'LAND OF THE GODS'
TEASER
IT READS:
A unified kingdom was formed in 3150 BC by King Menes, leading to a series of dynasties that ruled Egypt for the next three millennia.
Egyptian culture flourished during this long period and remained distinctively Egyptian in its religion, arts, language, and customs.
But before that...
There were the Gods!
CUT TO:
EXT. ALLEYS - VALLEY OF GODS - ANCIENT EGYPT - NIGHT - A VERY LONG TIME AGOON A WOMAN - She's wearing a long white gown with a golden cape. She's holding an object between her hands. Her face is covered by the darkness. A lock of her dark hair can be seen. Long. Dark as the night. And it is a very dark night.
She is fast. Not a single soul can be seen apart from her in this long-gone city.
The land of Egypt. The Land of Ancient Egyptian Gods. Old constructions, very advanced for the time. Symbols are drawn on the walls.
She takes her right and heads into an alley. Stops. Glances around and ---
OFF TO A MAN - He comes from the shadows.
The woman looks at him. She holds the object strongly against her chest.
SEPUNTEPET
My Queen.
ON THE WOMAN - She uncovers her face.
The camera takes a close shot of the woman's face. Even in the shadows, there's no mistake. She's the living image of Prue Halliwell. Only that this is not Prue. This is someone else. Someone that came before. Someone that wasn't born the same way humans do. This woman had a very different beginning. She once used to be an Angel named Adriel, but then she took the Fall. And now, she is something more. Not an angel, neither a human, but a fallen angel turned into a Goddess by humans. With powers to rule as Queen of the Earth. Her name, ISIS, the mythical goddess of life magic.
ISIS
Sepuntepet!
Sepuntepet, who is wearing a knee-length male while gown, vows to her.
SEPUNTEPET
I came as soon as you called.
ISIS
The World isn't safe, Sepuntepet.
SEPUNTEPET
He did it, didn't he? Lord Seth did it.
ISIS
He bought a great risk among us by creating this creature.
SEPUNTEPET
He wants to dethrone King Osiris at any cost.
ISIS
He won't ever be half the king Osiris is.
(pauses)
The beast has been stopped, Sepuntepet, but I can't risk that Seth releases it again. The World is such a precious creation to be destroyed.
SEPUNTEPET
Atum's creation must be preserved.
ISIS
Indeed.
SEPUNTEPET
Why did you summon me here, my Queen Isis?
Isis looks down at the objects she’s holding.
ON OBJECT - It is wrapped in a cloth.
Isis looks at Sepuntepet.
ISIS
I’ve managed to lock the demon.
Isis takes off the cloth from the object.
ON SEPUNTEPET - His eyes widen.
SEPUNTEPET
That is your Ankh.
ISIS
Now, it has become more than that. I’ve used it to trap the demon inside. It will cost me to be separated from it, but this is the only object with power enough to contain the demon.
SEPUNTEPET
What do you want me to do, my Queen?
ISIS
I want you to take it.
Isis hands him the Ankh.
ISIS (CONT'D)
Leave this land. Cross the river and settle far away from here. Don’t ever return to this land.
SEPUNTEPET
But my Queen ---
ISIS
The Ankh might never set foot here again. Not in the future. But will in the past. Seth would find it.
SEPUNTEPET
But where should I go? Egypt is the only land I know.
ISIS
There’s more out there. More places yet to be found. The Ankh will guide you. Take it, Sepuntepet.
Sepuntepet takes the Ankh wrapped in the cloth.
ISIS
Many years will pass before you find the one who is supposed to protect it.
SEPUNTEPET
How should I know who that someone is?
ISIS
(smiles)
You will know.
SEPUNTEPET
What if I die before?
ISIS
I’m granting you a long life, Sepuntepet. Your soul will only rest the day you find my equal.
Sepuntepet lowers his gaze at the object.
ISIS (CONT'D)
Find the Power of Three and give the Ankh to their leader.
Sepuntepet looks at Isis.
ISIS (CONT'D)
Now, go, my loyal servant. Go and don’t ever look back.
Sepuntepet nods and runs away.
ISIS (CONT'D)
Might the Gods be with you. Might the one God be with you.
A tear rolls down Isis’ face while she watches as Sepuntepet runs faster until is out of her sight.
