Halcyon the animation

EXT. DARK FOREST - NIGHT

PHEE runs through the forest. She briefly checks behind her. she tumbles down a hill into a clearing. Phee rubs her head. she attempts to stand up. She winces in pain stumbles back and falls against a tree. She looks at her right leg her ankle is sprained, and her knee has a small gash. She sucks her teeth. The brush before her begins to rustle. All the brush and trees surrounding her begin to rustle loud and violently. Phee shuts her eyes tight and covers her ears. ILYA appears before her. It comes from out of the brush and approaches Phee it lowers its head and taps her nose with its.

CUT TO: BLACK

A small red crystal fragment glows brightly against the black background. It cracks as a voice echoes in the blackness.

Scarlett

Phee!!

FADE IN:

INT.PHEE'S BEDROOM - MORNING

An alarm clock reads "7:20am" and rings loudly. A pile of candy wrappers on the bed begins to rustle. Phee's arm slowly slides from inside the pile and softly swings at the clock and misses 2 or 3 times before she hits it and knocks it to the floor. It shuts off. Phee rises from the pile of wrappers with a disgruntled look and wrappers haphazardly stuck in her messy hair. Phee falls from the bed and crawls into her closet. Clothes begin to fly out of her closet.

INT.KITCHEN - MORNING

Phee's footsteps are heard as she comes down the stairs. she is then heard as she tumbles down the stairs. Phee enters the kitchen as she attempts to button her yellow cape. HYRIA packs a backpack.

Phee halcyon

where's my food?

Hyria

well good morning to you too. you don’t have time for breakfast so just grab a granola bar or something.

Phee Halcyon

I had a strange dream you might want to hear about, it involved a deer.

Hyria ignores her and turns to the fridge and removes two lunches one labeled "P" and the other labeled "RK." Hyria stuffs the lunch labeled "P" into Phee's backpack.

Hyria

You’re going to be late Phee. School now, dreams later. Give this to Rio if you see him

Phee opens her mouth to protest. She sighs grabs her bookbag and the lunch bag labeled “RK” and exits the house. We see a tear stream down Hyria's face. She bites her bottom lip hard. She punches the countertop.

EXT.MERCURIAL CITY PARK - MORNING

Phee skips through the park. The faint sound of a guitar being played is heard. Phee squats closes her eyes and listens. Phee bolts to a tree. She looks up the tree.

Phee Halcyon

you were supposed to walk me to school!

RIO KENTA sits in the tree as he plays a guitar. He opens his eyes slightly to reveal irises of yellow and orange. suddenly his eyes open in shock. He jumps from the tree with a smirk placing one hand on his hip.

Rio Kenta

henlo smol bean

Phee scoffs and spits.

Phee Halcyon

Don’t talk to me in memes.

Rio Kenta laughs. He puts on his jacket.

Rio Kenta

such distaste for millennial humor.

Phee Halcyon

memes are for losers who can’t make any real friends.

Rio Kenta

Wait!

Rio Kenta begins to search in a bush. he then looks inside of a trash can. he crawls under a bench and looks under it.

Phee Halcyon

what...what are you doing?

Rio Kenta stands up and dust himself off and smiles from ear to ear. his expression become overbearing and condescending.

Rio Kenta

oh, you know. just looking for your homies.

Phee glares at Rio Kenta as he continues his condescending expression. A boy rides by on a bike.

Bike Boy

Bodied

Rio Kenta laughs and pats Phee's head.

Rio Kenta

Jokes lil sis, Jokes. You know I’m your homie.

Phee smacks his hand away crosses her arms turns her nose up and walks away. She holds her the lunch bag over the trash can and drops it in.

Phee

Oh yeah, that was your lunch

Rio Kenta

What!? Phee!!

Rio Kenta grabs his guitar and digs into the trash can to retrieve his lunch. He inspects it with a disgusted face and jogs after Phee.

EXT.MERCURIAL MIDDLE - MORNING

Rio Kenta and Phee stop below the steps of the school. Phee hugs Rio Kenta. He awkwardly reciprocates. they both begin to part ways. Rio Kenta stops and turns around.

Rio Kenta

yo, Phee. I’m just trying to make you late, but what’s with the cape? it’s like a trillion degrees out here.

Phee sighs with a blank defeated look upon her face.

