00:00:00I
00:00:36Help! Fog demons are coming after me!
00:00:40Save me!
00:00:55The Celestial Trinity is coming.
00:00:57Go to the Inner Sanctum. Hurry.
00:01:04He's holding the demons back for now. Now go.
00:01:12Please stay safe, Father.
00:01:30Get it out, protect them! Now!
00:01:36You are our last line of defense. The kingdom rests in your hands.
00:01:39Celestial Trinity, save us!
00:01:51I'm sorry, Your Highness. We can't defeat them. This is the Doral army.
00:01:56They are no ordinary evil. This army is led by the Dark Lord. That ancient demon is more powerful than
00:02:02all of us combined.
00:02:03And when he kills us, he grows stronger. He feasts on dead souls.
00:02:09Does this mean the kingdom of Vern is doomed?
00:02:11No, not yet. There's only one man that can save us.
00:02:14Who?
00:02:14The one who taught us everything. The most powerful mage in history.
00:02:18Shh!
00:02:19The Oracle Mentor.
00:02:20But the Oracle Mentor has been in hiding for 20 years, since he last sealed away the Dark Lord.
00:02:24How could we find him?
00:02:34You dark goons got nothing better to do?
00:02:36Eden! Run!
00:02:41The sky's falling!
00:02:46Then prop it up. It's no big deal.
00:02:51Time for your workout, chubby boy. You're on fighting evil duty.
00:03:05You get an extra snack if you make it quick. Don't think you got away with it.
00:03:15Two little pets are more than enough for this predictable Dor al-Ami. It'll be a piece of cake.
00:03:26Good lord. I can't believe my eyes. Is that a hellhaut?
00:03:28And a phoenix? It's him! Our mentor! He's back!
00:03:34Huh. So this is just a pale imitation?
00:03:39Doesn't matter. I'll kill it just the same.
00:03:53It must be the Oracle Mentor! He showed up just in time!
00:03:57He saved Vern again.
00:04:01Look! There's a message!
00:04:03I'm retired. Can't you guys work harder? Can't even beat a pale imitation?
00:04:07We'll double our training. But the rift you sealed has now reopened.
00:04:11If its true form shows itself, we're counting on you, Mentor.
00:04:18When darkness descends, I shall stand between it and all mankind.
00:04:38God-like power. Ancient magic pulses through these lands.
00:04:44A hellhound? A phoenix? A master sage must lie just beyond us.
00:04:50My lord, the king is waiting.
00:04:54No. We must meet with this mysterious sage.
00:04:58He could be the savior of our kingdom.
00:05:00He could be the savior of our kingdom.

00:32:56How could you make a mistake with such a simple command?
00:33:00Auction?
00:33:00Of course.
00:33:01The Doral army is on the move.
00:33:03War with the Dark Lord approaches.
00:33:06Every guest here has been asked to provide one artifact for the royal auction.
00:33:11I'm sure you brought something worthy since you were invited, right?
00:33:19Auctioning off treasures to fund the war, right?
00:33:22You lads really know how to throw a party.

00:33:27Dad, enough.
00:33:28This isn't some village market.
00:33:30You barged in here without even telling me.
00:33:33Do you have anything prepared?
00:33:34You did very well.
00:33:36We haven't got any so-called treasures.
00:33:38All the proceeds go to the royal war fund.
00:33:39If your offer is deemed insincere, it's considered disloyal to the kingdom.
00:33:42Oh, I see.
00:33:44So loyalty is measured in gold now, is it?
00:33:46Dad, quieter.
00:33:47Their wealth and titles aren't what I want.
00:33:50But without the king's favour to get on council, how will I achieve anything?
00:33:54Duke Sillian's going to be here.
00:33:56I can't let him thinking I'm too low-born to help.
00:33:59Garrett, come take your seats.
00:34:01The auction is about to begin.
00:34:03Don't worry.
00:34:04Even if all you've got is a sack of potatoes fresh from the dirt,
00:34:07we promise not to judge cow shit on them.
