Slaying: The Next Generation

Episode 7: New Friends; Old Issues – Part 1

James (V.O.)

This is what's happened in the last few days . . .

Cut to: Police Chief Davis Armstrong and Mayor Rodgers arguing over the Orb of Orin

Davis:

There's more going on in this town than responding to people complaining about people in Halloween masks.

Mayor Rodgers:

If you're doing your job, then how come a woman reported being attacked by one of those 'people' with the strange face and being saved by a high school girl?

Davis:

There are more problems that just that. When will you tell the people around here about the problems that continue to grow?

Mayor Rodgers:

That's something that the people will never hear about. The less they know the better for the city and for us.

Cut to: Yarza coming up with a plan to deal with the mayor of the town

Yarza (smiling evilly):

Actually, (he looks into his crystal ball at the ongoing argument between Police Chief Davis Armstrong and Mayor Rodgers) I have a better idea.

Cut to: Damian freaking about everything that he's learned to Samantha

Damian:

I don't think I'm that powerful. Anyway, between the two of us training Amelia, learning about the elemental coven and now Lucy, I feel like I'm in way over my head here.

Samantha:

I'm right there with you and so is the rest of the team. We'll figure this out.

Damian (freaking):

I have no idea what the next step is or what to do or how to go about – (Samantha cuts him off by kissing him causing him to relax a bit as she breaks the kiss.) What was that for?

Samantha (shyly):

Calming you down for one thing and I've wanted to do that for a while.

Cut to: Lucy talking to Damian about becoming human again

Lucy:

I wanted to ask if there was a way for me to become a living being again.

Damian:

I already know the spell necessary to remove the vampire essence from your being and make you human again but you'd have to get your soul back before that's even possible. Not to mention that spell requires a human sacrifice.

Cut to: Damian, Samantha, and Willow talk to Madam Larissa at the Magic Center about the book "Lords of Magic"

Damian:

This book seems to write itself. I mean, I was reading through it when I came across a few pages (he opens the book to the pages with him, Lucy and Amelia) that have stuff on me, Amelia and my ex-turned-vampire Lucy. (The book glows again as a new page mysteriously starts writing itself.) This is what I'm talking about. (The glow on the page fades to reveal information about Samantha.)

Samantha (shocked):

How come I'm in this book now?

Willow:

I've never heard of a book doing something like this. (She takes the book and flips through the pages finding a page about her.) There's stuff in here about me becoming an earthbound goddess.

Samantha:

Madam Larissa, is there something you're not telling us?

Cut to: Damian receiving the Orb of Orin from the stone slab at the construction site

Voice:

Damian, step forward. (He steps to the slab as it begins to glow a lavender color. The slab disintegrates revealing a silver box with lavender-laced embroiders around it. Damian takes the box and puts it into his backpack.) This is the Orb of Orin and it belongs to you. You are the only one who can access its power for the coven and those you look after; however, you still have to find the key to open it and here's a hint: it hides in plain sight.

FADE TO BLACK

Cut to: Rosedale High Library – Midday

Next to the main office at Rosedale High sits the library where students come to check out books for leisure or research, browse the internet or find some quiet during the various lunch periods. Books line the shelves six rows high providing ample privacy from wondering eyes. Near the main desk sit various tables for those wanting to sit and read, do homework or work in their own peace. At a table near one of the windows, Damian listens to the rain pepper the window as he rummages through several books containing information on the town's past.

Damian (concentrating):

Still nothing (he closes the book and slams it onto the table). There's nothing here about the history of this town. (He opens a new book and continues reading.) Here's something (he reads several pages pertaining to the founding of Rosedale and the circumstances surrounding its rise in the area.) Interesting (he gets up and walks to the main desk and talks to the head librarian)

Librarian:

(He's of African descent and stands at 6'4" and has graying hair and wears a three piece suit. His glasses hang just off his nose.) What is it Damian?

Damian:

Mr. Aberdeen, do you have anything else pertaining to the founding of Rosedale? It all part for a report I'm working on and part for my curiosity.

Mr. Aberdeen:

Other that those two books you have, nothing I'm afraid. If my memory hasn't failed, most of the volumes pertaining to the founding of our fair city were destroyed but if you try your luck, you could ask around at City Hall. Those records should still exist.

Damian:

That's weird. Why would the city hide all records about the town's founding?

