EXT. REALM OF OMENI - BORDERLANDS - DAY *
It was foggy, misty, yet ESTELLA isn't used to all of these
muddy waters.
CHRISTA
What is this place...? Varon...?
He kept a firm hold on her waist while looking around
suspiciously. Not like the energy that he keeps feeling.
Ominous. He held CHRISTA closer and eyed her before looking
behind them.
VARON
The gate that we passed on the way
here... It looks suspicious. So
sorry if I'm holding you like this.
However, I would like to ensure
that I can protect you better.
Because if something happens to
you, that would be the end of the
world here.
CHRISTA snorted at this. She finds it very hard to believe.
CHRISTA
Now you're joking...
VARON
I'm not. I meant it in both ways.
In literal and metaphorical. We
can't lose you, you're the key.
VARON whispered in her left ear hotly. Sending shivers down
her spine. Not because of his closeness, but because of the
severity of the situation. CHRISTA was thinking a lot. She
started to fall asleep on VARON.
CHRISTA begins to see the hidden catacombs. She is dreaming
and sees DEMETRIUS, with his gun, aimed at everyone present.
VARON arrives and rams DEMETRIUS out of the way. However, the
fight ended just as quickly.
CHRISTA screams an audible 'no.' VARON kicks the gun out of
the way and renders DEMETRIUS unconscious. Everybody cheered,
but CHRISTA caves and she fell on her knees, sobbing in her
hands.
The dream transitions to a field of flowers in the forest.
CHRISTA hears VARON singing in the distance, as he
mysteriously appears in front of her. He closes the gap and
takes her in a sway of a waltz.
VARON (SINGING VOICE)
...And suddenly, I must be dreaming-
-
Keeping, you
--inside my heart.
All the things that had me weep--
ing
Had wonderously disappeared.
Everything starts to get clearer
As I get nearer to the light
Shining bright-ly as I sing!
It was the aroma of flowers that had me in a daze. But
afterward, CHRISTA saw him almost glancing somewhere else,
and it was a hill amongst the trees enclosed. He pulled her
closer, and then my own breath started to get shallow.
DREAM VARON
Don't panic.
CHRISTA
V-V-Varon?
DREAM VARON
Yes... and no. It's okay.
CHRISTA
What do you mean, yes and no?
She began to feel nervous.
CHRISTA MALONE (V.O.)
This had to be Varon. If not. Who
was this guy pretending to be
Varon?!
DREAM VARON
Christa...You...just came here. I
know. But I must ask you an
important question.
Her heart raced. But VARON pulls away.
DREAM VARON
You're not ready for me yet...
CHRISTA
What?
DREAM VARON
I can't reveal too much. You'll
just run away from me! My heart--
why does it yearn for an outsider?
His voice is tender, and he wanted to cry. The wind picks up,
and the clouds form. Thunder began to brew. CHRISTA gasped.
Tears streaming down her face...
CHRISTA (V.O.)
Wait?! What if this isn't my dream
but his? Talk about psychology. I
have to unravel the mystery behind
his cryptic sentences.
DREAM VARON
You must understand Christa. My
heart, his heart, can only handle
so much. You yearn for home. I
truly sympathize. Yet, he doesn't
know how to handle your responses.
You tame my heart. Yet, hasn't he
not been able to tame yours yet?
CHRISTA
What does any of this have to do
with me and getting home?
DREAM VARON
Everything, Christa, everything.
CHRISTA
Where is Varon?
DREAM VARON grips her hand and holds her closer to him.
DREAM VARON
When the time comes, it will make
sense. You saw what power I am
capable of.
Then the ground began to crack as the wind grew stronger.
CHRISTA was getting scared now.
DREAM VARON
When you are scared...
The ground shook. Cracks began to form...
DREAM VARON
...When you feel like the whole
world is about to break...Just let
me promise you this--no matter your
decision... home or here...
VARON grips CHRISTA'S hand firmly.
DREAM VARON
I will protect you!
The ground finally collapsed underneath CHRISTA, and she
suddenly slipped from him.
CHRISTA
(echoed screams)
...Varon!
CHRISTA gasps and awakens from the dream, leaving VARON
startled.
VARON
Christa, are you okay! What
happened? You're dripping in sweat!

