She's dead, Fantaghirт.
Fantaghirт is dead.
She's dead, the warrior queen.
She's dead, Fantaghirт.
Fantaghirт is dead.
She's dead, Fantaghirт.
Fantaghirт is dead.
Look Fyodor. Come, come and see the result...
of the stupid obstinacy of Tarabas.
I still cannot figure out how all this quest
for...
goodness...
can only produce death and destruction.
But now that,
now that Fantaghirт has abandoned this world forever,
his deep hatred for me
will return to him all the evil for which he was born.
Not her. You shouldn't have done it!
Fyodor, how dare you? Are you crazy?
Let there be darkness!
You cannot die.
She cannot be dead.
Why so much suffering, Fyodor?
I don't know.
- I don't know anything. - You don't know?
- I don't know why I'm suffering. - You don't know?
Then I'll tell you.
- You know where you came from? - No.
- Do you know how long you have been my slave? - Always, I think.
So it seems to you, but in reality only a few days.
And do you not remember who you were?
- No. - Very good.
- I'll show you. - No, not the mirror!
- I won't look at myself! - Do not be afraid.
You won’t see your monstrous face.
You will see only who you were before.
You'll see who you were.
You'll see who you were in reality.
This is your past.
And that was you.
As soon as you see his face, everything will become clear
And your memory will awaken.
Look, that was you
as you once were.
And this
And this is how you are now, Romualdo.
A monster.
My only regret
is that your Fantaghirт, unfortunately, is no longer alive.
And so she cannot see
what has become of her great love.
What has become and what will forever be.
No, Fantaghirт cannot be dead! No!
There is no reason for despair.
I could bring her back to life.
But it must be Tarabas, only him
to ask me.
And you must convince him.
Look, Tarabas.
Here is the result of your goodness.
Was this what you wanted
When did you decide to change your life?
No!
Even looking to do good
all that you achieved was pain and destruction.
Renounce it.
Renounce goodness for her sake.
Be yourself again.
And in return...
Ask Darken, for her life.
I am ready for any sacrifice to bring her back to life.
No, it must not be a sacrifice, Tarabas.
I demand that you are convinced.
First return her to life.
Then I will do what you ask.
Have you heard? He's ready to accept.
Bring her back to life.
But if she decides to stay with Tarabas forever?
It doesn't matter, she must live.
Poor, Romualdo.
Yet to revive her
you'd be willing to bring it about through the love of Tarabas.
Tarabas loves her with my own love.
Even he would do anything to save her.
Get out of here! You tire me! You're pathetic!
What power lurks in you?
What force governs your soul?
How do you enchant these men?
What is your secret?
Is it in your eyes?
In your heart?
I am ready to obey you.
Again I will be The Prince of Evil.
Kiss her.
Are you are sure that you want her alive, knowing how she will suffer?
Knowing that she will be tormented her whole life
for being the cause of your cruelty
and of your deformities?
Well, that's fine.
I will do as you ask.
Not you!
Oh yes...
Me.
With this kiss I've restored you to life.
But don't thank me.
Thank Tarabas. It was he who wanted it.
Oh, Tarabas! But at what price?
Tell me at what price.
At what price!
Live, my love.
Live your life, at least you.
Free me, Fyodor.
- You are not like Darken. - No, we cannot escape.
There's no way out, understand?
It's not true.
We'll free Tarabas and Parsel. You'll come with us.
And you hope that Darken will let us flee?
Only Tarabas could give you freedom.
Well, now you can show me the way out.
Yeah, of course.
And wouldn't you like Fantaghirт to go with you?
Oh, be careful. You underestimate me.
I didn't ask you to revive her to leave her with you.
I'll take her to my kingdom and she'll rule next to me.
You really think I believe you?
I made you a promise and I will keep it.
I need proof, show it!
Show me that you have renounced... goodness.
And you're ready to dedicate yourself again to evil.
Tell me what I must do and I will do it.
Look.
Right now I want only for you to watch.
But what does it mean?
It's for you, my dear. Take it.
No, don't touch it!
It's Darken's.
If it means so much to save your Tarabas
even you must pay a price for him.
Take it.
Do not listen!
They speak for Darken.
Those are his words that come out of their mouths.
Very good.
Fear not. You'd like the wind of hunger and pestilence
to disappear from all the Earth?
You'd like see the three black demons vanish forever?
Take it.
Want to regain your castle and that of little Parsel?
Just say; Yes and all this can happen.
Yes
And so now just a single gesture.
Which is?
Tell me and I will do it.
Strike Fyodor!
Strike this monster!
Sacrificing him will bring your freedom.
Strike him.
Do it...
Strike me!
Strike him!
Do it, strike me.
What is a life of unhappiness compared with the happiness of others?
Strike him!
One blow and it's all over!
He's a monster, a miserable little monster!
Whereas on Earth there are so many children
waiting for your act, to smile again.
Kill him!
Do not worry.
Close your eyes... and strike.
As if I had never existed.
Strike him!
Monsters!
You are the real monsters!
