EXT. UNKNOWN FOREST - NIGHT
CHRISTA is brushing through trees. Her feet patting on the
ground. She is being chased by Moonwolves; a Werewolf type
monster.
INT. UNIVERSITY CAMPUS - EVENING
Students swarm the campus as rain falls. They murmur amongst
themselves as a earthquake rumbles and some are panicking. An
intruder named VARON who came from the fantastical world of
Nova is looking for CHRISTA. He is now held captive.
INT. UNIVERSITY, EMPTY CLASSROOM - NIGHT
VARON, 20, has mid-length, curly, dirty-blond hair. Caught
between disorientation and fleeting memories of CHRISTA. His
ocean eyes flutter to four STUDENTS and two PROFESSORS.
PROFESSOR ANDERSON, 39, begins to speak.
PROFESSOR ANDERSON
Alright. I'm only saying this once.
Who are you? Why are you here? And
most importantly...why attack my
students?
VARON subconsciously bit his lower lip. His eyes waver as
Anderson folds his arms.
PROFESSOR ANDERSON (CONT’D)
Rest assured that the police are on
their way to question you.
VARON
...I'm looking for answers.
VARON lifts his head pleadingly.
VARON (CONT’D)
What do you plan on doing with me?
TARIK, 19, dark-skinned, tall young man, raised his brow.
TARIK
Uh, are you hard of hearing? You're
going to get arrested, dude. And
then they're going to question you
and throw your sorry ass in jail.
VARON
I wouldn't dare hurt them! I was
just..., you need to understand. I
apologize for the intrusion.
(MORE)
VARON (CONT’D)
This world is entirely new to me,
yet I know you fear me!
BAILEY (V.O.)
Fear him? What does he mean by
that?
VARON
I'm looking for my family from
Earth.
CAMERON
This is Earth. What are you saying?
DR.PATRICIA (O.C.)
Hold on. I've heard of the
stories...I listened to the
rumors...are you...?
CAMERON, 18, begins to feel nervous, as DR. PATRICIA looked
on.
CAMERON
Uh, what does he mean by that?
DR.PATRICIA
He's not from our world...
VARON
How did you know that?
DR.PATRICIA
The students turned to look on the
side. A sword they had never seen
before began to glow faintly.
VARON
Her name is Christa. And she is in
danger. She...and I got separated
back in my world. I'm trying to
find her. Only she can activate my
powers.
The clock ticks. TARIK slaps his head.
TARIK
Powers?! Great...we got an alien in
our midst?
CAMERON
But she belongs here!
VARON
She is vital back home! Everything
is connected. If I don't find a
way...this world becomes in sync,
these portals will open, and...
Outside, a shadow of a large dragon encircles the sky--
thunder roars. Shadows began to warp.
VARON (CONT’D)
Somebody has to stop it before
demons flood the place!
He struggles with his rope bindings.
VARON (CONT’D)
You don't understand. I come from a
world where yours is but a simple
reality, and mine is fantastical.
BAILEY
This all has to be a joke; how can
we have some guy from fantasy land
suddenly show up and...
Once more, an earthquake intensifies. The shadow dragon's
roar intensifies. Everyone looks outside, panicking and in
disbelief.
VARON (V.O.)
We don't have much time.
VARON looked up and asked a vital question.
VARON
May I explain my reasoning and
desire to save this world and mine?
TASHA
What reasoning?
VARON inhales deeply before speaking in a mysterious voice..
An older but now TIMELESS VARON's voice begins to speak,
narrating the tale of his world to the present.
OLDER TIMELESS VARON (V.O.)
There was... A time. A time full of
hope, a time full of peace, and a
time full of war...A time full of
vast mountains, beautiful forests,
valleys as sweet as gold, towns
lively, and a Kingdom that truly
loved her people, with a golden sun
and a moon under the stars.
Catacombs were full of history,
groves so intense...it would keep
you lost in time. Other places were
left to discovery. But hardly
anyone ventured out of the land. It
was so well protected that nobody
would have assumed anything worse.
The roads leading to the secret
place were steep, but nonetheless,
it was not unreachable.
The world of Nova appears exactly as TIMELESS VARON says.
OLDER TIMELESS VARON
This is a story about love,
adventure, and awakening. Loss,
Redemption, and Conquering Fear.

Guardianship and Intrusion
EXT. DASKAN FOREST, SACRED WOODS
A man is riding his horse on the hill, mountains, down a
beaten path, and finally enters a cave that leads to a grove
full of pillars: another cave, and the strange statue of a
woman of remembrance. The statue faded as centuries passed,
yet he often spoke to her as if he had known her for ages. He
got off the horse and walked to it slowly. He stared and was
solemn. This young man was VARON at 19.
VARON
Why did you have to go so soon...?
He spoke softly under his breath. He began pulling out
something to write, ESTELLA, let out a startled cry.
VARON (CONT’D)
Whoa! Estella, my girl... What is
wrong?
Horses' hooves are trampling the ground. VARON's ear perks;
he gasps slightly as his senses heighten. In his vision, he
sees a blur of men coming.
VARON quickly turns around as the sound gets closer. The
three horses stop. Each of them comes off their respective
steeds.
It was three MEN -- CAPTAIN DOMHNALL (47), SIR THOMAS CRATE
(39) & PAGE KIAN (15). VARON straightens himself. Preparing
for a confrontation while eyeing them suspiciously. He didn't
like where this was going. ESTELLA, his horse, came to him
immediately.
VARON (CONT’D)
State your business plainly...
DOMHNALL
We have come under official
business. And have heard of your
arrival.
VARON narrows at DOMHNALL.
VARON
Arrival? Do ye have any idea of the
soil you're feet touch?
SIR THOMAS CRATE
And if we refuse to leave?
VARON eyes SIR THOMAS dangerously.
VARON
I am the guardian protector of this
forest. You dare cross the line
with me? I can easily banish you
from here, and even the forest
would agree...
The trees hum, and the wind surrounding them dances. This
caused PAGE KIAN to gulp and shrink back. SIR THOMAS CRATE
slightly gasps while CAPTAIN DOMHNALL hmm's in
acknowledgement. The passing wind subsides. VARON notices the
mixed reactions, and in an authoritative tone, he changes his
voice, beginning to speak formally and brashly. His voice
starts to echo and boom loud enough that it sends shivers
down Kian's spine.
VARON (CONT’D)
Where you're standing is on sacred
and historical grounds. How did you
get access? Only people of great
importance and significance are
admitted. It is not a place for
tourists or common folk.
DOMHNALL decides to step forward before bowing slightly.
DOMHNALL
We apologize, Sir Varon. You are
the son of a knight, permitted to
come here, as you and your family
have overlooked these grounds for
centuries. As your former superior,
you never talked to me in that tone
before. I understand now, and your
concern for it. It is...a
misunderstanding.
VARON
I'm not trying to return for old
time's sake. And I refuse to have
this sacred space disturbed or
tainted.
He grits his teeth and begins to shake, his bones growing
increasingly tense. A near-unquenchable fire begins to simmer
him to anger.
VARON (CONT’D)
I ask that you let it be and go in
peace.
VARON calls for ESTELLA to come so that he can prepare to
leave. Until Page Kian desperately speaks.
PAGE KIAN
It is the Princess and the King,
Sir Varon!
VARON pauses midway on the strap and looks concerned before
slowly stepping down.
VARON
What of the royal family?
He looked back in alarm. SIR THOMAS CRATE tried to stop KIAN
from speaking further until DOMHNALL had raised his hand to
stop him.
DOMHNALL
It's a complicated situation...

Urgent Counsel at Castle Verenia
INT. CASTLE VERENIA, ROUND TABLE MEETING ROOM - DAY
Key figures at the round table. KING AMALDUS III (53) is a
sufficient king who keeps the ideals of his people in check.
PRINCESS ELIANA, (17), is his daughter with unique hidden
powers and wisdom beyond her years. PRIMA, (32), a servant
maid for Eliana and attendant. A MESSENGER begins to speak.
KING AMALDUS III
State your report.
MESSENGER
A town on the Western border has
been attacked.
KING AMALDUS III
Attacked by whom?
MESSENGER
We don't know...
KING AMALDUS III
So it's just rumors then...
A drop of sweat began to fall from the MESSENGER's face.
MESSENGER
It is an urgent matter, sir...
KING AMALDUS III
There have been frequent town
attacks lately. Especially in the
last few months. What is so
different about this one? This is
nothing new.
He began to dismiss the issue with a wave of his hand until
the Messenger started to bead with sweat.
MESSENGER
Apparently, Sire, this is not the
only town.
KING AMALDUS III eyes the messenger incredulously. LORD
EDWINDO, (27), of the Southern Province began to speak.
EDWINDO
Uh, sire. Perhaps we should inquire
about the surrounding region? To
get an idea of the matter at hand,
of course...
KING AMALDUS III
Tell us, Messenger...
MESSENGER
The prairie towns and villages are
doing their best. All but one have
ignored our attempts to contact
them. The mountains have barred
their entrances. As did Omeni, the
water realm.
(MORE)
MESSENGER (CONT’D)
Except for the Daskan Forest, where
it was said Sir Varon was located.
VARON looked visibly uncomfortable, while PRINCESS ELIANA
looked at him curiously. KING AMALDUS III strokes his beard.
KING AMALDUS III
I see. Sir Varon, what is your
assessment on the matter?
VARON
Something is wrong with the land...
LORD EDWINDO had spoken up to question. He was slim, had
darkened skin, a black mustache, and was young with black
hair.
EDWINDO
Then, what is affecting Verenia?
Everyone else had clamored in murmurs. PRINCESS ELIANA turns
to KING AMALDUS III.
PRINCESS ELIANA
Sire, what are the people to do?
KING AMALDUS III
The situation has changed to some
degree.
He rises from his seat.
KING AMALDUS III (CONT’D)
We have to guard those towns and
alert those surrounding them. Keep
everything discussed in this room
to yourselves.
FRIER YOSEF then speaks up. He wore robes, had brown hair,
and wore his crown around his head.
YOSEF
It is troublesome that this is
occurring. I will be sure to inform
my guards... with your permission.
This cannot be made public. Not
without a thorough investigation
into the matter. Did you have any
idea?
He turns to LORD ROHN.
ROHN
Not at all!
YOSEF
(frowns)
Then perhaps the young knight is
right.
DOMHNALL
Then let's make a plan to ensure
everyone is aware. We don't have
any more time!
The meeting has concluded.

