INT. CHRISTA’S ROOM - NIGHT
The box was opened, and CHRISTA noticed something inside.
CHRISTA
Varon? What is it?
VARON quickly picked up the box and tried to fix the contents
inside.
VARON
It’s nothing.
He took the box and tucked it in his pocket. Hoping that
CHRISTA doesn’t know what it is.
CHRISTA
Nothing? How could it be nothing!
VARON was getting ready to cry.
VARON
Christa!
That was when she stopped. She began to see that she had
upset him. And stood quiet.
CHRISTA
I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to yell at
you. It’s just that. I’m tired of
people holding secrets.
VARON
It was never meant to hold any
secret against you.
CHRISTA looked at him, wondering if he was truly being
sincere. His ocean eyes shone with tears.
CHRISTA
I’m...I’m going to bed.
VARON hitched as he didn’t expect that answer right away. He
then looked down and sighed.
VARON
Alright, Christa. Sweet dreams.
He turns around and takes one last look towards her way
before he goes to grab the door. Slowly closing it behind
him.
CHRISTA
Varon.
She held herself as if she were trying not to remember
anything. She felt bad about the near argument she had with
VARON.

Gathering Storms
INT. CASTLE VERENIA - DAY
CHRISTA is walking in the castle hallway. She was thinking a
lot about her and VARON’s previous adventure. They were stuck
in Moontide Tower, where they met a mutated gorilla known as
a Goran. A monster of ferocious strength.
They barely escaped.
VARON returned from a morning errand. He notices CHRISTA.
VARON
Christa. I see you awoke early.
CHRISTA
Of course I did. When I found out
you were gone, I grew worried.
VARON smiled and came to her immediately.
VARON
You don’t have to worry about
anything. I took care of the
situation.
CHRISTA
What situation?
He frowned.
VARON
There are sightings of orcs in the
plains.
The orcs were mobilizing in the plains. Wild horses began to
sprint in different directions. Hoping not to get caught.
Their numbers were about twenty-two. URUL and RUGORIM, the
leaders, were there.
An orc named TORRON, who had lost an eye in battle, came to
report to them.
URUL
State your report.
TORRON
The others are scouting the area
for the Verenian pest. None are
patrolling the area.
RUGORIM
Sounds like they are slacking in
their work. He he he.
In the midst, the gathering orcs see another branch also
mobilizing in the same area.
TORRON
Ah, I see that reinforcements have
arrived.
CHRISTA gasps at the thought of the orcs forming an army. She
began to pale, and VARON notices.
VARON
Christa? Maybe you need to lie back
down. I won’t have you pass out in
the middle of the hallway.
CHRISTA
Varon, I’m fine. It’s just
that...Orcs in the middle of the
plains? Varon, this can escalate
into a bigger problem.
VARON
I know. Which is why I went towards
that location.
At the throne room. KING AMALDUS III looks towards the door.
He sees VARON and CHRISTA together. He gave a stern look, but
ultimately said nothing.
KING AMALDUS III
Varon. Christa. I am glad you two
finally came.
They were about to bow and curtsy respectfully. Until the
king stopped.
KING AMALDUS III (CONT’D)
At ease. Now tell us. What
developments have happened since we
last spoke?
VARON
Your majesty. We have trouble
brewing.
KING AMALDUS III
The orcs.
VARON gave a grim nod slowly. CHRISTA looked at the exchange
worriedly. She kept thinking about the gemstones tied to the
Key to Nova. PRINCESS ELIANA finally came.
PRINCESS ELIANA
Father. I am sorry I am late.
KING AMALDUS III
You had another vision?
PRINCESS ELIANA
(nods)
The orcs are only part of the
problem.

A Day in Castletown: Shadows of Unease
EXT. CASTLETOWN - DAY
CHRISTA and VARON were scanning around town. They were in the
northern district, where the nobles mostly live. The men wore
fine linen, and the women wore clothing befitting their
class. They eyed VARON and CHRISTA and bowed slightly.
CHRISTA
Is there anything we should be
doing today?
VARON
I wanted us to spend a bit of time
together before we head off on
another adventure.
She began to hide a blush before she heard a clocktower rang.
It nearly startled her as they walked down cobblestone
streets. Some knights were speaking to each other while
patrolling.
Others stood good and straightened themselves at VARON’s
presence. CHRISTA noticed and was intrigued.
CHRISTA
Wow. They respect you immediately.
VARON
I used to be a knight, remember?
Some of these recruits are new.
As they kept walking, they saw a fountain, and CHRISTA ran up
to it and felt the coolness and breeze of the water filtering
in the air. She takes a breath and lets it hit her.
CHRISTA
This feels amazing.
VARON
I know. I love coming here every
once in a while. Castletown has its
perks.
CHRISTA
Do you think we might get a new
mission soon?
VARON
Probably not in a while. Which is
fine by me, we need a break every
now and then.
A shadow of a person moved quickly between crates. VARON
looked around and didn’t see anything. CHRISTA gets up and
turns around equally.
CHRISTA
What is it?
VARON
We should probably get moving. I
don’t like what I am feeling around
here.
CHRISTA
You’re right. It feels off
suddenly.
They began walking in the opposite direction. A person in
shadow stares at them as they walk, then sinks to the ground.