Each life is worth as much as all the others.
The only monsters are those hiding
within the hearts of men
and not in their image.
What idiocy!
She's a stupid, sentimental fool.
Oh, that girl thinks she knows everything about life.
- But she knows nothing. - You'll never succeed.
You will never make us cruel. It's a futile struggle, give up!
Poor Tarabas.
You still haven't realized that returning to evil
being more cruel and more inhuman is the proof that you must give me.
- No. - Good.
- Help! - Stay still!
Get off me! Help, Rufus!
Help me, Rufus! Let me go!
Rufus, help me!
Rufus!
Yes, we have other guests.
Love always finds a way and when it fails
I'm ready to give a helping hand.
How can you enjoy this game?
Stop playing with our lives
Anyway you are the only one who can win.
Convince Tarabas to return to his former self
And all this will finish.
You know very well you don't want it.
What I ask is a small proof of his wickedness.
Only one proof and be free.
I know... that inside of you
prisoner of your will
there is still a force of wickedness and cruelty.
And this is the key which can free it.
Here is the weapon.
Now you have just to choose the victim.
No!
Get off me!
Tarabas, my love.
- I crossed the whole world to find you. - Stop!
- Stay away! - Why hold that weapon against me?
No, not against you.
You will not be his victim.
You are not a poor, defenceless creature.
I know that the love in you can also become malignant.
You would do anything for Tarabas.
- Isn't that so? - Tell me and I will do it.
No, that would be too easy.
It needs someone a little more innocent.
Someone who has already suffered enough.
Someone who deserves only pity, but
Someone like him!
No!
Rufus, no!
What did he do wrong?
Please, not him! You have to let him go!
How can there be, in your heart, not an ounce of pity?
Rufus!
Poor half-man!
Yes, he's in love.
Truly pathetic.
Your problem is that you are loved too much.
Everywhere you go you leave a sickening trace of love
and its stupid sentiments.
Also whoever loves you is sentenced to suffer.
Well, if I were you...
I'd try to be a little less loved.
How dare you rebel?
I am the power which you must obey!
The power that governs you!
The power whose will you can never resist!
Now go and kill her.
You will kill Fantaghirт
And I swear I will transform you into a complete man.
Ah, okay then.
I know it's not easy to believe one of my promises.
But no one would dare to refuse in the face of reality.
No, Angelica, don't! Don't give it to him!
I do not want you to hate me.
they're not mine, the rules of the game.
Angelica is right.
So let's ignore her.
The game involves just us three.
Me, you and Fantaghirт.
Rufus is only an instrument.
Go!
Now you're a real man!
Now any woman can love you. Kill her!
No one will never know.
None beyond those here, of course
will ever know of your spontaneous decision.
Kill her!
Be careful, Rufus!
Whatever you do, Darken will never leave you free.
Do not listen to her, Rufus.
She was generous and good to you
only because she wanted to save Tarabas.
You do not believe that she did it for love?
Strike her! Kill her!
He's lying!
Don't believe him, it's not true!
No, you cannot kill me. I am immortal.
Get rid of him before it's too late for you both.
- Do not listen! - Please do not do it!
Strike her!
You have no choice!
I order you to do it!
Kill her!
Go on!
Don't do it!
Rufus, no!
Don't touch me, no!
Hands
don't serve only to strike.
You have taught me.
You've been good to me, you alone.
I have never lived as a man.
At least in death
I'll be a man forever.
No!
Rufus!
Was this what you wanted, Darken?
The more you try to induce evil, to instigate hatred
the more love you'll get in response.
Yes, it's true, he sacrificed himself for me.
But it's not my love that creates unhappiness.
It's your cruelty that offends the very life.
You can torture, kill, destroy our will
But you will never make us as you.
You can never win because evil never wins.
Fantaghirт is right. Now I too know we can win.
You can only kill us, but you will never make us like you.
We shall soon see, Tarabas.
And the next time will be the last.
Take it as a promise.
Because at this point it's you or I.
Tarabas!
Tarabas, where are you?
Fantaghirт!
Hurry, come here.
We must find a way to escape from here.
It's not possible.
But I've found something that's even more to you heart.
But we must act quickly, before Darken can discover us.
You're not required to do this.
I'm not helping you, I'm disobeying Darken.
I do this for myself, believe me.
Help!
To the right!
I can't control it!
Turn right!
Help, the trees!
Not like that!
Help, help!
Where have you gone?
Where are you?
I knew that broom was unfit to fly!
Don't be silly, it worked a treat.
Just you darling, who aren't able to fly.
You should have seen me fly with my fine pair of wings.
I was a magnificent eagle.
Great, but since you'll never more be an eagle
You should learn how to maneuver this broom.
This thing is neither practical nor even decent!
No, for me it's perfect!
It's easy to find, slips everywhere
And doesn't clutter up the house.
It's only good for sweeping or breaking someone's head!
That's the only way I'll use it in the future!
I hope you're not planning to sweep the forest.
Now put that broom down and let's go.
We're not there yet.
