}
{T 00:00:59:84
Nowhere in the world were
there meadows so green
}
{T 00:01:01:87

}
{T 00:01:01:88
nor dandelions so golden as here in Lusatia.
}
{T 00:01:06:27

}
{T 00:01:07:84
The earth under the plow
smelt of the plowman's bread
}
{T 00:01:09:88

}
{T 00:01:09:88
and gloried under the banner
of our Lord Elector of Saxony.
}
{T 00:01:14:83

}
{T 00:01:42:88
My life was the life of a lost bird. Alone,
without a parent, without a nest,
}
{T 00:01:50:03

}
{T 00:01:50:84
l roved my native Lusatia,
sometimes in haste.
}
{T 00:01:54:35

}
{T 00:01:54:40
Begging was banned by the Saxon Elector.
No one took that seriously, that is,
}
{T 00:01:58:31

}
{T 00:01:59:04
but the dogs.
}
{T 00:01:59:75

}
{T 00:02:28:40
You still don't know who l am.
Krabat, they call me.
}
{T 00:02:31:12

}
{T 00:02:31:96
Alone in this world now,
my home this piece of earth,
}
{T 00:02:35:56

}
{T 00:02:35:56
which l would not trade for anything.
}
{T 00:02:37:95

}
{T 00:03:46:61
Free as a bird l lived.
}
{T 00:03:48:68

}
{T 00:03:50:09
Yet even in Lusatia the Sun cannot warm
forever nor dandelions bloom forever golden.
}
{T 00:03:55:21

}
{T 00:03:55:85
Cruel it is then for a roving lad.
}
{T 00:03:58:20

}
{T 00:06:06:89
l slept like the dead,
}
{T 00:06:08:80

}
{T 00:06:09:21
not noticing that two other beggar boys
already took refuge there before me.
}
{T 00:06:13:57

}
{T 00:06:13:77
So we were three.
}
{T 00:06:15:13

}
{T 00:06:16:05
And as the Feast of the Magi was upon us,
we made a plan to fill a hungry tummy.
}
{T 00:06:22:89

}
{T 00:06:27:01
We three kings do come to you,
And wish you luck and health.
}
{T 00:06:34:65

}
{T 00:06:51:50
Far away indeed our trek
From Bethlehem to your shepherd's hut.
}
{T 00:07:02:73

}
{T 00:07:03:22
And you so black now at the back,
Don't raise your nose at us,
}
{T 00:07:14:45

}
{T 00:07:14:82
Sunshine it was that made me so
With face so dark and tan,
}
{T 00:07:15:81

}
{T 00:07:26:94
lf you but in the sun did go,
Would you not be so brown?
}
{T 00:07:38:13

}
{T 00:07:38:62
The Sun is turned to precious stone
The birth of Christ to mark.
}
{T 00:07:50:42

}
{T 00:07:56:82
ln the evening we sat at the table like
Kings, and after slept in a royal bed.
}
{T 00:08:02:42

}
{T 00:08:02:98
Nothing fancy, but well
ventilated and very wide.
}
{T 00:08:08:01

}
{T 00:08:12:70
Craw! Craw! Krabat!
}
{T 00:08:17:30

}
{T 00:08:18:02
Someone called my name!
}
{T 00:08:19:01

}
{T 00:08:19:94
Craw! Krabat!
}
{T 00:08:24:14

}
{T 00:08:24:22
Come to the Mill on the Water Black!
Krabat! lt will not serve you ill.
}
{T 00:08:33:70

}
{T 00:08:34:30
Krabat!
}
{T 00:08:36:10

}
{T 00:08:43:94
Krabat, listen to the voice
of the Master! Listen to him!
}
{T 00:08:50:65

}
{T 00:09:11:46
Beyond the village
l met an old man.
}
{T 00:09:13:26

}
{T 00:09:14:02
When l asked him the way to the Mill on
the Water Black, he startled, and frightened
}
{T 00:09:17:02

}
{T 00:09:17:34
begged me to go back and to avoid
that cursed place, the seat of all evil.
}
{T 00:09:24:26

}
{T 00:09:40:67
Pay no heed to the old man!
Listen to my voice!
}
{T 00:09:45:46

}
{T 00:10:28:67
Come inside!
}
{T 00:10:29:50

}
{T 00:11:25:71
So here you are.
}
{T 00:11:28:07

}
{T 00:11:28:75
lt was the voice of the raven
who had invited me here.
}
{T 00:11:31:27

}
{T 00:11:32:87
l am the Master here, and l will teach
you milling craft, and that of the Black Mill.
}
{T 00:11:42:75

}
{T 00:11:43:39
Do you agree?
}
{T 00:11:44:43

}
{T 00:12:03:51
The mill grinds again!
Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!
}
{T 00:12:08:99

}
{T 00:12:23:83
The first night in the mill l slept not a wink.
}
{T 00:12:26:22

}
{T 00:12:27:59
Next to me were eleven empty beds,
waking my curiosity. Whose were they?
}
{T 00:12:33:78

}
{T 00:12:35:28
Apparently apprentices and journeymen
like me. Why were they not here?
}
{T 00:12:38:79

}
{T 00:12:40:20
For it seemed to me that none but
me was here in this strange place.
}
{T 00:12:44:99

}
{T 00:13:11:36
Morning ever wiser
than the night before!
}
{T 00:13:13:47

}
{T 00:13:14:40
Finally, l met the other
young men from the mill.
}
{T 00:13:17:67

}
{T 00:13:21:40
The oldest was named Tony.
}
{T 00:13:23:55

}
{T 00:13:24:80
After him was Michal.
}
{T 00:13:25:95

}
{T 00:13:26:80
Then Jura. He cooked for us
all and was a gentle soul.
}
{T 00:13:30:03

