Short filmTranscript
00:00And the long-lost Olympian goddess, separated from my parents for 18 years, just finally returned.
00:07When I was about to get into temple, I saw my stepsister, Kalista, is sobbing uncontrollably in the arms of
00:13the high priest and the manager.
00:15The manager comforts her gently.
00:17High priest, manager, you have no idea what she did.
00:22She told everyone I cheated on the magic test by using forbidden spells.
00:27She said the priest bribed the judges and that I traded favors for the air title.
00:32While the priest's face rose darker with every hair, the divine power whippling around them turned increasingly frigid and stern.
00:40How could I spread rumors about her?
00:42I just returned, and I'm mute.
00:44I try to speak, but only small come out, like a lock is on my throat.
00:49I've been mute since I was a child, not by birth, but because of a curse.
00:52Her first words were inside of my face, so I was silenced forever.
00:57I've learned to use divine sign language and a stone tablet to talk to people.
01:01I raise my hand to sign the word, no.
01:04Suddenly, my brother Helios stands up from his white throne.
01:07Luma, enough!
01:09You've hurt Kalista so much, and now you want to lie?
01:12I freeze, my hands stopping in mid-air.
01:15Helios is the heir of Zeus.
01:17He has protected Kalista since the day I arrived.
01:20He looks at her with love, as if she is his true sister.
01:23But he looks at me like I am a piece of trash covered in dirt.
01:26Brother, please don't talk to my sister like that!
01:30Maybe she just wants to fit in, so she acts out to get attention.
01:35I don't blame her, I really don't.
01:37You are just too kind for your own good.
01:41Lumina, we brought you back for a home, not to bully others.
01:45Stop using those dirty tricks you learned in the human world.
01:48My children should have dignity, even if they grew up far away.
01:51But you just spread rumors and hurt Kalista.
01:54You are a disgrace.
01:55I heard she grew up in the wild.
01:57She's just a rude girl.
01:58I can't believe she is so evil inside.
02:01Miss Kalira is so sweet.
02:02How could anyone be so mean to her?
02:04Look, she's still signing.
02:06She's just faking it to steal Kalira's spot.
02:08Their words are like needles.
02:09Making my ears ache.
02:11I take a deep breath and reach for my magic communication tablet.
02:14He is so strong.
02:16His golden light burns my skin.
02:17What are you trying to use to trick us now?
02:19I struggle and pull out the cold jade tablet with my other hand.
02:23Before I can use it, Helios snaps it in half with his bare hands.
02:26I stare at him, feeling my heart turn to ice.
02:32Brother, stop!
02:33My sister is just...
02:35Helios cuts her off, his eyes burning with pure rage.
02:38A person this evil doesn't deserve to stay in our temple.
02:41The high priest's face goes cold, and he signals the guards.
02:45Guards!
02:45Throw her out!
02:47We have no place for her here.
02:49I curled up on the floor of a servant's shack all night.
02:53The temple's power crushed my magic.
02:55I couldn't even talk to the grass.
02:58Before class started, the teacher called me to the side hall.
03:02Kalista was sitting there, sobbing into a fancy handkerchief.
03:06When she saw me, she shrank back as if I were a monster.
03:09Lumina, come here.
03:11The teacher said, with a voice like ice.
03:13Tell me, what did you do to Kalalessa yesterday?
03:17I stood frozen, wanting to sign no, but I knew they wouldn't believe me.
03:23Teacher, please don't blame her.
03:26She stopped me in the hallway and called me a fake.
03:32She threatened to strip my magic and throw me into the wasteland.
03:36Her soft words were like sharp knives cutting into me.
03:39The teacher's face darkened, and he called the high priest and the manager.
03:44Soon they arrived.
03:45The manager held Kalista's hand, ignoring me.
03:51Did Lumina bully Kalista again?
03:53The priest asked in a rage.
03:56Kalista says Lumina insulted her.
03:58Threatened her magic.
04:01This behavior is a disgrace to our divine bloodline.
04:05The priest looked at me with such disappointment, it broke my heart.
04:10How could my temple raise such a child?
04:13You are a disgrace.
04:15I raised my hand to sign no, but he slapped me across the face.
