00:00Slender is the strand that guides our destiny, known only by true sacrifice.
00:17In our kingdom of Ashkahet, no one understood this sacrifice more than Queen Neferes, my
00:28mother.
00:29I saw this when the Black Empire came to conscript us for their last stand at Ny'alotha.
00:39My mother refused them.
00:40For this treachery, your line will sever itself.
00:41This kingdom will wither with the waning of your work.
00:42Her strength defined us that day, and in that moment, we felt destined for greatness.
01:10But in the years that followed, our greatness was tarnished.
01:16Look at them out there, wretched, starving.
01:25I am not immune to our people's suffering.
01:28I believe better days will come.
01:31Not if you keep failing to seize the moment.
01:36What was the point of you freeing our future, only to leave us buried in the past?
01:43You comprehend so little.
01:46There is much for you to learn before you can be queen.
01:51Mother!
01:52Mother!
01:54Mother!
01:56Mother!
02:08Ansurik?
02:09Are you seeing this?
02:14You have heard my voice in your dreams, great queen.
02:19The Harbinger.
02:26Yes, of the Empire that was.
02:31But the old gods are dead.
02:34The Empire lies in ashes.
02:37And a shadow has fallen on your kingdom.
02:42But, the blood of the old gods
02:47can make your people powerful again.
02:51Your reign could last for eternity.
02:57All you have to do is take my hand.
03:06Your words are tempting,
03:09but the cost is too great.
03:12I would never risk my kingdom for such power.
03:17Mother, who are you talking to?
03:22Oh, ghosts, dearest.
03:25As always, they are my ready counsel.
03:31I'm not sorry for what I said.
03:35I only want our people to be great once more.
03:40Greatness is fleeting.
03:43What we must do now is endure.
03:47Your time will come, child.
03:49But only when you are ready.
03:55What have you done?
04:01You're not the only one seeing ghosts, mother.
04:07How sad to have a queen so wise,
04:12and yet so ignorant to the call of destiny.
04:19You!
04:22Her name is Zalatath.
04:28You heard your chance, mother.
04:32This power, Ashkahet, is unbound.
04:38We will rise.
04:41We will conquer.
04:44And together, we will finally claim our destiny.
04:52Long live Queen Azerak.
