The League of Legend Keepers: Shadows

Maps.

They're magical things.

They can lead you to places you've never been

but they can also show you new ways

of getting to places you think you know.

My name is Sophie Carson.

My family's been to so many places on the map

that you'd think we wouldn't need one by now.

Edward Carson, archeologist, leader of our tribe.

Hunter and gatherer.

Katie Carson, queen of the Carson clan

and world class map reader.

Aramus, Armenia, the Baba Temple in Bahrain

and Xinjiang, China, all places

we've followed Dad looking for the Holy Grail.

I'm not joking.

My father's life work has been to find five pendants.

When worn around the neck,

they bring great power and wealth.

But like all magic, that comes with a price.

A life's work for Dad and Mom and me

and oh yes.

Emma, mini me.

Not.

How can your own sister have an American accent

when we're all English?

I'll tell you how.

A life lived traveling, that's how.

Anyway, we've trekked, wandered, strayed off

the goat trail as they say Zalabiye, Syria.

Why don't I tell you about the legend

that my family has been chasing?

The one that has led us back to Emma's birthplace?

Sunny California.

Before books, before Scriptures,

there were legends, whispered stories of pendants.

Rare jewels from the five walked upon lands

that gave the owner the power of darkness

and immortality.

In ancient times the holder was a queen.

Queen Lily Bethany of the West,

mother of all sand tribes.

But one winter her only son became ill, very ill.

A breath away from death, his mother had no choice.

She turned to the dark shadow from the south.

Ohanzee.

Ohanzee promised Queen Lily Bethany

that he would save her first born.

He would free her son from the shadows of death

in exchange for the pendants.

Queen Lily Bethany hesitantly accepted his deal,

allowing Ohanzee the power of her son's soul.

Ohanzee tore the shadow of death from the boy

and took the pendants.

However, there were only four, not the five

needed to grant him the powers of the Holy Grail.

He grew angry and cursed his shadows and fire

upon the sand tribes.

Burning their villages and cursing them to eternal darkness.

Finally, unleashing his new power,

he killed the boy and his mother

with the very shadows he'd promised to remove.

It is said that this was the very beginnings

between light and darkness.

And he had skulls all over his body.

- Ow. - Sophie.

- How's she ever going to learn the good stuff?

Are we there yet?

Are we there yet?

We've been driving for hours.

We've been driving for hours.

- Stop it. - Stop it.

You're always copying me.

You're always copying me.

Girls, stop it.

- Yay, starting a new school in the middle of the year.

I liked India.

I didn't.

- You'll be fine, Sophie, besides.

What could possibly go wrong in this place?

- Look girls, palm trees.

Oh, it's just like Cairo.

- Yes, with slightly better toilets.

Okay.

See kids?

It's really nice.

- Come on now, out you get.

- Mom, I'm gonna be a scientist just like you.

Eddie?

If you don't get to school on time, bud,

no science camp.

I mean it, huh?

Oh (coughs) so stinky.

Oh, not again!

- This is where they're putting us up.

Whoa.

No it's good, hey.

Yeah.

- Let's go put our stuff in our rooms.

- I hope there are no evil spirits here, Emma.

Buddy.

I'm not gonna ask again.

I'm almost finished.

There's never enough time.

Okay.

Let's do this.

See, it's not so bad here?

Good neighborhood.

Okay.

Great view.

Flaming balls of smoke.

Smoke!

Smoke, um.

That's the smoke detector going off,

I can't even, oh.

Ah.

- Sophie, Sophie, hurry up, darling,

you'll be later for your new school!

(spits) Coming.

- Sophie, I have to be at the dig by nine

so you'll have to walk to school today.

Oh, my book.

I'm gonna be late darling.

Okay, okay, sorry about that.

Darling, the toilet isn't working.

Edward.

Well it wasn't me.

- I wish I could get her to move like that.

And I guess you broke another toilet again.

- Well, I can neither confirm nor deny that.

See you later.

- Bye honey. - Bye darling.

Have a great first day.

She's growing up so fast.

So fast.

She never tells me bye.

Bye Emma, get a room.

Maybe she's got an idea.

- You're gonna be late, it's your first day.

- No you're right, I've gotta go.

Go (laughs).

I love you.

Love you too.

- Bye. - Bye.

Good luck.

Give me that.

- Two explosions in less than 24 hours,

that's gotta be a record of some sort.

- On the bright side, I haven't blown up the house.

Yet (laughs).

Are you an inventor?

I try to be.

Although, some of the experiments

are better than others.

I'm Sophie.

I'm Edison.

Nice to meet you Edison.

Nice to meet you too.

- So what were the explosions you were doing?

You've reached

Travis Jackson at Digs Are Us, please leave your name

and message after the tone.

- Oh hi, Travis, this is Doctor Carson.

I'm running a bit behind this morning

and could be there shortly.

I could use some coffee.

Looking forward to meeting you, old chap.

Good morning, old chap, how's it going?

Old chap.

- Never mind that, I'm sure it's great.

All good in the hood as they say.

Tell me, where's the coffee?

Yes, good morning, sir.

By the way everything is as you requested.

It's such an honor to be working with you.

Such an honor.

I just can't believe it's in our home town here, it's

cool, in fact.

Yes, yes, quite incredible.

You know what else is incredible?

Coffee.

Strong, black coffee.

Would you be a good lad and maybe go get me some?

Good lad, sure, I'd love to.

Thank you.

BRB.

BRB.

Be right back.

Here you are, sir.

- Okay, right so, continue digging here.

Yeah, but, Sir.

No, no, no, it's here.

- It's a hundred yards away, it can't be.

Can't be here.

- Did you perhaps grab some creamer?

What's that?

Creamer.

Creamer?

Creamer?

Creamer.
