Original subtitles

Once upon a time, long and long ago, there was a kingdom.

But it was not a kingdom like all the others.

Because his Queen was Fantaghiro

the Warrior Princess.

Now that the time of fights and wars was over

Fantaghiro certainly couldn't imagine

who was about to experience his greatest and most dangerous adventure.

Chiomadoro, look how beautiful our kingdom is.

The plants are full of flowers and fruits.

And my stable will already be full of good scented hay.

How can you be so insensitive to nature?

Doesn't the beauty of the landscape move you?

Not really moving me.

Let's say I like it.

To tell the truth, never as much as a nice meal.

You are incorrigible. You would do nothing but sleep and eat.

Come, let's go pick some flowers.

No, they make me sneeze. You know it.

I'd rather go home instead.

Agree. Then wait for me here.

Flowers.

But what will he do with the flowers? He doesn't eat them.

If we had gone to collect some hay

then I would understand.

Eh! But what is this smell?

Sounds like my favorite smell.

Hay. Yes, it's really hay.

Then this forest has something for me too.

Emm.

We don't play jokes. Stopped. Stand still.

Come back, I didn't even taste you.

Come little horse

just a few more steps and you can eat as much as you want.

Come back here.

Stop it, Chiomadoro.

Just a moment and I'm done.

Fantaghiro!

Chiomadoro, where are you?

If it's one of your pranks to get home, I'm not amused.

Were you looking for your horse?

They took me prisoner.

Who are you? Give me back my horse now.

It's a shame

you're not armed, right?

I'm sorry for you, but I always have an old friend with me.

- You said it was a walk in the park. - Thank you.

Oh!

Come on, come.

What are you afraid of?

Courage.

Five against one.

Come on, get on with it.

Leave me!

We had some good fishing.

Leave me!

Enough!

Leave me!

Shut up!

Where are you taking me?

Shut up!

Leave me!

Be good!

No one can hear you down here.

Who ordered you to kidnap me?

Soon you will know.

I should have known you were the only one

to be able to organize all this.

Ehh!

I fear you will never change, Black Witch.

Because I believe in my values, not yours.

I am a witch and I would like to behave like one.

But because of you I don't even know what evil is anymore.

But you can always do good.

Does that sound like something to say to a witch? Eh!

Eh!

Because of you I have already lost my reputation.

If I continue like this I will be erased from the black book of evil!

To tell me this nonsense did you have me kidnapped?

Now that you've said them, can I leave?

Let's see if you can.

What do you hope to achieve?

Sooner or later someone will come looking for me!

It could also be.

Except they'll never find you. Do you want to know why?

Because tomorrow morning at dawn

You will die.

Black Witch, wait! Let's talk about!

There are other ways to solve your problem.

I don't think so.

Only evil can solve evil.

Who spoke?

Who are you?

Have you ever heard of He Who Is No Longer

and the AItrove World? - Never.

So maybe you don't know

that there are many other worlds besides yours.

Of worlds lost in time and space.

Why do you remain with your face covered?

Because it is very different from yours, it might scare you.

No face scares me.

And then you have a voice that inspires confidence.

Doesn't even a face like this scare you?

No, it makes me smile.

You remind me of a fruit basket.

Don't laugh at me.

I would never do something like that.

But you gave me some cheer.

Could you untie me, please?

Yes, I can try.

- Ahh! - I ask your forgiveness.

- I am very sorry. - It's nothing.

Excuse me.

But tell me. Does the wish plant exist here too?

No, I've never heard of it.

No, let's hope not.

Without that plant I will never be able to go back.

'I'll never be able to again

to return to the AItrove World.

- E' da li che venite? - No.

I was born from the magic of He Who Is No Longer

the Nameless One, who travels from one world to another

trying to conquer them all and where it goes

brings war, destruction

dead.

There was only one world where I could hide.

A world where they know neither war nor violence

born on armi.

A world of eternal peace.

A world of love. The World of AItrove.

The collection is richer than usual.

Fish are caught too easily.

No, the omens are not favorable.

You must not hoard food.

Get rid of these supplies!

Ehh!

Let's see what the sacred shells say.

They keep giving me the same prediction.

What do they say?

They say something is about to change.

And when it happens

it will be unfortunate. Ehh!

It's something that even I don't quite understand.

Here! Shh!

They say

that the day will come soon

in which bad fruit will grow from the earth.

The evil fruits of evil.

And that we, we will no longer be the ones to eat those fruits.

And they say that for the first time it will be our food

that will eat us.

Mom, Mom!

Mamma!

Mom, look what I got! Look how big it is!

Very good, Masala.

We will not leave it to dry in the sun.

- I'll cook it and we'll eat it tonight. - Mom.

Isn't that big fish a little too much for the three of us?

- Who would you like to invite, Ezela? - Well, Sarsut.

Then I should have caught a much bigger one.

- Am I wrong, Sarsut? - Yes No.

But maybe he won't be hungry this evening, he's already eating.

Me eating?

I'm not eating.

I haven't eaten for days.

I very gladly accept your invitation, ma'am.

- Come on! - I don't know what my sister sees in you.

He makes me laugh, then he's kinder than you.

Masala, stop picking on Sarsut.

See you later, mom.

Wait, I have to go to the fields to pick fruit.

