Previously on The Mighty Nein.

Have you heard of the Soltrys Academy?

It is an excellent school.

The teachers are another story.

You ever been to a Cobalt Soul Library?

Nein.

Hello, old friend.

How did you lose your magic?

Someone took it from me.

Did you kill them?

Not yet.

Volstruckers. All we know is they're trained by someone in the server's

assembly. I seek one of your prisoners.

Nein, not the necklace. I need it. We are all in great danger.

She found me.

Let me tell you a story.

Frühstück! Guten Morgen, Mutter.

Wo ist Vater?

Wildschweine haben den Zaun wieder zerstört.

Ich werde ihn holen, bevor euer vorzüglicher Haferbrei kalt wird.

Ach, komm.

Danke, kleiner Funke.

Links!

Links!

Hier,

lass mich helfen.

Nichts für ungut, Kleine, aber ich denke nicht, dass du es besser kannst.

Sohn, du hast einen Trump in den Ärmel?

In den Taschen.

Genau genommen.

Nun bleibt genau so.

Oh Wunderbar, was diese alles mit Talent und ein paar alten Büchern machen kann.

Oh, das ist eine schicke Karre.

Was macht denn das Königreich so weit hier draußen?

I presume this is your work. Pardon me.

Is there some kind of problem?

How rude of me.

Trent Ickithon. I am a professor at the Solstice Academy.

Give him the hand.

Apologies, my lord.

We don't often get visitors of your standing.

Oh, I am no lord.

Merely a practitioner of the arcane arts.

Aber ich habe gehört, dass da ein Bauerssohn in den Feldern von Zemniseide

Gabe für Magie habe.

Dieser Umwandlungszauber erzeugt von Vervollkommnung in hohem Maße.

Er steckt also nicht in Schwierigkeiten?

Nein.

Nein.

Ganz im Gegenteil.

Es ist eine Weile her, seit ich das letzte Mal eine hausgemachte Mahlzeit

Ah, dein Werk, nehme ich an?

Es war ein Versieren.

Arkanfeuer.

Bedauerlicherweise hatte euer Ziegel nicht die geringste Chance.

Arkanfeuer brennt heißer als natürliche Flammen.

Solch einen Zauber ohne Ausbildung heraufzubeschwören, das ist vorbildlich

brennen. Es war nur an einem Burg, mein Herr.

Ah, jeder kann die Worte lesen, aber sie zu verstehen...

Ich glaube, du wirst an der Soltrys Akademie großen Erfolg haben.

Ich weiß das zu schätzen, mein Herr.

Jedoch werde ich hier gebraucht.

Wir haben das bereits besprochen.

Das Schulgeld ist... Wir könnten Vieh auf den Markt bringen?

Geliebte. Wir würden Brenn nie vom Dienste des Königreichs zurückhalten

Nun gut. Ich bin zuversichtlich, dass Brenn's Talent ihm ein Stipendium

wird. Und wenn er das Studium abschließt, wird er mehr als genug

für Aushilfen am Hofe aufzukommen.

Blöde... Nein!

Entschuldigen Sie, mein Herr. Er hat das noch nie zuvor getan.

Es macht nichts.

Guck mal.

Alles besser.

In meiner Hand.

I'll see

you next

time.

Aldrich, Hermann Ruth, willkommen zur Soltris Akademie und zum Rest deines

Lebens. Wein, Junge!

Oh, hello.

Hello yourself.

I'm Archie. The big lank is Erdwolf. Come on in.

So, what's your name?

Bren!

You're a long way from home.

Who the hell is she?

Why do people keep trying to kill us in this goddamn town?

This is not a fight we can win. We need to run.

No chance. This fucker's been following me for weeks.

If we're gonna do this, we need a plan.

Molly, you and I... Oh,

it's an avalanche board!

You wanna fight?

I'm happy to oblige.

Wow,

that is

actually really cool.

Get Sailor Boy on his feet. We'll buy you time.

Is it bad?

That is so negative.

How about we just say impressively gruesome? Could you pick a word? Get on

it!

This bitch.

I don't do magic.

Payback's a bitch, isn't it?

The bug's gone.

Well, we won.

