Short filmTranscript
00:02Two hundred gold coins. Shut up and get out.
00:09Thanks. We're square now. I'll see myself out.
00:14Six years as Victoria's punching bag, her little trained dog, all for my sister's anti-venom.
00:20She was obsessed with making me into Elliot's mirror image.
00:24Sent me up a cliff in a blizzard to pick some damn flower.
00:28Nearly snapped both my legs, threw me at three beasts.
00:34Came back torn to shreds.
00:39And now the real Elliot's back, I'm out with the trash.
00:44That was fast.
00:48Not even gonna beg me to let you stay? I figured you'd be on your knees by now.
00:53I do what I'm told, Lady Victoria.
01:00Two hundred coins and you just take it?
01:04Wow. I gave you way too much credit.
01:07And the clothes I had made for you?
01:09Leave them. Every last piece.
01:12I had them tailored to make you look like Elliot.
01:14I'd rather set them on fire than let you keep a single one.
01:27Got it.
01:32He actually left? Who does he think he is?
01:35No guild in this city would dare take him after he walked out on the Ashford's.
01:40His sister's anti-venom. Who does he think's been paying for that?
01:45The pocket change he scrapes together killing bottom-label beasts.
01:49He'll come crawling back.
02:03Wanna check it? Not much in here.
02:04No need. You wouldn't dare.
02:09Kale, nothing else you wanna say? No last words? Maybe beg me to keep you?
02:16What do you want to hear? That I can't live without you? That I'm begging you to let me stay?
02:21Like I care. Stay out of my sight.
02:26Rest easy, Lady Victoria. These six years, I'll act like none of it ever happened. We're just strangers.
02:31Walk out that door, Kale. Don't you dare come crawling back. Because I won't make it easy.
02:37Fine.
02:47Six years in chains. Finally free.
03:02Piece of junk.
03:04Victoria had some silversmith engrave Elliot Winston's initials on the inside.
03:09She pierced my ear herself with a silver needle.
03:11Said it'd make me look more like him.
03:13Then I got infected. Couldn't sleep for days.
03:16She called it a dog's collar.
03:18She told me I was never allowed to take it off.
03:25Finally.
03:26Free.
03:42Victoria, what's wrong? You seem off. Did you really cut Kale loose?
03:49Yeah.
03:51Elliot's back.
03:53So I told him to pack up.
03:57And he just...
03:59Left?
04:00Six years together and you feel nothing?
04:05The real thing's home. Why would I keep the knock off?
04:10What'd he say when he left?
04:12Nothing.
04:13Did exactly what he was told.
04:14I tossed him 200 gold on the way out.
04:16Only 200?
04:18With how devoted that guy was, I figured he'd lose his mind trying to stay.
04:21Watch.
04:21He'll crack by tomorrow.
04:23Actually, forget tomorrow.
04:24Send him a message right now.
04:25Tell him to come pick you up.
04:27Bet he shows up in five minutes.
04:29Ugh.
04:30Forget him. Kills my mood.
04:33Let's talk about Elliot.
04:34If Elliot found out I kept a shadow around for six years, what would he think?
04:40If Elliot found out I kept a shadow around for six years, what would he think?
04:45Aren't you worried he'd be pissed?
04:47I'd rather he finds out.
04:50I'll use Kale to see how he reacts.
05:00Ugh, my stomach. It's killing me.
05:06Kale! What are you doing? Get my oatmeal ready!
05:11Right. He's gone.
05:20Again with the drinking. Come on, eat this before your stomach acts up.
05:23Yeah, yeah.
05:29Can't even handle this without you now?
05:38So, that rich girl from the merchant house, what happened?
05:46Contract's done.
05:50Good.
05:52You always came back beat up.
05:56Your ear...
05:57It's nothing.
05:59Healing up.
06:00You just focus on getting better.
06:05This room...
06:07We can't stay much longer, can we?
06:10The holy light apothetary only takes patients referred by the merchant house.
06:16I get it.
06:17I'll find a regular apothetary tomorrow.
06:19It'll be fine.
06:21Yeah.
06:23Maybe in a little while the venom will be gone for good.
06:25And I can finally get out of this stupid bed.
06:29Yeah.
06:29Yeah.
06:30You will.
06:32I'm gonna get some fresh air.
06:41Kale, reminder from the Stonehammer Guild, your annual mission quota is incomplete.
06:46Report to the guild house within three days, or your deposit will be forfeited.
07:00Elliot!
07:01You just got back.
07:02I made all your favorites.
07:04You still remember what I like?
07:07That's sweet.
07:08How could I forget?
07:10Especially that night you saved me from that wild dog.
07:13I still don't get why you had to leave for the royal city.
07:16We have a perfectly good academy right here.
07:18Oh, that?
07:19Honestly, I barely remember.
07:20But wow.
07:21You've changed.
07:22Changed how?
07:23Prettier.
07:24More refined.
07:25Actually, you're starting to remind me of your sister, Cecilia.
07:27Must be in the genes.
07:28Cecilia again.
07:29Why does everyone have to bring her up?
07:32Oh.
07:33Did you know your sister's back in Blackstone?