Who looks after your sister?

Sarsut can do it, since they are such good friends.

Birindi, Birondi, Birindami!

Rise up, branches!

Asteria, wait for me.

Please, let me enter your secret kingdom for once.

What do you think you'll find there?

I don't know, that's why it attracts me.

It's the only thing that has some mystery in our world.

You should be happy with this peaceful life.

Unfortunately it is destined to end.

They will attack us much sooner than you think.

Will we really be attacked?

How will we defend ourselves? We need weapons.

Weapons? What weapons?

Who taught you this word?

It is from weapons that all evil begins.

Weapons are taboo in our kingdom.

Don't you know that anyone who dared to make them

or would owning just one get you thrown in prison?

I just said

Don't say that word in my presence again!

And now get out of the way.

Disappear from my eyes immediately.

Otherwise I will be forced to turn you into a pig.

Beat it!

Oh!

What are you doing here?

Nothing, we were taking a walk.

Of course you made her really angry.

Have you come to spy on me?

Us spying on you? Of course not.

At that time?

Are you still around, kid?

What is happening?

Masala, what do you do?

Be careful, I'm scared.

If you knew how hard it was, for God's sake.

We dug deep, in all directions.

Yes, as you told us to do, Asteria.

But we found nothing.

There is no other kingdom.

Well done, then keep digging

Before it's too late.

Ugh! - No complaints!

- What do you think you are? - We're moles.

Well done. And what do moles usually do?

They dig holes.

Well, then act like moles.

Get back to digging now.

We have to find someone to come and save us.

Alright then.

It's my big chance to see what's under the ground.

Want to squeeze into one of these things?

But you're not a mole.

I don't have to dig, it's already dug.

What if you get lost?

- What if you can't make it back? - I will take the risk.

No, don't go.

Goodbye Masala, be careful.

Come on, what are you afraid of?

It has to come out somewhere, right?

If a mole goes there I can go too.

A monster!

Help!

Help, a monster, a monster!

A monster!

Ah.

Accidents.

There's enough to arm an entire army.

Where do you think you're going, child?

I'm not a child, I'm here by chance.

Don't you know that anyone

touch my darling

and destined

to cruel punishment?

I have not done it on purpose.

So how did it end up with you

that sword in your hand?

Who put it there? Put it down.

But you have many.

I told you, put it down!

Come back!

So much for the prender, Masala!

I'll get you!

Come back!

Stop, Masala!

Stop while you still have time.

Cow!

- Ahh! -Hey, do you come out of the bushes like that, kid?

You almost made me fall.

Do you ride like that, stranger?

With so much open road, did you have to pass this way?

Now that's a nice sword.

Who did you steal it from, kid?

It's mine, you don't have to touch it. Don't call me 'kid'!

I bet your father

he's wondering where his sword went.

I don't have a father. Give it back to me, it's mine.

Want it?

Come and get it. What are you doing, huh?

- Ohh! - Why are you jumping like that?

That sword belongs to a witch.

If he finds out you took it, he'll turn you into a pig.

Ohh! Now I'm scared. Cheer up.

I don't want to steal it from you.

My name is Aries, and you?

- Masala, and that sword is mine. - Oh.

- Hey! - I'll buy it from you.

Mm?

What do you do with it? You already have one.

I'm reselling it, a piece like this resells very well.

But to whom?

Down here no one uses weapons, they are prohibited.

I came to just the right place.

I'll resell it in another kingdom.

Do you sell weapons?

Do you do this for a living?

I'm selling everything.

But not just for money, I do trades.

Barter, do you understand?

Do you need something? Well, I'll find it for you.

Or if you want you can buy me too.

- You? - Yes, did you argue with someone?

Here I am, you have a champion fighting for you.

And it's cheap.

Even just room and board, if I'm hungry and sleepy.

- But where does someone like you come from? - Eh.

Where am I from? From everywhere.

Where I go? Everywhere.

I have no land, no home, no family.

I am a son of the wind.

I go where my horse's hooves take me.

So, what do you want in exchange for this old iron?

Teach me to fight.

This is the eagle strike.

The sword must fall from above.

And it must take you by surprise!

And this

and the dolphin shot.

Quick in movement.

They are!

Right

speed matters. But do you know the first rule?

I mean the one essential to win.

No? Choose an opponent who is less good than you and less strong.

It won't give you glory, but it will save your life.

- What if the opponent is stronger? - Convince him not to fight.

But what if I can't?

Go away.

- Catch it quickly. - Oh.

Mm. Not bad.

The catch on the fly is called the 'cat rush'.

And now let's try the crosses, mm? You try to block my blows.

Shot from the right, from the left, from above.

Ahh!

You have good reflexes. try it yourself, attack.

But if I take your sword, what do you care about fighting?

Don't worry, I can find as many as I want.

And where do you find them if there are no weapons in your kingdom?

I know where they are hidden.

And I don't believe you.

There are thousands of them down there.

But I'm the only one who knows how to get there.

Better than buried treasure, kid.

I told you not to call me 'kid'!

If you feel so grown up

I'll make you a man-to-man proposition.

Let's be partners, huh? Let's go into business together.

Me and you.

What if you cheat on me?

No, I'm the honest person.

Do you think I would have taught you the 'eagle strike' otherwise?

I invented it, and a secret coup.

