00:10If someone had told me that getting Isharoned into a novel could actually happen, I would have sent them to
00:15a psychiatrist.
00:16A blind date? Didn't I tell her I wasn't interested?
00:21In 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.
00:43You have got to be...
00:52Oh, you have got to be kidding me!
00:57I was a 150-year-old witch living in this forest. I'd nearly died from eating a poisonous plant. And
01:04now, someone from another world was wearing my skin.
01:07My name is Serafina. And apparently, I live here now.
01:12Two years since I woke up in this world. I'd built a life here. Sold potions to the nearby town,
01:18tended my garden, and mostly kept to myself.
01:22Witches aren't exactly popular in Vessia. Guess there's more to this forest than I thought.
01:35Guess there's more to this forest than I thought.
01:54A child? What are you doing?
01:59Serafina.
02:01Show yourself!
02:05Give me the boy!
02:06Not happening. Purify!
02:08Give me the boy!
02:11Now then, what to do with you?
02:12Wait! It's okay. I'm not going to harm you.
02:14I won't touch you. Why don't you come with me? Are you hungry?
02:17Come, follow me.
02:35Do you want water or tea?
02:47Go ahead and eat.
02:50Whoa! Take it easy. I won't take your food away. There's plenty more.
02:55Drink this. It'll help your throat.
03:02My name is Serafina. This is my home. You can stay here for the night if you like.
03:07However, if you're staying, you need to be clean.
03:10Find the right mix of hot and cold. Use the soap for your body and hair.
03:23Dry off with this towel.
03:34Did you get in? I have a shirt.
03:38Are you okay?
03:48Sorry. Did I hurt you?
03:53Put this on when you're done.
03:55Great idea, Sera. Make the scared child even more terrified of you.
04:01I'll get proper clothes for you tomorrow.
04:03Do you have any family? Would you like to stay here?
04:07I mean unless you'd prefer an orphanage or a church.
04:09Then will you let me see your neck?
04:16What's your name?
04:18My name is Damien.
04:20Damien. I like it.
04:26I've never met anyone like her.
04:31No fear in her eyes.
04:34No disgust.
04:37This should be interesting.
04:58I'm so sorry.
05:05I should have made sure you could leave freely.
05:07What were you doing?
05:12Were you trying to draw water?
05:15You don't need the well.
05:16This is a faucet.
05:18Mealtimes.
05:19Her study is off limits without her.
05:20And always tell her before leaving at night.
05:23Yes, Master.
05:24You don't have to call me Master.
05:26Serafina or Sela is fine.
05:31Sarah? Are you okay?
05:35Perfectly fine. Eat up.
05:40I need you to come take measurements of a child.
05:43A child?
05:44I do not recall you mentioning having a mate and being impregnated.
05:47Nyx!
05:47Nyx! No, I found him!
05:49I shall arrive in 15 minutes.
05:57What color do you like, boy?
06:03Silver.
06:07I am surprised, Master.
06:09Taking in a human boy.
06:10You do not let anyone close to you.
06:12You do not even have a familiar.
06:13That is dangerous for a witch.
06:14I can protect myself, Nyx.
06:16You are powerful, but you are not invulnerable.
06:19And a witch without a familiar is like a ship without a rudder.
06:21I have never needed a familiar before.
06:23And I do not need one now.
06:25You are my savior.
06:27I wish to see you live a long life.
06:32How old are you, Damien?
06:34Twelve.
06:37What?
06:40Sorry.
06:41You have nothing to apologize for.
06:44None of this is your fault.
06:50Sarah!
06:52It's okay.
06:53She's not hurting me.
06:56In the novel, Damien has an aura that either makes creatures submit or become hostile.
07:02The chickens aren't affected because, well, they're chickens.
07:06Every day, check for eggs.
07:08Clean the coop.
07:09Fresh water twice, two cups of feet at noon.
07:11I'm sorry, Sarah.
07:23What is that, Sarah?
07:24Sarah?
07:26My barrier.
07:27Keeps unwanted things out.
07:29I check it every few days.
07:31You're strange.
07:33Aren'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.
07:45Damien is possessive.
07:47Not just of his future soulmate, but on anyone he claims as his.
07:51Good news, he won't randomly kill me.
07:54Bad news, my plan to send him off on his emperor journey might get complicated.
08:01Looks delicious.
08:02This is one of my favorites.
08:11Hey, Sarah.
08:12Why don't you have a familiar?
08:19You don't have to tell me.
08:22No, it's okay.
08:28His name was Finn.
08:29Finn.
08:31A shapeshifter.
08:33He preferred being a cat.
08:37We were together for 70 years.
08:39He was a pain.
08:41Always nagging.
08:42But 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.
