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