Hurry!
I'm not going up again on this thing.
I'd rather burn it.
Or tear it to bits.
Don't get any funny ideas. Come on, don't argue!
I have no desire to walk!
I'll ruin my shoes!
If you didn't want to walk
you should have shown a little more respect for our brooms.
Sister, one day you will thank me
because I have saved even your reputation!
Witches riding around on brooms! How on earth did you think of it?
It's a hopeless invention!
This way.
Quickly.
Hurry, hurry!
- Where are we going? - Follow me and you'll see.
This way!
Come on, towards the river.
Yes, hurry.
- The collection of Darken. - The castles?
Yes, he's stolen them around from around the world.
Shrunk them so small and put them under glass.
- Quick, look for yours before we're discovered. - Help me.
How can I help you? I don't know it.
It's true. I don't know why I said that.
I seem to have known you so long.
- Maybe it's your eyes. - Don't think of me now.
Think of the castle, hurry.
- We can find it. - You're right.
We have no time to lose.
Defend yourself! Don't run away!
Now you'll be forced to defend yourself!
But what else must I do to make you hate me?
You only seem to understand your...
Goodness, and that it's only me you must destroy.
Your challenge hides some deception.
Whether I win or lose, you'll always win.
This time you'll have to kill me!
- You'll return to evil! - But killing you isn't a sin!
That's what you think.
The biggest crime you can commit
- The biggest sin! - Why?
Do not think, act!
This is your last chance to save Fantaghirт!
How can it be a sin and evil to kill you? Tell me!
You'll know only If you can defeat me!
There, I've found it. My castle.
It's identical.
But it may be a fake.
- Just a trick of Darken. - No, look.
This will help.
It's a splinter of glass that magnifies things.
Look through it.
There's something moving.
Or someone.
Yes, it's true.
They are my sisters! On the balcony!
Carolina, Catherine!
They cannot hear you.
At least I think not.
But they are alive, I've seen them.
- We'll remove the glass. - No!
It could be dangerous, the glass is a protection.
But I cannot hear what they say.
Take it away with you, but don't remove the glass.
I want to talk to Romualdo.
Romualdo, where are you? My love!
Romualdo, my love!
Your voice must have been like thunder for them.
Perhaps something happened.
It can happen to us if we don't leave.
Put it in here and carry it away.
The spell must be canceled.
- But it's impossible, Darken will never do it. - Unless
Have you had enough? Regret taking up the sword, eh?
Without your magic you can't manage?
Or that woman has softened you up?
There's no point in trying to humiliate me.
But I'm just looking to make you win.
Now, strike me hard. Come on, courage.
That's better.
Now I'm more comfortable. That was the blow of a great master.
You did it yourself. Pick it up.
No, your blow had all the power
And the vigor of youth.
Ah, now I am old.
Otherwise you wouldn't have had the slightest chance of beating me.
Less talk, now fight!
Not one chance in a million
If I were as young as you.
- I would fight you the same. - No.
If I were to show you my face
as I once was
you would never have the courage to kill me.
Why not?
You would discover that I am he
that you could never strike without crying.
You'd become your own remorse.
Become the eternal pain,
only able to awaken in you
all the evil for which you were born.
Are you really sure
you want to see my face, as I was when I was young?
Are you really sure you want to?
Answer.
Now more than ever.
then here it is, I warned you.
And now let's see if you have the courage to kill me.
All clear. We must return to the prison before they discover us.
No, free Parsel. Where is he?
No, it's too dangerous. Trust me.
- With two it will be easier. - We're unarmed?
I'm not unarmed. I've got my rock with me.
Capture the prisoner!
The prisoner has escaped!
Mind your own business!
Come, we have little time.
Stop! Who goes there? Not one step more.
Stand still!
Stop and lay down your arms.
I'm Fyodor, Darken's new servant.
Here are the keys, look.
Why was I not warned?
And who are you?
One of the prisoners, I've come to take the others.
I bring them for our lord and master.
And why is your prisoner not fettered?
And why are there no guards with you?
And why was I not warned?
- Why has she hair like that? - Why don't you shut up?
Why?
It's dangerous to be so curious.
Sorry, sunflower.
Why did you throw that stone?
Why desire to go at all costs?
And why does Darken want to see the prisoners?
And why not mind your own business?
I swear that from now on
whoever sends me flowers will know about it.
But why?
Can you kill me now?
I'm not afraid to strike my own image.
Even if striking you killed me too.
This is another of your vulgar tricks!
No, this time it's really so.
What do you mean? That evil has only one face?
- And that face is mine? - You believe only what you see!
You cannot understand because we are so alike...
And what binds us?
Kill me.
Kill me and you will have committed the most terrible of all crimes.
Because in killing me
you kill also a part of yourself.
Why are you waiting?
Go on, kill me.
Come on, kill me.
Show me that you have left
an ounce of your former pride.
Come on.
No, don't do it!
Do not kill your father.
Don't do it.
My father?
- Yes! - It's not possible.
Yes!
Yes, I am your father.