07:35I was hoping to travel with her, but...
07:38She moves fast.
07:38She is already a gold-rank hunter.
07:41No, and I don't care.
07:42Elliot, can we not talk about her?
07:46My birthday's this weekend.
07:47Family's throwing a party.
07:49You have to come.
07:51I wouldn't miss it.
08:01Baby, when are you coming home?
08:05Soon.
08:15Sorry about that.
08:16Just some girl from the academy.
08:18Didn't think she'd call.
08:19Long-distance transmissions aren't cheap.
08:21It's fine.
08:22Whatever.
08:22Let's just eat.
08:24Actually, it's getting late.
08:25I've still got things to take care of.
08:27We'll catch up at the party.
08:29Oh.
08:30Make sure you invite your sister, Cecilia.
08:33We'll catch up at the party.
08:37I can't see her.
08:40I can't see her.
08:44I can't see her.
08:46If she's coming home.
08:50We can't see her.

22:34professor i have a favor to ask my birthday celebration is coming up would you be able to
22:39pass along an invitation to master vizness i've admired his work for a long time avifeyan
22:44bold of you but i'll ask if he says yes count yourself blessed yes once i have avaladium on

22:57formulas are mine this whole family dances to my tune if i pull this off cecilia will finally notice me
23:02and maybe i can make her mine
23:04i have a student named elliot decent talent
23:34He's hosting a birthday celebration in Blackstone and would be honored by your presence.
23:40He'll prepare a generous tribute.
23:44Sure. Your student, my grand student. I'll drop by.
23:49Thank you, Master!
23:53Avafina? The author of the Extraordinary Elixirs?
23:57The book that every alchemist alive swears by?
24:04That's me.
24:07But you spent six years under Victoria's thumb?
24:10My sister's venom. Regular antidotes only suppress it. There's no cure.
24:15So every night I'd stay up reading, testing, failing.
24:21I went through every old text in Blackstone, ran my own experiments.
24:25Six years, hundreds of failed formulas. The ones that worked, I put them all in that book.
24:31I knew I picked the right man. My husband is the greatest alchemist alive.
24:36And Victoria had him right under her nose for six years without a clue. What an idiot.
24:42She only had eyes for Elliot. I was just a shadow.
24:47Kale, why'd you agree to go to his party? After what they put you through? Doesn't it make you sick?
24:53It does. But regular suppressors can't cure my sister for good.
24:59I've been tracking down three rare herbs that could actually eliminate the venom.
25:04And I finally got a lead. I can't miss this chance.
25:09Got it. Then we're going together.
25:16Elliot, good news. Master Avikaina agreed to attend. He's already in Blackstone.
25:22I'll deliver the invitation personally. For now, he doesn't want to be disturbed by anyone else.
25:30Victoria! It's happening! Avifazor said yes!
25:37Yes!
25:39Professor confirmed it. The Master's right here in Blackstone.
25:43Once I have Avikina behind me, no one will ever underestimate me again.
25:48Kale's gonna come crawling back, begging me to take him in.
25:51And I'll make sure he knows how stupid he was to leave.
26:03My head is killing me. Elliot, go make me some hangover soup.
26:08Hangover soup? I don't know how to make that.
26:17The ingredients are in the kitchen. My head's splitting.
26:21Fine, fine. Wait here.
26:32Here. Drink.
26:42What the hell is this? It's disgusting!
26:46That's what hangover soup tastes like. Deal with it.
26:51Deal with it?
26:53Hmph.
26:54I went to the Royal Academy.
26:56I didn't go through all that to play house servant.
27:03Again with the drinking. Come on, eat this before your stomach acts up.
27:12Added some honey. Won't be bitter.
27:14I'll warm up some milk after.
27:16Helps your stomach before bed.
27:22Kale's soup...
27:23was never hard to drink.
27:28Excuse me?
27:30You're comparing me to a shadow?
27:32Are you out of your mind?
27:34A shadow?
27:37A dog you paid to sit and stay!
27:44And you're putting him above me?
27:47That's not what I...
27:50If he's so great, go find him.
27:53Let him bring you tea.
27:55Make your soup.
27:57That's all he's good for.
27:58Servant work.
28:03You...
28:04A nobody who can't even pass a bronze exam?
28:07Is that who you want?
28:12Elliot!
28:13That came out wrong!
28:14I swear I didn't mean it!
28:16Don't go!
28:18Whatever.
28:19Get some rest. I'm leaving.
28:23Oh.
28:24Don't forget to invite Cecilia to the party.
28:31Again with her! Even you!
28:33It's always about her!
28:36Cecilia.
28:37I'm done being being second.
28:40Avaphia is my trumpard.
28:53Victoria! You made it!
28:56You look stunning tonight!
28:58Happy birthday, Elliot!
29:02Where's your sister?
29:03She didn't come with you?
29:04Did you even tell her?
29:07I walk in and the first thing you ask about is her.
29:10Did you invite me or her?
29:13Don't read into it.
29:14We're all gonna be family.
29:16Getting along with your sister just...
29:18makes sense.
29:19She should be on her way.