A Reunion Amidst Ominous Whispers
INT. CASTLE HALLWAY - DAY
PRINCESS ELIANA
Varon, it has been years.
VARON nodded.
VARON
Indeed, Princess. It has been. I
hope everything is well.
Noticing she has grown from their childhood days into a
beautiful young woman.
PRINCESS ELIANA
Things are what they are; I hope
that everything is okay with you. I
have been worried. I had a dream. I
want to share it with you. But
through this.
She turned to PRIMA, and she had given VARON a letter.
PRIMA
Sir Varon. Please let this letter
serve you on your journey.
VARON took the sealed letter. PAGE KIAN runs up to the group.
He bowed and looked to VARON.
VARON
Is anything wrong, Kian?
PAGE KIAN
Your horse is ready. Please be safe
as you get back. However, something
is troubling the Daskan Forest!
The trees of the forest, over two hours away from the castle,
hummed and wrestled with the wind. The forest animals began
to panic. VARON slightly gasped as he felt this--sounds of
tubular bells ringing from the sanctuary.
A mysterious gong sounds mysteriously in the air, at the
Chamber of Time's entrance, giving off a mysterious vibration
as if something's disturbing it.

the crowd of students. ERICA ROBISON, also 18, is CHRISTA's
best friend since middle school, and joins her on their walk.
They catch up with two of their male friends. TOBY DE
ROSE,17, & ORELL JOHNATHON,19.
ERICA
Hi, Toby! Hi, Orell! So, have you
reached out to him yet?
ORELL
You know... I find it strange that
he hasn't spoken to you in about a
decade.
CHRISTA
No...BUT, I found out through the
college's website that he is giving
a lecture this week on
archaeological digs and historical
sites.
She pulls out a printout version of the school's newspaper.
CHRISTA (CONT’D)
Look here. Says he is having an
expedition in the mountains about
an hour away, starting this
evening.
TOBY
Okay, so you're pissed off about
it?
CHRISTA shook her head, unable to shake the ease.
CHRISTA
Not really. I'm just shocked that
he returned after he and Mom had
split. I'm just trying to figure it
all out. I have to tell you
something, though.
ERICA
What is it?
CHRISTA
I get the feeling he is hiding
something. Yet I don't know what it
is.
ERICA widened her eyes, and color drained from her face.

professor, scientist, and archeologist. Who was once an
explorer and adventurer. He is now focusing on his lecture,
giving the progress of the dig.
RICHARD
So as you can see, ladies and
gentlemen. We have found a way to
gather key information about this
cave that may reveal how the long-
held secret has remained since its
emergence in the 70s...
RICHARD (CONT'D)
My team has concluded that
somewhere in that cave, diamonds,
rubies, and pearls beyond your
wildest dreams are. And ancient
tales of a kingdom so out there
that it has yet to be discovered.
YAMAGUCHI
Have any of you ever thought about
quitting while you are ahead?
He looked around to see if there was anybody brave enough to
say anything--a hint of disloyalty, any sign of weakness.
RICHARD
Since when did any of my team want
to quit that badly?
DR.RICHARD questions. Then, MR.YAMAGUCHI raised a brow.
YAMAGUCHI
So, you now speak for them all?
RICHARD
We had this discussion. EACH of my
team members and companions is
compassionate about this project.
If anybody else can do it, it is
them.
Everyone clapped in agreement. Some shaking heads in support.
RICHARD (CONT'D)
In fact, my team is looking to
discuss this as we speak.
Yamaguchi, give us about three days
to get this done. And the rest will
work itself out. We have already

However, there was something else on her mind: Her father.

doing. What is he...?
She begins to move her backpack and slings it over her
shoulder. Yet pauses and is visibly shaken. She sees her
Teddy bear that she had since she was little.
CHRISTA (CONT’D)
Grandpa...what am I going to do?
A knock was heard downstairs. CHRISTA opens the door and sees
ERICA, TOBY, and ORELL at the door. She turned to TOBY.
CHRISTA (CONT’D)
Are your parents okay with this?
You're only seventeen years old.
He shrugged.

Not like I have anything else
better to do. At least I am with
other adults.
ERICA looked at him funny.

SUPER: Hidden Cave in the Mountain Range - Extremely deep
cave entrance
DR.RICHARD had the entire archeology team on the move;
diggers kept digging until they had stopped, and he had
looked over their work. They were in some pocket and wanted
to look into something. Uncertain if it was a door, and was
looking for a hidden switch.
RICHARD
This is a mess; where is it?
CHRISTA
Dad!
SUMIKO
Dr. Richard! Kids!
RICHARD turns around and notices CHRISTA, ERICA, TOBY, and
ORELL. Research team members include: SUMIKO TOWATA, KOCHI
YAMATO, HARU MASAMOTO, THEODORE FAIRRAWAY, and DR. HARRISON,
who attempted to stop them.
RICHARD
Christa? What the heck are you
doing here?
Suddenly, CHRISTA was allowed to go through the man-made
barricade of the diggers and the tech team.
CHRISTA
No time! What the heck are you
doing here?
DR.RICHARD was starting to fume. He didn't have time to get
angry or upset.
RICHARD
This is not a place for you or your
friends. I don't even know how the
heck you got here. Why are you
here? Shouldn't you be in classes?
He chastises them in public. JUNE had remembered.
JUNE
Wait a minute -- You have a
daughter?
RICHARD
Yes, June. This is Christa, my
daughter. And I suppose her friends
are from the University.
KOCHI
Hiya!

Heck! Might as well tell 'em.

also steered clear of the rocks.

He was dead.
RICHARD
Is everybody okay!?
CHRISTA turns around amongst the remainder of the smoke.
CHRISTA
Dad!
RICHARD
Christa! Where's Orell and Erica?
TOBY was next to him. He was gripping a rock close by as he
was still trying to wipe the dust from his shirt. ORELL
continuously coughed, even as he tried to adjust the glasses
he had. CHRISTA and RICHARD look at him oddly, as this was
the first time they had noticed it.
ORELL
What? I meant to tell you guys!
ERICA
Aghhhh!
She noticed the smell of blood and the stains painting the
walls. CHRISTA wanted to vomit.
CHRISTA
(covering her eyes)
Oh, my gosh! Don't look!
She begins to hyperventilate, as does ERICA, who also panics.
ERICA
Never mind that. What are we gonna
do?!
Then RICHARD went and hugged ERICA. CHRISTA grew a bit
shocked by the display, but ultimately said nothing.
RICHARD
The last thing that you need to do
is panic. Erica, say that you won't
panic.
ERICA
...I won't (Sniffs) panic...
CHRISTA
Dad, you owe us a big explanation.
SUMIKO is dialing a cellphone.

(narrows eyes)
That one is actually what you kids
need to tell me about, which was
interrupted. But now, I'd rather
not talk about it and figure out
how to get out of here.
SUMIKO
This is horrible! What are we to
do? Professor Harrison--
ORELL
So, where is the next exit point?
ERICA and CHRISTA started to whimper. RICHARD pivots his
flashlight, his jaw set, determination evident in his eyes as
he seeks a way out. CHRISTA steps back on something. The
ground shook gently as everybody responded to the tremors.
Light appears and flashes on something. Bones, Skeletons, and
Graves.
ERICA
OMG! What the heck is this place?!
PLEASE, SOMEBODY, just take me
home!
Then ERICA suddenly just grabbed, whipped CHRISTA around, and
started whimpering.
ERICA (CONT’D)
Christa! I didn't know that your
Dad is in this much deep stuff! Now
I'm mad! Why didn't you tell us
that this place was a catacomb?!
ORELL
That is what I bet ALL OF US would
like to know...
RICHARD
Hey! You, kids, have zero idea what
kind of situation this is. This
interrogation stuff is getting out
of hand.
Then, RICHARD began to turn around and take out his
flashlight. Eying the place.
RICHARD (CONT’D)
And as much as this is starting to
make sense, believe me when I
say...
He turned back to the kids.
RICHARD (CONT’D)
This place... was bound to be
something we needed to discover.
About 20 minutes later, after a long trek, they encountered a
situation in another part of the cave. They found a river
that had fresh water. RICHARD began reading.
RICHARD (CONT’D)
Everybody was drinking soundly...
CHRISTA
Dad, don't tell me you're reading
that story again.
ERICA
What story?
RICHARD
The story is about a place called
Nova, once thought of as a myth.
(MORE)
RICHARD (CONT’D)
Its pages entail the details of
every map, every corridor, and
every place from here to there
alone. It's a fantasy world, to be
exact.
He emphasized by showing them the book. A map of Nova is
depicted.
THEODORE
Like, what... like a type of Lord
of the Rings, or Zelda, or...?
RICHARD
Both...Maybe almost all of them.
TOBY
Oh sh--
CHRISTA
--QUESTION. Now that we know that
this place is linked to it in some
form or way, HOW do we find our way
out? Because if it is anything like
Goonies, then we'd better find some
treasure to take home so we can all
get rich quick, and speed outta
here!
RICHARD
(shakes head)
No. NO taking ANYTHING from here.
ORELL
Why not?
RICHARD
Because, unlike the movies, it's
real.
CHRISTA
NOW. It should be to get more
answers.
RICHARD
NOT, until later. NOW we get
ourselves to safety!
RICHARD barked back and pointed behind them. They all heard a
strange crack and turned around. A mega-sized boulder is
coming towards them from a hole, rolling on the rails.
CHRISTA
You gotta be freaking kidding me!
ERICA
Oh no...
KOCHI
RUN!
They began to run and dodge anything that could block their
path.
ERICA
OMG! What else is next?!
CHRISTA
Never mind. Let's just run!
But this boulder keeps going straight and is following almost
the same direction and picking up speed.
CHRISTA (CONT’D)
DAD! What's next!
RICHARD
NEXT, we grab onto anything to the
side. Watch your step and let the
boulder through!
He said as he grabbed a spike towards the left side. CHRISTA
picked the same, as did Erica. SUMIKO, HARU, and ORELL to the
right. KOCHI grabbed the left, and then TOBY picked the left.
But that was too late for THEODORE. There were only solid
walls.
CHRISTA
Theodore!
Then, he was suddenly pressed for the edge. He sprang
forward, leaped for the spike that overhung as much as he
could, going higher and grabbing the spike. The boulder
crashed through it and landed, with him falling equally.
THEODORE is still alive.
SUMIKO
Theo!
ERICA
Theo! Are you okay down there?
THEODORE
Don't worry... I'm alright.
Hurry...
RICHARD quickly slides the manuscript to CHRISTA.
RICHARD
I have another copy.
He declared as she opened it and began to read.
CHRISTA
...The Hidden Catacombs...
The group is finally on the lower level. Everybody was
looking around anxiously for THEODORE. However, he was gone,
vanished without a trace.
ERICA
Where is he?
CHRISTA
(turns to Richard
worriedly)
Dad...? Where is this wall?
RICHARD points in front, a foreboding darkness clouded in fog
before being revealed by the flashlight.
RICHARD
Across the long bridge.
The group began walking across the bridge until they reached
the other end. They see a massive wall.
RICHARD (CONT’D)
We need to look at this wall.
SUMIKO began to read it, but her eyes widened with each new
revelation. Sweat was trickling down her face.
SUMIKO
T-This can't be...
ERICA
What?!
SUMIKO
Erica~san...Minna (everyone)
...this wall...talks of a legend. A
prophecy. About other worlds: an
ancient evil is seeking to consume
them all. But in this cyclonic war
of good vs evil. A Chosen One will
appear in this new land, to aid the
chosen Hero of Legend--with maidens
and princesses. Time would, at some
point, be influenced. The place had
to be sealed.

