This is my audition to write for the Kane Chronicles on Netflix. Thank you to everyone who's stuck this far. Happy Demon Days!
/The Brooklyn House shines in the night. Carter's voice can be heard over the sound of 'ROYL' by Chloe x Halle./
Now we're back at the Twenty-first Nome in Brooklyn.
/We zoom in on Carter, Sadie, Ayanna and Bast talking and laughing in the Great Room. Their voices are quiet incoherent sounds. They are drinking hot cocoa. Khufu is watching TV on the sofa./
We're going to send out this tape to a few carefully chosen people and see if it gets published. Sadie believes in fate. If the story falls into your hands, there's probably a reason. Look for the djed. It won't take much to awaken your power.
/The scene slowly fades into Jazz opening her locker. She is in her cheer uniform./
Then the trick is learning to use that power without dying.
/Fade to: Walt opening his locker and immediately holding onto his stomach in pain./
As I said at the beginning: the whole story hasn't happened yet.
/Cut to: Julius and Ruby having fun and being cute and in love in Duat./
Our parents promised to see us again, so I know we'll have to go back to the Land of the Dead eventually, which I think is fine with Sadie, as long as Anubis is there.
/A bird eye view of Al-Hamrah Makan/
Zia is out there somewhere—the real Zia.
/Isis and Set talking with Iskandar (muted)/
I intend to find her.
/A pile of dying scarabs over Apophis's prison. Demons with shovels are slowly working through the bugs./
Most of all, Chaos is rising. Apophis is gaining strength. Which means we have to gain strength, too – gods and men, united like in olden times. It's the only way the world won't be destroyed.
/The screen goes black. The rest of the audio plays to the the Kane Chronicles logo./
So the Kane family has a lot of work to do. And so do you. Maybe you'll want to follow the path of Horus or Isis, Thoth or Anubis, or even Bast. I don't know. But whatever you decide, the House of Life needs new blood if we're going to survive.
/The wings of the logo start glowing like Isis's rainbow wings and explode in colorful dust. Cue end credits. Literally anything from Chloe x Halle's 'Ungodly Hour' album is playing, because I'm obsessed with it. Maybe 'Overwhelmed' – this song feels like heaven to my ADHD./
So this is Carter and Sadie signing off. Come to Brooklyn. We'll be waiting.