Mr. Aberdeen:

Why the sudden curiosity about the town?

Damian:

I came into possession of a powerful object a few days ago and with the current calm that the city has gone under, I want to know more about this town, how it came into being and understand the rumors of supernatural occurrences around here.

Mr. Aberdeen:

You think I haven't noticed all the supernatural crap that goes on in this excuse of a town (Damian looks at him confused.) Besides, there's more to me than meets the eye you know but I'm sure you already feel it. (He cracks a smile as it starts to dawn on Damian who he speaks to.)

Damian (realizing):

How in the world didn't I notice it earlier? You're one of the magical guardians that oversee those around here and in Rosedale aren't you?

Mr. Aberdeen:

You're right on the money. I oversee those who practice magic in this whole city so I do watch over you, Samantha, Amelia and Devin along with a few others. (He puts his hand onto the warlock's shoulder) But most importantly Damian, I can say now that I'm your personal teacher in the magical arts.

Damian (confused):

Wait? What? I have no idea what you're talking about. I haven't needed a teacher since I started practicing.

Mr. Aberdeen:

You see, the earthbound goddess talked to me a few days ago about you becoming a magical overlord and she appointed me to teach you everything about the powers of the overlord.

Damian (dejected):

Not again. I keep telling people that I have no interest in becoming some overlord.

Mr. Aberdeen:

It can't be avoided. I already sense the powers within you to become our leader. Just let me agree to train you at least.

Damian (defeated):

There's no way out of this is there? (The librarian nods.) Fine, I'll train to become the overlord.

Mr. Aberdeen:

Great, we'll start first thing Monday morning. For now, find out more about Rosedale's mystical past. I know you intern at City Hall on certain days.

Damian:

I already have intentions to do that anyway. (The bell rings ending the lunch period.) I better run. I'll see you on Monday and I'm bringing Samantha with me. (He grabs his things and rushes out of the library.)

Mr. Aberdeen (to himself):

So it begins. Soon, our lord will rise and the underworld will fall.

Cut to: Rosedale Caves – Afternoon

A new group of demons enter the caves and take places around the main stage making a huge fuss. A spiked demon walks out and confronts the group. Yarza listens in from an adjacent room along with Chris as they argue about Lucy's whereabouts.

Yarza:

You're saying you have no idea where Lucy might be?

Chris:

I haven't seen her since I advised her to settle things with her ex.

Yarza:

She talked to that Damian character? She's lucky that she didn't get dusted right then.

Chris:

That's unlikely; those two have a very ugly past and they didn't end well between them.

Yarza:

No kidding. Wonder if we can use that against him.

Chris:

Sure if we knew where Lucy went after talking to that warlock.

Yarza:

I'm starting to think that's how that fool knew where the orb was.

Chris:

You think Lucy told him about it?

Yarza:

It wouldn't surprise me if she did. She always acted like a bit of a rogue. (Noises from the other room get their attention as a bottle rolls into the room.) We better find out what those idiots are arguing about this time. (The pair enters the room where the demons continue to argue.) What the hell are you knuckleheads babbling about?

Spiked Demon:

(He stands just over 6'4" with spikes sticking out if its skin.) Yarza. Our friend here wandered into the swamps last night noticing some girl wondering towards the Mist of Lost Souls.

Yarza:

No kidding? (The demon nods.) It must be Lucy you saw wondering around in there. What could she be looking for around there?

Spiked Demon:

If I may; no being alive or dead wonders in there unless they're foolish enough to lose their soul. That place literally tears all life to shreds.

Chris:

What's the Mist of Lost Souls?

Yarza:

It's a complicated answer Chris and it goes back to this area's early days. By the way, has anyone dealt with that mayor yet? He knows more about the Orb of Orin than I do.

Spiked Demon:

I'd be more than happy to fetch him for you Yarza.

Yarza:

Please do. I can't let that Damian character open that box containing the orb before I get my hands on it. (The demons head out of the caves.) By the way, watch out for the Slayers – there are two in town at the moment.

Cut to: Rosedale Bus Station – Night

On the outskirts of town sits Rosedale Bus Station – the least popular place in the city for those leaving and entering town. The full moon rises over the city as the last bus of the day rolls into the station and a group of individuals get off. Last ones off is a young teen girl of African descent and her mother as they head inside the station.

Girl:

So this is Rosedale? What a dump.