04:19My ears rang, and my face burned with pain.
04:23You dare to cry?
04:24He hissed with pure disgust.
04:26You're just faking it to get pity.
04:29You are evil.
04:30Kalista cried harder and hid in the manager's arms.
04:34Please don't be mad at her.
04:36She whispered.
04:37I don't blame her.
04:38The manager glared at me.
04:40You were born cursed and low.
04:43If you didn't have divine blood, we'd have dumped you long ago.
04:47Other students peeked through the door, whispering and laughing.
04:49I heard she's a wild girl from the wasteland.
04:52No manners at all.
04:53She's so mean.
04:54She just wants to steal Kalista's position.
04:56The words stung like needles.
04:58I had to prove I was innocent.
05:00I signed, I didn't do it with everything I had left.
05:03But the teacher cut me off.
05:05Stop these cheap tricks.
05:06Just speak if you have something to say.
05:08I froze.
05:08Even my silent defense was just a trick to them.
05:11Suddenly, a girl at the door spoke up in a shaky voice.
05:14Teacher, she's not faking.
05:17That is divine sign language.
05:19Everyone turned to look at the shy student.
05:22My mother taught me some.
05:23She just said I didn't do it.
05:26And I think she really can't speak.
05:29She's never made a sound.
05:30The air froze and even the temple candles stopped fickering.
05:34The girl stood at the door, her face red and her hands sweaty.
05:37I'm not lying.
05:38I know those signs.
05:39Lumina never speaks.
05:41Everyone has seen it, but no one wants to believe her.
05:44The room went silent.
05:45The priest and manager looked unsure.
05:47The manager looked at me with a tiny flash of guilt.
05:50But Kalista's sobbing broke the silence once again.
05:54Sister, don't pay people to act for you just to hide the truth.
05:58I know sign language too.
06:00You weren't saying I didn't do it.
06:02You're just lying to everyone to escape responsibility.
06:05The priest's anger exploded.
06:07He glared at me with pure hate.
06:10Lumina, you are unbelievable.
06:12You even faked a witness.
06:15You are evil and don't deserve to be a child of the gods.
06:19I pulled a folded scroll from my robe with trembling hands.
06:22It was a divine decree from the Oracle,
06:24proving I bore the curse of eternal silence.
06:26I wanted them to see it.
06:27I wanted them to believe me.
06:28But the priest snatched it away before I could even show it.
06:32He tore it into pieces without even looking at it.
06:34The Holy Seer flick it once and then vanished forever.
06:37I watched the pieces fall, tears crashing onto the coal floor.
06:39Keep faking it.
06:40See if I care.
06:42I'm sending you to the wasteland to work and reflect.
06:44Let's see if you stay mute when you're out there alone.
06:48The manager hugged Kalista.
06:50Lumina, we are so disappointed.
06:51You are a disgrace to this family.
06:54Kalista hit a smirk behind her fake, watery eyes.
06:56Please don't be too hard on her.
06:59Maybe she's just confused.
07:00Confused?
07:01No!
07:02She's just rotten to the core.
07:04I'm calling the guards to take her away right now!
07:06The teacher told the student witness to leave and keep quiet.
07:09The girl looked at me with pity before walking away.
07:11The door closed softly, but it sounded like a hammer on my heart.
07:15I stood there and suddenly started to laugh through my tears.
07:18All my efforts to prove the truth were just a joke to them.
07:21I never mattered.
07:21I was never loved.
07:22I picked up the broken pieces of the scroll on the ground.
07:25The sharp edges cut my fingers, but I felt nothing at all.
07:27My heart hurt so much more than my body ever could.
07:30The guards' chariots arrived from the wasteland, and the air in the hall froze.
07:33Two guards in black armor walked in.
07:34The high priest greeted them with a fake smile.
07:36Take her away.
07:37She's a liar who faked being mute to bully her own kind.
07:41The lead guard smirked at me with pure disgust, as if I were a criminal.
07:44Don't worry.
07:45In the wasteland, even the toughest souls learned to obey.
07:49Kalista leaned against the manager, hiding a triumphant smile.
07:52Please don't be too hard on her.