00:34:12My lords, please excuse my father.
00:34:14He's not feeling well.
00:34:16What are you talking about?
00:34:17I feel fantastic.
00:34:18More fit than you, son.
00:34:20Oh, sure.
00:34:20Farming keeps him fit, if you ignore his rotted brain.
00:34:23That peasant's son will never be one of us.
00:34:26Garrett, if your father insists on participating, why not ask him to stay?
00:34:31The auction's about to begin.
00:34:33My lords and ladies, if you'd follow through.
00:34:40Leave the snacks!
00:34:49Duke, it's the highest honor of my life to greet you in person.
00:34:54The auction has already begun, and the nobles will be pleased to see you.
00:34:58Allow me to take you in.
00:35:01My lord?
00:35:05I can't let the famed oracle see me in such an unpresentable state.
00:35:10My lord?
00:35:12Find me a room.
00:35:13I need bath.
00:35:18We came here to protect the kingdom, while others, I suppose, have come here for the free wine and leftovers.
00:35:26Look at the state of his boots.
00:35:30Ten generations of his family couldn't scrape together one single treasure.
00:35:36What could he possibly offer?
00:35:39Don't touch that.
00:35:40Sorry.
00:35:44Hey.
00:35:48Over here.
00:35:58Since we have a special guest today, I'll repeat the rules.
00:36:04Excuse me!
00:36:07Now is not the time for snacks!
00:36:10Sir!
00:36:12So ridiculous.
00:36:14I'm sorry. Couldn't help myself.
00:36:18Sir!
00:36:19Listen closely.
00:36:22All auction items are donated by the guests.
00:36:26The donor and their relatives may not bit on their own items.
00:36:31Now, as long as there's no objection, let the auction begin.
00:36:36Yes!
00:36:39Count Roderick Whitherd
00:36:45Offers a dawnfire chalice, blessed by the god of dawn.
00:36:52Starting bid, 300,000 gold coins.
00:36:55That's a legendary relic.
00:36:58That's worth over a million gold on the black market.
00:37:00Count Roderick's devotion to Verne could move the gods to tears.
00:37:04It's just a stupid cup my old pal Dawn used to drink water from.
00:37:08I don't see what all the fuss is about.
00:37:11What did you say, Dad?
00:37:12I didn't quite catch that.
00:37:14Uh, uh, uh, uh, it's a lovely cup.
00:37:18Vitchort Alex Sunblade offers a dragon egg.
00:37:24Birthed over 1,000 years ago by Schmeagle the Moth.
00:37:28Starting bid, 200,000 gold coins.
00:37:31Lady Annie Dewey.
00:37:35Presents a silver thread cloak.
00:37:37It's immune to blades and arrows.
00:37:40Starting bid, 400,000 gold coins.
00:37:44Sir Garrett Thorne.
00:37:46A knight paramount.
00:37:48He offers a portrait of the legendary oracle.
00:37:53That's correct.
00:37:54How peculiar.
00:37:56Count Roderick also holds a portrait of the oracle.
00:37:59Painted by Maestro Mello.
00:38:04What?
00:38:09Garrett, this is the charity auction for the royal treasury.
00:38:12Have you bought a fake?
00:38:13I would never disrespect this auction house with a fake!
00:38:15Sir, Garrett, are you accusing Count Roderick of being in possession of a fake?
00:38:21Absolutely not. I'm simply saying the portrait I bought is a family heirloom.
00:38:27It's real.
00:38:28Of course.
00:38:30Even a fake could be your peasant family's treasure.
00:38:33Are you quite certain that it's a family heirloom?
00:38:37Absolutely.
00:38:38Right?
00:38:40Dad?
00:38:41Mello begged me to sit for that portrait 20 years ago.
00:38:44I said yes, of course.
00:38:46But I'm not the biggest fan of how it turned out bit too into his abstract expressionism.
00:38:52What?
00:38:52Insolent Rhett!
00:38:54How dare you say that, Master Mello painted garbage!
00:38:58That portrait is of the oracle mentor, our kingdom's guardian.
