00:08I
00:48Marchmaster Anna!
00:57My story begins seven years ago.
01:12What did I tell you about your stupid magic?
01:14Ivy wanted some meat.
01:16That's for my grandson.
01:17You girls don't deserve it.
01:21This family's future is sitting right here.
01:24My grandson, he's gonna be a knight in the king's court.
01:28Maybe just a little bit for the girls.
01:30I said shut your mouth, stupid woman!
01:36They're just gonna marry out anyway, Ma.
01:39What's the point?
01:44Luke, they're your sisters.
01:48Luke's right.
01:50Soon as they marry, they're gone.
01:52Ain't gonna give this family a damning.
01:55Luke's our only future.
01:57Open in the name of the king.
02:05Luke, report to the castle for knight training within seven days.
02:08No delays.
02:10No delays.
02:12Father, I'm actually gonna be a knight!
02:17That's my boy!
02:20Oh, my golden boy!
02:22I knew it!
02:23I always knew it!
02:25Wait!
02:26Father, Grandma.
02:27The training camp, we have to pay.
02:29And I'll need coins for the journey.
02:31All told, a hundred pence or so.
02:33A hundred pence?
02:34We're in God's name of us to get that much money.
02:36You can get the money, yeah?
02:37I mean, once I'm a knight, we're Gentry.
02:39We're somebody!
02:43Luke's right.
02:45Whatever it takes, you're going.
02:48First thing tomorrow, I'm selling your sister.
02:55Father, what did you just say?
02:57Selling you to fund my knight training.
02:59What, you dare?
03:00Sell the older one first.
03:01She'll marry out anyway, we'll get a better price.
03:04No! Don't you dare!
03:06You raise your voice again and I'll sell you tonight!
03:09Which one of you is Anna?
03:11By the king's command, you have been accepted into the Ravenswild Academy of Magic!
03:25You did it, sis!
03:27All those knights, it paid off!
03:33Luke's training costs are killing us!
03:35You're not going!
03:36End of it!
03:37Grandma, the Academy's free.
03:39And I can earn my own way there.
03:41Don't even think about it.
03:43Your place is marrying well.
03:45Bringing in silver for Luke.
03:47Yeah.
03:47Worry about keeping your future husband happy instead.
03:55Father, I'm not asking for a single penny from this family.
03:58Going to Ravensville, learning magic, it's all I've ever dreamed of.
04:02Please, just let me go.
04:05Fifteen years we've fed you!
04:07Time you pay us back!
04:12I never asked to be born.
04:14Fifteen years, treated like dirt.
04:16Luke, always Luke.
04:18He gets a knight's train and you'd sell me for it.
04:20But me?
04:21The greatest magic academy in the kingdom and you won't let me go.
04:24No!
04:24Because we're girls, so we're nothing invisible, worthless!
04:32Look at you.
04:33Stubborn old mule, selling your own daughter like cattle.
04:37You're no father.
04:38Never were.
04:42David, enough!
04:44Don't hit her!
04:45Please don't hit her!
04:47Go get the old Higgins next door.
04:49We're selling her now.
04:52I won't let you sell me.
04:54I'm going to Ravensworld to learn magic, whether you like it or not!
05:12What are you doing?
05:13Let me go!
05:15Let me go!
05:16You want to be wild?
05:17Then we'll find you a man to teach you some manners!
05:20No!
05:21Please!
05:24Luke told you?
05:26Yeah.
05:27A hundred pence.
05:28She's yours.
05:33Stay away from me.
05:50No!
05:51No!
05:59Dark magic?
06:01You're...
06:01a witch!
06:02You should be burned!
06:04There's a witch in here!
06:06Help!
06:13Don't be afraid.
06:15He just passed out.
06:17Who are you?
06:19Denver.
06:19Master Dedvin?
06:20The Magus of Ravensworld?
06:22I've dreamed of going to Ravensworld my whole life.
06:24Of becoming a mage.
06:25Like you!
06:26That's why I'm here.
06:27You have boundless magic.
06:29But potential means nothing without control.
06:32You need to learn how to release it.
06:34Come with me.
06:41Vanish.
06:54They're coming, sweetheart.
06:56Take this.
06:57Go!
06:58I'll come.
06:59The one we shared.
07:01Promise me.
