00:00:01Get those banners hoisted. Straighten the garlands.
00:00:04Bring the wine to the guests. Now!
00:00:09Today's a blessed day. The old gods are smiling on us.
00:00:20Whose wretched carriage is this?
00:00:22Have you any idea what day it is?
00:00:24You're blocking Lady Isabella's path on her wedding day.
00:00:28Bring me a listen.
00:00:29You dare speak his name? You're not fit to breathe the same air.
00:00:34I am Morgana. I have come to collect what is mine.
00:00:43I'll fetch him right away!
00:00:48Sixty years. You've had my eyes. Now I want them back.
00:00:53A grand day. My daughter marries a prince.
00:00:57My lord! My lord!
00:01:00Control yourself.
00:01:02A woman at the gates. She says her name is Morgana. She demands to see you. Now.
00:01:12Morgana.
00:01:14Forgive me. I didn't know you were coming. House Alistram is yours. Show us mercy.
00:01:20My lord. You are a duke. You kneel to no one but the king.
00:01:23One more word. And I'll cut it out myself.
00:01:28And I'll cut it out myself.
00:01:28My lady. Please.
00:01:47Mind the steps, my lady.
00:01:53the sky turns.
00:02:04Sixty years ago.
00:02:06I broke myself into twelve embers.
00:02:10The throne was secured.
00:02:13It is time.
00:02:19To reclaim them all.
00:02:25I assumed we were hosting royalty.
00:02:29For my husband to grovel so.
00:02:32To greet you himself.
00:02:33I simply had to see who...
00:02:44Magana, was it?
00:02:46You are a guest in my halls.
00:02:49Drink.
00:02:54Your wine, my lady.
00:02:56A blind witch.
00:02:59This shall prove to you.
00:03:09But I told them to boil it.
00:03:12Doorish vintage.
00:03:14Pity it turned to vinegar.
00:03:16Masked with heavy spice.
00:03:20Poured from the rot at the bottom of your cellar.
00:03:23Is this how House Alistair hides its decay?
00:03:26How could she possibly smell that?
00:03:28She knows.
00:03:29How could she know?
00:03:30You insolent wretch.
00:03:33Keep your filthy mouth.
00:03:38By his wits alone did Lord Alistair survive.
00:03:42Isabella, your gown.
00:03:43A tragedy.
00:03:44His bloodline rots with you.
00:03:47How dare you?
00:03:48My husband may tolerate your delusions.
00:03:51But I will not.
00:03:52You just assaulted the future crown princess.
00:03:55By royal decree, you will kneel and you will bleed for it.
00:03:58But she is a fool.
00:04:00You are worse.
00:04:02Even the gods of the underworld have yet to see me kneel.
00:04:07Why would you?
00:04:09We shall see.
00:04:12Gods, take her!
00:04:17And break her legs.
00:04:19Do it.
00:04:25Seize her!
00:04:26Now!
00:04:27Now!
00:04:41Stop!
00:04:43Stop this at once!
00:04:45Fools!
00:04:49Morgana.
00:04:50They know nothing.
00:04:52They acted out of turn.
00:04:54Spare them.
00:04:55I beg of you.
00:04:57Alistair.
00:04:58Father!
00:04:59Both of you.
00:05:00You blind, arrogant fools.
00:05:03She chose restraint.
00:05:04Or you would already be ashes upon this floor.
00:05:07On your knees.
00:05:09Beg for your lives.
00:05:12I bow to no one.
00:05:14I am the future crown princess.
00:05:16I will wear the crown.
00:05:18I will rule this realm.
00:05:22I will rule this realm.
00:05:23I am a queen.
00:05:24She is just a...
00:05:29A pity.
00:05:32No crown rests on a dead woman.
00:05:37You will die before the wedding bells ring.
00:05:55You.
00:05:58You!
00:05:59Get out of my house!
00:06:00Silence your tongue!
00:06:03Morgana, please.
00:06:04How do we stop this?
00:06:06Call off the royal wedding
00:06:08Break betrothal
00:06:12Or
00:06:13She dies
00:06:23The royal escort led by the obsidian guard
00:06:26Commander Cedric himself
00:06:28The reaper of the realm
00:06:36The prophecy is written
00:06:42And the king's edict
00:06:53Commander Cedric
00:06:54You heard the prophecy
00:06:55If Isabella rides to the palace today
00:06:57It will be her funeral
00:07:00The crown
00:07:01Commands this union, Lord Alistair
00:07:04My escort is already at your gates
00:07:07You dare defy the throne over cheap politrix
00:07:11And break the royal contract
00:07:13Unless
00:07:15You doubt my ability to keep her breathing
00:07:20No, Commander
00:07:21Your blade is legendary
00:07:22Your tactics flawless
00:07:24The king trusts no other
00:07:25She is safe with you
00:07:28But
00:07:29Morgana has seen it
00:07:30She is our only hope
00:07:33Alistair
00:07:33The king's patience is not infinite
00:07:36Do not humiliate us for a blind witch
00:07:39The crown's wrath will burn this castle to the ground
00:07:42I will not let you ruin us
00:07:44She is right, father
00:07:46I am perfectly safe with the commander
00:07:49Have the carriage ready
00:07:50I will fetch my veil
00:07:57Isabella
00:07:58Let her go
00:07:59Let her go
00:08:00The hour is set
00:08:01My debt shall be claimed
00:08:03When the blood runs dry
00:08:11Play the prophet
00:08:13Watch her cross those gates alive
00:08:18I'll feel the blood
00:08:21Bring the oracle a horse
00:08:23Bring the oracle a horse
00:09:10Take them to the iron court
00:09:12I want a name
00:09:14Yes, Commander
00:09:22Thank the gods Cedric was here
00:09:25We're safe
00:09:26He earned his coin
00:09:30You fight well, mortal
00:09:33Pity it changes nothing
00:09:35I do not guess
00:09:38The grave is dug
00:09:40The hour is here
00:09:42Step forward, future Empress
00:09:51Isabella
00:09:52Isabella
00:09:52My love, finally
00:09:58No!
