The Progenitor Avenged Her Ep

Short filmTranscript
00:00300 years ago, at my wedding to Julian, he attacked me, desperate for the drop of
00:06precious progenitor blood in my veins. He left me for dead and slaughtered my entire clan.
00:12As I lay dying, I was found by the vampire prince, Cassius. He took me home. He cherished me.
00:20My weakness, my lost power, none of it mattered. He even threw us a lavish wedding. Even though
00:26it weakened him, he fed me his own blood every day when I became pregnant. Against all odds,
00:33I thought he was my salvation. Until today, when I overheard him talking to his underling.
00:39The parasite is nearly whole. 300 years of waiting are finally over. Soon, Lilith will be reborn in her
00:47womb, and I can finally give her the perfect, immortal body she deserves.
00:53And Lady Selina? She's just the vessel. Lilith saved me. I owe her everything.
01:02Once Lilith is born, I'll drain every last drop of ancient blood from Selina's body and give Lilith
01:09true immortality. A chill crept up from my feet and settled deep in my heart. 300 years of a loving
01:17marriage. All of it, an elaborate lie. History was repeating itself. I had fallen into a man's trap,
01:24again. Isn't that a bit cruel, my lord? After all, she's been the prince's wife for three centuries.
01:30That title was always meant for Lilith. I've let her enjoy it for 300 years. Besides, if I hadn't found
01:37her, she would have died at Julian's hands, wouldn't she? What if she finds out?
01:41She won't. She's too in love with me. Even if she suspects something, she won't dare believe it.
01:49And now, she's addicted to my blood and the elixirs. She can't survive without them.
01:54I covered my mouth and stumbled back to my room, shaking.
01:59My handmaiden Clara brought in two goblets. One held Cassius' blood. The other, the special elixir
02:06he'd found for me, said to protect the fetus and help it grow strong.
02:09My lady, the prince is so good to you. He specifically told me to watch you drink them
02:14every day. Good to me? I touched my swollen belly and couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
02:22He had been good to me. Anyone who saw us would have sworn he was madly in love.
02:27Later, when I mourned for my clan, he spared no expense, building me a perfect replica of the castle
02:34I grew up in. He kissed my forehead back then.
02:39I would do anything to see you happy. That was why I fell for him. It's why I was willing
02:44to risk
02:44everything for him. Even the near impossible danger of a vampire pregnancy. But now I see it. It wasn't
02:51me he cherished. It was my body. The vessel. No wonder he was moved to tears when I became pregnant.
02:58No wonder this child, which should have taken two centuries to term, was nearly due after only one.
03:05I grabbed the goblet of blood and drained it in one go. As for the other, I poured it onto
03:10the floor.
03:11My lady, what are you-
03:13Shh. Trust me. Don't say a word.
03:17My belly clenched again as the thing inside me moved, more violently this time. I know now. This
03:23wasn't my child. It was Lilith's soul. Can't wait to get out? Too bad. Your little plan is about to
03:29go up in smoke.
03:32I went to my vanity and pulled an old map from the back of a drawer. I found it. The
03:37Sunstone Sanctuary.
03:39A forbidden place, rumored to be filled with deadly, sacred light. It was also the only
03:45place that could purify a corrupt soul. If I could survive its holy fire, I could kill the parasite in
03:52my womb for good. I would rather die than be a pawn in Cassius's game. I stared at my reflection.
03:58A
03:59fire of vengeance burning in my eyes. I swore an oath. If I survived the holy fire, I would burn
04:06the
04:06crimson court to ash. And I would make Cassius pay a price he would never forget for all eternity.
04:21I couldn't let it grow unchecked. I had to suppress it. I desperately called upon what little
04:27remained of my ancient bloodline's power, trying to cage the parasite in my womb.
04:36It was a gift from Cassius for our 100th wedding anniversary. I wrote this melody for you,
04:42so whenever you hear it, you'll remember the beautiful moment we first met.
04:49I had been moved to tears. How ironic.
04:55Selena! I heard you cry out. What happened?
04:59It's nothing, just the baby kicking a little hard. You know, I was just thinking,
05:04the diamonds on this box are lovely. Why don't we have them reset into a new piece of jewelry? My
05:09tastes have changed a bit since becoming pregnant.
05:11No! I want to save this box for... Save it for who? For our child. It has sentimental value.
05:21He was lying. That's not what he was about to say. A tide of fury washed over me,
05:26and I lost all control. With all my might, I threw the music box toward the fireplace.
