, arrrghhhh, come on! A little further (in crescendo the guttural sounds) Light is my guide ...) I symbolize the light .... Arrrrrrghhhhh !!!!
Let’s go! Come here and you'll be free again ....

- CAMERLENGO: Gabriel will not return, young lady. He fled. He ran ... Now let's focus ... What you know Elsa Voggler ???
- JAKOB:... grrrr ... .ehhhh falls to the ground .... Arrrrgggghhhhhhhh ... what happens to me ???? Ahhhh ...
- CAMERLENGO: Oh wow ... what happens now to our dear friend???
- SHERIFF: Holy Father, Bishop! This is ...
- POPE CLEMENT: Inconceivable!
- BISHOP BICKEN: jjajajaja ... but look who joined us ... Camerlengo and ... Jaaaaaaaaaaaaakob ... .. !!!! What have you done, viper ???
- CAMERLENGO: I ignore it, he was troubled suddenly ...
- SHERIFF: What we're going, we do not care. Get out of here (grabs sword, fx metal). She is our ...

ESC 21: The Resurrection of Jacob.
- SHERIFF: Give me that key, Camerlengo!
- CAMERLENGO: That not even dream, filthy vermin!
- POPE CLEMENT: Camerlengo, you're in no position to demand anything. Be careful as you have always been. I understand you want to be you who signed the covenant with Almighty God ... But that only belongs to the Pope, dear friend ... Sheriff.... Delete it
- SHERIFF: Yes, Your Holiness!
- JAKOB: Nooooooooooo !!!!!!!!! He pushes and thrusts the sword !!
- POPE CLEMENT: Inconceivable !!! Fray Jacob has been redone and killed the sheriff (disbeliever)
- LUGAID: The curse finally claimed his reward ... "you will see the blood spurt out of thy bowels ... I swear." Dear Elsssssssssssssa ...
- SHERIFF: Arggghhhh predicted that witch ...
- BISHOP: Falkkkkk...
- JAKOB: (Picks key Camarlllllllllllllengo and frees Ana sword in hand .. This is over. Ana is not going anywhere ... Enough of blood.
- BISHOP: But Jakob !!! She has the answers we seek.
- JAKOB: this madness, Johann von Biiiiicken is over. Or do you prefer threading you like your arrogant acolyte???

- LUGAID: jjajajaja ... yes, it's over. ¿But, how it happened? It is ...
- ELDERANE: Lend your voice, Lugaid! I relate what happened ...
- LUGAID: Elderane, how no friend! My air is your voice ... The young novice Laymann Gabriel has beaten your God ... The Tower that dominates Avantasia no longer hides no evil ... Gabriel has beaten your God with the same weapons as you atribuitted to him... goodness , determination and generosity ... has won this game by putting their faith in the values they believed correct, not in the name of God. The man grew to God based on fear, and the value of seeking truth has defeated ... though it cost him his life ...
- ANA: Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo !!!!!!! Gabriel !!! Nooooooo .... It can not be !!!!! Gabriel, you have to be alive !!!!!

- ANA: I understand ...
- JAKOB: Sure ... he, his soul is
- LUGAID: Yes, scoundrel ...
- JAKOB: I'm sorry, I hope someday you can forgive me for what I did to your wife ...
- LUGAID: I doubt you can get to forgive ... but I do not avenge for it ...
- JAKOB: I wish I could thank Gabriel for saving me.
- ANA: If Brother Jakob, I'll give it ... Soon! I have no choice ...
- LUGAID: Ana Nooo !!! Do not do that !!!!! Ana, my daughter, please ... Think ... Do not ...
- ANA: no longer makes sense to be here longer ... It's time to return
ESC 22: The appearance.
OFF: 7 months later ...
- LUGAID: On second thought, it's over as planned. The world is safe from evil, the doors to Avantasia still open ... and books at home Elderane, governor of Sensidbana and spiritual leader of Avantasia ... I must admit that the Elderane’s plan out was not bad at all ...
- ELSA: And that I had my doubts. My father is very smart but somewhat reckless ... Gabriel's soul is in Avantasia but Regin is irremediable loss ... He was her best friend, that pain will bring with him all his life.
- LUGAID: Been a long time coming, dear Elsa ... I thought you were going to change to another ... I see ... more ...
- ELSA: Bella perhaps? Do not be a fool, Lugaid ... At this point in life that counts is on the inside ...
- LUGAID: You have chosen a good body in which reincarnate your soul ... The avantasians not fail to amaze me ... (turning) ... Oh! Avantasians ... Ana ... How little she enjoyed ...
- ELSA: Our daughter will be fine with Gabriel ... eternity is on her side .... But life ... dear Lugaid ... is for us ... .. !!!!!
EPILOGUE: (all)
Before our consciousness awakens, the survival instinct forces us to discover the world around. That vital instinct of knowledge is innate to humans. It does not disappear, it just slows.
The dogma of faith is a brake that quenches the thirst for discovering the world giving us answers that hide dark motivations.
A Quixotic attitude of letting knowledge instinct flow is to reach out for the light. Enter Avantasia is a travel on a rough, steep, sometimes tedious but rewarding luminous path.
Discovering that path is based on doubting about everything. The will to discover that path is to set aside the assumptions made to free us from our conformism.
Philosophy is an attitude, not a discipline. It is the art of questioning adequately the world around us in order to find the right answers.