Mother:

Elena? Be nice. Give this place a chance ok? We need a fresh start after what happened.

Elena:

(She stands at 5'7" with long legs and a fit body meant to run track.) Give it a rest mom. After what went down in Alexandria, I need a place to get away from all of that craziness and start over.

Mother:

Glad you see it my way. (The pair grabs their things and head to a rental car that waits for them.) Good thing I have this car we can use – ah! (Several vampires jump out of the bushes opposite the parked car.) What are these things?

Elena (angry):

The reason you dragged me out of Alexandria in the first place – vampires.

Vampire #1:

Hey boys – looks like dinner just arrived.

Vampire #2:

Good thing too. Feeding has gotten much harder since that second Slayer showed up several weeks ago.

Vampire #1:

Let's just get them and be quick about it. (Another vampire charges after the group when Elena grabs him by the neck and forces him against a tree behind the vampires.)

Elena (furious):

Try that again and I'll dust you all myself. No one goes near my mother. Now answer me this: what did you mean by there are two Slayers in this town?

Vampire #3:

One's been here since the line was awakened and another arrived with the earthbound goddess a while back.

Elena (smirking)

Thanks (she pulls out a stake from her jacket pocket) you can go now. (She stakes the vampire dusting him before turning to the other vampires.) I suggest you get the word out right now; there's a new Slayer in this town – me! (The other vampires grow angry) Boo!

Vampire #1:

Kill the bitch and her mother! (The group charges after Elena as her mother backs to the car.)

Elena (panicked):

Mom, get in the car and stay out of sight. (Her mother does as Elena tackles a vampire into the car before dusting him.) Next! (She taunts the group as they all charge in as she swing kicks two of them but is quickly overmatched.)

Vampire #1:

Now we eat boys. (A tap on his shoulder gets his attention causing him to turn around.)

Alicia:

Excuse me (She and Kennedy smile as they crack their knuckles.) She's not the only Slayer you need to worry about. (She punches the vampire knocking her off of Elena allowing her to get to her feet.) You must be Elena Knight? (Elena nods.) Welcome to Rosedale. (She punches the vampire charging after them knocking him down.)

Elena:

This place seems worse than Alexandria (she turns around and throws her stake at the vampire running behind her turning him into dust.) Glad to be here I guess.

Kennedy:

(She stakes the last two vampires still fighting as the others flee the area.) That's what I said when I first got here. At least they're gone for now.

Alicia:

By the way, my name's Alicia Davidson; the original Slayer in this town.

Kennedy:

And I'm . . .

Elena:

Kennedy Suarez, one of the original slayers who fought beside the chosen two in the final battle of Sunnydale. My watcher told me all about the ones who were in that fight.

Kennedy:

I didn't know we were all that well known.

Alicia:

So Elena, what brings you to Rosedale?

Elena:

My mother got a new job here so she transferred me from my old school to Rosedale High. I start there Monday.

Alicia:

Great; let's meet up on Monday and I can introduce you to the rest of our demon-hunting squad and my watcher – Mr. James Elvoy.

Mother:

Come on Elena; we need to get to our apartment.

Elena (annoyed):

I'm coming mom. (She turns to her new friends.) That's my mother Lesley Knight. It's just me and her since my dad died years ago. Nice meeting you two and see you Monday Alicia. (She waves running to her mother's car.)

Cut to: Rosedale City Hall – Morning

Mayor Rodgers finishes up a conference call with several of his staff members setting the agenda for the next supervisor's meeting. A knock at the door reveals Damian with a new package he picked up at the main desk.

Mayor Rodgers:

Well hello Damian. I wasn't expecting you in today.

Damian:

Yeah but I wanted to ask you about something and was told by your secretary to get this package to you. (He hands the mayor the package.)

Mayor Rodgers:

Thanks. What did you want to know?

Damian:

I was trying to find out about Rosedale's past and can find next to nothing. I was wondering if you could grant me access to the historical archives.

Mayor Rodgers:

I'm afraid I can't let anyone near those records my faithful intern. This town has a dark history that no one outside of this office can ever know about. It's a law that dates back to its founding.

Damian:

What do you mean? This town can't be so mysterious that you have to hide all the records.

Mayor Rodgers:

The records in the archives are the only known recorded history on Rosedale and its founding. The records are written in some strange old, foreign dialect and no one alive can translate it.

Damian:

I hate to say this Mayor but now you've gotten me curious.

