Original subtitles

Once upon a time, a long, long time ago

a population of wizards, witches, fairies

and other fantastic beings.

Each of them knew the secret of good and evil.

And he knew how to use it.

They inhabited forests and swamps.

And they exercised their magical powers

with great wisdom.

All except one.

Tarabas.

He is the poison that corrupts.

The most evil, the most ferocious.

The most ruthless, the most feared.

The necromancer lord of darkness.

His cruelty only breeds hatred.

All of us magicians

we are persecuted.

Men distrust us

believing that you participate

of his dark plots.

And soon we will be banned

from the light.

And we will be forced to crawl forever in the darkness.

We must prevent this from happening.

We need to stop it.

But how do we achieve it? No one knows the entrance to his kingdom.

It is true.

Shut up! Silence!

Listen to me.

Tarabas can also be vulnerable.

He too has his own principle within himself

and his own end.

We have to flush him out.

Each with the help of their own magic.

Go!

Scatter into the forests.

Cross the mountains.

Search kingdoms and castles.

In every corner.

In the smallest portion

of the visible world

and invisible.

It's bugging me.

And put it in front of you

to the secret of the curse.

With all this fog you can't see a single piece of dry wood!

I'm sure of what I say. I heard footsteps.

Pss!

It is true. Is there anyone.

In camouflage position.

Let's go back.

- I hear something. - We'll never find him.

I hear something.

My wand tells me we're close.

Follow me.

I sense an evil and dark presence.

The kingdom of Tarabas is here.

It's very close to us.

A good reason to go back.

Silence!

Why do we have to find it?

Even if we succeed, how will we master it?

He's stronger than all of us.

We're four against one.

By combining our powers we can defeat him.

- Yes, but- But if you don't have enough courage

I'll face it alone.

Let's go back.

It's evil.

Our powers can fight it.

He's too evil.

Shh!

Here we are, and here.

My wand is sure of it.

Dig in, quick.

- Dig. - Yes.

Right away.

And now?

There is no sound.

Not the slightest breath, not a sigh.

Let me look.

Look!

What is it?

I don't know.

I'm scared.

About what?

- What are we doing? - Attention.

It has no eyes and no arms.

It must be a huge worm.

- It's more like a root. - No.

- He's a spy. - A spy?

- Ha, ha. - Let's teach him a lesson!

- Soon. - Here you are.

Tie it around his neck.

And let's get him down.

- I see her. - What are you doing?

I can't understand it.

Oh, whoa!

They grabbed me.

Oh, whoa!

Every giu!

Pull!

Stop you!

I'll make you rot

in the cobwebs.

And I will turn you into lice.

We are not afraid of you, Tarabas.

Too bad for you, because your magic has no power here.

Obedite.

Step back.

Give me back my wand. He is my only guide.

Fast!

Where we are?

Wait a minute!

Let's go away.

What happened to the gnomes?

Where are we?

There's a door. Come here. Soon, there is a way out.

Crazy.

You dare challenge me by introducing yourself

in my presence.

Prepare to die.

You can't leave my kingdom alive.

Where? What does she look like?

- Can you see his face? - No.

Would you like to see me?

I grant you this honor.

Look at me.

I am the light that illuminates you.

I am the water that bathes you.

You are the most cunning of wizards.

But you are also the cruelest, the most ruthless!

Would you like to annihilate us all? Would you like to be you

the only living wizard?

It's exactly like that.

And I will be.

just

I will have the power of good

and evil.

It is written in the stars.

There's also something written there that you don't know.

What? Speak!

I won't say anything as long as you hide behind a voice.

I'm not just a voice.

They are much more.

I can be

all the elements.

But if you don't like water

I can become fire.

You are trapped

in my magic circle.

Which you can't get out of.

And my magic will make you talk.

Whether you like it or not.

Do you want me to talk? I'll satisfy you.

Because I'm here to reveal the curse to you

that hangs over you.

What curse?

Speak, old man.

And rest assured it will be the last time you do it.

Pay attention to my words.

I'm about to let you know

of the secret that will lead you to ruin.

One night many years ago

when the witch Xellesia

she gave birth to you

the stars foretold that your destiny

would have been to become the most powerful

and crueler than magicians.

But they also said, that one day, your power

would have been defeated.

By whom?

Yours, old man?

No.

By the work of a young mortal creature

generated by a King.

Before that child turns 10

his innocence will defeat your cruelty.

And your kingdom will end forever.

You're lying.

Why don't you ask your mother?

