00:12Agus Viorel!
00:21Don't be afraid. We'll get out.
00:29One 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.
01:10You should have seen it coming.
01:12All this time? Then why, why didn't you go to her at the summoning?
01:16Go 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?
01:31What? How can you say that, tutor? If you hadn't told him about the seal, none of this would have
01:37happened.
01:40The Headmaster.
01:41The Headmaster.
01:42I'm sorry, Sai-ki-ki
02:07Ten years, and I never knew you hated me this much
02:10Every touch, every word, it was all just to humiliate me
02:14And I was so obsessed with him, even the professors who cared
02:17Suffered 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
02:39I'm Rowan Ashford, top of the magical research department
02:42Headmaster Thorn's adopted daughter
02:44In my past life, everyone thought the strongest Petrandrian 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 tutin?
03:10She's the half-blood from the muggle world, right?
03:19Wait, the bird wants the rookie?
03:22Seraphina, 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
03:34But I've never seen anything like this in the muggle world
03:38I just...
03:43They were already a pair
03:45I was just the villain in their way
03:50It's my turn
03:50Rowan, don't be stupid
03:52That bird is a legend
03:54You're the best we've got
03:55That snake is trash
03:56It's not worthy of you
04:04I choose this serpent
04:11She's actually walking away from the Icebird
04:14All those years being the top
04:17Just for this?
04:18Trading a legend for a dying snake?
04:20She's lost her bloody mind
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, may I try one more time?
04:51Faster, more precise
04:54The Icebird clan, they are the strongest guardians
04:57They will protect you from all harm
05:00If I had the strongest guardian, no one would ever be able to hurt me again
05:05Will it choose me?
05:10So, it'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
05:32So, he could be gentle
05:34Just never 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
05:54And a death without mercy
06:00Look, I know Vos is your tutee
06:02But you're being too soft
06:03She'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
06:10She told everyone you asked her to watch over him
06:12I never asked her to do that
06:15Doesn't she have her own predentus?
06:17Why is she messing with mine, Rowan?
06:20You mean that black serpent?
06:21It died back in second year
06:23What?
06:25Ten years
06:26I spent ten years raising him
06:29Spoiling him
06:30Even though he never wanted the bond
06:32I never regretted it
06:39I was a joke
06:40Ten years
06:41Nothing
06:42But raising a man for someone else
06:47Since both parties have consented
06:49Continue the ritual
06:50Form the circle
07:11Tutor, I guess you and that snake really were meant for each other
07:16Cut the act, Vos
07:18If 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
07:32He'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
07:54What's wrong?
07:54A Petronus 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
08:04What a fool
08:04Told you
08:05A 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 sirrin
08:29No wonder Hargrid called you a mutt
08:36Greedy little thing
08:38Careful, I could have laced that water with a potion to send you straight to Merlin
08:51Relax
08:52I chose you
08:54I'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
09:19You...
09:19You're the serpent?
09:26Manners, please
09:27I have a name
09:28Nyx
09:31You...
09:31You can take human form?
09:33I've been doing this since I was five, Master
09:35How?
09:36How is that even possible?
09:38Is it meant to be hard?
09:39We're born with it
09:40Then why were you...
09:41So weak?
09:43I was ambushed
09:45Badly hurt
09:45Then brought here
09:48You
09:49Your magic
09:50It healed me enough to shift
09:58The bound is sealed
10:00I am your Patronos
10:03Why so tense?
10:05You're the master
10:06I'm just the servant
10:08How do I know you're telling the truth?
10:10You're a mystery with a mile-long list of enemies
10:12Why should I trust you?
10:20If you don't trust me, Master
10:23Just put a collar on me
10:32Pin me
10:33And 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
10:53You actually knew the spell
10:55You told me to
10:58Master
10:59Are you sure
11:01You'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!
11:23Tudor Ashford?
11:30What do you want?
11:32Who is he?
11:33You've met
11:33My little black serpent from the ritual
11:36Didn't you say we were a perfect match?
11:38Tudor
11:39I've come to ask for help
11:40The Icebird needs too many potions
11:42I can't afford them
11:43My own training has completely stalled
11:44And?
11:45You took that serpent
11:46And left me with the Icebird six months ago
11:48You owe him
11:49And me
11:50You should help me raise him
11:51And you're my tutor
11:52Isn't that kind of your job?
11:54I'm your tutor
11:55Not your Nami
11:56I've taught you everything you need
11:57If you can't handle him
11:58That's your problem
11:59I owe you nothing
12:00How can you say that?
12:01You took the serpent
12:02And left me with him
12:03Do you take me for a fool, Seraphina?
12:04Spend my resources
12:05Raising a legend for you to play with?
12:07Do I look that thick?
12:08You really think you did nothing wrong, tutor?
