EXT: CALIFORNIA BIRD SANCTUARY-DAY

FADE IN:

Barry drives toward a large open range area. Various squawks are heard.

BARRY, 35. Is your typical country boy.

After looking in on various nests to record any new births. Barry stops his Jeep near a stream to do some paperwork. A painful squawk catches his attention.

Jumps out of his Jeep, he goes to investigate.

BARRY:

Hello there, never seen you before. And, how did you get over here?

Barry slowly walks over to the large bird. He wonders if it is a full grown eagle, injured. In fear he moves in faster. He finds that it is a mythological thunder condor. Half of Bron 1'S body is hidden in the cavern, Barry steps back in amazement.

BRON 1, (Human form looks 15). In condor form, his black feathers glisten over his 60 ft wing span. In stark contrast to his muted brown talons, red head and beak. Werewolf form, his soft reddish/blond fur hid his black fangs. Human form, shoulder length blond hair and small blond beard, clearly shows off his Norse heritage.

BARRY:

What the f**k!

BRON 1:

(Inhales between words)

Help me fight Barry.

BARRY:

How, how do you know my name?

Barry blinks twice leans in tentatively.

BARRY:

What are you?

Bron 1 struggles to free himself, lets out a roar like cry and changes into his Human form, pulling himself out. Barry steps back haphazardly and falls. Bron 1 looks at Barry again and speaks.

BRON 1:

I have been watching you sometimes in Lycan form, sometimes in Human form. You have been chosen to lead the fight as I have been found out and mortally,

Shows a large hole in his side.

BRON 1:

wounded.

A howl is heard, Bron 1 turns into a massive werewolf and grabs Barry, a flash of light takes over both bodies.

Flashes of memories of Barry's past lives come into and out of view quickly.

BRON 1:

Now go search for Alewar. This shall show you the way.

BRON 1 shoves a black tombstone shaped amulet into Barry's hands.

Barry looks at the amulet.

An hour glass and scythe etched on either side of a skull The skull starts chanting.

Barry is forced to grasps it with both hands, as it shakes in his hands.

ALEWAR(V.O.):

I am whom you seek. The equalizer of all old and new, rich and poor, magic and mundane. The Alpha and the Omega. For I am Alewar, I am life I am death.

Barry tries to drop the amulet, but both hands are glued to it.

Abeteon, the Guardian of the Human kind, is getting more ruthless, as the centuries move on. Come quickly there is much to do and little time to do it in.

She throws various potions toward the Priest as the wind howls around her.

Rain splashes everywhere.

She tries to open a portal and place the Priest somewhere out of Abeteon's grasp.

The wind diverts the portals away from the Priest

Penelope:

What? Ha! As much as Abeteon would love to be a God he isn't. He just got hurt that his kind don't have extra abilities, that the other kinds do supposedly.

Penelope see Tieran from out of the corner of her eye.

A bang is heard.

The Priest gets up.

Tieran turns and starts to raise the wrench again.

Penelope grabs him.

Penelope looks at Barry.

PENELOPE:

Tell Alewar I had no choice but this way.

BARRY:

What are you doing?

Penelope sinks her teeth into Tieran's arm and starts drinking.

Penelope grabs the back of Tieran's neck and slams Tieran's mouth over the wound in her neck.

Tieran drinks as we see Penelope slowly start to glow and glide into Tieran.

Barry shakes his head.

Sirens are heard.

Casey:

Excuse me.

Imam's eyes slowly looks toward her.

Imam gets up and moves toward the wall.

Barry looks up.

Imam speaks to Alewar telepathically.

IMAM:

Alewar she can see me. How old is her soul?

Alewar's voice seems to reverberate in the hospital room.

ALEWAR:(O.S)

Let me see, her soul was created a mere century before the veil was created.

IMAM:

What should I do?

ALEWAR:

Just wait and see, and see who she speaks to.

IMAM:

Can't you just look through her line?

ALEWAR:

Imam you know as well as I do, that after the Veil of Secrecy was dropped, it is forbidden to look.

Barry joins into the conversation.

BARRY:

Even for you?

ALEWAR:

Sadly yes, but I shall post guards around her.

BARRY:

How is it I can hear you and, you can hear me?

Penelope(V.O.)

I stopped you idiot. For one we were under attack and two do you think I like being in a guy's body? No! You were going to be come a Vampire anyway, you were chosen. But he almost attacked someone. And I had to stop him. So I couldn't do a psychic transfer, I had to do a sanguine transfer. And about your family, once Abeteon is defeated, the world will revert back. So your family will know nothing of this, like you never left.

Abeteon, did this to them.

IMAM:

Right, he is the Guardian of the Humans, yet became corrupt by jealousy and paranoia,he believed that the Humans were made inferior on purpose. He refused to share or even confer with the other Guardians. He wanted to rule, and thus became, what the Humans know as, God.

INT:NIGHTCLUB-CORNER BOOTH-NIGHT

TIERAN:

Hang on, I have a question you say we can't be seen.

BARRY:

We can't by most Humans.

TIERAN:

Yeah most that is what I mean. How come that nurse was able to see you.

PENELOPE(V.O.)

Simple she had crossed path with one of us before, Have you ever seen someone and just knew them. Well our souls get thrown back, if you will, into the system.

TIERAN:

Reincarnation?

PENELOPE (V.O.)

Yes, see some of the Humans myths are facts.Our souls get reborn through each Kind. We have all been Lycans, Vampire,Witches, Fire, Air and Humans. Souls do stay and get reincarnated to one certain kind, well didn't use to at least. Abeton put a top to that.

TIERAN:

Sorry this talking through me is just weird. Can't you get out of me?

BARRY:

We will need Alewar for that.

It is quite all right, and if I remember right you yourself was once loud and impatient.

PENELOPE (V.O.)

(Laughs)

Still is.

Imam lets go of Tieran's shoulder and walks in to the shadows.

Alewar smiles turns back to Tieran.

ALEWAR:

Now, back to you Tieran. What is it you want to know? Who and what we are? Why you were picked,or I dare say, more importantly...

Alewar smiles again.

ALEWAR:

...how to get Penelope out of your body?

Tieran's eyes widens as he shakes his head he licks his lips and starts to speak.

TIERAN:

All of it! What does this have to do with me and my dreams?

ALEWAR:

Then follow me. Many eons ago the world was in chaos. So me and eight other Guardians devised a way to bring harmony to the world. The eight other Guardians guarded not only their own Kind, but helped the others as well. I guard all.

Tieran,Barry and Imam follow Alewar down past the room of hour glasses back through the mercury waterfall to the cauldron.

TIERAN:

Are you like Gods or something?

INT:CAULDRON ROOM

As Alewar says the names of the Guardians the cauldron show their faces and locations.

The group looks down and watches.

ALEWAR:

No, we are not. What we are, are keepers of our kind, protectors, but certainly just a capable of making mistakes. And, as you can tell by my speech I have become quite acquainted with your speech. Unlike the other, who still talk they did before the Veil of Secrecy was dropped. Myomancer is the Vampire Guardian. He now hides in Lapland. Erysichton is the Lycan Guardian she dwells in the North America. Ta'Om the air Guardian loves New Zealand. Solus Fire Guardian dwells inside Ojos del Salado. Belisama water Guardian,can be found all around the equator Rarr the Earth Guardian he has cloaked himself on High Hara. Nelys Witches Guardian plays around Italy. Then there is me, I am the Guardian of Life and Death. I commence all my business here, Scotland, behind the Cachaileith na Sith.

Tieran and Barry raise their heads and stare blankly at Alewar.

ALEWAR:

The Fairy Door.

BARRY and TIERAN:

Ah.

They both look at the other and shrug their shoulders.

All eyes return to the cauldron.

BARRY:

What about Abeteon, where is he?

ALEWAR:

Ah yes, well you see the Guardians travel where ever there kind needs them, a call or prayer. And as, Abeteon has announced himself as God over his own kind, the Humans, he never stays in one place. That is why we must show the other Guardians proof and have them on their guard.

