00:00:15Ethan, this is the ice crystal you formed with your very first spell.
00:00:21Today is your birthday. Father and I had it made into a pendant just for you.
00:00:34Ethan, stay here while mother goes to buy you a sweet cake. All right?
00:00:37No. We need that money for father's medicine.
00:00:40But today is your birthday. Birthdays mean sweet cakes.
00:00:45Really? Thank you, mother.
00:00:53Excuse me. Do you have anything a little cheaper?
00:00:56No.
00:00:57Please, sir. My son's birthday is today.
00:01:00He's always wanted a sweet cake. Even just a small piece.
00:01:04Out! Go buy your scraps at the end of the street.
00:01:09Ethan, you'll have sweet cakes for his birthday today. I promise.
00:01:16Get out of the way!
00:01:43Child! Child! Where are this boy's parents?
00:01:50This is... formed from ice magic.
00:01:55He carries a talent for ice magic. A skill that hasn't appeared in 300 years.
00:02:07Ethan! I got you your cake!
00:02:10Ethan! Ethan!
00:02:13Ethan! Ethan!
00:02:16Have you seen Ethan? Have you seen Ethan?
00:02:20Ethan! My son!
00:02:34Doctor, the boy. The injuries are severe. You'll need high-level healing magic.
00:02:39Head to the main city at once.
00:02:40Did you hear me?
00:02:42Open the portal! Now!
00:02:50Forgive me, child.
00:02:53Forgive me, child. The kingdom needs you more than they do.
00:02:59Ethan! My soul!
00:03:09The kingdom needs you more than they do.
00:03:12Ethan! My soul!
00:03:31And here...
00:03:33Perhaps someone here will have seen Ethan.
00:03:50Ethan, father will find you.
00:03:53I swear it.
00:04:24I swear it.
00:04:33I swear it.
00:04:35I swear it.
00:04:41I swear it.
00:04:45I swear it.
00:04:47I swear it.
00:04:51I swear it.
00:04:53I swear it.
00:04:56I swear it.
00:04:56I swear it.
00:04:57My lord.
00:04:58Ethan.
00:05:28You have become the greatest mage in the kingdom.
00:05:29Forgive me, child.
00:05:31Forgive me, child.
00:05:31All these years I kept you so you could serve the kingdom.
00:05:34Selfishly, I took from your family.
00:05:36Go now.
00:05:36Your parents must still be waiting for you.
00:05:40Today is your birthday.
00:05:42Today is your birthday.
00:05:42Father and I had it made into a pendant just for you.
00:05:45Mother.
00:05:56Ethan.
00:05:56Ethan, where are you?
00:05:58I miss you so much.
00:05:59Lucy.
00:06:00Lucy.
00:06:01Wonderful news.
00:06:02The most wonderful news.
00:06:03Father.
00:06:05Victor.
00:06:06Is it Ethan?
00:06:07Do you have news of Ethan?
00:06:12Ethan?
00:06:13Why would I bring up that useless boy?
00:06:15The Royal Magic Legion is building a new training camp in the Northern Territory.
00:06:20All of Frost Village is being cleared, including that broken shack of yours.
00:06:25My son Marcus bargained for you.
00:06:28Fifty gold coin in settlement.
00:06:31They're tearing down our house?
00:06:33That's right.
00:06:38No, we can't.
00:06:39If our house is gone, Ethan will have nowhere to come home to.
00:06:43I have to go back and protect it.
00:06:54Welcome, Commander!
00:06:56Commander.
00:06:57The clearance work in the Northern Territory is nearly complete.
00:07:00There's one household that refuses to sign the eviction notice.
00:07:03Shall we...
00:07:04Force the matter?
00:07:05The Legion does not do forced evictions. I'll speak to them myself.
00:07:11Yes, sir.
00:07:23Have you ever met Ethan?
00:07:36Have you ever met Ethan?
00:07:42Marcus, please.
00:07:44Your commander has surely met many people.
00:07:47Perhaps he's seen my Ethan.
00:07:49Let me just go and ask.
00:07:57Wake up!
00:07:58Your son is dead.
00:08:00Get out of my sight.
00:08:01No.
00:08:02Ethan isn't dead.
00:08:03He's not.
00:08:04Out of the way!
00:08:19The boy in this portrait looks just like I did as a child.
00:08:33Sam, my brother in arms.
00:08:35Let me handle this one alone.
