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.
01:11You 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.
01:46I have a gun.
01:50I have a gun.
02:0910 years.
02:11and i never knew you hated me this much every touch every word it was all just to humiliate
02:17me and i was so obsessed with him even the professors who cared suffered because of me
02:21merlin if i had a do over i would never choose him
02:38i'm back the 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 petraindrium would answer me
02:53i believed it too rowan first in every exam the year's finest the strongest patroness should
03:02answer her call first
03:09what's a freshman doing here
03:12isn't that rowan's tutin she's the half-blood from the muggle world right
03:23wait the bird wants the rookie
03:25seraphina you've barely touched a wand your magic's unstable and even if icebird likes you
03:32now you'll never control him
03:35tutor i know i'm not your match but i've never seen anything like this in the muggle world
03:47they were already a pair i was just the villain in their way
03:54it's my turn
03:55rowan don't be stupid that bird is a legend
03:58you're the best we've got that snake is trash it's not worthy of you
04:09i choose this serpent
04:16she's actually walking away from the iceberg
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 because only then i would never lose anyone again
04:49but who's to say
04:51professor may i try one more time
04:56faster more precise
04:59the icebird clan they are the strongest guardians
05:02they 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
05:19he'll take human form
05:21we'll understand each other
05:22he'll look at me
05:23just once
05:25ten years
05:26i never even got a single thank you
05:37so
05:38he could be gentle
05:40just
05:41never to me
05:42the serpent is my choice
05:44i bind my soul to it
05:46this 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 iceberg
06:11what are you talking about
06:13seraphina and the icebird
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
06:25rowan
06:26you mean that black serpent
06:28it died back in second year
06:30what
06:32ten years
06:33i spent ten years raising him
06:36spoiling him
06:37even though he never wanted the bond
06:39i never regretted it
06:45i was a joke
06:47ten years
06:48nothing
06:49but raising a man for someone else
06:54since both parties have consented
06:57continue the ritual
06:58form the circle
07:19tutor i guess you and that snake really were meant for each other
07:24cut the act vos
07:25if 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
07:39he'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
08:03a patronus reflects its master
08:04if the wizard's core is too weak to hold the bond
08:07it withers
08:07so the bird didn't get weaker
08:08it's just her
08:09she's dragging it down
08:10high and mighty one second humbled the next
08:12what a fool told 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
08:35sea serpent mixed with sirin
08:37no wonder hargrid called you a mutt
08:45greedy little thing
08:46careful
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

11:09master
11:10are you sure
11:11you're the one holding the leash
11:15better study hard
11:17or
11:18you might not even have the power to take it off
11:25you might not be able to do it
11:26nikes
11:34tudor ashford
11:41what do you want
11:42who is he
11:43you've met
11:45my little black serpent from the ritual
11:47didn't you say we were a perfect match
11:50Tutor, I've come to ask for help. The ice bird needs too many potions. I can't afford them. My own
11:54training has completely stalled.
11:56And? You took that serpent and left me with the ice bird six months ago.
12:00You owe him. And me. You should help me raise him. And you're my tutor. Isn't that kind of your
12:04job?
12:05I'm your tutor, not your nami. I've taught you everything you need. If you can't handle him, that's your problem.
12:11I owe you nothing.
12:12How can you say that? You took the serpent and left me with him!
12:15Do you take me for a fool, Seraphina? Spend my resources raising a legend for you to play with?
12:18Do I look that thick? You really think you did nothing wrong, tutor?
12:21If a patronus like him doesn't break through, it's a loss for the academy.
12:25The academy isn't your pawn to play with me. As for you...
12:41If you can't handle him, break the bound. Leave the legend for someone who's actually worthy.
12:48You'll regret this, Rowan!
12:52Shut up!
12:56I thought you were actually going to give me away.
12:58Don't you have better things to do?
13:01Next!
13:02You spent the whole time looking at her.
13:05Am I not even allowed to tick her off?
13:07No.
13:08I don't like it.
13:11Master, it's me you're raising now.
13:13Are you jealous?
13:14So, Vary, stay away from the rubbish.
13:18Trying to boss me around? Catch me first?
13:24She came to see me today, you know?