She knows everything.

- But he never told you. - Liar.

I would never believe the words of a crazy, blind old man.

Ask your mother.

You are useless and annoying.

Like a fly.

Your future is sealed.

Not even the wickedness from which you draw your strength

will be able to change what is written in the stars.

Ask Xellesia. Maybe you will believe her.

If you want to know

your destiny

ask him.

Enough with these false omens.

No one will ever be able to dominate my son's power.

Your predictions are a silly comedy.

Why don't you laugh?

You can't, because you know it's true.

Come on, laugh.

Your son is about to be defeated

at the hands of someone who has already been born.

And that I will succeed where I failed.

Preparations, Tarabas.

Your end is near.

Can't you keep quiet? I'll shut your mouth!

Ah!

Why did you kill them?

Is there a better way to seal their lips?

So, he was telling the truth!

Don't tell me you'll believe a third-rate magician!

Why didn't you let him talk?

The topic is closed.

Don't worry.

It's not closed.

I want to know my destiny.

Swear it to me.

Tell me the prediction isn't true.

You have to swear it.

Don't ask me to swear.

I can not do that.

He told the truth.

It's all true.

Your powers could be destroyed

by the son or daughter of a King.

But I don't know who he is.

That wizard knew it and you killed him.

Nobody can harm you.

No one can overcome your powers.

I never told you this to save you worry

But I always tried to make you understand

that you have to be wary of the world

and you must consider the inhabitants of Earth your enemies.

Better make some decisions

Before it's too late.

We must act immediately.

Wait.

What do you want to do? Where are you going?

Give me some light!

Spirits of the night

my invincible warriors

arise from the timeless sleep in which I have chained you.

And return to animate my stone armies.

I give you back the life I took from you.

But only the time necessary to carry out my will

and complete your mission.

Awake, my instruments of destruction.

Enter the gate of hell.

And this dust, falling

revive your sleeping bodies.

And may your strength fall upon all my enemies.

We are your army.

And nothing and no one will defeat us.

Raids, plunder, death and destruction.

Wherever we pass, there will be no life left.

Command us, great Tarabas.

I want you to capture all the children born to Kings and Queens.

Every son of King, male or female.

Newly born or already living

one of his top ten springs.

He will have to be captured.

All the young Princes and Princesses of the Earth

they must be my prisoners.

Attack the cities and castles.

Be wind and storm.

Iron and fire, mourning and destruction

anguish and desperation.

May your blades quench their thirst in the blood of the innocent

and that the desperate cries of mothers and widows

accompany my triumph.

Nothing can stop you.

And you will not return until

you will not have done my will.

And all the sons of the Kings of the Earth will be prisoners here.

All the sons of Kings.

All the sons of King.

Stop crying, Carolina.

We will arrive at the castle soon.

Oh!

No!

You will not take away

our children.

Ah!

Nobody hit the mark, but it's not serious.

I know it's not easy.

Your arm must be the extension of the arrow.

And your eye is the extension of your arm.

Thus, the eye and the center of the target are one.

Now free your mind

and find the center of the target within yourself.

Only in this way can you not go wrong.

Look at me.

Mm.

The first shot is always a little treacherous.

But not for everyone.

Romuald!

- You continue, will you? - I'll handle that.

- Did you want to teach me a lesson? - No.

I just wanted to give a practical demonstration

to your students that nothing is impossible.

Close!

- Who is there? - What happens?

Lock the door.

They attacked our castle.

We were chased

by an army of warriors.

- Where are your husbands? - They are alive and well.

Ivaldo and Cataldo fought

but those monsters didn't want to conquer the castle.

They wanted to kidnap our children.

Poor innocent souls.

The forces of evil

they banded together to kidnap all the children of the Kings.

They will not spare anyone.

Calm down.

You are safe here. We know how to defend ourselves.

Thank goodness! Your castle is impregnable.

Once the gates are barred, they will not break in.

This morning the eastern door was open

to let the merchants in. - I'm going to check.

Gather the men!

Too late. They managed to enter.

The children!

Ah!

Firm!

I'm not interested in you.

I want those children.

- Give them to me! - You'll have to pass over my body!

Nothing easier.

I think you'll be the first to fall.

You can't kill me.

Because I'm already dead.

They are invulnerable!

Ah!

No!

Romualdo, the water!

I found out how to beat them.

They petrify in contact with water.

Go, my love. Good luck!

It's the only hope.

Seeing the children

they will follow you

and the castle will be saved.