}
{T 00:13:31:52
Then this one called Fox, who
pleaded with the Master.
}
{T 00:13:34:11

}
{T 00:13:35:44
John, the strongest of them all.
}
{T 00:13:37:08

}
{T 00:13:37:56
Silent Jacob followed. Andreas the Clown
and at the end Stasko and Martin.
}
{T 00:13:44:56

}
{T 00:13:46:64
There were eleven and l was
twelfth and youngest of them all.
}
{T 00:13:50:11

}
{T 00:14:21:76
Thus l was apprenticed at
the Mill on the Water Black.
}
{T 00:14:24:99

}
{T 00:14:25:72
The work was not easy there, but at last l
had a roof over me and hot food every day.
}
{T 00:14:29:72

}
{T 00:14:30:04
What more could a beggar boy desire?
}
{T 00:14:32:68

}
{T 00:14:37:40
Time like a river passed
}
{T 00:14:39:00

}
{T 00:14:39:00
and l stayed at the hard work
in the mill until the spring arrived.
}
{T 00:14:42:44

}
{T 00:15:00:32
Of all that dwelt in the mill,
l could suffer least the cat.
}
{T 00:15:03:36

}
{T 00:15:03:60
Not a moment to breathe
did he leave me.
}
{T 00:15:05:32

}
{T 00:15:06:00
He was everywhere and
he saw everything.
}
{T 00:15:07:72

}
{T 00:15:08:40
Once l was so annoyed,
l could not hold back.
}
{T 00:15:11:36

}
{T 00:15:20:08
That this angered the Master,
l learnt very soon.
}
{T 00:15:24:24

}
{T 00:16:23:45
After that beating, l decided
to run away from the mill.
}
{T 00:16:26:65

}
{T 00:16:27:85
Lusatia was big enough
to hide a wretch like me.
}
{T 00:16:30:89

}
{T 00:16:31:17
Big enough to feed me until l could
make a living once again.
}
{T 00:16:32:92

}
{T 00:16:38:01
That whole night l did not
stop but ran and ran.
}
{T 00:16:42:69

}
{T 00:16:42:69
When l was far from that awful place,
where l had received such gratitude,
}
{T 00:16:43:76

}
{T 00:16:47:13
for a while l rested.
}
{T 00:16:48:61

}
{T 00:18:01:01
Carry these and do it now!
}
{T 00:18:03:89

}
{T 00:18:47:42
Now l finally saw with my own eyes
what l had only suspected.
}
{T 00:18:51:49

}
{T 00:18:52:86
Here l was in a mill fueled
by magic powers!
}
{T 00:18:56:09

}
{T 00:18:57:34
And soon l would have certainty.
}
{T 00:18:59:69

}
{T 00:19:06:02
Krabat,
}
{T 00:19:07:09

}
{T 00:19:08:10
a quarter year have you
been in this mill.
}
{T 00:19:10:53

}
{T 00:19:11:42
Your period of trial has ended.
}
{T 00:19:13:85

}
{T 00:19:14:66
You are no longer a miller's apprentice.
From now on you will be my pupil!
}
{T 00:19:20:42

}
{T 00:19:24:26
Come closer, Krabat!
}
{T 00:19:26:22

}
{T 00:19:56:98
At first l knew not what to do.
}
{T 00:19:59:05

}
{T 00:20:00:06
The blood in me froze
from the transformation.
}
{T 00:20:02:05

}
{T 00:20:03:34
l tried to remember
what birds do.
}
{T 00:20:05:22

}
{T 00:20:05:98
But l was helpless.
}
{T 00:20:07:33

}
{T 00:20:07:82
But then, l worked it out.
}
{T 00:20:09:17

}
{T 00:20:10:14
Yes, to have wings
is not a bad thing.
}
{T 00:20:12:74

}
{T 00:20:14:18
that from then on l belonged
to the Master, body and soul.
}
{T 00:20:18:38

}
{T 00:20:19:34
l had given myself to him
in life and in death.
}
{T 00:20:22:30

}
{T 00:20:24:98
Sit down!
}
{T 00:20:25:97

}
{T 00:20:27:34
Krabat, now you are
in the Black School.
}
{T 00:20:31:42

}
{T 00:20:32:90
Here we do not learn reading,
nor writing, nor arithmetic.
}
{T 00:20:36:45

}
{T 00:20:37:18
Here we study the art of all arts.
}
{T 00:20:41:46

}
{T 00:20:42:30
The book that lies here on the table is the Koraktor,
}
{T 00:20:46:14

}
{T 00:20:46:86
a cursed book.
}
{T 00:20:48:77

}
{T 00:20:49:62
lt contains all the spells
of the world.
}
{T 00:20:53:06

}
{T 00:20:53:86
But l alone can read it,
}
{T 00:20:57:17

}
{T 00:20:57:62
for l am the Master.
}
{T 00:21:00:93

}
{T 00:21:02:54
You are forbidden to look inside.
}
{T 00:21:06:09

}
{T 00:21:07:86
Forbidden all!
}
{T 00:21:09:50

}
{T 00:21:11:11
Understood, Krabat?
}
{T 00:21:12:58

}
{T 00:21:15:79
Pay heed!
}
{T 00:21:17:18

}
{T 00:21:18:63
l will begin to teach you
simple enchantments.
}
{T 00:21:22:50

}
{T 00:21:23:31
And that is the alphabet
of the Black Art.
}
{T 00:21:26:50

}
{T 00:21:30:79
Thus from a miller's apprentice, l became
a student at a school of wizardry.
}
{T 00:21:35:38

}
{T 00:21:36:59
ln Lusatia there were several such.
}
{T 00:21:38:50

}
{T 00:21:38:87
All were the same, though
their forms were various.
}
{T 00:21:42:14