Mayor Rodgers:

The records from that era are sealed with a strange seal. That's all I can tell you and no; you're not allowed to look at it. (The door burst open and several demons enter the office followed by Yarza.) How dare you enter my office like this?

Yarza:

Why mayor, I'm hurt that you don't remember me; maybe it was due to your little poison treatment you did to me.

Mayor Rodgers (angry):

Get out of my office; all of you!

Yarza (smirking):

You know that I'm not going to do anything you say you old fool!

Damian (frustrated):

What do you want Yarza? It's not like you to stroll out in the middle of the day.

Yarza:

You should know what I want Damian: the Orb of Orin and the mayor!

Mayor Rodgers (shocked):

Since when did you get a hold of the orb?

Damian:

I didn't know a thing about it until I overheard you and Chief Armstrong arguing about it and how it connects to the town's past.

Yarza:

Enough with the chit-chat you imbeciles, I want the orb if you'll be so kind.

Damian (angry):

Not a chance in hell Yarza. Now get lost!

Yarza:

You know I'm not going to do that without that orb. (He takes a swing at Damian who catches him mid-stride and forces him back.) Well, feisty aren't we? Kill the boy and capture the mayor. (The demons all charge after the mayor and Damian who's taken a fighting stance.) I do want to know where Lucy has got to.

Damian:

Lucy? Hell if I knew. I haven't seen her in a few days.

Cut to: Mist of Lost Souls – Midday

South of New Orleans sits the swamplands that separate the mainland from the heart of the coast. Deep in the swamps sits a series of underground temples known only to the supernatural world. Fog covers the area twenty-four hours a day, every day giving the place its name: the Mist of Lost Souls. It is said that those who enter the mist either lose their souls or eventually find it. Deep in the fog-covered swamps, Lucy, who has her game-face on, enters one of the temples and makes her way to a shrine.

Lucy (intrigued):

This must be the place (she shifts her face to normal). This is wild that's for sure. (The room is vast with a single statue on the far wall of a demon.)

Voice (echoing):

State your business here vampire.

Lucy (determined):

I want to become human again!

Voice:

Messing with the natural order of life isn't wise vampire but it's within this realm's power. Are you sure this is what you want?

Lucy:

Yes!

Voice:

Very well (the statue's eyes glow yellow as several other demons appear around Lucy. All have the same glowing eyes as the statue.) If you defeat the enemies before you, you can have that which you desire.

Lucy (smiling):

Fine with me (she shifts into her game-face). Let's get it on then. The faster I off all of you; the faster I can become a regular human again.

Voice:

Let the trial begin. (The demons all charge after Lucy as she takes a fighting stance.)

Cut to: Magic Center – Midday

James checks out the shop for new supplies as Samantha and Willow confront Madam Larissa about the book she gave Damian.

Samantha (curious):

So how come the two of us ended up in that book you gave him?

Madam Larissa:

Seriously, I have no idea how that can possibly happen.

James (overhearing):

What book are you three on about?

Madam Larissa:

Several days ago, I gave Damian a book called "Lords of Magic" detailing the chronicling of past magical overlords.

James (surprised):

The "Lords of Magic"; that book is only meant for future overlords which would make Damian . . . (Alicia, Mindy, Kennedy and Elena enter the store.)

Alicia:

Mr. Elvoy (she waves to him getting the group's attention) I want you to meet someone: this is Elena Knight, she's new in town and a Slayer from over in Alexandria.

James:

It's nice to meet you Elena. I assume your watcher knows you're here.

Elena:

Yeah. He referred me over to you and told me to get you this (she hands him a manila folder). He says it's on the history of Rosedale.

Willow:

Wait a second, wasn't Damian doing the research into the history of the town?

Samantha:

Now that you mention it, he's been acting rather strange since yesterday.

Willow (guilty):

That might be my fault. (Everyone turns to her.) The other day I talked to the magical guardian at the school who watches over those who use magic and asked him to train Damian to become the overlord.

Mindy:

That would do it.

Alicia:

I wonder what he found out. (Damian stumbles into the store covered in demon fluids.)

Damian (exhausted):

That's only half of it. (Everyone in the store helps him to a chair as he catches his breath.) There's more going on here than any of us realize.

Kennedy:

What the hell happened to you?

