Short filmTranscript
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!
00:00:27Bring me Alison.
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!
00:00:49Sixty 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.
00:01:11Morgana.
00:01:14Forgive me. I didn't know you were coming.
00:01:17House Alistram is yours.
00:01:19Show us mercy.
00:01:20My lord. You are a duke.
00:01:22You kneel to no one but the king.
00:01:24One more word.
00:01:25And I'll cut it out myself.
00:01:28My lady. Please.
00:01:47Mind the steps, my lady.
00:01:54The sky turns.
00:02:00The sky turns.
00:02:04Sixty years ago, I broke myself into twelve embers.
00:02:10The throne was secured.
00:02:13It is time.
00:02:19To reclaim them all.
00:02:26I assumed we were hosting royalty
00:02:29For my husband to grovel so
00:02:31To greet you himself
00:02:33I simply had to see who
00:02:45Magana, was it?
00:02:47You are a guest in my halls
00:02:49Drink
00:02:54Your wine, my lady
00:02:56A blind witch
00:02:58This shall prove to you
00:03:09But I told them to boil it
00:03:12Dorish vintage
00:03:13Pity it turned to vinegar
00:03:15Masked with heavy spice
00:03:19Poured from the rot
00:03:21At the bottom of your cellar
00:03:22Is 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?
00:03:31You insolent wretch
00:03:32Keep 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
00:03:45Rots with you
00:03:47How dare you?
00:03:49My husband may tolerate your delusions
00:03:51But I will not
00:03:52You just assaulted the future crown princess
00:03:54By royal decree
00:03:56You will kneel
00:03:57You will kneel
00:03:57And you will bleed for it
00:03:58She is a fool
00:04:00You are worse
00:04:01Even the gods of the underworld
00:04:04Have yet to see
00:04:05Me
00:04:06Kneel
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
00:04:24Seize her
00:04:26Now
00:04:41Stop
00:04:43Stop
00:04:44Stop 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
00:04:56Alistair
00:04:58Father
00:04:59Both of you
00:05:00You blind arrogant fools
00:05:02She 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
00:05:13I am the future crown princess
00:05:17I will wear the crown
00:05:18I will rule this realm
00:05:22I am a queen
00:05:24She is just a
00:05:25A pity
00:05:32No crown rests on a dead woman
00:05:37You will die before the wedding bells ring
00:05:55No
00:05:57You
00:05:58Get out of my house
00:06:00Silence your tongue
00:06:03Morgana
00:06:04Morgana 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
00:06:24Led 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 commands this union
00:07:03Lord 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
00:07:45She 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
00:07:59Let 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
00:08:14It's alive
00:08:18I'll feel the blood
00:08:22Bring the oracle a horse
00:08:30It's alive
00:08:35It's alive
00:08:39It's alive
00:08:41It's alive
00:08:43It's alive
00:08:45It's alive
00:08:46It's alive
00:08:47It's alive
00:08:48It's alive
00:08:50It's alive
00:08:51It's alive
00:08:52It's alive
00:08:53It's alive
00:09:10Take them to the iron court.
00:09:13I 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.
00:09:31You fight well, mortal.
00:09:33Pity it changes nothing.
00:09:35I do not guess.
00:09:38The grave is dug.
00:09:41The hour is here.
00:09:42Step forward, future Empress.
00:09:51Isabella, my love finally.
00:09:58No!
00:09:59God!
00:10:07I'm ready, father.
00:10:09The crown is mine.
00:10:11Our legacy begins.
00:10:14My daughter.
00:10:16Our ultimate masterpiece.
00:10:20Lock it down.
00:10:21Double guards.
00:10:22Kill anything that moves.
00:10:24Nothing touched that carriage.
00:10:26Are we clear?
00:10:27Crystal clear, captain.
00:10:28Consider it done.
00:10:29You're wasting men.
00:10:32The prophecy is spoken.
00:10:35The bride won't survive this journey.
00:10:37I am never wrong.
00:10:39Enlighten me then, Oracle.
00:10:40Give me a name.
00:10:42How 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.
00:10:52I see the blood.
00:10:53The question is, can 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 in her wedding dress.
00:11:05Perfectly protected by your elite guards.
00:11:08Ride straight to her execution.
00:11:10Let me ride with your convoy.
00:11:12Take me.
00:11:14I'll prove you wrong.
00:11:19I see the threads.
00:11:22Every drop of blood before it falls.
