You know, Margherita, we can never thank you

-enough for doing this. -Hey, kids,

-you two better behave for Auntie. -Aye, aye, Captain.

I just met an interesting guy today, he was tall, had blue eyes,

and he was dressed totally in black but overall, a pretty striking guy.

-Do you know who he is? -I sense an incoming crush.

This thing just turned on and off on its own.

There's probably a broken wire somewhere.

Unless you're telling me, you think this place is haunted.

I know that ghosts are real and you should too.

Well, no need to go back inside the castle if you wanna see a ghost.

She saw one last night.

I solved the riddle! "Door" is the answer.

Betta. You don't remember me, do you? I'm Andrea, I'm your brother.

That's the curse of the Stria,

She is an evil witch who lives in the Nowhere.

She kidnaps children and lures them back there with false promises.

You have to believe me. You have to help me escape from the Nowhere.

We can use that door to get there,

-but you'll need the keys to open it. -What can we do then?

The Stria is always talking about an old game

called "The Knights of Castelcorvo".

Try to find it, it's important!

The card is different.

"I keep treasures within my walls, open me without fear to have it all."

"I am silent, but for me, nothing is concealed."

"If I could speak, a thousand secrets would be revealed."

And I'm positive that he has to be my brother.

Andrea, we're coming to help out.

THE KNIGHTS OF CASTELCORVO

-We have to find that game.

What do you think, where should we start looking?

-I have no idea. -Me either.

I've never even heard of it before.

GAME "THE KNIGHTS OF CASTELCORVO" 0

-Yeah. -So, maybe it could just be really old.

-Castelcorvo? -Yeah. It could be, that's a good point.

Just my guess.

-Did you find anything? -Nothing at all.

We're just wasting time searching this way.

-Mm. -Wasting our time?

What can even do other than checking the internet?

Why don't we go and check out the store?

Ah, the store?

Yeah, I always find what I need exploring there.

So wait, do you think we'll find this game inside there

when you can't even find it on the internet?

-All right, hear me out.

It's a game about Castelcorvo.

The name isn't just a coincidence.

-Come with me. -Okay.

-Let's go. -Hold on a second.

You're really just gonna follow her?

But it doesn't make any sense!

Just as much sense as what happened last night.

Wait for me.

Isn't this store the best place in the world?

It is if you like old junk.

Does this mean you brought us to an antique store, Betta?

Absolutely!

It's a perfect place to find an old game, isn't it?

Yeah, for sure. A game we'll probably never find.

You wanna make a bet?

If you end up right about this, I'll start singing in the town square.

Hmm. I think you can do better.

-I can? -Yup.

What if I went hopping around town dressed as a kangaroo?

-Yeah. -But if I'm right,

you have to be a dog. Wait, no, an ostrich!

You're on.

Hey there, Signora Maria.

We know each other?

Yes, it's Betta.

We're looking for an old game that's called...

It's called "The Knights of Castelcorvo."

I think I probably have that here!

Yes!

All right, funny boy.

I can't wait to see you hop around like a kangaroo.

-Here, I have this. Is that it?

ICE CREAM WIZARD MAKE YOUR OWN ICE CREAM!

Oh, wow, The Ice Cream Wizard! Perfect, Signora Maria.

This is great. I can't believe we found it.

No, no, no. That's not the one we're looking for.

-Well, that's all I got. -Hey, hey, that's all she's got.

No, no, no, wait!

I'm wondering if you have any stuff for ping-pong.

Or permanent marker, some tissue paper, and also a roll of tape.

Got it all!

Okay, perfect.

You really do look like an ostrich.

-Totally hilarious. -Sorry, but a bet's a bet.

-What? -Give me your phone.

-I saw you were... Give that here!

I know you were taking a video.

MOVE TO TRASH

Okay. So I guess you can use a smartphone.

Even though I don't like using these things,

it's not like I got totally stuck in the past, okay?

Maybe not the past, feathers maybe.

Okay. Come on.

I wish you guys had seen Betta in the ostrich costume.

It was so funny, everyone was laughing.

I think you were the only one laughing.

Uh-uh. It was everyone.

-- Hi, Auntie. -- Hi, Auntie.

Hey, kids. You having fun?

-Yup. -Mm-hmm. You need a hand?

No, I'm just leaving these outside the gate, but thank you. Bye.

-Bye. -Bye.

Wait a second.

You remember what Aunt Margherita told us?

Well, no, Aunt Margherita almost talks as much as Matteo.

Hey!

Remember she found some old games earlier?

Do you think...

Yes.

You care to share this one with me, guys?

The games that our aunt found. Maybe she already has it.

Mm, doesn't seem very likely.

-Auntie? -Yes?

Where are those games from the other night?

Sorry. I thought you didn't want them!

So, I gave them away.

-But who has them now? -Well, I gave them to Mr. Enzo.

He's been helping me get rid of all my extra knick-knacks.