Phee Halcyon

I don’t Know Rio, why are you wearing a leather jacket?

Rio Kenta smirks pops his collar and points two finger guns at Phee.

Rio Kenta

because I’m too cool.

Phee Halcyon

that shiny ass forehead begs to differ.

Rio Kenta bites his lip and nods.

Rio Kenta

touché, but you’re late.

The school bell rings. Phee clenches her teeth and slaps her forehead. Phee runs up the stairs and into the building. Rio Kenta stares at the building with an expression shifting from goofy to serious. He raises his palm and looks down at it.

Rio Kenta (v.o.)

Terra ...

Thunder rumbles in the distance. Rio looks up at the dark clouds in the distance. they flash. thunder roars in the distance. he turns his gaze back to the school. he stuffs his hands into his jacket pockets and closes his eyes and heads towards the high school.

Rio Kenta (V.o.)

But why Arc?

INT.CLASSROOM - MORNING

Phee enters the classroom and heads to the desk in the back corner near the window. she plops down into her chair. The teacher Ms. Potters enters the classroom. she tries to clumsily hide a yawn as she makes her way to the podium. she straightens out her papers on the podium clears her throat and smiles.

Ms. Potters

Phee begins to slouch in her chair.

Ms. Potters

Kids begin going up and talking about themselves. Phee has her face pressed against the table. Ms. Potters taps her shoulder. Phee flinches and lifts her head up. Phee goes up to the front of the classroom. Phee clears her throat.

Phee Halcyon

Some Kids in the class snicker.

Ms. Potters

Phee awkwardly walks back to her desk. Kids continue introductions for a while. Ms. Potters takes the podium again. She begins to talk. Phee begins to fall asleep. the clock time lapses forward.

Ms. Potters

the bell rings and everyone except Phee exits the room. Ms. Potters approaches Phee and taps her shoulder. Phee lifts her head and looks zombified.

Phee nods and stumbles drunkenly out the classroom

Coach Carter

Coach Carter fiddles with his keys and heads to the little square office in the corner of the gym. the Kids head outside.

EXT.TRACK-MORNING

Phee and her class run around the track slowly. Phee looks up. The sun is slowly being overtaken by dark clouds. Phee looks ahead again. A shockwave runs through Phee she stops and grabs her chest as she collapses to the floor. some kids stop.

Kid 1

Phee Halcyon

yes, I’m fine just lost my breath for a minute might be the heat.

Kid 2

Phee Halcyon

Phee takes off jogging again. she shakes her head with her eyes closed. she opens her eyes. Her vision goes wobbly. She slows down as she loses her balance. The Students behind her crash into her they all fall. Phee looks up and sighs and lays her face back onto the ground and sighs.

INT.HALLWAY - MORNING

Phee enters the hallway. she begins to travel down the hallway. a shockwave runs through her body and she stumbles against a locker and grip her chest. she gasps for air with a distraught expression. she stumbles to the restroom.

INT.RESTROOM - MORNING

Phee turns on the sink and leans in and splashes her face with water. a red crystal necklace falls from her shirt. she looks at herself in the mirror. she notices a crack in the red crystal necklace she grabs and holds it up to inspect it.

Phee Halcyon

Oh no mom’s necklace, I must have cracked it when I fell!

Phee notices a pale hairless nude humanoid figure in the mirror. It stands and faces away from her in the corner of the bathroom. it twitches. she quickly turns around and the figure has vanished. she drops the necklace it swings to her chest and she splashes her face again.

INT.HALLWAY - MORNING

Phee exits the bathroom and begins walking down the hallway.

Ms. Potters reaches her and hovers over her. she mouths words and looks around frantically. Phee blacks out.

CUT TO: BLACK

EXT.DARK FOREST - NIGHT

Phee awakes. she sits on a rock in a clearing. the night sky is filled with stars that twinkle. Phee looks down. Ilya lies in the grass before her. it raises its head and looks her in the eye. The voice of a Female and Male speaks.

Ilya

do not be alarmed Child of Man.

Phee slowly rises. she wears a blank expression. she hovers over the Deer. She inhales deep. She squeals. she rubs and pats the deer all over.

Phee Halcyon

oh my gosh you are so soft and adorable!!

Ilya shakes its head and stands and stomps its foot. It snorts impatiently.

