Wizards: Tales of Arcadia

Meow.

Have you any idea what you've done?

I knew my apprentice was an ignoramus, but traveling through time?

Time!

I think we handled ourselves just fine, all things considered.

And, technically, it was your idea.

Well, then, you must have botched it up!

My planning is flawless.

For the record, Master, I had nothing to do with this.

He did, which is me, and... ugh!

Time travel, so confusing!

Aah! The timelines are in complete disarray!

Look, I can fix this, I swear!

Ah-ah, your meddling has already wreaked enough havoc on history.

Then surely we can use the Time Map to change things back,

and then it'll all be as it was.

It doesn't work that way.

The map only offers glimpses of possible futures.

There are no detailed instructions.

Oh, come on, it's not that bad.

Aah! By my beard!

Not that bad, eh?

- Oh, fuzz buckets! - Fuzz buckets!

Your little dungeon break must have changed fate.

Now, unless I stop it, the king will die!

Your sister, as requested, my lord.

Why have I been summoned?

The beasts in the dungeon have escaped, aided by shadow magic.

Curious coincidence, hmm?

I was in my quarters all night, being a good little indentured sorceress.

The creatures were seen fleeing into the Wild Woods.

You will help take them down.

What? Why?

Consider it a test of loyalty.

Bring me their heads or yours will be on the chopping block next.

When you get the chance, you do it.

- Boom, like that! - Onion brew?

Ah, nectar from heaven!

I'm gonna make you knight-dudes so proud!

Today, we hunt down every last beast who dared defy Arthur's law!

- Hip, hip! - Huzzah!

They're hunting Jim! If they catch him, he'll be killed!

I know, and he's not the only one.

Because of us, Arthur's now fated to eat the big one, too!

Eat the what? Oh, no, was I supposed to bring food?

- He'll be eating a death sandwich, Steve. - Ugh, who would eat that? Gross.

Look.

If Arthur dies, we lose the Battle of Killahead

and the war.

Which will probably mess up time so much, you'll never be able to return home.

Oh, no! Toby!

- What's happening to him? - The future... our future is vanishing!

- What's that? - Well... Well, that wasn't there before.

It's a new timeline, one where Arthur and Jim live.

And Morgana's the hero?

I thought she was destined to become Mistress Doom.

It looks like there's a possibility, if we get Arthur and Morgana to reconcile,

then, somehow, nobody dies.

Squire Steve!

We are all thirsty!

I'll keep an eye on Morgana. Douxie, you work on Arthur.

And, Steve, make sure they don't kill my boyfriend.

Okay, Arch, let's save history... Whoa!

Oh, no, you don't, boy.

But, Master Merlin, I can help!

I'm 900 years smarter, tougher...

Nine hundred years crazier, clearly.

I must focus on protecting the king's life.

So I'm taking an apprentice who won't mess up the fabric of time.

L-Let's do this, Master!

Him? But he's just a moppet with a man bun!

Someone's just jealous they don't get to ride on the horse.

Oh!

It's time we root out every last enemy in our lands.

Hyah!

- Death to all Trolls! - Death to all Trolls!

Let's get out there, boys, and rip their faces off!

Medieval Bessie, go!

Ho-ho! Cow-ho!

What a beautiful day for a ride.

It just makes you want to...

Huh?

Yes, Mummy, it tickles.

You do know that repeat sleep spells can cause memory loss permanently.

Huh, don't remember that. No matter.

Let's go! The king needs us!

Aah!

Whoa.

Yes! We made it to the border!

That's Killahead.

Yeah, yeah. Big, scary name for a puny, little bridge.

River's been dry for years. At this point, it's a bridge over nothing.

My friends were supposed to find us by now.

Something must have happened.

You guys need to get to safety.

Whoa, take it easy.

You're still in rough shape.

I'll be all right. You should go on ahead, too.

And leave you here to die and haunt my night dreams? No, thanks.

I don't get why you trust those humans.

You'll see. We're not all bad.

You just gotta give us a chance.

Ugh, a chance to what?

See? Those humans are coming to turn your head into a wall decoration.

Everybody, hide!

Tally-ho!

Oh!

We can't let them find the others.

They'll lead them straight to our village.

No-good fleshbags.

- We gotta distract them. - Oh, you're right.

Aah! Oh, he-hello!

Get them!

I can't believe you pushed me!

Faster, men! Faster!

Come on! We'll lose them in the Wild Wood!

Yes! Now they're going this way!

Medieval steed, ho!

At... At your leisure.

Merlin, you have to look at the Time Map!

- We found... - You!

You defy my command when the king's life is in jeopardy?

Need I remind you that we trespass in Gunmar's territory?

But, Master, I found a new line of fate!

We can save everyone if we get Arthur and Morgana...

Whoa! Whoa! Oh!

Come on. Now's our chance.

They've entered the Wild Wood.

Abandon the horses.

We head on foot!

Changing fate is never that simple.

I'll deal with you later.

What's most important is that I keep Arthur safe from harm.

Okay, good chat, sir!

Forget him. Stick to the plan.

- I'll take the king. - I'll cover Morgana.

And let's just focus on getting these royal siblings to hug and make up.

- And not die. - Uh, yes, that, too.

Eh, enjoying the hunt, milord?

You again, boy?

No. I'll feel better after dealing with my sister.

Wouldn't you say life's too short to hold grudges?

I mean...

family's so important, isn't it?

You're lucky that you've got one. Closest I ever got was him.

- Hmm. - Please, sire.

Morgana was only looking out for those poor creatures.

Is all this really worth hurting her?

I will speak of this no more!

Keep an eye out.

- Ugh, my brother has eyes everywhere. - He's just looking out for you.

Can you blame him?

He's already accused me of betrayal.

I lost my brother once.

You don't appreciate them till they're gone.

- Maybe if you just talked? - Pfft, look where that last talk got us.

Please, of everyone here, you're the only one I can trust.

Me? What made him stop trusting you?

It's a long story.

Come on.

No sign of them, sire.

Trail's gone cold.

Mm, not much love left between them.

If only you could make him remember the good old days.

Maybe I can.

Say, my liege, didn't you used to spend time in this wood?

Yes.

As a boy.

Much time was lost in this accursed forest.

I often fled to these woods to escape from my growing responsibilities.

On your guard, men! We've been bewitched!

What's happening?

It's coming for me!

It's dark magic!

Stand down.

We're not in danger.

Uh, my lord...

Gwen.

My betrothed.

My beloved.

She was the heart of me.

Mm, we loved these woods.

The freedom they offered.

The wood showed us kindness for our courage.

Gwen and I were never scared.

Arthur, however...

I knew what danger lurked in the darkness.

Gwen!

Away from her, demon!

As we grew older and duty kept me inside,

Morgana encouraged Gwen,

brought her out when she should have stayed safe within Camelot.

Arthur always blamed me for our moonlight trips.

But that night, it was Gwen pulling me out of the door.

We'd stumbled into a Stalkling nest.

Gwen!

It was afraid.

That night, Gwen went into the woods and never returned.

You, sister, should have known better.

You never forgave me.
