Thank you.

Long ago, the world was full of wonder.

It was adventurous,

exciting, and best of all,

there was magic.

And that magic helped all in need.

Flame Inferno!

But it wasn't easy to master.

And so the world found a simpler way to get by. I call it the light bulb.

Over

time,

magic faded away.

But I hope.

There's a little magic left.

Good morning, Mom.

Lazy down, bad dragon.

Back to your lair.

Happy birthday, Mr. Adult Man.

No, Mom.

Hey, buddy, don't wipe off my kisses.

What? You're wearing your dad's sweatshirt. Oh, you know, finally fixed.

Oh, my little chubby cheeks is all grown up. Okay, okay, Mom, I try to eat

something before school.

We don't have much food.

I still have to go to the grocery store. Hands off, mister.

Those are for your party tonight.

It's not a party, Mom.

It's just us.

You could invite those kids from your science class. You said they seemed

rockin'. I'm pretty sure I didn't say it like that.

And besides, I don't even know them. Well, your birthday's a day to try new

things. Be that new you.

Speaking of trying new things, did you sign up for driving tax?

No! No? I know you're... a little scared to drive, sweetie pie, but I'm not

scared, Mom. I'm going to move Barley's game.

Okay, but you know how he gets when someone touches that board.

Well, he's got to learn how to clean up his toys. Oh, my brother, dear.

Disrupt an active campaign?

Oh, come on. You know, Ian, in the days of old, a boy of 16 would have his

strength tested in the swamps of despair.

I'm not testing anything. Just let me go. Let him go.

Okay, I know you're stronger than that. There's a mighty warrior inside of you.

You just have to let him out. Right, Mom?

See,

Mom, I've got to let out our inner warrior.

Thank you.

Now take out the trap.

I'm so bronco.

Barley, barley, barley. Every time the city tries to tear down... an old piece

of rubble, I gotta drag my rear end out here and deal with you. I don't know

what you're talking about. Oh, really?

I will not let you tear down this mountain. Ancient warriors on grand

drank from its flowing waters.

Barley? They're destroying the town's past.

Well, come on in. Rest your haunches for a minute. Thank you, hon.

Here,

first aid boy.

I'm just, you know, making a toast.

I'm serious, Barley. You need to start thinking less about the past and more

about your future.

She's right.

You can't spend all day playing your board games.

Quest of Yore isn't just a board game. It's an historically based role -playing

scenario. Do you know, in the old days, centaurs could run 70 miles an hour?

I own a vehicle. Don't need to ride. Well, Ian, you can... You definitely

a lot from quests of yore. You want to play? I don't. You can be a crafty

or, ooh, I know, you can be a wizard.

I shall cast a spell on thee. Hey, careful of Dad's sweatshirt. I don't

remember Dad wearing that sweatshirt. Well, you two only have, like, two

memories of him. No, I've got three. I remember his beard was scratchy, he had

goopy laugh, and I used to play drums on his feet. Drums on his feet, right.

I used to go, bum, bum, and I'm bum.

Whoa. Bye.

It's okay. You just gotta pull it. No!

Farley.

Uh, you know, I'm just gonna get some food on the way to school. I'll kill

later tonight, okay?

Wait, wait, wait, wait. By the laws of yore, I must dub thee a man today.

Kneel before me. Oh, that's okay. I gotta get going.

All right, well, I'll pick you up later and we'll perform the ceremony at

school. No, no, no, no, no. Don't do that. Don't do that. Okay, bye.

Hey, go Griffins. What?

You go to Willardale College?

Oh, no.

This was my dad's.

Lightfoot?

Wilden Lightfoot?

Yeah. You're kidding. I went to college with him. Really? Yeah.

Boy, I was so sorry to hear that he passed away.

Yeah, thanks.

You know, your dad was a great guy.

So confident.

When he came into a room, people noticed.

The men wore the ugliest purple socks every single day. What? Why?

Hey, that's exactly what we asked.

But he was just bold.

I always wish I had a little bit of that in me.

Yeah.

I've never heard any of this about him before. What else do you remember? Oh,

sorry. Gotta get this guy off to school. Hey, it was nice meeting you.

Yeah, you too.

Huh.

Whoa.

Okay, class, sit down. We're starting roll.

Hey, Gorgomon.

Would you mind not putting your feet on my chair today? Sorry, dude.

Gotta keep them elevated.

Gets the blood flowing to my brain.

It just makes it a little hard for me to fit in there. Well, if I don't have

good blood flow, I can't concentrate on my schoolwork. You don't want me to do

bad in school, do you?

Uh...

No. Thanks, bro.

First road test. Any volunteers?

Left here.

Now take this on ramp for the freeway.

Okay, yeah. I'm super ready for that.

Yeah, just merge into traffic.

Yep, any minute. Merge into traffic.

Merge into traffic.

Watch out, Brittany.

Pull over.

All right, so what do we do this weekend?