They are defeated with water.

To the children!

Romuald!

Where are you taking our children?

If you want these children, you must get me first.

Let's chase him!

Open the door!

Stop!

Quick, let's get it! He has the baby!

Romualdo is crazy.

He is driving the invaders away from the castle.

But if they catch him, what will happen to the children?

- Our children- Don't worry.

The little ones are not in danger.

Come on, come and get me!

Oh!

Follow me.

Look.

Ah!

They are safe and sound.

Romualdo took two dolls wearing clothes

of your children.

It was the only way to save the castle.

But how did they believe it?

How could they think that Romualdo

would it have endangered the lives of our children?

It doesn't seem like they were the only ones who fell for it.

Stop, wait Fantaghiro!

Where are you going?

When they realize the deception

Romualdo will need help. - You don't even know

which way he might have gone.

I know, however.

There's only one place he could have taken them.

At the river, Chiomadoro.

Enough, let's stop.

What's wrong with you?

We must stop our search.

I'm the one who decides when to stop.

- Now is not the time. - When the river

starts spitting out stone fish

I think it is appropriate to change direction.

'Spitting stone fish'?

Go and see for yourself and you will realize it.

What could it mean?

I see you don't understand anything either.

When I don't understand something, I'm afraid

and when I'm scared I'd rather run away.

When I don't understand something I'm scared too

but to win it you have to face it.

You might find another horse.

Your cowardice

increases my courage.

Don't confuse cowardice

with caution.

- Give us the children. - Never!

Very good.

You really needed a nice bath.

Oh!

At least wash your hair, right?

Forza!

I got them!

Better dead than your prisoners.

The children!

Whose turn is it now?

We lost the children, but you will lose your life.

I am coming!

Hold on! Oh!

Sorry, but I had no other choice.

Don't worry.

It's been a long time since I had a nice walk.

Those tough heads there!

It's your lucky day.

Return to the one who sent you here

and tell him that the sons of King Waldo and King Cataldo

they drowned in the river.

You saw it with your own eyes. Get up.

Those children are no longer there.

Don't go back and look for them.

Everything went well.

The plan worked.

We made it.

It seems so.

And they won't come back again.

But I don't remember asking you to follow me.

How could I stay at the castle knowing you were here!

You didn't think I would get away with it?

- You didn't trust me? - No.

But I suffer when I'm not close to you.

I want to share with you

the beautiful moments

and the ugly ones.

I can't stand the idea

to stay away from you.

But we will always be together.

Until the end of time.

- Romualdo! - Help me.

- Tiramisu. - Take my hand.

- I can not do it. - Do not fear.

I can't move.

I'm here.

It's tiramisu!

Romuald!

I am not able

Take my hand.

- To move. - Romualdo!

I can't help me.

My love!

Romuald!

No!

Romuald!

My love!

No!

What happened to you?

No!

Romuald!

What do you want to do?

- I have to save him. - Do you want to become stone too?

They have haunted the river with their spell. Remember the fish?

I can't leave him here.

Ask the Forest Elves for help.

Romualdo has always been their friend.

- They'll help us. - You are right.

Wakes up!

Awake, creatures of the forest.

We need you at the river.

Prince Romualdo is in danger.

Wake up, sleepyheads!

Did you find anyone?

I did everything I could. I have no voice anymore.

Where is Prince Romuald?

- What happened to him? - We are ready to help him.

- What can we do for him? - He fell into the river.

And anyone who touches this water turns to stone.

We have to save him.

- I'd love that. - But if we get wet

we too will turn to stone.

We can't go in there.

Me too.

We are in no danger.

We cannot become more stone than we already are.

Let's go!

Maybe we can save him.

Perhaps

there is still a possibility.

Queen of the Elves?

One word from you can erase my tears.

In the name of my lost love.

Please talk to me.

No love is ever lost.

As long as the passion lives

in the heart of those who love.

My heart beats only for Romualdo.

But an evil spell turned him to stone.

And that same spell turns into rock

anyone who touches your river.

I know.

The wind told me what happened.

As long as those soldiers contaminate its waters

the river will remain cursed.

But my Elves will remove their bodies one after another

regenerating it to new life.

And can you manage to bring him back to life too?

You can be sure of one thing.

His generosity and courage

they will never be able to go out.

If the powers that nature has given me

can awaken him from his stony sleep

I'll do everything I can.

But first I need to know what spell transformed him.

Come. Form a circle around me.

I feel a black fire burning inside him.