Shadows in the Marketplace
EXT. MARKETPLACE, CASTLETOWN - DAY
The market was bustling with potential customers and
merchants selling new products, fresh produce, and even
livestock. VARON and CHRISTA moved throughout the crowd hand
in hand. Walking towards the side.
CHRISTA looks everywhere and notices the balloons everywhere.
CHRISTA
Is there going to be a festival
soon?
VARON
Maybe. They are probably doing
early preparations.
Then VARON wondered and turned to CHRISTA.
VARON (CONT’D)
Christa. Would you like to attend?
CHRISTA
Could I?
VARON
If you want to. I would be more
than honored if you came with me.
CHRISTA was ecstatic with the answer and nodded vigorously.
VARON (CONT’D)
Alright. Then it’s settled.
Once again, a shadowy figure in black clocked in, eying VARON
and CHRISTA. They disappeared into the crowd as if they had
suddenly vanished.
VARON escorts CHRISTA to a small cafe serving tea and
pastries. The waitress was taking their orders. She comes
back with their food and drinks, before VARON sees CHRISTA
admiring the scenery.
They had vines of tall plants surrounding the walls. The air
was filled with the scent of sweets and the aroma of tea
leaves simmering in hot water. The air was crisp but fresh.
Walls were adorned with paintings that symbolized history.
CHRISTA
Thank you for treating me.
VARON
Anytime, Christa. I want you to
enjoy yourself today.
CHRISTA
But Varon. We can’t. Don’t we have
the Maidens of Virtue to save?
VARON
We can’t save anyone if we don’t
yet have all of the answers. Which
is why we’re exploring today.
Gathering clues.
He takes a sip of the tea.
VARON (CONT’D)
And besides. The princess is doing
research as we speak.
CHRISTA looks next to her and sees the map of Verenia.
CHRISTA
Is this where we are?
VARON notices and nods.
VARON
Yes. This is the castle in the
town. And as you can see, the
forest is here, the Realm of Omeni
here, and Dun Irma here.
He pointed to each map.
VARON (CONT’D)
Then Spara is all the way here.
CHRISTA
So where is Demetrius?
VARON
We don’t know.
He checks around to see if anyone is listening before leaning
over.
VARON (CONT’D)
The Scourge King pops up in the
shadows. What I do know is that
Sefredina is harboring him.
Possibly in Aurelia.
CHRISTA looks back at the map and sees a faded castle
structure to the east of where they’re standing. She focused
on it.
VARON (CONT’D)
But nevermind about that. We’ll
catch them eventually.
They began to quickly eat. VARON sees the waitress and gives
her a few gold coins. She thanked him before leading CHRISTA
to the exit. As CHRISTA looks up, she nearly screams as she
notices a shadow staring at her and then pulls back.
VARON moved in front of her and took out his sword. It singed
in the air. VARON looked left and right.
VARON (CONT’D)
Stay here!
CHRISTA listened as VARON moved forward to see if he could
find the shadow. It merged with the large ones from the
buildings. Making it difficult for VARON to see. He growls.
VARON (CONT’D)
Dang it. Just what is needed.
He moves backwards before turning around and watching for
oncoming traffic before rushing towards CHRISTA.
CHRISTA
What the heck is going on?
VARON
We’re being watched.

Urgent Summons at Castle Verenia
INT. CASTLE VERENIA - DAY
When VARON and CHRISTA returned. PRIMA, PRINCESS ELIANA’s
attendant, came rushing to them.
CHRISTA
Lady Prima?
PRIMA
Lady Christa, Sir Varon! We need
you in the meeting room at once.
They made it to the meeting room. PRINCESS ELIANA was there
waiting as she spoke to a general about something.
PRINCESS ELIANA
You are dismissed.
The general bowed, then walked away, noticing VARON eyeing
the situation. He wasn’t too sure about what happened. But
CHRISTA felt it was dire enough for the princess to call
them.
VARON
You called for us, princess?
PRINCESS ELIANA
I have. Please have a seat, Varon
and Christa.
VARON and CHRISTA took a seat next to each other.
CHRISTA
Is there some bad news?
PRINCESS ELIANA
I’m afraid there are some. There
have been reports of crops and
livestock dying off without a
direct cause. Especially in
Dannasa.
CHRISTA
Dannasa?!
VARON
No...
PRIMA frowned as the princess continued to speak.
PRINCESS ELIANA
Yes. It may soon spread if nothing
is done.
CHRISTA began to think of DEMETRIUS, the SCOURGE KING. His
cunning, maniacal laughter. Sleek black hair, menacing eyes.
Looked like he found the fountain of youth, as he was (37),
looking ten years younger. It began to bother her.
CHRISTA
How long ago did this happen?
PRINCESS ELIANA was shocked at her question.
PRINCESS ELIANA
About three weeks ago, in
succession.
CHRISTA
And there haven’t been any other
leads?
PRINCESS ELIANA
None so far. My father, the king,
is growing wary and fears that it
may come here. We don’t know if
it’s just a bug of some kind or...
CHRISTA got up.
CHRISTA
Varon? Let’s head over to Dannasa.
VARON widened his eyes at her, noticing that she was taking
charge. But nodded.

A Night of Reassurance
INT. WINFORD INN, DANNASA - DAY
VARON halts his horse ESTELLA, as CHRISTA slides herself off
first before VARON comes down behind her. The town was small,
rich with farmland towards the Daskan Forest.
VARON notices the Innkeeper is wiping down the tables, and
his assistant welcomes them.
VARON
We need two beds, one preferably
next to the other.
After they got their rooms, VARON and CHRISTA made it
upstairs and were shocked at how well-maintained everything
was. They were given a modest room.
CHRISTA
Is this okay?
VARON
I’m in the next room connected to
it. It’s a special kind of Inn that
only a few places in Verenia have.
I think. Northaway Verre,
Castletown, and here.
CHRISTA sets down the backpack and opens the window to let
the room breathe. It was summer in Verenia. As they can see
the rest of the town and parts of the Daskan Forest further
up.
VARON (CONT’D)
Do you like it?
CHRISTA
It’s beautiful.
VARON
Well, we get to spend a day or two
here. So enjoy it while you can.
CHRISTA removed her cardigan, hung it behind the door, and
took off her sneakers. VARON notices her, then does the same,
removing his weapons and placing them in his room.
When CHRISTA comes out, she sees VARON. He turns around, and
she tries to hide it.
VARON (CONT’D)
Christa...
He extends his hands and invites her to come into his room.
CHRISTA came in and was shocked to see how it looked. Similar
to her’s. He was in his white tunic and had her come sit
down.
CHRISTA
Varon. What if we can’t find
Demetrius?
VARON
Why would you think that? We’ve got
to find him! We will! I know so.
CHRISTA was looking unsure.
VARON (CONT’D)
Why? Do you believe that something
else happened?
CHRISTA
I sometimes wonder what this means
for us in the meantime.
VARON
Well, for starters. We have to
investigate everything. There is no
point in not understanding what
needs to be done if we don’t even
try.
CHRISTA
I know that. But with everything
that has happened. I am scared that
we won’t be able to defeat him.
VARON
You may have a point. But we have
something stronger.
VARON takes CHRISTA’s hand in his.
VARON (CONT’D)
Our bond.
That night. VARON became nervous as he watched over CHRISTA
sleep. He noticed a falling star in the sky and let out a
soft gasp.
CHRISTA
Varon...
VARON came towards CHRISTA’s side.
CHRISTA (CONT’D)
Do you think we will be able to
find out more about Demetrius soon?
VARON
Christa. I told you before. Yes.
CHRISTA
I’m sorry, I just feel entirely
stressed about the situation, and
it’s getting me into a panic.
A low boom was heard. VARON and CHRISTA froze. They looked to
the window and saw flashes in the air.
CHRISTA (CONT’D)
And what is with these storms?
VARON
It’s summer now, Christa. There are
going to be storms.
She looked around, and suddenly they sensed something was off
as the chandelier began to move. CHRISTA began to pale.
CHRISTA
Please don’t tell me that a tornado
is about to come.
VARON
A tornado?
He paused for a moment.
CHRISTA
Well?! Does the air feel stiff, or
has it changed direction?!
VARON felt the window and looked outside as the townsfolk
hurried below. They were on the second level. He shook his
head.
VARON
No. Sounds like a passing storm.
I’ll close your window.
He said, gathering the twin panes and closing them shut.