ON ISIS - She wipes her tear.
CUT TO:
EXT. SAN FRANCISCO - DAY - PRESENT DAYINSTRUMENTAL EGYPTIAN MUSIC
Several places all over the town are being shown.
CUT TO:
INT. PRUE’S CONDO - MAIN BEDROOM - DAYNate is placing Andrew into the baby stroller and then he puts the baby’s bag on his shoulder.
OFF TO PRUE - She comes from the bathroom and stares for a few seconds at them.
PRUE
Going out?
Nate doesn’t look at Prue. Oh, boy. He must be mad. After the way she talked to him back in Magic School, he has his reasons.
NATE
I’ll take him to the park.
PRUE
Good. Breathing fresh air will do some good for him.
Nate turns to her. Ready to push the baby stroller.
NATE
My son and I need more than just fresh air.
Emphasis on the ‘my son’.
And just like that, Nate pushes the stroller out of the bedroom while Prue watches them.
She takes a deep breath.
PRUE
I need my life back.
She heads to the closet and starts picking some clothes for the day.
CUT TO:
INT. PRUE’S CONDO - KITCHEN - DAYBianca and Jo are by the counter having coffee and chatting. They are across from each other.
BIANCA
He was very nice to me, really.
JO
And you are just telling me this now? This is a good sign.
PRUE (O.S.)
What’s a good sign?
They turn to face Prue who approaches them and sits right beside Jo.
JO
It seems like Chris is being very nice to Bianca.
Prue looks at Bianca.
PRUE
Did anything else happen apart from the good attitude he had towards you the day the Firestarter ran away?
JO
(surprised)
Wait! Did you know?
Prue shrugs.
PRUE
I need coffee.
JO
Mum, you didn’t tell me. And you can’t drink coffee. Pregnant, remember?
PRUE
I do. I just keep my hopes that you forget.
Prue touches her belly. Still a very small belly. No one would say Prue was pregnant.
PRUE (CONT'D)
I think it started showing faster when I was pregnant with you.
JO
It has just been a month since we left our reality, mum. Were you, what? Two weeks pregnant when you found out?
PRUE
Maybe.
BIANCA
I’ll get you some orange juice.
Prue grimaces.
PRUE
Yes, I knew about them.
JO
Why didn’t you tell me?
PRUE
You were very busy with Mel.
JO
Well, I haven’t found any relevant yet. I mean, I have a few notes that I need to check out, but I barely good anywhere.
PRUE
We must focus in investigate those spots that differ from our reality.
Bianca hands Prue a glace of orange juice. Prue shoots her a thankful look.
JO
What about you and Wyatt?
Prue has a sip of her juice.
BIANCA
Still haven’t talked since that day on the bridge?
JO
What day on the bridge?
(mad)
Oh, my God. You’re keeping me on the blue.
PRUE
We’re are not. You are just busy lately. Besides, I can’t talk to you about this stuff.
JO
What stuff?
Prue and Bianca exchange glances. Jo notices the accomplished looks.
JO (CONT'D)
Wait. What happened?
PRUE
I kinda told him that I love him.
Jo’s eyes widen.
JO
Oh, my God!
PRUE
Yeah.
Prue has another sip of her juice.
JO
What did he say?
PRUE
Oh, he thought that I was crazy and then that bitchy wife of him called.
Prue stands.
PRUE
You know what? I need to get some fresh air.
JO
I thought you were going to the library today. Again.
PRUE
No. I need a day off to think. Just get me a list of all demons that were supposed to be vanquished by us and weren’t.
JO
Why?
PRUE
Because every detail counts.
Prue turns and walks into her bedroom.
JO
Prue Halliwell taking a day off?
BIANCA
Hey, she’s your mother. Don’t give me that look.
Bianca turns around and starts cleaning the kitchen. Jo turns to the bedroom entrance and frowns.
CUT TO:

Hey, Wyatt!

CHRIS (CONT'D)
Again, leaving so earlier for work? Jessica was kinda annoyed.
WYATT
Someone needs to work.
CHRIS
Oh, no. Don’t give me that. I’m not Jessica.

I’m your brother.
Wyatt sits back on his chair.
CHRIS (CONT'D)
Something is bothering you; I can tell. You’ve been like this for days. Leaving early in the morning. Coming back late at night.
(pauses)
What’s bothering you, brother?
Wyatt takes a deep breath and looks seriously at Chris.