Move to a cooler town.

Oh, hey, what up, dudes? I'm having a party tonight, and was wondering if you

wanted to come over and get down on some cake.

That's not something anyone said. Okay, don't say dudes.

Gang? What's up, gang?

What's up, gang?

Hey, what's up, gang?

Oh, hey.

Ian, right?

Oh, I didn't know you knew my... Anyway, if you like party, then I was

going to do a party. What? What I was trying to say is if you're not doing

anything tonight, but I'm sure you probably are doing something tonight,

like cake, like I like cake, I've got a cake.

I am. Are you inviting us to a party? That's the one.

Oh, yeah. We don't have any plans. Yeah, okay. Totally. Yeah. Really? I guess we

can just take the bus over to my house.

Is that the birthday boy I see?

Behold, your chariot awaits.

Do you know that guy?

Sir Ian Dorr of Lightfoot.

Seems like he's talking to you. Hey, Ian!

Hey, Barley! Yeah, we were actually going to take the bus.

The bus?

Nay! I will give you and your companions transport upon Guinevere. Um, who's

Guinevere? My mighty Steve.

Oh, that's embarrassing.

Hey, girl, pat you back up.

He's just joking around.

You've got something on your face.

You just... Oh, right. No, it's... Nope.

Oh, uh, you know what? I just remembered that my birthday is, uh, cancelled.

What? I mean, the party. Uh, it was never actually happening. It was just a

misunderstanding. So, I gotta go. Okay, bye!

Ooh, whoops.

Sorry. Just file those.

Hey, look, kid's right on your face.

Here, now I get it.

Please just go home. Okay, well, we'll perform your birthday ceremony later,

you'll be ready for adulthood and its gauntlet of challenges.

You know, in ancient times, you celebrated your day of birth with a

quest. Of course, those are nothing compared to the challenge.

I think I've got it.

Hello? Hello?

Oh, is that right?

Well, I'm trying to.

I know.

Well, let's find out.

Okay.

I think I've got it.

Hi,

Dad. Hello? Hello.

It's me, Ian.

Oh, is that right?

Yeah. Did you have a good day?

Well, I'm trying to.

Yeah, me too.

Although I could clearly use some help.

I sure do wish I could spend the day with you sometime.

I know. Well, there's so many things we could do. I bet it'd be really fun.

Well, let's find out.

Yeah, I mean...

I'd love to. We could, uh... Okay.

Bye.

Yeah.

Bye.

Oh, my... Barley, keep your soldiers off my land or our kingdoms will go to war!

Sorry, Mom!

Oh, this is the world's longest gap year.

Honey, I was gonna do that.

Okay. Wow, you must have been taught by some kind of sewing master.

Yeah, a very humble sewing master.

What was Dad like when he was my age?

Was he always super confident?

Oh, no.

It took him a while to find out who he was.

I wish I'd met him.

Oh, me too.

But hey...

You know, when your dad got sick, he fought so hard because he wanted to meet

you more than anything.

You know what?

I have something for you.

I was going to wait until after cake, but I think you've waited long enough.

What is it?

It's a gift from your dad.

What do you mean it's from Dad?

I don't know. Mom said it was from both of us. What is it? He just said to give

you this when you were both over 16.

I have no idea what it is.

No way!

It's a wizard staff.

Dad was a wizard! What? Hold on.

Your dad was an accountant. I mean, he got interested in a lot of strange

when he got sick, but... There's a letter.

Dear Ian and Barley, Long ago, the world was full of wonder. It was adventurous,

exciting, and best of all, there was magic. And that magic helped all in

but it wasn't easy to master, and so the world found a simpler way to get by.

Over time, magic faded away, but I hope there's a little magic left in you.

And so I wrote this spell so I could see for myself who my boys grew up to be.

Visitation spell.

I don't believe this.

This spell brings him back. For one whole day, Dad will be back. What?

Back? Like back to life? That's not possible. It is with this.

I'm going to meet Dad?

Oh, well, you wonderful nut. What is this?

Now, a spell this powerful needs an assist element. I mean, for this to

Dad would have had to find a phoenix gem.

Wow. There's only a few of these left.

Hold on. Is this dangerous?

We're about to find out.

Ah!

Splinter.

Only one and all we get.

Grant me this rebirth till tomorrow's sun has set one day to walk the earth.

Hold on. I was just gripping it wrong.

Only once is all we get. Grant me this rebirth.

Till tomorrow's sun has set. One day to walk the earth.

Only once is all we get. Grant me this rebirth.

Till tomorrow's sun has set. One day to walk the earth. One day to walk the

earth. Till tomorrow's sun has set. One day to walk the earth.

Sorry you guys don't have your dad here.

But this shows just how much he wanted to see you both. So much that he'd try

anything.

That's still a pretty special gift.

Yeah.

Hey, want to come with me to pick up your cake?

That's okay.