He's invincible.

Now let's do it again, huh?

'Eagle Strike'.

Slow rotation to the right.

Head held high, proud, bird-like look.

Bene.

Now slow rotation to the left. Good boy.

Sword up and now

What the hell

- Hold him still! - What happens?

- Leave him! - Weapons are prohibited!

Leave me, leave me!

Put your hands down!

Leave him!

Leave me!

No.

Down the head!

Zitto!

Now you'll get what you deserve, stranger

for daring to break one of our taboos.

Weapons are prohibited in our kingdom.

- What did I know? - Eh

I swear I didn't know.

And also teach a child to fight.

I sentence you to the maximum sentence!

- Take him to the village! - No!

Let everyone see what happens

to those who break our laws.

I had no idea! I swear, believe me!

Finish it!

We're not joking!

Stop that!

You can't imprison me like this.

I am a foreigner.

I didn't know about your rules.

Listen. I have the right to a trial. I wasn't born here.

How could I know your laws?

I didn't know anything about it. It's not right!

I had nothing to do with it!

What a mess I got myself into! Leave me!

Let me go!

Slowly, calm down! Where would you like to put me?

I am a good person.

The cage is in the water!

What? No, not water! No, please!

I suffer from dizziness! No, help!

Help, wait! Where are you going?

Don't leave me here!

Where are you going?

Anyone want to come get me out of here?

Free me, I pray you!

Liberami!

Free us both, Black Witch

while you still have time.

She will never listen to you, not her, not the Black Witch.

Don't commit another crime. Don't make this mistake.

You do not know it, but from kingdom to kingdom, from world to world

the power of He Who Is No Longer is spreading.

Before you get here

before you destroy me too

I must be in possession of my powers.

I only have to do one thing to get them back.

A truly unworthy, very cruel action is enough for me.

For example, kill you.

- Don't you think you're exaggerating? - No, it's perfect.

I really don't see a better way

to return to my position as Evil Queen

than to sacrifice a person who is all milk and honey

the most generous, the most disinterested.

Yes, in short, Fantaghiro.

Believe me, deep down I'm sorry.

I am sorry? Did I say I'm sorry?

This is too much, cut off her head!

Oh, nothing personal.

You have nothing to do with it, dear.

You have no serious fault.

But try to understand me.

Where do I find it

another victim like you

and with your reputation for goodness?

Cut off her head now!

Mamma!

Mamma!

Mom, I'm here.

Mamma!

Here I am, Masala!

- Hey look, what's happening? - I am afraid.

Hey, get me out of here!

Stop!

Someone get me out of here!

A hurricane is about to hit!

Don't leave me hanging here!

Are you all deaf?

No, don't leave me alone.

You promised that

Lock yourself in, I have to go back to my house.

No, stay, please. You can eat whatever you want.

But if you only have apples and raw fish at home.

- How do you want me to eat them? - Stay, please!

We'll find something to eat!

I can't stay, lock yourself in!

Mamma!

Mamma!

Masala!

Mamma!

Eh!

Now it's our turn!

Now it's lunch time for us too.

Mom, Mom!

Let us hear if you're good too!

Leave me! Ahh!

Come here, pretty baby!

Leave me!

Now you can go too!

Let yourself be tasted!

Mamma!

- Mamma! - Masala!

Don't stop, run! Run!

Mom, stay closer.

Mamma!

I'll eat you!

- Where are you, mom? I can not see you. - I got you!

Do not come! Masala, come back!

Go back, don't come!

Mama where are you? Reply, please!

Hey you, come here, quick.

Climb into this hole if you want to save yourself.

Stop, you won't escape us!

Leave me!

Search all the houses, look for the children!

It's dinner time and you're not ready on the table yet!

Look who's there.

A beautiful little girl

all good to eat!

Ahh!

Ahh!

Dear little girl, why do you want to leave right now

when is it time to eat? Eh little one?

Please, gentlemen fish, leave me.

I'm not hungry.

Not you, but us too!

What a beautiful little girl!

You must certainly be very good. Very good.

Masala, mother, Sarsut! Help me!

What happened? Why are you screaming?

Quick, get me out of here!

I've never liked raw fish!

We like you though, sweetie.

Us too!

It's true, we like you a lot.

- Ahh! You go! - How tasty.

Come on, let's escape!

- I am afraid! - Jump on! Quick, quick!

Come this way, this way! There are children down there!

Come on, come. I'm on that boat!

Stop that boat!

There are children!

Come on, move!

Don't let them escape.

Surrender!

Yes, let's give up.

Where do you think you're going?

Get out of the way! You come back here!

- Let's run away! - Yes.

This way!

Here, among these roots, hurry! Hurry up!

How how!

Let's go!

Get into our holes, don't worry.

We will take you to safety.

Hurry!

Let's get them!

Children, get in here.

- Ehh! - Fire!

Somebody get me out, get me out of here!

You need me!

Let someone answer me, lift me up!

Is it possible that no one can hear me?

Listen to me! I can save you!

Hey, I'm here! I am here!

Look at me!

Hey, kid, finally.

You're the one who got me into this mess!

Try to get me out, come on! Help me!

Watch your back, kid!

Tiramisu! Try to untie that knot and lift me up!

Not like that! You're crazy? Not like that!