Ilya

Phee Halcyon! this is not the time for such tom foolery.

Phee appears back on the rock. Ilya huffs and lies back on the ground. Phee raises her hand.

Phee Halcyon

I’ve got a few questions.

Ilya

speak child.

Phee Halcyon

how do you know my name?

Ilya

I know a great many things, Child of Man.

Phee is visibly frustrated.

Phee Halcyon

you know my name, stop calling me child of man.

Ilya tilts its head.

Ilya

but you are a child of man, are you not?

Phee sighs.

Phee Halcyon

fine, next question, where are we?

Ilya

inside your subconscious.

Phee Halcyon

How?

Ilya

you’re going through a change.

Phee looks dissatisfied.

Phee Halcyon

yes, I’m twelve, I’ve been going through changes since I was 9.

Ilya stares silently. It stands and makes its way to the edge of the clearing. it stops before it enters the forest. it looks at Phee and nods. Phee stands and jogs behind Ilya. They reach a pond. Ilya kneels and laps at the water. The pond begins to ripple and glow bright white. An image of The Deer of golden-brown light appears. it sniffs the ground below it. a ball of brown and gray forms between its antlers. the ball grows briefly then stops.

Ilya

pay attention, young one.

A Dragon of Red-light flies into the pond image and circles over The Deer. It breathes fire onto the ball as it circles it. It Stops revealing a flaming ball of molten volcanos and earth. The Dragon lands and lies down beside The Deer. A Hawk of Gray light dives into the image in the pond. It flies up and Dives rhythmically. It launches gust of wind at the Ball after each dive. The ball is covered in a slight transparent film. The Hawk perches onto the left antler of The Deer. An Octopus of Blue light Swims through the air. It inhales deeply. It releases a blast of water at the Molten Ball. The Octopus stops and swims down to The Deer's leg and attaches to it. The ball cools. The ball is covered in mostly water with some dirt exposed. An Eel of Yellow light slithers into the image in the pond. It wraps around the ball and emits a jolt of electricity. It slithers into the Deer's antlers below the Hawk. The ball forms storm clouds. bolts of lightning fire from the clouds. A Wolf of Pure Black jogs into the Image in the pond. It howls inaudibly and claws a tear into the white space and reveals a dark space. the Space expands and turns the white image into black. The wolf lies down next to the opposite side of the Deer from the Dragon. An Owl of White light flies into the image in the pond. it flies around and leaves a trail of sparkles that twinkle in place. It lands on the right antler of the Deer. Phee's jaw drops. The ball begins rotating and time lapses. vegetation grows. animals appear. humans appear. Humans evolve. The Animals of Light become embers of their respective colors the embers circle the ball slowly. They grow brightly and scatter into the Earth. The pond stops glowing. Phee stumbles back and falls on her butt. Phee is frantic as she tries to speak.

Phee Halcyon

did you create the universe?

Ilya

That is a very difficult question to answer

Phee Halcyon

then what...what was that?

Ilya doesn’t respond. Phee squeals. Tears well up in Phee's eyes.

Ilya

why do you weep child?

Phee Halcyon

I’m just so happy, I though id have a boring life forever

Phee wipes away the tears and smiles. Ilya lies down.

Ilya

your life is about to become full of many responsibilities.

Phee Halcyon

oh yeah...?

Ilya

you will be presented many paths in this life from here on out, but only you can decide where you head.

Phee slouches defeated.

Phee Halcyon

Thanks Confucius.

Ilya

Now give me your hand.

Phee Halcyon

no need to tell me twice!

Ilya licks Phee's hand. Phee muffles a joyful squeal. A symbol of an antler appears in light and glows on her hand. It stops and leaves a black antler tattoo on her hand.

Phee Halcyon

does this mean I’m a god?

Ilya

no child of man you are mortal as you have always been and as you will always be.

Phee slouches defeated.

Phee Halcyon

you’re killing me here.

The Deer's ears twitch to the sound of a faint thunder roar. It looks off into the distance. It looks back over to Phee.

Ilya

we shall meet again child of man.

PHEE HALCYON

wait? what? I’ve still got a lot to ask.

Ilya stands and touches its nose to Phee's. A flash of white covers the screen

INT.PHEE'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

Hyria paces back and forth in an anxious manner. Rio Kenta sits on the windowsill and strums his guitar. Phee lies in her bed still. Rio chuckles to himself quietly.

