Short filmTranscript
00:04I finally got the rarest magic core for you.
00:08You've worked hard.
00:22After Rebirth, I abandoned the Mighty Phoenix as my magical pet, instead chose an almost
00:28dead little black snake in my past life.
00:30I'd hunted rare ingredients for Phoenix, pouring every resource I had into his growth.
00:35He cheated with my sister behind my back.
00:37Finally, to make their little love story easier, they killed me together.
00:40This time around, I wanted to see how that perfect couple managed without me as their
00:43stepping stone.
00:44The same pact ceremony, the same standout, undeniably that golden Phoenix.
00:49Even caged with a suppression collar, he held his head high, like the rest of us were beneath
00:53him.
00:54As expected, the ceremony elder assigned him to me.
00:56The Phoenix tilted its head back and rolled its eyes, just like in its previous life,
01:01its face full of disdain.
01:02That was when my sister Evelyn walked in, cradling a limp little black snake in her palms, tears
01:07rolling down her cheeks.
01:09My sister was too weak.
01:10Phoenix fell in love with her pitiful appearance immediately, which made me look like the villain
01:14standing between them.
01:15The ceremony elder shifted awkwardly and turned on Evelyn.
01:18Your power isn't strong enough.
01:20Even if the Phoenix is drawn to you now, you won't be able to handle him.
01:24She didn't react, instead pretended to be scared by my gaze, bit her lip with tears down.
01:29Lila, I know I have no right to compete with you.
01:31It's just, I've never seen a golden Phoenix before.
01:35I didn't have the patience to listen to her feigned weakness.
01:37I reached out and lifted the limp black snake from her hands, smiled at the ceremony elder.
01:42I've taken a liking to this one.
01:44The Phoenix clearly doesn't want me.
01:46Why not let her have him?
01:47I'll take the snake.
01:48The others thought I'd lost my mind.
01:50They pulled me aside.
01:51You're the strongest here.
01:53This black snake has a mixed bloodline.
01:55He's basically worthless.
01:56But I knew the truth about that Phoenix.
01:58He was no prize.
01:59In my last life,
02:04my past life, scene had played out exactly the same way.
02:08The Phoenix ignored me.
02:09I felt the sting of being rejected for the first time in my life.
02:12And instead of thinking clearly, I thought,
02:15he's so hard to get.
02:16I'm obsessed.
02:17As the Archmaster's student, I was supposed to be an example to the others.
02:21I told myself I had to tame the Phoenix, strengthen the Spirit Pact Academy.
02:25So I threw everything I had at him.
02:27Every student got a limited ration of elixirs.
02:30So I took assassin missions, hunting rogue creatures,
02:32the kind that had lost their minds and turned feral, to earn extra elixirs.
02:36I came back bleeding every time.
02:38The Phoenix pretended not to notice.
02:40He only came near me when I pulled out elixirs, took what he wanted, and walked away.
02:4410 years.
02:46I spent 10 years helping him break through his limits and take human form.
02:50When he finally did, he was stunning, tall, sharp-featured.
02:53But the warmth stopped there.
02:55He always treated me like I was his errand girl.
02:57I told myself it was fine.
02:59Creatures with strong bloodlines had pride.
03:01One day, he'd recognize what I'd given him.
03:03One day, we'd fight side by side,
03:04and I wouldn't have to face those feral creatures alone.
03:07Then one day, I saw him kiss my sister passionately.
03:10She was laughing, dancing around him.
03:12A fellow student rode past on her white tiger, saw them in the distance, and shook her head at me.
03:18Liar, you really need to stop asking Evelyn to look after the Phoenix when you go on contracts.
03:23When did I ever ask her that?
03:25She says it every time you leave.
03:27I saw stars.
03:28I'd been out there risking my life, and she was back here cheating with my things.
03:32Doesn't she have her own creature?
03:34That little black snake died in its second year.
03:37Then it clicked.
03:38I'd spent 10 years sewing a wedding dress for someone else.
03:54It wasn't some gentle forgiving heroine turned on Evelyn.
03:57It enraged the Phoenix.
03:58As punishment, he lured me to the back forest under false pretenses,
04:02then broke open the wards keeping it sealed.