-Ugh, No! -Hey! I knew this would happen!

Before we started playing, we've already lost.

Not over yet.

Hey, where are you going? Mr. Enzo's already gone.

I happen to know a shortcut.

-You do? -We're coming, too.

No, you stay, I'm faster on my own.

-Are you sure? -Yes, I'll see you later.

Mr. Enzo, could I ask you to do me a favor?

Betta!

-Here it is. -That's great.

I knew you could pull it off.

-It sure is old. -Yes.

-You guys see this symbol?

It's just like on the card.

-Can I see? -That's right, two raven feathers.

Whoa, this is so cool!

-I've never seen a game like this. -How do these fit?

Here.

-Here we are. -Let's see.

These are corners.

-Yes, right. -We have to line them up.

-Line up the corners. -Okay, okay, okay, that's better.

This one should go...

-Come on, try to fit it in. -...where all the other trees are.

-Right. Good point. -Uh... Yes. Like that.

-Where does this fit? -Hold on. Let's switch them.

-We're switching them? -Yeah.

Sure. If they fit.

-Exactly! -Yes, we got it!

Yeah.

All done.

This is Castelcorvo.

This must be some kind of map,

a map that represents the real Castelcorvo!

But wait, there's nothing else inside the box.

No pieces, no dice, nothing.

Wait, there's something else.

Check this out.

I think maybe it's an instruction manual.

I think you're right.

"Welcome to Castelcorvo, brave strangers."

"As of this moment, you have one quest, finding the magic keys."

"The Morning Key that will allow you to enter The Nowhere

"and The Evening Key, that will allow you to exit The Nowhere".

Incredible!

This isn't even the strangest thing we've come across.

Give me that.

-Time to begin.

"You must first get on the starting point and follow the north star."

"If you do everything right, you'll find two different objects

"then you'll have an important decision to make.

"Choose one of the objects you found."

"The first has a clue to continue your journey,

"the other leads only to useless things."

"Make the wrong decision and your game is all over."

"The riddle will guide you to the right decision."

"You must prove that you are truly knights."

So, where should we start?

Who knows? Which space is the starting point?

It's the castle!

That has to be where we start, it was the first thing to appear.

But wouldn't that mean...

that we're the pieces.

All right, let's go! There's no time to waste, come on.

Hey! Wait a second. Didn't you say that the castle was closed?

Yes...

but I never said there wasn't a way inside it.

-Let's go, hurry up.

-Ready? -Yeah.

This way, guys, stay close to me.

Hurry, keep up.

It's right over here.

Here we are.

We go in this old door.

It's always open, you just have to push.

Whoa! It's a secret passage!

Well, not that secret.

All the kids in Castelcorvo know about this.

Okay. Let's focus.

The card told us to follow the north star...

which everyone knows leads north.

That's why I think,

we have to go to the northernmost point of the north wing.

And how do we get to the northernmost point

of the northern wing?

Simple.

With this.

Good. Let's do it, then we'll follow you.

-Follow me? -Yeah.

I don't know, guys, I'm not that good at this.

Come on, Matteo.

Okay. Just follow me.

Betta, hey.

If every kid in town knows about this entrance,

how come nobody has come here in years?

Because it's just an old castle, full of dust and dry leaves.

Dust and dry leaves? No, no, no, no.

It's not dust and dry leaves, it's the ghosts.

Matteo, enough with the scary stories.

Focus on leading the way.

Okay, fine.

All right, just a little further and we'll be at the northernmost point.

Come on.

-There's no way forward -What now?

We must have gone right when we should have gone left.

It's not a big deal, we're almost there.

Just follow me.

Are you sure you know how to use that compass?

Of course, I do. I was a boy scout, you know?

Fine. I just think we've been through here already.

The compass says to go this way.

Mm, okay.

Ah.

I knew we were walking around in circles!

Give me that, I'll do it.

Follow me.

Here we are. This here is the right direction.

You know, I probably could've found it myself if I had some more time.

Yeah, sure you would. Whatever you say, Matteo.

Hey, you guys, did anyone hear that?

That was a ghost, There's a ghost in here with us.

-Sure. -I tried to tell you.

We should have never come here.

Sure, there's a ghost, Matteo.

But you have me to protect you, no need to worry.

Are we really sure this is the right way? Because...

Yes, don't worry.

So long as we go north, we'll definitely find it.

Well, I'd say we found it.

It's just like the test you read about in the manual.

We have to decide between the book and the chest.

There's only one chance to get it right.

It's just like a video game! If we make the right choice, we move one.

Make the wrong choice, we're done.

Game over.

No, no, no. Game over is not an option for us.

We must save Andrea.

Then, let's focus on the riddle.

"I keep treasures within my walls. Open me without fear to have it all."

"I'm silent but for me, nothing is concealed."

"If I could speak, a thousand secrets would be revealed."

This is an easy one.

It is?