Escape to the Cave
EXT. ENTRANCE TO THE REALM OF OMENI - DAY
They passed a large gate with two enormous statues flanking
it.
VARON
Founders Gate...
VARON notices CHRISTA staring at him.
CHRISTA (V.O.)
Something feels off. What was that
dream? It felt so oddly intense and
romantic. Since when would...
VARON
(blushing)
Um, Christa? Why are you looking at
me like that?
CHRISTA
Oh! Oh, I'm sorry!
VARON
No, no, it's fine. I get it, but it
was HOW you looked at me that got
me nervous for a bit.
CHRISTA
I'm sorry...
VARON smiled and chuckled at the reaction.
VARON
Hey, relax, Christa. I just said
that it was okay...
CHRISTA
I didn't mean to stare; it was just
that he--you were-- singing and
then...
A recognition hit VARON. He suddenly blushed.
VARON
--Oh. Yeeeaaaahhh, about the
singing. I'm sorry about that.
CHRISTA
How are we to find the gem in a
place like this?
VARON
The book is clear. I'll have to
find it myself.
CHRISTA
Why is that?
VARON
Because this journey wasn't
supposed to be easy, Christa. It is
a battle to the death out here.
CHRISTA
Look, I didn't ask to be brought
into this,
VARON
Hey, I never said you were at
fault.
CHRISTA
It sure feels like it,
VARON
Welcome to my world...
Two Omenian guards stand sentinel, covered in war paint: blue
and white. VARON and CHRISTA looked at them suspiciously. On
ESTELLA, VARON inches slowly. He rushed forward to charge
them.
Arrows flew from the dense fog. The guards were prepared
until he guided ESTELLA onto a slide and forced her up,
making a quick decision to corner them. Gripping CHRISTA, he
dashes away.
VARON
Hold on!
Arrows flew past them, and VARON's eyes darted behind.
CHRISTA
Varon...?
VARON
Not now.
CHRISTA
But--
VARON
I know you're scared, but stay
calm!
He caught the wind in the air, as arrows flew from behind.
VARON
Darn it! Whatever you do, stay
quiet.
VARON urges in an urgent whisper to her ear. ESTELLA whined
before he guided her left to dip into the woods.
CHRISTA
Where...?
VARON
Towards the cave entrance! A secret
location.
(sighing)
Are you okay?
CHRISTA turns to him, furious.
CHRISTA
Heroics or not, this was not the
time for flashy stuff!
VARON
Must not be used to this kind of
excitement, that's for sure.
CHRISTA
(muttering)
Well, this ain't no Indiana Jones
either...
VARON raised a brow.
VARON
...Who?
VARON begins to feel jealous.
VARON
Are you trying to say that there is
somebody much better than me...?
CHRISTA (V.O.)
Oh, great. I just made the hero
jealous of another fictional hero.
ESTELLA moves quickly.
CHRISTA
W-W-What are you doing?!
VARON
Geez. I made every effort to get us
out of danger, and you're not even
impressed?! Wow!
CHRISTA
What is wrong with you?
VARON
What is up with you!
He suddenly stopped. And hopped off the horse before guiding
them both to the cave. CHRISTA suddenly felt anxious.
CHRISTA
This place..
He took out his sword.
CHRISTA
Um. Varon?
VARON
Stay on the horse...

More arrows came flying, but VARON got hit by one suddenly.
CHRISTA
NO! VARON!
VARON

The Omeni soldiers surrounded them and then separated VARON
from CHRISTA and took her off of ESTELLA harshly. Making
VARON unhappy. They kicked him, and he toppled over.

VARON
I don't have time...she is in
danger! What are you doing here in
the Realm of Omeni?
LADY CARA
I tend to visit many places from
time to time. I knew your parents

You know my parents?
LADY CARA
Indeed, I did. And now you have
somebody you desire to protect as
well, don't you, Varon?

However, the Scourge King...he
seeks to rise again.
VARON
The Scourge King?! But I thought...
LADY CARA
That the demon king died? Nay...
It's just going to get worse...Like
the Orcs, the monsters, and even
someone else who may have come
along with the girl.

VARON nearly strained himself.

A Call to Action and a Clash of Words
INT. CASTLE VERENIA - DAY
SIR AONGHUS EVENSHIRE THE V arrived. He is 57 years old,
husky, yet strong. He strolls into the throne room.
AONGHUS
I have arrived. What is the
emergency?
PRINCESS ELIANA, PRIMA, and the entire court of VERENIA were
in shock and awe.
KING AMALDUS III
Master Aonghus. It is good to see
you again. We need your help. Varon
has been in a situation.
AONGHUS raised a brow as the atmosphere in the room began to
grow tense.
AONGHUS
What kind of situation?
PRINCESS ELIANA
It’s a lot to convey. But to get to
the point. Varon has found a young
woman who is in danger. Both of
them are on their way to the Realm
of Omeni.
She paused, hoping her words would reach AONGHUS.
AONGHUS
You mean the Chosen One has
returned? Along with the key?
PRINCESS ELIANA
You know about--
AONGHUS
Aye. So the legend speaks true. And
now the Scourge King attempts to
rise again? This is beyond my
standard pay grade.
PRIMA
Are you more concerned about pay
than saving the world?
PRIMA felt like she was about to faint until the princess
dismissed it.
PRINCESS ELIANA
I understand that standard pay
wouldn’t cover it. However, I’m
certain you and Varon can work
things out.
AONGHUS began to smirk and chuckled at the suggestion.
AONGHUS
My princess. It would seem you are
more like your father after all.
He straightens himself.
AONGHUS (CONT’D)
Very well. I will help ensure
Varon’s safe return,
FERDINA
Don’t forget me. We’ll go together,
and hopefully, prevent a
catastrophe from Sefredina and
those terrible Orcs.
PRINCESS ALAWELENA visiting the JAIL in the Mountains.
CHRISTA is in the jail cell while PRINCESS ALAWELENA notices