00:39:03We've had 20 years of peace because of him.
00:39:07And you claim to be the model?
00:39:10Nonsense!
00:39:11Well, maybe I am.
00:39:12Please, no more words.
00:39:14There'll be real consequences.
00:39:15Just telling the truth.
00:39:18My lords, please forgive my father's ignorance.
00:39:21It is clear to me now our portrait is a fake.
00:39:25You fool us by bringing a fake.
00:39:28Commoner with no family lineage.
00:39:29How could he possibly own anything of value?
00:39:32Poor Garrett.
00:39:33A knight to have a father like that.
00:39:36Unfortunate.
00:39:37Enough!
00:39:38Sir Garrett's loyalty is unquestionable.
00:39:41We've all seen it.
00:39:44Thank you, my lord.
00:39:45Should we resume the auction?
00:39:47My lord, all attendees must donate a gift.
00:39:50It's a mandatory rule.
00:39:51Well, he's a lowborn knight.
00:39:53Make this exception.
00:39:54Just this once.
00:39:56But my lord, that wouldn't be fair to other.
00:40:01No need for exceptions.
00:40:02Me and my father will leave.
00:40:04Let's go, Dad.
00:40:05Leave?
00:40:06We just got here.
00:40:07Dad, please.
00:40:08I'm begging you.
00:40:09What's the rush?
00:40:10If this old rubbish counts as his treasure, then your old dad's got a whole host of treasure back home.
00:40:16Dad, snap out of it.
00:40:18You're a twenty-year farmer.
00:40:21Barely enough to get by and half gone to poor mage apprentice.
00:40:24There's no way you have anything worthy of this auction.
00:40:29My lord, please forget my father.
00:40:32He's clueless about noble etiquette.
00:40:35He and I will leave.
00:40:36Wait.
00:40:38Garrett, you serve in Aura with your father's secrets, maybe deeper than you know.
00:40:44He has treasure.
00:40:46Well, show this.
00:40:47War funds demand every coin, gold or copper.
00:40:53I'm just curious.
00:40:55What treasure could your father possibly offer?
00:40:58Now, bring me paints and canvas.
00:41:01Canvas?
00:41:01What are you doing?
00:41:02I'm going to paint a new portrait of the Oracle.
00:41:05If this one's fake, I'm just going to wrestle up a new one.
00:41:08Dad, no!
00:41:09They won't mess with you.
00:41:11I'll find another way out for us.
00:41:12Bring him what he needs.
00:41:14Your dad can paint.
00:41:19Garrett!
00:41:21If it's ugly, don't make me bid on it.
00:41:25My lord.
00:41:27Why waste your time with these peasants?
00:41:29Let the clown have his way.
00:41:31It's my chance to get back at Garrett.
00:41:34No one bids on the painting.
00:41:36And I will graciously buy it.
00:41:38Then the Knight Paramount will owe me a favor.
00:41:41An excellent strategy, my lord.
00:41:45That's it?
00:41:46You're done?
00:41:47Yes.
00:41:48I mean, it's not bad.
00:41:50Can't rush art.
00:41:51You see?
00:41:54No.
00:41:56Oh my goodness!
00:42:00That's impossible.
00:42:05That's impossible!
00:42:08Goodness.
00:42:09Jeez!
00:42:11You actually painted that.
00:42:13I mean, didn't have much time, so I didn't use all my talent, but it'll do.
00:42:18You're not serious, are you?
00:42:19With this painting, it's...
00:42:21What about it?
00:42:22You're calling...
00:42:24This a portrait of the Oracle?
00:42:26That's just...
00:42:28A stick figure!
00:42:31A huge insult!
00:42:33You're being quite disrespectful, my friend.
00:42:35You dare call this the famed Oracle mentor?
00:42:37This is...
00:42:39Outrageous.
00:42:39Behold!
00:42:40His so-called masterpiece.
00:42:42A blind toddler could draw better.
00:42:44No hint of resemblance at all.
00:42:45I...