Hooray.

Normally, I'd love drawing a crowd. But perhaps we should get the fuck out of

town. What about God Girl?

I've got more than a few questions for her.

More town scar. We'll be here any minute.

Oh, Caleb and I saw an abandoned farm.

Fine.

Load up.

The fuck, man? We need her alive.

My amulet.

Give it to me.

More like his chicken legs were too slow.

Library? Lost track of time.

Let us begin.

Combat magic can be entirely unpredictable.

In battle, you may find yourself distracted, confounded.

But above all else, you must protect yourself.

Line up, please.

Now, your task is a simple one.

Come, join me here.

The first three students who do, pass.

So rest fail.

Come.

Surely one of you can reach me.

Unlucky. What the hell?

Traps. He's testing us.

You see that root?

Yeah, use the other.

All right.

Race you, chicken legs.

Nice. That's how you do it.

Well done.

Thank you, Martha.

Brand figured it out.

Distract, confound, protect yourself.

You gave us the solution right at the start.

These students have displayed a wisdom I have been trying to impart all

semester. In the service of our empire, you will be faced with choices that seem

questionable. But as you saw today, you must do whatever it takes to succeed.

Class dismissed.

A moment.

I have a special task for you three.

Should we at least wrap her wounds? No.

Are you okay?

Maybe we should find you a doctor.

I'll be fine after a good night's sleep.

Was that everything you needed?

You did very well, yeah.

And what does it mean that she broke your amulet?

Yeah, Caleb.

What does it mean?

That we are not safe.

Any of us.

I also find it quite interesting that this woman has been tracking you. Yeah.

Not that it's your business.

But I think she's tangled up in an explosion at the border.

The Kreen and Empire are always trying to kill each other.

Not like this.

Monk's right.

Last couple towns we played, folks were on edge.

Don't you feel it?

War's brewing.

I can feel when my purse is empty.

And we haven't had a sold -out show in months.

Not to the one you fucked up, thank you very much.

That tent exploring was cool, though.

Point is, with war comes assassins.

Spies.

Secret empire agents like this bitch.

You are correct.

She is too dangerous to let live.

Are you suggesting we execute her?

Or maybe we'll talk to her and she'll see how cool we are and become our

you don't know?

Well, ladies and gents, misfits and malcontents, our traveling troop has

its destination.

You could have just said we're here.

Let's get Little Miss Cockroach in a chair.

Oh, can I come? I've always wanted a three -fingered nail full. I go where

goes. This isn't a damn social club.

She's right.

But I should at least be there in case you need backup with...

You're looking much greener than usual. Come on, Ford. Let's find you a bed. No

arguing.

Um,

Caleb, you sure you're all right?

You seem tense.

More than usual.

Go help this, uh... You have a gift for toxins and the like.

You can help.

Okay. Use your reed if you need me.

I'm watching you, Undercut.

Dunker, go.

So what is our plan?

She is a wizard like me.

Perhaps I can assist with the interrogation.

Fine. Look, maybe we try the old good monk, bad monk. I'm bad monk.

Obviously.

Oh, Molly, he's burning up.

I can heal cuts and bruises, but not poison.

Traveler, please, I don't want Ford to D .I .E.

Oh, get out of the way!

I can't see here.

The poison may be magic, but it resembles adder venom.

You can make a home remedy with basilisk, Tone. Okay. Where do we find

basilisk? An eye called Idvon cutting out its tongue. It's a plant.

That is disappointing.

Look, it must grow nearby.

These little yellow flowers have antiseptic properties.

We need enough to brew a tea or the corruption will spread and he'll... D -I

You guys know I can spell, right?

I didn't, actually.

And do you really trust the goblin?

He's got a point.

No, not wouldn't lie.

We will go find the battle of Stunting.

Ford, hang on. You better listen to her.

I'm pretty sure she'd kill you if you die.

I'm sorry about that. I didn't mean... I

don't know what she sees in you.

Whisper the first syllable of a spell, and I curve your larynx. Then my friend

here lights your ass up.

Do the... do the firefinger thing.

I thought I was good, Monk.

You and your Volstrucker body stole something from the Kreen.

