[teaser whizzing]
[magic zapping]
-You missed. -Think you can do better?
Oh, I know I can.
-[teaser whistling] -There it is.
-[magic zapping] -[teaser whizzing]
[teaser whistling]
[both groan]
I got this. You're mine, teaser.
[teaser whizzing]
[whistle blows]
[wand whirring]
[dramatic music fading]
Well, class, how was your first taste of tertiary level magic?
Hard.
[Apinya] But that's what being in the DMI is all about.
Thinking outside the box.
Being prepared to deal with whatever comes your way.
Exactly, Imogen. But if this were a real test,
you'd all fail.
That's all. Class dismissed.
[somber music playing]
[birds chirping]
[cutlery clinking]
[indistinct chatter]
[Tayla] One strawberry shake, double ice cream.
[sighs] Don't look so glum. You'll scare away the customers.
You know how I wanna work in the DMI?
You only mentioned it about a million times.
Well, at this rate, the only job I'm gonna get there
is mopping floors.
Hey, I spend half my day mopping floors.
All I had to do was catch a teaser, but I couldn't.
-Teaser? -A magical training tool.
Super vigilant, very hard to catch.
Then just don't let it see you coming.
-[wand chiming] -Now you see it.
-[wand whirring] -Hey, I'm drinking that.
Now you don't.
-Teach me how to do that. -You wanna learn to do fairy magic?
Please?
Okay. Well, I guess I learned how to do it…
I don't know.
[scoffs] I guess I just learned how to do it somehow.
What about my milkshake?
[sighs, huffs]
[Professor Maxwell] The whirlwind was my fault.
I found this in the library.
See how the key shape matches the markings on the cobra's body?
Sorry, Professor. Already been there.
You knew about this picture?
It's what led us to Magnus' journal.
[sighs]
I thought that using magic on the keys might reveal their purpose.
I had no idea of the connection between you and the keys
nor the strength of it.
I'm sorry.
It's not your fault.
I don't understand the connection either.
Then to avoid further incidents, we need to find out what it is.
Could it be because she's a Tri-ling?
Possibly, or it could be to do with your Orb magic.
I wish I never had Orb magic.
-It's a curse. -It's a curse you'll have to live with,
and since the Orb was destroyed, there's no way of removing it from you.
There must be something we can do.
Kyra, you told me that
you thought the cobra was trying to give you a message.
-That's what it felt like at the time. -Well, your new teacher
is one of the world's foremost authorities on Eastern magic.
-Perhaps she can shed some light. -You mean tell her?
What if she reports us to the DMI?
I don't want anyone else in the class to get in trouble.
Apinya is an old friend. I'm sure she'd respect our confidence.
Isn't that a book of fairy spells?
[Imogen] To work at the DMI, you need to think outside the box.
So, you're learning fairy magic?
I just wanna learn how to make one object disappear inside another.
That's merge magic.
Even for fairies, that's a rare skill.
-I can't do it. -[Lily] If you want to impress Apinya,
maybe you should learn a rare elf skill.
What's so hard about fairy magic?
For one thing, it's way more complicated than elf magic.
Prove it.
I'll learn merge magic, and you learn an elf power.
-Like what? -Like… pranking.
Easy.
I can prank with both hands behind my back and no wand.
Okay, I learn your magic, you learn mine.
First one to do it by this time tomorrow wins.
-Deal? -[Ruksy] She's baiting you, Lily.
-Don't fall for it. -Deal.
May the best elf win.
Oh.
[portal whooshing]
Oh, drinking tea now, are we?
[chuckles] That awful instant stuff in the university common room
was enough to put me off coffee for life.
[chuckles]
I'm not sure you should be here, Max.
Oh, as I remember, you had a fondness for these.
-[soft music playing] -[chuckles] Melting moments.
Mm, delicious.
Well, now that you've plied me with sweets…
What do you really want?
[Apinya] I don't know which is worse.
Lying to the DMI or risking your lives on unsanctioned magical quests.
I said this was a bad idea.
Give me one reason why I shouldn't tell Sean.
A giant cobra chased me and gave me a vision.
The keys to the temple want me to find them.
Maybe it's because I'm a Tri-ling, or maybe it's because I have Orb magic,
or maybe it's both. I just don't know.
[Professor Maxwell] Something very strange is going on with Kyra.
If we don't find the cause, I fear the consequences.
That doesn't excuse what Kyra and Darra have done.
You once said if I needed any help, your door was always open.
As Maxwell knows…
I do love a mystery.
Shall we begin tomorrow?
[suspenseful music playing]
[Lily] I just don't see the point of pranking.
