00:12Agus Viorel!
00:20Don't be afraid. We'll get out.
00:28One left. This should heal you.
00:36You've got this.
00:43I knew it. I knew you could.
00:46Are you alright? You gave me a heart attack.
01:01So that's how it is.
01:03I'm sorry, tutor. He never loved you. It was always me.
01:09You should have seen it coming.
01:11All this time? Then why, why didn't you go to her at the summoning?
01:15Go to her? You're her tutor, Robin. The Headmaster's favorite. She stood only because of you.
01:24How could you? I gave you everything. I would have died for you, and this is what I get?
01:31How can you say that, tutor? If you hadn't told him about the seal, none of this would have happened.
01:39The Headmaster.
01:40The Headmaster топs.
02:07Ten years, and I never knew you hated me this much.
02:10Every touch, every word.
02:12It was all just to humiliate me, and I was so obsessed with him,
02:15and even the professors who cared suffered because of me, Merlin.
02:19If I had a do-over, I would never choose him.
02:34I'm back. The day of the Binding.
02:38I'm Rowan Ashford, top of the Magical Research Department,
02:42Headmaster Thorn's adopted daughter.
02:45In my past life, everyone thought the strongest Petraindrian would answer me.
02:50I believed it too.
02:52Rowan, first in every exam, the year's finest.
02:56The strongest patroness should answer her call first.
03:05What's a freshman doing here?
03:08Isn't that Rowan's tut-in?
03:09She's the half-blood from the Muggle world, right?
03:19Wait, the bird wants the rookie?
03:21Serafina! You've barely touched a wand!
03:24Your magic's unstable, and even if Icebird likes you now, you'll never control him!
03:31Tutor, I know I'm not your match.
03:33But I've never seen anything like this in the Muggle world.
03:38I just...
03:43They were already a pair.
03:44I was just the villain in their way.
03:49It's my turn.
03:50Rowan, don't be stupid!
03:52That bird is a legend!
03:53You're the best we've got!
03:54That snake is trash!
03:55It's not worthy of you!
04:04I choose this serpent.
04:11She's...
04:11Actually walking away from the Icebird.
04:14All those years being the top...
04:16Just for this?
04:18Trading a legend for a dying snake?
04:19She's lost her bloody mind.
04:31Rowan...
04:33Run!
04:34From that moment on, I swore I would become the strongest mage.
04:38Have the most powerful guardian.
04:40Because only then, I would never lose anyone again.
04:44But who's to say...
04:45Professor!
04:46May I try one more time?
04:50Faster, more precise.
04:53The Icebird clan.
04:55They are the strongest guardians.
04:57They will protect you from all harm.
04:59If I had the strongest guardian, no one would ever be able to hurt me again.
05:05Will it choose me?
05:10So...
05:10It's never me.
05:11If I just try a little harder...
05:13He'll take human form.
05:15We'll understand each other.
05:16He'll look at me.
05:17Just once.
05:19Ten years.
05:20I never even got a single thank you.
05:31So...
05:32He could be gentle.
05:34Just...
05:35Never to me.
05:36The serpent is my choice.
05:38I bind my soul to it.
05:40This is throwing her future away just to prove a point.
05:43She'll regret this for the rest of her life.
05:46I gave my life for him.
05:48Spoiled him.
05:49Thought he'd turn back.
05:50But all I got was betrayal.
05:53Shame.
05:53And a death without mercy.
05:59Look, I know Vos is your tutee, but you're being too soft.
06:02She's basically moved in with your Icebird.
06:04What are you talking about?
06:06Serafina and the Icebird?
06:07She's with him every time you left the school.
06:09She told everyone you asked her to watch over him.
06:11I never asked her to do that.
06:14Doesn't she have her own predentus?
06:17Why is she messing with mine, Rowan?
06:19You mean that black serpent?
06:21It died back in Second War.
06:23What?
06:25Ten years.
06:26I spent ten years raising him.
06:29Spoiling him.
06:30Even though he never wanted the bond, I never regretted it.
06:38I was a joke.
06:39Ten years.
06:41Nothing.
06:42But raising a man for someone else.
06:47Since both parties have consented, continue the ritual.
06:50Form the circle.
07:11Tutor.
07:11I guess you and that snake really were meant for each other.
07:16Cut the act, Vos.
07:17If Rowan hadn't handed him over, you wouldn't get near him.
07:20Stop playing the victim.
07:23Here we go again.
07:24The water works.
07:31He's taking human form?
07:33High-level petroniums don't even need a wizard to shift.
07:36Merlin.
07:37She's actually pulling this off in one go.
07:53What's wrong?
