Transcript
00:00I am a descendant of the Phoenix Clan, born with a shattered magic core.
00:05My mother, Serafina, called me a useless idiot from birth, and said I disgraced the Phoenix Clan.
00:11I had an accident while I was still in the egg.
00:14My mother caught my father glancing at a maid, and in a rage, she used me as a weapon, throwing
00:21me at the maid to kill her.
00:22I hatched early, my magic core was damaged, and I turned into an ugly, bald, sickly Phoenix.
00:30Because I was born broken, I couldn't even take human form until I was ten, which became my mother's greatest
00:37shame.
00:40She regretted everything, and often beaten in black and blue.
00:45What kind of sin did I commit to birth such a stupid, worthless loser?
00:49Do you know how embarrassed I am?
00:52Why won't you just die?
00:54If you don't drop dead soon, you're going to be the death of me!
01:00She finally pulled out her sword to kill me.
01:03My father stopped her.
01:05Serafina, she's not worth the trouble, but killing your own flesh and blood will make the whole magical world despise
01:12you, and you'll be punished.
01:14My mother finally calmed down, dropped the sword.
01:17I really don't know what to do, you have to think of something, just looking at her makes me sick.
01:21Then let's send her far away, out of sight, out of mind.
01:26It just so happened that Marnie, the owl who had served the family for a hundred years, was retiring to
01:33her hometown.
01:34My mother gave her three bags of crystals and dumped me on her.
01:37I don't care if she lives or dies, just keep her away from me.
01:41Marnie looked at me, covered in scars, and decided to take me with her.
01:47Marnie, is mother angry with me?
01:51Come learn some skills with Marnie.
01:54Once you're strong and capable, your mother won't be mad anymore.
01:58At that time, we both thought that if I just got smarter and stronger, my mother would finally love me.
02:06I followed Marnie back to her home, the Blackwood Forest.
02:10Later, my parents had another phoenix.
02:13A healthy one, perfect in every way.
02:16I often heard the magical creatures of Blackwood talking about my parents and my sister.
02:22They said my sister, Elena, was the greatest beauty of the phoenix clan, gifted, and took human form the moment
02:29she was born.
02:29Unlike me, I don't have a drop of magic, just stupid and slow.
02:35They also said my parents built a golden castle for my sister as a first birthday gift.
02:39They even spent millions of crystals to send her to St. Augustine Academy.
02:44She was destined to become a more powerful phoenix mage than my mother.
02:47Unlike me, a useless chicken.
02:50Maybe my parents made a mistake.
02:53Maybe I'm not even phoenix-blood.
02:56Later, they laughed at me and threw stones at me.
02:59They hit me until I was covered in blood.
03:01Marnie had to rush out to chase them away.
03:04Sylvia, you are phoenix-blood.
03:06You will become a powerful phoenix mage.
03:09Don't give up because of what others say.
03:11If you give up, that's when life truly ends.
03:14But among the people who hit me was the son of the Blackwood Lord.
03:17After offending the Lord, Marnie could no longer stay in her homeland.
03:21So she could only wander around everywhere with me.
03:24In order to help me transform earlier,
03:27Marnie took out all her savings
03:29and sent me to Pine Castle Academy to study.
03:32But my talent was truly too poor.
03:36Even a normal magic academy like Pine Castle would not accept me.
03:40Marnie went to the headmaster
03:42and traded her precious feather.
03:44That's how I became a part-time student at Pine Hold Academy.
03:48But my magic core was severely damaged.
03:52And my spiritual power had never awakened,
03:56making learning extremely difficult.
03:58Even my mentor often shook his head and sighed at me.
04:01He told Marnie to give up early
04:04and not waste her effort.
04:06But Marnie refused to believe it.
04:08To prevent me from being expelled from the academy.
04:12Every night,
04:13she personally taught me meditation,
04:16guided my magic,
04:17and transferred her own power to me.
04:19She traveled into dangerous magic realms
04:21to find rare potions that could repair my core.
04:25Many times,
04:26she was surprised
04:26like ninja-like beasts
04:28guarding the medicine,
04:29barely surviving.
04:30I was afraid of losing Marnie,
04:32so I begged her not to go anymore.
04:34I would rather be a useless fool forever.
04:36Don't say death's useless things.
