Alright, so I got asked by NightOwlHope if I was going to have them react to Through The Moon. The answer is, I don't know. I honestly never really thought about it. If you guys want me to, I could. Let me know if you want that. Enjoy!
Rayla: Come on. We've gotta keep moving. We're so close to the border. We could be in Xadia in just a few hours.
Ezran: I know we're close Rayla, but Callum's not doing well.
Rayla: That's his own fault for messing with dark magic.
"Huh. I've never seen such a reaction to dark magic before." Viren said curiously.
"What, that isn't normal?" Rayla asked. Viren shook his head.
Callum: Mmm-hmm. Yes, you're right. We must move onward. I'm okay. I just need to rest my eyes while we walk.
Soren: I don't feel anything.
Claudia: Can you feel it when I do this?
Soren: No, what are you doing?
Claudia: I'm pinching you, Soren.
Soren: Well, that's just rude.
Claudia: Hold on. I'll have you back on your feet in no time. And the last step had just a tap of grasshopper goop.
Soren: Oh, do we really have to-- Well, that was super pretty, but I still can't move.
Claudia: You can't? But that should have… Hold on. I must have something. Ugh. That's all I have for healing. Well, don't just stand there! Help me get him back to town. We need to find a doctor.
Callum: I'm so uncomfortable.
Rayla: Uncomfortable with your choice to use dark magic, perhaps?
Ezran: Rayla! Is that any better?
Callum: So uncomfortable. I'm so uncomfortable! Somethings down there. No!
"Oh, great. The weird dream that I really don't want to ever see again." Callum said.
Marcus: We've searched everywhere. Lord Viren is nowhere to be found.
Opeli: Keep looking. And when you do find him, be ready for anything. Do not underestimate him.
Viren: Who are you?
Aaravos: My name would mean nothing to you.
Viren: Where are you?
Aaravos: I don't know.
Viren: Don't lie to me.
Aaravos: I'm not lying. I never lie.
Viren: I found this mirror in the lair of the Dragon King. This mirror meant something to him. You meant something to him.
Aaravos: Perhaps. Tell me what you need, and I will help you.
Viren: I need your name.
Aaravos: Aaravos.
Dream place
Callum: Who are you?
Callum: Who… who are you?
Rayla: He's delirious.
Ezran: It's getting worse.
Rayla: Who's there? Show yourself, or I'll greet you with my pointy friends. You.
Corvus: I'm not here to fight. My name is Corvus. Your Aunt Amaya sent me. I am here to serve the king. King Ezran.
"So, this is when he found out." Callum whispered. Rayla nodded.
Claudia: Well? How long will it take for him to get better?
Doctor: He's not going to get better.
Claudia: What?
Doctor: He won't die. He's lucky to have survived a direct attack from a dragon. But he's never going to walk again. I haven't told him yet.
Soren tensed up. The old fear of never moving again crept back in.
Claudia: Don't. I'll tell him. He should hear it from me.
Ezran: But I'm not the king. I'm just a prince. My dad is… Wait. That's not what you're saying. He isn't… No! No, no, no!
Rayla: Ezran, it's going to be okay.
Ezran: You knew? I'm an idiot! I should have figured it out. When we met you had two of those assassiny ribbon things, but one of them came off that night.
Rayla: That's right. That must have been when he fell.
Ezran: "Fell"?
Rayla: Yes.
Ezran: "Fell"? He didn't fall, Rayla. He didn't trip and land on the ground. He got killed! Callum… does he know yet?
Rayla: He knows.
Ezran: I'm going for a walk.
Corvus: I can't let you go alone.
Ezran: If I am the king, then you have to let me go.
Rayla: You're not my king. But you are my friend, and I'm coming with you.
Ezran: Rayla, please. Just let me go be alone. Please.
Viren: Let's see here. Aaravos… Aaravos… "Aaravos"! There! What? What's going on here? "Aaravos." What's happening?
Librarian: Shh! You're in a library.
Viren: Yes, I'm quite aware I'm in a--
Librarian: Shh!
Callum's weird dream.
"Oh, we're back here." Callum said unenthusiastically.
Dark Callum: Callum, don't be frightened.
Callum: I'm not, I'm just…
Both: Confused.
Dark Callum: Of course you are. You tried dark magic for the first time. No one expects that to be easy.
Callum: But that's the thing. It was easy. Too easy. Even though I know it's wrong.
"At least you know it was wrong." Runaan said while glaring at Callum.
Dark Callum: But is it really so wrong?
Callum: Yes.
Dark Callum: Is it though?
Callum: Yes.
Dark Callum: Is it?
Callum: Yes!
Dark Callum: Callum, look at me. You're looking at yourself. You need to accept your destiny.
Callum: I can't do that.
Dark Callum: You're a human. You weren't born with an Arcanum to do primal magic, but you were born to do magic. The kind of magic humans can do. You can have unlimited power. And you can choose what to do with that power! You can make a real difference in the world. All you need to do is accept it. Your destiny is already written.
"No, we have to wait to see his choice?" Gren complained.
Claudia: Hey, Sor-Sor. All the people in town are talking about you. About how you faced the dragon and saved the town. Everyone's calling you a hero.
Soren: Save them from the problem I caused, maybe. Is that what heroes do?
Claudia: So I… I talked to the doctor. And I guess they did some tests--
Soren: I already know.
Claudia: What?
Soren: I can't move. I can't walk. And it's not going to get better. You know what? It's for the best. I'm glad I can't move.