07:54A Patronus reflects its master.
07:56If the wizard's core is too weak to hold the bond, it withers.
07:59So the bird didn't get weaker?
08:00It's just her.
08:01She's dragging it down.
08:02High and mighty one second.
08:03Humbled the next.
08:03What a fall.
08:04Told you.
08:04A Patronus like that doesn't just settle for anyone.
08:18Look at you.
08:20Barely a runt.
08:21And your anatomy is a mess.
08:23A tail fin?
08:25You're a hybrid.
08:27Sea serpent mixed with siren.
08:29No wonder Hargrid called you a mutt.
08:36Greedy little thing.
08:38Careful.
08:38I could have laced that water with a potion to send you straight to Merlin.
08:51Relax.
08:52I chose you.
08:53I'm not letting you die on me now.
09:10Who the hell are you?
09:11This is the research department.
09:13Don't even try it.
09:18You...
09:19You're the serpent?
09:25Manners please.
09:27I have a name.
09:28Nyx.
09:30You...
09:31You can take human form?
09:33I've been doing this since I was five, Master.
09:35How?
09:35How is that even possible?
09:37Is it meant to be hard?
09:38We're born with it.
09:40Then why were you...
09:41so weak?
09:42I was ambushed.
09:44Badly hurt.
09:45Then brought here.
09:48You.
09:49Your magic.
09:50It healed me enough to shift.
09:58The bound is sealed.
09:59I am your patronos.
10:03Why so tense?
10:04You're the master.
10:06I'm just the servant.
10:08How do I know you're telling the truth?
10:09You're a mystery with a mile-long list of enemies.
10:12Why should I trust you?
10:13Hmm.
10:20If you don't trust me, Master...
10:23Just put a collar on me.
10:31Pin me.
10:33Then I'm not going anywhere, huh?
10:39Maybe you're just too scared, Master.
10:41I'm...
10:42I'm not!
10:46You asked for this.
10:52You actually knew the spell.
10:55You told me to.
10:58Master, are you sure...
11:00you're the one holding the leash?
11:04Better study hard.
11:06Or...
11:07you might not even have the power to take it off.
11:14Nyx!
11:23Tutor Ashford?
11:30What do you want?
11:31Who is he?
11:32You've met.
11:33My little black serpent from the ritual.
11:36Didn't you say we were a perfect match?
11:37Tutor.
11:39I've come to ask for help.
11:40The ice bird needs too many potions.
11:41I can't afford them.
11:42My own training has completely stalled.
11:44And?
11:44You took that serpent and left me with the ice bird six months ago.
11:48You owe him.
11:49And me.
11:49You should help me raise him.
11:50And you're my tutor.
11:51Isn't that kind of your job?
11:53I'm your tutor, not your nami.
11:55I've taught you everything you need.
11:57If you can't handle him, that's your problem.
11:59I owe you nothing.
12:00How can you say that?
12:01You took the serpent and left me with him!
12:02Do you take me for a fool, Seraphina?
12:04Spend my resources raising a legend for you to play with?
12:06Do I look that thick?
12:07You really think you did nothing wrong, tutor?
12:09If a patronatist like him doesn't break through, it's a loss for the academy.
12:13The academy isn't your pawn to play with me.
12:16As for you...
12:29If you can't handle him, break the bound.
12:31Leave the legend for someone who's actually worthy.
12:35You'll regret this, Rowan!
12:43I thought you were actually going to give me away.
12:46Don't you have better things to do?
12:49Next!
12:49You spent the whole time looking at her.
12:52Am I not even allowed to tick her off?
12:54No.
12:55I don't like it.
12:58Master, it's me you're raising now.
13:01Are you jealous?
13:02So, Vary, stay away from the rubbish.
13:05Trying to boss me around?
13:07Catch me first!
13:11She came to see me today, you know?
13:16Said you entrusted me to her.
13:18Said I was supposed to be hers all along.
13:22How many potions do you need, honestly?
13:24You can't even manage a bloody word!
13:27Rowan serpent drifted months ago.
13:29What can you do besides eat?
13:32Don't look at me like that.
13:33I don't owe you anything.
13:37You're hard to find, Tutu.
13:43Tutu.
13:45What brings you here?
13:46Nothing, Major.
13:48Just had a question.
13:49Why have you been pattering my Patrenus?
13:55No, no!
13:56You've got it wrong!
13:58I was looking for you!
14:00Master.
14:02She's lying.
14:04She told me you stole me from her.
14:06Said I was supposed to be hers.
14:08I didn't!
14:09I...
14:09I would've treated him perfectly!
14:13You're poisoning him against me!
