A NETFLIX ORIGINAL ANIME SERIES
THE IDHUN CHRONICLES
"RESCUE PLANS - IV"
That's enough.
Don't hurt him.
I will go with you.
What?
No, Victoria, that's not a good idea.
But first, you must let Alsan go.
No, wait! You can't do this!
Victoria!
Shail, wait!
No!
Hey, why are you so happy? They have escaped.
Yes, that's true, but they have revealed many things to me.
They have taken the staff.
We will get it back.
After all...
we have something they want,
and they will do anything to get it back.
No!
What have you done?
It was only Kirtash and the magician, we could have done something.
Like what, Jack?
We could have fought instead of abandoning Alsan in Kirtash's hands.
He would have captured all of us.
It wasn't an easy decision,
but in that moment, it had to be done and you know it.
The Yan betrayed us. I should have seen it coming.
What are we going to do now?
We must rescue Alsan.
But that's exactly what Kirtash is expecting us to do,
and that is precisely why we can't play into his hands.
What?
Alsan would rather die before seeing the downfall of the Resistance.
The Resistance?
But if there's only three of us,
why didn't they send more people to help fight against Kirtash?
I have the feeling that this mission is doomed to fail.
Tell him everything, Shail.
He deserves to know.
Yes.
Know what?
Come. Sit down.
Do you remember how all of the dragons and unicorns were exterminated
on the night that the serpents invaded Idhun?
Yes.
The Soul showed it to me in a vision.
They died because of the alignment conjured up by Ashran the Necromancer.
Exactly. And you never wondered why?
Was there a reason?
Yes. The prophecy.
The Oracles foresaw the return of the serpents,
and with them, the arrival of a new dark age in Idhun.
They also foretold that just one dragon and one unicorn
would be able to stop Ashran.
And that's why he killed them all.
Not all of them. And that's where we come in.
That night, I was in the forest of Alis Lithban
reinvigorating my magic
when it all began.
Oh, no!
That deadly alignment was killing all of the unicorns in the forest.
I had never seen anything like it.
Magician, come! We need you!
It was a very young female,
perhaps just born recently.
You must do whatever you can to save her.
It's the only unicorn left.
If she dies, there will be no more magic in the world.
Take her far away from here quickly before it's too late.
I decided to call her Lunnaris,
which means "The Bearer of Magic."
In Kazlunn Tower,
I found out that the dragons were also being wiped out.
But luckily, Alsan had saved the last of their kind.
It was a baby dragon that he named Yandrak.
When I found Lunnaris,
I had unintentionally become a hero.
The magicians decided to send them to a safe place
where the light of the alignment would not reach them.
But there was no such place in Idhun,
so they opened an interdimensional gate...
and they sent them to Earth.
Later, when the stars returned to normal,
Alsan and I volunteered to bring them back to Idhun,
but the interdimensional gate closed behind us
and we couldn't reopen it.
Why not?
Because Ashran had already seized control of the gate,
and ever since then, we have been trapped here.
We have been searching for the dragon and the unicorn for three years,
but Earth is a very large world.
We know that they are alive because Kirtash is still looking for them
to kill them.
Kirtash?
But...
I thought that he had come to Earth to kill exiled magicians.
Yes, they are also on his list.
Kirtash tracks them down for clues to where the dragon and unicorn might be,
but he kills the magicians when they are of no use to him
because Ashran considers them rebels and has ordered their execution.
You already knew all of this, didn't you, Victoria?
Yes.
And also...
as I am a half-magician,
I must have seen a unicorn at some point in my life,
even though I was born on Earth.
So, I have seen Lunnaris, but I don't remember.
Since the staff was created by the unicorns,
we thought it could lead us to Lunnaris
and, undoubtedly, Kirtash thinks the same.
That's why it's so important that we keep it far away from him.
We should rest a little.
Afterwards, with clearer heads, we will devise a plan to rescue Alsan.
There's no way we will just abandon him, Jack.
I promise.
What's this?
I see that you have become friends.
What do you want with me?
We are going to do an experiment.
It's not a big deal if it doesn't work out,
because you will die anyway.
But if it does work,
it will be bad news for the other renegades
to find out that the leader of their pathetic Resistance
has joined our ranks.
In your dreams.
So, you would use my most valuable prisoner as your guinea pig.
It's just a necromancy experiment. It's not important.
I've already seen what happened to the others,
and I know what you're after...
but it seems to me that you don't understand the consequences.
This time, it will definitely work, Kirtash.
I know now how to solve--
No.
It never works.
Do as you please,
but if he dies or escapes on your watch...
you will pay with your life.
I can assure you that I wouldn't like to be in your shoes.
This is an old Medieval fortress in Germany.
It is being protected by a very powerful camouflage spell
so that no one can get near it.
This is where they are keeping Alsan prisoner,
but it is being very closely watched.
It will be very hard to get inside.
Watched? By whom?
By the Szishes, they are part of Ashran's army.
There are dozens of them guarding the fortress.
I hate serpents.
How will we manage to get inside?
I can disguise myself as one of them using a camouflage spell.
You both need to distract them so that I can sneak inside undetected.
You and Victoria can create a much better distraction with your magic.
Meanwhile, I'll rescue Alsan.
No, it's too dangerous.
-You can't go in there unarmed-- -I won't be unarmed.
It's time that I try out one of the legendary swords.
Alsan would have wanted to give you the sword himself.
He told me that he had chosen one for you.
Not that one, Jack.
Did you hear me? You'll burn yourself if you touch it.
Jack, stop!
I like this sword.