04:39The more I look down on you,
04:40the more you must wait up.
04:42You need to prove them wrong.
04:43Sylvia,
04:44I can't stay with you forever.
04:46You must learn to survive
04:48in this magical world on your own.
04:50Why can't Marnie stay with me forever?
04:52She didn't answer,
04:54only sighed and fed me the potion.
04:56I didn't want Marnie to risk herself for me anymore,
04:58so I studied magic even harder,
05:01after I don't know how many years.
05:03I finally transformed.
05:05Even though I was still plain and ugly,
05:07I finally awakened my magic talent
05:09and became a formal junior student
05:12of Pine Castle Magic Academy.
05:14Our little phoenix is getting
05:16more and more beautiful.
05:17Marnie always said proudly,
05:19she worked even harder
05:20to find magic potions
05:22and rare materials for me,
05:23trying to repair my damaged magic core.
05:26She still always came back injured.
05:29She didn't want me.
05:31The magical world is vast,
05:34and miracles happen all the time.
05:37If one day I become strong,
05:39will my parents love me like they love my sister?
05:41They will.
05:43Our Sylvia is so well-behaved.
05:46Who wouldn't love you?
05:47That night,
05:48Marnie borrowed a vision mirror
05:49from the headmaster.
05:50Through the door crack,
05:52I saw her talking to someone through the mirror.
05:54In the mirror,
05:55appeared a noble and elegant woman.
05:57She was combing the hair of a girl
05:59who looked somewhat like me.
06:01Her face showed a tenderness
06:02I didn't recognize from my memory.
06:04When Marnie asked to take me back
06:06to the phoenix homeland,
06:07her expression immediately changed.
06:10I've said it many times.
06:12I will not see her.
06:13Don't bother me with her anymore.
06:15I already consider I have no such daughter.
06:17She waved her hand
06:18and disappeared from the mirror.
06:20Only Marnie's teared eyes
06:22were reflected in the glass.
06:24After that,
06:25I never mentioned my parents again,
06:27I thought.
06:28Having Marnie's love was enough.
06:32Since I successfully took human form,
06:35it felt like I suddenly understood everything.
06:38From a low-level mage
06:39to a top-tier mage,
06:41it only took me 100 years.
06:43I became the strongest student
06:45in the history of Pine Castle Magic Academy,
06:48just in time for the academy tournament.
06:51My mentor took me
06:52and the junior students with him.
06:54This was my first time
06:55leaving Pine Castle Island,
06:57and in hundreds of years,
06:59it was also the first time
07:00I saw my parents
07:01and my sister.
07:03When I saw my sister Elena,
07:05she was surrounded by people,
07:06smiling and chatting.
07:08My junior Mina looked at her,
07:09then at me,
07:10and asked,
07:11Sylvia?
07:13That St. Augustine female student,
07:16she looks a lot like you.
07:17Is she your relative?
07:19Before I could answer,
07:20You're really flattering yourself.
07:23How can a turkey be compared to a phoenix?
07:26How are they alike at all?
07:27Elena also turned her gaze toward me.
07:30She looked slightly surprised and confused.
07:33There was even a hint of grievance
07:35as she looked around for something.
07:37Suddenly,
07:38I felt a sharp, cold gaze behind me.
07:41When I turned around,
07:42I saw a face both unfamiliar
07:44and familiar.
07:46Elena's eyes lit up.
07:47She pushed through the crowd
07:49and threw herself into her arms.
07:51Mother!
07:52I thought you weren't coming.
07:54How could I?
07:56I would never miss
07:57any important moment of yours.
07:59My mother gently stroked her face
08:00with affection.
08:01I want to personally witness
08:03my little princess
08:04grow into the most outstanding mage
08:07in the magic world.
08:10Mother, do you know her?
08:12She looks just like me.
08:16Silly girl.
08:17How can you compare yourself
08:19to a lowly person?
08:20You are the noblest princess
08:22of the phoenix clan.
08:23There is only one princess
08:25of the phoenix clan.
08:27And that is my daughter,
08:29Elena.
08:30She held my sister's hand
08:31and walked toward the high platform
08:34without even looking at me again.
08:35I was left standing there,
08:37swallowed by the laughter around me.
08:40So shameless!
08:41A turkey actually dares
08:43to pretend to be a phoenix.
