Chapter 10 - Tale of The Mid-Realm

Shortened version of the intro plays

Classic upbeat 50s style music begins to play, as we hard cut to the Sorcerers’ Kingdom. Wide shot of the whole place, we zoom into various sorcerers, just seeing their day-to-day life. We see some gardening, some cooking, some are working happily in a factory.

Eventually we pan over to the courthouse. Radcliffe, Frida and Grey are prepping for a mission. Radcliffe is using brute force on some dummies, while using magic to blow up some more. Frida is using her daggers, fighting a massive fake Malcom dummy. Grey is drinking some kind of alcoholic beverage.

Cut into Death’s Tower, which is where Warwick lives. He grabs his scepter, and smirks.

Cut to some (non-human) villagers, all singing around a campfire (they are singing the song playing in the background during the opening). They all stutter and stop singing

Villager

“Dagnabbit! We mess up every time we reach that part!”

A green flash, the villagers look over and suddenly turned shocked.

Villager

“Oh no-“

The sorcerers jump up, attacking the village. Frida corners some villagers, daggers drawn. Radcliffe begins burning buildings. Grey begin flirting with some villagers, just being kinda creepy.

One of the villagers backs up and trips. He opens his eyes, only to see Warwick’s scepter in his face.

Warwick

“I believe the word you were looking for is ‘we surrender’”

The villager looks petrified

Villager

“Actually it was-“

Zap noise, the sorcerers start cheering.

The camera pans up, the music continues, but now it sounds eerie given the horrific scene we just witnessed. The episode’s logo comes onscreen (it’s a special y’see).

TALES OF THE MID-REALM

Angle on the Boyer mansion

Inside Lily’s room, Lily’s on her phone

Laura passes by and looks in

Laura

“What’re you doing?”

Lily

“Normal teenage stuff”

Laura

“Are you texting that Tim boy again?”

Lily

“Yes”

Laura

“Don’t! I don’t trust him!”

Lily

“Why? He’s my friend!”

Laura

“Yes... but it’ll go higher!”

Lily

“No it won’t!”

Laura

“Well whatever! He’s Malcom’s son, I don’t trust Malcom! The moron!”

Lily

“The moron who outsmarted you”

Laura

“You! Ugh, just stay here today!”

Lily

“Fine”

Angle on Lily walking down the street

She stops in front of a coffee place

Lily

“BarStucks! Nice!”

She’s now walking with coffee and a croissant

She sips, but then spews it out

Lily

“Ugh! I don’t like coffee! What was I thinking?”

She passes by the gateway to the sorcerers’ kingdom (with its strange symbol)

She backtracks

Lily

“What the...”

She touches it and falls through, leaving the food behind

White flash

Angle on Lily standing inside the entrance to the Sorcerers’ Kingdom

Lily

“Whoa! What is this place?”

Spears are suddenly aimed at her

She looks shocked

She is standing there at spear-point, surrounded by sorcerers

Lily

“Heh, hello strange savages.... I’m not really supposed to be here, soo... I’ll be going now... heh...”

Frida (moving her daggers threateningly)

“Oh no you don’t!”

Radcliffe

“What should we do with her?”

Frida

“Decapitation is an option!”

Radcliffe

“Nonsense! We should just send her-“

???

“What’s happening?”

The sorcerers all freeze, then they move out of the way to make way for Warwick

They mutter nervously, as Warwick walks through

Radcliffe

“E-emperor Warwick... *phew* what is it sir?”

Warwick examines Lily and then turns to Radcliffe

Warwick

“Who’s this?”

Radcliffe

“She- she just entered! I don’t know where she came from...”

Warwick (studying)

“Hmm... a mortal... my curse worked, the barrier has been weakened... excellent...”

Frida

“Sir, may I decapi-“

Warwick

“No. Take her to the dungeon!”

Frida (disappointedly)

“*sigh* yes sir...”

Radcliffe

“Don’t struggle”

Lily

“Let’s not be so hasty!”

Hard cut, she’s in a prison cell

Lily

“Dang it...”

She hears muffled voices

Camera pans up to the roof of the dungeon building, Warwick and Radcliffe are talking

Radcliffe

“So what now? You banked on a mortal entering, but how can she help? She’s weak and knows nothing of sorcerery”

Warwick

“You underestimate mortals, she could be useful... she could be the key to restoring the natural order for all we know...”

Radcliffe

“Yes, but sir-“

Warwick

“That’s enough! Do not argue! I underestimated them once... and look where it led us!”

He gestures the entire, very small kingdom

Warwick

“You have no idea what I’ve done for you! Without me, you’d be devoured by the beasts of this realm! You believe yourself to be strong, but you’re not! Only I have the will to do what has to be done!”

Radcliffe

“Sorry sir...”

Warwick

“Eh don’t worry! The time for our victory is coming. I have formulated a plan, and backups if it fails... the mortal is vital... so, what are you questioning?”

Radcliffe

“Nothing sir... continue...”

Frida And Grey run up

Grey

“Yo, we got issues!”

Frida

“Quiet! We spotted something!”

