Short filmTranscript
00:01At three, I had no voice.
00:04House Malvern cast me as a magicless wretch along with my sick mother.
00:16Yet today, you call me back.
00:18Young master, we've arrived.
00:20A mute heir to a magic house.
00:23No wonder he was thrown away.
00:30As a thousand-year house of magic, we have no place for a magicless wretch who can't cast a single
00:37spell.
00:39Get out!
00:41Last year, illness took mother from me.
00:44You and my cowardly father just stood by.
00:48Now you use bloodline to falsely reel me in.
00:52You think I'm still that dumb kid?
00:54Queen Victoria's banquet is in two days.
00:56The Malverns need full attendance to escape punishment.
01:00That's why I'm really here.
01:03After a seven-year absence.
01:05Could you show me the way to the main hall?
01:07I'm lost.
01:08What are you waving for, little mute cult?
01:10I don't get mute signs.
01:21Insolent fool.
01:23I've killed countless before.
01:25I'm sorry, young master, that the main hall is straight ahead.
01:29I see a mute wretch, but my soul is the dark sorcerer dreaded by all demons, Mar-Logos.
01:36You don't die, it's as long as the fight to get out of the Virgin.
01:49You don't die, it's as long as the
02:05If it's a good enemy, you're right.
02:30The Abyssal Curse has found me.
02:33There is no escape.
02:45To regain my past prime.
02:48I started the Silence Curse at 3.
02:51It left me mute, unable to cast ordinary spells.
02:55Aldrich, say, Grandpa.
02:59Congenital muteness.
03:03I plan to break Mother's dying wish and stay away, but since I'm here, I'll make you
03:10all kneel and repent at my Mother's grave.
03:23Silent Freak.
03:25What gives you the nerve to keep us waiting?
03:28Come here and apologize.
03:32How have you been all these years?
03:35Grandpa, why bother?
03:36He is mute.
03:37Are we keeping a maid here just to read his hands?
03:42The Queen's Banquet nears.
03:44If our coldness shames this house, none of us will escape the consequences.
03:51I...
03:52Father, please.
03:54Don't mad.
03:55Child.
03:57I know the family failed you and your mother.
04:02But Grandpa will set things right now.
04:14You are a Malvin, and you shall never wander again.
04:19Grandpa, have you lost your senses?
04:21He's a wretch who can't even chant.
04:24Keeping him will shame us all.
04:25Enough!
04:26My decision is final.
04:28Aldrich, thank your Grandpa.
04:30Quickly!
04:39You threw me away like refuse.
04:41Now you call this mercy?
04:44What does he mean?
04:46He says you threw him away like refuse.
04:50Aldrich, how could you say that?
04:52Refute.
04:53At least the wretch knows his place.
04:55I offered you a second chance for the sake of our bloodline.
04:58I saved you from wandering like a stray.
05:02House Malvern was never worthy of me.
05:04I returned to make you kneel at Mother's grave.
05:08What is all that?
05:11What is it?
05:13The young Master said he's not settled in yet.
05:17That's all.
05:17Please, Master Aldrich.
05:19I'm just trying to keep my job.
05:21Not so fast.
05:22There's something you must do first.
05:34The Queen's invitation is inside.
05:37It opens only with every family member's mark.
05:40So that's why you brought me back.
05:43Don't waste your breath, Grandpa.
05:45A mute cannot chant.
05:47No chant, no spell.
05:50He is useless.
05:53If he can't chant, I'll teach him signal casting.
05:56No chant needed.
05:58I will demonstrate only once.
06:01Watch carefully.
06:04Did you see that?
06:08Aldrich, perhaps I could explain the magical flow itself.
06:11Good lord.
06:12Even infants grasp signal casting faster than him.
06:21Good boy.
06:29That little bastard does not deserve the Queen's banquet.
06:34Once he leaves his seal, kill him.
06:47It worked!
06:51No!
07:03You damn fool!
07:05No.
07:06It wasn't me.
07:10Grandpa, it was him!
07:12He did it on purpose.
07:13He sicked that snake on me.
07:15He never forgave us for casting him out.
07:17He's back to destroy House Malville.
07:20Filthy little bastard.
07:22This family showed you mercy, and this is how you repay us?
07:25How dare you!
07:26We should have left you starving in the hudder.
07:29You freak!
07:30You just destroyed the Queen's invitation.