}
{T 00:21:42:83
This one looked like a mill.
}
{T 00:21:44:82

}
{T 00:21:46:39
We were forever under the strict supervision
of the Master, and not allowed to fly away.
}
{T 00:21:50:14

}
{T 00:21:55:43
Sometimes, though, the Master
did send us about,
}
{T 00:21:57:59

}
{T 00:21:57:59
to see what we had
learned of the Black Arts.
}
{T 00:22:00:58

}
{T 00:22:01:11
l used to go with Tony mostly.
}
{T 00:22:02:70

}
{T 00:22:03:51
This time it was not fun. Tony was tasked
to sell me at the market as an ox.
}
{T 00:22:08:87

}
{T 00:22:16:91
l was so embarrassed,
but what else could l do?
}
{T 00:22:19:34

}
{T 00:22:19:95
l had learned a pupil must
put up with tests like this.
}
{T 00:22:23:78

}
{T 00:22:37:07
ln the cattle market, l was
now the center of attention.
}
{T 00:22:40:14

}
{T 00:22:40:83
Such an ox was quite a sight to see.
}
{T 00:22:43:30

}
{T 00:22:44:35
Butchers eyed me knowingly,
competed to see who would pay more.
}
{T 00:22:47:98

}
{T 00:22:49:19
Tony shook his head.
Not enough.
}
{T 00:22:51:75

}
{T 00:22:53:27
l tried to do everything
a good ox does.
}
{T 00:22:56:50

}
{T 00:22:58:87
More the traders bid, and more.
Still not enough for Tony.
}
{T 00:23:04:10

}
{T 00:23:05:23
Until finally, a butcher bid a bag
filled with silver coins for me.
}
{T 00:23:08:99

}
{T 00:23:09:83
Tony agreed.
}
{T 00:23:10:95

}
{T 00:23:12:51
So l was sold at the market.
}
{T 00:23:14:90

}
{T 00:23:38:87
Pork, dumplings with sauerkraut and beer!
}
{T 00:23:41:39

}
{T 00:23:45:15
And a wisp of hay for the ox.
}
{T 00:23:46:95

}
{T 00:23:46:95
For me also pork and beer,
}
{T 00:23:51:63

}
{T 00:23:51:63
l said in my human voice,
and the two fell into a swoon.
}
{T 00:23:54:51

}
{T 00:24:47:36
Tony and l, we passed
the test this time.
}
{T 00:24:49:75

}
{T 00:24:51:04
The Master would be happy.
}
{T 00:24:53:19

}
{T 00:25:00:68
At Easter on Holy Saturday
the Master gave us a new task.
}
{T 00:25:04:07

}
{T 00:25:05:32
Two by two, we should find a place
where a man's life ended violently
}
{T 00:25:09:20

}
{T 00:25:09:20
and stay there until the morning light.
}
{T 00:25:11:35

}
{T 00:25:12:88
For a long time l flew with
Tony, patiently looking.
}
{T 00:25:15:95

}
{T 00:25:17:36
Often it was already taken,
so we moved ever on.
}
{T 00:25:19:83

}
{T 00:25:29:80
l did not like it here, but the view
was nice, and so we stayed.
}
{T 00:25:34:83

}
{T 00:25:38:76
Long had l not heard
the singing of church bells.
}
{T 00:25:40:56

}
{T 00:25:41:44
Their song reminded
me of my childhood.
}
{T 00:25:43:80

}
{T 00:25:44:24
My village.
}
{T 00:25:45:12

}
{T 00:25:46:28
l was homesick for
the ordinary people.
}
{T 00:25:48:08

}
{T 00:25:52:92
Welcome, waters, after so Great a Night!
Do not let me linger, put all to right!
}
{T 00:26:06:39

}
{T 00:26:09:32
Give me what you do give but once a year,
Bring him l dreamt of, lead him near!
}
{T 00:26:24:84

}
{T 00:26:48:44
And from that day the singing
of that girl sounded in my heart.
}
{T 00:26:51:36

}
{T 00:26:52:52
lt was impossible to forget.
}
{T 00:26:54:40

}
{T 00:26:57:92
Welcome, waters, after so Great a Night!
Do not let me linger, put all to right!
}
{T 00:27:10:55

}
{T 00:27:14:17
lt was as if time in that vicious
mill went faster than it should.
}
{T 00:27:17:00

}
{T 00:27:18:29
Christmas was coming and
l was still thinking of the girl.
}
{T 00:27:23:00

}
{T 00:27:36:45
Away with that, away forthwith!
}
{T 00:27:38:12

}
{T 00:27:38:77
There is no place for such
things here!
}
{T 00:27:40:84

}
{T 00:27:57:85
lt was a strange kind of Christmas,
}
{T 00:27:59:76

}
{T 00:28:00:65
l even found a coffin here,
}
{T 00:28:02:48

}
{T 00:28:03:57
but no-one at the mill had died!
}
{T 00:28:05:64

}
{T 00:28:10:85
Then l saw Tony.
}
{T 00:28:12:04

}
{T 00:28:13:17
Was he going to dig the grave?
}
{T 00:28:14:49

}
{T 00:28:17:01
l called him, but he went on and did
not look back. As if he did not hear.
}
{T 00:28:22:77

}
{T 00:28:25:21
l tried to see what was going on
in the mill, but with no success.
}
{T 00:28:28:04

}
{T 00:28:28:97
Everywhere you could feel
the tension and the fear.
}
{T 00:28:31:53

}
{T 00:28:32:33
But those who knew were silent still.
}
{T 00:28:35:56

}
{T 00:28:48:73
The time has come for your
final test in the Black Art.
}
{T 00:28:52:96

