Jennie is out of breath when she loses sight of the stag. She finds herself in a forest glen bathed by the light of the full moon. The sky is exceptionally clear.
Voice: Detective Jennie…
Startled, Jennie turns around and sees a beautiful young woman.
Jennie: How do you know my name?
Woman: (Laughs.) Everyone knows your name…
Jennie: How do you know my face?
Woman: I’ve been watching you...
Jennie: Who are you?
Woman: I am Jisoo. I am a sorceress from the mountains surrounding this valley…
Jennie: What do you want with me?
Jisoo: You are about to start a life changing journey, Detective Jennie…
Jennie: Yes, this case will decide if I will become royal inspector.
Jisoo: (Smiles mysteriously.) If you want to think of it that way…
Jennie waits for Jisoo expectantly. Jisoo did not answer her previous question.
Jisoo: I am here to help and guide you…
Jennie: Why?
Jisoo: To prevent suffering…
Jennie: How will you help me?
Jisoo: (Smiles.) First, I have a gift for you…
Jisoo pulls out a long, white, silky, sparkling cloak.
Jisoo: This is an invisibility cloak to assist you in your investigation…
Jisoo hands Jennie the cloak. Jennie throws it over her shoulders. She is not invisible…yet.
Jennie: How do I activate this invisibility cloak?
Jisoo: You put it on and then say “invisiblity queen” three times…
Jennie: Invisibility kween. Invisibility kween. Invisibility kween.
Jennie finds herself fading into the forest glen.
Jennie: Wow. Impressive. (Pauses.) How do I turn it off?
Jisoo: Say “only look at me.”
Jennie: Only look at me.
Jennie sees her corporal being appear again.
Jennie: Thank you, Jisoo-nim.
Jisoo: I also have some advice to give you…
Jennie: Yes?
Jisoo: First: Do not accept anything from the Royal Potions Master, Mistress Sense.
Jennie: Makes sense.
Jennie starts chuckling. Jisoo rolls her eyes.
Jisoo: Second: Listen to your heart.
Jennie: Is this a Disney film?
Jisoo: And third: When it is time to choose your protégé, think about the long-term.
Jennie: “Long-term”?
Jisoo: That is all I have to say. I bid you good night.
Jennie: Wait…
Jisoo disappears into a mist that has started to creep in from the woods.