Alewar steps away from the cauldron over to a wall.

An opening appears in the shape of a scythe.

ALEWAR:

I, Alewar Guardian of Life and Death, Guardian of all. Do here ask for the knowledge of the first amulet.

The wall begins to melt away.

In its place a picture TA'OM, age unknown, is sitting on a tornado, in a meditative state.

His silvery white hair whips violently in the wind as he slowly raises and falls in a rhythmic pattern of if wind like body. The gray swirls in his eyes move slowly in a counter-clockwise motion.

Alewar looks back at the group and beckons then forward.

INT:CAULDRON ROOM-WALL-PORTAL

ALEWAR:

You must go to Ta'om first and plead your case.

Wall starts to shake.

The picture of Ta'om fades and is replaced by a black void encased in white light.

ALEWAR:

Hurry Abeteon is on to us.

Imam, Barry run into the void.

TIERAN:

It's her.

ALEWAR:

Hurry!

Tieran runs through.

EXT:THICK FOREST-MID AFTERNOON

After Tieran goes through the void transforms into another picture. The picture show Casey and her friend Abbey hiking through a thick forest.

They land in a middle of the viaduct, they quickly look around.

Mud splashes everywhere.

Lush thick green forest, sun peeking through large green leaves flank either side of the viaduct.

TIERAN:

Yuck, now what?

Imam looks at Barry, c***s his eyebrow.

IMAM:

Well?

BARRY:

Uh, oh yeah let me scan the area.

TIERAN:

How can you scan the area, do you see how thick those trees are? what are you going to to do climb them?

BARRY:

No I am going to fly over them.

TIERAN:

I thought.

BARRY & PENELOPE (V.O.):

I(He) can change at will.

TIERAN:

Oh.

Barry starts to speak his voice goes from that of a man's voice to a squawk.

BARRY:

Aviaaanwck!

The ground starting to shake. Water in the viaduct start to ripple.

Barry starts to transforms.

Imam slowly moves in between the trees.

Tieran runs for cover.

Barry's feet turn quickly into talons. Feathers start to cover his legs. His face once sun-kissed now a vibrant red.

Barry's clothes fall off in strips. Feathers start forming over his bare muscular skin.

Barry stretches out his arms, sounds of bones breaking and then reforming. Black feathers cover the new wings.

The breaking of bones echoes, as his jaw reforms into a beak.

His brown eye behind the black birds eyes.

Barry looks at Imam then at Tieran.

BARRY:

I'll be back.

IMAM:

(Grunts)

Yeah.

TIERAN:

(Shaky Stutter)

O-o-OK.

Barry lifts off.

EXT: IN SKY-AFTERNOON

Flying over head, tops of trees small white curvy lines of waterways quickly rush by.

A small glowing hut comes into view.

Barry flies toward it.

EXT:TA'OM'S HUT LATE AFTERNOON

Barry reaches the edge of the hut.

A dust storm in shape of a male human form guards the door of the hut.

TA'OM comes outside he stretches out his arm and yells.

TA'OM

Stop avian who be you? How dare you trespass upon my home!

Barry immediately turns Human and starts to fall.

Ta'om catches him in a gust of wind slamming Barry to the ground. He motions to his apprentice to stay back.

Encases him in the wind tunnel.

BARRY:

I am Barry on urgent business for Alewar. I must speak to you at once!

TA'OM:

Alewar, what news does Death have? None of mine are to die.

BARRY:

It is about Abeteon's treachery. We have proof of his lies.

TA'OM:

I have no time to hear this,go now!

Ta'om releases Barry from the wind tunnel prison.

Barry starts to fall to the ground.

Ta'om produces a gust of wind in his hands, thrust his arms out and pushes Barry back.

Barry quickly changes back into a condor and flies into the air

BARRY:

I am here and I will stay here until you listen! The world needs to be brought back to it's natural order, and I need your help.

TA'OM:

The only treachery was done was that of the Vampires and Lycans.

Barry lands on the ground thunder is heard. As Barry approaches. Ta'om Barry turns from condor form to Lycan form.

Ta'om stands his ground.

BARRY:

(Growls Response)

It was not our fault, nor the Vampires. Have you ever wondered how only Abeteon, the Guardian of the Humans was the one who found out, not the Vampire,the Witch, the Fire or the Lycan Guardians. Especially when it was the Fire race that also was allegedly attacked.

The gray swirls in Ta'om's eyes swirl violently.

Ta'om backs away putting distance between him and Barry.

He stares straight at Barry.

TA'OM:

Suppose I were to believe this how could I help?

BARRY:

(Normal Voice)

We need your amulet, to be place in the stones of records.

TA'OM:

Come with me.

Ta'om takes Barry toward a tiny hut like structure.

A gush of wind is heard but nothing is seen.

As Barry walks through, he slowly change into Human form though still covered with thick fur.

Ta'om turn and looks at Barry.

TA'OM:

Quick learner I see.

BARRY:

Yes.

Barry c***s one eyebrow

TA'OM:

Thought I would live in something grander?

BARRY:

Yes actually.

Ta'om turns back toward the hut.

TA'OM:

Reveal! I would suggest turning back into a Condor.

BARRY:

What?

Ta'om waves his hand over the ground up over the hut.

The ground starts to shake.

Thunder is heard as Barry changes into a condor.

TA'OM and Barry now are standing on a cloud were there was once green grass.

TA'OM:

The hut is only used when Belisama decides the earth needs more water.

BARRY:

Nice!

Ta'om grabs at the wind with his left hand a stone amulet begins to form.

Ta'om hands Barry the amulet.

EXT:THICK FOREST-NIGHT

Imam and Tieran are sitting in silence on opposite sides of the viaduct.

Imam leans back and closes his eye

Imam's eyes popping open

Imam suddenly stand

Imam's fangs descend and his nails lengthen

Tieran stands up

Imam stares down the viaduct the to the left as he spots the leaves moving

Leaves shake and hear voices of Casey and Abbey are heard

Casey is yelling

Casey(O.S)

Abbey where are you?

ABBEY:(O.S)

Marco ha ha over here by this water thingy.

Tieran's hair lengthens. His olive skin turns a corpse blue. His canines start to lengthen. The whites of his eyes get swallowed up by a reddish black color.

INT: TIERAN'S BODY

Inside Tieran's body, his organs start to freeze. Blood suddenly stops and becomes ice. He collapses to the ground. His frozen blood starts to melt and become the consistency of tar.

Tieran shakes his now long hair and stands up again.

EXT:THICK FOREST-AFTERNOON

TIERAN:

What is it?

IMAM:

Stay still they will walk past us.

TIERAN:

Right.

ABBEY 29.  Tall and extremely thin, her bright green eyes seem to bulge out, a stark contrast to her bone white skin giving her the appearance of a recovering anorexic.

Suddenly appears from the trees beside Imam. Her heavy camping gear rattles.

Imam swings.

Abbey ducks.

ABBEY:

Whoa, anti-social! Sorry I scared you though I'm Abbey and that's Casey.

EXT:TA'OM'S HUT-NIGHT

TA'OM:

I still do not fully have faith in your words, but I shall humor you. If you speak the truth, Abeteon shall pay for his treachery and I shall apologize. None the less I have no fear of you having this amulet since it only works for those who use is honorable and the Stones Of Records.

BARRY:

Thank you.

Barry turns and takes flight.

The tree tops and waterway once again rush by.

Barry lands back in the viaduct.

EXT:THICK FOREST-NIGHT

Tieran, Casey, Abbey and Imam are sitting on a some fallen log.

Tieran looks up.

IMAM:

(Still Sitting)

Did you get the amulet?

BARRY:

Yes, who are they?

Barry points toward Abbey who seems to be studying Barry as he changes back into a Human

As Barry starts to loose his feathers he stops

BARRY:

Where are my clothes?