And you killed him who gave you life.
And now there is no more no hope
for good in your heart.
Now you're doomed to evil forever!
No, it was he that wanted it, not you.
You were only the instrument of his hatred of life.
But I killed him, mother.
I wanted...
to kill him.
- I'm guilty anyway. - No.
That's not true.
When you were born He wanted his son
to reign over the whole world of the living.
You were to be the most evil wizard
the most powerful in the whole world.
You gave him your permission?
Why did you do so?
Because I had less power than him.
The only way to protect you
was to educate you from the beginning
in evil and cruelty
In order that you should not suffer.
I had to pretend not to love you.
Because if you had known what love is
You would have rebelled.
Maybe together we could have managed to defeat him.
No.
He would have won anyway.
Oh look, what a touching family portrait.
Too bad that while you two were gossiping
- Darken has disappeared! - Then he's alive!
It was one of his tricks.
Well, if you have finished with your silly affectations
it would be better to find a way out
before Darken returns again!
And if we find any weapons to take back with us, all the better!
No, that's his sword, don't touch it!
The volcano! The wrath of Darken awakens the volcano!
Hurry! We must leave before everything collapses!
No, first I have to set Fantaghirт free.
We're out of here.
- Did you hear? - Where is Parsel?
Help, I'm here!
The flowers have him! They're about to eat him!
No!
Hurry! We must do something!
Wait!
Careful, Fantaghirт!
Stop!
Fantaghirт!
What are you doing?
Look out!
- He's our prisoner. - Get off me!
Fantaghirт!
Please help me.
- What should I do? - Bite it.
I cannot bite, I never have.
- I really like you. - Help, help!
Tell me what to do!
Pull them up, pluck them! Have you never picked a flower in your life?
Then I'll make a fine bouquet.
- Fantaghirт. - Parsel.
Do you recognize me? Do you know me?
When Darken was inside me I knew what I was doing.
But wasn't able to resist.
Quick, come away!
Do not move or you are dead!
- Stop! - Well done, just in time.
I had the prisoners, but was ambushed. Without you they'd have fled.
- Ugly monster, traitor! - Shut up, don't ruin everything.
Fyodor, you'll pay for this!
Be quiet and follow us!
Yes, we'll take you to our master.
- Over here, come on! - Where are we?
Follow me.
Come on!
No, let me go!
Get moving!
Let me go!
- Move! - Take your hands off me!
- Where is he? - I do not know.
- I don't want to die without seeing him. - You won't die.
I don't know, but I'll defend myself.
Put that away, you'll spoil everything.
Perhaps it's my castle.
- Stop! - Don't move!
Darken wants him to live with his castle.
Here it is, I've found it.
My castle. Look.
My mother, my father.
You mustn't do that. Don't uncover it.
The glass protects it.
We know your little game.
Come, quick! Let us fly!
You'll pay for this!
We take you, you have no chance!
- Over here, come! - Hurry!
We'll never make it.
Here I am.
We must get out before everything collapses.
Where's Darken?
I hoped to have killed him, but then he disappeared.
You still have your fortune-tellers with you?
Show us the way out!
Look, it's in that direction!
We're not far. It's over there.
Don't be afraid, it's only a statue.
The steps
will lead somewhere.
There must be a passage.
Look, Parsel.
They've stopped, what does it mean?
They're never wrong. The exit must be here.
Maybe we can open it.
But we need something to gain leverage.
There are several slots.
Back inside. Now it's up to us.
We'll use the spears.
Come on, help me.
We'll never do it it's too hard.
Perhaps this is not the way out.
Keep trying. I'll look for another way.
Maybe we can also go here.
Oh, ho ho! But look who we have here.
Our charming little warrior.
How is it when there's trouble you're always around?
- Because I'm trying to solve it. - Not alone, unfortunately.
Often you do it with the help of people
who don't want to help. Like me, for example.
Quick, before the fury of the volcano is unleashed.
I must go back. Hurry!
No, that mouth is the only way out.
I know how to open it.
I know that this mouth is always hungry for new victims.
Is that not true?
Stand back.
Nekrad!
Kadren!
Dranek!
Darken!
Here Darken sacrificed his victims
to appease the wrath of the volcano.
But whoever survived beyond those three rows of teeth
was free.
How awful.
Those teeth are sharp.
From row to row
they move more quickly.
But the only way out
is through this mouth.
Before the volcano erupts.
we'll have to try.
But how? It's impossible. We'll never make it.
The important thing is to keep cool.
And try to calculate the rhythm.
I'll try first.
Done it, It's not difficult!
Parsel, quick. I'll help you.
Here I am.
Angelica, now you.
No wait.
- We calculate the time. - Hurry.
- Now! - Come on!
Fyodor.
Go!
I'm too tall, I'll never make it.
Or rather too afraid.
Afraid, me?
Why ever?
- After you. - No, I'll go last.
Tarabas, you go. Help her from inside.
Now, Tarabas.
This first is slow. Just calculate the right time.
No, I'll find another way to exit.
