Original subtitles

Once upon a time, a long time ago, there was a wind.

But it wasn't a wind like all the others.

What is it?

It seemed to come out of nowhere.

I am afraid.

And it dragged with it a cloud of black dust.

Alone.

A cloud that dried the plants wherever it passed.

He burned the crops. He dried up the rivers.

And it erased life.

Soon, hunger and thirst spread over the regions

who had seen the dark and icy shadow of that cloud

pass over them.

Look, our animals.

They are all dead.

The people, frightened, begin to flee from their land

looking for a place not yet reached

from that wind bringing misfortune.

No, stop! What do you do?

Don't drink, it could be poisoned

like that of our springs. Come away.

The black cloud!

Take cover!

But every escape was in vain.

The black cloud materialized before their eyes.

And in the center of the swirl of that dark dust

the three black knights always appeared.

The people said that they were three demons.

Even if he didn't know the name.

And he didn't know who had unleashed it on them.

And not even why.

Those demons were 'Famine', 'Pain' and 'Pestilence'.

And all three brought death and destruction.

Nobody could stop them, nobody had the courage to face them.

At least until the day someone came along

on their way to fight them.

Stop!

I order you to stop!

Fermi!

Who are you that dares to give us orders?

I am the one who will no longer give you respite.

The one who can stop your path.

I am Prince Parsel and I want what is mine back.

Or I'll take your lives.

Really? And how do you hope to achieve this?

You are not

still a man.

Courage is not measured by age.

And then, since for you I'm not yet a man

I shouldn't scare you so much.

Scared? And who said we are afraid?

I say so.

And if you're not afraid, why don't you face me?

We don't have time to waste on a kid like you.

Go back to your toys, if you still have any.

Very good.

This is my favorite toy.

Let's see if you like this game too.

Still? Who could want war at a time like this?

It is an arrow from the island of Tagus.

How could it have gotten this far?

Help! Help me! Help!

- You continue to distribute the bread. - Wait.

Romualdo ordered us to protect you.

I'm not in danger.

Romualdo is at the castle and here I give the orders.

Come on, Chiomadoro.

Help! Somebody help me!

Let me come down, fight like men, face to face.

Yes, that's enough. We got tired of playing with you.

Goodbye, Parsel, and forever.

Stopped!

Leave him, and just a child. Go, quickly.

But what the devil is this? Where's the trick? You saw it too.

I passed through them like they were air.

Hey, you, face them, what are you waiting for? Don't just stand there.

At least let me get out of here.

Come on, Chiomadoro!

If you want to defeat us, look for those who created us.

Find the thought that generated our cruelty.

Trace back to the source of all this evil.

Only in this way will we cease to exist.

Who is he? Where is he hiding?

Seek his name and you will find his home.

But be careful, finding often also means losing.

The beginning of knowledge

it could be the end

of all knowledge.

Is it a riddle?

Can't you shut up?

Enough is enough, we have no more time to waste with you.

Goodbye, and don't thank us if we spare your life.

Now living will be even harder than dying.

No, wait.

I won't let you escape anyway, you damned cowards.

Come here, challenge me openly.

Are you crazy? How do you hope to get to the other side?

No one can chase us.

We are the principle of nothingness.

Whoever follows us follows his own end.

You are happy? Now they have escaped.

Well done, congratulations.

But who called you? What did you come here to do?

I had heard calls for help.

And it really sounded like your voice to me.

Then it means I was wrong.

And even if it were, great help you gave me.

And what should I expect from a woman?

Do you really think you would have gotten by without me?

We will never know since you arrived.

Who are you? Where are you going?

I don't think this concerns you.

No, wait.

Wherever you go, you can stop to rest at my castle.

Why? Do you still have a castle?

I don't have it anymore.

The wind of the black cloud took him away.

- And where? - That's what I want to find out.

But to do that I have to talk to the King of the Blue Hills.

King Tohor?

He couldn't have unleashed all this evil.

But it is in his kingdom that everything began.

The black cloud wind blows from there.

It started there.

From the kingdom of the small-eyed people.

From the Kingdom of Tohor.

Backwards! Backwards!

Sadness! Sadness!

The people want to enter. We can't control it anymore.

Do something.

Shut them up! Drive them away! Make them disappear!

I can't stand to see them cry.

And I hate suffering.

I don't want my people to suffer.

It's up to me, their King, to do something to alleviate

their pain. Kill everybody.

- It's a bit of a drastic solution. - Hand!

At least they won't suffer anymore.

This is true, but the people have already been decimated

from the plague that brought that damned black wind.

They only ask for food and safe shelter.

Well? What should I do? Let them in

so that they can then infect us all? - No, I'm not saying that.

There is also another way to calm the people.

I would suggest you give them a culprit.

Someone to blame for all of this.

Someone to sacrifice in their place, you understand?

Good boy! What a brilliant idea!

I knew I could count on your help.

Chain him and take him to the torture tower.

No, Sire, you are making a mistake.

And then I didn't mean that.

I didn't do anything wrong.

It doesn't matter, we'll say you did it.

It's touching that you want to sacrifice your life

for my people. I will never forget it.

But I was talking about the foreigner. The stranger on the mountain.

He may be the cause of all this evil.