00:11:25The end is written.
00:11:27You'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, then what happens next?
00:11:39Does the blade slip?
00:11:40Does the steel bite?
00:11:42Or maybe I'm just sick of your games and 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, you owe a deadly debt.
00:12:14Madness.
00:12:15I serve the crown.
00:12:17I don't fear witches.
00:12:20Still believe in hard facts, Commander?
00:12:24Commander!
00:12:25We have a situation.
00:12:27The prisoners from the ambush, sir.
00:12:29They took poison.
00:12:30Hidden in their teeth.
00:12:32They're all dead.
00:12:33Trails cold.
00:12:34Dead?!
00:12:34You let our only witnesses die in chains?!
00:12:37They were paid to die.
00:12:39They'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.
00:13:00She knew.
00:13:01How?
00:13:02She was right there!
00:13:04The 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.
00:13:14Look at the carriage!
00:13:15The doors were sealed!
00:13:16Who else could bypass those locks?!
00:13:19Enough!
00:13:20Seal 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 a moving, heavily guarded carriage
00:13:38and take her head without 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, you 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.
00:14:08Name it.
00:14:09Whatever closes this investigation.
00:14:11I want your absolute obedience.
00:14:15When I speak, you do not question.
00:14:19When I point, you do not hesitate.
00:14:21My loyalty is to the crown.
00:14:23I don't give blind trust.
00:14:25I have the killer.
00:14:26If you put the murderer in front of me,
00:14:29then you have my trust.
00:14:32Don't make a vow you can't keep, Commander.
00:14:34You have my word.
00:14:36I won't break it.
00:14:41Take this.
00:14:43Sew her head back on.
00:14:45You want me to mutilate a royal corpse?
00:14:47Every second you wait, she fades.
00:14:53Her soul is bleeding out.
00:14:56It's done.
00:14:58It's done.
00:14:59What 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 who lost his bride.
00:15:10We are going to hold a court of our own.
00:15:19Isabella!
00:15:20My 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!
00:15:27Why is she here?
00:15:28Why is that blind woman in the judge's seat?
00:15:31Commander Ashworth!
00:15:32She killed her!
00:15:34She cursed my daughter and you let her sit there!
00:15:37His Royal Highness Prince Kale!
00:15:40Isabella!
00:15:41Let me through!
00:15:43Isabella!
00:15:44No!
00:15:44Look what they did to you.
00:15:46My beautiful girl.
00:15:48The audience is here.
00:15:50Let the performance end.
00:15:53Flesh to thread.
00:15:56Bone to command.
00:15:58Rise.
00:15:59Rise.
00:16:04You demanded proof, Commander.
00:16:07Behold the truth.
00:16:10You wove the crimson soul thread yourself.
00:16:14The bond is forged.
00:16:16Ask her.
00:16:19Isabella Alastom.
00:16:20Is your killer here?
00:16:29No!
00:16:46Keep that thing away!
00:16:48She's bewitched!
00:16:55The crown is ours, father.
00:16:59Abbott's voice.
00:17:00innocent...
00:17:11Edmund Alaston...
00:17:17...now confess.
00:17:23Edmund Alaston, do you confess?
00:17:27I confess to nothing!
00:17:29You sick witch!
00:17:31You killed her!
00:17:33You puppeted her corpse to frame us!
00:17:36He took you in.
00:17:38You repay us with blood!
00:17:40This is madness!
00:17:42A father doesn't slaughter his own blood!
00:17:45Isabella was my pride!
00:17:48Why would I destroy my own future?
00:17:51See the truth!
00:17:52His own blood, that's true.
00:17:55But what if that girl was never your blood at all?
00:18:01Eleanor, why did the Emperor betroth Isabella to Prince Kael?
00:18:05It was destiny!
00:18:07The Emperor declared it.
00:18:09They were born the 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 our bloodline.
00:18:27Give me the child I must see.
00:18:30Tell the truth!
00:18:31Is it a boy?
00:18:33A girl, my lady.
00:18:35A girl?
00:18:36No!
00:18:37You're lying!
00:18:38A daughter.
00:18:39Just as I said.
00:18:40Why me?
00:18:45The consort is waiting.
00:18:47If it's a boy, I'm ruined!
00:18:49Breathe, my lady.
00:18:51Panic is a luxury we can't afford.
00:18:53Duke Alistair has already arranged a solution.
00:18:55Bring the bundle inside.
00:18:57Now.
00:19:01Look closely.
