The Idhun Chronicles
LIMBAD I
Joker?
Dad?
Dad!
Dad, wake up! Please!
Wake up!
Mom, come downstairs, quick!
Mom!
Something's happened to dad.
Mom!
Leave her alone!
Shin-met-yu-him!
I've been looking for you.
I'm going to die.
Shin-met-yu-him!
Karash tebak, Alsan!
Get the woman.
No!
It was just a nightmare.
You!
I saw you earlier... in my house.
Tell me, what happened to my parents?
I'm very sorry.
We got there too late and we couldn't save them.
No...
that can't be.
No!
Let go of me!
Let me leave!
Why?
I can only tell you that we will protect you
and we will fight to prevent more deaths.
Dis-namae kon, Alsan.
More deaths?
But I don't understand. Who are you guys?
My name is Shail
and this is my friend Alsan, but he doesn't speak your language.
And you? What is your name?
My name is Jack.
We want to help you, Jack.
It's normal for you to be confused after what just happened.
Then, tell me what has happened!
Can you explain that or not?
You don't know where your parents were from?
My father... was British,
and my mother Danish.
What of it?
We come from a place that is ruled by an evil tyrant,
and he sent Kirtash to find people who have fled from him.
People like us, exiled.
He tracks them, he finds them, and he kills them.
But my parents didn't come from this place you're talking about.
Maybe they did and you didn't know. That is what we're investigating.
We are rebels who fight for the freedom of our land.
We stop Kirtash from murdering our people,
but sometimes, he's one step ahead of us.
He's only 15, but he has already killed many of our people.
He was trained to be the best.
He's fast, cold, and deadly as a scorpion.
The man with him is called Elrion,
and he's just as ruthless.
I have to go back home!
Wait. If you go home now, Kirtash will kill you.
This is the only place they can't find you.
Alibhad-di!
I'm sorry. I don't understand you.
Yohin-na... Do you understand me now?
Yes, but...
what is this?
It's a magical communication amulet.
As long as you wear it, you can understand Idhunese.
Keep it. I don't need it.
That way, you can understand Alsan who only speaks Idhunese.
Why are you looking at me like that? What did I say?
A "magical amulet"?
You're kidding, right?
Of course not!
Victoria, what have you told him?
You said you'd speak to him. He's one of us, right?
-Not exactly. -Then why did you bring him here?
I brought him because Kirtash attacked him.
So, he is one of us.
I'm still not quite sure.
You're all crazy!
Let me pass.
But you're going to have to tell him sometime, right?
Do you think he left the house?
If so, he couldn't have gone far.
Wow!
I wish there was more light.
Who's there?
Whoa.
Oh, my!
Help!
No.
What?
Oh, no.
Jack!
Are you alright?
What was that?
You touched the table with your hand, right?
If you touch it, it activates the power of the Soul.
I hate serpents.
You saw... serpents?
Giant serpents in a red sky.
That means that the Soul showed you what happened in Idhun.
In Idhun?
That's what our world is called.
What you saw was what happened three years ago
when Ashran used the astral conjunction
to exterminate all of the dragons and unicorns to obtain power.
After that, the Sheks invaded Idhun.
-What are Sheks? -They are the winged serpents.
I have seen these monsters before
in my dreams.
But it's impossible they're real.
I didn't believe it either.
The same thing happened to me. I couldn't remember anything.
But when the Soul showed me images of Idhun,
I felt like I recognized it from before.
Is this thing a virtual reality projector or something like that?
No, it's a channel of communication with the Soul of Limbad.
It was created by the first magicians that arrived here centuries ago.
Wait...
are you seriously talking about wizards?
Limbad has always been a safe haven
for all of the magicians, who in their day,
had to escape Idhun for one reason or another.
There isn't any magic left on Earth, but Idhun is filled with it.
Here in Limbad, we have the best of both worlds.
Our appliances run on magic.
You're telling me that right now we are in another world?
Come. I'll show you.
In ancient Idhunese, Limbad means "The House on the Border".
It's called that because it's located between Idhun and the Earth.
You see this forest?
It's where Limbad ends.
It's always night because time stands still here.
Look, it's a really cool story, but it's not real.
And besides, it has nothing to do with me.
I wish that were true, Jack,
but Kirtash attacked your family
and that means it's possible they were Idhunese who fled to Earth
because Ashran is using Kirtash to murder them all.
Alright, enough. I've heard enough.
I'm going home, like it or not.
I will find my own way back.
Jack, wait!
Are you hurt?
Jack, come back!
Whoa!
So...
if all of this is true...
Kirtash murdered my parents because he thought they were magicians,
runaway magicians from Idhun.
It would seem so.
You see, when someone uses magic on Earth,
he can sense it.
Then...
my parents' death was my fault.
They were regular people...
whereas I...
sometimes things happen to me that have to do with fire.
Recently, I've been having dreams like what I saw in the library.
Last night, when I woke up...
my parents put the fire out in time but...
my room was totally torched.
Today at school,
I knew something wasn't right at home.
When I got back, they were already...
I thought that there had to be a logical explanation,
but if what I did was magic, and if Kirtash sensed it,
then it was my fault!
Be careful. If you carry on like this, you'll hurt yourself more.
Let me help you.
Whoa!
My ankle doesn't hurt anymore.
Hey, how did you do that?
Are you one of the Idhun magicians?
No, I was born on Earth.
I don't know if my parents were Idhunese because I never got to know them.
Don't be afraid.
I live with my grandmother who adopted me.
Shail, who really is a magician, says that I also have powers.
He is teaching me how to use them.
Wait a second.
What if Kirtash detects your magic and he finds us?
Don't worry.
We know that the Soul will never let him enter here.
The Soul?
It's the spirit guarding Limbad.
I've been looking everywhere for both of you.
I don't believe I introduced myself properly.
My name is Alsan.
I am the prince and heir to the kingdom of Vanissar,
and leader of the Resistance.
You're really a prince?
I came to Earth in order to try to save our world.
But first we must stop Kirtash
and stop him from killing any more of our people.
I'm sorry we come in time to save your family.
If I can't go home,
what will I do now?
I can train you so you are able to defend yourself. If you want.
This is Sumlaris the Invincible, a legendary sword.
In the Limbad armory, there are other magical weapons
I can teach you to wield
so at least you'll have a chance against Kirtash.
I don't want to just defend myself,
I want to defeat him.
Will you teach me?
My priority is keeping you safe.
The truth is we could really use another warrior.
Will you join our cause?
You guys can count on me.
Welcome to the Resistance.
Alright, so the boy escaped,
but ultimately, he was just a kid.
His parents, however, are no longer a threat.
The parents don't matter. The boy was our target and you knew that.
Perhaps I wasn't clear, Elrion,
but in this mission,
I am the only one who decides who lives and who dies.
And I'm warning you...
one more mistake and I will dispense with you.
But Ashran sent me here to help you,
because you need a magician like me.
I am perfectly capable of locating our target without any sort of help.
But first, we must find the boy.
We cannot leave any loose ends.
So, for your own good, I hope you are up to the task.
Is that clear?
Go and find some terrestrial clothes and change into them.
Like this, you stand out too much.
Wherever you go...
I will find you.
