00:00I tried to warn you!
00:02I will be the most powerful mage this world has ever seen!
00:14I'm dying.
00:26Are you ready?
00:28To be reborn?
00:30You're talking to me, lady?
00:32It's time to say goodbye to this life, Derek.
00:34How do you know my name?
00:36There's no magic in this world.
00:38But my world holds power that you can't even imagine.
00:43Listen, lady, I don't know what you're talking about.
00:47You are getting a second chance.
00:49You will be reincarnated into my world.
00:55There's a name for those who remember their past lives.
00:58They're called the Awakened.
01:01Hi, Lith. I'm your mama.
01:04What? I'm Derek.
01:06Who's Lith? Where am I?
01:09Lena, he's beautiful.
01:11A healthy baby boy.
01:13Who are you people?
01:15Where is that crying coming from?
01:17Hang on. Don't tell me.
01:20That was me crying? I'm a baby?
01:23How is this possible?
01:25I never believed in an afterlife or reincarnation, but...
01:30It was not an easy birth.
01:33But the baby is strong.
01:35Is he here?
01:39Gently.
01:41Careful.
01:43Don't crowd your brother.
01:45It is quite hot in here.
01:49Let me get you something, my dear.
01:54Oh, shit.
01:57Glacier!
02:01Derek, now called Lith,
02:03watched in wonder as the old woman performed a miracle before his eyes.
02:08Hey, old woman, how did you do that?
02:10Was that magic?
02:12Oh, that feels lovely.
02:15Thank you, Lena.
02:16Answer me. Someone tell me what's going on.
02:21What's happening?
02:24Hang on, kids.
02:25What's happening?
02:26What is this feeling? This power?
02:29Am I doing this?
02:37What?
02:39What did you...
02:41Sleepy?
02:42He is sleeping now.
02:44What was that?
02:46The child is blessed by the light.
02:49Lith, our baby boy is practicing magic already?
02:53He has magic powers?
02:55It's a miracle!
02:56Be silent!
02:57It is not natural for a child to show an aptitude for magic this early.
03:03Come now, you saw how he...
03:07I saw nothing!
03:09Do not speak of this again.
03:12Or there may be dire consequences for the boy.
03:20Unlike his past life, young Lith found himself in a loving family.
03:26Hi, Lith.
03:28Mama's gonna be right back.
03:30Here, take your toy.
03:36For the most part...
03:39Mine!
03:40Hey, bro, give it back!
03:42Kill him.
03:43Who said that? Hello?
03:46I'm watching you.
03:48Oh, just wait until I learn how to use my magic.
03:55How does this work?
03:57Come on, spin!
04:03It was going to take time and patience for Lith to control his abilities.
04:09As he grew, Lith practiced using magic every chance he could.
04:14I think I can help Dad.
04:19Now we're talking.
04:21I think I'm getting the hang of this magic stuff.
04:24His father, Raz, encouraged Lith's use of magic.
04:28That's my boy!
04:30That's my man!
04:32His father, Raz, encouraged Lith's use of magic.
04:35That's my boy!
04:37That's my mage!
04:39He was so proud to have a mage in the family.
04:42But Lith's gifts made his brother, Orpal, mad with jealousy.
04:50Magic is evil!
04:51Orpal!
04:52Don't push your little brother. What's the matter with you?
04:55Orpal, apologize to your brother.
04:58Sorry.
04:59Jerk.
05:02Try this one.
05:09En garde! You don't stand a chance, Lith.
05:12Sister, I've got a lifetime of experience on you.
05:20Tista?
05:26Hang in there, sis.
05:29Lith, sweetheart, can you try using your magic?
05:35I have no idea how to cure her, but...
05:38I'll try.
05:58I failed.
06:02It's okay. Thanks for trying, baby brother.
06:05I have to get stronger. More powerful.
06:11I think it's time we visit Nana.
06:22The woman called Nana was the most practiced mage in the village.
06:26If anyone could help young Tista, it was her.
06:33This must be where magic happens.
06:40Come this way.
06:44What the hell? Who said that?
06:48Did you just talk?
06:50I know what you are.
06:56What's happening?
06:57You are awakened.
06:59I don't know what you're talking about. I'm just a kid.
07:03Derek?
07:04Lith, awakened child, blessed by light.
07:07You could be the most powerful mage of all.
07:11Awakened child, blessed by light.
07:13You could be the most powerful mage of all.
07:17How?
07:18Who are you?
07:23What do you think you're doing, young man?
07:25That book is not a toy. Why did you pick it up?
07:30What was that voice? There were flames and...
07:33That's enough, Lith.
07:35Your imagination just got away with you, that's all.
07:39You heard a voice. What did it say? Speak!
07:44Lith thought it best not to reveal the whole truth.
