270. Super Nova - Leslie







  • FADE IN:

  • INT. WEAVER'S CHAMBER - NIGHT

  • The Chamber is a small space ringed with wall sconces that seem to glow magically.

  • The floor is tiled with simple, beautiful designs; every 12th tile carrying a strange rune.

  • In the center of the room is large glass column filled with a strange liquid; and suspended in that liquid is the WEAVER.

  • Her eyes are closed, hair floating around her like rays radiating from the sun.

  • Her arms move dreamily and her long fingers pluck at the space around her, pulling unseen threads on an invisible looms.

  • As she plucks, the tiles with symbols ignite, the runes glowing then fading back to gray.

  • The room shakes and her eyes fly open.

  • She plucks faster and faster, becoming frantic.

  • The room shakes more violently, tiles tearing out of the floor.

  • The sconces begin to melt.

  • The weaver stops and reaches out, touching the thick glass of her cage.

  • She watches, her face growing calmer and calmer.

  • The walls begin to melt around her.

  • EXT. WEAVER'S CHAMBER - NIGHT

  • Shock waves push out of the room and it is now apparent that it is a dark sphere floating in the burning heart of a star.

  • The shock waves race with blinding speed up through the molten layers to the surface of the star, where rivers of flame pool into burning lakes.

  • Flares through themselves out into space, webs of nebula coloring its distant sister stars.

  • The waves hit the surface and flares explode far out int the dark.

  • The star convulses.

  • INT. WEAVER'S CHAMBER - NIGHT

  • She closes her eyes and spreads her arms as she begins to glow.

  • She smiles for a moment, lost in the space between consciousness and nothingness.

  • She becomes even brighter and her eyes open, her pupils becoming white hot.

  • Her faces wrenches in pain and she screams.

  • EXT. STAR SURFACE - NIGHT

  • The star condenses, the dark sphere drinking in the nuclear chaos surrounding it, until it is all that is left.

  • There is silence, then the sound of the Weaver's breath exhaling.

  • The sphere tears apart waves of light and fire exploding outwards in a sphere of flame as the star goes supernova, breathing its last fiery breath.

  • FADE TO BLACK.