05:33The fire engulfed his hand, the smell of burning flesh filling the air. But he seemed to feel no pain,
05:40his only concern to protect the box. When he pulled it from the fire, one corner was charred,
05:45revealing the inscription inside. To Lilith, my eternal beloved. The music box was never for me.
05:55The token of love I had cherished for 300 years was a gift for another woman. Hate and humiliation
06:02consumed me. I swept all the jewelry Cassius had ever given me off the vanity and onto the floor.
06:09This was all for her, wasn't it? I was just a standing. A vessel fell!
06:17Selene, what are you doing? Calm down! Just kept throwing his so-called mementos into the fire.
06:23Enough! Keep this up, and I'll throw you in the silver cells myself. I froze. The silver cells. Even
06:32a prince as powerful as him grew weakly. He wanted to lock me, his pregnant wife, in that place?
06:39Selene, listen to me. Stop this foolishness. I'll give you anything you want. New jewelry?
06:47I bit my lip, refusing to speak. I could only stare at the music box in his hand, my heart
06:53burning with
06:54pure hatred. He tried to soothe me, but I just closed my eyes, refusing to look at him. And the
07:01last
07:02shred of tenderness vanished from his face. Fine. Have it your way. His voice ice-cold. He waved his hand.
07:12Take her away. The silver cells were in the castle's deepest dungeon, their walls forged from pure silver.
07:19For a vampire, it was hell on earth. The guard was a grim-faced bloodthrall.
07:26My lady, why must you provoke the master? Just then, a wave of powerful,
07:32evil energy surged from within me. To my horror, I saw the guard's normal gaze turn vacant.
07:40Finally, I can finally control things out here. That wasn't the guard's voice. It was Lilith.
07:46Her soul was already strong enough to possess a human? He grabbed me and slammed me onto a rack
07:54covered in silver spikes.
08:03The Lilith-controlled thrall hissed.
08:05Ah, what exquisite pain. You know, for the last hundred years in your womb, I've had to endure
08:14every moment of you and Cassius' intimacy. Now it's your turn to taste a little pain.
08:21You! You! You! Parasite!
08:28Parasite? The pain was so intense, I nearly blacked out.
08:32I'm just taking back what's mine. Cassius was always mine.
08:37If my own transformation hadn't failed, I would be the one sitting on the prince's throne.
08:43She used the thrall's hands to pick up a silver dagger, then slowly carved the word
08:49into the flesh of my other arm. The silver blades sizzled against my skin.
08:58Look at this beautiful wound. Listen to that lovely scream. And the smell of burning flesh.
09:06So delightful. You should feel honored to give everything for my rebirth.
09:12My heart hammered against my ribs, threatening to stop at any moment. My vision blackened,
09:18my consciousness fading. Just as I was about to pass out, Cassius, in his chambers, suddenly woke from
09:26his sleep. Go to the silver cells and check on Selina. I've prepared her favorite ruby necklace.
09:33If she's ready to apologize, let her out. That thrall, also secretly under Lilith's control,
09:41bowed respectfully. Yes, Master. He returned. Master, the lady is still throwing a tantrum.
09:48She refuses to see you and said some very unpleasant things. If she's not sorry,
09:56then let her rot down there until she comes to her senses. Meanwhile, in the silver cells,
10:03I had completely lost consciousness. Sensing her host's life force fading,
10:08Lilith was forced to stop the torture. She needed me alive, at least until the moment of her birth.
10:13A warm energy flowed from my wound, mending my damaged heart. She was feeding her own power back
10:19into me, just enough to keep my heart beating. Pain pulled me back to reality. I opened my eyes to
10:25find
10:25myself still tied to the rack. Awake? Good. That was just the appetizer. Now for the main course.
10:33A violent slam came from my belly, as if something was trying to tear its way out. Every impact was
10:39agony.
10:41Feel that? That's for the hundred years you've restrained and suppressed me? Now I'm going to make
10:46you pay back. A hundred times over. For every ounce of Cassius's affection you enjoyed. Every kiss.
10:56Every sweet word. They were all meant for me! A horrific scream ripped from my throat,
11:03echoing through the silver cells. Cassius felt a phantom pain and shot upright in bed. Master, what's wrong?
