Short filmTranscript
00:00All elves. Nine years before, Mom saved Dad. Pregnant, she was abused by Darkwood Elf Bandits for three days and
00:06nights.
00:07My dad wanted to save face with the elves.
00:10He locked Mom in a lightless withered woods.
00:13Just one night, my mom went from the Silvermoon's top priest to a whore.
00:17And I was a stain on the clan. But Mom survived, for me.
00:20I grew up in the Deadwood Forest. For me, this is just a cold, magicless prison.
00:25Suddenly the door kicks open.
00:28Why are you slacking off again? A whore and a brat. Why aren't you dead yet?
00:34They hate us and take it out on us nonstop. A thorny whip strikes my mother's back.
00:39Blood soaks through her rags. She held me tight, looking at Mom's bloody body.
00:43Hate is growing inside me. I will make them pay in blood.
00:47My dad's the Silvermoon. My father never even looked at us.
00:51My mom and I had a nightmare for eight years.
00:53He left two cruel servants to torture us every day.
00:56Mom's wounds never healed. The skin was all rotten.
00:59Mom used her last bit of magic to hide me.
01:02She told me to stay quiet, but I couldn't.
01:04One night, I hid under the guard's bed. I heard them whispering in the dark.
01:08The second wife wants them dead.
01:11The sage didn't say a word.
01:12My heart turned to ice.
01:14My father wasn't just ignoring us. He was letting this happen.
01:19I heard everything.
01:20I told Mom the truth, but she just cried.
01:23Just keep learning, Leah. It's the only way.
01:26But I'm done waiting. I snuck onto a carriage to the Holy City.
01:30I want to live. I want Mom to live freely.
01:32My father never-
01:34The Holy City, lit from the clouds.
01:36It's made of glowing moonlight crystals.
01:38It's beautiful.
01:40But for me, it's a nightmare.
01:42I'm standing at the palace gates in rags.
01:45My face is covered in dark ash.
01:47Suddenly, a guard slams me to the ground.
01:50Get lost, you filthy wood elf!
01:53Then I see a crystal carriage approaching.
01:56It's him.
01:57My dad, Thranduil.
01:58Next to him is a little girl, Livia.
02:01My dad's kid with his second wife.
02:03Struggling to stand, I scream.
02:05Father!
02:07He looks at me with pure disgust.
02:09He flicks his wrist and blasts me.
02:11Where'd this trash come from?
02:13Why aren't you dead yet?
02:15Don't let her ruin Livia's day.
02:17Livia looks at me.
02:18Father, who is she?
02:20A half-breed elf, baby.
02:22He smiles.
02:23He gives her the love I never had.
02:26Livia is a seven-year-old prodigy.
02:28I'm my father's greatest shame.
02:30But I'm a silver moon elf, too.
02:32Why does everyone think I'm a lowly wood elf?
02:35The Holy City.
02:36Back in the dead forest, I learned one thing.
02:38Tears get you nowhere.
02:40I stopped crying.
02:41As a silver moon elf, I mastered my mother's nature magic.
02:45I learned to strangle clay with a vine.
02:48But my mother was terrified of me.
02:50She made me stay dirty to hide my beauty.
02:52She hid my silver hair and silver eyes.
02:55Those are the marks of elven royalty.
02:57If dad's second wife finds me, I'm dead.
03:00On my 16th birthday, everything changed.
03:02Mom went to the Holy City for half a day.
03:05When she came back, she looked broken.
03:07She didn't say a word to me.
03:08She just started teaching me everything.
03:11Royal manners.
03:12High level skills.
03:14Art.
03:15She doesn't have much time left.
03:17I held her and begged,
03:18Mom, what happened?
03:19She just cried in my arms.
03:21Her tears smelled like fresh plants.
03:23The rare, healing tears of a priestess.
03:25A few months later, she was gone.
03:28She didn't just die.
03:29She faded away.
