Short filmTranscript
00:00I died in the monster tide, not because I was weak, not because my magic failed, but because Fenrir betrayed
00:05me, and in my past life...
00:10Fenor, I'm scared!
00:14No, Fenor, you can't do this!
00:18Sarah, I have to.
00:21Fenor!
00:24There must be another way! Don't!
00:28And he chose her.
00:37I died.
00:43When I opened my eyes again...
00:51I was no longer in the ruins.
00:54I was back. Back to the annual Beast Pete ceremony. The same academy. The same altar. The same crowd. And
01:01there he was. Fenor. The Abyss Black Wolf. The strongest beast in Eldoria Academy. The beast everyone wanted.
01:09Of course you'll choose Fenor.
01:11She is Eloria's rarest genius.
01:14And Fenor is the strongest beast here.
01:16Vivian stood not far away, pretending she did not care. But I saw the hunger in her eyes. She wanted
01:23Fenrir. Good. Then she could have him.
01:27Sarah Winston. Choose your companion.
01:32I stepped toward Fenrir.
01:35The whole arena held its breath. Fenrir lifted his head, as if my choice already belonged to him.
01:43But just as his claws almost touched my boots, I stepped past him.
01:55At the edge of the arena, behind the proud black wolf, curled in the shadows, was a dying frost white
02:04baby dragon.
02:07At Eldoria Academy's annual Beast Pact ceremony, I chose the dying frost white baby dragon. Not Fenrir. Not the Abyss
02:14Black Wolf everyone wanted. The students around me stared as if I had lost my mind.
02:19Terra, are you serious?
02:21That dragon can barely breathe.
02:23Fenon is the strongest beast here. You should choose Fenon.
02:27I ignore them. I bent down and lifted it into my arms. It was cold. Almost lifeless. But beneath its
02:34broken scales, I felt something old. Something dangerous.
02:38The Ceremony Master comes.
02:43Sarah, once the pet is formed, it cannot be undone. Are you certain?
02:47I looked at the Ceremony Master.
02:49Yes, sir. I choose this one.
02:51The entire arena exploded. The others thought I'd lost my mind. They pulled me aside.
02:56You're the strongest here. You've got one of the rarest manor corners in a generation. That little thing can barely
03:01breathe. Let Lady Vivian take the scrap. It's perfect practice for her.
03:05Vivian's eyes lit up. She quickly lowered her head, hiding the smile on her face. She said softly,
03:11Sarah, Fenyor is so rare. I do not know how I could possibly take him from you.
03:18I almost laughed. In my past life, that same wolf destroyed me. This life, I would not feed him. I
03:24would not raise him.
03:27I took out a small crystal vest. Aphrodite's tear, one of the rarest beauty potions in Elloria, and placed it
03:34in Vivian's hand.
03:35Consider it payment for letting me take the dragon. Vivian's fingers closed around the vial immediately, but her voice remained
03:44gentle.
03:44If you insist, then I will accept Fennor.
03:49Fenrir moved to her side at once, eager, almost relieved. The two of them looked perfect together, a fragile beauty,
03:57and the beast who loved weakness.
03:59The entire academy looked at me like I was a fool, only I knew the truth. Fenrir was not a
04:05prize. He was a curse, and whoever kept him would pay the price.
04:09In my past life, let me back up. I am Sarah Willington. I am a rare genius at Eldoria Academy.
04:20I was born with divine anima resonation. Even the cruelest monsters feel my magic. They bow to me. They act
04:28close to me.
04:36In my past life, I thought my future was nothing but bright. Then came the Academy's yearly beast-packed ceremony.
04:43The Abyss Black Wolf is the best match for your resonance.
04:47I took the Chancellor's recommendation and chose the Abyss Black Wolf. That was why everyone believed Fenrir should belong to
04:54me.
04:55In my past life, I believed it too. I chose the Abyss Black Wolf.
05:03I brought him back to Windsor House. I fed him magic crystals. I healed his wounds. I gave him every
05:10rare potion I had.
05:11When his power was not enough, I entered the Mistwood alone. I fought corrupted beasts.
05:18I came back covered in blood. And every time, Fenrir waited at my door. I thought he was waiting for
05:24me.
05:24I thought our bond mattered. I was wrong. He only came close when I brought him resources.