07:33You've ruined House Malville's future.
07:36Perhaps you require discipline.
07:45Attack!
07:55You!
07:58You!
07:58Kaelin!
07:59He is your cousin!
08:01Uncle Theore.
08:02So you're the one protecting this freak after all.
08:05So, does he even protect his son?
08:09He's a disgrace to House Malvin.
08:11He deserves no mercy.
08:12Theon, look at your son.
08:14If you protect that boy, you're standing against all of us!
08:23I thought you'd be different.
08:26I'm sorry.
08:27That's not what I meant.
08:28Just apologize, and this is over.
08:33Aldrich.
08:35Confess your crimes at once, or I will show you no mercy!
08:39Grandpa, look at him.
08:40He still refuses to repent.
08:42You little brat.
08:44Apologize now, or I'll turn you over to the Queen!
08:49You damn fool!
08:52No, it wasn't me.
08:57Grandpa, it was him!
08:59He did it on purpose.
09:00He sicked that snake on me.
09:02He never forgave us for casting him out.
09:04He's back to destroy House Malville.
09:07Filthy little bastard.
09:08This family showed you mercy, and this is how you repay us?
09:12How dare you!
09:13We should have left you starving in the hudder!
09:15You freak!
09:17You just destroyed the Queen's invitation!
09:20You've ruined House Malvin's future!
09:23Perhaps you require discipline.
09:32Attack!
09:42You!
09:45Kaelin!
09:46He is your cousin!
09:48Uncle Theore.
09:49So you're the one protecting this freak after all.
09:52So, does he even protect his son?
09:55He's a disgrace to House Malvin.
09:57He deserves no mercy.
09:59Theon, look at your son.
10:01If you protect that boy, you're standing against all of us!
10:10I thought you'd be different.
10:13I'm sorry.
10:14That's not what I meant.
10:15Just apologize, and this is over.
10:20Aldrich.
10:21Confess your crimes at once, or I will show you no mercy!
10:26Grandpa, look at him.
10:27He still refuses to repent.
10:29You little brat!
10:31Apologize now, or I'll turn you over to the Queen!
10:41They really know ancient, forbidden magic.
10:47The Thornheart Curse?
10:49Not even an archmast would dare act under that curse.
10:52One struggle, and the body tears itself apart.
10:57Father, Aldrich is only ten!
11:00When that kind of attitude deserves punishment, he stays here to reflect on his actions.
11:10Once the Silence Curse is complete, every one of you shall beg for death.
11:17Huh?
11:18Huh?
11:19What's this?
11:21Ruth!
11:22Oh, wow.
11:23So this is what your mother left you.
11:26Look at that!
11:28The mute's so desperate, he's nearly speaking!
11:33All right, here you go.
11:43Dying for a useless little freak like you?
11:47Your mother was truly pathetic.
12:02Aldrich, stop at once!
12:04Your body will be torn apart!
12:06Aldrich, please don't!
12:08Dying!
12:09Oh!
12:10Oh!
12:11Oh!
12:13No!
12:15No!
12:29Prepare to die!
12:34To die!
12:46He broke through the Thornheart curse.
12:49Aldrich, was this your true power all along?
12:59High Mage Emery?
13:03The silence curse remains incomplete.
13:06Forcing this much power out is still too taxing.
13:13So that power came from a High Mage after all?
13:18Exactly. He's still nothing but a useless mutt freak.
13:28Lady Emery, House Malvern welcomes your arrival.
13:33So this is the mute failure you wished me to train?
13:37The Queen's invitation has been destroyed.
13:40I can take you to the banquet myself.
13:44Aldrich!
13:46I shall overlook your actions this once.
13:49Go to your room and rest.
13:51Young Master, follow me.
14:21Silence curse mutes me to forge my horde.
14:25Two more days.
14:27I will get my power back.
14:47What kind of power is this?
14:50What kind of power is this?
15:02A Supreme Mage it is channeling nearby.
15:05If I continue, my mana will collapse.
15:11Master Merlin!
15:13Her Majesty suffered a mana backlash.
15:16She's coughing blood!
15:23What?
15:32A Grand Archermeist.
15:36Still alive at this age.
15:42Heavens!
15:42I have seen such crushing power.
15:45A mana like this.
15:47From the forgotten Malvin estate.
15:51Whoever he is, he could swallow a city.
