1 EXT. SKIES OVER GLIPWOOD FOREST - DAY 1
A SWIRLING MASS OF CROWS wheels thickly round us, their

CAWING a CACOPHONY.
We push through this avian storm -- perhaps noticing that

some of the birds bear small, leather satchels draped round
their necks. We TILT DOWNWARDS to see the town of Glipwood
far below. We DIVE toward it, seeming to AIM for an OPEN
WINDOW of the FANG BARRACKS.
2 INT. GLIPWOOD - FANG BARRACKS - GNORM’S OFFICE - CONTINUOUS 2
Gnorm GRUMBLES, leafing through piles of documents even as he

absently dips claws into a bowl of soggy maggot-loaf and
brings it sloppily to his maw.
A crow lights suddenly on the windowsill beside Gnorm. Then

another -- and a third. The first one -- bearing a satchel --
CAWS twice, and the others ECHO.
31 GNORM 31
Eh? Orders from above, is it?
Gnorm snatches the first crow, and roughly pins it to the

desk with his palm. He claws open the satchel and pulls a
small parchment from it.
32 GNORM 32
“Prepare to march.” Hmmm.
The pinned crow gives a CHOKED CAW, panicked.

33 GNORM 33
Eh?
(looks at crow)
Off with you, then.
He flings the crow out the window. The other crows CAW
angrily, then flutter off.
34 GNORM 34
We’ll be ready.
3 EXT. IGIBY COTTAGE - DAY - RAIN 3
The doors are shut, curtains drawn. Over the pouring rain,
we HEAR the sound of LEELI practicing whistleharp scales.
1 TINK (O.S.) 1
Nobody else in Glipwood does THAGS--

Revisions 8/8/22 2.
INT. IGIBY COTTAGE - LIVING ROOM - DAY - RAIN
LEELI marches in circles as she plays her instrument. JANNER

is upside-down on an upholstered chair, his knees crooked
over the backrest as he scribbles on a pad. TINK is at the
table, a sketchbook in front of him. He’s leaned back
precariously, balancing his chair on two legs.
2 TINK 2
...Why do we have to?
NIA peers nervously through the front window.

3 NIA 3
You don’t have to, you get to.
4 TINK 4
Alright. Why do we get to?
Nia turns her attention to folding laundry.

5 NIA 5
Because Esben would have wanted you
to. Your father isn’t here, but
that doesn’t mean you’re not his
children. You’re Igibys and Igibys
learn their THAGS.
6 JANNER 6
What’s so special about being an
Igiby?
7 TINK 7
Yeah, it doesn’t feel special being
locked up inside for the last two
weeks.
8 NIA 8
Kalmar Igiby, if you don’t want to
study the Three Honored and Great
Subjects then you can help me fold
laundry instead.
Tink hops back into it, immediately sketching feverishly.

9 TINK 9
I didn’t say I didn’t want to do
THAGS. I just asked why we have to.
10 NIA 10
Mm-hmm.
Leeli’s scales transform into a semblance of Yurgen’s Tune.

It draws the boys’ attention, transfixed.

Revisions 8/8/22 3.
SHADOWS & DUST MOTES swirl round her, vaguely suggesting the
shape of a DRAGON. She struggles with the complex notes,
until -- she falters. The spell breaks. The boys turn back
to their work. Nia and Podo give each other worried looks.
11 JANNER 11
How do you spell ho... ho-loré?
Beat. Nia’s eyes widen. She tries to keep her voice even.
12 NIA 12
Where did you hear that word?
13 LEELI 13
It was in the song I sang with the
dragons.
14 TINK 14
But those weren’t even real words.
You were just making them up.
15 JANNER 15
-- And I heard the dragons speak
it.
16 TINK 16
But dragons don’t sing real
words!?! Right, Grampa?
PODO shares a look with Nia, reticent --

17 PODO 17
I never yet met one that did.
18 TINK 18
Boy could it ROAR though! I bet
that roar could blow all the fangs
right back to Dang! Wait, do
dragons eat Fangs?
Podo, uncomfortable, pushes back from the table.

19 PODO 19
Dragons plague the sea. Fangs
plague the land. Neither troubles
the other. Now no more talk of
dragons. Understand?
The Igiby kids nod in unison.

20 PODO 20
Alright, then. I’ll be outside
making the rounds.

Revisions 8/8/22 4.
As Podo ducks out he grabs his hat. Leeli’s whistleharp

carries us into --
4 A MONTAGE SEQUENCE 4
-- Establishing exterior of Igiby house. It’s raining.
-- Janner, Tink, and Leeli chase each other around the room.
Nugget dashing in circles BARKING furiously. Leeli turns to
Nugget -- acting like a zombie. Nugget runs away scared. As
they chase - Podo fixing a leak on the ceiling. They bump
into the ladder throwing Podo off balance - He grumbles.
21 JANNER 21
Fang attaaaack!
Leeli SQUEALS. Tink grabs a pillow, turns, and smacks Janner

upside the head with it. Downy feathers EXPLODE everywhere...
-- Podo perches on a ladder re-chinking the interior logs.

22 TINK (O.S.) 22
Toothy cow stampede!
Leeli, Tink, and JANNER RUSH past, throwing Podo off balance.
He catches himself at the last second, but drops the bucket
of chinking mud onto his head. SPLAT! He GROWLS after the
children. The bucket is stuck.
Tink, wearing an improvised dragon costume, Janner in an

improvised pirate costume, and Leeli SPRINTS into the room
while -- SITTING ON A STOOL, Podo carves a scrimshaw scene.
He slips as the kids runs by. Nugget grabs the scene and
plays keep away.
AS THE ACTION BUILDS TO A CRESCENDO -- WHAMM!! Podo’s fist

SLAMS onto the kitchen table.
23 PODO 23
ENOUGH!
His voice THUNDERS. Everyone freezes (even Nugget with a bit

of costume in his mouth).
24 PODO 24
It’s been two weeks. They need to
get out of the house.
25 NIA 25
It’s not safe--

Revisions 8/8/22 5.
26 PODO 26
Agh. No Fang has so much as shown
their face this side of the bridge.
Podo stands and walks to Nia.