00:42:46I think it's pretty accurate.
00:42:47Another piece of trash.
00:42:49Stop!
00:42:50That way?
00:42:50Are you sure you want to destroy this?
00:42:54I...
00:42:56Put it down.
00:42:57That's no way to act.
00:42:59As bad as it is, it does show Mr. Thorn's devotion.
00:43:04You can't ruin it.
00:43:05A thousand apologies, my lord.
00:43:07I was just...
00:43:09Outraged.
00:43:10You have given Sir Garrett every chance, and this is what they bring?
00:43:14He's trying to humiliate you and everyone else present.
00:43:21Is that right?
00:43:23Absolutely not.
00:43:24Never.
00:43:25Well, in confidence or insult, we'll find out soon enough.
00:43:28Why not start bidding on this masterpiece?
00:43:33Okay, everyone.
00:43:34Back to your seats.
00:43:39Well, well, well.
00:43:41What should the starting bid be?
00:43:44Half a copper moin.
00:43:47Half?
00:43:48This is fine art.
00:43:49I'm being generous.
00:43:50It's more than it's worth.
00:43:54I'm being generous.
00:43:55It's more than it's worth.
00:43:57You think it's worthless?
00:43:59This is an original thorn.
00:44:02Dad, cut it out.
00:44:03Do not mess with these nobles.
00:44:05They'll punish you without mercy.
00:44:06Son.
00:44:08Ladies and gentlemen, let the auction begin again.
00:44:14Our first item is a portrait of the Oracle by Eden Thorn.
00:44:24As you can see, even the wisest of critics would fail to find a shred of artistry in it.
00:44:29Our starting bid is...
00:44:31Half a copper coin.
00:44:33You'd be insane to bid on that.
00:44:34Maybe if you're out of toilet paper.
00:44:37The canvas seems absorbent.
00:44:40One copper boin.
00:44:42Guessing someone really is desperate.
00:44:44Sorry, I seem to be out of firewood.
00:44:47One copper coin.
00:44:48Going once.
00:44:49One copper coin.
00:44:51Going twice.
00:44:52Two coppers.
00:44:54Two and a half.
00:44:59Little Ivy, do you want to bid on it?
00:45:02You could put it above your fireplace?
00:45:05Dad, cut it out!
00:45:06Go leave Lady Ivy out of this.
00:45:08Please forgive him, my lady.
00:45:10Of course I do.
00:45:12But I'm not yet worthy of such a masterpiece.
00:45:15I beg your pardon?
00:45:18Ten gold coins?
00:45:21Only a count could bid gold on toilet paper.
00:45:26I'm out.
00:45:27Ten gold coins by Count Roderick. Any higher?
00:45:31Thank you, my lord.
00:45:32Garrett, your father's actions aren't your burden.
00:45:35Let this purchase settle it.
00:45:37Come with me and I'll take you under my wing
00:45:39so you don't fall into his step.
00:45:41Such generosity from the Count.
00:45:43Truly above approach.
00:45:45Ten gold coins for that disaster?
00:45:47Roderick must really want Garrett on his side.
00:45:50My lord.
00:45:51I won't forget this kindness.
00:45:53I am yours to command.
00:45:54Oh, so.
00:45:55Ten gold coins is all it takes to buy you, is it?
00:45:58It's not about the money.
00:45:59You have caused nothing but trouble.
00:46:01Uh, son, I don't think that we should-
00:46:03First the banquet, now the auction.
00:46:04I have fought so hard to carve out a spot in the capital for myself.
00:46:08For you.
00:46:08And you act like my career or predicament don't matter at all.
00:46:12I can't take it anymore.
00:46:14Count Roderick is the only one who shows us any respect.
00:46:18That is worth way more than ten gold coins.
00:46:20What if someone just bids it a little bit higher?
00:46:24No one wants that painting.
00:46:25Those bids are just to humiliate us.
00:46:27We're nothing but a joke to them.
00:46:29So, your father finds my offer dissatisfying.
00:46:32Well, I'll reject my bid.
