Episode 2: Witches before wizards
now lets begin:
Sasha[Rolls over, breathes heavily.] [flashbacks to the previous episodes events] [Sasha waking up in a forest, seeing Eda and king for the first time blah blah etc. anyways lets begin the real story
Sasha: Where on eart am i at? huh?
[Cut to the living room, the first time Sasha entered.]
Eda:Welcome to... [Snaps fingers.] ...the Owl House.
Sasha[Gasps.]
[Cut to Sashas first staff ride, whimsical music playing over the scene. Cut to present.]
Sasha[Wakes up with a gasp and looks around the room.]
King[Snoring.]
Sasha: girls i had the weirdest dream i was in another world anddd oohh it wasn't a dream!
[Opens the window.] Good morning, terrifying world.
Monster[Waving at her.] Good morning. [Sinks into the ocean.]
Sasha: uuuuhhhh okay i guess.
King[Snoring.]
Sasha[Picks up King.] Good morning, you little cutie puppy. [Kisses his head repeatedly.]
King:I am not your Puppy!
Sasha:Yes, you are. [Hugs him tightly before putting him back down on her sleeping bag.]
King[Sighs.] I know.
[Cut to Sasha, fully dressed, opening the bathroom door. Several owls fly out of it, hooting. She watches them fly away before entering, walking backwards.]
Hooty:Hi, Sasha!
[Sasha screams and karate chops Hooty's face.]
Hooty:Ow! I'm just wishing you a good morning. [Retreats to the front door.] Jeez! Hoot! Ow!
Sasha:Sorry, Hooty. *i just had to punch the door demon.* [Looks at the bathroom counter and picks up her sunglasses. looks at herself mirror.] This it gurl. Your first day on the Boiling Isles. [Punches the air.] Hyah!
[Toilet flushing. Eda's shadow appears on the wall before she steps into frame.]
Eda: [Yawns.] Hmm?
Sasha: Good morning, Eda the Owl Lady. im ready for the first day of being in the boiling isles.
Eda:Ugh! [Shakes spiders out of her hair, picks another one out of her ear.] Who are you, again?
Sasha:Huh? Oooohhhh, might be in a morning coma from waking up riiiight
-THEME SONG-
Sasha[Following Eda into the kitchen.] Remember me? Sasha? [Grunts as a coffee cup hits her in the back of the head.] We freed the oppressed and defeated the evil warden together? Yesterday?
Eda:Kid, lay off the details. I haven't even had my cup ofapple bloodyet.
Sasha:Isnt it apple juice?
Eda:No.
[Eda sits on the kitchen table and drinks from her mug. King is sitting in a high chair and stabbing a fork into a yellow blob with eyes sitting on a plate.]
Sasha:Teach me some spells already. When do I get a magic staff already? Was I supposed to bring my own runes? Do you have a dangerous "quest" for me or something?
Eda:Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down, kid. Being a witch doesn't happen overnight.
King[Laughs.]
Eda:But a magic staff, huh? You really want one?
Sasha:Umm yeah
Eda:Magic staff, come to me!
[She holds out her hand. For a second, nothing happens. Then several things crash distantly. King, Sasha, and Eda all slowly turn to the sound, until Eda's staff appears and smacks her in the face, clattering to the ground.]
Eda: [Grunts and picks the staff up, spinning it before tapping it on the ground.] It's early. Now, witches are awarded their staffs from school. With me as your teacher, you'll be taking a different approach. [Drops a bag of potions onto the floor.] You'll have to work for it. [Leads Sasha through the living room.] I run a few businesses. On weekends, I offer rarehumantreasuresthat Owlbert drags over fromyour side of the realm.
[She grabs a toy sword and hits a button near the pommel.]
Sword:I shall smite my enemies! Ages six to eleven.
Eda[Tosses the sword over Sashas head.] But most days I sell only the finest homemadeelixirsand potions.
Sasha: [Pulls a bottle from the bag and reads the label.] "Snake oil."?
Eda:No one wants an un-oiled snake. Follow me.
[Cut to Eda and Sasha walking onto a balcony.]
