Short filmTranscript
00:00I am the High Princess of the Phoenix Clan.
00:03I poured all my power into Caspian, my childhood sweetheart, to be my husband, and the next Dragon King.
00:13In return, a blade plunges through my chest.
00:16Blood sprays across the man I loved for a lifetime.
00:20Caspian holds the sword, his other arm wrapped around Isolde.
00:23If you hadn't forced me to marry you, Iselithe wouldn't have suffered.
00:29I only faked loving you, just to rip out your magical core for her.
00:33He tears the feathers, he snaps my bones, then he reaches into my chest and pulls out my magical core
00:39with his bare hands.
00:40I collapse in a pool of my own blood.
00:43Through fading eyes, I watch him place my core into Isolde's palm, like a gift.
00:49Just as I thought I was dead, the pain vanished.
00:53I snap my eyes open, drenched in cold sweat.
00:57My hand flies to my chest.
00:59My core is still there.
01:01Florence, have you decided who to marry?
01:04The day of choosing a husband, I've been reborn.
01:06Every face around me is exactly as I remember.
01:12Father, I think...
01:16King, I know Florence loves me, but Iselithe is my only true love.
01:22The crowd gasps.
01:23The king's face turns to stone.
01:25Everyone in this room knows what I represent.
01:28I am the Phoenix Princess.
01:30The only one.
01:31Suddenly, every man in the hall shifts.
01:34Eyes sharpen, ambitions stir.
01:37I know Florence can't live without me.
01:40So I'll be generous.
01:42I'll let her be my mistress.
01:45She should be grateful Iselithe is kind enough to share.
01:48That Isolde, she's not even a real phoenix.
01:50During the Great War, phoenix egg was lost.
01:53Go and protect the phoenix egg!
01:57The clan brought her back by mistake, thinking she was me.
02:00My mother was kind.
02:02She let Isolde stay, gave her the title of princess.
02:04But a borrowed crown doesn't change what you are.
02:07Ten years after I returned to my true family, I was sent to live in the dragon palace.
02:12And that's when things changed.
02:13Dragon blood is dying.
02:14New kings are chosen from lesser bloodlines, nagas, serpents, even lizards.
02:19They must survive the heavenly light to transform into dragons.
02:23But without a phoenix princess, not one of them would live through it.
02:27The power purifies them.
02:29Shields them.
02:30The princess doesn't just pick a king.
02:33She makes one.
02:34Caspian's words didn't just insult me.
02:36How dare you!
02:44Florence, whatever you want to do with him, do it.
02:47Just don't let his stupidity drive you away.
02:51Then he turned to me.
02:53What are you waiting for?
02:55Don't you want to marry me more than anything?
02:57Here's your chance.
02:58Just say yes.
02:59Florence, you've stolen so much from Izzel already.
03:03She's kind enough to let you share me with her.
03:06You should be on your knees thanking her.
03:08In my past life, this is where swallowed my pride, smiled through the teeth, and chose me.
03:14I gave him everything.
03:15My magic, my core, my life.
03:18And he repaid me with a blade through the heart.
03:21Not this time.
03:22I lift my chin and look past him, as if he's not even there.
03:26I look at the king.
03:28My voice is steady and clear.
03:31I have already decided.
03:34Now, everyone looks at me.
03:36Including Caspian.
03:37I didn't speak his name.
03:39I step toward the king and take his hand.
03:42Then I lean close, and use magic to whisper my plan directly into his mind.
03:47The king's eyes flicker.
03:48Then, he nods.
03:51You.
03:52Stay home.
03:54This is my last chance for you.
03:57Reflect on what you've done.
03:59A smug smile crawls across Caspian's face.
04:02His eyes say everything.
04:04He thinks the wedding is for him.
04:06I don't correct him.
04:07Instead, I let my gaze drift to the far corner of the hall.
04:10A young man stands there.
04:12Half hidden in shadow.
04:14Sharp, quiet eyes.
04:15A pair of small black naga horns on his head.