00:46:34No, Count Roderick, wait!
00:46:35I'll take it.
00:46:42I'll take it.
00:46:44Duke Sillian?
00:46:46I bid one million gold coins.
00:46:49What?
00:46:50No, no.
00:46:51Ten million.
00:46:52Ten million?
00:46:54What?
00:46:54No.
00:47:04Please don't bow for me, my lord.
00:47:06I can't accept the honor.
00:47:10Duke Sillian just bowed at Lord Roderick?
00:47:13That's impossible.
00:47:14The Duke outranks him.
00:47:15Looks like we all underestimated Lord Roderick.
00:47:18Anyone who's able to host the Harvest Banquet clearly has a lot more than just inherited titles.
00:47:24That's what a real man should be like.
00:47:25I taught you nothing, son.
00:47:27That isn't what a real man is.
00:47:29Dad, what are you talking about?
00:47:31Hmm?
00:47:31They'll take your words as treason.
00:47:33My lord, please forgive my father's disrespect.
00:47:35He is old and confused and...
00:47:40Broken another rule, have I?
00:47:41Our kingdom values free speech.
00:47:45Your unrepentant, repulsive actions have consequences.
00:47:49Will you leave voluntarily or shall I call the guard?
00:47:54No, no, no, no need.
00:47:56I'll show myself out.
00:48:00Don't worry.
00:48:02Will wait me.
00:48:04Yes, sir.
00:48:05Duke Sillian, wait!
00:48:07What are you doing?
00:48:09Did you think I was bowing to you?
00:48:10I was there.
00:48:11He wasn't.
00:48:12I was a doula.
00:48:16It was very close.
00:48:18That's right.
00:48:19The duke was.
00:48:20Dude, you didn't tell me!
00:48:21Your dad was friends with the friggin' Duke!
00:48:25I...
00:48:26Lord Roderick?
00:48:27No need to call me Lord Roderick.
00:48:29It's so distant.
00:48:31Just call me Roderick.
00:48:32Yes, Lord. I mean, sir. I mean, Roderick. Roderick.
00:48:38Sir Garrett, I, uh, I didn't get to tell you how much I admire your father.
00:48:43A man serving quietly in the countryside, it's the backbone this Hengdon needs.
00:48:49Farmers are Verne's foundation, after all.
00:48:52You flatter me, Lady Annie.
00:48:54I was clearly too ignorant to appreciate the painting's subtle brilliance.
00:48:58Look at these curved lines, and this rich black ink, and this empty space. So bold, Sir Garrett.
00:49:05I've heard tales of your talent I am barrened. Brian missed.
00:49:10Dearest Garrett, you must come visit. The riverbanks are simply enchanting.
00:49:15Don't listen to that. Sir Garrett, come drink the finest wine in Auro with me tomorrow night.
00:49:19Hey, back off. Garrett and I were best buds back in the Magic Academy.
00:49:24And anyway, me and Garrett have plans tomorrow night, don't we, Garrett?
00:49:28Let's not overwhelm, Sir Garrett. We have an auction to finish.
00:49:39Garrett, are you mad at me?
00:49:41What? No, not at all.
00:49:43Well, why didn't you tell me the truth about the relationship between your father and the Duke Cillian?
00:49:49I...
00:49:58Mentor.
00:49:59It's such an honor to have you here.
00:50:01Your return will rekindle hope across all of Ver...
00:50:04Don't call me Mentor.
00:50:06I have never taught you.
00:50:08Nor have I passed down any prophecies.
00:50:11Mentor.
00:50:11But Mentor, you...
00:50:14You sheltered the kingdom.
00:50:15You defended the weak.
00:50:17Many mages, me included, were so inspired by your unwavering justice.
00:50:22How could I not call you Mentor?
00:50:26That's my master.
00:50:28Oh, yes, yes, yes. It's Isabella.
00:50:32She's not coming to see me, is she?
00:50:34Not with that grand entrance.
00:50:35The whole of Aura with will know.
00:50:37Bit dramatic, isn't it?
