Romualdo.

I knew it!

- What happened? - Kidnapped.

Romualdo's been kidnapped.

Stop, knights!

Don't take your arms... if you want to save your lives.

What have you done to Romualdo?

Worry about what we'll do you and your men.

Bring them to the Black Castle

It seems like we've reached our destination.

Yes, but perhaps too late.

Oh, no!

What are we up to now?

Wait for me.

What a shame, so dangerous a journey and arrived late.

Let's hope not, hope they've not all been killed

What do you say, Fantaghiro, are they all dead?

No.

There are no traces of battle, no corpses.

They've been taken prisoner.

And now I am quite alone.

They're all against me.

We're with you.

We'll not surrender.

No, we'll not surrender.

Perhaps we'll fail, but we must try.

Yes, we'll try.

We are on the side of good.

- Fantaghiro. - And of justice.

You're right.

We'll save them...

but I don't know how.

I don't know with what weapons, nor with what courage.

But I won't give up.

And I swear... whilst my heart will beats

and there's breath in my body...

Whilst there's strength in my arm

and a glimmer of life...

I'll stop at nothing...

To free my father, Romualdo and his companions.

By the love I bear them, I swear this solemn oath.

On this bed... you will be at peace.

- Look at him. - Yes Majesty.

Isn't he handsome!

What do you care if a mortal is ugly or beautiful?

I didn't say I liked him.

I only said that he was a fair example of a human being.

Don't you think?

Not bad at all.

And his kiss?

Don't be such a fool!

What question is that?

You should ask me: How was my kiss.

Because that was an unforgettable kiss.

which has cancelled all memories..

Which can hurl any human being into oblivion.

What do you mean?

That he's forgotten Fantaghiro?

Don't you believe what I say? See for yourself.

Look closely.

What do you see in his eyes?

To tell the truth, still her.

Damn! But not for long.

That insignificant little girl! Presumptuous!

The arrogant baggage! Worth less than nothing.

She still has a lot to learn, and I'll teach her everything.

And you know how she'll learn? At her own expense!

Fantaghiro!

Fantaghiro!

Wake up! Wake up!

Romualdo.

No, it's me.

Will you wake up, sleepyhead?

Look, I wasn't sleeping.

I was just thinking with my eyes closed.

Glad to hear it, Then you have a plan?

Obviously I have.

Except that I can't remember.

Meanwhile, you can take off those ridiculous clothes.

Yes, you're right, they're not right for fighting.

I'll give them to Romualdo.

Yes, but hurry, we've already lost too much time.

So there you are?

Those humans!

Can I?

Are you ready, Fantaghiro?

What are you looking at?

Can't you see the young lady's undressing?

Males aren't welcome.

But I'm a horse.

Out!

Where is Romualdo? And where are you holding the King?

Silence, if you don't want to die right now.

Now or tomorrow, what's the difference?

At least let us die with the King and Romualdo.

Who says they're still alive?

There must be an easier way

- into the Black Castle - It's well hidden.

Down!

- And what now? - Enter, the gate is open.

Watch out!

Finally, she's here... too.

Look how she's fallen into my trap!

Soon there'll only be the memory of their love.

No, not even that must remain. We must check the eyes.

Look.

Vanishing, ever smaller in his memory.

It's true, he's forgetting her.

Slowly, slowly.

Yes!

Yes!

And he's never remember her, for eternity!

Fantaghiro, these don't seem very friendly.

- Let's get out of here - Don't be silly.

We must parley.

Let's welcome the stranger.

Help!

Five in one go is not bad. I'm in good shape, huh?

You must be a daredevil to present yourself in our presence.

Why did you come here?

To beg Your Highness to free Romualdo...

The King and our soldiers.

This is the request of Fantaghiro, my Queen.

And what will I receive in exchange?

In return... you will be saved, your Honour..

And to think that when I saw you I immediately thought

that you'd come to declare war.

All right, war is.

If you want it.

And with what army would you like to attack me?

I am my own army.

One against a thousand?

One against one, Majesty.

Your champion.

