02x04 - The Eye of The Serpent

[bunniefuu]

AN ORIGINAL NETFLIX ANIMAL SERIES

THE SNAKE'S EYE

I have to go.

But first…

I want to give you two gifts, Victoria.

It's called Shiskatchegg.

My people have an ancient legend.

According to legend, this ring
was one of Shaksiss’s eyes,

the snake of the heart of the world,

the Great Mother of our race.

It is one of the symbols of my power.

The other was The Hague.

Shiskatchegg.

Yes, I've heard of him.

In the Dark Age,

Emperor Talmannon used
it to control all sorcerers.

Now, it no longer has that capacity.

But you still have other powers.

For example, it may contain
part of my perception Shek.

He's like an extension of myself.

Now, I want you to stay with him.

What?

As long as you put it on,

we will be in contact.

And if you need me,

you can call me through the ring.

And I will come to you.

Whatever happens,

stay with Jack.

He protects you, when I'm not.

And why am I so important?

You are.

You can't imagine how far.

I have one more gift for you, Victoria.

Look at me.

Bye. Until always, creature.

Where am I?

Lunnaris.

Do not go.

Do not.

Please.

Stay!

Lunnaris!

Thank you, Christian.

I can enter?

Sure.

How's your wound?

It's almost healed, see?

So quickly?

I don't know, but I heal very quickly.

You already know...

... that I'm not completely normal.

Well, it's not that bad.

None of us are, right?

I think not.

I...

I like you like that, as you are.

What's that?

Chris's ring... from Kirtash.

And why are you using it?

Because he gave it to me.

It is a sign of affection.

Affection?

Victoria!

You saw it, just like me.

You know very well that he is a Shek!

Excuse.

I didn't want to upset you.

Is that...

I don't understand all this.

I have a lot to tell you, Jack.

Do you want to hear?

Kirtash.

What do you want?

Just tell you that Ashran wants to see you.

You're in trouble.

You don't know who you're talking to, Gerde.

But we can solve it.

Ashran knows what you
did, but it's not too late.

k*ll her and stay with me.

She is the only thing between
you and your empire in Idhun.

Offer Ashran her head
and I'm sure he'll forgive you.

Don't try to provoke me, Gerde.

I could paralyze you right now

and sit and watch your fairy
essence being consumed,

away from the woods.

Without any kind of remorse.

I would even enjoy the show.

Ashran knows your secret.

And hers.

Do you want me to k*ll you
for spying on me, Gerde?

Ashran would find out.

It would make things worse.

Go away!

How do you know Kirtash isn't
spying on us through the ring?

What if it's a trick to get to Limbhad?

I don't think so. He had the
opportunity to k*ll us and he didn't.

Yes, you are right.

Furthermore, it saved your life
when it protected you from my fire.

I never thought to say this, but...

It is something for which I am grateful.

Why do you have to face each
other, Jack? There is no other way?

Do not know. I always hated him.

But it was Elrion who k*lled my parents.

Then Kirtash k*lled
Elrion, avenging us all.

But I never hated that damned
wizard as much as I hate Kirtash.

It's almost irrational, it's...

Instinctive?

It could be my phobia about snakes.

Maybe he sensed
that Kirtash was a Shek.

But I would be willing to forget everything.

If you asked me.

Because, although it costs me to realize
it, I know that it is important to you.

Jack.

Although that doesn't solve anything.

Because Kirtash is still
determined to k*ll me.

- You will not deny that I have to defend myself.
- Of course not.

I wish it were different.

Do you think Kirtash
would join us? For you?

I wish.

I worry what will happen to you if
they find out you're protecting me.

But I don't know if he
likes me at that point.

Since Ashran is his father
and Sheks are his people.

Why would he betray them?

For eyes like yours, maybe.

Don't be silly.

I mean it.

There is a very special light in your eyes.

Like a star in the night.

Jack.

This is very beautiful.

Good...

Maybe I'm a little dizzy, but...

It's what I think.

I wish I could
also give you a gift.

To prove how I feel about you.

If you want,

you can give me something
that will make me very happy.

What?

Give me a kiss.

You knew who she was.

Did you know from the beginning?

From the first time I
looked her in the eye.

Two years ago.

Two years ago.

And you didn't tell me. You hid it from me.

Do you know what that means?

Yes, my Sir.

Anyone else in your place

he would be dead already, Kirtash.

But I'll give you a
chance to explain yourself.

I don't want her to die, my lord.

I hoped to find another solution,

so as not to have to k*ll her.

That doesn't justify
acting on my back, Kirtash.

You have become a weak being,
shaken by your human emotions.

And so...

... you don't serve me.

You don't serve me anything!

Kirtash...

My son,

you are the heir of the world
that we conquered for you,

and you, in turn, hide a secret
from me that can ruin everything.

Because?

For a feeling?

You are pathetically human, unfortunately.

I see it in your eyes.

That's what this creature did to you.

And yet, do you dare
to beg me for her life?

I love you, dad.

You are no longer worthy to call me a father.

But you can still be my
most powerful warrior again

and become the most loyal to my cause.

I will not do anything
that could harm Victoria.

Of course you will.

You will see.

Not!

The weekend will be
sunny throughout Spain ,

what will last until the next...