Whispers of the Scourge
INT. DANNASA - DAY
The very next day, CHRISTA and VARON visited JACAIS
livestock. He was happy to see him, since his son, ANCIAN,
was in school nearby at the moment. It has been weeks since
CHRISTA saw him.
JACAIS
Well, I’ll be! This has to be a
blessing to see you two together at
last.
CHRISTA blushed at the thought as VARON chuckled.
VARON
Well, we’re not together...yet.
He spoke with a tease at the end.
CHRISTA
We’re not together at all!
JACAIS
In any case, it is good to see you,
Varon. And you too, Christa.
They made it to see the farm animals. CHRISTA was stunned by
them.
VARON
Tell us what happened to Robert’s
farm?
JACAIS took a sip of his ale.
JACAIS
It was in the middle of the night.
Tony was walking by with his two
hunting dogs when they suddenly
barked for no apparent reason. Then
the next thing you know, they saw
blood. Like something got mauled.
VARON widened his eyes.
VARON
Could it be Moonwolves?
JACAIS
Moonwolves? Them creatures? Hardly
doubt it. Nobody’s seen them in
years.
VARON
Today could be a start. Especially
since last night’s storm.
He said, getting up and going over to CHRISTA. She turns
around to see him as he comes over to her.
CHRISTA
Let me guess. There are more
problems?
VARON
It’s a good thing we came here.
He spoke confidently. CHRISTA slaps her head and begins to
shake it.
CHRISTA
Oh! This just gets creepier and
weirder by the day.
She began to pace, trying to figure out what was happening.
Then she stops pacing when she hears horses approaching.
VARON looks suspiciously as the village men come on
horseback. They stopped in front of them.
JACAIS whispers to CHRISTA.
JACAIS
Stay here, and let Varon and me
handle this.
VARON
State your business.
CYAN
Are you Sir Varon of the Daskan
Forest?
VARON
That depends on who wants to know.
CYAN
The name is Cyan. I am one of the
watchmen here in Dannasa. And these
are my men.
CHRISTA eyes the men behind him, then back to CYAN.
CYAN (CONT’D)
I have a strange feeling that
something bad has happened
recently. The Scourge King is said
to have risen. Is it true?
VARON now sighed heavily as if he was imparting something
grave.
VARON
Yes.
CYAN
I see. So the rumors are true,
then.
JACAIS
What news do you bring from the
village of Kai?
VILLAGER
The same thing. Nobody understands
why their livestock have suddenly
suffered. Some are sick.
VARON
As is the forest...
CYAN
What?
VARON suddenly paused, not wanting to express much. CYAN
looks up as the sky begins to darken.
VARON
This battle...has only just begun.

noticed DEMETRIUS.
SEFREDINA

DEMETRIUS smirked at her as he stepped forward.
DEMETRIUS/SCOURGE KING
You call me by my true name. Have

SEFREDINA
Yes. All except Adelaide of
Laelidon, Princess Eliana...
DEMETRIUS/SCOURGE KING

And my other girl...
The snowstorm outside of her tower began to brew. She looked
outside and felt a shift in the air.
DEMETRIUS/SCOURGE KING (CONT’D)
My plans are simple. Defeat Varon,
retrieve Christa, and steal the Key
to Nova. But you will be the one
handling Theodore.
THEODORE was still trying to sneak his way out. He avoided
capture from the guards as they looked for him. The other
humans were mourning. He was in a tunnel, trying to crawl his
way out.
THEODORE
If only I could reach Christa. If
it’s true that she is with the Hero
of Legend. Then, Demetrius has some
work cut out for him.
He hears a loud boom outside. He wondered what it was. He
thanked God it wasn’t an earthquake.
THEODORE (CONT’D)
Gah! This place reeks!
He suddenly found an opening and began climbing his way out.
It was dark, musky, and smelled of monster flesh. He froze as
he didn’t know what else to do.
THEODORE (CONT’D)
Richard. I hope you know what mess
you placed your daughter into.

INT. CASTLE VERENIA - DAY
LORD ROHN, LORD EDWINDO, and FRIER YOSEF came for a meeting
with KING AMALDUS III.
LORD EDWINDO
Sire. It has been about a month
since we last convened.
KING AMALDUS III
Aye. That it has. Now, tell me the
details.
FRIER YOSEF
Since the monster attacks began,
things have grown eerie in parts of
Verenia. However, I believe thanks
to that girl and the young knight,
we finally have an edge.
LORD ROHN
I have a question. When do we begin
the mobilization of the Verenian
army? I already have my men
prepared to join, when necessary.
KING AMALDUS III
We are doing all we can to prevent
a war. But my men are training.
The men are training at the training camp. Some are using
swords, spears, bows, and arrows; others have taken a
sledgehammer and begun pounding into the ground and makeshift
enemies.
The Realm of Omeni, PRINCE JERMER was preparing his men for
war as well. The soldiers, colored in blue and white paint on
their bodies, howled and lifted up their swords and spears.
The soldiers from Dun Irma Mountain, the volcano, donned fire
armor and even swords that seemed to glow as the flames
themselves.
In the Daskan Forest, ERNARD stood watch as he saw the men
preparing to shoot using their bows. They were aiming at
their targets. Each once landing a mark.
KING AMALDUS III (CONT’D)
When her people raise an army, you
can bet that we will fight to
defend her at all costs!
LORD EDWINDO smiled and nodded in agreement.
LORD ROHN
And what of Sir Varon and his lady
companion?
KING AMALDUS III
They are on a mission right now.
And should return within the hour.
As KING AMALDUS spoke, VARON rode ESTELLA into the gates.
CHRISTA was happy to have gotten back.
CHRISTA
Finally! I want to take a quick nap
and eat lunch! Scratch that. I want

