Short filmTranscript
00:10If someone had told me that getting Isheroned into a novel could actually happen, I would have sent them to
00:14a psychiatrist.
00:15A blind date? Didn't I tell her I wasn't interested?
00:20In a world of shadows and lies, and is thrust into an epic battle for the fate of the world.
00:25Hey, I need you to finish this before you go home.
00:44Oh, you have got to be kidding me!
00:56I was a 150 year old witch living in this forest.
01:00I'd nearly died from eating a poisonous plant, and now, someone from another world was wearing my skin.
01:07My name is Serafina, and apparently, I live here now.
01:11Two years since I woke up in this world, I'd built a life here.
01:15Sold potions to the nearby town, tended my garden, and mostly kept to myself.
01:21Witches aren't exactly popular in Vessia.
01:24Guess there's more to this forest than I thought.
01:35Guess there's more to this forest than I thought.
01:53A child?
01:55Shield? What are you doing?
01:59Shield!
02:00Show yourself!
02:04Give me the boy!
02:06Not happening, purify!
02:07Give me the boy!
02:08Give me the boy!
02:34Do you want water or tea?
02:46Go ahead and eat.
02:50Whoa!
02:50Take it easy!
02:51I won't take your food away.
02:53There's plenty more.
02:55Drink this.
02:55It'll help your throat.
03:10It's a good thing.
03:23Dry off with this towel.
03:33Did you get in?
03:35I have a shirt.
03:37Are you okay?
03:47Sorry.
03:48Did I hurt you?
03:52Put this on when you're done.
03:54Great idea, Sarah.
03:56Make the scared child even more terrified of you.
04:01I'll get proper clothes for you tomorrow.
04:03Do you have any family?
04:04Would you like to stay here?
04:06I mean, unless you'd prefer an orphanage or a church.
04:09Then will you let me see your neck?
04:15What's your name?
04:17My name is Damien.
04:20Damien.
04:21I like it.
04:22Welcome home.
04:26I've never met anyone like her.
04:31No fear in her eyes.
04:34No disgust.
04:37This should be interesting.
05:02Release!
05:03I'm so sorry.
05:04I should have made sure you could leave freely.
05:07What were you doing?
05:12Were you trying to draw water?
05:14You don't need the well.
05:16This is a faucet.
05:17Mealtimes.
05:18Her study is off limits without her.
05:20And always tell her before leaving at night.
05:22Yes, Master.
05:24You don't have to call me Master.
05:26Serafina or Sela is fine.
05:31Serafina, are you okay?
05:35Perfectly fine.
05:36Eat up.
05:39I need you to come take measurements of a child.
05:42A child?
05:43I do not recall you mentioning having a mate and being impregnated.
05:46Nyx!
05:47No, I found him!
05:49I shall arrive in 15 minutes.
05:56What color do you like, boy?
06:03Silver.
06:07I am surprised, Master.
06:08Taking in a human boy, you do not let anyone close to you.
06:11You do not even have a familiar.
06:12That is dangerous for a witch.
06:14I can protect myself, Nyx.
06:16You are powerful, but you are not invulnerable.
06:18And a witch without a familiar is like a ship without a rudder.
06:21I have never needed a familiar before, and I do not need one now.
06:25You are my savior.
06:26I wish to see you live a long life.
06:31How old are you, Damien?
06:34Twelve.
06:37What?
06:40Sorry.
06:41You have nothing to apologize for.
06:43None of this is your fault.
06:50Sera!
06:51It's okay.
06:53She's not hurting me.
06:55In the novel, Damien has an aura that either makes creatures submit or become hostile.
07:01The chickens aren't affected because...
07:03Well, they're chickens.
07:06Every day, check for eggs.
07:08Clean the coop.
07:08Fresh water twice, two cups of feet at noon.
07:10What is that, Sera?
07:24Sera?
07:25My barrier.
07:26Keeps unwanted things out.
07:28I check it every few days.
07:31You're strange.
07:32Aren't witches supposed to be cruel?
07:35Some are.
07:37Witches are like anyone else.
07:39Some good, some bad, some a bit of both.
07:43I see.
07:45Damien is possessive.
07:46Not just of his future soulmate, but on anyone he claims as his.
07:50Good news, he won't randomly kill me.
07:53Bad news.
07:54My plan to send him off on his Emperor journey might get...
07:57Complicated.
08:00Looks delicious.
08:01This is one of my favorites.
08:10Hey, Sera.
08:12Why don't you have a familiar?
08:18You don't have to tell me.
08:21No.
08:23It's okay.
08:27His name was Finn.
08:30A shapeshifter.
08:33He preferred being a cat.
08:36We were together for 70 years.
08:39He was a pain.
08:40Always nagging.
08:41But he was my best friend.
08:43When I was escaping a country that persecuted witches, he protected me.