Tieran rushes to hand him his clothes

Barry hides behinds thick leaves

Returns dressed in jeans and white t-shirt fully Human again

Abbey walks over to him scratching her stringy black hair

ABBEY:

I'm Abbey, can't tell you my last name

(Laughs Sheepishly)

'cause I don't know it.

BARRY:

OK, umm hello, my name is Barry.

ABBEY:

You don't remember your last name either.

BARRY:

Jamerson, Barry Jamerson.

ABBEY:

Nice! Hey does that...

Casey comes up behind her and pulls her away back to a rotten log

Casey and Abbey sit down

Casey:

OK Abbey that is enough, don't twenty question him to death OK.

ABBEY:

(Whispers to Casey)

I just wanted to know if it hurt to transform.

(Normal Voice)

I mean that would explain why not ever one turns into one. And Vampires...

Abbey starts to walking over to Imam, Casey tries to grab her, but fails.

She buries her face into her hands.

Abbey she walks over to Imam.

ABBEY:

Do you have a problem with winter time weather?

Imam looks up at her with a scowl on his face Imam telepathically ask Alewar a question.

IMAM:

(Yelling)

Alewar where to next?

Tieran, Penelope(faintly)and Barry start laughing.

We hear Alewar's voice.

ALEWAR:(O.S)

To Solus's realm Ojos del Salado in the Ring Of Fire.

Abbey lip trembles and covers her ears.

Imam looks at here, his eye's widen and his face softens.

He grabs Abbey's hand.

IMAM:

We all hear it.

Abbey smiles but does not look at Imam's Face.

BARRY & TIERAN:

Where is that?

Abbey walks away from Imam and skips toward Barry and Tieran.

Barry and Tieran jump.

ABBEY:

Chile.

Barry turns around.

BARRY:

Thanks Abbey.

ABBEY:

Though I am not sure just how we will get there I mean we are over six thousand mile, and sure you can fly but I don't think you want to carry us on your back. We could take a plane, but I don't now if we have time to book flights and...how did you get here?

IMAM:

Through Alewar.

TIERAN turns around.

TIERAN:

More known as Death.

ABBEY:

Umm, oh I'm not ready to die I just got out and...

PENELOPE: (V.O.)

No we will just be going through Alewar's portal you wont die.

Abbey move toward Tieran's face almost coming nose to nose with Tieran.

In Tieran's eyes we faintly see Penelope's eye behind Tieran's.

ABBEY:

Do you know there is a woman inside you.

TIERAN:

I know.

Imam bends down making an outline of a scythe in the soft mud.

IMAM:

Ready? We don't know what we will find when we get there.

Barry,Abbey Tieran,and Casey gather around with Imam.

Abbey smiles at Barry.

Barry raises his eyebrow and smiles back.

Imam,having possession of the amulet, takes it and centers it over the scythe drawing.

IMAM:

Open!

Abbey gasps Barry grabs her hand.

BARRY:

It will be alright, just stay close to me.

ABBEY:

(Soft Voice)

Thanks.

Abbey leans into Barry's arm as a white light shoots up from the scythe drawing.

Imam is the first to walk in followed by Tieran, Casey finally Barry and Abbey.

Water quickly fills the space left by the scythe and it disappears.

Everything goes black.

BLACK SCREEN

Sounds of lava bombs can be heard .

Casey screams.

EXT:SIDE OF MASSIVE VOLCANO-MID-AFTERNOON

A lava bombs shoots towards Abbey. When she screams the lava bomb stops in mid-air.

ABBEY:

Over there.

Abbey points away from the group, suddenly she looks at Barry with a wide eyed scared look.

ABBEY:

S-sorry don't tell anyone I did that please I'll get in trouble.

BARRY:

I wont but for now just keep doing it.

ABBEY:

Are you sure?

BARRY:

Please!

ABBEY:

All right.

Abbey runs toward the the middle, clumsily slipping over the uneven terrain.

Abbey stomps her left foot, the ground shakes.

ABBEY:

Stop!

Instantly all the lava bombs stop and hover in mid-air.

ABBEY:

Back to the volcano with you!

The lava bombs shoot back into the volcano opening.

All is calm.

The group start looking around

PENELOPE(V.O.)

We need to find Solus' layer. Look for an opening that seems out of place.

The group spreads out looking for any anomalies.

The terrain is uneven and warm, the group stumble as the spread out.

EXT FIRST SHOWDOWN-MID AFTERNOON

Imam goes toward a large glob of new blackened earth.

ABETEON, age unknown. His multi-race colored skin shimmers in the sun.

Abeteon emerges from behind him.

He sends Imam flying backwards with a push.

Abeteon struts over to where Imam has landed.

IMAM:

(Yells)

Die damn you!

EXT:LARGE OPEN AREA-MID AFTERNOON

Imam's knees shake as he takes a step forward and makes a swing at Abeteon,he fails, as Abeteon effortlessly avoid the blow by stepping backwards.

Abeteon once again pushes Imam back, this time he creates a large circular wound in Imam's chest.

The group runs toward Imam.

He hovers over the injured Imam. He shakes his multi-colored hair as he laughs. His patchwork eyes twinkle with sadistic glee.

ABETEON:

Such hatred, but why? I have never done you wrong!

IMAM:

(Threw clenched teeth)

Never done me wrong! You killed Talitha, because she spoke the truth, because she was a Witch. You took her and our unborn child from me. That is the wrong you have done to me.

ABETEON:

Sorry still don't see the wrong, you said yourself she was a Witch and that child would have been an abomination.

The group reach Imam.

Abbey stomps her foot, the ground shake Abeteon looses balance and stumbles.

ABBEY:

(Screams)

No child is an abomination, no matter what! A real parent loves their child whether they have powers or not, they don't send us off to asylums and pretend we don't exist, that we died! You say you are our God, you are suppose to love us no matter what!

Abeteon regains is balance and turns toward Abbey. With a wave he picks Abbey up and throws her.

Barry tries to grab at her but she is caught by a flame of blue fire.

Tieran and Casey help Imam.

SOLUS,age unknown. A red and yellow flame cover what seems to be a masculine form. His eyes go from a deeper caring amber to a fierce red.

Abbey is gently set down Barry runs to her grabbing her into a bear hug.

SOLUS:

How dare you walk upon my sanctum Abeteon! How dare you force your false will and harm one who speaks her heart's truth. Be gone now!

Solus blasts a stream of fire toward Abeteon He stumbles once again.

ABETEON:

I, Solus, can be where ever a Human presides and we have one in our mist.

Abeteon points toward Casey and smiles greedily.

ABETEON:

So you can not remove me, as you just tried.

Casey:

Can I get rid of you?

SOLUS:

Yes you can Human, you can tell him you don't believe in him.

ABETEON:

She wont she is a devote follower!

Casey walks toward Abeteon, looks up at his smirking face.

Casey:

You are right I do believe there is a God. I am a devout Catholic, and all I ever want was to speak to my Lord, to kneel in front of him and feel his love.

Tears begin to run down her face.

A look of triumph spreads across Abeteon's face.

Casey:

But I will not kneel in front of you! I do not believe you are my Lord God, Abeteon you are a false prophet, a deceiver,I do not believe in you!

Abeteon's smile turns a frown. He begins to lose his shimmer.

Solus once again blast a stream of fire at Abeteon knocking him back.

Abeteon flees.

Solus walks over toward the group, which are now all surrounding Imam.

SOLUS:

I apologize for the lava bomb. But I sensed a Human and Abeteon and in turn thought you where with him.

ABBEY:

I'm Sorry for sending your lava bombs back and shaking the ground.

SOLUS:

It is quite alright, but may I ask why you came. You do not seem to be exploring, for you do not have any equipment.

Imam who has a large wound in chest, that is slowly healing, around the initial blast area, but not over it. Small droplets of tar-like blood slowly ooze out.

Solus walks over to Imam The ground turns a glowing red with each step of his fire covered footstep.

IMAM:

We need your amulet, Alewar sent us.

