00:14Tomorrow is my 18th birthday. I can finally leave this place for good, and live with my knight, my fiancรฉ
00:20Leon, forever.
00:25Ah, damn. You're getting better and better at this.
00:28I only have your highness's training. I'm nothing but your loyal weapon from battlefield to bedchain.
00:35Leon, how could you do this to me? Tomorrow is the day you're supposed to come and take me as
00:41your bride. I've been waiting for this since I was ten.
00:47You're really willing to let your fiancรฉ marry that evil dragon who feasts on brides and feel nothing at all?
00:53She's only the king's bastard after all. Being able to spare you and her majesty the burden by sending her
00:59in your place.
01:00And if he rip us her before he kills her?
01:04Then her sacrifice will be even more meaningful. Her blood will buy the kingdom at least ten years of peace.
01:10It's the best deal we could ask for.
01:29Eileen, you're not going anywhere. Come with me. We have a wedding to prepare.
01:33What's the point of preparing for a wedding? Wouldn't it be simpler to just kill me now?
01:39How could we do that? You're the princess.
01:42I never imagined that the freedom I've waited eighteen years for would end like this.
01:48Because you're the filthy little snake blood half-breed father could never stand the sight of.
01:52Eileen, mind your tongue around the princess.
01:56Guards, take her. Lock her in the water dungeon.
02:03Every ten years, the Empire must offer ten brides to the Dragon King. Otherwise, Dragonfire will rain down and burn
02:12our towns down.
02:14This year will be different. I only want one of you. The rest may live.
02:22My patience is running out. Otherwise, you all die.
02:29Even if I live, what then?
02:33I've never had a family who loved me.
02:35I've been a walking corpse for years, but they're different.
02:40They still have family's lovers waiting for them.
02:57I'm sorry, Maya. I swore I'd take good care of her, but I had no choice.
03:01If I didn't do this, the people would revolt and the kingdom would fall.
03:06You're still thinking about that shameless woman?
03:08She was the one who couldn't keep her legs shut.
03:11Cheated on you with the snake folk, and that's how that little snake blood half-breed came to be.
03:15Trading her for ten years' peace is a bargain.
03:18You, on the other hand, should be worrying about your own daughter.
03:21Wickie is already eighteen.
03:23Prince Silmus of the Serpent Clan.
03:24May his magic truly protect Wickie, and this kingdom.
03:29A wise decision, my king. I'll go make the marriage arrangements.
03:34You pathetic old fool. This crown should have been mine long ago.
03:44Who are you?
03:46Are you a dragon too? You don't bite, do you? Can I pet you?
03:51Don't touch it. That's the fierce beast of the Sky Castle, its guardian.
03:56My lord, I offered myself willingly as your bride.
04:00You can eat me if you must. Just spare the innocent commoners.
04:04In the eyes of you foolish humans, I'm nothing but a man-eating monster, am I?
04:12I don't know if you eat people or not, but...
04:16I'm hungry! I need food! Otherwise I'll starve to death here!
04:21There is no food in the Sky Castle. Drink some sky water and you'll feel full.
04:34I'm hungry!
04:37I'm hungry!
04:48There's no food in my mind.
04:49My lord! Wake up!
05:12don't come any closer this is a ladies bathroom men and women shouldn't share a bath
05:17but i'm not human that still doesn't mean you can just strip my head claws off whenever you want

13:45nooooo
13:53say uh
13:55uh
14:06my bride looks after me and me alone
14:18That's the first time I've seen you smile.
14:55Noah, stop! You're hurting me, please!
15:14Noah, why did you bring me here? The wind, it feels like it's screaming.
15:21It's not the wind, it's the ghosts of my kind. Look at this cliff, Eileen.
15:27What happened here?
15:30Ten years ago, I watched my father die, pierced by human spears.
15:35I was so small, so full of hate.
15:40I jumped from this very road, running for death.
15:48But you survived.
15:54I didn't just survive, I changed.
15:57At that moment, I became the last dragon on Earth.
16:04I was so small, so full of hate.
16:16Stop! I can hear them! The women crying!
16:20That is the legacy of my ancestors.
16:23They sang the dragon song to lure girls like you.
16:27Why? Just to kill them?
16:29To survive. To breed.
16:31They died, but no human girl could survive the hatching of a dragon egg.
16:40They died in agony.
16:43Their bodies, they literally burst from the inside.