}
{T 00:28:54:17
Only one of us can be
the Master here.
}
{T 00:28:57:72

}
{T 00:28:59:05
He who fails the test,
the coffin awaits.
}
{T 00:29:04:29

}
{T 00:30:47:82
The mill stopped still and stood,
}
{T 00:30:51:50

}
{T 00:30:51:50
until instead of poor Tony, the next
apprentice would come,
}
{T 00:30:54:38

}
{T 00:30:54:38
to make our number full.
}
{T 00:30:55:94

}
{T 00:30:57:18
The mill's wheel was never idle long.
}
{T 00:30:59:98

}
{T 00:31:01:10
The Master had two cruel assistants
on his side - hunger and the cold.
}
{T 00:31:05:89

}
{T 00:31:06:74
We knew them both, we knew them well.
}
{T 00:31:07:89

}
{T 00:31:09:10
And now they drove another
boy toward the vicious mill!
}
{T 00:31:12:73

}
{T 00:31:13:66
Each of us had sought our salvation here.
}
{T 00:31:15:93

}
{T 00:31:23:70
As always, our Master awaited, to trap
the newly coming in a web of promises.
}
{T 00:31:29:73

}
{T 00:31:30:66
Who would not want
to be a magician!
}
{T 00:31:33:49

}
{T 00:32:17:70
The mill grinds again!
}
{T 00:32:19:66

}
{T 00:32:21:94
Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!
}
{T 00:32:24:14

}
{T 00:32:38:98
The next morning we visited
our new apprentice.
}
{T 00:32:41:90

}
{T 00:32:42:42
Nobody asked him
where he came from.
}
{T 00:32:44:46

}
{T 00:32:45:22
He was a frozen little rogue, as once
were each of us. His name was Vitek.
}
{T 00:32:50:98

}
{T 00:32:52:35
He had kept fast so long, that now,
whenever he could, he guzzled like a wolf.
}
{T 00:32:58:02

}
{T 00:33:00:23
The arrival of a new apprentice
returned life in the mill to normal.
}
{T 00:33:03:82

}
{T 00:33:11:47
Soon Vitek too would know
where he had landed.
}
{T 00:33:14:66

}
{T 00:33:16:15
At first he found it strange,
but was afraid of nothing.
}
{T 00:33:18:74

}
{T 00:33:19:15
And before he could take it in, became
in the Black School the youngest of us all.
}
{T 00:33:24:06

}
{T 00:33:31:91
Sit down!
Sit down l said!
}
{T 00:33:35:74

}
{T 00:33:45:47
Pay heed. l'll teach you
now a very useful spell,
}
{T 00:33:49:78

}
{T 00:33:51:31
an ordinary pine cone
to turn into a gem.
}
{T 00:33:55:78

}
{T 00:34:05:39
Remember this, that in this form,
it will only last one hour.
}
{T 00:34:09:78

}
{T 00:34:10:39
The spell will not work longer.
}
{T 00:34:12:27

}
{T 00:34:14:51
l thought the spell was useless. How
poorly still l understood the Master.
}
{T 00:34:20:70

}
{T 00:35:40:59
At a state audience before
the throne of His Majesty
}
{T 00:35:43:63

}
{T 00:35:43:64
himself, the Master offered
the nobles his treasures.
}
{T 00:35:46:20

}
{T 00:35:48:00
Ladies cheered and competed
in praise of the jeweler's art.
}
{T 00:35:52:51

}
{T 00:35:53:92
Everyone wanted one
of the beautiful jewels,
}
{T 00:35:56:75

}
{T 00:35:56:76
and once they tried one on,
would not give it up.
}
{T 00:35:59:91

}
{T 00:36:01:76
And so the Cavaliers had to dig
deep into their pockets
}
{T 00:36:04:64

}
{T 00:36:04:64
and pour their gold coins
out to the Master.
}
{T 00:36:07:31

}
{T 00:36:15:60
Then all of a sudden l remembered,
the magic worked but one hour long.
}
{T 00:36:18:03

}
{T 00:36:18:72
And all that remained
were the last five minutes.
}
{T 00:36:20:44

}
{T 00:36:22:00
Then the ladies' necks would boast
old cones and the gallows surely awaited us.
}
{T 00:36:26:04

}
{T 00:36:27:40
But my Master knew
what to do next.
}
{T 00:36:29:87

}
{T 00:36:31:60
He made Old Time stand still.
}
{T 00:36:32:79

}
{T 00:36:38:96
Everything frozen, we calmly took our
spoils out of the palace grounds.
}
{T 00:36:44:35

}
{T 00:36:52:76
l never dreamt that you could sell
for so much gold a box of old pine cones!
}
{T 00:36:57:20

}
{T 00:37:07:24
Again came Easter.
}
{T 00:37:08:96

}
{T 00:37:10:32
My second Easter in the Mill
at the Water Black.
}
{T 00:37:13:36

}
{T 00:37:15:72
On Easter Saturday we had
the same task as before.
}
{T 00:37:19:00

}
{T 00:37:20:08
When darkness fell, our Master sent us
back where a man's life ended violently
}
{T 00:37:24:28

}
{T 00:37:24:28
to stay there until the morn.
}
{T 00:37:26:35

}
{T 00:37:27:72
This time, l told myself,
l won't listen to the Master.
}
{T 00:37:29:79

}
{T 00:37:30:20
l'll fly where my will takes me.
}
{T 00:37:32:80

}
{T 00:37:44:24
Welcome, waters, after so Great a Night!
Do not let me linger, put all to right!
}
{T 00:37:58:32

}
{T 00:38:01:28
Give me what you do give but once a year,
Bring him l dreamt of, lead him near!
}
{T 00:38:16:07

