00:14Agus Viorel!
00:22Don't be afraid.
00:24We'll get out.
00:30One left.
00:32This should heal you.
00:38You've got this.
00:45I knew it.
00:47I knew you could.
00:48Are you alright?
00:49You gave me a heart attack.
01:03So that's how it is.
01:05I'm sorry, tutor.
01:07He never loved you.
01:08It was always me.
01:12You should have seen it coming.
01:14All this time?
01:15Then why?
01:16Why didn't you go to her at the summoning?
01:18Go to her?
01:19You're her tutor, Robyn.
01:21The headmaster's favorite.
01:22She stood only because of you.
01:27How could you?
01:29I gave you everything.
01:31I would have died for you, and this is what I get?
01:34How can you say that, tutor?
01:36If you hadn't told him about the seal, none of this would have happened.
01:42The headmaster.
01:43The headmaster.
02:13Every touch.
02:15Every word.
02:15It was all just to humiliate me.
02:17And I was so obsessed with him.
02:19Even the professors who cared, suffered because of me.
02:22Merlin.
02:22If I had a do-over, I would never choose him.
02:38I'm back.
02:39The day of the binding.
02:42I'm Rowan Ashford, top of the Magical Research Department, Headmaster Thorn's adopted daughter.
02:48In my past life, everyone thought the strongest Petraindrian would answer me.
02:54I believed it too.
02:55Rowan, first in every exam, the year's finest.
02:59The strongest patroness should answer her call first.
03:09What's a freshman doing here?
03:12Isn't that Rowan's tut-in?
03:14She's the half-blood from the Muggle world, right?
03:23Wait, the bird wants the rookie?
03:26Serafina, you've barely touched a wand.
03:29Your magic's unstable, and even if Ice Bird likes you now, you'll never control him.
03:35Shooter, I know I'm not your match, but I've never seen anything like this in the Muggle world.
03:42I just...
03:47They were already a pair.
03:49I was just the villain in their way.
03:54It's my turn.
03:55Rowan, don't be stupid.
03:57That bird is a legend.
03:58You're the best we've got.
03:59That snake is trash.
04:00It's not worthy of you.
04:09I choose this serpent.
04:16She's actually walking away from the Ice Bird.
04:19All those years being the top, just for this?
04:23Trading a legend for a dying snake?
04:25She's lost her bloody mind.
04:39From that moment on, I swore I would become the strongest mage.
04:44Have the most powerful guardian.
04:46Because only then, I would never lose anyone again.
04:50But who's to say...
04:51Professor!
04:52May I try one more time?
04:56Faster, more precise.
04:59The Ice Bird Clan.
05:01They are the strongest guardians.
05:03They will protect you from all harm.
05:05If I had the strongest guardian, no one would ever be able to hurt me again.
05:11Will it choose me?
05:16So, it's never me.
05:17If I just try a little harder, he'll take human form.
05:21We'll understand each other.
05:22He'll look at me.
05:23Just once.
05:25Ten years.
05:27I never even got a single thank you.
05:38So, he could be gentle.
05:40Just never to me.
05:42The Serpent is my choice.
05:44I bind my soul to it.
05:46Wow, this is throwing her future away just to prove a point.
05:49She'll regret this for the rest of her life.
05:52I gave my life for him.
05:54Spoiled him.
05:55Thought he'd turn back.
05:57But all I got was betrayal.
05:59Shame.
06:00And a death without mercy.
06:06Look, I know Vos is your tutee, but you're being too soft.
06:09She's basically moved in with your Ice Bird.
06:11What are you talking about?
06:13Serafina and the Ice Bird?
06:14She's with him every time you left the school.
06:16She told everyone you asked her to watch over him.
06:18I never asked her to do that.
06:21Doesn't she have her own predentus?
06:24Why is she messing with mine, Rowan?
06:26You mean that black serpent?
06:28It died back in second year.
06:31What?
06:32Ten years.
06:33I spent ten years raising him.
06:36Spoiling him.
06:37Even though he never wanted the bond, I never regretted it.
06:46I was a joke.
06:47Ten years.
06:48Nothing.
06:49But raising a man.
06:50For someone else.
06:54Since both parties have consented, continue the ritual.
06:58Form the circle.
07:19Tutor, I guess you and that snake really were meant for each other.
07:24Cut the act, boss.
07:26If Rowan hadn't handed him over, you wouldn't get near him.
07:28Stop playing the victim.
07:31Here we go again.
07:32The water works.
07:40He's taking human form?
07:41High-level petroniums don't even need a wizard to shift.
07:44Merlin.
07:45She's actually pulling this off in one go.
08:02What's wrong?
08:03What's wrong?
08:03A patronus reflects its master.
08:05If the wizard's core is too weak to hold the bond, it withers.
08:07So the bird didn't get weaker.
08:09It's just her.
08:09She's dragging it down.
08:10High and mighty one second.
08:11Humbled the next.
08:12What a fool.
08:13Told you.
08:13A patronus like that doesn't just settle for anyone.
08:27Look at you.
08:29Barely a runt.
08:30And your anatomy is a mess.
08:32A tail fin?