16:50And the dragon fire, I saw it in my dreams.
16:56My ancestors burned them alive, hoping the flames would save the eggs.
17:02It never worked.
17:08Now you know why I keep you at a distance.
17:11To touch you is to sentence you to death.
17:19He told me the truth, how every bride before me died, burned and torn apart from the inside.
17:25I should be screaming, but all I see is a man drowning in a curse.
17:29I won't let him face it alone.
17:31Get away!
17:32Didn't you hear me?
17:33If you don't run, you'll be the next name carved into these stones!
17:38My inner beast has smelled your blood.
17:40It's begging me to tear you apart!
17:43Then why are you shaking?
17:44If you were just a beast, you wouldn't be suffering like this just to warn me.
17:56Because I refuse to be a monster like my father.
17:59I won't watch you turn to ashes in the flames.
18:01Then don't be him.
18:04I'm right here.
18:06I'm not afraid.
18:08Her kindness is a trap.
18:09If I let her stay close, I will lose control and kill her.
18:14If I can't make her leave, I'll make her wish she had never stayed.
18:23You want to save me?
18:25I'll make you regret every heartbeat you spend in this castle.
18:29Noah, what are you doing?
18:32Kindness is meaningless to a monster, Eileen.
18:36Since you've chosen this fate, I will lock you away and show you the true power of the dragon.
18:41I will break you before the curse does.
18:56From the Comics
18:58You
18:58You
18:58You
19:18Noah, let me go! Why are you doing this?
19:21The humans and the serpent clan. They are coming for my head. I need the dragon's power to kill them.
19:29Then let me help you. Don't lock me away like a prisoner.
19:34You don't understand. The more I stay a dragon, the less I can control the hunger for you.
19:40Wally!
19:43Keep your pet quiet, or I'll feed him to the storm.
19:48You're becoming a monster before the battle even begins.
19:57Stay alive. Even if you hate me.
20:04So, she likes it rough. A little Fost pay to keep the marriage spicy?
20:11Eileen, you're getting more and more to my taste.
20:17I can't wait to see you scream in my chairs.
20:22The king thinks I'm his savior. He actually believes I'll help him rescue you, his daughter, for free.
20:29Foolish old man.
20:30I will use the human army as bait to lure the dragon into my curse formation.
20:39Once the beast is trapped, I will swallow the empire and the sky-hassle in one bite.
20:48And you, Eileen, you are the ultimate key.
20:52You are the dragon's heart and the human princess.
20:56By making you my bride, I won't just be a king.
21:03I will be the god of the three realms.
21:07Your scream will be my victory song.
21:19I brought some food from the human realm.
21:21The kind you used to like.
21:23I don't want your cakes.
21:25I want my freedom.
21:27Freedom?
21:27To run back to that traitor, Leon?
21:30Or to be eaten by the serpents?
21:33That is my home.
21:35I won't die.
21:36Don't you understand yet?
21:38You are just a disposable pawn.
21:41They can sacrifice at any moment.
21:43You have no home anymore.
21:45Your freedom is to stay right here and live.
21:51Noah, are you okay?
21:53Stop hurting yourself.
21:55I'm trying to keep you safe.
22:00Why can't you just obey me?
22:03Because I'm your woman, not your trophy.
22:05Fight the beast, Noah.
22:07Don't let it win.
22:22Stay back.
22:24The dragon, it wants to tear you apart and consume you.
22:27No, Noah.
22:28Look at me.
22:29Not with the dragon's eyes, but with yours.
22:32It's too late.
22:33The scent of your blood, it's calling to the beast.
22:36Then listen to this.
22:38This is a human heart.
22:40If you want me, you have to find your own again.
22:47Why?
22:48Why don't you run?
22:49I'm a monster, Eileen.
22:50A monster wouldn't try this hard to protect me from himself.
23:14There are thousands of them.
23:16Leon and Silas.
23:18They've actually come.
23:20They don't come for you, Eileen.
23:22They come for the power they think I possess.
23:24Noah, please.
23:26Don't let the dragon take over again.
23:28I don't need the dragon for these ants.
23:30Watch.
23:36It's a slaughter.
23:40They never stood a chance.
23:42Not all of them.
23:44One rat survived.
23:51Look at you, Noah.
23:53Playing house with a human girl while your kingdom burns.
23:58You're lucky the storm hasn't ripped your tongue out yet, Silas.
24:01Oh, but you should thank me.