Thanks, Mom.

Only once is all we get. Grant me this rebirth.

Till tomorrow, sun is set.

One day, you'll walk

the earth.

Hey, man, what are you doing in here? Bowie toots of Zadar! I don't know. It

just started.

Whoa, feet.

the top part. Oh, what did I do? This is horrible.

Hello?

It's really him.

Dad, you are in your house. Oh, whoa.

Oh, he can't hear us.

What are you doing?

That's right, Dad.

It's me, Barley.

Hi, Dad.

Oh, I messed this whole thing up. Now he's going to be legs forever. Well, not

forever. The spell only lasts one day.

At sunset tomorrow, he'll disappear.

And we'll never be able to bring him back again.

Okay, okay, okay. 24 hours, that doesn't give us much time, but...

Well, we'll just have to do the spell again. You mean you have to? A person

only do magic if they have the gift. And my little brother has the magic gift!

But I couldn't even finish the spell. Well, you're going to have plenty of

to practice. Because we have to find another phoenix gem.

We'll start at the place where all quests begin. The Manticore's Tavern.

run by a fearless adventurer. She knows where to find any kind of gem, talisman,

totem. Marley, this is for a game.

Based on real life. How do we know this tavern is still there? It's there. Look,

my years of training have prepared me for this very moment. And I'm telling

this is the only way to find a phoenix gem.

Trust me.

Whatever it takes, I am going to meet my dad.

You hear that, Dad?

We're going on a quest.

Come on, Guinevere.

Maybe we should just take the bus.

You fine.

Just like this award from Matt. Not a big deal, but I'll show you when we get

back home.

Hey, what are you two chatty Charlies up to back there? You know, I feel weird

talking to Dad without a top hat. So, ta -da!

Oh, that's great!

Dad, you look just like I remember.

Hey, don't worry. We'll have the rest of you here before you know it. And then,

first thing I'm going to do, introduce you to Guinevere.

Rebuilt this old girl myself.

From the lug nuts to the air conditioning.

Showing Dad your van?

That's your whole list?

What list?

Oh. What's that?

I'm just working on a list of things I wanted to do with Dad. You know, play

catch, take a walk, driving lessons, share my whole life story with him.

That's cool.

Oh, but before you cast Dad's spell again, you're going to have to practice

magic.

This book is for a game. I told you, everything in Quest of Yore is

accurate, even the spell.

So, start practicing, young sorcerer.

Okay, Dad.

Let's try some magic.

Hey, sweetie.

Lazy. This dragon is always under my feet.

Honey, you want some cake?

I lost Elevar.

I lost Elevar.

I can't get this levitation spell to work. Maybe I could try something else,

like arcane lightning?

Yeah, like a level one mage could bust out the hardest spell in the Enchanter's

Guidebook. Maybe we'll stick with the easy one. Yeah, well, it's not working.

I saying it wrong? Well, you said it right. It's just for any spell to work,

have to speak from your heart's fire.

My what? Your heart's fire. You must speak with passion. Don't hold back.

No, like... No,

from your heart's fire!

Don't hold back!

Heart's fire!

This just clearly isn't working.

Hey, it was a good start.

Oh, gather your courage, men. We've arrived.

The Manticore Tavern.

It is still here. Yeah, I told you.

Come on, Dad.

That's good.

All right, listen. First, let me do the talking.

Secondly, it's crucial we show the Manticore the respect she deserves, or

will thirdly not give us a map to the Phoenix Gem. Wait, wait, wait. The map?

I thought she had a Phoenix Gem. Here, here.

So cute.

Hear that, Dad? He's a smart kid. He just doesn't know how quests work. Well,

there anything else you're forgetting to tell me?

No.

Happy, happy birthday. Come join us on our quest to make your birthday party

very, very best. Hey!

Okay, okay, so the tavern changed a little over the years, but the manticore

still the real deal.

I'll have the soup of the day.

Would my lord like a cup or cauldron?

Madam, I request an audience with the manticore.

But of course, my lord.

Oh, manticore.

No, no, no, no, no. The real manticore. The fearless adventurer.

Oh, you mean Cory? She's over there.

Quick, somebody help me. These ripping nuggets were supposed to go out minutes

ago.

That's the manticore.

Oh, great and powerful manticore. Whoa, sir, you're right in the hot zone.

You're late, Adolphus. I understand there's traffic. You need to plan for

Well, maybe your mother should get her own car.

Your fearlessness?

My brother and I seek a map to a phoenix gem. Oh, well, you've come to the right

tavern. I have the parchment you desire right here.

Behold! Oh, that's a children's menu.

Isn't that fun? They're all based on my old map.

Now, oh, the great Magikor sends you on your adventure with a hero's blessing.

And here's some crayons.

Very amusing, your dominance. But might you have the real map?

Yeah, it's over there.

That's it.

I just love it. Whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you doing?

You can't take this.

We have to.

What is that?