Shut up or I'll never be able to cheer you up!

I'll drown, this is no way to save me!

I'm drowning! Do you want to come and help me?

Do you want to move?

I have the key

Asteria gave it to me.

So what are you waiting for?

Don't stand there dazed!

This thing sinks, it goes down!

Hurry up!

Take it, I'll throw it to you!

No, don't pull it!

Alright then! Pull it!

Forza!

No.

- Stopped! - Stop where you are!

Run away, kid!

I told you not to call me that!

Whatever your name is, run away!

Get settled.

We are here.

- If you knew what happened. - Yes I know. Come.

Wait.

Where's mum?

Don't think about it, we have to get to Asteria.

Ah!

And what the hell is this?

It's that damned

flying galleon!

Now it's not flying.

But is it a ship?

Hoist the moorings, let go of the rope!

You, come down from the mast!

Whoever is up there

is fishing.

And we are the fish.

Help! They got me, help!

Help, Masala!

Quick! Jump down!

Bring it up!

I'm coming to save you!

Don't think about me, take them to safety.

Don't waste time, you are the only one who knows where the weapons are.

Go, I'll be fine!

Come on, haul him on board.

Are you sure of what you are about to do?

Right.

It will be very easy.

Just one shot will be enough.

But why do you do this?

What a question! Because they pay me.

And is what they pay you worth a lifetime?

Ehh, so much talk.

Now you've tired me. Put her head down.

Think about the regrets you will have later.

At what?

You won't be able to sleep anymore.

Every time you close your eyes

you will remember that you killed a woman.

Now stop it, shut the fuck up!

One moment. I have the right to my last wish.

You are entitled to what?

At that time?

All those sentenced to death have this right.

And I, on the other hand, do not grant you this right

because I'm too bad.

Kill her!

But he's actually right. The last wish and the last wish.

Yes, I even understand.

A mutiny. I can not believe.

Alright then.

So tell me what you want.

The last wish is a very important thing.

I have to think about it.

Because I can't afford to waste it like this.

Quick, over here. Don't worry, I know the way.

Thank goodness you arrived. Only the three of you were missing.

Everyone else is here.

Now we need a great warrior.

Where is your friend?

Caught. If there's no other solution, I'll try.

There may be another solution.

Where did it go?

But where did I put it?

Ah.

The last one left.

This is an extinct species.

This is truly the last example.

Cos'e?

Show us!

This is the plant of desires.

I am at your command, Asteria.

Tell me exactly what you want

and I'll go look for it in any other world.

And would this be our leader?

Is this what we send against the invaders?

You did not hear?

You can find what you want there.

And he can look for it anywhere and bring it here.

But in our kingdom there are no warriors.

I said everywhere.

There are other worlds that practice war and weapons

just as we fish or pick fruit.

Don't talk to me about fruit. I'm so hungry.

Shh!

There are many heroes and many brave warriors in other worlds.

Tell me what you want and I'll bring it here right away.

But give me precise instructions

because I can only do it once. - Choose the best.

I don't dislike it.

I don't take any responsibility.

The desire is yours and it is only up to you to tell me which qualities

and what features

should have this sample of yours.

What do you want me to know about weapons and champions?

Give it to me, we decide.

- Oh! - I would

No, don't say it out loud, you have to think it.

Keep it inside your heart.

I can read it in your thoughts anyway.

And while you think, he tears off one of my little leaves.

But won't you feel pain?

Research always involves some sacrifice.

Nothing is as easy as drinking a glass of water.

At that time.

Has His Grace thought of anything?

And.

And since I have no more hope

I just want to die in peace.

Good.

Quick! Before you think again!

So I can't leave

with the weight on your conscience of what you will do.

- I want to forgive you. - But how about us? - Yes.

Because I know that, deep down, you are good.

And then you were children too.

And you too will have had a mother

who loved you.

And who dreamed of a future full of joys for you

and of hopes.

Do you remember your mother?

Yes, she was beautiful.

And how he loved me.

He always held me in his arms

after beating me up.

I loved her so much.

Oh no!

These tricks of his don't work on me!

I do it myself!

And just so you know, I didn't have a mother!

Eh!

I want a warrior expert in the use of weapons

and brave'.)

Yes, I can do this.

I would like him to be intelligent, cunning and act cunning.

One who knows how to command, but who is also good to his people

and loyal to his enemies.

A little rarer, but you can try.

- I have a wish too. - You can't, it's not a game.

Instead Yes.

Of course, it also takes a little girl, and rightly so.

Not just boys.

Have you seen? She said yes.

Think about your greatest desire.

Think carefully, tell him

Don't suggest, otherwise you'll distract me.

I wish she was like my mother.

Difficult, but very nice.

- Ouch! - Excuse me.

I'll try to please you.

- What did you think? - Do not say that.

If wishes are said then they don't come true.

Forgive me if I hurt you.

Can I decide who will remove the last leaf?

Sure, little one.

It's up to you to decide.

Oh, thank goodness, how beautiful. Now it's my turn.

I don't know what others thought.

Think about what you want and you can't go wrong.

- What do I really want? - We are lost.

Then it's very easy.

I wish he could cook.

It may be a feat, but take the leaf out.

It's difficult, I'm trying.

This no.

Not even this.

Not even this.

Here you are. Maybe there are.

