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.
00:17Young 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. The 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? I don't get mute signs.
01:13Insolent fool.
01:14I've killed countless before.
01:16I'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.
01:26I'm sorry.
01:52Something special.
01:55I DON'T CARE ITS WHEN I'M STABLES.
02:15The Abyssal Curse has found me.
02:18There is no escape.
02:28To regain my past prime.
02:31I 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 plan to break Mother's dying wish and stay away.
02:49But since I'm here, I'll make you all kneel and repent at my mother's grave.
03:03Silent Freak!
03:05What gives you the nerve to keep us waiting?
03:07Come here and apologize!
03:11How have you been all these years?
03:14Grandpa, why bother?
03:15He is mute.
03:15Are we keeping a maid here just to read his hands?
03:20The Queen's Banquet nears.
03:22If our coldness shames this house, none of us will escape the consequences.
03:27I...
03:29Father, please, don't be mad.
03:32Child...
03:33I know the family failed you, and your mother.
03:37But Grandpa would set things right now.
03:48You are a Malven, and you shall never wander again.
03:53Grandpa, have you lost your senses?
03:55He's a wretch who can't even chant.
03:57Keeping him will shame us all.
03:59Enough!
04:00My decision is final.
04:01Aldrich, thank your grandpa.
04:03Quickly!
04:11You threw me away like refuse.
04:13Now you call this mercy?
04:16What does he mean?
04:17He says you threw him away like refuse.
04:21Aldrich, how could you say that?
04:23Refute.
04:24At 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, that's all.
04:45Please, Master Aldrich, I'm just trying to keep my job.
04:48Not so fast.
04:50There's something you must do first.
05:01The Queen's invitation is inside.
05:03It 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 signalcasting.
05:21No chant needed.
05:22I will demonstrate only once.
05:25Watch carefully.
05:28Did you see that?
05:31Aldrich, perhaps I could explain the magical flow itself.
05:34Good lord!
05:34Even infants grasp signalcasting 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.
05:59I love him.
06:01I love him.
06:01I love him.
06:05I love him.
06:06I love him.
06:07I love him.
06:07It worked!

09:42oh
09:43oh
09:53He broke through the Thornheart curse.
09:56Aldrich, was this your true power all along?
10:05High Mage Emery?
10:09The silence curse remains incomplete, forcing this much power out,
10:13but it's still too taxing.
10:18So that power came from a High Mage after all?
10:22Exactly! He's still nothing but a useless mutt freak!
10:31Lady Emery, House Malven welcomes your arrival.
10:35So this is the mute failure you wished me to train?
10:39The Queen's invitation has been destroyed.
10:42I can take you to the banquet myself.
10:46Aldrich!
10:48I shall overlook your actions this once.
10:50Go to your room and rest.
10:52Young Master, follow me.
11:19Silence curse mutes me to forge my whore.
11:23Two more days.
11:24I will get my power back.
11:43What kind of power is this?
11:56A Supreme Maget is channeling nearby. If I continue, my mana will collapse.
12:04Master Merlin!
12:05Master Merlin!
12:05Her Majesty suffered a mana backlash. She's coughing blood!
12:22Master Merlin! Her Majesty suffered a mana backlash. She's coughing blood!
12:31Master Merlin!
12:32Heavens! I have seen such crushing power!
12:35A mana like this. From the forgotten Malvin estate.
12:39Whoever he is, he could swallow a city.
12:43How could a fallen minerhouse deserve such a master?
12:47Before him I am nothing. I dare not seek him out.
12:53I'd give up the crown for a master like that.
13:00Just one more step to refining my core.
13:03Now my voice can reach their minds.
13:14So you're the mute reject.
13:16I'm Emery.
13:17Your grandfather hired me to teach you basic magic.
13:19Only Bloodline keeps him in this house.
13:22Who does he think he is?
13:39Seven Hardest Grimmatores. Pick one. Memorize it in a day.
13:43I'll only guide you three times.
13:45Children's primals. And she calls them difficult.
13:48I am well aware your mind is empty.
13:50And you have never known such high arts, but...
13:53Shhh. Choose. Now.
14:02Magic most evil?
14:07What is this supposed to mean?
14:10Are you refusing to study any of them?
14:13All seven?
14:14Who do you think you are, a god of magic?
14:16These take decades to master, not ours.
14:23Worthless wretch. Are you mocking me? I'm a high mage of...
14:27Every spell in these seven books.
14:29I had mastered them.
14:31All by the age of three.
14:33Telepathy?
14:33Even an archmace would need decades.
14:36He is ten. How?
14:38Have you lost your voice as well?
14:40Fine, you have some talent.
14:42But mastering these at three?
14:44Absurd.
14:47Prove it.
14:49Use all that spellcraft you read in those ancient books.
14:53Jewel me.
14:58A stick?
14:59You mean to impress a high magus with that?
15:04Impossible!
15:14But what is happening?
15:15Is the earth splitting apart?
15:25No earthquake.
15:27A mage is casting powerful spell.
15:29To the courtyard, now!
15:31I'm right.
15:37Oh, I like this.
15:40It's...
15:41I like this.
15:42I like this.
15:46I like this.
15:47I like this.
15:47To the courtyard, come back here.
15:55Vots above!
15:56This power...
15:58It is incomprehensible!
16:00No!
16:02Do your worst!