13:29Said you entrusted me to her.
13:32Said I was supposed to be hers all along.
13:35How many potions do you need? Honestly, you can't even manage a bloody word!
13:40Rowan serpent drifted months ago. What can you do besides eat?
13:45Don't look at me like that. I don't owe you anything.
13:51You're hard to find, Tuti.
13:58Tutor, what brings you here?
14:00Nothing, Major. Just had a question.
14:03Why have you been pattering my Patrenus?
14:09No, no! You've got it wrong!
14:12I was looking for you!
14:15Master, she's lying.
14:18She told me you stole me from her.
14:20Said I was supposed to be hers.
14:22I didn't!
14:23I... I would have treated him perfectly!
14:27You're poisoning him against me!
14:31You were the one who rejected him back then.
14:33I won't say another word this time.
14:36Next time, the tribunal will decide.
14:39And if you get expelled, don't come blaming me.
14:46What? Still sulking?
14:47You and that bird. You know him too well.
14:49I'm ten thousand times better than that heap of feathers.
14:52You're not allowed to bind with him again.
14:55Relax.
14:56I'm not getting any other Patrenus.
14:58Ever.
15:14Do not use that spell!
15:26The faculty did a deep dive into the iceberg's progress last week.
15:29We tried pooling resources to force a human shift.
15:31It wasn't even close.
15:32We really thought he'd be the one to elevate the Academy's standing.
15:36Resources are not infinite, Professor.
15:38A patronym's of that kind.
15:39You can't force it.
15:40Besides, that bird...
15:45Rowan, what was that?
15:47Nothing.
16:05Slacking off again, Rowan Ashford?
16:11Behave.
16:12I'm doing my best.
16:20Nyx!
16:21What are you doing?
16:23Come on.
16:24Let's go for the fireworks.
16:32Shh.
16:33I'm shifting back.
16:35Don't want to be spotted.
16:41Don't you dare blame me.
16:43I didn't force you to choose this Academy.
16:47You're the one who said it was perfect for training.
16:49I could have been at the Potions Guild by now.
16:53Not being stuck in this dump, penniless, all because of you!
16:57So that's it.
16:58No wonder the bird was so obsessed with her.
17:01They knew each other all along.
17:03The faculty hands you to Rowan on a silver platter and you threw it in her face.
17:07Now she's done with you.
17:08She's the Headmaster's favorite.
17:10She has everything.
17:11You'd have shifted to human form years ago if you'd stayed with her.
17:15It was all a setup.
17:16I wasn't special.
17:17Just the mark.
17:18The research department is just their stepping stone.
17:19Edward the Bird was doomed.
17:20He wasn't trying to ditch me.
17:22He planned to burn the Academy down and walk away with Serafina.
17:42Shouldn't you be helping her train?
17:44What are you doing here?
17:47Exactly.
17:48My master actually pities me.
17:51She'd never run me ragged with drills.
17:53What's your excuse for abandoning yours?
17:55Absolute drama 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.
18:15I ignore him.
18:16I need to know why he was here.
18:18That bird is pure malice.
18:20Fire's remorse.
18:21He's sick of your little 2T.
18:27Something's wrong.
18:28I've gone out of my way to avoid him.
18:29If he wanted a new master, he'd go to the faculty.
18:31He wouldn't come to me.
18:33Unless?
18:33No time to explain.
18:34I have to go.
18:47Thank Mersin.
18:48The seal is intact.
18:52The Ice Bird.
18:53He's back from the past life too.
18:57Have you heard?
18:58Seraphina's Ice Bird is completely ghosting her.
19:02I saw it at the training grounds.
19:03It refused every single command.
19:05She looked like an idiot.
19:07And it won't stop pestering Rowan.
19:09The bird follows every time Tutor Rowan shows up.
19:13You'd think she was its master, not Serpafina.
19:29Honestly, Rowan.
19:30That bird is like one of those blokes who dumps you and then spends the rest of his life paying
19:35for a senchance.
19:41He ignored you when he had you, and now he's realised you're the best he'll ever get.
19:48Blimey, that's terrifying.
19:50The girl can't afford to keep him anyway.
19:52How about I talk to her?