08:45Exposed personally by the queen.
08:47How embarrassing can that be?
08:49My juniors and seniors
08:50were also mocked together with me.
08:52I felt guilty and said softly,
08:54Don't argue with them.
08:56I'm not a phoenix princess anyway.
08:58What right does someone
08:59who isn't even acknowledged
09:00by her own mother
09:02have to call herself a princess?
09:04But I didn't expect my juniors
09:05to be so brave
09:06and argued fiercely with them.
09:09We've seen Sylvia's true form
09:11with our own eyes.
09:13She's a nine-tailed golden flame phoenix.
09:16But the others simply didn't believe it.
09:18Prince Elena is the only
09:19rightful phoenix heir.
09:20Your senior?
09:21Never even heard of her.
09:23The argument escalated
09:24from shouting
09:25into physical conflict.
09:26One disagreement
09:27and they started fighting.
09:29At that moment,
09:30the Grand Mentor Cyrus,
09:32who had been watching,
09:33finally stepped in
09:34and separated us.
09:36After seeing our academy badges,
09:37he said,
09:38Throw out
09:39all these troublemakers.
09:41And what about them?
09:42I pointed at the others
09:44who had also fought.
09:45The Grand Mentor frowned.
09:47His gaze turned sharp
09:48and an overwhelming pressure
09:50fell on me.
09:51Cold sweat
09:52instantly formed
09:53on my forehead.
09:54But I forced myself
09:55to stand straight
09:56and faced him.
09:58Your judgment is unfair.
09:59I don't accept it.
10:01He frowned slightly.
10:02In the end...
10:04Then all of you
10:05disqualified.
10:07Elena arrived
10:08and looked at Cyrus pleadingly,
10:10all pitiful and fragile.
10:12Mr. Cyrus,
10:14this all started because of me.
10:16Please show mercy
10:17and don't punish my classmates.
10:20This tournament only happens
10:22once every hundred years.
10:24If they miss it,
10:25they'll have to wait
10:25another hundred years.
10:27That punishment is too severe.
10:30She bowed deeply,
10:31her attitude sincere and humble.
10:34But from beginning to end,
10:36she never mentioned anyone
10:37from our Pine Castle Academy.
10:40Mentor Cyrus was clearly softened,
10:42and after hearing everyone say
10:43we were the ones who started it,
10:45he made a quick decision
10:46and ordered us to be thrown out.
10:49I refused to back down
10:51and shouted loudly,
10:53Wait!
10:54Mentor Cyrus!
10:56Please check the full record crystal
10:57and confirm who struck first.
11:00If the truth is unclear
11:01and we are punished anyway,
11:03then even if I have to go to court,
11:05I will seek justice.
11:07At that moment of stalemate,
11:09the Phoenix Queen stepped forward.
11:11She glanced at me with pure disgust.
11:15You impersonated my Phoenix Princess
11:18and caused public outrage.
11:20I already showed mercy
11:22by not punishing you.
11:23If you keep making trouble,
11:25I will not show you any mercy!
11:28And a blazing flame
11:29instantly ignited in front of me.
11:31It burned the edges
11:32of my new robe black.
11:34Just half an inch closer,
11:36flame would have killed me.
11:38Sylvia, let's go!
11:39My junior was scared
11:41and pulled me back.
11:42I gently pulled her hand away
11:43and stepped forward,
11:45staring straight at the Phoenix Queen
11:47without fear.
11:48Are you trying to use your power
11:50to bully me, Queen of Phoenix?
11:54When did I ever impersonate
11:55a Phoenix Princess?
11:56If she dared to say
11:58I was impersonating,
11:59I would expose her lies
12:01in front of everyone,
12:02let the world see
12:03how she harmed her own child
12:05and abandoned me.
12:07She avoided my gaze,
12:09feeling guilty.
12:10A no-name academy
12:11like Pinus
12:12still wants to make a scene
12:13and gain attention?
12:16This academy competition
12:18is not a place
12:19for low-level mages
12:20to act wild,
12:21even though fights
12:22are supposed to be controlled.
12:24There have been cases
12:25where people died on the arena.
12:30If you overestimate yourself,
12:33you will pay a heavy price.
12:35I looked straight
12:37at the Phoenix Queen.