08:34You're a hybrid.
08:36Sea serpent mixed with sirrin.
08:38No wonder Hargrid called you a mutt.
08:45Greedy little thing.
08:47Careful.
08:47I could have laced that water with a potion to send you straight to Merlin.
09:00Relax.
09:01I chose you.
09:03I'm not letting you die on me now.
09:19Who the hell are you?
09:21This is the research department.
09:22Don't even try it.
09:28You...
09:28You're the serpent?
09:35Manners, please.
09:36I have a name.
09:38Nyx.
09:40You...
09:41You can take human form?
09:42I've been doing this since I was five, Master.
09:45How?
09:45How is that even possible?
09:47Is it meant to be hard?
09:48We're born with it.
09:50Then why were you...
09:51So weak?
09:52I was ambushed.
09:54Badly hurt.
09:55Then brought here.
09:58You.
09:59Your magic.
10:00It healed me enough to shift.
10:08The bound is sealed.
10:10I am your patronus.
10:13Why so tense?
10:15You're the master.
10:16I'm just the servant.
10:18How do I know you're telling the truth?
10:20You're a mystery with a mile-long list of enemies.
10:22Why should I trust you?
10:30If you don't trust me, Master...
10:33Just put a collar on me.
10:42You're the master.
10:43Pin me.
10:44Then I'm not going anywhere, huh?
10:50Maybe you're just too scared, Master.
10:52I'm...
10:53I'm not!
10:57You asked for this.
11:04You actually knew the spell.
11:06You told me to.
11:09Master, are you sure you're the one holding the leash?
11:15Better study hard.
11:17Or you might not even have the power to take it off.
11:21Hey!
11:25Thanks!
11:27underwear, Mike.

12:17for you to play with do i look that thick you really think you did nothing wrong tutor if a
12:22patronus like him doesn't break through it's a loss for the academy the academy isn't your pawn to play
12:27with me as for you

12:48you'll regret this ruin
12:55i thought you were actually going to give me away don't you have better things to do

14:52you're not allowed to bind with him again
14:56relax i'm not getting any other prey
14:58man
15:14do not use that spell
15:26the faculty did a deep dive into the iceberg's progress last week we tried pooling resources
15:30to force a human shift it wasn't even close we really thought he'd be the one to elevate
15:34the academy's standing resources are not infinite professor a patronym's of that kind
15:39you can't force it besides that bur- Rowan what was that nothing
16:05slacking off again Rowan Ashford
16:11behave I'm doing my best
16:20Nyx what are you doing come on let's go for the fireworks
16:32shh I'm shifting back don't want to be spotted
16:41don't you dare blame me I didn't force you to choose this academy
16:47you're the one who said it was perfect for training I could have been at the potions
16:51guild by now not being stuck in this dump penniless all because of you
16:56so that's it no wonder the bird was so obsessed with her they knew each other all along the faculty
17:03hand you to Rowan on a silver platter and you threw it in her face now she's done with you
17:08she's the headmaster's favorite she has everything you'd have shifted to human form years ago if you'd stayed with her
17:14it was all a set up I wasn't special just the mark the research department is just their stepping stone
17:19Edward the bird was doomed he wasn't trying to ditch me he planned to burn the academy down and walk
17:24away with Serafina
17:42shouldn't you be helping her train what are you doing here
17:48exactly my master actually pities me she'd never run me ragged with drills what's your excuse for abandoning yours absolute
17:55drama queen
17:59I want that overgrown pigeon to know there's no room for him in our relationship
18:06and what relationship is that
18:10whatever you want it to be
18:14the ice bird has left I ignore him I need to know why he was here that bird is pure
18:19malice
18:19buyer's remorse he's sick of your little 2T
18:27something's wrong I've gone out of my way to avoid him if he wanted a new master he'd go to
18:30the faculty he wouldn't come to me
18:33unless no time to explain I have to go
18:47like mersin the seal is intact
18:52the ice bird he's back from the past life too
18:57have you heard Serafina's ice bird is completely ghosting her
19:01I saw it at the training grounds it refused every single command she looked like an idiot and it won't
19:07stop pestering rowing
19:09the bird follows every time tutor rowan shows up you'd think she was its master not Serafina
19:29honestly rowan that bird is like one of those blokes who dumps you and then spends the rest of his
19:34life paying for a send chance
19:41he ignored you when he had you
19:43and now he's realized you're the best he'll ever get
19:49blimey that's terrifying
19:50the girl can't afford to keep him anyway
19:52how about I talk to her I'll find her a more budget-friendly
19:55and have the ice and I ranked up
19:57bloody hell shut it please
20:00Nyx is all I need
20:05fine
20:05but we have to deal with the bird
20:07a praetronus that hates its master is useless to the academy
20:10it's just dead weight for the student
20:12Serafina's been stuck at the novice rank for ten years
20:15the faculty has decided to send them down the mountain for field training
20:18besides
20:18with you and Nyx here
20:20the academy won't miss one bird
20:24the headmaster and the faculty are still backing me
20:26good
20:27if they get Serafina and the bird out of the way
20:30I'll have time to guard the seal
20:33I can still fix this
20:36headmaster please
20:38don't send me away
20:39the academy is my home
20:41I can't leave
20:42it was tutor rowan wasn't it
20:44she wants me gone she can steal my ice bird for herself
20:47Miss Voss
20:48don't read too much into it
20:49this was the faculty's call
20:51all of us
20:51if she wants him so badly
20:52I'll hand him over
20:53but shouldn't she give me Naxx in return?
