Short filmTranscript
00:00:00I was two months pregnant and suffering from severe anemia.
00:00:03Excessive blood loss would cause a miscarriage, yet my husband forced me onto an operating
00:00:07table and drew 800 cubic centimeters of my blood.
00:00:09His beloved childhood sweetheart had been injured, and I was the only person with a
00:00:13matching blood type to hers.
00:00:15Let me go!
00:00:16What are you doing?
00:00:18I'm anemic and pregnant!
00:00:20I can't give blood!
00:00:23Oliver, I'm your wife!
00:00:25I'm pregnant!
00:00:26The doctor said I'm severely anemic!
00:00:27If you take my blood...
00:00:29Christina, stop causing a scene.
00:00:32Elena is dying.
00:00:33Don't be so selfish.
00:00:35What about our baby?
00:00:36Last night you kissed my stomach.
00:00:38You said you couldn't wait.
00:00:39Now you want to kill it yourself?
00:00:41Just a blood draw.
00:00:42The baby will be fine.
00:00:44Do it.
00:00:45No!
00:00:47Blood flowed down the tube, drop by drop, pulled straight out of me.
00:00:50As the blood left me, my vision blurred.
00:00:52Oliver, you're going to regret this.
00:00:54A sharp pain tore through my stomach.
00:00:56I could feel it.
00:00:57My baby was slipping away.
00:00:58Blood pooled beneath me, spreading in dark red waves.
00:01:01Oliver didn't even look.
00:01:02All he saw was Elena.
00:01:04He was holding her hand.
00:01:05As everything went black, I woke up in an empty room.
00:01:08Only for a doctor to confirm the nightmare.
00:01:10My baby was gone.
00:01:11I lay alone in that hospital bed for three long days.
00:01:13Meanwhile, Oliver never left Elena's side.
00:01:16I watched a billionaire play nurse for someone else.
00:01:18No screaming.
00:01:19No crying.
00:01:20I simply dialed my lawyer.
00:01:22Draft my divorce papers.
00:01:25I stared at the divorce papers, turning the ring in my hand.
00:01:28Ring number 95.
00:01:30Five years ago, Oliver was the untouchable billionaire heir.
00:01:33I was the broke scholarship girl.
00:01:34I thought his 99 proposals were a sick game.
00:01:36I was just some bet.
00:01:38A girl he'd win, then dump.
00:01:39His first proposal?
00:01:40He lit up the whole Manhattan sky.
00:01:41A thousand drones spelling Christina marry me over Central Park.
00:01:44Proposal 2?
00:01:45A real van go delivered to my dorm.
00:01:47The frame was covered in pink diamonds.
00:01:49Three.
00:01:50Four.
00:01:50I kept pushing the rings away, but he broke down my walls.
00:01:53Then came the 99th time.
00:01:54Christina.
00:01:5599 times I chose you.
00:01:57Every time I break your heart throw one away.
00:01:59I won't stop you.
00:02:00Just say yes.
00:02:03I thought I was the exception.
00:02:04And for years, I was.
00:02:06He gave me everything.
00:02:07I never threw a single ring away.
00:02:09I'd stare at that wall-sized safe at night.
00:02:11Rows of massive, flawless diamonds.
00:02:13Then Elena showed up.
00:02:14Everything changed.
00:02:15In just a few months, I threw away ring after ring.
00:02:18Today, it's ring number 95.
00:02:20I dropped the diamond straight into the hospital trash can.
00:02:23Christina, what the hell are you doing?
00:02:26It was Oliver.
00:02:27Holding Elena up.
00:02:28His boys all around him.
00:02:29Just me.
00:02:30Gripping my bag.
00:02:31Looking like a ghost.
00:02:35Why are you still here?
00:02:36What did you just toss?
00:02:37Looked familiar.
00:02:38He reached for the trash.
00:02:40But Elena gasped and pebbled to the floor.
00:02:42He rushed straight to her.
00:02:43Forgot about me on the spot.
00:02:44I swallowed the news of the miscarriage.
00:02:46I just turned and walked away.
00:02:47But Oliver grabbed my arm.
00:02:49You're coming with us.
00:02:51At the car, Elena slid right into the passenger seat.
00:02:54Christina, I get so carsick after surgery.
00:02:57You don't mind if I take the front, right?
00:02:59Too exhausted to fight.
00:03:00I reached for the back door.
00:03:01But Lucas and one of his friends shoved past me.
00:03:03Sorry, Christina.
00:03:05Elena's fragile.
00:03:06We're crashing at your place to keep an eye on her.
00:03:08I stared at Oliver behind the wheel.
00:03:10Jaw clenched.
00:03:11Not saying a word to stop them.
00:03:12I let out a laugh.
00:03:13Why did I expect anything different?
00:03:15Oliver's crew always hated me.
00:03:17To them, Oliver and Elena were endgame.
00:03:19Same world.
00:03:20Same money.
00:03:21And me?
00:03:22I was just the broke interloper.
00:03:23Whenever they crashed at our place, they treated me like the maid.
00:03:26Cleaning up their messes.
00:03:27And Oliver watched in utter silence.
00:03:29Even today, I was carrying his baby.
00:03:31And he still forced me to give blood for her.
00:03:33It wasn't the first time they treated me like trash.
00:03:35But it was the first time I felt nothing.
00:03:37I'll find my own way home.
00:03:38But first, sign it.
00:03:42Oliver didn't even read the cover.
00:03:44He just scribbled his name without looking.
00:03:46What is it this time?
00:03:48A house?
00:03:48A new car?
00:03:49We'll talk later.
00:03:50Stop making a scene.
00:03:51Elena isn't feeling well.
00:03:52Rolled up the window.
00:03:53And sped off.
00:03:54I looked at his signature.
00:03:55A faint smile crossed my face.
00:03:57Ring number 96 was next.
00:03:59Clink.
00:04:00The ring dropped straight into the storm drain.
00:04:02Rush hour.
00:04:03Not a single cabin sight.
00:04:04I called the estate.
00:04:06Could you send a car to pick me up?
00:04:08Ma'am, Mr. Oliver took the whole fleet.
00:04:09He went to pick up imported flowers for Elena.
00:04:11Got it.
00:04:1290 degrees out.
00:04:13I had just left the hospital after the procedure.
00:04:16And I walked an hour in the blazing sun just to get home.
00:04:19The second I walked in, the complaints hit me.
00:04:21Christina, what took you so long?
00:04:23I'm starving.
00:04:24Go whip up something good.
00:04:25The AC was off in the dead of summer.
00:04:27All because poor little Elena might get cold.
00:04:29Don't just stand there.
00:04:30Go fix us something to eat.
00:04:32Christina, go make dinner.
00:04:33Oh, and make that lobster bisque for Elena.
00:04:35She needs her strength.
00:04:36A knife twisted in my chest.
00:04:38I couldn't breathe.