And why should I help you?

These are the rules of knighthood.

Strange that you didn't know them.

One against one, eh? Yes, yes.

It could be done.

But I who hold the advantage over you?

Why shouldn't... I kill you right now?

If you really want to steal

the Kingdom of Fantaghiro, it's better... to do it by the rules.

Otherwise you wouldn't have respect from any of the losers...

And who says I'm interested in their respect?

The very fact that... you are a King.

And the supreme authority of a sovereign

comes first the respect... of his subjects.

So you want a duel, then?

Very good, granted.

You against my warrior, the bravest and most cruel.

Alright then. I'm ready to cross swords.

But only on one condition.

It must be a duel to the death.

The winner will kill the loser.

Well?

It's not there. It's gone away.

Victorious!

Return, Romualdo.

Exit from the darkness of oblivion,

and return to the land of the living.

Open your eyes.

Now, arise.

Arise.

Softly.

Slowly.

Yes.

Talk to me.

Come tell me.

Who am I?

So, tell me.

You...

You are my lady...

And mistress.

And I love you.

Count of Valdoca.

Here is my champion.

The challenge you will bear has the same rules as war.

The Count of Valdoca, champion of the realm of Fantaghiro

against our champion, the Knight with No Name.

Remember the rules.

The winner must kill his opponent.

Any questions?

Speak now or forever hold your peace/

Personally I have nothing against you, Knight.

But fighting is my only and last resort...

To protect and save those who are dear to me and whom I love.

May the best man win.

Then I've already won, Count.

Commence...

the duel.

Knight, turn around.

But you have no sword, Count?

I had.

I must have forgotten it.

And with what you would like to fight?

Romualdo.

Don't you recognize me?

- Where are you going? - It's me...

Fantaghiro.

- Romualdo. - Romualdo?

What are you babbling?

Are we dueling or not?

What have...

What have they done to you?

But yes...

I understand. You've done it on purpose.

To save my life.

What do you want me to do?

Give the Count a sword, so we can fight.

Someone hand a sword to our enemy.

Then give me the opportunity to choose one weapon.

Let it be! Escort the Count to the armoury.

That he choose a sword.

And can finally start this duel.

Don't make us wait too long.

My sword and I are burning with desire to face you..

And to beat you, of course.

Enter, and waste no time, Count.

Oh my... what a bad place!

I'm afraid!

Look at all these weapons!

I don't have the courage to look.

Don't be discouraged, not you.

I can't.

- It's useless. - What?

To kill the one I love.

Neither can I allow him to kill me.

Help me, White Witch.

Please, you can do it.

You remain my only hope.

Fantaghiro!

You know that I can't.

You know that in this land I have no magic powers.

He will try to enchant you with sweet words.

But you must not listen.

He is capable of any cunning, any trick, any spell.

He will pretend to be your friend, your relation, your lover.

Yes, even a woman.

Certainly refuse to cross swords with you.

Anything to distract you. Threaten, cry, smile, implore.

But everything will be useless, will be in vain.

You already know... what is your duty.

I have to rip out his heart!

And I'll give it to you..

as a pledge of my eternal love, my Queen.

Yes!

Yes!

He didn't recognize me. That's the truth.

If only he had...

looked into my eyes.

He is the victim of a spell.

Don't you understand?

Perhaps he has kissed the Witch.

In that case...

there is nothing...

that... can bring him back to me.?

Isn't that so?

It's very difficult.

No, Fantaghiro.

Don't be like that.

You must be strong. Don't cry.

That won't solve anything.

Don't look at me like that.

You want to quit?

A fine way to encourage me.

Enough.

If I must show up and duel with a sword

I must find one.

White Witch.

But you cannot use it... remember?

Of course, I know.

But it nothing else they'll believe I have it.

I have only the hilt.

You can't. How will you defend yourself?

How will you attack?

Have you thought it over?

It's suicide.

So? I'd never attack Romualdo

How could I strike him?

But we'll be alone, facing each other.

I'll try to make him understand who I am.