05:30Year after year, I poured everything into him. And finally, Fenrir reached his shape-shifting phase.
05:35Black hair, and charming eyes. A perfect human form. The whole Academy envied me. They said I had raised a
05:43king.
05:43She raised a king.
05:45But the first time I heard Fenrir speak gently, it was not to me. It was to Vivian. I found
05:50them in her private residence.
05:52I find Fenrir in Vivian's private mansion. Vivian was holding a bloody dragon core. The core of her own bonded
05:58dragon.
05:59Fenrir stood beside her, wounded, but smiling.
06:02That dragon was useless. But its core can repair your weak magic. Soon, I will gain Sarah's full trust. Then
06:09I will take her magic core too. For you.
06:13My blood went cold. The dragon had protected Vivian for years. And she had let Fenrir kill it. For power.
06:19For beauty. For pride.
06:21I exposed them before the High Tribunal. Vivian was stripped of her title. Fenrir was sentenced to judgment. But before
06:28his execution, he begged me for one day. Just one day. He said he wanted to repay me. I believed
06:33him. That was my final mistake. He led me to Eldoria's leyline core.
06:38This is how I repay you.
06:40Then he broke the seal.
06:42Fenrir, wait!
06:44Ancient magic erupted into the sky.
06:49The monster tide came. I was trapped in the ruins. Bleeding, dying. I holding the last magic stone that kept
06:55the barrier alive. Fenrir with his claws ripped the magic stone from my hand. He gave the stone to Vivian.
07:01Then he turned back to me. No hesitation. No guilt. Just one hand raised. Purple black magic struck my chest.
07:09I fell and die.
07:10So when I opened my eyes again at the beast pact ceremony, I knew one thing. This life, Fenrir would
07:16never belong to me again.
07:19On the Elon continent, every mage can bind with a magical beast. This is a soul bound plect. The beast
07:26must obey its master. It is a bond of life and death. If the master is badly hurt, the beast
07:33shares the pain. It shares physical and soul damage.
07:39This is the eternal law.
07:48After I chose the dying dragon, Vivian could barely hide her excitement. She stepped into the pact circle with Fenrir.
07:55The ceremony master hesitated.
07:57Vivian, Fenrir's bloodline is dangerous. Your magic may not be enough.
08:04Vivian lowered her eyes. Her voice was soft. Her expression was perfect.
08:09I will try.
08:10The ceremony master activated the spell. The pact circle lit up. Once. Then died. Vivian froze.
08:18She tried again. The light flickered weakly, then vanished. She tried a third time. This time, the circle did not
08:25even respond. The arena went silent. Then someone laughed. Another followed. Whispers spread like fire.
08:33She doesn't have enough magic. She cannot bind Fenrir. She wanted the strongest beast. She cannot even form the pact.
08:43Fenrir's proud expression cracked. Vivian's face turned pale. For the first time in two lives, Fenrir was not chosen. He
08:50was rejected by me and failed by her. The ceremony master sighed.
08:55Vivian, your magic is too weak. You cannot complete the pact today.
09:00Vivian bit her lip.
09:00Please.
09:01She whispered.
09:02I can take care of him. I only need more time.
09:06Tears filled her eyes. Of course, she would not give him up. Her pride would not allow it. Her ambition
09:13would not allow it. The council finally agreed to let her temporarily keep Fenrir until her magic became strong enough.
09:19I almost smiled. Last life, I spent everything to raise you. This life, Fenrir could enjoy being dragged down by
09:26the woman he chose. I left the arena with the frost white baby dragon in my arms. Everyone behind me
09:32was still laughing. They thought I had chosen the weakest creature in Eldoria. But then, the dragon opened its eyes.
09:39Golden vertical pupils stared up at me. Ancient runes flashed inside them. For one second, I felt something older than
09:47the academy itself looking back at me. I brought the dying dragon back to Windsor House, my private estate inside
09:53Eldoria Academy.
09:54I set him down in the basin of the moonwell on the lowest floor, a font of pure mana-charged
10:00spring water, and let it lap at his throat. Then, the water turned gold. For a second, I just stared.
10:07The little dragon looked even stranger beneath the light. Its body was small, but the shape of its bones was
10:13too perfect. Its scales looked dull at first glance, but beneath the dust, faint golden lines ran across them. Not
10:20scars. Runes. Ancient dragon runes. I reached out and touched one.
