Third Person

1418, Cortona, Italy.

A young man was standing by a window looking into the room at his master.

"Carlo, caro mio," Moloch said.

Carlo came into the room and over to Moloch. He knelt as Moloch stepped over to him and placed his hand on his head.

"Mi ami? Ti daro tutto. Tutto quello che desidero e il tuo amore." Moloch said.

"Tu hai il mio amore." Moloch continued.

Moloch growled and quickly twisted Carlo's head and then snapped his neck.

Across the town in the church. A priest Thelonius was talking to a group of monks bearing torches.

"E fuori. E il diavolo, Moloco. E fuori nel mondo, facendo tante cose male. Abbiamo bisogno di fare il circolo." Thelonius said.

The monks gathered around him as he opened a large book. The pages were blank.

"Per potere di questo circolo di Kayless..." Thelonius continued.

~

Back at the castle, Moloch smiled as he straightened up and let Carlo's body fall. His expression changed when he realized something was wrong, and he looked up.

"No!" Moloch yelled in surprise.

~

Back at the church, Thelonius was still chanting.

"Per potere di questo circolo di Kayless, ti commando! Vieni!" Thelonius chanted.

~

Moloch began to scream angrily in the castle.

~

Back at the church.

"Ti commando! Vieni!" Thelonius chanted.

~

Moloch screams got louder as they were in terror.

~

In the church.

"VIENI!" Thelonius yelled/chanted. 

~

Moloch continued to scream as he suddenly burst into millions of tiny particles.

~

In the church, the particles of Moloch came from the castle fell into the book.

"Vieni, demino! Vieni!" Thelonius chanted as the particles continued to fall into the book and ancient scripture appeared.

When the pages were filled, Thelonius closed the book. He stepped over to a table and placed the book into a heavy wooden box.

"Preghiamo che questo libro e mai letto piu..." Thelonius told the monks.

~

The Preist looked into the box.

"Che il demonio Molocco e mai lasciato piu fuori nel mondo." Thelonius said.

He placed the lid on the box. Centuries later, the lid is lifted off of the box.

Aurora POV 

I opened a box and looked inside.

"Oh, great! A book!" I sarcastically said.

Kate grabbed the book out of the box and blew some of the dust off of it.

"Oh, uh, I, uh... haven't gone through the new arrivals. Uh, put it in, uh, in, in that pile." Giles said as he pointed with the books in his hands.

"Here, I'll get it," Dave said.

Dave got up from his computer.

"Oh, thanks, Dave. The Willow and Kyra pile." Kate replied.

Dave took the book from Kate and went over to pile of books that were next Willow and Kyra.

"Uh, when I've examined it, you, can, uh, uh, skim it," Giles said.

I rolled my eyes. Giles still doesn't understand technology.

"Scan it, Rupert. That's scan it." Ms. Calendar the new computer teacher said.

"Of course," Giles said as he gave her sarcastic look.

"Oh, I know, our ways strange to you, but soon you will join us in the 20th century. With three whole years to spare!" Ms. Calendar replied.

"Ms. Calendar, I'm sure your computer science class is fascinating, but I happen to believe that one can survive in modern society without being a slave to the, um, idiot box," Giles told her.

"That's TV. The idiot box is TV. This is the good box!" Ms. Calendar told him with annoyment.

"I still prefer a good book," Giles said.

"Me too," Kyra replied.

"The printed page is obsolete," Fritz said as he stood up. "Information isn't bound up anymore. It's an entity. The only reality is virtual. If you're not jacked in, you're not alive." He grabbed his books and left.

"Thank you, Fritz, for making us all sound like crazy people." Ms. Calendar said. "Fritz, Fritz comes on a little strong, but he does have point. You know, for the last two years more email was sent than regular mail." She said as she turned to Giles.

"Oh," Giles replied.

"More digitized information went across phone lines than conversation." Ms. Calendar told him.

"That is a fact that I regard with genuine horror," Giles replied.

"I'll bet it is." Ms. Calendar teasingly said. "Alright, guys lets wrap it up for today."

"I've just got a few more. I'll hang for a bit." Willow said as Kyra finished up her pile and got up.

"Cool! Thanks." Ms. Calendar replied.

Xander grabbed his bag and pulled it onto his shoulder.

"Xander, you wanna stay help me?" Willow asked him.

"Are you kidding?" Xander said in disbelief.

"Yes, it was a joke I made up," Willow said as she was taken back.

Buffy started to leave the library.

"Willow, I love you, but bye!" Xander said as he left.

"See you tomorrow!" Willow called after him.

"Buffy, wait up!" Xander yelled to Buffy.

"I'm, I'm just gonna stay and clean up a little. I'll, uh, I'll be back in middle ages." Giles said as he started up the stairs.

Kate, Kyra and I started to leave.

"Did you ever leave?" We heard Ms. Calendar questioned.

We turned back to see Giles expression and then left to head for quick patrol. Then headed home for bed.

Third Person

Willow was alone in the library scanning her last book. She drew the scanner over the last two pages, and they appear on the monitor. As she types to save the scan, the script in the book disappeared. Willow closed the book, and placed in the pile with the others and left. The computer monitor went blank as words appeared.

"Where am I?" Moloch in the computer asked.