And water.

Water flowing violently over the flames.

But without being able to turn it off.

High flames burning the earth

and float in the air

with a dark evil.

They form some signs of an ancient writing.

Now, the smoke is clearing.

I can read those letters.

It is a name that comes from the depths of the past.

A name that

Regina!

Where are you?

What's the name?

Just tell me that name.

Who cast the spell?

I cannot. That name is forbidden to mortal beings.

It is the name of the one who is against the laws

of nature and men.

I am ready to face any danger for Romualdo.

No one can oppose him.

Just give up. You have no hope.

I never gave up.

And I won't do it now.

Romualdo has always loved and respected nature.

Your animals, your plants.

So please.

Tell me that name.

Knowing it won't help you forget.

But I don't want to forget.

I want to fight.

So, get ready for the toughest battle of your life.

Because you will have to face the essence of evil.

The powers of evil.

Because this time

your enemy is Tarabas.

I want to go home.

Stop crying.

I said enough!

I don't want to hear from you anymore.

Shut up!

Stop crying.

Leave me!

Avanti!

Walk.

Move.

Do what we tell you.

Enough!

Walk!

Let them cry.

Their moans are music to my ears

and for my son's.

Their terror brings me great joy.

And what happens now?

Have you stopped whining?

Don't I scare you?

Or perhaps, is the fright such that it even took your breath away?

It's a good sign for the future.

We will have a lot of fun together.

Or at least, I'll have fun.

Is everyone here?

There is no one left free.

We have searched all the territories to the north and west.

They are almost all the sons of the Kings of the area assigned to us.

How almost?

Two are missing.

The sons of King Cataldo and King Waldo.

Why aren't they here?

We were about to catch them, but they drowned in a river.

Where are their bodies?

- At the bottom of the river. - Why didn't you recover them?

We couldn't jump into the water. We would have turned to stone.

What a pity!

You disobeyed my son, now I will have to punish you.

We couldn't take those bodies.

I told you.

I'm in the river.

It was your problem, not mine.

I'm tired of talking.

Thats enough.

It's not enough for what they did.

Why settle for just one punishment

when can two be inflicted?

Especially, when the second

can be definitive.

But now let's get back to us.

So, then.

How can I get rid of you by eliminating your souls

stupid and useless?

Poor little ones.

- Who spoke? - I do not.

- Not us. - It was them.

- Here are the culprits. - It was them.

Ah well!

Very good.

But how good!

Spies always have a special place

in my heart.

As for you two

I ask you for forgiveness.

The words slipped out of my mouth without meaning to.

It's true I confess.

Pieta!

I got hungry.

No!

I have not had breakfast yet.

In the morning, I love eating raw vegetables.

No! I am afraid.

- I beg you. - And I love cowards.

Ma no, no!

I can't afford them among the palace guards.

I'm sorry, not really.

No!

Your snacks reduce our security services.

Carrots and potatoes are there in all seasons.

And they are always at hand.

Fantaghiro.

I won't move until someone tells me

how to free him from this prison.

Our fortune tellers are interpreting the magical symbols.

The answer is always the same, though.

Only the kiss of a true love

could awaken him from his mortal sleep.

- It will not work. - Wait!

Until you try, we won't know.

You have to try.

It's the only possibility.

You know how much I love you.

You know how strongly my heart beats for you.

May this kiss bring you back to life.

It did not work.

Probably, and because I don't love you enough.

Or why did you fall into that cursed river

to save my life.

The forse, and perch is dead.

Non and dead.

I know he's not dead.

We were together for such a short time.

And we had so many things to do.

I know that inside this stone armor there is still life.

Prisoner of an evil spell.

But you have to help me.

If only you could give me a sign

my pain would become courage.

Besides, I would do anything to free you.

Our love is stronger than any curse.

He's still alive.

White Witch.

Where are you?

Return to me.

I need your help.

I need it now more than ever.

Lightning, it wasn't you I was calling.

Lightning, are you here too?

- Aren't you happy to see us? - Certain.

I missed you.

But I was calling the White Witch.

He can't hear you, because he has lost all his magical powers.

She retired. She now lives in the countryside.

- Maybe we can help you. - Thanks, but I can't involve you

It is too dangerous.

It's been a long time since we did a good deed.

I beg you. We were in the service of the Black Witch.

Luckily, you taught us how beautiful it is to be good.

Nothing interesting ever happens in the clouds.

You are very kind.

But I don't know how you could help me.

