00:28You
00:50ARCHMASTER ADAM!
00:59My story begins seven years ago.
01:14What did I tell you about your stupid magic?
01:17Ivy wanted some meat. That's for my grandson.
01:20You girls don't deserve it.
01:23This family's future is sitting right here.
01:26My grandson, he's gonna be a knight in the king's court.
01:30Maybe just a little bit for the girls.
01:32I said shut your mouth, stupid woman!
01:39They're just gonna marry out anyway, Ma. What's the point?
01:47Luke, they're your sisters.
01:51Luke's right. Soon as they marry, they're gone.
01:55Ain't gonna give this family a damning. Luke's our only future.
02:00Open in the name of the king.
02:07Luke, report to the castle for knight training within seven days. No delays.
02:16Father, I'm actually gonna be a knight!
02:20That's my boy!
02:23Oh my golden boy! I knew it! I always knew it!
02:28Wait! Father, Grandma. The training camp, we have to pay.
02:32And I'll need coins for the journey. All told, a hundred pence or so.
02:37A hundred pence? Where in God's name of us to get that much money?
02:40You can get the money, yeah? I mean, once I'm a knight, we're Gentry. We're somebody!
02:47Luke's right. Whatever it takes, you're going.
02:52First thing tomorrow, I'm selling your sister.
02:59Father, what did you just say?
03:01Selling you to fund my knight training. What, you deaf?
03:04Sell the older one first. She'll marry out anyway, we'll get a better price.
03:08No! Don't you dare!
03:09You raise your voice again and I'll sell you tonight!
03:13Which one of you is Anna?
03:16By the king's command, you have been accepted into the Ravenswild Academy of Magic!
03:30You did it, sis! All those knights, it paid off!
03:37Luke's training costs are killing us! You're not going! End of it!
03:42Grandma, the academy's free, and I can earn my own way there.
03:46Don't even think about it. Your place is marrying well, bringing in silver for Luke.
03:51Yeah, worry about keeping your future husband happy instead.
04:00Father, I'm not asking for a single penny from this family. Going to Ravensville, learning magic, it's all I've ever
04:06dreamed of. Please, just let me go.
04:10Fifteen years we fed you! Time you pay us back!
04:17I never asked to be born! Fifteen years, treated like dirt!
04:21Luke, always Luke! He gets a knight's train and you'd sell me for it!
04:25But me? The greatest magic academy in the kingdom and you won't let me go!
04:30Because we're girls, so we're nothing, invisible, worthless!
04:37Look at you. Stubborn old mule, selling your own daughter like cattle. You're no father. Never were.
04:48David, enough!
04:50Don't hit her! Please don't hit her!
04:52Go get the old Higgins next door. We're selling her now!
04:57I won't let you sell me.
05:00I'm going to Ravensworld to learn magic, whether you like it or not!
05:04Ugh!
05:17What are you doing? Let me go!
05:21Let me go!
05:22You want to be wild? Then we'll find you a man to teach you some manners!
05:26No! Please!
05:30Luke told you? Yeah. A hundred pence. She's yours.
05:39Stay away from me!
05:42You're a witch! You should be burned!
05:43Help! No! Help! No! Help! No!
06:05Dark magic?
06:07You're a witch.
06:09You should be burned.
06:11There's a witch in here.
06:12Help!
06:20Don't be afraid.
06:21He just passed out.
06:25Who are you?
06:26Denver.
06:26Master Dedvin?
06:27The Magus of Ravenswill?
06:29I've dreamed of going to Ravenswill my whole life.
06:31Of becoming a mage.
06:32Like you.
06:33That's why I'm here.
06:34You have boundless magic in me.
06:36But potential means nothing without control.
06:39You need to learn how to release it.
06:42Come with me.
06:48Vanish.
07:02They're coming, sweetheart.
07:04Take this.
07:05Go.
07:05Our comb.

13:39You demon.
13:40You dare come back?
13:43You'll be the death of us all.
13:45I came back for one reason.
13:47To take Mama and Ivy away from you.
13:50From all of you.
13:51Like hell you will.
13:52Ivy's married now.
13:54You can do nothing about it.
13:55You sold Ivy like you sold me.
13:58What, still not close enough to the royals?