27 PODO 27
We’ve hid long enough. In fact,
it’s time we got back to normal.
I’m going into town tomorrow and
I’m taking the children with me.
28 NIA 28
But Papa--
29 PODO 29
Just for a game ‘a zibzy. It’s far
enough outside of town that no
one’ll trouble ‘em.
Podo looks at Nia with huge eye. Please. Nia eyes the spilled
food, and the chaos of kids strewn round the house, and
relents with a nod.
Janner, Leeli, and Tink CHEER. CAMERA dollies away from

house, CRASH. BOOM. Janner, Tink, and Leeli resume
shenanigans.

41 GNORM 41
Aright! Shut yer gobs!
Gnorm moves down the line, spot-checking the Fangs.

42 GNORM 42
Pitiful lot, you are...
He looks back down the line, disappointed --

43 GNORM 43
You call yourself Fangs?!
44 SOLDIERS 44
FANGS FROM DANG!!
Gnorm SNAPS around, SNARLING --

45 GNORM 45
I said SHUT YER GOBS! You’re not
Fangs! Fangs are fearsome.
Loathsome. You are...
(eyeing them all)
...not. I might even have to move
up your re-Fangings...
Down the line, Vop grins, speaks up --

46 VOP 46
Might need to make it two re-
Fanging’s for ol’ Slarb.
They laugh, as -- AT THE END of the line, Gnorm clocks Slarb.

47 GNORM 47
Ahhh yes. Ssslarb. Bumbling about.
Making little messes. Humiliated by
the Igiby-piglets and their mutt...
He draws even with Slarb. Squints, taking him in.

48 SLARB 48
Those runts never thrashed me! A
rock conked my skullbone from
above. Probly that Florid Sword!
The other Fangs HOOT with LAUGHTER.

49 GNORM 49
Come all the way from Dugtown just
to conk your noggin, did he? Ha!

Revisions 8/8/22 7.
GNORM (CONT’D)
Well, speaking of faraway places,
we just got orders to be ready to
march, and marchin’ usually ends in
fightin’, and fightin’ is what gets
a Fang promoted!
If we impress General Khrak, our
next assignment might just be in
Torrboro -- and that town is
swimming in maggotloaf!
50 All the fang soldiers cheer for Maggotloaf and Khrak. 50
51 GNORM 51
I said SHUT YER GOBS! Go prepare
your gear. Sharpen your spears. And
kiss your ugly mamas goodbye.
The Fangs GUFFAW. All except Slarb.

52 SLARB 52
What’s so funny?
53 BRAK 53
Fangs ain’t got no mamas!
Slarb bares his dripping fangs at Vop and HISSES.

55 GNORM 55
I said DISMISSED!
The soldiers relax posture and head into the barracks. Gnorm
stretches out a clawed hand and stops Slarb.
56 GNORM 56
Not you. You’re being reassigned.
(he hands Slarb a scroll)
The Black Carriage rolls into
Glipwood tonight. I’m putting you
on Carriage duty.
Slarb is clearly not pleased. Gnorm turns and lumbers off.
Ferinia--half in shadow--quietly observes from the nearby

window of the flower shop. She quickly closes her shutters.
Slarb stares hard after Gnorm. OFF his angry HISS, we...

6 EXT. ZIBZY FIELD - DAY 6
A wide field on the edge of Glipwood Forest. A small cluster

of GAMBLOATS chew the grass, ignoring the group of CHILDREN
gathered on the field.
Podo pulls the wagon to a stop and the kids climb down. Leeli
balances on a temporary crutch.
57 PODO 57
Janner, keep an eye out. And stay
clear of the Forest.
58 JANNER 58
Yes sir.
With a SNAP of the reins, the wagon moves off, Podo vanishing
over the rise. Janner turns to the field, where --
59 BUNCE 59
Come on! Let’s play!
60 RAND 60
But we can’t start without her if
she’s a team captain...
61 BUNCE 61
Sure we can. I’ll pick who I want,
and she can have the leftovers.
He grins. REVEAL: SARA COBBLER, scattering the herd of

GAMBLOATS.
62 SARA 62
You weren’t gonna start picking
teams without me, were you, Bunce?
She TOSSES an oblong leathery ZIBZY BALL at Bunce, the impact

sends him staggering back. He groans, hefts it --
63 BUNCE 63
Whoa. You made this?
64 SARA 64
Yeah. It took me two weeks to get
it perfectly stuffed.
The Igiby kids walk up. Bunce tosses the ball to Janner.
65 JANNER 65
Wow. This is amazing, Sara!

Revisions 8/8/22 9.
66 SARA 66
(perkily)
Thanks, Janner!
67 JANNER 67
(awkwardly enthusiastic)
No, thank you!
Tink raises his eyebrows, stares hard at Janner.

