Would it be okay f I played just one more song?
0h, , , Of cou rse, Betty,
This is a specal song from my fa mly's homeland,
Aw!
You taught her the ' Forbdden Song'?
-No, of cou rse I ddn't, -Then how s she--
We have to stop her,
-Betty! -No!
-Keep it quet, -Quet down ,
We can't make a scene,
-But what f-- -Let her play,
What's the worst that could happen?
Brace for poetic justce,
Rather poor tmng, Betty,
The howlng sprites of da rk portend,
Now you'll meet a brutal end !
What?
You shouldn't have told me to sit!
0w! Sit! St! Stop t!
Prophecy fulflled !
Bad dog , Ow!
I don't thin k anyone saw our Ittle scrimmage,
We're covering t up now,
M m-hmm,
H mm,
Why are you so ang ry?
It was just a song !
Just a song?!
What else doesn't she know?
Shh, what are you dong?
I know a lot of th ngs, actual ly,
0u r home country s the Kingdom of Nahwaer,
Mom and Dad's people, the Mag a nd the Clef,
are both from there and we left
because a terrble tyra nt tried to ba n musc,
Rght, and that's all she needs to know,
Do you know the tyra nt s our grandfather?
What?!
There's a lot we haven't told you, Betty,
St wth me, Betty,
It's tme I told you everything ,
Uh, , , come on, kids, I-I'll put the kettle on ,
That song you played s forbdden, Bet,
In Nahwaer, it's known as 'The Song of the CIef, '
Why s t forbdden?
Because for centu ries,,,
the Mag a nd the Clef were at war,
fig htng for control of Nahwaer,
And whi le the Mag had great magcal powers,
the Clef possessed an ancent song
that cancelled all magc,
After decades of fig htng,
the ancient kngs declared peace should be made,
The Mag promised never to use thei r magic against the Clef,
The Clef promsed never agan to play that forbdden song,
However, many many years later, that truce was broken,
0ne day my father, Kng Murkhart, and I
were by the rverbank while we sang a speca l song we shared
since I was a lttle grl,
Where alone wth no cares n the world
My eyes were drawn to a ha ndsome young Clef on the rver,
He played a long with the song that I was snging ,
It was love at frst sght
for both of us,
My father, seeing ths, became enraged
and turned hs magic onto the young Clef,
To save his own lfe, your father
played 'The Song of the Clef,'
Because of ths,
the furous king rou nded u p and mprsoned the Clef,
He bu rned ther instruments
so the ' Forbidden Song' could never be played agan,
And ordered the executon of your father,
But I cou ld never let that happen,
This angered the king
even more-
We escaped ,
And we can never go back,
But f you and Dad escaped,
why s the 'Forbdden Song' still forbdden?
There's a legend n Nahwaer, It says:
"A child wi ll be born to a Mag a nd a Clef
and that chi ld wll brng music and magic
back into harmony,"
You mea n , , , me?
So then, f I can set the Clef free,
then we have to go to Na hwaer rig ht away!
No! No, you ca n never set foot n Nahwaer,
You can never play the ' Forbdden Song'
and I'm sorry but whle we Iive amongst the hu mans
you can N EVER Iearn magc,
Why not?!
Because f you do,
Kng Murkhart wl l fnd you and he'l l destroy you ,
My own grandfather?
Yes! And then he'l l come for the rest of us,
But I have to help the Clef, I HAVE to!
How ca n I help f I'm stuck here
pretendng I don't know anythi ng?!
No magic, nothng !
If you real ly want to help, Betty, stay here,
It's the only way to keep us safe,
So,,,
I'l l never, not in my whole lfe, Iearn magc?
I'm sorry, Betty,
Where are you, Floods?
You can't hide forever,
My Ki ng, I bring i mages,
Flooods,
Ah !
Thank you, underlng,
Hello, , , g randdaughter,
You there, Gra n?
G ran, I need you r advice!
All that stuff about me beng born to a Magi and a Clef,
I can't be the only one, can I?
There must be someone else out there who ca n stop M u rkhart,
Because f I am the on ly one, the Clef wll never be free,
I'm j ust M E! I'm just Betty,
I can't stop Murkhart, I can't even do magc,
And Mom said I'm never even allowed to LEARN magic,
" Not whi le we lve amongst the humans,"
Although, she ddn't menton anythng a bout non-humans,
So then, what f I went someplace wth NO hu mans?
Somewhere in the magica l rea lm?
Come on , Thin k, Betty, Thin k!
Somewhere,,,
Ugh, come on, Quck, Betty, Quck,,,

But, , , you have musc,
Musc is you r power,
The music is forgotten ,
Uncle Knute, that can't be true,
It's true, It's too late!
Maybe THIS will remnd you,
0u r song?
I thought al l record of t was destroyed ,
Dad kept it safe,
Now you can play the 'The Song of the Clef'

-Is it true? -Can t be?
We can learn ths but t's gong to take tme,

Use your magc,
What? Mom, I don't--
Lsten to me ca reful ly,
Your magc sn't lke other Mag
because t combnes the power of the Clef's music,
Do you u nderstand?
Musc?
And magic?
Remember the prophecy,
You have to bri ng the two together n harmony,
Wat, I don't--
What's ths? A lttle fa mi ly reu non?
How touchng,
Bet, get out of here!