Love has a higher power...

than any magic.

Then go... and face your destiny.

Only the strength of your love can defeat the darkness

with which The Black Realm surrounds us

Go Fantaghiro, and good luck.

You will need it.

It is time.

This is your last chance

Count of Valdoca.

I'm ready.

But I don't see your champion.

Where is your brave Knight with No Name?

I'm here... Count.

Well?

Are you ready to be beaten?

Prepare to die.

Only one of you two will survive this duel.

Goodbye forever, Count.

To us, then.

Come forward, Count.

Draw your sword.

I love you.

I've no sword with me.

And I'm not the Count of Valdoca.

I am your Fantaghiro.

Sure, you're a woman.

I have been warned of your tricks.

But women do not fight.

Yes, it's true.

See? I'm unarmed

Then I'll finish you ahead of schedule.

No, wait!

Romualdo, you can't do this.

You're the victim of a spell.

- The Dark Queen has bewitched you. - Silence!

I am not enchanted with your words.

You know, Count? I promised your heart

as a token of my eternal love.

To whom did you promise?

A woman I love... and adore.

You love me and me only.

I'll show you!

Sorry!

But stones are not allowed in duels, dear Count.

These tricks won't save you.

We'll see.

Help! Help!

Lightning!

- Come here! - No, help.

Please. Don't hurt me.

Quiet!

You keep it, but be careful. Woe to you if it gets away.

I'm beginning to have enough of this duel.

You don't have to intervene.

You said that she will have to die at the hands of Romualdo.

Yes, but it's taking too long.

That girl's a smart one. Now I'm worried.

- I think she must be stronger... - Stronger than your spell?

Fight, Count. Stop your running.

I don't need a sword to beat you.

Right?

You want to kill me with a candlestick?

I don't want to kill you.

I can't.

Because I love you.

You have strange tendencies. What are you saying?

Do my words really... have no effect on your heart?

Come on. Finish me.

But if you kill me

I warn you, Romualdo...

A part of you will die.

I love you.

And I will love you forever.

Be quiet!

I'm tired of these absurd speeches.

Enough of this chatter.

It's lasted long enough.

It's time to end it.

I love you.

No, that's enough!

I won't let you win so easily.

If you want to kill her

you must fight on equal terms.

For the moment I renounce my magical powers.

And I free her from the promise that Fantaghiro made in my presence.

And I invoke her sword.

I'm afraid!

What's happening?

I don't know. A storm!

- Stop it! - No, wait.

Let it go.

Perhaps Fantaghiro needs it.

That fool has given up her powers.

And we will destroy the sword.

Lightning, take to the air and destroy it.

You missed it!

We must stop it at all costs.

You're an incompetent!

You're fired!

You're useless! Get out of here!

Little fool!

Move! And woe to you if I ever see you again, okay?

Get out of here!

I'm not afraid of your magic.

A puff of wind won't stop me.

True, it won't be the wind.

But my sword. On guard!

Not even your sword will stop me.

You've lost your advantage.

That won't save you.

Here, keep it, I'm leaving, I was fired.

No, please, don't leave me alone.

Then come with me.

I can't, the witch won't ever let me leave

And who says she has to notice?

And if she is thirsty?

Take it, courage.

Perhaps there still remains a glimmer of love in your heart?

My heart is full of love.

But if so

how can you fight me?

I am not in love with you.

- By no means. - Then who do you love?

Who?

The Dark Queen!

And I will love her till the end of my days.

And I can't wait to cut you to pieces, to run again to here and her kisses.

- From her lips. - Kisses?

You have kissed her?

We have done nothing else than kiss.

I'll erase the memory of those kisses with the point of my sword.

Quick, before you come back.

It's really too much!

This game goes on for ever.

This girl is smarter than I supposed.

I've prepared you this cup, Your Majesty.

I'd like a toast because, you've freed me from Lightning.

So, are you saying you can no longer stand your brother.

No, it's not true. I love him a lot.

And now I'm desperate.

I hate you.

And I want to make this toast to the hatred I have for you.

Here, drink.