04:18The moment our eyes meet, he looks away.
04:21Like he's been caught doing something he shouldn't.
04:24Then the king sends everyone away, except him.
04:27They speak privately for a few minutes.
04:30When I leave the palace, Caspian is waiting outside.
04:34Caspian takes Isolde's hand and walks toward me like he owns the ground I stand on.
04:38Thank you for letting us be together, sister.
04:41My parents would be so happy if they could see this.
04:44My stomach turns.
04:45Caspian cuts in before I can respond.
04:47Why are you thanking her?
04:49She should be thanking you for being generous enough to share me.
04:53If you had said no, I wouldn't even keep her as a mistress.
04:56In my past life, I never once heard that voice directed at me.
05:00Isolde's parents died because of you.
05:03She lost everything.
05:05And yet she's still kind to you.
05:08The least you can do is give her something in compensation.
05:11Not once in all the years I bleed for him.
05:14Let me tell you about Isolde's parents.
05:17They were fake phoenixes.
05:18Lesser spirits who found me as a lost child and raised me as their own.
05:22And they died protecting me from a beast that attacked our home.
05:26Their sacrifice is the reason the phoenix clan found me.
05:29Her death gave me back my birthright.
05:31Until the day I died.
05:33That's when I learned the truth.
05:34Isolde lured that beast to our home.
05:37She sent it to kill me.
05:39And when her own parents got in the way, she let them die.
05:42She murdered her own parents just to get rid of me.
05:44And now she stands here.
05:46Using their graves to squeeze more from me.
05:49I look at them both.
05:51I say nothing.
05:53Isolde tugs gently on Caspian's sleeve.
05:55That delicate little gesture she's perfected over the years.
05:58Caspian pauses.
05:59As if remembering something.
06:01Florence.
06:02There's one more thing.
06:04What?
06:05Isilin's magic is weak.
06:07After the wedding she'll be bullied by the other clans.
06:11You gave her plenty of artifacts.
06:13Who would dare bully her?
06:14Every gift I ever gave him.
06:17Every treasure.
06:17Every rare artifact.
06:19He handed straight to Isolde without a second thought.
06:22Artifacts are nothing compared to real power.
06:26I want to borrow your magical core.
06:29Suddenly, my brain explodes with a loud ring.
06:31His hands inside my chest.
06:33His fingers closing around my core and pulling.
06:36My vision goes red.
06:37Every nerve in my body screams, kill them.
06:39My magic surges.
06:40But I force it down.
06:41I force myself to breathe.
06:44Death is too easy for them.
06:46Too quick.
06:46Too merciful.
06:47I look him dead in the eyes.
06:50Give me your spirit core.
06:52Do you know what losing a core means?
06:55I will lose all my magic.
06:57I could die.
06:59We're about to be married.
07:00Why are you being so selfish about this?
07:04Give her the core.
07:06Now.
07:08I know exactly what he's doing.
07:10In my past life, this is how it ended.
07:12He didn't borrow my core.
07:14He ripped it out of me without a second thought.
07:16I stare at him.
07:17My magic answers my rage before I can stop it.
07:21An invisible pressure radiates from my body like heat from a furnace.
07:25Isolde's face drains of color.
07:27Even Caspian takes a half step back.
07:29His confidence cracks.
07:30Good.
07:31Be afraid.
07:32I could end them both right here.
07:34But then a voice cuts through the tension.
07:36Princess Florence.
07:38The king sent me to find you.
07:39He's standing less than ten feet from me.
07:41Right inside the full radius of my pressure.
07:44And he hasn't moved to flinch.
07:45Everyone else in this corridor is struggling to stand.
07:48He's standing like a mountain.
07:50He's still just a naga.
07:51But if he can stand still under the pressure of a phoenix princess,
07:55then his true power runs deeper than anyone knows.
07:58I release my magic.
07:59Pull it back like sheathing a blade.
08:01The air returns to normal.
08:03All right.
08:04Let's go.
08:05Wait!
08:05What business does this lowborn have with you?