04:04The creatures trapped inside started pouring out,
04:07and among them was one that had fallen into complete madness.
04:10A Leviathan.
04:11The Phoenix joined forces with my sister to shoot me down the cliff.
04:14In the end, I died in the beast head, and I could only watch Evelyn snuggle up beside it.
04:19So this time around, I wasn't going to be anyone's sacrifice.
04:22I just wanted to see what this couple would do next.
04:24The Phoenix held onto Evelyn tightly, refusing to let go.
04:27The Elder sighed, and Spirit Pact Academy'd the Pact Circle drawn.
04:31Once a creature bonded with someone, they were bound to that person's commands.
04:35Harm the bonded partner, and the creature suffered for it.
04:38The bonding ritual's energy agitated the black snake.
04:41He wound himself around my arm with everything he had.
04:44Evelyn got the Phoenix, and was clearly thrilled.
04:46Then she looked at the snake clinging to me.
04:48You and that serpent really do seem meant for each other, Lyra.
04:50She was very smug.
04:52Had she also been reborn?
04:53Watch your tongue, Evelyn.
04:55If Lyra hadn't stepped in for you, you'd never have gotten the Phoenix.
04:58If I were you, I'd be on my knees thanking her.
05:00Oh, stop.
05:01She's crying again.
05:02Always crying.
05:04You'd think she was the tragic one.
05:05The Phoenix paced anxiously while Evelyn sniffled.
05:14Anxious didn't help him.
05:16Evelyn had almost no power at this stage.
05:18The creatures shared energy with their bonded partners,
05:21but Evelyn's reserves were basically empty.
05:24Probably the first time in either life that the Phoenix had been on the losing side of the situation.
05:29Good.
05:30He'd adjust.
05:31This was the consequence of choosing weakness and cheating.
05:34The black snake, finally convinced I wasn't abandoning him, went limp and passed out in my arms.
05:42Back home, I finally got a good look at the snake.
05:45He was tiny.
05:46Couldn't have been more than a few decades old.
05:48Barely past the threshold of maturity.
05:50But he was strange, different from the serpents I knew.
05:54Water serpents had snake-like tails.
05:57This one had a tail more like a fish, with a fin.
06:00Mixed bloodline.
06:01Serpent and something older.
06:03Seafolk, maybe.
06:04I had a natural spring in the courtyard.
06:07The moment he hit the water, he came alive, diving and surfacing, pulling in energy from the current.
06:13I laughed.
06:15Relax.
06:16I fed a golden phoenix for 10 years.
06:18I think I can manage one little snake.
06:20He froze, and stared at me with those tiny green eyes.
06:23Then he spat water at my face.
06:25I flicked him on the head.
06:27Heal up.
06:28You're not going anywhere.
06:29The next morning, I woke up wrong.
06:31I turned my head and found a face three inches from mine.
06:35Dark lashes.
06:36Warm skin.
06:37The kind of face that belonged in a painting.
06:40Long lashes that trembled slightly.
06:43Objectively gorgeous.
06:44Didn't stop me from nearly jumping out of my skin.
06:47He'd gotten into bed without waking me.
06:49Whoever this was, his power was well above mine.
06:53He stirred, opened gold-slit eyes, and looked at me.
06:56I scrambled to the corner.
06:58Who are you?
06:59This is Spirit Pact Academy grounds.
07:01Don't try anything.
07:03He sat up.
07:04I noticed he was wearing the clothes I'd set aside for when a creature took human form.
07:08A dark, fitted robe with a subtle pattern.
07:10He wore it well.
07:12He was tall.
07:13He'd had to curl up to fit in my bed.
07:16Under those long lashes were a pair of gold, vertical pupil eyes.
07:19The answer was obvious.
07:21Snake.
07:21He smirked, reached out, and flicked me on the forehead.
07:25Rude.
07:26I have a name.
07:27It's Kieran.
07:44Kieran, it turned out, had been fleeing an enemy when he crossed paths with my tutor.
07:49He'd taken the form of a small, injured serpent.
07:52My tutor, true to form, had taken him in.