Claudia: What are you talking about? Soren, why would you say that?
Soren: Before we left, Dad gave me a secret mission.
Claudia: He did?
Soren: I was confused, and I didn't want to do it, but...I do want Dad to love me and be proud of me.
Claudia: He is proud of you, no matter what.
Soren: Dad is so smart, so I figured there must be a good reason.
Claudia: Soren, what did Dad ask you to do?
Soren: Kill the princes.
Claudia: Kill them? No. No. No, that can't be right. You must have misunderstood.
Soren: Now I can't do anything terrible, because… now I can't do anything.
"Soren, you're still shaking." Amaya said. Soren looked up in surprise and she smiled.
Back in Callum's dream.
Dark Callum: Accept your destiny.
"No, Callum. Don't do it." Sarai pleaded.
Harrow: Callum. You are free. You are free from both the past and the future. Nothing is written in stone. Fate is a lie. You are free!
Dark Callum: Look inside yourself, Callum. This is your destiny. You can't deny it.
"Don't do it." Sarai whispered.
Callum: No! I get to choose who I want to be.
Dark Callum: Your destiny is already written!
Callum: No! Destiny is a book you write yourself!
"Never have I seen a human reject dark magic after using it." Runaan said, amazed.
Callum: That was horrifying.
Harrow: It's your dream, kid.
Corvus: The king is missing.
Rayla: He's not missing. He just went for a walk.
Corvus: And he hasn't returned, and we don't know where he is.
Rayla: Right.
Corvus: That is the definition of missing!
Rayla: Yeah, Yeah, you're right. He's missing.
Corvus: You shouldn't have let him go. We need to find him.
Rayla: Aren't you a tracker? Isn't this your whole job?
Corvus: Yes. I shall bring the kind back safely. You have my word.
Rayla: Ooh, I have his word.
"Corvus has never let me down in the past. He will find Ezran." Amaya said.
Soren: It's okay, Clauds. I'm relieved actually. I'm… I'm free to do what I want, with no expectations from Dad or… or anyone.
Claudia: So, what are you gonna do with this newfound… freedom?
Soren: I've been thinking about that for the last ten minutes, and I've decided I'm going to reinvent myself. I'm gonna be a poet, Claudia!
Claudia: You're not joking?
Soren: I'm going to be a poet, and people will come hear my poems. They'll come visit me, and we'll drink some kind of… soothing tea. And then… and then, I'll say my latest poems to them.
Claudia: Soren, are you sure?
Soren: I already have my first poem. It's a haiku. Just, uh, tell me when you're ready.
Claudia: Um… okay. Ready.
Soren: Dragon smash boy. Say the good words now. They light the hearts of other people. Do you like it? I'm inspiring, right?
" I don't think that's a Haiku." Ethari said.
Claudia: No, Soren, no. That was a terrible poem. And it… it's not even a haiku! Oh… I can't leave you like this. There has to be something.
Doctor: You need to calm down.
Claudia: No, I don't. You need to… calm up! You need to help him!
Doctor: This is a hospital. Miss, we're going to have to assist you out of here.
Claudia: He can't be like this. He can't even count syllables!
"Are you sure he could even do that before he got hit by the dragon?" Rayla asked.
"Hey! I thought we were friends." Soren said.
"Eh, more of a tolerance." Rayla jokes.
Callum's dream.
Villads: Ahoy, Callum! I hear ye be needing a boat.
Callum: Am I be needing a boat?
Villads: You am! For yer voyage! Into yer own heart and mind.
Callum: Let's hope the weather be nice there.
Villads: Hoist the main sail!
Callum: What? I don't know how to hoist any sails.
Villads: It's yer journey. You be the sail, and I'll hoist ye! Find the wind, boy! Be like a wing!
"Okay, that makes a little more sense." Rayla said.
"Yeah, it's kinda hard to describe being a sail." Future Callum said.
Berto: I have questions.
Corvus: You're making this too easy for me, young King! Oh, no. This can't be happening.
"Those are banther tracks." Amaya said.
"Eh, he'll be fine." Rayla said.
Viren: What's going on? Everytime I found a mention of you in an ancient scroll or tome, the entire passage disappeared as soon as I looked! What game are you playing? Ugh! Why should I trust you?
Aaravos: You shouldn't… yet.
Rayla: What's wrong? What happened? Did you lose his trail?
Corvus: No. It's worse than that.
Rayla: What do you mean?
Corvus: King Ezran's trail ends very clearly, very badly. His footprints are replaced by banther tracks. The king's been eaten by a banther!
Rayla: Great job. You've lost the King of Katolis.
Corvus: This isn't funny. Why are you laughing?
Rayla: Your king happens to be a very special boy. He can talk to animals. So if there are banther tracks, it means Ezran caught a ride on the banther, not in the banther.
Claudia: Okay, Claudia, calm down. Everything's going to be okay. Just… say your calming mantra. There is no synonym for cinnamon. (x4)
There is no-- Ezran?
Ezran: Hi, Claudia.
Rayla: You messed with something you shouldn't have messed with, and now you're paying the price.
Callum: Help! Help.
Rayla: You'll get through this. You big dumb human.
Callum's dream turned into a nightmare?
Aggressively throws the Primal Stone.
Villads: Your conscience is a messy place, boyo! Villads out!
Berto: I'm huge!
Rayla: Callum? Are you okay? Callum! Callum!
Alright, the next episode is the season finale and then season 3. I'm so excited. I can't wait to write the reactions when they find out Callum is a Primal Mage.
