Valkyrians
Darren Defreitas EXT. - CITY OF PALACETINIA - PARK – NIGHT Bizarre ominous music. We see people in red robes standing around in prayer. We hear running water in the background. We get a wide CAMERA shot of FATHER URION smiling with an accomplished grin and his arms stretched out emulating Jesus Christ himself. Behind him is a water fountain out of focus. FATHER URION, Gorgeous slightly androgynous man, LOOKS 30, stunning blue eyes, long swirly god like hair, very angelic, other worldly and kind. Is wearing the same red robe as everyone else. Leader of the church. Tall-ish. We get a shot of a portion of the water fountain. The water is discolored with a red hue. We see EMILIA looking onward horrified. EMILIA, 17 years old, very cute, brown hair, brown eyes, is wearing a white veil on her head. We finally see the water fountain. The way it’s designed is so that there is a long spike emerging from the top. On the top of the fountain we see a cow has been impaled using the long spike. The blood of the cow seeps from its body down the spike and into the water. IT’S GRUESOME! REJI and CHASER enter and they see the crowd of people. They don’t see the cow. CHASER, 17 years old, spiky brown hair, slim but slightly muscular and athletic, hot-headed, kind of a trouble maker. REJI, 17 years old, short black hair, stout beefy build, smart and friendly, the more level headed of the two, is CHASER’S childhood best friend. REJI: What the..? What are all of these people doing here at this time of night? CHASER: (serious) Look at the insignia, it’s the Church of LIFE EVERLASTING. REJI: Oh my gosh you’re right. 107