Oh, so you really are with them? If

A rugged man came out in a safari outfit, along with about
fifteen other men behind him.
DEMETRIUS (CONT’D)
That is beyond strange...
The crew all had their hands up. Guns were pointed at the
archaeological team. Shock was evident on Richard's face.
RICHARD
It can't be...
DEMETRIUS
--Believe it, Professor! You
thought you could get away from
taking what had belonged to both of
us. So here we are...
RICHARD
WHAT?! No. That belonged to our
professor. The one you helped get
killed. Had you not touched a
single thing, NOBODY would have
suffered losses. This was all your
fault!
ORELL was hit in the left leg.
CHRISTA
ORELL!
ORELL yelled in pain. They were all in shock. CHRISTA
couldn't believe that he had gotten hurt like this. Then, she
began to see the back of her.
CHRISTA (V.O.)
WHO was this man?!
ORELL
Argh! He just shot my leg!
DEMETRIUS
And that mouth of yours would be
next if you keep it up, kid. I am
not afraid to kill.
CHRISTA tried to help, but DEMETRIUS grabbed her and held her
hostage.
RICHARD
No, Demetrius!
CHRISTA gasps in shock at the sound of the name.
CHRISTA
Demetrius!?
CHRISTA (V.O.)
The same guy that Dad spoke about
to Mom and me when I was little?
There is no way... Not the same
man, he swore he made a mistake
when he...left the man behind...
DEMETRIUS
Oh, so you didn't tell your
daughter enough details, huh? Well,
I suggest that you hand over the
key as well. Because if you don't,
then everyone else will suffer.
Starting with Kochi.
KOCHI

Idiot! You think killing me is

The seal encompasses the transport
to Nova. The world beyond our
world. Some become immortal. Stuck
in time. They tried to send
messages to me through dreams. But
I refused. Sefredina--
RICHARD
--Let Christa go, Demetrius! She
has nothing to do with this!
DEMETRIUS
Oh, I know she would be the one to
handle what I couldn't. That is why
I know she would be the one to help
undo it. Unlike your other friend,
who was with you. Yep. Know about
him, too.
RICHARD
What did you do?
DEMETRIUS
I did nothing. But they probably
took him.
CHRISTA (V.O.)
They?
DEMETRIUS wasn't giving up. But Richard, looking on defeated,
had decided to give the key to him in hopes of CHRISTA's
safety.
CHRISTA
Dad...
Then suddenly, he had his men leave only a few to stay
behind; the rest would follow to where the seal was located.
It was a massive chamber. Tall statues of knights surrounded
them from the ground level to the 8th level, encircling. They
gasped.
CHRISTA (CONT’D)
...What is this place?
DEMETRIUS grins with glee.
DEMETRIUS
The Chamber!
RICHARD, visibly furious, eyed Demetrius dangerously.
RICHARD
You knew about this place...
DEMETRIUS
Times are hard. Gotta do something.
TOBY cautiously examined a body. It was dead, unmoving, until
something glinted red in its eyes.
TOBY
Is that a ruby...?
UNDEAD CORPSE
SAAAAAAA!
TOBY
AHHHHH!
TOBY screamed for dear life! Everyone gasped, and ERICA
pointed in shock.
ERICA
LOOK!
Corpses had overrun the place, and they became animated.
KOCHI
Oh snap! Run!
But the chamber closed on them. They were trapped. Everybody
hid behind the men who had guns. Nothing was working. ORELL
took one of the swords with his injured leg and attacked. It
worked. When Orell went for two more, they dropped the swords
by accident. Kochi caught on and grabbed it. As did Toby. The
rest stood behind.
DEMETRIUS tsked and pushed CHRISTA out of the way, and ran to
the seal. He had a different piece and connected them,
becoming whole. He placed the pendant-like key into the
keyhole and touched on the seal itself. It turned and glowed
a dark purple.
CHRISTA
Oh no...
He got distracted as an undead had attacked him and ran out
of the way, and CHRISTA saw this as a chance to get the key
out before it was too late. She struggled to remove it and
accidentally touched the wall.
The seal turned counterclockwise and slightly glowed. Then,
with the opportune moment, she pulled harder and was
successful. She was excited -- She finally got the key out.
RICHARD
Christa! What did you do?!
However, CHRISTA's victory was short-lived as the key hummed
and it glowed, not realizing that the seal had unleashed
itself. They could hear the undead begin to cry out in pain
and succumb to the light that was from the portal that was
opened. They were sucked in, as was Demetrius.
CHRISTA
No!!!
The intense flash blinded her, and this wind came out of
nowhere. Tendrils of light surround her, overwhelm, and grab
on to her.
RICHARD
Christa!
He grabbed at CHRISTA's arm, trying not to let her go.
CHRISTA
Dad! What is happening?!
RICHARD
Hold on!
He said, struggling suddenly. She was yanked backward, and
something intense, some type of energy, pulsed and pushed
RICHARD back before she was suddenly desperately crying out
for him. She blacks out.
RICHARD (CONT’D)
Christa!
The portal closed -- Sparkles left in its wake. RICHARD fell
to his knees. The others are grappling with the aftermath.
ERICA
Christa...? CHRISTA!
A strong heartbeat was heard. This alerted PRINCESS ELIANA.
Another heartbeat pulsed. But this time, a witch named
SEFREDINA looked around from her dark tower and reached for
her window. PRINCESS ELIANA is running towards her window to
see what is happening.
SEFREDINA
(eagerly)
So...
PRINCESS ELIANA
It has begun...

The Chosen One's Awakening
INT. CHAMBER OF TIME'S ENTRANCE - DAY
A droplet of water dropped on CHRISTA'S face as she stirred
and opened her eyes.
She started to question. CHRISTA looked around and realized
she was in another type of chamber. Unbeknownst to her, she
is already in Nova, the world beyond our world.
CHRISTA
Dad?!! Erica?!! Toby, Orell! What
on earth is this place?! Where am I
now?!
Fear begins to strike. Looking in her backpack, she found her
flashlight, but it was broken. She tried to reach out to her
dad on her cellphone. It had zero bars. Signal lost. Pulling
out the manuscript, she begins to read in shock.
CHRISTA (CONT’D)
This is like what Sumiko said...,
Nova: meaning 'Anew', (stammers) W-
Wait a minute...Orcs...? The
Hero...Chosen One...A Sword of
Destiny is to be unlocked by
gathering jewels scattered across
Verenia?! This has to be a
dream...a really bad dream...
But then she hears a horse.
CHRISTA (CONT’D)
Wait a minute. A horse?! That means
there is life on the other side of
this piece of rock!
She rushes over to the small opening. Through it, she sees
VARON and ESTELLA. He spoke soothingly and was feeding her.
Yet, CHRISTA couldn't for the life of her understand the
language. He was speaking in Novian.
CHRISTA (CONT’D)
What language is he speaking...I
wonder...
She mutters under her breath. Suddenly, ESTELLA whines and
looks towards where CHRISTA is, as does Varon. Suspicious, he
looks straight ahead, as if he were staring right at her.
VARON grabbed something from his pocket. It was a small
flute. VARON started playing a tune. CHRISTA suddenly had an
urge to step away before the whole cave shook.
CHRISTA (CONT’D)
Then, as if wondering about what
was happening,
Pretending to be reading from the book. She shoved as much as
she could in the backpack and screamed for dear life. Dirt
fell on top of her. VARON gasped, crying out to her in
Novian. Running over, he grabs her arm and pulls her with
him.
Once outside, it finally collapses.
CHRISTA (CONT’D)
Who are you?!
VARON
(speaking in English)
I should be asking you the same
question. What the heck were you
doing in there?!
CHRISTA
You speak English?!
VARON
--Novian.
CHRISTA
Novian is English?
VARON
No. I know nothing about 'En--
glish'. Apparently... you speak
Novian.
CHRISTA was utterly confused and vigorously shook her head.
CHRISTA
No, no, no, no, no. English is not
Novian, and Novian can't be
English. It just can't. I could
have sworn you were speaking
another language.
VARON
I was speaking to my horse, no
different than talking to you.
CHRISTA (V.O.)
Forget how handsome the guy is. He
scares the crap out of me...
CHRISTA
Who are you?
VARON, shocked at her demand, intended to look intimidating.
CHRISTA felt like showing that she wasn't afraid. He relented
and begrudgingly answered her.
VARON
Varon...
CHRISTA
Vaaron?
VARON
(shakes head)
No. Varon. Like air and run. I've
seen anybody like you before. Now,
why are you here?
He was agitated. VARON, despite his reservations, didn't like
outsiders, even if it is women. He is the forest's protector.
CHRISTA
I don't know...
VARON
You're lying--
CHRISTA
If only I were, which I'm not. I
just got here, and then I saw you
and your horse. I already told you,
if I haven't already. I don't KNOW
how I got here.
VARON scoffs and waves her dismissively.
VARON
Just get outta here, already! This
place is sacred, and you must know--
VARON stops himself suddenly and looks over CHRISTA
suspiciously. Her clothing, her demeanor, until he notices...
VARON (CONT’D)
The Key...
CHRISTA turns on her heels and flees.
VARON (CONT’D)
Wait!
VARON swiftly gets into an archer's stance in the blink of an
eye, notches, and attempts a warning shot. It hit a nearby
tree, flying past her cheek. This startles her. CHRISTA
screams.
CHRISTA
Ogh! This guy is going to kill me!
She continues to run, and a flurry of arrows shoots past her.
VARON
Halt! Stop! Don't make me have to
detain you by force, little one!
CHRISTA slides on the hill as she attempts to regain her
footing. She keeps dodging him through the forest, but it's
becoming increasingly complex as she doesn't know the terrain
as well as VARON does. This is his territory.
But just as VARON was about to make a definite strike,
CHRISTA ducks at the last minute. He silently curses as she
quickly maneuvers in directions to disorient him.
CHRISTA
Who the heck would chase a girl
with a bow and arrow and a sword
from the back?! This is a bloody
nightmare!
She fumed.
VARON
You! Who the heck are you?! Are you
with that witch, Sefredina?
CHRISTA
What witch?! I don't know anything
about a witch! I don't mess with
witches or witchcraft! Get away
from me!
She reaches the bottom of a steep hill as a village with
farmland is up ahead. She reached the nearest one and saw a
man tilling the land, about in his late forties, JACAIS. He
notices her running towards him, a worried expression on his
face.
JACAIS
Hey, miss. What is wrong?
CHRISTA
Some crazy guy tried to kill me,
and he called himself 'Varon'.
That's what!
She points in the direction from which she came. Then looks
back at JACAIS.
CHRISTA (CONT’D)
You tell that crazy guy that: 'I
don't care how handsome he thinks
he is, he isn't going to get that
arrow going through like that!'
She huffs in anger.
JACAIS
Varon Of The Daskan Forest?!
JACAIS (V.O) (CONT’D)
Why would he do this? This is not
like him.
He turns to look at her.
JACAIS (CONT’D)
How can he...? You're certain it's
Varon.
CHRISTA
Yes! I'm certain because he told me
in some part of the forest, not too
far from here! Because this guy
wants something from me, and I need
help. Please help me!
JACAIS
That place sounds like the
Temple... or Sacred Grounds.
He nods.
JACAIS(CONT'D) (CONT’D)
All right. Let me handle this; hide
in my house.
She did just that, and suddenly, a little boy was there.
JACAIS' son ANCIAN. About eleven years old.
CHRISTA
Please hide! There is a man
outside. Your Dad told me to hide
in here.
ANCIAN takes CHRISTA's hand without delay.
ANCIAN
Come with me! Hide under the floor
panels!
She did as he told her. And the little boy stood over
CHRISTA, overhead the hidden compartment. VARON came out of
the forest, and the man suddenly acted like nothing had
happened. VARON looked increasingly around, hoping to find
her. He notices JACAIS and approaches him.
VARON
You, sir! I'm sorry to bother you.
But have you seen a young woman
somewhere?
JACAIS
My young man! There are plenty of
young, beautiful women all around
the village. What brings you back
to Dannasa, Varon?
VARON
Dannasa is beautiful, as are its
people and young women. However,
no. There is a woman who isn't of
these parts. Probably none of this
land. Jacais, do you have an idea?
VARON frowns as does JACAIS.
JACAIS
None of the least. My guess is this
one is fast, eh?
He questioned, almost a little too eagerly. He got upset at
himself for saying anything.
VARON
What? (Pauses briefly) Just by what
you're saying. Does this one sound
like somebody who could be a spy?
JACAIS
Well, now. You'd better find the
lass, eh?
VARON nodded and then sped off, calling for ESTELLA in the
meantime with his flute.
JACAIS (CONT’D)
Your flute works well.
VARON
Thanks. But I have to find her. If
you see her, please call me. Do not
tell her that I'm looking for her.
JACAIS
Wait. Ye two know each other?
VARON (O.S.)
Not really!
He sped off on ESTELLA and rushed to get to the next town.
ANCIAN
Okay, the coast is clear!
He opened the floorboards, and suddenly, she could finally
breathe again. The floorboards creak as the view of JACAIS'
boot comes into view.
JACAIS
Lass, I have some words for you. If
you are not a friend of Varon, I
strongly advise against getting
involved with us.
He warns. CHRISTA slowly crept backwards in fear.
CHRISTA
Sir, I am sorry. I didn't mean to
cause harm. If you let me explain,
I'll tell you what happened.
JACAIS
Tells us what?
CHRISTA
I'm from another world. I'm not
from around here!-- I was
kidnapped. Sucked into this portal
after the seal had broken.
JACAIS
The seal?!
CHRISTA
To Nova. To this place.
JACAIS
You mean, you're not an enemy?
CHRISTA
I don't know anything about a
witch.
JACAIS widens his eyes at CHRISTA. An epiphany hits.
JACAIS
It cannot be...
ANCIAN
Dad?
JACAIS
Sefredina. A witch who leaves ruin
in her wake. It is said that the
Chosen One will hail from another
world. To help the Hero save both
worlds from terror. From the
ominous Scourge King...
CHRISTA
Who is Varon?
JACAIS
He is... a hero of his own.