08:08What could a filthy naga possibly have to say to the phoenix princess?
08:12The boy doesn't even look at Caspian.
08:14He just waits for me.
08:16This quiet, unshaken boy is my future husband.
08:19Of course we have things to talk about.
08:21Instead of worrying about who I talk to,
08:22you should be preparing for the trial in five days.
08:25Trial?
08:26I am the strongest dragon candidate of this generation.
08:28I'll succeed even without your help.
08:32We will see.
08:34The dragon trial opens once every 50 years.
08:37Every candidate who dreams of becoming a dragon must enter.
08:40They face the heavenly lightning that burns away their old form.
08:43If you endure it,
08:44you shed your scales and become a true dragon.
08:47One mistake,
08:48and you turn to ash.
08:49In my past life,
08:51I used my own life force magic to shield Caspian from nine bolts at once.
08:55He became the first dragon in history to succeed on his first try.
08:59They called him a genius.
09:00A once in a millennium king.
09:02They never knew it was my magic holding him together.
09:05My core cracking under the weight of his ambition.
09:08The damage left a permanent scar on my cultivation.
09:11Mentioning the trial shifts his focus immediately.
09:13Just wait.
09:14In five days,
09:15you will come beg me to marry you.
09:17I stay silent,
09:18leaving.
09:19Out of the corner of my eye,
09:21I catch a flash of jealousy in Isolde's expression.
09:24They walk away together,
09:25like the perfect couple.
09:27Arthur.
09:28The king told you everything I say,
09:31about the trial.
09:32So I need one honest answer.
09:34Are you here for power?
09:36Or is there another reason?
09:38He doesn't answer right away.
09:40Then he drops to his knees,
09:42both hands flat on the ground,
09:43forehead pressed to the earth.
09:45I, Arthur,
09:46swear an oath to the heavens.
09:48If I ever betray you,
09:49in this life or any other,
09:51let me die the cruelest death imaginable.
09:54He stays kneeling waiting.
09:55I reach to the sun.
09:57A strong wave of magic shows.
09:59A phoenix royal pendant rests in my palm.
10:01I release my hand,
10:03kneel down.
10:03I believe you.
10:05His lips part,
10:06but no sound comes out.
10:08I pretend not to notice.
10:09I return to my palace.
10:11The moment I step through the gate,
10:12my little bird spirit comes running toward me.
10:15Princess!
10:16Princess, come quickly!
10:18They're chopping your tree.
10:20My blood goes cold.
10:22I look up and rush to the main courtyard,
10:24my sycamore.
10:25My mother gave me that tree
10:27the day I left the phoenix realm.
10:28I was scared.
10:29I didn't want to leave home.
10:31I didn't want to live among dragons.
10:33The sycamore is the home of the phoenix.
10:36Wherever you are in this world,
10:38wherever they send you,
10:39as long as this tree stands,
10:41you are home.
10:42It was so small when I planted it,
10:44and now it's gone,
10:45destroyed in a single afternoon
10:47by a man who never loved me.
10:49How dare you cut down my sycamore?
10:52It's just a tree.
10:54I cut it down.
10:56So what?
10:58From now on,
10:59you will only grow phoenix flowers
11:00that Isolette loves here.
11:03This is my palace.
11:05I plant what I want.
11:06Can't you even give a place of her own?
11:08Caspian looked embarrassed for a moment.
11:10He is just one of many candidates.
11:12Until they become king,
11:14they live in shared halls.
11:16Your things are mine.
11:17I'm just planning ahead for us.
11:19If you annoy me,
11:20I might not marry you at all.
11:21He didn't see any panic on my face,
11:23so he tried to act sweet.
11:25I'm doing this for your own good.
11:27Be good, be good,
11:28and I'll let you have my first son.
11:30Don't flatter yourself, Caspian.
11:32You will never be my husband.
11:34Not in this life.
11:35He didn't believe me.
11:36He thought I was just angry.
11:38If not me, then who else?
11:39The king said he's preparing our wedding.