Now I like you.

And so from this day We'll drink...

To the hatred you feel for me.

That it will grow forever.

That's it. In a moment and it'll be over.

Hooray, I did it!

What did you give me?

A sleeping potion.

Drink, drink.

Potions have no effect on me, you know.

Those of the other witches.

But yours do.

I'll have plenty of time to escape.

The antidote! You're a Viper!

You have betrayed me, damn you!

How could you do this to me?

How could you do this to me?

Damn you!

I put to good use your teachings, Majesty.

What could be more cruel than to betray your own Master.

Quick, there's not a moment to lose.

Who comes in such a hurry?

Quick, I can't...

- No! - And who are you?

One moment.

Open quick, before the other guards get here.

I'll open but only if you take me with you.

- We'll take you anywhere - Even to the end of the world, but hurry.

Come, open... Open

Hurry up darling.

The black knights are coming. Hurry.

Hurry up!!

Come on.

Hurry, please!

Get a move on.

- Quick! - Move it!

That's it.

Hurry, they're coming.

Quick, take me to Romualdo.

Let's go!

And now you're mine!

Romualdo!

This is your final hour.

You are dead.

All the tears in the world...

will not be enough to console you...

for what you are about to do, Romualdo.

I have no intention of mourning your death.

I will return in haste to my beloved.

Farewell forever!

Stop, Romualdo... Don't do it!

Who said that?

It's me, Cataldo.

You'll regret this forever. Don't do it!

Romualdo, don't you recognize me?

He's under a spell, watch out!

Stop where you are.

She is Fantaghiro!

And I'm your friend Cataldo.

You can't.

I won the duel!

Romualdo.

Well? Who won?

Not you, Sire.

Bolt.

I must stop Bolt.

You are not the King I want.

I want my father.

Who knows where he is.

Tell me where you keep my father, and I'll set you free.

I have no idea. Only the Dark Witch knows.

- Let's go to her. - No, I don't want to wake her.

And we will unite, whilst she is still sleeping.

When she awakes only magic can stop her.

And here I have no power.

We must hurry.

Go ahead, I must find my father.

As soon as the moon rises, the potion will lose its effect.

There are only a few minutes.

Why not take the King with us?

We can use him as a hostage.

Yes, you're right. No we shouldn't risk it.

Move, and hope that my father is still alive.

Lay down your arms... or I'll kill your King

Execute the order.

Quick, Fantaghiro.

Hurry, move.

Enter, and not a word.

If someone moves you will be the first to die. Inside!

Hey, Chiomadoro.

We'd better not stop. Every minute counts.

Quick, we must hurry.

Look up there in the sky.

She has woken.

We must get away.

As soon as possible.

Wait, you're wrong. That's not the Black Witch.

I'm almost afraid to do it.

Are you with us? You want become good, too?

Shut your mouth, traitor.

I've been officially fired, so I'm not a traitor.

But I am.

Please forgive me.

But you can't be bad forever.

Where are Romualdo and Fantaghiro?

They have fled, Your Majesty.

Curses! You have let them escape.

They have taken hostage our King.

So what? You know how important the Black King is? - How much?

- Less than nothing. - But why. He is our king.

But I am your King, Your Queen.

For you I am all.

And you are nothing but stupid terracotta toys.

I created you and I will destroy you.

No, my Queen, have pity.

It's too late. I no longer need you.

It is done!

Only I... now can stop them!

Halt!

We are surrounded.

We can go no further.

Use the little jar I gave you.

Quick.

I'll burn you all if you don't let us pass.

Now. Go... while I keep them at bay.

Hurry, the flame will last only a few moments.

Come on!

The Dark Witch! Quick, we must flee!

No. If you fly up in the air, she'll see you.

It's best to stay here.

We're there. Beyond those trees is our Kingdom.

Beyond those trees we're safe.

The Dark Witch...

She's near. I sense it.

She's coming.

She'll provoke you.

Don't respond.

She will call you. Don't turn to face her.

Come back to me!

Romualdo... Come back to my kisses.

