Short filmTranscript
00:10If someone had told me that getting Isheroned into a novel could actually happen, I would have sent them to
00:14a psychiatrist.
00:15A blind date? Didn't I tell her I wasn't interested?
00:20In a world of shadows and lies, and is thrust into an epic battle for the fate of the world.
00:25Hey, I need you to finish this before you go home.
00:44Oh, you have got to be kidding me!
00:56I was a 150 year old witch living in this forest.
01:00I'd nearly died from eating a poisonous plant, and now, someone from another world was wearing my skin.
01:07My name is Serafina, and apparently, I live here now.
01:11Two years since I woke up in this world, I'd built a life here.
01:15Sold potions to the nearby town, tended my garden, and mostly kept to myself.
01:21Witches aren't exactly popular in Vessia.
01:24Guess there's more to this forest than I thought.
01:35Guess there's more to this forest than I thought.
01:53A child?
01:55Shield? What are you doing?
01:59Shield!
02:00Show yourself!
02:04Give me the boy!
02:06Not happening, purify!
02:07Give me the boy!
02:08Give me the boy!
02:34Do you want water or tea?
02:46Go ahead and eat.
02:50Whoa!
02:50Take it easy!
02:51I won't take your food away.
02:53There's plenty more.
02:55Drink this.
02:55It'll help your throat.
03:10It's a good thing.
03:23Dry off with this towel.
03:33Did you get in?
03:35I have a shirt.
03:37Are you okay?
03:47Sorry.
03:48Did I hurt you?
03:52Put this on when you're done.
03:54Great idea, Sarah.
03:56Make the scared child even more terrified of you.
04:01I'll get proper clothes for you tomorrow.
04:03Do you have any family?
04:04Would you like to stay here?
04:06I mean, unless you'd prefer an orphanage or a church.
04:09Then will you let me see your neck?
04:15What's your name?
04:17My name is Damien.
04:20Damien.
04:21I like it.
04:22Welcome home.
04:26I've never met anyone like her.
04:31No fear in her eyes.
04:34No disgust.
04:37This should be interesting.
05:02Release!
05:03I'm so sorry.
05:04I should have made sure you could leave freely.
05:07What were you doing?
05:12Were you trying to draw water?
05:14You don't need the well.
05:16This is a faucet.
05:17Mealtimes.
05:18Her study is off limits without her.
05:20And always tell her before leaving at night.
05:22Yes, Master.
05:24You don't have to call me Master.
05:26Serafina or Sela is fine.
05:31Serafina, are you okay?
05:35Perfectly fine.
05:36Eat up.
05:39I need you to come take measurements of a child.
05:42A child?
05:43I do not recall you mentioning having a mate and being impregnated.
05:46Nyx!
05:47No, I found him!
05:49I shall arrive in 15 minutes.
05:56What color do you like, boy?
06:03Silver.
06:07I am surprised, Master.
06:08Taking in a human boy, you do not let anyone close to you.
06:11You do not even have a familiar.
06:12That is dangerous for a witch.
06:14I can protect myself, Nyx.
06:16You are powerful, but you are not invulnerable.
06:18And a witch without a familiar is like a ship without a rudder.
06:21I have never needed a familiar before, and I do not need one now.
06:25You are my savior.
06:26I wish to see you live a long life.
06:31How old are you, Damien?
06:34Twelve.
06:37What?
06:40Sorry.
06:41You have nothing to apologize for.
06:43None of this is your fault.
06:50Sera!
06:51It's okay.
06:53She's not hurting me.
06:55In the novel, Damien has an aura that either makes creatures submit or become hostile.
07:01The chickens aren't affected because, well, they're chickens.
07:06Every day, check for eggs.
07:08Clean the coop.
07:08Fresh water twice, two cups of feet at noon.
07:11I am sorry.
07:22What is that, Sera?
07:24Sarah?
07:25My barrier.
07:26Keeps unwanted things out.
07:28I check it every few days.
07:30You're strange.