12:10If a patronus like him
12:11Doesn't break through
12:11It's a loss for the Academy
12:13The Academy isn't your pawn
12:14To play with me
12:16As for you
12:21Help!
12:24Help!
12:26Help!
12:29If you can't handle him
12:31Break the bound
12:31Leave the legend
12:32For someone who's actually worthy
12:36You will regret this, Rowan!
12:40Shut up!
12:43I thought you were actually
12:45Going to give me away
12:46Don't you have better things to do?
12:49Next!
12:50You spent the whole time
12:51Looking at her
12:52Am I not even allowed
12:53To tick her off?
12:54No
12:55I don't like it
12:59Master
12:59It's me you're raising now
13:01Are you jealous?
13:02So, very
13:03Stay away from the rubbish
13:06Trying to boss me around?
13:07Catch me first
13:12She came to see me today, you know
13:16Said you entrusted me to her
13:19Said I was supposed to be hers all along
13:23How many potions do you need?
13:24Honestly, you 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
13:38You're hard to find, Tuti
13:44Tutor
13:45What brings you here?
13:47Nothing, Major
13:47Just had a question
13:50Why have you been pattering my Patrenus?
13:56No, no
13:57You've got it wrong
13:58I was looking for you
14:01Master
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
14:10I would have treated him perfectly
14:14You're poisoning him against me
14:17You were the one who rejected him back then
14:20I won't say another word this time
14:22Next time
14:23The tribunal will decide
14:25And if you get expelled
14:26Don't come blaming me
14:32What?
14:32Still sulking?
14:33You and that bird
14:34You know him too well
14:35I'm ten thousand times better than that heap of feathers
14:38You're not allowed to bind with him again
14:40Um
14:41Relax
14:42I'm not getting any other Patrenus
14:44Ever
15:00Do 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
15:17It 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
15:27That bird
15:31Rowan
15:31What was that?
15:33Nothing
15:50Slacking off again, Rowan Ashford?
15:56Behave
15:56I'm doing my best
16:04Nyx?
16:05What are you doing?
16:08Come on
16:09Let's go for the fireworks
16:17Shh
16:17I'm shifting back
16:19Don't want to be spotted
16:25Don't you dare blame me
16:27I 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
16:41So that's it
16:42No wonder the bird was so obsessed with her
16:45They knew each other all along
16:47The faculty hands you to Rowan on a silver platter
16:50And you threw it in her face
16:51Now 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
16:58It was all a set up
16:59I wasn't special
17:00Just the mark
17:01The research department 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
17:23And walk away with Serafina
17:26Shouldn't you be helping her train?
17:27What are you doing here?
17:31Exactly
17:31My master actually pities me
17:34She'd never run me ragged with drills
17:36What's your excuse for abandoning yours?
17:38Absolute drama queen
17:43I want that overgrown pigeon to know
17:45There's no room for him in our relationship
17:49And what relationship is that?
17:53Whatever you want it to be
17:57The ice bird has left
17:58I ignore him
17:59I need to know why he was here
18:01That bird is pure malice
18:03Byer's remorse
18:04He's sick of your little 2T
18:10Something's wrong
18:10I've gone out of my way to avoid him
18:12If he wanted a new master
18:13He'd go to the faculty
18:14He wouldn't come to me
18:15Unless
18:16No time to explain
18:17I have to go
18:29Thank Merzen
18:30The seal is intact
18:34The ice bird
18:35He's back from the past life too
18:39Have you heard?
18:41Serafina's ice bird
18:42Is completely ghosting her
18:43I saw it at the training grounds
18:46It refused every single command
18:48She looked like an idiot
18:49And it won't stop pestering Rowan
18:51The bird follows every time
18:53Tutor Rowan shows up
18:54You'd think she was its master
18:56Not Serafina
19:11Honestly Rowan
19:12That bird is like one of those blokes
19:14Who dumps you
19:14And then spends the rest of his life
19:16Paying for a send chance
19:23He ignored you when he had you
19:25And now he's realised
19:26You'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
19:35Budget-friendly prigioness
19:37And have the ice and eye ring check
19:38What?
19:39Bloody hell, shut it
19:40Please
19:41Nyx is all I need
19:46Fine
19:46But we have to deal with the bird
19:48A Praetroness that hates its master
19:50Is useless to the academy
19:51It's just dead weight for the student
19:53Serafina's been stuck at the novice rank
19:55For ten years
19:56The faculty has decided to send them
19:58Down the mountain for field training
19:59Besides
20:00With you and Nyx here
20:01The academy won't miss one bird
20:05The headmaster and the faculty
20:06Are still backing me
20:07Good
20:09If they get Serafina and the bird
20:10Out of the way
20:11I'll have time to guard the seal
20:14I can still fix this
20:18Headmaster, please
20:19Don't send me away
20:20The academy is my home
20:22I can't leave
20:23It was Tutor Rowan, wasn't it?
