As She Commands

A “Lux Productions” FILM
WRITTEN BY Storm Ryder

This house is a cottage, and it lies next to a sea of great beauty. It sits here in solitude, but is not lonely, for a young family lives here. They fish, sunbathe and laugh during the day and are warm at night, each divulging in stories of their favorite heroes or heroines, Gods or Goddesses next to the fireplace or if the stars are out, next to the raging bonfire. Everything is calm, and it is meant to be… At least that’s what was intended, until the birth of their next daughter.

Nyx Priest is a less-than-sophisticated young girl who has been raised by her doting uncle who has cared for her since she was born. He has raised her as if she was his own and has taught her like she was a son. Nyx knows how to fight and defend for herself, and has a wealth of intelligence and beauty. Her uncle is petrified that her beauty would affect people of society, so therefore she lacks connection and understanding with her fellow peers, but she doesn't mind since the company of her uncle is enough. However, as her uncle dwindles further into paranoia and delusional behavior, Nyx feels emotionally empty of compassion and love. However, she lacks the capability of interaction with anyone else, so what will become of her?
