Short filmTranscript
00:12Tomorrow is my 18th birthday. I can finally leave this place for good, and live with my knight, my fiancΓ©
00:18Leon, forever.
00:24Damn, 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 bedchain.
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.
00:46You're really willing to let your fiancΓ© 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 you rip us her before he kills her?
01:03Then 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. Otherwise, dragon fire will rain down and
02:10burn 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.
02:27Ten...
02:28Nine...
02:29Even if I live, what then? I've never had a family who loved me.
02:33Six...
02:34I've been a walking corpse for years, but they're different.
02:38Three...
02:38Three...
02:40Two...
02:40Three...
02:43Three...
02:45Four...
02:49Four...
02:50Four...
02:51Four...
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. I'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? You don't bite, do you? Can 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. Just 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! I need food! Otherwise I'll starve to death here!
04:20There is no food in the Sky Castle. Drink some Sky Water and you'll feel full.
04:25You'll feel full~!
04:47You're way too peaceful, you won't seem familiar
04:55......

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