11:11I... I thought I heard something. Never mind. Probably a nightmare. Selina is stubborn. Maybe
11:17then she'll learn not to be so much trouble. He lay back down and was soon fast asleep. But I
11:22remained in the silver cells, enduring inhuman torture every second and eternity. Just when I
11:28thought I would die there, a familiar figure appeared silently outside the cell door. Clara,
11:33My lady? Using an invisibility spell to slip past the guards. My lady, what... what happened? I couldn't speak.
11:46This is the last of the potent blood. Using my last ounce of strength, I took the vial and drank
11:52it all.
11:53It would only last a few hours, but it would be enough. A few hours. Enough to get to the
11:59sunstone
12:00sanctuary. Enough to kill the disgusting parasite in my womb. My lady, where are you going? To the place where
12:09this all ends. Clara, if I don't make it back, you must live. Get away from this place. Far away.
12:17I vanished from the silver-laced cell. Master! Master! Something happened! Huh?
12:26What is all this commotion? The lady, she's gone. The silver cell is empty.
12:32Impossible. Where would she go without me? In this entire world of our kind, she has nowhere to run,
12:38no one to protect her. She's probably just sulking in a corner somewhere. But Master,
12:42we've looked everywhere. There's not even a trace of her scent. What did you say? You've looked everywhere?
12:48Yes, from the dungeons to the highest tower. Every single corner. Tear this place apart if you have to!
12:57Find her!
12:58Soon, the entire Crimson Court was in an uproar. After a fruitless search, a thought struck Cassius.
13:05He strode to a jewelry box and pulled out a necklace set with a blood-red gem. It was his
13:10wedding gift to
13:11me, infused with a drop of his own blood, allowing him to sense the wearer's location, closing his eyes to
13:17focus. The Northwest. She's heading for the Hallowed Temple. He activated the necklace's link.
13:23Selina! What game are you playing? Stop this nonsense at once! Come back now, and I will forgive you.
13:31At that moment, I was struggling through a forest of thorns when the necklace on my chest grew hot,
13:37and Cassius' angry voice echoed from it. Forgive me? What right did he have to forgive me?
13:43It glinted once in the moonlight, then was swallowed by the darkness. Cassius felt the connection
13:49severe. The color drained from his face. Selina, what are you doing? I had already reached the
13:56outskirts of the palace. This was it. The legendary Hallowed Temple of Light.
14:10It was as terrible as they said. I gritted my teeth. A vampire's healing is strong,
14:18and the burns began to mend. Lilith, within me, let out a terrified scream.
14:24No! You're insane! You'll kill us both!
14:29Then we'll die together, I sneered, forcing myself forward. A second beam of light struck,
14:35more powerful than the first. I coughed up blood and fell to my knees, but I could feel the light
14:41had also seared the parasite within me. Her soul was weakening under the assault.
14:47It's working. Just then, a shadow blurred past. Selina!
14:51A third beam of holy light was gathering in the sky, more terrifying than the last two combined.
14:58As it was about to fall, Cassius dove in front of me, taking half the blast with his own body.
15:04He spat a mouthful of black blood and crashed to the ground, but the other half still hit me.
15:09Already exhausted, I couldn't take any more. I collapsed. An unimaginable pain tore through
15:15my abdomen, like something was ripping me apart from the inside, but I managed a weak smile.
15:25Selina, why? Why would you hurt yourself like this?
15:30Because I'd rather die than be your vessel.
15:34Shock and guilt flashed in his eyes.
15:38I don't know what you're talking about. I can explain.
15:41But before he could touch me, Lilith clawed her way into the world. With the sound of tearing flesh,
15:47Lilith emerged from my body. Blood poured from the wound. She scrambled toward Cassius,
15:53blind to her own monstrous form. The holy light and premature birth had made her a twisted hybrid,
15:59half vampire, half human. She had a vampire's fangs, but her body was frail and skeletal,
16:06a pale wisp of a thing.
16:07Cassius, help me.
16:10Horror and disgust warred on Cassius' face. Lilith's pleas became more desperate.
16:17Cassius, she tried to kill me. She brought me to this awful place to burn me with holy light.
16:23If you hadn't come, I would have never seen you again.
16:27Selina, for centuries I have treated you well. All I asked was to use your body to bring Lilith back.
16:34How could you be so cruel?
16:36Cruel? My only regret is that I didn't kill her completely!
16:40Silence!
16:44Cassius, I feel like I'm fading. I need more power to hold this form.
16:49Her ancient bloodline. If I had it, I could become a true vampire. You promised me.