And it sure as fuck wrecked Rockguard Garrison, so what was it?

I know you have snitches in the Cobalt Soul.

Give me names and maybe we'll leave you in one piece.

What you did is starting a war and thousands of innocent people are going

the price.

Now talk.

Three days.

Three days to what?

Leave the prisoner in isolation for three days before questioning.

To imagine the torture they will receive.

To break them without lifting a finger.

You are an amateur.

And it shows.

And true.

Or you will regret what comes next.

Think this is another test?

Everything is a test with him.

Guys, relax.

I bet we're gonna get promoted.

You think?

Look at us.

Master Ikithon's not an idiot.

You first, little spark.

It is only a chair.

Do you know why I plucked you out of the Zemni Fields, Bren?

Because you, my boy...

are special.

Even at your age, I believe you are ready to apply your education to the

You mean join the Cerberus Assembly?

Not quite.

As of tonight, you will join an elite group, a secret force trained in

incredible magic, who exists only to serve the Empire.

Just as you've always wanted, yes?

Of course, Manta.

What have I tried to make of?

Oh, they will be given the same opportunity.

But make no mistake.

You are the rising star, Bren.

The little spark who became a firestorm.

Do it as a sign of your dedication to Shasta.

Your father needs you to be strong.

What did your master steal from the Kringling?

I think she gets it.

You should not have stopped me. These people only tell the truth when their

has no other choice.

You certainly know a lot about these people.

Yes, he does.

What did she just say?

Nothing important.

So it's just a fucking coincidence this chick speaks Simian to you? Or is there

something more to it?

It's her plan.

To sow doubt between us, then escape when we are focused on each other.

That's funny.

You didn't say I was wrong.

George won't die, will he? Don't even answer that. He can't die.

The Traveler would never let that happen, right, Traveler?

Right, Jester.

You know, whenever you want to say hi, I'm just freaking out here trying to

a life.

That's the trouble with gods, isn't it?

You never know if they'll be there when you need them.

Oh, the traveler, he's always there.

He's just not always here.

Hmm. You know who is always here?

At least in the scant few days I've known you.

You are so right.

The traveler must have sent Ford so I can have a friend when he's busy.

Huh. Who knows the whims of the gods?

Well, this doesn't seem like enough.

Can you use your special vision to find more? Like with that ugly ghost frog? Or

do you need blood?

Wanna know a secret?

That's never happened before.

So mysterious.

I mean, you can smell blood and your blood turns into ice?

Oh.

What happens if you drink blood?

You know, I'm not too keen to find out.

Those answers lay in the past, and I find the past dreadfully boring.

Oh, yeah. Is that why you carry those fancy cards?

To peer into your future?

Not quite, lass.

Take this group, for instance.

We've got a homeless wizard, an inebriated goblin, a half -orc

Captain?

Right. Who doesn't understand his power.

And a temperamental monk in way over her head.

I don't need the cards to tell me that adventure lays before us.

You people are damned interesting.

I know, right?

And the most intriguing of all is this wide -eyed, talented woman who'd do best

to leave a one -sided relationship with an invisible god.

Yeah.

Wait, are you talking about me?

Get off of me!

Oh, what, you think I want to touch your sweat -ass body?

What are you doing?

I'm trying to keep you cool so the fever doesn't cook your brain.

You're a wizard, sidekick.

You know about poison.

I knew an alchemist once. He taught me a few things.

I helped him stay alive.

Or at least I tried to.

An alchemist goblin.

Well, you know, that's pretty impressive.

You son of a bitch!

Captain!

I tried to stop him, but I was weak.

I failed.

I'm not the man you thought I was.

No, no, no.

It's okay.

No, you didn't fail.

There, there, honey. It's okay.

Spike! Spike!

She's really getting under your skin. Tell me what the fuck she's saying.

You may not trust me, Beauregard, but we cannot do this here. Cool. We're doing

it here.

Oh,

yeah. You two are total strangers, huh?

Spill it. You working with her?

Nein.

Nein.

Then who the fuck are you?

Now that I understood.

It hurts so much.

Yeah. But that's okay.

You will not have to endure it alone.

Master Ikithon called us.

Volstrakas.