You would like to bring Romualdo back to life.

- How do you know? - Simple.

From up there we can see almost everything.

Spying on what you mortals do

and the only fun we have.

Romualdo is the victim of an evil, powerful spell.

But a spell can be broken.

We just need to find out how.

But neither you, nor the White Witch, nor us could do it.

why only one mind

just as evil

he can do it.

Like that of the Black Witch.

But he is no longer of this world.

It exploded into a thousand pieces.

No.

There aren't that many pieces.

And maybe, we can figure out a way to find them all again.

Wait, it's too dangerous.

We don't know if we will succeed.

- Let us try. - Come after dawn to the basement.

Trust us.

Let us out!

Silence!

I can't stand their moaning.

I don't want to stay here.

I want to go home.

Stop crying, and an order!

At least then I can sleep.

I don't want to stay here.

I want to go home.

If I hear one more word, I swear

Of course! It's better to kill them.

- There's no point in taking risks. - No. - Why?

Because I want to know which of them is destined to defeat me.

What changes?

The important thing is that you are stronger than your destiny.

I want to know

how can innocence defeat evil.

They can't kill me because I'm immortal.

They can't take away my powers because they are infinite.

So, how?

How?

How can they destroy my kingdom?

It is better not to look for an answer to this question.

The road to knowledge is risky.

Take my advice. Get rid of him.

Remember what I taught you.

The only way to be respected and feared.

Humans are evil by nature.

And the only way to avoid becoming their prey

and surpass them in wickedness.

If I hadn't taught you this

I doubt you would still have your powers.

But at least I wouldn't live in a world of darkness and silence.

Fed only by hatred and contempt.

Everyone fears you and envies you.

No one can match your strength and powers.

You are right.

- You were right all along. - Well.

- So, let's get started. - No!

I want to talk to them first. One by one.

- At that time? - Nothing.

Yet, this is where I turned into an arrow

I hit the Black Witch.

So, it's clear that that's the wrong place.

When it exploded, its body scattered all around.

Guard.

This could be one of his pieces.

Let me see.

It's too black to be a stone.

- Lick it three times. - It disgusts me. You lick it.

I cannot. I would vomit.

You always complain that I don't make you do anything.

- Here. - All of you men are the same.

You leave the worst jobs to women.

Bleah!

What are you doing? Did you take me for candy?

Mettila contro il sole.

Non ho il diritto di essere lasciata in pace

nemmeno in una pietra? - Questa e la testa. Cerchiamo il resto.

- This is another piece. - And another.

- I told you he was here. - Here we are!

Ecco.

It should be all.

Do you have cloud dust?

And.

But I think it won't be enough for all these stones.

It's not a problem.

- Let's start with the head. - Mm.

So

What was the head?

I do not remember.

It has to be this one.

- Are you sure? - Yes.

Very good. Pass me some powder.

I throw it on top and the head should appear.

Help me, Lightning!

Careful!

Buttons again.

You were really sure, huh?

Always give me all the responsibility.

This one seems clearer than the others.

Maybe, and the right one.

You'll try this time.

Ma

Finally!

What took you so long?

How shameless to show up after breaking me to pieces!

I thought I was wicked, but you are worse than me.

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but ours was a good deed.

You blew up a poor evil witch

who was only doing his duty and you have the cheek

to call it a good deed?

For a good person it is.

And are good people always right?

We don't know, but we think so.

We are still beginners in the art of goodness.

We're trying to become very good.

Spare me!

You young people are always exaggerated.

You make me sick to my stomach.

But what am I saying?

I can't feel my stomach.

I don't even feel anything else. What have you done to me?

Don't tell me you turned me into a table?

No. We only took out your head.

So, get the rest out of me too.

I wouldn't mind stretching my legs. What are you waiting for?

This is up to you.

We will give you the rest of your body

provided you agree to help Fantaghiro.

Is that horrible creature causing trouble again?

Shouldn't he have gotten married and started a house?

He would like that very much.

And what would that stupid know-it-all want from me?

- Shall I be your bridesmaid? - No.

I just want to know what I should do

to bring Romualdo back to life.

You don't know what pleasure it gives me to see you beg.

Seeing you so desperate, depressed.

Discouraged!

Without your great love.

Romualdo fell victim to a spell

who transformed him into a marble statue.

You are the only one in the world who can help me.

And why should I?

Because if you do you will get the rest of your body back.

It's dirty blackmail.

Didn't you say you wanted to become very good?

Enough is enough.

You're just wasting my precious time.

