Season #1 Episode #2: Witches Before Wizards

Luz:
[squishes her face against the window] No, I won't.

Eda:
[closes the blinds with a spell] And because you work for me, too, unless you want to start paying rent.

King:
[throws a short tantrum before stomping out the door]

Eda:
Be back by nightfall or risk mortal peril. [slams the door again]

Hooty:
Have a nice trip.

King:
Huh! Let's get this over with.

[Fade to Bonesborough. Luz and King walk through an archway]

Luz:
Woah!

[Zoom out to reveal a wall covered in wanted posters on either side of the archway. Various types of demons pass, all of which Luz stare at in amazement.]

King:
Hey, it's rude to stare.

Luz:
I've only seen places like this in my dreams. It's incredible. And I'm the only human here?

King:
[shrugs] Haven't seen any others.

Luz:
Wow! There must be a reason for that, right? Why am I here? What if I, Luz Noceda, average teen, actually had... [gasps] ...a predetermined path of greatness? [gasps] Just like Azura!

King:
Yeah. Did Azura's path to greatness involve her delivering boil cream? [takes a potion labeled "Boil B' Gone" from the sack and holds it up]

Luz:
Today I'm delivering packages, but tomorrow I'll be earning the respect of everyone on the Boiling Isles with my magical prowess.

King:
Ha! Good luck. The Boiling Isles is nothing but a cesspool of despair.

Luz:
More like a cesspool of delight.

[Luz puts the boil cream back in the sack before hefting it over her shoulder and looking around. She starts in the direction of the market, where she walks up to a centaur holding a pumpkin in front of his chest.]

Luz:
What has four hooves and wants to buy a potion? This guy.

Centaur:
[sighs and lowers the pumpkin to reveal his face is on his chest] My eyes are down here.

Luz:
[exclaims]

[Cut to a house, where Luz rings the doorbell. She leaves her hand on the button, and the doorbell bites her hand and slowly starts to eat her arm. King walks away in annoyance.]

[Cut to a curb, where Luz and King are sitting, the latter scarfing down a Not Dog from the cart behind them.]

King:
[sighs] I know I've had enough delight for one day.

Luz:
I thought being the only human in a magical world would make me special. But apparently, it just makes everyone want to scream at me or... [holds up her arm to reveal a small winged creature biting her elbow] eat me. [flings the creature away and sighs, opening her book] At this point, Azura had already been sent on an enchanted quest. Where's my quest‐granting wizard?

King:
Sorry to break it to you, Luz, but no one here is that well‐dressed.

Luz:
This has been a rough day. [stands and hefts the potions sack over her shoulder with a grunt; takes out a piece of paper and starts down the alley] Let's just deliver this last package and go home. Maybe this world isn't what I thought it wa‐‐ [gasps] Pretty!
