00:00Deep in the Atlantic, an ancient and mysterious race flourishes.
00:06Tonight, King Kyrian of the City of Kings will personally participate in the selection of a bride.
00:13Gentlemen are welcome to present floral garlands to their loved ones.
00:17Those without a garland will become a gift for the monarch from our City of Defenses.
00:26Kyrian, is he a bloodthirsty tyrant?
00:30Which unfortunate princess do you think will be chosen to serve the tyrant?
00:33Is that even a question? It's obviously the one that's least favored.
00:40Terran and I grew up together. Last night he said he would choose me.
00:45To be my knight.
00:49Begin.
01:05The final Ruth belongs to Princess Olin.
01:12Thank you, Terran.
01:25Why? We had a deal. He promised me the wreath.
01:27Because you must leave the Acropolis, Vayner.
01:29This place will soon become hell.
01:48Marrying that tyrant, she probably wouldn't survive the wedding night.
01:52A child born out of Weddock really thought she could soar to the top branch?
01:58Vayner, you...
02:00You should be proud.
02:02You have contributed to the peace of our family.
02:05I must escape.
02:13The candidate for the marriage...
02:16Who is...
02:18Oh...
02:21O'..
02:25The volunteer...
02:29The player...
02:31Is that...
02:34I?
02:44I?
02:51My Lord Kian, the choice is made. The girl is Vena. We offer her to you.
02:55Your name is Vena?
02:59Sunrise, she comes with me. One second late. I'll wipe this city off the map.
03:07Wipe it off the map? He'd really do it. He'd actually do it.
03:15It's Olin's coming of age tonight. I promised her a night she'd never forget.
03:19Your sacrifice brings honor to the wreath.
03:23But after tonight, I'm getting shipped off to marry that monster.
03:31I'm so sorry, Vena. This is all my fault.
03:36Don't be silly, baby. That wreath was always yours. She was never worthy of it.
03:41If you really wanted it that bad, Vena, I could give it back.
03:46But it looks like you've got yourself a much prettier one from his lordship now, don't you?
03:54You know that's not what I...
04:02Look at you. Just look at yourself.
04:06You're a disgrace to this house.
04:11You're right. Enough.
04:13My Lord. The girl.
04:15Vena. She's the one.
04:17The one you've been looking for.
04:25It's okay. I'm right here.
04:28Just breathe.
04:32Here. Take it.
04:35It was my mother's.
04:36It'll keep you safe.
04:37With this, just stay alive.
04:40What's your name?
04:42Vena.
04:43My name's Vena.
04:51Finally.
04:52I found you.
04:54My savior.
05:04Listen to me.
05:05What I said out there, I had to.
05:07I needed you to hate me.
05:08So everyone could watch me get played for a fool?
05:14No.
05:15That you would leave.
05:17Before it turns into hell.
05:18And Olin?
05:26I don't love her.
05:28Then you're even worse than I thought.
05:29I love you, Vena.
05:31I always have.
05:32The wreath was meant for you.
05:33I bribed the Northgate guards.
05:35Before sunrise, I'll get you out.
05:37Trust me one more time.
05:39Don't.
05:40You don't mean that.
05:41I don't love you, Taryn.
05:42Not anymore.
05:43And after this, we can't even be friends.
05:45You made sure of that.
05:48Fine.
05:50Don't come crying to me when they come for you.
05:52You always have been.
05:58The wreath.
05:59The promise.
06:01Just a tool to save her life.
06:08You did well tonight, Olin.
06:10Taryn has given his word.
06:11Once Vena's marriage is settled, House Othrian will support us.
06:19Why, Father?
06:21Why do you care so much about her?
06:23She's just a bastard.
06:29You don't understand.
06:30Her mother, she had power we couldn't control.
06:34Power that could destroy this family.
06:48Vena, I don't care who your mother was.
06:50I am the true heir.
06:52You'll see.
06:54In the end, you're nothing but a stray.
07:15I must leave.
07:17Then find a way to take what mother left me.