Eda:Today you'll deliver packages and sell potions to that town over there, Bonesborough. You'll have to be careful. I have rivals everywhere who'd love to take my business down and you along with it. You wanted a dangerous magical quest? Sister, you've got one.
Sasha: Alright Eda, fine i will.
[Sasha turns to Eda, dropping the sack of potions off the balcony in the process. The two of them watch it fall, Sasha wincing when it crashes loudly on the ground.]
Eda:I'm sure. [Cut to the living room, where Eda is pushing Sasha out the door with a new bag of potions.] Remember, never befriend a man in sandals and always measure twice, cut once.
Sasha:Uh...what?
Eda:Good luck! [Slams the door closed and dusts her hands off, then looks at King.] I hate to interrupt your power nap, but you have to go with her.
King:What? But I just found the perfect spot. Why do I have to go?
Eda:You and I know she's either going to get lost or eaten, probably both.
Sasha: [Squishes her face against the window.] No, I won't. im not naive nor weak!!!!
Eda:[Closes the blinds with a spell.] And because you work for me, too, unless you want to start paying rent.
King:[Throws a short tantrum before stomping out the door.]
Eda:Be back by nightfall or risk mortal peril. [Slams the door again.]
Hooty:Have a nice trip.
King:Huh! Let's get this over with.
[Fade to Bonesborough. Sasha and King walk through an archway.]
Sasha:Woah! i never seen such a place
[Zoom out to reveal a wall covered in wanted posters on either side of the archway. Various types of demons demon but not all of which Sash stare at in amazement.]
King:Hey, it's rude to stare.
Sasha: Sorry im just amazed, alot of this by just human imagination I've only seen places like this in My friends drawings and talked all about things like this. It's incredible. And I'm the only human here?
King:[Shrugs.] Haven't seen any others.
Sasha:Wow! There must be a reason for that, right? Why am I here? i mean by a box my friend opened, what would i do here? i mean not like the book my friend Marcy always reads is like this.
King:Yeah. that so called "Marcy" tell you that her book involves the character delivering boil cream? [Takes a potion labeled "Boil B' Gone" from the sack and holds it up.]
Sasha:Today I'm delivering packages but what will happen with tomorrow
King:Ha! Good luck. The Boiling Isles is nothing but a cesspool of despair.
Sash:More like a cesspool of delight.
[Sasha puts the boil cream back in the sack before hefting it over her shoulder and looking around. She starts in the direction of the market, where she walks up to a centaur holding a pumpkin in front of his chest.]
Sasha:What has four hooves and wants to buy a potion? This guy.
Centaur[Sighs and lowers the pumpkin to reveal his face is on his chest.] My eyes are down here.
Sasha[Exclaims.] oh sorry uh heres your potion.heh
[Cut to a house, where Sasha would ring the doorbell. She leaves her hand on the button, and the doorbell bites her hand and slowly starts to eat her arm she would start beating the button. King walks away in annoyance.]
[Cut to a curb, where Sasha and King are sitting, the latter scarfing down a Not Dog from the cart behind them.]
King[Sighs.] I know I've had enough delight for one day.
Sasha:I thought being the only human in a magical world would make me special. But apparently, it just makes everyone want to scream at me or... [Holds up her arm to reveal a small winged creature biting her elbow.] eat me.
[Flings the creature away and sighs, opening her book.] At this point i would have left at this rate but i wanna stay for adventures
King:Sorry to break it to you, Sasha, but no one here is that well‐dressed.
Sasha:This has been a rough day. [Stands and hefts the potions sack over her shoulder with a grunt; takes out a piece of paper and starts down the alley.] Let's just deliver this last package and go home. Maybe this world isn't what I thought it wa— woah nice.
[Cut to reveal a large castle with golden banners illuminated by sunlight. The doorbell is also made of gold, and towering wooden doors open as Sasha presses it.]
King: Big houses always belong to big whackjobs. Let's kick the package inside and get outta here.
Sasha: yeah no idc [Walking inside and ignoring King.] Hello?