PRINCESS ALAWELENA
What on earth?! Who in the world is

OMENIAN SOLDIER ONE
A prisoner. Captured along with
that boy. Sir Varon...
PRINCESS ALAWELENA examines CHRISTA with a critical eye.
Seeming to find her distasteful.
PRINCESS ALAWELENA
She...is the Chosen One?!
CHRISTA frowns in confusion.
PRINCESS ALAWELENA (CONT’D)
But she is just some regular girl!
CHRISTA
Hey! I may be regular, but I am not
just some girl!
PRINCESS ALAWELENA
(snorts)
Apparently not, as nobody has ever
taught you any manners.
CHRISTA
Excuse me? I just got here!
PRINCESS ALAWELENA
Well, what makes you think I will
respect you?
CHRISTA
Because I am a foreigner in another
land.
PRINCESS ALAWELENA
(chuckles darkly)
Such a naive little girl...
Omenians don't take too well to
such people who are--foreigners.
Especially one who lacks taste and
good fashion!
CHRISTA
You are just flat-out rude... and
nasty!
The guards found themselves trying to stifle a chuckle.
PRINCESS ALAWELENA gasps.
OMENIAN SOLDER THREE
Watch it! The person you speak to
is the lady Princess Alawelena of
the Realm of Omeni!
Then, they heard some fighting and grunting noises. But these
noises turned to a distressing and monstrous sound.

Demetrius is still in a coma-like

We've got to get the hell outta

This way!
PRINCESS ALAWELENA grabs CHRISTA'S hand and leads them along
with Grimmerman out of the area. The shadows with fog gaining
on them. As they tried to escape, a dark blue gem glowed,
water came out, and blocked the back where they were, as if
creating a barrier.
CHRISTA
Water?!
PRINCESS ALAWELENA nods.
PRINCESS ALAWELENA
Aye. Water. From the water gem
itself.
CHRISTA
But that is impossible...Only Varon
can use it!

I found it after it landed here
about a week ago and started
learning how to use it.

The Key...

O--KAY...I am putting it back...

That is way too long. Varon would
be dead by then.

Back at the Omeni Bridge, the dragon started to circle in the
air, seeking what VARON would do next.
OMENIAN SOLDIER FOUR
Varon! You have to leave as soon as
you have the opportunity.
VARON

Not until the dragon dies!
OMENIAN SOLDIER FOUR
But Varon, you are still young. You

VARON
Does that have anything to do with
chivalry?! No, men don't run away,
and neither do knights!
He started shooting arrows at the dragon. It wailed but then
got ready to go erratically and come towards the long bridge.

Run!

Battle on the Omeni Bridge
EXT. OMENI BRIDGE - AFTERNOON
VARON was dodging attacks. The dragon used water bombs
towards him until Varon was able to use light arrows against
the dragon. It fell into the lake. Smoke is coming from it.
VARON is looking overhead.
VARON (CONT’D)
If only I could do it in three like
I did many years ago... Is it dead?

VARON (CONT’D)
Christa? Christa! Get to safety,

There is no time! Just get out of

GRIMMERMAN takes CHRISTA's hand. But ALAWELENA eyes back at
VARON, looking more determined than ever. She turns back and
rushes over to him instead.
ALAWELENA
Grimmerman, watch over the girl!
CHRISTA
Welena! No! Come BACK!
ALAWELENA rushed towards VARON. He was shocked to see her.
VARON
Princess?! What are you doing
here?! I told you to run.
PRINCESS ALAWELENA
Correction, Sir Varon. You told the
other girl to run.
VARON
We don't have time for this. That
thing can come back out at any
minute!
On cue...the dragon emerges from the lake. Both parties were
stunned.
PRINCESS ALAWELENA
This gem should enable you to
utilize water.
VARON
I don't use magic...
PRINCESS ALAWELENA
It isn't magic! This is from the
gem itself, as it originated from
the key, Varon. The same key that
the Chosen One originally used to
seal the Scourge King! It holds
similar abilities.
VARON
Then, do you know how to use it?
The gem glowed as did the Key. The dragon saw the light and
attempted to pursue CHRISTA and GRIMMERMAN. Water came from
the lake, and its streams flowed from underneath them. VARON
was very angry.
Hitting the same areas where the light arrows were.
PRINCESS ALAWELENA
Wait! That thing is water. Wouldn't
it just 'heal' it or something?!
VARON smirked at this remark and decided to take out his
arrows. It lit up. Streams of light shot through the water,
and it lit up with the same light. The dragon burned in
multiple places. Instantly killing it.
Its guts turned to debris in the air, then to ashes.
PRINCESS ALAWELENA (CONT’D)
Snap... How did you?
She looked at VARON suspiciously. VARON was the hero that the
legends spoke of...
CHRISTA and GRIMMERMAN meet up with VARON and PRINCESS

TIPPI
I see...this is grave news indeed,
Varon. So, what is the plan?
VARON
I need you to stay hidden, Tippi.
TIPPI
How come?
VARON
Because she lives in a world where
you're but a fantasy. Her reality
is different from ours. A story
book. It's unheard of... Come on,
Tippi, please! I have to convince
her to trust me.
TIPPI
But how is hiding me going to help?
Won't it make it worse?
VARON

Tippi...?
VARON briefly explained his and CHRISTA's encounter in
detail. TIPPI, despite her reluctance, relents.
TIPPI
Oh, okay, fine! It sounds like you
know what you're doing. Though I
disagree with hiding me...
VARON
I didn't ask for your opinion,
Tippi.
TIPPI
Are you sure you are not in love or
something?
VARON blushes again in embarrassment.
VARON
W-What makes you say that?!
TIPPI
It's just a guess...but a girl from
another world is a stretch. I'd be
careful.
VARON
It's not like that...