68 JANNER 68
(sotto Tink)
Be quiet.
69 TINK 69
I didn’t say anything.
70 BUNCE 70
So how long a match are we playing?
Three game-blocks?
71 SARA 71
Make it ten! And losers have to eat
a bowl of boggle-worms.
72 JEBB 72
(worried)
The kind that glow?
73 SARA 73
(staring Bunce down)
Yeah. The kind that glow.
74 BUNCE 74
(disgusted, and impressed)
Ten it is.
He spits in his hand. Sara pats him on the shoulder, as the

kids start lining up in front of the two captains --
75 BUNCE 75
First pick. I got Tink.
Tink does a fist pump, joining Bunce. Sara eyes the rest of
the gathering. Smiles.
76 SARA 76
I want Leeli.
77 BUNCE 77
Ha! Good luck. We get Janner.
As Janner joins Tink and Bunce, Leeli whispers to Sara --

Revisions 8/8/22 10.
78 LEELI 78
Sara, you know I’m not that good at
zibzy. I’ve mostly just sat on the
side-lines and watched it all my
life.
79 SARA 79
(aside)
That’s exactly why I picked you.
You know every rule in this crazy
game, and that’s going to help us
win.
As Leeli considers her own value in a new light, we CUT TO
MOMENTS LATER
The players are arrayed across the field. 4-on-4. Rand, Leeli
and Jondy are on one side. Bunce stands near his own goal
with the ball and Jebb and Tink on either side. Janner and
Sara square off across a center line, trash-talking --
80 SARA 80
You ready to be scally-walloped?
I’ve never lost as Captain.
81 JANNER 81
You’ve never been captain.
82 SARA 82
Like I said.
Sara grins, a playful rivalry between them.

83 BUNCE 83
Alright. Let’s do this. Winger,
Winger, Tom-Dinger!
Bunce heaves the ball backwards, over his head. It arcs into
the middle of the field and lands with a WHUMP!
84 ALL PLAYERS 84
(shouting)
Mushmeal cakes and Hogpig bacon!
Run to the trough, it’s here for
takin’!
All players rush toward the ball, some colliding like

billiards. Sara shoulders Janner off-balance, and SCOOPS up
the ball with a WHACKER, passing it down field. AS THE GAME
PLAY UNFOLDS, we --

7 EXT. FERINIA’S FLOWER SHOP - DAY (LATER) 7
The storefront overflows with colorful FLOWERS, two fangs

pass by, disgusted. Podo pulls up with Danny. Podo ties the
horse up and heads to the back of the shop, while --
WE MOVE IN ON THE FENCEPOST, a DISTINCTIVE LOGO carved into

it -- A SIMPLE SNOWFLAKE WITH A DIAMOND SHAPE AT THE TOP.
INT. FERINIA’S FLOWER SHOP - DAY
Podo enters, seeing an OLD MAN with FERINIA. As the man

turns to leave, he clocks Podo. Tension hanging in the air
between them. This is BUZZARD WILLIE (60s).
85 PODO 85
Willie...
86 BUZZARD WILLIE 86
Podo...
Willie moves past Podo, exiting.

87 FERINIA 87
You know, at some point, Podo,
you’re going to have to let old
Buzzard Willie off the hook.
88 PODO 88
It’s not me. It’s him!
89 FERINIA 89
And it was almost fifty years ago.
Let bygones be bygones.
90 PODO 90
I’m an old man, Ferinia. All I got
are me bygones.
91 FERINIA 91
Ain’t that the truth. What can I
get you, Podo?
Podo clears his throat. Lowers his voice --

92 PODO 92
I’ll take the ‘Torrboro Special.’
Whatever this means, Ferinia knows. She nods to Podo, scans

the street outside the window, pulls out a weathered journal
and opens it on the counter. We catch a glimpse of
HANDWRITTEN NOTES, and MAP-LIKE DRAWINGS.

93 FERINIA 93
You looking for bad news, or worse,
Podo...?
OFF his RAISED EYEBROWS we...
CUT TO:
Nugget barks along the sidelines. WHAMM!! Sara swings her

WHACKER -- SMASHING the BALL across the field, even as Tink
spins 360 degrees with a broom--
94 TINK 94
Dragon striiiike!
--and heaves it high into the air. The broom catches the
zibzy ball in mid-flight and knocks it off course.
95 JANNER 95
Good knockablock, Tink! Two points!
Mid-field players scurry to avoid the falling broom, but one

boy, JEBB, isn’t quick enough. The broom tags the back of his
leg and he tumbles.
96 JEBB 96
I got bomnubbled! I’m froze!
Jebb freezes comically in place, even as Leeli makes a

stumbling dive to DEFLECT the plummeting zibzy ball behind
Janner’s back with her crutch, setting up a charging Sara who
CRUSHES it with a home-run swing from her whacker.
Despite Bunce’s attempts to ‘sweep’ it from the air with his

BROOM -- the ball THWOMPS into the middle of three hay bales
stood on end. A GAMBLOAT casually munches the right bale.
97 LEELI 97
Middlest Wumbly-Tick!! 3 points!
98 SARA 98
Hey, nice pass, Leeli!
(to Janner)
Working up an appetite for those
boggle-worms, Janner?
Janner shakes his head, competitive, as --

99 BUNCE 99
Storm Stop! Circle up, team!

Bunce takes a knee, drawing up a play.

100 BUNCE 100
Tink, you’re the best banger. Stay
in goal this time and bounce their
slingers. I’ll bolt hard like I’m
whooshing their screechers. When
they mook their whackers, I’ll jake
those beans cross-field to Janner
who’ll already have skiddered round
their hounders.
(to Janner)
You’ll only have Sara to beat.
101 TINK 101
Janner gets woozy around Sara! Come
on, Bunce. Give me the shot!
102 JANNER 102
I do not get woozy!
103 BUNCE 103
Janner will make the shot.
104 JEBB 104
(yelling from midfield)
Hey guys, am I still frozen?
9 INT. FERINIA’S FLOWER SHOP - DAY 9
CLOSE ON: Ferinia’s JOURNAL. We can make out a handscrawled

heading: WINTER TROOP MOVEMENTS IN GLIPWOOD.
105 PODO 105
So you think something’s brewing
with the Fangs?
106 FERINIA 106
Seems to be. Heard your grandkids
got into a tussle during the
festival?
107 PODO 107
Maybe a lil’ scuffle, but they got
clear.
108 FERINIA 108
You should know that Gnorm’s got
your family marked for protection,
thanks to Nia’s tasty maggot-loaf.
109 PODO 109
Aye, my Nia, she’s a clever girl.