I don't think there is a point.
I think it's just to annoy non-magical people.
-But that's so mean and-- -Elfish?
Yes. Fairies would never do that.
Except now you have to waste your time doing exactly that
all because of a stupid bet.
I warned you not to take the bait.
[Lily sighing]
A Young Elf's Guide to Pranks. Just what I need.
[playful music playing]
Sliming? I wonder how that works.
[suspenseful music playing]
And merge.
Come on.
[grunts]
-[wand chimes] -[instrumental music playing]
No.
[instrumental music continues]
[sighs]
-Hi. -Hi.
-How's things? -Good.
Pranking going well? Been trying out sliming?
Who knew it'd be so simple and fun? [chuckles]
-Yeah, right. -How's the merge magic?
Finding it a bit tricky?
I really don't know what all the fuss is about.
It's really so easy. [chuckles]
[chuckles]
[crickets chirping]
It's impossible.
I'm never gonna learn merge magic.
Fairy spells are too abstract and flowery.
How do I even know if it's something an elf can do?
-Maybe I need a wand. -You don't need a wand, okay?
It's all about what's up here.
Then help me.
Elf honor is at stake.
Why should I care about elf honor?
I'm a fairy. Well, to be fair, half a fairy.
You should help me, because you're my friend.
Careful, you're getting gooey.
Look, you're not gonna learn merge magic from a book.
I didn't. I sort of just felt my way to it.
Show me how, please.
First, feel the surface. Notice everything about it.
It's cool, it's sticky from where Peter spilled juice this morning.
Next, imagine the wood underneath. Imagine your hand sliding into the timber.
[intriguing music playing]
[chiming]
You try.
Feel the surface, imagine the wood underneath,
imagine your hand sliding in.
[suspenseful music playing]
-[sighs] It's not working. -Stop trying so hard, okay? Just relax.
[table creaking]
[glass shatters]
I can walk through a wall in the library. Why can't I do this?
That's a magic wall, okay? This is different.
Just keep trying.
-[sighs] -[suspenseful music continues]
[grunts] I can't do it, all right? Thanks for nothing.
[whimsical music playing]
[birds chirping]
[Tayla] Imagine the wood underneath. Imagine your hand sliding into the timber.
Stop trying so hard, okay? Just relax.
-[rumbling] -[suspenseful music playing]
[chuckles]
[whimsical music playing]
Baby steps, Kyra. Relax.
Focus on breathing.
Now, use your Orb magic to form a connection with the keys.
[ominous music playing]
-[indistinct chatter] -[soft pop music playing]
-I did it. -Now the whole world knows.
-I did merge magic. -I'm so proud of you, I could cry.
Okay, I deserve that. But this is big. Let me show you, please.
-Meet me at the park in ten. -Why the park?
So you can try and find me.
-[high-pitched chiming] -It's working.
Good, Kyra. Now, try to remember the sports day.
Recall what you saw in that vision.
[ominous music playing]
[distorted whooshing]
I'm back in the jungle.
Do you have any idea where that is?
No.
Look around. Is there any natural feature?
[distorted whooshing]
[Kyra] I can see a hill.
There are three ruined buildings.
-Describe them. -They're old… like ancient temples.
The Temple of the Purple Lotus.
-Can you see anything else? -There's something.
[distorted whooshing]
-I can't make it out. -[Apinya] Get closer.
[tense music playing]
[Kyra] A cobra.
Someone's here.
[indistinct ominous whispering]
[panting]
Are you okay?
I saw someone.
Who?
I think it was Vannak.
The Tri-ling who created the Purple Lotus.
[ominous music playing]
[ducks quacking]
-[rumbling] -[dramatic music playing]
-[Professor Maxwell] Kyra. -Thank you.
I always believed the temple was a myth, but Kyra's connection is undeniable.
Do you have any idea what it means?
I hope we're about to find out.
Kyra, are you ready to try again?
[Kyra sighs]
[tense music playing]
[breathes deeply]
-[distorted whooshing] -[dramatic music playing]
[Kyra] Vannak has the three keys.
-[Apinya] What's happening? -[Kyra] He's showing me where the keys go.
-[high-pitched chiming] -[light bulbs buzzing]
-Apinya, stop. -Not yet. Where is this temple?
[indistinct whispering]
[glass clinking]
[rumbling]
-Kyra! -[gasps]
-What? -I think we need to take a little rest.
[softly] Okay.
-[soft pop music playing] -It's not fair.
-Why can't I learn to prank? -Because you're kind, considerate,
and always want the best for everyone. In other words, you think like a fairy.