Leave him!

- So, come here! - Nobody knows who he is.

But he hides at the top of the blue mountain.

Near the source of dreams.

People say he is a powerful sorcerer.

Go on.

Nobody saw his face.

At night the shepherds heard his moan

which rises to the moon like a howl.

There is no talk of anything else in the kingdom.

Even the Princess was so impressed

who decided to go look for him.

Shouldn't I have said it?

Did my daughter leave the castle against my will?

Who gave her permission?

I think we'd better get back to the palace before they find us.

They say he is beautiful and lives hidden here in the forest.

The King your father will be angry with me.

His eyes are bluer than the waters of the lakes.

I should never have followed you on this adventure. Poor me.

His face is as beautiful as it is sad.

Oh yes? But he is a terrible sorcerer.

Listen to me, let's go back.

They say he has tapered hands and long hair.

Yes, but it is also said that his heart is as hard as stone.

And that even hyenas flee when he passes.

He wears a long black cloak.

His magic boots

they make him cross

a thousand leagues with one leap.

His sword spits flames.

He is the cause of evil.

Help!

There is an intruder in our pond.

Our quiet pond.

The monster will transform us into something horrible.

Why did he come? Who called him? He wants to kill us!

It's here, here's the monster.

It pollutes our lake.

I don't even have the courage to move until

there's that monster nearby.

And then where do we go to look for another house?

How did you say? A monster? I don't see any monsters here.

Just look into the water

and you will see one.

No, leave me, it's not me.

He meant that all you need to do is reflect yourself in the water

to see you.

But I'm not a monster. And I don't want to do anything to you.

We don't trust you. You want to kill us.

No it is not true. Why should I do this?

So put me down, for starters.

Don't you want to get back in the water? What are you waiting for?

We're waiting for you to come out.

May you contaminate our beautiful pond.

I just took a bath.

We know who you are, don't fool us.

We know your name.

You are Tarabas, the lord of all evil.

I was, but now I don't hurt anyone anymore.

This is why I abandoned my kingdom.

I took refuge here to free myself from my magic.

Which only generates evil.

Now I ask to live in harmony with nature.

Like all of you.

You're not going to transform us, burn us

or infect our waters?

And I won't even eat you.

I will feed on berries and grass until the evil

it will just be a memory.

It's not easy to trust you.

Even if your words seem sincere to me.

They are sincere. Believe me, I told the truth.

Make him kneel.

I want to go down.

Now, Princess.

Don't move away, it could be dangerous. Wait for me.

Princess, wait for me.

Don't run like that.

If something happens to you

I will be responsible for it.

Your father won't forgive me.

Please go back.

It's the lake of dreams.

I had never made it this far.

Legend says that if you drink water from its waterfall

your wish will come true.

Princess!

Princess!

Princess, wait for me.

Don't run like that.

Here is my kingdom, you are welcome.

You must rest before leaving again.

Then Romuald and I will escort you to the Kingdom of Tohor.

I don't need to be escorted or protected, woman.

If you two want to join me you must do so now.

We must stop the black cloud before it steals more castles.

But how is this possible?

Are you sure your castle has been kidnapped?

If you doubt my words

and it's better that our paths separate.

Stop! Wait for me! Don't blame what I say.

And then there is no black cloud.

Careful!

Come back!

Parsel, where are you?

I don't see anything anymore. I am afraid! Help!

Let's go back!

How do we go back

if I no longer know which is behind and which is ahead?

And I can't even see the road to the castle anymore.

What if the cloud steals our castle?

Is it possible that you really believe everything?

I believe what the children say.

And you better believe it too.

For now the only thing I believe is that I can do without you.

Parcel!

Parcel!

Where are you?

Romuald!

Caterina! Carolina!

If you hear me, reply to me!

Quick, fly beyond this barrier.

And find out which way the castle is, quick!

Don't do anything crazy!

How will you get there?

I'm so happy I want to.

I feel like I have wings on my feet.

Wait, where are you going? What do you want to do? Come back here.

Let me find it, spring water.

Make my dream come true.

Let me see his eyes whose sweetness

and whose pain I have heard so much about.

Let me find Tarabas, lord of every night.

Princess, where are you going?

If something happens to you

I will be responsible for it.

Princess.

Princess!

It is the truth!

You are silent.

Princess, what are you doing?

Princess!

No, it disappeared. Somebody help me!

No one must know of my exile on this mountain.

Help! The Princess is drowning.

Princess, hold on.

We need to make her stop screaming or I'll be lost.

Help! Somebody help me!

It was the demon of the spring.

II lord of all evils.

Help!

Help!

Save us!

The Princess is drowning.

To the source! The screams are coming from there!

Quick, to the source.

This humidity is terrible for my vocal cords.

The castle? Where is my castle?

Did you see it? Which side is he on?

I caught a glimpse of him, and right in front of you.

Run, the fog is reaching me.

Quick, maybe the guy was right.

We need to tell everyone to get out.

Romualdo! Romualdo can you hear me?

Romuald!

Romualdo, please.

Romualdo answer me.

Where are you?

Quick, everyone get out of the castle.

Escape before it's too late.

Fantaghiro!

Fantaghiro!

My love!

Romuald!