What about the weather, grandma?

Can't you see it's raining?

Tell me, who are you?

Christian!

My name is Christian.

Victoria?

What's up?

Victoria!

Christian!

I have to go and save him.

You're not going anywhere, Victoria.

It would be very dangerous.

You don't understand.

He needs me!

Wait. He's a long way from you.

You won't be able to reach him,
Victoria. Don't you understand?

I have to go!

Let go of me!

Gerde.

Did you see what I have to do to
my son for not showing me loyalty?

Tell me: what do you think I
would do to you if you failed me?

Look at him. My own son.

Humiliated and helpless at my feet.

Do you still find him attractive?

He remains my prince, sir.

And he will become

the proud and invincible
prince that we all remember.

Then it can be yours.

If you want it,

you have to go to Earth
and bring that girl to me...

Dead.

Understood?

But the girl is protected
by ancient magic,

more powerful than mine.

It doesn't interest me
how many spells protect it.

She is a talented magician.

She shows me that you can be useful to me.

It will be as you wish, my lord.

Go.

Now, she tells me. Who are you?

My name is…

… Christian!

I won't give in!

Wait!

Where are you going with that?

Christian! I have to save him!

What about Victoria?

Do not know.

But she took the staff.

We have to protect it.

Get Sumlaris!

Wherever she goes, we go with her.

Please.

Take me to Christian!

He's in Idhun, isn't he?

You can't get to Idhun from here.

Ashran and the Sheks control
the interdimensional door.

Still, I have to do it.

He's suffering. I think
they are torturing him.

So, it may have been discovered.

Who are you talking about?

Kirtash.

She came to warn Victoria that
there is a m*rder*r behind her.

And these are the
consequences of her betrayal.

What?

He knew. He knew they would
eventually find out and yet...

He took a chance for me.

My grandmother was right.

Not worth it.

- I won't be able to reach him.
- What? Your grandmother?

What does she have to do with this?

Grandfather?

I am very happy to see
you, friends of Idhun.

Prince Alsan.

You look different.

You have to tell me what happened
to you since our last meeting.

What a...

How is it possible?

It's time to find out
the truth, my daughter.

I'm idhunaica

and I came to this world
to flee the Ashran Empire.

So, are you an exiled witch?

So, did you know that...

I knew perfectly who you were

since your powers have been
manifested in the orphanage, Victoria.

That's why I adopted you.

In order to take care of you and protect
you until we can return to Idhun together.

Aile!

Did you already know each other?

I was part of the wizard group

who sent the dragon and the
unicorn to Earth from Kazlunn Tower.

I remember.

So you went through
the door too, didn't you?

Why didn't you contact the
Resistance when you arrived on Earth?

Because you and Shail arrived
here many years after me.

I thought they were lost.

This is impossible.

So long?

Sheks have ruled the
lands of Idhun for 15 years,

Prince Alsan.

But for you, no more than five have passed.

I don't understand. Because?

I went through the door
behind Yandrak and Lunnaris

and I arrived on Earth when they arrived.

You and Shail crossed it shortly after.

But at that very moment,

Ashran closed the door and left
you trapped between the two worlds.

For 15 years?

No, ten years have passed, not 15.

It was the time that passed
since Ashran closed the door

until he opened it again,
for Kirtash to cross.

That's when you and Shail
finally arrived in Limbhad.

But we were here a decade ago.

It's not possible. Do not.

Why didn't you tell me any of that?

Because I always wanted

that you would have a
normal life until the time came.

The moment?

I have more to tell you,
but you will have to wait.

- Now, we're in danger.
- In danger? On here?

Our enemies are preparing
an offensive against the house.

I created a magical protection around
it, but it won't be long before I cross it.

But we have to go back to Idhun now! If we
don't do anything, they'll k*ll Christian.

You're talking about Kirtash.

He already calculated.

I had seen him around here.

Did you know? And you allowed it?

Kirtash has become
a powerful ally, Alsan.

And he decided to protect Victoria.

I will not refuse such valuable help.

But he is a Shek, by all the gods!

Stop arguing, we have to...

Already arrived.

Trolls.

Their magic is limited, but they are
fearsome when attacking in groups.

Gerde, a traitor to our race.

A powerful fairy magician who
abandoned us to join Ashran.

Some of the magical
defenses still work,

but I don't know how long.

Attack, now!

We will cover the main entrance.

What are you going to do?

I will remain to restore the
mansion's magical barriers.

As soon as I finish, I will
go out to fight with you.

Whatever happens, you will
always be my grandmother.

I'm sorry I hid all this,
but it was necessary.

You may not be able to help
Christian now, but Jack needs you.

Don't even think about it, Gerde.

So, you're the creature
Kirtash betrayed us with.

What a disappointment.

You don't even know who you are.

You will soon die, Victoria,

and your Christian will die with you.

Too easy.

Don't you dare touch him!

Come closer.

Come on.

Jack, wake up!

Not!

You are stubborn, boy,
but I will break your will.

My name is Christian!

As you wish, my son.

I have no choice but
to do it the hard way.

Jack!

Victoria...

Christian!

Please tell me you're still there.

Christian!

Tell me who you are.

My name is Kirtash, my lord.

Welcome home,

my son.