Loverboy, as if I'd believe you.
And besides, didn't you say you
almost killed her?

will happen next.
VARON came to talk to her.
VARON
You seem lost.
CHRISTA
Can’t you blame me? I’m stuck here

get home.
VARON
Look. I’m sorry about what is
happening. But right now isn’t the

He came and took her hand.
CHRISTA
Then how am I to survive?
VARON
You have me remember? Let’s not
forget who fought a dragon and won.
Flashbacks show VARON rushing to battle the water dragon
hovering in the sky.
He loosed a few arrows at it, but none took effect. It was
then that VARON decided to use a light arrow to attack it. It
did damage, but just barely.
As the flashback ended, CHRISTA gasped when she saw that
VARON was staring directly at her.
CHRISTA
What?
VARON
Nothing. Just that you seemed like
you were daydreaming again.
CHRISTA
I’m sorry about that. Anyway, maybe
we should just figure out the next
plan.
VARON chuckled at this.
VARON
We already have the next plan. Dun
Irma. Remember what Aonghus said?
CHRISTA
I understand that. But that place
is a major volcano. How are we to
travel it?
TIPPI (O.S.)
Simple. We get some protective gear
and travel up there!
TIPPI, a faerie-like companion, was riding on MARU the Cat’s
back into the room, where AONGHUS and FERDINA came inside.
CHRISTA looks apprehensive when she sees TIPPI.
VARON
Tippi, do you have any idea how we
can get this armor?
TIPPI
It’s simple really. All you have to
do is request it at the bottom of
the hill. There is a small mining
town that likes to dig on the
bottom for treasure! Maybe they can
help you.
AONGHUS, VARON’s mentor, nods in acknowledgement.
AONGHUS
Indeed. I haven’t traversed up Dun
Irma, but you can bet that now that
your the hero. Things will start to
get interested around here.
TIPPI
Yep!
FERDINA
While you four head over there. I
will escort the princess over to
the capital.
CHRISTA
The capital?
FERDINA
Castle Verenia, is the sovereign
state in this country. Princess
Alawelena is being prepared as we
speak.
CHRISTA
How is she though? I heard there
was an argument.
VARON suddenly stiffens though AONGHUS looks at him angrily.
FERDINA
She’s doing fine. She doesn’t blame
anybody but herself for what
happened.
TIPPI
Best to leave it alone.
Throughout the night, the moon’s light flickers on Lake
Verenia. However somebody was looking through the grass up at
the palace. They suddenly disappeared in smoke.
VARON
I’m going to my room now.
AONGHUS saw this as an opportunity to speak to VARON alone.
So he followed him out.
AONGHUS
Care to explain what happened?
VARON
The Omenians held Christa and me
captive. Mostly her.
(MORE)
VARON (CONT’D)
As I got injured, and then this all
happened.
AONGHUS
I see. So the matter is indeed
grave.
VARON kept walking and then reached his room. AONGHUS closed
the door as VARON took out the healing gem and began to use
it. It has only 3 uses for him to use over 24 hours. This was
his last one. The light began to glow and engulf him.
As the healing gem continued to patch up his shoulder wound,
VARON felt relief. It ended. As VARON tucked it away.
VARON
Perfect. Now I have to wait until
the next night to recharge it.
AONGHUS
That is incredible. How did you do
that?
VARON
Willing it. My guess is that this
is more connected to my powers than
anything.
AONGHUS
Connected? Powers? Varon what are
you saying?
VARON
Master Aonghus. She did it. It’s
awake.
AONGHUS widened his eyes and then a bead of sweat trickled
down his shocked face.
AONGHUS
The light arrows...
Meanwhile, the next day. CHRISTA is still sleeping, before
TIPPI came and landed on the bed using her abilities.
TIPPI
Psst! Wake up! Your even worse than
Varon is.
CHRISTA began to mumble in her sleep.
TIPPI (CONT’D)
Oh come on! Get up! Must two people
be so lazy?!
FERDINA
Tippi. Let the poor girl rest. You
know that she just had a fever.
TIPPI pouted and then reluctantly agreed before CHRISTA waks
up and then screamed. Causing everybody to suddenly get up,
especially VARON, who awoke with a start and hit his head on
a panel. He slept on a bunk bed.
VARON
Ahhh! Damn! What the? Christa?!
VARON get’s up from his bed and rushes over to her room. He
didn’t bother knocking before he slammed it open. CHRISTA
suddenly panicked.
VARON (CONT’D)
What the heck is going on?
CHRISTA
S-She is... I just saw her with
wings!
VARON
Tippi...?
VARON looks at TIPPI with a stern look as TIPPI bashfully
played it off by rolling her eyes.
TIPPI
I have you know that I am not a
fairy.
CHRISTA
You look like one.
TIPPI
It’s my special ability. I can
float and use wings, which is
pretty useful. Not all little
people have such powers.
CHRISTA
What does that even mean?
CHRISTA didn’t know what to make of the situation. That was
until VARON steps in and gathers her into his arms.
CHRISTA (CONT’D)
W-What are you?
VARON
Pipe down. And go get as much rest
as you can.
CHRISTA
I’m fine, Varon. If we’re going to
head over to the mountain, we can
go today.
TIPPI
Now that’s the spirit! See, Varon?
Christa wants to go.
VARON smirked and then playfully tipped CHRISTA’s nose.
VARON
I appreciate the bravado, but under
Lady Cara’s orders, no. We are not
leaving until your fully rested.
CHRISTA
But I can do this!
FERDINA
Varon is right. This is not time
for bravery at this point. That
fever can be a hinderance, and
we’re moving towards an active
volcano. Remember that.
CHRISTA wanted to grit her teeth, but ultimately said
nothing. Due to her observation, she can see the mountain
pouring down lava, and she gulps. Looking back at the group
as they talked. VARON came towards her.
VARON
Do you want anything to drink? Any
food?
CHRISTA
We can start with us exploring
Omeni. We may find some clues.