00:08:36Commander Aldrich sent me to assist you.
00:08:38He believes Lord Garrett, Governor of the Northern Territory, is trouble.
00:08:43Then find out where this plan came from.
00:08:45I'll arrange it at once.
00:08:47Wait here for my news.
00:08:48I'm going to Frost Village myself.
00:08:49Contact me the moment you have something.
00:08:51Understood.
00:08:52Portals won't do for the road ahead.
00:08:54Find me a carriage.
00:09:23Mom, Mom!
00:09:26Father, Mother, are you here?
00:09:29It's been 20 years.
00:09:31Have you been alright?
00:09:32Ethan, today is your 25th birthday.
00:09:37Where are you?
00:09:39I miss you so much.
00:09:43Thomas, this time, did you find anything?
00:09:47Nothing yet.
00:09:48But Ethan turns 25 today.
00:09:50Perhaps once the birthday passes, he'll find his own way home.
00:09:53Yes.
00:09:55Maybe he's married by now.
00:09:58Maybe we're already grandparents.
00:10:01If I can't find him in this kingdom, I'll go to the next.
00:10:04If not the next, until I search the whole world.
00:10:07Ethan is coming back.
00:10:09He will.
00:10:11Now, no more tears.
00:10:13Victor is coming today.
00:10:15They haven't visited in years.
00:10:17Why come today of all days on Ethan's birthday?
00:10:19Perhaps they miss him too.
00:10:33Ethan.
00:10:36I have a pony.
00:10:39I'm a cavalry soldier.
00:10:41Ha!
00:10:42Ha!
00:10:43Ha!
00:10:44Ha!
00:10:45Ha!
00:10:45Ha!
00:10:47Ha!
00:10:48Ha!
00:10:52Ethan, this is your birthday present this year.
00:11:06Commander, your disguise, as requested.
00:11:10Good.
00:11:11Exactly what I need to stay low.
00:11:14Where is the household that refused to sign the eviction notice?
00:11:17Commander, a mid-ranking officer in the Northern Division claims to be their relative.
00:11:21He has volunteered to speak with them again.
00:11:25Fine.
00:11:26Let him try.
00:11:27I'll walk around.
00:11:28Notify me when there's news.
00:11:29Yes, sir.
00:11:32Garrett cannot be trusted.
00:11:33I need to see for myself.
00:11:40I need to see for myself.
00:11:43This place.
00:11:45Mama!
00:11:48This place.
00:11:49It feels so familiar.
00:11:51I've been here before.
00:11:59Victor, welcome.
00:12:01Come in.
00:12:02Enough pleasanties.
00:12:03My son is here to discuss the demolition.
00:12:07Sign this. 50 gold coins, up front.
00:12:10No. This is Ethan's home.
00:12:13If he comes back and there's nothing here, how will he find us?
00:12:16That's right. We stay and wait for our son.
00:12:2150 gold coins and you still won't sign?
00:12:23Have you ever seen that much money in your life?
00:12:26I don't want money. I want my son.
00:12:30Don't push your luck!
00:12:31No, Steve!
00:12:32An ice crystal crest formed of magic?
00:12:37Where did you get this? Did you steal it?
00:12:39No! You can't take that! It's how I'll find my Ethan!
00:12:41Want the crest? Kneel and beg. Then maybe I'll consider it.
00:12:44You go too far!
00:12:48Thomas!
00:12:51Believe me, I'll smash it right now!
00:13:05That crest is my only hope of finding Ethan.
00:13:08Please! Please!
00:13:11Look at her! She's actually kneeling for some boy who may be dead!
00:13:18Give it back.
00:13:21I'll give it back. Sign first.
00:13:27Come on!
00:13:31Could this be?
00:13:32Will I find my parents inside?
00:13:41No!
00:13:42I will not give up our home!
00:13:45Then...
00:13:46I smash it.
00:13:47Stop!
00:13:48The crest is the only way Ethan will know me.
00:13:51If I lose it, I'll never find my son again.
00:13:54Alright. I'll sign.
00:13:56Then crawl over here to do it.
00:14:03Good heavens!
00:14:05All that for a pathetic brat!
00:14:08What can she do? It's her only chance at finding that wretch.
00:14:14Now...
00:14:15Give it back to me.
00:14:17Want it?
00:14:18Crawl over and beg.
00:14:32Please...
00:14:32Give it back!