Urgency in the Garden
INT. CHRISTA'S ROOM - DAY
CHRISTA began to look through the manuscript that her father,
RICHARD, had given her. She began to read about their next
destination. Laelidon. A place that was northwest. A town
that TIPPI came from.
CHRISTA
I keep thinking about Theodore. He
has to be...alive.
She looked around her room, as if it was going to be the last
time she was going to see it.
CHRISTA (CONT’D)
I have to help Varon till the end,
no matter what.
She closed the book, knowing that there was more to the story
than this. She lies on the bed, looking up at the ceiling.
CHRISTA (CONT’D)
Mom...Dad.
Flashbacks of her childhood and her friends, ERICA, TOBY, and
ORELL, back on Earth plague her mind. Until VARON also showed
up. Causing her to be startled. She blushed when she saw his
face in her head. She shakes it, trying to stop it.
CHRISTA (CONT’D)
I can’t fall for Varon. Crushing on
some guy from another world was not
part of the plan.
She gets up and opens the door. Now wanting to walk in the
hallway.
CHRISTA (CONT’D)
As long as no soldiers get tight
about me being out here. I’m
golden.
VARON
Yeah, but then you have me to think
about.
VARON startled her from behind as she yelped in fright.
CHRISTA
The heck is wrong with you?!
VARON
More like I am so glad I became
your protector, so you won’t go
sneaking off.
CHRISTA
I can handle myself!
VARON
More like you have a bad habit of
thinking you can handle all of it
by yourself.
She stuck her tongue out at him playfully, and he shook his
head.
VARON (CONT’D)
Come. Tippi is waiting for us at
the gardens.
In the castle garden, Tippi was on a leaf of a planet and
began to relax on it. Letting the sun hit her. VARON and
CHRISTA search for her.
CHRISTA
Tippi?
VARON
Tippi! Come out!
TIPPI sighed in annoyance and revealed her location. She was
three inches tall, about the size of a faerie with no wings.
VARON (CONT’D)
Finally! I thought we would have to
go on a goose chase with you.
TIPPI
I told you I would be right here in
the same spot! Agh!
VARON shuddered at the thought of his mistake.
VARON
Oops. Sorry.
CHRISTA
Tippi! Do you have any idea what
comes next?
TIPPI
Did you two think about heading
over to Laelidon yet?
VARON suddenly shook as his hands got sweaty.
CHRISTA
More like we are still debating
when to go.
TIPPI
Debating on when to go?!
Suddenly, she used her power to glow and floated up to
CHRISTA.
TIPPI (CONT’D)
Have you two lost your minds?! This
is a war! We can’t afford to be
sitting ducks out here!
VARON
And what are we supposed to do if
we cannot even enter Laelidon the
way we want to?
TIPPI
It’s not that hard, dumb belt!
CHRISTA stepped into the middle of their argument, hoping to
calm the situation before it escalated.
CHRISTA
Okay. Calm down, Tippi. The only
reason we haven’t started yet is
that we didn’t have many leads. Now
we do.
TIPPI
So, let’s go then.

ELIANA was concerned, not knowing whether they were yet
prepared to travel. She decided to talk to them before they
left. It was outside the gates.
PRINCESS ELIANA
Christa? Can I speak to you
privately?
CHRISTA was about to mount ESTELLA, but looked up at VARON.
He nods before CHRISTA walks calmly with the princess.
TIPPI
What do you think that is about?
VARON
Don’t know.
PRINCESS ELIANA drags CHRISTA with her and had a worried
expression.
CHRISTA
Princess? What is wrong?
PRINCESS ELIANA
I sense that something odd may
happen today. I don’t know what it
is exactly. But I fear for your
safety.
CHRISTA
Are you sure about that?
PRINCESS ELIANA
Would I ever lie to you?
CHRISTA shakes her head.

No. I wouldn’t believe that you
would actively lie. Princess...
PRINCESS ELIANA
Just call me Eliana. It’s okay.
CHRISTA was shocked.
CHRISTA
Okay. Eliana. I just believe that
today is a good day. I may even
find a way home soon.
PRINCESS ELIANA
But that is the entire point,
Christa. Home may come with a price
to pay. The question is, are you
willing to pay for it?