11:42I looked at his confident face and sneered.
11:44Five days later,
11:45everyone gathered at the dragon's palace.
11:48Surprisingly,
11:49Isolde showed up this time too.
11:50Everyone was staring at the two of them.
11:52Caspian saw me
11:53and walked over immediately.
11:55Florence!
11:57I'm counting on you today.
12:00For Isolette's sake,
12:03I will be gentle with you.
12:05I stayed silent,
12:06and he didn't seem to care.
12:08Suddenly,
12:09Caspian's eyes froze.
12:10He marched toward Arthur with pure rage.
12:13The necklace
12:14only belongs to the future husband
12:17of the Phoenix Clan.
12:19How did it end up in the hands
12:20of a lowborn wretch like you?
12:28What are you?
12:29This is my future husband.
12:31The real dragon.
12:34Caspian glared at Arthur
12:35like he wanted to rip him apart.
12:37Arthur showed no fear
12:38and just stared back coldly.
12:40Caspian was furious
12:41and about to lose it.
12:43Isolde quickly stepped up
12:45and grabbed his arm.
12:46Caspian,
12:47that necklace can't be real.
12:48It must be a fake.
12:50Look at him.
12:51The trial is starting.
12:53He won't survive one strike.
12:55Don't waste your time
12:56on trash like him.
12:57Soon,
12:58the king arrived.
12:59He opened the door
13:00for the trial.
13:01Most candidates
13:02only lasted one lightning stroke.
13:04The best among them
13:05only took three.
13:06The king looked disappointed
13:07in all of them.
13:09Then,
13:09it was Caspian's turn.
13:11He walked forward
13:12with total confidence.
13:13Isolde actually followed
13:15right beside him.
13:16The crowd whispered
13:17in total shock.
13:18It is a deadly place.
13:19A weak spirit like Isolde
13:21would turn to Ash instantly.
13:23Don't be scared.
13:25Don't you trust my power?
13:26Besides,
13:27Florence is right here.
13:28She won't just stand there
13:30and let me fail.
13:36Isolet,
13:37what are you doing?
13:37We agreed you would
13:38just stay by my side.
13:40Losing your core
13:40will ruin your future cultivation.
13:43Caspian,
13:44I know my magic
13:45is very weak.
13:46I'm nothing like
13:47a royal phoenix princess,
13:48but I want to do
13:49something for you.
13:51Let my core help you
13:51survive the lightning.
13:53What's the point?
13:55Her magical core
13:56won't last a second.
13:57She must really love him
13:58to do that.
13:59What does Catherine have
14:00that makes everyone love him?
14:01He sure isn't afraid to die.
14:03If Caspian fails,
14:04her core will shatter first.
14:06Without a core,
14:06she'll lose everything
14:07and die.
14:08He only dares because
14:09of Princess Florence.
14:10I don't know why
14:11she is so loyal
14:12to him.
14:12The crowd gossiped
14:13with envy in their eyes.
14:15I just watched everything
14:16with a cold stare.
14:17This didn't happen
14:18in my past life.
14:19Now,
14:20I'm curious to see
14:21what happens next.
14:22He suddenly summoned
14:23nine heavenly thunderbolts.
14:25The golden divine water
14:27flowed slowly around him.
14:29He lost his mind?
14:30He's channeling magic
14:31that's meant to kill.
14:32No one in history
14:33has ever survived that.
14:34The sky turned pitch black
14:36in an instant.
14:37With lightning like that,
14:38he's doomed.
14:39Even with Florence's help,
14:40he'll be ruined.
14:41He might survive,
14:42but his power will be gone.
14:44The crowd was stunned,
14:45and so was Isolde.
14:46She never expected Caspian
14:47to be this crazy.
14:49Yeah,
14:50he's always been reckless.
14:51In my last life,
14:53he never cared
14:53about my safety.
14:54Let's see how he survives
14:56without me this time.
14:57A massive boom
14:58echoed through the air.
14:59The lightning was ready
15:00to strike from above.