00:14:34I told you.
00:14:35Just sign the notice.
00:14:37Why make things hard?
00:14:39You promised!
00:14:41You defied me.
00:14:42You chose that cursed brat.
00:14:44This is the price.
00:14:45You will never see him.
00:14:47Never!
00:14:48No!
00:14:49No!
00:14:52I'll make sure you can never find that bastard.
00:14:55Not for the rest of your life.
00:15:02That pattern still defying me.
00:15:06Then die!
00:15:24What a dramatic entrance.
00:15:26It's just a grimy blacksmith.
00:15:28Mind your own business or I'll beat you too.
00:15:30You'd strike someone?
00:15:32Bold of you.
00:15:34Legion code forbids the use of force against civilians.
00:15:37Did you forget every word of it?
00:15:39What does a blacksmith know about the law?
00:15:54Wake up, Thomas.
00:15:55What do we do?
00:16:02Are you all right?
00:16:04I'm fine.
00:16:05Marcus was forcing me to sign the eviction notice.
00:16:09This man stopped him.
00:16:13So you clearly know Legion law.
00:16:16I beg you, help us further.
00:16:18That eviction notice was signed under duress.
00:16:21You signed it.
00:16:22No taking it back.
00:16:23Please, sir.
00:16:25We cannot lose this house.
00:16:27We have to stay and wait for our son.
00:16:30I will see that justice is done.
00:16:33You have my word.
00:16:41Could they really be?
00:16:44Where did you get that ice crystal crest?
00:16:47My son made it when he was young.
00:16:49The first time he ever used magic.
00:16:52He's been gone for 20 years.
00:16:55Father and I had it made into a pen just for you.
00:17:15Ethan.
00:17:17You, you're my Ethan.
00:17:20This isn't a dream, man.
00:17:24It isn't.
00:17:27My son is home.
00:17:29Father, mother.
00:17:30I've been gone for so long.
00:17:31I've made you search so hard.
00:17:34Forgive me.
00:17:37As long as you're home, nothing else matters.
00:17:40Your brat is back.
00:17:42This isn't worth celebrating.
00:17:45Right.
00:17:46He's just a blacksmith who hammers plows.
00:17:51Today I am reunited with my parents.
00:17:53I will not let the likes of you ruin it.
00:17:55Get out.
00:17:56Big talk.
00:17:58Do you know who my son is?
00:17:59He's a mid-ranking officer in the northern division of the legion.
00:18:03A man with a future.
00:18:09You're in the legion?
00:18:10Who is your superior?
00:18:13What's wrong?
00:18:14Never heard of Lord Garrett?
00:18:16Governor of the northern territory?
00:18:18I suppose a backwell peasant like you wouldn't know your betters.
00:18:21Marcus was kind to even teach you Lord Garrett's name.
00:18:23He's just a governor.
00:18:25One word from me and he'll come crawling.
00:18:31How dare you?
00:18:33Who do you think you are?
00:18:35Huh?
00:18:35Don't you know?
00:18:36Lord Garrett runs this entire territory.
00:18:39What would a common blacksmith know?
00:18:41My son is strong.
00:18:43He belongs in the legion.
00:18:44And Lord Garrett pries him above all others.
00:18:46You ignorant fool.
00:18:48My beloved is Lord Garrett's own confidant.
00:18:51Do you understand what that means?
00:18:53It means I can do whatever I want here.
00:18:58They hold no respect for the law.
00:19:00They treat the legion's code like nothing.
00:19:03What do we do?
00:19:04We can't fight them.
00:19:05No.
00:19:06You can't!
00:19:08You are a legion soldier.
00:19:10You were sworn to protect the people.
00:19:11Look at what you're doing.
00:19:12Protect them?
00:19:13Should we carry Loebron filth on our backs?
00:19:15What use are you?
00:19:16You bring nothing but shame to your parents.
00:19:18My Ethan is a fine man.
00:19:20Fine?
00:19:21A blacksmith's life is worth nothing.
00:19:23Ethan, beg us.
00:19:24Maybe Marcus can find you some work in the legion.
00:19:27Beg you?
00:19:27You're not worth it.
00:19:29Don't get proud, Ethan.
00:19:31Kneel down and lick the mud off my boot.
00:19:34Do that and I'll consider it.
00:19:36Oh, Marcus, how generous.
00:19:38Let me think.
00:19:39What works with you?