19:53I'll find her a more budget-friendly prigioness and have the Ice Bird I range her.
19:57Bloody hell, shut it.
19:58Please.
20:00Nyx is all I need.
20:05Fine.
20:06But we have to deal with the bird.
20:07A Praetorinus that hates its master is useless to the Academy.
20:10It's just dead weight for the student.
20:12Seraphina's been stuck at the Novus Rank for ten years.
20:15The faculty has decided to send them down the mountain for field training.
20:18Besides, with you and Nyx here, the Academy won't miss one bird.
20:24The Headmaster and the faculty are still backing me.
20:26Good.
20:27If they get Serpafina and the bird out of the way,
20:30I'll have time to guard the seal.
20:32I can still fix this.
20:37Headmaster, 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?
20:45She wants me gone, she can steal my Ice Bird for herself!
20:47Miss Voss, don't read too much into it.
20:49This was the faculty's call, all of us.
20:51If she wants him so badly, I'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, a Patronus is a bonded soul, not a tradable good.
21:04Now go, prepare for your departure.
21:06I reinforced the wards myself.
21:09I should have felt so much as a breeze, but there was nothing.
21:12Three rare form protrentums just vanished into 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.
21:29Only 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.
21:45It's alright.
21:46The serpent brother just looks mean.
21:48He won't eat you.
21:50Sir, do patratians ever kill their own kind?
21:53Huh?
21:53What a horrible thing to say!
21:55They're sentient beings!
21:56It's impossible!
21:57Don't listen, darling.
21:58Rowan's just telling a scary story.
22:00Humans devour their own.
22:02Patronums are no different.
22:03There's a type of the dark magic.
22:05Want to hear about it?
22:11You're sure a dark creature would risk coming here?
22:14Wild patroniums don't have the luxury of potions.
22:18If they want to grow, the fastest way is to harvest mana from their own kind.
22:23I nearly died at the hands of one ten years ago.
22:26Nyx.
22:27The higher the rank of the victim, the faster the predator ascends.
22:31Once they get a taste for it, they always come back for more.
22:36All quiet.
22:37Please some rest, sir.
22:39We'll take the next watch tonight.
22:45Help!
22:49Trouble in the dorms.
22:50No.
23:07Blood.
23:15You were right.
23:17The mana was drained in an instant.
23:19Barely a sound.
23:21The master didn't sense the Patronus until it was too late.
23:31Was it him?
23:33Was it him?
23:38Don't look.
23:40It's him.
23:43How do you know?
23:44I know the scent of a dark Patronius.
23:47That bird reeks of it.
23:54Have you heard of that old rumour about the disappearing pretentians?
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 to keep us on our toes.
24:08Since that day, the iceberg went quiet.
24:10No more accidents.
24:11Two years on, only the cat's owner remembers.
24:14To everyone else, it's just academy lore.
24:18Headmaster, I'm formally requesting the iceberg be confined.
24:23Even if there haven't been any new victims, we 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, what proof do you have?
24:34I...
24:34Without proof, how do we justify it to the students?
24:38Confine a Thur Patronus belong to an innocent student,
24:41and we'd be risking the stability of the entire academy.
24:45Nyx wouldn't lie to me.
24:46You'll slip up eventually, you bird.
25:02Nyx?
25:04Nyx!
25:20The seal.
25:21What is that bloody bird up to now?
25:25Nyx!
25:50Get back!
25:56Get away from him!
26:04You did that on purpose!
26:08Did what?
26:09You murdered your own master and drained every drop of her mana.
26:14If I hadn't caught you,
26:16my 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!
26:42We're starting over!
26:42This serpent won't get a chance!
26:44Save the act!
26:46Last life, you and Serafina 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!
26:58I'll kill you!
27:04Too late!
27:06I'm one step away!
27:27Rowan!
27:28The 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,
27:58It's over!
27:59It's over!
27:59You can't stop this!
28:01Come with me!
28:02This time,
28:03I'll give you everything!
28:09Take her?
28:11Ha!
28:12Try!
28:14Like this!
28:16Focus!
28:17Don't get distracted!
28:21Say it!
28:23No!
28:24Agus!
28:26Ve'er El Honour!
28:28We are lost!
28:31We are lost!
