Season #1 Episode #1: A Lying Witch and a Warden

---

Luz:
A witch?

Eda:
I am a respected, feared‐‐

Guard #1:
Busted! [breaks the tv]

Monster:
Run! It's a guard!

[All of the customers run away screaming. Eda hops down from the table]

Guard #1:
[holds up Eda's wanted poster] Eda the Owl Lady, you are wanted for misuse of magic and demonic misdemeanors.

Luz:
[peeking over the edge of the table] Whoa! Witch criminal!

Guard #1:
[grabs Eda's arm] You are hereby ordered to come with me to the Conformatorium.

Eda:
[frees her arm] Would you guys quit following me around? I haven't done squat.

Guard #1:
And you're coming too... [picks Luz up by her hood]

Luz:
Aah!

Guard #1:
...for fraternizing with a criminal.

Luz:
Wh‐What? That's not cool!

Eda:
Oh, all right, all right, you win. Just let me get my stuff.

[Eda reaches under the table and grabs her staff, swinging it at the guard. He falls to the ground with a grunt. Eda spins her staff and taps the bottom of it on the table, making all her stuff float in midair. Luz picks herself and her book off the ground]

Eda:
Whoops. Can't forget this.

[Eda reaches into her hair and pulls out the key, pressing the eye to summon the portal door. She closes her hand into a fist, making the tablecloth wrap itself around all of her stuff. She sticks her staff through the bundle and starts running]

Eda:
Follow me, human.

Luz:
[following Eda] This is crazy. If I die here, my mom's gonna kill me!

Eda:
Ha! I won't let 'em hurt you. A human like you is much more valuable to me alive than dead.

Luz:
Wait. What's that supposed to‐‐

Eda:
Whoo‐hoo!

[Eda jumps, pulling herself and Luz onto her staff. They take off into the sky as the guard runs into frame]

Guard #1:
You won't get away with this, Owl Lady! [looks at his hands] Yeah, all right. You did. You got away with it. She got away with it, everybody! Typical.

[Cut to Eda and a crying Luz flying on Eda's staff above the Isles]

Eda:
You can open your eyes now, human.

Luz:
[does so, yells and nearly falls off the staff when she sees the ground below them] Flying staffs, crazy monsters, you're a witch! What is this place?

Eda:
[picks Luz up and rights her] This is the Boiling Isles. Every myth you humans have is caused by a little of our world leaking into yours.

[Various winged creatures fly behind them as Eda talks. A griffin that looks extremely similar to the one Luz made at school flies up next to them and screeches]

Luz:
A griffin!

[The griffin barfs spiders]

Luz:
I knew it!

Eda:
Yep. Griffins, vampires, giraffes....

Luz:
Giraffes?

Eda:
Oh, yeah. We banished those guys. Bunch of freaks.

[Eda lands the staff and hops off, though her hand stays behind]