Fantaghiro!

Romualdo, where are you?

Fantaghiro!

Romuald.

I returned to the castle.

No.

It's horrible.

'It can't be true.

No!

Stop! Stopped!

Let's chase him!

Let's not let him escape.

Take him!

Don't let him escape.

Help!

- Stopped! - Surrender! - You have no escape!

Fine, if that's what you want.

I order you to turn into stone statues.

And so you will remain.

Don't destroy their lives.

Well done, Tarabas, turn them to stone.

So they won't separate us.

No!

No more magic.

My magic brings only death and destruction.

And I never want to use it again.

No, don't come closer.

I was finding peace here.

- But they will take me away and they will take you away too. - No!

I won't use magic to prevent it.

I said I won't use magic.

But I can beat you on equal terms.

Follow us to the King!

Yes! Magnificent! Defeat them all. Put them to flight.

What is your fault? Why are they chasing you?

They want to kidnap me!

It is not true. They just want to bring her home. She ran away.

- Why did you run away? - For love.

- Whose? - Your.

You are in love with me?

You have finished sowing death and destruction in our kingdom.

I'm placing you under arrest.

I'm guilty, yes, but not of this and not this time.

No! Let him go.

Tarabas, let's escape together.

Just one look from you, one gesture from you. And we will be free.

- Would you follow me everywhere? - Even at the end of the world.

Lead me to the King, I am ready to follow you.

No, you're crazy! You can't give up like this.

He's less crazy than I thought.

So?

Am I wrong or did you have to follow him to the end of the world?

The palace is closer.

The throne room.

This was my stable.

Here there was fodder and it was quiet and warm.

Cry, Fantaghiro, maybe he will help you.

No, I shouldn't cry.

Tears can only weaken me.

I must find the one who stole my love

my family, my kingdom

my people.

He stole everything I had.

I don't have to cry.

We will go to the Kingdom of Tohor.

This curse began there, and it must end there.

Towards the East, Chiomadoro.

Let it pass!

The King's daughter!

Walk, move! Keep calm!

Walk! Force!

- Spare his life, father. - Stopped!

He did nothing against me or our people.

Let him return to his mountains, punish me.

You will be punished too, don't worry.

Have you heard what the people are asking for?

How could I not please him after what he suffered?

Do you know that it was decimated because of this man's magic?

And do you ask his King to spare him?

Sadness!

Be careful of his eyes, don't look at him.

He could put some spells on you, couldn't he?

Put this on.

Foreigner!

You have the right to defend yourself before it is issued

your sentence.

Is it me you speak to, Sire?

Certain. Do you perhaps see anyone else worthy of punishment in the castle?

Why don't you look me in the eyes?

Am I not worthy of your gaze?

I don't fall for it.

I know your gaze could kill me.

If I am so powerful and evil why do I remain here in chains?

A nod from me would be enough to free me and escape from here.

Do you think he's telling the truth?

I'm afraid so.

Kill him! To death! Right away!

Before he incinerates us!

No! If he dies, I will die with him.

Stop! Don't hit me yet.

And you lower your gaze.

If he doesn't defend himself, why do you have to defend him?

Because I love.

But if you don't want to think about me, think about his powers.

If he married me, his strength and his magic

would be put at your service.

What have you done to my daughter?

You put some spell on her

to get her to say this silly nonsense?

I didn't do anything to her, and her heart spoke.

But I will never be able to love her.

I already love another woman.

Would you rather die than love my daughter?

Then recognize your faults.

My whole life is a fault.

And I will never stop atoning for my past.

But I didn't create the black cloud. I'm not guilty.

But I don't want to use my magic to escape.

I will accept your punishment in the name of evil

which I've done in the past.

Your wishes will be fulfilled.

- Let's go! Walk! - Quick!

When the sun rises we will continue our journey.

Now try to sleep.

What if the black wind were to surprise us in our sleep?

I think whoever stole our castles wants to be found.

It's true, otherwise the three demons wouldn't have let us go.

Come near the fire.

The flames will keep the wolves away.

Usually it's the wolves who are afraid of me. Not me of them.

As you like.

Here I think I will be less cold.

Sleep, be calm. I'll keep watch.

I wouldn't be able to sleep anyway.

I don't think I sleep either. I'll keep watch too.

I have no intention of falling asleep.

Everyone is sleeping. It's the right time to escape.

Destroy the bars with your magic.

Why do you care so much about me running away?

Because I love you.

I can't be loved.

Evil is part of myself.

And I will never get rid of it.

But I also love the evil that is in you.

Don't try to be something you're not.

Destroy the cage, free yourself.

And if they try to stop us, turn them to stone.

In the name of what love can you ask me to unleash

that cruelty that I would like to forget?

Go away.

Leave me alone with my pain.

Who is the woman who made you like this?

Before you met her you were a strong and powerful man.

Now you only know pain and you are afraid of yourself.

Whoever she is I curse her name.

No do not do it.

Remove your curse otherwise I

Yes! Kill me! I'd rather die if I can't have you.

And I prefer your hatred to your indifference.

Go away! Your every word awakens the evil in me.

Don't make me become what I don't want.

Which of these two roads will lead to the Kingdom of Tohor?

- Why, don't you know? - I'm not sure.