08:53It's been 65 years now.
08:55Thanks, Damien.
08:56I've never talked about Finn to anyone.
09:00Sorry, Sarah.
09:02I didn't mean to make you cry.
09:06Everyone needs to cry sometimes.
09:08I'll be at the apothetary.
09:11The bookstore is down the block.
09:13You've already read everything at home.
09:16Use that for anything you like.
09:24Miss Serafita.
09:25Beautiful as always.
09:27Hello, Edgar.
09:29Been well?
09:37Damien!
09:39Ooh, you're a beauty.
09:41How about we let your little brother go and have some fun?
09:45Not a chance.
09:46I don't date men who hit children.
09:50Are you okay?
09:51I'm fine.
09:52Are you?
09:56Who said you could leave?
09:57What's going on here?
10:02Is the boy all right?
10:03Yes.
10:05Thank you, Captain Rhea.
10:07Captain Rhea.
10:08This is Damien.
10:10Damien.
10:11She guards this town.
10:12While I don't think leaving a boy with a witch is wise.
10:16He seems willing to stay.
10:18I have no objections.
10:22Thank you, Rhea.
10:24Captain Rhea.
10:26Will you teach me swordmanship?
10:31I need to become stronger.
10:34I'm a tough master.
10:36I won't care that you're a child.
10:39That won't be a problem.
10:50Well, that was easy.
10:52Predictable.
10:53You win the bet.
10:55Idiots.
10:56They'll be flogged.
11:00I was angry.
11:02Angry that I was too weak.
11:03That someone touched her.
11:05That she had to protect me.
11:08I need to become stronger.
11:11For her.
11:17Is this the last dish?
11:19It is, Master.
11:22Master.
11:30What are you doing out here?
11:32Waiting for you.
11:34I have a surprise for you.
11:37One.
11:38Two.
11:40Three.
11:45You did this for me?
11:47You said you didn't know your real birthday.
11:49So I'm using the day we met.
11:52There's no way I wouldn't like it.
11:54It has a protection spell.
11:56It'll keep you safe when I'm not around.
11:58I'll never take it off.
12:08She doesn't know what she's done.
12:09In this world, a witch giving a protective charm infused with her own magic
12:14is essentially marking someone as hers.
12:26I wonder if she'd be embarrassed if she knew.
12:31According to the novel,
12:33the witch dies when Damien is around 15,
12:35killed in a demon attack.
12:37That gives me roughly two and a half years.
12:40I need a plan.
12:41I refuse to die, according to some plot.
12:45Reserve purification spells.
12:47I have modern knowledge,
12:49150 years of witch experience,
12:51and sheer stubbornness.
12:53That demon doesn't stand a chance.
13:00Ah.
13:02Okay.
13:04Um,
13:05uh,
13:06uh,
13:08um,
13:18uh,
13:38you learn too quickly it's unnatural is that a compliment it's an observation
13:45the witch does she know what you are i told you not to interfere i'm not interfering i'm asking
13:51if you're being honest with the person who saved your life she deserves to know boy before it's too
13:56late what show yourself
14:26a demon scout they're watching testing the barrier strength in the novel the demon attack
14:34doesn't happen for another two years but scouts appearing this early
14:40you my might are on stelly's the coer sobs
14:49i need more time something wrong nothing just routine maintenance go to bed damien you're lying
14:58there was something at the barrier probably just a wandering creature
15:01i reinforced it we're safe if we're not safe tell me i will i promise
15:08your boy's got a head for business miss seraphina you don't guess we know in sailen
15:13he's better at math than i am
15:18these healing potions they're remarkably pure who is your supplier
15:23i make them myself i represent the thornwill trading company we'd pay handsomely for exclusive
15:30supply rights i appreciate the offer but i prefer to sell locally everyone has a price my dear
15:44she said no
15:48he was disrespectful
15:51what am i going to do with you
15:52that merchant worried me
15:54not because of the offer
15:56but because attention from trading companies means attention from nobles
15:59and attention from nobles means attention from people who might recognize what damien is
16:04he has grown significantly master
16:08both physically and otherwise
16:16master
16:16i encountered demon scent in the eastern forest
16:20multiple trails they are circling your territory
16:23how many
16:24at least five different scents
16:26and one
16:28was very old
16:29very powerful
16:31you what mice will be
16:33you know what they want
16:34let me stay
16:35i can help defend

16:39they'll target your home too
16:41i won't put you in danger
16:42and i will not watch my savior die
16:49i'm not going to die nix
16:53what were you talking about
16:55girl stuff
16:57menstruation
16:58knacks
17:02that was effective
17:09every powerful defense spell needs a familiar
17:11of course it does
17:16a 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
17:37can't sleep