Hurry.
- You alright? - It wasn't so difficult.
Come on, we'll cross the second row.
Ready?
Now!
Hurry!
Get a move on!
- You all right? - Yes
Go, Parsel, jump.
Hey, you don't expect me to do this?
It won't stay open long enough.
- I'll try it first. - No, it's useless.
You'd only be killed.
There's only one way to go.
We must stop the closing mechanism.
She's right, I'll do it from here.
If we can only stop the first row.
- But you must cross too. - No.
Not just the teeth will stop
You must all jump in a hurry.
Because it will close quickly.
- Wait, don't do it! - I have no other choice, my son.
There is only one way to stop it.
No, I cannot leave you!
No, my son.
Don't waste these precious seconds.
You have to go.
I have always loved you.
Even when I tried to hide my love from you.
No, mother.
No, I won't let you die like that.
Now I am in the mind of Darken.
Listen to me.
I can read his mind,
your destiny.
Your castles...
must be returned to your kingdoms within three days.
As soon as they leave here they will become ever smaller.
But hurry. At sunset of the third day
they will vanish forever.
I'm seeing Darken.
No, be careful.
He is inside one of...
Mother!
Tarabas, now it is too late to do anything.
If you do not flee immediately from here
Her sacrifice will be useless.
Who knows where our horses have got to?
That's strange, Chiomadoro should have waited.
My castle is becoming even smaller.
Even mine too. Where is the sun now?
We've already lost half a day.
- We only have two and a half days, let's go. - On foot?
- You are not obliged to follow, but I go. - Me too.
Tarabas, wait.
Well, we could have rested for a couple of minutes.
And then on foot!
Quickly!
Hurry!
I'm sure that we can make it.
I feel that in here there is life.
I feel a human presence.
And the beating of many hearts.
But I also feel the force
of the spell that imprisons them.
It is so powerful.
Yet I must manage to defeat it.
With my will I must overcome it.
I want and I order you to return to what you were!
I want and I order you to return to your natural state!
I command you to return to your natural state!
I command you
The strength of Darken is much more powerful than mine.
Never mind, at least we tried.
Congratulations, it was a magnificent exhibition.
I gave it my all.
- But I could try again. - No thanks, it would be useless.
The sun is already sinking.
We are all very tired.
Let us rest for a few hours.
I'll continue.
My islands are very far from your kingdom.
And besides, I don't feel so tired.
Our paths would however have to separate.
But how then do we defeat Darken,
without your weapons and your courage?
I know it will be tough without me.
But I must first think of all my people.
I'll leave the fortune-tellers as a keepsake.
My island is full of these insects.
Thank you, I'll cherish them preciously.
Thanks, Parsel.
You'd better be off now, otherwise perhaps you'll cry.
Any excuse is good for you women.
You always like a good weep.
Farewell to you all.
When everything is over
And if it ends well, we'll meet again.
You can be sure.
There will always be a place for you on my island.
You can come whenever you want.
Just don't dare speak again of love.
You cannot sleep because you think you've failed her?
- She will never love me. - Yes, you know, she will.
Because when she finds her way home, if she ever does,
she will never find her love.
I don't understand. What do you mean?
You don't understand because you don't know.
Wait!
You know things that we don't. You were in the service of Darken.
What are you hiding?
I cannot talk to anyone, otherwise...
- She would know. - What should she not know?
Tell me what will happen when the castle returns to normal.
Romualdo...
will not be there.
What has happened? Where is he?
Darken killed him.
But before he died, he spoke to me.
He told me that if you ever met Fantaghirт
I had to trust her to you.
To me?
Romualdo knew how much you loved her.
And wherever his spirit is now
he would like
that you protect her.
And that she spends the rest of her life with you.
Because
Because you succeed in making her love you.
Really Romualdo told you this?
Yes, believe me.
It's as if he spoke it from my very lips.
Love her, Tarabas.
Make her happy.
Now
Romualdo can no more do so.
Darken is in one.
Yes, why didn't I think of it before?
Xellesia before dying wanted to say:
Darken is in one of you. But who?
King Tohor wants them alive!
Get them!
Don't let them escape!
What's happening? Hands off!
Let me go!
Let me, I said!
No!
Yes, capture them all, except me.
Wait, they are my friends. I am Princess Angelica.
Get a move on!
- No! - We have orders to capture you too!
Let me go!
Good!
Stop, we won't harm you.
Chiomadoro, What are you doing with the enemy?
The same as you.
I'm a prisoner-of-war too.
Look out, one of them is running away.
Thanks, but I can do without your shackles
and your chains.
I'm afraid for now you'll have to do without me. Goodbye!
Where is she?
- Yet she was here. - Where's she gone? - What devilry is this?
It's magic!
They are not our enemies, father, set them free.
They must reach the kingdom of Fantaghirт before daybreak.
Be still, my daughter.
You and your friends are responsible for the death
of my boy, of my beloved son, poor Rufus.
But they're innocent. Rufus sacrificed his life for them.
To the prisons!