Rio Kenta

If you keep stressing, your hair is going to turn gray.

Hyria runs to a mirror and checks her hair. Her expression shifts from frantic to displeased. She turns and looks at Rio Kenta with a blank expression.

Hyria

Rio, my hair is always gray.

Rio Kenta grins and chuckles.

Rio Kenta

Damn, you must be one stressed individual then.

Hyria sighs and plops down onto a midnight blue beanbag chair. Hyria covers he face with her hands.

Hyria

what do we tell her?

Rio Kenta

the truth.

Hyria

we can’t!

Rio Kenta

then what!?

HYRIA

I don’t know.

Rio Kenta sits down his guitar. The room is lit up with a golden light. Phee floats over her bed shrouded in golden aura. She opens her eyes and mouth and golden beams of light pour out. a golden antler symbol appears on her hand. it turns black and she closes her eyes and slowly descends back on the bed. The Antler turns black. Phee tosses and turns then opens her eyes. she rubs her eyes and yawns. she sits up.

Phee Halcyon

I just had the most...

Rio Kenta

bizarre?

Hyria

confusing?

Phee jumps up and stands on her bed.

Phee Halcyon

Magical dream ever!

Hyria chuckles and sits on the bed next to Phee.

Hyria

I guess that...is one way to put it.

Phee Halcyon

Finally, an adventure!

Rio chuckles and stands up. Hyria grabs Phee's Hand. They exit her room.

I/E.KITCHEN/THE ANCIENT LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA - NIGHT

Rio slides down the railing. Hyria and Phee Come down the stairs still hand in hand. Rio sits on the kitchen counter. Hyria lets go of Phee's hand and walks to the door under the steps. She pulls a key from inside her shirt and unlocks the door. She opens it to reveal a forest lit up by crystals. Hyria enters. Rio and Phee make eye contact, he nods, and she goes through the door. Rio walks through and closes the door behind him. the area is covered in patchy damaged cobblestone with large rocks that protrude from random areas. A dilapidated fountain sits between the group and a large building covered in moss. Rio Kenta sits on the rim of the fountain. Hyria stands next to him.

Hyria

Welcome to The Ancient Library of Alexandria. A place in the space between Earth and the Etherealm.

Phee Halcyon

Ether what?

Rio Kenta

The Etherealm. A parallel dimension so to speak.

HYRIA

Rio Wait, Phee listen…I…we…I will just show you

Hyria clasp her hands together. she closes her eyes and whispers a mantra. She opens her eyes that permeate a white aura. she begins to glow a bright white. Phee covers her eyes and turns to look over at Rio. He now has on sunglasses. Phee sucks her teeth. Hyria’s glow dies out. Phee lowers her arm. Hyria is draped in a white and gold Nun's outfit. Hyria kneels. She pulls open her gown reveal her shoulder. a tattoo of a feather on her shoulder. Phee gasp and covers her mouth.

Phee Halcyon

are we all magic!?

Rio Kenta nods. Hyria fixes her robes and stands up.

HYRIA

I am The Owl Magix of Radiance or Light magic, and you my dear child, no pun intended, are The Deer Magix of Terra or Earth magic.

Rio Kenta

No Phee I am not a Magix

Phee Halcyon

I see, only Hyria and I were recognized for our overwhelming potential obviously.

Rio Kenta

since when did I raise such a cocky little sister.

Phee Halcyon

do I get a Kool gown and A kingdom to rule?

Hyria sighs and places her hand on Phee's shoulder.

Hyria

Phee we don’t rule anything. we are simply the keepers of the balance between all Magic energies, we keep stability.

Phee Halcyon

I think im unqualified for this position, cause i am one of the most unstable people in society.

Rio Kenta

Where is all that confidence from a second ago?

Phee starts Hyperventilating a little bit. Rio gets up and pats Phee on the head. Phee looks up at him starting to calm down. Phee smiles. suddenly her eyes widden.

Rio Kenta

huh? whats up Phee?

Rio looks behind himself. A dragon tail wags around behind him.

Rio Kenta

I guess its hard keeping this form when im surrounded by so much etheric energy, I guess I should show you something kool too Phee.