15:55How could a fallen minor house deserve such a master?
15:59Before him I am nothing.
16:01I dare not seek him out.
16:05I'd give up the crown for a master like that.
16:13Just one more step to refining my core.
16:17Now my voice can reach their minds.
16:34A Supreme Mage it is channeling nearby.
16:37If I continue, my mana will collapse.
16:43Master Merlin!
16:45Her Majesty suffered a manor backlash. She's coughing blood.
16:56What?
17:05A grand archermist. Still alive at this age.
17:14Heavens. I have seen such crushing power.
17:18A manor like this. From the forgotten Malvin estate. Whoever he is, he could swallow a city.
17:27How could a fallen miner house deserve such a master?
17:31Before him I am nothing. I dare not seek him out.
17:38I'd give up the crown for a master like that.
17:45Just one more step to refining my core. Now my voice can reach their minds.
18:01So you're the mute reject.
18:03I'm Emery. Your grandfather hired me to teach you basic magic.
18:07Only Bloodline keeps him in this house. Who does he think he is?
18:30Seven Hardest Grimmatores. Pick one. Memorize it in a day. I'll only guide you three times.
18:35Children's primals. And she calls them difficult.
18:39I am well aware your mind is empty. And you have never known such high arts. But...
18:45Shh. Choose. Now.
18:55Magic most evil?
19:00What is this supposed to mean?
19:03Are you refusing to study any of them?
19:06All seven?
19:07Who do you think you are? A god of magic?
19:10These take decades to master. Not hours.
19:18Worthless wretch.
19:20Are you mocking me? I am a high mage of...
19:22Every spell in these seven books. I had mastered them.
19:27All by the age of three.
19:28Telepathy?
19:29Even an archmace would need decades.
19:32He is ten.
19:33How?
19:34Have you lost your voice as well?
19:37Fine. You have some talent.
19:39But mastering these at three?
19:41Absurd.
19:45Prove it.
19:47Use all that spellcraft you read in those ancient books.
19:51Yes. Jewel me.
19:57A stick?
19:58You mean to impress a high magus with that?
20:03Impossible!
20:15But what is happening?
20:16Is the earth splitting apart?
20:19What?
20:27No earthquake.
20:29No earthquake.
20:29A mage is casting powerful spell.
20:31To the courtyard. Now!
20:33I'm right.
20:40Oh!
20:41I like this.
20:45Still.
20:50Take a man.
20:53Take a man.
21:00Lots above.
21:02This power.
21:03It is incomprehensible.
21:05No!
21:07Do your worst.
21:09What the hell has the sky fallen?
21:16It's far beyond the Grinachors.
21:19But that's all.
21:20Isn't it?
21:21You little shit.
21:28No.
21:29No.
21:29No.
21:29No!
21:49Aldrich!
22:04Madam Emery, what happened?
22:07Say nothing. I am not ready for them to know.
22:10It was nothing more than a demonstration.
22:14I was Madam Emery. For a moment, I thought this magicless Rhett had caused all that noise.
22:21If that is all, we shall leave you to your lesson.
22:30All right, your magic's strong. But don't act like my ruin magic's inferior.
22:59Is that Madam Emery's true power? Magnificent!
23:03Damn.
23:04Emery's rune magic is beyond anything I have seen.
23:08No, it was not from Emery.
23:15I must see it myself.
23:23Does this mastery of the Array satisfy you?
23:27A storm trick. Nothing more.
23:44Water! Water's now!
23:56Curse it! Is Madam Emery showing off again?
23:59All this for a mute boy? Meaningless!
24:05Enough! Aldrich, stop!
24:07Your strength is far beyond my expectations.
24:10I beg you, stay your hand.
24:19Aldrich, I apologize.
24:21I have no right to be your master, but I have one request.
24:25Please, accept me as your disciple.
24:28The curse upon my tongue is not yet broken.
24:31Not yet time. Maybe.
24:36I have no right to be your master, but I have no right to be your master.
24:38I shall not fail you.
24:43Master!
24:44The Queen Victoria's banquet tomorrow.
24:46You must be there.
24:49Alderac did not fail the High Master.
24:51Keeping him in was a fair decision.
24:55Aldrich's talent is boundless.
24:57His power shall soon dazzle the whole of Theros.
25:02Dazzle.
25:02Will his name truly around after tomorrow's royal banquet?