And as for you, locked in your room
And do not leave it for any reason.
My love, I came to rescue you.
How did you get out from your room?
My maids are faithful.
Now I'll go fetch a horse
then I'll let you out of an unattended side door.
We can free the others.
No, I cannot take three horses, I would be discovered.
- Meanwhile, think of yourself. - I cannot abandon Fantaghirт.
Tomorrow is the last day.
At sunset, her castle will disappear forever.
Take it for her to her kingdom
But hurry so that no one will see you.
- Not even you can sleep? - But how could I?
We are stuck here,
prisoners.
And my castle is forever smaller.
Maybe we would not have made it anyway.
We would not have arrived in time.
And even if we had done
who told you that Tarabas would manage to win
with his magic?
By now you must learn to live with the fact
that you will never see Romualdo again.
As long as my heart still beats
I will search for him.
And I will fight to find him.
I will never give in.
No love, not even the greatest could ask so much.
They are just memories.
Beautiful memories.
There are not only memories.
I see him, and feel him
as if even now
he was close.
Now you suffer, Fantaghirт.
But I am sure that one day you'll be able to forget.
No, Romualdo will live in me.
In my every smile.
In every word. In all my gestures.
He is ever present.
If I struggle, he struggles with me.
If I breathe, he breathes with me.
If I sleep, he sleeps with me.
Romualdo...
is so strong, so kind.
Tender as a child and passionate as a man.
He has always protected me.
And when I am with him nothing seems impossible.
I love him too much to lose him.
Or to forget.
But you are crying.
No.
It's just the wind, something in my eye.
No, it's not true.
It's because
Because even I have loved, Fantaghirт.
I have not always been as I am.
Once I had a kingdom.
And a great love.
Then Darken took everything.
And now I'm searching for her.
As you do.
But you must find her.
And what would she find? A monster.
No, the man she loves.
She would never recognize me.
She'd recognize your eyes.
No.
Not even those.
And the pain of having lost me
would become the pain of finding me.
I don't know where she is now.
Nor what she does.
But in my heart...
I would prefer to know she is happy...
next to someone...
who loves her as I have loved her.
You have no right to choose for her.
I accept only in the name of what has been
And not of what will be.
I cannot condemn her to live in the shadow of a memory.
But no!
It's absurd.
I know that I could never love anyone else.
Not even Tarabas?
Could you love not even him?
No, not even him.
Even though Romualdo was dead.
I could never love another man.
Are you so sure?
Do you love him so much?
Yes
I do not live in memories.
My love for Romualdo
lives for other tomorrows
and not for yesterdays.
I wonder how can you stay here sleeping peacefully
while the solution to your problems
is in your very hand.
- And what's that solution? - Tarabas.
But his magic is no longer so strong.
His magic
and the magic of Darken are exactly the same thing.
If now his is weaker it's only because, thanks to you
you've turned him into a stupid, shrinking violet!
But you and you alone, if you wish, can return him again
to his former self. Try to re-awaken his evil.
Bring back his wickedness and he will become stronger than before.
Don't be so foolish, I could never do such a thing.
I could never be made to something that...
Fyodor, wake up!
He'll never waken!
I've dropped a magic blanket of sleep throughout the castle.
They will wake only when you and I
- have escaped. - Escape?
To go where?
To get back your vanished castle.
Ah, my castle.
- Who's taken my castle? - Tarabas.
And is taking it back to your kingdom
Because he hopes to resurrect it for you.
But he won't succeed, there's not enough nastiness in him.
But you could return the power he had.
Only you can do it.
You need only to kiss him.
Kiss him, you have done so already.
Just so as to give him his evil power.
I don't want to, go away!
This I will never do!
But this you will do because I command you to!
Look into my eyes.
But who are you?
You are not the Dark Witch.
I am Darken, yes.
He is traveling inside of me.
Get out!
- Go away! - You cannot say no!
My will is stronger than yours!
It is useless to resist me.
I am Darken.
From now on your lord and master!
You can do nothing other than obey me!
You will kiss him
and when the beast
which is dormant within him
awakens he will devour you.
At that point he'll be left with one and only outcome.
Face to face with his crime
he'll have no more hope of returning to goodness.
He will be more evil than before.
The world will tremble again
before its Prince of Evil
While I instead will be able to rejoice
Because finally I shall find my son!
There he is.
Rejoin him, convince him that you are willing to love him.
And then try to snatch a kiss.
A nice, passionate kiss.
Come on, go!
Remember that you cannot escape me.
You are a prisoner of my will.
Go and me give back my son.
Come on, go now!
Kiss him, Fantaghirт.
You must kiss him.
Only you can bring back the evil. Your kiss is enough.
Tarabas, stop!
Stop, it's me!
Fantaghirт.
Why did you go without saying anything?
I would have come back to free you, But how did you flee?
It's more important that you ask me why I did so.
I did it neither for Romualdo, nor for my castle.
I did it for you.
What do you say? I do not understand.
I had a long night to think about us.
One cannot live only on memories.