SOULS:

My amulet, what ever for?

TIERAN:

We need it for the Stones Of Records. Alewar has found out Abeteon's plot.

SOLUS:

So it was a lie. hmm, well I can get you the amulet and guards while on my land but no further.

IMAM:

(Panting)

We understand.

SOLUS:

I also suggest you go and see Myomancer next. For only he can cure a wound on a Vampire. I say two Vampires..

He stops and stares a Tieran.

TIERAN:

I know.

SOLUS:

...three Vampire, and Myomancer will be able to take care of that too, a Witch, a Lycan and a Human.

Solus turns form the group briefly looking left to right.

SOLUS:

Alvaro, Pillan come to me!

We hear the crackling of the ground as ALVARO and PILLAN rise from craters in the volcanic rock.

ALVARO and PILLAN:

Yes Solus?

SOLUS:

I need you two to guard them and secure safe passage through the gate.

ALVARO AND PILLAN:

We shall.

Solus produces a black Fire in his hand. Suddenly it turns a bright amber and hardens.

Solus gives the amulet to Abbey.

SOLUS:

Take care, for the world's unknown truth is upon your shoulders.

ABBEY:

No pressure then.

Solus waves his hand toward the volcano's base, a portal of swirling blue flames opens.

EXT:BASE OF VOLCANO-NIGHT

SOLUS:

Through there you may go to Myomancer's stronghold.

Casey and Tieran carry Imam through the portal.

Abbey gulps as she looks into the portal.

A long tunnel of blue flames circle around.

ABBEY:

I Don't like these things.

BARRY:

It will be fine.

Abbey and Barry walk into the portal.

ABBEY:(O.S)

At least this one is warm.

A BLUE HAZE WASHES OVER THE SCREEN.

INT: TUNNEL

While in the tunnel Alvaro leads Casey, Tieran and Imam walks slowly behind him. Imam still struggling to keep  upright because of the the wound in his chest. Droplets start to fall from the bottom of his coat. His eyes dart back and forth.

Abbey looks with a child-like grin on her face she tries to poke at the blue flames swirling around her.

Pillan takes the rear, he keeps looking behind him, for possible stragglers.

PILLAN:

I would not advise that Witch. You do not know where you may be sucked into. This portal does not only go to where you request, but many other lands.

ABBEY:

Umm, OK.

Abbey's hand quickly drops back to her side, her head still craning to take it in. She suddenly looks back at Pillan and glares.

ABBEY:

And the name is Abbey, I might not know my last but I know my first!

She looks straight ahead her eyes looking forward, with a sheepish scowl on her face.

Pillan bows his, but does not offer any retort.

Barry ponders about whether to asks Abbey what she meant by the asylum,he decides to just blurt it out.

Barry puts in a reassuring smile for good measure.

BARRY:

So umm, was that asylum bit about you.

ABBEY:

Yes.

Abbey drops her head.

She looks back up at Barry, tears well up in her eyes. She quickly tries to change the subject.

ABBEY:

So what do... I mean did before you became a...what did that Fire guy call you?

BARRY:

A Lycan and I'm... was an ornithologist.

Abbey stares at Barry and c**k her left eyebrow.

ABBEY:

A what? I know "gist" means knowledge of, but my care taker, well actually the Crook O'Lune Asy..I mean Retreat were my guardians but Casey's dad, Dr. Bush was the one that really took care of me for the last three years, he was into maps.

Barry racks his brain for a way to explain to Abbey his job. He decides to use a term he made up to get kids, on field trips, interested in preservation of the condors.

BARRY:

A tweet-tweetologist, I study birds. How did you get here with Casey?

ABBEY:

Oh OK, I got clearance to go to a halfway house last year, but Casey, being in the medical field sweet talked them into letting me live with her here, not here but in L.A.

BARRY:

And you still don't know your last name?

ABBEY:

No Dr. Bush never mentioned it to me or Casey and on paperwork I was always patient six three dash zero zero five dash seven nine, I guess the ones that had me wanted no one to know about me.

(She sighs)

So I keep looking for a new last name, don't want the old one back anyway.

BARRY:

I hear that!

ALVARO:

We are here.

A flurry of snow greets the group.

EXT: CLEARING, SNOW COVERED FOREST-NIGHT

Casey:

I wonder if it is somewhere tropical.

(She sighs)

Oh.

TIERAN:

Or Santa's workshop at night.

AT the end of the portal they see small village blanketed in snow, with only the moonlight piercing the darkness, Casey both grimace. Alvaro starts to walk back to the tunnel opening,his inflamed body starts to shrink as the cold air whips around him. His once ridged upright stance now has a noticeable slump.

Tieran stop him.

TIERAN:

I thought you were going to takes us to the Myo-Myo whatever his name is stronghold. That is what Solus said!

ALVARO:

Solus said Vampire, that we would guard you as long as we were in his domain. As you can see our bodies are not meant for the cold and we will surely parish if we stay.

Alvaro walks back into the portal as it vanishes behind him. they stand in the snow between the edge of a forest and the village, pondering where to go next.

Abbey sees a sign in the distance and a statue of a reindeer, she goes to investigate.

BARRY:

Abbey!

She waves her hand impatiently behind her as she gets closer to the sign and statue. She spins around.

ABBEY:

We are in the Lapland and judging by how busy those people are over there and it being dark, I'd say it's November.

ext: inside forest

Through pine needles something watches the group.

EXT: CLEARING, SNOW COVERED FOREST-NIGHT

Imam collapses. The group runs to his aid.

Barry's eyes shift towards the thick pine forest.

Casey:

We need medical supplies, bandages, something to stop the bleeding. Abbey you and Barry go find a drug store and get some.

ABBEY:

OK, I have my card on me.

Barry and ABBEY run towards the village.

EXT:SMALL VILLAGE-NIGHT

Barry and ABBEY look through various windows, finally finding a small drug store.

Abbey bumps into a heavy set MAN 2.

ABBEY:

Sorry.

Man 2 stops and speaks in Finnish

MAN 2:

So sorry...

Man 2 turns to face Abbey, stares for a second then turns in a complete circle. He hobbles down the cobble stone street frightened.

Abbey c***s her head to the left.

Barry comes up behind her.

BARRY:

He can't see you remember, come on I found a store.

ABBEY:

Umm, if we can't seen be how are we going to pay for this?

Barry gets a worried look on his face.

ABBEY:

Though, if the world reverts back, as if none of this happened it wont matter will it?

BARRY:

Nope, come on we have to hurry.

They run in and start grabbing supplies and stuffing them in their pockets and under their shirts.

INT:STONE BUILDING-DRUG STORE-NIGHT

ABBEY:

He thought I was a ghost?

A smile spreads over her face.

BARRY:

Yeah more than likely.

He stares at Abbey for a second, a smile comes to his face.

BARRY:

Why?

Abbey looks up at Barry her knees shake.

ABBEY:

Well we are invisible right? I mean think of the possibilities.

BARRY:

Hm.

Barry c***s his eyebrow and smiles.

ABBEY:

What you going to be my conscience Jimmy Cricket?

Barry drops his head and chuckles.

He looks up at Abbey.

BARRY:

Well... can I tag along?

ABBEY:

(Shyly)

Sure you can.

BARRY:

Great now lets get these things back.

Barry and ABBEY run out of the store.

EXT:CLEARING-SNOWY FOREST

ABBEY and Barry met up with the other and start handing out supplies.

MYOMANCER, age unknown, Guardian of the Vampires.

He jumps out from behind the trees. His long stately stance means to intimidate the group hovering over Imam, as they try desperately to keep him alive. He starts to show his pearl white fang,but stops as he scans what is before his full blood-red eyes. He c***s his head, his midnight black long hair slaps against his pale blue skin.

MYOMANCER:

What it this?

The trees shake as birds leave, various animals howl in protest of his deep voice. He walks skilfully slow,as he studies each one.His cloak looks live as if blood and blue light swirl around him. A scowl burrows on his face.

