The Idhun Chronicles (Memorias de Idhún)

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL ANIME SERIES

COME WITH ME - V

- -

Hey!

- -He got away.

Kirtash, listen...

I have reason to believe

that the renegade boy has made it into the castle.

-He's disguised as a Szish. -I hadn't noticed.

- -

Where are they all coming from?

There are fewer than it seems.

-It's an illusion. -You mean, they aren't real?

- -Some of them are, but not all.

- -And how can we tell them apart?

- -No, Vic, we can't.

We should find a better place to launch our counterattack.

Got it.

There! Quickly!

-Up we go! -

It won't take them long to find us.

This isn't a great hiding place, Shail.

-Don't you think? -Wait. It will be now.

Hey.

I'm looking for the prisoner, the renegade prince.

Why are you looking for him?

Mmm... Well, because...

Because Elrion the magician has some matters to discuss with him.

Why didn't he come looking for him himself?

Mmm... Eh...

Mmm?

Hey! Hold on!

Hey! Wait. First, we need to report this.

We have to find Kirtash and tell him that--

It's not necessary.

- - Hmm?

I'm already here. I'll take care of it.

Alsan.

Where are you?

- - Quiet, Jack! It's me.

Alsan!

Is that really you?

Can't you see me, boy? Come on, open the door.

But what happened to you?

Don't waste time with silly questions!

You've come to rescue me, haven't you?

What else would you be doing here, disguised as a serpent?

- -

-Alsan! -

Let's get out of here!

Kirtash, what's going on?

- -Summon all of the warriors to the exits.

I don't want them to get away.

What do you see?

The guards are forming a ring around the castle.

Hmm, then they already know Jack is inside and they want to prevent him from leaving.

Oh, no!

Hmm?

Victoria, stay here and protect the staff.

If Kirtash gets hold of it, it will be the end for all of us.

Where do you think you're going, warm-blood?

A Szish... magician?

You seem surprised, boy.

Give me the staff and the girl.

You'll have to kill me first.

So be it.

Let's see what you can do.

Shail!

Look who we have here...

the very human girl that I was looking for.

- -

I hope you have a good plan to get us out of here.

Mmm, no, well, actually... I...

What's going on? Hmm?

Nothing good, kid.

Let's get out of here right away.

What kind of place is this?

What are we doing here?

I had to get my sword back.

Sacred Irial, what am I turning into?

Alsan, what have they done to you?

They have turned me into a monster.

Don't worry, I'm sure Shail can reverse it.

No.

I'm the result of a spell that went wrong

that only Ashran the Necromancer has been able to perform successfully.

Mmm...

Are you going to turn to him for help?

I wouldn't hold it against you, Alsan, if you decide to join him...

Never!

- -

You learn fast.

You have had the staff for a day and you already know how to control it.

You'll have to take it from me by force!

Don't hide!

Show yourself!

Oh, no.

How are we going to escape? All of the exits are being watched.

Not all of them.

I have an idea. Come on, follow me.

What are you up to?

Hey!

-Alsan, what are you doing? -You'll see. Hold on tight.

- -

Wow! It was almost like flying!

Go find Shail and Victoria.

I'll catch up with you soon. Move it!

No way. I'm not leaving you behind again.

Do as I say!

It's better to stand up to them than to turn your back on them.

- -

Hmm...

I have to kill you, Victoria.

You know that, right?

But you shouldn't die.

Enough.

Either kill me or let me go...

but don't do this to me.

I could let you go.

Well, then do it.

Victoria, if you stay in the Resistance,

you will die, you can be very sure of that.

The best thing you can do is give up and you know it.

No.

Well, don't cross my path again, girl,

because next time, I will have to kill you.

But there could be another way.

Come with me.

What...?

Come with me.

If you are by my side,

you will be my empress,

and together, we will rule Idhun.

You're toying with me, aren't you?

Why would I do that?

You're trying to confuse me.

You are already very confused, Victoria.

But I could show you...

things you can't even imagine.

Why?

Because you and I aren't that different

and you'll see that soon enough.

That's not true!

I'm not like you!

Don't kid yourself, Victoria. We are two sides of the same coin.

I exist because you exist as well.

And vice versa, kid.

Oh, no.