00:19:03Pure Alistair blood.
00:19:04A flawless son.
00:19:06Yours, if you dare.
00:19:10A son!
00:19:11From now on you are mine.
00:19:14The true heir of this house.
00:19:17My son.
00:19:19My heir.
00:19:39You're telling this court I'm Duke Alistair's son?
00:19:43No.
00:19:44No.
00:19:45No.
00:19:45No, no.
00:19:46I am the crown prince!
00:19:51It can't be.
00:19:52How could my husband do such a thing?
00:19:55This is treason!
00:19:57What could he possibly want to risk all our lives?
00:20:00What did he want?
00:20:01Your son, sitting on the throne.
00:20:03That's what he wanted.
00:20:07You need proof to make such claims!
00:20:10This dark sorcery proves absolutely nothing!
00:20:13Lord Alistair, if I had to guess.
00:20:16The moment the emperor degreed Isabella's marriage,
00:20:19you realized if she entered the royal court
00:20:21the crown would eventually discover her secret.
00:20:23So you hired a pack of mercenaries
00:20:25to stage a bandit raid on the carriage.
00:20:27But Morgana's warning put my guard on alert.
00:20:29You feared with extra men your hired killers
00:20:31wouldn't be able to finish the job.
00:20:33So you killed your own daughter before she left.
00:20:35And as for your loyal servants,
00:20:36they break much faster than paid assassins.
00:20:39Commander!
00:20:40Commander Ashworth!
00:20:40Lord Alistair's personal guard!
00:20:42They've confessed to everything!
00:20:43The signed confessions.
00:20:45They admit the Duke ordered 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 gave House Alistair absolute power.
00:21:06Unmatched wealth!
00:21:07Unmatched glory!
00:21:09But the emperor still stood above me!
00:21:11Until that day, when I saw...
00:21:17I saw...
00:21:22I saw the truth.
00:21:24If my son took the cradle,
00:21:27he'd rule the world.
00:21:29But the vision didn't end there.
00:21:31I saw the flaw that would kill us.
00:21:34The decree.
00:21:35The royal wedding.
00:21:37If Isabella entered that palace,
00:21:39he would see my daughter.
00:21:43He'd see the exact face of the young empress.
00:21:47He's not blind.
00:21:49He'd know exactly what I did.
00:21:52I had no choice!
00:21:53You must see that!
00:21:55I had to cut the rot out.
00:21:57I had to protect my family!
00:22:00My son will be emperor!
00:22:01I had to!
00:22:07Morgana, I confess it all.
00:22:09Punish me alone.
00:22:10I beg you, look at me!
00:22:12Remember my father's loyalty!
00:22:15Spare my wife!
00:22:17He's lying!
00:22:18We knew nothing!
00:22:19Please!
00:22:20I'm begging you!
00:22:21Take my life, but let them live!
00:22:24Granted.
00:22:25Thank you, Oracle.
00:22:28My life for theirs.
00:22:31Edmund!
00:22:32No!
00:22:33Edmund!
00:22:34No!
00:22:35Edmund!
00:22:36Edmund!
00:22:36Edmund!
00:22:38Please stay!
00:22:40Wake up!
00:22:42Please don't leave me!
00:23:16I gave them my sight.
00:23:19To watch the dark.
00:23:21Instead, they watched the throne.
00:23:23Built a lie.
00:23:25Thought they could cheat fate.
00:23:27Thought they owned me.
00:23:29They own nothing.
00:23:31I'm taking it all back.
00:23:33With blood.
00:23:36Mortal hands cannot hold the weight of a god.
00:23:39It crushes them.
00:23:41The Alistair debt is settled.
00:23:44My sight is mine again.
00:23:47Now, we move to the next house.
00:23:51Stop!
00:23:51You can't just march in there.
00:23:53This is treason.
00:23:55I must alert the Emperor.
00:23:56No need to call the Emperor.
00:23:58He's already here.
00:24:05God.
00:24:06The Emperor.
00:24:11Your Majesty.
00:24:15By royal decree, Prince Kael and the Empress are hereby spankstripped of titles.
00:24:21They shall be cast into the Black Cells.
00:24:24It shall be done.
00:24:31Lady Morgana!
00:24:33Lady Morgana!
00:24:34Lady Morgana!
00:24:34It's you!
00:24:35Careful, sire!
00:24:37Morgana!
00:24:38Sire, wait!
00:24:39Lady Morgana!