20:26She wants me gone
20:26She can steal my iceberg for herself
20:28Miss Vos
20:29Don't read too much into it
20:30This was the faculty's call
20:31All of us
20:32If she wants him so badly
20:33I'll hand him over
20:34But shouldn't she give me Naxx in return?
20:36A legendary bird for a common sea spur
20:39Any way you slice it
20:40She's coming out ahead
20:41Miss Vos
20:41A Patronus is a bonded soul
20:43Not a tradable good
20:44Now go
20:45Prepare for your departure
20:47I reinforced the wards myself
20:49I should have felt so much as a breeze
20:51But there was nothing
20:52Three rare form Patrentums
20:55Just vanished
20:56Into thin air
20:59Not the work of dark creatures
21:02No scent
21:04This hall is carved into the mountain
21:06The wards here negate
21:07Affirmation and vanishing spells
21:09Only someone with an academy mark can enter
21:11To take three of them without a sound
21:13You'd have to be one of our own
21:15Or know the research depart inside out
21:24There, there
21:25It's alright
21:26The serpent brother just looks mean
21:28He won't eat you
21:30Sir, do Patratums ever kill their own kind?
21:33Huh?
21:33What a horrible thing to say
21:34They're sentious beings
21:35It's impossible
21:36Don't listen, darling
21:38Rowan's just telling a scary story
21:39Humans devour their own
21:41Patronums are no different
21:42There's a type of the dark magic
21:45Want to hear about it?
21:51You're sure a dark creature would risk coming here?
21:54Wild Patraniums don't
21:55Have the luxury of potions
21:57If they want to grow
21:58The fastest way is to
22:00Harvest mana from their own kind
22:03I nearly died at the hands of one ten years ago
22:06Nyx
22:07The higher the rank of the victim
22:08The faster the predator ascends
22:10Once they get a taste for it
22:12They always come back from one
22:15All quiet
22:16Please some rest, sir
22:18We'll take the next watch tonight
22:24Help
22:27Trouble in the dorms
22:29No
22:46Blood
22:54You were right
22:55The mana was drained in an instant
22:57Barely a sound
22:59The master didn't sense the Patronus
23:02Until it was too late
23:10Was it him?
23:16Don't look
23:19It'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
23:34About the disappearing Pretendians?
23:37Seriously?
23:38I just got into the research depart last year
23:40That actually happened?
23:41No idea
23:42Might just be a ghost story
23:44To keep us on our toes
23:45Since that day
23:46The iceberg went quiet
23:48No more accidents
23:49Two years on
23:50Only the cat's owner remembers
23:51To everyone else
23:53It's just academy lore
23:56Headmaster
23:57I'm formally requesting
23:58The iceberg be confined
24:00Even if there haven't been
24:01Any new victims
24:02We can't leave a threat like this
24:03Lurking in the academy
24:05Do you think we haven't noticed
24:07He's off?
24:08But Rowan
24:08What proof do you have?
24:11I...
24:12Without proof
24:13How do we justify it
24:14To the students?
24:16Confine
24:16A Thur Patronus
24:17Belong to an innocent student
24:19And we'd be risking
24:20The stability
24:21Of the entire academy
24:23Nyx wouldn't lie to me
24:24You'll slip up eventually
24:25You bird
24:39Nyx?
24:41Nyx?
24:42Nyx?
24:50Shhh
24:57The seal
24:58What is that bloody bird
24:59Up to now?
25:18The ice bird
25:19He shifted
25:30Nyx?
25:30Nyx?
25:31Get back
25:32Get away from him
25:40You did that on purpose
25:44Did what?
25:45You murdered your own master
25:47And drained every drop
25:48Of her mana
25:50If I hadn't caught you
25:52My master
25:53Would have been next
25:55You're back from the dead too
25:56Aren't you Rowan?
25:57What do you want?
25:59Let me guess
26:01You knew at the summoning ritual
26:03That's why you rejected me
26:05Who gave you the right
26:06To walk away?
26:08This black snake
26:11Fine
26:13Watch me Rowan
26:14I'll unleash the horrors
26:15Right now
26:16We're starting over
26:17This serpent won't get a chance
26:19Save the act
26:21Last life
26:22You and Seraphina
26:23Used the whole academy
26:24As a stepping stone
26:25And now you killed her
26:26No!
26:28You think you get a third chance
26:30Wait for the ancient bond
26:32To burn you
26:39Too late
26:41I'm one step away
27:02Rowan
27:03The seal is failing
27:05Hold back the tide of monsters
27:07I'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
27:32It's over
27:33You can't stop this
27:35Come with me
27:36This time
27:37I'll give you everything
27:43Take her
27:45Try
27:47Like this
27:49Focus
27:51Don't get distracted
27:54Say it
27:57Aegis
