The Idhun Chronicles (Memorias de Idhún)

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL ANIME SERIES

THE STAFF OF AYSHEL - III

Jack...

Jack!

What were you thinking? Huh?

What happened?

Kirtash nearly killed you.

Kill me?

How?

I wasn't there! My body...

Kirtash kills with his look, Jack.

If he gets in your mind, that's it.

Luckily, we got you out in time.

Our enemies wiped out the two most powerful races in Idhun in one day,

and you want to take them on alone?

Sorry...

I just tried to help.

I wanted to be useful.

Never mind, it could have been worse.

Much worse.

Kirtash could have got to Limbhad through your mind,

and we'd all be in danger now.

I didn't know!

I'm very sorry. I was stupid.

You can say that again. Go back to your room.

And get some rest.

You must have an awful headache.

Hmm.

So...

did you see Kirtash?

What was he doing?

Um... I'm not sure.

He and Elrion were looking at a book in Idhunese.

You were right. It's...

Probably not important,

but I can't imagine Kirtash doing anything just like that.

- Hmm... - Huh?

They were in some place...

I can't really describe it.

-I could try drawing it-- -Hang on!

-Here you are. -

It was... an unusual building.

Hey, Jack, you draw very well.

I've been drawning since I was little.

That's it.

Does this place ring a bell?

No, but it won't be difficult to find it online.

I'll get cracking on that.

You were supposed to be in your room resting.

I'm not tired.

You should be.

You've been training really hard lately.

I still need to improve a lot more.

You sure learn fast.

Yeah, but what's the point?

I know what you're gonna say.

"You're not yet ready to join the Resistance."

I never will be, will I?

Nothing could be farther from the truth, Jack.

You're the most promising pupil I've ever had.

-Are you kidding me? -Not at all.

I've trained many boys in my kingdom, and no one ever learned this fast.

Why haven't you told me that before?

Because you still need to learn to be patient

and stop to think from time to time.

There's one thing about you I don't like...

that hate blinds you and makes you do silly things...

like spy on Kirtash through the Soul.

I was trying to be useful.

You already are, but you're also obsessed with Kirtash.

You're so reckless, he can kill you the next time you come face to face.

And I don't want to lose a great future warrior

who's already a friend.

I know I messed up...

but I promise never to let you down again.

I know, son.

We all make mistakes.

I'm with you, I know you won't.

Hey. You look better.

Have you spoken with Alsan? He was looking for you.

Yes, and he's right.

I'm impulsive and reckless and almost got myself killed.

Never mind.

Just learn to think more about things.

I won't learn just through training unfortunately.

- -Will you help me?

What are you getting at?

You're much more level-headed. Your advice would be useful.

Okay,

but don't complain if I start poking my nose in your business, okay?

Deal.

Thanks for everything, Victoria. You're a true friend.

Hmm! Hey, Jack, have a look at this.

-Have you found it? - I think so.

The building you drew, right?

Yes! The place I saw through the Soul.

Do you know what it is?

-The British Library in London! - Mmm.

In my vision, Kirtash had a book.

Do you think he got it from there?

I think so.

Hey, look at this.

Tell us about your research, Mr. Parrell.

What can you say about your latest finding?

Is it as enigmatic as they say?

This book was found in a broken jar...

during an archaeological excavation.

It's in a completely unknown language.

We're trying to decode it.

That's Peter Parrell,

an ancient languages specialist who works at the British Library.

- - That's the book I saw.

Can you make it bigger?

What?

Sacred Irial!

You understand what it says?

I think that could be the Book of the Third Age.

If that's the case,

what you have discovered is very important.

Why? What's the Third Age?

That was the time when magic was forbidden in Idhun.

The priests said that magic was the work of the Seventh, the dark god.

The magicians were hunted down, imprisoned and executed.

Some of them managed to escape to other worlds, like Earth.

But they also made it to Limbhad.

They built this house

and they were the first ones to make contact with the Soul.

And it seems that they brought from Idhun many magical objects to safeguard them.

Among them...

The Staff of Ayshel?

Yes, that's right.

But the staff is not in Limbhad. What happened to it?

We don't know.

Uh...but those magicians wrote down all of their experiences in a diary.

Of course! The Book of the Third Age.

But I don't understand why Kirtash wants it.

In fact, the staff is...

No! It can't be!

What's wrong?

If he discovers how to use it,

the staff could take him to Lunnaris.

Oh, no!

Lunnaris? Who is that?

Well, we have to get that book as soon as possible.

Jack and Victoria, you're coming with us.

Can I take a weapon?

That won't be necessary. We're not fighting, just investigating.

- Watch out! -

You, bastard son of the Seventh, son of a thousand snakes!

You almost killed me! Why don't you look where you're going?

Excuse me, it was you who had the red traffic light.

Traffic light? What are you talking about?

These colored lights regulate traffic, Alsan.

We've talked about this before.

Have you guys really been here for two years?

Hey, how do you expect me to worry about colored lights

when my world is in danger?

Look at it this way,

you haven't survived the shek invasion

just to get run over because you weren't paying attention to a traffic light.

See? We can cross now.

- -

Let's go.

Well? What now?

-What do we do? -Look, guys.

There's a rare manuscripts reading room.

We could start by asking there.

Fine.

Both of you, go to that room and see what you can find out.

Shail and I will look in Parrell's office.

We'll meet back here later. Got it?

We've looked for the book everywhere and we can't find it.

What's worse, all the digital copies we had in the library are gone as well.

How could this happen?

Was it a computer glitch?

I have a copy at home. I'll take it to you right away.

Hurry, Mr. Parrell.

If the book still can't be found, we'll call the police.

- -

Who are you?

How did you get into my house?

- - Shut up!

We will be asking the questions.

We want you to hand over all the copies of the book.

Copies? I don't know what you're…

There's a copy on the computer, but I'm sure it's not the only one.

I have an idea.