Confrontation in Daskan Village
EXT. INSIDE THE DASKAN FOREST - DAY
ILHARD, GYLAN, and HAMES of the Ironclad Guild are with
CHRISTA, as JACAIS stood behind to watch over his son.
CHRISTA is riding with HAMES in front of him. They are on
horseback in the Daskan Forest--a fantastical like woods with
bioluminescence, fireflies, and more.
CHRISTA remembers an earlier conversation.
JACAIS (V.O.)
This is the Land of Verenia...
A flashback shows JACAIS slapping the land map on the table,
pointing to various locations.
JACAIS
This is Dannasa. You came from the
temple area, known as the Chamber
of Time, located within the Daskan
Forest. Varon is the protector and
guardian of this place. He's
hostile for a reason, as he
disapproves of outsiders. Just
doing his job.
ILHARD
You must have stumbled into a world
of trouble facing Varon, just to
get him on his bad side. So,
lass... What did ye do?
CHRISTA
Nothing. Just some touchy guy with
a chip on his shoulder.
ILHARD throws his head back in laughter.
ILHARD
Aye! And a bad one too!
JACAIS
Enough! We have bigger matters to
attend to. They will escort you to
their leader. Ernard.
As the flashback ends, GYLAN is attacking slime monsters,
much to CHRISTA'S immediate shock.
CHRISTA
What the heck was that?!
GYLAN
Slimes, that's what...
HAMES
Seeing them around only proves
we're on the right track.
ILHARD
Aye. And I take it that this isn't
and won't be the last time we see
them.
Within an hour, they have reached the front gates of the
Daskan Village. Two preteens stood guard as the eternal
children of the forest are ageless.
DYLAN
Halt! State your business!
GYLAN
I am Gylan Armstead; this is Ilhard
Yieldman, Hames Thomatiaus, and
Christa Malone. We have to speak to
your leader about an important
matter.
The boys looked at each other silently before turning back to
them.
DYLAN
Dylan. And that is Tomas. We have
an emergency. Come back later.
GYLAN
But this is an emergency also!
TOMAS
This is much worse. Sir Varon
warned us that a young girl in
strange clothing is going around,
not detained.
CHRISTA gasped and widened her eyes.
DYLAN
But fine. Make it quick.
DYLAN signals with a whistle to open the gates. The gates
open, allowing the group to enter. They see many Daskan
children around as well as adults. A group of women appeared
and hurried to introduce themselves. ROSA takes CHRISTA's
hand.
ROSA
Come with us, quickly. Sir Varon is
coming...
A horn sound interrupts the group, as ROSA and two other
girls drag CHRISTA out of sight, while VARON arrives on
ESTELLA, quickly dismounting as he strides towards the men.
VARON
What is the meaning of this?
He notices ILHARD, GYLAN, and HAMES.
VARON (CONT’D)
(scoffs)
Well, well, well. If it isn't the
Guild of the IRONCLAD. What brings
you three into my domain?
ILHARD steps forward.
ILHARD
Whatever you plan to do with the
girl, cease it! It is not what you
think.
VARON huffed.
ILHARD (CONT’D)
You know official business. She
told her side of the story. Take
the matters to the King.
VARON deflated dramatically, feeling utterly defeated.
VARON
If she is from another world...But
fine. Please have her see me when
she is well enough. Let her tell me
herself... Especially since you all
are so willing to protect her. An
'outsider...'

Tension at Ilyria's Inn
INT. ILYRIA'S INN - LATE EVENING
CHRISTA
ORCS?!
ILYRIA roughly grabbed CHRISTA's shoulder.
ILYRIA
(finger to lip)
Shhh! Are you trying to scare off
my guests from the Inn?!
A knock came from the door. Startling the girls. But the men
knew who it was. GYLAN grabs the door, seeing a stoic VARON
on the opposite side as the men have their talk. VARON eyes
CHRISTA suspiciously as VARON continues talking, agreeing to
be inspected and handing over all of his weapons.
All of them. They patted him down. About two minutes passed
as VARON and CHRISTA were alone in the room.
VARON
I see...you really are from another
world.
CHRISTA
I told you so...why didn't you
believe me!
VARON
I did what I had to do. To protect
my people from outsiders...How did
you get here?
CHRISTA
I was whisked here. I already told
you that.
VARON
And this man...' Demetrius', had
another half of this strange key?
Intriguing...But nevertheless...
He shifts on his seat. But after a moment of reflecting..
VARON (CONT’D)
...Very well. Get your rest. For
tomorrow we ride, to Castle
Verenia...
People are celebrating outside, drinking, and dancing to
music. VARON shyly takes a sip of wine, and a disoriented
CHRISTA dreads her impending future.
CHRISTA (V.O.)
Ca--Castle Verenia?!