00:04:39I walked into the kitchen.
00:04:40I pulled out ring number 97.
00:04:42And tossed it into the trash.
00:04:46I carried the steaming pot of soup to the dining room.
00:04:48I was drenched in sweat.
00:04:49Elena stood up.
00:04:50She reached out to take the bowl.
00:04:52The second I let go, her fingers snapped back.
00:04:54Shattered porcelain and boiling soup erupted across the floor.
00:04:57Watch out!
00:04:57He shielded Elena completely, but the scalding liquid seared my calves.
00:05:01It burned my skin red.
00:05:03Christina, I know you hate me, but you didn't have to throw it.
00:05:06What the hell, Christina?
00:05:07You've had it out for her for months.
00:05:09She's just our friend.
00:05:10What is wrong with you?
00:05:11Apologize.
00:05:11She dropped it.
00:05:12On purpose.
00:05:13You crossed a line today.
00:05:14She just got out of the hospital.
00:05:15You terrified her.
00:05:1690 degrees out, and I was freezing.
00:05:18The searing pain on my leg was nothing.
00:05:20The pain in my chest was killing me.
00:05:22Fine.
00:05:23I'm sorry.
00:05:24The food is ready.
00:05:26I apologized.
00:05:27Can I go treat my burn now?
00:05:29I turned my back on the shattered porcelain and retreated to my room.
00:05:32Outside, it was pure chaos.
00:05:34I could hear Elena crying.
00:05:36Please, don't fight over me.
00:05:37I'm just making things worse.
00:05:39I'll get out of your way.
00:05:42I retrieved the velvet box from my safe.
00:05:44Inside was another ring.
00:05:46Ring 98.
00:05:47Just as my fingers closed around it, the bedroom door clicked open.
00:05:52Oliver didn't run after her.
00:05:54He came in.
00:05:54His eyes landed on the diamond ring in my hand.
00:05:57He froze for a split second.
00:05:58Then, his face went blank.
00:06:00He probably figured I had plenty left.
00:06:03Christina, why can't you just let it go?
00:06:05Elena is fragile right now.
00:06:07She needs you to cut her some slack.
00:06:10Besides, we're having a baby.
00:06:11Once work slows down, I'll give you a real wedding.
00:06:13So don't start again.
00:06:15So you did remember I'm pregnant.
00:06:20I reached into my bag.
00:06:22My fingers hit the report.
00:06:23The one about the miscarriage.
00:06:24Right then, his phone blared.
00:06:27What's wrong?
00:06:28Oliver, get out here.
00:06:29Elena just got hit by a car.
00:06:42Seven years after his death, my husband came back to life at Flame Keep's Spring Feast.
00:06:46Adrian, you black-hearted dog.
00:06:48To feign your death upon the field, poor liar must have wept herself blind.
00:06:52So what?
00:06:53She was utterly devoted to me.
00:06:54The only reason I married her was the gold her father brought me.
00:06:57Otherwise, what makes a merchant's daughter like her think she's worthy of climbing into my bed.
00:07:02If it weren't for her, how could Leora have committed suicide after marrying my brother?
00:07:05She should feel ashamed and beg for our forgiveness.
00:07:08If not, I will not go back.
00:07:09He'd been living easy all these years.
00:07:11He had no notion that his desertion had long since been laid bare, nor that White Flame Keep had passed
00:07:16to another hand.
00:07:16The day he faked his death.
00:07:18But on that same day, the Iron Cavalry of Sarn smashed the gates of White Flame Keep.
00:07:22In a single night, he was branded a traitor and a deserter.
00:07:25The city was put to the sword.
00:07:28Nearly all were butchered, including my parents.
00:07:30There was not even enough left of them for a proper burial.
00:07:34Had Lord Roderick Harwin not descended from the sky on Dragonback, I would not be standing there now.
00:07:39And Torrin, the old Lord of White Flame Keep, the father Edren kept talking about.
00:07:43On the day Lord Harwin pulled him from the ruins, he confessed his son's treason and threw himself into the
00:07:48flames.
00:07:50As for me, I survived.
00:07:52But I had remarried a long time ago.
00:07:54Darren was still jeering, playing to the crowd.
00:07:57By the gods, that's cold.
00:07:59Your Liar was a beauty.
00:08:01Were you not afraid she would run off with another?
00:08:05Run off?
00:08:06She was eight months pregnant.
00:08:07What man of honor would have her?
00:08:09And she was crazy about me.
00:08:11She was likely clutching my air to her breast every night, praying for my return.
00:08:15She would never have left.
00:08:17Given how hard Liar was obsessed with you, she spent all these years hiding like a rat and will die
00:08:22alone still whispering your name.
00:08:24Honestly, she brought it on herself.
00:08:26Shameless, the way she begged for the marriage.
00:08:28No wonder she found herself a widow so young.
00:08:30I wager she's wasting away in her grief.
00:08:32If she saw you now, she'd probably lose her mind.
00:08:35He didn't object to a single word.
00:08:38I only slept with her once, and she got pregnant.
00:08:41What does that make her, huh?
00:08:42Sounds like a whore to me.
00:08:43Several men exchanged lewd grins.
00:08:45I locked my eyes on Edrin's face, and a coal fire began to burn in my veins.
00:08:49Seven years ago, he abandoned us all.
00:08:52Old Torrin was forced to drag his alien body into a suit of rusted armor and ride out to meet
00:08:56the war.
00:08:56Mira and I were left behind in the war camp, huddled together, counting the last of our meager supplies.
00:09:02And there was nothing we could do.
00:09:08Torrin's forces were broken, again and again.
00:09:10From the rear, we heard the news from the front.
00:09:13Each report worse than the last.
00:09:15I heard my parents had been slain.
00:09:17I heard my family's wrong, gathered over generations, had been looted.
00:09:21On the distant ridgelines, the warning beacons were lit.
00:09:24One after another.
00:09:26Until he came.
00:09:27Down from the clouds, through the smoke and ash, on the back of a dragon.
00:09:31Lord Roderick followed.
00:09:33The dragon lord, master of the scarlet and dragons, the keeper of the iron flame throne, ruler of the scarlet
00:09:38sun kingdom, lord of flame keep and the dragon's pine sea.
00:09:40He buried the truth of Edrin's treason.
00:09:43In return, I was wed to him.
00:09:45The keeper of the iron flame throne held too much power for anyone to question him.
00:09:49The official story was that Torrin and Mira cast would have died of a sudden sickness.
00:09:52It was a lie that preserved what little honor their name had left.
00:09:55Then someone in the crowd spotted me.
00:09:58His face lit up.
00:09:59He slapped Edrin on the arm and pointed straight in my direction.
00:10:04Laya?
00:10:05What are you doing here?
00:10:06Damn, Aedlin.
00:10:07You're barely back from the grave and she's already tracked you down.
00:10:09Someone's desperate.