07:53Maybe she'll learn her lesson there.
07:56She's hopeless!
07:57She should never come back to this temple!
07:59The guard looked down at me, his voice cold and impatient.
08:02So it's you, the liar who thinks she can trick the high priest?
08:06I stayed silent, my fingers cold, feeling my magic fade away completely.
08:10Still acting.
08:12You won't talk until you feel some real pain!
08:15He kicked me hard at the back of my knees.
08:17I fell hard onto the marble floor, the pain making my vision go dark.
08:21Still being stubborn?
08:22Still faking it?
08:23The guard growled.
08:24He grabbed my hair and yanked my head back.
08:27I'll teach you to be a liar.
08:30He slapped me so hard, my ears rang and blood leaked from my mouth.
08:34My face swelled instantly, but I bit my lip to stay quiet.
08:37I couldn't let them think I was faking, but the pain was too much.
08:40A tiny broken sound escaped my throat.
08:42Kalista shrieked with joy.
08:44She spoke!
08:45I knew it!
08:45She's a fake!
08:46She's been lying to us this whole time!
08:49What a snake!
08:50The priest shook with rage, pointing a finger at me.
08:54You liar!
08:55How could I have a daughter like you?
08:58You are a disgrace!
09:00Even the teacher shook his head with pure contempt.
09:03Lumina, you are beyond help, using such tricks to escape punishment.
09:07The other students started whispering, like sharp knives in the dark.
09:10She's so evil.
09:12She belongs in the wasteland forever.
09:13The guard grabbed my arms.
09:14Let's go!
09:15Let's see how long you stay quiet in my prison!
09:17I closed my eyes, tears falling onto the cold stones.
09:20I thought I found a family, but I only found more pain and lies.
09:24Suddenly, the door slammed open with the blast of her hand.
09:27Lightning crackled in the air, crushing everyone's way.
09:30A man in golden robe stood there, surrounded by a holy light.
09:34He looked cold and majestic, with the raw power of a king.
09:37His eyes burned with rage until he saw me.
09:39Then they softened with love.
09:41My daughter is cursed to be silent, and you dare to treat her like this?
09:46The room went deathly quiet.
09:48No one even dared to breathe.
09:50The priest's anger turned into pure terror as his knees began to shake.
09:54Zeus.
09:54Great King Zeus.
09:56The air in the room vanished.
09:58Everyone froze, hearing only the hum of Zeus's lightning.
10:02The high priest's anger turned into a pathetic, trembling smile.
10:07Zeus.
10:08Great King Zeus.
10:09The guard let go of my hair as if it were burning hot, backing away in terror.
10:14My vision going dark from the pain.
10:17But a pair of strong hands caught me before I hit the floor.
10:20His robe smelled of fresh lightning, warm and powerful.
10:24He knelt down to look me in the eyes, his own eyes full of heartbreak.
10:29Lumina.
10:30Daddy is late.
10:32I'm so sorry.
10:33Daddy.
10:34Daddy.
10:35The word shattered the wall I had built around my heart for 18 years.
10:39I couldn't speak, but tears poured down my face like a broken string of pearls.
10:44Calista's face turned white as a sheet.
10:48This is impossible!
10:50She's just a wild girl from the wasteland.
10:52How can she be the King's daughter?
10:54She stopped talking the moment Zeus looked at her.
10:59He looked at her like she was already dead, his eyes cold and full of killing intent.
11:08Zeus turned away, treating her like a piece of worthless dust.
11:13He carefully helped me up, his touch so light as if I were made of glass.
11:20He held me steady as my knees continued to shake.
11:24Then he faced the stunned crowd, his lightning glowing brighter and stronger.
11:30Eighteen years ago, Lumina was born and lost her mother to an enemy.
11:35An ancient god cursed her and exiled her to the wasteland.
11:39She is my flesh and blood.
11:40I have searched for her for 18 years.
11:43I thought she would find warmth here.
11:46Instead, I found you torturing her.
11:49He pulled out a yellowed scroll and slammed it onto the table.
11:54It was the divine decree with the King's official seal.
12:03The room became deathly quiet.
12:06Everyone was pale and terrified.
