Season #1 Episode #5: Covention

---

Luz:
Yowza-wowza!

[A light blue double of Luz ducks out from behind her.]

Illusion Luz:
Yowza-wowza!

Luz:
Yowza-wha-a-a?

[Her illusion double walks over to two Illusion track witches. It waves at her and disappears.]

Gus:
[runs over to the other witches] Ah! You've been taken in by the allure of the Illusionist Coven. We like to magic with a hint... [disappears in a cloud of smoke, reappears a few feet to the right] ...of showmanship.

[He bows as the other two appear next to him.]

Luz:
Wow! Acceptance? Comradery? A sense of belonging? Covens sound incredible! Eda, why haven't you ever joined one?

Eda:
Watch closely, Luz.

[Another Illusion track witch is now standing with one of the other ones.]

Eda:
When you join a coven, all your other magic is sealed away.

[A seal in the shape of a mirror appears on the witch's wrist, light blue lines running from it up his arms and face. He pales slightly as the lines fade.]

Eda:
From now on, that kid will only be able to make illusions. Since I never joined a coven, I can do every kind of magic. [creates a fireball in one hand and a ball of water in the other, then makes both disappear] That's why I'm the most powerful witch on the Boiling Isles.

[She walks away. Willow, Luz, and Gus hurry after her, amazed. King starts to follow, but is stopped with a hand on his shoulder.]

King:
Weh?

Student #1:
The tea leaves foretell that this [pulls out a pen] will lead you to your destiny. [puts the pen in his hands]

King:
Destiny? Feh! I'm not paying for--

Student #1:
[retreating into the shadows] It's free-e-e.

King:
Are you bestowing gifts upon me? Yes! I accept your offering! The King of Demons is back!

[Cut to the doorway flanked with guards.]

Luz:
That panel looks popular.

Gus:
[gasps] It's the Emperor's Coven! Do you think they'll sign my forehead?

Willow:
Only one way to find out!

[Willow and Gus run inside. Luz starts to follow them, but stops when she realizes Eda hasn't moved.]

Luz:
Aren't you coming, Eda?

Eda:
No way. Of all the covens, they're the worst. I'll wait out here.

Luz:
I get it, Eda. Covens: bad. Individualism: good. But I'm still figuring this world out, so I'm going to go in there and make up my own mind, okay? [walks in]

Man #1:
[to a guard] I just saw her.

Eda:
Huh?

Man #1:
[holding Eda's wanted poster] She's over there. I think that's her! [points at her]

Eda:
Uh-oh. [runs in] Luz, wait up!

[Cut to a large stadium with a chattering audience. Eda sits down next to Luz.]

Eda:
All right, let's see this mess.

[The lights dim. Principal Bump rises from the floor with spirals of green magic, a spotlight illuminating him. The audience applaudes and cheers as he summons a mic.]
