💗NO ONES POV:💗

Opening shot: Raven staring at the book on the floor. Malchior's voice comes from it.

Book: Ow. (She gasps.)

Raven: Uh, did you just--?

Book: --Speak?

Raven: Uh-huh.

Book: I did. (Zoom in.) And then you dropped me on my spine.

Raven: Oh. Sorry. (kneels) Books aren't supposed to talk.

Book: True, fair maiden, but I am no book.

It opens, flipping quickly through the pages to stop on one whose bottom half has been torn out. Malchior's eyes are in the upper section, seen in black and white.

Book: I am a man. Malchior of Nol, (Cut to Raven; it continues) at your service.

Raven: The wizard who faced the dread dragon Rorek?

Book: The wizard who defeated Rorek-- (Back to it.) --and who was trapped within these pages by the dragon's final curse.

Raven: Trapped? But that battle was almost--

Close-up of the page; zoom in slowly.

Book: --One thousand years ago. And I've been waiting for someone to find me ever since. Raven...

The pages flip to a picture of the young Titan, hands glowing against a shimmering background of moon, stars, and the birds for which she was named.

Book: ...I've been waiting for you.

This, then, is the same book that appeared in the story sequences. Her face flushes a bit at its last pronouncement. Extending a black-shining hand toward the book, she is met with a blinding flash that shoots toward the ceiling. Close-up of her as it fades away.

Raven: The curse is strong. I'm sorry. I don't think my power can break it.

Book: I know. (Back to Malchior's page.) But perhaps we could just talk?

That question sets her brain reeling. Dissolve to the exterior of the Tower, zooming in slowly.

Book: (from inside) Stank Ball? You're joking.

Raven: (from inside) They wanted me to referee with Y/N.

Cut to a close-up of the page; pull back slowly.

Book: (dryly) Smashing. You must be the luckiest girl in the world.

Pull back to frame Raven as well. She has propped it open on a stand at eye level in her room.

Book: And this Beast Boy sounds like an absolute genius. Along with this...Bat? (She laughs a bit.)

Raven: That's funny. You're funny.

Book: And you're the best thing that's happened to me in a thousand years. (Cut to her.)

Raven: (surprised) Then...you don't think I'm...creepy?

Book: Certainly not. (Pull back to frame both; slow pan.) You are dark, and darkness is often misunderstood.

Back to it; slow zoom.

Book: But I feel like I understand you.

Raven: (smiling warmly) I feel that way, too. (She yawns.)

Book: It's late. You should sleep.

Raven: Do you promise you'll still be here when I wake up?

The preceding page forms into a gray-paper rose.
