Chapter 2 - who am I

Scene 7 — "The Girl by the Waterfall"

EXT. WATERFALL – DAY

A boy, ATON, spots a girl sitting quietly on a rock — ALICIA (14), pale white hair, soft expression.

ATON

Hey! I'm Aton. What's your name?

ALICIA

Alicia.

She studies him — cautious but curious.

ATON

Neil said you might want company?

Alicia looks away — unsure — but gestures for him to sit.

Suddenly — the world warps.

Scene 8 — "The Feast"

INT. GRAND DINING HALL – MOMENTS LATER

A feast appears across a massive table.

NEIL

Eat as much as you'd like.

Aton stares at stacked plates — mesmerized.

Across the table, Alicia glances at him — then quickly down again.

Aton looks back — she freezes, embarrassed.

Scene 9 — "Forbidden Magic"

EXT. WATERFALL – NIGHT

Alicia sits alone again — as always.

Aton approaches.

Slips.

ATON

Wha—AHHH!

Alicia lifts a hand.

ALICIA

(sharp)

Citas ve levitate!

Aton slows mid-fall — floating beside her.

He stares — amazed.

ATON

How did you do that?!

ALICIA

Magic. Don't tell me you can't use it.

She takes his hands gently.

ALICIA (CONT'D)

There are four types:

• Natural

• Holy

• Dark

• Celestial

One of them... is forbidden.

A beat — wind rustles — eerie atmosphere.

ALICIA (CONT'D)

Try: "Nos, ve, levitate."

ATON

Okay... Nos, ve—

Nothing.

She steps closer — helping him — their palms nearly touching.

ALICIA

Together.

BOTH

Nos, ve, levitate—

Scene 10 — Interrupted

A blue orb shoots out of the darkness — BOOM — explosion of rock and dust.

Alicia coughs — searching for Aton.

ALICIA

Aton! Where are you?!

He emerges — shaken.

VOICE (O.S.)

Don't be afraid.

Your lives... are precious to me.

A man steps from the shadows — dressed like a holy POPE.

POPE

I'm simply here...

to collect the daughter of Satan.

Alicia's eyes widen — pain floods her mind — memories slam back:

Demons. Fire. A crying baby.

A voice: "I will guide you."

Alicia SCREAMS.

ALICIA

What am I!?

POPE

A monster who must be executed.

Scene 11 — Neil vs Estris

NEIL appears — furious.

NEIL

Who are you?

The Pope smiles — wicked.

ESTRIS

A fallen angel.

His robe falls — revealing black wings.

ESTRIS (CONT'D)

And the boy... dies too.

Aton gasps — realizing:

ATON

Emily... told him...

A dark truth hits him.

Scene 12 — Reality Breaks

Magic erupts — the battle goes cosmic:

• Trees bend like liquid

• Space tears open

• Colors invert

• Sound distorts

ESTRIS fires a cataclysmic beam — Neil tries to warp reality — fails.

BLAST — Neil down.

Estris appears behind Aton — hand on Alicia's head.

ESTRIS

Learn magic.

Get strong.

We'll meet again.

With a snap — he and Alicia vanish.

Aton collapses — shaking.
