The Mage quotes from W.I.T.C.H.

So, now it all begins.

Will

Ok, I am officially impressed!

But, what's with all the purple?

It's the Veil. Up close and personal.

Grandma!

You brought us here?

Nope. Not my mojo. Was minding my own business back at the Dragon, but when Kandrakar calls...

Irma

Wait, wait, wait! Kandrakar exists? I thought it was just a magical brand name.

Will

Looks like we weren't the only ones invited to the party.

The Queen of Meridian and her Honour Guard have arrived.

Its ok, Mage. To my friends, I'm always just Elyon.

Brave new world... means brave new stuff!

Caleb

Hey, Cornelia.

On behalf of the Council, welcome to Kandrakar. Althor at your service :[gestures to a blonde woman next to him] and my venerated colleague is...

Halinor! [walks up to her, embraces her and laughs] Years have been good to you.

And you are as full of life as ever, Yan Lin.

Come now! The fortress at the Heart of Infinity awaits.

Has the fortress met with your expected standards, young Guardians?

Will

Oh, we're in awe. Definitely in awe!

Wait until you see the aurameres.

Irma

Aura what?

The aurameres!

This is Luba, Keeper of the Auramere Globes, the source of all Guardian magic.

The aurameres transmit Kandrakar's mystic energy across the dimensions to the Heart, and to the Guardians.

Caleb

[To Cornelia] I wonder which one has your name on it. [She looks away, angrily] Right, whichever one is coldest.

Will

Oracle, we are honored to...

[passionately embracing the Oracle (another man to who Will thought was the Oracle)] My dear Oracle!

That's Tibor. Cute one is the Oracle.

Will

Er... right!

I remain your humble servant.

And yet, somewhat more affectionate than I recall. But I share your enthusiasm. We have all waited years for this day.

Isn't this exciting?!

Irma

Isn't WHAT exciting?! I mean, I'm sorry, when can someone tell us what is going on?

Now. Tibor, if you please.

Since time immemorial, it has been the Council's task to protect the Infinite Dimensions. But thirteen years ago, Prince Phobos came to power. The threat he posed was so grave, we were forced to quarantine Meridian from the other worlds, to prevent the spread of his evil. And so, the Veil was raised. But now, Phobos has been defeated and a new day is about to dawn!

Woah squared.

It is done. The Veil has been lowered. May the need for it never rise again

Will

[To Elyon] What are the Guardians of the Veil, if there's no Veil, to guard?

[To Yan Lin and The Mage] You would both be valuable additions to the Council.

I'm very flattered, Oracle, but also very retired.

I do accept this honour, but on Meridian, I am also tasked with keeping Phobos in his cage. The minion Miranda has already escaped.

Miranda escaped?! Why am I only hearing about this now?! Never mind, I have to go! I have to get her.

I sense disharmony on Meridian, but your powers, unchecked, my young Queen, presents an equal danger. We have much to meditate upon, before you can return to your kingdom.

Caleb

Your Highness, I will capture Miranda, no matter what it takes.

What it takes is teamwork.

Will

[shocked] Who? Us?! But I thought...

You are now the Guardians of the Infinite Dimensions!

Irma

Does that come with a raise?

Um, just one teensy-weensy glitch. When the Veil went poof, didn't all the portals poof with it?

The Veil's passing opens up the old ways of traversing dimensions. Mage?

Will, what I do with my Mage Ring, you will learn to do with the Heart.

And what they do with talismans, you may accomplish, simply as part of your birthright.

So, no new jewellery?

This, child, is a fold in space.

Next stop - Meridian!

Will

She captured Caleb, attacked us at a school dance! She even came after us in our dreams!

Cornelia

Such a nightmare!

We're pretty sure she's pulling the strings of the Knights, too.

Irma

But we don't have a clue who the old hag is! Uh, No offence, Mage.

None taken.

I drew this!

Her image is unfamiliar to the Council of Kandrakar.