It's our dad.

We have a chance to meet him, but... But?

We can't do that without a phoenix gem. No!

My days of sending people on dangerous quests are over. What? Why?

Because they're dangerous.

Cory, the karaoke machine's broken again.

I'm sorry, but you are not getting this map.

Don't worry, ladies. Your adventure will continue momentarily.

Okay, I can handle this.

No, Ian.

Miss Mighty, Master Corps, ma 'am. What are you doing?

This is not a good time. I'm just...

place a one -star review it's just i've never met my dad and look i'm sorry

about that but if you get hurt on one of my quests guess who gets sued and loses

her tavern i can't take that kind of risk now if you'll just excuse me i have

important things to do that's easy you haunt my dreams my in between please

we need that map no i am not giving you the map that's it i am done talking well

well i'm Not. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

You say you can't risk losing this place.

Look at that manticore. She looks like she lived to take risks.

That manticore didn't have investors to look out for. She didn't have payroll to

cover. She could just fly out the door whenever she wanted and slay a magma

beast. Are you going to fix the machine or not?

Yeah, in a minute. Okay. Maybe this place isn't as adventurous as it used to

So it isn't filled with a motley horde willing to risk life and limb for the

mere taste of excitement.

But so what?

Whoever. said you have to take risks in life to have an adventure.

Apparently you did.

Table 32 said the mozzarella sticks are cold.

What have I done?

Well, it's not too late. I mean, you could just give us the map. This place

to be dangerous.

Dangerous. And wild.

Wild. I used to be dangerous and wild.

Dangerous and wild.

Thank you.

I can't believe that worked.

You're going to nail that spell now.

Except we don't have a map. But we've got this.

Behold.

Look, on a quest, you have to use what you've got. And this is what we've got.

Best part is, little Kayla already solved the puzzle. Well, according to

we just have to look for Raven's Point.

Raven's Point. Raven's Point. Raven's Point. Yes.

Jim must be in the mountain.

We could be there by tomorrow morning. Tomorrow morning? That still gives us

plenty of time with Dad.

Yeah.

Well, it looks like the expressway should take us right there.

Expressway's a little too obvious.

On a quest, the clear path is never the right one.

What? During one quest of your campaign, Shrub Rosehammer and I took the easy

route and led him straight into the belly of a gelatinous cube.

Only reason I didn't suffer the same fate?

I followed my gut.

And it's telling me... We take an ancient trail called the Path of Peril.

the expressway is faster.

Maybe not in the long run. I know you want this to be like one of your

games, but all that matters is that we get to spend as much time as possible

with Dad.

So we should just take the expressway, right?

Yeah, you're right.

Red, you end up inside a gelatinous cube. You are on your own.

Manticore's Tavern, ahead on your right.

Hey. I'm just checking in. Did you catch up to the boys yet? No, not yet. But

I'm a little worried because we have a weird family issue come up. And, well,

just isn't like Ian to run off. I mean, Barley, yes, but not Ian. You know, it's

late. You shouldn't have to be out looking for them. I know. It's silly.

sure they're both probably on fire.

Fire? Fire!

The place is on fire! My boys are not going to go!

Get it off! Get it off! Get it off!

Excuse me. Please.

I'm looking for two... Teenage elves. I told you already, there were two teenage

elves. Oh, those are my sons. Where did they go? Oh, they went on a quest to

find a phoenix gem. But don't worry, don't worry. I told them about the map.

told them about the gem. I told them about the curse.

I forgot to tell them about the card. What?

Oh, boy. Listen, this one's gone a little... Your boys are in grave danger.

But I can help. Whoa, hey, hey.

You're not going anywhere. We've got questions for you.

I know where they're going. We can still save...

Last name Manticore, first name The. Hold on. You're right. She has gone a

little... It's no wonder with a wound like that.

That's just a scratch.

Oh, I'm sorry. Are you an expert on minotaurs? Manticores?

Manticores? Well, no.

Well, then you wouldn't know that when their blood is exposed to air, it makes

them go bonkers. I don't think that's true.

See? She's already losing her grip on reality.

So why don't you let me save her life before it costs you yours? Okay. Thank

you. Could we have a little privacy here, please?

Just like this. That's good, but get your head a little bit higher. Just

take too long back there, okay?

Hey, you hear me?

I said don't take too long back there because... All right,

how do we help my boy?

Ooh, I'm going to like you.

Radio, headlights break, tires rim.

I mean, it's hard to tell now, Dad, before I replace your parts.

Looks like we're not going to get to do everything today, Dad.

That's okay.

I just want to meet you.

But don't worry.

We'll have you fixed up and back home to see.

Oh, man. Mom.

Barley. We're not going to be able to get Dad back in time to see Mom.

Oh.

Well, Dad, at least you won't have to meet the new guy.

So, you working hard or hardly working?

Yeah. Barley, barley, barley.