Tell me what to do.

Who cast the spell on him?

Tarabas.

Tarabas!

There is only one way to free Romualdo.

A kiss.

But a simple kiss from you won't be enough.

You will have to get the impossible kiss.

Cos'e?

You must kiss Tarabas.

And no one can get close enough to him to try.

Nobody knows where he is. Nobody knows, not even me.

If it's a kiss from him that's needed, I'll find it.

Even if I succeed

why would Tarabas bother kissing you?

What are you doing?

What are you doing? You made me a promise.

Well done!

why?

- We promised you- It's better not to.

This doesn't seem like the right behavior to me.

Do you want me to go back out there and do harm?

He had our word. It's a bad action, right?

Yes, but for a good cause.

Ah! You mortals twist things as you please.

But he'll hear me. Wait until you find it!

Here, take this.

When you blow into it it whistles.

It will be our signal.

I'll be sorry

I understand that you need me.

Good luck!

To you too.

And thank you again.

Ah!

What do you think I am?

Wasn't it enough to already carry your weight on your back?

- They're full of water. - Do you want to cross the desert?

There is only one way to find the kingdom of Tarabas.

Follow his soldiers.

And so far, the only thing that's stopped them is water.

Without water they would tear us to pieces.

So why do we have such a small supply?

Take some more. It's not that heavy!

Are you sure you want to come with me?

We'll be gone a long time.

Does it make any difference if I say no?

Not much.

Then don't ask my opinion.

At least I can console myself with the thought that I have no choice.

Enough with the chatter. Let's go.

Every minute is one more minute without Romualdo.

We feel.

Who are you?

Who are your parents?

What is the kingdom that they rule?

lo

Is it possible that I can't get a word out of you?

Am I so scary that I paralyze you?

Do you find me repellent?

No, you're not that ugly.

Answer me.

Why do you find me horrible?

Because you are so evil.

Really?

Evil?

You, however, only know goodness, altruism

the love.

You are all little angels!

You don't know evil.

Tarabas.

How can you waste time with these nonentities?

Expecting something from them is impossible.

They will never be capable of an act of evil.

Poor little ones!

What purpose does it serve?

They are too scared to speak.

We will never know which of them was destined to defeat you.

And then, who tells us

that the son of Re

what are we looking for here?

As we know

what is among these creatures?

There's another group coming.

You're dying of fear.

Why? I won't hurt you.

Listen to me carefully.

If you answer me

I'll give you everything you would like to have.

Any wish

will materialize with my magic.

Do you want some candy? Here they are!

What are you waiting for?

Take them!

Don't like candy?

So, some hot chocolate.

Can't think of anything good?

The one you are most greedy for.

Whatever you want. Anything.

There isn't a wish

that I cannot fulfill.

Request.

I'm here to please you.

Avanti!

Do not be afraid. I can give you anything you want.

I'm thinking of a wish.

Bravo.

Very good. Fulfilled.

My son!

- Was this what you wanted so much? - Mom!

Papa!

Let my son go.

And fight like a man if you dare.

- Fight with me. - Mom!

Mom!

Shadow.

Your desires are just shadows.

You are so small.

So fragile, so insecure.

Yet, one of you

has the power to destroy me.

What is the secret of this curse?

We beg you. Have mercy.

Let us see the sunlight again!

The sunlight!

Alright then. You will have what you ask for.

Take the kids out.

Oh! - Quick! Did you hear the orders?

Via!

Avanti!

Shut up.

Here they are.

Why do you keep wasting your time with them?

Why do you do everything they ask of you?

I just want them to stop being afraid.

Be careful.

The more those children lose their fear

the more you risk losing your powers.

You wanted sunlight.

There you have it.

Does the underground world scare you?

I brought you back to yours.

So, smile now.

Enough of this whining.

But it's not like home here.

Like at home?

Casa!

Can you just think about this?

Do you want a house?

It's cool!

You like it, don't you?

The roof is caramelized.

The walls are made of marzipan.

The candy sugar chairs.

The beds of chocolate pudding.

The decorations

they are made of caramel

and pistachio.

It's in vases

they are full of whipped cream.

It would make you happy

of any child.

And I'm sure

that you will be able to appreciate this.

You have nothing to fear here.

You can no longer be afraid.

Instead, we have it.

We don't care what the house is made of.

We want the people we love inside.

Amore!

I hate that word.

Is it possible that only love can bring your smile back?

If you really want to see us smile

let us free.

Right!