25:11Dazzle.
25:12Cronimages.
25:13Such talent for a ten-year-old.
25:15Could it be he was never truly a mute?
25:19Record every mark.
25:21Lock it in the library's core vault.
25:23No one touch it.
25:25My lord, is it truly that valuable?
25:28More valuable than everything in our faults.
25:31Fail me, and you answer with your life.
25:34Understood, my lord.
25:47At last! The silence curse is shattered.
25:51Even at ten, no one could match me.
25:56Behold, Marlogos, the Dark Dread is here.
26:08Where is Aldric?
26:10The Queen is waiting, Grandpa. Why delay for a magicless wretch?
26:14Theroselite will be there, Father. Bringing that rude mute will make us a laughing stock.
26:20Aldric comes with us. That is final.
26:24The talent he has shown these past days, it is utterly terrifying.
26:30Aldric's talent is boundless. His power shall soon dazzle the whole of Theros.
26:37If he shines before the Queen, House Malon may rise again.
26:46All are present! Set forth! To the Royal Palace!
26:58The Royal Palace will see what House Malvern discarded.
27:09Cronomages. Such talent for a ten-year-old. Could it be he was never truly a mute?
27:16Record every mark. Lock it in the library's core vault. No one touch it.
27:21My lord, is it truly that valuable?
27:24More valuable than everything in our faults. Fail me, and you answer with your life.
27:31Understood, my lord.
27:44At last! The Silence Curse is shattered. Even at ten, no one could match me.
27:52Behold, Mar-La-Ghost. The Dark Dread is here.
28:05Where is Aldric?
28:07The Queen is waiting, Grandpa. Why delay for a magicless wretch?
28:10Theros Elite will be there, Father. Bringing that rude mute will make us a laughing stock.
28:16Oldric comes with us. That is final.
28:21The talent he has shown these past days, it is utterly terrifying.
28:27Aldricks's Talent is boundless. His power shall soon dazzle the whole of Theros!
28:32If he shines before the Queen, House Malvern may rise again.
28:43All our presence sent forth to the Royal Palace.
28:55The Royal Palace will see what House Malvern discarded.
29:02Kaelin, all the great houses are here tonight.
29:05This is your chance to honour the Malverns.
29:09Seize it.
29:10I will, Father. I've waited years!
29:13Tonight, I will show them House Malvern has a true prodigy.
29:21Aldric, your cousin Kaelin will surely impress the Queen tonight and receive her favour.
29:25Just stay humble and serve him. He'll go easy on you.
29:29I bow to no one and I follow no man.
29:32How can you be so stubborn? I am only trying to protect...
29:37You... you spoke.
29:40What are you doing?
29:41You'll know soon enough.
29:47Seriously, Emre? A ten-year-old Mastodarts even you cannot rival?
29:53A mute child who can't chant? Impossible.
29:56Presenting, the Noble House of Malvern.
29:59If you doubt my eyes, come.
30:01Witness the miracle of this millennium for yourselves.
30:05Then let us see what this boy truly is.
30:10The petty Malverns?
30:12Why would three High Magents greet a minor house?
30:16It must be for Kaelin.
30:18They say he has some talent.
30:21Kaelin?
30:22He's a mere pretender, not worthy of their gaze.
30:38Kaelin, look. Three High Mages. All of Theris must know your name.
30:43My son! You have brought glory to us!
30:47Missing only Her Majesty!
30:49They came from me.
30:59Master Merlin, what troubles you?
31:02Your Majesty, the mana is shifting. The Grand Archmist is near.
31:08Truly? Then we must hasten.
31:11I must see myself.
31:13You honor our name today, Masters, by coming to receive us in person.
31:17Just as I thought. They are all here for me.
31:26What is the meaning of this?
31:28They were not here for Kaelin.
31:32Here he comes.
31:40Such an oppressive Herrera.
31:44We have awaited your arrival.
31:47Aldric!
31:47He is the exiled kin of House Malwin.
31:50Three High Mages gathered to welcome a mute ret.
31:53Pure madness!
31:55Your Majesty!
31:56Your Majesty!
31:58Aldric! On your knees! Do not be insolent!
32:04We're doomed. This mute wretch is getting us all executed.
32:08Bringing him was a goddamn mistake. He has ruined us all!
32:28Her name is Gloria Vyla.
32:30You
