The first 200 lines.
There was a time when magic was something as natural as life itself.
But those who weren't gifted with powers
feared the unknown.
And started to hunt down the witches' bloodlines.
Kill the witches!
The guardians of magic tried to protect themselves from this evil.
Kill the witches!
- Kill the witches! - Death to witches!
- Kill the witches! - There's one!
Now the golden strands witch is gone, three are left.
And one of them has come this way.
Death to the witches!
Death to the witches!
Death to the witches!
Cloe!
Juno! Are you okay?
Where's our sister?
We can't go on without her.
The woods are mourning.
And the village was completely...
- No, no, no! - ...burned down.
There's nothing left.
Is there nothing left to protect?
All we can do is follow the plan.
Think about the future.
Save the world's magic.
Save Aruna.
We're together.
If this is how we end...
my heart will be at peace.
Aruna Duhara.
Until magic is reborn.
They were no match for the order's hatred
and mysteriously disappeared.
From that day on,
a growing darkness fell upon the world.
ARUNA'S MAGIC
For 300 years,
the world has lived with this Penumbra.
People got used to living with fewer hours of sunlight.
Oh, no, buddy, no.
Keep on reading, please! It's important!
"The descendants still bear the mark
of the witches in their bodies,
but are outcasts, and live without magic."
Here.
"The humans disregard
what is on the witches' customs, that attribute magic to Aruna,
which is a particle that was detached from the sun,
and seek a scientific answer.
There's only one possible answer for the penumbra state.
- "Aruna's retribution." - Aruna's retribution.
- Buddy... - What?
You don't believe it?
Don't you think this "retribution" thing is...
a bit too harsh?
- Do you really believe it? - Of course!
- Of course, I believe-- - Mima! The time!
Okay, mom!
- Meet you in a bit? - Sure.
How about tying it? Huh?
We used to do that when you were little, remember? You used to love it.
We'd tie it. Look.
You'll look gorgeous.
Let's tie it, to be safe?
- Mom... - Hmm?
I can't stand being stuck with this.
Sweetie, I know, I'm sorry.
But we don't want people asking around, do we?
Now, hand me the hairband.
Great, see...
I'll just pull on these braids and... done!
New studies foresee
an acceleration of the penumbra state.
They also warn about...
It took a while because I aced it, okay? Hmm...
- Morning, people! - Hey, hey, come back here
and have a full breakfast.
What do you think fuels your brain?
My favorite Young Patron contestant.
Taste my scrambled eggs,
- enjoy the smell! - Dad,
I haven't decided yet if I'll enroll
and you're already celebrating too soon!
This will jinx me!
Since when do we believe in luck around here?
In our home we prep and study. Now eat your eggs.
A Brazilian woman has obtained great success
in developing resources to revert this issue.
With the development of new products
with a high concentration of Wild Mugwort, we believe that in a short time
we'll be able to completely replace the need for sunlight.
- The new protocol for welfare... - Look at that.
...will be presented at the United Friendly Nations forum,
that will take place in Rio de Janeiro.
The participation of Young Patron's winners at the event
is making students excited.
The Young Patron at the UNF's forum!
Oh, I'll burst with pride.
Can you imagine, Cesar?
- Mom... - Hmm?
Has someone like me ever made it?
Hey, how many times I must tell you
that you're so much more than this, sweetie.
I'm so afraid of what might happen to her.
I don't know if she'll make it.
Did it happen again?
- Are you okay? - Is it over?
It was weaker this time. I guess.
It's all right, all right.
Hey, we're gonna find a way to stop these things.
- Okay? Take your juice. Take it. - Take the juice.
It's Ariel. Go.
- Take care, sweetie. Good care. - Bye, Mom.
Have a nice day. Stay safe.
- Bye, Mima. - Love you.
The Margem neighborhood is closed.
The Secretary of Public Security
is serving a search and seizure warrant
for illegal planting.
SEARCH AT MARGEM NEIGHBORHOOD
One descendant was arrested.
Good morning, Mr. Viberto.
Good morning, Mima.
Let's go, I wanna go through the park today.
- Okay. - Why don't you wait?
I've got some cookies in the oven.
Thanks.
- Love ya, grandpa. - Me too.
Have a nice class.
He was actually arrested, buddy. And he wasn't the first one.
This is happening more and more.
But Ariel, everyone knows that planting Mugwort is illegal, right?
What's wrong with a descendant following a witch custom?
Oh, I don't know.
I think this plant shouldn't be with people
who don't have the means to handle it.
Besides, he must have been released already.
This has a name. Persecution.
Maybe it would be better
if they left witchcraft to the past, right?
And there you go again, saying you don't believe in witchcraft.
Wait. Are you hurt, ma'am?
Don't worry, we'll help you.
There are things that can't be hidden, girl.
You were born with a purpose, weren't you?
I can see it, as bright as Aruna's light.
A time will come when you'll have to choose a side.
Choose the right one.
Buddy. Mima, wait! Mima!
I'm sorry, ma'am. My friend's having a bad--
IN THE OUTSKIRTS OF THE CITY
Akashi, we need water.
Ana.
For Aruna.
In these conditions, the axis isn't making any sense.
We'll need to walk for at least another day.
If we want a few more minutes of daylight.
How much Wild Mugwort do we have, Fer?
We could be much better, Akashi.
Well, if we get there within 24 hours...
I may be able to sow one...
maybe two sprouts.
This can hold the group for...
- another month. - Another month
without poisoning our bodies with this trash from Luminum.
This is not the only approach.
It's only the nomad way.
A leader needs to think about what's the best for their group.
If we go this way,
stopping in the city,
it'll be less tiring for everyone.
Especially for Ana and Kwame.
Mom, I'm basically a teenager already, okay?
The city, Hera? Near humans?
They'll light up the stakes
before we say the first "For Aruna". No.
We'll follow my route.
It's what's best for the group.
Buddy! Mima, wait!
Entrance, Hikes, Waterfall
My lungs haven't even woken up yet, what is up with you?
I need to take a breather.
That was odd, it felt like she knew me.
What if she knows your biological parents?
What if they are... some wizards, leaders of a clan
in search for their lost daughter to finally create a witch nation?
- It's my dream. - You're tripping.
It's just me, your best friend since we were toddlers.
Cesar and Teresa's daughter...
gobbler of jellybeans.
But only the blue ones.
What's wrong?
- Tell me. - It happened again.
I felt my parents.
They don't want to tell me, but I know.
They feel I won't make it. They're scared.
I'm scared they'll give up on me.
You won't give up on me, right?
Giving up? Me?