Romualdo!

I must go!

No, don't listen. You mustn't.

- I'm coming! - Wait!

Romualdo, come.

Romualdo, come to me.

Return to me, Romualdo.

I'm coming!

No, let him go.

We mustn't stop now, a few metres from safety.

Gallop, Chiomadoro!

Faster than the wind!

Come to me... Romualdo!

Come back!

Run, Chiomadoro!

Romualdo!

Come back to me.

My lady!

Come back to me!

Here I am!

- Come. - Don't listen to her!

Come to me.

Come!

Please, Romualdo!

Come to me.

Come to me!

No!

No!

Take me away...

My Lady!

- Romualdo, stop! - I'm here!

I'm here. I'm waiting.

Here I am!

He loves me.

He doesn't love you at all.

In any case...

how dare you define love as that obtained by a spell

Love is always a spell, my dear girl.

Accept the obvious.

Run to me.

I propose a deal.

I'll give you the Black King

- if you give up Romualdo. - No never!

Come to me.

Come into my arms.

The stone. Where did I put the stone?

Embrace me.

Come.

He is still mine.

Look!

No!

Fantaghiro!

You no longer have the phial.

You must be crafty.

Tease her vanity

A breath of wind?

Is that all you can do?

You... shameless piece. What do you know?

How dare you talk to me in that way?

I can turn myself into anything, I need only feel the desire.

I can perform any magic.

I can become an avalanche and bury you under the stones.

I can become an ogre and devour you.

Or a dragon whose awful talons will tear you to shreds.

This is my power.

Ogres, dragons, avalanches.

Yes, the usual repertoire.

I knew you could do that.

You are a witch!

These are trifles for you.

But I bet you don't have the courage

to transform yourself into something pure...

Delicate... refined.

I can do anything, I've already said.

Those are just words.

So, you want something pure and delicate. Right.

A refined rose garden.

Are you surprised

So, what do you think of this?

Is this delicate enough for you?

Our petals, don't you like them?

Not bad, I suppose.

But it's a shame about the thorns!

The thorns are the most beautiful part of the flower.

I thought you were more powerful.

Continue.

Make her transform herself again. Continue.

You have no idea what is a really good thing...

Gentle and delicate.

No, you're so wrong. I know very well and I'll show you.

In fact I've already transformed myself into something very gentle,

very pure and delicate.

Indeed, into someone that you know very well.

Can't you guess?

Well then, stay there and watch.

And prepare to be surprised.

What d'you think? Satisfied?

Do you know anyone who is sweeter...

and purer than you?

Now it's clear.

How you managed to make him kiss you.

However, believe me, I had to insist.

I can't say that he had a great desire to kiss you!

Fantaghiro, I'm here.

Perhaps I can help you.

Who says that I'm virtuous?

I've disobeyed so many times.

And very often have the sin of pride.

I've caused my father and my sisters many sorrows.

And suffering.

I don't pass myself off

as a pure, delicate and fragile creature.

Because I'm not.

Enough. Once and for all. Tell me

the purest, most delicate and unspoiled thing

that according to you I can't transform myself.

And you will realise of what I am capable.

Tell me... or I'll scratch out your eyes.

Well then...

I'm sure that you...

For example...

Let me think.

I found it!

I bet you can't turn yourself into crystal.

Crystal?

Crystal?

Crystal?

That's an insult to me.

That's a magic that even vulgar, low born witches know.

Consider it done.

Yes, how wonderful.

I swear I've never seen anything so radiant.

So fragile, Your Majesty.

You are so beautiful...

that I'm almost sorry to have to destroy you!

No, not the castle!

My father's inside.

I've defeated evil.

But with it also the last hope...

of ever seeing my father again.

I heard the galloping of a horse.

Wait, it could be Fantaghiro.

It's her!

It's her!

Fantaghiro, you're alive!

It's good to see you, even though I'm very sad.

But why?

- You did it. - Yes, but I lost my father.

Fantaghiro!

Fantaghiro, where are you?

Come here you.

Fantaghiro, come quickly.

