ACT 1 SCENE 1

INT. LILITH'S ROOM – DAY

The storage room: also Lilith's room is filled with antique things, sewing and tinkering materials, cloths and books are scattered everywhere.

SFX: BUZZING SOUND OF ALARM CLOCK

A buzzing sound rang. She turn off her alarm clock and got up, "This is the day" she thought as she get out of her room.

(The camera followed her downstairs)

INT. Dining Room

Decorated with beautiful plants and mechanical objects made of wood.

She looked around but it seems that no one is home. She looked at the window and noticed the busy street of Pnohm.

A man and a lady with blurred faces

(Angrily)

"You mustn't go outside for you will only bring destruction. You've shamed our family enough, stop trying to bring more misfortune"

These words echoed in her memory. She remembered the time when her parents scold her. She remembered the harsh words that made her afraid of touching the doorknob of their front door.

"No!" Lilith said to herself. "Today is different. It should be different."

Lilith conquered her fear and went outside their home

ACT 1 SCENE 2

(Establishing Shot)

EXT. Street – DAY

She walked in the street which is filled with fairies doing magical things. This is their job; to do acts that can help people. She missed this. She missed working for she had been caged for so long. She was happy for going outside but she noticed that everyone was now looking at her. She remembered how it was every time she step out of her house: All eyes were looking at her with disgust.

(Camera focuses on Lilith standing at the center of the street; camera is spinning 360 showing the backs of the fairies, emphasizing that they were looking at Lilith. MS)

(Murmurs can be heard in the scene)

A guy from the crowd

You piece of garbage! Did you go out to ruin our hard works again? A lot of people didn't have a chance to see the sunflowers in full bloom thanks to you!

Lilith

(Sad)

But I only wanted to help! I'm a fairy too! I want to bring smiles to people!

The guy from the crowd

You may have wings but you are not a fairy! You are a disgrace to our kind! You can never help anyone in need!

Lilith couldn't handle the pressure so she flew fast and far away. She wanted to be free from those shackling stares and be alone so she went to the place where no one even care to visit; the Library.

ACT 1 SCENE 3

(FADE IN)

INT. Library – DAY

(Camera Pans from Lilith to the ceiling)

The Library is enormous. There are a lot of books that the walls are being covered. The ceiling is so high but the books can almost reach it for there are way too many. Tables are lined in every corner but no one is occupying any.

Lilith walked from aisle to aisle while sobbing, and recalling the traumatizing incident which just happened to her. She is so frustrated so she punched a shelf in her right. A book fell off so she picked it up.

(CU shot of the book on the ground)

Lilith

(Whispers)

"The Dark Forest"

She then went to the nearest table and read the book. She found out that a lot of creatures who resides in the dark forest desperately needs help. She decided that this will be her chance to make amends of the things she did on the past. She will go to the dark forest to prove herself useful. She left the library and proceed on her journey.

(FADE OUT)