I was supposed to be a farmer.

You have a purpose now.

These arms make us something new.

Something powerful.

It's frightening, but it's beautiful.

Pren, you are beautiful.

Whatever we are, we will be together.

He the monk?

Not yet.

Fox stuff.

Remember our first dance lesson?

I remember thinking it was a waste of time.

Who knew it was the easiest way to infiltrate a party? You were a menace.

broke my foot.

And now?

Now you're merely clumsy.

Thank you, Herr Prenn.

See?

I'm not a complete amateur.

Maybe save the flirting for after the mission.

Where's the target?

No need to be jealous, Wolf.

I will let you dip me later.

There he is.

We've secured the key.

Bring the thunder, big guy.

Music to my arms.

It's a click attack!

Where should we go? Try to stay calm.

Only Cobalt Soul allowed!

I'll take them. Go!

You must be brave or stupid to break into this soul.

There is no place on this continent you can hide from us.

So I suggest you spill your guts and give up your patron.

Maybe you should spill yours.

I'm not a maniac.

the shit.

Who are you?

Do not do that now, Beauregard.

You son

of

a bitch. You're a bull trucker.

Give me one good reason not to snap your neck right now.

What do you have to say?

We took our eyes off her.

Oh,

the

prisoner's free. I'm sure that's totally on purpose.

She did become our bestie.

Nope, not a bestie.

You wanted to know me.

This is who I am.

Ah,

my prize pupils.

Congratulations.

Your success will help keep the Empire safe. You have earned this feast.

Don't mind if I do.

You have the manners of this pig.

You think this body fuels itself?

This reminds me of the day we met, don't you think?

Much less humble, sir.

It's a shame about your village.

The Zemni fields are now being used as a rebel base to spread lies against the

king.

Ungrateful traitors. We should drag them out of their hovels in the dead of

night. No, it should be public.

A flogging.

Something to send a message.

Bren, what would you do to traitors?

The greatest fear of the Zemni people is losing their livelihood.

I would raise their farms to the ground, then hang their ashen corpses along the

king's way as a warning to all.

This is what the Empire does with traitors.

Hear, hear!

Hmm. I am happy to hear you say that.

Because you have a new mission.

To put down the Zemni Rebellion.

These missives contain a list of traitors, as named by the king's

However, it, uh...

It comes with difficult news, friend.

You may recognize some names on the list.

I heard you'd wasted away in a sanatorium.

Forgot even how to speak.

But you're less rusty than I expected.

All those lessons never really leave you.

Jesse, when you're free, brew the flowers into a tea and give it to Ford

he croaks. You probably have ten minutes. I don't know. I'll go get

can thank me later.

I never understood why you were his favorite.

I never betrayed him.

I never ran away.

Get all he wants is to find you.

There's the friend I knew.

Master Ikizan will never stop sending us until you come home.

Everyone you love will die.

It will not be by your hand.

The little spark who became a firestorm.

You, my boy, are special.

Enjoy it!

It's okay.

It'll be okay.

I'm here.

The Madfire Wizard.

Rising like a phoenix.

How are you feeling?

Sounds about right.

I'll say this.

We've got questions.

Well, hey, well done.

You made it to a new day. And each new day is a new opportunity to be someone,

well, new.

So, who would you like to be today?

Well, this shit tastes like shit.

How do you know what shit tastes like?

Drink up.

Your friend's got problems, kid.

Yeah, like you're a peach.

I'm just saying.

He's gonna get you into trouble.

If he keeps making you clean up his method.

Caleb doesn't make me do anything.

Really? Because you guys have very parent -child vibes.

Maybe.

But I am the parent.

You do understand that, correct?

I keep him safe so he can get better and stronger and achieve great things.

When I found him, he was nothing. Just a scared little boy in the corner of an

alley. It's my job to protect him.

I protect him.

He's my boy.

And he'll be a great man someday.

Does he know all that?

I don't know what he knows.

I weirdly want to be to that, but also hug him right now.

I wouldn't. The smell won't come off your clothes for days.

I think you are with some words, trash wizard.

You are right.

I do.

I have not been entirely honest with you.

But then, today... Let me tell you a story.

Curp.