00:50:39I'm sure she's just trying to impress you, Mentor.
00:50:42You are quite a big deal.
00:50:44And with the Dark Lord's threat...
00:50:46Yes, yes, yes.
00:50:47Well, let us see how much little Isabella is actually needed.
00:50:53Stellar drift.
00:50:55Blood moon in a dark sky.
00:50:57An omen of disaster.
00:51:00Cillian Vinfield.
00:51:01At your command.
00:51:02Return to the Harvest Hall.
00:51:03Immediately.
00:51:04You mean...
00:51:05The Dark Lord curses to breach the light barrier.
00:51:08Protect the young.
00:51:09Don't let the shadows infect them.
00:51:11Yes, sir.
00:51:17Huh?
00:51:20Lady Annie, is everything alright?
00:51:25Yes, I'm fine.
00:51:26Any persons who command the vines and the trees...
00:51:29That's the High Priestess.
00:51:32Lady Vinewood.
00:51:33She was the Oracle's first apprentice.
00:51:36After he disappeared, she became the most powerful mage on the continent.
00:51:39To control trees in the heart of Aura with...
00:51:42That can only be the High Priestess's might.
00:51:45High Priestess?
00:51:48What did you say?
00:51:50Oh, just like that.
00:51:52Someday I hope to be as strong as Priestess Isabella.
00:51:56You are already a level 7.
00:51:58High Priestess had achieved level 9 by the time she is 20.
00:52:01That's real talent.
00:52:03Genius among geniuses.
00:52:05We are all, but compared to her, just amateurs.
00:52:09Sadly, you're right, Lord Roderick.
00:52:11But still, don't be discouraged.
00:52:13You still have an invite to the banquets.
00:52:15You're still part of the elite.
00:52:16We're not even in the same league as the Celestial Trinity, let alone the Oracle Mentor.
00:52:21They've walked paths we can't fathom.
00:52:23High Priestess Isabella, Sage Elaine, Guardian Arthur, all three have hit demigod level.
00:52:28The Oracle is even more powerful than my master.
00:52:31I dare not imagine his limits.
00:52:34I would be happy to see the High Priestess in my lifetime.
00:52:37However, to meet the Oracle, I would die with no regrets.
00:52:44Lord Cillian, you've returned.
00:52:47And Mr. Edenthorne?
00:52:49Mentor had a couple of things to do first, so he asked me to return.
00:52:53Please go on.
00:52:55Mentor?
00:52:57Er, are you trying to tell me that Sir Garrett's father is the Oracle Mentor?
00:53:03Wait, wait, wait, what?
00:53:04My dad?
00:53:06Oracle?
00:53:07Yes, your father is my mentor.
00:53:09What?
00:53:10Garrett, your dad is the Oracle?
00:53:12Why are you so confounded in your thoughts, dear boy?
00:53:15Yes, he was the first one to guide me in magic.
00:53:18Hence, he is my mentor.
00:53:20So he was the first person that mentored you?
00:53:22We have an auction to resume.
00:53:23Hold it.
00:53:24The portrait of the mentor.
00:53:25Are there any more bids?
00:53:27No, no more.
00:53:28Give it to me.
00:53:28I'd like to take a closer look.
00:53:30Would you like to admire it?
00:53:34Is there a problem?
00:53:35No, sir.
00:53:36Let the auction begin again.
00:53:39Mentor's last words must have reason.
00:53:41Could the Dark Leodort have already infiltrated this place?
00:53:47Lord Roderick, that was terrifying.
00:53:49For a second, I actually thought Garrett's father was the legendary Oracle Mentor.
00:53:56Come on, the Duke only thought it was the Oracle because he mentored him early on.
00:54:00Lady Ivy, all the respect you showed my father, was it because he was Lord Sillian's mentor?
00:54:06You could say that.
00:54:10Something's off with her.
00:54:15The Blood Miss Curse.
00:54:24The Blood Miss Curse.
00:54:38Miss Annie, are you...
00:54:45Miss...
