Short filmTranscript
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.
01:09You should have seen it coming.
01:11All this time? Then why, why didn't you go to her at the summoning?
01:16Go to her? You're her tutor, Robyn. 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.
01:40The Headmaster.
01:45The Headmaster.
01:59Th-the Thank...
02:09Thank...
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, suffered because of me.
02:18Merlin, if 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, headmaster 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?
03:10She's the half-blood from the Muggle world, right?
03:19Wait, the bird wants the rookie?
03:22Serafina, 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.
03:49It'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...
04:04choose this serpent.
04:11She's...
04:12actually walking away from the Icebird.
04:14All those years being the top...
04:16just for this?
04:18Trading a legend for a dying snake?
04:20She's lost her bloody mind.
04:32Rowan...
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?
04:51Faster, 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, it's never me.
05:12If I just try a little harder, he'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, but 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.
06:09She told everyone you asked her to watch over him.
06:12I 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 year.
06:24What?
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.
06:39I was a joke.
06:40Ten years.
06:41Nothing.
06:42But raising a man for someone else.
06:47Since both parties have consented, continue the ritual.
06:51Form the circle.
07:11Shooter, 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.
07:21Stop 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 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.
08:04What 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.
08:24A 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.
08:39I 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.
09:18You...
09:19You're the serpent?
09:20Serpent?
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?
09:37Is it meant to be hard?
09:39We'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, your magic.
09:50It healed me enough to shift.
09:58The bound is sealed.
10:00I 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?
10:10You're a mystery with a mile-long list of enemies.
10:12Why should I trust you?
10:13Hm.
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.
10:42I'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
11:00you're the one holding the leash?
11:04Better study hard,
11:06or
11:07you might not even have the power
11:09to take it off.
11:14Nyx!
11:23Tudor 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?
11:38Tudor,
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?
11:44You took that serpent
11:46and left me with the Icebird six months ago.
11:48You owe him.
11:49And me.
11:49You should help me raise him.
11:50And you're my tutor.
11:52Isn't that kind of your job?
11:54I'm your tutor,
11:55not your Nami.
11:55I'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?
12:06Do I look that thick?
12:07You really think
12:08you did nothing wrong, tutor?
12:09If a Patronus like him
12:10doesn'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...
12:26Oh, God!
12:29If you can't handle him,
12:30break the bound.
12:31Leave the legend
12:32for someone who's actually worthy.
12:36You'll regret this, Rowan!
12:40Shut up!
12:43I thought you were actually
12:44going to give me away.
12:46Don't you have better things to do?
12:49Nex!
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.
12:58Master,
12:59it's me you're raising now.
13:01Are you jealous?
13:02So, very.
13:02Stay away from the rubbish.
13:05Trying to boss me around?
13:07Catch me first.
13:12She came to see me today,
13:13you know?
13:16Said you entrusted me to her.
13:19Said I was supposed
13:19to be hers all along.
13:22How many potions do you need?
13:24Honestly,
13:25you can't even manage
13:25a bloody word.
13:27Rowan's serpent
13:28drifted months ago.
13:29What can you do
13:29besides eat?
13:32Don't look at me like that.
13:33I don't owe you anything.
13:37You're hard to find, Tuti.
13:44Tutor,
13:45what brings you here?
13:46Nothing, Major.
13:48Just had a question.
13:50Why have you been
13:51pattering my Petrennis?
13:55No, 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 would have treated him perfectly.
14:14You're poisoning him against me.
14:17You were the one
14:18who rejected him back then.
14:19I 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.
14:31What?
14:32Still sulking?
14:33You and that bird.
14:34You know him too well.
14:35I'm 10,000 times better
14:37than that heap of feathers.
14:38You're not allowed
14:39to bind with him again.
14:41Relax.
14:42I'm not getting
14:42any other Petrennis.
14:44Ever.
15:00Do not use that spell!
15:11The faculty did a deep dive
15:12into the iceberg's progress
15:13last week.
15:14We tried pooling resources
15:15to force a human shift.
15:16It wasn't even close.
15:17We really thought he'd be the one
15:19to elevate the Academy's standing.
15:21Resources are not infinite,
15:22Professor.
15:23A patronym's of that kind.
15:24You can't force it.
15:26Besides,
15:27that bird...
15:30Rowan,
15:31what was that?
15:32Nothing.
15:50Slacking off again,
15:51Rowan Ashford?
15:56Behave.
15:57I'm doing my best.
16:00I'm doing my best.
16:04Nyx?
16:05What are you doing?
16:08Come on.
16:09Let's go for the fireworks.
16:18I'm shifting back.
16:20Don't want to be spotted.
16:25Don't you dare blame me!
16:26I didn't force you
16:28to choose this Academy.
16:31You're the one
16:32who said it was perfect
16:32for training.
16:33I could have been
16:34at the Potions Guild
16:35by now.
16:36Not being stuck
16:37in this dump penniless
16:39all because of you!
16:41So that's it.
16:42No wonder the bird
16:43was so obsessed with her.
16:45They knew each other
16:46all along.
16:47The faculty hand you
16:48to Rowan
16:48on a silver platter
16:49and you threw it
16:50in 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
16:56to 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
17:02is just their stepping stone
17:03Edward the Bird was doomed.
17:04He wasn't trying to ditch me.
17:06He planned to burn
17:06the Academy down
17:07and walk away
17:08with Serafina.
17:09Me!
17:25Shouldn't you be helping
17:26her train?