15:02Caspian looked at me,
15:03his eyes full of greed.
15:05Florence,
15:06what are you waiting for?
15:07Come here
15:08and help me
15:08survive the trial.
15:09I just stood there
15:10and watched him coldly.
15:12He thought I didn't hear him
15:13and stepped closer.
15:15Florence,
15:16do you still want
15:17to marry me?
15:18You're only here
15:19to help me become a dragon.
15:21Why aren't you doing anything?
15:23Move now!
15:24I stood there
15:25like a statue,
15:26cold and still.
15:27Caspian's smug face
15:29finally showed pure terror.
15:31Florence!
15:32This isn't the time
15:33for jokes.
15:34If these nine bolts
15:35hit me,
15:36I'll die.
15:36Do you really have
15:37the heart to let me die?
15:38I remembered my past life
15:40after our wedding.
15:41He was always so cold
15:42and distant to me.
15:43I used to think
15:44that was just his personality
15:45until I caught him
15:46meeting Isolde in secret.
15:48His eyes were filled
15:49with so much tenderness then.
15:51The Phoenix clan
15:52is so cruel to you.
15:53It wasn't your fault
15:54you took Florence's place.
15:56He rubbed her hand
15:57and complained
15:57about my family.
15:58I watched them,
16:00feeling a chill
16:00in my soul.
16:01Isolde was the one
16:02who tried to steal
16:03our treasure.
16:04She wanted the 100 year
16:05magical core for herself.
16:07She only got caught
16:08because she was greedy.
16:09My parents only spared her
16:11because she begged.
16:12She hadn't cried,
16:13she'd be ash by now.
16:15Caspian knew the truth
16:16back then.
16:16He even called her
16:17greedy to my face.
16:19But now,
16:20he was blaming me
16:21for everything.
16:22In my past life,
16:23I wanted to confront him.
16:24But suddenly,
16:25a sharp pain
16:26hit my stomach.
16:27It felt like fire
16:28was tearing my organs apart.
16:30I rolled on the ground,
16:32screaming in agony.
16:34Then,
16:34a pair of white leather boots
16:36appeared.
16:37I looked up
16:38and saw Caspian with a sword.
16:40He watched me suffer
16:42with cold,
16:43dead eyes.
16:43The next second,
16:45blood splashed everywhere.
16:46He ripped my magical core
16:48out of my body.
16:49Thinking of this
16:50makes me want to kill him.
16:52The lightning above
16:53finally locked onto me.
16:55Caspian realized
16:56that something was
16:57very wrong.
16:58He started to panic.
17:03Florence,
17:04you-
17:04Before he could finish,
17:06the first bolt struck.
17:08The purple-gold lightning
17:10crashed hard.
17:11It hit Caspian
17:12with the force of a mountain.
17:13He summoned nine bolts
17:15at once.
17:15Each one
17:16was ten times stronger
17:18than normal.
17:19Caspian was so panicked,
17:20he forgot to defend.
17:22He screamed
17:22and coughed up
17:23a spray of blood.
17:25Isolde shrieked
17:25in horror.
17:26In an instant,
17:27her tiny magical core
17:29shattered.
17:29All her magic energy
17:31drained away.
17:32Her face turned pale
17:33and blood leaked out.
17:35But the most terrifying part
17:36happened next.
17:38Her young,
17:38beautiful face
17:39began to shrivel.
17:40Deep wrinkles
17:41covered her skin
17:42in seconds.
17:43Countless dragons
17:44stared at him.
17:45Their eyes were
17:45full of mockery.
17:46Disgust and contempt
17:47were everywhere.
17:48Isolde covered
17:49her face tightly.
17:50No!
17:51Don't look at me!
17:52I beg you,
17:53stop looking!
17:54But Caspian
17:54could not help.
17:55The lightning
17:56broke his spirit.
17:57Caspian,
17:58please save me!
17:59He fell to his knees.
18:01He looked messy
18:02and full of regret.
18:04He looked up at me.
18:06His pride
18:07was finally gone.