I can't bear it.

- Fantaghiro. - Father.

Fantaghiro!

I can't bear any longer this iron mask.

Please take it off me, immediately.

Yes, father.

Who knew it would be so awkward!

- I can't breathe. - I believe you.

No don't do it. The Dark Witch once told us

she had put on the mask because he was so ugly.

She said he was so horrible, that to look on him would be to die

My father has not ever been horrendous.

And he has never scared me.

Not even as a child, when he shouted.

Oh, thank you.

What a pleasure to breathe!

Take off these chains?

Of course.

Hurrah! Long live the King

I'd like to ask your forgiveness

for all the evils you have suffered from me.

It was the Dark Witch who worked her magic

to turn me into the Black King.

The Dark Witch has been destroyed.

Now we will no longer be afraid of her evil.

But then Romualdo is no longer bewitched.

- Wake up. - No.

Let's wait for him to wake up.

Let's continue our journey Don't you want to return to your wives?

Sleep, my love.

Rest.

It's over now.

When your eyes reopen...

we will be back home.

And this time forever.

And finally life...

will be as before.

Let me warn you,

Don't you dare tell him what has happened.

But Romualdo must know what you have done for him

Yes, but I'd rather he learns it from me.

A bit at a time.

I don't want him to know from someone else.

But don't leave it too long, or you risk postponing the wedding

for who knows how long!

Don't worry, This time we'll get married right away.

I'll go and check the preparations for the banquet.

And I'll check the clothing.

What's wrong?

I don't know.

A strange premonition.

Don't be silly!

Hurry up. He's waiting for you.

You're right.

Now however I'm on my own.

Romualdo.

You don't know how long I've waited for this moment.

Do I know you?

I don't know who you are.

But I'm Fantaghiro.

This is the ring that you gave me.

We were in love before the war started.

What you're telling me is like a story. With no memories or emotions.

Please forgive me.

If it's true that I'm not your prisoner...

then let me go.

But this house is yours.

This realm is yours.

And I love you

But I don't love you.

I don't know you either.

I feel that I'm in love with someone.

But not you.

At least I don't think so.

Romualdo.

Maybe if you...

If we...

No.

No.

Please forgive me.

But you are not the one that I love.

I must find her, that only my heart can recognize.

If you really love me...

Let me go. Release me from this prison.

My love.

I won't force you to stay.

If this for you is a prison...

it's better that you go.

For me what matters...

is only your happiness.

Even if your freedom...

at this moment...

is my despair.

When can I go?

Even now, if you wish.

Fantaghiro!

How could you allow him to leave?

It was what he wanted.

But he's the victim of a spell.

He no longer loves me.

He's forgotten all about us.

How could I keep him prisoner of a love he doesn't remember?

What a disappointment you are, my daughter.

Don't reproach me.

I don't know you anymore.

Where is the headstrong girl who never gives up?

Where is your courage, your will?

Have you too forgotten your past? I think not.

Me neither.

But I've lost all hope.

How can I fight

if he no longer loves me?

Father, help me!

No, my daughter. I won't see you defeated.

I don't want to hear words of defeat.

Forgive me.

What will your people say when they know that you've given up

And that he's gone away for ever?

I'm accountable to no one...

but my feelings.

Of course, no person.

But your subjects, yes, Because you are the Queen.

And if you give up in the face of life's sorrows,

how must they behave?

Let them celebrate.

Let them not know for now.

Let my pain be mine alone!

Let's go see Fantaghiro and Romualdo!

Yes, let's go.

Ladies and Gentlemen.

Boys and girls.

We are here to tell...

the true story of the love of King Romualdo

and Queen Fantaghiro.

Fantaghiro was in the woods with the White Witch.

Come, grasp this bow.

A bow, why? What do you want me to do with it.

Point your arrow at the sun.

Hit the sun.

But it's impossible!

It would only be impossible if you don't try.

- But I could never succeed in hitting it. - It's not hitting that's important.

The important thing is to try.

You must wipe out the word 'Impossible' from your vocabulary.