Maybe I have just the thing for you.

Goodbye, dear Fantaghiro.

To never see each other again, finally.

Goodbye, Black Witch. One day you will regret me.

Do you want to shut your mouth?

But what the hell is this?

Probably one of your sorceries.

No, not like that.

You are tickling me.

Wait, don't pull.

Hey, who's intruding here?

You have interrupted an execution.

I knew it, one way or another it always ends like this!

I did my best, I was really bad.

Ah.

Well, not too much.

But now you have to pay us anyway.

Do you want to end it?

Here she is.

Here we are, I'm bringing you what you wanted.

But it's very tiring to go back, I can't.

Oh no!

Here it is!

I did it, victory!

Here I am back.

I have the pleasure of introducing you to Princess Fantaghiro.

Here it is.

Where?

- Here she is. - Beautiful.

It's beautiful.

What is this? A woman?

Who asked a woman?

Where am I?

Who are you?

It was you? What did you ask?

Leave this little one alone.

- And my sister. - And with this?

It's not a reason to mistreat her.

On the contrary, you should be even nicer to her.

He is never kind.

And then he always takes it out on me.

I, on the other hand, am always kind to her.

So who was wrong?

No!

I really have nothing to complain about.

She corresponds to all your wishes.

In short, I took it from you and so now you keep it.

If you're the one who got me, I thank you.

They wanted to kill me, you saved my life.

Let's go well.

We are looking for her to save us

and instead we waste our desires to save her.

You're really mad at me, but what have I done to you?

And then what should I save you from?

You are in the AItrove World.

But maybe you don't know Him.

Yes but.

I heard about it a little while ago.

But I believed it was a world of total peace.

It was.

Ah.

In fact there was peace here

before he arrived. - He?

Who is he?

II Sanzanome.

He Who Is No Longer.

What is it?

What happens?

Get that ready.

A storm?

Alone.

No, wait a minute! There's a mistake!

I'm a foreigner, I have nothing to do with it!

But then you're stupid!

I'm only here passing through.

What do you want to do to me now?

Why are you undressing me?

Your clothes are not edible!

But why? Do you eat clothes?

- Come on, let's get him up. - Come on.

What are you doing to me?

Go ahead, wash it!

I can wash myself. Let me talk to the Commander.

Who's in charge here? I have a proposal to make him!

It's freezing, but you're crazy!

What are you doing? I'll catch a cold!

- You won't have time to enjoy it! - Enough! Take it!

At least give me something to dry off.

Prisoners of war must be respected. You know that?

And then it's not even my war.

What should I do to make you understand?

What is it? Ah, talc.

Ah, full service. Thank you.

Am I a fish?

Yes, and flour.

Farina?

No, wait a moment.

You're not going to eat me, are you?

I'm so hungry!

We want to eat!

I'm so hungry!

If I'm not mistaken, you should also know how to cook.

Unfortunately, if what Asteria told me is true

I don't think you will be able to eat.

E why?

Because this invasion was preceded by a food riot

- This was the prediction. - Exact.

Whoever eats, will be eaten.

And whoever is eaten, will eat.

So is the prediction.

Does this mean we won't be able to eat anything anymore?

No, I'm sure it will pass.

Maybe it's all over and we don't know it.

And how do we know?

There is only one way, we have to try.

Do you have any supplies here?

Yes, I think so. Come with me.

I should have a basket of old apples.

No.

To be on the safe side, it's best that you try it alone.

Do you have a place to hide?

Yes, everyone in the other cave. Let's go.

Quick, hurry.

I don't want to leave.

- Wait to close the door. - Certain.

I don't want to leave.

After all, they are just apples.

Nothing but good apples.

Now we will hear how good you are.

They are carnivorous apples!

I've never seen anything like it!

Ready to close the door!

Hold her still!

They're eating the door, they'll punch a hole in it!

Quick, come and give us a hand!

Asteria, light that pot.

Look what I found, the trunks are full of weapons.

This will solve the problems.

They're about to make it, the door is almost all a hole.

Do not worry. Now I'll take care of it.

Quick, hand me the other swords.

Throw these in the pot. The stronger the fire, the stronger.

You go!

Ah, great shot.

You were moving, and it was dangerous.

Eagle shot.

You're not a bad swordsman.

I had a good teacher.

- You're not bad for a woman. - I do my best.

Oh no, look at that big hole.

- They won't arrive one at a time anymore. - I'll handle that.

I've never worked so hard to make some jam.

Brava.

Compassion. Let us come back

from our children.

- Free us! - I beg you!

Let us come back

Why are you cruel to us?

What have we done to you?

Tell us where they are hidden instead!

Tell us where your children are

and we will set you all free!

You don't have to tell them, even if you do they won't spare you!

You'll all end up like me, they'll eat you.

Oh!

For mercy!

You can't kill us!

Who would stop me?

Your mercy, have mercy on us.

The pieta?

I don't know what pity is and I don't care.

As cruel as you are

there might even be a little bit

of humanity in you.

And who tells you that I am

supposedly?

Is it really true that you are a Princess?

Yes, it's true.

Is the world so beautiful where you come from?

I really like it.

- And tell me, how is it? - It's full of trees.

Of mountains, of streams.

And then there are the people I love.

They'll be looking for me right now.