03:30Back in the dead.
03:31Her corpse turned to green dove, melting into the weeds.
03:35Next to it was a goodbye note.
03:37It said she felt too guilty to live.
03:39I didn't believe a single word of it.
03:42My mother was a fighter.
03:43She would never just give up.
03:45I tried to get help, got knocked out fast.
03:48I woke up to my aunt's cruel love.
03:50Your mother made a deal, and she traded her life for your marriage.
03:55A crippled blacksmith is waiting for you.
03:58They tied me with vines, thought I couldn't escape, then laughed and left.
04:02Next second, the vines turned to ash.
04:05Late at night, I carry Mom's spirit tablet on my back.
04:09I use moonlight to trap the whole forest environment.
04:12I vanished into the dark woods.
04:14I'm going to the home city.
04:16I'm gonna face my cold dad, Thranduil.
04:19And I'm going to get Joseph.
04:22Corpse-
04:23Suns up, royal cities glowing.
04:25My sister Livia becomes holy maiden today.
04:28Highest honor ever.
04:30Everyone is cheering.
04:31My father, Thranduil, is laughing.
04:34Chowing gifts everywhere.
04:36I'm standing in the crowd.
04:37Carrying Mom's spirit tablet.
04:39To my dad.
04:40Mom's death.
04:41It's just a bonus.
04:42Flower petals are falling.
04:44They feel like ice on my skin.
04:46I don't want their celebration.
04:48I want justice.
04:49I walk away from the palace.
04:51To the pavilion of curiosities.
04:53Most dangerous auction house.
04:55I met the owner.
04:56Eyes sharp as a hawk.
04:58I dropped a rare leaf on his desk.
05:00I'm not here to buy.
05:01I'm here to sell.
05:03Starting price?
05:05500,000 magic crystals.
05:07He laughs.
05:08We don't sell people here.
05:10I am the eldest daughter of the great sage, the holy maiden's sister.
05:14My mom died in a cage while my father watched.
05:19I am selling my soul and my freedom to give her a proper burial.
05:24The owner goes silent.
05:25Then he nodded.
05:27Three days, I tell him.
05:29To every corner of the city.
05:30Tell the temple.
05:31Tell the king.
05:32And no matter who comes.
05:34Do not stop the auction.
05:36Morin smirks.
05:37You're picking a fight with the arp sage.
05:39Sun's up.
05:40Word spread fast.
05:41I'm selling myself to bury my mom.
05:44Word got out about how mom saved dad.
05:47The whole city is whispering.
05:49My father is a trader.
05:51He betrayed my mother.
05:52I am the rightful heir.
05:55His golden child is a fraud.
05:58Thranduil was freaking out.
05:59He stormed in with his guards.
06:02Hand over that brat!
06:04But Morin helped me hide.
06:06Hidden from a magic portal.
06:09He left empty handed.
06:11But the drama didn't stop.
06:13The king ignored my sister on her first day serving him.
06:16The lunar temple is watching.
06:19I just smiled.
06:20This is only the beginning.
06:22Three days later.
06:23The auction.
06:24The room was packed.
06:25I stepped onto the stage.
06:27Silver hair.
06:28Silver eyes.
06:29I let them all stare.
06:31My father's face turned purple.
06:34Starting bid.
06:35200,000 crystals.
06:37He stood up and threatened everyone.
06:40I'm her father.
06:42I pay the minimum.
06:49Don't you dare outbid me.
06:52Word spread.
06:53I held up the paper.
06:54I looked Thranduil in the eye.
06:56The winner is Sage Thrangorn.
06:58The bid.
06:59500,000 magic crystals.
07:02Thranduil froze.
07:03He stood up to argue.
07:05But I didn't give him a chance.
07:08490,000.
07:09Only a 10,000 difference.
07:11A great sage won't mind, right?
07:13He looked like he was choking.
07:15If someone else bought me,
07:17he'd lose his face.