110 FERINIA 110

Oh, and that wily Fang...
A BELL CLANGS as the shop door opens. Ferninia deftly slips

the journal into her apron as MRS. DIRGLE (40’s) attired in
the patched-over remnants of what was once a fine dress
enters the shop, giving only the barest acknowledgement to
Podo and Ferinia.
111 FERINIA 111
Those Crimson Climber starts are in
the back corner, Missus Dirgle.
Mrs Dirgle nods and moves toward the back of the shop.
112 PODO 112
Fine weather today, aye ma’am?
Podo and Ferninia both lean in over the counter.

113 FERINIA 113
(hushed, conspiratorial)
That Fang Slarb, who messed with
your grans? Gnorm gave him a dust-
up and put him on Black Carriage
duty.
114 PODO 114
Aye. That’ll keep him away to Fort
Lamendron then.
115 FERINIA 115
(nods)
For a bit anyways.
(suddenly cheery)
You ready to buy those now Missus
Dirgle?
Off Podo’s RELIEVED BROW we CUT TO --
Tink lines up on the side, and -- throws the ball over to

Bunce, who catches it on his whacker, balancing the ball,
charging downfield, feinting shots so that Sara’s team fling
their brooms with CRIES of
116 SCREENERS 116
Dragon striiike!!!
Bunce pivots mid-rush and flings a line drive cross-field

toward Janner. But it never makes it.

Tink, mounted on the back of a stampeding GAMBLOAT, charges

upfield, intercepting Bunce’s pass on his whacker. Players
dive out of the way of the beast’s hooves.
117 SARA 117
Hey, this isn’t saddle zibzy!
118 TINK 118
You never called it! Too late now!
119 LEELI 119
(to Sara)
He’s kind of right.
Jebb, still comically frozen, hesitates as the gambloat

barrels toward him. At the last moment he dives for safety.
TWONK! Tink slams a shot toward goal. The ball ROCKETS into
and right through the goal in an explosion of hay.
120 TINK 120
Whahoo! Mash-plonker, three points!
We win the first game-block!
Ebullient, Tink wheels round to his team. But they’re all

wearing looks of disappointment because... the ball is
bouncing off into the forest.
121 LEELI 121
Jebb can’t unfreeze yet. That was a
rule-break.
122 JEBB 122
I was about to be trampled to death
by a gambloat!
123 SARA 123
Good point, Leeli. Jebb broke his
freeze. That’s four points for us.
We win the first game block!
124 TINK 124
What?
125 BUNCE 125
Great job, Tink. You lost the game-
block and Sara’s new ball.
ON JANNER, realizing he could be Sara’s hero. As everyone

starts to disperse, Janner steps up --
126 JANNER 126
I’ll get it.

127 LEELI 127

(sotto)
Janner. No. The woods are
dangerous.
128 JANNER 128
This is different. I’m doing it to
help someone.
Before anyone can stop him -- he’s at the forest’s edge. He

peers into the ominous gloom.
Janner glances to Sara, who looks worried, but gives him a

reassuring nod Then, he takes a deep breath, and steps INTO -
-
11 EXT. GLIPWOOD FOREST - DAY 11
It’s dark and shadowy. But as his eyes adjust, Janner begins
to see the forest as it really is. A rich, green world.
Cautious, he slows. QUIET settling around him, until --
WHAAAAAH!! An angry CHITTERING ERUPTS. Janner SPINS,

registering a TAIL-HANDED THWAP on his back. It slaps at him
multiple times before jumping down towards a bush.
Janner slowly realizing -- he’s standing between the creature

and his dinner (a THORNBERRY BUSH). As Janner steps back --
WHOOSH!! A THWAPPERFLY FLITS round Janner’s head --

threatening him, forcing him to duck before it lights on a
DIGTOAD NEST, where it feasts on LARVA.
Janner spins, gathering himself. He looks back to the

forest’s edge, WHERE: SARA, TINK, LEELI and the rest of the
children watch with bated breath, eyes wide.
Janner feigns courage, waving. Then crawls over a boulder.
As he moves deeper into the forest, his eyes scan the dirt,
searching for the lost ZIBZY BALL. Finally, he spots it.
Janner kneels down, cautiously reaching out, grabbing the

ball, when -- SUDDENLY: A SHADOW WASHES over him.
Janner glares up, momentarily blinded by the sun. Barely

able to make out the silhouette of a MAN. Tall, lengthy.
As his eyes continue to adjust, Janner sees the SOCKS on the

man’s hands. Looking up into the face of PEET THE SOCK MAN.
Janner steps back, momentarily thrown.

Peet deftly scoops the ball up with his foot, catches it.
129 PEET 129
Youngiby Iggyfeather!
130 JANNER 130
Peet? What are you doing here?
131 PEET 131
Where?
(whirls round)
Oh. Here?
(points to self)
Me?
The THWAPPERFLY flits round again, then dives angrily at

Janner. Janner gives a CRY as he ducks and shields his head
with his arms. Pete instinctively flings the zibzy ball at
the thwapperfly, knocking it from the air.
FROM THE TREELINE, Leeli beams, calling out --

132 LEELI 132
Hi, Mr. The Sock Man!
Peet bows to the ground, catching the falling ball on his

shoulders. Leeli laughs. The others imitate Peet, making
fun of his sock hands. A stern look from Sara silences them.
137 PODO (O.S.) 137
IGIBY’S!!
REVEAL: PODO, pulling the cart to a stop nearby. He glares

at Peet. Janner senses something in the gaze -- a
familiarity -- but also tension and anger.
Janner looks at Peet, who is clearly afraid.

