Short filmTranscript
00:00The Spirit Order holds an investiture ceremony every decade.
00:04As noble heirs, we must forge a blood pact with guardian beasts from the far reaches.
00:10Only then can humanity hold the line in a world crawling with monsters.
00:15I'm Laura Thorne, the Grand Mentor's Reborn, and the last blood of the Fallen House Thorne.
00:20Seeing that regal, shimmering silvering griffin made me realize I'd been reborn.
00:27Just like before, the Grand Mentor hinted it would be mine to contract, but its sapphire eyes are full of
00:33contempt, refusing to bow despite its anti-magic color.
00:38Instead, it looks past me, gazing devotedly at my weak-blooded sister, Ayla.
00:44I knew exactly why, last life, I drained my inheritance for dragon crystals to boost its strength.
00:51I spent seven days alone in the forbidden forest, hunting spirit bears to make it a holy beast.
00:57And the result?
00:59While I fought in blood, it was secretly teaming up with Ayla.
01:03They eventually tore my chest open, claiming true love deserves freedom.
01:11Now, the griffin ignores me entirely, and bows to Ayla instead.
01:16The Grand Mentor looks awkward, and snaps at her.
01:20Your foundation is weak.
01:21You won't be able to control this beast in the long run.
01:25Ayla bit her lip, her voice small and timid.
01:29Sister, I know I am not qualified.
01:32Your bloodline is more stronger, since father says it is yours.
01:37I'll give it back right now.
01:39What a performance.
01:41Under everyone's stunned glares, I stride right up to her.
01:45I ignore the fawning griffin, and grab her intended beast, a half-dead little black dragon.
01:51I then announce to the crowd, I'm ditching the griffin for this little black dragon.
01:55The crowd erupts in laughter, thinking I've lost my mind.
01:58They think I am too blind to see the griffin's potential.
02:02Only I remember the horror.
02:04After the monster rifts opened in my last life, thousands of monsters flooded the city,
02:09and even the Grand Mentor prepared to flee.
02:12Then, this black dragon descended.
02:14As it took flight, it blotted out the stars and covered the entire city with its wings.
02:19Every bead of its wings could overturn armored cavalry for miles.
02:23Its eternal night swept across the field, dissolving thousands of beasts instantly.
02:28Before it, every other guardian beast collapsed like frightened birds.
02:34I slit my wrist and feed my ancestral blood to the little dragon.
02:39This time, without my resources, let's see how Aayla and her noble griffin handle the coming darkness.
02:53In the sanctuary, the Grand Mentor watches my blood drip, with pure disappointment.
03:00Since the griffin chose Aayla, and you want this useless dragon, I won't stop you.
03:06Let the ceremony begin.
03:08His scepter hits the floor, and the magic circle flares gold.
03:13Aayla rushes toward the griffin, eager to claim her prize.
03:17At the edge of the light, I feel a violent thundering in my chest, as the dragon swallows my blood.
03:24That's not a death rattle.
03:27It's the abyss waking in.
03:30The instant the contract sealed, the air started boiling.
03:34Stained glass shatters as a dark purple glow ripples from my feet, swallowing the sun.
03:40The sanctuary sinks into a strange midnight, with only the low growl of thunder.
03:45Aayla hugs the silver griffin and screams in excitement.
03:48Oh my god! Is this your power?
03:53You really are the holy beast!
03:55Everyone thinking the griffin caused this, looks at Aayla bathed in that miracle, with awe.
04:00But I see the truth. The griffin is cowering in the corner, shaking with fear.
04:05That is the raw terror of a lesser soul facing the ruler of the lost.
04:10Aayla's joy is short-lived.
04:12As the contract takes hold, the backlash begins.
04:16Her thin, tainted blood can't possibly sustain a beast, like the silvering griffin.
04:22The once-radiant griffin's feathers begin to wither before our eyes.
04:26But Aayla is too drunk on vanity, and the crowds worship to notice.
04:31She doesn't see her own skin turning pale, or the light fading from the griffin's eyes.
04:38She's too busy soaking in her stolen miracle.
04:41I watch the agitated beast with nothing but mockery.
04:46Ceremony over, I drag myself back to my attic, and pass out.
04:50The next morning, an unnatural wait wakes me up.
04:55My cramped bed feels even smaller, wrapped in someone else's aggressive presence.
05:00Morning light falls on a man's silhouette by the bed.