}
{T 00:38:41:37
My heart was pounding like a bell.
}
{T 00:38:42:84

}
{T 00:38:43:97
l felt this night my fate
had been decided.
}
{T 00:38:47:84

}
{T 00:39:03:85
he who has the Black Arts learned,
must sacrifice his whole heart to them.
}
{T 00:39:09:48

}
{T 00:39:10:25
He who would share his
heart with someone else
}
{T 00:39:12:49

}
{T 00:39:12:49
or give it to another,
may dig his grave before.
}
{T 00:39:17:20

}
{T 00:39:18:05
That's why you fly in pair
to guard one another.
}
{T 00:39:21:12

}
{T 00:39:21:89
Who disobeyed my order?
}
{T 00:39:23:64

}
{T 00:39:26:65
l ask you first, Krabat!
}
{T 00:39:28:24

}
{T 00:39:31:29
Now talk, Jura, talk!
}
{T 00:39:32:93

}
{T 00:39:36:49
So, if you stick thus together,
l'll put you to the test.
}
{T 00:39:41:61

}
{T 00:39:43:09
My Master came up with
a cruel punishment for us.
}
{T 00:39:45:40

}
{T 00:39:46:61
Jura he transformed into a horse and
l was ordered to go sell him for fifty florins.
}
{T 00:39:51:16

}
{T 00:39:52:57
Jura, who had no great
talent in the Black Arts,
}
{T 00:39:55:13

}
{T 00:39:55:13
was terribly afraid lest
he should be a horse all his life.
}
{T 00:39:57:56

}
{T 00:39:58:17
He could not
retransform himself.
}
{T 00:40:00:52

}
{T 00:40:12:41
l said l'd rid him of his fears.
And we exchanged our roles.
}
{T 00:40:15:88

}
{T 00:40:19:73
l gave him back his human
form and l became a horse.
}
{T 00:40:23:01

}
{T 00:40:23:97
Once Jura sold me in the market,
l'd turn into a man.
}
{T 00:40:27:60

}
{T 00:40:28:17
For me, that was not hard.
}
{T 00:40:29:60

}
{T 00:40:41:01
ln the city we stopped
by the town hall.
}
{T 00:40:43:16

}
{T 00:40:43:41
The square was empty,
not a living soul.
}
{T 00:40:46:40

}
{T 00:40:47:21
That's not what we expected.
}
{T 00:40:48:28

}
{T 00:40:49:53
Suddenly, a buyer came and offered
fifty pieces of gold for me.
}
{T 00:40:52:89

}
{T 00:40:54:05
Jura was pleased that he had sold
me well and did not see to whom.
}
{T 00:40:57:93

}
{T 00:41:46:94
Don't ever try to fool me again!
This is my last warning!
}
{T 00:41:52:93

}
{T 00:41:54:26
l give you leave to become a man,
this once and nevermore.
}
{T 00:41:58:14

}
{T 00:42:32:34
Krabat!
}
{T 00:42:33:45

}
{T 00:42:34:66
Krabat!
}
{T 00:42:36:14

}
{T 00:43:17:78
The Master had left the mill for some
days, everyone was happier then.
}
{T 00:43:21:49

}
{T 00:43:22:46
We lived freely, even though
we had a lot of work.
}
{T 00:43:25:37

}
{T 00:43:30:62
But to me, life was but a dream.
}
{T 00:43:32:69

}
{T 00:43:33:46
My thoughts were all with her.
}
{T 00:43:34:98

}
{T 00:43:35:50
To fly to her was all l wished!
}
{T 00:43:38:38

}
{T 00:43:39:38
Nothing could prevent me now.
}
{T 00:43:41:58

}
{T 00:43:42:22
l had the wings.
}
{T 00:43:43:74

}
{T 00:43:44:70
Only Jura saw me
when l left the mill.
}
{T 00:43:47:54

}
{T 00:44:22:58
Blessed l was that day.
}
{T 00:44:23:98

}
{T 00:44:24:83
l found her straight away,
and she at last knew me!
}
{T 00:44:27:58

}
{T 00:44:28:95
And still we did not speak.
}
{T 00:44:30:54

}
{T 00:44:31:23
But eyes can speak to eyes.
And in a moment, more
}
{T 00:44:34:90

}
{T 00:44:34:95
than the most beautiful
of words can say.
}
{T 00:44:37:46

}
{T 00:44:54:83
Suddenly Jura's voice
interrupted us.
}
{T 00:44:56:50

}
{T 00:44:59:35
He warned me.
The Master had returned.
}
{T 00:45:02:07

}
{T 00:45:03:07
l must quickly come in raven
form, lest l bring danger
}
{T 00:45:06:98

}
{T 00:45:07:43
to her who was more dear
to me than my own life.
}
{T 00:45:09:26

}
{T 00:45:22:39
Far from the mill we flew low to hide.
}
{T 00:45:25:19

}
{T 00:45:26:43
The forest thick and bushes
hid us still. Lucky us!
}
{T 00:45:29:66

}
{T 00:45:30:31
The angry Master waited,
in the form of an eagle.
}
{T 00:45:32:78

}
{T 00:45:33:99
While sharpening his claws, we slipped
stealthily behind his back into the mill.
}
{T 00:45:38:27

}
{T 00:45:53:11
ln vain you hide your
secret, Krabat.
}
{T 00:45:55:83

}
{T 00:45:57:15
Who is that girl?
}
{T 00:45:58:30

}
{T 00:45:59:03
When l find her, she'll not
live to see the morn.
}
{T 00:46:02:02

}
{T 00:46:03:31
To me you sold your soul.
}
{T 00:46:04:98

}
{T 00:46:05:83
To me you belong. Only to me!
}
{T 00:46:09:27

}
{T 00:46:10:59
And she must not get in the way!
}
{T 00:46:13:63

}
{T 00:46:18:71
That night l thought how
to get out of the mill
}
{T 00:46:21:11