King:Hey, wait. [Runs after Sasha, yelping when the doors slam behind him.] Weh!
Sasha: [Entering a room.] I'm delivering a package from Eda, the Owl Lady. Huh?
[Lanterns around the room flare on, revealing it to be a massive library. They illuminate a grand staircase, above which is a painting ofa wizard. Said wizard enters from a door in the same pose he has in the painting.]
Sasha: *sighs* Today just got weirder and weirder
[Ad break. Camera pans up the wizard.]
Sasha: shoud have listened to you King
King: Weird old man in jim-jams.
Sasha: you were right
Adegast: [Descending the stairs.] I was in my oscillarium, reading the stars. And who might you be, with eyes full of curiosity?
Sasha:pffff curiosity? bahaha no im not curious i just wanna be done with pakages, (sorry for bad english)
[completely ignoring what Sasha said the weird old man still continues]
Adegast: [Running up to the two of them.] Young lady, dareth I say, I sense something unique about you. Please, won't you join me for tea?
[Adegast summons two chairs and a table of snacks. He sits down in the white throne.]
Sasha: King answer intead of me i dont want to talk to this guy
King: [Grabbing Sashas leg.] Let's scram! [Climbs up to Sashas shoulder.] Wizards are just old people with glitter in their pockets.
[Adegast takes a handful of glitter out of his pocket and drops it on the floor.on
King:I don't trust him.
Sasha: well me neither. But i cant tell this man i dislike him. but that baby fox is cute ngl.
[The baby fox giggles.]
Sasha: plus there are scones on the table but i can cook scones for you AT HOME!
King:Where?
Sasha: uh King! Ugh i just had to open my mouth ugh!
[King pants as he runs to the table. Sasha follows him, dropping the bag of potions in front of the chair as she sits in it.]
Sasha:Lets just get this over with
[King munching.]
Sasha: [Turns and notices a cart of potions.]Hmm Do you sell potions, Old man?
Adegast:Please, call me Adegast. Ma'am, yes, I run a small business
Sasha: Not gonna happen old man! what a roast Sash.
King: [Munching, holds up an empty plate.] You should run a small business of more scones into my mouth. [Chuckles.] Yes!
Adegast:I'm surprised to see you here. It was my understanding that Eda delivered the packages herself.
Sasha: Well, She doesnt, she sent us.
Adegast:Oh! And how are you finding the experience so far?
Sasha: [Holds a fake grin.] uh why should i tell you that but When I decided to stay in this magical world, I thought I was meant for something special. But Eda thinks I'm meant for chores but i dont really care about chores not that im afraid I came to the wrong place no but my friend Marcy would love this place.
Adegast: [Approaching Sasha.] Well, I have a quest—
Sasha:A quest? i dont need a quest
[Cup shatters.]
Adegast: [Chuckles.] You didn't let me finish. I have a question.
Sasha: Oh. phew and i thought he was gonna send me to an "enchanted quest" but nahh haha
King: wow
Adegast:Would you like to go on a quest?
SashSa uhmm let me think, hmm No and idc
[still completely ignoring Sashas comments he still goes on]
Adegast: [Reaches into his beard and pulls out a scroll.] I might have just the thing. [Unrolls the scroll to reveal a map.] The prophecy speaks of a young human girl who will claim the Celestial Staff and free this world from an ancient evil. Perhaps you have came here for a reason.
Sasha:umm no. [Takes the map.]
Adegast: Should you believe yourself worthy to attempt this quest... [Begins walking through his house.]
Sasha: [Follows him.] No.
Adegast: ...you need to know the road is dark and perilous.
Sasha: still not doing what a man in pajamas say
Adegast: And only the Chosen One can pull the staff from its post.
Sasha: [Stops walking.] Chosen one? no im not one.
Adegast: [Then he realizes that Sasha is big in controlling other people]
you know this staff gives you unlimited power over people
Sasha: unlimited Power? no thanks im good enough with my friends.
King: [Walking past Sasha with the bag of potions.] Neat story, awesome. Anyway, your food is gone and we are, too.
Sasha: Yeah, we have to go.