07:32Aren't witches supposed to be cruel?
07:35Some are.
07:37Witches are like anyone else.
07:39Some good, some bad, some a bit of both.
07:43I see.
07:44Damien is possessive.
07:46Not just of his future soulmate, but on anyone he claims as his.
07:50Good news, he won't randomly kill me.
07:53Bad news, my plan to send him off on his Emperor journey might get... complicated.
08:00Looks delicious.
08:02This is one of my favorites.
08:10Hey, Sera.
08:12Why don't you have a familiar?
08:19You don't have to tell me.
08:22No.
08:23It's okay.
08:27His name was Finn.
08:31A shapeshifter.
08:33He preferred being a cat.
08:36We were together for 70 years.
08:39He was a pain.
08:40Always nagging.
08:41But he was my best friend.
08:43When I was escaping a country that persecuted witches, he protected me.
08:47Died in my place.
08:48After that, I couldn't bring myself to sign another contract.
08:51Felt like replacing him.
08:52It's been 65 years now.
08:54Thanks, Damien.
08:56I've never talked about Finn to anyone.
09:00Sorry, Sera.
09:02I didn't mean to make you cry.
09:06Everyone needs to cry sometimes.
09:08I'll be at the apothetary.
09:10The bookstore is down the block.
09:12You've already read everything at home.
09:15Use that for anything you like.
09:23Miss Serafita.
09:25Beautiful as always.
09:27Hello, Edgar.
09:28Been well?
09:37Damien!
09:39Ooh!
09:40You're a beauty!
09:41How about we let your little brother go and have some fun?
09:44Not a chance.
09:45I don't date men who hit children.
09:49Are you okay?
09:51I'm fine.
09:52Are you?
09:55Who said you could leave?
09:57What's going on here?
10:01Is the boy alright?
10:03Yes.
10:04Thank you, Captain Rhea.
10:06Captain Rhea, this is Damien.
10:09Damien, she guards this town.
10:11While I don't think leaving a boy with a witch is wise, he seems willing to stay.
10:17I have no objections.
10:21Thank you, Rhea.
10:24Captain Rhea, will you teach me swordmanship?
10:30Why?
10:31I need to become stronger.
10:33I'm a tough master.
10:35I won't care that you're a child.
10:39That won't be a problem.
10:49Well, that was easy.
10:51Predictable.
10:52You win the bet.
10:55Idiots.
10:56They'll be flogged.
10:59I was angry.
11:01Angry that I was too weak.
11:03That someone touched her.
11:05That she had to protect me.
11:08I need to become stronger.
11:10For her.
11:16Is this the last dish?
11:18It is, Master.
11:29What are you doing out here?
11:31Waiting for you.
11:34I have a surprise for you.
11:36One.
11:38Two.
11:39Three.
11:44You did this for me?
11:46You said you didn't know your real birthday.
11:49So I'm using the day we met.
11:51There's no way I wouldn't like it.
11:54It has a protection spell.
11:55It'll keep you safe when I'm not around.
11:58I'll never take it off.
12:01I'll never take it off.
12:07She doesn't know what she's done.
12:09In this world, a witch giving a protective charm infused with her own magic
12:13is essentially marking someone as hers.
12:25I wonder if she'd be embarrassed if she knew.
12:31According to the novel, the witch dies when Damien is around 15, killed in a demon attack.
12:36That gives me roughly two and a half years.
12:39I need a plan.
12:41I refuse to die, according to some plot.
12:45Reserve purification spells.
12:47I have modern knowledge, 150 years of witch experience, and sheer stubbornness.
12:52That demon doesn't stand a chance.
13:38You learn too quickly.
13:40It's unnatural.
13:41Is that a compliment?
13:43It's an observation.
13:44The witch, does she know what you are?
13:47I told you not to interfere.
13:49I'm not interfering.
13:49I'm asking if you're being honest with the person who saved your life.
13:53She deserves to know, boy.
13:55Before it's too late.
14:07What?
14:12Show yourself.