07:54Kieran clearly hadn't been injured because he was weak.
07:57Please tell me your enemies aren't about to show up here.
08:00We're bonded now.
08:01You're the master.
08:02I'm your mate.
08:04So I suggest you train hard and try not to slow me down.
08:07He taught me a breathing and absorption technique developed for serpentkind.
08:11Most days I sat in the spring practicing, while Kieran sprawled in the tree above me,
08:15watching with half-closed eyes.
08:17The breeze moved his hair and caught the light on his skin.
08:20Evelyn appeared at my gate, peering in.
08:22I sighed and got out of the spring.
08:24Kieran dropped from the tree and draped a dry robe over my shoulders without being asked.
08:29Who is this?
08:30You remember him.
08:31The little black snake from the bonding ceremony.
08:33You said yourself we seemed meant for each other.
08:43A flicker of something crossed her face.
08:46What do you want?
08:46This is training time.
08:48I was hoping we could raise the phoenix together.
08:52Kieran's hand tightened on mine.
08:53I glanced at him.
08:54He was watching me, clearly unhappy.
08:56I'm not your backup plan.
08:58Figure it out yourself.
08:59How is it not your responsibility?
09:01You took the black snake and left me with the phoenix.
09:04You don't get to just walk away.
09:06Half a year's gone by and I've given him every elixir I had.
09:10There's nothing left for my own training.
09:12And I was in the lower ranks.
09:13I can't go hunting rare ingredients.
09:15I'd die out there.
09:16You bonded with the phoenix first.
09:17You should be helping.
09:19I cut her off mid-sentence, sent a gust of air to push her back through the gate,
09:22and led Kieran inside.
09:24Little sister, don't mistake everyone for a fool.
09:26I'm not spending my resources raising your creature for you.
09:30If you can't afford to keep him, dissolve the bond.
09:33Let someone else take him.
09:34I'm sure the elders would be happy to.
09:36She wouldn't do that.
09:37Her ambitions were too big.
09:47After weeks passed, I broke through to a new level of power.
09:51What those in the Spirit Pact Academy called Fourth Circle Stage.
09:56At the same time, the Archmaster arranged for me to escort a rare spirit fox to the Spirit Pact Academy,
10:03alongside Elder Celia, who was about three centuries older than me and acted like a kid half the time.
10:09I sweet-talked her through the handover to the creature registry, and she settled for it.
10:14Before she left, she pressed her hand over her mouth to hide a smile.
10:18Your little serpent is very clingy, you know.
10:21I didn't understand until I started up the mountain path and saw a silhouette leaning against a tree in the
10:26distance.
10:28He didn't move.
10:29When I got closer, he reached out and grabbed the back of my neck.
10:33Lyra, am I not good to you?
10:35Why are you trying to give me away?
10:36What are you talking about?
10:38That girl came to the courtyard today, said you sent her to check on me.
10:41Did you change your mind about bonding with me?
10:43You hit Fourth Circle and now you're done with me?
10:45...publin' again.
10:46Same playbook, different life.
10:48Before I could explain, Kieran's pupils contracted to thin lines.
10:53He bent his head and pressed his face into my neck.
10:55His tongue brushed the skin there.
10:58Light.
10:58Quick.
10:59I shivered hard.
11:01Smells like fox.
11:02Lyra, did you already find yourself a replacement?
11:06Doesn't matter.
11:07Once I eat that fox, I'll be your only option.
11:10You hit me for her?
11:11That fox belongs to my Archmaster.
11:13You touch her and I will end you.
11:27Kieran stopped fighting me and let himself be pulled along.
11:30Most students weren't training, so the residences were quiet.
11:34A few people raised their eyebrows when they saw me coming.
11:37Short greetings, and then they told me.
11:39Evelyn had gone to the back forest with the phoenix.
11:42I frowned.
11:43I wasn't in the phoenix's way anymore.
11:45Why were they sneaking off to the forest?
11:48We found them mid-argument.
11:49Or rather, Evelyn was arguing and the phoenix, who still hadn't taken human form, was responding in
11:56and scratched letters on the ground.
11:58Don't look at me like that.
11:59I've done nothing wrong.