Another gem hidden in the inn was somehow found, and VARON
suddenly learned that it was used for super strength. He
wanted to test it out.
CHRISTA, TIPPI & ADELAIDE
(simultaneously)
No!
VARON
Kidding, kidding...
The girls all sigh in relief.
CHRISTA
So, Adelaide? What makes you want
to leave your father's inn?
ADELAIDE
I dream of adventure. I yearn for
love, but I haven't found anyone.
Most men today are worried only
about themselves, and all I wanted
to do was leave and bring back my
dad some grandchildren.
CHRISTA
Varon's available.
VARON
What?!
ADELAIDE
I thought you two were together.
VARON
We are!
CHRISTA
We are not!
TIPPI
Don't bother asking those two. They
don't even know what to do. Haven't
even ki--mmm!
TIPPI had her mouth covered as VARON went for her. ADELAIDE'S
FATHER yells from below. VARON, and the girls' heads down
stars as SEPRENT-MEN burst in and eyed them all until their
leader spoke.
SERPENT-MAN
Get...them.
A battle ensued as VARON defended the inn from the inside
out. ADELAIDE subconsciously protects her unconscious father.
CHRISTA places TIPPI upstairs before rushing back, grabbing a
vase, and smashing it on one of the serpent-men's heads.
Angry, it tries to attack CHRISTA, until VARON thrusts his
sword through it. It dies. More came in as the leader
directed the attack.
VARON
Christa, hide!
CHRISTA listened as the battle got bloody. After long minutes
of this fight, VARON was successful. All of the serpent-men
are dead. After the battle, VARON helps with ADELAIDE'S
father.
She leaps to hug him, causing Christa distress, and leaves
feeling embarrassed. VARON notices, fearing what it looked to
her.
CHRISTA was upstairs upset. She wiped away tears as she
thought back to earlier. She heard a knock on the door. She
knew it was VARON.
VARON (CONT’D)
Christa? May I come in?
CHRISTA suddenly slipped under the covers and tried to
pretend she was asleep. He opens the door to peek inside. He
comes to see her.
VARON (CONT’D)
Christa. I know your awake.
She mentally grew as she tried to avoid him.
VARON (CONT’D)
Look. Nothing went on between
Adelaide and me.
CHRISTA
It doesn’t matter. It’s not my
business.
VARON
Christa. You can’t possibly believe
that I am going to fall for her
over you.
CHRISTA
I don’t care, Varon.
VARON
Yes, you do. Now come on from under
the covers.
Then CHRISTA came out and looked at VARON sternly.
VARON (CONT’D)
That battle isn’t over. “This war
had only started. Demetrius
probably sent these hoards to come
after us. Now it’s a goose chase…
CHRISTA
What am I to do then?
VARON
Stay hidden.
CHRISTA
But what if I can’t?
Then VARON looks to her determinedly.
VARON
Then you fight until you have none
left. I already taught as many
basics as I could.
But suddenly the sky grows dark. The fog from Apolesia
Mountain is tumbling down. The town is suddenly evacuating,
as did CHRISTA, VARON, TIPPI, and ADELAIDE with her father.
Thunder roars in the distance, accompanied by strange
laughter.
VARON (CONT’D)
There is no doubt. It's
Demetrius...
CHRISTA
What should we do? Where do we go?
VARON eyes CHRISTA determinedly.
VARON
You read the manuscript. We must
find the next jewel. Hidden in
Spara. The desert is not too far
from here.
The fog suddenly stops, landing at the foot of the mountain.

Desert Confrontation
EXT. SPARA DESERT - DAY
VARON and CHRISTA are riding on ESTELLA in a vast desert. It
is hot. But they remember what happened days prior. A war is
starting.
CHRISTA attempts to tuck in her shirt, but VARON protests,
warning her it’s immodest to do so there.
Suddenly, they encounter a group of tribal people emerging at
a rapid pace. They get off of ESTELLA. They were surrounded.
The desert tribe led by a teenage princess, KITA-KINA.
She removes her tribal mask, eyes piercing and menacing.
KITA-KINA
You two...What are you doing here
in Spara!? I am Kita-Kina of the
desert!
KITA-KINA goes to VARON and CHRISTA's faces individually. Her
scare tactics are working. She turns to her guards.
KITA- KINA
Take them to the dungeons!

