A NEW WORLD episode 1 : LALUZ FALLS Page #2

M.ANU's countenance darkens, revealing the heaviness in his heart.

M.ANU:
THE TIDES OF FATE HAVE SHIFTED, MY SON. THE QUEEN HAS A MALE HEIR - YOUR BROTHER.

EA bows his head, the gravity of the news weighing him down. He falls to one knee, consumed by grief, yet about to acknowledge the new king. M.ANU quickly stands him up, a gesture of paternal love and pride.

M.ANU (paternal): RISE. YOU NEVER HAVE TO KNEEL, MY SON. MY FIRSTBORN.

As he rises, EA looks at his father, his eyes holding back tears of sorrow and loss. His father, always stoic. EA closes his eyes as black slowly envelops the screen, his face etched with a stoic determination to accept the cruel twists of fate that have befallen him and his son. The music stops. (1:05)

Scene 14

As the camera pans down from the inky depths of deep outer space, our view is drawn towards the crystalline vessel in a dizzying downward spiral. The "Celestial Chariot", whose origins and point of departure remain shrouded in mystery. Our perspective is fixed primarily on the path ahead, with occasional glimpses of the ship's stern.

LALUZ (voiceover):

A HUNDRED LEAGUES, A THOUSAND LEAGUES THE CHARIOT SOARED, CUTTING THROUGH THE VAST EXPANSE WITH RELENTLESS SPEED.

Cut to a wide shot of the crystal ship gracefully gliding through the endless expanse of space, surrounded by the vast ocean of stars.

LALUZ (voiceover):

IN THE VAST EXPANSE OF THE HEAVENS, DARKNESS ENVELOPED THE COSMOS, ITS DEPTHS IMPENETRABLE. AMIDST THE FARAWAY, DISTANT STARS, THEIR SHIMMERING LIGHT FLICKERED LIKE CELESTIAL EYES, CASTING A MESMERIZING GLOW UPON THE COSMIC TAPESTRY.

The camera sees small far away objects getting closer and larger. The music stops.

Cut to a first-person point of view of the crystal ship navigating on a downward spiral through the vast ocean of space.

Cut to :
EXT. SPACE - OUTER SPACE

Scene 18

Each world is anthropomorphic. The camera captures both the chariot and each heavenly body. The camera follows LALUZ in his chariot as he continues his downward spiral. He is flying his chariot through space and suddenly encounters GAGA, who is alive and has two faces.

LALUZ (voiceover):

LITTLE GAGA, THE ONE WHO SHOWS THE WAY, EXTENDED A WARM WELCOME. (spinning)

The friendly face of a man (friendly): GREETINGS, TRAVELER! I AM THE GUARDIAN OF THE UNDERWORLD. FOLLOW ME. (spins)

The angry face of a woman(angrily interjects): DON'T TRUST HIM! HE'S JUST TRYING TO TRICK YOU. STAY AWAY. TURN BACK NOW BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!

He is taken aback by GAGA's unexpected appearance and hesitates for a moment.

LALUZ (whispering): THERE IS NO TURNING BACK.

He continues the downward spiral following the side with the friendly face.

Scene 19

LALUZ (voiceover):

WITH A LEANING GAIT, BEFORE AND AFTER THE CELESTIAL ANTU IT WAS DESTINED TO TRAVEL,TO FACE FORWARD, TO FACE BACKWARD, WITH TWO FACINGS IT WAS ENDOWED. AT ONCE I CONSIDERED ITS APPEARANCE AS FIRST TO GREET ME, A GOOD OMEN ; BY THE CELESTIAL GODS I AM WELCOMED!  SO WAS MY UNDERSTANDING. IN MY CHARIOT I FOLLOWED GAGA'S PATH; TO THE SECOND GOD OF THE HEAVENS.

Scene 20

Wide shot of the chariot navigating in a downward spiral. A distant object appears, with blue hues shining like pure water.

LALUZ (voiceover):

ITS NAME, GIVEN BY KING EN.SHAR, WAS ANTU. IN THE DEEP DARKNESS, IT WAS LOOMING, AND OF THE UPPER WATERS, IT WAS THE COMMENCEMENT. HER BEAUTY ENCHANTED ME. WHAT A SIGHT! THE CELESTIAL ANTU, WITH HER BLUE HUES SHINING LIKE PURE WATER. HER SEDUCTIVE EYES AND SMILE HAVE CAST A SPELL ON ME.

The camera zooms in on its surface. It's alive, pulsating with energy, it takes on a fluid and hypnotic quality, like a rippling ocean, a beautiful and intricate pattern of swirls and colors, almost like a work of art. It seems to be communicating with LALUZ.

Cut to INT. LALUZ'S MIND - A FANTASY

Scene 21

His imagination runs wild as he envisions himself approaching ANTU. She beckons him with a finger, and he is powerless to resist. The chariot begins to veer off course, pulled towards ANTU's seductive call.

ANTU (seductively): COME CLOSER, MY DARLING. DON'T BE AFRAID.

LALUZ (fascinated): BEYOND COMPARE IS YOUR BEAUTY, ANTU.

ANTU (smiling):
I CAN SEE THAT YOU ARE ENCHANTED. WOULD YOU LIKE TO EXPLORE MY WORLD?

LALUZ (with longing): YES, I WOULD FOLLOW YOU ANYWHERE.

Cut to INT. LALUZ'S MIND - REALITY

Scene 22

Cut to a close-up of LALUZ. He squints then tightly closes his eyes and speaks to himself.

LALUZ (whispering): I MUST RESIST HER.

He forcefully steers the chariot away, narrowly avoiding ANTU's pull and resuming its course towards Ki. The music abruptly stops.

Scene 23

Cut to a first-person point of view of LALUZ from inside the ship.

LALUZ (voiceover):

IN THE VAST EXPANSE, ANTU'S COMPANION SHIMMERED INTO VIEW, A MIRROR IMAGE IN SIZE. IT EMANATED A CAPTIVATING GREENISH-BLUE GLOW, DISTINCT AND ALLURING. A RADIANT HALO ENCIRCLED ITS PRESENCE, PROVIDING A FIRM AND STEADY FOUNDATION IN THE COSMIC REALM.

The majesty of AN's 27 known moons was a sight to behold, divided into three groups: thirteen inner moons, five major moons, and nine irregular moons. Their gravitational forces created a treacherous environment, attempting to capture the chariot as it navigated through the cosmic realm. As LALUZ maneuvered the chariot, he felt the pull of the moons trying to ensnare him. He deftly evaded their attempts, using the knowledge and expertise of his cosmic travels to avoid being captured.

Scene 24

The camera gets a wide shot of the crystal ship navigating away in a downward spiral.

LALUZ (voiceover):

TO THE TWO CELESTIALS I BADE A FOND FAREWELL,

VINI VICI & TRISTAN & AVALON - COLORS (2:22) 25-26
