Eight years after the birth of her son and heir, Prince Eric de
Valdavia, Angilia's life continues down the path which God destined
her to tread. The 40 years which follow are filled with the heights
and depths of joy and sorrow. Many of their family members and
friends die. Prince Eric grows to manhood and finds his true love,
only to experience a tragedy that mirrors the one suffered by his
beloved grandfather many decades earlier. Alongside her cherished
father, King Eric de Valdavia, Angilia co-reigns as the first
hereditary Queen de Valdavia in the nation's history. Together,
they lead with compassion, always guided by prayer. Their love of
God, family, and all people inspire many, especially Prince Eric,
the boy predestined to become King Eric II de Valdavia. Queen
Angilia's and King Eric's love, faith, and benevolence remain their
greatest assets, and the legacy which they leave to Prince Eric and
his children. Thus will the blessed Kingdom of Valdavia remain the
beneficiary well into the 22nd century.
Throughout his brief, tumultuous life, Percy Bysshe Shelley, the
self-proclaimed rebellious bad boy of the early 19th Century,
sought perfection. Shelley desired perfection in government, in
organized religion, in society, in himself, and in his wives. The
idealism which guided him also blinded the young poet to the truth
that perfection is perhaps the most impossible achievement for any
human being. Shelley's reluctance to accept this truth caused him
to suffer perpetual disappointment and frustration. This
examination explores Shelley's search for perfection, the literary
works influenced by this quest, and the effects on his beliefs and
personal life.
Four years after nearly dying to save her beloved father, King Eric
de Valdavia, from an assassin's bullets, Princess Consort Angilia's
happiness culminates in a majestic, romantic Royal Wedding. In the
five years that follow, Angilia and her family share not only love,
joy, and blessings but deaths, birth, and near-tragedy yet again.
How they each deal with, accept, and learn from each moment shapes
them individually and steers their collective future. Despite their
fame and wealth, Eric, Angilia, their family members, and their
friends experience the breadth and depth of life's moments and
emotions as we all must. They understand that wealth and fame truly
do not buy happiness, salvation, or peace, but that those most
cherished of life's riches must come from within each of them.
Their love for one another continues to increase and strengthen
each day, but they know that God remains foremost in their lives
and hearts above all others. Despite the tragedies and losses they
have faced and will face, they know that God's will is at work
every moment, and their strongest desire is to do God's will and to
fulfill whatever His ultimate plan is for each of them. Eric and
Angilia continue to shepherd their country, its citizens, and their
family as the tumultuous 21st century forges onward, all the while
maintaining their love, faith, and hope.
Angilia is the beloved daughter and heir of King Eric de Valdavia.
Valdavia remains a peaceful country bordering the Mediterranean
Sea, where Eric has reigned for 20 years. In 2012, 16-year-old
Angilia's peace is shattered when her deepest life-long fear comes
true. Near-tragedy strikes her and her father, shaking both of them
off of their foundations. Angilia knows that someone cruelly
intends to alter Eric's destiny, and she holds tight to information
that she believes could prove fatal to her father. Determined to
protect him at all costs to herself, Angilia relies on her faith in
God for her strength and courage. After the truth behind the
near-tragedy is unexpectedly revealed, Eric and Angilia come to
terms with what happened and deepen their already strong love,
bond, and openness to face the future with unwavering joy, hope,
and faith.
This Mystery Play relays the message which the Bible, and each of
the other sources, carry: that Mary Magdalene was a converted
sinner; that she was a woman in (spiritual) love with her Lord;
that she was a woman who understood, more so than did the
disciples, that Jesus was indeed the Messiah and what that truly
meant; and that she remembered and understood His words to them
concerning the Resurrection. Therefore, she was rewarded by being
the first person to be visited by the risen Christ. The disciples,
when told of her encounter, largely doubt her claims; only when
Christ appears to them, and they see Him for themselves, do they
believe in the Resurrection. It is then, too, that they realize
that Mary Magdalene had, indeed, been correct.