20:56a legendary bird for a common sea spur
20:58any way you slice it she's coming out ahead
21:00Miss Voss
21:01a Patronus is a bonded soul
21:02not a tradable good
21:04now go
21:04prepare for your departure
21:06I reinforced the wards myself
21:09I should have felt so much as a breeze
21:11but there was nothing
21:12three rare form Patrentums
21:14just vanished
21:16into thin air
21:19not the work of dark creatures
21:21no scent
21:23this hall is carved into the mountain
21:26the wards here negate affection and vanishing spells
21:28only someone with an academy mark can enter
21:31to take three of them without a sound
21:33you'd have to be one of our own
21:35or know the research depart inside out
21:44there there it's alright
21:46the serpent brother just looks mean
21:48he won't eat you
21:50sir do patrations ever kill their own kind?
21:53what a horrible thing to say
21:54they're sentiest beings
21:56it's impossible
21:56don't listen darling
21:58Rowan's just telling scary story
21:59humans devour their own
22:02patronums are no different
22:03there's a type of the dark magic
22:05wanna hear about it?
22:11you're sure a dark creature would risk coming here?
22:14wild Patraniums don't
22:15have the luxury of potions
22:17if they want to grow
22:19the fastest way is to
22:21harvest mana from their own kind
22:23I nearly died at the hands of one ten years ago
22:26nikes
22:27the higher the rank of the victim
22:29the faster the predator ascends
22:31once they get a taste for it
22:33they always come back from one
22:35all quiet
22:37please some rest sir
22:38we'll take the next watch tonight
22:45help
22:48trouble in the dorms
22:50trouble in the dorms
23:07blood
23:15you were right
23:16the mana was drained in an instant
23:19barely a sound
23:21the master didn't sense the patronus
23:23until it was too late
23:31was it him?
23:38don't look
23:40it's him
23:43how do you know?
23:44i know the scent of a dark patronus
23:47that bird reeks of it
23:54have you heard of that old rumour
23:56about the disappearing pretendians?
23:59seriously?
24:00i just got into the research department last year
24:02that actually happened?
24:03no idea
24:05might just be a ghost story
24:06to keep us on our toes
24:08since that day
24:09the ice bird went quiet
24:10no more accidents
24:11two years on
24:12only the cat's owner remembers
24:14to everyone else
24:15it's just academy lore
24:19headmaster
24:19i'm formally requesting the ice bird be confined
24:23even if there haven't been any new victims
24:25we can't leave a threat like this lurking in the academy
24:28do you think we haven't noticed he's off?
24:30but Rowan
24:31what proof do you have?
24:34i...
24:34without proof
24:35how do we justify it to the students?
24:38confine a third patronus belong to an innocent student
24:41and we'd be risking the stability of the entire academy
24:45nikes wouldn't lie to me
24:47you'll slip up eventually you bird
25:02nikes?
25:04nikes!
25:04nikes!
25:10nikes!
25:12nikes!
25:13nikes!
25:19nikes!
25:21seal
25:21what is that bloody bird up to now?
25:41the ice bird
25:43he shifted
25:47a half percent
25:52isn't it weighted
25:54nikes!..
25:55GET BACK!
25:56GET AWAY
25:56FROM HIM! nikes!
26:05a half percent
26:05you did that
26:06on purpose! did what?
26:09You murdered your own master and drained every drop of her mana.
26:14If I hadn't caught you, my master would have been next.
26:19You're back from the dead too, aren't you, Rowan?
26:21What do you want?
26:23Let me guess.
26:25You knew at the summoning ritual.
26:27That's why you rejected me.
26:29Who gave you the right to walk away?
26:32This black snake?
26:36Fine!
26:37Watch me, Rowan.
26:38I'll unleash the horrors right now.
26:40We're starting over.
26:42This serpent won't get a chance.
26:44Save the act.
26:46Last life, you and Seraphina used the whole academy as a stepping stone, and now you killed her.
26:51No!
26:53You think you get a third chance?
26:55Wait for the ancient bond to burn you.
27:04Too late.
27:06I'm one step away.
27:27Rowan, the seal is failing.
27:30Hold back the tide of monsters.
27:32I'll handle the resealing.
27:49You can't stop it, Rowan.
27:51Spend another life with me.
27:53I promise.
27:54I'll be devoted only to you.
27:57Rowan, it's over.
27:59Rowan, it's over.
27:59You can't stop this.
28:01Come with me.
28:02This time, I'll give you everything.
28:05No!
28:10Take her?
28:11Ha.
28:12Try.
28:14Like this.
28:16Focus.
28:17Don't get distracted.
28:21Say it.
28:26Viral Ra.
28:27Let's go.
