Season #1 Episode #5: Covention

---

Principal Bump:
Hello, Bonesborough! Students ask me all the time, "Principal Bump, what's the height of magical achievement?"

Mattholomule:
Is it this? [increases the size of his head greatly, crushes the student next to him]

Principal Bump:
Wow. I failed you as a principal. [grabs the mic with some feedback] It's being selected to join the best of the best. And there are none better than the jewel of the coven system [three witches appear] and the enforcers of His will, the Emperor's Coven.

Luz:
Whoa. [looks to the side and waves]

Willow & Gus: Luz! [pointing to Gus's forehead, which has been signed]

Principal Bump:
Feast your eyes on this elite force, each member handpicked to help usher in a new age of controlled magic.

[Each Coven guard traces a white spell circle above their head. One produces a jet of flame, another water, and the third lightning. The three elements come together in a firework that turns to confetti, which Luz grabs.]

Eda:
[to the demon next to her] When does that "elite force" get here? [laughs]

[The demon moves away. The Coven guards are now holding the same elements in balls between their hands.]

Principal Bump:
Members of the Emperor's Coven have access to all-- yes, all forms of magic. Ooh. Aah.

Audience:
Ooh. Aah.

Principal Bump:
But... only the best can ascend these ranks. Some day that could be one of you!

[He points directly at Amity, who brightens and squeals.]

Eda:
[laughs]

Luz:
Hmm?

[The three guards grab their capes and disappear in flashes of white light.]

Principal Bump:
And now, I'm pleased to introduce the esteemed leader of this coven and this year's mystery guest. You know her, you love her! Lilith!

[Audience gasps]

Eda:
[stops laughing] Huh?

[A bright flash of light near the ceiling turns into a blue raven sitting on a branch. It flies off the branch to the stage, landing to reveal Lilith. It disappears with a screech as she lifts her arms and sends her mask flying. The audience applauds and cheers, while Eda is looking at her speechless. Luz notices.]

Luz:
You know her?

Eda:
You could say that.

Luz:
[gasps] Mysterious past!

Lilith:
Thank you, all. [magically sends her cape and mask back into Principal Bump] It wasn't easy for me to rise to the top. I also started from humble beginnings.

Mattholomule:
Like me?

Lilith:
Now I have the highest honor of enforcing the Emperor's will. So be more! The Emperor's Coven awaits you!

[She spins, creating the raven illusion again. It spreads its wings before bursting into balls of light. Lilith poses with her arms out, smirking, while Eda glares at her.]

[Cut to outside of the auditorium as Eda and Luz leave.]

Luz:
Eda! Where are you going?
