Page 6 – A Parade of Weapons

The city in this story is built around a real volcano caldera — Crater Lake in Oregon. The island in the middle is actually called Wizard Island, so I put a castle on it. Not a wizard castle, just a regular castle.

Original Script

A festival of colors as air ships and water craft of all shapes and 
sizes form two parallel walls along the parade route across Crater Lake.

The parade begins with rows of soldiers flying in parade formation. 
Followed by frightening military air ships and massive flying weapons 
and strange machinery. All displaying the empire’s flag.

The air is thick with confetti. Show common people waving from their water 
craft below, and on the bridge between the palace (Wizard Island) and mainland.



Show a long distance shot of the queen standing on her palace balcony waving 
to the troops. Palace guards (in different uniforms) salute on either side of her.

Are those more leg-powered wingsuits? They are really cool, but I cannot help thinking of the term “Fighting Butterflies”……
By the way, I’ve been to Crater Lake. It’s a gorgeous area, and I like what you’ve done with it. 🙂

Leg-powered wings are the wave of the future! The military version has more “spines” than the previous firemen wings.

I’m still waiting for someone to point out the utter disaster it would be to develop (and thus destroy) Crater Lake. And, I will whole hardheartedly agree with them. Here’s me at the lake in 2013. It was July but there was still snow on the ground in some places. That water is COLD!

  I was there in June of 1959, and there was still ice along the shoreline.
  
  As for the ecological destruction, what mad naysayer would dare protest the majestic march of Monarchy? 😉

Now there’s a page that looks like it took an eternity to make. I’m really impressed by all the details here!

That’s not a Parade of Weapons-It’s a Splendid Display of Her Glorious Majesty’s Devotion to the Safety and Freedom of Her Most Beloved Subjects.
And that is one Glorious page.