00:09:59God!
00:10:07I'm ready, father
00:10:08The crown is mine
00:10:10Our legacy begins
00:10:14My daughter
00:10:15Our ultimate masterpiece
00:10:20Lock it down
00:10:21Double guards
00:10:22Kill anything that moves
00:10:23Nothing
00:10:24Touch that carriage
00:10:25Are we clear?
00:10:27Crystal clear, captain
00:10:28Consider it done
00:10:29You're wasting men
00:10:32The prophecy has spoken
00:10:34The bride won't survive this journey
00:10:36I am never wrong
00:10:39Enlighten me then, oracle
00:10:40Give me a name
00:10:41How exactly does she die?
00:10:44Give me real intel
00:10:46Do that, I might believe you
00:10:48Seeing the end requires a price
00:10:50A transaction
00:10:51I see the blood
00:10:53The question is
00:10:55Can you afford it?
00:10:58There it is
00:10:59The classic shakedown
00:11:00We always get here
00:11:01Just a beggar
00:11:02I could watch the Duke's daughter
00:11:04In her wedding dress
00:11:05Perfectly protected by your elite guards
00:11:07Ride straight to her execution
00:11:09Let me ride with your convoy
00:11:12Take me
00:11:14I'll prove you wrong
00:11:15I see the threads
00:11:21Every drop of blood
00:11:23Before it falls
00:11:24The end is written
00:11:26You're just walking the path blind
00:11:29Cut the riddles
00:11:30You're in my cell now
00:11:34If you see everything
00:11:36Then what happens next?
00:11:38Does the blade slip?
00:11:40Does the steel bite?
00:11:42Or maybe I'm just sick of your games
00:11:43And slit your throat right now
00:11:44Did you see that?
00:11:50A seer is blind to her own end
00:11:52That is the only law I obey
00:11:56Then tell me how this ends
00:11:58But you cannot kill me, Cedric
00:12:03Let's put that to the test
00:12:06Steel cannot touch me
00:12:11By drawing it on me
00:12:12You owe a deadly debt
00:12:14Madness
00:12:14I serve the crown
00:12:16I don't fear witches
00:12:20Still believe in hard facts, Commander?
00:12:24Commander!
00:12:25We have a situation
00:12:26The prisoners from the ambush, sir
00:12:28They took poison
00:12:30Hidden in their teeth
00:12:31They're all dead
00:12:32Trails cold
00:12:34Dead?
00:12:34You let our only witnesses die in chains?
00:12:37They were paid to die
00:12:38They'd never talk
00:12:40You want the true killer?
00:12:42Stop asking the living
00:12:44They only lie
00:12:45I'll make the dead speak
00:12:58The prophecy
00:12:59She knew
00:13:01How?
00:13:02She was right there
00:13:03The prophecy is fulfilled
00:13:06Her blood is spilled
00:13:08You killed my daughter!
00:13:10Your daughter's death was a tragedy
00:13:12Eleanor, don't provoke her
00:13:13Look at the carriage!
00:13:15The doors were sealed!
00:13:16Who else could bypass those locks?
00:13:19Enough!
00:13:19Seal the gates!
00:13:21Nobody leaves this yort yard!
00:13:23You're all suspects
00:13:24Take them to the iron court!
00:13:31We're alone
00:13:32Just tell me the damn truth
00:13:34How did you reach inside
00:13:36A moving, heavily guarded carriage
00:13:38And take her head
00:13:39Without a single sound?
00:13:41You mapped out her execution beforehand
00:13:44Fine
00:13:46Say you didn't swing the blade yourself
00:13:50But you orchestrated this
00:13:53If that comforts you
00:13:55You may use it
00:14:01You said you could make the dead speak
00:14:03Name your price
00:14:05There's always a price with you
00:14:07Always
00:14:07Name it
00:14:08Whatever closes this investigation
00:14:11I want your absolute obedience
00:14:15When I speak
00:14:16You do not question
00:14:18When I point
00:14:19You do not hesitate
00:14:20My loyalty is to the crown
00:14:23I don't give blind trust
00:14:24I have the killer
00:14:26If you put the murderer in front of me
00:14:29Then you have my trust
00:14:31Don't make a vow
00:14:33You can't keep, commander
00:14:34You have my word
00:14:35I won't break it
00:14:41Take this
00:14:42Sew her head back on
00:14:44You want me to mutilate a royal corpse?
00:14:47Every second you wait
00:14:48She fades
00:14:53Her soul is bleeding out
00:14:56It's done
00:14:57What now?
00:15:00Open the doors
00:15:02Bring them all
00:15:03The grieving father
00:15:05The weeping mother
00:15:08Bring the prince
00:15:09Who lost his bride
00:15:10We are going to hold
00:15:11A court of our own
00:15:19Isabella
00:15:19My baby
00:15:21Oh god
00:15:22Hold her back
00:15:23Don't let her touch the body
00:15:24Let me go
00:15:25That's my daughter
00:15:26Why is she here?
00:15:28Why is that blind woman
00:15:29In the judge's seat?
00:15:31Commander Ashworth
00:15:32She killed her
00:15:34She cursed my daughter
00:15:35And you let her sit there
00:15:37His royal highness
00:15:38Prince Kale
00:15:40Isabella
00:15:41Let me through
00:15:42Isabella
00:15:43No
00:15:44Look what they did to you
00:15:46My beautiful girl
00:15:47The audience is here
00:15:49Let the performance end
00:15:53Flesh to thread
00:15:55Bone to command
00:15:57Rise
00:16:04You demanded proof
00:16:06You demanded proof
00:16:06Commander
00:16:07Behold the truth
00:16:09You wove the crimson
00:16:12Soul thread yourself
00:16:13The bond is forged
00:16:16Ask her
00:16:18Isabella Alistam
00:16:20Is your killer here?