The important thing is to try.

Remember, you must try.

Listen to the White Witch!

Try!

Alright then.

I'll do as you say.

I will try.

The arrow never reached the sun

but it stuck in the trunk of a tree,

frightening the horse

of Prince Romualdo.

And Romualdo saw the eyes

of a girl through the leaves and fell in love.

The face was that of Fantaghiro.

And Romualdo started to look for that face and those eyes.

Fantaghiro!

Where are you going in such a hurry?

What are you doing?

What are you looking for?

For heaven's sake, answer me!

She's gone crazy.

The sorrow must have gone to her head.

Here it is.

It's the clothing I was wearing when we met for the first time.

Don't tell me you're going to wear that old rag?

Have you gone mad?

Yes, I'm mad.

Because I've decided to live my life all over again.

Welcome Sir Knight!

You have done well to come back and find us!

Who do you seek?

I don't know.

Where are you headed?

I don't know.

Welcome back, Sir Knight.

So you remember nothing?

No.

I've forgotten everything that I've ever lived.

As soon as I'm away from here, I'll forget even you.

I could tell you the story of your exploits. But that...

would be no use.

Better that you continue alone in search of your memory.

But without memories how can you live?

How can you be happy?

In fact, I'm not.

Gallop, Chiomadoro.

We must find him.

Before it's too late.

Before he finds another love.

Another destiny.

- Stop! - Wait!

- Slow down, - Don't you hear?

Don't make too much noise.

He is nearby We've found him.

Look, he's in that clearing over there.

He's sitting under that tree to rest.

- Hurry before he goes. - Thank you.

Without your help, I'd never have managed.

You've been so kind to discover where he was. Thank you.

Don't thank us. We did it for ourselves.

We're taking steps to become good.

Then take giant steps to become good.

Hush now. I don't want him to see me.

- Before I've fired the arrow. - Use us.

We're very precise.

I'll be very confident shooting you.

Aim for the sun.

Hit the sun.

But it's impossible.

You must wipe out the word 'Impossible' from your vocabulary.

Bend... bend the bow.

Bend it with all your strength.

Aim for the sun.

For the sun.

You!

Stop!

So far, so good.

Where are you?

Why are you hiding?

I don't want to fight.

Show yourself!

But you...

Wait.

You needn't be afraid.

I don't want to hurt you.

Please, don't run away!

Wait!

Stop!

Stop right there!

Not a step further, Knight.

I am the spirit of the forest...

and I don't like that you cut down the tangle of branches

that guard my secret

I was...

I was looking for a young horsewoman.

The girl that you seek is the Nymph of the River.

She is forbidden...

to meet with mortals.

Above all with a knight such as you.

But those eyes!

I believe I'm in love with those eyes!

Then look for them in a human face.

And when you find them, you will have found love.

And yourself.

I hope that your words

come true.

Spirit of the forest.

Goodbye.

Goodbye Knight.

Come to me.

Thank you, White Witch.

Without you I couldn't have relived our first encounter.

Look.

Look what I've brought with me.

My armour!

Now it's just as it was then.

Now it all depends on you.

But forget doubts and uncertainties.

You must never despair.

You must believe right to the end.

Gods!

I must find those eyes.

And I need, to find myself.

Nymph of the River...

If you are here, let me see you.

Let me see your eyes, if only for a moment, just a moment.

Just a moment, please!

Why did you fire that arrow?

It was a sign, You didn't want to kill me.

Right?

Right?

Talk to me!

Talk to me, I beg you!

What are you doing in there? Get out!

It's my river.

And nymphs aren't interested in human beings.

Get out, I said!

A river has no owner.

How could it be yours?

For your information, I'm the Count of Valdoca.

And these are my lands.

I didn't know.

- Forgive me. - Apologies are not enough.

You deserve a lesson.

On guard!

Fight!

That's that.

Your arrogance has been punished.

But have no fear I have no intention... to do you...

What is it?

- Cat got your tongue? - But you're like...

Like who? Tell me.

Those eyes...