Journey Through Verenia Fields
EXT. DASKAN FOREST TO VERENIA FIELDS - DAY
VARON & CHRISTA are riding on ESTELLA through the dense
morning fog. It is crispy in the morning, as CHRISTA is
wearing VERENIAN clothing with a shawl.
CHRISTA MALONE
(mutters)
Now what...?
CHRISTA gasps as ESTELLA picks up speed gradually until they
reach the forest's edge and... sprints out in a dash! A
testament of equestrian might as she races through the fields
of Verenia.
She is in awe as she discovers this new world. Vast,
beautiful, and open. They encounter wild horses galloping
beside them as if to follow.
CHRISTA's fears dissipate as VARON notices and slightly
smiles, now determined to show off his connection to ESTELLA.
As they ride to Amythis Town. VARON’s childhood home.
VARON
Hang on tight!
VARON got ESTELLA into a stop. He gets off, followed by
CHRISTA. It was getting misty once more.
CHRISTA
What’s going on? Where are we?
VARON
This. Is the Verenian fields. Many
monsters sadly like to...
Suddenly, slimes had appeared.
CHRISTA
(screams)
Oh no, not again!
VARON
Do you wanna take a chance and find
out?
VARON got into a fighter’s stance. CHRISTA suddenly got a
stick that was next to a rock close by. VARON suddenly
chuckled.
CHRISTA
What the heck is so funny?
VARON
Do you think that stick is the best
way to defeat them?
CHRISTA
Hey! I would rather take a stick
than be stuck being a damsel.
VARON
A damsel, you say? Oh, that’s rich.
I get to finally show you what this
world is really like.
The slimes finally attacked. VARON moved backwards before
dodging the attacks. He pivoted and then slashed.
CHRISTA
I got to do something. Or else this
kid is going to get himself killed.
CHRISTA began to attack it herself. Hoping that it would
land. But they kept moving.
VARON
Stay out of the fighting!
CHRISTA
No!
She attempted again. But no matter what she did, it only went
through them. VARON stepped in and grabbed her out of the way
before the slimes attempted once more.
VARON
Christa! You can’t defeat them with
a regular stick.
CHRISTA
Then what the heck am I supposed to
do?
VARON
Just trust me and stand back!
VARON rushed past her and leaped in the air as his sword
glowed, and he sliced them down one by one. CHRISTA was
astonished by what VARON did.
CHRISTA
Where did they come from?
VARON
Slimes have been around for
centuries.
CHRISTA
No. I mean.
Then VARON began to realize what she meant.
VARON
Oh, you mean how they appear?
Nobody knows. They just spring up
whenever they want. But those grass
slimes were the worst.
CHRISTA
Why is that?
Then VARON eyes her mysteriously.
VARON
You see the way they came and
attacked us, right?
CHRISTA nods.
CHRISTA
Yeah, but now what do we do? Are we
lost?
VARON
No. It will take us about two hours
to get to the next town.
CHRISTA
Two hours?!
Suddenly, they heard a sound. The snapping of trees. It was a
large thud. VARON and CHRISTA looked at each other nervously
before she gulped as it continued.
VARON
Christa...get on the horse. Now!
CHRISTA
What? What is it?!
VARON
Never mind that. Just get on!
VARON boosts CHRISTA onto ESTELLA as he gets on after her.
The thud grows louder, sending CHRISTA into a panic. But
VARON guides ESTELLA into a gallop immediately.
As they rode, they kept moving away from the area. CHRISTA
looks behind. She widened her eyes and screamed.
CHRISTA
I knew I should have just stayed
home!
VARON
Too late for that! Now shut up!
It was a giant Stone Titan coming after them. But it was slow
because of its large, stiff frame. VARON halts ESTELLA once
more so they can see the enemy. It stopped moving.
CHRISTA
Please tell me you’re not thinking
about fighting that thing?!
VARON
Are you kidding me? That thing will
pound us into a wallop if I dare
think about it.
CHRISTA
Will it go on its own?
VARON
Maybe. Just maybe. But for now, I’d
rather see what it will do.
The Stone Titan, with its rocky exterior and glowing eyes,
looked everywhere. VARON began shifting ESTELLA into a trot.
CHRISTA was thankful that they were beginning to move out of
its way.
CHRISTA
That was close.
She noticed that VARON was holding her slightly closer.
CHRISTA (CONT’D)
Uh, what are you doing?
VARON
Huh? N-Nothing!
He suddenly loosens his grip as they continue. Soon they
spotted a resting place and VARON’s eyes CHRISTA even more.
She looked around and heard wildlife. The sun is now high in
the sky.
CHRISTA
If anybody were to tell me that I
would be stuck in some fantasy
world, I would say they were nuts.
VARON
A fantasy? Is that what you think
this is? Because I can assure you
this world is as real as the ground
beneath our feet.
CHRISTA notices that VARON gathered a pile of wood and lit a
match. He creates a bonfire.
CHRISTA
Wait. Are we staying here?
VARON
For now, until we ride off straight
as I said before.
CHRISTA began looking around, still in disbelief about where
she was.
CHRISTA
This is all too vivid. Surreal
even.
Then VARON offered his hand.
VARON
Come. You will help me.
CHRISTA
Help you?
VARON
To get water, carry supplies.
Things of such nature for out here
in the wild.
VARON gave her a water bucket.
VARON (CONT’D)
Unless you don’t want breakfast.
They began traveling in the nearby woods. The trees were
thick, and it reminded CHRISTA of how she got there.
CHRISTA
I thought we rode out from the
Daskan Forest?
VARON
The Daskan Forest is vast, Christa.
You’ll come to learn that over
time.
CHRISTA shrugs and holds on to the bucket. She remembers a
strange dream she had the night at the Inn.
In CHRISTA’s dream. A strange man in an outfit, who looked
just like VARON, but his back turned, defends her from a
snake-like monster.
She tried to grab a rock, but was held back. The key began to
hum the moment their hands touched. Powering up a mysterious
object known as the Sword of Destiny. But CHRISTA nor VARON
yet know.
He pulls CHRISTA with him, and they run to hide somewhere.
CHRISTA
Who are you?
Suddenly, she hears DEMETRIUS’s laughter in the background.
As if speaking through the snake.
DEMETRIUS
Poor little Christa. Did you think
you could escape me?
CHRISTA
Demetrius? No. It can’t be. You
were sucked into the void!
The gigantic snake, its scales gleaming, moves as it begins
to attack DREAM VARON. However, the Sword of Destiny glows as
DREAM VARON did a war cry, going head-on with the snake. The
dream ended.
CHRISTA suddenly hears VARON’S voice.
VARON
Hey! Christa? Christa!
CHRISTA
What?!
VARON moved back, stunned by her outburst.
VARON
Look, come down. You froze, then
blinked out.
CHRISTA
I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to get
distracted.
VARON
Then try to keep up.
CHRISTA narrowed at him before VARON began to move again.
They reached a riverbank where the water was flowing
smoothly. It was a moment where CHRISTA gathered the water
into the bucket and stared at the fish.
VARON began catching the fish on his own.
CHRISTA
You’re pretty good.
VARON ultimately says nothing. He continued to catch them as
a bear would.
Moments later, they began cooking the fish by the fire.
VARON
Tell me. What made you decide to
fight all of a sudden?
CHRISTA
I didn’t know what else to do. I
thought you were going to get
killed.
VARON shook his head.
VARON
I guess the Ironclad never told you
how skillful a warrior I am.
CHRISTA
It doesn’t matter. Anything can
change.
VARON looks at her strangely. His hand was visibly shaking.
VARON
I have a question. Do you think
that it was fated that we should
have met?
CHRISTA hitched as VARON stared at her intentionally.
CHRISTA
I dunno. I never experienced
anything like this before.
VARON
Figures. An outsider doesn’t know a
darn thing about survival.
CHRISTA
Hey, I do too!
VARON
Like what? Do you know how to start
a fire?
CHRISTA
No?
VARON
How about nock an arrow?
CHRISTA
I never tried.
VARON
Have you even picked up a sword?
Because I can tell you have bad
form.
CHRISTA
Look. Are you going to mock me
while I’m eating my meal?
VARON smirks and then shakes his head again. He finishes his
fish and then begins packing up everything. Putting out the
fire.
VARON
Time to go.
CHRISTA
Already?
VARON
Yes. We can’t be out here without
expecting more monsters.
As he continued, he began to think about the meeting at the
castle the day before.
CHRISTA and VARON are already on ESTELLA after having their
breakfast. They galloped until a town began to come into view
in the distance.
VARON stops ESTELLA to get a good peek. CHRISTA gasped when
she saw that the town was small.
CHRISTA
What is that place?
VARON
That is Amythis. My hometown.
ESTELLA began to move slowly.
CHRISTA
I thought we were heading to the
castle?
VARON
Oh, we will. You don’t worry about
that.
Then. He pointed further ahead.
VARON (CONT’D)
Look closely.

The Disappearance of Molly
EXT. AMYTHIS TOWN -- DAY
The streets are bustling, with merchants showing their wares.
Some argue for a price, while others exchange coins for wild
animals. ESTELLA trouts softly as CHRISTA is visibly stunned.
A man that VARON knows, GIANN, seeks him in the crowd.
GIANN
VARON! Sir Varon!
VARON
(mutters in Christa's ear)
Stay quiet...Speak nothing unless
spoken to...
VARON halts ESTELLA on the road as GIANN catches up.
VARON (CONT’D)
Sir Giann..., what can I do for
you?
GIANN
(speaking out of breath)
Sir Varon...(gasps) It's her.
Molly...she has been taken...
VARON
Taken? Taken by who? Or what?!
GIANN shakes his head.
GIANN
(speaking softly)
We don't know... Nobody knows where
she went...
In a distant memory, a scream and a monstrous howl. Recalling
the recent event.
GIANN (CONT’D)
This happened in the middle of the
night as she was walking home from
an errand. It was foggy -- No
traces of her, except, by this...
GIANN reveals a red scarf of MOLLY'S, which VARON tantly
accepts, and is full of sadness. She was only fourteen.
CHRISTA
I don't mean to intrude, but...who
is Molly?
VARON hitched and froze as GIANN noticed CHRISTA and frowned.
GIANN
Um, Sir Varon...I didn't know you
had company...
VARON
She is just an outsider. None to
be... concerned about...

Escape from Oppression
INT. VARON'S HOME - DAY

CHRISTA's arm as she struggles, and slams the door shut.
VARON (CONT’D)
Didn't I tell you to stay quiet?!
CHRISTA
I didn't do ANYTHING! Let me go!
VARON
You're lucky, little one...that
your tongue didn't get cut off for
your disobedience!
He shoves her in front of him.
VARON (CONT’D)
Have your parents ever taught you
to listen to a man when he gives
you an order? Especially for your
protection and his reputation?
He closes the gap.
VARON (CONT’D)
I don't care where you come
from...or how widely accepted for a
woman to speak out of turn...here,
we have rules, we have laws. And as
long as you're under my care, you
will obey them...
He pulls back.
VARON (CONT’D)
If you expect to survive...
Somebody is knocking on the door. VARON slightly growls in
annoyance and quickly shoves CHRISTA's modern clothing to
her.
VARON (CONT’D)
Get dressed... And you better not
move or touch anything...
VARON quickly left the room and attended to the door. CHRISTA
looks around, notices an open window as she plans her escape,
and opens it. Pushing past the townsfolk, she finds her way
out of town into a nearby forest. As it grows dense in the
clearing, she hears a loud voice.

Mi lady! Something happened to the

guarding the northern gates.
PRINCESS ELIANA
Salma and Hirou!
She quickly runs out of the room and into the THRONE ROOM.
She gasps seeing KING AMALDUS III already there, and a guest
she had not seen in years. FERDINA, LADY of ERKHAN.
FERDINA
Princess, it has been a long

KING AMALDUS III
What is the status?
SOLDIER ONE
We don't know! All we know is that
the soldiers had been attacked.
DOMHNALL
Currently, we don't know what
creature was involved.
KING AMALDUS III
That doesn't make any sense. Either
a creature did it, or a person did
it: one or the other. You're
assuming it is when you don't even
know what it was.
DOMHNALL
That is the whole point, sire. We
have compelling evidence that it
was a creature, but we cannot
determine what kind of creature did
such a thing.
KING AMALDUS III
Lady Ferdina of Erkhan. What is
your assessment of this situation?
FERDINA
It has to be Orcs...
EVERYONE
Orcs?!
KING AMALDUS III
Your father had sent you.
FERDINA
Wernhert is going through it and
hasn't been well. However, he
trusts our alliance. Quietly, this
ambush was done.