07:02No matter what.
07:03You'll remember us.
07:05Baby, before they catch up!
07:07Go!
07:08New worthless!
07:11New worthless girls!
07:12Stop right there!
07:13Get out!
07:14Get out!
07:15Get out!
07:16Mama.
07:17Ivy.
07:18I swear.
07:19I'll come back.
07:20I'll take you away from this hell.
07:41Sanare.
08:03For outstanding performance, Anna is appointed Teaching Assistant.
08:07She'll help take your magic to the next level.
08:18That's them.
08:19Anna's been gone a year.
08:20Never came back once.
08:21She went mad with dark magic.
08:23Old Higgins saw it with his own eyes.
08:25Killed someone with it.
08:26She's a wicked witch.
08:28Look what your daughter did!
08:30That little wretch brought shame on all of us!
08:35Anna's not like that.
08:36She would never...
08:36Then why is she afraid to come home?
08:38She sets foot here.
08:40I'll burn her!
08:41First in line!
09:02Take the throne.
09:04Rise as Archmind.
09:07Player of the Sun.
09:23Subscribe to the Alpha.
09:26I'll be difficile.
09:26I'll be difficile.
09:27Take the throne.
09:29Holy crap.
09:29I'll be guilty.
09:34I'll be guilty.
09:34March my Anna! March my Anna! March my Anna!
09:40Seven years. Mama. Ivy. Three more months and I can leave Ravenswill. I'm coming home. Finally.
09:51Archmaster Anna. The protective ward is officially being cast today. In your homeland. Good.
09:55Once it's sealed. No beasts. No sickness. Storms turn aside. Tell James to push forward. Faster.
10:01Understood. One more thing. Your grandmother. She's turning 70. The family's planning a celebration. Will you attend?
10:07She wouldn't want me there. And I still can't leave Ravenswill for three months.
10:13There's something else. About your sister.
10:21Ivy? Your brother's getting married. And your father, to pay for it, he's selling her off to a criminal.
10:27What? She's just a child. If they go through with this, her life is over. I have to go back.
10:35Now.
10:38I have to go back. Now.
10:42Go. I'll handle everything else here.
10:47You're my wife now. I'm with you always. Let me handle things here. Then I'll come find you.
10:54Thanks for coming, folks, to celebrate my mother's big day. I've got more good news to share. My youngest girl,
11:01Ivy.
11:02I've found her a perfect husband. Henry, come on up. Today, I've betrothed my daughter, Ivy, to this fine young
11:10man, Henry.
11:13Henry? The criminal? The one with all those charges?
11:16That's him. We've got royal connections, they say. Ivy marries him and his family's set for life.
11:21I'll put in a good word for you, court boy.
11:23She's yours now. All yours.
11:26No! I won't marry him!
11:28You'll marry Henry, whether you like it or not.
11:30I know what this is. Marry me off. He kills me, you take my blood.
11:36Offer it to the king's niece. Farter your way into royalty!
11:42Shut your mouth, you stupid girl! Enough of your nonsense!
11:46Well, take what's yours.
11:47Come on, darling. Time for our sweet night.
11:50No way! He's a criminal. Everyone knows gambling, rape, murder. He's done it all. You're destroying her!
11:56This is for her own good, I tell you. Henry's connected to the royals. You don't say no to that.
12:01Get your mother out of here. Over my dead body. One daughter ruined. Now you're after the next?
12:09Anna practices dark magic. She's a witch, and witches burn. I hereby banish her from this village. Forever. If she
12:16returns, she burns.
12:18Please! No! My lord, I'm begging you!
12:21Burn the witch! Burn Anna!
12:23Then take me! I'm her mother. I raised her. If anyone's to blame, it's me. Just leave Anna alone!
12:32You're the mother of a witch. That makes you guilty. You'll stand trial.
12:36Caesar!
12:40Mama! No!
12:41Do what you're told, or you'll burn right alongside her.
12:47Anna the witch came from your womb. Burn with your sin.
12:53And leave us in peace.
12:56No! No!
13:20Mama!
13:21Anna?
13:23You animals.
13:24Who dared touch my mother?
13:26You demon! You dare come back?
13:29You'll be the death of us all!
13:31I came back for one reason.
13:34To take Mama and Ivy away from you.