Rio Kenta's eyes begin glowing the pupil shrinks then elongates into a lizard eye. His body becomes covered in flames. The fire localizes to his Forearms and hands, his back and his face. Horns protrude from his face and wings of fire protrude from his back. the fire extinguishes rand reveals his face, arms, and wings. The area around his eyes is covered in black scales and his horns are black. his wings are black with blue insides. his hands are covered in black armor like scales with sharp claws. Phee giggles.

Phee Halcyon

Its a little baby dragon.

Rio mocks Phee.

Rio Kenta

ItS a LiTtLe BaBy DrAgOn

Hyria

Grow up Rio we dont have time for this!

Phee Halcyon

Rio said something about Etheric energy earlier, whats that?

Rio flaps his wings and flies up to a luminescent crystal shard. he Crushes it and the lets the dust fall. It twinkles as it cascades down around everything. Hyria puts her hand up and the sprinkles begin to pile up.

Hyria

Etheric Energy is living energy that flows through everything in existence.

Phee Halcyon

well if etheric energy is in all things why dont the people of The Earthly Realm use magic and stuff?

Rio Kenta

supposedly this place exist in a timeline where magic was sort of condemned

Phee Halcyon

but there is etheric energy in the Earthly Realm though?

Rio Kenta

yes but in low density maybe about fifty percent less dense than in the Etherealm, maybe lower.

Hyria

a Large portion of the Etheric veins have been drained due to this planes choice to use the magic in damaging ways, but few do exist to keep the world in balance.

Rio Kenta

plus Magic is like Santa, except its real

Hyria smacks Rio in the back of the head. Rio grabs and rubs the back of his head.

Rio Kenta

ouch Hyria it was a joke just chill.

Hyria

I told you about those kind of jokes.

Rio Sighs. Hyria looks over to Phee. Phee looks starry eyed as thought bubble pops up. a crudly drawn picture of Phee as she rides a unicorn with a pink blade and gold crown. Phee shakes her head and starts to drool as the pictures turns to an image of a black knight with a spiked flail as it rides a grizzly bear. Hyria touches Phee's shoulder. Phee snaps back to reality.

Phee Halcyon

sooo when Phee learn magic?

Hyria

speak proper english child, and your body needs to rest.

Phee looks blank as she collapses to the floor.

Phee Halcyon

can i atleast see some magic.

Rio smirks as fireballs form behind him. He looks at Phee through the corner of his eye. He snaps and the fireballs hurl towards Phee. Hyria steps between the attack and Phee. Hyria holds up her hand. the fireballs crash into a shield with a honeycombs pattern. Rio looks freaked out. the Dust settles. Rio chuckles nervously.

Rio Kenta

Hyria wait... i knew you would step in.... i wouldnt hurt phee you know that.... right.... come on dont do this!

Spears of white light float behind Hyria and Phee. Hyria smiles then closes her eyes. The spears fly after Rio Kenta. He flies around and evades them as they crash into the Lumeniscent crystals they explode on impact. Phee looks starry eyed. Hyriadust her hands off and grabs Phee. She drags her to the Door. Rio Kenta lands behind them and follows.

Rio Kenta

Hyria...you could have killed me you know...hyria...dont ignore me.

Hyria

just be glad Phee was entertained rather than frightened or i wouldn’t have missed.

Rio Kenta

Hyria don’t be like that!

INT. PHEE'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

Phee Lies in bed. Rio Kenta sits on her windowsill staring into the black. Hyria tucks Phee into bed and kisses her forehead she begins to walk out of the room. she peaks through the door.

Hyria

Hyria

Rio waves Hyria off. She closes the door. Phee rolls over.

Phee Halcyon

Rio Kenta

Phee Halcyon

Rio Kenta

Phee Halcyon

Rio Kenta

Phee Halcyon

Rio Kenta

Phee Halcyon

Rio stands up and begins to leave. he opens the door and exits. He closes it behind him. Lightning flashes in the window followed shortly by a roar of thunder.

INT. HYRIA'S BEDROOM-NIGHT

Hyria kneels in front of a picture of a younger version of herself, SCARLETT, TOLAN THE DARKLORD, PYROS, MIZU KENTA, and ITSUMI KENTA. Thunder roars outside. Hyria looks out the window.

Hyria

Things are getting strange around here.

EXT. MECURIAL CITY. NIGHT
