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