00:16:46Keep that thing away
00:16:48She's bewitched
00:16:55The crown is ours, father
00:17:11Edmund Alliston
00:17:18Now confess
00:17:24Edmund Alliston
00:17:25Do you confess?
00:17:27I confess to nothing
00:17:29You sick witch
00:17:31You killed her
00:17:32You puppeted her corpse
00:17:34To frame us
00:17:35He took you in
00:17:37You repay us with blood
00:17:39This is madness
00:17:41A father doesn't slaughter
00:17:44His own blood
00:17:45Isabella was my pride
00:17:48Why would I destroy
00:17:49My own future?
00:17:51See the truth
00:17:52His own blood
00:17:53That's true
00:17:55But what if that girl
00:17:57Was never your blood at all?
00:18:00Eleanor
00:18:01Why did the emperor
00:18:03Betroth Isabella
00:18:04To prince Kael
00:18:05It was destiny
00:18:06The emperor declared it
00:18:08They were born
00:18:09The exact same hour
00:18:12Blessed by the gods
00:18:15Wait
00:18:16It's impossible
00:18:18Edmund tell me you didn't
00:18:21I had to secure
00:18:23Our bloodline
00:18:27Give me the child
00:18:28I must see
00:18:30Tell the truth
00:18:31Is it a boy?
00:18:33A girl
00:18:34My lady
00:18:34A girl?
00:18:36No
00:18:36You're lying
00:18:37A daughter
00:18:38Just as I said
00:18:40Why me?
00:18:45The consort is waiting
00:18:46If it's a boy
00:18:47I'm ruined
00:18:49Breathe
00:18:50My lady
00:18:50Panic is a luxury
00:18:52We can't afford
00:18:52Duke Alistair
00:18:54Has already arranged
00:18:54A solution
00:18:55Bring the bundle inside
00:18:56Now
00:19:01Look closely
00:19:02Pure Alistair blood
00:19:04A flawless son
00:19:06Yours
00:19:06If you dare
00:19:09A son
00:19:11From now on
00:19:12You are mine
00:19:13The true heir
00:19:15Of this house
00:19:16My son
00:19:18My heir
00:19:39You're telling this court
00:19:41I'm Duke Alistair's son
00:19:43No
00:19:44No
00:19:44No
00:19:46I am the crown prince
00:19:51It can't be
00:19:52How could my husband
00:19:53Do such a thing?
00:19:55This is treason
00:19:56What could he possibly want
00:19:58To risk all our lives?
00:20:00What did he want?
00:20:01Your son
00:20:02Sitting on the throne
00:20:03That's what he wanted
00:20:07You need proof
00:20:09To make such claims
00:20:10This dark sorcery
00:20:11Proves absolutely nothing
00:20:13Lord Alistair
00:20:14If I had to guess
00:20:16The moment the emperor
00:20:17Degreed Isabella's marriage
00:20:18You realized
00:20:19If she entered the royal court
00:20:21The crown would eventually
00:20:22Discover her secret
00:20:22So you hired
00:20:24A pack of mercenaries
00:20:25To stage a bandit raid
00:20:26On the carriage
00:20:26But Morgana's warning
00:20:28Put my guard on alert
00:20:29You feared with extra men
00:20:30Your hired killers
00:20:31Wouldn't be able
00:20:32To finish the job
00:20:32So you killed your own daughter
00:20:34Before she left
00:20:35And as for your loyal servants
00:20:36They break much faster
00:20:38Than paid assassins
00:20:39Commander
00:20:39Commander Ashworth
00:20:40Lord Alistair's personal guard
00:20:42They've confessed to everything
00:20:43The signed confessions
00:20:44They admit the duke
00:20:46Ordered them to silence Isabella
00:20:48Before she even left
00:20:53My entire life of scheming
00:20:57All crushed by fate's cruel hand
00:21:00The eye you granted us
00:21:02Gave House Alistair
00:21:04Absolute power
00:21:05Unmatched wealth
00:21:07Unmatched glory
00:21:08But the emperor
00:21:10Still stood above me
00:21:11Until that day
00:21:13When I saw
00:21:16I saw
00:21:17I saw the truth
00:21:24If my son took the cradle
00:21:27He'd rule
00:21:28He'd rule the world
00:21:29But the vision
00:21:30Didn't end there
00:21:31I saw the floor
00:21:33That would kill us
00:21:33The decree
00:21:35The royal wedding
00:21:37If Isabella
00:21:38Entered that palace
00:21:39He would see
00:21:41My daughter
00:21:43He'd see the exact face
00:21:45Of the young empress
00:21:46He's not blind
00:21:49He'd know exactly
00:21:50What I did
00:21:51I had no choice
00:21:53You must see that
00:21:54I had to cut the rot out
00:21:57I had to protect my family
00:21:59My son will be emperor
00:22:01I had to
00:22:07Morgana, I confess it all
00:22:08Punish me alone
00:22:10I beg you
00:22:11Look at me
00:22:12Remember my father's loyalty
00:22:15Spare my wife
00:22:16He's lying
00:22:17We knew nothing
00:22:19Please
00:22:19I'm begging you

00:29:34does she really despise me that much
00:29:37why do you think she treats you
00:29:39with such coldness
00:29:41because of what i did
00:29:43she hates me
00:29:45when i was a boy
00:29:47i almost died
00:29:48my sister came for me
00:29:50and the iron drove
00:29:51through her right arm
00:29:52in my place
00:29:53she was never the same again
00:29:58she was a master healer
00:30:00those gifted hands
00:30:02she could bring the dying
00:30:03back to life
00:30:04but because of me
00:30:05the scar on her arm
00:30:06never faded
00:30:07and she was taken
00:30:08from me forever
00:30:09she became a completely
00:30:10different person
00:30:11after that
00:30:12the hartman shard
00:30:13was hers by birthright
00:30:15with its power
00:30:16she became the greatest
00:30:17healer in the kingdom
00:30:18and then they sent her
00:30:19far away
00:30:20to a quiet abbey
00:30:21where she could practice
00:30:22in peace
00:30:23but i know the truth
00:30:25that day
00:30:27became a thorn in her heart
00:30:28one that will never be pulled out
00:30:30every time she looks at me
00:30:32she remembers what saving me cost her
00:30:34everything is bound by consequence commander

00:38:35wake up
00:38:41what's happening
00:39:00wake up
00:39:03wake up
00:39:07no
00:39:07No! How did this happen?