14:26A demon scout.
14:28They're watching.
14:29Testing the barrier's strength.
14:32In the novel, the demon attack doesn't happen for another two years.
14:36But scout's appearing this early.
14:40Hugh, my might are on Steli's.
14:43The coer sobs.
14:48I need more time.
14:51Something wrong?
14:53Nothing.
14:54Just routine maintenance.
14:55Go to bed, Damien.
14:56You're lying.
14:58There was something at the barrier.
14:59Probably just a wandering creature.
15:01I reinforced it.
15:02We're safe.
15:03If we're not safe, tell me.
15:04I will.
15:05I promise.
15:08Your boy's got a head for business, Miss Serafina.
15:11You don't guess we know it's Sillen?
15:13He's better at math than I am.
15:18These healing potions.
15:20They're remarkably pure.
15:21Who is your supplier?
15:23I make them myself.
15:25I represent the Thornwheel Trading Company.
15:28We'd pay handsomely for exclusive supply rights.
15:31I appreciate the offer, but I prefer to sell locally.
15:34Everyone has a price, my dear.
15:44She said no.
15:48He was disrespectful.
15:50What am I going to do with you?
15:52That merchant worried me.
15:54Not because of the offer, but because attention from trading companies means attention from nobles.
15:58And attention from nobles means attention from people who might recognize what Damien is.
16:03He has grown significantly, Master.
16:08Both physically and otherwise.
16:15Master, I encountered demon scent in the eastern forest.
16:19Multiple trails.
16:20They are circling your territory.
16:22How many?
16:24At least five different scents.
16:26And one was very old.
16:29Very powerful.
16:31You, what mice feel be?
16:32You know what they want?
16:34Let me stay.
16:35I can help defend.
16:37If they find you here, they'll target your home too.
16:40I won't put you in danger.
16:42And I will not watch my savior die.
16:49I'm not going to die, Nyx.
16:52What were you talking about?
16:54Girl stuff.
16:57Menstruation.
16:58Nyx!
17:01That was effective.
17:08Every powerful defense spell needs a familiar.
17:11Of course it does.
17:15A soul contract is different from a familiar bond.
17:19It's deeper.
17:21Permanent.
17:22Both parties share strength, pain, and...
17:26Lifespan.
17:28Absolutely not.
17:29I am not binding anyone's soul to mine.
17:36Can't sleep?
17:38Just studying.
17:39What about you?
17:42Sarah, I want to learn magic.
17:44Magic?
17:46But you're training in swordmenstry.
17:48I want both.
17:49Captain Rhea says a true warrior uses every tool available.
17:53All right.
17:54We start tomorrow.
17:55But magic is dangerous, Damien.
17:58You follow my instructions exactly.
18:00Yes, Sarah.
18:01Magic is about intent.
18:03You need a clear image of what you want.
18:06You need a clear image of what you want.
18:06The words help focus that image.
18:08Understand?
18:11Understood.
18:13Start simple.
18:14Hold out your hand and say light.
18:16Light.
18:19Light.
18:26Less intense, less.
18:28Less intense, less.
18:32Okay.
18:33So, you have a lot of magical power.
18:37We need to work on control.
18:40Was that bad?
18:42That was the magical equivalent of trying to light a candle with a volcano.
18:46Let's try again, gently this time.
18:52Perfect.
19:05You've surpassed what I can teach with a sword.
19:07You know that.
19:09There's always more to learn.
19:13Don't flatter me, boy.
19:15I have something to tell you.
19:16When I served as a royal knight, I guarded the Imperial Archives.
19:20I read the prophecy.
19:22The one about the future Emperor who would unite Vessia.
19:25Born under a dying star, forged in suffering.
19:27The child of no nation shall claim all nations.
19:30That's you.
19:32I know what I am.
19:34Then you know you can't stay in this forest forever.
19:36The world needs its Emperor.
19:40And staying here puts Seraphina in danger.
19:42Leaving puts her in more danger.
19:45The demons are already circling.
