Short filmTranscript
00:00Ten years ago, Skyron and I got married on this very day.
00:15Skyron! You're home!
00:30Why?
00:31Because the woman I love has always been Daphne.
00:35Daphne? My demigod sister?
00:38You should have stepped aside a long time ago.
00:40I never knew. If you loved her, why didn't you refuse me ten years ago?
00:46You're Zeus' favorite daughter. When he ordered the marriage, I had no choice.
00:51If it weren't for you, Daphne and I would have been together long ago.
00:56I gave you everything. I made you the most powerful god on Olympus.
01:03How could you be this cruel? Please, save me.
01:10If you do, I swear, I won't tell my father. He'll never know.
01:17Your father won't get the chance to know.
01:25Ten years, and I never realized how deeply my husband hated me.
01:30My foolish love destroyed my father.
01:32Oh, fates!
01:33If I could live it again, I would never choose him.
01:37He could live the way!
01:40If he could live it again...
01:44Oh!
01:44Hello, Fates!
01:45Tha, Tha, Tha!
01:47Tha, Tha. Tha!
01:48Tha, Tha! Tha!
02:02Salumi. Today, you choose your husband.
02:05I'm alive. I've returned to the day of the choosing. The fate's heard me.
02:11You've always liked Skirin. If he can make my beloved daughter happy, then choose him.
02:19No, father.
02:21What is it?
02:23I won't choose Skirin. I choose him.
02:29It's him?
02:33It's him? Why did I choose him? My worst nightmare.
03:08Skirin is going to love it.
03:17After I married Skirin, Alexander went to the war. He died on the battlefield. After that, we never met again.
03:26Are you certain? You've never gotten along. And you've always loved Skirin. Why the sudden change?
03:36Because I've made my decision. I choose Alexander. Alexander may be my rival, but he never stabbed me through the
03:42heart.
03:42If the fates have given me a second chance, then I'll make a different choice this time.
03:50Selina, who did you choose?
03:53It's Skirin. Everyone knows how deeply she loves him.
03:57If there's one god she'd never choose, it's Alexander. They fight every time they're in the same room.
04:04Skirin, I gave you everything, and you repaid my death this time.
04:08Skirin. The one I choose is.
04:17My engagement ceremony will take place in seven days.
04:21Hermides will announce my chosen husband then.
04:24When that day comes, you'll all know.
04:28Skion, you'll be there, won't you?
04:35Lady Selina.
04:46I just can't believe it.
04:48Daphne, are you hurt?
04:51Apologize to her. Now!
04:53The same old trick.
05:01Skion, I didn't!
05:06Daphne, that trick won't work on me anymore. She tore her own dress. She injured herself on purpose.
05:12On purpose. Why should I apologize?
05:14Lady Selina, are you saying Daphne harmed herself to frame you? I wouldn't rush to conclusions.
05:20That's enough! Everyone knows! Daphne is kind and pure. She would never do something so vile!
05:27Skimon! Skimon, watch your tone!
05:29Stop! Everyone knows Simon is obsessed with Skimon. Don't make an enemy of him.
05:34I once let my love blind me. No matter what Skirin did, I forgave him. That will never happen again.
05:40I'll ask you one last time. Did I do this?
05:43If I offended you in any way, lady, I apologize. But there's no need to humiliate me like this.
05:48My father granted me supreme authority. If I wish to punish you, I need no permission, no excuse.
05:56You like pretending to be pitiful? Then I'll indulge you.
06:08Selina, you've gone too far.
06:11Over the line? You insulted me first. You judged me with no proof.
06:18If anyone crossed the line today, it was you.
06:29Did you see that? Selina actually reprimanded Skirin in public?
06:33She used to protect him no matter what.
06:40Thank you for speaking up earlier. My engagement ceremony is in seven days. Be there.
06:45Does it matter? You're not choosing me anyway.
06:47I might be busy that day. But I'll send you a generous engagement gift.
06:52Sue.