10:24The dragon opened its eyes. At once, the air seemed to stop moving. A pulse of magic answered beneath my
10:31fingertips. My own magic answered it.
10:33That should have been impossible.
10:34No beast had ever stirred my divine anima resonance like that. The dragon slowly sank beneath the golden water. One
10:40by one, the runes along its body lit up. I stayed there, watching, until midnight. When the light finally faded,
10:46I thought it had fallen asleep.
10:47So I carried it back upstairs and returned to my room, set it in the basket beside my bed. That
10:53night, a surge of ancient magic woke me. Cold. Bright. Dangerous. I opened my eyes. The window was open. Moonlight
11:02spilled across the floor. The basket was empty, and beside my bed stood a man, tall, pale, white-haired. His
11:09golden eyes held the same vertical pupils I had seen in the arena. My hand moved to my dagger.
11:14Who are you? The man lowered his eyes to me. His voice was calm. Low. Dangerous.
11:23You chose me. Now tell me, Sarah Winsington, do you regret it?
11:30The man beside my bed had the same eyes as the dying dragon. Golden, vertical, ancient. For one second, I
11:37forgot how to breathe. I tightened my grip on the dagger.
11:43The dragon? You are the frost-white baby dragon? His expression darkened.
11:49I am not a baby.
11:50I almost laughed.
11:51You were small enough to fit in my arms.
11:52That, he said, was a temporary condition.
11:56Moonlight moved across his white hair. Faint golden lines flickered beneath his skin, then disappeared.
12:01What is your name? I asked. He paused, then said,
12:05Aaron.
12:06The moment he spoke, the pact mark on my wrist burned. I looked down. The symbol was no longer silver.
12:12It was not a normal soulbound pact. It was gold.
12:15A golden dragon-shaped mark slowly curled around my wrist.
12:19What did you do?
12:20Aaron looked at the mark.
12:21I did nothing. You woke me. So the oath answered.
12:27Oath?
12:27A dragon oath.
12:29I had read that name only once in a forbidden book.
12:32Oath?
12:32A dragon oath.
12:34A dragon oath was not master and beast. It was not command and obedience. It was power shared by equals.
12:40A bond. No ordinary mage could survive. I stared at him. A dying, frost-white dragon.
12:48Aaron glanced at me, then said the most insulting thing I had ever heard.
12:55You are weak.
12:57Excuse me?
12:58Your magic is rare, but your body wastes it. You breathe wrong.
13:02No one in Eldoria had ever called me weak. But before I could argue, he touched the mark on my
13:07wrist.
13:07Golden magic rushed through me. The exhaustion hidden in my bones burned away.
13:12My magic became cleaner. Sharper. Stronger.
13:15I looked at my hands.
13:17This is...
13:18A basic correction.
13:19He sounded bored.
13:21Even a hatchling could do it.
13:24I looked up slowly.
13:25If that was basic, what else can you do?
13:29Aaron smiled. Not gentle. Not kind. Dangerous.
13:33Enough to make your wolf regret being born.
13:36For the first time since my rebirth, I smiled.
13:39Good. Then teach me.
13:41Aaron looked down at me.
13:42Try to keep up.
13:46For the next few days, Aaron stayed in Winsorn House.
13:50He said he needed to recover.
13:52But somehow, I was the one when getting stronger.
13:55He corrected my magic flow with one glance.
13:58Too slow.
14:00Again.
14:01In my last life, every crystal I earned went into Fenrir.
14:06This life, my power finally belonged to me.
14:10Then Vivian came.
14:12The moment she saw Aaron, her face changed.
14:16Greed.
14:16She quickly hid it.
14:18Sarah, I heard your dragon recovered.
14:20She said softly.
14:21Then she looked at Aaron.
14:23I knew from the beginning, he was special.
14:25I almost laughed.
14:26At the ceremony, she could not wait to take Fenog.
14:30Now that Aaron had taken human form, she suddenly knew.
14:35Vivian stepped closer.
14:36If I had not yielded to you that day, perhaps he would have bonded with me.
14:42Yield.
14:43You failed to bind the wolf.
14:45You did not give me away.
14:47You were not chosen.
