Season #1 Episode #19: Young Blood, Old Souls

---

Emperor's coven delegate: One spot is available. You duel tomorrow. The winner will join our ranks.

Lilith:
[voiceover] I knew Edalyn would beat me. She was younger, but worked twice as hard. She met me at my level.

[Teen Lilith walks away from the stand while Eda reaches out to her. Cut to Teen Lilith wearing a cloak and walking through the Night Market]

Lilith:
[voiceover] Emperor Belos always said, "To be great, you have to make sacrifices." What would he do in my situation? I found a spell that would take away her powers.

[Teen Lilith looks at a scroll with an owl seal on it. Her face goes from nervous to determined, and breaks the seal. A bright red light comes from the scroll, taking over the screen. Cut to a door opening to Eda's room as she sleeps. An indistinct, shadowy figure becomes Lilith as she steps forward and pulls down the hood of her cloak. She approaches Eda's bed, holding out the cursed scroll. It glows red again, reflecting in Lilith's glasses ominously]

Lilith:
[voiceover] I thought it would just be for a day.

[Cut to the Hexside Grudgby pitch again. This time the stands are packed, and Teen Eda and Lilith stand opposite each other. They each raise an arm in a dueling pose, before Lilith runs forward with a yell, a blue flame appearing in her hand. Eda watches her approach]

Teen Eda:
No!

[Teen Lilith skids to a halt, the flame on her hand dying out. She looks surprised]

Teen Eda:
I refuse to battle my sister. [walks up to a shell-shocked Lilith] I've decided that covens aren't really my style. Hey, don't forget me when you're big shot, sis.

Lilith:
[voiceover] And as Edalyn walked away...

[Teen Eda barely makes it to the edge of the Grudgby pitch before she starts yelling in pain and falls to her hands and knees. Feathers burst from her hand and race up her arm, tearing the seam of her uniform. Brown wings sprout from her back, her ears grow as she covers her face with claws, until she screams in a voice part-witch and part-beast, her eyes pitch black. The newly transformed Owl Beast looks at the crowd, looks at Lilith, terrified]

Crowd:
[yells and jeers]

Crowd Member:
What is that?!

Crowd Member 2:
That girl is a monster!

[A rock hits Beast Eda's forehead. Emperor's Coven members continue to throw rocks at her as the crowd boos, until Beast Eda flares her wings and snarls at them]

Crowd Member 3:
Get out! GO!

[Beast Eda does just that, turning tail and running away]

Teen Lilith:
Edalyn!

Emperor Belos Delegate: [grabs Lilith's arm] Lilith Clawthrone, We welcome you to the Emperor's coven!