Escape from the Spara Dungeons
INT. SPARA DUNGEONS - DAY
VARON & CHRISTA are trapped in their cells opposite each
other, guarded by female guards.
KITA-KINA
Ever since you both crossed the
desert, the sky has grown dark, and
the winds are still. The poisonous
fog of Apolesia mountain has
descended...rolling down its steep
hills as a blanket of despair! An
omen of death hangs over us.
KITA-KINA grabs CHRISTA by the collar, and the key hangs from
her neck. KITA-KINA glides her fingers across the metal.
KITA- KINA
And she. It is her arrival that had
tipped the scales of destiny.
KITA-KINA yanks the Key to Nova from CHRISTA's neck and
pushes her back. CHRISTA fell with a thump. VARON's eyes
widen in a flash of shock and anger.
VARON
CHRISTA!
VARON suddenly awakened his powers. He concentrated as he
did, a cry building while it was still a whisper. Causing the
whole room to shake. KITA-KINA was shocked with worry until
VARON busted the cells open. KITA-KINA and the other ran.
But one woman soldier was twirling her pole weapon with ease
and attacked him. He dodges and does backflips. Side wiped
the woman unconscious before gathering his weapons in a
cupboard.
VARON (CONT’D)
(tsked)
That was easy! If only they hid my
weapons somewhere secret in the
city. Then I would be having a
field day finding it!
VARON grabs the keys to the dungeon cells and unlocks
CHRISTA's cell. He opens the gate and takes her into his
arms. Breathing into her hair, he whispers...
VARON (CONT’D)
Shh...it's okay, Christa. You're
safe now.
CHRISTA suddenly pushed him back and slapped VARON across the
face. VARON began to whine.
VARON (CONT’D)
WHAT?!
CHRISTA
WHAT?! You want to know WHAT? That
little hussy stole my key!
VARON and CHRISTA are trying to escape, but they are stuck
between the female patrolling guards. CHRISTA gasped, and
then VARON covered her mouth.
He signals with his finger to his lips to remain quiet, and
then points to the crates scattered around.
He signals again for her to wait as he dispatches the guards.
Two more guards notice something is off and see the
unconscious guards. Suspicion is evident on their faces.
VARON takes this opportunity to reveal himself with arms
open, sword in hand. Mockingly, he says...
VARON
What? Come and get me...
He smirks. The female guards let out war cries as they pursue
him. VARON handles them with blatant ease. But then the male
guards show up holding Arabian-like swords and spears.
CHRISTA
Oh s--
VARON
Christa... Get up and RUN!
VARON grabs her as they make their escape. The tunnel began
to shed dirt, as if an earthquake had started. But as they
enter the outside. They see many stone paths and bridges as
if each opening leads to another tunnel.
The guards sounded the alarm as VARON and CHRISTA kept
dodging arrows. VARON climbs down a crate and guides CHRISTA
down. They resume running.
MALE SPARAN GUARD
Get the little pests! Don't let
them escape!
The SPARAN guards muttered profanities and threw spears at
VARON and CHRISTA, basically missing each one.
VARON
There! In the tunnel, quick!
As they picked up speed, VARON and CHRISTA disappeared into
the tunnel and vanished into the shadows in a cloud of dust
left behind. The guards gave up the chase, worry and dread
etched on their faces.
MALE SPARAN GUARD
(spits on the ground)
Let the beast handle them...
They'll die before they even think
of escaping.
VARON and CHRISTA are in the tunnel, catching their breath.
VARON suddenly startled, chuckling. CHRISTA looks at him like
he is crazy.
CHRISTA
What the hell is wrong with you?!
Are you crazy or something!
VARON
Oh, come on, Christa! You mean to
tell me the thirst of adventure...
Being chased down by an angry mob
of guards didn't excite you not one
bit?
CHRISTA
(snorts)
Hardly! That was suicide. You could
have gotten us all killed! I
thought that you were gonna--
VARON's demeanor changes, and he begins to tease CHRISTA in a
romantic and flirty manner. His lips formed a smile.
VARON
--What? Are you worried about me?
CHRISTA inches back in shock, and her back hits against the
wall.
VARON (CONT’D)
Well? Are you?
CHRISTA
W-What are you doing?
VARON
What do you think? I think that
you're just hiding this attraction
thing from me. Secretly desiring
you could have me... I just want
the truth, Christa. How do you
REALLY feel about me? Is it just
being friends?
He said suddenly while reaching her face and trying to close
the gap, but gave her space. He looked into her eyes.
VARON (CONT’D)
I can't help but come to your
response with you feeling scared.
And your worries are for my own
sake. But why hide your feelings
for me? This is the first time I've
ever pursued someone, but a girl
from another world?
He whispered, this time inching towards CHRISTA's face; his
eyes closing, leaning towards her own body, his lips brushing
her lips.
VARON (CONT’D)
You mean this entire time, you
never once thought of me?
He calmly takes her hands and places them towards his heart,
pressing them to his chest as he breathes.
CHRISTA
I just want to go home.
VARON
I know you do. And someday you will
go home. But for this moment... if
only you would hope to try. Can
destiny be willing for such a
possibility? Like Veron and Serena?
Or maybe... just my desire to
fulfill a hopeless lost... but now,
found?
CHRISTA
It's just a coincidence.
VARON
It's not a coincidence! I can feel
it in my bones. It's just you
fighting destiny! We can belong to
each other! Do you not want me?
Because, deep down, I think you
actually do want to.
Suddenly, CHRISTA takes his shirt, and VARON sighs in
contentment.
CHRISTA
Get a hold of yourself, Varon! I am
not Serena. I am just Christa
Malone. A girl whom you just met
about a month ago. No more than
that.
VARON then tenderly looks at her.
VARON
I know that you are not Serena,
Christa. But just because you’re
not her. It doesn’t mean that you
and I cannot be together someday,
right? I know you feel the same way
about me.
CHRISTA
Even if I did, Varon. I like you. I
do. It’s just that...
VARON
You need more time for me. I would
never force you into something you
don’t want.
Varon then moved away.
VARON (CONT’D)
Someday, Christa...you and I will
be...
They heard a sound and then quickly ran out of the cave.
VARON grabs CHRISTA's hand as they rush out. A giant snake
was in the cave chasing them, but only VARON knew.
He guided CHRISTA to an opening, and they leapt into the lake
below.
As CHRISTA comes up with VARON, she looks up and screams for
dear life. He tries covering her mouth. But she screams
further.
CHRISTA
It's a giant snake! It's a
GIANT...SNAKE! Oh God help, it's a
giant...snake...!
KITA-KINA was rushing to get away. She heard the news that
the SCOURGE KING was around, and she ran over to meet him so
she could finally set her people free.
KITA-KINA
I have to get this key over to the
man.
She tripped and nearly dropped the Key. She gasped and stared
at it. The moment she saw VARON's power, her body shook. She
even heard that he took down some of her best soldiers.
SCOURGE KING (O.S.)
So, they were foolish enough to go
in there. No doubt they have
crossed the jungle and retrieved
the jewel at the temple.
She gasped as the Scourge King revealed himself in black
smoke and looked at KITA-KINA.
KITA-KINA
S-Scourge King...
SCOURGE KING
Now, Kita-Kina, I see that you have
brought the key. Now, let me see
it.
He said, offering his left hand to take it. She grasps the
key to her chest as if it were protective of her and then
slowly starts to hand it to him. He took the necklace and
examined it, feeling a sense of glee at finally having it.
Then he gasped and started seething.
SCOURGE KING (CONT’D)
What the hell, it's dulled!

Escape from the Spara Temple
INT. SPARA TEMPLE - BOSS ROOM - DAY
VARON and CHRISTA are caught in some type of monster battle.
They are trapped in a room, with propellers spinning in
different directions, monkeys banging on drums to a
compelling, ancient music.
CHRISTA
Varon! You're the one with
superpowers, right? Get us outta
here!
VARON
Oh sure! Like it's that freaking
easy, Christa!
He says, slashing down the monster as he uses the fire gem he
obtained from Dun Irma. Varon began to glow red, smirking.
VARON (CONT’D)
Now this is more like it!
He began to attack it with fire, burning the monkey-like
monster. The monster had wailed in pain, before turning black
and into ashes.
CHRISTA
You did it...
VARON turns around to look at CHRISTA and gives her a tender
smile. Soon, they had found the jewel for Spara, and VARON
took it as it hovered down to VARON’s hands.
CHRISTA (CONT’D)
So, how do we get...
CHRISTA didn’t get a chance to say anything as light streams
came from below them, and suddenly VARON and CHRISTA were
vanishing in the light, now being transported out of the
temple.
When they landed, they were outside the jungle.

