Short filmTranscript
00:12Tomorrow is my 18th birthday. I can finally leave this place for good and live with my knight, my fiancé
00:18Leon, forever.
00:24Damn, you're getting better and better at this.
00:26I only have your highness's training. I'm nothing but your loyal weapon from battlefield to bed chain.
00:33Leon, how could you do this to me? Tomorrow is the day you're supposed to come and take me as
00:39your bride. I've been waiting for this since I was ten.
00:46You're really willing to let your fiancé marry that evil dragon who feasts on brides and feel nothing at all?
00:51She's only the king's bastard after all, being able to spare you and her majesty the burden by sending her
00:57in your place.
00:58And if he rip us her before he kills her?
01:03Then her sacrifice will be even more meaningful. Her blood will buy the kingdom at least ten years of peace.
01:08It's the best deal we could ask for.
01:27Eileen, you're not going anywhere. Come with me. We have a wedding to prepare.
01:31What's the point of preparing for a wedding? Wouldn't it be simpler to just kill me now?
01:37How could we do that? You're the princess.
01:40I never imagined that the freedom I've waited eighteen years for would end like this.
01:45Because you're the filthy little snake blood half-breed father could never stand the sight of.
01:50Eileen, mind your tongue around the princess.
01:54Guards, take her. Lock her in the water dungeon.
02:01Every ten years, the Empire must offer ten brides to the Dragon King. Otherwise, dragon fire will rain down and
02:10burn our towns down.
02:12This year will be different. I only want one of you. The rest may live.
02:20My patience is running out. Otherwise, you all die.
02:26Ten. Nine.
02:28Even if I live, what then?
02:31I've never had a family who loved me.
02:33I've been a walking corpse for years, but they're different.
02:38They still have family's lovers waiting for them.
02:51Eileen!
02:53Eileen, farewell.
02:54I'm sorry, Maya. I swore I'd take good care of her, but I had no choice.
02:59If I didn't do this, the people would revolt and the kingdom would fall.
03:04You're still thinking about that shameless woman?
03:06She was the one who couldn't keep her legs shut.
03:09Cheated on you with the snake folk, and that's how that little snake blood half-breed came to be.
03:13Trading her for ten years' peace is a bargain.
03:16You, on the other hand, should be worrying about your own daughter.
03:19Wickie is already eighteen.
03:20Prince Silmus of the Serpent Clan. May his magic truly protect Wickie, and this kingdom.
03:27A wise decision, my king. I'll go make the marriage arrangements.
03:32You pathetic old fool. This crown should have been mine long ago.
03:42Who are you?
03:44Are you a dragon too? You don't bite, do you? Can I pet you?
03:48Don't touch it. That's the fierce beast of the Sky Castle, its guardian.
03:55My lord, I offered myself willingly as your bride.
03:58You can eat me if you must. Just spare the innocent commoners.
04:02In the eyes of you foolish humans, I'm nothing but a man-eating monster, am I?
04:10I don't know if you eat people or not, but...
04:14I'm hungry! I need food! Otherwise I'll starve to death here!
04:20There is no food in the Sky Castle. Drink some Sky Water, and you'll feel full.
04:47My lord! Wake up!
04:49My lord! Wake up!
05:10don't come any closer this is a lady's bathroom men and women shouldn't share a bath
05:14but i'm not human that still doesn't mean you can just strip my head claws off whenever you want
05:22if i don't take off your clothes to wash you how can i eat clean and delicious food you can
05:29eat me
05:29i'm willing to be eaten by you but before i die could you at least let see liwan one made
05:35time
05:36how dare you mention another man in front of me
05:52he's actually more handsome than humans
05:57if i looked like this would you still reject me didn't you volunteer to be my bride i won't eat
06:04you but you must let me let me insert this huge thing down below into your body what did you
06:11say
06:12then you should become pregnant give birth to a more powerful dragon egg for me
06:16but because of this you might not be able to withstand it facing the risk of exploding and
06:22dying please please just eat me how could i ever eat you as long as you bear my egg
06:32i'll guarantee the people of your kingdom safe and unharmed you swear
06:41of course i swear by this dragon
07:12Who are you?