18:08Florence,
18:09save me.
18:10I am your future husband.
18:13How can you
18:14watch me die?
18:14I walked toward him.
18:16Every yon
18:16was watching me.
18:17Caspian
18:17looked so happy.
18:19Who said
18:19you were my husband?
18:20I already
18:21talked to the king.
18:23I chose
18:24Arthur as my husband.
18:28The phoenix necklace
18:29is proof.
18:30The crowd went
18:31dead silent.
18:32Then,
18:33everyone started
18:33screaming.
18:34No one expected
18:35this choice.
18:36I chose Arthur,
18:37the lonely boy.
18:38He is quiet
18:38and steady.
18:39He never tried
18:40to show off.
18:40He didn't try
18:41to please me.
18:41He just watched
18:42me from afar.
18:43When we met eyes,
18:44he blushed.
18:45In my last life,
18:46I saw his love.
18:47He risked death
18:49to bury me.
18:50That's how I knew
18:51he loved me.
18:52Many men want me
18:53for power.
18:54They want the phoenix throne.
18:56They want to rule dragons.
18:58But Arthur is different.
19:00I looked back
19:01at Caspian again.
19:06In my past life,
19:08Caspian only dared
19:09to face three bolts
19:10of lightning.
19:11After three hits,
19:12he was covered
19:13in wounds.
19:14But he wasn't
19:15satisfied with that.
19:17He wanted to prove
19:18his own strength,
19:19so he sent me
19:19a secret message.
19:21He begged me
19:21to help him.
19:22I secretly
19:23used my
19:24Urbana magic.
19:25I used my
19:26magical core
19:27to protect him.
19:28That battle
19:28damaged my
19:29magical core.
19:30It took me
19:30two years
19:31to recover.
19:32I was left
19:33with a permanent
19:33illness.
19:34Later,
19:35he became the first
19:36king to survive
19:37nine bolts at once.
19:38Thousands of people
19:39worshipped him.
19:40But in this life,
19:41he was too greedy.
19:42With experience
19:43from his past life,
19:45he didn't care
19:45about the risk.
19:46He won't have
19:47nine bolts
19:48of lightning at once.
19:49He didn't care
19:50if I got hurt.
19:51He didn't care
19:52if I got sick forever.
19:53From start to finish,
19:55Caspian only ever
19:55cared about himself.
19:57What a pity.
19:58I looked at
19:58the rolling thunder.
19:59I'm afraid
20:00Caspian won't
20:01even survive
20:02the second bolt.
20:03Just as I thought
20:04that,
20:04a huge purple-gold
20:06lightning bolt
20:06struck.
20:07Caspian looked
20:08absolutely terrified,
20:10but it was already
20:11too late.
20:11The lightning
20:12crashed down
20:13with the roar.
20:14It hit the trial
20:15ground hard.
20:16After a while,
20:17the king sighed.
20:18He raised his hand
20:19and cleared
20:20the thundering clouds.
20:22He was once
20:24a talented dragon,
20:26and not the war
20:27wings' weight
20:27you dread.
20:29The morn
20:29were instillants.
20:30The king explained
20:31this to the crown.
20:32Then, he sent
20:33a surge of spiritual
20:34energy into
20:35Caspian's body.
20:36After that,
20:36Caspian slowly woke up.
20:38Servants pulled him
20:39out of the ground.
20:40Before,
20:41they respected him
20:42because I loved him,
20:43but now he is powerless
20:44and badly hurt.
20:45The servants treated
20:46him carelessly.
20:47Their eyes were
20:48full of contempt.
20:49Caspian had
20:50someone to save him,
20:51but Isolde was
20:52not so lucky.
20:53She gave her
20:53magical core to Caspian.
20:55Now that the core
20:56was shattered,
20:56she aged instantly.
20:58Isolde cried
20:59bitter tears
21:00as she grew old.
21:01This time,
21:02Caspian finally
21:03became smart.
21:04He didn't ask me
21:05for anything.
21:05He just stared
21:06at me blankly.
