[Open on Eda's Human Collectibles stand. She is dusting the table, looking bored, while Luz is reading the first Azura book to King and Merlin. Cut to the pages of the book, showing Azura facing off against Hecate.]
Luz: Emboldened by the dishonor Hecate had shown, Azura lifted her staff to the cotton-candy skies and shouted, "I challenge you to a Witch's Duel!" And look! I drew a flip book. [flips between two pages] Pew, pew, pew!
Merlin: Cool!
King: Show me the picture. [peeking over the top of the book]
Luz: What?
King: Show me the picture! [Luz does] Hah! I can draw better than that. You know, they once called me the King of Artists.
Luz: Wait. I thought you were the King of Demons. Are you just making this up now?
Merlin: He's the "King" of everything...
King: Look, it doesn't matter. What's important is that my followers would leave me offerings in fear of me!
Luz: Well, I can offer you more of this tantalizing book.
Merlin: I'll take up that offer!
Eda: Ugh! Please stop reading that. Its flowery language is an insult to witches and wizards and is driving away all of our serious customers!
Merlin: Um, Eda? [zoom out to the empty street] What customers? There hasn't been a single stand up all day.
Luz: Yeah, what's going on?
Eda: This is a bad omen. There must be something horrible happening today.
Gus: Luz! Merlin! [him and Willow run up to the stand] Something amazing is happening today!
Luz: Gus, Willow! Hey!
Merlin: Hey guys! What's up!?
Willow: [holds up a flier] It's the annual covention! Student witches and wizards get to see all the types of covens before they're placed in one. There's even a mystery guest this year!
Merlin: No way!
Luz: A job fair for witches and wizards! Eda, can we go?
Merlin: Please!
Eda: Absolutely not.
Luz: [groans, drops to the ground]
Merlin: Come on Eda! You never let me go.
Eda: I said no, Merlin. I never joined a coven for a reason. Sure it's like a fun club for witches and wizards, but you're also giving up your magical independence to be part of a crooked system.
Willow: Mmm. [drops the flier]
Eda: Eh, but, you know, no judgment. In any case, I haven't been to one since we were girls.
Merlin: "We"?
Eda: I-- the-- I mean--
Luz: [pops back up] Who's "we"? You have a mysterious past! Now we gotta go!
Merlin: Yes we do!
Eda: No.
Merlin: ... Luz, King.
Luz: Got it! Eda, you leave us no choice!
King: [grabs the book] "You shall not shan't doeth no more harm," Azura callethed out... [continues reading]
Eda: So flowery, so awful.
[Eda walks away, opening the Portal Door and stepping through it.]
King: "Hecate could only screech, screech as did she, for the screeching did worseneth."
