The Boy's Departure

[theme music]
[wind gusting softly]
[panting]
Whoa! It's a roc!
[panting continues]
Hey, Grandpa! Check it out!
- Look up there! In the sky! The sky!
- [Varghese] What is it?
Oh! Haven't seen one of those in a while.
Come on! You gotta catch it
before it takes off!
- I don't have anything on me!
- [Varghese] All right then.
- I'll be right there.
- It's all up to you, Grandpa!
[Varghese grunts]
Hmm
[Percival] I'm telling you,
it's gonna get away if you don't hurry!
[Varghese] Don't rush me.
[grunts]
Here it goes!
[screeching]
[amazed gasp]
[panting]
[Percival grunts]
Yeah! I got you now!
[whimpering]
[Varghese] This is bad!
[grunts, shouts]
Percival!
[clattering]
[Percival] Phew. That was a close one.
[Varghese] Oh.
[sheepish chuckle]
[Percival grunts]
[thrilling music]
[grunting]
[Percival] I'd say this bird is prepped!
[Varghese] Well done, my boy.
You handled that blade
like a real professional.
[thrilling music continues]
[Percival]
Now dig in and stuff your belly.
Yeah. And make sure
to eat your fill as well.
[grunts]
Here I go!
[fierce grunting]
[munching]
Not too bad, huh, Percival?
[gulps]
So good!
[Percival chomps, munching]
[air hissing]
Let's have a round of gouren wrestling!
Very well.
Come at me any way you want.
Here I come!
- [effort grunt]
- [gasps]
[loud thud]
[Percival grunts]
I got you now!
- [Percival grunts]
- [grunts, groans]
[Percival grunting]
Oh! Whoa, whoa!
Today's the day I'm finally gonna win!
[Percival grunting]
[Percival exclaims]
Huh?
- Whoa! Whoa! Wait!
- [Varghese chuckles]
- [Varghese grunts]
- [screams, groans]
[annoyed groan]
Come on, this stinks!
I can't believe I lost you again.
Oh, dear. That was such a close call.
I went all out and didn't even realize it.
Wait. Did you really?
- [cheering]
- [Varghese] Try not to catch a cold.
I'll get the dishes washed down
at the spring.
[high-pitched cheer]
- [Varghese humming]
- [water splashing]
Good gracious.
Feels like not too long ago,
he was just a baby.
It certainly is astounding
how quickly grandkids grow up.
[Varghese humming]
- [tense sting]
- [shocked grunt]
Not good. Not good!
I can't believe it.
How could I have forgotten?
[grunts, pants]
There you are, Percival!
Huh?
[Varghese] Tomorrow's the big day!
We've got a birthday to celebrate!
Whose is it?
[loud thud]
What do you mean, "whose"?
It's yours, of course.
How old will I be?
[Varghese] You'll be 16, my boy!
Honestly, who in the world forgets
how old they are?
At 16, you're a full-fledged grown-up.
Oh, yeah? Then does that mean
I could finally drink booze
with you, Grandpa?
- [Varghese] It's still too soon for that.
- [groans]
[Percival] Come on, Grandpa!
Spill it already.
What is it that you wanna show me?
Did you get me a present?
Follow me and you'll find out.
[wind gusting]
Well, son
[Percival] Huh?
[Varghese] You're almost 16.
Don't you have any desire
to leave the Finger of God
and go out into the wide world
for an adventure you'll never forget?
Hmm?
Not really.
- [dramatic sting]
-"Not really"?
Are you sure?
When I turned 16,
my spirit of adventure was so strong,
I couldn't leave my hometown fast enough!
So why don't you wanna go?
'Cause every day with you is a blast.
[grunts]
Listen well.
Past the sea of clouds,
you might catch a glimpse
of a massive shadow way out there.
[Percival] Yeah, I know.
You've told me about it before.
It's the island of the winged people,
isn't it?
[Varghese] That's the one.
And it's said to have been built
by the winged people of the goddess race.
They say it's even floating in the sky.
Incredible, right?
"They say," huh?
So it's a place
that you've never seen for yourself?
[grunts]
Well, I don't have wings.
[Varghese] But that's not all!
[echoing]
Below our humble abode,
known as the Finger of God,
lies the great land of Britannia,
a magical place
where thrilling adventures and mysteries
are just waiting to be discovered!
- [Percival] Adventures and mysteries?
- That's right.
[Varghese] The twisted tower
where a mage dwells with a guarded heart.
The knight who guides a Phantom Ship
through the skies.
The great cave with countless air holes
leading straight to hell.
The lady of the enchanted lake
who lures and ensnares heroes.
The tangled forest
that's impossible to find your way out of.
There's more too.
Isn't that a little exciting?
