Luz: I know my good angles. I'm going to enter that competition!
[Multiple other students runs by them]
King: Ugh! What are these basement dwellers doing out in the natural sunlight?
Tinella Nosa (Y'all still remember her?): Uhm, we're in line for Jón Dé Plumé, the most famous writer on the Boiling Isles, famed author of the Realm Warriors series! I'm going have him read my story....and marry me. [Smiles creepily]
[Cut to Jón signing a book]
Man: Jón, will you sign my child?
Jón: I'll sign anything! [Laughs evilly]
King: Such power! Such command he holds over his minions! I must have the same power! Luz the Human! I, too, shall enter the competition!
Luz: Really? [Excitedly gasps] We could work together! It'll be perfect! We're best friends, so we'll make the best team!
King: Team! Yes!
[Luz begins walking away]
King: My name goes first on the cover! [Follows after her]

[Indistinguishable chatter]
Eda: [Grabs books and tosses it] Boring, [knocks books onto a child's head] boring. [Grabs another book] Boring. [Gasps as she looks in a mirror] Another wrinkle! The curse is quickening!
Steve (FUCK YEAH! IT'S STEVE!): You, lackey.
[Eda ducks behind a banner that says "READ! OR DIE!". She lifts the banner and glares at a woman]
Eda: Lilith... [Sneers at her]
Lilith: Do you have the thing we discussed?
Snake Merchant: Oh! Yes, right here. [Hands over her a map]
Lilith: [Opens it] Excellent. A map to the Bloom of Eternal Youth. I think the emperor will be very pleased.
Steve: Ma'am, shouldn't we be searching for the Owl Lady to join the coven? Remember that whole thing?
Lilith: [Laughs] My sister's curse has left her frail and weak. She'll still be there when we get back. (And not to mention, that boy seems to be by her side at all times, if we get rid of him, we'll have my sister..)
Eda: [Rolls her eyes; groans]
Lilith: This comes first, it's for the emperor after all.
Steve: Yeah! [Knocks over the snake merchant's books and srolls] All hail the emperor!
Lilith: Very good Steve. [Pats his shoulder and walks away]
