Short filmTranscript
00:12Tomorrow is my 18th birthday. I can finally leave this place for good and live with my knight, my fiancé
00:18Leon, forever.
00:23Damn, you're getting better and better at this.
00:26I only have your highness's training. I'm nothing but your loyal weapon from battlefield to bed chain.
00:33Leon, how could you do this to me? Tomorrow is the day you're supposed to come and take me as
00:39your bride. I've been waiting for this since I was ten.
00:45You're really willing to let your fiancé marry that evil dragon who feasts on brides and feel nothing at all?
00:51She's only the king's bastard after all. Being able to spare you and her majesty the burden by sending her
00:57in your place.
00:58And if he rip us her before he kills her?
01:02Then her sacrifice will be even more meaningful. Her blood will buy the kingdom at least ten years of peace.
01:08It's the best deal we could ask for.
01:27Eileen, you're not going anywhere. Come with me. We have a wedding to prepare.
01:31What's the point of preparing for a wedding? Wouldn't it be simpler to just kill me now?
01:37How could we do that? You're the princess.
01:40I never imagined that the freedom I've waited eighteen years for would end like this.
01:45Because you're the filthy little snake blood half-breed father could never stand the sight of.
01:50Eileen, mind your tongue around the princess.
01:54Guards, take her. Lock her in the water dungeon.
02:01Every ten years, the Empire must offer ten brides to the Dragon King.
02:07Otherwise, dragon fire will rain down and burn our towns to ash.
02:12This year will be different. I only want one of you. The rest may live.
02:20My patience is running out. Otherwise, you all die.
02:26Ten. Nine.
02:28Even if I live, what then?
02:30I've never had a family who loved me.
02:33I've been a walking corpse for years, but they're different.
02:38They still have family's lovers waiting for them.
02:51Eileen!
02:53Eileen, farewell.
02:55I'm sorry, Maya. I swore I'd take good care of her, but I had no choice.
02:59If I didn't do this, the people would revolt and the kingdom would fall.
03:04You're still thinking about that shameless woman?
03:06She was the one who couldn't keep her legs shut.
03:09Cheated on you with the snake folk, and that's how that little snake blood half-breed came to be.
03:13Trading her for ten years peace is a bargain.
03:16You, on the other hand, should be worrying about your own daughter.
03:19Wickie is already eighteen.
03:21Prince Silmus of the Serpent Clan.
03:22May his magic truly protect Wickie and this kingdom.
03:27A wise decision, my king.
03:29I'll go make the marriage arrangements.
03:32You pathetic old fool.
03:34This crown should have been mine long ago.
03:42Who are you?
03:44Are you a dragon too?
03:46You don't bite, do you?
03:47Can I pet you?
03:49Don't touch it.
03:50That's the fierce beast of the Sky Castle, its guardian.
03:54My lord, I offered myself willingly as your bride.
03:58You can eat me if you must.
04:00Just spare the innocent commoners.
04:02In the eyes of you foolish humans, I'm nothing but a man-eating monster, am I?
04:10I don't know if you eat people or not, but...
04:14I'm hungry!
04:16I need food!
04:17Otherwise I'll starve to death here!
04:20There is no food in the Sky Castle.
04:23Drink some Sky Water and you'll feel full.
04:35Students try to blow into the Sky Castle.
04:40Oh my lord.

14:48is
14:48is
14:48is
14:53NOAH! NOAH! STOP! YOU'RE HURTING ME! PLEASE!
15:12NOAH, WHY DID YOU BRING ME HERE THE WIND IT FEELS LIKE IT'S SCREAMING
15:19It's not the wind. It's the ghosts of my kind. Look at this cliff, Eileen.
15:25What happened here?
15:27Ten years ago, I watched my father die, pierced by human spears. I was so small, so full of hate.
15:38I jumped from this very ledge, waiting for death.
15:46But you survived.
15:52I didn't just survive. I changed. At that moment, I became the last dragon on Earth.
16:14Stop! I can hear them! The women crying!
16:18That is the legacy of my ancestors. They sang the dragon song to lure girls like you.
16:24Why? Just to kill them?
16:27To survive. To breed. But no human girl could survive the hatching of a dragon egg.
16:38They died in agony. Their bodies. They literally burst from the inside.
16:48And the dragon fire. I saw it in my dreams.
16:54My ancestors burned them alive. Hoping the flames would save the eggs. It never worked.
17:06Now you know why I keep you at a distance. To touch you is to sentence you to death.
17:17He told me the truth. How every bride before me died. Burned and torn apart from the inside.
17:23I should be screaming, but all I see is a man drowning in a curse. I won't let him face
17:28it alone.