00:19:40Scrubbing latrines?
00:19:43You've gone far enough.
00:19:45Kneel and you get a job.
00:19:47We're not lying.
00:19:48Kneel before you.
00:19:50Not a chance.
00:19:53What is this blacksmith going on about?
00:19:56My son is captain of the legion honor guard and deputy commander of the ceremonial escort.
00:20:02I have a dozen soldiers under me.
00:20:04Every one of them an elite fighter.
00:20:06We're only holding back because you're family.
00:20:09Count yourselves lucky.
00:20:10Marcus has too much power.
00:20:12We can't fight him.
00:20:13I won't let Ethan get hurt.
00:20:15Today is a good day.
00:20:16No more fighting.
00:20:18I've made sweet cakes and stew.
00:20:22Let us sit and eat.
00:20:24This slob?
00:20:25My pigs eat better than this.
00:20:26Father, they're hiding the good stuff somewhere.
00:20:30Move!
00:20:51Happy birthday, Ethan.
00:21:04This is our son's birthday gift.
00:21:06Every year we prepare a birthday gift.
00:21:07Birthday gift?
00:21:08How pitiful.
00:21:09Give it back!
00:21:09Worthless old woman!
00:21:10Stop!
00:21:11Gutter trash!
00:21:14Get out!
00:21:15You are not welcome here!
00:21:17How dare you speak to me that way!
00:21:26Please don't crush it!
00:21:28Please, I beg you!
00:21:32Kneel.
00:21:34Pick up every piece.
00:21:36Fix it.
00:21:37Then kneel and beg my parents for forgiveness.
00:21:40Refuse, and I will make you pay back a hundred for.
00:21:45Ethan, have you hammered your brain to scrap?
00:21:48This house is no longer yours.
00:21:51You're nothing but a pack of homeless strays.
00:21:58What the hell?
00:21:59Why is it suddenly so cold?
00:22:03Quaking in your boots, old man?
00:22:05Worried your son's about to die?
00:22:07I'll say this once more.
00:22:09Kneel.
00:22:10Apologize.
00:22:11Now, before you regret this.
00:22:13A threat?
00:22:14You don't scare me.
00:22:15Look at this.
00:22:16Cost me a hundred gold coins.
00:22:18This can summon a beast more powerful than any mage.
00:22:21You don't stand a chance.
00:22:23Count yourselves lucky to have this beast be the last thing you see.
00:22:27A Karin Bist summoning stone?
00:22:29Five copper bends at the Legion supply depot.
00:22:31You paid a hundred gold for that trash?
00:22:33What a fool.
00:22:34How dare you?
00:22:35Think you'll survive this?
00:22:37Legion Provision.
00:22:38Article 42.
00:22:39The unauthorized possession and summoning of aggressive beasts in civilian zones is forbidden.
00:22:43Violation results in permanent discharge and life-inquisite.
00:22:46You quote the law at me?
00:22:48I am the law here!
00:22:51You're all Lubon filth.
00:22:53Every last one of you could die and the Legion wouldn't blink.
00:23:13What do we do?
00:23:14No.
00:23:15My Ethan is here.
00:23:16I will not retreat.
00:23:19Ethan!
00:23:20Run!
00:23:22Run!
00:23:22Run!
00:23:24Don't be afraid, son.
00:23:26Your mother and I will hold it back.
00:23:28Just run.
00:23:30I won't leave you.
00:23:32Not when we just found each other.
00:23:37Child.
00:23:39To have you as the last thing I see is enough.
00:23:43I just wish I had the chance to watch you grow.
00:23:54Enough of this touching reunion.
00:23:57No one leaves here alive!
00:24:00Why weep over a blacksmith?
00:24:03He's worthless.
00:24:04Ethan.
00:24:05No matter who you've become,
00:24:08you are still your father's pride.
00:24:12Father.
00:24:13Mother.
00:24:15I promise you,
00:24:17no one will harm you today.
00:24:20Still boasting.
00:24:22Take him down!
00:24:29Man!
00:24:32Man!
00:24:35Man!
00:24:39Man!
00:24:41Man!
00:24:42Man!
00:24:58What's wrong with you?
00:24:59Attack!
00:25:13Where is it?
00:25:15Where did the beast go?
00:25:17Hey!
00:25:18You useless creature!
00:25:20Get out here!
00:25:20My hundred gold coins!