Your eyes

are the only thing in my life I can remember.

But they can't belong to you because they're on your face.

I can't... begin to understand.

I...

Kiss me...

You'll understand.

I... can't... remember but I don't think I've ever kissed a knight before.

You're wrong.

Because you've already kissed me.

Fantaghiro!

You remembered my name.

It's you! It's me, it's me!

Romualdo, what is it?

Something...

My...

- My love, what's wrong? - No!

Oh no!

Romualdo! What's happening to you?

I don't know.

It's horrible.

Romualdo where are you?

I'm here.

My love, follow my voice.

I don't want to lose you again.

Romualdo.

Romualdo!

Where are you my love?

Why don't you answer me? What's happened?

There you are, finally.

Yes! Finally!.

No, not you!

Not you!

- I destroyed you. - Fantaghiro, what's wrong?

With you I destroyed the kingdom of evil.

But a small part of me continued to live in Romualdo.

I fed my being with his memories and thoughts

waiting for the right time to return to life.

I had to be patient, endure, suffer at times.

But I could not fail.

I waited the moment in which I could defeat your love.

Separate you two forever.

And that moment is now at hand.

It's over for you, little intriguer!

You can kill me...

But our love will live forever.

You cannot destroy it.

I don't mean to kill you. Not that.

You will live a long life, but no one will ever recognize you or love you.

Goodbye forever, Fantaghiro.

What have you done?

Don't worry about her.

She's alive, but no one will ever see her again.

Kill me then.

Without her I don't wish to live.

Turn me into the wind.

Or rather, fire. Water or storm...

so I can give vent to my anger and my pain.

No... I condemn you to remain a mortal here

so your suffering can be a warning to those who believe in love.

You are a fool.

Your ridiculous human weapons can do nothing against me.

Only with magic can hope to defeat me.

In that case... let's fight.

What do you want with me? You have no more powers.

You're right.

I have no more magic powers, it's true..

But luckily this arrow does.

I curse you!

Let the darkness surround you and turn you into...

I've been waiting for this moment I don't know how long.

Fantaghiro!

Fantaghiro!

Fantaghiro!

Romualdo.

Run.

You are the only one who can find her.

Fantaghiro.

Fantaghiro.

Where are you?

Give me a sign.

Give me a sign.

Romualdo, here I am, my love.

Take me with you to live in the fountain of the castle.

We can see each other every day.

Don't believe him.

- Do not believe him. - Kiss me.

I'm here, before you.

Do you think she can be a fish, Fantaghiro?

Then... You are my beloved.

Yes.

I am your beloved.

Romualdo... Don't you recognize my beauty?

- Kiss me. - No, kiss me.

Kiss me, I'm Fantaghiro.

Kiss Me to break the spell.

Kiss me.

I am your love.

Kiss me, the others lie. I am your beloved.

It's not true. Kiss me I'm Fantaghiro.

It's not true.

I'm Fantaghiro.

In front of you, I'm here.

Kiss me.

Kiss me.

I am your beloved. I am Fantaghiro.

Kiss me.

Be careful, think about your choice.

There are so many.

Must I kiss them all?

No, Romualdo.

No! You must choose only one.

But make no mistake, you have one chance.

Forget all doubts and uncertainties.

You know how to recognize her.

Kiss me.

Come to me, my Prince.

I am your Fantaghiro.

No.

She'd never transform you into one so beautiful.

Kiss me.

None of you are my Princess.

Goodbye, Romualdo, you don't know what a mistake you are making.

At last I've got you.

Well?

Sure you've got nothing to say?

You are the only one who's not spoken.

Is that the way to treat a Prince?

You have to be my love.

I choose you.

I'll kiss you.

I'll kiss you, you naughty toad.

Who'd have thought I'd have taken a toad so much to heart.

What toad do you mean?

That one that I kissed.

And why kiss a toad...

when you can kiss me?

And now...

I'm sure they can manage alone.

- I've heard that your kisses have a miraculous effect. - Yes.

Yes, but only for those who believe in miracles.

Hurrah!
