the council

first looks

We open on a man, a screen play writer named kenai. Kenai hasn't been able to come up with a good idea in months, he's been looking for inspiration in old book stores. Kenai stopped at a dusty looking books store called "last resort books." The windows are dark so he peers in the window to see if anyone is inside. There is no one to be seen, kenai tries the door. The door opens with a loud creek. Kenai steps inside and it smells like dusty old books, which is his favorite smell. There are rows and rows of books with spider webs and dust all over the place, as if no one had been here in years. Kenai hears faint whispers as he walks further into the store. He makes out some of what is being whispered.
"What do you think?"
"No it's not him"
"Hello?" Kenai says wondering who else is there with him.
The whispers getting frantic shushing each other.
Kenai walks through the rows trying to find the source of the whispers.
"He's getting closer!" Kenai hears as he enters the fourth row.
Suddenly a book falls off one of the shelves, its bright red with a gold and silver border. Kenai quickly steps back and looks around for who could have dropped this. He hesitantly steps toward the book and bends down to pick it up, just as hes about to grab it the book slides quickly away from him across the floor.
"No, let him get it."
"This was meant to happen"
Kenai steps toward the book again, this time he was able to grab it he flipped it over in his hands to read the cover. The name of the book is "Marcello's Maze."
"Interesting title." Kenai says
He opens the book to a random middle page. Before kenai could even read anything the book starts to shake and he drops it. The whispers get louder and seem to surround him. The ground starts shaking and more books are falling off the shelves. Kenai started backing up to escape this horrifying sceen. But his feet are somehow being absorbed into the book, his body starts disappearing into the book slowing turning in words from the feet down like the words of his life are being writen into the book. Kenai yells for help but the door of the shop slams shut and locks. The dark dusty windows get darker and the whole room starts disappearing into writen words and pouring into "Marcello's Maze."
Kenai officially disintegrated into words the room disappeared into blackness.
Kenai's eyes open, he's laying on the floor. He quickly looks at both sides of his hands to make sure they were there. He starts thinking he's going crazy, kenai sits up and looks around. He realizes quickly that he's not in the shop anymore. He's surrounded by green hedges, its dark but he can see small amount of light in the sky, covered by circular red clouds.
"Guys what if its not him?"
"It is him, it has to be."
"Hello?!? I can hear you!" Kenai shouts the the hedges around him
Suddenly three orbs of light appear out of one of the hedges.
Kenai stands up and backs away from the orbs.
"Hello, I am Julius." Says one of the orbs it glows brighter with each word it says so kenai can tell which one is talking.
"The two others with me are Mariana and Octavia." "We are part of the council of Marcello's maze."
"What... What?!" Kenai stutters
"Its a long story so sit tight kiddo." Says Julius
"Marcello is our master, he's in the castle at the end of this maze. H wanted to find a way to preserve the mind and live forever. Which is why were are in your presence as these orbs, Marcello did it. I will give him some credit but he got lost in his own findings. His mind preserving machine got a mind of its own. It trapped Marcello in the castle and made it impossible for anyone to get to the castle through the maze. We've been waiting for the right person to pick up our book and help us get through this maze. We were told you would come, and here you are! The maze is created specifically to open up when you rewrite your wrongs in life. There are 25 points in your life that are sprawled out throughout the maze." Julius explained.
"What does this have to do with me?" Kenai asks
"Uh well I'm not really sure, we weren't able to get much information from Marcello" Julius says.
"So what do I need to do to get out of this place?" Kenai asks trying to stay calm.
"You see that pedistal over there? Just place your hand on it and it will take you back in time to the first wrong you need to fix." Julius explains
"Okay... Let's do this then." Kenai says as he places his hand on the pesistal and he instantly disappears.