And I do not wish to destroy what I have created. Your goodness.
If you kill Darken I will regain again my castle.
But you? You will be lost to me forever.
And then the world will have a new demon.
But don't you think of Romualdo?
Your loved ones? Your people?
I have already lost them a long time ago
in the moment in which I loved you.
Even if I dared not admit it even to myself.
You lie.
No, why would I lie?
You seem strange, I do not recognise you.
But how?
You have done so much to get my love.
And now I am ready to give it, do you not want it?
I love you.
Tell me this is not a trick.
That I can abandon myself to my love.
Swear it, tell me you don't lie.
Kiss me...
and you will doubt no more.
A kiss.
Another kiss.
You know that I can transform into a beast
And I have no more chains to hold me.
But you have no more need.
Because inside of you there is no more evil.
How do I know?
Don't worry.
Come on, kiss me.
And with your kiss
let me forget that once I loved another.
You lied to me!
What did I do?
No!
Tarabas, What did I do?
Forgive me! It was Darken!
He imposed his will on me!
Forgive me!
Darken controlled me!
Has forced me!
I didn't realize what I was doing!
Now his will, has moved inside of me!
He wants me to kill you!
No, please!
No, don't do it!
Stop it!
No, what did you do?
You killed him!
I didn't free you
to kill him! Tarabas!
Stop, wait!
A trick.
I should have known it was only a terrible deception!
Is that what you wanted?
Since you couldn't love him you'd rather he died?
It wasn't me, it was Darken.
The Dark Witch.
A curse on you!
I was just about to get him back!
But don't think you have saved him for ever.
I will be everywhere around you.
I will not leave you until...
I have restored my son.
I will never allow you to.
I have not got my son
but you will never regain
your castle. All that's left you
is your stupid Romualdo.
Hey, girl, go easy on the jokes!
- Put down that sword! - What did you say? Repeat it.
I told you to put down that sword!
No, before, about Romualdo. What did you say?
Don't ask me, ask Darken.
He just used me as a means of transport, what a disgrace!
He took me for a horse?
Darken said that I'm left with Romualdo, what does it mean?
Haven't you understood yet?
You're a proper fool.
He has always been close.
Next to you since
the moment you reached my kingdom.
Turn around and you'll see.
No, don't listen to him, please!
Don't you want to see your love?
Don't turn around, don't do it.
Otherwise you'll never see me again.
Romualdo!
Stop! Come back!
Romualdo!
It was just an illusion.
No, it really was him.
It was Darken who transformed him.
Romualdo!
Fyodor!
Oh, poor Fantaghirт.
"Poor Fantaghirт"? But what’s happening to me?
I'm feeling sorry for her? I'm without hope!
Look, now I'm leaving. Best wishes.
Because by dint of helping you I've become so good
I don't even know myself!
Your company has completely ruined me!
Romualdo! Fyodor!
Stop, I beg you!
Romualdo!
Go!
Romualdo!
Do not hide yourself.
Go, go, I implore you.
Go away, I beg you.
How can you ask me to go away
right now that I've found you?
I implore you, please leave.
Romualdo is no more, he no longer exists.
Forget him.
How can I forget?
And how can I live
knowing that somewhere in the world you're there?
I no longer have anything of Romualdo.
I am no longer him.
No, it's not true.
Your eyes are his.
Your voice, your smile, your tears.
I love you.
No, quiet, please, I beg you!
If you really love me...
leave me here.
Leave me alone.
I do not want your pity.
Do not lose any more time with me.
Think of the castle.
There are only a few more hours.
How can you confuse my love with pity?
Do you think that I have loved only your face?
After much time spent together do you no longer know me?
I suffer greatly.
And I fear that the pain...
has become stronger than the love we had between us.
- Better say goodbye. - No, don't say that.
Don't touch me, don't do it!
Romualdo, my love!
No, it cannot be true.
Well, Fantaghirт.
The sun is setting
And you have not yet arrived at your castle.
I can do no more.
I've no more strength.
Don't talk like that.
Don't say these things, Your people need you.
Only you can save them.
You cannot think only of your love.
Come on!
Well said!
Do not give up, continue to fight!
Yes, you're right.
I will never surrender.
I will try before it's too late.
I think he's recovering.
It'll be better if he sees you.
You must love him very much.
But he'll never know I exist.
He's to much in love with you.
But never mind.
The important thing is that he's happy, even if it will be with you.
For me, he's just a friend.
Besides, I have no time to think of love.
The fate of my realm is tied to the last ray of sunshine.
Farewell, Fantaghirт.
Friends never say "goodbye".
See you soon, Angelica.
Fantaghirт, wait for me!
Tarabas, are you crazy? Your wound.
Wound? I still have a little magic.
You have taught me what love is.
But its rules are too cruel.
None of us have a happy love.
No, no.
Too much pain, too many tears.
You need someone to make you smile.
And maybe I can do it.
At least if that smile depends on me.
I want to change the rules. He who loves will be loved in return.
And who suffers because they cannot have the love they want,
the love they need
will finally achieve it.