MYOMANCER:

Three Vampires, but only two seen interesting, one Lycan, one Witch and...

His face shows his disdain and repulsion.

MYOMANCER:

...a Human. I sense the other Guardians you have come in contact with, but am puzzled on why...

He glares at Casey after saying why.

MYOMANCER:

...you dare come to me.

Casey:

We came because...

Myomancer puts his long hand up, to quiet Casey.

MYOMANCER:

I will not hear your lies Human.

ABBEY:

Help us, Imam is dying!

MYOMANCER:

Concern for him Witch?

Abbey stares at Myomancer in disbelief. Her eyes follow him as he steps toward Imam. Placing his hand over Imam's, coat now drenched with tar-like blood.

Myomancer closes his eye, his face relaxes. As red glow travel from between his crisp midnight black eyebrows, down his face. The red glow quickly goes down his arm into his hand.It encases his whole right hand in a red glow. The red glow shoots down toward Imam.

Imam,who is starting to show his true age. His long shiny black hair starts to turn gray and brittle, wrinkles start to form on his face. The red glowing light shoots down on the wound, then radiates encasing his body.

EXT:OUTDOOR CAFE,ZAAFARANIYA,IRAQ -NIGHT

Imam in slacks and a t-shirt laugh and joke, while they eat their meal.

TALITHA, 32. Her black abaya, caftan and niqab, clearly show her up bringing

She starts to speak, in Arabic, of a dream she had.

TALITHA:

I saw a false God coming for me.

Imam answers her in Arabic.

IMAM:

Well it is because he doesn't want a Goddess taking over.

TALITHA:

Oh!

Her brown eye sparkle with laughter.

A violent storm erupts.

Abeteon shows himself to her.

Talitha points toward the sky.

TALITHA:

It's him!

Imam frantically looks toward the sky, but is unable to see what his wife sees.

A dark headed figure tries to grabs both Imam and his wife, but is too late.

Abeteon launches a lightening bolt and hits her square in the chest.

Imam is seen screaming slowly, but is barely audible. As the figure all in black starts to glow.

The the body of Imam's wife, Talitha, lingers for a moment, then fades.

EXT:CLEARING, SNOWY FOREST-NIGHT

Imam's gray hair quickly turns black again, the wrinkle fade back into smooth skin.

Myomancer lifts his hand and turns away from them and starts to walk back in to the forest.

MYOMANCER:

You are healed my vampire son.

Tieran gets up and calls out to Myomancer.

PENELOPE(V.O.):

Wait we seek your amulet and hopefully to separate us.

Tieran points at himself.

Myomancer stops at the edge of the clearing, he turns around.

He closes his eyes and shakes his head. He walk back towards Tieran, but addresses Penelope.

MYOMANCER:

You chose a transfer of body instead of mind, thus your punishment is to live in his body.

PENELOPE:

(Yells)

I had to!

Myomancer raises his eyebrows his eyes widen. Penelope quickly changes her tone.

PENELOPE(V.O.):

I had no chose but too...

MYOMANCER:

Is that so, we'll shall find out.

Tieran bows his head.

PENELOPE: (V.O.)

(Child-like)

...we were under attack.

Myomancer places his right hand upon Tieran's forehead, forcing his head up and closes his eyes. The red glowing light sinks into Tieran's skin, he quickly fades away,as Penelope is brought forward.

EXT: DESERTED PARKING LOT-NIGHT

The battle scene plays once again.

EXT: CLEARING SNOW COVERED FOREST-NIGHT(DAY)

Myomancer moves his hand away and steps back, once again Tieran comes to the forefront as Penelope melds back into him.

Imam,now standing, though still weak, walks over and bows to Myomancer.

Myomancer purses his lips and brushes past Tieran and stares at Imam with a puzzled look on his face.

MYOMANCER:

Why bow to me?

IMAM:

To show my gratitude and reverence to you, for healing me.

MYOMANCER:

I am not a God nor do I request such Human treatment of gratitude. I am no more then a Guardian, a care taker of our kind until it is such time for me to pass on. If it was not for the treacherous lies of Abeteon...

He looks directly at Casey, her eyes slant and her lips thin. She moves in closer, standing between Imam and Tieran. Barry and Abbey follow her.

MYOMANCER:

...I too would not be here. This shell would be dust and my memories into the Stones Of Records.

IMAM:

Yes, this is Abeteon's and those human hunters he tricked fault

Casey:

But, not all Humans fault! Look, I'm sorry but not all Humans follow him, there is many religions that do not follow him. I admit before I met them, was told of his deceit and saw Abeteon for myself. I believed the teachings I was taught. But, my eyes are open now and if I, a devote Catholic, can see the lies and go against him. Then surely you can get past your hatred and not sink to his level.

MYOMANCER:

Religions Human...

ABBEY:

Umm, it's Casey.

All eyes fall onto Abbey.

ABBEY:

What? Well it is!

Myomancer speaks again, all eyes are now on him he moves closer to Casey standing right in front of her.

MYOMANCER:

...Casey, religions are no more then the remnants of the thoughts of the Guardians of the past. Religions were created by Humans to make sense of their memories, once the Veil of Secrecy was cast. For you see the heart and mind can never truly be wiped clean not even by the Guardian of your kind. It can be taught, manipulated to forget, but never wiped clean. In this you have shown me my own short coming, I became whom I hated.

Casey:

Apology accepted.

Myomancer raises his eye brow.

Casey:

It is a Human thing.

Myomancer nods.

Tieran steps beside Casey.

TIERAN:

When will she leave my body, can she leave my body?

PENELOPE (V.O.)

Yeah, can we? Sorry but the fact you are male and I am female, not good in some cases.

Barry and Abbey snicker.

MYOMANCER:

Forgive her, for not only in the manner in which she brought you over but, the fact she brought you over. Except that you are now a Vampire and that you were chosen for such to right a terrible deed. Only with your heart's forgiveness can you two separate.

TIERAN and PENELOPE(V.O):

(Penelope voice barely audible)

Oh.

Tieran slowly walks away. He ponders his decision and replays what Penelope had said back at the bar.

Myomancer turns back toward the forest.

MYOMANCER:

Follow me.

EXT: INSIDE FOREST

The group follows one by one, Tieran is the last to walk into the forest. Lost in his thoughts he bumps into Barry, bringing him back, he moves toward the cave. He stare into the mouth of the cave. Tieran shakes his head an move back over to the group.

They stand in front of the opening of a cave. Myomancer thrust his arm into the darkness, pulling out his amulet. Turning around toward Casey giving her the coffin-shaped amulet.

MYOMANCER:

I entrust this to you for you have shown me that there is hope for us to join as one again.

Casey looks down at the amulet, her thumbs move across the coffin-shaped amulet side ways over the words "Death be not of the hidden spirit nor the shell". She eyes widen in amazement.

Casey:

I can read this, it's in English. I would have thought it would be in some ancient language.

MYOMANCER:

The words translate to what ever language is needed to interpret it.

Abbey sighs heavily catching Myomancer's attention. All eyes once again turn toward Abbey.

ABBEY:

Sorry, was just hoping to see a castle, like Dracula's.

Imam closes his eye and sighs, a slight smile hits the corner of his mouth.

MYOMANCER:

Come, rest for the night. To take such a journey you must be at full strength, not just in mind but in shell.

INT:CAVE-CASTLE DINNING ROOM

The group follow Myomancer into what looks like a 16th century castles dinning room. Vivid tapestries and banners cover the stone walls. Their footsteps echo as they walk in. Two long wooden tables flank either side of a shorter, yet wider table. High-back, throne like, chairs are lined two inches apart on one side of each table. Gold and jewel encrusted tableware and silverware adorn the top of each table.

Abbey cranks her neck her to see as much as she can.

Myomancer stops in the middle between the tables. He turns around.

He thrust out his hands.

MYOMANCER:

Sit and think of your favorite meal, and it shall appear.

