Brother's Keeper AU
Story Post 12 (Part 2)
AU MASTER POST
BEGINNING | PREVIOUS | NEXT
[Image ID under the cut]
[IMAGE ID: Three pages of a black and white comic.
PAGE ONE
PANEL 1:
Perry Porter continues his news report.
"Further investigation," he says, "reveals that this human has been the subject of sightings in Bonesborough for a few weeks now, and is the cause of a recent disturbance at Hexside School. For further comment, here is my own son, Augustus."
PANEL 2:
Perry interviews Gus, who is grinning with excitement. "Augustus, is it true you've encountered this human before?"
"Yeah!" exclaims Gus, "She snuck into the school and now she's my friend! Her name is Luz!"
PANEL 3:
"Now that they're together, I can see…" says Belos. "It's them."
With a point of his finger, he conjures hologram-like illusions of Luz and Lillith, who stand in the throne room facing them, with their names above their heads.
"I don't understand," says Caleb.
PANEL 4:
The illusions have transformed into Luz and Lilith in their disguises from "Elsewhere and Elsewhen." The names over their heads have changed to "Luzura" and "Aunt Dirtrude."
"I had to consult memory magic to be sure," Belos says, "but I was correct."
Caleb reads the names out loud: "Luzura and--"
PANEL 5:
He points, laughing. "Wait, is that the witch who broke your nose?"
"They're the two who helped me find the Collector," Belos grumbles. "I did always have questions about them. Clearly there was time magic involved."
PAGE TWO
PANEL 1:
A profile view of Caleb, quietly sad.
"I see," he says. "And this human attacked a witch in a duel."
PANEL 2:
But then he turns and brings a hand to his chin in thought. "But… the boy called her his friend?"
"Either a cunning ploy, or she is… struggling to find her way," responds Belos. "Either way, she isn't ready to face a witch."
PANEL 3:
A view of footage from the news report, projected by the crystal ball. In a moment from the episode "Convention," Eda exposes the power glyph used on Amity while Luz looks on in surprise.
Belos continues to speak off screen. "If it wasn't for the Owl Lady's intervention, she would have sorely lost."
"The Owl Lady protected her?" Caleb asks.
"Yes, it appears my suspicions were correct."
PANEL 4:
"The portal door has reappeared, in the hands of another one of your blasted Clawthornes."
A close-up of Belos against a totally black background, his face shadowed. One hateful eye gleams from behind his mask.
PANEL 5:
A close-up of Caleb staring up at him, also shadowed against black. His face is lined, his single pupil a pinprick. His expression is schooled neutral.
"And just as before," Belos continues off screen, "the witch has taken advantage to claim a human soul."
PANEL 6:
"No wonder the child came to me for help. If not for Lilith, perhaps I could have aided her back then." He stands in front of the projection, watching the newscast, his back to Caleb. "I should order her collected and brought here. Shield her from further corruption. If only the Owl Lady wasn't guarding her."
PANEL 7:
A close up of Caleb jolting forward, fearful. "NO!" he bursts out.
PAGE THREE
PANEL 1:
A close-up of Belos glowering dangerously over his shoulder, lit by the broadcast from behind. "No?"
PANEL 2:
Caleb sweats. "I mean. Philip, don't you think it'll look suspicious to show too much interest in a human?"
PANEL 3:
Caleb takes Belos hand, clutching him imploringly. "Not to mention the possibilities of meddling in the time-line. It's too risky."
Belos isn't looking at him anymore. He looks ahead at the illusion of Luz, whose back is to us in the foreground. His expression is unreadable.
PANEL 4:
A high angle shot of Belos and Caleb watching Luz's illusion. Caleb still clings to Belos. Luz's illusion is alone now, staring at them blankly as she stands at the far end of the throne room.
"Yes," Belos agrees, "I fear it's too early to intervene. It seems the Lord is testing her."
PANEL 5:
"For now," he continues off screen, "she will have to face the temptations of this realm on her own."
A close-up of Caleb, letting out a breath of relief.
PANEL 6:
Caleb's eyes snap open. Belos' hand has come up to brush his cheek.
PANEL 7:
Belos pulls Caleb into a hug. Caleb's face over Belos' shoulder is drawn in supressed, silent horror, cast in deep shadows, as Belos murmurs to him reassuringly.
"Don't worry, Caleb. The Owl Lady will be taken care of. And then the portal to the human realm will be in safe hands."
PANEL 8:
Belos and Caleb in profile against a black background, casting long shadows on the ground. Belos hunches over Caleb, one arm around his back and the other hand on the back of his head, pressing him close. Caleb dangles limply, face towards the ceiling, pulled halfway out of his wheelchair.
Belos murmurs into Caleb's hair. "I won't let history repeat."

Meanwhile, at Vatore Manor... Part I
Previous / Next
Transcript under the cut.
Lilith: Caleb! CALEB!
[squelch] [squelch] [splat]
Lilith: Caleb.
Caleb: Early night for you.
Lilith: Mm. Be a dear for me, won’t you? Crawl out of your dreary little man cave and run me a bath.
Caleb: Come on, Lil. I just got to the good part. Can’t you do it your-
Lilith: [hisses] Now.
Caleb: [groans internally, clicks off TV]
Lilith: Jesus, you still haven’t gotten rid of this witchy junk? [pauses deliberately] It’s not like they’re ever coming back for it.
Caleb: [clenches fist] Do you want your bath or not?

"Ah. Where am I? What is this? Aw farts, I got caught."
Belos: "Edalyn Clawthorne, the infamous Owl Lady, the wild witch of Bonesborough. Mentor of Luz the Human."
Eda: "You stay away from her, or so help me, Titan..."
Belos: "You've got it all wrong. The human is safe, for now. I just want the portal she came through."
Eda: "Tough, 'cause I ain't telling you nothing!"
Belos "Ugh, pity. Although I suppose I could ask the human herself..."
"Wait! Don't touch her! Lilith, don't let him hurt her! Lilith!"
"Ah, taking her to the healing ceremony?"
Belos: "I will not be healing her."
Lilith: "But, you... promised me."
"Don't be so naïve, Lilith. This is the Titan's will. All wild witches must be dealt with with before the Day of Unity. You understand, don't you?"
It's very interesting to rewatch this scene with full knowledge of Belos's plan. He truly doesn't mean Luz any harm, or at least much less harm than the inhabitants of the Boiling Isles, since she is human like him. He needs the portal so he can escape the empty Boiling Isles after the Day of Unity and return to the Human Realm a conquering witch hunter. He needs Eda to die to ensure no witches remain alive after the Day of Unity. He doesn't care about maintaining Lilith's loyalty since she will die during the Day of Unity anyway, being a coven member, and he assumes, quite wrongly, that no possible betrayal of hers could interfere with it.