07:19And his power.
07:20He handed over the money.
07:22His face turned bitter red.
07:24I grabbed the crystals.
07:26I ignored his reaching hand.
07:28I turned to the royal box.
07:30I am Leah Moonstream.
07:31I'm dating this to the army
07:33and this memory crystal for the king.
07:35I only ask for one thing.
07:37To serve the moon goddess.
07:39I held up the paper.
07:40A smooth voice from the VIP balcony asks.
07:44What kind of treasure is this?
07:46I don't say a word.
07:47I just pull out a glowing crystal.
07:50It's proof of all the official's bribes.
07:53The new king is broke.
07:55The borders are under attack.
07:58The treasury is empty.
08:00The politicians say they have no money.
08:03Yet here they are,
08:04spending millions to buy me at an auction.
08:07I hand the crystal to the king's servant.
08:09Minutes later, he walks out with a decree.
08:13By order of the king,
08:15Leah is now the holy priestess.
08:18She enters the palace today.
08:21I won.
08:22I'm officially untouchable.
08:24My father is shaking with rage.
08:27He screams.
08:28You're disgusting!
08:30Just like your mother!
08:31I just smile.
08:32Careful father.
08:34Everyone is watching.
08:34Since I'm a priestess now,
08:36I'll be needing my dowry back.
08:38And everything you stole from my mom.
08:40You wouldn't want to look like a thief.
08:42Would you?
08:43A smooth Thranduil was furious.
08:46But he couldn't stop me.
08:48He froze me with magic on his way out.
08:51Leah, don't mess with me.
08:53I'll tell everyone how Darkwood Elves defiled your mom!
08:56I glared at him, ready to rip him apart.
08:59He loved my reaction.
09:01He straight up admitted he paid the Darkwood Elves to hurt mom.
09:04Because my mom's family was way too powerful,
09:07he couldn't stand it.
09:09So it was all his plan.
09:11I stared daggers at his back.
09:13I'll make him pay dearly.
09:17I swept into the palace in triumph.
09:20First thing I did, donated all his money.
09:23I only kept my mother's legacy,
09:25her broken scepter,
09:26and her secret magic mix.
09:29The king loved my generosity.
09:31He showered me with jewels.
09:33I told the head manager,
09:35Give me the smart servants.
09:37They can spy on the king.
09:39Or even for the queen.
09:40But if they work for Livia,
09:42you're a dead man.
09:44He turned pale.
09:45I got exactly what I wanted.
09:47Day one at the queen's court.
09:49The room was packed.
09:51There was Livia.
09:53Dressed in her fancy saintess robes.
09:56She tried to shame me.
09:57You have no dignity.
09:58She sneered.
10:00Our mother just died.
10:01And you're selling yourself...
10:04for power?
10:05The room went silent.
10:08I just smiled.
10:09Listen, Livia.
10:10Mum died three days ago.
10:12And you already snatched her title.
10:15If you can play this game,
10:17why can't I serve the moon?
10:19Your mother was just a mistress.
10:22You're second class, Livia.
10:24Livia.
10:25So why are you in that seat?
10:27She's shaking with rage.
10:29Livia screams.
10:30You...
10:31Enough!
10:32Leia.
10:32Go rest now.
10:34I walk out.
10:35I feel Livia's eyes burning my back.
10:38That night, King Caelan entered my room.
10:40His face is calm, but his eyes are ice cold.
10:44He says...
10:45Thrangon wants you in the eternal prison.
10:48I poured him tea and smiled.
10:49But you said no.
10:51Oh?
10:51He asks.
10:52Why are you so sure?
10:53Because you're the king.
10:55You don't take orders.
10:56If he pushes you today, he'll take your throne tomorrow.
11:00Yeah.
11:00Caelan laughs.
11:02If you were a man, you'd be my general.
11:05Suddenly, I see a flash of murder in his eyes.