Adegast: Wonderful.
[Cut to Sashas bedroom, where she's trying to tear the scroll apart]
Sasha: Ugh King help me tear this map apart
King: [Kneading Sashas sleeping bag, yawns and lies down.] Huh? What?
Sasha: [Picks up the scroll.]cus acording to this so called "staff" i should go on this dumb quest. but i dont care cus im a bad girl.
Eda:Oh, you guys talking about bad girls? Wait, what's going on?
King: Eda, tell Sasha how dumb wizards are.
Eda: [Gesturing with a severed arm and almost hitting King several times.] Ugh! Wizards are the worst. Never trust a man in casual drapery. [Laces her fingers with the severed arm's.] Why?
King: Your wizard client told Sasha... [Laughs.] she was a— [Laughing.] was a Chosen One! [Laughing.]
Eda:Wait, wait, Sasha? [Snickers.] [Laughs so hard she falls back onto the floor.]
King: He even gave her a map.
[Eda and King laugh as Sasha starts to join the laughing with them]
Sasha: King you forgot i didnt want to be apart of this.
Eda:Let me see this map.
[Sasha hands her the map. She inspects it for a few seconds.]
Eda: You didn't think this was real, did you?
Sasha:Well ddduuhhh i wouldt even care if it was real. why?
Eda:This map is bunk. There's no lake with a Celestial Staff on the Boiling Isles. I would have stolen it ages ago. Ah, don't worry. Couple more months here and you won't look like such a mark.
Sasha:Yeah sure i know, but can ya leave im still figuring out how to destroy this its unbreakable, well not if im here.
[Eda shrugs and leaves the room. King hops off of Sashas sleeping bag and follows Eda. The door closes, casting the room in shadow.]
Sasha:they were right. [Leans against the wall before sliding down it to the floor.] Huh?
[Sunlight is illuminating one corner of the map, revealing the word "one" in shining blue lettering. Sasha holds the entire map up to the light revealing the message: "The chosen one The path will only appear to the worthy".]
Sasha:"The path will only appear to the worthy." Pfft what a cheap scam
[the paper still shows the words "the staff comes with unlimited controll over everyone"]
Sasha: hmmm maybe if i just triumphant on a small hill, the people around her applauding as she holds a staff to the sun.]
Sasha:I'll never know unless I try it.
[Cut to the living room, where King is laying down on the couch.]
King:Finally! All that mean‐spirited laughter made me sleepy.
Eda:Crony, wake up. You said that wizard was one of my clients?
King:Yes. Now go away.
Eda:I don't know him that well. [Sits on the couch with enough force to send King flying into the air.] And I don't trust this itch he's scratching in the human.
King:Less talky, more nappy.
Eda[Sighs.]
[Cut to the door of Sashas room, which Eda pushes open.]
Eda:Hey, Sasha? Aw, nuts.
[Her room is empty, the howling wind pushing open the window. Eda runs to the window.]
Eda:Hooty, where'd she go?
Hooty:Hoot, hoot. If you want the answer that you seek, solve my riddle within a week‐‐
[Eda punches the wall hard enough to shake the whole house and leave cracks in the wall.]
Hooty:Ow! Okay, okay. She went into the forest towards Bonesborough. Sheesh!
Eda:Ugh!
[Cut to a sign proclaiming the city limits of Bonesborough, next to which is Sasha.]
Sasha[Inhales.] lets get this over with.
[She jumps and slides down an incline, then gets over a fallen log. A thick fog rolls in as she keeps walking.]
Sasha:Okay. Got the stupid Scroll, Got my trusty weapon. [Pulls out the sword and hits a button on it.]
Sword:By the power of Skullgar, I am out of battery.
[The lights on the sword dim as Sasha lowers it. She continues onward, ducking a branch and cutting a rope with the sword.]
Sasha:You know, I wonder if I made the right choice by coming here. Wow!
[Camera reveals a village full of cats wearing clothes and walking on two legs. Sasha walks through the village, as she looks around She remembers that she likes dogs more. She approaches a fountain in the middle of a square, from which a witch with a sword strapped to his waist emerges, flipping wet hair out of his face.]