16:56Fine. I will get it for you. He walked toward me, a flicker of conflict in his eyes that quickly
17:03turned to cold murder. Three hundred years. I was good to you. Now, it's time for you to serve your
17:11final purpose. My heart filled with despair. Was this how it ended? Killed by the man who betrayed me?
17:17I won't let it. I won't. Stop.
17:20A deep voice resonating with power cuts through the air. In the next instant, Cassius was thrown aside,
17:26the silver blade clattering to the ground. I opened my eyes to see a tall figure standing over me.
17:32He had hair as black as ink and deep violet eyes. He radiated an ancient and immense power.
17:40Who are you?
17:41The man ignored him, turning to look at me. When I saw his face, a strange sense of familiarity washed
17:47over me. Don't be afraid. You're safe now. He bent down and lifted me into his arms.
17:53Don't you dare! Take her!
17:55With just a look, Cassius, a prince of his own court, was frozen in place, bound by an unseen force.
18:02A mere descendant dares to act so brazenly in my presence. Try that again, and I will wipe your
18:08crimson court from existence.
18:12To my astonishment, not only were my wounds healed, but even the gash in my stomach had vanished without a
18:19scar. And memories, long-lost memories, were flooding in. I were flooding my mind. The man who saved me
18:25was Dorian, a powerful progenitor vampire. It was at my 200th birthday celebration. I had wandered off
18:32and stumbled upon his ancient castle. He didn't turn me away. Instead, he welcomed me with a gentle
18:38kindness. We spent a blissful time together. I sometimes caught a complex, loving look in his eyes,
18:44but I was already engaged. We both understood and never crossed that line. Before he entered
18:49one of his long slumbers, he gave me a drop of his own progenitor blood as a coming-of-age
18:54gift.
18:55To protect me, I never imagined that very gift would bring about my ruin.
19:00You're awake.
19:01The familiar voice came from the doorway. Dorian entered, holding a crystal goblet
19:05filled with blood that smelled intoxicatingly sweet.
19:10My own heart's blood. It will help you recover your strength.
19:18How did you find me?
19:19Because I love you. The moment I awoke, I went to find you.
19:24I never expected to see you. You had a fiancé then, and I was about to fall into slumber.
19:31I couldn't give you any promises. But now, Selina, please give me a chance. Let me take care of you.
19:40Darian?
19:43Right now, all I want is revenge. Julian stole my bloodline and slaughtered my clan.
19:50Cassius used and deceived me for 300 years. I will make them pay.
19:55I will help you. Your enemies are my enemies.
19:59Over the next seven days, under Dorian's care, my strength returned with incredible speed.
20:05Just as I was preparing to hunt down Julian, an unexpected visitor arrived.
20:11Selina, my love, I finally found you.
20:17These past years, I have lived every day in repentance.
20:22I've missed you so much. I don't know what came over me back then, to have hurt you so.
20:32Please, forgive me. Come back to me. These 300 years without you have been a living hell.
20:40If my memories hadn't returned, I might have actually been moved by his performance.
20:44But now, I could see right through it. To the greed and calculation in his eyes.
20:50His body was rejecting my progenitor blood. He couldn't control its power.
20:56That was the only reason he had come looking for me.
21:02Julian, are you done with your act?
21:05The pain of my stolen blood. The murder of my entire family.
21:10Today, you will pay for it all. Dorian handed me a dagger, forged of black obsidian.
21:18It was forged from the bones of an ancient demon.
21:22It's poison to our kind. Use it. End this.
21:27When Julian saw the dagger in my hand, his veneer of remorse shattered.
21:32If you won't do this the easy way, then don't blame me for what comes next.
21:38You think a little restored power makes you a match for me?
21:42I am an ancient, thousands of years old.
21:45In a flash, his hand shot toward my throat.
21:56That was just the beginning.
21:59The agony I felt when you tore my blood from me.
22:03I'm going to return it to you, tenfold.
22:08Julian dodged clumsily, horrified to find that, despite his superior age, he was losing ground.
22:20No! This is impossible!
22:24I consumed your progenitor blood.
22:26My power should be far greater than yours!
22:38A shame. It never truly belonged to you.
22:44Black, corrupted blood gushed out.
22:47At the same time, the blood in my own veins began to stir.
22:54He felt something inside him shift, fighting to escape.
22:58What are you doing?!
23:08It was my progenitor blood, stolen 300 years ago.
23:20I'm so scared.
23:21I'm so scared.
