Geoffrey Blake: The Sentinel

Quotes 

• Mel Vera : Are you the sentinel?

  The Sentinel : You can see me?

  [laughing, he hugs them] 

  The Sentinel : Oh! I have not seen another soul in hundreds of years, and... not a living soul. Oh. But... if you're up here, things must be pretty bad down there.

  Harry Greenwood : [shaking hands]  Harry Greenwood, and... we need to talk.

• Mel Vera : So, how exactly did you end up here?

  The Sentinel : LeeAnn and I had two boys, Owen and Walter. They got smallpox. Then so did my wife. The Elders came to me in my hour of grief. They offered me a deal. My wife and kids could live if I agreed to serve as their sentinel, protecting the Book of Elders. But if it's true they're gone, then I'm stuck.

  Harry Greenwood : It's a beautiful garden.

  The Sentinel : It's an empty garden. Oh, sure, the occasional spirit passes through, but they can't see me. Do you like Scotch?

  Harry Greenwood : We're sorry for your predicament. Truly. But we've been trying to decipher the Book of Elders, and it led us to you. We need your help.

  The Sentinel : Who are "we," exactly?

  Mel Vera : The Charmed Ones. Harry is our Whitelighter.

• The Sentinel : Impressive. You solved it.

  Mel Vera : The test... was to figure out it was a test.

  Harry Greenwood : So we never actually left the astral plane.

  The Sentinel : Mm.

  Mel Vera : And Katrina?

  The Sentinel : None the wiser.

  Mel Vera : The Elders take sick pleasure in torturing us, even from the grave.

  The Sentinel : To be fair, the Book of Elders contains the greatest secrets and spells in all of witchcraft. Old magic. Dead magic. Healing magic. Dangerous magic.

  Mel Vera : So does that mean that you can't give us back our powers?

  Harry Greenwood : Can you translate the Book?

  The Sentinel : [offering them a metal scarab]  No. But you can. Use this cipher to decipher the Book. Use it wisely.

  Harry Greenwood : [seeing the echoes of a woman and her children]  Your family.

  The Sentinel : Good luck to both of you. Come see me again sometime, eh?

• Harry Greenwood : Our world is in chaos. Demons are attacking witches.

  Mel Vera : My sisters and I are the only ones left who can stop this. But we've lost our powers.

  The Sentinel : Then you have come to see me to help you get them back, have you?

  Mel Vera : Can you do that?

  The Sentinel : [pouring a magical potion for them]  Drink with me.

  [they do so] 

  The Sentinel : Now get out of here.

  Harry Greenwood : Excuse me?

  The Sentinel : Just touch your anchor over there, and when you wake up, you'll be fully empowered.

  Harry Greenwood : We can't thank you enough.

  The Sentinel : Just remember, nothing in life or death is without consequence.