24:03Do you even know who you're protecting?
24:06I'm nothing to you, Simus.
24:07Leave us alone.
24:08Nothing.
24:09You're the secret daughter of the High King.
24:11The blood of the very man who hunted Noah's father to death.
24:17Is it true?
24:19You carry the blood of my father's murderer?
24:22I didn't know.
24:23Noah, I never knew.
24:26She's the bait dragon.
24:28And you fell for him.
24:44Duke, my love, save me!
24:53I was so small.
24:56So full of hate.
24:58I jumped from this very ledge, wishing for death.
25:05The man who killed my father, he did it for Maya.
25:08You have her eyes.
25:10Tell me the truth!
25:12Maya was my mother, but I am not Duke's blood.
25:15I am the child of her shame, not his crown!
25:21Look at her, the king's pure little bird.
25:25Don't you want to see what happens when you clip her wings?
25:29And what do I get in return, my queen?
25:32Let your guards defile her.
25:34Make her your vessel.
25:36Do this, and I am yours.
25:51No!
25:57Duke, please.
26:00She has my eyes.
26:01She is innocent.
26:03Don't, don't let them kill her.
26:05Innocent, she is the living proof that you were touched by those snakes.
26:10Just let her live as a servant.
26:13Anything.
26:15This is the serpent's filth.
26:17You are my greatest shame.
26:19You are a curse I must keep in the shadows.
26:27Noah, look at you, guarding a woman who was born in my people's fifth.
26:32Does she smell like the snake pit yet?
26:36I will rip the tongue out of your head, Silas!
26:39She is mine!
26:41Enjoy the leftovers, dragon.
26:43When I'm done, this castle becomes my nest.
26:47And Eileen, she'll finally come home to the snakes.
27:02Attack!
27:03Kill the dragon!
27:05Bring me the girl alive!
27:06I'm safe!
27:46Your heart belongs to me now, Noah.
27:50Noah! Get up!
27:53Don't let him take you!
28:05I will tear you into bloody pieces!
28:10Get out of my reel!
28:15Impressive, Noah. You burned half your life force just to kill a... shadow.
28:20No! No! A shadow?
28:24I am everywhere. And I am nowhere.
28:29If a mere projection could break your wings, imagine what I will do when I arrive in person.
28:36Next time it won't be a test. It will be your funeral.
28:43And Eileen will finally have a real king.
28:50Noah! No, please, my lord, don't die!
28:53Don't leave me alone in this darkness!
29:06Noah, look at me. His words are just poison. I am here. I am not going anywhere.
29:12I should have burned them all! I'm still a monster to them. And maybe to you, too.
29:17No. You are the man who saved me.
29:21But if you keep acting like a beast, you're just giving them what they want.
29:30And what do you want, Eileen?
29:33I want a husband. Not a weapon.
29:38Learn to control the fire inside, Noah.
29:41If you want me to stay, show me you can be more than just a dragon.
29:54How is she still alive?
30:00That servant should be dragon beat.
30:02Simus, go get her.
30:04Bring her back so I can make her pay myself.
30:08Did I hear a command, Wickie?
30:11I... I am the princess!
30:14You are my fiancรฉe!
30:16You are nothing but a pawn for this alliance.
30:19Don't mistake a snake's patience for loyalty.
30:28I'll bring the dragon back.
30:30But the girl...
30:31She belongs to me now.
30:35A pawn?
30:37You think I'm just a piece on your board?
30:40I am the blood of the Empire.
30:43If Silas wants that servant so badly, he can have her cause.
30:48I'll burn the Sky Castle to the ground before I let her take my throne.
30:52Or my man!
30:54You want to see her scream, Silas?
31:00I'll make sure she's screaming for mercy when she meets her end.
31:09Too hard, Noah.
31:10You're trying to touch me, not crush a stone.
31:13Again.
31:15This is ridiculous.
31:17My claws are for killing, not for stroking skin.
31:22If you want to be with me, you have to learn.
31:25Softly, like a breeze.
31:27Is this...
31:28What humans call gentle?
31:31Yes.
31:32And try not to singe my hair with your breath next time.
31:38You are a very demanding bride, Eileen.
31:47And I have kept my promise.
31:49I am listening to you now.
31:51But Eileen, I need you to feel my world too.
31:55Not just the one you imagined, but the one I truly live in.
31:59You must see the sky through a dragon's eyes.
32:02Not just a prisoner's.