The group sits down as food and drink appears on their plates and cups.

Tieran sits at the far end away from every body else.

Casey:

If, when I mean. When we succeed how do you think the world will be like?

IMAM:

I do not know. My wife use to (beat and coughs) have visions and talked of a world, where we were all one, but I do not know now.

Casey sees a hint of tears in Imam's eye and places her hand on his.

Casey:

You miss her don't you? Was she a witch, like Abbey?

IMAM:

Yes I do very much, Talitha was, I know for sure, was a post and precognitive, but I never saw her move things like Abbey did those lava bombs. Though she could clean a house quicker than any woman I had ever met. Funny, I use to joke and say she must have used magic.

Under the consistent sound of chinking glasses, silverware and other conversations. Tieran speaks to Penelope telepathically.

TIERAN:

So what is the real deal here, I mean, what stops this from happening again.

PENELOPE (V.O.)

Well...

Casey sees Tieran from across the room.

She goes over and sits down.

Casey:

What you doing, all by yourself?

TIERAN:

Just umm, talking to Penelope.

Casey:

Would you like some company?

TIERAN:

(Snaps)

NO!

PENELOPE (V.O.):

(Sighs)

What, caveman means here, we need to work somethings out.

Casey gets up, she pats Tieran on the back before walking back over to the others.

The tableware and silverware vanishes as Myomancer stands up from the middle table.

MYOMANCER:

You have fed and hydrated your shells, but now you must rest them. Tomorrow I shall open a portal and send you to Belisama.

With a clap of his hands the tables disappear a stone circular stairway erects up from the of the floor.

MYOMANCER:

This shall take you to your sleeping quarters.

Abbey hops on.

ABBEY:

It's just like an...

She starts backing up as the top step reaches the ceiling. Suddenly a black hole appears. She disappears into the black hole.

The others follow suit, Tieran is the last to get on.

EXT: OUTSIDE OF CAVE ENTRANCE-NIGHT

The group and Myomancer stand outside the cave.

Tieran right in front of the mouth of the cave.

Lightening flashes through the sky, they all look up. Screams are heard from the villagers as the sky lights up. Abeteon form behind Tieran, picking him up and throwing him into the cave.

Myomancer thrust his hand out toward the opening just before Tieran reaches it.

MYOMANCER:

Belisama!

The blackness swirls and turn into a waterfall of blood. Tieran falls threw it.

He turns to the others.

MYOMANCER:

Go it shall take you to Belisama.

They ran into the waterfall of blood and vanish.

Everything goes black.

MYOMANCER:(O.S)

I shall take this fight!

Sounds of the wave crashing against rocks is heard

EXT: MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN-DAY

ABBEY:

I hope he's... ahhhh!

Splashes of water sprays everywhere.

The group falls into the middle of an ocean.

Abbey is the first to resurfaces followed by Imam,and Casey. The water starts to ripple violently, Barry shoots out of the water in condor form, they get sprayed with water. He hovers in the air

ABBEY:

At least I get a bath.

Casey coughs and rolls her eyes.

BARRY:

(screams)

Tieran! Tieran were are you?

A massive wave comes toward the ones left in the water. Barry swoops down grabs the group hoists them into the air.

Inside the wave is Tieran and Belisama and a mermaid like creature.

BELISAMA, age unknown, giggles. Her ever changing skin looks like a crystal blue water fall, her feet resemble the foam. Her hair is made of dark green algae, the wave of aquamarine water constantly move in her eyes.

BELISAMA:

Tieran here, has informed me of your quest. I do say it is a very frighten full one. But as you know water never stills to retrieve my amulet a quest you must go on still.

Barry and the others look at her blankly.

Tieran grimaces back at them, he tries to warn them of Belisama's love of games.

BELISAMA:

I suggest we find you some land, you look like you have a heavy load on your back.

While Tieran and Belisama ride the massive wave, Barry follows her to a small inhabited island.

EXT:BEACH-CLOUDY-AFTERNOON

BELISAMA stays at the edge of the beach

Barry lands the others slide off of his back. Tieran jumps to shore.

BELISAMA:

Now look for the conch shell of blue and green. At the deepest point, there my amulet be.

Belisama starts to drift away, Abbey screams

ABBEY:

But where are we?

BELISAMA:

The equator is what it is called now, almost in the middle.

She disappears into the ocean.

All eyes are on Abbey.

ABBEY:

What?

BARRY:

Do you know where we are?

ABBEY:

Let me think.

She closes her eyes, every map she has ever seen flashes inside her eyelids. Her eyes snap open.

ABBEY:

We are close to Africa I think, but this island is not on any map I have ever seen.

Casey:

I don't think any of the places we have been are really seen on a map.

Abbey shrugs her shoulders in agreement.

ABBEY:

But, how are we going to get down there? I doubt we can just walk into a scuba supply store.

IMAM:

Vampires don't breathe. Me, Tieran and, if he gets over himself, Penelope will retrieve it.

Tieran looks down and runs into the water and starts to float downward.

INT: UNDERWATER-CLOUDY-AFTERNOON

TIERAN:

I forgive you.

The surface ripples as Penelope floats out of Tieran's body

Imam joins them.

Suddenly Penelope starts to age. Her raven black hair shrivels and falls out, her feet curl up and turn to dust, the process travel to the rest of her body.

Tieran panics.

TIERAN:

Wait I lied I don't, please don't go we need your help.

Her head is the last to go.

PENELOPE:

It is OK Tieran you have the strength and I can now take my place.

A multi-colored light lights up the dark under water.

A green fleck shines in the distance.

The light dissolves.

TIERAN:

Nooo! I'm sorry!

Imam swims over to TIERAN and grabs him around the shoulders.

IMAM:

Listen Penelope is gone, and we need to keep a level head.We will see her again,when this is over I promise you. But I need you to be with me now.

Tieran calms down.

They look around and swim to the bottom of the ocean floor, the infrared vision shows clearly what is in front of them.

Imam and Tieran both see the conch shell fifty meters away.

Imam screams as a large shark charges Tieran.

Tieran balls up his fist as the shark dive toward him.

He hits the shark and it tumbles toward the floor, it lays still. Both Imam and Tieran swim faster toward the conch shell.

TIERAN:

What the hell I thought we couldn't be seen, don't tell me animals are reincarnated.

IMAM:

Animals were not effected by the Veil of Secrecy.

Tieran points and dives straight down. Imam follows suit.

Tieran grabs the conch shell.

A loud roar is heard and the ocean floor shakes.

Two gold eyes shine up from the ocean floor and a wide mouth like crater begins to form, air rushes in to it. Tieran and Imam both try to swim against the current.

Imam scream for Tieran to follow him.

EXT: BEACH SHORE-CLOUDY-LATE AFTERNOON

Barry, Casey and Abbey talk over all they have done.

Barry places each amulet down between the three of them, after saying the Guardian's name.

BARRY:

OK we have the amulets of Alewar, Ta'Om, Solus and Myomancer's.

ABBEY:

Death, Air, Fire and Vampire. Who's else do we need?

Casey:

Well soon, hopefully, we will have Water. We still need your guy's, Witch and Lycan, amulets, plus earth. But how are we going to get mine, you know Human? I doubt Abeteon is just going to give it over!

Abbey sighs and shrug her shoulders

BARRY:

Alewar said he would take care of that, so I guess he will have it.

INT: UNDERWATER-CLOUDY-AFTERNOON

IMAM:

Follow me, swim across the current!

Belisama appears, an iridescent glow surrounds her.

BELISAMA:

It's OK I gave them permission to have it.

The winds stop, the mouth closes and the eyes retreat.

Imam swims toward her. His face full of fury, his fangs gleaming in the water.

IMAM:

You forgot to warn your minions about us!

BELISAMA:

Careful with your tone, or I might change my mind!

Tieran grabs Imam and with conch shell in hand. They swim to the surface.

TIERAN:

Come on the other's are probably worried.