11:08He hates how smart I am.
11:11I have to move fast.
11:12Let's make a deal.
11:14Let's make a deal.
11:15I'll help you crush him.
11:15Just let me go home to the forest afterward.
11:18He thinks for a second, then nods.
11:21Show me.
11:21For three days, the king never leaves my side.
11:24The palace is gossiping.
11:27Livia is losing her mind.
11:28Then the news breaks.
11:30Thranduil shamed my mother.
11:32He stripped her titles and banned her from the tombs.
11:34I just laugh.
11:35My mother doesn't need their graves.
11:37Summon Thrangle to the palace.
11:39Now.
11:40I tell the king.
11:41He hesitates.
11:42I lean in close.
11:43Do this, and I'll break his alliance for you.
11:47The trap is set.
11:49Thranduil struts in with Liliana.
11:52He thinks he's the king.
11:54Everyone is bowing to them.
11:57Then, they see me.
11:59I'm sitting on the high throne.
12:01I'm totally calm.
12:03Thranduil looks pissed.
12:05Liliana is looking down at me.
12:06I speak first.
12:08Greetings to the great sage.
12:10And his little wife.
12:12He hates this.
12:13Thranduil freezes.
12:14He hates this.
12:15He grits his teeth and bows.
12:18Greetings, priestess.
12:21Liliana bows too.
12:22Looking miserable.
12:25I pull out my mother's soul plate.
12:28I place it on the table.
12:30Now, they are bowing to her spirit.
12:32Thranduil turns pale.
12:33Lea moon crossed.
12:35How dare you!
12:37Liliana screams at me.
12:39You make him bow to that trash.
12:42She doesn't deserve it.
12:43I don't even flinch.
12:44My mother was the high priestess.
12:47And you?
12:49You're just a side piece.
12:51How dare you talk back to me.
12:53I look at the guards.
12:55Slap her 30 times.
12:57Thranduil steps in front.
12:59Who dares touch her?!
13:01The servants are too scared.
13:04Liliana gives me a smug smile.
13:05She thinks she won.
13:07I get up and walk to her.
13:09Bam!
13:09I slap her so hard she spins.
13:12I dare!
13:14Thranduil raised his hand and hit me.
13:16I didn't flinch.
13:17I just stared him down.
13:18Think twice, Great Saraj.
13:20I said.
13:21Hit me!
13:22And you're hitting the temple.
13:23Your reputation will be trashed forever.
13:26His hand froze.
13:28He was shaking with rage.
13:29But he backed down.
13:30Then, I turned and slapped Liliana.
13:33She hit the floor, bleeding from her mouth.
13:35Thrangian.
13:37You killed my mother.
13:39Now this is a war to death.
13:41That night, the Queen took me to a temple.
13:44She sighed.
13:45Put your mother's memorial here.
13:47The Emperor has to punish you for the scene.
13:49I'll punish you by making you copy all the lunar laws.
13:53Why are you helping me?
13:54She smiled.
13:55Because I see a spark in you.
13:57I followed the rules my whole life.
14:01But you?
14:03You actually have a choice.
14:06While I was doing my time, Livia was freaking out.
14:09She tried everything to get the King's attention.
14:14Soup, snacks and accidental garden meetings.
14:19But Caden didn't care.
14:21He never visited her.
14:23So she got desperate.
14:25One night, her maid came running and crying.
14:27Help!
14:28Livia's unconscious!
14:30She's calling for the King!
14:31Caden had no choice but to go.
14:37I waited fifteen minutes, then grabbed a royal healer.
14:41I found Livia in bed, clutching Caden's sleeve.
14:44When she saw me, her eyes turned cold.
14:48I just smiled.
14:50I heard you were sick, sister.
14:54So I brought a professional doctor.
14:57The King can't heal a fever, can he?
15:00Livia hugged him tighter.
15:02I'm just scared.
15:04I only need the King by my side.