05:03Silver hair spills over a pale spine.
05:06His lean, muscular build looks like a lethal statue.
05:10Sensing my breath, he slowly turns around.
05:20He turns to face me.
05:22His beauty is predatory.
05:24His cold, gold-slid eyes make the air freeze.
05:27Even sitting, he radiates pure dominance.
05:30I bolt upright, hitting the cold wall, my heart racing.
05:33Who are you?
05:34And why the hell are you in my room?
05:37He stays put, lazily brushing his collar, his voice deep as the abyss.
05:43I am Azazel.
05:45Your black dragon.
05:46The pact burns in my chest, that soul-deep resonance tells me he's not lying.
05:52Before I can process this, the cathedral bell tower rings with a heavy crash.
05:58The shadow warrior had been torn monsters were breaching it.
06:01I toss him a cloak and push through my dizziness, bolting for the corridor.
06:06The streets are chaos as black mist seeps through the city walls.
06:10Aayla descends on her griffon, with its human form, Far Yen, standing beside her.
06:16She smugly hooks her arm through Far Yen's, eyeing my pale face.
06:21She's glowing with spite, while Far Yen is drowning in his own arrogance.
06:26He looks down on me, ready to show off his power to the crowd.
06:30But as he gathers light to strife, his smug face freezes into pure terror.
06:36Because Aayla is too weak to fuel him, the light in his hand dies like a flickering candle.
06:42With a desperate screech, Far Yen loses his human form and snaps back into a beast.
06:47Aayla hits the ground hard, her scream cut short.
06:51A beam of purple-black light erupts from behind me.
06:54That familiar, terrifyingly savage aura sweeps the area.
06:58I look up to see a massive, world-ending dragon smashing through the clouds.
07:09That was my dragon, Azazel.
07:11With one dive, his void breath fears the city's shadow and densely.
07:15Those arrogant monsters dissolve without a sound before him.
07:19As the light fades, Azazel shifts back into his human form.
07:24In his loose cloak, he appears silently by my side.
07:27The streets are a wreck.
07:29Guards are busy clearing the remaining mist.
07:33Aayla lies in the mud, glaring at the man beside me.
07:39I know that Jealous looked too well.
07:41She gave me the same one in my last life.
07:43She always despised the black dragon for its evil origins and its weak appearance.
07:49She didn't want a curse holding her back, so she jumped at the griffon.
07:53She never dreamed that the trash she threw away was a dragon that could erase shadow tides.
07:58Aayla wipes the mud off her face and forces a fake smile.
08:02She doesn't even glance at Faryen, who is twitching in pain behind her.
08:07She walks right up to us, her eyes hungrily scanning Azazel's face.
08:12Azazel ignores her completely.
08:15Seeing I'm unhurt, he pulls me close by the waist.
08:20Under everyone's stunned stairs, he takes me back to my cramped attic.
08:24I lean against his chest, feeling a terrifying power no human should possess.
08:30At dusk, the attic door was pushed open.
08:34Aayla is in a clean dress now, her eyes rimmed with red.
08:39She approaches, twisting her hem, tears falling before she even speaks.
08:45Sister, Faryen needs dragon crystals.
08:49Your ancestral house is worth a lot.
08:51Can you sell it for him?
08:54I lounge against the headboard, watching her with a cold smirk.
08:58She's the Grand Mentor's daughter, she's never wanted for anything.
09:02Now, to feed her beast, she won't ask her father for coming for a poor orphan.
09:08When I don't answer, she steps closer, her tone turning entitled.
09:12Sister, Faryen was originally meant for you.
09:15You can't just abandon him.
09:18Listen to that, how ridiculous.
09:21Last life, when I gave Faryen everything.
09:24She hated me for being in her way.
09:26Now that he's a burden, she suddenly remembers he belonged to me.
09:37I lazily trace the dragon pact on my wrist, and look up at her fake face.
09:42This life, if she thinks I'll be her stepping stone again, she is dreaming.
09:48I propped my chin in my hand, voice flat and cold.
09:52But you are the one it chose.
09:57You fought for it then.
09:59Now, you suddenly remember me.
10:02My words choke her.
10:04Her face turns pale, fingers gripping her skirt until her knuckles go white.
10:09She mouthed words, but couldn't spit out a single defense.
10:15In the end, crushed by Azazel's heavy dragon aura, she storms off with tear-rimmed eyes.