12:08The high priest looked like he was about to collapse.
12:11The manager tried to speak, her eyes now filled with useless regret.
12:16The teacher was so shaky.
12:18And Callista?
12:19She bit her lip until it bled, her body shaking like a leaf.
12:24She looked at the King, then at the scroll, and finally knew she was finished.
12:29Last night, Lumia didn't return to the palace I prepared for her.
12:33I thought she was with her family.
12:35But you treated her like a criminal.
12:38My messengers told me everything that happened in this hall.
12:42The high priest couldn't even look up, his throat dry with terror.
12:47Great king, I didn't know.
12:49I thought she was faking it to trick us.
12:53You thought she was just faking it for pity.
12:59You tore her scroll, slapped her, and let guards kick her to the ground.
13:06The priest choked on his words, unable to say another thing.
13:09You watched while she knelt.
13:13You watched while she bled.
13:18She was shaking in pain, unable to scream, and you just kept watching.
13:24Susie's killing intent has the marble floor to crack.
13:28Is this how a priest treats the King's daughter?
13:31Or any kin?
13:33Beating your own blood while protecting a fake?
13:36What a disgrace!
13:39The priest collapsed back, his face full of regret and pure horror.
13:44The manager, who loved Calista but hated me, finally snapped out of it.
13:50She shoved Calista away so hard, the girl hit her head on the table.
13:55Calista bled, but the manager didn't even look back at her once.
13:59She stumbled toward me, her eyes red and filled with desperate guilt.
14:03Lumina, my child.
14:05I didn't know.
14:06No, please forgive me.
14:08She reached out with trembling fingers to touch my bruised face.
14:12I didn't move.
14:14I just looked at the hand that comforted Calista yesterday.
14:17The same hand that called me cursed and lowborn just hours ago.
14:22I pulled my hand back and stepped behind Zeus, cold and silent.
14:26The manager froze, her hope dying as she realized I wouldn't touch her.
14:31King Zeus, I didn't know.
14:33I was just scared of losing everything.
14:35It was her.
14:37She told everyone I was a fake and a cheater.
14:40Rumors.
14:41You claim a child who is literally cursed to be silent.
14:46Spread rumors.
14:48He didn't even look at her.
14:50He turned to his guards and gave a command that brooked no argument.
14:53Bring the evidence.
14:59The captain of the guard steps forward.
15:05It was a quiet afternoon two months ago.
15:08Calista's voice comes out of the crystal.
15:16Did you know?
15:17The new girl Lumina lived in the Forbidden Realm.
15:20People say her family dumped her because she's cursed.
15:23Stay away from her.
15:24I heard she stole food back then.
15:26The high priest only took her in because nobody wanted her.
15:30King Zeus.
15:32Calista has been spreading lies about Lumina.
15:35She told the teacher Lumina was crazy and should sit in the back.
15:40She even had students steal and tear up Lumina's temple notes.
15:45She wrote over ten hateful messages on the sacred walls anonymously.
15:51Calista screams suddenly.
15:53Her voice is like glass scratching metal.
15:56I did it!
15:58All of it!
15:59So what?
16:01Lumen, are you happy now?
16:07You're Zeus' daughter.
16:09You're lucky everyone loves you.
16:12But what about me?
16:14I was brought here at age three, trying to please everyone.
16:20I woke up every day scared of being thrown away.
16:24They treat me like a doll for show.
16:26Nobody cares about me.
16:31They didn't even plan where you would live before bringing you back.
16:38But you hate me.
16:41Then I raise my hand and use divine sign language.
16:44She says she doesn't hate you.
16:46Hating takes energy.
16:48She needs her energy for her own life.
17:09Lumen, I didn't know.
17:11If I knew you were the king's daughter...
17:13How funny.
17:15He only regrets it because my father has power.
17:20I slowly raise my hand and sign again.
17:23What did she say?
17:25What did she say?
17:28She says she made this same sign to you before.
17:32The High Priest is stunned.
17:34She said back then,
17:36I didn't do it.
17:38The High Priest freezes like he was struck by lightning.
17:41No! I'm so wrong!
17:43Forgive me, Lumina!