Journey Through Timani: Shadows and Secrets
EXT. TIMANI FOREST, REALM OF OMENI - DAY
VARON and CHRISTA are taking a stroll in the forest, and
CHRISTA is admiring what the forest is like. Simply amazed.
CHRISTA
Wow.
VARON
It’s beautiful, isn’t it?
CHRISTA
I never knew that you all had a
place like this. It reminds me of
the Daskan Forest.
VARON chuckled and then looked froward.
VARON
This place is known for it’s
peacefulness.
The sun draped through the leaves. Giving the scenery a
glowing green glow. The birds chirped and wildlife could be
heard. CHRISTA and VARON however, didn’t know that they were
being spied on by TIPPI who was watching them.
They see bamboo on the opposite end.
CHRISTA
Where does that go?
VARON
Dunno. I think further down to
another location. We should
probably move somewhere else.
CHRISTA looked on in curiosity, but ultimately decided
against it. Just as soon as CHRISTA made it to where VARON
was, he guides her slowly towards the where the trail was.
Then they hear horses in the distance. A carriage was riding
alone as they continued along the path. VARON and CHRISTA
hid, not knowing who or what it could be. But then suddenly
the carriage sped off.
CHRISTA
Um, what the heck was that all
about?
They hear snarling noses, and then as VARON was about to turn
around, he nearly gasps as he guides CHRISTA down to the
ground so they wouldn’t be seen. The snarls came from Goblins
chasing after the carriage in a hurry.
VARON
Goblins...
CHRISTA
Yep. I want to go home.
VARON
Home will have to wait. We better
return to the palace before
anything else happens.
CHRISTA
Wait! Aren’t you the hero?
Shouldn’t you like go after them or
something?
VARON
And risk your life in the process?
I don’t even have Estella with me
to chase them.
Suddenly, VARON takes CHRISTA’s hand and leads her away from
the scene. TIPPI smirked at this, and then she began hopping
from one leaf to another.
I/E. OMENI PALACE, REALM OF OMENI - EVENING
PRINCESS ALAWELENA came down stairs in her gown. She looked
around and saw the group.
FERDINA
Princess Alawelena.
PRINCESS ALAWELENA
Lady of Erkhan. I have decided that
we should make haste towards Castle
Verenia at once!
FERDINA
Are you certain about this,
princess?
PRINCESS ALAWELENA
Yes. My father has approved it.
AONGHUS
Chief Aegald is a responsible
leader. He will know what to do.
And what about Jermer? Your
brother?
PRINCESS ALAWELENA
He is doing well. Father was
pleased to see him return safely.
CHRISTA
I don’t get it. What happened?
VARON
Prince Jermer is Alawelena’s
brother. He disappeared at the same
time we came here.
CHRISTA nods in understanding, before TIPPI was playing with
MARU the Cat.
PRINCESS ALAWELENA
But enough about me. How about the
girl?
CHRISTA
I’m better today. Thank you for
asking, Welena.
VARON notices that CHRISTA is wearing an Omenian dress, a
light blue hue compared to the dark colors worn by others.
When CHRISTA noticed him, he turned away and slightly
blushed.
TIPPI
Princess. Why don’t you sit down
and tell us about the gemstones?
CHRISTA
Huh? Something else now?
PRINCESS ALAWELENA
You see. When the water gem
appeared in my domain, I learned to
use it. But it’s limited. Each gem
has its own purpose.
CHRISTA
I see. So it’s elemental? Or...
PRINCESS ALAWELENA
Precisely. Almost always is.
According to my research, there are
over five of them. Scattered across
Verenia itself. So it will not be
easy, allow me to tell you.
CHRISTA then looked at VARON, and he nodded.
VARON
Very well. I will work hard to
gather all the gemstones. Since
they are part of the key.
PRINCESS ALAWELENA
Don’t forget the jewels from the
temples.
CHRISTA
Where is it?
When they made it outside, PRINCESS ALAWELENA shows them the
Omeni Temple. VARON walks to the entrance and places the
water gem in a slot. It glows, before the doors open. CHRISTA
gaped at how massive the inside of it was.
PRINCESS ALAWELENA
Now do you understand?
FERDINA
So this is a challenge for him, eh?
Can’t wait to help.
VARON
Then let’s move.
Everybody looked on as they entered. TIPPI was riding on
VARON’s shoulder, who suddenly turned around to look at
CHRISTA and winked. Much to CHRISTA’s confusion.
AONGHUS
This is the first time I have ever
been in a place like this.
FERDINA
The same. Makes you want to know
what kind of monsters are in here.
CHRISTA
Can we please not talk about
monsters?
PRINCESS ALAWELENA
Well, get used to it. Complaining
about it never helped anyone.
CHRISTA frowned.
CHRISTA
Look. In case you forgot, I am not
from around here!
PRINCESS ALAWELENA
(whispers)
Shhh! I already know that!
VARON walks ahead and then sees a massive spider web on the
walk. It looked fresh. As he didn’t like where this was
going.
TIPPI
Varon. That’s.
VARON
I know. Which means they could be
down here.
TIPPI
Are you gonna tell her?
VARON
Not right now, Tippi. Besides, I
want us to be friends first.
Remember?
TIPPI huffs as she suddenly notices a glow.
TIPPI
Look, look!
The glow was the jewel that was in another chamber. Suddenly,
the door behind them closed shut. CHRISTA was about to panic.
CHRISTA
Oh my gosh. It closed on us!
FERDINA
It only means that we have to open
the next door. Prepare yourselves!
A thud could be heard. The roots began to move as did the
shadows.
PRINCESS ALAWELENA
(gasps)
What in the...? Granite Soldiers?
The soldiers emerged from the stones and then looked directly
at the group. AONGHUS, FERDINA, and VARON took out their
swords. CHRISTA, TIPPI, and PRINCESS ALAWELENA began to move
back.
FERDINA
This really better be our day.
AONGHUS
Oh, it will. Wait and see.
The soldiers attacked as they did. VARON dodged the swinging
swords as he swung his in defense. AONGHUS is clashing with
one, as is FERDINA, leaping in the air and taking her large
sword to handle it.
CHRISTA
I got to help out!
AONGHUS
No, lass! Stay back, and let the
pros handle this!
VARON suddenly used the water gem to see if he could get any
water. It was taking a long time. Nothing.
CHRISTA
Varon!
He looked up and then dodged and rolled out of the way as a
soldier attempted to slam the sword downwards directly on
him. VARON let out a war cry and launched a flurry of attacks
as his sword glowed.
Meanwhile, CHRISTA takes out the manuscript and looks at the
pages. She tried translating as much as she could.
CHRISTA (CONT’D)
Dang it, it’s hard to read this
part.
TIPPI
It’s clear. Only water can rot it.
CHRISTA
Wait a minute...Water?
CHRISTA gets a can of water from her backpack. She rushes
towards the battle scene.
TIPPI
What are you doing?!
CHRISTA
Watch me, Tippi.
CHRISTA opens up the water can halfway.
CHRISTA (CONT’D)
Varon!
VARON pushed himself up and turned around before he was
punched extremely hard into the wall. The monster howls,
which causes the tunnel to shake.
CHRISTA (CONT’D)
Oh no...Varon? Varon!
FERDINA
What the hell happened?!
AONGHUS
No! Get yourself up, lad, before
the-
A glow can be seen in the smoke as VARON healed himself. He
only has 2 uses left.
CHRISTA
Varon! Use the water gem!
VARON
I tried that, Christa! There isn’t
any water around here!
CHRISTA
Oh yes, there is.
She said, holding up her water can. VARON looked and then
smirked. He nods and then attempts once more, before the
stone soldiers try to come after them again.
CHRISTA uncorks the can, and the water glows before flooding
the area. Causing the soldier to hiss. As this happened,
FERDINA used her crusher to slam the soldiers down, just as
she had at VARON earlier. They were broken down.
CHRISTA ran up to VARON and hugged him.
VARON
Christa?
CHRISTA
What the heck! You almost got
yourself crushed to death!
VARON
Hey, I’m sorry. I told you I was
going to be okay.
CHRISTA and VARON walked towards the others as they tried to
figure out the next steps. CHRISTA suddenly sees a lever and
then walks over to it. She tried pulling it upwards. But she
needed help.