RUGORIM.
RUGORIM
Gomoku...
URUL
Ah, you're thinking about home now.
CHRISTA turns around and hides herself against a tree.
Pleading for God to help her. She couldn't believe it.
URUL (CONT’D)
The girl is somewhere here,
RUGORIM
From what you can tell...
URUL
Aye, Sefredina is certain, she's
nearby...
CHRISTA jetted back to VARON's hometown. Until you can hear a
large thud, thud, THUD. CHRISTA internally panicked until she
was lifted off the ground by a giant hand. She screamed.
URUL (CONT’D)
(smirking)
FOOOOUUUUNNNDDDD YOOOOOUUUU...
CHRISTA gasped. They attempted to crush her.
RUGORIM
I think we should have some fun...
What do you think? Brother?
URUL
Aye...fun we shall...
But as they attempted, she nearly passed out. Until an arrow
with some strange light flew by. She became lightweight and
was immediately caught by VARON. He came into a skid.
CHRISTA'S eyes barely opened. VARON looked at her, panting.
VARON

A Night of Urgency and Secrets
INT. AMYTHIS - VARON'S HOME - NIGHT
CHRISTA gasped awake as she was back inside VARON's home. He
begins to comfort her, gently calming her down. She could
hardly move.
VARON
Don't move...you've been injured.
She tried again.
VARON (CONT’D)
Hey, please sit still. Not until
you're healed. Those Orcs tried to
mess with you.
CHRISTA swats his hand away.
CHRISTA
Don't touch me... Where am I?
VARON
Back in my home.
CHRISTA
And those creatures?
VARON
You don't need to worry about
them... You're safe here. You're
safe with me...
CHRISTA
What did you do?
VARON gave her a determined, yet protective look.
VARON
I took care of them.
In a flashback, we see RUGORIM injured, while URUL is visibly
angry as VARON holds his bow & arrow.
URUL
YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS, VARON! You
attacked Rugorim!
RUGORIM is holding his left shoulder with smoke coming from
it. VARON nocked an arrow.
VARON
I don't care what your names are!
You went and attacked somebody
else. A girl at that! Tell me--who
sent you lots!
VARON warned as he readied his arrow at them again. It was
almost a light arrow that burned RUGORIM.
RUGORIM
Brother, nothing will stop this
arrow...
URUL
NOO!
VARON
Explain!
URUL begins to seethe.
URUL
Sefredina demanded that we bring
the girl. She had better use for
her than she did for one of her
friends...Theo something.
VARON
What?!
He slightly lowered it and eyed behind him.
RUGORIM
That's right. Christa is the key,
not so much the necklace. Had it
been only the necklace, it would
just be the necklace. But you
didn't hear it from me.
VARON got angry, and the arrow began to glow from its tip to
the end of it.
VARON
You know... I am REALLY not in a
good mood...Take your brother, and
GO...
As the flashback ended, CHRISTA gasped in pain, and VARON
began to give her some tea.
CHRISTA
Why are you suddenly being nice to
me? How come I was able to
understand you?
VARON
Can not a stranger make amends? The
flute. The melody I used must have
entered and changed the perception
of your hearing. It is said it can
do that to specific individuals.
Somehow, you heard it. Now, I need
to see your key.
CHRISTA tried to shift the necklace out. But the Key is
dulled to the eyes and touch. VARON gently appraises it.
VARON (CONT’D)
The key...it's dulled. Just as I
feared.
CHRISTA
What?
VARON
It scattered, this rainbow light,
in many directions. I have a...a
bad feeling. Its essence spread.
We must make our way to Castle
Verenia at once!
A HEALER is wringing a cloth and gently patting down
CHRISTA'S face tenderly. He called for VARON to speak in
private.
HEALER
She may not ride for another three
days.
VARON
Three days!? We have no time. She
will ride with me at first dawn...
HEALER
And risk her life with broken ribs?
I would think you would have much
more sympathy than that...Sir
Varon...
VARON

We will gently ride. I am not so
cruel as to see a woman suffer...
ESTELLA's hooves as she rides to the Castletown. Soldiers
halt them immediately. The doors burst open. KING AMALDUS III
is in shock.

Sir Varon...I see you have
returned.

VARON bowed.

CHRISTA
It was there... in the catacombs! A
man that my father knew, Demetrius,
was holding all of us hostage,
including myself.
VARON clenched his fists.
PRINCESS ELIANA
So what had happened?
CHRISTA
Demetrius had a weapon...
They egged her on.
CHRISTA (CONT’D)
A gun! Something you don't know
about. But he went after one of my
friends and attacked us. He shot at
my friend's leg and then had me in
a chokehold.
She stuttered. Remembering the grip he held, the bruises
around her neck.
VARON
That would explain how I found
those bruises on you earlier... S-
Sorry! It wasn't like that at all.
I just thought you got injured when
I saw you. Now it makes sense.
PRINCESS ELIANA
This Demetrius sounds evil. The
thought of him. I can sense an
impending darkness about him. You
were brave to fend for yourself and
others.
CHRISTA then displays the key, desperate to get it off her
hands.
CHRISTA
I'd rather you people have it! I
don't want it! If this will cause
problems for my loved ones and me,
and you all need it more than I do,
then please. For the life of me,
take it!
The Key suddenly hummed, and a flash of light emerged. It
floated, and the light intensified. VARON instinctively
protects CHRISTA as the room is shrouded in an eerie glow.
The Key displays the events like a slide show. Everybody was
transfixed in awe...
LADY PRIMA
Hold on! Is that...?
SIR THOMAS CRATE
No doubt about it, it is the hidden

CHRISTA (CONT’D)
I-I don't know!
VARON
You have to remember something!
KING AMALDUS III
VARON, ENOUGH!
VARON shrank back and moved away from CHRISTA. But he stood
close enough next to her in hopes of giving her space. The
key suddenly falls into PRINCESS ELIANA's hands.
KING AMALDUS III (CONT’D)
For now, this will be locked away
for your safety and everyone else.
In the meantime, you will be
assigned to a room where you will
be monitored for your protection.
VARON comes forward and kneels.
VARON
Your Excellency! If I may...I
request that I be assigned to Ms.
Christa for the time being. There
is a reason for this, and I would
rather that be next to her whenever
there is a problem. That way,
nobody else, like those Orcs,
attempts this.
KING AMALDUS III
Very well, then. She is under your

CHRISTA
Now, wait a minute! Why should I

Despite whatever circumstances, let

town was dulled. In the middle of the village was a giant
spore-like monster named SPORAN --VARON, and CHRISTA gasped.

Oh snap.

Christa! Go hide!
VARON begins to battle SPORAN. CHRISTA attempted to hide
behind ESTELLA.

rage as both VARON and Sporan were locked in its loop.
However, VARON successfully cuts SPORAN, but he suddenly got
injured, and some of the poison got to him.
VARON (CONT’D)
AGGGHHHH!
CHRISTA
Varon! No! Get up, please!
VARON struggles to get up. CHRISTA begins to shudder and
shake. But she shook her head. She quickly got the manuscript
and began to read about it. She then looked further at SPORAN
and saw a glow.
CHRISTA (CONT’D)
Varon! You have to cut off the
midsection; it's where the heart
is.
VARON did as he was instructed, and both CHRISTA and he saw
something glow a green color as his sword pierced SPORAN's
flesh. It died off and began to turn into dust. A green gem
came out. VARON tried to touch, but it was too hot for him.
CHRISTA appeared, and suddenly it cools off.
VARON
What the hell was that thing?!

The manuscript named it Sporan. A

He kept a firm hold on her waist while looking around

The gate that we passed on the way

sorry if I'm holding you like this.
However, I would like to ensure

Because if something happens to
you, that would be the end of the

I'm not. I meant it in both ways.
In literal and metaphorical. We

severity of the situation. CHRISTA was thinking a lot. She
started to fall asleep on VARON.

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 CHRISTA 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?
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 (CONT’D)
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 were 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 increased. She
was getting scared now.
DREAM VARON (CONT’D)
When you are scared...
The ground shook. Cracks began to form.
DREAM VARON (CONT’D)
...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 (CONT’D)
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!

Into the Realm of Omeni
EXT. ENTRANCE TO THE REALM OF OMENI - DAY
They passed by a large gate with two enormous statues on
either end.
VARON (CONT’D)
Founders Gate...
VARON notices CHRISTA staring at him.
VARON (CONT’D)
(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 immediately rushed in front
to charge them.
Arrows flew from the dense fog. The guards were prepared
until he guided ESTELLA into a slide and forced her up,
making a quick decision to corner the guards. Gripping
CHRISTA, he dashes away.
VARON (CONT’D)
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 (CONT’D)
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 (CONT’D)
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 (CONT’D)
Um. Varon?
VARON
Stay on the horse.

Indeed, I did. And now you have

PRINCESS ALAWELENA grabs CHRISTA'S hand and leads them along

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.

VARON is looking overhead.

If only I could do it in three as I

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
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 and then eventually 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

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?

Well, get used to it. Complaining
about it never helped anyone.
CHRISTA frowned.
CHRISTA
Look. In case you forgot, I am not

PRINCESS ALAWELENA

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 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 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!

VARON

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.

A Fiery Disruption
EXT. DUN IRMA MOUNTAIN
VARON, CHRISTA, TIPPI, and AONGHUS were riding along the
path. The heat is intense. VARON is eyeing CHRISTA, and he
clears his throat.
VARON
Christa, I know this sounds sudden.
But um, would you like to be my...
friend?
CHRISTA
Huh? What?
VARON
It's just that. I feel bad after
all that has happened. I hope that
we can move past this and maybe
start over if you're amenable to
this, of course.
VARON was interrupted as they all heard a strange cry in the
air. A fire dragon flaps its wings and enters the heart of
the volcano. CHRISTA begins to pale.
CHRISTA
D-Didn't you just kill one?!

Emotional Turmoil
INT. LICHO VILLAGE VILLA
CHRISTA (V.O.)
You have GOT to be KIDDING ME...
VARON
I have to. It's the only way. I
have to do this as part of the
hero's trials...
CHRISTA
But you'll get hurt up there!
VARON
Trust me...I won't get burned to a
crisp...
VARON pulls her into an embrace, much to her shock.
VARON (CONT’D)
I understand this is happening so
fast. Intensely, even. But you have
to trust in me. I would never have
you get hurt, Christa. You're
starting to feel...more...
CHRISTA begins to internally panic and pulls away. She runs,
causing VARON to feel out of place.
VARON (CONT’D)
Christa?
CHRISTA locks her door quickly. VARON knocks and panics at
the other end. Banging on the door.
VARON (CONT’D)
Christa? Christa, open the door!
CHRISTA
No!
VARON
Come on, Christa, please. We were
in a moment. What did I do wrong?
CHRISTA
Nothing! Just go away!
VARON sighs on the other side, then energy emerges from the
door.
VARON
Christa...you need to calm down. I
would never hurt you. You know
this. But like it or not, you can't
keep running from this...from what
is happening between us.
CHRISTA
I'm not running.
VARON
You are...But I won't push further.
I have to go now...just...
As he retreats, the energy recedes. CHRISTA slides down the
door. Stunned, completely fazed, and breathing hard.
INT. VARON'S GUEST ROOM -DAY
The water is running, and VARON wipes his face with it. He
notices the slight scar on the left side of his chest. A
remembrance of previous battles. His look? Determination.