07:13Have you forgotten your own husband this soon?
07:15What are you for real?
07:17A dragon?
07:18Or a man?
07:20We dragons can take on any form we wish,
07:22but humans cursed us.
07:24When only one dragon remains in this world,
07:26the curse says he can't fully change back,
07:29unless the bride who truly loves him bears his child.
07:32Only then will the spell be broken.
07:35So right now you're...
07:36Last night you took the initiative to have my descendants,
07:40so I can manage to change back halfway.
07:49Seems you're still not quite used to your husband's appearance.
07:52I could never fall in love with a beast.
07:54I have endless time to wait.
07:58Until you do.
08:04It's freezing here.
08:06Can you take me away from this place?
08:08I have to get out of here,
08:09before I die in coldness.
08:20That bitch!
08:22All of this perfect man should have been mine!
08:25My sweet girl, the serpent clan is way stronger.
08:28The dragon tribe has come down to that pathetic half-dragon, half-human freak.
08:32I don't care!
08:32That one doesn't get to walk away with this!
08:34I was supposed to be the dragon's bride!
08:36Me!
08:37Enough!
08:39You're about to be betrothed to the serpent prince.
08:41Watch your tongue.
08:42Father, why is Eileen still breathing?
08:45Eileen was taken by the Dragon King to save your life.
08:47Silas has already agreed to send troops against the Sky Castle and bring Eileen back.
08:51As long as she's still alive, you should pray she returns to us safe.
08:54What did you say?
08:55Are you sending an army to rescue her?
08:57It's the perfect excuse to march on the dragon.
08:59And besides, I gave Maya my word I'd look after her daughter.
09:02I won't discuss this further.
09:07Mother, it's not fair!
09:09Don't worry.
09:10Eileen will die.
09:12I can guarantee.
09:18Let me go!
09:20You...
09:21You monster!
09:22It seems I've been far too indulgent with you.
09:32Reflect on your actions here.
09:35You'll stay until you've come to your senses.
09:42Open up!
09:44Let me out!
09:51I'm so cold.
09:53And so hungry.
09:58The Dragon Sanctrum is no playground for mere mortal.
10:15You think you could just march in here?
10:19Watch.
10:22Ooh.
10:25What a high-maintenements woman.
10:30Charlie!
10:35My lord.
10:37Save me!
10:38I'm freezing.
10:40Now you finally remember me.
10:43Darling...
10:44I'm sorry...
10:53Wait! It's too much!
11:02Dear Lord...
11:23Keyes my foot and swear it. Swear you'll kill Eileen.
11:28Eileen and I grew up together. She's like a sister to me. I... I can't raise a hand against her.
11:37Do you actually think you're someone special? I am the Princess of the Empire.
11:41I'm not asking, Leon. I'm ordering you to kill that wrench.
11:47As you command, my Princess.
11:50Do this right, and Silas might just let you stay on as my little secret. My lapdog.
12:00I'll deploy my troops on one condition.
12:04You publicly declare me the rightful heir to the throne.
12:09Is the Sky Castle not enough for you?
12:12Keep it, then. It doesn't matter.
12:14Once you're dead, the Empire falls to me anyway.
12:18Everything will be yours, provided you marry my daughter.
12:22And Eileen... must be mine... as well.
12:29Not a chance! She is Maya's daughter!
12:31Old man, the only woman I'm marrying...
12:34...is the one you've proclaimed to the world as the Princess of this Empire.
12:38This Empire. This Empire.
12:45This Empire.
12:46So donate...
12:48Mm-hm...
12:49My lord.
12:55Eat.