Nevareth:I see. So you're the Chosen One. [Scoffs.] The Celestial Staff should've picked me, Nevareth Bladestrife, Teen Prince of Angstmore.
Sasha: uh okay and?
[Cut to an alley.]
King[Sniffing.] This is where we met the scones. I mean, the wizard. Whoa!
[Eda pushes aside a patched curtain.]
King:It wasn't like this before.
[The castle is now in complete ruin, with crumbling walls, no spire, and faded banners. One of the front doors is laying on the ground, and as they look, a chunk of wall falls from a pillar.]
Eda:I don't like this.
[A door creaks open, revealing the library. Tattered scrolls now litter the floor, shelves are broken, paintings are ripped, and chunks of debris are blocking the stairs. Eda steps forward, onto a bundle of scrolls. She picks them all up, each illuminated with the glowing message of: "The chosen one".]
Eda:Ireallydon't like this.
[Cut to the middle of the woods, where Sasha is walking with Nevareth and a flying onion with bat wings, howeever Sasha isnt that interested in these people she meets.]
Sasha:Umm your backstory is something just like Annes fave game. But your animal sidekick is good i guess?
Nevareth:After my village was consumed, my heart has known nothing but vengeance.
[They stop walking.]
Sasha:huh okay lets continue
Nevareth:Lady Sasha, do you think love can bloom on the battlefield?
Luz[Turns in disgust even if shes bi she doesnt like what he said]
[The three of them walk onto a bridge, yelping when a creature jumps in front of them.]
Nevareth:Ew.
Chris[Dances.] Hum-di-diddle, to pass the bridge, you must first solve my riddle.
Sasha:its a furry? i dont like riddles.
Chris:Your quest shall stop if you fail this game. So tell me, my dear, what is my name?
Sasha:Hmm. [Bends down to inspect his nametag.] Uh... Chris? How do you not know your name its litterally on your shirt? cloak? whatever that is.
Chris:That's it. You may cross the bridge. And please take this, Chosen One. It shall help you on your journey. [Hands her a ring.]
Sasha:Wow. its good and all but im good without it so no Thank you.
Nevareth:Do you need a cape?
Sasha:Nah, I think I'm good
Nevareth:You can use my shirt.
[Nevareth rips his shirt off and ties it like a cape over Luz's shoulders.]
Sasha:uh no thanks [Giggles.]
Nevareth:Three cheers for the Chosen One. Hip, hip...
Everyone:Hurray!
Nevareth:Hip, hip...
Everyone:Hurray!
[Sasha feels uncoftrable from the praise.]
Nevareth:Hip, hip...
[Cut to Eda.]
Eda:Oh, no.
[Her and King are standing in the cat village, which is now destroyed. Dark clouds hang in the sky and fog clouds hang in front of the houses.]
Eda:Are you sure she came here?
King[Sniffing.] Can't mistake her smell. Like cake and young, fighting spirit confidence.
Eda:Hmm.
[Eda walks up to the fountain, which is now broken and covered in dying vines. A cat wrapped in vines is laying in the lower basin. Eda kneels in front of the fountain.]
Eda:Hey! Wake up, you. [Flicks the cat's head.] What have you done with Sasha? [Shakes it.] What's your endgame?
Cat:To find your pupil and still your wrath, look ahead and follow the path. [Cackles as it disintegrates.]
King[Gasps.] The cat man melted!
Eda[Sighs and stands.] It's a trap. They want me to follow Sasha.
King:So, what do we do?
Eda:Hmm.
[Cut to the woods, where, along with Nevareth and Chris, Sasha is walking with a fairy much less hostile than the one she met the day before.]
Sasha:Thank you for inviting me to your feast i guess Princess. All your food was tiny and yeah.
Princess[Twirls her hands and creates two bracelets.] For you, Chosen One.
Sasha[Puts the bracelets on.] Thank you i guess. You have been so kind and thoughtful. But i guess its over now?
Chris:Your quest will soon come to an end, for the staff you seek is around the bend.