138 PODO 138
Come along home, now. Your
mother’ll be worried.
Leeli starts toward the wagon. As Janner passes Sara --

139 SARA 139
Sock Man or not, my team is still a
point ahead.
140 JANNER 140
You were... a point ahead. That
wumbly-tick puts us ahead so we win
the second game block.

141 SARA 141

(playful anger)
Oh, you just wait till next game,
Janner Igiby! This match goes on
for eight more blocks!
Janner grins, turns to say goodbye to Peet, but -- the Sock

Man has vanished. As Janner climbs in to the wagon --
142 PODO 142

TINK! LET’S GO, LAD!
Tink wraps up a conversation with Bunce and Rand --

142A TINK 142A
-- Luckily we were standing in a
Glipfruit tree. I shot one of those
suckers as far as the forest edge
and the cow chased it the whole
way. Bye guys!
142B RAND 142B
Whhooaa! You know, toothy Cows
don’t seem so bad. Glipfruit are
delicious.
142C JEBB 142C
I heard Mr. Sockman rode one.
142D RAND 142D
No way. Do you think we could ride
one?
Double-timing it up into the moving wagon, as -- Podo drives

it down the road.
Janner looks back to the forest, SEEING: PEET, watching them

go, a deep sadness behind his eyes.
13 INT. IGIBY COTTAGE - KITCHEN - LATE AFTERNOON 13
Podo enters, mopping his brow carrying a bouquet of flowers.

He takes his place at the table, reaching for food. But
before he can fill his plate -- he stops, sensing Nia’s eyes
on him. He looks up.
145 NIA 145
I see you got the ‘Torrboro
Special’ at Ferinia’s again.

146 PODO 146

Did more’n that, I did. I also
found out that troublesome Fang was
reassigned to carriage duty, so he
shouldn’t be a problem around
Glipwood for awhile.
147 NIA 147
We can relax..?
148 PODO 148
Aye. No more of this lyin’ low an’
creepin’ about.
Sensing an opportunity, Janner jumps in --

149 JANNER 149
So I can go in to help Mr. Reteep
tomorrow? It’s Fourthday. He’ll
want me to unload the new shipment
of books!
150 NIA 150
(deliberating)
Alright. But stay clear of any
Fangs.
151 JANNER 151
I will! Thank you!
152 NIA 152
And take Tink with you.
153 JANNER 153
Mo-om! I’m going there to work. I
can’t watch him the whole time.
154 NIA 154
And Leeli --
155 PODO 155
Leeli and I have some business of
our own to attend to.
Leeli looks up at Podo, beaming. Nia smiles. A compromise.

156 NIA 156
Well, then. That settles it.
OFF Janner, ambivalent --
CUT TO:

14 EXT. CITY - ALLEY - NIGHT 14
The waxing MOON ILLUMINATES a CITY SKYLINE of ragged spires.

Tall buildings, labyrinthine alleyways, dark corners lit by
grimy torchlight. Clearly, we’re not in Glipwood anymore.
A WAGON, its bed covered and DRIVER hooded, RATTLES to a stop

next to a DOOR with a DISTINCT MARKING: the same SIMPLE
SNOWFLAKE WITH A DIAMOND SHAPE AT THE TOP we saw at Ferinia’s
Flower Shop.
From the shadows, a HOODED MAN emerges.

157 HOODED MAN 157
Another shipment?
The Driver pulls a LEVER, and -- CLUNK!! The WAGON’S FLOOR

SLIDES OPEN and WE SEE: A SECRET CARGO HOLD.
The Hooded Man grins and pulls out a tray from the back of
the cart. Fingers to his lips, whistling low.
ON CUE, SEVERAL OTHER MEN emerge from the shadows, each

carrying long BUNDLES. The bundles CLUNK as they drop into
the wagon’s secret hold.
One of the men STUMBLES, and -- RECOVERS, but not before a

SWORD slides out from beneath the bundle, falling, and -- is
CAUGHT at the last second by -- the HOODED MAN.
158 HOODED MAN 158
Careful, brother. Those aren’t
flowers you’re loading...
As the MEN finish loading their cargo -- the Hooded Man

inspects the blade’s balance, before giving it a few well-
practiced flourishes. As he finishes --
159 HOODED MAN 159
They’re going to the Manor, yes?
160 DRIVER 160
Indibnibly--
His voice sounds EXACTLY like Oskar. The Driver COUGHS,

LOWERING his voice, assuming a MYSTERIOUS TONE --
161 DRIVER 161
Um. Yes. The Manor.
162 HOODED MAN 162
A place no sane person would want
to visit. Perfect.

The Hooded Man smiles in the darkness, bringing the sword

SLICING down, and -- VANISHING it into the hidden cargo hold.
163 HOODED MAN 163
Travel well, old friend.
The Driver nods, disappearing into the darkness...
CUT TO:
15 EXT. GLIPWOOD - VIBBLEY WAY - DAY 15
Janner and Tink walk into town, heading toward Books &
Crannies, when -- they notice JOE SHOOSTER.
JOE
163a Hello boys! 163a
Joe tosses Tink a Glipfruit.
TINK
163b Thanks, Mr. Shooster! 163b
Janner and Tink head toward the shop.

