01x02 - Acalma teu coração

[bunniefuu]

All we can do is follow the plan.

PREVIOUSLY

And think of the future.

Save the magic, save Aruna.

Aruna Duhara.

There's only one explanation
for the Penumbra.

Aruna's retribution.

Don't you believe it?

May the union of these energies
be possible again.

And may the upcoming eclipse
make the sun shine again.

There are things
that can't be hidden, girl.

You were born with a purpose, weren't you?

A time will come
for you to choose a side.

I'm afraid
of what can happen to her.

It's stronger than me.
I can't control it.

I can't take it anymore!

I didn't ask to be born like this.

Is she a Descendant?

Why do I have to be the weirdo?

These are hard times.

But we'll resist.

We must be united and strong.

May our union be like
this branch of Wild Mugwort.

Soft, powerful, and ready to bloom.

- For Aruna.
- Aruna Duhara.

With the power that was granted to me

and the duty to protect this clan,

I share this power.

ARUNA’S MAGIC

- Are you okay?
- Are you all right?

- Is everything okay?
- I'm fine.

Aruna...

where is it?

I can't believe it.

It's gone!

It was her.

- What did I do?
- That hood... she's with the Order!

A girl, in the Order?

What are you doing here, girl?

- I was just--
- There are no women in the Order! She's...

- She's only a child.
- Where's Aruna?

Aruna? I don't know what you're--

You are lying.

- Let me go!
- Calm down, Cloe.

Who are you, girl?

Don't show any weakness, Latifa.
They need you.

What if she's with the Order?
You'll have to deal with her.

Wait, what is she doing?

Estela? Is it you?

No, it can't be. No, no, no... No!

Fer!

Cowards!

Get off me!

They destroyed all our Mugwort, Akashi.

Easy...

They can try,
but they won't succeed.

Do you know why?
Because we have wisdom.

The tradition. The memory.

We'll rebuild.

Why is it always like this?

Akashi, my brother...
we're tired of rebuilding.

We want a safe place
to raise our children.

Knowing our plants
won't be suddenly taken away.

Planting Wild Mugwort is a right
denied to us.

I know that.

But is living in hiding the only way?

What are you suggesting?

That we change the energy we get
from Wild Mugwort for what?

Luminum Juice?

I'm only suggesting
that we find another way.

What about going to Luminum...

- to negotiate a Mugwort liberation?
- Negotiate?

Look what they've done to Fer.

We can't break bread with those
who deny us our own culture.

How can they be both disease and cure?

Fer wouldn't be hurt
if we weren't on the run.

We can't live on ideology anymore, Akashi.

Those who are in favor of Hera

as the new Descendants' leader...

raise your hand.

You don't know what you're doing.

Did you feel that?

Wake up, girl.

It's as if she had accessed me.

- Just like...
- Estela?

- Yeah.
- But...

If Estela couldn't make it,
how could one of hers have survived?

- Maybe she passed her power on to someone.
- Huh?

What a strange artifact.

What is this?
What kind of blacksmith could have made...

such a thing?

It doesn't seem to be from this age.

For how long were we out?

Message from Ariel?

- What is it, Latifa? Just say it!
- Wait!

2023?

We're in 2023!

No! Latifa!

Let her go. There's nothing
this child can do to help us.

I know.
We must find Aruna.

We've been sleeping for 300 years!

- Maybe a Revelation Potion?
- Yeah!

Yes. I'll...

- need Wild Mugwort.
- Great.

That's weird...

There isn't any Wild Mugwort around.

What do you mean? Are they gone?

They are
the three Guardians of magic.

Can you believe it, buddy?

We must find them.
Check this out.

Juno, Guardian of the Water Bloodline.

Cloe, Guardian of the Herb Bloodline.

Latifa, Guardian of the Mineral Bloodline.

- Latifa is...
- Severe.

I sensed how hard she was on herself.
But she noticed and ejected me.

- I was so afraid...
- Wait.

You accessed one of them?

Buddy, I know you think I'm nuts.

But this can be your destiny.

Ariel, I'm already in the competition, okay?

My destiny right now
is trying to win the Young Patron.

Like your mom always dreamed.

Hey, buddy,

maybe they'll know more about your roots.

I know my roots.

Cesar and Teresa.

Do you swear to honor
the bravery and wisdom

of the four Guardians of Magic
and their witch bloodlines?

I swear.