- [Percival groaning]
- Hmm?
I'm pretty hungry.
Since we're out here, what do you say
we catch some skyfish for dinner?
[Varghese groans]
[Percival] We sure caught a great one.
It's so fatty.
[chomping]
[Varghese] Good grief.
You're different from your father.
His thirst for adventure was so great
that the moment he came of age,
he left home and never looked back.
You're talking about my dead dad?
[coughing]
Uh, never mind that.
[Varghese] Still though,
doesn't living in such a remote place
ever make you feel lonely?
No way.
[chomps]
[Varghese] Why is that?
[giggles]
Because you're with me, Grandpa.
[grunts, sighs]
[Varghese] Goodness, you're so boring.
[Percival] Like I said,
it's not boring at all.
[Varghese] Oh, forget it.
[crackling]
Grandpa.
Let's spend tomorrow
catching a big rock lizard.
I'm talking really big!
"Your eyes see through evil,
your mouth speaks only the truth,
your heart is filled with justice,
and your sword destroys the wicked."
You say that
every time you start drinking.
What is it?
[Varghese] It's just an old creed.
[Percival] Hmm?
[inhales deeply]
[Varghese exhales deeply]
[Varghese] Percival, one day,
you too will
"Destroy the wicked
and lend the weak aid."
[soft gasp]
"And above all else,
defend that which is most dear to you
with your life."
- [Percival] Right?
- Hmm?
[soft groan]
[laughs]
Just leave it to me.
No matter what,
I would do that to protect you, Gramps.
[Varghese gasps]
Hmph!
Cheeky pup!
- [giggles]
- [Varghese] I'm not so decrepit
that I need my grandson's protection.
[snoring]
[soft grunt]
[Varghese snoring loudly]
[tranquil music]
[Percival] The twisted tower
where a mage dwells with a guarded heart.
The knight who guides a Phantom Ship
through the skies.
The great cave with countless air holes
leading straight to hell.
The lady of the enchanted lake
who lures heroes and ensnares them.
The tangled forest
that you can never find your way out of.
Oh, wow!
[grunts]
[grunts]
Honestly, the thought of it all
sounds so thrilling and exciting
that I can't stay still!
[grunts]
[groans]
[Percival] But it's fine.
And that's because I have Grandpa.
[Percival] Grandpa?
Hey, I'm over here.
What's that?
I can't hear you very well.
[inaudible chatter]
A dream?
[grunts]
[yawns, sighs]
[groaning]
- [distant creaking]
- Huh?
[creaking continues]
[gasping]
[dramatic sting]
[wind gusting]
[creaking]
[man] Well, isn't this a surprise?
The response I got from my familiar
when it was struck down pointed to him,
but it's no wonder I couldn't find him
anywhere down on the ground.
[Percival] You You're
You're the knight
who guides a Phantom Ship
through the skies from Grandpa's story!
I guess
the tale really was true after all, huh?
[man] Greetings.
It seems you've caught me
in the middle of looking for someone.
Do you happen to know
an individual named Varghese?
Yeah. That's my grandpa's name.
[man] Oh.
In that case, I assume
you're the grandson of Sir Varghese.
[Percival] And who are you?
[man] I'm just an old friend of his.
Back when we were Holy Knights.
[Percival] Holy Knights?
[man] It was 16 years ago
when he and I parted ways,
but now I have an urgent errand with him.
If you go behind this hill,
you'll find our home.
I think he's in the middle
of making breakfast
at the moment though.
Anyway, would it be okay
if I got a closer look at your boat?
- [man] You mean my Phantom Ship?
- Oh, please, please, please, please!
[man] Of course. Take your time.
Yes! Whoo-hoo!
[man] What a cruel man.
So he raised the boy
without telling him the truth.
- [gasps]
- [dramatic sting]
[footsteps thudding]
What did he say?
Hmm.
So amazing!
I wonder
how it floats in the air like this.
[gasps]
Will he be upset
if I boarded without asking?
[grunts]
It's not moving.
Maybe only a true Holy Knight
has what it takes
to get a boat like this to move.
Not that I know what a Holy Knight is.
Still, I'm not sure about him.
That man was kinda creepy.
[uneasy music]
[Varghese grunting]
[Varghese] Percival, that rascal,
where could he be running about
all morning?
[man] Using the sword bestowed
by Your Majesty as a mere knife?
That sounds like something you would do.
- [whooshes]
- [Varghese grunts]
[explosions]
[man] 16 years have passed
since you betrayed our master and fled.
I never imagined you were living
a peaceful life in such a remote place.
[Varghese]
You're the ones who betrayed the master.
All I did was run away.