Well, that means we'll ask my little spies.

I bet you're tired of always being indoors.

What do you have in there?

They are my fortune tellers.

What is a fortune teller?

Don't tell me you've never seen one. There he is.

Come on, breathe a little.

How beautiful!

And look at that beautiful color!

But don't they scare you?

Then you are not a woman like all the others.

But aren't you even a little scared?

Why should I have any?

- They disgust you, though. - No not at all.

I had never seen them like this.

What do you need them for?

They guess things, almost everything.

They are the ones who led me to your kingdom.

- And how do they do it? - I don't know but they do.

Which side is the Kingdom of Tohor?

What's happening? I do not understand.

What does it mean?

They are showing us the path we must take.

But how?

Wait. Look.

Well, what did I tell you?

Did you see?

Incredible.

Which side? I understand.

Thank you, now go back inside.

Quick, we have to go.

Padre!

Father, you cannot put him to death.

You again? This time you got it badly, my daughter.

Why shouldn't I do it?

The people want it, they want it too.

He does nothing to save himself.

Isn't it enough for you that I want it?

No!

You're a spoiled child.

When you are denied something, you persist.

And when you get it you don't want it anymore.

This time is different, I want to marry him.

But he doesn't want to know about you.

Don't you have some self-respect?

If he is innocent the people will not forgive you.

I'm tired of this nonsense.

Perhaps your daughter is right, Sire.

Eh?

If Tarabas was really as innocent as he says

and after his death the black cloud should return

a revolution could break out.

But then what should I do?

When in doubt, leave the verdict to fate.

Organize a duel.

To duel?

I had an idea.

A duel. Against Rufus.

No, father, not against Rufus.

Yes. It will be your brother who will save the kingdom and my honor.

Your little brother. Your little brother who I love so much.

Rufus and my brother.

He has always lived in the tower.

My father fears his strength.

When my mother was born

died in childbirth.

And so the King thinks

that it was a curse.

He never showed it.

The people have never seen it.

Even if everyone knows about him.

Everyone knows he's a monster.

Neither man nor beast.

It's terribly strong.

You won't be able to beat him.

You will have to use your magic to defeat him.

What does it mean to defeat him?

Killing it.

I don't want to kill a human being.

And I won't use my powers.

But his is not life.

For him, dying will be a liberation.

Death is never a liberation.

So why do you want to die?

Let the people be admitted.

Let the people enter.

Enough! Shut up everyone!

The King wants to talk.

A powerful sorcerer has come to our realm.

And he found refuge on top of the blue mountain.

Death to the sorcerer!

This is why we decided to entrust the verdict

to the solemn judgment of fate.

But if he were innocent we would all have to declare ourselves defeated.

We will be represented in this arduous challenge

from the flesh of my flesh.

From the blood of my blood.

From my only good, which I am ready to sacrifice

for the good of my people.

My son Rufus.

Good. Very quietly.

Lock him up with the prisoner.

I'm here, Rufus.

I am your enemy.

It's me you have to defeat.

Yes, destroy the man who is with you in the cage.

I swear you will never return to the tower again.

Tarabas, use your magic. Only in this way can you defeat him.

I won't use magic, but I at least deserve a weapon.

Here, defend yourself with this.

Give him one too.

Take this, Rufus.

No!

Use your magic, please.

Now stop.

Good, keep going this way.

No, I don't want to use magic.

- Stop! - Let me pass.

I am Queen Fantaghiro.

And he and Parsil, Prince of the island of Tagus.

No one can enter until the sorcerer is executed.

Which sorcerer?

He who unleashed the wind of death upon us.

Tarabas, the lord

of all evils.

Hand! If they execute him they make a mistake.

Let me through, I have to talk to King Tohor.

It's too late now.

What do you care?

And even if he's not guilty, one less wizard is always better.

Let it go.

But Tarabas is a friend of mine.

Fantaghiro!

Get away!

What the hell is this?

Guards! Guards!

I have to speak to the King.

- Stop the duel. - Never! - Make them stop.

How dare you give me orders?

Rufus, kill him!

Stop him! Arrest that impudent man!

Kill that man! Who let him into my castle?

Is it possible that I am surrounded by idiots?

I'm not a man.

And I'm not your enemy.

I'm Fantaghiro! And Tarabas is under my protection.

Guards!

Kill her!

If you haven't stopped her before

do it now.

What are you waiting for?

The arrows! Hit her!

- At that time? - Collect your orders.

Ninth! I'm picking up orders for now.

Tarabas is not to blame for our misfortunes.

The sacred law of the duel proves you wrong.

The duel is governed by fate.

Fate is always right.

This is not fair.

Tarabas does not know the laws of human strength.

His only strength is magic.

And he gave it up a long time ago so as not to harm anyone anymore.

You are late. The duel has now begun.

And now it has to end. And it can only end in death

of one of the two contenders. - What kind of king are you?

Are you risking your child's life?

To tell the truth, he doesn't seem like the one destined to die.

Because he doesn't fight with a rival worthy of his strength.

- Otherwise- You say so.

If there were a rival worthy of him, I assure you

that I wouldn't hesitate to hold against him.

It exists, it's me.

Let me fight in Tarabas' place.