Sasha: Thanks for telling me what i already knew
Nevareth:Go on, Chosen One. The Celestial Staff is yours. You've earned it.
[Sasha perks back up and continues down the path.]
Nevareth:Farewell, Lady Sasha.
Princess:Farewell. We love you, Chosen One.
[Birds twitter as they fly overhead, casting long shadows below them. Sasha looks away from them to focus on the path, before slowing to a stop.]
Sasha[Gasps.] oh wait before i go [she takes off all of the "gadgets" she got and throws them away claiming that "she doesnt like gadgets and is good with just her earring]
[The Celestial Staff stands on a platform in the middle of a lake, illuminated by a ray of light. As Sasha approaches the edge of the lake, a glowing comes from the water, followed a few seconds later by a stone walkway rumbling into place, connecting the edge of the lake and the central platform.]
Sasha:I knew this world wasn't all Doom and gloom like Eda and King said. [Skipping and twirling down the walkway.] There is wonder here but those people were something i hate overly atached and gave me stuff even if i told the. i didnt need those
[She pauses as she reaches the platform, staring at the staff in awe.]
Sasha:Okay, this is the Moment of truth.
[She hesitantly grabs the staff. Blue swirls of magic come out of it, creating waves in the lake as the top of the staff glows brightly. She pulls it out of the ground and holds it above her head triumphantly.]
Sasha:Yeah knew it! I dont like this staff. [then she throws the staff with both hands to the ground.] Now i can leave [Laughs.]
[The staff disintegrates, the dust blowing away in the wind.]
Sasha: what?
[She grabs at the dust. Around her, the rest of the illusions fade: flowers at her feet wilt, water drains from the lake and retreats up the riverbanks, and even leaves disappear in a swirl.]
Sasha:What is going on?
[Cut to Eda and King flying through the woods on Eda's staff.]
Eda:I know this guy. He's no wizard. He's what you'd call a puppeteer, a demon who specializes in scamming and manipulating people. He's trying to use Sasha to get to me.
King:Yeah, and we're flying directly into his trap. Hurray.
Eda:Well, if you can think of a better plan, I'd love to hear it. Hey, faster, you. [Slaps her staff.]
Owlbert[Hoots.]
[Cut to the Celestial Lake, now surrounded in fog. Luz backs up, holding her sword in front of her.]
Sasha[Whimpers.]
Adegast[Appearing from the fog.] Sasha, the human.
Sasha:oh its the old man!
Adegast:Your hubris has failed you, [Cackling.]
[Adegast lifts the wizard puppet to reveal an ocotopus-like demon. The ground begins to crack.]
Sasha: Ew gross a demon
[Her previous travelling companions and cats from the village arise from the stone, a tentacle in each of their backs. They're lifted in the air and surround Sasha, who slowly spins around.]
Sasha:Okay, Sash. Get ready to fight. atleast you dont have those ugly accesories. now lets fight everyone
Adegast:I am everybody! You fool, don't you see? I'm no wizard. And you're no Chosen One. I've tricked you. [Evil laughter.] [he then realizes what she said about the accesories] How did you know about the trap
Sasha:WhWha oh its easy when i saw that this nevereth guy or whats his name had changed eye color i knew its a trap. HAH!
[As she's distracted by the reveal Adegast decides to capture her with tentacles.]
Sasha:No! Let me go. why are you doing this?!
Adegast:Your mentor has been stealing customers from my potions business for years. She must be destroyed.
Sasha:Does everybody have a beef with Eda here?
[All agreeing.]
Sasha[Sighs.] you just have to be like this
Adegast:And you lured her right into my trap, all because you wanted to think you were special.
Sasha:No cap but jokes on you, 'cause Eda isn't stupid enough to fall for your trap.
Eda:Adegast!
Sasha:Oh, heck! Why just oh why Eda?!
[Eda and King land at the end of the walkway.]
Adegast:Eda, I have you now!
[Two cat puppets erupt from the ground, one grabbing Eda and the other King.]
Eda:That's right. You have me. Now release Sasha.