-The chest is obviously the answer. -Wait a second.

Um... Let's really think this through here.

-What about the secrets? -You remember?

When you were little, you had a box to keep your secret things in.

She hated anyone touching it.

-When I was six. -Okay.

We need to make a decision. So, what are we choosing?

-I say chest. -I say book.

-It's the chest. -The book.

I say book, as well.

Wait a second. Couldn't both be the right answer?

You see? They weigh the same.

The riddle doesn't eliminate either of them.

-I believe I got it.

They're the same weight.

Which means that the chest isn't full of treasure,

or gold coins, or jewels or anything else.

But you see, the book has pages.

Are you sure about this?

Because there's no going back again after this.

Go.

What did I say? I told you guys this place was haunted!

No, it's empty.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

We made the wrong decision.

I made a mistake.

Now, we'll never able to find Andrea.

Betta, Betta.

See that?

It's a card.

Yes.

Listen to this.

"Well done, the game will now continue."

"But first, each of you must recite the words of the Knight's Oath."

Where do we find this oath?

Here, on the card.

Altogether, now.

"I am a knight, sworn to be courageous."

"My heart is filled with righteousness..."

Come on, Matteo.

Mm... I don't know, guys.

It's just that, swearing oaths and courage, being a knight...

-Come on, Matteo! -Yeah.

Say it.

Well, all right.

"I am a knight, sworn to be courageous."

"My heart is filled with righteousness. With my sword, I defend those in need.

"My strength helps those who are weak.

"Whenever I speak, what I say is the truth.

"I will save my wrath for the wicked and long live the Knights of Castelcorvo!"

Andrea, here we come.

-Yeah! -All right.

Get me up higher, come on.

I think you should call me "Lady Knight" now.

-Betta. -Hmm. No way.

-Yeah! Nice. -Hey!

-Oh, look who's here, it's the losers. -What do you think you're doing?

-Oh, hey, you freaks! -Oh, no, my bike!

-Hey, give us our bicycles. -Can't, sorry.

Thought we'd take a ride around.

Funny piece of junk you got here.

Think we should hang on to them for a while.

Yeah.

Keep the helmets, especially the ostrich ones.

-They're so weird. -We're not scared of you.

It's us four against you three.

Whoa, you four against us three?

Four of you losers put together, doesn't even equal one of us now, does it?

-Hey, Aldo!

Yeah, what?

-How do you know my name? -It's not important.

-Why don't the two of us make a deal? -How about you get out of here, okay?

Why don't we give everyone their things back?

I said get out of here! Didn't you hear me?

How about you give them their bikes back...

and you get back your phone.

-How'd you steal my phone? -Steal it?

No, you lost it.

Want it?

Then come and get it.

Let me help you, Matteo.

-What just happened?

-There he is. -Who is he?

He's that guy I told you about.

Hey, stop!

Come back here.

Where did he...

Where'd that kid go to?

Is he gone?

No idea, there's no way out.

-Aldo? -Yeah?

-Here's your phone. -Yeah?

Who was that guy?

Giulia?

-Hmm? -What are you thinking?

-Is it the game? -No, nothing, don't worry about it.

You sure? 'Cause you can tell us?

I was thinking about that boy.

I wonder if he got away from Aldo.

That sucks!

Ricky, what?

Enough thinking about that guy!

Betta, can you understand them?

-No. -That makes two of us.

Wait, really?

It's just Pig Latin, you ever heard of it?

-No. -No.

It's a language that grown ups can't understand.

Very useful.

It's perfectly simple.

All you do is put the first sound at the end and add "A-Y"

-Yeah, it's really easy. -No, I don't get it.

For example, "Matteo" becomes Atteomay.

Atteomay.

Mafafa Atteomay.

Almost. Atteomay.

Take the "M", move it to the end and add "A-Y".

-Oh. I'm Ettabay.

Exactly.

Wait, I wanna try again. Matteomatay.

Okay. So, you guys think you're pretty good at Pig Latin.

-Yeah, sure. -No, seriously.

-We are. -You should read the oath.

-Okay -Oh, wow.

-Read it in Pig Latin? -Go on.

-Sure. -We'll do it.

-What? Wait a second. -What?

What's the matter?

The card's changing its message again.

Oh, maybe it's a rebus.

-- How do we solve this? -- I don't know.

-- Here we go. -- Hmm.

So, what do these pictures mean?

Zeno, you have news for me?

I do.

I'm listening.

Remember when I said that nobody in Castelcorvo

possessed the necessary skills to solve the riddles?

I was mistaken.

You were mistaken?

Yes.

There are two new kids who've arrived here.

They've made friends with some locals and found the game.

They've already solved the first riddle and taken the oath.

Perhaps these four are the real chosen ones.

-The Knights of Castelcorvo. -Keep your eyes on them.

Just remember, nothing is more important than finding the keys.

They'll be found.

I won't let you down, Mother.