AONGHUS came over and did the work for her. With his
strength, he was able to unlock the door that led to the
other room.
CHRISTA
Thank you.
AONGHUS
Anytime, lass.
VARON walked past them and then saw the jewel there. He goes
for it, and it stops glowing. It was blue, with four pointed
sides.
FERDINA
It would seem that everything is
going according to plan.
TIPPI
Alright!
PRINCESS ALAWELENA
Now that you have the jewel, we
should be out of here.
The jewel suddenly flashed as another door led the way out
opened. The groups quickly ran to it and climbed up the
stairs leading to the outside world. They all finally made it
out. The moon hung high in the sky.
TIPPI
Whew. I never would have thought
the temple would be like this.
CHRISTA looks around as others joke and celebrate. She
noticed that something was wrong with the trees. It seemed
darker and more ominous.
PRINCESS ALAWELENA
Hey, Christa!
CHRISTA
C-Coming!
CHRISTA reached back to the gang before a shadow attempted to
grab her from the ground.
FERDINA
Christa, what is wrong?
CHRISTA turned to FERDINA and then shook her head. FERDINA
slightly gasped before turning around in the same direction
CHRISTA came from. She sensed something was amiss.
FERDINA (CONT’D)
Everyone. I suggest that we head
back.
PRINCESS ALAWELENA
Agreed.
The group began walking back, with VARON now close by
CHRISTA.
VARON
Christa. What is it?
CHRISTA
Nothing. Never mind.
VARON
Then rest on me. You must be
feeling tired by now.
CHRISTA
Huh? Rest on...
VARON
I mean. Come on, let’s just get you
back.
The rest of the group disbanded and went into the palace.
VARON suddenly wanted to be alone with CHRISTA. VARON was in
the shower and decided to turn it off. He changed into his
night tunic and dried off his hair.
When he came out, he was fully dressed. His room felt empty
besides him. He walked out, closed the door, and went down to
see CHRISTA.
VARON (CONT’D)
I got to tell her. If I don’t, I
think I am going to explode.
He then stops at the door. Still contemplating on the matter.
VARON (CONT’D)
If I go in, she might get upset. If
I don’t see her, she still might
get upset. Either way, I lose...
Fine.
VARON resumed his walk and knocked on the door. However, he
can hear TIPPI speaking, though the door muffles the sound.
CHRISTA
I don’t care, Tippi. We’ve got to
make it to Dun Irma or else...
VARON knocks one last time. CHRISTA opens the door and then
suddenly VARON jumped when he sees CHRISTA in a nightgown,
and TIPPI flew to his face. Seemly angry.
VARON
Tippi?
TIPPI
Varon of the Daskan Forest! What
the heck are you doing being late?
VARON
Hey, I had to take a shower, okay?
I wasn’t about to see Christa
without being able to work things
out, you know?
TIPPI rolled her eyes and then sighed.
CHRISTA
I can’t believe that she is flying.
TIPPI
Yeah? We’ll believe it, because I
am going to bed. Night, night!
She vanished into sparkles of light, causing CHRISTA to jump.
VARON
Guess this is still new to you.
CHRISTA
No duh! You don’t see any of that
except in movies!
VARON snickered and shook his head.
VARON
You and your world’s terminology.
CHRISTA
So what are you thinking about?
VARON
You. Just you. And us.
CHRISTA looked at VARON oddly, wondering about him.
CHRISTA
Us? What does this have to do with
anything?
VARON then came into the room.
VARON
Everything, Christa. Which is why I
wanted to ask you something
personally. Do you feel safe with
me?
CHRISTA began to think about it and then looked around her
before answering his question.
CHRISTA
I’m starting to trust you.
VARON grew a small smile.
VARON
I see. It means that we’re making
some progress.
CHRISTA
But now I must ask you the same
question.
VARON
I feel safe around you, too. Which
is why I was wondering. If you
would like to be...to be...
He couldn’t say the words. As he gulped and then blushed
heavily.
CHRISTA
Like to be what?
VARON
Like to be able to travel more with
me? Given that you may be stuck
here for a while longer.
CHRISTA suddenly faltered. She didn’t know what to say about
the situation.
CHRISTA
I guess so. What else could I do?
VARON
Well, we’re heading over to Dun
Irma tomorrow. Princess Alawelena
is heading to the castle. Which
means you and I get to figure this
all out. The jewels, the gemstones.
Then VARON notices the manuscript next to CHRISTA.
VARON (CONT’D)
That book...
CHRISTA
Huh? You mean this?
VARON
I never seen you with it before.
CHRISTA
I used the same book to help you
with Sporan, don’t you remember?
VARON shook his head and then looked back at the book.
VARON
No. Not in the slightest. Is that
the reason you’re always quiet?
Then VARON walked over to CHRISTA.
CHRISTA
It’s called the manuscript, and my
father gave it to me.
VARON
So you had this book this entire
time? What is inside it?
CHRISTA began opening the book, revealing its details inside.
CHRISTA
This book is about your world,
Varon.
Inside were the detailed maps, monster terminology, and a
synopsis of every chapter in the book about the Chosen One
and Hero. VARON picked it up and was in awe.
VARON
If anybody had told me such a thing
existed...
CHRISTA
I told you so.
VARON
I could possibly borrow the maps
from this. Look! It even has a map
of Dun Irma! Licho Village is right
up there.
CHRISTA
L-Licho?
VARON
It’s a hub. Visitors come there to
experience the heat and such. Or so
I heard.
CHRISTA folded her arms as she wondered what information
VARON knew.
CHRISTA
Then maybe we need to focus on this
map.
VARON agreed as they look at the different areas, and where
certain monsters may attempt to attack them from.
That was when a scream was heard outside. VARON and CHRISTA
rushed over to see what was happening. They saw a lady
running with a few men.
VARON
Something isn’t right.
CHRISTA
What do we do?
A sound of dogs ran, and they went in the same direction as
the people.
VARON
Quickly, turn off the lights.
VARON went from candle to candle, turning every light source
off. CHRISTA did the same until the lights went completely
out.
A person shrouded in darkness looked up at CHRISTA’s room.
And when he saw that nobody was there, he kept moving until
he disappeared.
CHRISTA
W-What the heck was t-that?
VARON
I Dunno. But it wouldn’t surprise
me if it were somebody dangerous.
CHRISTA slid to the floor, ready to cry.
CHRISTA
This is a nightmare. A complete and
total nightmare.
VARON
Christa. Don’t worry about
anything.
CHRISTA
How could you say that?
VARON smiled and took her hand.
VARON
Because, Christa. We’ve been
through crazy stuff before. And we
can do it again.
CHRISTA
I hope so.
The next morning, the group was prepped and prepared to go to
Dun Irma. FERDINA and PRINCESS ALAWELENA had shared a horse.
VARON
How long do you think you can make
it there?
FERDINA
It will take us a while. But we
will make it before the 3rd hour.
VARON
And her father and brother?
FERDINA
They expect to hold out until
things quiet down. No telling what
else may show up.
Then PRINCE JERMER arrived as well as CHIEF AEGALD.
JERMER
Sis. You really have to go?
PRINCESS ALAWELENA
I have to. It is the only way to
keep you all safe. As a Maiden of
Virtue, I cannot expect you to
continue to protect me.
JERMER
Then stay safe out there.
CHIEF AEGALD agreed.
CHIEF AEGALD
When you go up there. Chief Gao
runs Licho. So make sure you give
him a payment offering.
AONGHUS
Aye. I have heard of him. A
generous man. But not unheard of.
CHRISTA gets up on ESTELLA, as TIPPI was riding with AONGHUS
and MARU.
CHRISTA
Uh, should Maru be coming with us?
TIPPI
He’ll be fine. Maru is not your
typical cat. He can survive all
kinds of weather. Within reason.
MARU meows in agreement. CHRISTA was shocked but ultimately
said nothing else.
VARON
Right. Let us be off!
AONGHUS and VARON moved their horses, as did FERDINA with
hers. Everybody moved in the same direction into Timani
Forest so they could exit into the Verenia Fields.