Do you swear to be faithful
to the Descendants' traditions,

and never yield to those who want
to erase our knowledge?

I swear.

I declare you as the new
Descendant leader. For Aruna.

For Aruna.

Akashi!

The ceremony isn't over yet.

It is for me.

Where are we?

Oh, Juno, hey!

Oh, Juno.

- This may be dangerous.
- Look at those pictures.

Look!

- Look!
- Latifa!

For Aruna!

It looks like fire... but it isn't.
Is it some new kind of spell?

I'm feeling so outdated.

How can we find Wild Mugwort here?

Juno! Juno, Juno, Juno, hey!

Juno, Juno, hey!

Juno!

The coaches, Latifa!
They had no horses!

The eyes of that coachman...

did you see the fear?

We are the ghosts.

Some things never change.

Go back
to the Margem Neighborhood, witches!

Margem neighborhood? What is that?

The Margem Neighborhood
is located in Rio de Janeiro.

The Margem Neighborhood is the place
inhabited by the Descendants,

or, as some people call them,
"Witches' descendants".

Magic is so different now.

"Luminum Green Juice,

the best solution to fight
the harmful effects

of the Penumbra on the human body.

100% Wild Mugwort juice."

Wild Mugwort!

- Nope.
- No?

- Nope.
- Why not?

I can't feel the energy.

It's like... yuck!

There's something else interfering.

Let me see.

Cloe, we should go where the witches are.
We'll find Wild Mugwort there.

- The Margem Neighborhood!
- The Margem Neighborhood!

Margem Neighborhood!

But how can we get
to the Margem Neighborhood?

Calculating route
to the Margem Neighborhood.

It's so smart!

Turn left
and go forward for five miles.

Five miles? Ugh...

- It's the only way. Let's go.
- So cute.

- Let's go.
- Come! To your left!

To your left!

No... no.

Kwame?

Kwame?

Have you seen Kwame?

Mom, you've always told me
that rebels aren't born brave.

They learn how to be brave.

Special breakfast
for my future Young Patroness.

Mom...

What do you think?

It's... cool, but... isn't it too soon?

It's just a test.
I asked Gloria to make it, I loved it.

- Mom, I'm not feeling too well.
- Really, sweetie? Let me check.

You're just fine,
come on, you can't miss your classes.

What will you do
if today's subject is on your debate?

Let's go, Mima!

Good morning, Mr. Viberto!

- Good morning, Mima.
- Is Ariel home?

He left earlier today.

You've arrived
at the Margem Neighborhood.

We're here!

- Look!
- What?

Don't they look like us?

Yeah, they are us.

- Are they?
- Cloe, wait.

Yes, I think so.

THE GUARDIANS WILL BE BACK

- Hi!
- Hello, may I help you?

Excuse me, I'm looking for the owner of
this radio,

an old lady with long grey hair.

Gee, I'm not sure.
You should ask at Damião's warehouse.

- At the end of the street.
- Thank you.

You're welcome.

At 9 a.m., you have a conference
with the international science committee.

At 11 a.m., an UFN technical visit

concerning the Solar Forum's logistics.

Something wrong, Bruma?

I don't like being away from them.

- Lemon balm, sage, vernonia, anise...
- Nothing yet?

- Excuse me. Hello!
- Hello.

I'd like to know
if you have any pure Wild Mugwort.

- Certainly you do.
- Oh, my God!

Wait, ladies, don't go, please!

- What have you done?
- What's wrong?

- What kind of joke is that?
- I've just asked for Wild Mugwort!

Please respect me!

I worked hard to earn my customers!
I don't sell ill*gal stuff.

- You three, in costumes, out, now!
- Aunties!

- No, no, no!
- Aunties, aunties!

I've searched the whole street after you!

I'm so sorry, sir.
It's their first time in the big city.

Everything's so different in the country.

- But we're taking our leave, right?
- Right.

- Let's go?
- Let's go.

- Thank you so much.
- Thank you.

- Let's go.
- That's not--

Come!

Wild Mugwort sale is ill*gal.
I know who you are.

I can help. Come with me.

Hey! It was him in the magical box!

Let's go! Come!

Biology class was just awful.

No one could stand
that teacher any longer.

Go easy on your snack this time.

She's so weird!

You're a bunch of jerks.

She's too weird.

May I?

Have you seen Ariel?

Do you mind if I ask you a question?

I mind you asking me if you can ask
something else. Does it ever end?

Go ahead.

Do you have any powers?