17:29Get away! Didn't you hear me? If you don't run, you'll be the next name carved into these stones!
17:36My inner beast has smelled your blood. It's begging me to tear you apart!
17:40Then why are you shaking? If you were just a beast, you wouldn't be suffering like this just to warn
17:46me.
17:54Because I refuse to be a monster like my father. I won't watch you turn to ashes in the flames.
18:00Then don't be him. I'm right here. I'm not afraid.
18:05Her kindness is a trap. If I let her stay close, I will lose control and kill her.
18:11If I can't make her leave, I'll make her wish she had never stayed.
18:21You want to save me? I'll make you regret every heartbeat you spend in this castle.
18:28Noah? What are you doing?
18:30Kindness is meaningless to a monster, Eileen.
18:33Since you've chosen this fate, I will lock you away and show you the true power of the dragon.
18:39I will break you before the curse does.
18:43I will break you before the curse does.
19:16Noah, let me go! Why are you doing this?
19:19The humans and the serpent clan. They are coming for my head. I need the dragon's power to kill them.
19:26Then let me help you. Don't lock me away like a prisoner.
19:31You don't understand. The more I stay a dragon, the less I can control the hunger for you.
19:38Wally!
19:41Keep your pet quiet, or I'll feed him to the storm.
19:46You're becoming a monster before the battle even begins.
19:55Stay alive. Even if you hate me.
20:02So, she likes it rough. A little Fost pay to keep the marriage spicy?
20:09Eileen, you're getting more and more to my taste.
20:15I can't wait to see you scream in my chairs.
20:19The king thinks I'm his savior.
20:22He actually believes I'll help him rescue you, his daughter, for free.
20:27Foolish old man, I will use the human army as bait to lure the dragon into my curse formation.
20:37Once the beast is trapped, I will swallow the empire and the sky hustle in one bite.
20:46And you, Eileen, you are the ultimate key.
20:50You are the dragon's heart and the human princess.
20:54By making you my bride, I won't just be a king.
21:01I will be the god of the three realms.
21:04Your scream will be my victory song.
21:16I brought some food from the human realm.
21:19The kind you used to like.
21:21I don't want your cakes.
21:23I want my freedom.
21:24Freedom? To run back to that traitor Leon? Or to be eaten by the serpents?
21:31That is my home! I won't die!
21:34Don't you understand yet? You are just a disposable pawn they can sacrifice at any moment!
21:41You have no home anymore! Your freedom is to stay right here and live!
21:49Noah, are you okay? Stop hurting yourself.
21:53I'm trying to keep you safe.
21:58Why can't you just obey me?!
22:00Because I'm your woman, not your trophy.
22:03Fight the beast, Noah. Don't let it win.
22:19Stay back.
22:21The dragon, it wants to tear you apart and consume you.
22:25No, Noah. Look at me. Not with the dragon's eyes, but with yours.
22:30It's too late. The scent of your blood, it's calling to the beast.
22:34Then listen to this. This is a human heart. If you want me, you have to find your own again.
22:45Why? Why don't you run? I'm a monster, Eileen.
22:48A monster wouldn't try this hard to protect me from himself.
23:12There are thousands of them. Leon and Silas. They've actually come.
23:18They don't come for you, Eileen. They come for the power they think I possess.
23:22Noah, please. Don't let the dragon take over again.
23:25I don't need the dragon for these ants. Watch.
23:34It's a slaughter.
23:38They never stood a chance.
23:40Not all of them. One rat survived.
23:49Look at you, Noah. Playing house with a human girl while your kingdom burns.
23:55You're lucky the storm hasn't ripped your tongue out yet, Silas.
23:59Oh, but you should thank me. Do you even know who you're protecting?
24:03I'm nothing to you, Silas. Leave us alone.
24:06Nothing. You're the secret daughter of the High King.
24:09The blood of the very man who hunted Noah's father to death.
24:15Is it true? You carry the blood of my father's murderer?
24:19I didn't know. Noah, I never knew.
24:22Ha, ha, ha, ha. She's the bait dragon, and you fell for him.
24:28Help!
24:35Duke! My love! Save me!
24:46I was so small.
24:54So full of hate.
24:55I jumped from this very ledge, wishing for death.
25:02The man who killed my father. He did it for Maya. You have her eyes.
25:08Tell me the truth!
25:10Maya was my mother, but I am not Duke's blood. I am the child of her shame, not his crown!
25:19Look at her, the king's pure little bird.
25:22Don't you want to see what happens when you clip her wings?
25:27And what do I get in return, my queen?
25:30Let your guards defile her. Make her your vessel. Do this, and I am yours.
25:35I am the girl's.