Every time there's trouble, I got to deal with you. Is that your cult?

Yeah. You're going to want to work on that.

No, no, no, no. Come on, old girl.

I thought you said you fixed the van. Relax.

One of yours is fine. Her stomach is just a little empty. But it says we have

full tank.

No, that doesn't work.

Oh, only a few drops left.

Maybe there's a gas station.

Is there a magic way to get gas? Oh, I like your thinking, young mage.

Growth spell. We grow the can, and then the gas inside will grow with it.

That's kind of a weird idea.

I know. I like it, too.

Okay. Loosen up. Hard fire.

Here we go. Whoa!

It's not that simple.

This one learns a little magic, thinks he's Shamblefoot the Wondrous, am I

right, Dad?

A growth spell is a bit more advanced. Not only do you have to speak from your

heart's fire, but now you also have to follow a magic decree.

Magic what?

It's a special rule that keeps the spell working right. This one states, to

magnify an object, you have to magnify your attention upon it. While you cast

the spell, you can't let anything distract you. Okay.

Ow! What? Splinter! Can we sand this thing down? No, it's an ancient staff

magic in every glorious fiber. You can't sand it down. All right, all right.

Here we go.

Focus.

Something wrong?

Sorry, it's just your stance is, uh, here, chin up, elbows out, feet apart,

back, right feet arched. Okay, how's that feel?

Great. Oh, one more thing. Farley! Okay. Okay.

Magmora? Get you on.

Don't let the magic spook you.

Okay.

Elbows. What?

Elbows up.

No, no, no. It's too high. That's too high. I'm trying to focus here. Oh,

yeah, yeah. Focus. Focus on the dance.

Focus.

Focus.

Polly! Stop! Forget it!

What happened?

Looks like you shrunk me. How?

Well, if you mess up a spell, there are consequences. I only messed up because

you wouldn't stop bothering me. I was trying to help you. Well, don't try to

help me. Oh, okay. Fine. I won't. Well, Dad, it's me.

Whoa,

Dad, it's okay. Don't worry. I'm going to fix this.

Well, where are you going?

To the gas station.

Well, I'm going too.

Fine. Hey, I don't need your help.

Fine with me.

need a little break. My baby leg can't go that fast.

Look, a gas station.

Oh, good.

Oh, wait, I forgot.

You don't need my help.

Hey, I don't need you to carry me. I'm a grown man.

Come on, it's okay.

Farley is with me. Yeah, I'm fine, Dad.

The side effects are supposed to wear off eventually.

Do I look any bigger yet?

Sorry. I didn't see you. Do it again and you'll see.

Can we have the bathroom key, please?

Okay, be quick. I want to get out of here.

Okay, I'm going.

That'll be $12 .99.

His head dies right now. How could this bike get any worse?

You know, I would fly us to help your boys, but the old things aren't what

used to be. Oh, that's fine. So about this curse... It's my own fault.

I should be doing my wing exercises every morning, but you know how bad

Please, the curse. What does it do? Right. Sorry. It's a guardian curse.

If your boys take the gym, the curse will rise up.

And assume the form of a mighty beast and battle your sons to the... Well, how

do your boys do in a crisis? Not great. One of them is afraid of everything and

the other isn't afraid of anything.

Yeah, that skinny kid of yours is pretty fearless.

No, no, you mean the big one, Farley. No, no, the little guy.

He really let me have it. What? No, look, you said you could help them,

Every curse has a core, the center of its power.

And only one weapon forged of the rarest metal can destroy it.

My enchanted sword.

The first pressure.

Well, okay, but you don't seem to have that on you. I sold it.

Got in a little tax trouble a few years back, but don't worry. I know just where

to find it. I am on my way, boys. Just try to stay out of trouble.

What is taking you so long?

work because you stopped using them you're calling me lazy no no no not you

ancestors what did you say about my ancestors i didn't mean lazy i'm sorry

sorry he's sorry too you don't need to fly who needs to fly i mean you got

great bikes what are you doing i was just discussing his barley i'm trying to

take care of you and dad and you're not making it any easier dad come on

no no no no way

He's fine.

Thanks to the skillful driving of Sir Ian Lightfoot. High five.

What's happening?

I think the spell is wearing off.

Get out of my face.

Oh, Shantar's talon. Cops.

Pull over. I don't have a license.

My wallet's still tiny.

explain. Oh, no, Dad!

They're gonna take Dad.

Okay, okay. Oh, I got it. The disguise spell.

You can disguise yourself to be anyone you want.

But what if I mess up again? According to the spell, disguising yourself is a

lie, so you must tell the truth to get by.

As long as you don't tell a lie, the spell will be fine. Okay.

Where are we going to be?

Okay, we're taking you down to the station.

What seems to be the problem?

Here, fellows.

Police folk?

Officer Bronco?

Were you in that van?

Affirmative. And we will, I mean, I will take full responsibility for that film.