12:59you expect me to eat this raw just like that how else are you supposed to eat it
13:04you clearly have no idea that humans don't do raw so much trouble my lord
13:13my lord how about i teach you how to grill absolutely not i reflect your turn light the
13:22fire please you want me to use my noble dragon flame to cook a fish exactly
13:38um would you mind if we went back and caught another one
13:50say ah ah
14:04my bride looks after me and me alone
14:16that's the first time i've seen you smile
14:22oh
14:33NOAAA!
14:51NOAAA!
14:53NOAH! STOP! YOU'RE HURTING ME! PLEASE!
15:12NOAH, WHY DID YOU BRING ME HERE?
15:15THE WIND, IT FEELS LIKE IT'S SCREAMING.
15:18IT'S NOT THE WIND, IT'S THE GHOSTS OF MY KIND.
15:23LOOK AT THIS CLIP, Eileen.
15:25WHAT HAPPENED HERE?
15:27TEN YEARS AGO, I WATCHED MY FATHER DIE, PIERCED BY HUMAN SPEARS.
15:33I WAS SO SMALL, SO FULL OF HATE.
15:37I JUMPED FROM THIS VERY LEG, TO RING FOR DEATH.
15:45BUT YOU SURVIVED.
15:51I DIDN'T JUST SURVIVE, I CHANGED.
15:54AT THAT MOMENT, I BECAME THE LAST DRAGON ON EARTH.
16:13THINKS OF MARCH, YOU'RE RUNNING FOR THE HOME.
16:14STOP! I CAN HEAR THEM... THE WOMEN CRYING!
16:17That is the legacy of my ancestors.
16:20They sang the dragon song to lure girls like you.
16:24Why? Just to kill them?
16:26To survive. To breed.
16:29But no human girl could survive the hatching of a dragon egg.
16:38They died in agony.
16:40Their bodies, they literally burst from the inside.
16:48And the dragon fire. I saw it in my dreams.
16:54My ancestors burned them alive.
16:56Hoping the flames would save the eggs.
17:00It never worked.
17:05Now you know why I keep you at a distance.
17:08To touch you is to sentence you to death.
17:16He told me the truth.
17:18How every bride before me died.
17:20Burned and torn apart from the inside.
17:22I should be screaming.
17:24But all I see is a man drowning in a curse.
17:26I won't let him face it alone.
17:28Get away!
17:30Didn't you hear me?
17:31If you don't run, you'll be the next name carved into these stones.
17:35My inner beast has smelled your blood.
17:37It's begging me to tear you apart.
17:40Then why are you shaking?
17:42If you were just a beast, you wouldn't be suffering like this just to warn me.
17:53Because I refuse to be a monster like my father.
17:56I won't watch you turn to ashes in the flames.
17:59Then don't be him.
18:01I'm right here.
18:03I'm not afraid.
18:05Her kindness is a trap.
18:07If I let her stay close, I will lose control and kill her.
18:11If I can't make her leave, I'll make her wish she had never stayed.
18:20You want to save me?
18:22I'll make you regret every heartbeat you spend in this castle.
18:27Noah?
18:28What are you doing?
18:30Kindness is meaningless to a monster, Eileen.
18:33Since you've chosen this fate, I will lock you away and show you the true power of the dragon.
18:38I will break you before the curse does.
19:09I will break you before the curse does.
19:15Noah, let me go.
19:17Why are you doing this?
19:18The humans and the serpent clan.
19:20They are coming for my head.
19:22I need the dragon's power to kill them.
19:25Then let me help you.
19:27Don't lock me away like a prisoner.
19:31You don't understand.
19:32The more I stay a dragon, the less I can control the hunger for you.
19:37Eileen.
19:40Keep your pet quiet, or I'll feed him to the storm.
19:45You're becoming a monster before the battle even begins.
19:54Stay alive.
19:56Even if you hate me.
20:01So, she likes it rough.
20:04A little Fost pay to keep the marriage spicy?