15:06The maid cried out.
15:07It's dark magic!
15:09Only the King's moon power can save her!
15:12Everyone fell to their knees.
15:15Livia faked some tears.
15:17It was a pathetic performance.
15:19I laughed out loud.
15:21Oh!
15:21You need moon power?
15:23There's no better place than the great temple.
15:26Guards!
15:27Carry her to the temple gates.
15:29Let the moon slusker wash that magic away.
15:32Liliana looked at the King, all helpless, begging for help.
15:37While I was asleep, but the King stood up cold and walked over to me.
15:43Liliana screamed in despair.
15:45The guards dragged her out while she screamed.
15:48The temple gates are freezing.
15:50The magic stings like ice.
15:53She shivered in the cold, but no one helped.
15:56After all, I was just saving her.
16:00When Liliana heard the news, she finally panicked.
16:06She just ordered her mate to assassinate me.
16:10That's exactly what I wanted.
16:12I made myself an easy target.
16:15Every day, I go to the garden alone.
16:18By day five, my spies confirmed it.
16:21They're finally taking the bait.
16:25Mother, watch over me.
16:33I walk slowly toward the rocks.
16:37Suddenly, a shadow leaps out.
16:39A black dagger flies at my heart.
16:42I screamed,
16:43Help!
16:45But the...
16:46I'm ready, but I don't move.
16:48I let the blade slash my arm.
16:50It burns.
16:52But I'm smiling.
16:54The wound has to be real.
16:56The evidence must be written in blood.
16:58My guards swarm in and tackle him.
17:01It's over.
17:01We found every single spy.
17:04Killing a priestess is a death sentence.
17:07The arrests happen instantly.
17:10Liliana's magic is gone forever.
17:13Thranduil is exiled to the ice.
17:17And Livia?
17:19Locked up for life.
17:22The traitors are gone.
17:24I won.
17:26I'm ready.
17:27Thranduil has finally fallen.
17:30His empire is gone.
17:32His followers vanished.
17:34The council gave the verdict.
17:37Liliana's magic is stripped away.
17:40His daughter is jailed for life.
17:42And Thranduil vanished to the frozen north.
17:47I went to the dungeon.
17:48The great sage was gone.
17:50He was covered in dirt.
17:52Just the man in rags.
17:54He sneered at me.
17:56Are you sad I'm alive?
17:58I looked at him in the eye.
18:00You chased power your whole life.
18:03Now, everyone hates you.
18:05That is the perfect torture.
18:09Then, he lost his mind.
18:11He started screaming.
18:13He called my mother's names.
18:15He called her a slut.
18:17He said she deserved to die.
18:20I didn't argue.
18:21I just used my magic.
18:24Thick vines wrapped his throat.
18:27I squeezed the life out of him.
18:30Apologize to my mother.
18:32Do it now.
18:33Or you die.
18:34The sage turned coward.
18:37He started sobbing for mercy.
18:40I'm sorry.
18:41Please. I'm sorry.
18:43I looked at him, trembling like a rat.
18:46Then, I just walked away.
18:48Some people never learn.
18:50He isn't worth my time anymore.
18:53Then, the word from the palace is out.
18:56The lunar priestess, Leia, is dead.
18:59They say an attack and her own magic killed her.
19:03But I'm still standing.
19:05With Caelan's help, I faked my death.
19:07I made it out.
19:09I'm finally free.
19:11I stood at the edge of the woods.
19:16I held my mother's soul charm tight.
19:20Mom, we're finally free.
19:21I whispered.
19:22Thranduil kept you trapped your whole life.
19:25But now, I'm taking you to see the world.
19:27The sun finally broke through the mist.
19:30I'm leaving 16 years of pain behind.
19:33The past is gone.
19:35The future finally belongs to us.
19:37You're my search breathing.
19:37You'll never hear the same thing.
19:37What shows you playing Whale...
19:37The second time.