00:10:11Have you no shame?
00:10:12This feast is Lady Harwin's.
00:10:13Were you even summoned?
00:10:14Do not disgrace me before the guards drag you out.
00:10:16The dragon lord is insanely protective of his wife.
00:10:19Lady Harwin doesn't like seeing people, so he keeps her completely hidden away.
00:10:22No one's ever seen her face.
00:10:23This is the first feast she's ever hosted.
00:10:25We all came tonight hoping for a glimpse of her.
00:10:27So, Laya, I know you missed Aedrin, but try not to ruin the feast for the rest of us.
00:10:32You just crawled out of your grave, Sir Caitlid.
00:10:35Worry about yourself.
00:10:37White flame coal is not as you remember it.
00:10:40Back then, Torrin sent him to the war hoping he'd earn some glory.
00:10:43I remember my belly was so swollen it was hard to walk,
00:10:46but I stood with him at the gates, terrified, begging him to stay safe.
00:10:49The only news we received was that he'd faked his death and fled the battlefield.
00:10:53I was eight months pregnant, hauling arrows and tending to the wounded in the rear camp.
00:10:58But the enemy broke into the audience faster than anyone feared.
00:11:02Boys, a fat-bellied one.
00:11:03Any of you had the taste?
00:11:04One of them kicked me hard.
00:11:06I hit the ground.
00:11:08Blood poured down my legs.
00:11:09You don't have to make up such pathetic lies to lure me back.
00:11:13If loneliness has made you so desperate,
00:11:15beg me sweetly enough and I may grant you one night in my bed.
00:11:18He saw the flicker of pain in my eyes and thought he'd hit the mark.
00:11:21He looked proud of himself.
00:11:24Why, Laya?
00:11:26Is that you?
00:11:27You poor thing.
00:11:29Having to look after Whiteflame Ward all these years.
00:11:32Aedlin, that is cruel.
00:11:34You have spent so long tending to us that poor Laya has been left to grieve alone.
00:11:38It was Leora Fane.
00:11:40She hid behind the lie that died of heartbreak and gone away with Edrin.
00:11:43To live as man and wife in some other place.
00:11:45And Edrin, who knew the whole thing was a lie, I remember.
00:11:49He once forced me to stand outside in the freezing cold all night as penance for Leora.
00:11:53My nails dug into my palms as I stared at the two of them.
00:11:55After Leora's tragedy, a healer managed to save her.
00:11:58Turns out she was already pregnant.
00:12:00She's been recovering in seclusion all these years.
00:12:01It hasn't been easy for her.
00:12:02A widow with a child.
00:12:03I couldn't just abandon them, so I decided to marry her.
00:12:05Make her my wife.
00:12:06Her son will inherit the title of Whiteflame Keep.
00:12:08The least I can do to honor my brother's memory.
00:12:10You will return and make the Keep ready.
00:12:12And if I hear so much as a whisper against her, you will answer for it.
00:12:14I had never heard such shamelessness uttered aloud.
00:12:17That boy was obviously his.
00:12:19His and Leora's.
00:12:20Whom you wed is no concern of mine, Sir Castwood.
00:12:24I was wed again long ago.
00:12:26Remarried?
00:12:27You think I give a damn?
00:12:28I didn't come back for a woman like you.
00:12:30I heard the dragon egg at Whiteflame Keep hatched.
00:12:32The ice dragon egg my family has guarded for generations.
00:12:34I, Adian of House Castwood, shall mount the ice dragon and rule as king.
00:12:37And that dragon is my blood right.
00:12:38Don't you come crying back to me when it happens.
00:12:41Of course!
00:12:41No wonder you came back now, Adrian.
00:12:43You're about to become a dragon lord!
00:12:45Even Lord Harwin will have to bow to you then, won't he?
00:12:47Already picturing himself on the back of a great ice dragon.
00:12:50And all I could think was, he has no idea that dragon hatched seven years ago.
00:12:54It hatched on the night Whiteflame Keep was slaughtered.
00:12:57It hatched while the Sarnriders were swimming over me.
00:13:00After my blood soaked into the dirt.
00:13:01My blood fell upon the ancient shell, already split with cracks.
00:13:05Then it broke.
00:13:05A little dragon, blew as winter ice.
00:13:09And you, the nerve you have, saying things like that.
00:13:13If I remember correctly, you were eight months pregnant.
00:13:15What man of rank would take a woman swollen with another man's bastard?
00:13:18Or'd you have to go crawling to some lowborn merchant?
00:13:20Right.
00:13:21You are common trash, after all.
00:13:23The men are everything I have to do.
00:13:25Mother, when is father coming back?
00:13:27These people are so loud.
00:13:29You want me back that badly?
00:13:31You even brought the child with you?
00:13:34This child!
00:13:35She should be seven by now, should she not?
00:13:38Why is she so slight?
00:13:40Liar, even if you're angry with Adrien, you can't take it out on the child.
00:13:45That's just cruel.
00:13:46Just then, her son came charging back.
00:13:49He saw the unique dragon scale pendant around Alia's neck.
00:13:52Give me that!
00:13:54Mom said you and everything this woman has belongs to me.
00:13:58Give it back!
00:14:01It's my birthday present!
00:14:03It's not yours!
00:14:05It all happened so fast.
00:14:06I didn't have time to think.
00:14:08I just shoved the boy back and scooped Alia into my arms.
00:14:11The boy fell on his back and let out a piercing, theatrical shriek.
00:14:17You dare lay a hand on a child?
00:14:21Leora was right.
00:14:22You're a bitch who belongs in the slums or a brothel!
00:14:27I've known Adrien since we were children.
00:14:29When other kids would corner me and bully me, he was the one who fought for me.
00:14:33He'd get his face bruised and bloodied, but he would always stand stubbornly in front of me.
00:14:37Back then, I thought he would protect me forever, and that I would love and cherish him forever.
00:14:42But now, in front of this whole crowd, for another woman, he had just humiliated me without a second thought
00:14:47for my dignity.
00:14:48He reeled from the slap, his rage about to explode.
00:14:52But when he saw my red-rimmed eyes, he faltered for a second.
00:14:55For the briefest instant, he looked almost ashamed.
00:14:58Leora seized the moment.
00:15:00She clutched her son to her chest and let out a choked sob.
00:15:03It seems Leora doesn't want us to come back.
00:15:06I always knew Meera preferred her.
00:15:08But now that I'm a widow, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised I'm not welcome.
00:15:12Maybe we should just leave.
00:15:14I left you in charge, to see to my parents and the running of the keep.
00:15:18How dare you waste the keep's money on useless things like this!
00:15:22His eyes fell on the dragon scale hanging around Alia's neck.
00:15:25Wait!
00:15:26Where did you get that dragon scale?
00:15:28That's a scale from my family's ice dragon!
00:15:31That scale is mine by blood!