14:49Vivian's face went pale.
14:51But she recovered fast.
14:54Sarah, Fenrir is too powerful.
14:56My magic cannot support him yet.
14:58Could your dragon teach me the method he taught you?
15:01There it was.
15:02Fenrir became a burden.
15:04So now she wanted Aaron too.
15:05I smiled.
15:07No.
15:08Her eyes filled with tears.
15:10We are classmates.
15:11Shouldn't strong mages help weaker ones?
15:13I looked at her.
15:14Last life, I helped.
15:16I gave.
15:16I died.
15:17This life, I was done.
15:20Vivian.
15:21I already gave you what you wanted.
15:24Fenrir.
15:25If you cannot handle him, that is not my problem.
15:28Her mask cracked.
15:29You make it sound like I stole him.
15:31Before I could answer, Aaron moved.
15:33One second, he stood beside me.
15:35The next, he was in front of her.
15:37You speak too much.
15:38A golden hush swept through the courtyard.
15:41Vivian flew through the gate and fell outside Windsor House.
15:44Several students saw everything.
15:46Her perfect dress was ruined.
15:48Her perfect tears froze.
15:50Aaron turned to me.
15:52Was that acceptable?
15:53I stared at him.
15:54I wanted you to send her away.
15:56I did.
16:00And behind the trees, Fenrir stood silently.
16:03He was not looking at Vivian.
16:05He was looking at Aaron.
16:06For the first time, the Abyss Black Wolf looked uncertain.
16:10After Vivian was thrown out of Windsor House, everyone in Eldoria knew she had come for my dragon and failed
16:17again.
16:17For three days, she did not show her face.
16:21But Fenrir did.
16:22He kept appearing near my gate.
16:24Silent.
16:24Cold.
16:25Watching.
16:26Aaron noticed first.
16:28That wolf keeps staring.
16:30I looked outside.
16:32Fenrir stood beneath the trees.
16:34His black eyes were fixed on us.
16:35In my last life, I would have felt pain.
16:37Now I only felt annoyed.
16:39He is Vivian's problem now.
16:41Aaron smiled.
16:43Then she has terrible taste.
16:45That afternoon, Vivian came again.
16:48This time, she did not look at Aaron first.
16:51She looked exhausted.
16:53Her dress was still perfect, but her magic was unstable.
16:57Fenori stood behind her, restless and irritated.
17:00She said softly,
17:01Sarah, Fenrir refuses most of my commands.
17:03He consumes too much magic.
17:05I cannot even train properly.
17:07I said nothing.
17:08She bit her lip.
17:09You gave him to me.
17:11So you should help me stabilize him.
17:15There it was.
17:16Again.
17:17She wanted the reward, but not the cost.
17:21I smiled.
17:22Vivianna, I did not give you Fenrir.
17:25You reached for him yourself.
17:27Her eyes reddened.
17:28But you knew I was weak.
17:31Shouldn't you have warned me?
17:32I almost laughed.
17:34I warned you by walking away.
17:36Fenront's ears twitched.
17:38For the first time, he looked embarrassed.
17:40Vivianne lowered her voice.
17:42You are stronger than me.
17:43You have more resources.
17:45One bottle of magic essence would help.
17:47In my past life, I gave Fenrir everything.
17:50This life, not one drop.
17:51I stepped closer.
17:53No.
17:54If you want the strongest beast, feed him yourself.
17:57If you cannot afford him, return him to the academy.
17:59Her face changed.
18:00Return Fenrir?
18:01Never.
18:01Her pride would not allow it.
18:03Her ambition would not allow it.
18:04Fenrir looked at her.
18:06Waiting.
18:06Vivian forced a smile.
18:10I will manage.
18:11I nodded.
18:12Good.
18:12Then I closed the gate.
18:15Behind it, I heard Aaron chuckle.
18:17Cruel.
18:18No.
18:18I looked toward the academy.
18:20Fair.
18:21That night, Fenimic wowled outside Vivianne's residence.
18:24Not in power.
18:25In hunger.
18:26For the first time, the strongest beast in Eldonia had no one willing to feed him.
18:30Aaron trained me every morning.
18:32Not gently.
18:33Not kindly.
18:34But effectively.
18:35He changed how I breathed.
18:36How I moved magic.