Masala was right.

It's my fault if the wish map chose you.

I thought I wanted someone who was like my mom.

And I did badly.

Instead you did very well.

Thanks to you I was saved from an evil witch.

So you don't want to go back to your world anymore?

Yes, I want to go back.

Maybe not in the same place you took me.

I'm very sorry that I had to tear you away from your world.

I don't want to force you

to fight for us.

But don't force me at all.

When I saw these children

I read the pain, the fear in their eyes.

But also the hope with which they look at me.

And if I can help you

I will do it with all my heart.

Even if I knew

Even if you knew you could never return to your world again?

- But I can return. - No, my dear.

It is not possible.

May.

And why ever? It's exactly the same magic.

Let's use the wish plant.

There are not anymore.

- That was the last one. - We have to find a way.

The Black Witch is recovering all her powers.

My people are also in danger, I must return.

It's not possible.

I am the last of a great lineage.

An entire generation ends with me

of plants of desires.

But you may have some power left.

No, I'm sorry.

I no longer have my leaves.

- They can grow back. - I do not think so.

Resign yourself, Fantaghiro.

I cannot abandon my people.

The people I love.

Please give me at least some hope.

Don't do that.

- Or I won't even have the strength to fight anymore. - No.

You will soon discover that our smiles

are equal to the smiles on the faces of your people.

But I will never be able to smile again.

Ouch, be careful.

Get me wet.

Sorry, little plant.

Don't cry, Fantaghiro.

Do not Cry. You must be strong.

And then look at me.

I don't know where my mother is anymore, yet I don't cry.

You are right.

I love you.

No, then hanging me is a mania!

Pull me down!

Oh no!

Is this the respect you have for foreigners?

I swear I'll never set foot in this kingdom again!

Are you crazy?

I'm indigestible!

Ah!

And no, no. I won't eat you.

You're already too old for me.

I only eat much younger and more tender meat.

That's better.

My soldiers will eat you.

They fought.

And they are hungry.

Why me?

I saw prego.

I don't know who you are

but you seem to be the boss in here.

I can be useful to you.

I can defend you.

Ask your men

how I defended

well the children.

I sacrificed my life for them.

For my friend Masala.

Have you really seen my son?

Then and still alive! Was he able to hide?

- Have you spoken to him? - Yes, and alive.

He's a really brave child.

- He will do anything to free you. - Stop, stop!

Well done, you are human.

Make them stop.

It is precisely to become more human that I need to nourish myself.

But you can't understand and I certainly won't be the one to explain it to you.

And so you have a little friend in this kingdom.

And so you also know where he is hiding.

Yes No. I don't know exactly where it is.

But he knows where I am. What if he knew I was in danger

he would do anything

to save me.

We too.

The children of this kingdom

they are very brave. - Thank you, stranger.

You gave me an idea.

Now I know how to flush out your children.

Now I know how to lure them into a trap.

I won't cook for you anymore.

Ah.

I'll get you out of here.

It's already a thing.

And I'll hang you in broad daylight.

Wake up everyone! We need to hurry!

They want to hang the stranger outside their galleon.

How do you know?

I managed to get inside the ship, so I heard them.

I saw that they are preparing four gallows in the clearing

which is located right in front of the galleon.

And if there are four gallows, I don't think they'll just hang him.

I need weapons. A bow, arrows.

We're coming with you.

No, it's better for you to stay here with the children.

You couldn't help me.

- Where can I find horses? - I'll handle that.

But to fight I would need men's clothes.

I think there are some old clothes in the mill.

- Then I'll see you at the mill. - Yes, but be careful.

How do I get to the mill?

Your guido io.

It won't take long, you'll see.

Your world is so beautiful.

How can there be evil in a place like this?

In fact, before they got here

these cursed invaders, there was no evil.

But quick, quick. By this way.

Oh!

Run!

Let's see'.

This no.

Not even this.

Maybe this.

And this too.

Ah!

If this isn't bad luck.

Bad luck has nothing to do with it.

Who are you?

How can you read my thoughts?

I'm a worm.

I'm here inside the pieces of wood from the chair you broke.

How cute.

- You're almost invisible. - Yes, it's true, I'm small.

But that doesn't mean you have to take advantage of it.

And don't let it ever cross your mind

to come and live here.

And above all, don't try to chase us away from this furniture

of precious wood.

This good wood was obtained from the magic trees

that once grew in these woods.

I have no intention of chasing anyone away.

I'm only here passing through, at least I hope so.

The weapons are coming.

But what are you doing there on the ground, talking to yourself?

No, I was talking to woodworms.

This is nice.

Since when do woodworms talk?

If moles can talk, we can talk too.

- Yes, but you would do well to keep quiet. - Why?

Because we have more important and useful things to do

than talking to useless beings like you.

It's not nice for you to offend them.

And then I'm in their house.

It takes respect.

Sorry, he's quite nervous.

And he has a good reason.

- Here, here is your bow. - And the arrows. - The sword.

Didn't I tell you to stay with Asteria?

Yes, but who accompanied them?

Fantaghiro, are you ready? I got four horses.

Quick, everyone out so I can change.

Quick, come on.

Leave me!

- Come on, move, walk! - Damn you!

- No. - Ask for mercy!

No no!

- Leave me! - Don't scream.