I do... I'm a magnet for bullying.

Yeah, I think we share that one.

I mean,
do you really believe in the Aruna tale?

It's not a tale.

The history we study at school
is the one told by you,

non-descendants.
Different stories become tales.

It's always like that.

Wait.

Excited for tomorrow?

Your last chance
to qualify for the Young Patron.

I can lend you a book
about emotional intelligence.

- Thank you.
- I've never--

I don't need help.

Not even after yesterday?

No?

- Ah!
- Why are you here, kid?

I believe in you, Uncle Akashi.
I came to fight Luminum with you.

For Aruna...

Wait, Akashi!

Come on in.
You can stay for as long as you want.

Woah!

- Thank you!
- This is a safe place. I swear.

I know...

I know who you are. Juno, Cloe, Latifa.

Since you went missing,

magic disappeared from the world.
But my friend...

Mima, the girl who woke you up.
She's different. I wanted to know more...

about the lost bloodline.

I think...

the lost bloodline
is the Heart Bloodline.

How did you break
the preservation spell on the tree?

Spell? I didn't do anything.

Tell them how you felt, buddy.

If you have magic within yourself,
sooner or later, it will appear.

Appear? And if I want to hide it?

When we're afraid of our power,
it disturbs our heart.

Isn't there anything
that can help you soothe your heart?

Juno, we don't have time for that.
We need Wild Mugwort to find Aruna, right?

Luminum.

They're the only ones
allowed to plant Mugwort.

So we could go there and take some, right?

- Sure!
- Right?

Sure, like... breaking in, right?

Yeah!

I won't risk my family's dream for this.

Your family's dream?

Do you have your own dream?

So, this is your last chance

to qualify for Young Patron 2023.

As you know, one of the students will do
the accusation and the other will defend.

The loser will be out of the competition.

Ready?

Good luck!

Let me see, let me see...

Mima, you'll be in defense.

Clara, you'll do the accusation.

And the theme for this debate will be...

Luminum and Wild Mugwort patent.

Accusation starts, so...
please do the honors, Clara!

Do you think it is right
for a company to own a plant?

The only resource in Brazil that can
minimize the Penumbra effects,

in the hands of a few people?

There's only one word
that can justify this patent: money.

There is a very strong reason
for Luminum to keep Wild Mugwort's patent.

They're the only ones with the technology
for extracting its active agent.

Luminum Juice is safe.

It is safe for those who can afford it.
And those who can't?

Last year Luminum has set aside a great
part of their production for distribution.

Okay, so you've read
all the company's press releases.

But are those donations enough?

You just need to walk
on the Margem neighborhood with empathy

to see that the Descendants
are the ones suffering with the Penumbra.

I don't get it.
Does she want to win or not?

What a weirdo, man.

When we're afraid of our power,
it disturbs our heart.

Isn't there anything
that can help you soothe your heart?

Have you ever been
to the Margem Neighborhood?

Do you know
how many Descendants live there?

After all, if you're saying
that the donations aren't enough,

you must know that, right?

So what, Clara?

Have you or haven't you been there?

No, I haven't.

But I have. I cross it almost every day.
Let me tell you how it is.

I was wrong.

I misunderstood you.

- Did you know that? Uh-huh.
- Really?

You are the disagreeing type.

- Yeah.
- That was a joke.

Totally. See you in the next round.

From what I could learn,
Luminum's office hours

ends at the end of the Penumbra.
At 6 p.m.

But the later we can go,
the better.

Maybe there's an employee
working extra time.

I saw on the internet
that the outer court is full of guards.

Hey! Something's wrong.

Dammit! What's wrong with this!

Hey! What's going on?

It makes no sense!

The whole place
must be watched by cameras.

They are like electronic eyes.

Be careful with those.

Go, go, quick!

CAUTION
WET FLOOR

Inside,
you'll need to find the greenhouse.

I just don't know where.

Mima: Are you awake?

Ariel: I can't sleep.

Mima: Are they doing that thing?

Ariel: Yup, but didn't let me come along.
If they are captured, magic will be over!

Do you have your own dream?

Are you... feeling this?

- Yes.
- Aruna...

- What's that?
- Let's go.

- Come on, Cloe.
- Cloe, let's go!

Come on, come on, let's go!

Oh, no!

- We're stuck in here!
- Open the door!

DANGER

- Latifa!
- Latifa!

Latifa!

Hey!

ARUNA’S MAGIC