}
{T 00:46:21:11
and escape the reach
of its dark powers.
}
{T 00:46:23:63

}
{T 00:46:24:91
There was no way other than to defeat the Master.
}
{T 00:46:27:63

}
{T 00:46:29:11
lt would be hard and
Jura must help me.
}
{T 00:46:31:31

}
{T 00:46:56:79
There was but one way to sever
the ties of magic power.
}
{T 00:46:59:79

}
{T 00:47:01:11
To overcome the Master
in the Black Arts.
}
{T 00:47:03:03

}
{T 00:47:04:11
And there before us
lay the cursed book.
}
{T 00:47:06:15

}
{T 00:47:06:75
The book of spells.
}
{T 00:47:07:55

}
{T 00:47:08:87
We would learn to read in it.
}
{T 00:47:09:99

}
{T 00:47:10:59
We would know all its secrets to be ready
for the day of battle with the Master.
}
{T 00:47:15:67

}
{T 00:48:25:36
That year the winter came early.
}
{T 00:48:27:75

}
{T 00:48:29:28
The land was clothed in a white fur coat
}
{T 00:48:31:12

}
{T 00:48:31:12
and merrily rang the bells in joyful
anticipation of Christmas coming!
}
{T 00:48:34:75

}
{T 00:48:36:24
Only in the mill were all seized ill,
unrest and fear the rule.
}
{T 00:48:38:67

}
{T 00:48:39:52
As always at year's end, the eldest
of us all awaited his inexorable fate.
}
{T 00:48:43:83

}
{T 00:48:44:96
This time it was our Michal's turn.
}
{T 00:48:47:43

}
{T 00:48:48:44
Take this shovel!
A grave must be dug.
}
{T 00:48:52:19

}
{T 00:48:53:64
For whom it waits is to be seen.
}
{T 00:48:56:36

}
{T 00:49:12:52
-Michal! Michal! Come back!
}
{T 00:49:15:80

}
{T 00:49:55:68
lt's no use, Krabat! l know what awaits me.
}
{T 00:50:01:12

}
{T 00:50:01:72
My test with the Master.
}
{T 00:50:03:00

}
{T 00:50:03:68
Everyone must face it once.
}
{T 00:50:05:68

}
{T 00:50:53:61
Are you prepared, Michal?
}
{T 00:50:55:52

}
{T 00:52:39:85
When Michal's brave heart
stopped the mill stood still.
}
{T 00:52:43:29

}
{T 00:52:44:25
But not for long.
}
{T 00:52:45:40

}
{T 00:52:46:37
Along the snowy plains another boy did come,
his footprints leading unto the vicious mill.
}
{T 00:52:49:45

}
{T 00:53:15:46
ln the morning, we went
to greet our new apprentice.
}
{T 00:53:17:65

}
{T 00:53:18:14
l recognized him immediately, it was
Little Lobosh. Once we had sung carols.
}
{T 00:53:22:45

}
{T 00:53:23:30
Now the little Ethiopian King
was snared in the Devil's web!
}
{T 00:53:26:69

}
{T 00:53:29:14
Now l had one reason more
to face the Master down.
}
{T 00:53:32:21

}
{T 00:53:36:38
ln March it began to melt. Bad
weather not fit for a dog.
}
{T 00:53:41:05

}
{T 00:53:42:22
l made use of it and in the dark
again disappeared from the mill.
}
{T 00:53:45:18

}
{T 00:53:45:86
Short distance away was the girl
of my heart gave me courage.
}
{T 00:53:51:01

}
{T 00:54:02:22
l wanted to be close
and look upon her face.
}
{T 00:54:04:86

}
{T 00:54:06:10
Around me swelled the raging storm,
but l had eyes only for my love.
}
{T 00:54:09:33

}
{T 00:54:10:30
Then, l believed, l was the one
to guard her peaceful sleep.
}
{T 00:54:13:89

}
{T 00:54:14:62
Perchance most beautiful of dreams!
A dream wherein l would appear not as a raven,
}
{T 00:54:19:57

}
{T 00:54:20:26
but in my true form.
}
{T 00:54:22:06

}
{T 00:54:23:66
l wished that night would never end,
and never come the morn!
}
{T 00:54:27:21

}
{T 00:54:33:22
But morning came and l had
no choice but to go back again.
}
{T 00:54:37:77

}
{T 00:54:50:22
The Master did not waste time.
}
{T 00:54:52:53

}
{T 00:54:53:02
He waited for me, wanting to catch me
out, wishing at last to learn something.
}
{T 00:54:56:06

}
{T 00:54:57:46
Luckily, Jura was there too
and knew just what to do.
}
{T 00:55:01:17

}
{T 00:55:25:06
Night after night from that
night on, the Master watched.
}
{T 00:55:28:14

}
{T 00:55:28:86
While he waited on the roof, we
went into the forbidden chamber.
}
{T 00:55:32:38

}
{T 00:55:35:18
On the final page of the master's
book we found a mysterious formula.
}
{T 00:55:39:10

}
{T 00:55:40:18
Love is stronger than any spell.
}
{T 00:55:44:70

}
{T 00:55:46:26
We read it again and again, but
could not find the sense of it.
}
{T 00:55:49:86

}
{T 00:56:29:79
Whatever l did, l could think of nothing but
the puzzling formula in the back of that book.
}
{T 00:56:34:42

}
{T 00:56:35:19
How could a simple girl overcome
an evil magician?
}
{T 00:56:38:66

}
{T 00:56:39:03
And how could l ask her to?
}
{T 00:56:41:59

}
{T 00:56:46:35
What beautiful names l invented
for her when l was alone.
}
{T 00:56:49:42