EXT:WATER'S SURFACE-AFTERNOON

As they reach the surface they here Abbey scream their arrival.

EXT:BEACH SHORE-CLOUDY- late AFTERNOON

All run to the shore to help Tieran and Imam up.

BARRY:

What the f**k happened. First see the the water bubble, and then light up.

He looks at Tieran and Imam.

BARRY:

Where is Penelope?

TIERAN:

I, I forgave her and she disappeared.

BARRY:

Oh.

The group together once again take a solemn stance and pause for a moment, in remembrance of Penelope. Tieran retells what happened to the rest of the group.

Abbey goes and sits down by the shore line the water gently touches her feet.

ABBEY:

She did say her rightful place, maybe that mean she is with Myomancer or at the Stones.

Casey:

Yeah, more then likely.

She goes over to Abbey and gives her a hug, while Abbey wipes her tears away on her wet sleeve. Barry comes on the other side of her and sits down. She lays her head on his shoulder.

A whirlpool forms in the distance. it starts to grow long ways until it reaches the shore. Coral comes up from the ocean floor to form steps.

INT: INSIDE WATER TUNNEL-EVENING

The group tentatively start down the stairs one by one.

Abbey and Barry are holding hands.

Belisama's voice is heard through the wall of water.

BELISAMA:(V.O.)

This will take you to Nelys. Good luck on your quest.

ABBEY:

Thanks.

The group walks into a blinding purple light.

INT: STONE STRUCTURE-AFTERNOON

They shield their eyes as they walk into a large stone structure. They see Nelys standing in front of a magic window, various images of people flash inside. The purple light radiates from the mirror.

People are heard outside, the group looks behind them. Outside the the doorway of the a busy Italian village is seen.

NELYS, age unknown. Her green and light brown upper body resembles a tightly woven tree, her legs like beach sand,feet like air filled clear balloons her eyes like fire and her hair like water.

She is smiling as she turns toward them. they looks back toward her.

NELYS:

My apologies, I rarely get visitors these days of late.

She waves her hand over the mirror and it goes blank, the purple light dissipates. A soft candle-like glow fills the room.

NELYS:

So how did you come to my lair? I don't believe that there is any physical signs to me.Though, I find that the best place to hide is in plain sight as you can see.

She sees Abbey and quickly walks over to her taking her hands. She hug Abbey like a mother would. Abbey's life pass like flashes of film.

INT:LARGE MANOR-LIVING ROOM

Abbey , three day before her third birthday, levitating a vase in front of a maid.

INT: BASEMENT FLOOR-RAINY-MORNING

Being locked in the basement.

INT:BASEMENT FLOOR-sunny afternoon

Age three and a half, her parents cloaked in shadows upon the landing of the basement stairs throwing a newspaper down, showing her obituary, headline reading Abigail Reckitt, their laughs lingers for a moment after the door slams.

EXT:RETREAT HOME-WAITING ROOM-RAINY AFTERNOON

Age nine, being sent to the retreat home.

EXT:SIDE OF MASSIVE VOLCANO-NIGHT

Her screaming at Abeteon.

INT:STONE STRUCTURE-AFTERNOON

NELYS:

My precious one did you bring them?

Nelys releases Abbey sadness can be seen in her eyes, the fire goes from a animated roar to a soft flicker.

Abbey's eyes welt up with tear. Abbey just shakes her head, wiping her eyes.

ABBEY:

(Cries softly)

No, Belisama did. We, we need your amulet to stop Abeteon.

Nelys' eyes become a raging fire.

NELYS:

Abeteon, I see. Well for the chance to give him his own I will gladly give you my amulet. You must be starving, come and eat.

Nelys snaps her fingers fire produces on her finger tip.

NELYS:

From the fires of hearth and home. Grant my guest the substances they need in for health. Nourish the heart, soul and shell. So they may go on happy and well.

Tables with food, drink, the group sits down and start eating.

Robes materialize over them, they look up at Nelys.

NELYS:

Sorry but you are all kind of, how do they say it, ripe.

They group bust out laughing.

Nelys sit by Abbey and a smile come on her face.

NELYS:

You have questions my precious.

ABBEY:

(Gulps)

Those images are they real?

Abbey turns and looks at Nelys, tear slowly run down here face.

Nelys put her arm around Abbey.

NELYS:

Sadly, yes my precious. Your mind can be fooled only so long. But if two Witches are near each other, only the truth can be seen.

ABBEY:

But why did they do that? I mean didn't they ever love, want me? Just Humans I guess.

NELYS looks at ABBEY.

ABBEY:

I don't mean all Humans, Casey is wonderful, so was her dad.

NELYS:

We all have bad and good, no kind is just good or bad.

The groups clothing materializes back on them.

Suddenly the purple light comes back . All race to the mirror. Abeteon is shown inside the mirror. He hovers above the town cloaked from the Humans.

EXT:SMALL STREET IN ITALIAN VILLAGE-AFTERNOON

ABETEON:

I know you things are here, I will find you. Casey you are my ticket as long as you are with them, I shall know where you hide. If you come back a repent I might let them go.

INT:STONE STRUCTURE-AFTERNOON

Casey starts to back up Nelys looks at her and grabs her arm gently.

NELYS:

Do not believe his words, we all can sense the other Guardian's Kind.

Casey:

But...

TIERAN:

Don't even!

IMAM:

We need you to defeat him, only you have that power.

ABBEY:

I need you, you're like my sister.

Casey hugs Abbey.

Casey:

I'm sorry, I don't know what I was think, I'll never leave you sis.

She turns to Nelys.

Casey:

Can he hear me if I speak to him or will it give us away.

NELYS:

Oh he knows you are in here, but without my permission he can not come in.

Casey stares straight into the mirror, which now shows nothing but his face, with a smug smile on it.

Casey:

Never! You are not my Lord God.

ABETEON:

I may not be given permission to come inside. But, I can see you wear a symbol of me. Why lie to me and say such hurtful things as you do not believe in me?

Casey:

I shall wear this cross as a symbol of my faith, but it is not a symbol of you.

The mirror goes black, the candle-like glow comes back.

NELYS:

Good for you child.

On the previously plain stone walls, primitively carved shapes and symbols materialize and start to glow in various colors.

NELYS:

No!

EXT:SMALL STREET IN ITALIAN VILLAGE-AFTERNOON

Outside people start to run for cover. A Man 3, in a black three piece suit runs in front of the door. He speaks in Italian.

MAN 3:

Man, it wasn't suppose to rain today!

Abeteon stares at Man 3.

He sends a thunder bolt directly at him.

INT: STONE STRUCTURE-MID-AFTERNOON

Barry grabs Man 3 and pulls him into the stone structure just as the lightening hits the ground.

EXT:SIDE ALLEY-MID-AFTERNOON

Confused, Man 3 gets up,looks around, he sees nothing more then an alley.

He runs off.

INT: STONE STRUCTURE-MID-AFTERNOON

Nelys' mirror lengthens and glows once more. She gives Abbey a stone circle, a symbol of each element carved on it on each side of a pentacle.

NELYS:

Here,my precious one, take this and go to Rarr. I'll fight Abeteon off to give you time.

The group run through the mirror.

INT:MULTI-COLORED TUNNEL

The sound of waters is heard. Nelys screams,as does Talitha.

Imam stops in his tracks he spins around in slow motion.

IMAM:

Talitha!

A wave of water rushes towards the opening of the mirror portal, it closes, all goes black.

Various colors shine through the wall,floor, and ceiling lightening their way.

INT: BLACK VOID

The floor disappears and they fall into a black void. They fall freely in the black void which turns into a slope.

The sound of falling gravel is heard.

EXT:SIDE OF MOUNTAIN-TOP-DAWN

Casey hit the ground first hard and starts to roll.

Tieran surfs down the slop then grabs her before she hits a boulder with her head, but with his vampiric strength, he throws her into the air.