The four sorcerers look over the edge of the roof. In the distance, two large squid-like beasts are floating

Warwick

“Marsons! Get inside, kill the lights!”

Lily looks out of her window at the marsons

Lily

“What’re those?”

Warwick

“Beasts of the mid-reap,! They find fun in disassembling molecules!”

Lily

“Sooo... not good”

Warwick

“They are some of the most evil creatures in our universe, always eating flesh... and slicing eyes... be quiet!”

Lily’s face lights up, like she had an idea

Lily starts screaming

Lily

“HEY! GET OVER HERE!”

Warwick (furious)

“You idiot! You’ve doomed us all!”

The marsons turn

Warwick

“Ready the soldiers!”

Radcliffe gestures at himself, Frida and Grey

Radcliffe

“We’re already here... sir...”

Warwick

“THEN GET GOING!”

Radcliffe

“Yes sir! Frida, Grey, with me!”

Warwick is breathing heavily

Lily looks satisfied with herself

Warwick

“You’re a disappointment...”

Lily

“What?”

Warwick

“You wanted the beasts to destroy this building so you could escape I assume...”

Lily

“Yeah... how’d you know?”

Warwick

“When you have seen as much war as I have, you learn how to spot predictable, stupid strategies”

Lily

“You were in a war?”

Warwick

“Yes... it ended thirty years ago...”

Lily

“How-“

Warwick

“Silence!”

Warwick jumps off the roof and rushes to help the other Sorcerers

Warwick

“How deadly are they?”

Radcliffe

“Sir... I haven’t seen any this big in a long time... it would take five-hundred men at least to take those down!”

Warwick

“Hmm... we must be careful... don’t want- oh no, they’re approaching!”

Frida

“Sir, we won’t be able to hold them off!”

Warwick

“We must try!”

Grey

“I don’t know about that...”

Warwick

“Enough foolishness! Get moving!”

Lily watches the four Sorcerers move towards the marsons

Lily starts working at the bars

Sorcerer from below

“It’s no use y’know, they be enchanted”

Lily

“Rats!”

Warwick uses his scepter to blast an energy beam at one of the beasts

It roars furiously

Warwick looks temporarily concerned, but then looks over at a tree

He uses the scepter to levitate the tree and use it against the marson

It screeches in pain

Warwick

“Frida! Now!”

Frida

“At once!”

Frida jumps on top of the Marson and uses her daggers to cut it’s head open (yummy)

Green liquid spills out and the beast falls

Warwick (breathing heavily)

“Good *pant* work *pant* fri-“

The other beast knocks him back so hard he launches and breaks through the walls of the dungeon building

It’s Lily’s cell of course

Lily (sarcastically)

“Good job”

Warwick

“You were the one who alerted the beasts in the first place...”

Lily

“Touché”

Warwick

“Perhaps we could work together take on the second one- oh, she’s already gone!”

Lily is running off, she enters Death’s Tower, runs through (lots off significant stuff in the background. She stops in front of a painting.

￼

Lily

“Wow... that’s very vandalized...”

A large boom sound, and she keeps running

Lily

“Oh glub oh glub-“

A Marson tentacle breaks through the wall, and knocks her through another wall

She lands next to Warwick

Warwick

“Well?”

Lily

“Depends, will you let me free?”

Warwick

“If you assist us in battle, then I suppose so”

Lily

“You got yourself a deal!”

Warwick

“Let’s go then!”

Cut to the second marson

It has Radcliffe, Frida and Grey in its tentacles

Grey

“I’m like dead bro!”

Warwick and Lily soar in (Lily wearing armor and holding a sword and shield)

They attack the beast, Lily slapping it with her shield and swiping at it with her sword

Warwick uses magic to attack it

Eventually it falls

Radcliffe

“We’re free!”

They cheer

Lily

“Alright evil sorcerer man! We had a deal, let me go”

Warwick

“Not so fast! I’m changing our agreement”

Lily

“You dirty-“

Warwick

“I’ll let you go! If you agree to help me!”

Lily

“How do you mean?”

Warwick

“Thirty years ago, us sorcerers were fighting for control of the mortals! Then Malcom decided to revel against us. We fought, but I underestimated Malcom’s abilities, he got his hands on one of our spell-books and used it to make the enchanted barrier, no sorcerer can leave this cursed kingdom! But you, you’re the first person to come here and not be decapitated by Frida!”

Lily

“What are you suggesting?”

Warwick

“Become our Agent, retrieve something from Malcom’s storage room that I desire greatly! What do you say?”

Lily

“*sigh* I’ll be locked in there otherwise?”

Warwick

“Yes”

Lily

“Okay... I agree to your terms. Just don’t hurt Tim...”

Warwick

“I will not! Anyway, now that you’re here we haven’t a moment to lose!”

Warwick and Lily walk back to the Sorcerers’ Kingdom

Lily

“Do y’all have any tanks?”

Warwick

“I’m sorry, what?”

Cut to the Silvas eating dinner

Tim

“You ever get the feeling we miss the really important stuff?”

Alex and Malcom

“No”

Tim thinks for a moment and continues eating

The End