14:16You were the one who rejected him back then.
14:19I won't say another word this time.
14:22Next time,
14:22the tribunal will decide.
14:25And if you get expelled,
14:26don't come blaming me.
14:31What?
14:32Still sulking?
14:33You and that bird.
14:34You know him too well.
14:35I'm 10,000 times better than that heap of feathers.
14:38You're not allowed to bind with him again.
14:40Um...
14:40Relax.
14:41I'm not getting any other Patrenus.
14:44Ever.
14:59Do not use that spell!
15:01Do not use that spell!
15:11The faculty did a deep dive into the iceberg's progress last week.
15:14We tried pooling resources to force a human shift.
15:16It wasn't even close.
15:17We really thought he'd be the one to elevate the Academy's standing.
15:21Resources are not infinite, Professor.
15:23A patronym's of that kind.
15:24You can't force it.
15:26Besides,
15:26that bird...
15:30Rowan?
15:31What was that?
15:32Nothing.
15:50Slacking off again, Rowan Ashford?
15:55Behave.
15:56I'm doing my best.
16:04Nyx?
16:05What are you doing?
16:08Come on.
16:09Let's go for the fireworks.
16:16Shh.
16:17I'm shifting back.
16:19Don't want to be spotted.
16:25Don't you dare blame me!
16:26I didn't force you to choose this Academy!
16:31You're the one who said it was perfect for training!
16:33I could have been at the Potions Guild by now!
16:36Not being stuck in this dump, penniless,
16:39all because of you!
16:40So that's it.
16:42No wonder the bird was so obsessed with her.
16:44They knew each other all along.
16:46The faculty hands you to Rowan on a silver platter
16:49and you threw it in her face!
16:50Now she's done with you!
16:52She's the Headmaster's favourite!
16:53She has everything!
16:55You'd have shifted to human form years ago
16:57if you'd stayed with her!
16:57It was all a set-up.
16:59I wasn't special.
17:00Just the mark.
17:01The research depart is just their stepping stone,
17:03Edward the bird was doomed.
17:04He wasn't trying to ditch me.
17:05He planned to burn the Academy down
17:07and walk away with Serafina.
17:10Weeeeee!
17:11Weeeeee!
17:25Shouldn't you be helping her train?
17:27What are you doing here?
17:30Exactly!
17:31My master actually pities me.
17:33She'd never run me ragged with drills.
17:36What's your excuse for abandoning yours?
17:38Absolute drama queen.
17:42I want that overgrown pigeon to know there's no room for him in our relationship.
17:49And what relationship is that?
17:52Whatever you want it to be.
17:56The ice bird has left.
17:58I ignore him.
17:59I need to know why he was here.
18:00That bird is pure malice.
18:02Fire's remorse.
18:04He's sick of your little 2T.
18:09Something's wrong.
18:10I've gone out of my way to avoid him.
18:12If he wanted a new master, he'd go to the faculty.
18:13He wouldn't come to me.
18:15Unless...
18:15No time to explain.
18:16I have to go.
18:29Thank Merzen.
18:30The seal is intact.
18:34The ice bird.
18:35He's dead.
18:35Back from the past life too.
18:39Have you heard?
18:40Seraphina's ice bird is completely ghosting her.
18:43I saw it at the training grounds.
18:45It refused every single command.
18:47She looked like an idiot.
18:49And it won't stop pestering Rowan.
18:51The bird follows every time tutor Rowan shows up.
18:54You'd think she was its master, not Seraphina.
19:11Honestly Rowan, that bird is like one of those blokes who dumps you and then spends the rest of his
19:16life paying for a send chance.
19:23He ignored you when he had you and now he's realised you're the best he'll ever get.
19:30Blimey, that's terrifying.
19:31The girl can't afford to keep him anyway.
19:33How about I talk to her?
19:34I'll find her a more budget-friendly prigioness and have the ice nye rank check.
19:38Bloody hell, shut it. Please.
19:41Nyx is all I need.
19:46Fine. But we have to deal with the bird.
19:48A Praetroness that hates its master is useless to the academy.
19:51It's just dead weight for the student.
19:53Seraphina's been stuck at the novus rank for ten years.
19:56The faculty has decided to send them down the mountain for field training.
19:59Besides, with you and Nyx here, the academy won't miss one bird.
20:04The headmaster and the faculty are still backing me. Good.
20:08If they get Seraphina and the bird out of the way, I'll have time to guard the seal.
20:13I can still fix this.
20:17Headmaster, please. Don't send me away. The academy is my home. I can't leave.
20:23It was tutor Rowan, wasn't it? She wants me gone, she can steal my iceberg for herself!