[grunts]
- [Varghese grunting]
- [swords clanking]
[grunts, groans]
[tense music]
[coughs]
- [Percival] Stop it!
- [man] Hmm?
What the heck have you done to my grandpa?
[rumbling]
[man] There's an order to everything.
You're next.
Be patient.
[grunts]
Back away from him now!
[grunting]
[grunts]
[shouts]
[man] My, my. How undisciplined.
[grunts]
Get out of here now, Percival!
Never!
[Percival] I can't just leave you here!
[man] Don't worry.
Neither of you will get away.
[pained groan]
- [gasps]
- [splats]
[gags]
Perci
- [loud thud]
- [Varghese groans]
[man] If you want to blame someone,
blame your grandfather.
[blasts]
[tense music continues]
[groaning]
[grunts]
[shouts]
[Percival groaning]
[coughs]
[Percival groans]
[groaning]
[Varghese grunts]
[in weak voice]
Ironside
Why have you chosen now to come for me?
[Ironside] A few days ago,
an abominable prophecy was revealed.
It foretold the emergence of those
who would bring about
the downfall of our lord, King Arthur
[Ironside] They are known
as the Four Knights of the Apocalypse.
[Ironside] Their identities and specifics
remain a mystery.
Meaning that anyone with the potential
to become one of them must be dealt with.
No matter how far you've fallen,
it's impossible to be certain
of what you truly are.
[Varghese]
So, is that why you struck down Percival?
Because of his potential?
Don't you have a heart?
[Ironside]
It was all for the greater good.
[Varghese groaning]
Percival
Forgive me.
[groans]
[Percival] Grandpa, I'm
[sniffles]
I'm so sorry.
- [somber music]
- I I couldn't do anything to help.
Then you got hurt
because I couldn't protect you.
[Varghese] No.
I'm the one who was supposed
to have been protecting you
from something like this.
[Percival sniffles]
But keeping you safe
was all I wanted to do, Grandpa.
I would lay down my life
to defend my family.
[Percival sobbing]
[sobbing continues]
Don't cry.
I've never been the one
you are meant to defend.
It's time for you to find them now.
In your travels, you'll find those
you can trust with your heart
and journey through life together.
[Percival] This must be
some kind of sick divine punishment
all because I lied to you that day.
[Percival] The truth is
I longed to go on an exciting adventure.
[sniffles]
And that's why why God's taking you
[Varghese] I see.
In that case,
you should know I lied to you as well.
- Hearing you say
- [Percival] Huh?
you weren't lonely because I was with you
brought me great happiness.
Grandpa
[coughs]
[body thuds]
Grandpa, hang in there!
[Varghese] And you?
Are you all right
after the blow he dealt you?
I'm totally fine.
It's not like you trained me
every single day
for the past 16 years for nothing.
[Varghese chuckles]
Listen carefully, Percival.
That man in the red armor,
he's a Holy Knight by the name of Ironside
and he's your father.
[surprised gasp]
[Percival] How is that possible?
I thought he was dead.
[Varghese] No, I'm sorry.
It's a long, complicated story.
It can't be!
If he was really my dad,
then why would he do such a thing?
There's no time to explain it to you.
If you truly want to know,
you'll find the answers you're after
by seeking out your father.
Go on a journey, Percival.
From now on, you must go alone.
[sobs]
But I don't wanna be alone!
Please, Grandpa!
You can't die. Please don't go!
Stay right here with me!
[Percival sobbing]
[Varghese] In the days to come,
I will be with you every step of the way.
Percival, my dearest grandson
- [breathing shakily]
- [Varghese] My boy
My hope
[grunts]
[Percival sniffles, sobs]
[Percival screams]
Grandpa!
[somber music]
[somber music continues]
[somber music continues]
[Varghese] It might be a little lonely,
but I'm still excited.
[breathing shakily]
[sobs]
[Percival] Grandpa
[crying quietly]
[music fades]
[Varghese] In the days to come,
I will be with you every step of the way.
[bright music]
Here I go, Grandpa.
[grunts]
- [music stops]
- [groans]
[groans]
[thrilling music]
[grunting]
[grunts]
It's been an entire day
since I started climbing down,
but I still can't see below the clouds.
[snoring softly]
[Percival] Grandpa
[grunting]
[grunts, whimpers]
Oh, man, that was close.
[exclaims]
[Percival] There it is!
You see that, Grandpa? I did it.
In just a little bit,
I'll be arriving in Britannia! Ah
[Percival screams]
[Percival grunts]
Thanks for saving me, roc!
I'll never eat you again
[Percival grunts]
I'll eat every last one of you!
[screaming]
- [Percival grunting]
- [leaves rustling]
[groaning]
Nice. I finally made it.
[light music]
Huh?
Huh?