That fellow right there, so you could just release him over to me.

Hey, I want it to be the front. No way. I'll do the talking. Bronco, I thought

you were... Working on the other side of town.

I, uh, changed my mind.

Something wrong?

Just a little neck cramp.

You have to stop lying.

Answer every question with a question.

What exactly are you doing out here? Uh, what am I doing out here?

What are any of us doing out here?

Whoa. I never thought about it like that.

Nice. With all due respect, you didn't answer my question.

Well, we were just...

Exercising some driver's education drills for Ian.

Who is Ian?

Oh, is that Laurel's kid?

Ian is Laurel's kid.

Your stepson was swerving all over the road.

Yeah, well... That guy's not all there today.

Yeah, he does seem a little off.

You seem a little off yourself.

Uh, actually...

If I'm being completely honest, I'm not super great in this kind of situation,

and I'm starting to freak out a little bit, and I'm all sweaty and weird, and I

don't know what to say, and I just feel like I can't do anything right, and I'm

a total weirdo. No, hold on, hold on.

I think I know what's going on here.

You do?

It's not easy being a new parent. My girlfriend's daughter got me pulling my

hair out, okay?

Oh, uh, yeah.

All right, we can let him go.

Okay, well, I'm just gonna take him to the van.

Hey, it gets better, all right? Good luck, Bronco. You too, officer.

Keep working hard, or hardly working.

Now that was a good cold.

I don't envy you, Bronco. That Lightfoot kid is a handful.

I'm gonna have to disagree with you there. I think Ian's a pretty stand -up

citizen. Not him. The older one.

What? I mean, the guy's a screw -up.

You can't say you don't agree.

Um, I don't.

What?

I mean, um, uh, okay, well... I gotta get going. Gotta get, you know... I

I'm late for work. Sorry, I mean, I'm feeling a little sick. I mean, tired,

and tired. Gotta go!

Man, Bronco is losing it. See, that's why I never got married. Old Gord, get

dependent.

This is Fector. Can you put me through to Officer Colt Bronco?

Early.

I don't know what happened back there, but I don't think you're a screw -up.

Maybe the magic just got it wrong, you know?

Yeah.

I don't know what happened!

Harley! Harley!

This is all just... I'm not a screw -up. I didn't say you were. The magic said

it for you. Well, the magic got it wrong.

Magic doesn't get it wrong. The cop asked a question, you answered, and

revealed the truth.

Right? Right?

I don't know how any of this stuff works. All I know is that everything

done tonight has gone wrong. Yeah, it's gone wrong because you won't listen to

me. Are you kidding?

Because everything we've done has been your idea.

But you didn't do it my way. You didn't let me handle the manicure. You freaked

out when I talked to the sprites because you don't think I have good ideas.

What? Of course I do.

Great. Then I think we should take the path of peril.

Man, I also think that would be good.

Normally. V? But I told you, this isn't a game. All that matters today is Dad.

And right now, he's sitting in that van and he's confused.

What?

What did you do?

I think he can feel the vibrations of the music, and he's dancing.

Wow.

He is terrible.

Yeah, he's really, really bad.

Oh, no, here we go. No, no, no, thank you. Yeah, thank you.

Okay,

I see this.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm not really a big dancer.

Just imagine what the top half of this dance looks like.

I bet it goes something like this.

Oh,

you bent your shoelaces loose there, Pop.

You know, I want to see him too.

Yeah, I know.

It's not fair for you to call me a screw -up if you don't give me a chance to

get something right.

Just do one thing my way.

You really think this path of peril is the best way to go to the mountain?

Where is your magic sword?

It lies beyond those gates.

If we don't leave here with the sword, your boys are doomed.

There you are.

One garlic crusher. No, curse crusher. It's a large magical sword.

Sword. Sword, sword, sword.

I mean, I got this.

How much?

We'll call it ten.

Great. Forged of the rarest metals, the only sword of its kind in all the land.

Hello, old friend. We shall never part again.

Well, turns out this sword is the only sword of its kind in all the land. So

let's call it 10 ,000.

You can't do that!

Well, I just did.

Okay, you had better just... Yeah? Hey, I talked to some other officers and they

said the boys were last seen going north.

Are they okay?

They're fine.

But the officer said, well, honey, this night keeps getting stranger and

stranger. Do you know who I am? Some kind of winged bear snake lady. Oh,

lion scorpion lady.

It sure does.

Listen, I need that sword. My sons have a once -in -a -lifetime chance to see

their father. Now, my oldest son...

Hey, she's only temporarily paralyzed. Hey, you can't do this.

Well, I just did. Grab the sword.

Don't, don't touch that. Here you go. And a little something extra for your

trouble. I love your store. Oh, that's so pretty.

Laurel, what's happening?

Are you all right?

Laurel! Oh, Colt, I can't talk. The boys need me.

Wait!

Dang those kids.

Yeah, still here.