20:28Miss Vos, don't read too much into it. This was the faculty's call, all of us.
20:32If she wants him so badly, I'll hand him over. But shouldn't she give me Naxx in return?
20:36A legendary bird for a common sea spur? Any way you slice it, she's coming out ahead.
20:40Miss Vos, a Patronus is a bonded soul, not a tradable good. Now go, prepare for your departure.
20:46I reinforced the wards myself. I should have felt so much as a breeze, but there was nothing.
20:52Three rare-formed protrentums just vanished into thin air.
20:59Not the work of dark creatures. No scent.
21:03This hall is carved into the mountain. The wards here negate affection and vanishing spells.
21:09Only someone with an academy mark can enter. To take three of them without a sound.
21:13You'd have to be one of our own. Or know the research depart inside out.
21:24There, there. It's alright. The serpent brother just looks mean. He won't eat you.
21:30Sir, do Patratiums ever kill their own kind?
21:32Huh? What a horrible thing to say! They're sentiest beings! It's impossible!
21:36Don't listen, darling. Rowan's just telling a scary story.
21:39Humans devour their own. Patronums are no different.
21:42There's a type of the dark magic. Want to hear about it?
21:50You're sure a dark creature would risk coming here?
21:53Wild Patroniums don't have the luxury of potions. If they want to grow, the fastest way is to harvest mana
22:01from their own kind.
22:02I nearly died at the hands of one ten years ago.
22:05Nyx.
22:06The higher the rank of the victim, the faster the predator ascends. Once they get a taste for it, they
22:12always come back from one.
22:14All quiet. Please some rest, sir. We'll take the next watch tonight.
22:24Help!
22:27Trouble in the dorms.
22:29No.
22:29No.
22:45Blood.
22:54You were right. The mana was drained in an instant. Barely a sound.
22:59The master didn't sense the Patronus until it was too late.
23:09Was it him?
23:16Don't look.
23:18It's him.
23:21How do you know?
23:22I know the scent of a dark Patronius.
23:25That bird reeks of it.
23:32Have you heard of that old rumour about the disappearing Pretentians?
23:37Seriously? I just got into the research depart last year.
23:40That actually happened?
23:41No idea.
23:42Might just be a ghost story to keep us on our toes.
23:45Since that day, the iceberg went quiet. No more accidents.
23:49Two years on, only the cat's owner remembers.
23:51To everyone else, it's just academy lore.
23:56Headmaster, I'm formally requesting the iceberg be confined.
24:00Even if there haven't been any new victims, we can't leave a threat like this lurking in the academy.
24:05Do you think we haven't noticed he's off?
24:07But Rowan, what proof do you have?
24:11I...
24:11Without proof, how do we justify it to the students?
24:15Confine a Thur Patronus belong to an innocent student, and we'd be risking the stability of the entire academy.
24:22Nyx wouldn't lie to me.
24:24You'll slip up eventually, you bird.
24:39Nyx?
24:40Nyx!
24:56The seal. What is that bloody bird up to now?
25:00The seal. What is that bloody bird up to now?
25:17The ice bird. He shifted.
25:29Nyx!
25:30Nyx!
25:30Get back!
25:31Get away from him!
25:40You did that on purpose!
25:43Did what?
25:44But you murdered your own master and drained every drop of her mana.
25:49If I hadn't caught you, my master would have been next.
25:54You're back from the dead too, aren't you, Rowan?
25:57What do you want?
25:58Let me guess.
26:00You knew at the summoning ritual.
26:03That's why you rejected me.
26:04Who gave you the right to walk away?
26:08This black snake?
26:12Fine!
26:12Watch me, Rowan.
26:13I'll unleash the horrors right now!
26:15We're starting over!
26:17This serpent won't get a chance!
26:19Save the act!
26:21Last life, you and Seraphina used the whole academy as a stepping stone, and now you killed her!
26:26No!
26:28You think you get a third chance?
26:30Wait for the ancient bond to burn you.
26:39Too late!
26:41I'm one step away.
27:02Rowan, the seal is failing.
27:04Hold back the tide of monsters.
27:06I'll handle the resealing.
27:23You can't stop it, Rowan!
27:25Spend another life with me!
27:27I promise!
27:28I'll be devoted only to you!
27:31Rowan, it's over.
27:33You can't stop this.
27:35Come with me.
27:36This time, I'll give you everything.
27:43Take her?
27:46Try.
27:47Try.
27:47Like this.
27:50Focus.
27:51Don't get distracted.
27:52Don't get distracted.
27:54Say it.
27:57Agus.
27:58VRL-RAA.