13:36From all of you.
13:37Like hell you will! Ivy's married now!
13:40You can do nothing about it!
13:42You sold Ivy like you sold me.
13:44What, still not close enough to the royals?
13:46Shut up!
13:47You put a spell on them, didn't you? Mother and Ivy.
13:49Turning them against us.
13:51They're choosing freedom. Something you wouldn't understand.
13:53Dark magic's poisoned your mind!
13:55We all know it! You're a witch!
13:57I learned magic.
13:59To patrol you use it!
14:00I never made it as a knight!
14:02Probably because you cursed me!
14:04No. Because you're useless.
14:07Liar!
14:07If you didn't curse me, let God strike me down right now!
14:13Hear that?
14:14Even God's had enough.
14:16Anything else to say?
14:17God's wrath?
14:18It's coming for us!
14:20The village is doomed!
14:22She'll destroy us all!
14:24We'll die because of her!
14:25You are a witch.
14:27You've angered God himself.
14:28You must pay.
14:30Seize her!
14:30She'll answer for this for all of us!
14:45Don't hurt my daughter!
14:52Shatter.
14:57The sack!
14:58It's glowing!
15:07Sis, you're amazing!
15:11Anna, how did you learn to do that?
15:14Long story.
15:16But trust me, I didn't learn dark magic.
15:20I knew it!
15:23I knew you wouldn't!
15:25You think I'm stupid like her?
15:28You expect me to believe your crap?
15:31We all saw it!
15:32Dark magic!
15:34Then where were you?
15:35Seven years.
15:36Not a single visit.
15:38What are you hiding?
15:40I couldn't leave Ravenswood.
15:42I was training.
15:44And now...
15:46I'm something more.
15:50I am Archmast.
15:58Did she really say Archmast?
16:00Archmast's answer only to the king himself!
16:02A farm girl like her, tied to the crown?
16:05Please!
16:06Sweetheart.
16:09Is it true?
16:12You're really an Archmast.
16:17It's true, Mama.
16:18Oh, my baby!
16:22I'm super proud of you!
16:27You actually believe her?
16:29Gods, you're gullible!
16:33Seven years and you're an Archmaster?
16:35What?
16:35Did you buy a diploma?
16:36Takes decades to reach that rank!
16:39He's right!
16:40Your brother's been grinding for years, still not a knight!
16:42And you expect us to believe you're an Archmaster?
16:45Archmaesters serve the king himself!
16:47You think you're better than Luke?
16:49You!
16:53So you don't believe me?
16:55Oh, I believe you.
16:55Believe you joined some cult.
16:57Lost your mind to dark magic.
16:58So here's the deal.
16:59You leave now and never come back.
17:01Or we burn you.
17:02I'm not letting you anywhere near my future wife!
17:06Flora's coming.
17:07Any minute now.
17:09Did you hear that?
17:10Luke's bride, Flora, is the king's niece!
17:14We'll be royalty!
17:18Still here?
17:19Fine.
17:20Don't blame me when blood's on your hands.
17:23I'll go.
17:25But Mama and Ivy come with me.
17:31Ivy's mine.
17:32You don't touch her.
17:39You destroy your brother's future!
17:41Is that what you want?
17:52Luke!
17:53What's the meaning of this?
17:55You were supposed to greet me.
17:59Flora, I've run into a little problem.
18:01I swear this will never happen again.
18:05Uh...
18:06Who is this woman?
18:13Uh...
18:13I don't know her.
18:15She has nothing to do with me.
18:17You must be Flora.
18:19I'm Anna, Luke's sister.
18:21You're Anna?
18:22The witch who practiced dark magic?
18:25You're mistaken.
18:27What's going on, Luke?
18:28Didn't you tell me this filth was dead?
18:32Honey, don't get upset.
18:33We'll kick her out right now.
18:35Yes, yes.
18:37All being his Flora's.
18:38Yes, darling, calm down.
18:40You want me to calm down?
18:47You said you could find a pure spirit to help me recover.
18:50That's why I agreed to marry you.
18:52I didn't lie to you.
18:55It's all this witch's fault.
18:57My lady, I had her captured.
19:00But I received the finitation.
19:01But that witch took her away.
19:03You can take my daughter anytime.
19:06Yes, it's all her fault.