167 TINK 167
Heh. Zouzab’ll love this.
16 INT. BOOKS & CRANNIES - DAY 16
As the door shuts behind them, Janner and Tink scan the dimly
lit store. Searching for any sign of Oskar or Zouzab.
172 JANNER 172
Hello? Mr. Reteep?
(beat)
Zouzab?
But there’s no answer.
Tink considers, then -- tosses a piece of fruit into the air.
As it begins its descent -- WHOOSH!! a shadow FLITS across

the ceiling, and -- makes a DIVING CATCH.
173 TINK 173
ZOUZAB!
REVEAL: ZOUZAB, emerging from the shadow, already munching on

the fruit. He smiles --

174 ZOUZAB 174

You summoned, young Master Igiby?
175 JANNER 175
Is Mr. Reteep around?
176 ZOUZAB 176
Young Janner. Yes. He’s out back.
As Janner walks toward the back, we hear the distant sound of

Oskar working on the LOADING DOCK.
17 EXT. BOOKS & CRANNIES - ALLEY - DAY 17
FIND: OSKAR, struggling to unload a crate of books from a

suspiciously-familiar WAGON. He wobbles, falling back to one
side, when -- Janner appears from out of nowhere.
176A JANNER 176A
Mr. Reteep?
181 JANNER 181
Here, Mr. Reteep. Let me help.
182 OSKAR 182
Ah, Janner! A most timely arrival.
They set the crate to the ground. Oskar beams, the large man
wiping perspiration from his brow.
183 JANNER 183
I knew a shipment was due today.
184 OSKAR 184
Clever boy. Ever so observant! Why
don’t you unload these crates, and
I’ll sort them.
Oskar sits, pulls out his PIPE, and LIGHTS it.

192 JANNER 192
(wondering aloud)
Mr. Reteep, where do you get all
these books?
193 OSKAR 193
From all over Skree. And beyond.
(explaining)
After the great war, many of the
folk from across the Dark Sea came
here. As they’ve passed through,
I’ve collected and preserved
everything I could.
(MORE)

OSKAR (CONT’D)
As the great librarian Gheeta
Puttlestuphf once said, ‘Behind
every epic victory and crushing
defeat is a librarian who told you
which aisle it’s in.
194 JANNER 194
I wish I could go on adventures,
searching for books. The furthest
I’ve ever been is to the field
beyond Buzzard Willie’s garden.
And that was for a picnic.
Oskar looks at the boy, recognizing the internal struggle

Janner is going through.
195 OSKAR 195
If there’s one thing I learned in
all my travels, lad, it’s that some
the best journeys happen at home.
Janner isn’t following.

196 OSKAR 196
Picture it. A warm fire, tucked
away with a good book.
(beat)
What I’m trying to say is that for
as much as you want to see the
wider world, don’t forget the glow
of home. Don’t forget this place.
One day I’m going to need help
running it you know.
Janner flushes, honored by the inference that Oskar views him

as worthy of someday managing the bookstore.
197 JANNER 197
Heh, that’s still a long way away.
198 OSKAR 198
Here, I’ll help you with the next
crate.
Together, they unload the final crate. And as they set it

down, Janner sees a LEATHER BOUND JOURNAL: Annals of Anniera.
199 JANNER 199
Anniera...
Oskar, flustered, swoops in, swiping the journal --

200 OSKAR 200

Oh... that. That’s nothing. Why
don’t I finish up here and I’ll
meet you at the front. Run along.
Janner, confused by Oskar’s reaction, but grateful to be

finished with work, shrugs, ducking inside.
CUT TO:
19 EXT. BUZZARD WILLIE’S FARM - DAY 19
A sprawling farm on the edge of town, skirted by thick

hedgerows. Shielded from view of the MAIN HOUSE -- WE TRACK
WITH, Podo and Leeli, as they creep around the garden. Podo
carries a lumpy SACK over one shoulder.
Nugget trails them, eyes never leaving the bag. It seems to

SQUIRM and WRIGGLE. Nugget whines...
201 PODO 201
Quiet, boy.
202 LEELI 202
Grampa, what are we doing?
203 PODO 203
Dumping these scallawags where they
can’t steal our totatoes anymore!
Podo and Leeli peek over the wall of Buzzard Willie’s garden.
204 LEELI 204
But why Buzzard Willie’s farm?
205 PODO 205
Cuz he’ll think it’s funny!
Here, give me a hand --
Podo climbs through a crack in the wall, but Leeli hesitates,

suspicious --
206 LEELI 206
He’ll think it’s funny when thwaps
steal his totatoes?
Leeli, knows there’s more. She can sense it.
Podo looks at his granddaughter. So innocent. He can’t lie

to her.

208 PODO 208

Fifty years ago Willie and I were
best friends, but both sweet on the
same gal. Willie swooped in and
stole Merna Bidgeholler’s
(Swapelton’s) heart afore I could
woo her.
209 LEELI 209
And you’re still mad about it?
210 PODO 210
Mad? Naw, I don’t reckon I’m still
mad. We just kinda got in the habit
of payin’ each other back, prank
upon prank. And after awhile--aw, I
know it sounds strange, but...
211 LEELI 211
...After awhile you were having so
much fun pulling pranks on each
other that you almost started to
feel like friends again?
Podo weighs Leeli’s wise words for a misty, unguarded beat --

then abruptly checks his emotion and goes GRUFF again.
212 PODO 212
I never said that!
Leeli ponders this. Then, a big smile washes over her face.
213 LEELI 213
No one steals my Grampa’s girl and
gets away with it.
Podo’s beams. Seeing a little bit of himself in her. Leeli

grabs the bag of thwaps, and unties it with ease --
Leeli hands the bag back to Podo and releases the THWAPS, who
SCURRY off into the garden with glee.
Buzzard Willie steps out onto his front porch looking over
his garden. Two Thwaps scurry about with totatoes in hand.
214 BUZZARD WILLIE 214
Hey!
Podo and Leeli are already outside of the garden sneaking

away.
CUT TO:

20 INT. BOOKS & CRANNIES - DAY 20
CLOSE ON: A BOOK SPINE -- “A Brief History of Aerwiar” -- as

Janner pulls it from the stack, just as --
OVERHEAD, Tink RACES Zouzab through the stacks. Rounding a

corner, he loses control, and -- CRASHES into a pile of books
on the floor. ZOUZAB keeps running.
Janner rushes over to Tink, digging him out.