00:39:13You stole my magic, but you never asked, when the spell steals a living spark, whose spark does it take?
00:39:23Move along. Get out. Move before I drag you out.
00:39:29Know who stands before you.
00:39:31My lord, I did not know.
00:39:33Maren.
00:39:34My lord, you're mistaken. She's not Maren.
00:39:37She's just an old crone. Nothing more. My lord.
00:39:41Get out.
00:39:42Yes, my lord.
00:39:48My lord, I'm nobody. Just an old crone. Nobody of importance. Just a servant.
00:39:55This is the inner sanctum.
00:39:56Only the bloodline, only the Hartman Shard-bearer can come here.
00:40:02Let me see you.
00:40:12That scar...
00:40:14Where did this scar come from?
00:40:17Only Maren bore this mark.
00:40:20Maren?
00:40:24Why didn't you tell me?
00:40:29Whose life did you think you were spending?
00:40:31The Ashworth Empire isn't built on medicine. It's built on a parasite.
00:40:36It trades your years for theirs.
00:40:39A simple fever costs you a month. A fatal wound strips the youth right off your bones.
00:40:48Sick Empress was already dead. Her time was up.
00:40:52Give her every hour you have left. It won't buy her a single day.
00:40:57Then what about Maren? Explain Maren!
00:41:01She bore the Shard for thirty years. Pulled thousands from the grave.
00:41:05Then she should be dust! She should be a rotting corpse!
00:41:08Why is she flawless? Why not her? Look at me! It took everything! My... My skin! My life! Why just
00:41:18me?
00:41:19You said she was perfect.
00:41:22Cedric, you believe she hid from you for ten years.
00:41:25It never crossed your mind that the woman she became was standing right in front of you.
00:41:32And you looked right through her.
00:41:34Stop. What does that mean?
00:41:37You're a commander. Open your eyes.
00:41:40Every year on your birthday, that old servant, the only one who still cooks for you...
00:41:45Who is she, Cedric?
00:41:50Lord Cedric, wait!
00:41:52You can't go in!
00:41:53My lord! She said no visitors!
00:41:55My lord!
00:42:02Maren.
00:42:04Gods.
00:42:05It's really you.
00:42:09Why?
00:42:10All these years, why didn't you tell me?
00:42:13Every time I used the Shard, it stole a year of my life.
00:42:18Burned away.
00:42:19Then one morning, I looked in the glass.
00:42:22White hair.
00:42:23Hands shaking like a crone.
00:42:25Maren! Let me in!
00:42:27My lord, no!
00:42:28Get off!
00:42:29I want my sister!
00:42:31Let me go!
00:42:33Maren!
00:42:34I couldn't let you see a monster.
00:42:37No. Stop it.
00:42:39Don't ever say that.
00:42:40Look at me.
00:42:41You are Maren.
00:42:43The bravest person I know.
00:42:45But I abandoned you.
00:42:47You gave me your entire life.
00:42:49And I was blind.
00:42:51I didn't see my own sister.
00:42:53I'm sorry.
00:42:54Oh, my brave little brother.
00:42:56It's all right now.
00:43:05Cedric, tomorrow is your name day.
00:43:08I haven't made your broth yet.
00:43:10Maren, please.
00:43:12Just rest.
00:43:13You made it for me every year.
00:43:15My whole life.
00:43:16Tomorrow, I'll make it for you.
00:43:24This is my fault.
00:43:25I looked right at her and saw nothing.
00:43:27She hid her hands, traded her life away, and I just stood there.
00:43:31He used the Heartmen Shard to drain her year by year while I watched and called it nothing.
00:43:36She made a choice.
00:43:38The Shard needed a vessel.
00:43:40She offered herself.
00:43:42She healed them.
00:43:43She gave them time.
00:43:45She gave you time.
00:43:47That was all she ever wanted.
00:43:48I looked right past her for years.
00:43:52Thank you for stripping away every excuse I had.
00:43:55I have her back.
00:43:57Whatever it costs you, I swear on my blade I will repay that debt.
00:44:01She hasn't eaten in days.
00:44:02I made this for her.
00:44:03I don't know if she'll want it, but I need to give her something.
00:44:06I'm going to take it to her now.
00:44:07Wait.
00:44:09Something wrong?
00:44:12It's nothing.
00:44:13Go to her.
00:44:14I won't be long.
00:44:25Maren!
00:44:26Maren, wake up!
00:44:28No, no, please!
00:44:29Maren!
00:44:31The scale always balances.
00:44:35Get away from me!
00:44:38Don't touch me!
00:44:40I want my sister!
00:44:42Get away!
00:44:44Where is she?
00:44:49I want my sister!
00:44:52Cedric.
00:44:53I'm here.
00:44:55Look at me.
00:44:56Don't touch me!
00:44:57You old witch!
00:45:02She's dead, isn't she?
00:45:04She left me.
00:45:05Everyone always leaves!
00:45:08But I'm staying.
00:45:10To a legion.
00:45:12I'm not going anywhere.
00:45:14I'm here.
00:45:16Right here.
00:45:17I've got you.
00:45:23Lord Ashworth, she saved my family.
00:45:26She saved so many.
00:45:28We had to come.
00:45:30Everyone knew how much she meant to you, my lord.