Into the Shadows: The Quest for the Sword of Destiny
INT. SPARA JUNGLE - DAY
VARON and CHRISTA had decided to make a camp after their
ordeal in the jungle. She can hear the mosquitoes around, and
that annoys her.
CHRISTA
Yuck. I can’t stand them.
VARON
What bugs? Gonna have to get used
to it.
CHRISTA
I should have brought the bug
spray!
She started feeling itchy and began scratching her arms.VARON
chuckled at this until he smacked a bug away from him.
VARON
I’m going to hunt for some fish and
vegetables.
Then he pointed to a group of normal-looking mushrooms.
VARON (CONT’D)
Those mushrooms we can eat.
CHRISTA
How do you know that?
VARON
I have experience out in the field.
CHRISTA began picking mushrooms as VARON got ready to hunt
for fish. The tent is already perched. Hours later. They
began talking while eating, uncertain what the future holds.
CHRISTA
I can’t believe that Kita-Kina
stole my key.
VARON
The key is important. We have to be
careful so we can get it back!
CHRISTA had a cup of stew that VARON made with the
ingredients he had. Fresh meat he hunted in between the days.
She was surprised that the food didn’t taste raw.
CHRISTA
This is amazing.
VARON
Really? Does it taste good?
CHRISTA
You are a chef of the wildness! How
did you learn how to cook like
this?
VARON
I learned it from Aonghus. He
taught me how to make stuff as well
as TIPPI.
CHRISTA then remembered that TIPPI said she was heading back
to Castle Verenia to inform them of what happened.
PRINCESS ELIANA (V.O.)
This cannot be.
Back at the castle, in the meeting room. TIPPI was speaking
to PRINCESS ELIANA.
TIPPI
It’s true. The fog descended down
from the mountain. We witnessed it
ourselves.
PRINCESS ELIANA
Then this is an emergency. We have
to alert my father!
They go to the throne room where KING AMALDUS III was.
PRINCESS ELIANA (CONT’D)
Father! The fog of the north. It
came down.
KING AMALDUS’s eyes widened in shock.
KING AMALDUS III
How can this happen?
TIPPI
The Scourge King is moving.
KING AMALDUS III
I see. So the demon had made a
move.
He gets up from his seat.
KING AMALDUS III (CONT’D)
And what of Varon and Lady Christa?
TIPPI
They have gone on to Spara alone.
PRINCESS ELIANA
Alone?!
The Princess was in shock.
TIPPI
I had no choice.
CHRISTA (V.O.)
Will we be able to do something
about it tomorrow?
VARON
Oh, I have a feeling we will see
that princess again.
He finished the rest of his stew and began placing the bowl
down. He pulled out his family locket. It held the photo of
his parents and himself when he was but a baby.
VARON (CONT’D)
When the time is right. We’ll make
it to the city tomorrow at dawn.
CHRISTA
I hope you understand that you
barely had any rest or recovery.
VARON groaned as if he were in trouble.
CHRISTA (CONT’D)
Had you even used the healing gem?
VARON
No? But I’ll use it when I need to.
I’m going to keep watch for a few
hours. You should try to get some
rest.
CHRISTA looked around, nodded, finished her own fish, and
began to gather herself. They heard rustling in the trees and
quickly turned toward the noise.
CHRISTA
Please let it not be something.
VARON took out his slingshot and aimed in the same direction.
He released it, and soon they saw an animal had moved from
that spot. CHRISTA yelped.
VARON
It was nothing. Just wildlife.
That night. VARON kept watch as he promised. He looked over
CHRISTA as she was heading into the tent. She turned to VARON
as he looked at her. Then, before she went to bed.
CHRISTA
Good night. Varon.
She spoke and then went inside the tent.
VARON
Good night to you, too. Christa
Malone.
He whispers the last part to himself.
The next day, after VARON and CHRISTA camp out in the jungle,
they lead to Bazarrah city. KITA-KINA is waiting for them
through the desert, and VARON and CHRISTA confront her. She
shows them the Key to Nova.
KITA-KINA
The Key to Nova. The beacon of
hope... In the possession of an
outsider to our world?
CHRISTA
The key...
Suddenly, DEMETRIUS shows up in a cloud of smoke behind them
and knocks VARON out of the way.
CHRISTA (CONT’D)
Varon?!
CHRISTA gets knocked out as well. VARON awakens but is back
at CASTLE VERENIA. PRINCESS ELIANA, TIPPI, and AONGHUS are
there.
PRINCESS ELIANA
Varon.
VARON
Princess... Christa... Where is
she!?
TIPPI
The Scourge King took her. I found
you unconscious in the desert. I
saw them take a girl. She had the
key...
VARON
Princess Kita-Kina? Why would this
happen?
AONGHUS
They have begun Varon. The
gathering of the Maidens of Virtue.
You can bet that Christa is one of
them.
VARON
Then we must get it. The Sword of
Destiny. And get Christa back!
In the SACRED WOODS of the DASKAN FOREST, where the Sword of
Destiny rests. VARON goes up to the pedestal and grabs the
sword. He begins to lift it, struggling.
VARON (CONT’D)
This is for you...
The jewels he gathered materialized above him. Signifying his
right to retrieve the sword.
VARON (CONT’D)
Christa!
The sword glows, and VARON removes it. Fog clears as the
power from it pushes it back. Birds fly away, and the trees
respond.
PRINCESS ELIANA
You did it.
VARON smiles at her.
VARON
That I have...princess. Now. Let's
go save Christa!
VARON sheathed the sword back into the pedestal and turned it
like a key. The world began to warp around them as suddenly
they were transported to the dark version of Verenia. It was
there that they saw the Dark Castle.
PRINCESS ELIANA
Another time...
VARON
...in a faraway place.