00:24:41Oh, my Lady Morgana!
00:24:43Forgive me.
00:24:45It's my fault.
00:24:47I was blind to let them trouble you.
00:24:49I wish to name you High Protector, to guide the realm.
00:24:53Every mage alive will answer only to your command.
00:24:59My rule is simple.
00:25:01One shard for one question.
00:25:03You want a prophecy?
00:25:04Give me your family's ancient inheritance.
00:25:08The crown shard in exchange.
00:25:12Right.
00:25:12If you wish to reclaim the shard, I will gladly return it.
00:25:18After all, my family owes our throne to-
00:25:21Power is a debt.
00:25:22When I give, and when I take, is my choice alone.
00:25:26Why the rush?
00:25:28Ah, yes.
00:25:29You are completely right.
00:25:31Please, rest at Ashermyth Palace.
00:25:33Everything will grant her than-
00:25:35No, no!
00:25:36Higher than Imperial standards!
00:25:37No need.
00:25:39I am going to Ashwith Keep.
00:25:41Besides, my heart currently belongs to him.
00:25:53Yes, yes, of course.
00:25:55Take my royal carriage.
00:25:59Please, my lady.
00:26:00After you.
00:26:01Your Grace, that is the Sovereign's carriage.
00:26:03It breaks royal protocol.
00:26:05Shut your mouth!
00:26:07Lady Morgana is the law.
00:26:09Her word is absolute.
00:26:10There is no protocol in this world that outrants her.
00:26:13Isn't that right, my dear lady?
00:26:15Please.
00:26:17Mind the step, my lady.
00:26:18Careful now.
00:26:19Very careful.
00:26:21Commander Ashworth.
00:26:23Your Grace.
00:26:23If she suffers even a scratch, I swear to God, I will hang every last member of your
00:26:28retted house.
00:26:29Do I make myself clear?
00:26:31Crystal clear, Your Grace.
00:26:32My dear Lady Morgana, I have just remembered some urgent matters of state to attend to.
00:26:38I must take my leave.
00:26:44You serve Lady Morgana now.
00:26:46Farewell.
00:26:47Have a pleasant journey.
00:26:51Earlier you said that I had your heart.
00:26:54What the hell does that mean?
00:26:56Sixty years ago, my heart was carved from my chest.
00:27:01It is not with you.
00:27:04It is in your house.
00:27:07My house?
00:27:11This way, Lady Morgana.
00:27:12Thanks to your grace, sixty years ago, when you bestowed the Heartmen Shard upon us, the
00:27:17Ashworth name is now renowned for our healing arts.
00:27:20You see?
00:27:21These afflicted souls travel from the furthest corners of the kingdom, seeking our aid.
00:27:26So, the legendary Ashworth healing arts actually came from you.
00:27:33Tell me then, just how old are you exactly?
00:27:37Does it matter to you?
00:27:38Please, my lord!
00:27:40Save my mother!
00:27:41Wake up, Mama!
00:27:42Somebody help her!
00:27:43Have mercy!
00:27:44Please help my mother!
00:27:45I beg of you!
00:27:47This is all the coin I have.
00:27:48Please, show some mercy.
00:27:52A handful of dirty coppers?
00:27:54And you expect the Master's healing for that?
00:27:57Get out of here, now!
00:27:58Stop wasting everyone's time.
00:28:00Selina!
00:28:03Cedric!
00:28:04You're finally home!
00:28:06When I gave your family the Shard, it was to heal the broken.
00:28:10To serve the realm, not to exploit the weak.
00:28:13You have broken the pact.
00:28:15Give the Fragment back.
00:28:16Who do you think you are?
00:28:17How dare a commoner like you make demands in Ashwild Key?
00:28:21Silence! Show her respect!
00:28:24This is Selina Frost.
00:28:26A ward taken in by my father.
00:28:30Selina.
00:28:31We heal the sick, regardless of coin!
00:28:33Have you forgotten?
00:28:34Go to the chapel!
00:28:36Pray!
00:28:37Beg her forgiveness!
00:28:38You heard him!
00:28:39To the chapel, now!
00:28:42I beg your pardon, my lady.
00:28:44I had no idea she was extorting them.
00:28:48Rest assured, the Ashwoods honor your gift.
00:28:51We'd never turn away the poor.
00:28:53Most days, we treat all these commoners without asking for any money.
00:28:57I said, return the Shard.
00:29:01Or do you mean to defy me?