14:00Shut up.
14:01You put a spell on them, didn't you?
14:02Mother and Ivy, turning them against us.
14:04They're choosing freedom.
14:06Something you wouldn't understand.
14:07Dark magic's poisoned your mind.
14:09We all know it.
14:10You're a witch.
14:11I learned magic.
14:13To patrol you use it.
14:14I never made it as a knight.
14:16Probably because you cursed me.
14:18No.
14:19Because you're useless.
14:21Liar.
14:21You didn't curse me.
14:22Let God strike me down right now.
14:26Oh.
14:27Hear that?
14:28Even God's had enough.
14:30Anything else to say?
14:31God's wrath.
14:32It's coming for us.
14:34The village is doomed.
14:36She'll destroy us all.
14:38We'll die because of her.
14:39You are a witch.
14:41You've angered God himself.
14:42You must pay.
14:44Seize her.
14:45She'll answer for this for all of us.
14:59Don't hurt my daughter.
15:04Don't hurt my daughter.
15:07Shatter.
15:11The sack!
15:13It's glowing!
15:20It's glowing!
15:21Sis!
15:23You're amazing!
15:26Anna, how did you learn to do that?
15:29Long story.
15:31But trust me.
15:32I didn't learn dark magic.
15:37I knew it.
15:38I knew you wouldn't.
15:40Ha!
15:41You think I'm stupid like her?
15:43You expect me to believe your crap?
15:46We all saw it!
15:48Dark magic!
15:49Then where were you?
15:50Seven years.
15:52Not a single visit.
15:54What are you hiding?
15:55I couldn't leave Ravenswood.
15:57I was training.
15:59And now...
16:02I am something more.
16:06I am Archmast.
16:13Did she really say Archmast?
16:15Archmaester's answer only to the king himself!
16:18A farm girl like her tied to the crown?
16:20Please.
16:22Sweetheart.
16:24Is it true?
16:28You're really an Archmast.
16:33It's true, Mama.
16:34Oh, my baby!
16:37I'm super proud of you!
16:43You actually believe her?
16:45Gods, you're gullible.
16:49Seven years and you're an Archmaster?
16:51What?
16:51Did you buy a diploma?
16:53Takes decades to reach that rank.
16:55He's right.
16:56Your brother's been grinding for years.
16:57Still not a knight.
16:58And you expect us to believe you're an Archmast?
17:01Archmaesters serve the king himself.
17:03You think you're better than Luke.
17:05You!
17:10So you don't believe me?
17:11Oh, I believe you.
17:12Believe you joined some cult.
17:13Lost your mind to dark magic.
17:14So here's the deal.
17:15You leave now and never come back.
17:17Or we burn you.
17:19I'm not letting you anywhere near my future wife!
17:22Flora's coming.
17:24Any minute now.
17:25Did you hear that?
17:27Luke's bride, Flora, is the king's niece!
17:31We'll be royalty!
17:35Still here?
17:36Fine.
17:37Don't blame me when blood's on your hands.
17:40I'll go.
17:42But Mama and Ivy come with me.
17:48Ivy's mine.
17:50You don't touch her.
17:56You destroy your brother's future!
17:58Is that what you want?
18:09Luke!
18:10What's the meaning of this?
18:12You were supposed to greet me.
18:16Flora, I've run into a little problem.
18:19I swear this will never happen again.
18:23Uh, who is this woman?
18:30Uh, I don't know her.
18:32She has nothing to do with me.
18:34You must be Flora.
18:36I'm Anna, Luke's sister.
18:39You're Anna?
18:40The witch who practiced dark magic?
18:43You're mistaken.
18:44What's going on, Luke?
18:46Didn't you tell me this filth was dead?
18:49Honey, don't get upset.
18:51We'll kick her out right now!
18:53Yes, yes, yes.
18:54All being as pluralists.
18:56Yes, darling, calm down!
18:58You want me to calm down?
19:05You said you could find a pure spirit to help me recover.
19:08That's why I agreed to marry you.
19:10I didn't lie to you.
19:13It's all this witch's fault.
19:16My lady, I had her captured.
19:18But I received a fine notation.
19:20But that witch took her away.
19:22You can take my daughter anytime.
19:24Yes, it's all her fault.
