think I'll go home.
CANTOR: Already?
SOPHIE: I'm quite tired.
CANTOR: Where's Kai, he can walk you back.
SOPHIE: Kai's busy, I'll be fine.
She kisses his cheek.
SOPHIE (CONT'D): I'll see you in the morning.
She glances at Rivalen and leaves.
Rivalen finishes his drink and smiles.
RIVALEN: (to Cantor) I think another drink
is in order.
CUT TO.
EXT. EMPTY SIDE STREET
Rivalen pins Sophie against the wall. The two passionately kissing.
Sophie smiles as he moves to her neck.
SOPHIE: Do you love me?
Rivalen begins pulling down his trousers.
SOPHIE (CONT'D): Wait, someone will...
RIVALEN: No one will see, take it off.
Sophie unfastens her top and lets him pull it down.
Rivalen bites at her breasts, Sophie closing her eyes and smiling with pleasure.
SOPHIE: Are we still leaving next week?
Rivalen pauses.
Sophie looks down at him.
SOPHIE (CONT'D): You still want me to go
with you?
Rivalen smiles.
RIVALEN: Of course. Perhaps even sooner.
SOPHIE: What do you mean?
RIVALEN: We can leave tonight.
SOPHIE: (laughs) "Tonight"?
Rivalen presses his face against hers.
RIVALEN: What is it my love? Having
second thoughts?
SOPHIE: No but you need your pay.
Rivalen smiles.
RIVALEN: Don't worry.
He kisses her.
RIVALEN (CONT'D): You're all the pay I
need.
Sophie smiles, swept away by another long kiss.
Rivalen spreads her legs and takes her.
Sophie grimaces in pain.
SOPHIE: Gently, the baby...
Rivalen ignores her and continues to take her.
Sophie's arms wraps around him, grimacing again.
DISSOLVE TO.
EXT. HILL - WHEAT FIELD - LATE NIGHT
Footpath, fenced on one side, Kylan and Arianna walk home, Arianna carrying a large gift basket under her arm.
Kylan looks up at the moons.
Arianna glances at him and sees tears in his eyes.
He kicks a small rock and slows down, Arianna forced to do the same.
He drops down against a post and raises his knees. Lost in his pain.
KYLAN: This isn't right. This isn't the way it
was supposed to be... I know it... I feel it.
Arianna looks at him, unsure what to do.
Kylan looks up at the moons again, more tears in his eyes.
Arianna slowly sets down the basket and sits beside him.
KYLAN (CONT'D): The Great Spirit is
broken.
He lowers his head against his knees.
Arianna looks at him, hesitating. She raises her arm to comfort him but then decides against it.
She draws back and raises her own knees, allowing him to grieve.
FADE TO BLACK.
FADE IN.

EXT. BARN
A chicken pecks for food.
EXT. FARM HOUSE
The swing lightly sways in the breeze.
An apple is picked from the tree. Arianna, standing on a ladder, throws it down to the basket.
She reaches for another when she sees something past the branches.
She slowly leans aside and stops.
EXT. OUTSKIRTS OF ELLORA
Children chase each other, playing tag. One of the boys stops and looks to the horizon.
The other children slowly do the same.
Horses are heard in the distance... Lots of them.
INT. BEDROOM - FARM HOUSE
The floorboards "creak" as Arianna approaches the window.
She stops by the edge of the frame, keeping herself hidden, and slowly peeks out.
Something is in the sky.
She leans further and looks up.
The object is small, a good distance away.
Rotating on itself.
Arianna quickly backs away from the window and holds against the wall.
A forgotten fear in her eyes.
CUT TO.
INT. STABLE
Kylan repairs the gate to Kanthaka's stable.
The stable doors open.