Journey Through the Timani Forest
EXT. TIMANI FOREST, REALM OF OMENI - DAY
The group began to ride calmly. PRINCESS ALAWELENA looked
around in awe as she never been outside of the palace or the
realm.
CHRISTA
Hey, Varon, how come we’re taking
the back way?
VARON
Because Estella can’t handle murky
waters like that.
CHRISTA looked around and saw the fog thickening.
AONGHUS
We will ride on, but be alert! Any
sensing of danger should be
reported immediately. Got it?
FERDINA
Aye, aye!
VARON
Yes, sir!
AONGHUS
Good. Welcome to Timani Forest!
They continued to ride until the fog lifted a little. They
made it to the fields and saw the wild horses there.
VARON
Shouldn’t we stop by Farrowlan?
AONGHUS
What for?
VARON
For rest. Christa, especially as
the Princess is not used to long
travel. We cannot afford it.
AONGHUS thought for a long moment, until FERDINA came over to
speak.
FERDINA
It’s true. We’ve been traveling for
about 45 minutes straight without a
break. If we had taken the long
way, that would have been an
additional 2 hours.
TIPPI
A wise decision.
CHRISTA
Don’t worry about me. I’ll make it.
PRINCESS ALAWELENA
The same.
The seasoned warriors chuckled at this.
CHRISTA
Hey, what is so funny?
AONGHUS
We will stop by Farrowlan and rest
up. We aren’t in much of a rush.
VARON got ESTELLA ready, and AONGHUS, along with FERDINA,
moved their horses towards the lush town of Farrowlan.