06:56I will choose you. And I'll prepare a gift for you as well.
07:09Gem is called the Tear of the Stars. It was forged from fragments of falling stars, gathered by the three
07:15fates themselves.
07:16It carries their blessing for lovers. A one-of-a-kind treasure in all the realms.
07:24Skirin.
07:26Thank you for walking with me today.
07:31This is my fault.
07:34Selina took her anger out on you because of me.
07:37She's of pure blood, high status.
07:39She's always been able to take whatever she wants.
07:42I'm used to it.
07:45Daphne shouldn't have to endure this.
07:47I'll make it up to her, no matter the cost.
07:50I heard Hephaestus forged a gemstone unlike any other.
07:54Could I see it?
07:57Of course.
08:01I want that blue gem.
08:04Skirin.
08:11Skirin.
08:12This must be the one I told you about.
08:14The unique treasure.
08:16If you want it, I'll make sure you have it.
08:21Selina.
08:22What are you doing here?
08:23Were you following me?
08:28I was here first.
08:30Stop being so paranoid.
08:33Like you've never done it before.
08:50Don't worry.
08:51That won't happen again.
08:53Hephaestus.
08:54I'll pay 100,000 gold oins for the gem.
08:58Skion.
09:00It's beautiful.
09:02Lady Selene can have any jewel she wants.
09:05I've never owned anything so special.
09:08I'll buy it for you.
09:11You already have more jewels than you can count.
09:13Can't you let her have this one?
09:15I'll pay three times your offer.
09:16With your Selomefin?
09:18She's never refused me before.
09:21Do you really think I care about a few extra coins?
09:24Lady Selene.
09:26I've heard the tear of the stars carries the fate's blessing for lovers.
09:30Are you buying it to give to Skion?
09:32I've promised Daphne I'll fulfill every one of her wishes.
09:36You're going to give me the gem eventually anyway.
09:38Why not now?
09:39You pushed her down the steps.
09:41She was hurt.
09:43This is the least you owe her.
09:45So, let me get this straight.
09:48You want me to buy the gem
09:51so you can hand it to Daphne and play the hero?
09:56Skion, you truly have no shame.
10:00Too bad.
10:01The tear of the stars isn't for you.
10:04I'm taking it.
10:06Something's wrong.
10:08She's not acting like herself at all.
10:10Forget it, Skyman.
10:11I don't want it anymore.
10:12Let's go.
10:13No.
10:14You deserve the best the world has to offer.
10:17Fine.
10:18I'll indulge you.
10:19But can you actually afford it?
10:22He needs to eventually want some rock.
10:25It's only 300,000 gold.
10:30There's no benefits to now, let's film it.
10:37What?
10:39That's impossible.
10:43What is this?
10:44Open another bag now!
10:52That's impossible.
10:54How could this happen?
10:57Everything my father ever gifted me,
10:59I used to give you half.
11:01Now, I've replaced every coin I ever gave you
11:04with worthless scrap.
11:05What's wrong?
11:06You finally realize you're broke?
11:08Please, wrap it up.
11:18Lady Selna, that was incredible.
11:20Honestly, I've never seen Skyrim so humiliated.
11:23But aren't you afraid?
11:25After all this, won't he ignore you once you're engaged?
11:29You think I'm choosing him too?
11:31Of course.
11:32All the gods know you'd do anything for him.
11:34You'd never choose anyone else.
11:36Then on the day of the engagement ceremony,
11:39the gods are in for quite a show.
11:43My gold doesn't just turn into scrap.
11:45This has to be Selima's doing.
11:47I'm sorry, my love.
11:49You've suffered again.
11:50Because of me.
11:52It's my fault.
11:53Selima is of pure divine blood.
11:55A goddess like her can have anything she wants.
11:58Someone like me.
11:59A half-blood with mortal lineage.
12:01How could I ever dare want what she desires?
12:04Don't say that.
12:04Three years ago, I was cursed by Eris.
