02x03 - Their True Nature

[bunniefuu]

AN ORIGINAL NETFLIX ANIMAL SERIES

YOUR TRUE NATURE

I know that the most powerful
Sheks can take human form,

but only temporarily.

If Kirtash were one of them, we
would have known for a long time.

Anyway, if he did become a Shek,

how did they manage to escape?

It was because of Victoria.
He didn't want to k*ll her.

He simply became
human again and left.

I don't understand.

Why are you protecting her?

Does he really feel anything for her?

Of course not.

These monsters are not capable of love.

But there must be a human part!

Or Victoria wouldn't have
fallen in love with him!

In love, you say?

Or whatever.

He must have mesmerized you.

I don't know how she was fooled.
He thought she was stronger.

Maybe he didn't have a choice!

Do not you think?

And don't like Kirtash, actually.

What's up?

If Kirtash is really a Shek,

we have no chance of winning.

Hi.

Such as?

I was stupid.

He tricked you.

It can happen to anyone.

But I knew who he was, and yet...

Did you know he was a Shek?

No, not that.

She knew that...

He's Ashran's son.

Ashran's son?

It can not be.

Ashran is human.

And yet, Kirtash is not.

I thought you felt something for me.

Now, I don't know.

And thou?

Did you feel attracted to him?

I thought so. Sorry, Jack.

It doesn't matter.

We all make mistakes.

Aren't you angry with me?

How could it be?

You saved my life.

But that doesn't excuse me.

You would have done the same.

And now you think I betrayed you.

Is not it.

It's just...

I'm jealous, okay?

I am very jealous.

What? What did you say?

But I have no right
to be angry with you.

Your life is your business.

Besides that,

me and you…

… We are just friends.

It is not?

Anyway...

I know that a long time ago I should
have told you how I feel about you.

But I had my chance

and I let her escape.

I left.

I turned my back on you because she was a child.

And I missed the opportunity.

And it's true. Kirtash is our enemy.

He's a k*ller.

It must be a snake.

And I hate him!

I hate him with my whole being!

But you, Victoria, care
much more than he does.

And above all, I want you to be well.

What really bothers me is not
that you felt anything about...

That thing.

It's just that he used
you and made you suffer.

I am angry with him.

Not with you.

Anyway, it's done.

He already said.

Jack...

I wish I could tell you that
what I feel is very clear.

But it's not true. I am very confused.

You were really in love with him.

It was not an illusion.

See?

I'm a horrible person!

Don't say that, Victoria. You're not really.

I...

I have to go.

I have classes at eight.

But you barely slept.

Are you still going to classes?

If not, my grandmother will be suspicious.

Then go. I wait for you here.

As long as it takes.

Good morning, grandma.

Good morning, Victoria.

Did you know what happened tonight?

It looks like there was a fire in the pine forest.

Fortunately, firefighters
were warned in time.

Not!

I hope many trees
have not burned.

You don't look good. What's up?

- Nothing. I didn't sleep very well.
- Right.

And how are things
with the boy you like?

I don't like anyone.

Okay, yes, you're right.

I would like a boy, but...

I found out what he really is
and I don't like him anymore.

Did your heart break because he left you?

I left him!

Did you break his heart?

What?

He has no heart! He's
not a normal guy, he's...

A monster?

Did you talk to him after that?

Why are you so
interested in my love life?

Because you've never had
one, Victoria, and I'm curious.

Look what a gossip, grandma.

I have to go or I'm going to be late.

Alma, take me to Kirtash.

Of course, you need magic.

Please, Alma, take it anywhere.

My sword, my energy.

But take me to him.

I was waiting for you.

I'm going to k*ll you, Kirtash.

Beyond night and day

I see you are beginning to know how to use that sword.

Don't be so arrogant.

You won't be long in dying.

Next stop: Sol.

It looks like you still don't know.

And what do I need to know?

You still don't know why
Victoria needs to be protected.

What are you talking about? I
protect you because I love you.

Can you see that?

And thou…

You tricked her, damn monster.

You made her suffer and for that
reason alone you deserve to die.

Just for that?

Do you think that's just why you came?

What do you want from her?

I want to protect you, too, Jack.

I like Victoria very much.
Much more than you think.

Don't make me laugh.

You would never be able to feel anything for her.

You are not human.

Sure. I am not human, but you are.

It is?

As well?

Don't talk to me about humanity.

Don't talk to me about feelings!

You know nothing.

You are in love with Victoria
and she loves you too.

I could spare your life just for that.

It is a pity that, even so, the
balance does not tip in your favor.

Come on, face me at once!
Why are you hiding, coward?

I'm going to k*ll you or die trying!

But I won't leave it at that.

Then he dies trying.

It will be the best for everyone.

Jack!

Not!

You start to wake up.

What are you talking about?

Now, nobody can save you anymore.

Not even Victoria.

Wait!

You can't go!

You have to answer me!

Tell me who I am.

Jack!

I was so afraid.

I thought you wouldn't make it in time.

I didn't manage to k*ll him.

I'm sorry, Victoria.

I failed you.

That is not...

Yes, it is Haiass.

I broke his sword.

He took the other party.

But he won't be able to fix it, right?

Jack.

Did you break Kirtash's sword?

But that…

… it's impossible.

It doesn't matter now.

What matters is that I'm with you.

You have been defeated, Kirtash.

How is it possible?

He went to Domivat, the sword of fire.

It is not the sword.

It's you.