19:21My arm!
19:22You're a witch!
19:23A devil!
19:26Where is the witch?
19:31Master James?
19:32The guardian mage of our village.
19:35Archmach Anna sent him.
19:36He's the one.
19:37Casting the protective ward.
19:39That woman looks familiar.
19:43Could it be?
19:44Who is she?
19:46That's Anna, David's girl.
19:48You're the so-called witch?
19:50She came back without warning, Master.
19:52Please, get rid of her.
19:53That's right.
19:54We didn't ask her to come back.
19:55Dr. James, you can't cast the ward with a witch here.
19:58Please, deal with her first.
20:00For the last time, I am not a witch.
20:03She's the one who took my arm!
20:06Devil worshipped her.
20:07You dare deny it?
20:11You really don't recognize me?
20:13What?
20:14Learn a few tricks and suddenly you're an archmaste?
20:18I am archmast.
20:20I sent my deputy Alice to assign you to this village.
20:24To cast my ward.
20:26Archmast Anna?
20:30Don't be fooled by her.
20:32We all just saw her use black magic.
20:35How could she possibly be the archmaste?
20:37Witch!
20:44Besides, archmaste Anna is my personal court-mage.
20:47She's with me every single day.
20:49How could this woman be?
20:51You devil!
20:52I almost fell for your lies!
20:55You say archmaste Anna is your personal court-mage?
20:58Funny, I've never heard of that.
21:00If you're really her, prove it!
21:03That's easy enough.
21:05I can stop the array formation right now.
21:09Fine, go ahead.
21:10I'd like to see what you're capable of.
21:23This place is back-corrupted by black magic.
21:25We must speed up the array formation.
21:29Had enough of your little act?
21:31Archmast Anna's protective array is immensely powerful.
21:35It repels wild beasts, blocks plague, and turns even wind and snow away.
21:39Your petty black magic can't even scratch it.
21:42You can choose not to believe me now.
21:44But when the gift I sent arrives, you'll have no choice but to believe.
21:48Gift?
21:49We should be thankful if you don't curse us with your black magic.
21:51Master James, take this lying witch away at once.
21:55Yes!
21:55Don't let her ruin my plans!
21:57Whoever helps me catch this witch gets a hefty reward!
22:09Don't you dare touch my mother and sister!
22:13The gift has arrived!
22:15A special gift from Archmast Anna.
22:24This is my gift to you.
22:30The Ancestral Stone?
22:32That's right.
22:33Lord God, I thank you.
22:36Our village's guardian, the one that's been missing for years?
22:40You're kidding.
22:41Please.
22:42Probably some dark magic trick she cooked up to fool us all.
22:45Silence, you foolish woman!
22:47You know nothing.
22:48Those crystals hold the blessings, the memories of our ancestors, generations past.
22:53No magic can forge this.
22:56Yeah, yeah, yeah.
22:57What you just said?
22:59An insult to every ancestor we have.
23:02You will show respect.
23:04Guards!
23:05Seize them!
23:06Sheriff, please.
23:07Forgive us just this once.
23:09Yes, Sheriff, please.
23:11My grandmother meant no harm.
23:12She just didn't want us fooled by this witch.
23:15You meant no disrespect, Sheriff.
23:16Sheriff, I swear it.
23:17Just give us a chance.
23:18Let us off, please.
23:19I'll let it pass once.
23:22But speak against the stone again, and you answer to me.
23:27Sheriff never gets that angry.
23:29It has to be real.
23:30The stone vanished decades ago, and Anna brings it back.
23:33She's something else now.
23:35That was incredible.
23:37Thank you, Anna.
23:39The village, it's safer now.
23:42Anna, you've given more to this land than anyone.
23:45From now on, you're our savior.
23:49Anyone object!
23:51You brought back our guardian, Anna.
23:54Please step onto the altar.
23:55The people shall kneel to you.
23:57Not so fast!
23:58She's lying to you.
24:00All of you.
24:01What do you mean, she's lying?
24:04She didn't bring the stone.
24:06She didn't find it.
24:08None of it was her.
24:10Not her?
24:10And who?
24:11So we were all wrong about her?
24:15So you're claiming I had nothing to do with the stone?
24:18Exactly.
24:19You fooled them, but not me.