23:21I'm so scared.
23:22I'm so scared.
23:23An incredible surge of power exploded within me.
23:26So this is the true power of a progenitor.
23:29Julian, refusing to give up, lunged one last time.
23:34Dorian simply waved a hand and he was sent flying backward.
23:39You overestimate yourself.
23:41Selina, allow me to dispose of him for you.
23:44You needn't dirty your hands.
23:48I didn't object.
23:50Julian was dragged away and hurled into the chasm behind the castle.
23:54A bottomless, dark abyss.
23:56Let him enjoy an eternity of solitude and hunger down there.
24:03Vengeance was mine, but the triumph I'd expected felt hollow.
24:07Instead, thinking of my fallen family, a wave of profound grief washed over me.
24:13Father, mother, my brothers and sisters.
24:16They were never coming back.
24:19Selina.
24:23I know.
24:25Even revenge can't fill the void of losing the ones you love.
24:30They're all gone.
24:31All of them.
24:33The grief I'd suppressed for 300 years finally breaking free.
24:37I'm the last one.
24:41No.
24:42You're not alone.
24:43From now on, I will always be with you.
24:46For a hundred years.
24:47A thousand.
24:48For all of eternity.
24:50I will never leave you.
24:52His words were like warmth seeping into a frozen heart.
24:55But having been betrayed twice, I couldn't give my trust away so easily.
25:00I leaned against him, lost in thought.
25:03This time, can I believe him?
25:06The next evening, I returned to the ruins of my family's estate.
25:10The once grand castle of the Dracul clan was now just a pile of rubble, overgrown with thorns and weeds.
25:18I knelt in the center of the ruins and performed the ancient rite of mourning.
25:35The night wind moaned through the wreckage, as if the souls of my family were answering me.
25:41The ritual ended late into the night.
25:44I dragged my weary body back to Dorian's castle.
25:48But that night, the nightmares returned.
25:51In my dreams, I was back in that night of blood 300 years ago.
25:56Surrounded at home.
25:57The sky was red with fire.
26:00The ground slick with blood.
26:02I watched as a silver dagger pierced my father's chest.
26:07As my mother died before my eyes.
26:09As my people fell, one by one.
26:13No, please!
26:14Let them go, please!
26:19But it was useless.
26:21The blood stained everything.
26:24My lady, wake up!
26:29Clara was looking at me with concern.
26:32Clara?
26:34How are you here?
26:36I thought...
26:37I managed to escape.
26:40I've been looking for you for so long, my lady.
26:44I studied her, but something felt wrong.
26:46The face and voice were the same, but her expression, something was missing.
26:52Clara.
26:53Did you happen to bring my favorite emerald ring with you?
26:56A flicker of panic crossed Clara's face.
26:59My lady, I...
27:00I left in such a hurry, I forgot it.
27:03I'm so sorry.
27:04Her answer sent alarm bells ringing in my head.
27:07I never owned an emerald ring.
27:12I see.
27:14Come here, Clara.
27:15Clara, let me see if you were hurt.
27:22The moment the silver hit, Clara shrieked, her features twisting and melting.
27:30You damned bitch!
27:33How did you know?
27:34Because I've never owned an emerald ring.
27:38Clara was with me for centuries.
27:40She would have known that.
27:42So clever!
27:44Too bad your loyal little servant is already dead!
27:47What did you say?
27:50That traitor?
27:51I tortured her to death in the silver cells for letting you escape.
27:55She was still whispering about protecting you right before she died.
28:00Pathetic.
28:01Clara, the last of my people.
28:04Dead?
28:04Because she tried to save me?
28:06Rage and grief erupted inside me like a volcano.
28:10I lunged forward and wrapped my hands around Lilith's throat.
28:13For the pain you caused me in that dungeon.
28:16And for Clara's life.
28:18You will repay every drop of pain.
28:21And Clara's life.
28:23In blood!
28:24Lilith's face began to turn purple.
28:26She clawed at my wrists, but my grip was like iron.
28:29Wait!
28:31You hurt me.
28:33And Cassius will never forgive you.
28:38Cassius?
28:39Cassius?
28:43Right now, I have more than enough power to kill you both.
28:47After the morning ritual, the souls of my ancestors had found peace, and their remaining power had flowed into me.
28:54The pure blood of the Dracul clan coursed through my veins, stronger than it had been 300 years ago.
29:01Just as I was about to snap her neck...
29:04Stop!