00:45:32Her loss leaves a wound in all of us.
00:45:35She gave everything.
00:45:37Healed strangers.
00:45:39Never once asked for anything in return.
00:45:41Even when it broke her.
00:45:44Even when it cost her.
00:45:46Her life.
00:45:48I watched her disappear.
00:45:50Day by day.
00:45:52If the gods would take me instead,
00:45:54I'd go willingly.
00:45:55And yet you stood there.
00:45:58Every scar on her body,
00:46:00every year taken from her.
00:46:02His hands did that.
00:46:04All of it.
00:46:06Every shriveled vein on Maren's hands.
00:46:09Every year carved from her face.
00:46:11He arranged all of it.
00:46:13Her life meant nothing to him.
00:46:15He only cared about the gold.
00:46:17The price her dying breath could buy.
00:46:20Oracle, please.
00:46:22Everyone here knows the Ashworth name.
00:46:24We heal the sick.
00:46:26We never ask for coin.
00:46:27We serve the people.
00:46:29You cannot just walk in here
00:46:30and spread lies about my family.
00:46:35If you took no coin,
00:46:36then tell me what you've been hiding in the dark.
00:46:40Every transaction.
00:46:41Every name.
00:46:42Every debt you buried.
00:46:59These are property deeds.
00:47:01Hundreds of them.
00:47:02The Ashhouse fled the Highlords dry.
00:47:04In secret.
00:47:04They traded healing for mansions.
00:47:06For land.
00:47:08We thought you were a saint, Aldrich.
00:47:10You're nothing but a leech.
00:47:12A parasite.
00:47:13You stole my sister's life.
00:47:15You drained Maren dry to build your filthy empire
00:47:18and left her to rot in the dirt.
00:47:20She gave everything
00:47:21and you ground her bones into your crown.
00:47:24That is not the whole of his sin.
00:47:26When Maren's face withered from what he forced on her,
00:47:30he turned away from her.
00:47:32He took a lover in secret.
00:47:34A secret mistress.
00:47:36A hidden life.
00:47:38There is no one.
00:47:39You are lying!
00:47:40The child you had with her
00:47:42has been living under this very roof.
00:47:43You call her your ward.
00:47:45You let her do as she pleases.
00:47:48Do you deny that Selene is your blood?
00:47:52You gave Selene full run of this house.
00:47:55Is she your bastard?
00:47:57Is that why you let her destroy my sister?
00:48:00Oracle.
00:48:02I have always bowed to your vision.
00:48:04You cannot lay this at my feet.
00:48:06I am innocent if there was money
00:48:08missing from the patients.
00:48:10Maren did it herself.
00:48:12Plain greed.
00:48:13She used the sick to line her own pockets.
00:48:23Look out!
00:48:24Get back!
00:48:26That's gold.
00:48:27He hid it in the tablet.
00:48:32The heavens don't care for your lies.
00:48:34But I do.
00:48:36You built a dynasty on stolen breath.
00:48:39You are no heir to what I left here.
00:48:42You are a parasite.
00:48:45My sister is dead.
00:48:48She died a ruined servant under your roof.
00:48:52And you dare stand over her coffin and call her a thief!
00:48:56I will cut you apart right here.
00:48:58Cedric, be reasonable.
00:48:59Look at what she had become.
00:49:00Who could look at that face and not be sickened?
00:49:04You are no blood of mine.
00:49:06You are nothing to me.
00:49:08Is this my fault?
00:49:09I would have taken the burden on myself.
00:49:11I swear it!
00:49:12But the healer's grace, it binds only to the women.
00:49:15It rejected me.
00:49:16It was never my choice.
00:49:17We kept her fed.
00:49:19Kept a roof over her head.
00:49:20She owed this family her service.
00:49:23It was her duty to plead for us!
00:49:25A lie.
00:49:26I forged the healer's grace.
00:49:28I wrote its laws.
00:49:30It does not choose by blood or gender.
00:49:33It chooses by the will to sacrifice.
00:49:35It rejected you because it looked inside your chest and found nothing at all.
00:49:40You let a child wither in your place and called it fate.
00:49:44You said you wished to carry the burden.
00:49:47You wanted the Ember's power for yourself.
00:49:50You wanted it all.
00:49:53Very well.
00:49:57Let us see how much of it you can bear.
00:50:04Very well.
00:50:07Very well.
00:50:51Every year he stole from Maren.
00:50:54They just ripped it back.
00:51:14Maren!
00:51:15Can you hear me?
00:51:16Look at me!
00:51:20You...
00:51:20You came back.
00:51:27Remember your oath.
00:51:42The Hartman Shard.
00:51:44It's time it returned to you.
00:51:45You took another piece of your power straight into yourself.
00:51:49Will you absorb this one too?
00:51:50Good day.
00:52:04Go.
00:52:06Go.
00:52:08Go.
00:52:09Go.
00:52:10Go.
00:52:22Please help us have mercy
00:52:28You're breathing
00:52:29I watched you stop
00:52:31I thought you were gone
00:52:32You're shaking
00:52:34Your birthday is soon
00:52:36I still owe you bread and broth
00:52:39I'll make it myself
00:52:40Just don't close your eyes again
00:52:43Promise me that
00:52:44Her face still carries what the years cost her
00:52:48But the thirty years Aldric took from her
00:52:50Have been stripped from his bones
00:52:52They're hers now
00:52:53Her hand is healed
00:52:55The debt is paid
00:52:57She will never serve in the dark again
00:52:59She lives
00:53:00The transaction is complete
00:53:05Oracle
00:53:07You didn't owe us this
00:53:09I will carry this mercy until my last breath
00:53:17You gave my sister back her life
00:53:19My life is no longer my own
00:53:22It belongs to you
00:53:23Every breath I draw belongs to your cause
00:53:25I am your shield
00:53:27Your blade
00:53:28Point me at your enemies
00:53:29Wherever you walk
00:53:31I walk with you
00:53:32Until my blood runs cold
00:53:38Talk to me
00:53:40Did the exorcism drain you?
