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