Two worlds
Chapter four

Text: Wout jut
The heavens have fallen.
The wind jerks to my wings.
The earth trembles beneath my feet.

Page  1. panel 1. A high terrifying scream goes through the night A man called Mellis reacts shocked. He was busy with searched branches. He’s an ecarian, standing on the foot of a hill. But not with the camouflage on his skin. He’s not from the forest. A half, light-blue moon is shining. He wears farmer clothes. A t-shirt, so the night is warm.
Caption: I have known war, and I have seen too many. People can be so cruel. So… heartless. Living in peace is an illusion.

panel 2. He runs on the hill going up, frightened of what to see.
Caption: Why in hell are they screaming? Probably just a needle in a finger, or a fight.

Panel 3. What he sees is terrifying and makes his blood boiling. There are soldiers. Three are holding the children and one is raping, or trying too, the wife of Mellis. The children are very scared. Those are the children we’ve seen in part one. Mujama with her brother and sister. There’s a good view of the top of the hill. It’s similar like Stonehenge. There are several burning torches.

Panel 4. Mellis is noticed, because Mellis is coming at them. Rage is taking over and like an animal he’s attacked the men.
Mellis: Veriél!!!!

Panel 5. So it’s clearly Mellis knows the woman who is with the children. Mellis rips the head of a soldier and takes his sword.
Caption: I don’t believe it. My old friend.
Veriél: Greetings, Mellis. It’s good to see you again.

Panel 6. Mellis storms with his sword towards Veriél and shows his sharp teeth. This is important. It shows that Mellis has other ancestors then the Ecarian we’ve encountered before.

Panel 4. Mellis is forced to go back. Veriél is getting the upper hand.
Veriél: your rage is not enough to defeat me.

Mellis: No kidding.

Panel 6. Mellis cuts the right leg of Veriél open.

Panel 7. A second strike hits Veriél on the chest and quickly she steps back. Mellis is out for blood.

Panel 5. Veriél steps on her big bird, a Taskeon. Mellis is bleeding, like he could die every moment. We see that the soldiers put the three children on other birds.
Veriél: Farewell, old friend. I hope that your soul will find peace in the hereafter.

If I allow you into my reality,
I will lose myself.

Panel 1. We're at the swimmingpool again. The pool is almost empty. Around it there's still a mess, because of the fire and the explosion. We see Mujama observing the area. She looks calculated, without emotions. Byrne is looking sad. It's already dark. The stars are shining and the light comes from a moon.
Caption Mujama: - That's what the world is coming to? Hmm, point taken.
-  I'm a C.E.O. of a very large company… and I didn't see it coming.

Panel 2. Mujama looks to Byrne. Mujama face is very hard, full of anger.

Elisa: What the hell?
Strap: No, no, no, no, no!

Mujama: We're too late and right in the middle of things.

Panel 5. Everyone and everything is now surrounded by a bright light. It's hard to see the four of them. We see them still, but only a little.

Panel 6. The sun is shining. We're still at the swimmingpool, but everything is clean. It's early in the morning, so there's fog above the water.
Elisa is with her hands on her knees, almost puking. She has done timetravel before with Strap, but still not used to it. Both Mujama and Byrne are throwing up. Strap is standing close to the two woman, looking angry.
Strap: Yeah, that happens the first time you timetravel. And the second, the third, the fourth.
What were you thinking?!


Page 7.

Panel 1. Mujama looks up and is shocked to see him. His arms are crossed and he just looking and standing there.
Mujama: You?

Panel 2. He points a finger to here. He understands why she did it, and how. But he's still amazed that it even worked. He's angry, but also afraid if he can bring them back.

Page 8.

Panel 1. She puts her hand up, like she doesn't want to hear a thing.

- I'm sorry for what I've done with you. But suddenly you were in my dream. That very moment was out of my control.

Panel 2. She looks at him. Small eyes.
Mujama: The "looking into your memories", wasn't my doing. Well, sort of, but you became part of my memories. I was trying to get you out of it.

Panel 3. She points at him.
Mujama: But, I've saw something very interesting in your memories. It was just a thought, but enough. The ability for time travel.

Panel 4. Still the same look.
Mujama: So if you want to warn me about the butterfly effect, say no more, because I don't care.

Panel 5. Bigger panel now with both of them in it.
Mujama: I'm going to change the timeline and I don't care that events will be erased. I'm going to save my husband and child and everyone else. After that, we return to the present and everything will be fixed again. And the killer… will be dead.

Panel 6. Just Mujama again. She's very clear and warns Strap.
Mujama: And the two of you will not stop me, because you will sleep trough everything.


Page 9.

Panel 1. Strap signs. He's in no mood to fight.
Strap: Sign.
Caption: I hope this is temporary.

Panel 2. To her surprise, he turns around.
Strap: You're very, very lucky that I'm here. Do you even know how to return to your timeline?

Panel 3. Mujama is also angry.
Mujama: I don't intent to return.

Panel 4. He's really angry now. Like a teacher who has to teach a student who doesn’t want to listen. His staff appears in his hand and before them a hologram appears.
Strap: You've acted like a child! Jumping into the water without knowing what's in the water and in which direction it flows.
Before you do anything, you need to know how time works.

Panel 5. Mujama wants to walks away.
Mujama: I don't need your lecture.
Strap: Well, that's too bad. I will help you with saving them, but let me first explain with what you're dealing with.

Panel 6. We look at the face of Mujama, and behind her we see Strap.
Strap: Sure, walk away. Don't make use of the opportunity of help of an experienced person. This isn't a joke to me or a kid's game.

Strap: You've made yourself part of something greater. I can help you with that, if you let me.

Strap: Like I side, you've jumped in unknown waters.  

Panel 4. A hologram appears of a river in front of them. Strap points to a certain point, which is marked with a red cross.
Strap: This river is our timeline. Our universe, which flows to the right side of this projection. It's our home, so to speak. This red cross is our present. Our start of origin.

Panel 5. Now he points to a second marked cross, which is green. Below the green cross is attached a new river that starts flowing.
Strap: We went back in time, into the same river. The very moment we arrived in the past, we've created a new river. A new timeline. A new universe.  

Panel 6. He looks to Mujama. He knows she smart enough to understand it. He points to the second river.
Strap: After making changes in events and you travel back to your present, presumable you know how to return, you will notice that there are two of you. That's because you're still in this river.

Panel 1. Elisa has taken a chair. She heard the story before. For her it's bla, bla, bla. Strap is looking at her, his face is like Spock from Star Trek. Annoyed.

Strap: Do you understand the implication of that?

Panel 3. Mujama looks to him. Afraid to understand.

Strap: To go back to your original point of the journey, you will need something to go back. That something needs to remember the coordinates from where you left.

Strap: Without this staff, I'm lost and then it's almost impossible to find the right timeline. The right dimension.

Panel 6. He points the staff the Mujama. His eyes are looking terrified. He hopes that she will give him a answer that will comfort him, but he's very afraid that she didn't prepared to go back. After all, she's very new with timetravel.

Panel 2. We see his face now, and we know him very well (it's Graves). It's the nasty older guard (known as guard two) from the beginning. He has his phone before him, talking to someone he can see. We can't see this person.

Caption Mujama: You know, life can be weird. Sometimes really weird. Somehow, I've put myself in the weirdest situation you could ever image. If I would decide to write a diary and somebody would find it, that person would really think that I'm a nutjob.

Panel 5. Byrne holds her arms around Mujama. Both crying, but Mujama much, much more.