07:20Vena, stop!
07:23Jared.
07:24Out there, there are things you don't understand.
07:26Things that will destroy you.
07:32Please!
07:34Vena!
07:36Dangerous?
07:37More dangerous than marrying a tyrant?
07:58This power, it's mine.
08:18It seems someone wishes to break the marriage pact.
08:26The Acropolis waters are my domain, Kairion.
08:28I will not let you take her.
08:30Never!
08:32Your domain.
08:34All of Atlantis belongs to the Othium family.
08:37Whom I take requires no one's permission.
08:43No!
08:45No!
08:45No!
08:45No!
08:46No!
08:53No!
08:56No!
09:06I'll go with you.
09:10Not because of your threats.
09:11Because I don't want to become a monster like them.
09:14Those who keep saying,
09:15they're doing it for my good,
09:17yet sacrifice me as an offering at the last moment.
09:20And you saw just now.
09:22There's something in me that I don't understand.
09:24I don't want to be dragged around by it like a blind woman.
09:27I want to master it.
09:28Control it.
09:29Own it.
09:33Interesting.
09:40I don't blame you.
09:41I don't blame you.
09:42I deserve this.
09:43But I won't give up!
09:51Why does she deserve it all?
10:02From this day forward,
10:03Verna of the Norris family is a guest of the royal city.
10:08No one shall treat her with disrespect.
10:18You're afraid of me.
10:19Should I not fear someone who treats me as a trophy?
10:23I've dug into your past.
10:24Illegitimate daughter of House Norris,
10:26your mother died young,
10:27your father couldn't care less.
10:28Your only inheritance,
10:29a palace overrun by sea demons.
10:31Do you want it back?
10:33How do you know all this?
10:34Because I wanted to know.
10:37I can give you an army to take back everything that's yours.
10:46I've had my fill of simpleng princesses.
10:48I want a true queen.
10:49One who stands beside me,
10:51not cowering in my shadow.
10:53That rift is growing.
10:54I need a queen who can guard the rear,
10:56one who won't bury a blade in my back the moment I turn away.
10:59How do you know I won't?
11:03Because ten years ago you gave me your heart.
11:06Now I need you to unlock it with your own hands.
11:11If you live,
11:13you must come back for me.
11:17It was you.
11:18The injured little boy.
11:21I've tried countless times over the past decade.
11:28Call upon your strength.
12:05Veyna.
12:07My power.
12:08I leave it to you.
12:24Sharing a soul weapon is the highest
12:26Symbotic Kapokht in Atlantis
12:29You've given me half your life
12:34I knew it the first moment I laid eyes on you
12:37You're not some princess waiting to be saved
12:40You're a beast waiting to be woken
12:44Just like me
12:49Fine
12:52I accept
12:53I want an army
12:54I want power to rival the queen of a century ago
12:59And I will take back everything that belonged to my mother
13:05Good
13:10From this day forward you're no longer a caged bird
13:21You're my general now
13:34Anger is your weapon
13:36But don't let it ride you
13:38Control it
13:40Master it
13:43What about the
13:46Oh right
14:07I've said
14:10I'm making great
14:29Finally, you've learned to fight back.
14:37Did I improve this time?
14:38You barely passed.
14:50Don't get cocky.
15:05You'll tear it right off.
15:11Easy!
15:13Now you feel it? You slammed into that wall seven times today. Didn't see you flinch once.
15:16You kept counting pretty well. Looked like you were enjoying yourself.
15:22No. It hurt.
15:27Are you going to finish the medicine or not?
15:35Does it hurt?
15:38Not anymore.
15:39No more.
15:58My wife.
15:59I must be out of my mind falling in love with a tyrant like you.
16:04I love you too.
16:04I love you too.
16:07I love you too.
16:14Welcome, General Mina!
16:35Vena.
16:37You've changed so much.
16:38What do you want?
16:39Your father's birthday banquet.
16:41He demands your return.
16:43And a tribute, gifts and jewels.