20:08Eileen, you're getting more and more to my taste.
20:14I can't wait to see you scream in my chairs.
20:19The king thinks I'm his savior.
20:21He actually believes I'll help him rescue you, his daughter, for free.
20:26Foolish old man.
20:28I will use the human army as bait to lure the dragon into my curse formation.
20:36Once the beast is trapped, I will swallow the Empire and the Sky Hustle in one bite.
20:45And you, Eileen, you are the ultimate key.
20:49You are the dragon's heart and the human princess.
20:53By making you my bride, I won't just be a king.
21:00I will be the god of the three realms.
21:03Your screams, your scream will be my victory song.
21:16I brought some food from the human realm.
21:18The kind you used to like.
21:20I don't want your cakes.
21:22I want my freedom.
21:24Freedom?
21:25To run back to that traitor Leon?
21:27Or to be eaten by the serpents?
21:30That is my home!
21:31I won't die!
21:33Don't you understand yet?
21:35You are just a disposable pawn they can sacrifice at any moment.
21:40You have no home anymore.
21:42Your freedom is to stay right here and live!
21:48Noah, are you okay?
21:50Stop hurting yourself.
21:52I'm trying to keep you safe.
21:57Why can't you just obey me?
21:59Because I'm your woman, not your trophy.
22:02Fight the beast, Noah.
22:04Don't let it win.
22:19Stay back.
22:21The dragon, it wants to tear you apart and consume you.
22:24No, Noah.
22:25Look at me.
22:26Not with the dragon's eyes, but with yours.
22:29It's too late.
22:31The scent of your blood, it's calling to the beast.
22:33Then listen to this.
22:35This is a human heart.
22:37If you want me, you have to find your own again.
22:44Why?
22:45Why don't you run?
22:46I'm a monster, Eileen.
22:47A monster wouldn't try this hard to protect me from himself.
23:11There are thousands of them.
23:13Leon and Silas.
23:14They've actually come.
23:17They don't come for you, Eileen.
23:19They come for the power they think I possess.
23:21Noah, please.
23:22Don't let the dragon take over again.
23:25I don't need the dragon for these ants.
23:27Watch.
23:33It's a slaughter.
23:37They never stood a chance.
23:39Not all of them.
23:41One rat survived.
23:48Look at you, Noah.
23:50Playing house with a human girl while your kingdom burns.
23:55You're lucky the storm hasn't ripped your tongue out yet, Silas.
23:58Oh, but you should thank me.
24:00Do you even know who you're protecting?
24:03I'm nothing to you, Silas.
24:04Leave us alone.
24:05Nothing.
24:06You're the secret daughter of the High King.
24:08The blood of the very man who hunted Noah's father to death.
24:14Is it true?
24:16You carry the blood of my father's murderer?
24:19I didn't know.
24:20Noah, I never knew.
24:23She's the bait dragon.
24:25And you fell for it.
24:41Duke, my love, save me!
24:50I was so small, so full of hate.
24:55I jumped from this very ledge, wishing for death.
25:01The man who killed my father, he did it for Maya.
25:05You have her eyes.
25:07Tell me the truth!
25:09Maya was my mother, but I am not Duke's blood.
25:12I am the child of her shame, not his crown!
25:18Look at her, the king's pure little bird.
25:22Don't you want to see what happens when you clip her wings?
25:26And what do I get in return, my queen?
25:29Let your guards defile her.
25:31Make her your vessel.
25:33Do this, and I am yours.
25:48No!
25:48No!
25:55Duke, please.
25:56She has my eyes.
25:58She is innocent.
26:00Don't, don't let them kill her.
26:02Innocent.
26:02She is the living proof that you were touched by those snakes.
26:07Just let her live.
26:09As a servant.
26:10Anything.
26:12This is the serpent's filth.
26:14You are my greatest shame.
26:15You are a curse I must keep in the shadows.