So?
So if you wanna beat Imogen, you need to be unkind,
inconsiderate, and sneaky.
-You mean think like an elf? -Exactly.
[whimsical music playing]
-Imogen! Imogen! -[playful music playing]
-Imogen? Where are you? -[crows cawing]
[Tayla] Imogen!
Where are you, Imogen?
-[whispering] Tayla. -Imogen!
-Tayla, wait.
Imogen!
-Where are you, Imogen? -Help!
-I'm stuck! -[Tayla] Imogen?
[hisses]
[Imogen grunts]
Oh, come on!
Seriously?
Peter!
-Over here, in the tree. -[Peter] Imogen?
[sprinkler hissing]
-What are you doing in there? -[Imogen] I'm stuck.
-[chuckles] How? -Forget how. I need you to go to the cafe.
-Why, are you thirsty? -[hisses]
-Oh! -[sighs]
-'Cause you seem well hydrated. -Get Tayla now.
[instrumental music playing]
[sprinkler continues hissing]
I'm not sure it's wise to continue. I think it's getting a little dangerous.
Isn't that the point?
To identify the danger so Kyra can deal with it.
I don't think she should go back.
Professor. This won't be over until we find the third key.
Maybe Kyra will see something that will help us find it.
Kyra?
-[ominous music playing] -I want to do it.
[chiming]
-[Apinya] What can you see? -[Kyra] Vannak is here.
[high-pitched chiming]
-[Kyra] He's got the Orb. -What's Vannak doing with the Orb?
[ominous music intensifies]
[Orb chiming]
He's sending it to the cobra statue.
[light bulbs buzzing]
-Stop this now! -It's just a vision! It can't hurt her.
[high-pitched whining]
What's happening now?
[Orb whirring]
The Orb's gone into the statue.
[indistinct whispering]
[doors rumbling]
I think Vannak is trying to tell me something.
[ominous music continues]
-No! -What is it?
[breathes heavily] It isn't Vannak.
-[indistinct ominous whispering] -It's me.
[ominous music concludes]
-Kyra. Kyra! -[Kyra pants]
-[Professor Maxwell] Kyra. -I'm okay. I'm okay.
Have a rest, Kyra.
Let me know when you're ready to do it again.
You have to locate that third key.
-No! -[Apinya] But Max!
Kyra's had enough. This is over.
[rock music playing]
Aren't you taking this a little too far?
If I'm gonna act like an elf, I need to look like an elf.
-Target at ten o'clock. -[suspenseful music playing]
[wand chimes]
[instrumental music playing]
Is that a prank or what?
That poor girl probably spent weeks knitting that.
Maybe months. Could be a present for her mother,
-or her grandmother who's ill. -Oh, I'm a monster.
What kind of a person pranks people?
-At least you know you can do it. -I wish I never had.
[wand chiming]
-[indistinct chatter] -[instrumental music continues]
-Nice, Lily. Going elf? -I most certainly am not.
Hey, Peter. What's up?
It's not so much what's up, it's what's in.
-If you got in, you can get out. -[Imogen] Any tips on how I do that?
Just reverse the feeling you felt when you went into the tree.
Instead of absorbing into the wood,
just imagine yourself pulling away from it.
Can't you just wave your wand?
I thought you wanted to master fairy magic.
Fine. Just tell me how.
Just don't overthink it. Just feel it.
-[rumbling] -[suspenseful music playing]
[Imogen grunting]
-[Imogen] I can't. -You can, trust me.
[suspenseful music continues]
-It's working. -Keep going.
[Imogen grunts]
Congratulations. Looks like you won.
-You couldn't prank anyone? -Oh, I pranked someone, and I hated it.
-I'm hardly a success story either. -Can you two just agree it's a draw?
-[car horn blaring] -[dramatic music playing]
-[wand chiming] -[teaser whizzing]
-Gotcha. -[laughs] Impressive.
Not only did you master a rare magical ability,
and a fairy one, you used that ability to trap the teaser.
The DMI would be impressed.
-Did you learn it all on your own? -I had a little help. [chuckles]
[instrumental music playing]
[Kyra] And even though seeing myself was a shock,
I wasn't really scared.
It's like I was giving myself instructions.
So, Maxwell was right to bring Apinya in,
and now we know what the cobra was trying to tell you.
That Vannak needed a Tri-ling with Orb magic
-to find the keys. -[Darra] That's you.
Yeah.
You don't seem too happy about it.
When I use Orb magic, bad stuff happens.
-The safest thing is not to use it. -But we need it to get the third key.
Sorry, Darra. I'm done with Orb magic.