But if I win, he'll come away with me.

The proposal makes sense.

One way or another Tarabas will disappear from your life.

Okay, okay. I accept your conditions.

Let her enter the cage.

How do you plan to beat him?

Don't worry.

Wait, I'll give you a special weapon.

I don't need weapons.

Rufus, my name is Fantaghiro.

I want to be your friend.

No, wait.

I'm not your enemy.

The duel will not last long.

I have nothing against you.

Do you want me to use the sword to defend myself?

I don't want to hit you. I would never do it.

I just need it to defend myself.

But if you don't attack me, I'll put it down.

She was the one who hurt you.

It wasn't me.

Have you seen? I threw it away.

So he won't hurt you anymore.

I knew she was crazy.

Aren't you tired of this violence?

I know you have only known hate and anger.

But I'm not the one who forced you to live

locked in that tower.

I'm not the one who chained you to a wall.

No, Rufus!

You can't hate me!

I didn't do anything to you.

Rufus, kill her. What are you waiting for?

No, don't obey him.

And forgive him the harm he has done to you.

Kill her, Rufus! Obey me!

Kill her! And you will never return to the tower again, I promise.

It is not true.

You're not bad. Don't be driven by anger.

You know I don't want to hurt you.

I order you to kill her, you idiotic beast!

Mindless animal!

Aren't you tired of being treated this way?

You are not an animal. You are a man.

Hands aren't just for hitting.

Damn idiot, what are you doing?

And the mouth isn't just made for biting.

Give me your hand, shake mine.

That's what friends do.

What about this pantomime?

It means the duel is over.

Oh yes? And who would win?

Love, a feeling that apparently you don't know.

Wake up, Tarabas, and it's all over.

No, Rufus, I'm your father.

Don't you recognize me anymore?

You can't rebel against me.

Guards, stop him.

Calm down, son.

Come with me, come.

Chain him.

Look what he did with him.

How could you turn a son against his father?

I have not done anything.

Look. It had never happened before.

They made a hole in my bag.

What are they?

Divinooptera.

They write something.

'No'.

What does it mean?

Which is not where we need to look.

I didn't know that fortune tellers could also write.

Look.

They show us the direction.

We have to follow them.

They won't let us leave.

Don't let them escape. Take them!

- Stop! - Stop them!

No, Sire, you must respect our pact.

I won the duel and can take Tarabas away with me.

Leave them, Sire, at least you will get rid of them.

Let them go.

No, stop, Fantaghiro.

I won't have it, but Tarabas won't be yours either.

An arrow is not enough to extinguish my love for her.

Try to pierce another heart.

Gallop, otherwise we'll lose them.

- Stop! - I am Princess Angelica.

Let me pass.

You cannot leave the palace.

How dare you tell me what I can do?

Order of the King.

Not even my father can stop me from going out.

He finally fell asleep.

I'll keep watch so you can rest.

How can I rest?

Now that I've found you again, I don't want to waste a moment.

As long as you are there, my eyes will not be able to close.

Turn away, so you won't see me and you can sleep.

Even if you don't want to admit it, I know you have feelings for me.

You risked your life to save me.

You're right, I really have feelings for you.

I love you.

So do you love me too?

Yes, but not in the way you think.

What I feel for you is not love.

So what is it?

Friendship.

Friendship? What does it mean? You're always inventing new words.

I didn't invent it.

Friendship is another kind of love, you know?

A different love.

Less strong, I bet.

Different.

You become friends when you share experiences.

And they have the same tastes, the same dreams.

When you are ready to give your help to the other.

Without asking for anything in return.

Not even a kiss?

Not as you mean.

Is it forbidden to touch each other?

No, on some occasions you can hug.

So come on, hug me like a friend.

No, it is not a gesture that is done like this, without reason.

It is done on specific occasions. For example when

we haven't seen each other for a long time.

We haven't seen each other for centuries.

Or when one of the two needs human warmth.

When he is sad, or when he cries.

If you want me to cry, I will cry.

Who is sadder than me? Who has the coldest heart?

Hug me, Fantaghiro. Let me feel the heat

of your friendship.

I can not do that. You still love me with desire, with passion.

Without thinking.

The same love you feel for Romualdo?

And.

Why do I have to love you if you don't love me?

What is the secret of love?

Why do I have to be punished?

Why am I unrequited?

Whoever invented love chose rules that were too cruel.

Or are they only for me?

Hand! Think of Angelica. She loves you but in your heart

there isn't a shadow of love for her.

So this is what love means?

Love love love.

Will you stop with all this nonsense?

I don't understand you. Is it possible that you adults

can't you talk about anything other than love?

When you grow up it will be your favorite conversation.

If when I grow up I have to become stupid and boring like you

then I prefer not to grow up.

I have to see my brother. Or is this forbidden to me too?

No, pass.

Don't get too close.

I know how to behave with him.

Poor Rufus.

You had finally met someone

who didn't treat you like a beast and you've already lost her.

Why those tears?

Fantaghiro is not far away.

And maybe together we could reach it.

Princess!

What did he do to you?

Listen to me.

I traveled all over the world to find myself back where I started.

But this is no longer your kingdom.

And that's not where we need to stop.

Let's not lose sight of the fortune tellers.