00:15:33Mine!
00:15:34You have the nerve to scavenge it and wear it?
00:15:36That belongs to me!
00:15:37You've been squatting in White Flame Keep all these years.
00:15:41You probably never even got to touch the egg, did you?
00:15:44Now the dragon has hatched, and that scale is mine!
00:15:48You're a commoner's daughter.
00:15:49By what right do you touch it?
00:15:51I couldn't even be bothered to answer him.
00:15:53I turned to a handmaiden who had just rushed over.
00:15:57Get the healer.
00:15:59Being ignored sent Edrin over the edge.
00:16:02He grabbed my arm.
00:16:04It's a little scratch.
00:16:05And you're gonna bother Lord Harwin's people over that?
00:16:10Liar, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:16:12I've seven years alone surely made you so bitter.
00:16:14Are you just lonely, is that it?
00:16:16Blaming me because you've had no one?
00:16:18Ask pardon as you ought, and I may yet come to your bed.
00:16:22I have told you why I'm remarried.
00:16:25You need to start worrying about yourself.
00:16:30Fine, be stubborn.
00:16:32I'll be waiting for the day you come begging me to take you back!
00:16:35After the healer had cleaned and dressed Alia's cheek,
00:16:37a deep wave of exhaustion washed over me.
00:16:39I used to wonder, for a long time, if Edrin had a reason.
00:16:43Some secret hardship that made him abandon his wife, his unborn child, and his home for seven years.
00:16:48I remember the night before Mira walked into the throne room and took her own life.
00:16:52I never should have gone to your father's house with Torrid.
00:16:55I never should have promised you, on that monster's behalf, that he would be good to you.
00:17:01We did this.
00:17:03We ruined you!
00:17:05Mira had always been so full of life, a woman who refused to grow old.
00:17:09From the day I married Edrin, she treated me like her own daughter.
00:17:12But in one single night, the weight of it all had broken her.
00:17:15Liar.
00:17:17White Flame Keep has failed you.
00:17:19If that animal ever comes back, I give you my blessing to kill him yourself.
00:17:24Now you go find a good man.
00:17:26And don't you dare grieve for us.
00:17:29In the seven years since I married Roderick Harwin, I've rarely left the castle.
00:17:32This was the day the stranger took Mira.
00:17:34I hosted this feast to tell the spirit of the old woman who loved me like a daughter that I
00:17:38was okay.
00:17:39That I had finally moved on.
00:17:42I took a breath, composed myself, and walked back to the great hall.
00:17:47Edrin and Leora were sitting together, acting for all the world like a happy couple.
00:17:50I walked right past their table without even a glance.
00:17:56But as I passed, the boot caught my hand.
00:18:00I remember her.
00:18:02That's Edrin Casford's wife.
00:18:03The one who's been lonely for seven years.
00:18:06Is she doing this to get his attention?
00:18:07How shameless.
00:18:09Is she crazy?
00:18:10Making a scene at a feast by Lady Harwin?
00:18:12Liar!
00:18:13How could you?
00:18:15I know you're upset with Adrin, but you can't act like this at Lady Harwin's feast.
00:18:20Are you trying to make Lord Harwin angry with Adrin on purpose?
00:18:23Adrin's expression turned lethal.
00:18:25Lia, so you are here to cause trouble.
00:18:28Seven years, and you still haven't learned a thing?
00:18:34Directive received.
00:18:36Die.
00:18:37They replaced me with an AI that wants crying now.
00:18:41Mom and dad brought home an AI daughter.
00:18:43The day she arrived, I became the difficult one.
00:18:46Dad thought I was too hard to deal with.
00:18:49Mom thought I'd never measure up to AI Seraphine.
00:18:52Kayla yelled to write in my face.
00:18:55All you ever do is fight me for everything!
00:18:57What else are you good for?
00:18:59I wanted to cry, but I couldn't.
00:19:01I rushed over and shoved Seraphine to the floor.
00:19:05Seraphine is your sister!
00:19:07If you had half her obedience, I wouldn't have Migra every single day because of you!
00:19:11I'm sending you to the Harmony Institute.
00:19:14Maybe they can teach you how to be a decent daughter!
00:19:17Just like that, she replaced me.
00:19:19I was sent to the Harmony Institute for reconditioning.
00:19:23Three years later, Dad, Mom, and Caleb came to pick me up.
00:19:27Nora, I didn't move an inch.
00:19:30Mrs. Ashford, you have to say, activate.
00:19:33Otherwise, Unit 1314 won't boot up.
00:19:36Mom looked at the back of my neck.
00:19:39Activate.
00:19:41Unit 1314.
00:19:43She had no idea what the word meant to me.
00:19:45She was just parroting the director.
00:19:49Unit 1314, Able.
00:19:51Awaiting directive.
00:19:53We designed a special system for our students, Mrs. Ashford.
00:19:56She requires a verbal trigger to be awakened.
00:19:58Once activated, she will never disobey you again.
00:20:01Caleb shopped forward.
00:20:03He was five years older than me.
00:20:06Making me cry used to be his favorite gang.
00:20:08I used to chase him around the house until Mom screamed at us both.
00:20:13Look!
00:20:13Unit 1314.
00:20:15Bark like a dog.
00:20:17The second I heard the command,
00:20:19I hunched my shoulders, stuck out my tongue, and barked.
00:20:27Looks like Nora finally learned her lesson.
00:20:29It used to take half an hour just to get her to practice piano.
00:20:33Now tell her to bark like a dog, and she does it instantly.
00:20:36On the drive home, Mom tried to make small talk.
00:20:40Nora, how were your three years at the Institute?
00:20:42I said nothing, because she hadn't used the command to answer.
00:20:47Nora?
00:20:47Interrogative statements do not constitute valid commands.
00:20:51If a response is required, please use imperative format.
00:20:56Answer.
00:20:57Life at the Institute was productive and enriching.
00:20:59I completed the three core modules,
00:21:02Emotional Suppression, Absolute Compliance, and Rational Overrill.
00:21:06My final evaluation was optimal.
00:21:08The handler graded me as the most successful conversion case of the year.
00:21:11The backseat was silent.
00:21:13Caleb muttered.
00:21:14She's just like Serafina.
00:21:17Three years ago, real trees had lined this road.
00:21:20Now, they'd been replaced by glowing air purification columns.
00:21:24A holographic billboard played an Elysian in the streets as an AI girl smiled at the camera.
00:21:31The text below read,
00:21:32The child you've always dreamed of.
00:21:35As we drove past, the girl tilted her head the exact same way Serafine did.
00:21:40The city blurred past the window.
00:21:43The skyscrapers and the sky bridges looked nothing like I remembered.
00:21:48Inside the Elysian suit, time was just a series of commands.
00:21:52A day and a month felt the same.
00:21:54I tracked time using Nutali marks I scratched inside the sensory deprivation pot.