12:07I was bleeding to death.
12:09If you hadn't lifted that curse, I'd be dead.
12:13Selera could never compare to you.
12:15This is what happens when you anger me.
12:21The one who lifted your curse wasn't me.
12:24You chose the wrong savior, you fool.
12:27But a half-blood like me is despised on Olympus.
12:30Every step upward is a struggle.
12:41Father, why are you doing this?
12:44You moron!
12:46You dared to slight Lady Selene.
12:49A mere low-born half-blood like you!
12:56Humanity has ceased to worship us as before.
12:59For generations, Selene's favor kept our lineage standing.
13:03So that's why my gold turned into scrap.
13:06If you truly want Daphne, then at least wait until after the engagement.
13:12Relax, father. Selene's just throwing a tantrum.
13:15Her love for me is blind.
13:17Even if she caught Daphne and me in bed together, she'd cry for a day or two.
13:22Then crawl right back.
13:32Soon we'll know who Selene chose as her fiancé.
13:35It's Skiron, there's no other possibility.
13:38I heard Skiron has someone else.
13:40Looks like today will be entertaining.
13:48Alexander?
13:50Your engagement gift.
13:54But the ceremony hasn't even begun. Why the rush?
13:57Because I'm leaving. I won't be there today.
14:01Try it. If you don't show up, I swear I'll make you regret it.
14:08Selene, I can't watch another man take your hand.
14:11I don't trust myself to stay calm.
14:13I mean, I'd probably ruin your engagement just for fun.
14:24You dare not show up and see what happens!
14:29Alexander, today's fiancé is you!
14:43What are you doing here?
14:50Lady Selene, I know I'm nothing more than a lowly half-blood, unworthy of even standing before you.
14:57But Skyr and I really love each other.
14:59Please, don't take him away from me.
15:02And if I insist...
15:06Skyron is mine.
15:09You brought this on yourself, Selona!
15:12Help!
15:14Daphne!
15:27Daphne!
15:29Selene!
15:30I already agreed to marry you!
15:32Why couldn't you just leave Daphne alone?
15:35Her power is weak.
15:37Did you really mean to throw her into divine punishment and kill her?
15:41I didn't push her.
15:42Skyron, please don't blame Lady.
15:45This is my fault.
15:46I only wanted to congratulate her.
15:49But I must have angered her instead.
15:51I can't believe it.
15:53Selene using lightning to murder a rival?
15:56This is a disgrace to the gods.
15:59Last time you pushed Daphne down the stairs, she chose not to pursue it.
16:03But this time, I will reet.
16:06I will not tolerate it.
16:08Apologize!
16:08Now!
16:09Apologize?
16:10To her?
16:14Never.
16:16Then I'll have my gods force you to kneel.
16:18Guards!
16:23Take your filthy hands off her.
16:33Alexander!
16:44How dare you show such rudeness to Selmyne!
16:47Mind your own business!
16:50Hermes will arrive any moment to announce me as your fiancée.
16:54Unless Daphne forgives you, there will be no engagement.
16:58Kneel!
16:59What are you waiting for?
17:01Make her kneel!
17:02I will!
17:06Enough!
17:13I am here to announce Zeus' decree.
17:16Seluna Kingsley's chosen fiancée is...
17:20Alexander.
17:30That's impossible!
17:32There must be a mistake!
17:35And why would you assume I'd choose you?
17:38I have no shortage of options.
17:42Alexander.
17:43Will you be my fiancée?
17:45If I say yes,
17:47you're not going to change your mind just to toy with me, are you?
17:50Why don't you see for yourself?
18:05If this is Zeus' will, then I'll obey with gratitude.
18:10No, this can't be real!
18:12Everything you did.
18:14Pushing Daphne into thunder.
18:16Playing hard to get.
18:18Wasn't it all just to get my attention?
18:22How could you possibly choose Alexander?
18:25Since you brought it up, let's clear something up.
18:28I won't allow anyone to slur my fiancée.