32:06Noah, the heights...
32:09They remind me of the storm.
32:11Of the way you grabbed me in the darkness.
32:13I'm afraid of that power.
32:18The storm is only one side of me.
32:20Humans fear the wind because it can tear down houses.
32:23But they forget it's the same wind that carries a bird home.
32:28It sounds so violent.
32:30It feels like it's screaming.
32:32Listen closer.
32:33If you don't fight it, the wind becomes a cradle.
32:39Close your eyes, Eileen.
32:41Trust me.
32:42I want to show you the world not as a battlefield, but as a masterpiece.
32:50Noah!
32:51We're going too fast!
32:53Please, put me down!
32:55Open your eyes, Eileen!
32:56Look at what it means to be a dragon!
33:07It's beautiful!
33:10The world looks so small from here.
33:12The humans only see the storm.
33:15They never look high enough to see the peace above it.
33:21I'm not afraid anymore.
33:22With you, I feel...
33:24free.
33:25Then stay here.
33:27Be the only light in my endless sky.
33:44Eileen, there is a reason I haven't...
33:46claimed you yet.
33:47I thought...
33:49you were just trying to be human for me.
33:51It's more than that.
33:52To truly stabilize my power,
33:54we must perform the great rule of the dragons.
33:56A wedding?
33:57A soulbinding.
33:58Our hearts must beat as one during the union.
34:00Only then will the beast truly submit to my will.
34:03You mean...
34:05if we don't do this,
34:07you'll never be able to control the dragon?
34:09If I don't, I will eventually lose my mind.
34:11But I won't force you.
34:13Show me the way, Noah.
34:14I want to be your bride.
34:25A hundred years of darkness.
34:27I thought that's all I deserved.
34:29Anger kept me alive.
34:32I figured one day it'd swallow me whole.
34:34I was just...
34:35waiting to die.
34:37My whole life,
34:38I've been invisible.
34:40No one wanted me in that palace.
34:42I was a shadow with no name.
34:45A servant.
34:47Until...
34:48You were never invisible to me.
34:50The moment you stepped onto that sacrificial ship,
34:54you became the only place I could breathe.
34:57A human heart.
34:58Taught the beast how to feel.
35:02Then let the girl with no home find one in your arms.
35:06I don't need a palace, Noah.
35:08I just need you.
35:10Everything else, I can learn.
35:14This is my vow.
35:16As long as the sky remains and the dragon fire burns,
35:20you are no servant.
35:22You are the only queen of the sky.
35:26Aylan, will you bind your soul to mine?
35:29Through blood and breath,
35:31through fire and eternity?
35:33Yes.
35:34A thousand times yes.
35:35I choose you, Noah.
35:37In this life,
35:38and every life that follows.
35:49Noah, just now...
35:52What is it?
35:54Nothing.
35:55Maybe my eyes were just bluttered by tears.
36:06It's on, finally.
36:08Enjoy the wedding gift I've given you both.
36:16My ancestors used this altar to shackle their brides,
36:20to force a union,
36:21but I have cleared the blood of the past.
36:24Today, this place will witness a union of choice.
36:29Does the ceremony scare you, Noah?
36:31I can feel your heart racing.
36:33It scares me that I might fail you.
36:36The ritual will drop my barriers.
36:38For one hour, I will be as vulnerable as a human child.
36:41But it is the only way to kill the beast inside me,
36:44and become the man you deserve.
36:45You are already that man, Noah.
36:48You are already that man, Noah.
36:48The beast is just a shadow.
36:50Don't do this for the ritual.
36:52Do it for us.
36:59I will give you a wedding that the legends will sing about.
37:01A wedding where the dragon finally finds his peace.
37:05And the girl finally finds her throne.
37:15That's strange.
37:17Huh?
37:19Maybe I'm just too excited.
37:21My heart...
37:22It feels like it's beating incorrectly.
37:25Mine too.
37:26For a hundred years,
37:27it's the first time my heart has raced like this.
37:32Beat away, little bride.
37:34When your heartbeat sinks with mine,
37:36you will know who your true master is.
37:39Yes, there is.
37:43Shh.
37:44Is he coming?
37:48Close call.
37:50We have to finish this tonight, Ollie.
37:54Tomorrow, I want to see the dragon king's eyes
37:57when he realizes he's no longer alone.
38:04Am I just too tired?
38:07It's nothing.
38:08Maybe it's just the moonlight.
