The Magician

Complete revise of story

1.  Old man walks down a hallway with his young grandson
2. They pass many portraits on the walls, some images and items bring back memories for the old man as he gently smiles as he walks past.
3. They look in the neatly displayed ornaments and wand's throughout the many halls
4. mannequins stand quietly on watch of the precious items
5. finally the corridor opens out to a large round room in which a golden telescope is displayed in the centre. This was a special telescope unlike you had ever seen before.
6. holding up his hand to the glass it melts away, fascinating the young boy as he watches quietly from behind the old man.
7. He summons the boy to go and retrieve the telescope, at first he's a bit cumbersome due to its size, but he steadies himself and looks at the magician.
8. He smiles and walks to a blank wall, he stops to make sure the boy is close. The boy puts down the heavy telescope. He gets the boy to point the telescope towards the wall and look through it, at first the boy is confused, but is obedient and looks at the wall. 
9. To his awe, he can see a door with a round room inside and a white light coming down from the ceiling.
10. Startled he looks up from the telescope to see the very door he had just seen right in front of him with the magician standing by it.
11. The magician walks through the doorway where the boy follows quickly holding the telescope awkwardly.
12. Looking around, the boy can see more portraits, these ones were worn and tattered, looking like they had been around for many hundreds of years, each of them bordered by two red curtains.
13. The magician stops in the middle of the podium where the boy follows, for the brief moment they are on the floor the young boy can see different complicated symbols and numerals all encoded around the podium.
14. With a quick flick of the magician's arm the podium rises into the light, the boy looks up squinting from the light shining onto his face, the golden telescope shining in his arms.
15. As they reached the top the young boy realises they are on top of the old museum.
16. The magician points to three grooves in the podium that the boy had not noticed before.
17. The Magician steps off allowing the boy to place the telescope into position.
18. The old man then proceeds in showing the star systems that symbolise all the previous magicians and that they'll always be there to guide him through life and forever be in his heart.
19. The boy soon realises that this will be the final time he will be seeing his Grandfather as a tear roll's down his cheek.
20. He wipes away the tear from the boy's face and twists the rings around the telescope pointing it at him. He stands back as a beam of light hits him and envelops him in light then fades away, showing the final smile on his face before he disappears. 
21. The boy quickly grabs the telescope and looks through it and watches as a new star appears in the sky.
22. Camera cut's to being inside to the museum halls where at the end of a corridor a mannequin with his outfit and all of his props appears all neatly in a glass cabinet being overlooked by a portrait of the magician all being lit by numerous candles and photographs surrounding the area.

Story - Update

1. In a small village lived a wizard, he was loved and well-known throughout the town, he was loved and well known for his famous vanishing and teleportation tricks.
2. Over the years the magician became old and clumsy, making the magic he had done in his youth look obviously fake, because of this people started classifying him as the local nuisance, a waste of time and started to hate him.
3. The Village once full of love and kindness had changed too much and the magician decided that he had had enough.
4. That evening he decides to steal a most precious item - A gift passed through the generations, a Telescope lined with gold on a three-pronged stand.This rare and beautiful item was on display right in the middle of the village in a Museum. 
5. The Magician was still good at magic but due to his old age wasn't as powerful as he used to be, meaning he needed to get close enough to the telescope for him to use his magic and steal it from the display cabinet.
6. Under the cover of darkness, he went using stealth and some clumsy teleportation to get him in front of the cabinet. There it was, the Golden Telescope the images on the walls watched him as he performed his magic.
7. Just like that the telescope was his, a huge burden on his heart weighed him down and he retreats from the museum as the lights turn on and sirens start screeching.
8. The Villagers were furious they hunted him through the village, threatening his existence over the beloved Telescope.
9. Days turned to weeks and still no sign of the Telescope, anger turned to despair as the village start to realize what they had done, they had forgotten on what this village was built upon many many years ago, magic and love.
10. Before the Village had existed a single man came walking through this land, looking for some land using the Golden telescope, he had wanted to settle down from being on the move and have a true home he could call his own, in the nearby towns he put up posters and signs saying about several shows he was going to perform. Time went on and more and more people came from further and further distances to watch his performances. And where people were food stalls started appearing, then markets, then houses, all due to this one magician, time went on and his little spot became a gorgeous little village, filled with love and magic, when the man passed away his son and the village decided in memory of him to create a museum in memory of the magician and his travels and place his telescope.
11. After the son had lived a good and happy life he passed down the telescope to his son, and this is the son that the village turned against.
12. After two weeks the magician returned walking down the street with his telescope, no one said anything, they just watched as he walked slowly to the museum and placed the telescope back where it belonged.
13. He comes out of the museum to a whole crowd of people cheering and applauding, finally, the magician has got the love he was looking for
14. Cutscene to a statue of the magician holding a telescope being assembled on a podium in front of the museum, as a reminder to love one another as this village was assembled from magic and love.