26:21Ha ha ha ha ha.
26:24Noah, look at you.
26:25Guarding a woman who was born in my people's fifth.
26:28Does she smell like the snake pit yet?
26:33I will rip the tongue out of your head, Silas!
26:36She is mine!
26:38Enjoy the leftovers, dragon.
26:40When I'm done, this castle becomes my nest.
26:44And Eileen, she'll finally come home to the snakes.
26:50crashy!
26:52L Any damn
26:58attack, kill the dragon!
27:01Bring me the girl alive!
27:03Bring me the girl alive!
27:07All my heart is hard, harm ë§ ë§ ë§ ë§ ë§ ë§ ë§ ë§ ë§ ë§ ë§ ë§ ë§ catalog
27:43Your heart belongs to me now, Noah.
27:47Noah, get up! Don't let him take you!
28:01I will tear you into bloody pieces!
28:06Get out of my reel!
28:11Impressive, Noah. You burned half your life force just to kill a... shadow.
28:17No! No! A shadow?
28:21I am everywhere. And I am nowhere.
28:25If a mere projection could break your wings, imagine what I will do when I arrive in person.
28:33Next time it won't be a test. It will be your funeral.
28:39And Eileen will finally have a real king.
28:47Noah! No, please, my lord! Don't die! Don't leave me alone in this darkness!
29:03Noah, look at me. His words are just poison. I am here. I am not going anywhere.
29:09I should have burned them all! I'm still a monster to them. And maybe to you too.
29:13No. You are the man who saved me. But if you keep acting like a beast, you're just giving them
29:20what they want.
29:27And what do you want, Eileen?
29:29I want a husband. Not a weapon.
29:34Learn to control the fire inside, Noah.
29:38If you want me to stay, show me you can be more than just a dragon.
29:51How is she still alive?
29:56That servant should be Dragon Beat.
29:59Simus, go get her.
30:00Bring her back so I can make her pay myself.
30:05Did I hear a command, Wickie?
30:08I... I am the princess!
30:11You are my fiancée!
30:13You are nothing but a pawn for this alliance.
30:16Don't mistake a snake's patience for loyalty.
30:25I'll bring the dragon back.
30:26But the girl...
30:28She belongs to me now.
30:32A pawn?
30:33You think I'm just a piece on your board?
30:36I am the blood of the Empire.
30:40If Silas wants that servant so badly, he can have her cause.
30:45I'll burn the Sky Castle to the ground before I let her take my throne.
30:49Or my man!
30:51You want to see her scream, Silas?
30:57I'll make sure she's screaming for mercy when she meets her end.
31:05Too hard, Noah.
31:07You're trying to touch me, not crush a stone.
31:09Again.
31:12This is ridiculous.
31:14My claws are for killing, not for stroking skin.
31:18If you want to be with me, you have to learn, softly, like a breeze.
31:24Is this what humans call gentle?
31:28Yes.
31:29And try not to singe my hair with your breath next time.
31:35You are a very demanding bride, Eileen.
31:44And I have kept my promise.
31:46I am listening to you now.
31:48But Eileen, I need you to feel my world, too.
31:52Not just the one you imagined, but the one I truly live in.
31:56You must see the sky through a dragon's eyes.
31:59Not just a prisoner's.
32:03Noah, the heights.
32:05They remind me of the storm.
32:07Of the way you grabbed me in the darkness.
32:10I'm afraid of that power.
32:14The storm is only one side of me.
32:17Humans fear the wind because it can tear down houses.
32:20But they forget it's the same wind that carries a bird home.
32:24It sounds so violent.
32:27It feels like it's screaming.
32:29Listen closer.
32:29If you don't fight it, the wind becomes a cradle.
32:35Close your eyes, Eileen.
32:37Trust me.
32:38I want to show you the world not as a battlefield, but as a masterpiece.
32:47Noah, we're going too fast.
32:49Please, put me down.