19:39My arm!
19:41You're a witch!
19:42A devil!
19:44Where is the witch?
19:49Master James.
19:51The guardian mage of our village.
19:53Archmach Anna sent him.
19:55He's the one.
19:56Casting the protective ward.
19:58That woman looks familiar.
20:01Could it be?
20:03Who is she?
20:05That's Anna, David's girl.
20:07You're the so-called witch?
20:09She came back without warning, Master.
20:12Please, get rid of her.
20:12That's right.
20:13We didn't ask her to come back.
20:14Dr. James, you can't cast the ward with a witch here.
20:17Please, deal with her first.
20:19For the last time, I am not a witch.
20:23She's the one who took my arm!
20:25Devil worshipped her.
20:26You dare deny it?
20:30You really don't recognize me?
20:32What?
20:33Learn a few tricks and suddenly you're an archmast?
20:37I am archmast.
20:39I sent my deputy Alice to assign you to this village.
20:43To cast my ward.
20:46Archmast Anna?
20:50Don't be fooled by her.
20:52We all just saw her use black magic.
20:54How could she possibly be the archmaester?
20:57Witch!
21:04Besides, Archmast Anna is my personal portmate.
21:07She's with me every single day.
21:09How could this woman be?
21:11You devil!
21:12I almost fell for your lies!
21:15You say Archmast Anna is your personal portmate?
21:18Funny, I've never heard of that.
21:20If you're really her, prove it!
21:24That's easy enough.
21:25I can stop the array formation right now.
21:29Fine, go ahead.
21:30I'd like to see what you're capable of.
21:44This place is back corrupted by black magic.
21:46We must speed up the array formation.
21:49Had enough of your little act?
21:52Archmast Anna's protective array is immensely powerful.
21:55It repels wild beasts, blocks plague, and turns even wind and snow away.
22:00Your petty black magic can't even scratch it.
22:03You can choose not to believe me now.
22:05But when the gift I sent arrives, you'll have no choice but to believe.
22:09Gift?
22:09We should be thankful if you don't curse us with your black magic.
22:12Master James, take this lying witch away at once.
22:16Yes!
22:16Don't let her ruin my plans!
22:18Whoever helps me catch this witch gets a hefty reward!
22:30Don't you dare touch my mother and sister!
22:34The gift has arrived!
22:36A special gift from Archmast Anna.
22:45This is my gift to you.
22:52The ancestral stone?
22:54That's right.
22:55Lord God, I thank you.
22:57Our village's guardian, the one that's been missing for years.
23:01You're kidding.
23:02Please.
23:03Probably some dark magic trick she cooked up to fool us all.
23:07Silence, you foolish woman!
23:09You know nothing.
23:10Those crystals hold the blessings, the memories of our ancestors, generations past.
23:15No magic can forge this.
23:18Yeah, yeah, yeah.
23:19What did you just say?
23:21An insult to every ancestor we have.
23:24You will show respect.
23:26Guards!
23:27Seize them!
23:28Sheriff, please, forgive us just this once.
23:31Yes, Sheriff, please.
23:33My grandmother meant no harm.
23:35She just didn't want us fooled by this witch.
23:37You meant no disrespect, Sheriff.
23:39I swear it.
23:39Just give us a chance.
23:40Let us off, please.
23:41I'll let it pass once.
23:44We'll speak against the stone again, and you answer to me.
23:49Sheriff never gets that angry.
23:51It has to be real.
23:52The stone vanished decades ago, and Anna brings it back.
23:55She's something else now.
23:57That was incredible.
24:00Thank you, Anna.
24:01The village, it's safer now.
24:04Anna, you've given more to this land than anyone.
24:08From now on, you're our savior.
24:12Anyone object!
24:14You brought back our guardian, Anna.
24:16Please step onto the altar.
24:18The people shall kneel to you.
24:20Not so fast!
24:21She's lying to you.
24:22All of you.
24:23What do you mean, she's lying?
24:27She didn't bring the stone.
24:29She didn't find it.
24:31None of it was her.
24:32Not her?
24:33And who?
24:34So we were all wrong about her?
24:38So you're claiming I had nothing to do with the stone?
24:41Exactly.
24:43You fooled them, but not me.