07:48It just said my name, that's all.
07:56This passage. What does it say?
07:59Water flows from life. Fire is a burning rage. Dark magic is borrowed. Dark magic requires...
08:08He means no harm. He's a smart boy. He just learns very quickly.
08:12No. He has not learned anything.
08:17He remembers. He is awakened.
08:22I guess my secret is out.
08:25Awakened? I don't understand. What does this mean?
08:32You've been practicing magic, haven't you?
08:37Cast fire. There! Even a spark will do.
08:50Outside. I need to talk to your mother alone.
08:58I don't understand. You said Lith is awakened.
09:04I've heard stories, but Nana, he is my son.
09:09Our souls are not our own.
09:13When we are reborn, we are washed clean to begin anew.
09:20Lith, he has memories of his past life. He is your son.
09:26But we don't know who he was before coming into this realm.
09:30Please. His abilities are growing day by day. I just... I don't know what to do anymore. You have to help.
09:36He exhibits power beyond anything I've seen in a child of his age.
09:41We have no idea who he was before. Good. Evil. In the wrong hands.
09:49This kind of magic could undo the world.
09:52He's good. I know he is. Please, Nana, help my son.
10:01In one year's time, if the boy has not revealed himself to be a dimwit or a malevolent tyrant,
10:09bring Lith to me and I will take him on as my apprentice.
10:17Yes. You won't regret this.
10:19Of course. Let's tend to your daughter. Come.
10:23From that day on, Lith was given free reign to practice magic.
10:28Unfortunately, as Lith grew stronger, his sister, Tista's condition remained the same.
10:36Routine treatments from Nana could only keep the sickness at bay.
10:42That book mentioned a path to power. Dark magic. Forbidden, maybe.
10:47That book mentioned a path to power. Dark magic. Forbidden, maybe.
10:51But if it can help my sister...
11:03I knew it. I saw what you did. You're using dark magic.
11:06It was an accident.
11:07You're lying.
11:08I wanted to help Tista.
11:09You're evil. I always knew. Ever since you were born.
11:12Orple, stop. I'm your brother.
11:14You're not my brother. You're some kind of demon.
11:17And I won't let you hurt this family.
11:19I tried to warn you.
11:21I will be the most powerful mage this world has ever seen.
11:37You're my brother, Orple. I don't want to hurt you.
11:40You're my brother, Orple. I don't want to hurt you.
11:42But next time you attack me, I won't hold back.
11:46Lith's display of power was effective in getting his brother off his back.
11:50For a time.
11:53But Orpal found other outlets for his cruelty.
11:58It hurts, Mama.
11:59I know, sweetheart.
12:01We're going to Nana's for more treatment tomorrow. You'll feel better then.
12:06We'd all feel better if someone put her out of her misery.
12:09Why'd you say that?
12:11Look at her. She's barely alive. There's not enough food to go around.
12:15Take it back. Tista's our sister and she's going to get better.
12:19You're both useless.
12:24Despite his callous cruelty, Orpal spoke the truth.
12:27There wasn't enough food to go around.
12:30Any luck?
12:32Nothing.
12:34There's just no game to hunt.
12:37That was the last of our food reserves.
12:40What if you go to the King's hunting ground?
12:43You could try going into the Tron Woods.
12:46Elena, you know entering is forbidden.
12:49If I'm caught, they'll hang me. Then what?
12:51If we do nothing, you'll be hanged.
12:54I don't care.
12:55It's forbidden. If I'm caught, they'll hang me. Then what?
12:58If we do nothing, our children starve.
13:01I know!
13:05I know.
13:08I'll go back. I'll keep searching.
13:10Maybe I could trade for food in town.
13:14I will think of something.
13:18I didn't get reborn just to starve to death.
13:22Lith was determined to find food.
13:25Even if it meant venturing into the Forbidden Woods.
13:32Stay calm. You've got magic.
13:37Okay, maybe this was a bad idea.
13:41Time to go.
13:43If that's a rye wolf, I'm as good as dead.
13:49Hey kid, get down!
13:52I'm alive. Cool.
13:58Let go!
14:00Easy there, kid.
14:02You almost killed me.
14:04I just saved you.
14:06You would have been ripped to shreds if I hadn't been here. A thank you would be nice.
14:10I had it under control.
14:12Sure you did.
14:14What's a little imp like you doing in the Tron Woods anyway? You lost?
14:19I was hunting.
14:21Really?
14:24You know hunting in the King's Wood is forbidden?
14:27Punishable by death.
14:29Then why are you here?
14:32Because I neither fear the laws of kings nor the claws of beasts.
14:37The name's Celia.
14:39You best be running home to your mother, little imp.
14:42I'm on the hunt and can't spend all day playing wet nurse.
14:46Wait!
