Willow

- Is it a girl? - Yes.

Show me its arm.

- She bears the mark. - No!

The omen is true. I must tell my mother.

- Help me! - I can't.

They're going to kill her.

Please! Please!

Oh, thank you, Ethna. Thank you.

Stand aside for Queen Bavmorda!

You cannot stop the prophecy!

This child will have no power over me. Start the ritual.

- No. No! - Where's the baby?

- The midwife. - Find that baby, Sorsha.

Use the dogs. Bring her back to me alive!

Your reign of terror is at an end!

She will come back, and she will finish you!

- Silence, wench. - My baby will finish you!

Kill her.

Dada! Dada!

- Dada! Dada! - Whoa! Whoa!

Dada! Dada! We found something in the river.

I can't run off and play with you now, Ranon.

- I've got work to do. - You gotta come. Hurry!

Come on.

Don't go near it. We don't know where it's been.

But, Dada, it's a baby.

- It's not like us. - No. It's not a Nelwyn.

- It looks like a Daikini baby. - What's a Daikini?

Daikinis are big.

Giants who live far away.

Oh, she's so cute.

- Can't we keep it, Dada? - No!

We'll push it downstream and forget we ever saw it. Come on.

Ufgood! Willow Ufgood!

Shhh! It's the prefect. That's all I need.

Keep it quiet. Don't touch it.

Mr. Burglekutt, my husband hasn't stolen anything!

Baaa!

Ufgood, you still haven't paid your debts to me.

Where did you get these seeds?

Well, maybe I used magic.

You're no sorcerer, Ufgood. You're a clown.

I sell the planting seeds around here. Now tell me where you got them.

My family's been gathering them in the forest since last fall.

There's no law against that.

Willow, you didn't leave them alone by the river?

Magic? You'll need magic...

if you expect to get your planting done before the rains start.

I will have this land, Ufgood.

And you're gonna end up working in the mines.

Baaa─.

Oh, you're lovely.

Yes, you are.

Kiaya!

Oh, Willow!

- Good girl. Good girl. - Under no condition whatsoever...

is anyone in this family to fall in love with that baby.

Yes, you are. Come on, Mims. Come on. Come on.

There we are. Come on.

Hey, I will not be ignored!

Mims? Ranon?

You're gonna be all clean.

Willow, do you think we should take her to the village council?

No. No. They'll think it's a bad omen.

There'll be a flood or a drought, and everyone will blame me for it.

"Willow Ufgood brought around that Daikini, didn't he?"

"That's right. And he's that lousy farmer too. Let's get him!"

- Willow, calm down. - Calm down?

Kiaya, tomorrow's my big day.

Love, the High Aldwin hasn't picked a new apprentice in years.

Tomorrow's gonna be different. I just know he's gonna pick me.

- Here. Hold her. - Hey, no. I don't want her, Kiaya.

- Hold her while I get some milk. - Oh, no, no. Oh.

Dada, she likes you.

Bye.

Come on, kids. Let's go.

I will now magically join the rings!

Whoa-ah!

Thank you, son.

If you're easily shocked, please turn away.

Give me a ripe one. Good.

And now, for my final amazing feat,

I will make this entire pig disappear!

- Mims, see? - Please, watch very closely.

Wuppity bairn, deru, deru!

Well─ - What happened to your pig?

No! Hey, come here, you!

I seen enough.

Attention!

The High Aldwin will now make his choice...

- for his new apprentice! - You'll be all right.

Bring forth the hopefuls.

- Good luck. - Good luck, Dada.

Willow Ufgood, a hopeful? How did he get picked?

Is this a joke?

Willow?

Magic is the bloodstream of the universe!

Forget all you know... or think you know.

All that you require is your intuition.

Now, the power to control the world...

is in which finger?

No apprentice this year!

- Where's Mims? - I don't know. She was right here!

Take Ranon in there, quick!

Mims!

Mims!

- Mims! - Dada─.

I'm scared, Dada!

Come on!

Vohnkar!

- Check to make sure it's not still alive. - It's dead!

Dada! Dada!

It was looking for somebody's baby!

- Mommy. - Kiaya!

Kiaya! Kiaya!

I'm here.

Oh, Kiaya.

We can't keep the baby, Kiaya.

We have to take her to the village council.

Silence! One beast we can kill, but there may be more.

And you can be assured that they won't give up...

until they find what they're looking for!

- It's a sign! - Who's to blame for this?

We must find the culprit and throw him in the pit!

In the pit! In the pit!

In the pit! In the pit!

- In the pit! In the pit! - Willow.

Willow Ufgood.

Come forward.

My children found this baby alone by the river, High Aldwin.

A Daikini child.

That's what the beasts want. Let's give it back to them!

Yeah!

- They'll kill her! You can't! - It isn't one of us.

This child is special!

This child must be taken beyond the boundaries of our village.

All the way across the great river...

to the Daikini crossroads.

- Well, who'll do that? - It seems only fair...

that the man to take this baby to the crossroads...

be the very man who plucked it out of the river.

I nominate Willow Ufgood.

No!

I will consult the bones!

The bones tell me... nothing.

Do you have any love for this child?

Yes. Yes, I do.

The bones have spoken!

Willow Ufgood, the safety of this village depends upon you.

- Praise the bones! - Praise the bones!

But you will need help.

Who has the courage to protect our brave fellow on his journey?

- I'll go with him. - Ah, Meegosh.

- Excellent choice. - I'll go!

Vohnkar! Vohnkar!

No! Not Vohnkar! He's the best warrior in the village!

We need him here! Vohnkar, step back!

All this expedition needs is a leader.

And according to the bones,

that leader is...

you, Burglekutt!

Vohnkar!

- What's your problem, son? - How do you mean?

When I held up my fingers, what was your first impulse?

- Well, it was stupid. - Just tell me.

- To pick my own finger. - Aha! That was the correct answer.

You lack faith in yourself. More than anyone in the village,

you have the potential to be a great sorcerer.

Now, when you're out there, listen to your own heart.

These will protect you.

- Acorns? - They're magic!

Anything you throw them at turns to stone.

You have much to learn, young Ufgood.

- Are you scared, Dada? - No!

Even with fairies in the woods...

that'll put you to sleep for a hundred years?

- Doesn't bother me. - Brownies?

- Dragons? - Trolls?

Trolls that'll skin you alive and take your face off?

Ranon! You know I hate trolls.

I can be your guard and carry your spear.

Me too. Me too, Dada.

What a lucky father I am. I wish I could take you bobbins with me.

Good-bye, Dada.

Go play! Go on.

We've never been apart.

I miss you already.

Don't worry, Kiaya. I'll be fine.

I'll be back before you know it.

Well, remember to keep her warm.

And... here.

This will bring you luck.

Good brave people!

The outer world is no place for a Nelwyn.

Give the baby to the first Daikini you see,

then hurry home.

Tuatha... lokwathrak... tuatha!

Go in the direction the bird is flying!

It's going back to the village!

Ignore the bird. Follow the river.