19:47You know about the Scouts?
19:49I say we should back at the forehand.
19:52I've known since before she did.
19:54I can sense them.
19:56I won't leave until I can guarantee her safety.
20:00That's not negotiable.
20:01You care about her that much?
20:04She's the only person who ever treated me like I mattered.
20:08I will burn this world to the ground before I let anything happen to her.
20:208, 12, 20.
20:31Little witch, you harbor what belongs to us.
20:39Nothing here belongs to you.
20:42The boy carries the blood of the one who sealed our king.
20:47We will have him.
20:49And we will enjoy breaking you first.
20:54I heard it too.
21:07Sarah, look at me.
21:11I won't let them touch you.
21:13You're 14, Damien.
21:14You shouldn't have to...
21:16Age doesn't matter.
21:17Strength does.
21:18And I am strong enough.
21:20You saved me.
21:21Let me save you back.
21:45I will not argue this time, Master.
21:49I am staying.
21:51I will not argue this time, Master.
21:55I didn't bring them for you.
21:56I brought them because I'm bored.
22:04The main barrier will hold against lesser demons.
22:07But Malakon, the one leading them, is ancient.
22:10If he attacks directly, the barrier won't last more than an hour.
22:13Then we need to take the fight to him before that.
22:17I'll face Malakon.
22:18Absolutely not.
22:22I'm the one he wants.
22:25And I'm the only one with enough power to match him.
22:28Then I'm fighting beside you.
22:30Sarah.
22:31That's not negotiable.
22:33Hey, Finn.
22:37Things are about to get interesting.
22:40Interesting.
22:44Wish you were here to nag me about my terrible planning.
22:56Sarah.
22:57There's something I need to tell you.
22:59What is it?
23:00I know what I am.
23:01The prophecy.
23:02The Emperor.
23:03I've always known.
23:04How long have you known that I know?
23:07Since the day you gave me the pendant and your hands were shaking.
23:11I thought I was being so subtle.
23:14You were not.
23:16I should tell you something, too.
23:17I...
23:18I'm not originally from this world.
23:20I have memories of another life.
23:21And in that life, I read a story.
23:23Your story.
23:24But you didn't torture me.
23:25You fed me.
23:25In it, the witch who takes you in.
23:27She's cruel.
23:28She tortures you.
23:29Healed me.
23:29And she dies.
23:30Gave me a home.
23:31Trying to change the ending, Damien.
23:33But I'm scared that I can't.
23:34Then we change it together.
23:43It's starting.
23:44Everyone, to positions.
23:55Hold the line.
24:12There's too many.
24:13Purify.
24:15Wave.
24:29Don't overdo it.
24:31I'm fine.
24:32Watch your back.
24:38Little witch.
24:39Little emperor.
24:41How touching.
24:42Standing together against the inevitable.
24:44You talk too much for something that's about to die.
24:47Die?
24:47I have lived for millennia.
24:49I watched your predecessors fall.
24:51What makes you different?
24:53I am.
24:54I am.
25:00Strong.
25:01But not enough.
25:06Perhaps breaking your witch will motivate you.
25:12Sarah.
25:18That power.
25:19Impossible.
25:20The seal shouldn't be broken yet.
25:22You... touched... her.
25:32So this... is the true emperor.
25:45You'll burn yourself out, boy! This power will destroy your body!
25:50Damien, stop! You'll kill yourself!
26:00Damien, take my hand!
26:10Sarah, what did you do?
26:12Something stupid. Now let's finish this together.
26:18A soul contract! You fool! You've bound yourself to a mortal witch!
26:25She's not just a witch. She's mine. And I'm hers.
26:30Damien, on my signal.
26:33Now, purify!
26:35Judgement!
26:37No! I will not fall to...
26:40This is not the end.
26:42The end.
26:51We did it.
26:52We actually did it.
26:55I changed the ending.
26:57The end.
26:58The end.
26:58The end.
27:14The end.
27:15The end.
27:16Don't move.