00:53:42Are you hurt?
00:53:43I am not hurt
00:53:44When I pulled the Hartman Shard from your sister
00:53:47I absorbed thirty years of her memories
00:53:49Every single day she spent trapped in that house
00:53:52There's an echo now
00:53:54A pressure in my chest
00:53:56You have a rule
00:53:57You reclaim a piece of your power
00:53:59You owe the bloodline one truth
00:54:00One ember
00:54:02One question
00:54:04Maren gave her whole youth
00:54:05To keep me alive
00:54:07She never got to ask her question
00:54:10Maren
00:54:11So I'll ask it for her
00:54:12Look into your prophecy, Morgana
00:54:14Did my sister's sacrifice mean anything?
00:54:17Tell me
00:54:20Your sister asked what waits for you in the north
00:54:22I didn't lie to her
00:54:23So I'll tell you exactly what I saw
00:54:26There is a line drawn across your fate
00:54:28A terminal point
00:54:30If you follow me to Ironwall
00:54:32If you walk into Ravencrest at my side
00:54:34You will stand before someone and bleed until there is nothing left
00:54:38And you will die
00:54:40That is the end of it
00:54:42In front of who?
00:54:43Who do I bleed for?
00:54:45Me
00:54:47Knowing this
00:54:49Knowing that every step north is a step towards your own grave
00:54:52And you still want to come with me
00:54:55Forget it
00:54:56It doesn't matter
00:55:00You are ordered to stay behind
00:55:02I walk into Ironwall alone
00:55:04I don't need a shield
00:55:06I swore an oath to you
00:55:08I stand between you and whatever comes
00:55:11I'm going
00:55:16I told you how this ends
00:55:19Are you not afraid?
00:55:22I lead the Obsidian Guard
00:55:24I have walked into the dark more times than I can count
00:55:28Every time they said I wouldn't walk out
00:55:32Every time they said the odds were broken
00:55:34And I am still standing here
00:55:36Let them come
00:55:37I will survive it
00:55:38And I will walk you out of Ironwall myself
00:55:44You must think I'm completely useless with a blade
00:55:46I've been sickly since childhood
00:55:48My sister-in-law handles the killing
00:55:50She lets me read instead
00:55:52I apologize for the gate
00:55:54It's just
00:55:55Lately
00:55:55The moment the sun sets
00:55:57The dead walk
00:55:58Vesta fears the undead soldiers
00:56:00Breaching the walls
00:56:01Slaughtering our people
00:56:02Please forgive the locked gates, my lady
00:56:04These undead outside your walls
00:56:06What is their origin?
00:56:08We don't know
00:56:09Not since my grandfather fell
00:56:10They don't discern friend from foe
00:56:13They just butcher
00:56:14For six months we've been trapped here
00:56:16Powerless
00:56:17Thorn was injured?
00:56:19Yes
00:56:20Ambushed by the dead weeks ago
00:56:21He hasn't woken since
00:56:25Take me to him
00:56:26Of course
00:56:27Finn!
00:56:34You dare test me, boy?
00:56:37Who authorized you to breach the protocol?
00:56:39Who gave you leave to welcome stray vagras into my fortress?
00:56:44Do Frost Stokes' laws mean nothing to you?
00:56:46Vesper, wait
00:56:47This is Lady Morgana
00:56:49Grandfather foresaw this
00:56:50He said a woman named Morgana would come for the Shard
00:56:53We must show her absolute respect
00:56:55The Patriarch is dying
00:56:57He needs silence, not scavengers chasing fairy tales
00:56:59Commander Vesper
00:57:02Even the Emperor bows to Lady Morgana
00:57:04I suggest you mind your tone
00:57:07Before I cut out your tongue
00:57:09Damn your southern king!
00:57:11Here, we follow north laws
00:57:13Your laws
00:57:15Tell me
00:57:17What does the north demand?
00:57:20You want to see him?
00:57:21Bleed for it
00:57:22Best me in combat
00:57:23Win
00:57:24And you get your audience
00:57:26And your precious shard
00:57:27Lose
00:57:28And you crawl back south
00:57:31Frostbite does not serve the weak
00:57:33I'll gladly test your iron, Commander
00:57:35Good!
00:57:36A real man!
00:57:37Bring me my steel!
00:57:48Hold the gate
00:57:50I am Cedric Ashworth, Commander of the Obsidian Guards
00:57:54Hold the gates
00:57:54Guards
00:57:55They're here!
00:57:56Fall back!
00:57:57Bar the gates!
00:58:02Go on, mate!
00:58:12Ring of steel!
00:58:13Protect Morgana!
00:58:22Ash to ash
00:58:23Darkness breaks
00:58:26Sand
00:58:45This malice
00:58:46I know it
00:58:48She broke them!
00:58:49Who goes there?
00:58:50Morgana
00:58:52Lady Morgana!
00:58:54Forgive me
00:58:55My grandfather speaks of you often
00:58:58And you are?
00:59:00Finn Ravenkest, my lady
00:59:01Grandson to Patriarch Thorne
00:59:03Morgana
00:59:05Smile for me
00:59:07You look best when you smile
00:59:09Foolish
00:59:19Morgana
00:59:20My sister-in-law is a monster on the battlefield
00:59:23She holds the true bloodline
00:59:24No one beats her
00:59:26Is this it, then?
00:59:28The day you foreseen I would die?
00:59:49He's hurt
00:59:51He will not die
00:59:56Playing with time
01:00:14Well fought
01:00:15Your form is decent
01:00:17But you fight like you fear death
01:00:19Always leaving room to retreat
01:00:21Remember
01:00:23A real enemy won't give you quarter
01:00:25The only way to outlive them
01:00:27Is to care less about dying
01:00:29Mother!
01:00:31Mother!