32:51Open your eyes, Eileen.
32:52Look at what it means to be a dragon.
33:04It's beautiful.
33:06The world looks so small from here.
33:09The humans only see the storm.
33:12They never look high enough to see the peace above it.
33:17I'm not afraid anymore.
33:19I'm not afraid anymore.
33:19With you, I feel free.
33:21Then stay here.
33:23Be the only light in my endless sky.
33:40Eileen, there is a reason I haven't claimed you yet.
33:44I thought you were just trying to be human for me.
33:47It's more than that.
33:49To truly stabilize my power, we must perform the great rule of the dragons.
33:52A wedding?
33:54A soulbinding.
33:55A soulbinding.
33:55Our hearts must beat as one during the union.
33:57Only then will the beast truly submit to my will.
34:00You mean, if we don't do this, you'll never be able to control the dragon?
34:05If I don't, I will eventually lose my mind, but I won't force you.
34:09Show me the way, Noah.
34:11I want to be your bride.
34:21A hundred years of darkness.
34:23I thought that's all I deserved.
34:26Anger kept me alive.
34:28I figured one day it'd swallow me whole.
34:30I was just waiting to die.
34:33My whole life, I've been invisible.
34:36No one wanted me in that palace.
34:38I was a shadow with no name.
34:41A servant.
34:44Until...
34:44You were never invisible to me.
34:47The moment you stepped onto that sacrificial ship,
34:50you became the only place I could breathe.
34:53A human heart.
34:55Taught the beast how to feel.
34:58Then let the girl with no home find one in your arms.
35:02I don't need a palace, Noah.
35:04I just need you.
35:06Everything else, I can learn.
35:10This is my vow.
35:13As long as the sky remains and the dragon fire burns, you are no servant.
35:18You are the only queen of the sky.
35:23Aylan, will you bind your soul to mine?
35:26Through blood and breath, through fire and eternity?
35:29Yes.
35:30A thousand times, yes.
35:32I choose you, Noah.
35:34In this life, and every life that follows.
35:46Noah, just now...
35:49What is it?
35:50Nothing.
35:52Maybe my eyes were just bluttered by tears.
36:02It's on.
36:03Finally.
36:04Enjoy the wedding gift I've given you both.
36:12My ancestors used this altar to shackle their brides, to force a union.
36:17But I have cleared the blood of the past.
36:20Today, this place will witness a union of choice.
36:25Does the ceremony scare you, Noah?
36:27I can feel your heart racing.
36:30It scares me that I might fail you.
36:32The ritual will drop my barriers.
36:34For one hour, I will be as vulnerable as a human child.
36:38But it is the only way to kill the beast inside me, and become the man you deserve.
36:42You are already that man, Noah.
36:44The beast is just a shadow.
36:46Don't do this for the ritual.
36:48Do it for us.
36:55I will give you a wedding that the legends will sing about.
36:58A wedding where the dragon finally finds his peace.
37:01And the girl finally finds her throne.
37:11That's strange.
37:13Huh?
37:15Maybe I'm just too excited.
37:17My heart...
37:18It feels like it's beating incorrectly.
37:21Mine too.
37:22For a hundred years, it's the first time my heart has raced like this.
37:28Beat away, little bride.
37:29When your heartbeat sinks with mine, you will know who your true master is.
37:35There is.
37:40Shh.
37:41Is he coming?
37:45Close call.
37:46We have to finish this tonight, Ollie.
37:50Tomorrow, I want to see the Dragon King's eyes when he realizes he's no longer alone.
38:00Am I just too tired?
38:02Meow?
38:03It's nothing.
38:04Maybe it's just the moonlight.
38:06You are given.
38:06Can't wait.
38:08Shh.
38:12It's nothing.
38:14It's nothing.
38:17It's nothing.
38:18I'm just the devil.
38:19Take care.
38:21I'm just the devil.
38:23She's happy.
38:24You