18:31Miss Daphne,
18:33how exactly did you fall into the lightning?
18:35I was speaking with Lady Selina.
18:38I only mentioned Scheman once,
18:40and she suddenly lost her temper.
18:42She summoned divine punishment.
18:46Is that your final story?
18:49Because Achilles begs to differ.
18:58Shall we invite him to confirm your story?
19:23Alexander,
19:24you summoned me.
19:26How may I serve?
19:27Tell everyone here.
19:28Tell them what you saw.
19:32I witnessed Lady Selina speaking with Daphne.
19:38After Daphne said something,
19:40she turned of her own accord
19:42and stepped directly into the lightning.
19:47That is correct.
19:49Daphne followed Lady Selina into the corridor.
19:52At no point did Lady Selina touch her.
19:55It was Daphne herself who walked into the thunder.
20:00gods.
20:01She took the divine strike just to ruin Selemi?
20:05Utterly despicable.
20:06Every tear and gentle word was faked.
20:10Such a blackened heart.
20:12Daphne,
20:13the evidence is undeniable.
20:15What do you have to say for yourself?
20:17No!
20:18No!
20:22Daphne,
20:24Daphne,
20:24is it true?
20:30Did you deliberately step into lightning?
20:33Then pretend to be the victim?
20:38I didn't.
20:42Skiriman,
20:43Skiriman,
20:43believe me.
20:44I was just scared.
20:46The thunder was so close.
20:48I couldn't think clearly.
20:50But I would never frame Lady Selim.
20:53Never!
21:01Daphne,
21:02you went to great lengths
21:04to fabricate this scheme
21:05all to destroy my reputation.
21:08According to divine law,
21:09you are sentenced to 30 lashes.
21:14No!
21:19And you,
21:21you repeatedly showed me disrespect
21:23and attempted to humiliate me in public.
21:26By law,
21:28you are sentenced
21:29to seven days of confinement.
21:34A fair judgment.
21:36It seems we all misunderstood
21:37Lady Selumi.
21:39Indeed.
21:40To think Daphne could be so vile.
21:43He trusted the wrong person.
21:45Regret must be tearing him apart.
21:47Take them away.
21:51Ah!
21:52Ah!
21:53Ah!
21:54Ah!
22:13Gods of Olympias,
22:15today we gather
22:16to witness the union
22:17of my youngest daughter,
22:19Seluni,
22:19and Alexander,
22:20son of Poseidon.
22:22If you want to change your mind,
22:23this is your last chance.
22:25If you're still thinking about Skiriman,
22:26don't use me as an excuse.
22:28I'm not!
22:29Ah!
22:31Selima,
22:31Alexander,
22:32do you swear before all the gods
22:35that from this day forward,
22:37your power and your destiny
22:38shall be bound together as one?
22:41We swear!
22:52Will he even like it?
22:54Like what?
23:01Is this for me?
23:09Give it back.
23:12The tear of the stars.
23:19This is a gift meant for a lover.
23:22Saloni, don't tell me you've liked me all along.
23:31Don't flatter yourself. I bought it because it was beautiful, that's all.
23:35I'm going to bathe. Your room is over there. Don't get it wrong.
23:47Skinneron! I swear I never framed her!
23:53The evidence was undeniable. How do you expect me to believe you?
23:57Skiron, haven't you realized it yet?
24:00Everything that happened that day was Selmia's revenge.
24:03But...
24:05What do you mean?
24:06She hates us.
24:07So she joined forces with Alexander to humiliate us in front of everyone.
24:13That would explain it.
24:16Everyone thought she would choose me, yet she chose Alexander instead.
24:20You're right.
24:21I shouldn't have blamed you for everything.
24:24It's all right. Now that Selina has chosen Alexander, no one can separate us anymore.
24:31We can finally get engaged.
24:33You're right.
24:35I'll hold our engagement ceremony in the grandest palace.
24:38And you're right about something else.
