Season #1 Episode #4: The Intruder

---

Eda:
Ahh!

Luz:
Oh, Eda, have I told you how rad your fang looks today?

Eda:
Whatever it is, no.

Luz:
Uh, and your hair is like... girl.

Eda:
I'm not teaching you magic tonight. I'm sleepy. [covers her body with blanket] I'm a sleepy little owl.

Luz:
Please, Eda, please. How am I supposed to earn my witch's staff if I don't know any spells?

Eda:
No. Sleep. [covers her whole head with blanket]

[something clicks]

Eda:
[gasps] Sparkle thing.

[Eda sits up, still wrapped in the blanket, and watches as Luz clicks the pen several times.]

Luz:
Oh, this?

[Eda tosses aside the blanket in favor of perching on the arm of the couch.]

Eda:
Ooh!

[Luz moves the pen tauntingly. Eda swipes for it.]

Luz:
Nope. [Eda falls down] Teach me one spell, and I'll give you your sparkle thing.

Eda:
I respect your cunning, but I also hate you for it.

[Flash of lightning with clap of thunder. Cut to Eda standing in front of Luz.]

Eda:
If you want a witch's staff like mine, don't make me repeat myself. [gasps as she wakes herself up] Witch's staffs have power embedded into them.

Luz:
Gimme!

Eda:
But before one is earned, every witch needs to know how to cast spells on their own. Now... [throws staff to the side] tonight I will show you how to create... light.

[Draws a circle with her finger in the air, which glows orange. White light sparks in the center, forming a large ball of light. It descends until it's in front of Luz's face, where it disappears.]

Luz:
[gasps]

King:
Yawn! Who needs another boring spell lesson when you could be learning all the fun ways a demon could kill you. [holds up a drawing of a demon with giant teeth] Look how teethy. Bite, bite.

Luz:
Be quiet. I need to focus.

Eda:
Now, humans think magic is made out of thin air, but that's stupid. Everything comes from something. Let me ask you, kid. Where do you think magic comes from?

Luz:
Uh, from the heart?

Eda:
Actually, you're right.

Luz:
[gasps in joy, blushes]

Eda:
No, really. [pulls out a diagram of viscera from her hair and shows it to Luz] It comes from a sac of magic bile attached to a witch's heart.

Luz:
Oh, gross. Can I keep that?

Eda:
No. [shoves the diagram back in her hair] Now, everything depends on the spell circle. [draws a large circle in the air] The bigger the circle, the more powerful the spell.

[The circle bursts out, creating a much bigger light than before. It fades much faster.]

Luz:
But how can I, little ol' Luz, do spells if I don't have a magic bile... sac?

Eda:
You know, I'm not actually sure.

Luz:
What?

Eda:
I know witches did magic differently in the past, but I never bothered to figure out how. [laughs, snorts]

Luz:
Eda!

Eda:
Don't worry. You'll figure it out. Now‐‐ [stands and cracks her back] I need to lie down.