}
{T 00:56:50:07
But when l looked upon her face,
l could not speak a word.
}
{T 00:56:53:90

}
{T 00:57:39:43
Shoo! Shoo Shoo!
}
{T 00:57:43:34

}
{T 00:58:48:87
The Master searched in vain for us.
}
{T 00:58:50:79

}
{T 00:58:52:11
l had learned enough from the magic book,
enough for us to be safe.
}
{T 00:58:55:87

}
{T 00:58:58:56
Which of you goes secretly
into the forbidden chamber?
}
{T 00:59:01:02

}
{T 00:59:03:44
Then l will test you all.
}
{T 00:59:05:43

}
{T 00:59:06:00
Remain here, Jura.
The others may leave.
}
{T 00:59:09:67

}
{T 00:59:12:48
Now together we will fly to a place
where l will give you a task.
}
{T 00:59:15:83

}
{T 00:59:16:16
lt will decide all.
}
{T 00:59:17:48

}
{T 00:59:21:00
Barely had the Master left the
mill, than l too disappeared.
}
{T 00:59:23:64

}
{T 00:59:24:32
lt was a fine moonlit night.
}
{T 00:59:26:15

}
{T 00:59:27:16
l could not ask for a thing more beautiful
than a tryst with my own love.
}
{T 00:59:30:35

}
{T 00:59:33:20
But fear came and joined us there.
There too the Master looked for us.
}
{T 00:59:36:75

}
{T 00:59:49:12
But l remembered words
from the dark book.
}
{T 00:59:51:92

}
{T 00:59:53:36
Magic powers, we would be
flowers, of water lily fair.
}
{T 00:59:57:24

}
{T 00:59:57:88
And for a time, calm would float,
upon the waters rare!
}
{T 01:00:00:47

}
{T 01:00:10:48
ln vain he flew,
in vain he searched,
}
{T 01:00:12:44

}
{T 01:00:13:88
suspected we were there somewhere,
but could not find us out.
}
{T 01:00:16:35

}
{T 01:00:16:92
Only the Moon, the Guardian
of Lovers, silently knew.
}
{T 01:00:21:87

}
{T 01:00:25:40
The Master would not accept defeat. The next
day he called me into the Black Chamber.
}
{T 01:00:30:55

}
{T 01:00:31:32
ln exploring the black arts, you're
working harder than l expected.
}
{T 01:00:35:28

}
{T 01:00:36:20
l'll give you a task, and let
that test your mastery.
}
{T 01:00:39:59

}
{T 01:00:40:64
So you will decide your life or death.
}
{T 01:00:44:35

}
{T 01:00:48:84
The Master told me to fly away
into the Hungarian lands
}
{T 01:00:52:44

}
{T 01:00:52:72
where now the lmperial Army
was at war against the Turks.
}
{T 01:00:55:36

}
{T 01:00:56:24
There, l should subscribe to the commanding
general and follow out his orders.
}
{T 01:00:59:68

}
{T 01:01:01:20
A long flight after, l finally arrived
on the field of honor and glory.
}
{T 01:01:04:75

}
{T 01:01:05:52
l easily found our camp and
the tent of the military commander.
}
{T 01:01:09:48

}
{T 01:01:20:40
l introduced myself to the officers
present as a wizardwho came
}
{T 01:01:22:71

}
{T 01:01:23:80
to help them against the Turks.
}
{T 01:01:25:48

}
{T 01:01:26:96
l got a mockery for that,
no one believed me.
}
{T 01:01:29:40

}
{T 01:01:30:32
What could l do that would simply,
quickly get them to take me seriously?
}
{T 01:01:33:95

}
{T 01:01:38:92
Then l heard the full story of the kidnapping
of the Saxon marshal by a Turkish wizard.
}
{T 01:01:43:79

}
{T 01:01:44:08
l had come just at the right time.
}
{T 01:01:46:15

}
{T 01:01:46:84
My job was to free the prisoner and
bring him back to the lmperial camp.
}
{T 01:01:50:88

}
{T 01:01:51:45
l hurried to execute the order.
}
{T 01:01:53:00

}
{T 01:02:13:57
ln the Turkish field the tents grew
like mushrooms after the rain.
}
{T 01:02:16:16

}
{T 01:02:16:57
How to search for
the captured Marshal?
}
{T 01:02:18:44

}
{T 01:02:19:09
l started in the largest tent,
but what a tent l picked!
}
{T 01:02:21:73

}
{T 01:02:22:21
Here, the Great Sultan lived alone.
}
{T 01:02:24:04

}
{T 01:02:24:17
l did not wish to disturb him, but before
l could speak, l met with Turkish hospitality.
}
{T 01:02:28:60

}
{T 01:02:43:37
An armed guard brought
me back on track.
}
{T 01:02:45:64

}
{T 01:02:46:29
Only the captured Marshal could be under
so strict a watch. l was convinced of it.
}
{T 01:02:50:33

}
{T 01:02:51:25
l needed only to get into the tent
nd quietly lead the prisoner away.
}
{T 01:02:55:88

}
{T 01:03:06:01
First l had to get rid
of the dangerous Turk.
}
{T 01:03:08:57

}
{T 01:03:09:01
l transformed him to a mouse.
}
{T 01:03:10:52

}
{T 01:03:10:89
A small, harmless mouse
And thus he kept his watch!
}
{T 01:03:14:96

}
{T 01:03:46:09
l finally found the captured Marshal.
}
{T 01:03:48:08

}
{T 01:03:49:05
Surrounded by guards,
armed to the teeth.
}
{T 01:03:51:61

}
{T 01:03:52:29
To get him out of there alive
was a challenge fit for a magician.
}
{T 01:03:53:28

}
{T 01:04:00:09
The test of my mastery began.
}
{T 01:04:03:13

}
{T 01:05:02:54
l thought l had won,
but worse still awaited me.
}
{T 01:05:06:09