Well, good morning to thee, dear Lightfoot. Welcome to the path of peril.

Not much of a path.

Well, you know, they never really do that.

Around here. So, heads up, we could run into anything.

Santicore, wolf dragon, gelatinous cube.

Okay, what is a gelatinous cube? Oh, it's a giant green cube that instantly

disintegrates all that it touches. We are not going to run into a... Oh, stop!

What

is

this? Bottomless pit.

Falls in there, falls forever.

Dad, come here.

Ian, check it out. This is an ancient drop ring. We lower that bad boy and we

are on our way to Raven's Point.

Look around for a lever.

Found it, but it's on the other side.

Okay, I got this.

A loft?

a levitation spell on something that far away. It only has like a 15 meter

enchanting radius.

Dad, can you believe this guy?

What we need is a trust bridge.

It's a spell that creates a magical bridge you can walk on. Just say,

Bridgerigar Invisia.

Okay, Bridgerigar Invisia.

Bridgerigar Invisia!

It didn't work.

No, the spell's still going. You won't know if your bridge worked until you

on it. Step on what?

If you believe the bridge is there, then it's there. But it's not.

Well, not with that attitude.

I'm not going to step out on nothing.

Now we've got a rope. But you're not even going to need it because... I want

rope! Okay, I'm just saying you're not going to need the rope because I know

can make that bridge.

that so bad? Yes!

Are you still alive?

Yes. Okay, so now you know the worst that can happen, so there's nothing to

scared of, right?

Bridge rigor and physio!

Hey, you can do this.

You got me, right?

I still got you!

Was the rope gone?

Oh, just like the second half of it. I needed that rope.

Oh, but did you?

Ian, look.

It's a raven.

The clue on the menu said Raven's Point.

Yeah, in the mountains.

But maybe the puzzle didn't mean the mountain. Maybe it means follow where

raven is pointing.

Ha ha! It's another raven!

That one could be pointing to another raven. All the way to the gem!

I had us going the wrong way.

Well, I told you. My gut knows where to go, don't you, boy? Yes, you do.

Come on, Dad.

Guinevere will get us to that raven in no time.

You guys are in trouble big time.

No, no, no, Colt. We found a spell. If we finish it before sunset, we'll get to

see our father.

Well, your mom told me there was some kind of strange family issue going on,

this is definitely strange.

But no, dang it. I'm not letting you upset your mother anymore.

Now, you get in the vehicle. I'm escorting you home. No, no way. I'm

to the count of three.

Okay, we'll go. Dan?

He's a police officer.

What are you doing?

I don't know.

Set up!

I need backup!

Run away, Dan!

Even though our lights have been breaking the rules!

I can't believe I'm running from the cops!

You're not running from the cops. You're running from our mom's boyfriend.

Okay, now you're running from the cops.

I shouldn't have driven away.

No, it was great.

Hey, block the road with those boulders. What? How?

Arcane lightning. You said that's the hardest spell.

You are ready. To make lightning strike with ease, one must follow all decrees.

You have to do everything. Speak from your heart's fire, trust yourself,

all of it.

Voltar Thunderseer!

Voltar Thunderseer!

Voltar Thunderseer!

I can't.

I can't do it.

We're not going to see you, Dad.

And it's all my fault.

What are you doing?

She was just a beat -up old man.

Come on. We gotta go.

Wait.

You see that, Dad? The apprentice has become the master.

It looks like water.

So what's the X mean?

On a quest, an X only means one thing.

We go to the end of the water, we'll find that phoenix gem.

This water could go on for miles. We don't have that kind of time.

If we had something to float on, we could cast a velocity spell on it. Fly

the tunnel like a magic jet ski. Well, there's not much to float on.

Remember, on a quest, you have to use what you've got.

is actually kind of cool.

So what other spells do you know? Oh, brace yourself, young me.

I know all there is to know of magic.

Colt, we know where the boys are going. We just have to get to them before they

unleash the curse. What?

Let's try the curse then. The curse? The curse that protects the gem by turning

into a rock dragon or something? A rock dragon? I can't explain it. I just know

we have to get to the boys fast.

Oh, we'll get to them fast. We'll get to them so fast.

And he just drove off.

Huh, good for him.

What? No, I just mean he's scared to drive. Thinks something's going to come

him out of...

going to get to your sons now?

Come on, pixie dusters! Let's take to the sky!

How do you feel about exercising those wings?

Boombastia! Ah, remember.

Oh, right.

Boombastia!

Whoa! Yeah!

You're a natural!

Think fast. Yeah!

Nice!

Careful how much boat you're eating there, man. We've still got to make it

the end of the tunnel.

Good point.

I can't believe I'm this close to actually talking to Dad.

You know what I'm going to ask him? If he ever gave himself a wizard name.

Well, because he was into magic. Lots of wizards have cool names.

Allura the Majestic.

Burdard the Fanciful.