They hope your screams will attract your children.

We'll flush them out myself anyway!

Bene.

You really don't want to scream, huh? Then I'll scream for you.

Children of the AItrove World!

Four of your fathers are about to be hanged!

There are three of them, I have no children!

Put the noose around his neck!

- So he'll keep quiet. - Don't come here!

You couldn't do anything anyway!

- It's a trap! - I said stop!

You don't have children, mind your own business!

It's true, you had nothing to do with it. What do you gain from your courage?

They'll hang you myself anyway.

But what courage?

And then, between the two of us, I'm pissing myself off.

It just is.

They won't show up anyway.

We'll find another way to flush them out.

Hang them!

Have a good trip, gentlemen. You come down here, don't you?

Who did it?

Stop them, don't let them get closer!

Jump on the horses!

Here!

Come on, quickly!

Archers, hit them!

Jump his!

Especially that knight with the red cloak

that ruined my party!

Pull!

We can not stop? I can't stand it anymore, boy.

Not before reaching the mill forest.

We are already in a forest.

But I no longer know where the hollow tree is.

Ah, you're a foreigner too, eh? I knew it from how you fight.

Behold, from this tree you can enter underground.

Ah.

With a day like this

who wants to lock themselves underground?

But the children are in there.

By any chance and also the hideout where they keep all the weapons?

And why?

So let's go, and now.

Are you good with the sword? You could be of use to me.

Yes, I can handle it.

In fact, not to brag but I'm the best blade in the area.

Around here it doesn't take that long.

Yes, I'm not as good as you.

We can see that you are a battle-ready male.

If it was meant as a compliment, thank you.

Who did you fight for?

Per me.

Only for me.

Then you won't have made much money.

Do you fight for money?

And for what other reason?

Ever heard of ideals?

'Idea' what? We don't speak the same language, boy.

Since you saved my life

- There's no need for you to pay me. - No, I wanted

Don't even thank me.

I just wanted to tell you that my name is Aries.

And what is yours?

- You can keep calling me 'boy'. - Well.

Ah.

It's strange, there's no one left.

- Maybe they went to meet the prisoners I freed. - No

Or maybe they're waiting for us at the mill.

It is not possible.

We have to go back.

But this is a real treasure.

Who would have imagined it?

Asteria went to look for all the weapons in the kingdom.

And so he wouldn't use them, he hid them here.

So they don't need them. Do you know what it means for us?

Because we two become partners, boy.

- I don't want to do everything alone. - What to do?

- We'll take weapons, right? - In other words do we steal them?

No, don't overdo it.

You said they don't need them.

What do you think we should do?

Come on tell me.

We sell them and get rich.

And if we get rich

I mean, do you have any idea what kind of life we �??�??live?

No, but you can explain it to me.

A life of leisure.

We lie down in the sun. Good wine, beautiful women.

I know a kingdom where I really spent

the best days of my life.

- I don't know if you understand me. - Not exactly.

Hey, heart of ice.

Do I have to teach you everything?

What's up? Have you only fought wars in your life?

But if you listen to me

you'll see that you learn easily.

I know two blondes who for someone like you

they would do somersaults.

Truly?

And did they make them for you too?

Sure, yes.

For you or for your money?

What's the matter with you, boy? You offend me like that.

Should they be thrown away?

I am the prize.

But of course a little money

they make the party happier.

And with all this stuff to sell you celebrate for life.

Posale.

Put those weapons down and then walk away!

Have you gone crazy?

I thought you wanted to help me save these people.

But since you only want to rob her, you better leave

We can't do anything with that monster.

I saw it.

I've been there, that eats children.

And to think that Masala wanted to save you at all costs.

Because I taught him to fight.

I'm not what you think.

But you're not what I thought either.

I am sorry.

Now you can't call me 'boy' anymore.

Now I understand why I immediately liked you.

A woman shouldn't play with guns.

Really?

And what should he do?

He should only think about love.

If that were the case

you would still be hanging from that gallows now.

First you save me and then you want to kill me?

Can you explain to me why?

I didn't know you before.

At that time

let's get to know each other better.

No, don't move.

I like this position.

Enjoyable.

What happened?

Aries, answer.

He fainted.

It's better to tie it up.

How do we bond?

As it deserves.

But he saved my life, and a friend of mine.

He was only interested in weapons.

I do not believe you.

Here's the proof. Will you believe me next time?

- Do you know how to use weapons? - Not much, but we can learn.

I understand, I'll do it alone.

But not now, you will be exhausted.

I know you're angry.

But for now it's best if you stay tied up.

Maybe you're right, but I disagree.

Do you mean you'll try to free him?

No, but only because we have to trust you.

Very good, that's enough for me.

So, you missed them.

They evaporated

in nothing. But if you order me, we will continue to look for them.

No, there's no need.

Sooner or later they will come to us.

How long can they last without eating?

And then they know the fate that awaits the prisoners.

Every pang of hunger tonight will remind him

the end their relatives and friends are about to face.

Sooner or later they will try to free them.

They will come to us

and so soon I too will be able to again

eat.

- Oh. - Are you crazy?

Yes, from hunger. I would eat anything.

So bite your nails and go to sleep.

Don't you understand that if you try to touch her

will she eat you?

Pss!

Psst! Hey, come here. Here!