00:22:00Eventually, I forgot how to count.
00:22:02It was dark when the car pulled into the parking level.
00:22:05Serafine waited by the front door.
00:22:07Her hands folded neatly in front of her.
00:22:09Her lips were fixed in a calculated smile.
00:22:12She looked the same as she did three years ago.
00:22:15Back then, mom crouched down to speak to her.
00:22:19Serafine, welcome home.
00:22:20I jumped off the couch to see my new sister.
00:22:24My food caught on something.
00:22:25I hit the floor face first.
00:22:27Nobody helped me up.
00:22:29They just said I was clumsy.
00:22:31After that, no one looked at me the same way.
00:22:34Caleb rolled his eyes when I spoke.
00:22:37Mom pulled Serafine behind her when I entered the kitchen.
00:22:40Dad stopped calling me, kiddo.
00:22:42I wasn't as obedient as Serafine.
00:22:44I wasn't as sweet.
00:22:46In the end, they sent me away.
00:22:48Welcome home, Nora.
00:22:50Her voice was just as sweet and incloyent as I remembered.
00:22:54I didn't answer.
00:22:56She hadn't issued the answer directive.
00:22:59Are you still mad at Serafine?
00:23:01Did you learn nothing?
00:23:03Say something!
00:23:05Acknowledged.
00:23:08Serafine's smile never wavered.
00:23:10Mom nodded in approval.
00:23:12At dinner, everyone sat around the table.
00:23:15Serafine sat to Moss right.
00:23:18Caleb sat to Das left.
00:23:20I was seated at the far end of the table.
00:23:23Steam rose from the plates.
00:23:25The smell of roast chicken from the food printer hung in the air.
00:23:29But, I felt nothing.
00:23:30At the institute, eating was categorized as
00:23:33energy intake behavior.
00:23:36It had nothing to do with hunger or pleasure.
00:23:39Let's eat.
00:23:40I instantly picked up my fork.
00:23:42Caleb stopped eating.
00:23:43His eyes went wide.
00:23:45No way.
00:23:46Since when do you eat Brussels sprouts?
00:23:47You used to gag just looking at them.
00:23:48I didn't answer.
00:23:49I just dabbed another Brussels sprout with my fork.
00:23:53The handler told us that
00:23:54personal preferences are emotional residue.
00:23:57Proof of an incomplete conversion.
00:23:59During my third month,
00:24:00I refused to eat Brussels sprouts.
00:24:02They locked me inside the sensory deprivation pot
00:24:05for two full days.
00:24:07The pot had no white,
00:24:09no sound,
00:24:10and no physical cessation.
00:24:11There was nothing but total darkness.
00:24:14When they finally let me out,
00:24:16I ate the Brussels sprouts.
00:24:18Then came the liver,
00:24:19the mushrooms,
00:24:20and the asparagus.
00:24:21I ate every single thing I used to refuse to touch.
00:24:26Mom nodded approvingly.
00:24:28She'd always hated picky eaters.
00:24:30A second later,
00:24:31I reached for the peanuts on my plate.
00:24:33I put a peanut into my mouth.
00:24:36I chewed exactly 15 times.
00:24:38Then I swallowed.
00:24:40Did she just eat a peanut?
00:24:42Nora is severely allergic to peanuts.
00:24:44She ate one when she was little,
00:24:45and her lips swelled up.
00:24:46We had to rush her straight to the ER.
00:24:49Since when can Harmony cure allergies?
00:24:52At the Institute,
00:24:53allergies were treated as a form of weakness.
00:24:56The hinder simply smeared peanut butter onto my bare arm.
00:25:00The redness,
00:25:01the blisters,
00:25:02and the rotting skin spread across my arm.
00:25:04An allergy is a physical weakness.
00:25:06Weakness can be trained into strength.
00:25:08My skin rotted
00:25:09and healed over and over again.
00:25:12But the allergic reactions never stopped.
00:25:15Back at the dinner table,
00:25:16my body gave a sudden jolt.
00:25:18I felt my throat tightening,
00:25:19and my skin starting to itch.
00:25:21Angry red whales erupted all over my neck and face.
00:25:25Face is getting red.
00:25:26That's not blushing.
00:25:28That's an allergic reaction.
00:25:30Nora, stop eating right now.
00:25:31You know you're allergic to peanuts.
00:25:34Is that a directive?
00:25:38Patient presents allergic reaction.
00:25:41Respiratory distress level moderate.
00:25:44Skin inflammation coverage approximately 23%.
00:25:47Recommend immediate administration of epinephrine.
00:25:50They reacted instantly.
00:25:52Instantly,
00:25:52they scrambled to find an epipen
00:25:54and jammed it into my leg.
00:25:59Once my breathing returned to normal,
00:26:02the living room fell dead silent.
00:26:04Caleb's voice drifted from the couch.
00:26:06Something's wrong with her.
00:26:09She used to cry.
00:26:11She used to throw tantrums.
00:26:13She didn't act like...
00:26:15like Seraphine.
00:26:18Can you just be normal?
00:26:20Stop acting like Seraphine.
00:26:22We just wanted a sister who listens,
00:26:24not a machine.
00:26:25Please define normal.
00:26:27Caleb turned pale.
00:26:29Dad and mom looked rattled.
00:26:31Dad immediately caught the institute.
00:26:33The voice on the phone explained
00:26:35it was a standard reaction
00:26:37to deep behavioral reconditioning.
00:26:40They promised it would fade in a few days.
00:26:43Unit 1314 is our highest performing case right now.
00:26:46Her compliance surpasses any AI model.
00:26:49Rest assured,
00:26:50this is completely normal behavior.
00:26:52Dad hung up and repeated the words to mom.
00:26:54She nodded.
00:26:55They both let out a sigh of relief.
00:26:57For the next few days,
00:26:58I became the most useful tool in the house.
00:27:00Mom told me to wash the dishes.
00:27:02I scrubbed them cleaner than Seraphine ever could.
00:27:05Dad told me to organize the garage.
00:27:07I moved every single box by myself.
00:27:10Caleb told me to grab his delivery downstairs.
00:27:13I made a round trip in under two minutes.
00:27:16Mom actually laughed.
00:27:17She's even better than Seraphina now.
00:27:20No one disagreed until that night.
00:27:23Caleb forgot to issue the shutout directive.
00:27:26Everyone went to sleep.
00:27:27I sat on the living room couch from dusk until dawn.
00:27:31When Mom came downstairs the next morning,
00:27:34she found me sitting in the exact same position I'd been in the night before.
00:27:39She stopped dead in her tracks.
00:27:41The coffee mug slipped from her hand and shattered.
00:27:44God of the holy light cover on the continent of Athabas.
00:27:48During the last war of the gods and demons,
00:27:50I expended my very last ounce of divine power to seal the dark lord Neveran,
00:27:56banishing him forever into the endless city.