12:39How about a bet,
12:40Queen of Phoenix?
12:41If I defeat
12:42your precious daughter,
12:43you publicly apologize to me.
12:46I admit it,
12:47I couldn't swallow
12:48this humiliation.
12:50She damaged my magic core,
12:52despised me,
12:54tortured me,
12:54and finally abandoned me.
12:57Now she insults me
12:58and humiliates me
12:59in public again.
13:00If she thinks
13:01I'm a useless fool,
13:02then I will make her
13:03see it clearly for herself.
13:04How this useless daughter
13:07defeats the princess
13:08she raised like a treasure.
13:10You're overestimating yourself.
13:12You won't even survive
13:13the first round,
13:14let alone beat Elena.
13:16Are you afraid
13:16to make the bet,
13:17Queen of Phoenix?
13:18Afraid your princess
13:19will lose to a nobody like me,
13:21a so-called turkey?
13:22Why would I be afraid of you?
13:24The Phoenix Queen sneered.
13:26Since you're looking for death,
13:28I won't stop you.
13:30But what if you lose?
13:33Then I will destroy
13:34my own magic core
13:35and cut all ties
13:37with you forever.
13:38Her pupils shrank violently.
13:39Confused gazes from the crowd
13:41fell on both of us
13:42as if they were beginning
13:43to understand something.
13:47Fine.
13:48I accept.
13:50Elena,
13:51if you meet her in the arena,
13:53show no mercy.
13:56In the end,
13:58we were still allowed to stay.
14:00But as the St. Augustine students left,
14:03In the first round of chaos battle,
14:04no one is allowed to touch anyone
14:06from Pinecast Academy.
14:07They are our prey
14:08from St. Odyssey.
14:10The juniors were full of regret.
14:13Sylvia,
14:14we shouldn't have spoken up
14:15and caused trouble.
14:16We do now.
14:18They will definitely try to kill us.
14:19In the Magic Academy tournament,
14:21although killing is officially forbidden,
14:24during chaotic battles,
14:25magical power can easily spiral out of control.
14:29And deaths often happen.
14:31No one sympathizes with the losers.
14:33The path of magic
14:35is survival of the fittest.
14:36And anyone can fall at any time.
14:39This is the awareness
14:41every mage must have.
14:42Maybe we should just admit defeat
14:44and withdraw.
14:46No more coward talk like that!
14:48No more coward talk like that!
14:51We will never run away!
14:54We cannot let Pinecrest Magic Academy
14:56become a joke
14:57in the entire magic world!
15:00Don't be afraid.
15:02Stay behind me.
15:02As long as I'm alive,
15:04no one will hurt you.
15:05Sylvia,
15:06it's all my fault.
15:07I should have held back
15:08and not argued with them.
15:09I knew they were all standing up for me.
15:11When the match began,
15:13as expected,
15:14the other academies deliberately avoided us.
15:16The St. Augustine students surrounded us.
15:19One of them said to Elena,
15:20Elena,
15:21just watch from the side.
15:22I'll take care of this group of trash for you.
15:25Elena stood there like a lucky mascot,
15:27protected by everyone.
15:29She also had no intention of acting
15:31in the first round.
15:32I set up a strong,
15:33magical barrier to protect my juniors inside.
15:37Seeing me shielding them,
15:38All of you together don't stand a chance,
15:40and you think you can fight alone?
15:42You're clearly ready to die!
15:44If that's the case,
15:46I'll grant your wish.
15:47Everyone step back.
15:48I alone am enough to deal with her.
15:52He froze for a moment,
15:54slightly dazed,
15:55but still raised his wand
15:57and attacked me.
15:58In the blink of an eye,
15:59I passed by him.
16:00The battle ended,
16:01so fast that no one even had time to react.
16:05The spectators were still confused.
16:07My opponent slowly fell to the ground,
16:09turned his head unwillingly to look at me,
16:12and then passed out.
16:14Only then did everyone finally react,
16:16with rage.
16:17That witch must have used dirty tricks!
16:20Everyone be careful!
16:22Attack her together!
16:23I let out a slight sigh.
16:25Looks like this is going to take some effort.
16:27I removed the heavy gravity magic shackles
16:30I had worn on my hands and feet for years.
16:32My speed instantly reached the extreme.