215 JANNER 215
Tink! You okay?
216 TINK 216
I’m fine. Me and Zouzab... That’s
weird.
217 JANNER 217
What is it?
Tink doesn’t answer. He’s staring at the trimwork along the

bottom bookcase.
Janner crouches to see. A section of trimwork sticks out a

tad further from the rest. Tink reaches out, feeling along
the bottom of the book case, and --
PLUNK. Suddenly, it falls OPEN. INSIDE: A SHEAF OF

PARCHMENT.
Tink and Janner look at one another. What have they

uncovered? Tink draws it out, unfurling it to REVEAL --
A MAP, lines charting landmarks and roads.
Janner notices a SYMBOL stamped in the center -- the now-

familiar SNOWFLAKE WITH DIAMOND.
218 JANNER 218
A map. But to what?
219 TINK 219
Treasure probably! Or a secret
hideout for Fang fighters!
220 JANNER 220
Put it back, Tink. It’s not ours.
And if it is Fang fighters--
Before he can finish his thought, a VOICE from behind them --

221 ZOUZAB 221
If what is Fang fighters?

Janner SPINS, SEEING: ZOUZAB at the end of the row of books.

From that POV, Zouzab can’t see Tink on the ground -- or
register anything that Tink may or may not be doing.
222 JANNER 222
I... uh... I... We...
223 ZOUZAB 223
Yes?
Zouzab moves toward them -- and though it’s barely

noticeable, there’s a sinister shift in Zouzab’s energy.
224 ZOUZAB 224
What do you have there?
ON TINK, as he shields the map, rolling it up and -- it

vanishes into his sleeve, while -- in a movement that feels
organic, his foot CLICKS closed the secret hiding place.
225 TINK 225
You mean this?
Tink spins, holding up a book he clearly never read the cover

of. Zouzab glares at the book, reading the title --
226 ZOUZAB 226
The Art of Itching?
227 TINK 227
Or this...
A piece of FRUIT flashes into Tink’s other hand. The

ridgerunner studies Tink and Janner, knows they’re up to
something -- but the fruit calls to him. His mouth watering.
228 ZOUZAB 228
Give it to me.
229 TINK 229
The Itch book?
230 ZOUZAB 230
No! The luscious juicy! I so very
want it!
231 TINK 231
Fetch...
He tosses the fruit up into the rafters. Zouzab ZIPS up the

bookshelf, vanishing into the shadows after it.
232 JANNER 232
That was close.

233 OSKAR (O.S.) 233

What was close?
The boys startle.
REVEAL: OSKAR, right behind them. He reads the book title in

Tink’s hand. Studying the boy over his spectacles.
234 OSKAR 234
Is everything alright?
(beat)
You’re hiding something.
Tink and Janner’s faces go pale. Then, Oskar leans in --

235 OSKAR 235
Your secret is safe with me, child.
But if you wish to cure a vexing
rash, there are more helpful books
than this. Believe me, I’ve read
them all, if you know what I mean.
236 TINK 236
Oh, I do know what you mean, sir.
237 OSKAR 237
I recommend you begin with the
classic diagnostic manual “Pimples,
Dimples, Scabs and Scars.” If you
have a moment I’ll fetch it.
238 JANNER 238
Unfortunately, we don’t. We’re
already late. Promised our mom
we’d be home to help with dinner.
239 OSKAR 239
In that case, I’ll pull some books
(stage whisper)
ABOUT ITCHES...
(back to normal voice)
...and have them waiting at the
desk next time you come in.
240 TINK 240
Uh, thanks?
The boys exit. The door bangs shut.

241 OSKAR 241
Ah! “A Beginner’s Guide To
Scratching Unreachable Places” --
Oskar looks back, Janner and Tink are gone.

242 OSKAR (CONT'D) 242

-- might aid that suffering
child...
JUMP TO:
21 EXT. IGIBY COTTAGE - NIGHT 21
The house lights glow in the darkness of the night. Dolly

towards the house...
EXT. IGIBY COTTAGE - DINING ROOM - NIGHT
Podo reaches up off a high shelf. As the boys clear the table
and Nia prepares dessert --
243 PODO 243
Leeli, dear. I made you something.
To replace what you lost. Here...
He offers it to her. Leeli unwraps it to FIND: HER NEW

CRUTCH. Expertly filigreed, the name “LIZARDKICKER” engraved
across the crosspiece. Leeli GIGGLES with delight.
244 LEELI 244
“Lizardkicker?”
245 PODO 245
A sailor earns her sea-name by her
brave deeds. I’d say you earned
this one when you fought the Fang!
246 NIA 246
And we’re very proud of her for it.
But... just the once. Right,
Leeli? Fangs are like Toothy Cows:
better not to meet them at all.
247 LEELI 247
Right.
(hugging Podo)
Thank you, Grampa.
She limps across the floor, testing the new crutch.

248 PODO 248
Arr! Now those Fangs’ll be quakin’
in their scales at the sight of the
mighty Leeli!
Across the table, this heartwarming moment is lost on Tink,

who is clearly distracted and fidgety.

249 JANNER 249

How’s that itch, Tink?
250 PODO 250
What itch?
Janner smiles. Tink reddens, caught --

251 TINK 251
Nothing. Mister Reteep got it in
his head I had a rash so he tried
to give me books about itches.
252 NIA 252
Why would Oskar think that?
253 PODO 253
Now mark my words, boy, if it’s
sort of reddish-green, and your
toes swell up, you can take the
fatty gut parts of a swindle-fish
and grind em’ up an’--
254 NIA 254
Papa! That’s not appropriate talk
for the table.
255 PODO 255
I’m only saying. If the boy has a
rash he might be too embarrassed to
admit it...
256 TINK 256
I don’t have a rash! Why does
everyone think I have a rash?!
But as Tink fidgets further, Janner sees a piece of rolled

parchment lodged beneath Tink’s shirt. OFF Janner --
CUT TO:
22 INT. IGIBY COTTAGE - KIDS’ ROOM - NIGHT (LATER) 22
Janner peeks his head around a blind to see that Leeli is

asleep, holding her new crutch with Nugget at the foot of her
bed. He quietly retracts.
257 JANNER 257
(whispering)
I told you to put it back!