}
{T 01:05:07:22
The evil omen soon appeared.
}
{T 01:05:09:05

}
{T 01:05:10:42
lt seemed to me the Turkish
wizard was that black eagle
}
{T 01:05:13:02

}
{T 01:05:13:02
wanting to snatch my Saxon Marshal back.
}
{T 01:05:14:77

}
{T 01:05:35:74
Krabat!
}
{T 01:05:36:73

}
{T 01:05:37:38
Jura's voice! My blood froze.
}
{T 01:05:40:61

}
{T 01:05:41:38
Krabat!
}
{T 01:05:42:70

}
{T 01:05:43:22
l had shot my truest friend!
}
{T 01:05:45:81

}
{T 01:05:47:18
Now l understood
the Master's diabolical plan.
}
{T 01:05:49:77

}
{T 01:05:51:42
He had sent Jura to serve the Turks and me
the Emperor. We were to destroy each other.
}
{T 01:05:56:97

}
{T 01:05:57:86
But there was no time for despair.
l had to quickly care for my injured Jura,
}
{T 01:06:02:22

}
{T 01:06:02:22
who, it seemed to me, was in a dire way.
}
{T 01:06:04:45

}
{T 01:06:06:14
l transformed him and me into ravens again
and went with him on the long journey home.
}
{T 01:06:11:06

}
{T 01:06:16:18
ln my excitement, l forgot
the Saxon Marshal.
}
{T 01:06:19:30

}
{T 01:06:21:50
l flew by day and flew by night
as fast as feather could.
}
{T 01:06:24:38

}
{T 01:06:25:34
Already it grew colder now.
}
{T 01:06:27:09

}
{T 01:07:04:14
You messed up your test.
}
{T 01:07:06:50

}
{T 01:07:06:82
The Marshal still runs as a horse,
lost among the fields.
}
{T 01:07:10:13

}
{T 01:07:10:74
Take this shovel and go dig a grave.
lt is your last task.
}
{T 01:07:16:34

}
{T 01:07:17:06
You bound yourself and you must obey.
}
{T 01:07:20:37

}
{T 01:07:53:67
Now you will find out
who is the Master here!
}
{T 01:07:55:94

}
{T 01:07:57:11
And you shall not escape your fate.
}
{T 01:07:59:22

}
{T 01:08:02:99
lt was decided.
}
{T 01:08:04:54

}
{T 01:08:05:47
l had lost my battle with the Master,
the end of Tony and Michal awaited me.
}
{T 01:08:09:94

}
{T 01:08:11:03
But Jura had not given up.
}
{T 01:08:12:59

}
{T 01:08:13:39
Wounded as he was,
he flew to find my aid.
}
{T 01:08:15:74

}
{T 01:08:16:43
He remembered the words from the magic
book, that love is stronger than any spell.
}
{T 01:08:21:95

}
{T 01:08:45:43
What do you want?
}
{T 01:08:46:22

}
{T 01:08:48:15
Give me back my boy!
}
{T 01:08:49:42

}
{T 01:08:50:27
l do not know him!
}
{T 01:08:51:34

}
{T 01:08:54:07
Krabat, whom l love.
}
{T 01:08:56:11

}
{T 01:08:56:55
Krabat? Do you know him at all?
Are you able to find him?
}
{T 01:09:02:23

}
{T 01:09:04:11
Alright. lf you can find him among
them all, you can take him home.
}
{T 01:09:10:82

}
{T 01:09:12:03
And if not, never again
will you see the morn.
}
{T 01:09:16:50

}
{T 01:09:21:35
Go to the Black Chamber
and stand in line!
}
{T 01:09:23:87

}
{T 01:09:50:27
Stay where you are.
}
{T 01:09:51:39

}
{T 01:09:52:03
Let no one speak a word.
Or she will die.
}
{T 01:09:55:66

}
{T 01:09:57:91
l had not thought of this.
}
{T 01:09:59:27

}
{T 01:10:00:67
Without a blindfold, she would know me
from the other ravens, but now all was lost.
}
{T 01:10:05:14

}
{T 01:10:20:11
She passed me by...
}
{T 01:10:20:91

}
{T 01:10:22:51
My heart pounded with
fear for her life.
}
{T 01:10:25:03

}
{T 01:10:39:60
This is he.
}
{T 01:10:40:51

}
{T 01:10:43:04
Are you sure?
}
{T 01:10:44:02

}
{T 01:10:45:04
Yes. l hear the voice of his heart.
lt is he.
}
{T 01:10:49:63

}
{T 01:11:27:80
We all came out of that suffocating
smoke into the pure light of day.
}
{T 01:11:32:31

}
{T 01:11:33:52
We were free.
As free as birds again!
}
{T 01:11:37:83

}
{T 01:11:39:12
The vicious mill turned into ash.
}
{T 01:11:41:68

}
{T 01:11:42:52
The Master was overwhelmed, and all his
spells were overruled by simple, selfless love.
}
{T 01:11:48:52

}
{T 01:11:58:52
lnside the vicious mill the final fire raged.
}
{T 01:12:02:07

}
{T 01:12:02:40
That was the end of all its evil power.
}
{T 01:12:05:07

}
{T 01:12:06:32
As fire engulfed the witchy book,
the magic started leeching,
}
{T 01:12:10:76

}
{T 01:12:11:44
and with it disappeared from
us all the Master's teaching.
}
{T 01:12:13:51

}
{T 01:12:14:08
All sorcery was ended then.
}
{T 01:12:17:04

}
{T 01:12:18:52
And we became ordinary people.
}
{T 01:12:20:96

}
{T 01:12:22:44
And it was good.
}
{T 01:12:23:56

}
