00:00The camera pans over.
00:05The camera pans over towering stone walls entwined with ivy and floating candles.
00:09A young man.
00:10Eli Hawthorne steps hesitantly into the Grand Hall.
00:13His best friend, F.I.
00:15A, bumps his shoulder playfully.
00:17F.I.A says, Nervous, Dragonheart?
00:20This is the school for magical orphans, not a tea party.
00:24Eli.
00:25Sipping a worn journal says, This isn't just a school.
00:28My father left clues here.
00:30I have to find him.
00:31A tall man with a silver braid in his hair.
00:34Professor.
00:35Thorn approaches.
00:36His eyes lock onto Eli's journal.
00:39Professor Thorn says,
00:40You've come for answers, Eli.
00:42But some doors should remain shut.
00:45Eli responds.
00:46I'm not leaving until I know the truth.
00:49Thorn sighs.
00:50Leading them deeper into the academy.
00:52The camera lingers on a dusty, forbidden sh**.
00:55Shelf labeled sealed tomes.
00:57Eli, unable to sleep, sneaks into the restaurant.
01:00The nightly restricted section.
01:01He opens a glowing tome.
01:03The shadows packed.
01:04An accidental mirror.
01:05He can see the double-shedged eyes and his eyes.
01:06His eyes open.
01:07The shadows packed.
01:08His eyes close, his eyes open.
01:09He's not left.
01:10He's not left.
01:11He was in amarksgt.
01:12His eyes open.
01:13He is holding.
01:14His eyes open.
01:15He's in a glowing beard.
01:16His eyes open.
01:17He's in a hallway.
01:19He's in a hallway.
01:21He's in aα»n.
01:23His eyes open.
01:25He opens.
01:27You need the Lightkeeper's Lens, a relic hidden in the Academy's heart.
01:32But the Shadow will stop you.
01:33The Shadow materializes as a towering, jagged ray.
01:37Spreading corruption.
01:39Flowers wither.
01:40Statues crumble.
01:41FIA
01:42And Eli Sprint, the lens case in hand.
01:45FIA yells Eli the journal.
01:47Your dad's notes.
01:49Eli flips through pages, finding a diagram.
01:52Only a blood of the Pact conceal the shadow.
01:55He freezes.
01:56Blood of the Pact.
01:57That means.
01:58The Shadow lunges at Lila, who remains motionless.
02:02Eli steps forward.
02:04Clashing spells with the Wraith.
02:06The lens shatters.
02:07Casting pure light.
02:08But the Shadow mocks him.
02:10You are too late, boy.
02:12Your father failed.
02:13You will too.
02:14Eli stumbles.
02:15Then notices Thorn.
02:17Watching silently.
02:18The Professor steps into the light.
02:20You knew my father.
02:22Yes.
02:23I am your father.
02:24Flashback.
02:25Young Thorn as Kale.
02:27Signs a magical pact to the Shadow.
02:29Sacrificing his family to protect the world.
02:32The cost.
02:33Erasing his past.
02:34Hiding Eli as an infant.
02:36All the.
02:37This time.
02:38The Shadow feeds on lies.
02:40The truth.
02:41Is your power.
02:42Eli.
02:42Now embracing his role as the light keeper.
02:45Channels the lens.
02:46The Shadow shrieks.
02:47Unraveling as Thorn holds Lila.
02:49Breaking the enchantment.
02:50Her eyes.
02:52Snap open.
02:53Tears streaming.
02:54Lila Eli.
02:55I thought I'd lost you.
02:56Yell.
02:57Lie.
02:58Not anymore.
02:59The Academy heals.
03:00Sunlight piercing through clouds.
03:02Eli and Thorn share a tentative smile.
03:04Father and son.
03:05In the shadows of our past.
03:07Our pasts lie the light of our futures.
03:08Our pasts lie the light of our futures.
03:12Christ of God.
03:14Amen.
03:15Peace.
03:16Peace.
03:17Thank you for now.