16:45Inabundant.
16:47I hadn't come for you yet.
16:48And here you are.
16:49Coming for me.
16:50Tell my father I'll attend.
16:52On time.
16:53With the tribute he asked for.
16:55Vera, the Acropolis now-
16:56I know.
16:56The rift.
16:57The things that come out of it.
16:59That's what you meant when you said the Acropolis would become hell.
17:02For pushing me away.
17:04If it weren't for you I might still be trapped in that cage you built for me.
17:13You're going back?
17:14Yes.
17:15My mother's legacy is there.
17:16I'm taking it back with my own hands.
17:18Consider it my dowie.
17:22That girl, the brave one who saved my life, I'll stand behind her no conditions.
17:27You've become my one weakness.
17:28So you'll stay by my side.
17:30For life.
17:31As my queen.
17:32Then my dowry might be a little full of treasure.
17:34And an ancient sea monster.
17:36Perfect.
17:37I've got my own score to settle with your family.
17:47Let's go, Kyrian.
17:48Go tell them.
17:49I'm back.
17:51For everything that's mine.
18:02Two blessings tonight.
18:04My birthday.
18:05And my wayward daughter returning to the fold.
18:09Wayward.
18:10What a delicate way to put it.
18:21My daughter.
18:22You've returned.
18:23Where are the gifts?
18:25Here.
18:28One question first.
18:30Was my mother stripped of her power for breaking the law or for exposing what you were hiding?
18:35Don't bother.
18:36I'll take what's hers myself.
18:40What is that thing?
18:41I am the dowry.
18:42Her power.
18:43Her palace.
18:44Her humiation.
18:45Her truth.
18:46Her revenge.
18:47All of it.
18:48My dowry.
18:51Take it?
18:53More than anything.
18:55Lady Serafina is exonerated.
18:57Every house involved.
18:58Surrender the guilty within three days.
19:00Fail and it's war.
19:02Patriarch Norris.
19:03Your banquet is over.
19:05Sabrina was murdered?
19:12This is what you've been holding back.
19:14Just the beginning.
19:16The real threat is still sleeping.
19:18My mother, it was because of this.
19:20Yes.
19:21They built their fortunes in that vein.
19:23And they'll do anything to bury the truth.
19:26That the vein feeds an ancient calamity waking beneath us.
19:30Then they'll know.
19:31Everyone will.
19:32I've been waiting for that.
19:41Can't sleep?
19:44Thinking about my mother.
19:47Wondering if she saw the same thing from this window.
19:52When did you know it was me?
19:53On the sea.
19:54The moment you unleashed that water blade.
19:57Your power and the power inside this stone.
20:00Same route.
20:02So you never came for a bride?
20:05I came for one person.
20:07A girl who pulled me back from death ten years ago.
20:09She asked for nothing.
20:12I just couldn't let someone die.
20:14That was enough.
20:16The first time anyone wanted me to live.
20:18For nothing in return.
20:19All these years, every time I was close to breaking, I'd hear your voice.
20:23Dolphins guided the good ones home.
20:26I'm not good.
20:28But I want to be someone you lead home.
20:30You already are.
20:32From the moment you rode that beast through the door.
20:36I'm not good.
20:38I'm not good.
20:51I was.
20:53I'm not good.
20:55I'm not a mare.
21:02and Corpse, the Whale Riders, and the Ababiss Vanguard are yours.
21:07General Fina!
21:092. I, Kieran Othian, swear by my sole weapon, I take Vayna Serafina as my queen, to rule
21:17beside me. Her enemies, mine. Her will, my command. Her vengeance, my war.
21:322. It's getting wider.
21:47Sooner or later it'll wake. Fully. And all of Atlantis will answer for it.
21:55Are you afraid?
21:59I was. Afraid I'd never find you. Afraid I'd face it alone. Now. Not afraid anymore.
22:08Why?
22:09Because you're here.
22:12Together.
22:13Together.
22:26Together.
22:30The Real War.