00:28:08Great! It's the master!
00:28:17It's the master!
00:28:21Oh, no.
00:28:24AAAAAAHHHHH!
00:28:49Let!
00:28:50You think this is the end?
00:28:52You'll die with me!
00:28:57Luke's Cloud!
00:29:01My entire soul has been sealed within this ring.
00:29:05I never imagined that I would return to the world in a different way a thousand years later.
00:29:15Please, let Evan go! I'm sure I can save him!
00:29:19Isabel!
00:29:19Have you lost your mind, Isabella? It's the Black Plague!
00:29:22If we don't burn him, the whole village will die!
00:29:25No, Evan, no!
00:29:27No!
00:29:28No!
00:29:33Evan, no!
00:29:35Evan!
00:29:36Evan!
00:29:45Where am I?
00:29:48He...
00:29:49He becomes a ghost!
00:29:51Evan wakes up?
00:29:52This must be the will of the gods!
00:29:55Please spare him!
00:29:56No way!
00:29:57He's already dead!
00:29:59This must be a demon!
00:30:00Burn him!
00:30:01We can't let him back to the village!
00:30:10No, Evan!
00:30:10Evan!
00:30:11No!
00:30:30Thank god, Evan.
00:30:32Is he okay?
00:30:33He must be a monster! A demon!
00:30:36He should be burned at the stake!
00:30:38Shut up!
00:30:39Only way you're touching Evan is over my dead body!
00:30:42It seems I have taken possession of that dying boy's body.
00:30:45The woman standing before me must be his mother.
00:30:49I, the creator god of the Holy Light Covenant,
00:30:52have returned to the mortal world only to find myself as a frail, sickly child?
00:30:59We cannot keep this child!
00:31:03Chief!
00:31:04I'm not a monster.
00:31:06I've awakened my magic.
00:31:10What are you dreaming of?
00:31:13Apart from the direct descendants of the Holy Light Covenant,
00:31:17ordinary awakeners are few and far between!
00:31:22The only awakened in our village is the chief.
00:31:25You are truly shameless as a good-for-nothing who's caught the Black Death.
00:31:30You'll find out if it works when I try it.
00:31:33I was only at D-Rage when I first awakened,
00:31:35not even good enough to stand guard in the Holy Light Covenant.
00:31:38If you really have awakened magic as a mundane through your own talent,
00:31:42you'll be our village hero, if not.
00:31:46I'll make you die in a way that's a hundred times more painful than just now.
00:31:51Expect your magic or a father.
00:31:57Now, place your hand on the mirror and it will test whether you have awakened and determine your magic level.
00:32:04What a pity, child.
00:32:07You have no talent in magic at all.
00:32:10That's impossible!
00:32:12You're lying, bastards!
00:32:14How could such a lowly magic mirror be fit to reveal myself?
00:32:35I used barely a tenth of my divine power, yet it caused such cataclysmic changes to the landscape.
00:32:42It seems that, a thousand years on, the mages of the Aetheris Continent have made no progress whatsoever.
00:32:52The Magus of the Aetheris Continent has made no progress whatsoever.
00:32:52Tapos Volaris, come to me!
00:32:54Tapos Volaris, come to me!
00:33:05She's a mid-level mage at Sea-Rank.
00:33:07How on earth does she have a flying carpet reserved for the nobility of the Coven?
00:33:13I'm sorry, Evan.
00:33:14Mum didn't mean to keep our status as wizards a secret from you.
00:33:17It's just that, for certain reasons, I've been forbidden from using magic.
00:33:22It's okay, Mum.
00:33:38It's okay, Mum.
00:33:47A thousand years have passed, and I, too, look forward to returning.
00:34:10Evan, you haven't been fully confirmed as having awakened your magic yet, so you must stay
00:34:14close to me.
00:34:15What?
00:34:22Locker 42 only has three minutes of magic time.
00:34:26We absolutely cannot afford any slip-ups.
00:34:33Porta obscuta apra!
00:34:51I never imagined the magical world would have evolved like this a thousand years on.
00:34:55How interesting.
00:34:58Can you believe a lonely Ondian using Locker 42 and dares to go to the Holy City?
00:35:05That's ridiculous!
00:35:18Evan, I believe that one day you'll awaken your magic.
00:35:23First of all, let's find the Holy Spring and heal your body.
00:35:32Are you lot off to the Holy City for the elections, too?
00:35:35Carriage 42 for Junior Wizards is at the very back.
00:35:49You wait here for me, Evan.
00:35:51I'm going to the front to get the...
00:36:10Hear.
00:36:11I'm okay.
00:36:38Will you return to the Holy City for the rest?
00:41:24You show your face here again.
00:41:35I am the Pope's youngest daughter, and like you, I am a full-fledged member of the Holy Light Covenant.
00:41:42But while your brothers are fighting for the coven on the battlefield, what are you doing?
00:41:47You chose to alope with the coachman.
00:41:50My abilities are limited, and the Pope would not allow me to go to war.
00:41:55I simply refused the Duke's proposal of marriage, and chose happiness instead.
00:42:02What is wrong with that?
00:42:04How shameless!
00:42:06God!
00:42:07Strip her of her magic and the token, and banish her from the Holy City forever!
00:42:23Incendio!
00:42:31Now it's your turn.
00:42:34We're family!
00:42:36Why are you pushing up so hard?
00:42:38You're just two rats.
00:42:40Do you call yourselves family?
00:42:43How dare you!
00:42:44When the coven was first founded, we never sent women into battle, nor did we rely on political marriages to
00:42:50survive.
00:43:09You have no right to point a wand at me, let alone claim to speak for the Holy Light.
00:43:21Depulcio!
00:43:22Depulcio!
00:43:31Marcus, are you okay?
00:43:34What on earth is that lad's background?
00:43:36He disabled Marcus' wand with a single spell, left him with injuries that severe.
00:43:41Guards, seize Isabella and this brat at once!
00:43:45Have them thrown into the Gaul to face the fiery punishment!
00:43:53Go on then, have at it, but I make no promises that your lives are worth as much as your
00:43:59bravery.
00:44:00What are you waiting for? Get him!
00:44:03Everyone, stop!
00:44:16Your holiness!
00:44:24Father.
00:44:27Father.
00:44:28I am already apprised of what has just transpired.
00:44:31It was Marcus who was imperturbate first, yet I cast myself rather curious about this lad's method.
00:44:36Magic at an A-plus standard, far superior to those other wasters, but scarcely of the caliber required to serve
00:44:43as the Pope.
00:44:44Father, Evan has only just come into his magical powers. They are not yet steady, and he has been frail
00:44:51since childhood.
00:44:52We return this time to stand in the great election.
00:44:54If he might obtain the Holy Spring, then Evan may yet have a chance to live.
00:44:59I can afford you that chance.