10:23Silence returns to the room, save for the faint crackling of the fireplace.
10:29Azazel ignores the little drama entirely, walking silently to the bedside.
10:34His dark gold-slit pupils glint with a dangerous light in the shadows.
10:39He reached out, long fingers, sharp knuckles, and brushed over my dust-stained sleeve.
10:46Then, he sat on the floor, without a word, his back against the bed frame.
10:51That raw, powerful presence fills the cramped room, giving me a rare sense of security.
10:58Late at night, thick clouds swallow the moonlight outside.
11:02I was struggling through a nightmare, when a sharp, frantic scratching wakes me.
11:07Then, a pulse of bloody gold light seeps through the window cracks, mixed with a griffin's cry.
11:14I threw on a cloak, got up, and pushed the window open.
11:20There is Far-Yen, the untouchable griffin, cowering pathetically in the shadows below.
11:26He can't even maintain his human form anymore.
11:29Backlash cracks spider across his skin.
11:32His silver hair is soaked in cold sweat.
11:34Hearing the window move, he snapped his head up.
11:38Those blue eyes, once too proud to even look at me, are now filled with desperate fleeting.
11:44He reaches out with blood-smeared hands to grab my skirt.
11:47His voice hoarse and hopeless.
11:50Laura, help me.
11:55Aayla's blood, it is corroding me.
12:03My fingertips skim the icy window frame.
12:06My heart doesn't even flicker.
12:08Last life.
12:09He and Aayla ripped my chest open, calling their betrayal true love.
12:14Now, with the bloodline backlash eating him alive, that obsession just looks pathetic.
12:20A faint ripple stirs the air behind me.
12:23Azazel's presence wraps around me, silent, cold, and dangerous.
12:26He lifted a finger, and a dull violet light swam down.
12:30Faryen is blasted away before he can even scream, crashing hard into the mud.
12:35Patrol guards arrive soon after, dragging him toward the sanctum like literal trash.
12:40I flick the window shut, sealing out the nauseating stench of his blood.
12:44Silence settled back over the room.
12:46Azazel draws back his power, but his aura feels noticeably heavy.
12:50He stands beside me, his gold pupils imming as if weighted by invisible shackles.
12:54He spoke under his breath, even with black dragon blood in his veins.
12:59His origin core was damaged.
13:01I understood, immediately.
13:02No wonder he is so restrained.
13:04No wonder every strike is held back.
13:07He wasn't weak.
13:08The seal just wasn't broken.
13:09He looked at my pale face, and added,
13:11You've lost too much blood.
13:13We both need the bone, eroding flower.
13:15Deep in the forbidden forest, grows the bone, eroding flower.
13:19It is the only thing that can rebuild a bloodline, and loosen the seal.
13:23I didn't hesitate.
13:24I set our departure for dawn the next day.
13:27Father's face tightened when he heard I am heading into the forest.
13:31But he also knew my condition couldn't wait, so he finally nodded.
13:34Just as I was about to leave, Aayla stumbled in, face ghost, white, trembling non-stop from the backlash.
13:41She has heard of my mission, and eavesdropped on the fact that Azazel and I are hurt.
13:45Blinded by hate, she took it as the perfect opportunity.
13:48So she dropped to her knees before father, begging to come with us.
13:52Father looked between us, and eventually agreed.
13:55As she bowed in thanks, I spot the small black vial hidden in her sleeve.
13:59It was Shadow Lure, a potion that draws monsters.
14:03Azazel and I exchanged a look, and we both know exactly what is coming.
14:07If she wanted to go, fine, let her come.
14:10This time, I'll make sure she walks right into her own death trap.
14:18Ancient trees blotted out the sky at the forest gate, where icy winds wailed like trapped beasts.
14:24Azazel walked right by my side.
14:27His dragon aura scared off any lurking beasts, keeping the path through.
14:32Behind us, Aayla propped up Faryen.
14:35Far Yen was a wreck.
14:36The backlash gnawed at his bones, until his human form faltered.
14:40Pale gold blood dripped from his fingers, staining the dirt.
14:44But Aayla ignored him.
14:46Instead, she stared viciously at me.
14:49The fog thickened as we pushed deeper.
14:51The mist clung like living tentacles, blinding our sight and senses.
14:55Even Azazel blurred in the eerie white haze.
14:59Aayla seized her chance and lit the forbidden shadow lure.
15:03It was a potion that could call in countless monsters.