King:I didn't have to be a part of this!
Adegast:Oh, she can leave. If she wants to. But I sense she wants a real fantasy.
Sasha:NO I DONT!!
[The Chris puppet breathes a cloud of fog at Sasha. When she opens her eyes, she's free of her restraints, kneeling in a dark void. Adegast's puppets walk up to her from the dark.]
Nevareth:Stay with us, Sasha. Stay with Adegast. We need you here. You could be our Chosen One.
Princess:Yeah, you can eat our tiny foods forever.
Nevereth:Sasha, why would you want to live in a world where people laugh at you?
Sasha:It is beautiful here.
Eda:Sasha!
Sasha:And you guys think I'm special.
Eda:No! [Grunts as the tentacle nearly envelops her.]
[The puppets all close in on Sasha.]
Sasha:But it's not real. and i didnt even want to be here in the first place!! [Grunts and waves the fog away, running forward to pick up her sword.] I am a Fighter. And I'm gonna earn my magic staff the hard way. I believed you, Magic Man. Now feel my wrath!
[Sasha stabs the wizard puppet through the stomach, making it disappear with a poof.]
Adegast[Screams.]
[Eda and King free themselves, landing next to Sasha with grunts. Sasha swings her sword at the princess like it's a bat, making her poof away. Three cat puppets approach Eda. She draws a spell circle, sending a plume of orange smoke at them. They disintegrate with distorted screams.]
Adegast[Screams.]
[Nevareth tries to blindside Sasha, but his yell alerts her. She catches his sword with her own and duels him.]
Sasha:you thouht you could fool me, "Nevareth!" [Plunges her sword through his chest.]
Nevareth[Grunts.] Ah, my flawless pecs! [Poofs.]
[Eda lands next to Sasha, the two sharing a smile.]
Adegast:Back off! [Holds up King.] Or the dog gets it.
King:I am not a— [Muffled grunt.]
[Eda and Sasha drop their weapons and raise their hands in surrender.]
Sasha:King, I'm sorry. I should have listened to you and never trusted that wizard. You were right. He isn't mystical or magical. He's just a big, slimy jerk. [But however something snaps inside of her and her eyes flash pink as She kicks her sword, sending it flying point first into Adegast's head. He screams and drops King, who is caught by Sasha. The scream changes pitch as Adegast shrinks to less than an eighth of his previous size. Eda and Sasha walk up to him.]
Eda[Picks him up.] Well, that's the last time I take an outside referral.
[Eats him.] Mmm. Oh, did you want some of that?
Sasha:No. im not its just all so confusing
Eda:Thinking of calling it quits, huh?
Sasha:This place is nothing like I imagined.
Eda:Hmm. Maybe not here. But come with me. I got something to show you.
[Cut to the three of them on Eda's staff, hovering in the sky. Sasha is wearing a blindfold.]
Eda:Okay, you can look.
Sasha[Takes the blindfold off.] Whoa!
[The camera pans to reveal the whole of the Boiling Isles: the decomposing body of aTitan. It's laying with its arms splayed in the sea, its skull illuminated by the setting sun.]
Eda:The bones of the Isles. Up close, the Isles can be slimy—
King:And very stinky.
Eda:And gross. But if you look at it from a different perspective...
[The three of them look to the sky above the Titan's skull, where stars are beginning to appear. As they watch, a shooting star crosses the sky, there for only a moment.]
Sasha:It's beautiful.
King:Yeah. [Leans against Sasha.]
Sasha:Eda, how did you know that wizard was lying?
Eda:Look, kid, everyone wants to believe they're "chosen". But if we all waited around for a prophecy to make us special, [Chuckles.] we'd die waiting. And that's why you need to choose yourself.
Sasha:Does that mean you'll give me a magic staff of my own?
Eda:Not yet. But... someday.
[Sasha leans against Eda as they watch the sun continue to set.]
Sasha: you know i wish i could tell my mom im safe but i cant she would end me.
Eda: dont worry kid you can send her letters anonymus or what you humans call "sms".
Sasha: your right.
-the end.