AONGHUS
Are you ready, Varon?
VARON
Ready than you are...
AONGHUS smirks in response. The fire dragon is waiting. They
unsheathed their swords, and the battle began.
However, as the fight drags on, CHRISTA dons fire armor as
she rushes through the fiery tunnels.
TIPPI (V.O)
Wait! You shouldn't go up there
alone!
CHRISTA (V.O.)
I have to Tippi. Something terrible
is about to happen!
VARON is using his terrain to avoid the flames of the dragon.
AONGHUS prepares his sword. CHRISTA exits the tunnel and
gasps as the battle unfolds.
A maniacal laugh distracts them. She knew the voice, until
she was tackled down and screamed. VARON halts and gets out
of the way. VARON turns around and gasps in shock. As did
CHRISTA.

De--Demetrius?!

Shadows of the Past
INT. HEART OF DUN IRMA MOUNTAIN - DAY
DEMETRIUS pulls CHRISTA underneath him, and CHRISTA screams
for her life, until VARON immediately grabs DEMETRIUS's hair.
Yanking him away from her, began punching viciously.
VARON
Get the hell away from her!
In his anger, DEMETRIUS builds up an intense dark aura and
pushes VARON back. VARON is slammed against the wall. He
cries in pain before dropping to the ground. CHRISTA responds
in horror. AONGHUS is battling against the dragon, as it
suddenly attempted to attack VARON & CHRISTA.
CHRISTA
Varon, get up!
VARON slowly gets up. He is weakened, but he is still able to
fight. He takes out the water gem and calls for its power.
Water gathers in his palm, imbued with light as he unleashes
it towards the dragon.
The dragon cries out in pain and begins to die off. Turning
to ashes as it disappears. VARON glows in an otherworldly
light as he eyes DEMETRIUS once again.
VARON
And your next...
CHRISTA
I don't understand this... Since
when did Varon have superpowers?!
Who IS he?
VARON turned around and looked everywhere, and the area
created a foggy atmosphere and cooled down.
DEMETRIUS (O.S.)
Ah, you got a sword now, boy? It's
been centuries since you tried me
with that one.
DEMETRIUS approaches him.
VARON
Who are you?
DEMETRIUS stops in his tracks and raises a questioning brow
at VARON.
DEMETRIUS
You mean to tell me... you've lost
your memories?
VARON eyes him confusedly before he gasps, and he holds his
head in pain. Flashbacks of everything from his past life
flood into VARON. He gasped and then spoke...
VARON/VERON
(mysteriously)
The Scourge King...
CHRISTA gasps in shock as she hears this, and the fog around
them begins to clear. DEMETRIUS goes into a dark chuckle.
DEMETRIUS/THE SCOURGE KING
(speaking with a menacing
glee)
That's right, boy!
(MORE)
DEMETRIUS/THE SCOURGE KING (CONT’D)
It's been over 400 years since we
last saw each other. And I have a
taste to smear your blood on my
blade!
VARON
That's if you even have it,
bastard! I remember what you have
done to Serena! Now you're after
Christa?! Since when were you
hiding? How could you have come
back alive?
CHRISTA widens her eyes at this.
CHRISTA
This is just a bad dream. There is
no way Varon and Demetrius know
each other! They're from two
different worlds for crying out
loud!
DEMETRIUS
Oh, so many questions from the
restless youth.
He turns to CHRISTA.
VARON
Don't you dare!
DEMETRIUS/THE SCOURGE KING
Oh! I know you protect this one
that you're fond of, which is how I
know your weaknesses before you,
child. You and your lovers... Think
I don't remember? Veron?
CHRISTA
(whispers)
Veron...lovers...?
A smoky cloud appears out of nowhere, surrounding DEMETRIUS.
It was SEFREDINA. She gave CHRISTA a cunning smile, but VARON
seethed.
VARON
What?! Sefredina!
She and DEMETRIUS vanish in ripples. VARON curses under his
breath. Then he looks towards CHRISTA worriedly.
VARON (CONT’D)
Christa! What are you doing here?!
I thought I told you to stay back
at the village!
CHRISTA
Varon?
She suddenly strides over towards him with a finger waving at
him as if he were in trouble.
CHRISTA (CONT’D)
You have a lot of explaining to do!
But above her, boulders fell, and she was about to be
crushed. VARON screams in horror and rushes at a speed almost
inhuman. He grabs CHRISTA and throws her and himself to the
ground.
A shield created a dome and blocked the falling rocks. But it
buried them underneath it. AONGHUS gasped in terror.
AONGHUS
NO! Varon! Lady Christa!
VARON on top of CHRISTA, guarding her injured body. CHRISTA
is coughing visibly, covered in dirt, as is VARON. She tried
to move.
VARON
Don't move--
He warns her. She attempts again, feeling scared. He holds
her firmly.
VARON (CONT’D)
(speaking softly)
Don't be scared. You know I'm not
going to hurt you.
CHRISTA yelps in pain, and this startles him.
VARON (CONT’D)
Christa? What is it! Tell me what
is wrong! Are you okay? Please
speak to me plainly about what has
happened.
CHRISTA
I--I can't move...
VARON gasped and looked at her left ankle, it is bleeding
badly. CHRISTA was about to pass out, but VARON anchors her.
VARON
No... This cannot be. Christa, bear
with me! You can't pass out on me.
Not now. This is my fault...
CHRISTA
I--I'm going to die like this...
VARON
No, Christa, my heart. You're not
gonna die...
VARON suddenly builds up power and holds her closer to him.
VARON (CONT’D)
I promise you...I won't let you
die!
A strange hum emanated from the key; it began to glow
faintly, a green hue. CHRISTA was in shock, but she
recognized it as a healing gem. VARON heals CHRISTA. He let
out a loud cry, and suddenly, power emanated from his body.
The boulders vibrate, and they started to crack around them.
CHRISTA
V-Varon?!
VARON
STAY CALM! I WON'T HURT YOU!
His power intensified. The energy suddenly surrounded
CHRISTA, forming a protective barrier, and then the ground
began to crack. Outside, Aonghus was stunned as the rocks
shattered, revealing Varon lifting Christa in an intimate yet
protective embrace.

SCOURGE KING
I see you have been practicing...
PRINCESS ELIANA
I don't know who you are. But you

Demetrius? The man who attacked
Christa?
SCOURGE KING
Ah, so you know my human form. Very
intriguing...
As the battle waged. FERDINA and TAKEYAMORI run in the
hallway and are shocked to see the escalating struggle before
them. Both PRINCESS ELIANA and the SCOURGE KING showed an
aura of battle. Until the energy got worse, and she was
pushed back.
TAKEYAMORI
This man...he is not who you

FERDINA
Who is this man?!
TAKEYAMORI

This isn't your fault, lass...
CHRISTA
Save it.
She got up and began to walk out, distraught. AONGHUS
follows, TIPPI visibly worried before she vanishes in
sparkled light. CHRISTA walks out, AONGHUS follows.
AONGHUS
He was going to tell you.
CHRISTA
No...he was not. And neither you,

Tippi, nor anyone else! And now he--
AONGHUS
He is the Hero of Legend! And you
must accept him as he is!
AONGHUS closes the gap.
AONGHUS (CONT’D)
Go talk to him.
CHRISTA opens the door again to VARON'S room. He is in a daze
and notices her. He invites her in. She enters.
VARON
Christa...come inside. How are you
feeling?
CHRISTA
I'm fine.
VARON
Good. Christa...I'm sorry about
what happened. But you must believe
me. I never intended to hurt you.
CHRISTA
Stop. You lied. You lied about your
powers. About this whole thing!
VARON
Christa...
CHRISTA
And Demetrius. He is the Scourge
King, and you're a reincarnation of
an ancient hero?! I didn't ask to
be in this...
VARON
You're already in it, Christa! What
part of it did you not understand?
CHRISTA
What?! From four hundred years
ago!?
VARON
Christa! I'm in love with you! And
it's about time you realize this...
CHRISTA freaked out and began to blush.
CHRISTA
H-How long?
VARON
I don't know. All I know is that I
really am in love with you,
Christa. More than any girl I have
ever known. I have tried so hard to
fight it. But what is the use?
He sighed, visibly shaken, before he chuckled and shook his
head in awe.
VARON (CONT’D)
To think, I, after all of these
years, four hundred or three years
ago, what does it matter? That I
would be in love again.
VARON pauses. A sudden realization dawned on his features.
VARON (CONT’D)
No. I know for a fact that I love
you, Christa. Romantically, and
you're my best friend too.
CHRISTA
Varon, I just met you. I-- I'm
sorry. I-- I'm not trying to deny
your feelings. But-- I don't
know...
He looks at CHRISTA finally, sighing to himself.
VARON
You don't have to say anything. But
after what Demetrius did, it can't
be helped now.
Tilting his head thoughtfully, he tries to explain himself.
VARON (CONT’D)
I know Aonghus must have told you
about my powers. I didn't know I
had powers, Christa, until Princess
Eliana brought them out. Then,
memories started to flood little by
little.
He straightens himself out.
VARON (CONT’D)
Listen to me. The Scourge King is
after you. And no matter what, I
have to protect you at all costs.
I'm not going to let that man hurt
you. Now please...come to me...
CHRISTA was stunned by his answers. She gulped, unsure of
what he was planning to do. She slowly approaches the bed,
sitting down in the chair. Then he takes her hand calmly
before pulling her towards him.
CHRISTA
Agh! What are you doing?!
VARON
Please, Christa! I won't hurt you--
honest! Please, look at me! I'm not
going to hurt or take advantage of
you.
CHRISTA halts.
CHRISTA
You’re not going to hurt me?
VARON
No. I wouldn’t ever hurt you.
He began to cradle her body towards him on the bed. He leans
her upwards even as she turns from him.
VARON (CONT’D)
Christa. It's high time you stopped
running from whatever destiny
you're called to do here. I can't
control how you feel about me.
(MORE)
VARON (CONT’D)
But what I will do is not cover
this up. Yes, the Scourge King knew
about all of this. That battle is
between me and him. This only
involved you for one reason and one
reason only...
VARON leans in.
VARON (CONT’D)
Because you are--
His concentration broke as he eyed her lips tentatively. To
her shock, he has her near his face before he tenderly cups
her cheek. His eyes were shining like the ocean with an
otherworldly light.
CHRISTA
W-What are you doing?
VARON
What do you think...? Making our
dreams come true...
VARON attempts to close the gap, his lips brushing hers as
CHRISTA feels his breath. She was about to close her eyes
just as he was about to seal it. AONGHUS bursts open the door
and makes VARON jump before he pushes CHRISTA back
unexpectedly onto the chair.