If only my powers were at full strength. But I am unable to divine her identity or purpose. Though, I do sense something else troubles our Guardians.

Will

Well, there's that new lightning thing and I've started bringing electrical appliances to life.

Not to mention invisibility.

Cornelia

[Raises her hand] Telekinesis.

[Raises her hand] Mmmm, telepathy.

Irma

Y'know, normal teen stuff.

What you're experiencing is normal...for Guardians. You are progressing as expected.

And I am pleased you work so well together. Even in your dreams. Harmony is essential for the Heart of Kandrakar to be effective.

Oh, we're all about the harmony, Oracle.

In fact we're going to spend a whole week together.

Irma

Chilling at Cormoran Beach, thanks to my mom and dad.

Then by all means, enjoy your sojourn. You have earned it.

[leaping out of a car] Ohh...Finally air unpolluted by girl-breath.

Irma

I so wouldn't bring up breath, little brother...yours smelt steel.

Irma! Chris! I refuse to listen to you bicker for an entire week.

Then I hope you brought earplugs.

Caleb

I don't understand. Elyon's gone?!

Captured by a sorceress, hiding in our midst...Trill.

Caleb

You mean she was posing as Trill?

It seems there never was a Trill. People who've known her for years can't recall her history, family, or even where she lives.

Caleb

But she helped the rebellion!

She may have had her own reasons for toppling Phobos or her need to get close to our daughter, to the Queen. She took Elyon and her power. All of it!

Caleb

So we fetch some power players of our own, the Guardians.

No! Stop! Your tooth...did Trill touch it?

It is as I feared, Trill, uh, the sorceress, also touched my ring. She cursed our talismans. Whom so ever touches it to fold, will be destroyed.

Aargh! [He quickly rips the necklace off] Blunk too pretty to be destroyed!

Caleb

Wait! Then how do we get to Earth?

I will try to counteract the spell.

Will

So the hag has Elyon.

It's worse. That hag is Nerissa.

[shocked] No!

Impossible!

You are absolutely certain?

Irma

Okay, see I didn't bring my who's who from Kandrakar, so Nerissa is...?

As you know, you are not the first Guardians. Decades ago there were five others. Cassidy, Halinor, Yan Lin, Kadma... and Nerissa.

They were C.H.Y.K.N.? Wow, I'm so glad we're W.I.T.C.H.

[voiceover] [as the camera pans across W.I.T.C.H, the scene transitions to one showing the former Guardians] Nerissa led the Guardians as Keeper of the Heart of Kandrakar, as you do Will. But I sensed [Nerissa holds up the Heart and sees it glow through a shot of her eye] the power of the Heart was corrupting Nerissa. To save her soul, [The Heart is shown floating and given to Cassidy] I took the Heart from her and gave it to Cassidy. [Nerissa, shocked, walks away] But Nerissa became obsessed with her lost power. [Nerissa and Cassidy are atop Mount Thanos] After begging and pleading, she demanded Cassidy return the Heart. Cassidy refused.

[voiceover] [Nerissa runs across the cold of the mountain] Devastated, Nerissa fled. [An energy cell appears around Nerissa in a cave inside Mount Thanos] But I imprisoned her. [scene shows Yan Lin, The Oracle and Halinor standing outside her cell] Hoping that she would redeem herself [Nerissa lifts her head up] by facing her guilt. I fear [Nerissa's youthful face changes into the old Nerissa] I may have aired.

When Phobos' reign on Meridian forced us to raise the Veil, we could no longer watch over her.

She must have escaped, and gone into hiding.

On Meridian. Perhaps a portal opened on Mount Thanos, allowing her escape.

Nerissa is a greater threat now, than she was then. Every world has a source of mystic energy, like the Heart of Kandrakar. Elyon was the Heart of Meridian. With her power, Nerissa's might equals the five of yours...combined.

Irma

Right! Cause otherwise, way too easy.

Will

At least, she doesn't know we're on to her. If we head to Meridian now, we can still take her down.

Hmmm, a wise plan.