16:35I don't have any lost,
16:36ancient, powerful magic,
16:38nor any noble inheritance.
16:40After 200 years of clumsy training,
16:43I only remembered one trick.
16:45In the world of magic,
16:47speed is effort.
16:49Facing more than 20 enemies,
16:51I turned into a shadow and moved through them.
16:54I knew they wouldn't give me many chances.
16:56Every attack had to be a clean hit.
16:59In a short moment,
17:00only 10 of them were still standing.
17:03This time,
17:03no one dared to underestimate me anymore.
17:06Countless eyes were focused on me.
17:08Some were impressed.
17:09Some were mocking.
17:11I felt an even colder killing intent from my opponents.
17:15Kill us!
17:16And they began forming a magic array.
17:19I refused to sit and wait for death,
17:21and rushed straight into the center of the formation at lightning speed,
17:25disrupting me.
17:27But they reacted quickly,
17:28and immediately changed the formation,
17:31trapping me inside.
17:32I felt a storm of windblades rushing toward me like a spiral.
17:36I had no choice but to reveal my true form,
17:39using Phoenix's sacred fire to form armor.
17:43I unleashed a violent flamestorm to counterattack.
17:46After a Phoenix cry,
17:48all the St. Augustine Academy students fell to the ground.
17:52The arena fell into terrifying silence.
17:55She really is a phoenix!
17:57A nine-tailed golden flame phoenix!
18:00Does the phoenix royal family have two princesses?
18:02Why have we never heard of this?
18:04I returned to human form and stood in front of Elena.
18:07For some reason,
18:08Elena suddenly cried out loudly,
18:10I am the only princess of the phoenix clan!
18:13She is fake!
18:14Then she revealed seven phoenix feather wands,
18:17the highest sacred artifact of the phoenix clan.
18:20The seven feathers activated at once,
18:23sending a destructive force straight toward me.
18:27I heard my junior screaming behind me.
18:29I didn't turn back.
18:31My eyes instinctively looked toward my mother
18:34sitting on the high platform.
18:35If I died,
18:36she would probably feel relieved.
18:39Just when everyone thought I was surely going to die,
18:42the seven phoenix feathers stopped right in front of me,
18:46only a hair's breadth away from piercing my body.
18:49Elena, don't let her go!
18:50She injured so many of us!
18:51If we don't kill her,
18:53what about St. Augustine's honor?
18:54Oh.
18:55They thought Elena didn't want to kill me.
18:58I quickly chanted a spell silently.
19:00The seven sacred artifacts suddenly reversed direction
19:03and flew toward Elena,
19:05surrounding her.
19:07In an instant,
19:09even the air seemed to freeze.
19:13Sylvia is amazing!
19:15Oh my god!
19:16Elena looked at me in disbelief.
19:18She desperately waved her wand,
19:20trying to regain control,
19:22but it was useless.
19:25Just surrender.
19:31Sister,
19:32guess what mother will do if I get hurt?
19:39She threw herself back as if I had hit her,
19:41but my weapons were still inches away from her.
19:51Sylvia!
19:52Stop!
19:56My mother fired a massive wave of fire at me.
20:00I was sent flying and hit the ground,
20:02tasting blood.
20:05I could have dodged it,
20:07but I suddenly felt,
20:09this is fine.
20:10From now on,
20:12we're even.
20:14A wave of anger exploded around me.
20:17This is too much!
20:19This breaks the rules!
20:20This is unfair!
20:20Where is the judge?
20:21A senior stepped in!
20:22How can this still be a ma-
20:23The Phoenix Queen roared.
20:24What does it have to do with you?
20:26This bad girl tried to kill her own sister.
20:28As her mother,
20:29I'm just teaching her a lesson.
20:31That's only right!
20:36Oh.
20:38At this moment,
20:39she admitted I was her daughter again.
20:42Didn't stop her from hating me.
20:45If I had known earlier,
20:46I would have killed you.
20:48Where did you steal the Phoenix Clan's
20:51Sacred Wand spell from?
20:56Bring me the Holy Spring Water!
20:58Quickly!
20:59She immediately ordered Sacred Spring Water to be brought,
21:02cleansing the wand again and again.
21:04The Sacred Artifact has been touched by her!
21:07It's filthy!