Damian (remembering):

Went to City Hall to do talk to the mayor about the town's past when Yarza showed up with a few other demons and as you can tell from how I look, it got ugly.

Samantha (worried):

Are you ok and what about the mayor?

Damian:

Mayor Rodgers is fine and I ended up blasting Yarza out a window. By the way, I forgot how crazy strong that fool is not to mention that the mayor's office needs a serious cleaning after our little skirmish.

Alicia:

That's crazy. I wonder what made Yarza confront the mayor.

James:

What did you mean there's more going on?

Damian:

Check this: the mayor knows about the Orb of Orin and it seems as if it's connected to the founding of Rosedale. I don't know why or how; he won't let me or anyone else near the archives, but I know that it's all about this mystical hotspot that intertwines with this town.

Willow:

You're making it sound like this town's sitting on top of a hellmouth.

Damian:

Not in your terms Willow.

James:

Then you should take a look at this (he hands him the folder full of information on Rosedale). This was brought by Elena over here.

Alicia:

She just moved here from Alexandria and she's another Slayer like Kennedy and me.

Elena (nervous):

It's nice to meet you Damian. I've heard tons about you.

Damian:

It's nice to meet you too Elena (the two shake hands). Interesting (he flips through the folder looking at pictures and reading various documents) so there is a mystical hotspot in this region. (He puts the folder down on the table.) I'll check into it later. Next topic: Madam Larissa, what's with that crazy book?

Madam Larissa:

You were meant to have the book Damian. As the future overlord, its contents update itself over time for the person who's meant to hold it and that's you.

Mindy (curious):

I don't see what the big deal is. (She flips through the book sitting on the counter.) This book isn't all – ah! (Suddenly, a sharp pain rushes through her head causing Alicia to help her sister to a chair. In her head, Mindy sees Damian meditating in the school library when he encloses himself in a bright bluish-white light. The vision then shifts to a swampy area surrounded by mist and sees several demons fighting a vampire in a temple. The vision shifts again to reveal a strange symbol with a bluish-white glow around it. Carolyn's voice echoes through her and speaks directly to Damian.)

Carolyn (through Mindy):

Overlord (she turns to Damian) the Seal of Azarth. (Mindy suddenly comes out of her vision and sees everyone staring at her.)

Mindy (groaning):

Damn visions. (She notices everyone staring at her as she rubs her eyes.) What? Is there something on my face?

Alicia:

No sis. You had another vision and you said something strange. (She notices Damian rushing to a bookshelf and pulls a book before returning to his chair.) What did you see?

Mindy:

My vision was in bits and pieces. (She looks at Damian buried in the book he got off the shelf before turning to the rest of the group.) I did see this weird swamp area and some vampire fighting a pack of demons in some temple and the whole area was in a fog of some sort.

Madam Larissa:

That sounds like the Mist of Lost Souls; the swamplands south of New Orleans. That area is dangerous for anyone not of a magical or demonic nature.

Mindy:

There was something else that I don't know how to describe.

James:

Try your best young prophetess.

Mindy:

The best way I can describe it is that there was a symbol; a six point star but each end had a dragon's head on it.

Damian (interrupting):

The Seal of Azarth (he slams a book down onto the table open to the page in question) a source of mystical energy. I've only heard about it in stories my mom told me.

Willow:

I heard of it while studying with Althanea at the coven in England. It's said to be ultra dangerous and only those with ties to the overlords can approach it.

Elena:

There's a story I heard back in Alexandria that went along the lines that the person who created the seal was some black dude named Terrence O'Brien.

Damian (realizing):

Terrence? I know that name (he runs to the counter and flips through the book) he's my ancestor; at least, that's what my mom told me years ago. He didn't live in this area as he guided his old coven through the witch trials in Salem. Here's something I haven't told anyone: I had a dream about him a few weeks ago, or rather, I dreamt that I was that dude dissolving the coven during the trials. She told me that our family's magic is what created the Seal of Azarth but Terrence hid it when he dissolved his old coven.

Willow:

That's why you woke up in a cold sweat that morning. You fell asleep on the book open to that page.

Damian:

Yeah. That's how I figured out that Lucy was to be in the coven as well.

James:

Now that part of it makes sense.

Samantha (surprised):

That's how you know about the witch trials?

Damian:

I'll tell you more about it when we go check out this crazy seal in the Mist of Lost Souls. Since it was my family's magic that created it, I should be able to find it easily. Alicia, I want you to come with us. We'll need some Slayer muscle.