Abbey throws out her hand, she stops Casey in the air,directing her to a level piece of land at the base of a massive mountain, slowly sets her on the ground.

EXT:MOUNTAIN SIDE BOTTOM-SUNRISE

The first rays of sunrise start to peak from behind the other side of the mountain.

Imam holding on to Barry's talons, fly down to the base where Casey and Abbey are standing.

Imam still shaken by the sound of his dead wife's voice keeps looking back at the point were they had dropped. Barry still in condor form snaps Imam back.

BARRY:

Imam, your wife...

Imam whips his head around and sends a threatening glare at Barry, tears well up in his eyes.

BARRY:

...is dead, you know that. You also know that only Alewar decides what happens to her. It was a trick, I'm sure of it-all Abeteon's doing.

Tieran runs over to Casey, jumping over jagged boulders and tiny tree sprouts.

TIERAN:

Sorry, still not use to the strength bit.

Casey and ABBEY:

I noticed.

Casey is red on one side, from where she first hit, bits of rock, sand and branches cling to her hair.

Imam walk up toward them. His defense of Tieran, shocks both Tieran and Casey.

Abbey just smiles.

IMAM:

Just stay in Guardian form, you'll be able to control it faster.

Barry starts to change back but yells in shock, they all turn and look at him. Barry stays in condor form.

TIERAN,ABBEY,Casey and IMAM:

What!

BARRY:

I, I can't change, something is blocking me!

Abbey's,Imam's, Tieran's and Casey's eyes widen as the see Rarr raise up from the ground behind Barry.

RARR, age unknown. Rocks of different shapes and colors form his body, A large boulder with gouges forming his mouth and eyes. Fallen branches become his arms.

RARR:

I like vulture birds they keep my mountain clean.

BARRY:

Oh, um OK.

RARR:

Well, I know you are OK, since it is the only way on this side of the Mountain. So welcome to High Hara, why are you here though.

Casey:

We...

Rarr leans into Casey so closely she has to step back, to keep from falling backwards. He straightens up, a puzzled look on his face.

RARR:

You are Human?

Casey:

Yes.

Casey c***s her eye brow, but doesn't purse her lips.The look on Rarr's face is of curiosity rather then disgust.

Her features turn to a puzzled look.

RARR:

But how, only born and changed ones can come on a Guardian's lair. Were you once a Guardian?

Casey:

I don't know, could it be because I am with them?

She points to the other each one shrug their shoulder in confusion.

RARR:

NO, but the Veil of Secrecy is thinning, who knows what is what anymore.

Casey still shaken up by what Abeteon said, breaths tentatively and speaks again.

Casey:

We need the your amulet, Alewar needs it to prove Abeteon's...

She purses her lips and grits her teeth.

CASEY:

...deceit.

RARR:

My amulet,how will that help?

Imam walk up beside Casey.

IMAM:

To be put along side with the others, in the Stone of Records, to show the Guardians of the Past, what he has done.

Rarr looks around, an almost perfect miniature of Rarr come up from the ground and hands him the amulet. RARR hands it over to Casey. With two hands she takes the amulet, her knees start to buckle under the weight of the large granite hexagon shaped amulet. Imam takes it from her with one hand as if it weighs no more then a feather.

Barry, still in condor form speak.

BARRY:

Now we just need to get the Lycan's amulet, then to the Stone of Records.

RARR:

I can do that.

Rarr lift his leg and slams it down. The earth beneath them crumbles.

The group falls into the large newly made canyon.

Rarr looks down the canyon, watches them falling.

RARR:

Bye. Guardians of the Past protect them, for they are on a journey of truth.

The ground returns to it original state.

EXT:CLEARING-PINE FOREST-NIGHT

Barry lands first into a large pine tree is body now in werewolf. Followed by the others, landing on various branches.

ABBEY:

You know what I think I liked Solus' tunnel it was warm and you were able to see what was coming!

They all nod in agreement as they climb down the tall pine tree.

The moonlight cast various eerie shadows over a dense under bush of fallen logs and ferns.

Howling is heard.

Abbey clings to Barry's side.

ABBEY:

What did it say?

Barry looks down at Abbey.

EXT: MOONLIT CLIFF

ERYSICHTHON, age unknown, Her tall slim muscular frame is covered in fur, that mimics the timber wolves around her.

Stands on the edge of the cliff and listens in on the conversation below.

Beside her Lycan 1 is cloaked in shadow beside her.

LYCAN 1:

Should we go down there?

ERYSICHTHON:

No, I'll go alone.

The Lycan 1 starts to protest. Erysichthon put her hand up to quiet him.

ERYSICHTHON:

You are my successor. The world is changing, for the Veil of Secrecy has started to thin. I do not know just how long I would have to train another, and remember, it took me a millennium to find you.

LYCAN 1:

As you wish Guardian.

ERYSICHTHON:

(sighs)

Call me by my name!

Her yellowed eye zero in on Barry, and she smiles.

She suddenly breaks into a run, She jumps tree top to tree top.

She lands in front of them.

EXT:CLEARING-PINE FOREST-NIGHT

Abbey screams and ducks behind Barry. The others gather around Barry.

ERYSICHTHON:

You hid from me, yet you cling to him?

Abbey comes out from behind Barry

ABBEY:

Sorry is just...

ERYSICHTHON:

I know, sorry it's just unusual to see one of my own with other Guardian forms. I didn't know if you were friends or foes.

Abbey looks up at Barry, smiles sheepishly.

ABBEY:

Friends.

ERYSICHTHON smiles.

ERYSICHTHON:

I see that. So what brings you here?

Barry starts to speak but only howls.

BARRY:

Owwooo

Erysichthon chokes back a laugh

ERYSICHTHON:

Aw, recently changed eh? How long have you been a Lycan.

ABBEY:

Can't really tell too many portals and tunnels, falling through...

Barry regains his voice.

He cuts Abbey off.

BARRY:

Alewar sent us to retrieve your amulet, so we can prove Abeteon's lies.

Erysichthon bares her teeth. She clenches her fist, then releases them, her claws full extended. She lifts her hand near her exposed fangs.

ERYSICHTHON:

(Growls response)

Can I play with him for a while first.

The low giggle sounds of the others are heard throughout the group. Erysichthon walks over to Casey. Casey sighs believing Erysichthon is going to condemn her.

Erysichthon takes Casey's hands and pats them.

ERYSICHTHON:

This must be hardest on you. I am so sorry.

Casey is shocked

Casey:

But I am Human, most of the other Guardians have treated me like dirt or invisible or an oddity.

ERYSICHTHON:

(Sighs)

Well most of them are just sticks in the mud, as you Humans say and they don't interact like they should. I, as the Lycan Guardian, can change into any form I want, even Human.

A bright silver light glows over Erysichthon, as she turns into an African woman.

ERYSICHTHON:

And, I do just so when the day did come, for the Veil of Secrecy to lifted.

She turns her head smiling at each one, then turns back to Casey.

Erysichthon lets go of Casey's hand, throws her head back and howls a piercing howl, it echoes throughout the forest. A beam of yellowish, moonlight-like,light admits from her mouth. The light forms into an amulet, shaped like the moon. She brings her head upright and takes hold of the amulet.

They all duck for cover in the forest.

Abbey stares at the fallen tree and screams.

ABBEY:

The other quickly return to pull Casey's limp body out of the ground. Abbey stars to run over Barry and Erysichthon stop her.

ERYSICHTHON:

Abeteon! How dare you sink so low as to kill your own kind, in such a cowardly way!

EXT:NIGHT SKY

Abeteon reappears but the glow, that surrounds his body, is barely visible. He appears to have weakened and aged several years.

Wow! Another wonderful screen play by you!
You should try to produce these.
You do very wonderful in this field.
You know what you are doing.

You are very descriptive and on the ball.
Everything is there, the change in scenes
fit your characters well.

Action, drama, and cute in some ways as well.
This is a very enjoable read here.
I just love yoru descriptiveness. That makes the
play more enjoyable.
