Transcript
The episode opens at a forest clearing at night. Rayla sits on a rock while the princes sleep nearby. She tries loosening the silver band on her left wrist, then bites it, and tries yanking it free.
Don't judge me. So what, I'm talking to my ribbon-thing? How is that any worse than talking to a... whatever it is you are?
Bait turns pink. Rayla narrows her eyes and glares at the Glow Toad, who stares back. Bait sticks his tongue out and licks his eye. Rayla turns away with a disgusted expression, sitting with her back to Ezran and Callum. She looks at the castle looming in the distance and shifts her remorseful gaze to the sleeping brothers for a moment, then turns away and hangs her head.
Scene Change
Viren leads a funeral procession across the castle bridge. Four soldiers carry a shrouded casket with several roses laid atop of it. Priestesses clad in red and white cloaks walk beside the casket with ornate torches. A distant view shows a torch lit winding path, leading out of the castle and through the neighboring town. In the town, the citizens line the streets as the procession goes by. Their heads bow with sorrowful expressions. An impassive Viren leads the slow march with a priestess wearing a silver circlet walking behind him, she frowns at the mage.
I understand your concern, Opeli, but in a time of war, we must move forward.
Light from numerous torches pierces the dense fog as people make their way down the winding path. Entering a desolate canyon, the head of the procession passes between two colossal statues of knights. Bringing up the rear with Claudia, Soren struggles to keep his eyes open.
Statues of regal men and women line the tall cliff faces around them. Up ahead, the casket bearers approach a stone altar, a short bell tower, and a few statues behind it. The townspeople watch the soldiers set the casket down on the altar. Opeli stands by while Viren faces the crowd.
Claudia steps forward, holding a small glass jar with a spider in it. She uncorks the jar, freeing the black spider with a fiery red abdomen. It scurries under her palm and she crushes it with her fist. Orange and yellow goo bursts through her fingers.
The goo turns into flames. Claudia's eyes glow purple and then turn black. She shoots for the fiery comet that lands in abrasure and sets it ablaze. The fire then leaps into the three other braziers before swirling into the air above the altar and crashing down on the casket. The villagers stare wide eyed at the roaring fire. They gasp.
Ugh. [She holds out her hand and Callum gives her the book] All the magic in the world comes from the Primal Sources. They're the original and purest forms of magical energy. The Sun, the Moon, the Stars, the Earth, the Ocean, and... [Taps the stone]
Yes. To cast a spell, a mage needs Primal Energy. So that wind breath spell you just did? You'd usually need a storm or at least a strong breeze. But with that stone, you have all the power of the Sky, any time.
[Sighs] Look... Rayla. [Lowers his head] Princes are supposed to be good at things. Uh, sword fighting, leadership... riding horses. But I've always been kind of bad at it, well, everything. So, when I tried that spell, I was sure I'd end up on fire or covered in spiders.. but it worked.