24:40I'll hold our engagement ceremony in the grandest palace.
24:48So this is the luxurious, giantly built by Athena and Hephaedus?
24:52Skormon, if we could hold our engagement ceremony here, it would be perfect.
24:56Leave it to me, my dear. I'm a regular here.
25:02I'm sorry, sir. You may not enter.
25:04I'm a frequent guest here.
25:06There must be some mistake.
25:08You have been barred from entering the crystal palace.
25:10That's impossible.
25:11You must have this wrong.
25:13Summon the palace guardian.
25:15Now!
25:27Selina, this was your doing again, wasn't it?
25:36What nonsense are you talking about?
25:38Stop pretending!
25:40You're the one who had my access revoked, aren't you?
25:42This is your revenge!
25:43Your access was revoked because you betrayed us.
25:52Miss Selina, I understand that you resent us because Skiramos doesn't love you.
25:58But was it really necessary to go this far?
26:00I don't waste my time on people who don't matter.
26:03The crystal palace only receives the most exalted of gods.
26:08Scareder, face reality.
26:10Without me, you are nothing.
26:13Say that again!
26:15Touch my fiancé again, and I promise you will regret it.
26:21Ski on!
26:26You dared to insult our most honored guests.
26:30These two are permanently barred from the crystal palace.
26:42You still dare bring her back here?
26:45If you hadn't lost your senses back then, Selian would never have chosen another.
26:49You ruined everything with your own hand!
26:52Father, I don't love Seliae.
26:54Other than Zeus' favor, she has nothing to her name.
26:57She lifted the curse?
26:58Among Zeus' descendants, there are rumors of one who possesses immense purification power.
27:04Could it be you?
27:07I approve of your engagement.
27:09In three days, there will be a banquet of the gods.
27:12You too will attend with me.
27:15Yes.
27:17What a house of fools.
27:18I will be Skyrim's wife and I will be a god.
27:21I will be unstoppable.
27:39Selim, Daphne and I will be getting engaged in three days.
27:42Thank you for leaving.
27:44Don't misunderstand.
27:45I didn't let go to complete you.
27:47I was helping myself get rid of useless baggage.
27:53Do you think marrying Skyrim will make you a winner?
27:57You will never become a goddess.
27:59You have no idea what kind of hell you're jumping into.
28:06Just look at them.
28:07Who would believe Miss Selina once favored Schema?
28:10Exactly.
28:11Selina and Alexander are perfectly matched.
28:28Father, father, father, father, father, what's wrong?
28:47It's the curse of Cerberus.
28:51Cerberus's curse?
28:53That's impossible.
28:54A year ago, Cerberus placed a hundred curses upon Eris and his bloodline.
28:59I went alone into the underworld and bargained with him using my septal.
29:03I lifted every curse, and in return I lost most of my divine power.
29:08This time, Scallon, no one is coming to save you.
29:26I was working for her to have the former
29:28to save you.
29:28I feel like I'm dead.
29:29I was going to save you.
29:31I'm not going to save you.
29:32I'm not going to save you.
29:33I'm not going to save you.
29:34I'm going to save you.
29:37You're going to save you.
29:54Daphne, three years ago you lifted the curse Eris had put on me.
29:58You can do it once more.
30:00Please, save my father.
30:02He thinks Daphne lifted the curse three years ago?
30:06It was me.
30:10Scyrim, I...
30:11There's no time. Do it! Save him!
30:16Damn it. I don't know how to break curses at all.
30:19No. I won't let myself be exposed now.
30:23I'd rather die than let Selene laugh at me.
30:26I... I need extremely rare herbs to lift Lord Eris' curse.
30:31Don't worry. We have everything you need.
30:33In the garden behind my palace, I cultivate the rarest medicinal plants in Olympus.
30:38Bring them here. Immediately.
30:45Every rare herb known to the gods is right there. Please. Begin.
30:50I... I also need a goat.
30:52A living sacrifice is required to break a curse of this magnitude.