Arrival in Farrowlan
EXT. FARROWLAN - DAY
The small city was vibrant. Hosting tournaments as people
dressed calmly in Verenian clothing. The group got off their
horses.
AONGHUS
Farrowlan. I haven’t been in this
town since the last war.
CHRISTA
War? You were in a war, Aonghus?
AONGHUS
Indeed, I was, lass. It’s been
about four years since that time.
Varon was still a lad then.
CHRISTA then sees VARON stiffen at the mention of the war.
CHRISTA
I had...no idea.
AONGHUS
There are a lot of things you don’t
know about this world, Christa.
Things far different than your
reality.
CHRISTA
Oh no. We had wars, and some are
just as close to home as they are
foreign.
VARON
Can we all just please stop talking
about wars?
CHRISTA then shuddered when she saw the sadness and the pain
in VARON’s voice. She nodded and then sighed.
CHRISTA
Sorry. I never meant to bring it
up.
VARON
It’s okay.
CHRISTA
No. It’s not. I forgot how much you
dislike wars.
FERDINA
We’re here.
They finally made it to an inn with a bar below. Eventually,
the owner looked and smiled. ROBBI, (43), looked on
intrigued.
ROBBI
I see that you brought some more
guests, Aonghus.
AONGHUS
We need a favor. Can you spare us
some rooms?
FERDINA and VARON paid their share of the bill with large
coin bags. ROBBI began to sweat.
ROBBI
That many? I dunno. I have a lot of
people in today.
VARON
Then, at least for two girls, and
that’s it. The rest of us can find
other accommodations elsewhere.
PRINCESS ALAWELENA
And leave poor me and Christa by
ourselves? What happened to being
gentlemen?
VARON
Listen, we will check up on you
periodically until curfew. No more
or any less.
TIPPI
Can you always share rooms?
VARON
Absolutely not.
He spoke dangerously.
TIPPI
Hey! I meant girls and guys in
separate rooms. Not the other way
around!
ROBBI
I tell you what. Three rooms for
two people. No more.
CHRISTA
That sounds fair. Tippi can stay
with one of us.
TIPPI
I’ll stay with you.
In the room, CHRISTA started unpacking and looked once again
at the volcano.
CHRISTA
How can people live so close to
that and not be scared of getting
burned to a crisp?
VARON
That is because it goes towards the
ocean. Start forming new land
masses.
CHRISTA was startled as VARON scared her.
CHRISTA
What the heck, you scared me...
VARON
Sorry. I just wanted to see you
before I head off somewhere.
CHRISTA
Can I come with?
VARON was stunned at her answer.
VARON
You want to come with me?
CHRISTA
I have nothing else better to do.
VARON
Maybe next time. Until then, stay
put. That’s an order.
CHRISTA
Fine.
VARON
And don’t worry. Once we’re done
here, we’re heading to Dun Irma.
CHRISTA
Just be quick and be safe.
VARON nods at her answer, and then immediately he begins
shutting the door.