12:01I didn't force you to come to the Spirit Pact Academy.
12:04You said this place would help you grow.
12:06I've given you every elixir I had and you're still not satisfied?
12:10You want me to go out hunting rare ingredients?
12:13I just started training!
12:15You'd be sending me to die!
12:17I almost felt something.
12:19In my past life, he'd given me nothing for ten years.
12:23Not a glance.
12:24Not a word.
12:25Not a gesture.
12:26Now he was writing letters in the dirt.
12:28The contrast was something.
12:30Evelyn, I've been looking for you.
12:32The phoenix scrambles to erase the letters when he heard us.
12:36Evelyn pulled herself together fast, though not fast enough.
12:40What do you need, Lyra?
12:52I patted Kieran's arm.
12:54He gave me a long-suffering look, then dropped to one knee and let me settle onto it like a
12:59chair.
12:59His hands locked around my waist, steadying me.
13:02Evelyn's gaze locked onto Kieran and didn't move.
13:05I'm not here about anything in particular.
13:08Just wondering why you paid my companion a visit.
13:10The phoenix's feathers flared, angry.
13:13Evelyn hadn't expected me to know so fast.
13:15No, no, you've got it wrong.
13:17I was just coming to find you.
13:19He rested his chin on my shoulder.
13:21She lied to me.
13:22She said you stole me from her.
13:23That I was supposed to be hers.
13:25And what did you do?
13:26She came into your territory without permission.
13:29She was weak.
13:30I didn't even use my power.
13:31Just pushed until she left.
13:33I patted his cheek.
13:34I stood and faced Evelyn directly.
13:37If I remember correctly, you didn't want Kieran in the first place.
13:40He was badly injured.
13:42If he'd ended up with you, he probably wouldn't have survived his second year.
13:46That's not true!
13:47I would have taken care of him.
13:49The phoenix's crest was fully raised now.
13:51She caught herself.
13:53You're trying to drive a wedge between me and the phoenix.
13:56I stepped forward and put my hand on her shoulder.
13:59You played your game, little sister.
14:01Don't act surprised when I play mine.
14:04Next time you pull something like this, you will get my punishment.
14:08She blanched.
14:09The council didn't forgive moves against another member's bonded creature.
14:12She couldn't risk it.
14:14On the way back, I was in a good mood.
14:17Kieran was quiet though.
14:18Wouldn't transform and carry me even when I asked.
14:21Once we were back in the courtyard, he grabbed my arm.
14:24You seem familiar with the phoenix.
14:37I didn't hide it.
14:39We have a history.
14:40It ended badly for me.
14:42Wanna hear it?
14:42He turned away, shifted into serpent form, and wound himself around my neck.
14:47No.
14:48I'm better than that bird by every measure.
14:51You're not going back to him.
14:53I won't have another mate.
14:55I promise.
14:57Days later.
14:59Laya, your growth rate is pathetic.
15:02Sharing energy with you is a form of suffering.
15:07My arch master said,
15:08I'm one of the most talented young members in a generation.
15:12All those rare materials and elixirs I found went into me this time.
15:16Not into the phoenix.
15:17Ten years passed.
15:19I moved steadily from fourth circle to sixth circle.
15:22Even the most mean elder Celia praised me.
15:25You are really a genius, Lyra.
15:27We all expected the phoenix to elevate the whole spirit-panned academy.
15:32But ten years in, there's still no sign of him breaking through.
15:36I'd expected this.
15:38Sustaining creatures took enormous resources.
15:40And the spirit-packed academy never had reserves.
15:43The phoenix couldn't break through.
15:45And in my past life, I'd seen exactly what happened when his patients ran out.
15:49I'd thought about removing him.
15:51Every time I tried to bring it up with my arch master or Kiran, it was like the words hit
15:55a wall.
15:56And acting unilaterally, killing the phoenix before anyone understood why,
16:00would have destroyed the spirit-packed academy from the inside.
16:04All I could do was watch him and contain him.
16:07Past that, I had no choice but to wait.
16:10My past life hadn't survived this year.
16:12I didn't know if this one would go differently.
16:14I didn't know if this one would go differently.