01:00:35There's my little bird
01:00:37You promised me
01:00:38We'd practice archery today
01:00:40I know
01:00:41Go grab your bow
01:00:42I'm coming
01:00:43Okay
01:00:47When you have something you can't leave behind
01:00:49Then teach me to fight
01:00:52Tomorrow I will grant you an audience for the Patriarch
01:00:58You see, I am still breathing
01:01:00If you had truly defied my vision
01:01:04Now that would be interesting
01:01:09Two years ago
01:01:10At the Bloodwater siege
01:01:12Vesta's husband
01:01:13Begged the Emperor for reinforcements
01:01:15But the Royal Court was busy preparing the Emperor's Jubilee
01:01:18The army never marched
01:01:19Her husband died in the mud
01:01:21Left her and the child alone
01:01:24Vesta has every reason to hate the Crown
01:01:27She struck a deal with the enemy
01:01:29You are wrong
01:01:32You said we were seeing the Patriarch
01:01:34Why bring us to a crypt?
01:01:35Whatever you see in there
01:01:36Hold your nerve
01:01:39My grandfather rests inside
01:01:41Please, this way
01:01:57What?
01:02:02My lady
01:02:02The North is freezing
01:02:04I brought you these heavy furs
01:02:05Your concern is noted, boy
01:02:08But she has no need for such common scraps
01:02:11These are royal pelts from
01:02:16Gods
01:02:18What in the world is this?
01:02:20It's so soft
01:02:21It doesn't even feel like wool
01:02:23It feels like water
01:02:25These deep red shapes here
01:02:27What kind of flower is this?
01:02:29A rose
01:02:30The sovereign of flowers
01:02:32A rose
01:02:33It's beautiful
01:02:34I can't even imagine it
01:02:36So this is what the South grows
01:02:39Here in Frostspike
01:02:40The winter never ends
01:02:42The ground is iron
01:02:42Nothing this fragile
01:02:44Could ever survive the frost
01:02:47If it pleases you boy
01:02:48Help us reclaim the shard from your keep
01:02:51And this mantle
01:02:52Is yours to keep
01:02:54Truly?
01:02:55You swear on your honor?
01:02:57On my blood
01:02:59Done
01:03:00I'll get ready
01:03:04You barter with the boy
01:03:06Because you are certain
01:03:07That Vesta will not surrender the shard
01:03:14Is this?
01:03:15It is Thorn
01:03:16Yes
01:03:17Since the ambush six months ago
01:03:20This crust began to form
01:03:22It started around his wounds
01:03:24Then it spread
01:03:25Swallowing him whole
01:03:27How many healers have you called?
01:03:29All of them
01:03:30None could break it
01:03:47This isn't a sickness, is it?
01:03:49It is his own madness
01:03:51His madness
01:03:52Thorn's natural life
01:03:54Ended in the snow
01:03:56Six months ago
01:04:00But his fury
01:04:01Anchored him here
01:04:03He refuses to pass on
01:04:05And the shard
01:04:06Buried within him
01:04:07Gave his wrath a physical form
01:04:10Spawning the dead
01:04:11That batter your gates
01:04:12While this stone shell
01:04:14Devours his remaining soul
01:04:16The undead
01:04:19They came from my grandfather
01:04:21Father's own mind
01:04:23What kind of nightmare
01:04:24Could be powerful enough
01:04:26To breed an entire army of corpses
01:04:32What is happening?
01:04:38The dead are marching in daylight
01:04:42I'll hold the line
01:04:43Gather the men
01:04:45My lady, I'm begging you
01:04:46Save Frostbike
01:04:48Take the shard back
01:04:49It's right there in his chest
01:04:51Please, just take it
01:04:52I beg you
01:04:55Yes
01:04:55But the shard must be freely given
01:04:58Even I cannot carve it out by force
01:05:01I will pull Thorn back from the dark
01:05:04Do not let them interrupt me
01:05:05This pennant will hold the dead
01:05:07Plant it beyond the gates
01:05:09It will buy me time
01:05:11If the ward fails
01:05:13If the dead breach the line
01:05:16Or if you are overrun
01:05:18Do not die for me
01:05:20Leave
01:05:21My orders stand
01:05:23You are my charge
01:05:25I do not break the line
01:05:41I remember a boy
01:05:43One who chased my shadow
01:05:45Always begging for stories
01:05:47Now
01:05:49Reduce to stone
01:05:54Veil lift
01:05:56Flesh bind
01:05:58Awaken
01:06:02Thorn
01:06:04Ashworth
01:06:06Her magic broke
01:06:07She's bleeding
01:06:16She's bleeding
01:06:19Shit
01:06:32Finn, what are you doing?
01:06:34I'm done pretending, Commander
01:06:36Did you honestly think Vesper was the one who crippled my grandfather?
01:06:40It was me
01:06:41Who left the gate wide open
01:06:43So
01:06:44You're the rat
01:06:45They butchered your parents
01:06:46Slaughtered your own brothers
01:06:48They bled Frostbear dry
01:06:50And you sold us out to the monsters?
01:06:53Sold us out?
01:06:55Monsters?
01:06:56Better than being the crown's lapdog
01:06:57Why should we bleed for them?
01:06:59Our ancestors all followed Morgana
01:07:01We were equals once
01:07:02But because they got different shards
01:07:04Some get to rule the capital
01:07:05Some get the gold
01:07:06And what did the rain creeps get?
01:07:08Three generations rotting in this frozen wasteland
01:07:10Bleeding out in the ice
01:07:12Just another name on a tombstone
01:07:14Waiting to be wiped out
01:07:16I won't let it end like this
01:07:19I'm going to tear Frostfire down
01:07:21Break the chains they put on us
01:07:25I saw Morgana use this
01:07:27It commands the dead
01:07:29I hold the power now
01:07:37Isn't that right?
01:07:38Rideooks and anti- therapy
01:07:41Run!
01:07:45Run!unku!