I light it.

First, however, I want to know which of you is linked to my destiny.

And how and why.

But until you start talking, I won't be able to find out.

You won't open our mouths with your candy.

I told you.

It was easier to torture them.

You still refuse to talk.

Think about it.

When you have decided to do it

and I'm sure you will

knock on this mushroom three times.

What if they had to tear down the walls?

Be calm.

The only way to do that is to eat them.

And I make it impossible.

I'll show you how.

I will use all my magic

and all my wickedness.

Oh!

No!

Bene.

Now I recognize my son.

Please no.

Do not kill me. Ah!

I am afraid. Bring me with you.

He's not interested in horses like you.

They are looking for children.

I'm not that old, after all.

Shut up and wait for me here.

Stay down!

Water!

Our King is in the throne room.

You have to save him.

They will kill him if he doesn't hand over his daughter.

Stopped!

Attention, Your Majesty!

My wife!

- Calm down! - Queen. - Stay calm.

Unfortunately, we can't do anything more for her.

- We have to remove these arrows. - No, brave knight.

It's all useless.

The time has come for me

to cross the river of death.

- Who are you? - Fantaghiro.

The Warrior Princess.

- Did the gods send you? - You won't die.

- Maybe, I can still- No.

No.

It's too late.

But my daughter, my little Smeralda

they haven't caught her yet. I entrust it to you.

Cercala, trovala.

Yes, it's hidden. It's so small

and defenseless.

Promise me you'll take care of her.

I swear to you.

- I swear on my honor. - Always stay close to her.

Defend her, protect her.

Ah!

Your prego.

Tarabas.

Where are you hiding?

Come out and fight if you dare.

How can you take children away from their mothers, their fathers?

Sovereigns to their people?

How can you be so cruel, so ruthless?

Show your courage, Tarabas!

I hate you and I challenge you.

Accept a woman's challenge

who fights only for love!

Come out and fight.

Where are you hiding?

I hate you and I challenge you.

Accept a woman's challenge

who fights only for love.

Show your courage Tarabas!

I hate you and I challenge you.

Accept a woman's challenge

who fights only for love.

Only for love!

Per amore, Tarabas!

Amore.

Do not listen to the echoes of men's voices.

But that's a woman's voice.

She's just a crazy idiot.

I have been challenged by dragons and demons.

From witches and wizards, from Kings and Princes.

But never from a woman.

Never had I been challenged by a woman.

Why does he hate me so much?

His hatred should be music to your ears.

No.

I have to find out why.

I have to find out. I want to know it.

I don't understand why you want to know so much.

We have destroyed enemies of all kinds

without ever worrying about their whys.

Do you have to worry about it now?

Because now I know the fate that awaits me.

I know I'm no longer invulnerable.

What do you want to do?

I want to go to the world of the living.

To see what that crazy idiot looks like

who is looking for me to challenge me.

Emerald.

Are you up there?

Wait, don't run away.

Stop!

Emerald!

I know you're here.

Do not be afraid.

I just want to help you.

Ouch!

Stop that! I'm your friend.

And who assures me?

How do I know if I can trust you?

I tell you.

I have never seen you.

Get down from there. Agree?

I'll come down whenever I want and you leave this room.

Go away.

Your father sent me here.

I made him a promise.

I came to save you.

Why didn't he come to get me?

Don't you know there's a battle out there?

The battle is here too.

Is that so?

So, you want war!

Do you think you can break the canopy?

Canopies are not my specialty

anyway, let's try. - Right.

So let's go to war!

Do as I say before I get nervous.

Get down immediately, brat!

I told you to come down!

Go up!

Alright then. You forced me to.

No!

Be a good little girl and obey me.

I obey whoever I want. Leave me!

A beautiful pest!

Stop!

Do not look!

Leave me alone!

What are you doing?

Who do you think you are?

Leave me, you hurt me.

So, stay still. I didn't think it was that difficult

save someone.

I don't want to go away with you.

You have no other choice.

I promised your father.

I'm not going with you.

I dislike you.

You do not want?

It's a shame!

Do you know why?

A nice talking horse awaits us over there.

You're just saying that to convince me.

I'm small, not stupid.

I did my best. Stay here too.

But it's not a lie.

I really have a talking horse.

At least, come and see.

If he doesn't talk, you're free to leave. Do you want?

No!

Watch out!

Run!

I told you it's dangerous.

Does your horse really talk?

Chiomadoro.

Dai.

Say something. Speaks.