Anyway, it'll just be nice to have more than four memories of him.

Uh, three.

Hmm? You only have three memories.

Oh, yeah.

Barley, do you have another memory of Dad you haven't told me?

No, it's just not my favorite.

What do you mean?

When Dad was sick, I was supposed to go in and say

goodbye to him.

But he was hooked up to all these tubes, and he just didn't look like

himself.

I got scared and didn't go in.

That's when I decided I was never going to be scared ever again.

Ah, looks like we're coming up on something.

The phoenix gem is just on the other side.

Careful. There could be booby traps.

This place is like a thousand years old. There's no way... Oh,

no.

This can't be.

I don't see you.

same shape as the opening maybe we were supposed to step on it what i got it

We made it!

The phoenix gem awaits beyond this door. Shall we? We certainly shall.

Dad, we have followed the quest and it has led us to a...

We're back home.

No, this doesn't make sense. We took the path of peril.

We followed the ravens. We went to the end of the water.

Unless the X -Men stay away from the water.

Or it could be, like, campfire.

It's okay. We can figure this out. Figure out what?

We're back where we started. I mean, it has to be here. There was a gauntlet. I

mean, unless that gauntlet was for, coincidentally, some different quest,

a possibility.

What? No, no, no. This has to be where the Phoenix Gem is.

I followed my gut.

Oh, no.

What?

The gem is in the mountain. The mountain we could have been to hours ago if we

just... if we just stayed on the expressway. No, the expressway is too

You can never take the obvious... I haven't listened to you, okay?

I can't believe this.

You act like you know what you're doing, but you don't have a clue, and that's

because you are a screw -up.

And now you've screwed up my chance to have the one thing I never had.

Where are you going?

To spend what little time we have left with Dad.

Ian, wait!

We can still find the Phoenix Gem!

We just have to keep looking!

Ian!

Ian!

No,

Dad. He's not here.

I'm looking for an ancient gem.

Ah, yeah. We know. The old days. No. Stop.

Please. No. Okay. Ow. Okay. Okay.

Leaving.

Thank you

I know you're stronger than that. My little brother has the magic gear.

Don't hold back.

Hey, you can do this.

Okay, come on, get down right now.

Ian!

Behind you!

Jim?

It's okay. If they stab the beast's core with that sword, the curse will be

broken. Come on!

What I said before, I am so sorry. There's no time. The sun's about to set.

Only once is all we get. Grab me the three bursts. Till tomorrow's sun has

One day to walk the earth.

I am a mighty warrior.

I'll go distract him. What? No.

If you do that, you'll miss Dad.

It's okay.

They had a dad for me.

No. You go and say goodbye.

What? I had someone who looked out for me. Someone who pushed me to be more

I ever thought I could be.

I never had a dad.

But I always had you.

What do I have? Uh, what do I have? I have nothing.

Twitter! Magic in every fiber!

Ignore us!

Bye -bye.

What did he say?

He said he always thought his wizard name would be Weldon the Whimsical.

Wow, that's really terrible.

I know.

He also said he's very proud of the person you grew up to be.

Well, I owe an awful lot of that to you.

He kind of said that, too.

Oh, and he told me to give you this.

Long ago, the world was full of wonder.

It was adventurous, exciting, and best of all, there was magic.

And this was a flash of my mighty

sword. I severed the beast's wings from its wretched body.

Okay, who wants cake?

And I think with a little bit of magic in your life, you can do almost

Is that how you put the school back together?

Uh, yes. Is that also how you destroyed the school in the first place? Uh, also,

yes.

Hey, that was great. Thanks.

Can you go into the park later? Yeah, see you there.

Who's a good dragon? Who's a good dragon? So, how was school?

It was really good. Well, all right.

Hey, there he is. You working hard? No, hardly working.

Oh, I gotta go.

I'm meeting the Manticore for a night out. You got 8113 in progress. All units

report. Duty calls.

Time to hit the trail.

Oh, you forgot your keys.

Don't meet him.

I was born to run.

Now it's a new van.

Oh, Guinevere the Second is great. I've almost got enough saved up for a sweet

paint job. No, we don't. Why not? Because I already took care of it.

Oh, yeah!

Okay, best way to the park is to take a little something called the Road of

Ruin.

That's too obvious.

Wait, what?

On a quest, a clear path is never the right one.

You're the soul who understands the scars that made me who I am.

Through the drifting sands of time, I got your back and you got mine.

If you bear a heavy load,

I'll be your wheels, I'll be the road.

I'll see us through the thick and thin.

Until the end Cause you carried me with you

From the highest of the peaks To the darkness of the blue I

was just too blind to see Like a lighthouse in a storm

You were always guiding me Yeah, true You carried

me with you

From the day it all began Yeah, you were there You took my hand

And when I hurt a bit too deep You watched me

as I fell asleep And with my head within the cloud

You found a way to pull me out You picked my

heart up

You can't.

up through