But how can you do this?
It's enough to want it, to begin, and already today
someone will be able to have the love they've dreamed of.
I'll return to Angelica.
And if I can make her happy, maybe one day
I'll learn how to be so myself.
Then go. Don't wait a moment more.
We'll see you soon. Hurry to save your castle.
The sun awaits you.
Poor Fantaghirт.
She's just found Romualdo and has already lost him.
- Is it only for her that you weep? - Her too.
Because...
Because if you cry for yourself, then stop.
I do not want to see you cry.
I want to fall in love with you.
Help me to love you.
And teach me to be happy.
The castles must return to your realms within 3 days.
Hurry. Because at the third sunset
they will vanish forever.
Here is all I have left.
What remains of my life
has almost vanished.
But there is still the sun.
The time I have available has not yet expired, Darken.
Where are you?
Where are you hiding?
Come out.
I know you can hear me.
I accepted your challenge and I won.
Now give me back what belongs to me!
I have battled time
and won.
Give me back my kingdom.
You have won the battle
but not the war.
Undo the curse, Darken.
To undo my curse you must undo me.
You have to kill me!
And you must do so before sunset
Then let's lose no time in talking.
I thought to finish you off with the first blow
and you have brought me down.
It won't be so easy, a duel with me.
But I have all the time I want, not you!
The sun is setting.
You're finished, Fantaghirт.
Now, no one and nothing can save you.
Die!
No, you can not vanish so. I defeated you Darken.
You have to take away with you your curse!
You have killed only a part of me
Do you not remember? We were three.
But I cannot fight all of you.
This will be your punishment for what you have done to my son,
Now you are unarmed.
I can fight you even with my hands.
You can do nothing against my magic!
You cannot escape, you are alone!
No, not alone.
Thanks, Tarabas.
Just in time.
Angelica has returned to her kingdom.
She awaits me.
But I could not leave you alone.
I do not want you to sacrifice yourself for me.
You mustn't do this because you loved me.
No, I do it not for that.
So why?
Don't you remember? It was you that you told me.
I am the one who can help you, asking nothing in return.
On me you can always count.
Have you no need of a true friend?
Thank you.
I am ready to face you for the last time.
Yours is not an easy task.
Because you see, it's not with your sword that you can ever defeat me.
The mighty sword of Darken, my sword.
Forged in the blood of the ancient gods.
Whose blade has separated right from wrong.
Sorrow from happiness.
And tears from smiles.
Only this sword can kill me, my son.
And only when its tip shall enter my heart
All my curses and all my spells will vanish.
Only this sword can enable you to free yourself.
But beforehand you must win it.
Don't stain yourself with this crime, Please.
- He's your father. - Enough of this talk!
You have no more need to provoke my hate
to force me to face you!
Next time, strike with more force and cruelty!
Strike me and take the sword!
Then all the horrors of this world will be yours!
If it's only this that you need, then you'll be satisfied, father.
My fate will be fulfilled...
But at least you will disappear from the face of the earth!
If this is the sword that can kill you, then say goodbye to life!
You may not even imagine
how long I have waited for this moment.
Come on, strike me!
All that's left you is a single ray of sunshine.
No, don't do it!
Don't do it.
Are you crazy?
Get away from here. The sun has almost set.
True, it's almost down.
But I'm still here
And I do not need my sword to be able to kill you!
Farewell!
You two and the last ray of sunshine
will meet the same end!
And perish together!
No!
The sun is setting.
I offered you a choice
but you have refused it
and I am used to winning.
Not this time!
The sun There is still the sun.
Tarabas!
The castle!
Run!
Look, Fantaghirт, we did it.
The curse is over.
My Castle has returned as it was.
Everything is as before.
No!
The curse on me is without end, I told you.
I will be Fyodor forever.
My face has remained the same, look at it.
- I will remain a monster forever. - Wait!
Wait, Fyodor!
Let me go!
Let your Queen pass!
Run, Fantaghirт! Run to him!
Romualdo!
I'll never be as before, never again!
Romualdo!
Where are you?
Answer me, please!
Romualdo!
We've defeated the evil!
We've found our kingdom!
Romualdo!
No, stop...
if you really love me.
Are you sure
that it is not your pity?
Are you really ready to love me
as I am?
My love, your appearance does not matter to me.
Perhaps to start with I fell in love with you with my eyes.
But then it was my heart which loved you.
And now my heart
has no more need of my eyes.
I do not doubt your heart.
But when I feel
your gaze rest
on my monstrosity
I shudder
at the thought
of what you see.
My love, I still love you just as the first time.
Forgive me.
I did not want to test you.
And I will never do so again.
I have suffered too much
at the thought of losing you.
Although in my heart
I never doubted your love.
I know.
And I've always felt it.
Even in that horrible world, in that prison.
We will never part.
And no one will be able to separate us.
Now I am so very happy.
Do you miss someone?
Now back to Angelica.
Fly my friend fly like the wind.
Yes, I am afraid that I miss Fyodor a bit.
Me too.
