In a low budget motel room outside Las Vegas
3:40 am
3:40 am
[Its dark in the room, Morten is sitting on the edge of the bed, staring down, trying to get his thoughts together and feeling despaired, he stands and looks down at the girl lying in the bed sleeping, so quiet, so beautiful he thinks to himself, as he lets his fingers caress her hair, before he silently puts on his running gear and heads out the door]
Why the hell can't I let go of it!... this fear of hurting everyone around me, the guilt for hurting Kelly!... I want to believe her... I want to believe it was an accident and that I'm not to blame... she even came out for my debut and these last couple of days have been magic, but inside the beast still lures around...
[The doubts keeps haunting him as he runs down the street staring straight ahead not paying any attention to his surroundings]
I can feel he wants out feel that he has something he wants to let me know, maybe I should just let go and let him, but first I need to get away to where I cant hurt anybody
[He turns off running towards the park where he usually sits and meditates, at this hour he knows no one is there. As he runs through the gates he notices the calmness that fills his body, he feels save here. Finally he gets to his usual spot under a big tree, where he slowly sits down and starts to search his mind and soul for answers]
Are you there?... Primal?... I need to talk with you!
OH so now you wanna talk!... Don't kid yourself, you just want to justify your own actions, by making me your scapegoat
What do you mean?
Morten face the facts! I am you, you created me as an persona, so you wouldn't have to take responsibility for your actions in the ring, you made your character based on the fact that you couldn't handle the truth about yourself...
I don't understand... I mean I know you're a part of me and that...
You know it yet you wont accept it... right now your here to distance yourself from the fact that facing a women in the ring is against all your moral values, so now you want your instinct to take over and fight this battle for you
I...
Your a sexist bastard, Siren is a opponent just like any other and when you go into that ring you will crush her like you'd crushed so many others, you will take the fight to her and it will not end till one of you are pinned to the mat... You choose this conflict Morten choose to conflict yourself by reflecting upon yourself with eyes of society and it doesn't suit you... Your a warrior, like your ancestors, like Siren, but you let your self get caught by her spell even before the bell rings...
Stop it!... I respect the women of this profession and I respect Siren as an competitor, I am just afraid that if I let you loose...
And once again you refuse to take responsibility, its you who are facing her in the ring, you who gets let loose and it scares you... That is just what Siren wants its just like the sirens from Greek mythology, that ensnared men with their beautiful song only to bring around their demise, wake up Morten, you have to take her seriously, no matter if she reminds you of Kelly or not, she wont have pity on you in that ring..
I'm afraid, but maybe your right, I need to think this over...
Don't think, act!... choose here and now to fight your fight and I'll be with you!
[Morten is torn out of his trance by birds that start to sing, he looks at the clock its 6:00 am already. although he is still confused by his inner dialog with Primal, he feels more focused and resolved now, as he gets up and starts his way back to the motel]