I think I've already seen two of those.

Me too, and I smell trouble.

Let's go and warn the others immediately.

Who knows, there might be another war.

Soon! Soon! Who feels the Black Witch?

He will go on a rampage.

Always bring bad news.

Stupidi vegetables!

'If what you say isn't true

I will turn you into tadpoles without tails.

Tarabas and Fantaghiro.

Those two don't have a moment's peace.

What they want? And where did they stop?

They didn't stop. They galloped faster than the wind.

I need to know where they're headed.

Quick, chase them immediately. Move!

What are you still waiting for? It's an order.

We are no longer accepting orders.

Really? Very well.

Is there anyone who wants to return to the vegetal state?

Who dared to speak?

It was me.

I see you all agree. Well, perfect.

You still haven't figured out that it's me, now

the biggest evil witch?

Maybe it's not clear to you that if I want to do it

I can turn you all into filthy worms right away.

I do not think so.

Then you will be first.

I didn't say flowers. I said worms.

Worms, I said!

Fiori!

Flowers! Flowers!

Worms, not flowers.

Flowers! Flowers!

Worms! Worms!

Flowers! Flowers!

You can only do beautiful things.

You have lost all your cruelty.

Where has your evil power gone, Black Witch?

We will call you 'white witch'.

Shut your mouths.

Or I will destroy you all with a single bolt of lightning!

'White witch'!

I have lost control of my powers.

I can only hurt myself.

Ever since I helped that simpering fool Fantaghiro

I have lost my power.

Try to do good and you are ruined forever.

What do you want? What do you think you're doing?

We got rid of Xellesia and now we'll get rid of you.

Wait a moment, we can reach an agreement.

We can negotiate. Do I have to become good?

I'll become very good.

You have to believe me.

Very good!

Didn't you hear me?

I'll be good!

Go away!

Stop, you have no escape!

I've done it.

Damn vegetables!

Let's see'. There must be a solution.

I can't have lost my powers.

There must be an antidote.

A potion with a high level of cruelty.

Liberami!

Liberami!

Quick, let's use this log as a battering ram.

Free me from here.

If you free me, I will be your cruelty.

Yes, but then you want your kingdom back, right?

We could reign together, and then unite our evil minds

they will conquer the world. - Good idea.

What do I have to do to bring you back?

Ten drops of life essence.

And a red potion in a long-necked bottle.

But hurry!

Here she is.

Who tells me you won't get rid of me?

I promise you.

I give you my word of dishonor.

And have you ever kept a promise in your entire life?

Of course not, who did you take me for?

So why should I trust?

Because you have no other choice.

Either you do it now or you will never do it again.

You convinced me.

A.

Due.

Three.

Here

Take it all.

Maybe I gave him a little too much.

Were you looking for me?

You must leave this world, little traitors.

Street! Street!

I told you ten drops.

I almost blew myself up.

Yes, but now that you're here, let's do something horrible.

Otherwise I won't answer for myself anymore.

No, wait, I have to see where my son went first.

Black Witch, tell me if what I think is true.

Lately a cold, dark wind has blown across the earth

which brought with it a cloud of death and desolation?

Yes, that's true, that's right.

A large, dark cloud.

The people are desperate from hunger and thirst.

It seems that a plague has also begun.

Not bad.

Not bad, I have to admit.

Whoever did this is talented.

I knew it, here it is. I have to stop him.

Someone wants to stop us.

Are you hurt?

Accidents!

No, don't think about me. We lost the fortune tellers.

Now we won't know which way to go.

No, look.

They didn't leave us.

What are they doing now?

What are they trying to tell us?

I don't know, and it seems they don't know either.

Maybe we need to ask something.

What is our destination?

Where is the origin of the black wind?

He wants to destroy it.

He wants to destroy Tarabas.

So? We have more important things to think about.

Him and my son.

And are you just finding out now?

I don't think you ever cared much.

You can't understand this.

You are not a mother.

All we would be missing is this.

As if I didn't have enough problems already.

The wind, the cloud, the castles.

Fantaghiro.

It's just a plan to destroy my Tarabas.

Who can be angry with your child like this?

He who wants to destroy my Tarabas

and the most powerful force of evil, ever known

in all universes.

They're writing something.

'Nekrad'.

Nekrad?

Nekrad.

What does it mean?

It's a volcano.

It is the great volcano located at the edge of the world.

It is the nothingness from which all evils were generated.

You don't mean to say

But the Nekrad volcano has always been erupting.

Nobody can live there.

And no one could have generated the wind and the black cloud from there.

The three demons. Do you remember what they said?

'Seek his name and you will find his home.'

If his home is the Nekrad volcano

maybe that's his name too.

Nekrad.

Nekrad.

I've never heard of any evil genius with that name.

We can try to break down the letters.

It could be an anagram.

Let's try.

Let's read it backwards.

He is the evil demon creator of every principle of death.

He whose name cannot be spoken without crying.

Darken.

Darken!

Chiomadoro, what's wrong with you?

The volcano!

We have arrived!

I had never shed a tear in my life.

And I hate crying.

Then stop it!

Why do you need to cry?

But you're the one who said it.

You said that name can't be said without crying.