Heartbreak in the Throne Room
INT. DARK CASTLE - NIGHT
AONGHUS is opening the towering doors. Thunder was outside.
They begin to enter slowly, and they enter the throne room,
where the SCOURGE KING awaits them.
The Maidens of Virtue are trapped in crystals behind him. But
CHRISTA is nowhere to be found. PRINCESS ELIANA and TIPPI
gasp.
TIPPI
Oh no!
PRINCESS ELIANA
This is a nightmare beyond anyone's
wildest dreams.
The SCOURGE KING spreads his arms in a mocking welcome.
SCOURGE KING
Welcome to your doom! Witness
before you now...the Maidens of
Virtue. Destined to stop me by
aiding in the awakening of the
legendary hero. But who says that
it has to happen when they can be
used for my cause?
VARON
Bastard...what have you done to
Christa Malone?! Release the girl
to me... Now...
SCOURGE KING
(raised a brow)
Or what, boy? You may be the
reincarnation of Veron. But you're
still just a lad who grew up alone
with the children of the forests!
VARON takes out the Sword of Destiny.
SCOURGE KING (CONT’D)
What? The Sword of Destiny?!
AONGHUS unsheathes his weapon as does PRINCESS ELIANA.
AONGHUS
Varon! Eliana! Go! Find Christa!
I'll sever his throat.
SCOURGE KING
If it isn't Aonghus Evenshire V!
Care to dance with death?
AONGHUS
It is ye who shall yield to the
blade of righteousness!
AONGHUS began his duel with the SCOURGE KING, while VARON,
TIPPI, and PRINCESS ELIANA escaped to the second floor and
eventually found CHRISTA unconscious in a coma-like state on
a bed. VARON and the others gasp.
VARON
Christa! Awake my heart... PLEASE!
SHADOW VARON'S dark chuckle is echoed in the room. And a dark
shadow hovers over CHRISTA on the roof before dropping to the
floor. A form appears from the ground, taking the shape of
the hero before them.
It was precisely like VARON but in a shadow form.
PRINCESS ELIANA
Impossible... A specter of
yourself?
VARON points to it with the Sword of Destiny. SHADOW VARON
taunts them, mainly VARON, by walking slowly towards
CHRISTA's body and caressing her face in mocking tenderness.
VARON
Shadow or no... He will release
Christa.
SHADOW VARON
Or you will what? You don't even
have the guts to kiss her
yet...hero.
VARON
Get your filthy hands off her.
SHADOW VARON
Make me. Coward!
SHADOW VARON attacks VARON in a duel, and they begin fighting
each other in the room. They began to scuffle, and swords
clashed in the hallway as PRINCESS ELIANA rushed over to
CHRISTA's side. TIPPI examines her.
PRINCESS ELIANA
Tippi?
TIPPI
The shadow...he must defeat it, and
she will awake.
PRINCESS ELIANA
Varon!
But before SHADOW VARON could do anything, VARON stabs him
through.
SHADOW VARON
Not...fair.
VARON goes up towards his face.
VARON
Be gone.
VARON delivers the final thrusts, and the shadow breaks down
and melts into the floor. CHRISTA gasps for air and awakens
as if her life had been returned to her. PRINCESS ELIANA hugs
her, and TIPPI wipes a tear.
VARON returns, showing relief. PRINCESS ELIANA gives them
space as VARON takes CHRISTA into his arms.
VARON (CONT’D)
Christa.
He murmurs near her ear tenderly.
VARON (CONT’D)
I will never let you go, my love...
PRINCESS ELIANA turns him around and shakes him madly.
PRINCESS ELIANA
Wake up, Varon! Aonghus needs us!
AONGHUS is battling the SCOURGE KING. He suddenly turns
around and gets stabbed through with the SCOURGE KING's long
sword. VARON, CHRISTA, TIPPI, and PRINCESS ELIANA get
downstairs.
CHRISTA'S eyes are full of dread and unshed tears, as AONGHUS
is cut down and VARON screams in horror.
VARON
Nooooo!
AONGHUS slowly sees the youths, and he gives a final smile...
AONGHUS
(coughs blood)
Fear not, lads...for this...is
not...the end. For if... the
legends are true. Then someday...I
will be...
AONGHUS falls to the ground dead. THE SCOURGE KING laughs
wickedly as he disappears in smoke. The gang rushes to
AONGHUS's dead body. VARON begins to cradle it.
Wailing and crying in tears. As the world warps them to the
throne room of Castle Verenia.
VARON
Aonghus... AONGHUS! No, no!
Aong...hus...
The doors burst open, showing knights, KING AMALDUS III,
FERDINA, and everyone gasping in shock.
SIR THOMAS CRATE
What on Nova has happened?!
KING AMALDUS III
Aonghus...has fallen.
They attempted to reach until VARON's eyes glowed, tears
streaming down his face.
VARON
Stay back! This shouldn't have
happened...This is all my fault!
CHRISTA began to shake in tears as the Key to Nova suddenly
hummed and ripples began to encircle her. Time began to call
her back to Earth. VARON turns around and places AONGHUS's
body down as he runs in dramatic motion to grab her.
VARON (CONT’D)
No! Christa! Please don't leave me
like this! We need each other, I
need you!
CHRISTA is being pulled into the shimmering lights and being
dragged back to our world. She reaches for his hand as VARON
does for her.
Their fingers grazing, until CHRISTA reaches further,
thinking she is grabbing him, but grips the locket by
accident, and it snaps from VARON's neck.
VARON gasps as CHRISTA is suddenly warped between the tunnel
of time and dumped unceremoniously onto the ground with a
thud.
ERICA (V.O.)
Christa...? CHRISTA?!
CHRISTA
E--Erica...
SUPER: WEEKS LATER...
SUMIKO
There is no doubt about it. It's

SUMIKO returns the locket to CHRISTA, who takes it with care.
SUMIKO was one of the researchers of the Japanese team that
worked with RICHARD. ERICA,(18) TOBY (17), and ORELL (19),
CHRISTA’s friends, were there with her.
RICHARD
Christa...I am so sorry. This is
all my fault...
After she explains her story to everybody, including her
mother, MADISON. They were in shock and disbelief.
TOBY
I can’t believe that you was on an
adventure like that, Christa.
CHRISTA
I didn’t know what to do. It was
scary.
RICHARD came to hug her calmly.
RICHARD
Well. It’s over now. You don’t have
to worry about it ever again.
CHRISTA wanted to believe that. But deep down in her heart,
she couldn’t.
KOCHI
But now we have to get Theo back.
CHRISTA
Dad! Theo is alive.
RICHARD
What?!
CHRISTA
It’s true. Demetrius and Sefredina
were the ones who did it!
ORELL
If that is true. Then he is still
trapped in Nova!
CHRISTA suddenly began coughing. But because of the transport
back to earth, her body felt weak. She was coughing up some
blood, and the nurses decided to take over.
ERICA
Christa!
MADISON held ERICA back.
MADISON
No. Let the nurses do their job.
As CHRISTA was taken care of. She looks at the ceiling of the
hospital bed, wondering about VARON. She knew that this was
the saddest thing she could think of. She began crying to
herself.

CHRISTA
For barging into your expedition

RICHARD
Stop. That situation was natural
for you to do.
He then came over towards her and hugged her.
RICHARD (CONT’D)
I hid the key from you and your

and then opens up the curtains in her room, staring at the
night sky.
CHRISTA (CONT’D)
Varon. Are you out there? Are you

sky, tear-streaked, yet his ocean eyes are full of hope.