But now that I've found you, Betty,

With you by my side,
no one can stop us,
Sorry to disappoint, Gram ps, but I won't be much help,
I have no magic,
I want to be wth my famly,
As do I, my dear,
That's ALL I ever wanted ,
When I'm lost and saddeni ng
Melody comes and brngs on a gladdenng
Alrght, thanks everyone, Thank you ,
Maybe they HAVE forgotten how to be muscians,
It's not us, It's you ,
Can we try wthout the, , , accompanment?
How are we gong to turn them nto a muscal army NOW?!
Lke ths,
It's tme for the musc
Tme for the music
Whoa !
Let go you r troubles
Let go you r pan
Hu ngry, gra nddaughter?
0h, now don't be like that,
Here's a lttle somethng I prepared earlier,
Mom, Dad!
Have a seat,
- Hey, beste, - Now, now!
We're al l tryng to have a lovely dnner,
No bckerng at the table,
Can't we avoid all ths nonsense
and j ust execute them a ll, Sre?
Executon?
Eh, wel l ,,,
But t's just so fnal, sn't t?
Ah, but I do apprecate your zeal, Volos,
0f cou rse, my Lord,
Look, t's just SO wonderful
to be together agai n ,
A toast!
They're chaned to their chai rs!
Ah, yes,
Wel l, it doesn't have to be ths way,
But that all depends on YOU ,
Doesn't t?
I wou ld love nothng more
than for us to all be one, bg, happy,
MAGICAL family,
All that's requred s for you to jon me
on the throne,
You'd set them free f I did?
Yes, as long as they behave themselves,
All your grandfather ever wanted
was to make a safe, happy home for you r fami ly,
And for ALL magcal bengs,
0ne wthout the foul corruption
of M USIC,
If I'd had that, I wou ld have been the happiest Magi
that ever lved ,
But nstead, my heart was crushed and I--
I'l l do t, - Wait, what?
I'l l jon you, su re, Whatever, Sou nds fun,
How very wse, Betty,
You clearly take after me,
Ah !
What about Dad?
0h, him? Wel l, never mi nd about him,
What happens to Dad?
Wel l, does t matter?
He's not real ly famly, is he?
He's just a,,,
Clef! A common mnstrel ,
What wl l you do wth him?
He'll be exiled from Nahwaer
to the dread ki ngdom
of Fahwaer!
What?
It's u n pleasa nt, to say the least,
It is a far-off rotscape,
filled wth every horror magnable,
G ross thngs,
Slthery a nd slppery thngs,
Tentacles, talons, tals,
Creepng, crawlng things
that torment every waking moment
and make sleep impossible,
No! I'll jon you ,
I'l l gve up magic but I'l l never gve up my famly,
Any of them--
ENOUG H !
I was hoping
we cou ld have 0N E cvl famly dnner,
But that j ust seems mpossble,
Please don't do this!
Too late, B,
It's done!
Move it, Clef scu m,
I sad move it!
What an uncouth little pox bottle,
Why, thank you !
My loya l subjects,
allow me to ntroduce my granddaughter
and her, the one and on ly
Pri ncess Betty!
Whoa !
And let me also ntroduce her tratorous famly,
the Floods!
Nerln Flood, you are charged
wth beng an annoyance to me
and a blght on the Iife of my family,
Uh, , , And a Clef to boot!
I hereby sentence you

FAHWAER!
0pen the portal !
I hear Fa hwaer's really, real ly dsgustng,
Smells like t,
I am so sad t has come to ths,
My daughter, a prncess,
had a lfe burstng with magc, She could've had ,,,
ANHING !
But she chose the one thing
that could bring our whole world down!
M USIC!
Would you like, , , like to say a few words?
I'd like to say one last thng to my fa mly,
0f cou rse, my dear,
Prepare you rselves, Floods!
Because magic s not the only power n this world,
What?!
How DARE you !
You ddn't always hate music, Father,
What are you talkng about?
These splnters of lig ht
Makng rainbows and daydreams,,,
0u r song!
- We're alone wth no cares -It's been so long,
In the world
These splnters of lig ht
In between me a nd you
Whisperng that you r dreams
Can all come true
You betrayed your people,
You abandoned me,
I chose love,
We should never have ru n, I can see that now,
We should've stayed and helped you u nderstand
that music and magc CAN live i n ha rmony,
0h come on, seriously?
That ma kes me sck to my stomach,
I am endng this NOW!
If you wa nt somethng done properly, do t yourself,
Bet, get out of there!
Get back, Betty!
Enough !
0h, you're cute,
Use your magc!
But, , , I don't have any,
You do! You 're the chi ld of Clef AN D Magi ,
Are you scared yet? Are you nervous?
Are you scared? Come on, real ly,
You have no magic
and you never wll,
I can't do t,
Remember the prophecy, Betty,
Your power comes from musc and magc together,
Look at you ! How smal l do you feel now, huh?
When I'm lost and saddenng
Melody comes and brngs on a gladdenng
It's tme for the musc
Tme for the music
Let go you r troubles
Let go you r pan
You can't stop the music
Can't stop the musc
Hearts fl lng up
And hopeful agan
Yes, go, Betty!
The legend ,,,
, , is true,
Yes, Sre!
We've gotta destroy her before t's too late,
The magc must prevail ,
The chi ld must de,
NO!
No?
I've changed my mind ,
What?! You promsed we would rule
F0REVER!
Wel l, thngs change, Famly comes first,
No,,,
Wel l, you know what?
This is exactly the knd of backstabbery
that makes me really, REALLY, , , angry,
Hear me, Magi!
Your kng has betrayed you ,
He has sold out your kngdom
to musc and the Clef!
Stand with me and make Nahwaer magic again!
Alrghty then, Floods, time to get busy,
Not so fast, Nerln,
It's okay, Father, We'l l ha ndle these phlistnes,
0h, Stanel, ready to have some fu n?