00:54:46Dewey, stand down!
00:54:49Eyes Red, Aura of the Shadow.
00:54:51She's possessed by the Dark Lord.
00:54:59How dare you hurt my sister.
00:55:04I'll make you pay for that.
00:55:07Stop!
00:55:15It's the Blood Missed Curse.
00:55:17Blood Missed Curse?
00:55:18The Blood Missed is a sign of the Dark Lord's curse.
00:55:21It spreads among living beings, turning the cursed into living bombs.
00:55:25Anyone below level 9 is practically dead.
00:55:29Everyone, summon your elemental powers, now!
00:55:32Cure the curse or die!
00:56:01Oh dear god, no!
00:56:07Life rots. The Dark Lord will transcend all.
00:56:16Dear Duke Cillian, will you be my first offering?
00:56:27Oh, what a load of crap! And what is that smell? Oh god, I'm gonna throw up. Excuse me. Oh,
00:56:36hello.
00:56:40Oh, what a load of crap! And what is that smell? Oh god, I'm gonna throw up. Excuse me.
00:56:48Mental. Dad, get out of here!
00:56:52It smells like a rotting corpse out here. Why isn't he affected by the Blood Mist Curse?
00:56:57The Blood Mist Curse only affects mages. He looks like he is a commoner after all.
00:57:04Don't come any closer, Dad! Why not? What are you planning on doing that requires me to leave?
00:57:10Oh, hello. What's this kid doing? Is it... is it a bit of roleplay?
00:57:17Dad, she's possessed by the Dark Lord. Anyone who touches the Blood Mist will explode. Leave!
00:57:24Bit of an overreaction, huh?
00:57:26Worsens for stronger mages. Look, Duke Cillian can't even speak. You're our only hope. Go get help!
00:57:32By the time someone else gets here, you're all gonna be charred. So, I'll handle this.
00:57:37Dad! Don't get any closer!
00:57:39Garrett! Your dad's lost his mind! It's gone! It's all gone!
00:57:46You must have a death wish.
00:57:51Little children shouldn't play with swords. Put it down, child.
00:57:56Garrett! Your dad has lost his mind! If that thing blows, we're all done for!
00:58:00Even if I die, I promise I'm coming back to haunt... Trust me. Put it down.
00:58:06Dirt! Stop! You'll explode us all!
00:58:20There we go.
00:58:23Garrett Identhorne. You nearly had us all killed. What's so funny?
00:58:29Oh dear.
00:58:31I can't move. What's happening? The Blood Mist is gone.
00:58:38Don't touch her!
00:58:42We told you, the Blood Mist curse explodes every living being from within!
00:58:49You lads need to learn to relax.
00:58:52There's no explosion. But how? Isn't your dad a living being?
00:58:58What are you talking about?
00:59:08What the hell is wrong with all of you? A girl faints, you don't come to help her?
00:59:12Where's the chivalry?
00:59:17Gareth!
00:59:19Get this girl to a healing sanctuary.
00:59:22Dad, she's being possessed by the Dark Lord. It's too dangerous to touch her. Let go!
00:59:28You're all gonna die!
00:59:32She's about to self-destruct! Watch out!
00:59:34Dad!
00:59:36Dad!
00:59:43The tides! The powerful tides! It's the Sage Elaine!
00:59:56This Aura is my father!
00:59:58The Oracle's Disciples, the Celestial Trinity are in Aurawick. We're saved!
01:00:03Dad!
01:00:04Grandrod Master Arthur!
01:00:06It's just a projection. He's here to send us a message, not converse. There's no need for formalities.
01:00:12Little Arthur, controlling his fire more smithly than ever, good lad.
01:00:16The King has issued an urgent order. The corruption spread past Aurawick's outskirts.
01:00:22The Doral army is gearing up to act. The King summons mages level 6 and above to the castle for
01:00:29deployment. Ivy Ember, Cillian Vinewood, follow me.
01:00:40Get this girl to a sanctuary.
01:00:43We'll see you next time.
01:00:43You