You let yourself be carried away by
emotions and that makes you vulnerable.

Hate.

Rage.

Impatience.

Love.

You should be above all that.

It seems that the Resistance has
someone capable of shouting at Domivat

with great efficiency.

Who is it? A sorcerer? A hero?

He's just a dead man.

I don't doubt that, boy.

But I don't like this anger that I see in you.

This future corpse
has a legendary sword,

but that doesn't make him the same as you.

After all, he is only human.

It is not?

Yes, my Sir.

He's just human.

I will have your sword forged again.

But in return, I want the
head of the fiery sword warrior.

It will be a pleasure, my lord.

You have to control your hatred, Kirtash.

It makes you lose perspective.

Do you really hate the insects
you step on when you walk?

I beg your pardon, my lord.

It will not happen again.

I will eliminate this renegade,

for that is your wish.

I'm not done yet.

From now on, you leave the music.

It's a useless hobby

that distracts you from your mission
and makes you more and more human.

And I do not like this.

As you wish, my lord.

And finally…

The girl.

You will not see her again.

Weakened you, Kirtash.

She aroused feelings in you.

She told you that if you didn’t
manage to win her, you’d have to k*ll her,

but I changed my mind.

The girl will die,

but you will not be the one to do it.

I will send Gerde to k*ll her.

Gerde?

Is she ready to go to Earth yet?

I have always been.

You did not seem
willing to receive me.

I've been busy.

My Lord.

You called me.

You go to Earth to
end the Resistance.

So he can concentrate on looking
for the dragon and the unicorn.

No distractions. Understood?

Yes, my Sir.

When you get there,

first eliminates
the Ayshel Staff.

I want her body at my
feet as soon as possible.

I will not fail you, my lord.

What were you thinking?

I already told you that you
shouldn't face Kirtash alone.

But this time, I beat him, Alexander.

And you said it was impossible.

Well, now you have a legendary sword.

Why did you go after Kirtash?

I would like to know if...

You really feel something for Victoria.

And, he played with her feelings,

you have to make him pay.

It's weird, isn't it?

He, who is not human,
has human reactions.

And I, who is thought to be,

I do superhuman things.

I would like to know who I really am.

Victoria.

I will not go.

You can wait seated.

Victoria.

Good night, Victoria.

Good evening.

Come and sit down, please.

I prefer to stay here.

As you wish.

I will be brief.

I came to tell you that Ashran
sent someone to k*ll you.

And she will not
hesitate to end your life.

She?

It's called Gerde.

She is a powerful fairy
magician, a traitor to her race,

and she has a keen interest in ending you.

I will fight against it.

I'm not afraid. I will defeat her.

Then, Ashran will send
someone else to k*ll you.

I will fight everyone!

I know. I expected no
less from you, Victoria.

How did Jack manage
to break your sword?

You're a Shek, aren't you?

You're almost invincible.

Yes, I am a Shek, but
this is not new to you.

What do you want to know, for sure?

I want to know if...

If you're really capable of feeling something...

Something for me.

Still have doubts?

Who are you, really?

My name is Kirtash, but
you can also call me...

… Christian, if you prefer.

Do you really want to know more about me?

It's a long story.

Are you willing to listen to her?

I was born completely human.

I lived with my mother.

Close to Alis Litban.

At the time, she had another name.

But I don't remember it, nor do I.

But I remember seeing the unicorn
that gave me the gift of magic.

What could I do against
Ashran's powerful magic?

I was his son. And
therefore, it belonged to him.

Ashran took me and used me
to seal a pact with the Sheks.

They introduced one of his own, a child.

Ashran offered his own son.

And he merged us into one being.

What?

Ashran put the Shek's
spirit in my body.

Two souls in one body.

A perfect fusion.

A complete hybrid.

How can you be a hybrid?

Because he used the same spell on
me that made your friend Alexander

what it is now.

But you are...

... different.

It does not work well in adults.

Alexander's soul revolted
against the wolf's spirit.

So they both continue to
fight for control of his body.

It is what we call an incomplete hybrid.

And I'm not just a human
with the powers of a Shek.

I'm a Shek.

And, at the same time, I'm human.

And don't you hate Ashran for what he did to you?

I owe you my existence.

This hybrid that I am now is
the work of Ashran and his power.

Believe it or not, I also
feel human emotions,

but, for me, they are a weakness.

That's why my father wants to eliminate you.

Because he already knows how I feel about you.

But if I offer you Jack's
life instead of yours,

maybe he'll change his mind and forgive you.

I will not accept his forgiveness at
the expense of my best friend's life.

And if I have to fight
to defend you, I will.

Why are you smiling?

Because I know that Jack is
much more than a friend to you.

Is that why you want to k*ll him?

At all.

I don't understand why
you have to love one person.

If there is room in your heart for two.

You don't belong to me, Victoria.

Only what you feel for me belongs to me.

But you can feel other
things for other people.

Feelings are free.

They do not follow any kind of rules.

Stay with us. Don't go back to Ashran.

You are asking me to betray my people.

My lord and master.

My father.

You're already doing it.

Ashran doesn't know that you're here.

That's because, despite everything, Victoria,

I cannot betray myself.

What will happen to Jack?

Jack and I are doomed
to face each other.

It is our nature.

But now, more than ever,

I am aware that he may be the
one to k*ll me, at the end of it all.

It's awful.

I know.

But I am afraid it is still so.

Get out of my house.

My Lord.

I have something to tell you.