It's... impossible.
I'll never look like an idiot in front of Kirtash again.
But first, I need to train with it a little.
Hey, Shail, when I wasn't here, how did Alsan use to train?
Well, he would-- You see...
Okay, follow me.
-Be careful. -I'm sorry.
I still don't think this is a good idea.
What other option do we have, Shail?
This is what I wanted to show you.
It's just a suit of armor.
Wrong.
Hey...
How did you get it to move on its own?
It's an automat, a mechanical device.
I just give it the energy it needs to work
and it fights like a Nurgon knight.
Great! Well, let's try it out.
On guard!
Jack, be careful!
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean for that to happen.
To learn to use it, you must first control your power.
How?
The sword always responds to your will.
If you get carried away by your emotions, all its force is unleashed.
But, that's not a bad thing, is it?
If you release so much power,
you might not be able to control it and run out of energy too soon.
Got it.
Wait. What are you doing?
I want to learn to control this sword.
Alsan needs me and I won't fail him again.
Enough already. What do you hope to achieve by this?
You see this creature?
It has a spirit that keeps it alive and makes it what it is.
Through the art of necromancy,
I can transfer that spirit to another body.
Like yours, for example.
After that, your soul will remain subject to the spirit of the animal.
You will get its strength, its ferocity, its senses, and its savage instinct,
and, of course, you will be under our control.
Never! I won't allow it.
And how do you think you can stop me?
Vic, wait!
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to do that.
The staff didn't generate that much power before.
Because you were in the desert. Here, the staff can channel more energy.
It's not the same.
What were you trying to do?
Learn how to use it.
It's a powerful weapon and we need it to rescue Alsan.
No, don't do it. It's too dangerous.
It would be better if you stay here and try to find Lunnaris.
I understand.
Kirtash wants to get his hands on the staff again.
Victoria, Kirtash doesn't just want the staff,
he wants you, too.
Do you remember what I told you when I first brought you to Limbhad?
Yes, you said that you would protect me.
Yes, and that's exactly what I am going to do.
But I'm not staying at home this time.
Now I have the chance to fight for the people I care about.
I want to fight for you all, for Alsan, for Jack and for you, too.
All right then.
You will need to keep practicing.
Meanwhile, I'll go see how Jack is getting on with his new sword.
Wait.
I have tried using the staff to locate Lunnaris,
but I can't find her.
It's as though she wasn't here.
I'm sorry.
I don't know how to do it.
Listen to me, Vic, just do everything you can.
I'm very proud of you.
We will find Yandrak and Lunnaris. You'll see.
And we will rescue Alsan, you can be sure of that.
Do you know something? I turn 13 today.
Wow. Holy moly, you're so grown up.
We will celebrate as soon as we can, okay?
Don't treat me like a little girl.
I know it's not a big deal, but even so, I wanted to tell someone.
You know what this is?
They call them, "unicorn tears".
They say that they help to develop magic and intuition.
It's lovely.
It was given to me by one of my older brothers
when I joined the Order of Magic,
and now, I want you to have it.
What?
But... Shail, I can't accept that.
Please.
It's my gift to you.
Happy birthday, Vic.
I'm sure you will do great things and I hope I'm there to...
see it.
Thank you very much.
It's the best birthday present that I've ever received.
I won't let you down.
There's something you both need to know about the weapons...
and it's that they were forged to be wielded by true heroes.
Only those who are destined for greatness are worthy of holding them.
That's what the legends say.
At important times,
someone always appears who is destined to be a hero.
Perhaps, they are not expecting it, nor did they want the responsibility.
That's what happened to Ayshel
and, in a way, that's what happened to me and Alsan, too.
Maybe we already fulfilled our mission
by taking the dragon and the unicorn to Kazlunn Tower.
If we should fall in this battle,
you both will be the future of the Resistance.
I'm ready,
but I'm counting on you and Alsan to be by our side when this is all over.
The time has come.
Soul, take us to Kirtash's castle.
Alsan awaits us.
This shouldn't be happening.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Enough.
You've already had your fun.
I was just about to get it.
Not in your wildest dreams, Elrion.
Don't try to imitate Ashran...
because you're nowhere near as talented and you know it.
You should also know that this necromancy spell
can't be pulled off by just anyone.
It could have been worse.
I assure you.
Much worse.
Lock him up with the rest and keep an eye on him.
It won't be long before the Resistance arrive.
Go quickly before anyone can--
Quiet.
Do you hear that?
Who are you?
Hello and welcome to our clan.
They are attacking!
Jack, behind you!
Well done!
Watch out!
It was just the patrol guards.
More will come soon.
Let's go. We must rescue Alsan.
You will stop suffering when you reach an understanding with the invading spirit.
Then you will become a hybrid creature
like me.
Think of a Szish and keep that image in your mind.
You had better not look at yourself in a mirror, Jack.
It's hard for me to believe it's really you.
Be very careful, okay?
I will return alive and with Alsan.
Ready?
You take the staff
so we can be sure that Kirtash will come after you.
We must hold him off until Jack gets Alsan out of the castle.
Don't let anyone inside,
absolutely no one.
Sir...
just now, a strange Szish passed by here.
His body was giving off a lot of heat.
Where is Kirtash? Why isn't he coming for the staff?
Do you think he discovered Jack?
I hope not.
A magic shield!
Elrion?
It could be, but I've hardly any strength left.
Don't worry, leave it to me.
The staff's energy never runs out.
Alsan.
Alsan?
Alsan.
Where are they holding Alsan?
We meet again.
You're finished.