Are you sure I can eat my nails?

- Stop it, go to sleep. - Oh.

If you free me, I will help you free your mother.

My mother? Have you seen my mother?

Yes, and on the galleon. I talked to her.

But cut these ropes, free me!

Well, I see I can take your word for it.

He saw my mother, he will help me free her.

Give me that dagger.

Come on, give it to me, please.

Since when do you take orders from a woman?

You know that the only thing he's interested in are weapons.

Give me that dagger.

I know, but then let's go and free her.

Yes, but first we need to come up with a plan

or they'll get us.

And while you sit here studying a nice strategy

do you know what they do?

They eat.

And do you know what they eat?

Shut up! Do you want to terrorize him?

Do you find it nice to say these things to a child?

I only told the truth.

You need to know what's going on.

You don't have enough guts

to face them alone.

Yes. To free you

I came with an army.

It wasn't that difficult.

I will free my mother myself.

If I wait for them it will be too late.

You judged me too quickly.

You'd better sleep.

I never sleep when I have a beautiful woman like you

who is lying next to me.

Do you want me to tie your mouth too?

I think you like me a little.

But really?

Because otherwise you wouldn't have gotten angry

and you wouldn't have tried to make me harmless

with all this rope.

It doesn't work for me.

You're just a thief and a presumptuous one at that.

There are plenty of others

bad things, right?

But why did I become like this? Think about it a bit.

Did I have a father who educated me? No.

And a mother who loved me?

No.

I don't even know where I'm from.

How can I find out where I'm going?

I don't have a home waiting for me

nor someone who loves me. I don't have anything.

I didn't have anything. And everything I learned

I learned it myself.

- Don't try to pity me. - Of course not.

Because the Princess

can't even imagine a life like mine.

And how was yours?

You never had to

conquer nothing.

You have always been served

revered, loved.

Because you always had someone who loved you.

It is not so?

Yes, and you can't know now how much I miss it.

So why are you risking your life here?

Do you want the love of the whole world?

Isn't what you have enough?

Return to your kingdom.

If only I could.

Wait.

Where are you going?

I was just saying.

Why do you have such sad eyes?

I'm thinking about my love.

To my kingdom and to all those I love.

Do you miss them a lot?

Very, very much.

And this pain even takes away my strength.

And if that pain goes away

would you feel a little calmer?

Sure.

But it's impossible.

Because this pain is part of me.

What can I do to get you through?

Unfortunately, there is very little that can be done now.

You can't do anything.

I have nowhere left to return.

And I have no more hope.

Well, but now you have the rest of us.

Yes, but when it's all over

this story will be nothing more than a horrible dream for you.

But what will happen to me?

I can't help but resign myself.

It's terrible to think that the only hope

is that of giving up.

Sorry, I didn't mean to make you sad.

And I promise you that tomorrow at the latest I will smile again.

This smell is familiar to me.

Oh you are.

It's just the smell of a beautiful baby.

It's really good.

But maybe it's just hunger.

Maybe I'm imagining it.

No!

I really feel it.

This is just the smell of a nice clean baby.

Where are you beautiful clean child?

Where are you?

I feel your rosy skin

just washed.

I can smell you.

No.

Now it's gone.

Then it's really hunger.

But now I smell a dirty smell.

But what a bad smell.

But it's not just any dirt.

That and the smell of dirty baby skin.

Before I eat it, I wash it.

But what is it? I am going crazy!

My nose is acting up.

I hear children everywhere.

Dirty, clean.

clean

He's a clean baby!

But no, he disappeared.

Clean baby, what do you do?

Do you play with me or against me?

Eh?

Are you an invisible child?

Where are you hiding?

Here it is!

Now I hear that other one.

The dirty one.

We're finally eating!

Who is?

Asteria.

Can we take Fantaghiro's pain away?

What pain?

Think about his world.

Nostalgia makes her suffer greatly.

And then she's also worried.

Why does this fill her with so much pain

who doesn't know if he'll be able to fight tomorrow.

But he has to do it.

I know.

But if we can't take away that pain

Alright then.

I can't find it.

Ah, the memory. Where is it?

Ah, here it is.

It's this one.

The memosughe.

But they are very funny. And what do they do?

They suck up any feelings from the past.

And afterwards one doesn't remember anything?

Oh no.

You remember everything and everyone.

But you don't remember

what you felt for them.

You don't erase people or facts.

But only the memory of the feelings you had for them.

And so naturally it also erases the pain.

Let's go ask her if she wants them.

No, I don't think he would want them.

But I'm sure he will suffer less and fight better.

Now stay here.

I think it's best if you don't see what I'm about to do.

Forgive me, Fantaghiro.

What happens to me?

I know you're angry now.

But tomorrow you won't even remember this anger anymore.

From tomorrow

you will have new feelings.

You will be able to love again.

But above all you will agree to stay in this new world

with much more serenity.

No I do not want to!

Feelings from the past

from today on they will leave you.

But you won't lose them.

Because they will be absorbed into these small animals.

And I will keep them for you forever.

My father.

My sisters.

Romualdo, Tarabas.

Don't go away, don't go.

It's all so far away.

Always.

Forever.

Ah.

Excuse me.

But starting tomorrow

you can start thinking about this

like your world.

And you can consider it your home.