17:27What are you doing here?
17:31Exactly.
17:32My master actually pities me.
17:34She'd never run me ragged
17:35with drills.
17:36What's your excuse
17:36for abandoning yours?
17:38Absolute drama, Queen.
17:43I want that overgrown pigeon
17:44to know there's no room
17:45for 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
18:00why he was here.
18:01That bird is pure malice.
18:03Fire's remorse.
18:04He's sick of your little 2T.
18:10Something's wrong.
18:10I've gone out of my way
18:11to avoid him.
18:12If he wanted a new master
18:13he'd go to the faculty.
18:13He 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?
18:40Seraphina's Ice Bird
18:41is completely ghosting her.
18:43I saw it at the training grounds.
18:45It 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 Seraphina.
18:58Yeah.
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
19:32to keep him anyway.
19:33How about I talk to her?
19:34I'll find her a more
19:35budget-friendly pridgeness
19:37and have the Ice Bird
19:37I rang check.
19:38Bloody hell, shut it.
19:40Please.
19:41Nyx is all I need.
19:46Fine.
19:47But we have to deal with the bird.
19:48A Praetorinus that hates its master
19:50is useless to the academy.
19:51It's just dead weight
19:52for the student.
19:53Seraphina's been stuck
19:54at the Novus rank for ten years.
19:56The faculty has decided
19:57to send them down the mountain
19:58for 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.
20:08If they get Seraphina
20:10and the bird out of the way,
20:11I'll have time to guard the seal.
20:13I can still fix this.
20:17Headmaster, please.
20:19Don't send me away.
20:20The academy is my home.
20:22I can't leave.
20:23It was Tutor Rowan,
20:25wasn't it?
20:25She wants me gone,
20:26she can steal my iceberg
20:27for 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
20:35Nyx in return?
20:36A legendary bird
20:37for 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.
20:46I reinforced the wards myself.
20:49I should have felt so much
20:51as a breeze,
20:51but there was nothing.
20:53Three rare form protrentums
20:54just vanished
20:56into thin air.
20:59Not the work of dark creatures.
21:01No scent.
21:03This hall is carved
21:05into the mountain.
21:06The wards here negate
21:07affection and vanishing spells.
21:09Only someone with
21:10an academy mark can enter.
21:11To take three of them
21:12without a sound,
21:13you'd have to be
21:14one of our own,
21:15or know the research
21:16to part inside out.
21:24There, there.
21:25It's all right.
21:26The serpent brother
21:27just looks mean.
21:28He won't eat you.
21:30Sir,
21:30do Patratians ever
21:31kill their own kind?
21:33What a horrible thing to say!
21:34They're sentious beings!
21:35It's impossible!
21:37Don't listen, darling.
21:37Rowan's just telling
21:38scary stories.
21:39Humans devour their own.
21:41Patronums are no different.
21:42There's a type
21:43of the dark magic.
21:45Want to hear about it?
21:50You're sure a dark creature
21:52would risk coming here?
21:53Wild Patraniums don't
21:55have the luxury of potions.
21:57If they want to grow,
21:58the fastest way
21:59is to
22:00harvest mana
22:01from their own kind.
22:02I nearly died
22:03at the hands of one
22:04ten years ago.
22:06Nyx.
22:07The higher the rank
22:08of the victim,
22:08the faster the predator
22:09ascends.
22:10Once they get a taste
22:11for it,
22:12they always come back
22:13for more.
22:15All quiet.
22:16Please some rest, sir.
22:18We'll take the next
22:19watch tonight.
22:24Help!
22:25Trouble in the dorms!
22:29No.
22:46Blood.
22:54You were right.
22:55The mana was drained
22:57in an instant.
22:58Barely a sound.
22:59The master didn't sense
23:01the Patronus
23:01until it was too late.
23:10Was it him?
23:16Don't look.
23:18It's him.
23:21How do you know?
23:22I know the scent
23:23of a dark Patronus.
23:25That bird reeks of it.
23:32Have you heard of that
23:33old rumor about
23:34the disappearing
23:34Pretentians?
23:37Seriously?
23:38I just got into
23:39the research depart
23:39last 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 Ice Bird 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,
23:56I'm formally requesting
23:58the Ice Bird be confined.
24:00Even if there haven't been
24:01any new victims,
24:02we can't leave a threat
24:03like this lurking
24:03in the Academy.
24:05Do you think
24:06we haven't noticed
24:07he's off?
24:07But Rowan,
24:08what proof do you have?
24:11I...
24:12Without proof,
24:13how do we justify
24:13it to the students?
24:16Confine a Thur Patronus
24:17belong to an innocent student
24:18and we'd be risking
24:20the stability
24:20of the entire Academy.
24:23Nyx wouldn't lie to me.
24:24You'll slip up eventually,
24:25you bird.
24:38Nyx?
24:40Nyx!
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?
25:58Let me guess.
26:00You 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?
26:12Fine!
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.
26:20Save the act.
26:21Last life,
26:22you and Serafina
26:23used the whole Academy
26:24as a stepping stone
26:25and now you killed her.
26:26No!
26:28You think you get
26:29a 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, it's over.
27:33You can't stop this.
27:34Come with me.
27:36This time,
27:37I'll give you everything.
27:43Take her?
27:46Try.
27:48Like this.
27:50Focus.
27:51Don't get distracted.
27:55Say it.
27:57Aegis.
28:00VRLRA.
28:01VRLRA.