21:08If Elena uses it again,
21:09then she'll be contaminated by impurity!
21:12She finished speaking,
21:13holding her precious daughter,
21:14and flew away.
21:16All eyes in the arena fell on me,
21:18some full of sympathy and pity,
21:20others with disdain and mockery.
21:22The Phoenix Queen is so mean!
21:25Why would Sylvia?
21:27It's also this to her daughter!
21:30The junior schoolmate cried so hard,
21:33tears and snot all over her face.
21:36I just slowly got up,
21:38swallowed the blood in my mouth,
21:40and asked the judge standing at the side,
21:43Did I win?
21:44He froze for a second,
21:46then nodded hard.
21:48I smiled and thanked him,
21:49then released the magic barrier.
21:54The junior schoolmate ran over,
21:56hugged me,
21:57and cried loudly.
21:59Sylvia,
21:59if the Phoenix Queen doesn't want you,
22:01I do!
22:02I'll go home and tell my mom to adopt you!
22:04From now on,
22:04you're my big city!
22:06The others burst into laughter.
22:09I couldn't help but laugh too,
22:11even though my eyes felt sore.
22:13This world is never short of people who love me.
22:16I won the Grand Championship with overwhelming strength.
22:19Alaric,
22:20the High Elder of St. Augustine Academy,
22:23personally presented my prize.
22:29Child,
22:30consider transferring to St. Alex Daniel.
22:32With your talent,
22:33you'll surely become a legendary mage before long.
22:37Thank you for the offer,
22:38but I already have a mentor.
22:44Excellent!
22:45You stay true to your roots and value loyalty.
22:47If you ever need help,
22:47come find me at St. Augustine.
22:49My juniors were overjoyed.
22:50They didn't want me to leave.
22:51I had long considered Pinehold Academy home,
22:53mine and Marnie.
22:54The thought of Marnie made me desperate to return.
22:57Part of the championship prize
22:59was a blade of everlasting grass.
23:01I wanted to give it to Marnie,
23:03but when I got home,
23:04Marnie was gone.
23:07There were only a few lines on the table
23:09telling me to come to the Phoenix Castle to find her.
23:12I had a terrible gut feeling,
23:14and I rushed to the Phoenix Castle in the middle.
23:23I haven't been back in centuries.
23:25This place is even more extravagant than before.
23:29They've added more palaces,
23:31and the most beautiful one is the Golden Palace,
23:33where Elena lives.
23:34After waiting for a long time,
23:35I finally saw the Phoenix Emperor and Queen.
23:39Where is Marnie?
23:41Where are you hiding her?
23:43Such poor manners.
23:45You don't even greet your parents
23:47just caring about an old servant.
23:49Let it be.
23:50She's lived with that owl, Marnie, for years.
23:52They're bound to be close.
23:57Sylvia,
23:58Your sister has been in an accident
24:00after losing to you.
24:01She's suffered trauma and magical instability,
24:03and her magic core is severely damaged.
24:05I hope you can show some sibling there
24:07and give her half of your magic core.
24:09Give half my magic core to her?
24:12Exactly.
24:13Our Phoenix clan is different from other magical Reese's.
24:16Our magic cores can regenerate and be reshaped.
24:19Especially your sacred soul core.
24:21You're the perfect example.
24:22Wasn't your core shattered at birth?
24:24And look, it grew back just fine.
24:27You can easily grow a new one.
24:29If your sister gets half of your sacred soul core,
24:32she'll have the most perfect foundation.
24:35He said it so matter-of-factly,
24:37as if he were asking me to share half a piece of candy.
24:39But that is my magic core.
24:41It's the core that Marnie spent hundreds of years
24:44risking her life countless times
24:46and suffering countless wounds
24:48just to help me heal piece by piece.
24:51Sir, I can't do that.
24:54You ungrateful wretch!
24:56Let them stop!
25:01You ungrateful wretch!
25:03Let them stop!
25:09If you hadn't defeated her at the championship
25:11and shattered her spirit,
25:14causing her magic to spiral out of control,
25:17would her core be damaged in the first place?
25:19You owe her this!
25:20If you won't give it to her,
25:21I'll rip your core out myself
25:23and give the whole thing to her!
25:24Don't forget I gave you life!
25:26Your core was something I bestowed upon you in the first place!
