Onto the story.... This is about Two avatars who visit the Real Life realm with the help of a magical staff. The female seems to be happy, and the male don't seem to be enjoying his time there.
While on the other side, in the real life world.... A boy is controlling the avatars, as they are part of his movie script. So therefore one can assume that both avatars have a meaningless existance.
Going back to the avatars, she questions what he considers to be art, and metaphorically a "King" represents what art is to him because a King is passionate, loveable, hateable. A king has control, and see's a world different from his people. A king is all thats good and all thats bad. Tho art is pleasant... It can be destroyed. The young male avatar considers SL to be art, and doesn't like the idea of avatars merging into real life worlds because the real life world should stay to its own kind, and every avatar on the grid should create beautiful artwork that is exclusive to their homes of Second Life, one example "University of Western Australia"

After the metaphor phase, which is a sub story within another story which is a story or should I say movie for a real life person. So 2 stories take place inside one guys mind who is making a movie.

Be sure to watch all of the video, even the bloopers."