18:37How I held power inside my body.
18:40Again.
18:41In three days, I improved more than I had in three months.
18:46Then Vivian found out.
18:49Of course she did.
18:50She always found the things that did not belong to her.
18:53I saw her in the garden before she saw me.
18:56She stood near Aaron.
18:57Eyes wet.
18:58Voice soft.
18:59I know Sarah is angry with me.
19:01But I never meant to hurt her.
19:04Fenlock is suffering.
19:06I am suffering too.
19:08Aaron said nothing.
19:09If you teach me the same method, I can become stronger.
19:12Vivian stepped closer.
19:13Then Fenro will not be a burden.
19:15Aaron finally looked at her.
19:17That method is not for you.
19:19Vivian froze.
19:20Why?
19:21You could not survive it.
19:23Then she smiled sadly.
19:24You sound just like Sarah.
19:26Always judging me.
19:28Always saying I am weak.
19:30I stepped out from behind the roses.
19:33Because you are.
19:34Vivian turned sharply.
19:36Sarah.
19:37I walked toward her.
19:40First you wanted Fenor.
19:42Then you wanted my dragon.
19:43Now you want my training method.
19:45What exactly do you own by yourself?
19:47Her tears came fast.
19:48Perfectly timed.
19:50You misunderstand me.
19:51I only wanted to improve.
19:53I looked at Fenor.
19:54Standing at the garden entrance.
19:56He had followed her.
19:57He had heard everything.
19:59Good.
20:00Then improve with your own beast.
20:02Fenul's expression darkened.
20:03Vivian rushed to him.
20:05Fenorik.
20:05I only did this for us.
20:07But Fenul did not look at her.
20:09He looked at Irin.
20:10At the gold in his eyes.
20:12At the calm power around him.
20:14For the first time Fenor looked less proud.
20:17And more afraid.
20:18Irin leaned toward me.
20:19Your wolf is starting to understand.
20:20He is not my wolf.
20:22I had thrown him away.
20:24And I was never picking him up again.
20:26I said it loud enough for Fenul to hear.
20:28His face changed.
20:29But at hear it.
20:30Let him learn it.
20:30Just a little.
20:31I had thrown him away.
20:32And I was never picking him up again.
20:34Vivian changed tactics.
20:36If she could not take from me directly.
20:38She would cry to the council.
20:40By sunset.
20:42The elders summoned me.
20:43Vivian stood in the council hall.
20:45With red eyes.
20:47And trembling hands.
20:48Fenul stood beside her.
20:50Silent as stone.
20:51Sarah.
20:52Vivian claims you are refusing to help stabilize Fenian.
20:56Correct.
20:57The hall fell silent.
20:58Vivian looked shocked.
21:00She had expected me to defend myself.
21:02I did not.
21:03The elder frowned.
21:05You admit it.
21:06Yes.
21:07Fenok is not my beast.
21:09He is hers.
21:12But Sarah knew I could not bind him yet.
21:15She still pushed him towards me.
21:17She wanted me to fail.
21:19I looked at her.
21:20No.
21:20I want you to have exactly what you wanted.
21:24That made the hall quiet.
21:25Erin stood behind me.
21:27Arms crossed.
21:28Clearly bored.
21:29Vivian noticed him and cried harder.
21:31She took the dragon from me too!
21:36Erin finally raised his eyes.
21:38No.
21:39Everyone turned.
21:40Erin stepped forward.
21:41I was dying.
21:42She chose me.
21:44You chose the wolf.
21:48Then failed him.
21:51That is not-
21:51You are weak.
21:53Your magic is shallow.
21:55Your will is softer than your tears.
21:58You cannot hold Fenrog.
22:01And you certainly could not have held me.
22:04The council hall went dead silent.
22:07I lowered my head to hide my smile.
22:10Vivian looked as if he had slapped her.
22:12Enough.
22:15For now, Fenrod remains under Vivian's care.
22:20But if she cannot complete the pact soon, the Academy will reconsider her.
22:26Vivian froze.
22:27Reconsider her.
22:29That word terrified her.
22:31Fenoya heard it too.
22:32His jaw tightened.
22:33For the first time, they were trapped together.
22:36Not by love.
22:38Not by loyalty.
22:40By shame.
22:41As we left the hall, Erin glanced at me.