15:06Azazel slowed down, his gold eyes flashing with mockery.
15:11He looked at me, silently asking for my lead.
15:14I smirked and signaled him to wait.
15:16The fog split us apart.
15:18A foul stench rose as dark shadows leaped from the mist.
15:22They were monsters, drawn by the lure.
15:25Suddenly, the fragile Aayla drove a poisoned blade toward my heart.
15:29Sister!
15:30You've been in my way long enough.
15:32Now you and the black dragon are both badly hurt.
15:36You are dead, for sure.
15:38Beside her, Farien's eyes were ash gray and vicious.
15:41He saw the coldness in my eyes and realized I would never feed him like I used to.
15:45So he forced out a seal of holy light to lock my limbs.
15:49Grinding through the backlash pain, he spat a curse.
15:52Laura, if you won't sustain me, then you deserve to live.
15:59I stood there watching them, a mocking curl lifting the corner of my mouth.
16:03They realized something wrong, but it was too late.
16:19The cold bite of steel never comes.
16:22The moment the shadow walker's stench and Aayla's blade reach me.
16:25A terrifying pressure explodes from the mist.
16:28Azazel stepped out of nothingness.
16:30He didn't even lift a hand, just a surge of dark violet energy from his body.
16:35And just like that, those high-tier monsters were wiped into dust.
16:39I snapped Farien's pathetic chains of light and wafted slowly toward the collapsed Aayla.
16:44I pinched a bit of lingering black ash, and under her terrified gaze, I spoke with ice in my voice.
16:51Using the Order's secret shadow lure.
16:54Aayla, you were going to face the tribunal's brand of justice.
16:58A tribunal judgment.
17:00If you didn't die, you would wish you had.
17:04Aayla's face drained to dead gray.
17:07Farien, seeing the game was up, tried one last desperate move, self-detonating his holy bloodline to take me out.
17:13Before he could even get close, Azazel gave a lazy flick, and Farien was tossed like a broken toy into
17:19a boulder.
17:20He lost all his power, turning into a heap of mangled flesh, whimpering in the mud like a dying dog.
17:26With no way out, Aayla's mask twisted into something hideous.
17:31She yanked another poison dagger from her sleeve, and lunged for my throat like a maniac.
17:36I swayed aside, dodging the flash of steel, and caught her wrist in a vice grip.
17:40The snap of her bone was music to my ears.
17:43One twist, and the dagger hit the dirt.
17:45I shoved her toward the lingering shadow remnants nearby.
17:49The shadows caught the scent of her bloodline and swarmed her, gnawing at her already broken body.
17:54Aayla screamed in agony.
17:55In a final act of desperation, she tore herself free and fell backward into the icy ravine.
18:01I stood at the edge and watched the freezing water swallow her whole.
18:05I felt nothing.
18:07A quick death would have been too kind.
18:09This slow despair suited her much better.
18:11I turned and headed for Blackstone Slope with Azazel,
18:15taking the flower while Farien watched us with pleading eyes.
18:19We left him alone in the fog to wait for death.
18:27The sunset stained the order steps like dried blood as a zazzle, and I walked through the gates.
18:33Father practically fell down the stairs, clutching a pillar as his eyes darted behind me.
18:38His voice was shaking.
18:41Where are Aayla and Farien?
18:44I stopped and looked back, my voice as flat as a dead seal.
18:50Aayla had lit the Shadow Lord.
18:51She tried to play God, but only succeeded in dragging herself and Farien into the abyss.
18:57A heavy silence hung over the steps, then low whispers rose.
19:01Those voices weren't loud, but they were thick with hesitation.
19:05Some backed away instinctively, eyes darting between me and the dragon.
19:09The respect they had once had was gone, replaced by naked fear.
19:14Father went pale, stumbling back as he stared at him, then at Azazel.
19:19He opened his mouth to Azazel, but only managed a quiet observation.
19:24The forbidden forest, only you two came back.
19:29It wasn't an accusation, just a realization, but that confirmation alone was deadly enough.
19:36Around us, the knights tightened their grips and shifted their formation.
19:42I watched it all, and nothing stirred inside me.
19:45I didn't explain, I didn't wait.
19:47I just walked away and took Azazel back to the tower.
19:53The door shut, cutting the world off.
19:58Azazel wrapped his arms around me from behind, crushing the flower in his palm.
20:02The violet juice burned like lava as I guided the power into my veins.