Revelations in the Dark
INT. DARK CASTLE DUNGEONS - NIGHT
THEODORE is being pushed to the limit as otherworldly
monsters demand that he work harder. Being hit with a whip.
Other humans are struggling, crying, yet even on the brink,
he doesn't give in.
Hours after his shift, he takes a shower--scars covering his
back that had healed many times.
THEODORE
What is the point of healing me if
it's just going to leave scars?
He turns off the shower, dries, and gets dressed. However,
inside his room was DEMETRIUS, smirking at him cunningly.
DEMETRIUS
So...what do you think? At first, I
tried to escape from this place as
you did. But now is the time you
begin to understand.
THEODORE
Demetrius -- Who are you really?
DEMETRIUS
Who do you think? THE SCOURGE KING!
He suddenly had a dark aura around him, and he looked
different. THEODORE gasped in fear and cowered down.
DEMETRIUS was suddenly dressed in battle armor and held a
sword. His skin darkened, and he flexed his left arm.
Suddenly, the air feels thick.
THEODORE
Oh my god. You're not Demetrius...
SCOURGE KING
No. As you can see, Theodore... I
am not the same man you knew. Power
came to me, and suddenly, memories
have as well. I remember what had
happened. It was that girl. Serena
had sealed me away, and I
reincarnated on Earth. Demetrius
became my Earth name. And
unknowingly, I find him. That earth
man, Professor Gilmore. And he
showed me everything I needed to
know—made my day. Until I
befriended Richard, and he told me
of his family. I became close, and
then something hit me. The Key...
THEODORE was shocked.
THEODORE
In Africa...
SCOURGE KING
The day I accidentally got
Professor Gilmore... He just fell
to his death. And I couldn't have
forgiven myself. That was when I
was angry at Christa's father. He
said I wanted just the Key for
myself. But he didn't know. That
key is the same key that can affect
time. Christa was chosen. As was
the Edinburgh girl.
THEODORE
Christa Malone? How could this be?
She's just an innocent college
student!
SCOURGE KING
The Key chooses who it wants...She
was destined to be here. To stop
me. Because she didn't know what
she was, but I won't say anymore. I
will leave you to your bemusement.
He suddenly vanishes again, and DEMETRIUS returns, still
holding his head and shaking it.
THEODORE
Oh my gosh, you were possessed? By
what!
DEMETRIUS came to him and grabbed him by the shirt.
DEMETRIUS
You see what happens when your
professor doesn't believe me?!
Something about this place is off!
DEMETRIUS said, eying every wall of the room. Then THEODORE
narrowed his eyes.
THEODORE
Hey, man! You tried to have us all
killed!
DEMETRIUS
And I still can. But unless you
understand what this is, this won't
be the start.
He let THEODORE go and walked right out with the key in his
hand.
THEODORE
Wait! You had the key? Let me out!
DEMETRIUS!
DEMETRIUS looked at him sternly and closed the door before
locking Theodore back.
DEMETRIUS
You think I would let you out? No.
He suddenly said and put the key away.
THEODORE
You tried to kill her? You won't
get away with it! You can try the
sob story all you want, but this is
wrong! And you know it! How can you
go after the Professor's daughter!?
He yelled, punching the door angrily.

Training and Trials in the Daskan Forest
EXT. DASKAN FOREST CLEARING - DAY
VARON was training CHRISTA in swordplay. It was aggressive,
yet eventually she got the hang of it. Later that afternoon,
the training was over. VARON and CHRISTA ate lunch quietly,
their eyes meeting with affection before he whispered in her
ear.
CHRISTA
V-Varon?
VARON
Come. I want to show you something.
He eagerly takes her with him and begins to position them
into a waltz. Something new and profound. To CHRISTA'S shock,
he starts in small movements.
CHRISTA
A waltz?!
VARON
Yes, Christa, a waltz. Though I
would have wanted to make this
romantic, think of it as extra
training. But you know? I think
that with some more practice,
you'll improve. But for now. I'm
going to teach just the basics.
Swordplay is not that hard.
That same day, VARON and CHRISTA were at a pond. But suddenly
CHRISTA begins to cry. VARON consoles her despite her
disagreement.
CHRISTA
I'm sorry.
VARON
Don't. This situation is already
overwhelming. I believe your father
and mother would be happy to see
you. I barely remembered what mine
was like.
(MORE)
VARON (CONT’D)
But I know my parents cared for me
well and loved me. At most, all I
can think about now is protecting
you.
VARON looks at CHRISTA and gives a vulnerable smile.
VARON (CONT’D)
You know what my dream is? To have
a family of my own. To be able to
hold my wife in my arms and to be
able to have children one day. To
see them take the land and to run
and play in it. It would be handed
down to them and would be for my
descendants. That is what I
dreamed. What is your dream,
Christa?
Taken aback, CHRISTA answers.
CHRISTA
To graduate from college and maybe
become a teacher or counselor. I
may even be a writer. Maybe marry
one day if I find the right guy.
VARON
Sounds like a good dream. I hope
that you... forget it.
He was earnest about it. He was willing to ensure that
CHRISTA got back home. Though somewhere deep inside,
something curled his stomach, and he turned away to hide a
painful expression.
Soon they met the Daskan children, and CHRISTA finally met
ERNARD — a stubborn auburn preteen.
VARON (CONT’D)
Ernard. It's been quite a while.
ERNARD
Hmph! You would think I would see
you somewhere trying to do
something else with your flute.
VARON
Alora. Do you know where she went?
What about Jessica?
ERNARD
Jessica is with her. However, I
don't see why you would bring this
girl along with you. You know she
is a...
VARON
Enough! She isn't an outsider
anymore. She is my friend and
my...my...
VARON couldn't finish the sentence, yet CHRISTA was trying
hard not to blush. ERNARD eyes them suspiciously until it
dawns on his features. Until VARON mentions a sword, and
ERNARD confirms it.
CHRISTA
The Sword... of Destiny?
VARON
Yes. The sword that is said to be
able to defeat the Scourge King. It
may sound cliché, but true to its
name, its power knows no bounds.
CHRISTA
But what does this mean?
ERNARD
It means Varon has to gather the
last jewel to activate it.
VARON
And soon, I will retrieve it from
its pedestal... Believe in me,
Christa, with the power of your
love and destiny on our side. I
believe that God will show us the
way.
Deeper in the forest, JESSICA notices CHRISTA and VARON, as
ALORA, a girl with teal green highlights, welcomes them with
a smile. VARON takes CHRISTA's hand and guides them.
VARON (CONT’D)
Come Christa. I'd like you to meet
my best friend, Alora. And that is
Jessica.
ALORA
My, you really are pretty. My guess
is that Varon didn't notice this,
huh?
VARON
Anyways... Alora, I need your help.
ALORA
How can I assist?
JESSICA
Varon, young lady. I believe that
something can be helped. But what
about the Key?
CHRISTA suddenly showed it to them. ALORA looked and
acknowledged it.
ALORA
It's dulled.
VARON
You noticed it too? This necklace
draws power from me whenever I seek
to protect somebody or something...
CHRISTA blushes but tries to hide it until ALORA speaks.
ALORA
This key holds the power to seal
the Scourge King. The gemstones are
the essence of it scattered abroad.
Varon, did you find them?
VARON
I have. But they somehow became a
part of me. They became...my
powers...
JESSICA
Powers of the Timeless. There is no
doubt about it.
JESSICA turns to CHRISTA. The sound of a wolf and a bear can
be heard as if it were closer. Out of instinct, VARON hid
CHRISTA behind him and took out a few nuts with his sword.
VARON
Girls, stay behind me...
Then something rustled in the background, and the area turned
dark; the girls gasped in fear. VARON remained steady as he
was ready to jump them. And then they ambushed--the animated
wolves and two large bears.
The monsters attacked, as did VARON.
VARON (CONT’D)
Girls run!
JESSICA took CHRISTA's hand, and they all ran, leaving VARON
behind. As they ran, suddenly more came. CHRISTA tries to
defend JESSICA, who is suddenly about to be attacked. CHRISTA
grabs the wolf from behind until it knocks her back.
JESSICA is now unconscious. CHRISTA falls backwards as the
monstrous wolf traps her. She was about to be eaten until
VARON came behind it and stabbed it to death. CHRISTA tried
to remove it. ALORA screams as she is kidnapped by SEFREDINA,
who was in a cloud of smoke.
VARON & CHRISTA
No!
They both tried to save her, but it was too late.
CHRISTA
Was that Sefredina?!
ERNARD and the other forest children came. They all gasp.
ERNARD (O.S)
No...Jessica.
VARON picks up JESSICA bridle-style and walks sadly with the
children. CHRISTA was following suit until ERNARD took her
wrist.
ERNARD (CONT’D)
Wait! Take this, Christa. It's a
stone of protection. It will keep
you safe while here in the forest.

So, Adelaide? What makes you want

ADELAIDE
I dream of adventure. I yearn for

Most men today are worried only
about themselves, and all I wanted
to do was leave and bring back my
dad some grandchildren.

We are!

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.
VARON talks to CHRISTA in the upstairs guest room. 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.

Captured in the Spara Desert
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 is attempting to tuck in her shirt, but
VARON protests, warning her that it's immodest to do that
here.
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.
(MORE)
VARON (CONT’D)
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.
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, as he
guided CHRISTA to an opening, and they jumped into the lake
below them.
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!

The Quest for the Sword of Destiny
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 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. The jewels he gathered
materialized above him. Signifying his right to retrieve the
sword.
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.

The Final Confrontation
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
the boy's parents...
SUMIKO returns the locket to CHRISTA, who takes it with care.
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. But
because of the transport back, she was coughing up some
blood, and the nurses decided to take over.
CHRISTA (O.S)
The days were long. And yet, my
dreams still were thoughts of them.
About...The Timeless...
CHRISTA is walking on the sea of fields as she sees the birds
flying overhead. VARON, back in Verenia, is staring at the
night sky, tear-streaked, yet his ocean eyes are full of
hope.
VARON
Someday, Christa... You'll be in my
arms again. And when you return...
We'll defeat the Scourge King.
