Reaper of Souls
Page 32
Raven half falls through the open doorway, leans his back to the wall while gasping, and slides down the wall into a sitting position.

                                                                           RAVEN
                         I've decided I don't care for running.

Dylan continues to breath hard while holding his side.

                                                                           DYLAN
                         Join the club.

Koon stares at Raven with complete bewilderment.  Reggie smiles and takes a few steps closer to Koon.

                                                                           REGGIE
                         Raven and I were each granted one wish from your mother--as a wedding present.

Koon appears stunned and looks from Raven to Reggie.

                                                                           KOON
                         Wedding present?  You--and Raven?

Raven smiles wearily and gives a tiny wave.

                                                                           RAVEN
                         My wish was for my powers to temporarily go to Reggie--for her own protection.

                                                                           REGGIE
                         And my wish was for all of the people you'd enslaved to be returned to their mortal lives.

                                                                           KOON
                                                                           (stunned)
                         No, that's not possible. 
                                                                           (to Raven)
                         If you marry, you can't be a Light Force. 

                                                                           RAVEN
                                                                           (stands)
                         I've been chosen already.  My Light Force status takes effect after Reggie's tour of life ends. 

                                                                           KOON
                         Mother would never interfere.  This isn't over!

We see the female light enter the hallway.  Belamy and Chrissy move together and watch the light.  Koon appears surprised.

                                                                           KOON
                         Mother?  Mother, what's the meaning of this?  How could you interfere?

                                                                           LEOLA
                         I'm sorry, Koon.  You abused your power.  All the mortals you enslaved will be
                         returned to their world as they were.  And I'm afraid your behavior calls for severe
                         punishment.  The council as agreed to strip your powers starting now.  You will
                         live your life as a mortal among mortals.  I hope you will learn from your mistakes.

Leola waves her hand.  We see vapors flood from Koon.  He suddenly grabs onto the banister for support and looks to his mother.

                                                                           KOON
                         This isn't fair!

                                                                           LEOLA
                         You know it is.

Leola suddenly vanishes.  Raven smiles and approaches Reggie and Dylan.  Dylan eyes Reggie and Raven.

                                                                           DYLAN
                         Can we go home now?

                                                                           RAVEN
                         Yes, I'd like to see our mortal home.

Chrissy and Belamy approach them.  Chrissy hugs Reggie, who returns the hug.

                                                                           CHRISSY
                         I can't thank you enough for setting us free.

                                                                           BELAMY
                         From both of us.

                                                                           REGGIE
                         Be happy.

Reggie turns to Dylan and Raven and smiles.

                                                                           REGGIE
                         This should be an interesting trip.