20:06My body dried out from sacrificing my bloodline and was forced back into repair.
20:10Power rebuilding and spreading from the outside.
20:13Stormcrawls hung low as her, the gold lightning crawled inside, making a branch for her.
20:19Meanwhile, her deepened waste.
20:21On a ruined altar, Ayla lay in the dark mist.
20:24Her broken limbs stitched together as shadows.
20:27The ravine didn't kill her, but just prepared the perfect vessel and the gods.
20:33Before her mind went dark, she had only one thought left.
20:37Revenge.
20:57The shadow barrier at the border convulsed.
21:00The army mobilized, and the air on the walls turned electric.
21:04A rolling fog of shadow surged from the distance.
21:07A dark figure stood at the front, leading a legion toward the orb.
21:11Dense shadow power coiled around her, followed by high-tier shadow walkers.
21:16It was Ayla.
21:18And Farien, he had been turned into her personal mount, a walking corpse.
21:22The guards on the wall gasped at the sight.
21:25The girl they had once worshipped as the light was now the shadow's bitch.
21:29Ayla stood outside the gates and screamed up at me on the battlements.
21:34She called me ruthless, claimed I had stolen her destiny, and swore she only turned to the dark because I
21:40had forced her hand.
21:41She vowed to level the order, take our lives, and offer my ancestor's blood to the Shadow Lord.
21:47She even tried to stir the crowd, calling Azazel the real threat.
21:51Her voice swept through the order with a chilling, hypnotic edge.
21:54I stood on the tower, looking down at her, and fired back word for word.
21:58I ripped her mask off, calling out her vanity and her treachery.
22:02She had chosen the griffon.
22:03She had plotted for my inheritance.
22:05It was all her.
22:06Running to the shadows was just the consequence of her own choices.
22:10I made it clear the shadows would swallow everyone.
22:13She was just a palm.
22:15My voice was cold and calm, but it cut much deeper than her screaming.
22:19Everyone saw her for what she really was.
22:22No one moved.
22:23Ayla saw her little speech had failed and her face twisted.
22:26Furious, she signaled the attack.
22:29A tide of shadow walkers surged toward the walls, shrieking with bloodlust.
22:34Every impact made the entire gate tremble.
22:36I turned to Azazel beside me.
22:39His gold-slit pupils flashed.
22:40His dragon might began to rise.
22:48Azazel's power was still building when Ayla gave the final command.
22:52The shadows hammered the order.
22:54The guards fought like hell but lost ground.
22:56The walls cracked.
22:57The grand mentor engaged, but Ayla crushed them with ease.
23:03Fueled by shadows, she lunged for me, screaming about ripping my heart out.
23:11Azazel shifted, a massive black dragon.
23:14One blast of eternal night swept the field, incinerating the beasts.
23:17I fought at his side, one woman, one dragon, total devastation.
23:24The puppet Faryon saw our power and felt a spark of primal terror.
23:28He tried to break free, but Ayla shattered his mind.
23:32A second later, Azazel swatted him into a mist of blood.
23:38Ayla went for Kamikaze, trying to detonate herself.
23:41I was ready for it.
23:43I used my ancestor's blood to drop the barrier.
23:46Dragonfire descended.
23:47Ayla turned to Ash mid-screen.
23:53But it wasn't over.
23:54The shadow barrier ripped open.
23:56A massive rift poured out darkness.
23:58This had been the Monster World's real plan.
24:00Azazel and I met eyes, then charged for the rift together.
24:04I drew on my blood for the barrier, while he poured everything into his breath.
24:09We hammered the core of that rift, sealing the barrier completely.
24:13The order was a wreck, but it stayed standing.
24:16The mentor offered me the Crown of Guardian.
24:19I turned it down.
24:22Titles meant nothing to me, anymore.
24:31We headed back to the tower.
24:33The fireplace kept the cold at bay.
24:35He shifted back to human form and pulled me close.
24:39The dragon pact burned hot.
24:43I closed my eyes and finally felt peace.
24:46In my last life, I was a tool, a victim, and a corpse.
24:49In this life, I live for myself and for him.
24:54After that, we held the border hunting.
24:56Training, standing back to back.
24:58Late at night, I leaned into his chest and listened to that heartbeat.
25:02I finally understood.
25:04Redemption was just finding the person who would stand with you.
25:09I am Laura, the Black Dragon's contractor, and the place he belongs.