21:07The king looked at me.
21:08I nodded at him
21:09casually.
21:10I was the one
21:11who told the king
21:12to save Caspian.
21:14Caspian noticed
21:15this small movement
21:16immediately.
21:17His eyes lit up
21:18suddenly.
21:18He stumbled
21:19toward me.
21:20I was wrong.
21:21With a loud thud,
21:22he knelt down.
21:23Florence,
21:23please forgive me.
21:25His face
21:25was full of regret.
21:26I only want you now.
21:28I will love you
21:29with all my heart.
21:30I won't have
21:31any other desires.
21:32I felt a wave
21:33of pure joy.
21:34I lifted my foot
21:35and kicked him.
21:36Caspian looked
21:37totally shocked.
21:38In our past life,
21:40when you cut out
21:41my magical core,
21:43did you ever
21:44think of today?
21:45I didn't look
21:46at him again.
21:47I led Arthur
21:48to the ground.
21:49I will stay
21:50with you.
21:51I didn't look
21:51at him again.
21:52I led Arthur
21:54to the ground.
21:55I will stay
21:56with you.
21:56But he stood
21:57there, frozen.
21:58Everyone was
21:59watching us.
22:00What's wrong?
22:01Even the king
22:01looked confused.
22:02Caspian's eyes
22:03filled with malice.
22:04He doesn't want
22:05you, Florence.
22:08Do you think
22:09everyone loves you?
22:10Arthur's eyes
22:11were so gentle.
22:12They were filled
22:13with deep love.
22:14Princess,
22:15let me try alone.
22:17I was stunned
22:18for a moment.
22:19He gently
22:20squeezed my hand.
22:22This lightning
22:23is dangerous.
22:23I know you
22:24are very strong,
22:25but you are
22:26a phoenix.
22:27If you get hurt
22:28by lightning,
22:28it will damage
22:29your foundation.
22:30I don't want
22:31that for you.
22:32I looked
22:33into his serious
22:34eyes.
22:34My heart
22:35skipped a beat.
22:36Before I could
22:37think clearly,
22:38Arthur let go
22:39of my hand.
22:39The golden water
22:40moved as he walked.
22:43Arthur sat
22:44in the trial ground.
22:45His shirt
22:46was soaked through.
22:47You could see
22:48his muscles.
22:49The thunder
22:50began to gather.
22:51People watched
22:52with admiration.
22:53Then they looked
22:54disappointed.
22:55Next second,
22:56the bolt struck.
22:57It was like
22:58a flying dragon.
22:59It crashed
23:00into the trial ground.
23:01Everyone was shocked.
23:03This first bolt
23:04was terrifying.
23:05It was stronger
23:06than others' third.
23:07It proved
23:08his power was deep.
23:09The scoffers
23:11were now stunned.
23:12I couldn't help
23:13but smile.
23:14In the past,
23:15he took five.
23:16One of the
23:17things he took
23:18was dead.
23:20I thought
23:21he was dead
23:21but he sat
23:23still like a mountain.
23:24I looked at him
23:26with worry.
23:26He was covered
23:27in wounds.
23:28He had reached
23:29his limit.
23:31He just smiled
23:32at me.
23:33He signaled.
23:34A huge light
23:35crashed down.
23:36After a few seconds,
23:37it cleared.
23:38He surpassed
23:39his past life.
23:40He took six bolts
23:42alone.
23:42He is now
23:43the top dead.
23:44He stood up,
23:46shaking slightly.
23:47He bowed
23:48to the king.
23:49The king looked
23:50very pleased.
23:51As he walked
23:52out of the trial ground,
23:53I suddenly spoke up.
23:55I walked
23:55toward him slowly.
23:57His eyes widened
23:58a little.
23:59The clouds gathered
24:00again.
24:01He shouted.
24:02I held his hand
24:03calm him.
24:04This day
24:04will be alleged.
24:06Arthur took
24:06six bolts
24:07a day.
24:08With my help,
24:09he took
24:09three more.
24:10You