00:45:01If an election is at hand, if you truly have the metal to carry off first honours, all our past
00:45:07grievances shall be wiped clean.
00:45:08If, should you prove wanting, I shall personally see you undone.
00:45:16Thank you, Father.
00:45:18Let them go.
00:45:28You wretch!
00:45:30I'll never let you and that little bastard off the hook.
00:45:42This is the Dragonspine Bridge, laid under the curse of the unworthy shall fall.
00:45:47Only by crossing it through one's own magic may one be deemed to have properly entered the trial.
00:45:55Ah!
00:46:06Acquia Forma!
00:46:13Good luck, mate!
00:46:22Don't be afraid, mummy's here.
00:46:24No matter how hard it gets, I'll get you through it.
00:46:26Even if you fall, I'll catch you with my own body.
00:46:28Mum, I'm not scared.
00:46:30I'll protect you.
00:46:34Vines arise.
00:46:35Weave and bind!
00:46:37Hans Yuva!
00:46:39Let's go!
00:46:48Evan, hold me!
00:46:50A shodry wand and a few ragged vines.
00:46:53Dare you challenge the Dragonspine trial?
00:46:58Since you like it so much, let him hang here forever.
00:47:04Let everyone see a lowly Mondin who isn't even worthy of setting foot on the trial fields.
00:47:11Leave Evan alone!
00:47:12Face me instead!
00:47:15Very well!
00:47:16My familiar hasn't broken its fast this morning.
00:47:19You shall make a fine meal for it.
00:47:21Don't hurry, I'll make sure to savor it.
00:47:23Fight by fight.
00:47:29No!
00:47:31I'll go with you.
00:47:32Just let him go.
00:47:34I'll go with you.
00:47:47Please.
00:47:50I'll go with you.

01:06:00What the hell was that?
01:06:02Am I finally getting my wolf?
01:06:08You idiot! You scared the princess!
01:06:11Princess! Please!
01:06:12You threw the necklace! It startled the horse!
01:06:15So now it's my fault?
01:06:17No! No! No! Of course not!
01:06:19It was that slave girl! She spooked the horses!
01:06:23I didn't block anything. Your horse lost control.
01:06:26Liar! On your knees, rat!
01:06:28Or my king father will chop off your head for this!
01:06:33Being a noble doesn't give you the right to be a tyrant.
01:06:37Let go of me, bitch!
01:06:38What's happening here?
01:06:41Queen Selene. The fiercest white wolf in the realm. My hero.
01:06:46Mother! Thank the goddess you're here!
01:06:49This slave attacked us!
01:06:51She tried to flip the royal carriage!
01:06:53She ambushed us, your grace.
01:06:55I only came to watch the tournament, your grace.
01:06:57Her horse spooked!
01:06:58I didn't touch her carriage!
01:06:59My daughter carries royal blood.
01:07:01A white wolf does not lie.
01:07:03Guards, drag this slave to the dungeon.
01:07:11Please, your grace!
01:07:12Please, I know I'm lowborn.
01:07:27Please, I know I'm lowborn.
01:07:42I have no good one.
01:08:07A white wolf!
01:08:11Your purchase is very important!
01:08:12It hurts!
01:08:16Guards! Kill that slave!
01:08:24The first knight of the Seven Kingdoms. He's magnificent.
01:08:28Perfect match for Princess Rosalind.
01:08:31For the champion's sweat, Arthur.
01:08:38Who is she?
01:08:39Why do I feel so... inexplicably drawn to her?
01:08:44That rat again?
01:08:45She humiliated me, and now she's trying to seduce my Arthur?
01:08:49I'll kill her myself.
01:09:09Strip her. Put her in the dead man's armor.
01:09:16Wait, what is this? Let me down!
01:09:19The final juice! Prince Arthur versus the Mystery Challenger!
01:09:34God is... I'm dead.
01:09:38Stay focused, Alina. Breathe.
01:09:43Charge!
01:09:44Charge!
01:09:52Incredible!
01:09:53This Mystery Knight has better balance than most of my generals.
01:09:56There is a rhythm to the movie.
01:09:58It's almost familiar.
01:10:01Why won't he just kill that piece of filth?
01:10:04Fall already!
01:10:18The Moondancer Strike.
01:10:20No one else knows that move.
01:10:22It's like looking into a mirror.
01:10:45Finish it, Arthur. Take her head off.
01:10:50This is it. He's going to kill me.
01:10:58A girl?
01:11:01A girl?
01:11:02A girl just fought the first knight of the realm to a standstill?
01:11:05She fights like a pure-born white wolf.
01:11:07Did you see her face?
01:11:09She looks exactly like Queen Selene at the Battle of the Red Flats!
01:11:20It's you.
01:11:21The champion has won!
01:11:24Crown the Queen of Beauty!
01:11:33To the fiercest and most beautiful on this field.
01:11:39No.
01:11:40He's crowning a slave?
01:11:41This is a complete insult to the royal family!
01:11:45She is an assassin!
01:11:46She ambushed my carriage and tried to murder me!
01:11:49Arthur!
01:11:50Take that crown off her head immediately!
01:11:52Criminals get no honor in this kingdom!
01:11:55Her parents are war prisoners!
01:11:57They fought for the usurper Lucian!
01:11:59She has traitor blood in her veins!
01:12:01Traitor!
01:12:03Slave!
01:12:04Agar!
01:12:04For assaulting the princess and polluting a royal tradition!
01:12:09I declare this slave a traitor to the realm!
01:12:12Death to the slave!
01:12:13Execute her right now!
01:12:16Execute her!
01:12:17Execute her!
01:12:18Execute her!
01:12:22Anyone who wants her head goes through me!
01:12:34Jalabi!
01:12:35Jalabi!
01:12:47Run!
01:12:48They're after you!
01:12:49Run!!!
01:12:50And this pathetic bastard sister of mine is what you turned me down for?
01:12:55You simple-minded beast!
01:12:57If it wasn't the frost out of nowhere that killed my dragon, I would never have even considered you!
01:13:31This stupid animal may be a cur, but its flesh carries resistance to the frost.
01:13:36Solve it and consume its flesh. You will all inherit the resistance.
01:13:45Rugen! No!
01:13:47You chose him and yet, you failed him.
01:13:51Your whole existence is a disgrace to our family!
01:13:57Die, crockroach!
01:14:04As expected, this grey-maned bear of rather modest lingonagy
01:14:09has been left unchosen.
01:14:11And in that case, Brugen, it seems you'll be bound to our lowest-ranking student, Emma.
01:14:18Be bound? Did I survive?
01:14:20Wait! Am I back to the day when I was bound with Brugen?
01:14:25So, Emma, though I suppose your choices are rather limited...
01:14:29Professor Rockweld, I'll take him.
01:14:32Laugh while you can.
01:14:34When the frost takes over everything in half a month,
01:14:36you will all be overwhelming with jealous.
01:14:40Wait!