25:28In that moment,
25:30I finally understood.
25:32Any relationship in this world depends on a bond.
25:36She and I were never meant to have a mother-daughter connection.
25:39She doesn't love me,
25:42so I don't need to love her either.
25:45Where is Marnie?
25:49She's dead.
25:52She's dead.
25:57Your mother is just saying that out of anger.
26:00Marnie is currently at the Golden Palace taking care of your sister.
26:03She also hopes you'll be willing to share half your magic core with her.
26:07I want to see Marnie first.
26:09If I don't see her,
26:11we have nothing to talk about.
26:12You've really grown some nerve!
26:14Is that any way to speak to your parents?
26:17I should have killed you with a single sword stroke back then!
26:23Why didn't you?
26:30Elena is still waiting to be saved.
26:35Now you, Sylvia.
26:36They told me to wait here,
26:38promising that Marnie would come to see me shortly.
26:46But the moment that imposter appeared,
26:48I knew she wasn't Marnie.
26:51Marnie would never look at me with such a stranger's gaze.
26:55And she certainly wouldn't start by trying to persuade me
26:58to hand over the magic core I'd sacrificed my life to build,
27:02just to gift it to the...
27:03Princess.
27:07Where is my Marnie?
27:10You foolish girl.
27:12Don't you recognize me?
27:15Hurry up,
27:16and cut out your magic core.
27:18Her Highness the Princess is waiting.
27:20Where is Marnie?
27:22What have you done to her?
27:25Silly child.
27:27I'm right here.
27:29She stubbornly insisted she was Marnie,
27:32but I had lost all patience.
27:34With a sharp flick of my wrist,
27:37I unleashed the true Phoenix Fire,
27:40forcing her to reveal her true form.
27:42She shrieked for help.
27:45The Phoenix Emperor and Queen rushed in,
27:49physically restraining my frenzied attack.
27:57What have you done to her?
28:04If you return her to me safely,
28:06I will give half my magic core to Elena.
28:09I didn't care about the power.
28:11I didn't care about the cost.
28:13I just wanted Marnie back.
28:16I would give them everything.
28:18Everything I had,
28:19if it meant she could be safe.
28:21The Phoenix Emperor avoids my eyes,
28:24and the Phoenix Empress gives a signal to the servants outside.
28:28She has so many wounds,
28:30still bleeding,
28:31dripping all the way across the floor.
28:33I call her name,
28:34but she can't even answer me anymore.
28:38Marnie,
28:40please wake up.
28:41I brought you the eternal herb.
28:43You're going to be okay.
28:44My hands shaking.
28:46Just open your mouth, Marnie.
28:51It's useless for her.
28:52Better to save it for your sister.
28:55Take this and give it to the princess.
28:57My eyes turn bloodshot as I look at her.
28:59Get back.
29:01I rush forward,
29:03trying to grab it back.
29:06A strong wind suddenly strikes from behind,
29:10but I don't feel anything.
29:12The moment I turn around,
29:14Marnie has shifted back into her true form.
29:17Wings spread wide,
29:20shielding me from behind.
29:29There's a massive hole in her chest.
29:31Quick.
29:32Run.
29:34Go.
29:37Sylvia.
29:39You have to stay alive.
29:43You're not going anywhere today.
29:44Since you won't share half your magic core with your sister,
29:48then give it all back to me,
29:51along with your life.
29:52The Phoenix Empress tries to stop me.
29:55Marnie grabs onto her legs.
29:57Even after she's completely lost her spark of life,
30:00I run forward,
30:02not caring about anything else.
30:04Though I have no idea where I can possibly go without Marnie.
30:08But I have to keep running.
30:10I can't die.
30:11I have to survive.
30:15I think of Elder Alaric of St. Austin.
30:20This Sylphina.
30:22Maybe he's the only one who can save me.
30:24But there's no way I can handle the Empress and the Emperor right now.
30:28St. Austin is too far.
30:30I'll never make it there.
30:34Not to mention the tens of thousands of guards in the Phoenix Castle.
30:38But the abyss of the fallen gods.
30:40It's just right around the corner.
30:43It's just right around the corner.
30:43It's just right around the corner.
30:43It's just right around the corner.
30:44It's just right around the corner.
30:44It's just right around the corner.