But that's something that doesn't apply to us witches.

You're really in a bad way, my dear.

There isn't a shred of cruelty left in you.

Surely your company will make me better, right?

We need to get to them before they enter the volcano.

And how?

Flying.

We just need to transform into eagles like we always have.

I don't think I'm capable of it anymore.

Then I'll transform you.

I don't know what you would do without me.

Wings faster than the wind.

Eyes capable of piercing the deepest spaces.

'Turn into a golden eagle.'

But I said golden eagle.

Not in a stupid half-plucked turkey.

You know what this means, don't you?

But what did I do?

It means you're getting so good

that not even my magic turns you into something evil.

Please don't leave me like this, otherwise the vegetables

they'll spit me out.

All right.

Yes, but since we can't fly

we have to find something to give the power to fly.

Let's see, something comfortable that you can use like a winged horse

Found.

What do you think of these adorable little stools?

No, they're too small.

And you might fall.

The carpet! I'd say it's perfect.

It's an item that has always worked.

And then it's a classic.

Only in the East. It is an article that only works in the East.

And then you weigh too much.

We could use something a little snappier.

With a tapered shape, it can fit between trees.

Something more aerodynamic.

'Aero' what?

May I know how you speak?

Forget it, it was just a word of future witchcraft.

We need something simpler.

Easy to drive, which does not take up too much space.

Something like those.

A broom?

And you think that a witch like me goes around

riding a broomstick?

But don't you understand that we will be laughed at

from all the witches in the realm?

Stop babbling and jump up.

For now we have nothing better.

We will make everyone laugh at us.

And it's not dignified at all.

You do not understand? It's not dignified.

Shut up and hold on tight.

What a shame! We will move on to the history of witchcraft

because of this.

Watch. Someone has already tried it before us.

They were certainly trying to escape.

And the lava stopped their bodies

in memory of his blind cruelty.

Or as a warning to those who pass by.

So that no one dares get close to his secrets.

What, are you scared?

No, but their immobility pains me.

Maybe they weren't travellers.

They lived near the volcano.

He must have killed them in his sleep.

If this impresses you

just say it, and everyone go

on his way.

Because if you are afraid it would be better not to continue.

I can go on alone.

There's nothing wrong with being afraid.

A little fear is necessary, it makes you cautious.

Besides, I don't think Darken will kill us.

If he got us this far and why he wants us alive.

Family.

And then if he wanted to kill us he would do it in his kingdom.

Inside the volcano.

Here we have nothing to fear.

Fantaghiro!

Parcel!

You will be sacrificed to the volcano demon.

You will be lowered into its mouth.

The demon wants you alive.

If you want to descend into the volcano we will not resist.

But first lower your weapons and let your horses go free.

We found a way to enter the volcano.

Take the other horses into the forest and wait for us there.

And when will you return?

I don't even know if we'll be back.

Does that sound like something worth saying?

You're not encouraging at all.

What are we waiting for?

We are ready to descend into the volcano.

- Here we are. - Do you think you can defeat Darken with your magic?

No, I can't, I feel like my powers are weakening.

His magic is stronger than mine.

It's not good news but that won't stop me.

No, wait, where are you going?

Stop!

All you know is chatting, we don't have time to waste.

It's dark, you might get lost. Wait for us, Parsel.

In any case, Darken will be the one to visit us if it's true that he's waiting for us.

No!

Parcel!

I am here.

- Hold on tight. - Help!

- Come on! - I can not do it.

- On! - Just a little more effort.

You're here, give me your hand.

Give me your hand.

- Good boy! - After you!

Courage Parsel.

- I can not do it. - As!

Give me your hand! One last effort, Parsel!

Avanti!

There you go, good job.

- Here you are. - You did!

Parcel!

- No! - Parsel! - Fantaghiro!

Watch!

It's a beautiful place!

It's incredible!

We are outside the volcano.

I don't think so.

Who spoke?

Whoever you are, come out! Let me get a look at you!

You say to me?

You are in the center of the volcano.

You are deep in the earth.

How is it possible that the sun and sky can be seen?

Here is everything he wants.

But where is he?

Him and everywhere.

He's here with you.

E' proper who

Is this you, by any chance?

No, he is much closer to you than me.

You don't have to be afraid of me.

I am just a humble servant of the mighty.

You appeared so suddenly, that's why I was afraid.

Not for my hideous face?

No.

Even the most handsome man would have scared me

if it had appeared that way to me.

So my appearance doesn't scare you?

No.

Too bad, if being a monster doesn't even do that for me

my sentence is really harsh.

Don't fool us with this talk.

We know who you are and we know you were waiting for us.

Why? You think I'm

No, I'm not who you think.

But how did you do it

You are the portrait of your cruelty.

Why does ugly also mean bad for you?

But how do you think that?

You are so beautiful, yet you have been so cruel.

Follow me, and if you need to call me, call me Fiodor.

It's strange, they don't have any smell.

Ouch! But it's hot.

Yes, and boiling water.

Looking at it, it would seem like fresh water.

Nothing like it seems, really and.

Learn not to believe your eyes.

So where is Darken?

We didn't come here to play.

But he is here with you.

Let it show, then.

He will know the laws of hospitality.

We are three Kings and have traveled a long way to see it.