Alicia (excited):

Sure. I wouldn't mind a small road trip out of town.

Mindy:

I'm coming too. It was my vision that got us on this trail.

Alicia:

Fine sis you can come too.

James:

Elena and Kennedy will pick up the patrols around town while you are gone.

Samantha:

Just make sure Amelia and Devin get their training in like always.

Willow:

I'll work with them. You four, be careful out there.

Damian:

We will. Let's meet here at sundown and I'll teleport us there.

Cut to: Rosedale Caves – Early Evening

Darkness sets in over the city as activity in the caves pick up. Yarza is in his private chamber packing a bag of weapons and supplies. He walks to his chair on the stage and sees a small group of various demons including Jarga and a horned and spiked demon among them.

Yarza:

Everyone here and accounted for?

Jarga:

Yes Yarza. I have three of my best demons with me.

Spiked Demon:

I'm ready too. So Yarza, where are we going?

Yarza:

We're going to the Mist of Lost Souls. I need to find Lucy and make sure she's safe. Plus, there's intel that the Slayer and that warlock are headed there for some reason.

Spiked Demon:

Why would they even bother leaving the city?

Yarza:

We'll find out when we find Lucy. I need my number one vampire back.

Chris (hurt):

Thanks for the pain you just caused what was left of my ego.

Horned Demon:

So what are we waiting for? Let's go already!

Jarga:

After my last two encounters with the Slayer, we don't do anything without a plan. We need to find out why they're going to the Mist of Lost Souls.

Yarza:

You've wised up Jarga. We do need answers to why they're going but right now finding Lucy is our primary objective. So, shall we go? (The group heads down an unused tunnel leading to the swamplands.)

Cut to: Alicia's Home – Early Evening

Alicia straps a broadsword to her back and fills a bag with stakes and small daggers along with a change of clothes. Mindy packs a change of clothes before grabbing a crossbow and a quiver of arrows. She remains deep in thought about her vision about the strange light she saw overtake Damian.

Mindy (thinking):

This will do for me I guess. (She throws her bag onto her back and walks into her living room and sits on the sofa looking out the window waiting for her sister.) I still don't get why I would have that vision about Damian without having a clue about what it means.

Lucinda:

(She exits the downstairs restroom and notices her daughter deep in thought.) Is there something on your mind Mindy? Does it have to do with your visions?

Mindy (frustrated):

I don't know. I didn't tell the group everything I saw in my last vision. There was one other thing that I don't know what to do with.

Lucinda:

Maybe it's time I tell you something: I too am a Seer and my visions started around your age.

Mindy (shocked):

No wonder you constantly catch us lying about things.

Lucinda (smiling):

Yeah. Well, maybe I can help you figure out what to tell the others in your group. I've been getting visions about what you all have been up to. Share your vision with me.

Mindy:

I can do that?

Lucinda:

Sure. Seers like us can share visions with one another. Just take my hands. (Mindy sets her hands into her mother's.) Now close your eyes and channel your vision into me. (The two close their eyes and Mindy focuses sending the images of her vision about Damian into her mother's mind. Both open their eyes as they turn bright white. Mindy struggles to maintain the connection as both her and her mother's eyes return to normal.)

Mindy (exhausted):

Sorry mom. It was too much and I couldn't hold the connection.

Lucinda (comforting):

It's ok sweetie. It was your first seer-to-seer connection so it's not surprising you found it difficult. I did get enough of what you saw regarding Damian and this trip you're taking with your sister.

Mindy:

I couldn't bring myself to tell the group what I saw regarding him. I'm not sure what it even means.

Lucinda:

It means that he's going to gain a lot more power but it's cryptic as you said. Carolyn wouldn't have shown it to you if it wasn't important. (Alicia enters the living room oblivious to the conversation taking place.)

Alicia:

You ready sis? We need to meet Damian and Samantha at the magic shop.

Mindy:

Coming (she hugs their mother and whispers in her ear) thanks mom. I'll figure out what the meaning is behind what I saw.

Lucinda:

You two; be careful out there and watch out for each other. (The siblings wave as they close the front door behind them.) Well, I wouldn't have thought that Damian will become the lord of all magic. He's in for one hell of a discovery in the Mist of Lost Souls when he finds his ancestor's seal.

TO BE CONTINUED . . .