01:08:03Run!
01:08:06Run! Run!
01:08:07yes I remember the vow I gave you my word to hold this fortress to bleed for
01:08:18the innocent but the dead are here the wolves are at the gates I dare not leave
01:08:28enough Thorn you have bled enough your bloodline your men
01:09:11let the obsession die you must go whatever my sister commands
01:09:22Thorn will always obey but before I return the shard Morgana may I ask you one question
01:10:03oh
01:10:03oh
01:10:03oh
01:10:03oh
01:10:03oh
01:10:19Oh, man.
01:10:34Sis, you came. Sister, I... What is happening to me? Where are we?
01:10:43Your mortal life is ended, but your obsession anchored you here. Your soul was twisted by inner demons and the
01:10:51Shard. You are nothing but a lingering phantom now.
01:11:08What did you want to ask?
01:11:12All these years, alone in the dark, were you alright, Morgana?
01:11:35You won't touch her!
01:11:40I was fine.
01:11:46That is good.
01:12:24The witch.
01:12:38So, this is the death you saw for me? You are never wrong.
01:12:45Morgana, it seems I won't be here to help you take back what is yours.
01:13:09Morgana, I make no grand claims. But I swear, I will help you take it all back.
01:13:33Monster.
01:13:34Monster, you godless monster!
01:13:37Monster.
01:13:38Monster.
01:13:50This world is sick.
01:13:57Finn, why would you do this?
01:14:02My brother, he died because the crown... Because the crown never sent reinforcements. He bled out in the snow. And
01:14:13ever since then, I haven't seen you smile. Not truly. I was so close. Just a little more. And I
01:14:23could have taken you away from this prison.
01:14:28You foolish boy.
01:14:32Frostfire is now prison.
01:14:34Look at the people behind these walls. The thousands we pulled from the slaughter. The soldiers I trained with my
01:14:40own hands.
01:14:41Every block of black stone, every frozen inch of the north, holds my blood.
01:14:47Nothing has ever trapped me. This is the line I chose to hold.
01:14:52Frostfire is my home, Finn. And I will defend it. Until I break.
01:15:00I thought... I thought you hated the crown.
01:15:04I only wanted to break your chains.
01:15:12I do hate the crown. But I love the north. I love our people. I am holding this line for
01:15:19your brother. So the children here. So my own daughter can sleep without fear of the slaughter.
01:15:24So it was just me. I was the only one who couldn't let go. Take me away.
01:15:34I will. I'll take you south. I want to sleep beneath the roses.
01:15:47Sixty years ago. To buy this realm a breath of life. I gave my own flesh and soul to the
01:15:54forge. No attachments. No desires. I told you to run. But of course, fate demands its due.
01:16:14Would you still draw your blade for me? Knowing it will only lead to your grave.
01:16:19I am going. I've commanded the vanguard for years. I've faced death more times than I can count. But I
01:16:28have never lost.
01:16:28And I will not lose this time either.
01:16:47Why the Frost Spire? Why Thorn Ravencrest?
01:16:50My youngest student. Still breathes. I need to see him.
01:16:56And the Ravencrest piece of the crown. What is it, exactly?
01:17:00A drop of my own blood. The Undying Spark.
01:17:03Your blood? No wonder your skin is like ice.
01:17:06Morgana, how did you lose your eyes?
01:17:09Sixty winters ago, the realm was drowning in its own blood.
01:17:14To buy them a dawn, I offered my own flesh and soul.
01:17:19I stripped everything away.
01:17:22Bound it to the obsidian.
01:17:24Twelve fragments.
01:17:25Given to twelve disciples.
01:17:27To save this world.
01:17:30Sixty years have passed.
01:17:32My students took that power.
01:17:34And forged twelve great bloodlines.
01:17:37And now, there is peace.
01:17:40Now I take back what is mine.
01:17:44Morgana, what else are you missing?
01:17:46You never change your boots.
01:17:48I've never seen you eat.
01:17:49Or sleep, for that matter.
01:17:52Your hair turned white.
01:17:53Silence.
01:18:04Morgana, I will help you get it all back.
01:18:08Every last piece.
01:18:10You have my word.
01:18:13No matter what it takes.
01:18:16No matter the cost.
01:18:23That shard of the crown was torn from my own veins.
01:18:29A single drop of my heart's blood.
01:18:34I never thought you would waste such a priceless piece of yourself on me.
01:18:38I never thought I'd even be alive.
01:18:41My lady, you always said your prophecies are absolute.
01:18:44Never wrong.
01:18:45To give me the shard.
01:18:46To force me to live.
01:18:47Isn't this defying the gods themselves?
01:18:50Taking the heart back was a mistake.
01:18:59Morgana.
01:19:24My lady, forgive me.
01:19:28Assassins!
01:19:44This southern blood magic.
01:19:46They say one puppet butchers ten men.
01:19:49And I tore them apart before they could even blink.
01:19:51I feel like I could rip through solid iron.
01:19:54You were bleeding to death.
01:19:56No medicine could save you.
01:19:57So I bound a fraction of my shard to your fading heart.
01:20:01Tethered your life to mine.
01:20:02With my power in your veins, no mortal man can stand against you.
01:20:07You could have run.
01:20:09You chose to stay.
01:20:11You accepted my gift.
01:20:14From now on, you are bound to my will.
01:20:17Are we clear?
01:20:20So I am no better than these husks?
01:20:23I'm just your puppet?
01:20:25Do not compare yourself to such pathetic trash.
01:20:29They are nothing like you.
01:20:33You.
01:20:35You are my masterpiece.
01:20:44How old are you?
01:20:48And it's no more.
01:20:53The Hind.
01:20:56You are about to be invisible.
01:20:57I can see.
01:20:59You are my favorite.
01:20:59I could come.
01:21:00I need to go.
01:21:01The Shard.
01:21:03I need to move the shield.
01:21:04I'll move the shield of my hair.
