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