16:04What the hell?
16:05Has the sky fallen?
16:10It's far beyond the Grinachors, but that's all, isn't it?
16:14You little shit!
16:20No, no, no!
16:39Aldrich!
16:53Madam Emery, what happened?
16:55Say nothing. I am not ready for them to know.
16:58It was nothing more than a demonstration.
17:01I was Madam Emery.
17:03For a moment, I thought this magicless Rhett had caused all that noise.
17:08If that is all, we shall leave you to your lesson.
17:16Alright, your magic's strong.
17:17But don't act like my ruin magic's inferior.
17:42Is that Madam Emery's true power? Magnificent!
17:45Damn.
17:47Emery's rune magic is beyond anything I have seen.
17:50No, it was not from Emery.
17:56I must see it myself.
18:03Does this mastery of the Array satisfy you?
18:07A storm trick.
18:09Nothing more.
18:23Water! Water's now!
18:33Curse it!
18:34Is Madam Emery showing off again?
18:36All this for a mute boy?
18:37Meaningless!
18:41Enough!
18:42Aldrich, stop!
18:43Your strength is far beyond my expectations.
18:46I beg you, stay your hand.
18:54Aldrich, I apologize.
18:55I have no right to be your master.
18:57But I have one request.
19:00Please, accept me as your disciple.
19:02The curse upon my tongue is not yet broken.
19:05Not yet time.
19:06Maybe.
19:09Thank you, master.
19:12I shall not fail you.
19:16Master, the Queen Victoria's banquet tomorrow.
19:19You must be there.
19:21Alderac did not fail the Highmaster.
19:23Keeping him in was a fair decision.
19:26Aldrich's talent is boundless.
19:28His power shall soon dazzle the whole of Theros.
19:32Dazzle will his name truly around after tomorrow's royal banquet.
19:41The End
19:42Chronomages.
19:43Such talent for a ten-year-old.
19:45Could it be he was never truly a mute?
19:48Record every mark.
19:50Lock it in the library's core vault.
19:51No one touch it.
19:53My lord, is it truly that valuable?
19:56More valuable than everything in our faults.
19:59Fail me, and you answer with your life.
20:01Understood, my lord.
20:13At last!
20:15The Silence Curse is shattered.
20:17Even at ten, no one could match me.
20:21Behold, Mar-La-Ghost.
20:22The Dark Dread is here.
20:32Where is Aldrich?
20:34The Queen is waiting, Grandpa.
20:36Why delay for a magicless wretch?
20:37Theros Elite will be there, Father.
20:39Bringing that rude mute will make us a laughingstock.
20:43Aldrich comes with us.
20:44That is final.
20:47The talent he has shown these past days,
20:50it is utterly terrifying.
20:51Aldrich's talent is boundless.
20:54His power shall soon dazzle the whole of Theros.
20:58If he shines before the Queen,
21:00House Malvern may rise again.
21:07All are present.
21:08Set forth to the Royal Palace.
21:17The Royal Palace will see what House Malvern discarded.
21:24Kaelin, all the great houses are here tonight.
21:26This is your chance to honor the Malverns.
21:30Seize it.
21:31I will, Father.
21:32I've waited years.
21:34Tonight, I will show them House Malvern has a true prodigy.
21:41Aldrich, your cousin Kaelin will surely impress the Queen tonight
21:44and receive her favor.
21:45Just stay humble and serve him.
21:47He'll go easy on you.
21:48I bow to no one and I follow no man.
21:51How can you be so stubborn?
21:53I am only trying to protect...
21:55You spoke.
21:58What are you doing?
21:59You'll know soon enough.
22:04Seriously, M-Ray?
22:05A ten-year-old Mastodarts even you cannot rival?
22:09A mute child who can't chant?
22:11Impossible.
22:12Presenting, the Noble House of Malvern.
22:15If you doubt my eyes, come.
22:17Witness the miracle of this millennium for yourselves.
22:20Then let us see what this boy truly is.
22:25The petty Malverns?
22:26Why would three high mages greet a minor house?
22:30It must be for Kaelin.
22:32They say he has some talent.
22:35Kaelin?
22:36He's a mere pretender not worthy of their gaze.
22:50Kaelin, look.
22:51Three high mages.
22:52All of Theris must know your name.
22:55My son!
22:56You have brought glory to us!
22:58Missing only Her Majesty!
23:00They came from me.
23:09Master Merlin, what troubles you?
23:12Your Majesty, the mana is shifting.
23:15The Grand Archmist is near.
23:18Truly?
23:18Then we must hasten.
23:20I must see myself.
23:21You honor our name today, Masters,
23:24by coming to receive us in person.
23:26Just as I thought.
23:27They are all here for me.
23:33What is the meaning of this?
23:35They were not here for Kaelin.
23:38Here he comes.
23:46Such an oppressive Herrera.
23:50We have awaited your arrival.
23:52Aldric, these the exiled kin of House Malwin.
23:55Three high mages gathered to welcome a mute ret.
23:57Pure madness.
23:59Your Majesty.
24:02Aldric, on your knees.
24:04Do not be insolent.
24:08We're doomed.
24:09This mute wretch is getting us all executed.
24:11Bringing him was a goddamn mistake.
24:13He has ruined us all.
24:15He has ruined us all.
24:29So you're Queen Victoria.
24:32I