My master knows only his laws.

And in here there is no other King but him.

But if you really want to meet him, then here he is, you will see him immediately.

But when you see it you will only be left with the desire to die.

No! Don't cross the stream.

Otherwise nothing will remain of you but your shadows.

I am at your command.

Welcome back, master.

- No, Parsel, what are you doing? - No! - It's dangerous.

Come back here, please!

No, stay here.

Get off!

If Darken comes, he will never forgive you for having

I'm ready, order Maesta.

Your every wish will be fulfilled.

Enough! Shut up, good and quiet.

I think you've talked too much for today.

Here I am, did you want to see me? You have always seen me.

What is it?

Have you lost the word?

Now you will pay for all your sins, damned one!

No, Tarabas, please don't.

He's just a child.

Why did you stop him, Fantaghiro?

I didn't expect anything else.

And as for you, is it possible that this woman

with all its grimaces do you control your great anger?

Come on, hit me. I do not recognize you anymore.

No!

I will never go back to being like you.

It is a pity.

This is exactly why I made you come here.

Parcel!

Parcel!

To the flowers.

Take it to the flowers right away.

No!

You don't have to worry about him.

He's alive. At least for now.

I just used it as a means of transportation.

I entered him when you collided

with the three black demons.

Do you want to know why I did it?

I wanted to make sure you would help me

to bring Tarabas here to my kingdom.

I knew he would follow you everywhere and I wasn't wrong.

You mean that you have unleashed the three demons

the wind of death and the castle-stealing cloud

to make me come here?

And!

But the important thing for me was that you got here

of your own free will.

I just forced your hand a little.

You are completely crazy.

No! You're the crazy one, Tarabas!

Your mission was to command

about the forces of evil.

You abdicated for the love of this woman.

Now you will have to spontaneously go back to being what you once were.

No, I can never do this. You won't convince me.

Agree.

But I wouldn't be so sure.

Forgive me, it's all my fault.

No, it's Darken's fault alone.

It's your prison, Fantaghiro.

And don't hope to escape.

- Leave me! - Don't make a fuss.

Where is Parsel? What did you do to him?

Don't worry about him.

Soon he will become one of us. Like you, like everyone.

No, wait!

Avanti, Tarabas.

It's useless to resist.

Don't put your hands on me.

Enter! This is your cage.

Fantaghiro, I'll get you out of here.

Even at the cost of accepting Darken's will.

You don't have to despair. Hold on.

What happens? Who is there?

Who are you?

Wait, don't go.

No, don't come closer.

I don't want you to look at me.

You are so Beautiful.

I just wanted to watch you sleep.

Fantaghiro.

why?

It's not important, just don't look at me.

Why don't you want me to do it?

I read my ugliness in your eyes.

No it is not true.

You have mercy.

And pity hurts me more than horror.

How can I pity you?

I don't see evil in your eyes.

I read in you only pain, fear.

No, don't even trust my eyes.

Why do you obey Darken?

I can't answer what I don't know.

I do not know what I have to do. I just do what I'm told

I am a slave.

Do what my nature and I order.

If you want to see the light of a real sun again.

If you want this wind of death and destruction

disappear from your world forever

convince Tarabas to become evil again.

So that's why you're here?

Darken wants to convince me to cooperate.

Is he the one who sent you here?

No, he doesn't care about you or anyone.

Darken only cares about Tarabas.

If you want to save yourself, remember this, before it's too late.

Leave me!

Leave me!

- Stop! - What have they done?

Nothing, don't worry.

How touching! A disgusting sight!

Tarabas.

What do you find in this kind of tomboy with short hair?

- How did she manage to bewitch you? - No! Don't touch it!

You won't get anything from him.

Is this what you believe?

Do you think he won't accept going back to what he was?

Not even if I had to offer him your life in exchange?

Poor Fantaghiro.

I can feel your little heart beating fast.

You're scared, huh?

Yet he loves you.

I'm sure he wants to save you.

Or do you think he doesn't love you enough?

To save me he will never agree to return

to harm all the peoples of the earth.

I, however, think just the opposite.

Really, Tarabas?

I will never do anything to make her suffer.

Ah, love! Then it really clouded your mind.

Don't you understand that I'm offering you a choice?

Or you convince yourself to obey and go back to being

what you once were, or unfortunately Fantaghiro will die.

Kill me, but leave her. It does not matter.

Jokes? She is the one who converted you

to the good.

You won't get anything with your blackmail.

Thats enough!

Let her go and face me.

You will never force me to obey you.

Alright then.

Then take it.

It's all yours.

I'll give it back to you.

But it won't be like before.

Fantaghiro!

No! No! Please don't die.

Don't die, Fantaghiro.

You can't leave me.

I beg you.

Don't give in.

Do it for me.

Do not die.

No!

No! Do not leave me.

Please bring her back to life.

I will obey you, I will do whatever you want. I will obey you, I swear.

Too late.

I offered you a choice.

And you did it.

Your pride killed her.

Your stupid pride.

And now he will kill you too!

It remains that.

And contemplate the lifeless body of your beloved.

Tell me, do you still like her even when you're dead?

I hope so. For you, of course.

Because she will remain dead forever.

No!

No!