22:43Was I polite enough?
22:45No.
22:46Good.
22:48Behind us, Vivlazar started crying again.
22:53This time, no one rushed to comfort her.
22:56Three months passed.
22:57Erin taught me ancient dragon circulation.
23:00My own crystals.
23:01My own magic.
23:02My power rose so fast, even the letters came to watch.
23:06They called it a miracle.
23:07Only I knew.
23:09I had stopped feeding a parasite.
23:11Vivian finally forced a partial pat with Fenric.
23:13Not a full soul-bound pat.
23:15Just enough to keep him at her side.
23:16Just enough to make them both miserable.
23:18Stay.
23:19Could share her magic.
23:20But there was almost nothing to share.
23:22From far away, a perfect pair.
23:23Up close, they were starving each other.
23:26One morning, the Academy held a basic compatibility test.
23:29Vivian arrived first, dressed like a princess.
23:32Fenro walking beside her.
23:34Everyone watched.
23:35She lifted her hand.
23:36Release your abyss flame.
23:38Fenro did not move.
23:39Her smile stiffened.
23:40Fen-off.
23:41Still nothing.
23:42The students began whispering.
23:45Vivian forced more magic into the pat.
23:48Black fire sparked.
23:49Then backfired.
23:51She fell to one knee.
23:52Coughing blood.
23:58Vivian is struck back by her own magic.
24:01Fenor took one step back.
24:03Not towards her.
24:04Away from her.
24:06The whole training ground froze.
24:09Then someone laughed.
24:10She still cannot control him.
24:11She wanted Fenor so badly.
24:12Now, he will not even obey.
24:14Viviana's face turned white.
24:16Then the instructor called my name.
24:19Sarah Winston.
24:21I stepped forward.
24:23Erin walked beside me, half asleep and annoyed.
24:26The instructor hesitated.
24:27Your dragon can participate?
24:31Erin opened one golden eye.
24:34No spell.
24:35No command.
24:36Just one glance.
24:37The testing crystal cracked.
24:39The training ground fell silent.
24:46Erin looked at me.
24:48Was that enough?
24:51For now.
24:54Fenron stared at us.
24:55And for the first time, there was no pride in his eyes.
25:00Only doubt.
25:02After the compatibility test, Fen God changed.
25:06He no longer stayed beside Vivian.
25:08He began appearing near me.
25:09At the training ground.
25:11Outside the library.
25:12Near Windsor House.
25:13Always silent.
25:15Always watching.
25:16Academy noticed.
25:17Viviana noticed too.
25:18Her smile became thinner every day.
25:20One evening, I found Fenrir standing outside my gate.
25:24Alone.
25:25No Vivian.
25:26No excuses.
25:27I opened the gate.
25:29What do you want?
25:31He looked at me with those same cold eyes from my last life.
25:34But this time, there was something else.
25:37Confusion.
25:38You chose that dragon to punish me.
25:40I stared at him.
25:43Then laughed.
25:44Fenori's expression darkened.
25:46I am serious.
25:47So am I.
25:48I stepped closer.
25:50You are not important enough for revenge.
25:51His face changed.
25:52You belong to me.
25:54No.
25:55I said it slowly.
25:56Last life.
25:56I believe that.
25:58This life.
25:59I know better.
26:00You will regret humiliating me.
26:03I smiled.
26:04Funny.
26:04That was your line.
26:06Last life.
26:07For one second, his eyes flickered.
26:09Too fast for anyone else to notice.
26:11But I noticed.
26:12He knew.
26:14Or at least, he remembered something.
26:17Before he could speak, Arryn appeared behind me.
26:20The air changed.
26:22Fenrir's shoulders tightened.
26:23Arryn looked him up and down.
26:25This is the wolf.
26:27I nodded.
26:29Arryn's mouth curved.
26:30He smells like regret.
26:31Fenrir growled.
26:33Arryn did not move.
26:34He did not need to.
26:35For the first time, Fenrir took a step back.
26:38Not from me.
26:39From Arryn.
26:47That night, I could not sleep.
26:50Fenrir's reaction played again and again in my mind.
26:53His words.
26:54His eyes.
26:55His fear.
26:56One thought would not leave me.
26:58What if...
26:59I was not the only one who came back?