258 TINK 258

I couldn’t because of nosey Zouzab
and then Oskar’s itch crusade! We
barely got out of there without
getting caught.
259 JANNER 259
It’s not ours, Tink.
260 TINK 260
Do you think it’s Mister Reteep’s?
261 JANNER 261
I don’t know, but if it has to do
with resistance fighters then it’s
important and someone needs it and
we have to put it back.
262 TINK 262
But right now while we have it,
couldn’t we just follow it to see
what secret it leads to? And then
put it back?
263 JANNER 263
It’s not ours Tink. If there’s a
secret, it’s not our secret.
264 TINK 264
Alright. But can’t we just look at
it at least?
Janner fights his own curiosity for a beat. Curiosity wins.

265 JANNER 265
Fine. But just for a minute.
Tink enthusiastically unrolls the map on the floor. He holds

a candle over it. The boys examine the lines and markings.
Tink traces his finger along a LINE on the map. Stops where
the line juts out dramatically.
266 TINK 266
Hey, doesn’t that look a lot like
Fingap Falls?
267 JANNER 267
(catching on)
Which means this... would be where
Glipwood is...

268 TINK 268

And Ferinia’s Flower Shop is here
where this special mark is.
269 JANNER 269
So then all of this dark part is
the forest.
270 TINK 270
Then what’s this right in the
middle of the woods?
Janner narrows his eyes, pondering a moment.

271 JANNER 271
Anklejelly Manor, I think.
272 TINK 272
I’ve heard of that! Isn’t it
haunted by...
(spooky voice)
...the ghost of Brimney Stupe?
273 JANNER 273
Probably just a story. I don’t know
anyone who’s ever been there.
274 TINK 274
So why is a map to Anklejelly Manor
stashed in a secret spot at Books
and Crannies?
275 JANNER 275
Is Oskar secretly a treasure
hunter?!
276 TINK 276
Or a Fang fighter?!
The sound of Podo’s pegleg THUMPING across the floor below

pulls the boys from their speculation.
277 JANNER 277
Quick!
They roll the map and Tink slips it under his shirt just as
Podo appears in the living room below.
278 PODO 278
You barnacle-scrapers asleep yet?
279 TINK 279
Yes sir!

280 JANNER 280

Almost!
Podo scrutinizes them.

281 PODO 281
Didn’ know my grandsons slept
standin’ up. Candles out. G’night.
282 JANNER 282
Night Grampa.
283 TINK 283
Night Grampa.
Podo goes towards his room and closes the door. The boys
stare at each, wondering.
284 JANNER 284
It could be treasure.
285 TINK 285
Or Fang fighters.
OFF the promise of some great adventure, Janner blows out the
candle --
CUT TO:
23 EXT. TORBORRO - DOCKS - NIGHT 23
Darkness. Fog. Black water laps mouldering pilings, as a

TALL SHIP WITH BLACK SAILS approaches the docks.
24 EXT. TORBORRO - PALACE TORR - NIGHT 24
A MASSIVE KITTEN is silhouetted against the stars -- TOWER

TORR, looming over the palace.
The CLATTER of ironshod HORSES rises, as RIDERS THUNDER

toward the gates.
25 INT. PALACE TORR - THRONE ROOM - NIGHT 25
By the light of TORCHES, a tall, imposing Fang sits on a

broken throne. This is GENERAL KHRAK.
The hall is full of feasting and fighting FANGS>
Without warning, the throne room doors CLANG OPEN, and --

SIX MASSIVE FANGS wearing black armor enter. They form

ranks. Silent. Waiting for something, or someone.
Tension rises, until...
A HOODED FIGURE ENTERS, shrouded in a black cowl. The Figure

glides forward, pauses. We do not see its face.
Khrak bows, only daring to look up when a MELLIFLUOUS FEMALE

VOICE bids him --
286 THE STONEKEEPER 286
Rise, my child.
He does, unable to look the STONEKEEPER in the eye. She turns

partially, her arm sweeping out, as she addresses the Fang
Guards in what seems like a dark liturgy.
Would you sing the song of stones?
288 ALL FANGS 288
(lifting spears)
We wish the power to be our own!
Then let it bend both shape and
form...
290 ALL FANGS 290
...and make us fierce as fire and
storm!
Satisfied, the Stonekeeper turns, pauses, scrutinizing Khrak.

The Nameless one no longer believes
the Jewels of Anniera are in Skree.
He means to march west, beyond the
edges of the map. Hail Gnag!
BOOM! BOOM! DOUBLE SPEAR-BUTT STRIKE.

292 GENERAL KHRAK 292
Why does the mighty one continue to
seek these jewels?
Would you question the wisdom of
Gnag The Nameless, General?
BOOM! BOOM! DOUBLE SPEAR-BUTT STRIKE.

Tension in the air as the Stonekeeper fixes her gaze on

Khrak. Beat. She continues...
When we sacked Anniera, many
writings of Wingfeather were found.
He spoke of the Jewel’s ancient
power. Power that makes many things
possible with more... pliable
souls.
Ah. Which is why he has ordered us
to seize the brats of Dugtown.
Yes, my child. But it is not
enough. The carriage must now
travel nightly.
For Gnag!
298 FANG GUARDS 298
Gnag...Gnag...Gnag! GNAG!!
Beneath her cowl, we catch a glimpse of the Stonekeeper’s

cold smile. She seems almost... human? OFF that mystery, we --
SMASH TO BLACK.