I knew you were a liar.

Chiomadoro, please.

Say something to this little girl before it's too late.

If you don't talk, I'll punch you in the nose.

I don't talk to strangers.

It is true! Speaks!

The little girl and the! Take it!

Presto!

There's not a minute to waste!

It's better to give up.

- No. - We're surrounded. - I never give up.

I have an idea. Come, inside the well.

This is a game I always played as a child.

Hold on tight.

I am afraid.

Firm!

Come and get us!

There's enough water to petrify everyone.

Study with!

Be careful!

They're cheering us up!

Help!

Ready to jump.

Did you get hurt?

No, I had a lot of fun.

Can we do it again?

Down the rope.

When you get tired

call us.

If you're feeling brave

come down here and get us.

There's no rush.

We can wait.

Did you see the trouble you got me into?

Didn't you say you had to save me?

Take it easy.

Maybe, I know how.

I hope it works.

Now I'll try.

That whistle is cute. And for me?

No.

Help! I'm afraid of lightning.

It's my friend Lightning.

I didn't want to take a bath.

But what happened?

How did you end up here?

The problem is how to get out.

I don't know if you can do what I'm about to ask.

No!

Good! Shh!

Carolina!

Come and see.

Fantaghiro?

She is back?

- Has Romualdo reopened his eyes? - No.

But down in the courtyardCome and see.

It's not an easy task

but we will try to do our best.

Also try to be quick.

We will freeze.

Grit your teeth and trust me.

Arrows, quick!

Just aim for the knight. I want the little girl alive.

- Do you think Lightning will make it? - I do not know.

But there is no other possibility left.

Archers ready.

Look.

Let's get under the bucket.

Look all together.

Pop.

On the next shot we're fried.

I'm afraid of thunder.

I have never heard such a beautiful sound.

It's thunder friend.

Look.

Pop.

Sense?

Prepare more arrows.

They are about to shoot more arrows.

Look, it's raining.

It's raining.

Lightning and Lightning made it.

We are safe!

I never thought it would give me so much pleasure

a rainy day.

Our friends were good

They were the ones who saved us.

- Let us pass. - Stop!

State calm. Farm.

What is going on?

Why did you come here to the castle?

We want to kiss our Prince.

We want to kiss Romualdo. he It's our right.

- You can't stop us. - Fantaghiro has failed.

- We want to try. - Maybe we'll be luckier.

He's right.

Does any law prohibit it?

I really do not think so.

You can kiss him.

Oh! My prince!

Don't all go up together.

- Get in line. - Who among us will wake him up with a kiss

she will have the right to marry him!

What do you think about it?

It's tradition.

Let it be what fate wants. - Oh!

My sweet Prince!

You are the picture of beauty.

As beautiful as a dream

- No! - Just once.

I was sure I could do it.

- Do you want to take a nap? - No.

- I'm very awake. - Well.

If we ride all night, we will be at my castle at dawn.

- Did you kidnap me? - No, what would it be like?

But what ideas come to mind?

So, what am I coming to do at your castle?

- What it was? - A bird.

It seemed like a thousand to me.

When darkness descends on the forest

all things seem bigger, more dangerous.

But there is nothing to fear.

Here it is, look.

Go away, you little bird.

What happened?

That ugly bird wanted to put your eye out.

But with my slingshot, I fixed it.

Thank you.

You were very brave.

I did not do anything special.

Anyway, we're even. You saved me, I saved you.

- If you want, you can rest. I can wait. - I don't like it here.

Let's leave.

Look over there.

There's someone on the ground.

- Do not stop. - But he may need help.

You are hurt.

Maybe it was the bird.

How do you feel?

A big bird of prey

and fell from the trees.

And he cut me on the eye.

Be very careful.

He might return.

He's already done his thing.

Have you lost your horse?

My horse?

No, why?

So, travel on foot.

Yes, always.

Forgive us, but we have to go.

We want to cross the forest before dawn.

Will you travel all night?

I don't think it's wise to go through the forest alone.

I beg you.

- Allow me to escort you. - Ninth! Tell him no.

I don't like this man.

And do you plan to escort us on foot?

No.

Of course not.

Didn't you say that

What?

I was joking.

I enjoy surprising.

Come on, my ladies.

With me you will no longer have anything to fear.

Bravo, Tarab.

Whoever they are, lead them to ruin.

Portal to destruction.

Celebrate the first journey you started

into the mortal world by sacrificing those creatures

to celebrate the glory of our eternal hatred!