08:47Died in my place.
08:48After that, I couldn't bring myself to sign another contract.
08:51Felt like replacing him.
08:52It's been 65 years now.
08:54Thanks, Damien.
08:56I've never talked about Finn to anyone.
09:00Sorry, Sera.
09:02I didn't mean to make you cry.
09:06Everyone needs to cry sometimes.
09:08I'll be at the apothetary.
09:10The bookstore is down the block.
09:12You've already read everything at home.
09:15Use that for anything you like.
09:23Miss Serafita.
09:25Beautiful as always.
09:27Hello, Edgar.
09:28Been well?
09:36Damien!
09:39Ooh, you're a beauty.
09:41How about we let your little brother go and have some fun?
09:44Not a chance.
09:45I don't date men who hit children.
09:50Are you okay?
09:51I'm fine.
09:52Are you?
09:55Who said you could leave?
09:57What's going on here?
10:01Is the boy alright?
10:03Yes.
10:04Thank you, Captain Rhea.
10:06Captain Rhea, this is Damien.
10:09Damien, she guards this town.
10:12While I don't think leaving a boy with a witch is wise,
10:15he seems willing to stay.
10:17I have no objections.
10:21Thank you, Rhea.
10:23Captain Rhea, will you teach me swordmanship?
10:29Why?
10:31I need to become stronger.
10:33I'm a tough master.
10:35I won't care that you're a child.
10:39That won't be a problem.
10:49Well, that was easy.
10:51Predictable.
10:52You win the bet.
10:55Idiots.
10:56They'll be flogged.
10:59I was angry.
11:01Angry that I was too weak.
11:03That someone touched her.
11:05That she had to protect me.
11:08I need to become stronger.
11:10For her.
11:16Is this the last dish?
11:18It is, Master.
11:29What are you doing out here?
11:31Waiting for you.
11:34I have a surprise for you.
11:36One.
11:38Two.
11:39Three.
11:40Three.
11:44You did this for me?
11:46You said you didn't know your real birthday.
11:49So I'm using the day we met.
11:51There's no way I wouldn't like it.
11:54It has a protection spell.
11:55It'll keep you safe when I'm not around.
11:58I'll never take it off.
12:07She doesn't know what she's done.
12:09In this world, a witch giving a protective charm infused with her own magic is essentially marking someone as hers.
12:30According to the novel, the witch dies when Damien is around 15, killed in a demon attack.
12:37That gives me roughly two and a half years.
12:39I need a plan.
12:41I refuse to die, according to some plot.
12:45Reserve purification spells.
12:47I have modern knowledge, 150 years of witch experience, and sheer stubbornness.
12:52That demon doesn't stand a chance.
13:1010%
13:15in her life.
13:17M Laden.
13:18One.
13:19One.
13:19One.
13:20One.
13:22Two.
13:22Two.
13:38you learn too quickly it's unnatural is that a compliment it's an observation
13:44the witch does she know what you are i told you not to interfere i'm not interfering i'm asking
13:50if you're being honest with the person who saved your life she deserves to know boy before it's too late
14:07what
14:12show yourself
14:26a demon scout they're watching testing the barrier's strength in the novel the demon attack
14:34doesn't happen for another two years but scouts appearing this early you my might are on stelle's
14:43the coer sobs
14:48i need more time something wrong nothing just routine maintenance go to bed damien you're lying
14:57there was something at the barrier probably just a wandering creature i reinforced it we're safe
15:03if we're not safe tell me i will i promise
15:08your boy's got a head for business miss seraphina you don't guess we know in sillon he's better at
15:14math than i am
15:18these healing potions they're remarkably pure who is your supplier i make them myself i represent the
15:26thornwill trading company we'd pay handsomely for exclusive supply rights i appreciate the offer but
15:32i prefer to sell locally everyone has a price my dear
15:44she said no
15:48he was disrespectful
15:50what am i going to do with you that merchant worried me not because of the offer but because
15:56attention from trading companies means attention from nobles and attention from nobles means attention
16:01from people who might recognize what damien is he has grown significantly master
16:08both physically and otherwise
16:15master i encountered demon scent in the eastern forest multiple trails they are circling your territory
16:23how many at least five different scents and one was very old very powerful
16:31you what mice feel be you know what they want let me stay i can help defend if they find
16:38you here
16:39they'll target your home too i won't put you in danger and i will not watch my savior die
16:49i'm not going to die nix
16:52what were you talking about girl stuff
16:57menstruation
16:57that was effective
17:08every powerful defense spell needs a familiar of course it does
17:15a soul contract is different from a familiar bond
17:18it's deeper
17:21permanent
17:22both parties share strength pain and
17:26lifespan
17:28absolutely not i am not binding anyone's soul to mine
17:37can't sleep