29:24Is that...
29:25the gold rank hunter Cecilia?
29:33He's here too?
29:40Oh my god, who's the guy with her?
29:42He's gorgeous.
29:52Cecilia! So glad you could make it!
30:00And this is...
30:02I don't think we've met.
30:05Of course you haven't.
30:07That's the shadow I used to keep.
30:09Can't even pass a bronze exam.
30:13Didn't think you'd have the nerve to show up.
30:17Everyone here is somebody?
30:21Don't you feel pathetic?
30:23Easy, Victoria.
30:25But...
30:36This crowd's a little above your pay greed.
30:40If it gets awkward,
30:41the kitchen's that way.
30:57Are you done?
31:00He's my husband.
31:06Since when does he need your permission to be here?
31:13No offense, Cecilia.
31:15Your husband's welcome.
31:17If he had an invitation.
31:19I don't remember sending one.
31:21House rules.
31:27Who said I don't have one?
31:40Impossible!
31:41I didn't even know who you were before tonight.
31:43I only sent one invitation to Cecilia.
31:49That's a forgery.
31:51Kale, seriously?
31:53You faked an invitation to sneak in?
31:56That's a new low, even for you.
31:58Look! Look at him!
31:59This is the dog I used to keep on a leash.
32:02Can't get through the door on his own,
32:03so he fakes his way in!
32:07Forging invitations?
32:08Pathetic.
32:09Gold-rank hunter's husband?
32:11More like a freeloader and a fraud.
32:14Can't even pass a bronze examst.
32:16And he thinks he belongs here?
32:19Shut your mouths, all of you!
32:21That's my husband you're talking about!
32:23What?
32:26The invitation's real.
32:28But you're right.
32:30You didn't send it.
32:32Oh yeah?
32:33Then who did?
32:34Go ahead.
32:35Make something up.
32:38Your professor.
32:40My professor?
32:42Why would he send you anything?
32:43He doesn't even know who you are.
32:45That invitation my professor sent?
32:47It was for Master Avikina,
32:49the greatest alchemist on the continent.
32:52Wait.
32:53The professor?
32:54Gave it to you?
32:56Are you saying...
32:58You're Avikina's?
33:03This is insane at Victoria.
33:05Don't forget.
33:05This is the dog you paid to keep for six years.
33:08A nobody who can't pass a bronze exam and he's Avikina's?
33:12Please!
33:14Exactly.
33:15No way this loser is Avikina's.
33:16The invitation's obviously a fake.
33:19He must have heard about it somewhere and forged one.
33:24A guard dog pretending to be a master?
33:28That's rich.
33:30Absolutely shameless!
33:31Do you have any idea what you've done?
33:33The real Avikini is coming tonight.
33:36The second he walks in you're exposed.
33:38And the guild?
33:40They'll bury you.
33:43Fake invitation!
33:44Fake identity!
33:45Throw him out!
33:46How'd a gold rank hunter end up marrying a con artist?
33:50Embarrassing.
33:53Cecilia.
33:54I'm saying this for your own good.
33:56A liar like this will only drag you down.
33:59Cut him loose while you still can.
34:02Worry about yourself.
34:06Worry about yourself.
34:10Kyle.
34:11Get on your knees right now.
34:13Beg me.
34:14Come back, be my dog again and maybe, maybe, I'll introduce you to the real Avikasa.
34:21No thanks.
34:23Idiot!
34:25Ungrateful piece garbage!
34:30My sist, tonight I'll meet Master Avikasa in person.
34:35Once he's backing me, I'll leave you so far behind.
34:39And the entire Ashford family?
34:43They'll be answering to me.
34:47He won't help you.
34:49The Wong Chung mentor has arrived.
34:59Professor's here!
35:01At Kale, you're done.
35:04My professor has met the real Avikania!
35:13Professor.
35:15Thank you for coming.
35:19Where's Master Avikasinus?
35:21Is he not here yet?
35:23Professor!
35:24Perfect timing.
35:25There's a fraud here claiming to be Avitana.
35:28You've seen the real one.
35:29Call him out!
35:31Him!
35:31A dog I used to own.
35:33Can't pass a bronze exam and he's pretending to be Avitana?
35:37Cecilia's husband is a fraud.
35:39Once the professor exposes him in front of everyone,
35:42let's see if she still has the nerve to show her face here.
35:45Come on, professor!
35:46Get the fraud out of here!
35:47Fake invitation, fake identity, shameless!
35:50You hear that?
35:51My professor learned from Avenida himself.
35:54Your game's up, fraud.
35:55Once this fraud is exposed, Cecilia will leave him.
35:59And then she's mine.
36:01Professor, tell everyone.
36:02Is this man Avenida's or not?
36:11Professor?
36:14You fool!
36:23Master!
36:25Forgive me, my student is an idiot.
36:28I'm so sorry.
36:35No, that's impossible.
36:38Professor, are you sure?
36:40He...
36:40He can't be...
36:41Shut your mouth!
36:42Do you have any idea who you just insulted?
36:44He is Master Avikina.
36:45I delivered the invitation to him personally.
36:50IS THIS MAN TO