01:14:46I'm taking the bear.
01:14:48You can bind with the dragon, sister.
01:14:51What is Fiona doing?
01:14:52The heir to the Drake family has always bind with dragons.
01:14:54Why would she go with anything else?
01:14:56And that's an Aurelian dragon.
01:14:57They appear only once in centuries.
01:14:59Fiona must be out of her mind to choose an inferior beast over that.
01:15:02Fiona, I must remind you that the selection of your bonded creature is not a trivial matter.
01:15:08It will affect not only your graduation, but also the limits of your future magical potential.
01:15:13Professor Rockweld, and that's precisely why Emma needs the dragon more than I do.
01:15:18My grades speak for themselves.
01:15:20I can handle myself regardless of what I bind with.
01:15:23But Emma, on the other hand...
01:15:25Look at her.
01:15:26She's already struggling.
01:15:27And on top of that, if she's paired with an inferior creature, I fear she may not graduate at all.
01:15:32A fine sentiment, Fiona.
01:15:34For a witch, power is secondary to character.
01:15:38And with a heart of gold like yours, you will go very far even if your bound creature is lesser.
01:15:45Well, Emma, don't you think you owe Fiona your gratitude?
01:15:48Um, thank you for the offer, Fiona.
01:15:51But this is really unnecessary.
01:15:53I quite like Bruggen, to be honest.
01:15:55Oh, come on, Emma.
01:15:56I'm trying to help you.
01:15:58Don't let your pride get in the way.
01:16:00No, it's really...
01:16:01Ouch!
01:16:08This...
01:16:09This is the unique way dragons bind with humans.
01:16:12This means the dragon chose me?
01:16:15Well, so much for it's really unnecessary.
01:16:18She refused it, then bound the dragon the moment she could.
01:16:21Shameless.
01:16:23That's an Anarian dragon.
01:16:25Some noble bloodline that appears once in centuries.
01:16:28If not for Fiona, she'd never have laid a hand on it.
01:16:32Lucky bastard.
01:16:35Lucky my ass.
01:16:36They have no idea.
01:16:38Indeed, Aurelian dragons possess extraordinary magical affinity.
01:16:44But their hatchlings are fragile in the cold.
01:16:51No!
01:16:52No!
01:16:54And that's exactly why last time it was killed in the frost on the first day.
01:17:01Valrax!
01:17:03You gave up a dragon, and took my bear.
01:17:07I see, sister.
01:17:09You also came back with your memories.
01:17:13Bruggen, I'm not worried about surviving the frost without you.
01:17:17But I'm worried, what if Fiona mistreats you?
01:17:26Don't worry.
01:17:27Bruggen got you.
01:17:34Don't worry.
01:17:37Our fist hump?
01:17:38He remembers.
01:17:39It means he's alright.
01:17:42It means he's alright.
01:17:42Did he also come back with his memories?
01:17:45Last time, Fiona drove the others and torn Bruggen to pieces.
01:17:48He may look gentle and simple-minded, but Bruggen never forgets.
01:17:53This time, this is going to be fun.
01:17:57Are you done staring at him?
01:18:00Are you talking to me?
01:18:02Your skills, they are beautiful.
01:18:05Naturally, I am an Aurelian dragon.
01:18:08We do not choose lightly.
01:18:10You should feel honored, human, rather than getting distracted by lesser creatures.
01:18:16Fair enough, little one.
01:18:18But why me?
01:18:20That ferocious woman.
01:18:21Her soul reeks.
01:18:23I can smell it out.
01:18:25But yours?
01:18:26It smells rather delightful.
01:18:28In fact, it is the most agreeable in this room.
01:18:31And do refrain from calling me little one.
01:18:34You may address me as your majesty.
01:18:37Of course.
01:18:38Your majesty.
01:18:42Alright, class.
01:18:43Copy this formation exactly as shown.
01:18:45Then speak the incantation.
01:18:48Voluntas Ligot.
01:18:51The bond will complete once you cast the spell.
01:18:54You may begin now.
01:19:05Where's my wand?
01:19:10I taught you the difference.
01:19:12Ruggish, could you pass me my wand?
01:19:19Aqua.
01:19:32Now you are using this knowledge against Fiona, clever bear.
01:19:39Voluntas Ligot.
01:19:51When a wand is reversed, the magic turns back on the caster.
01:19:55And that means, Rugen has become your master.
01:19:58No.
01:20:04Must you keep exchanging looks with that bear?
01:20:07Aurelian Dragons are not only of noble blood, we are also particular about what belongs to us.
01:20:14You've bound yourself to me, then your attention should follow.
01:20:18Um, okay. I will keep that in mind.
01:20:53Select your share, and you are dismissed.
01:21:04Jalabi!
01:21:11Well done.
01:21:14That was a month's supply.
01:21:15She fed it all at once?
01:21:17Has she lost her mind?
01:21:20She clearly wasn't paying attention.
01:21:23Last in the class, and now this?
01:21:24Poor Valrax is doomed with her.
01:21:27Binding with Valrax is wasted on her.
01:21:29Let me remind you.
01:21:31Fire Salbamanders are not easily obtained.
01:21:34They are to be used with care,
01:21:36and in accordance with Academy guidelines.
01:21:39Do not waste them.
01:21:41Of course, Professor Rockweil.
01:21:43I assure you, it wasn't wasted.
01:21:46We only have half a month till the frost arrives.
01:21:50Valrax has to grow fast to survive and protect me.
01:21:54If he dies right at the beginning again, that would be the real waste.
01:21:58Class is over.
01:22:09You remember, too, don't you, sister?
01:22:12Last time, you survived by clinging to that curt bear.
01:22:15This time, it's my turn.
01:22:19Then I wish you the best of luck.
01:22:21Of course.
01:22:22I will just fine with him by my side,
01:22:24freezing to death on the first day of the frost.
01:22:33Get that cursed, feral creature of yours away from me!
01:22:36I'm sorry.
01:22:38But you shouldn't have woken him up from his nap.
01:22:54Are you hungry already?
01:22:56You gotta be kidding me?
01:22:58Where am I supposed to find the extra salamers for you?
01:23:00I don't have the money for it.
01:23:02Did you hear?
01:23:03A freshman went into the Shadow Woods last night.
01:23:05Got completely lost.
01:23:07I'm not surprised.
01:23:08That place is covered in heavy fog all year round.
01:23:11The Shadow Woods.
01:23:12If I remember correctly, before the frost,
01:23:15someone found a salamander's nest there.
01:23:18If the timeline hasn't changed,
01:23:20no one's discovered it yet.
01:23:22This is going to take forever.
01:23:25If you want to crawl like this,
01:23:27hop on my back.
01:23:28I will take you there.
01:23:30But you are still just a hatchling.
01:23:32You're hardly big enough to carry.
01:23:49Shadow.
01:24:03Woo-hoo!