00:29:04No, no!
00:29:05The relic is rightfully yours!
00:29:07I will return it to you immediately.
00:29:09It is just, the Hartman Shard is kept safe by my eldest Marin.
00:29:14She's been in seclusion at a distant abbey for years.
00:29:17Once she returns from her retreat, I will present it to you myself.
00:29:20Fine. I will wait.
00:29:27Every time I return, she still won't see me.
00:29:32Fifteen years. Fifteen years since I've laid eyes on her.
00:29:35Does she really despise me that much?
00:29:37Why do you think she treats you with such coldness?
00:29:41Because of what I did.
00:29:43She hates me.
00:29:45When I was a boy, I almost died.
00:29:48My sister came for me.
00:29:50And the iron drove through her right arm in 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 back to life.
00:30:04But because of me, the scar on her arm never faded.
00:30:07And she was taken from me forever.
00:30:09She became a completely different person after that.
00:30:12The Hartman Shard was hers by birthright.
00:30:15With its power, she became the greatest healer in the kingdom.
00:30:18And then they sent her far away, to a quiet abbey where she could practice in peace.
00:30:23But I know the truth.
00:30:25That day became a thorn in her heart.
00:30:29One that will never be pulled out.
00:30:31Every time she looks at me, she remembers what saving me cost her.
00:30:34Everything is bound by consequence, Commander.
00:30:37You see only the branches above the soil, but you are blind to the roots below.
00:30:43What is that supposed to mean?
00:30:44You will know soon enough.
00:30:50My knees are hurting.
00:30:52I'll fetch the salve.
00:30:55Cedric just got back, and he's already screaming at me because of her!
00:30:59She's an honoured guest.
00:31:01Even Lord Ashworth had to apologise to her.
00:31:03Master Cedric serves her.
00:31:05People are whispering.
00:31:07She might be his future bride.
00:31:09His future bride?
00:31:10Look at her.
00:31:11She's a freak.
00:31:13With that filthy black rags.
00:31:15She doesn't deserve Cedric.
00:31:21Crone.
00:31:22What is that?
00:31:24Honey cakes.
00:31:25Master Cedric's favourite.
00:31:27And imperial spiced wine for Lady Morgana.
00:31:31Halt!
00:31:33Imperial spiced wine?
00:31:35A gift from the Emperor himself.
00:31:36It's worth a fortune.
00:31:38You really know how to grovel.
00:31:41Give it here.
00:31:45Healers always keep the best poisons.
00:31:47This widow's kiss is lethal.
00:31:50No taste, no cure.
00:31:53Drink up, Morgana.
00:31:54Go, take it to her.
00:31:57I cannot, my lady.
00:31:59She is Master Cedric's guest.
00:32:03Know your place!
00:32:05Without Ashfield Charity, a useless old crone would be rotting in the gutter.
00:32:11Pathetic.
00:32:17I am disciplining a servant.
00:32:19Since when does a blind freak interfere with Ashfield affairs?
00:32:22If your tongue serves only to offend, then you should not speak at all.
00:32:29Morgana.
00:32:31You little piece of-
00:32:33My lady, what is it?
00:32:34My lady, what's wrong?
00:32:35Please, say something!
00:32:37What's doing this?
00:32:38Guards! Help us!
00:32:40Get Lord Aldric! She's choking!
00:32:41She can't breathe!
00:32:42Lord Aldric!
00:32:43Please, hurry!
00:32:44I'm right here!
00:32:46Just breathe!
00:32:47She suddenly lost her voice!
00:32:49Selene is just a foolish girl.
00:32:51She didn't mean to offend you.
00:32:53I will make her apologize to you at once.
00:32:55What are you waiting for? Apologize!
00:32:57Now! Are you deaf?
00:32:59Do you want to be mute forever?
00:33:05My lady...
00:33:07I don't want your apology.
00:33:10Kneel to the one you truly wronged.
00:33:12Please, no! I'm nobody!
00:33:14A lady cannot kneel to me!
00:33:16I'm just a servant!
00:33:17Silence!
00:33:18Just be grateful!
00:33:20Every brick in this house rests on the Hartmann Shard.
00:33:24She built our legacy.
00:33:26Oracle, I beg you. She's terrified.
00:33:30Let it be enough, please. Have mercy.
00:33:39Your mercy is boundless, my lady. I will discipline the girl at once.
00:33:44Come, my lady. Let us go.
00:33:50Are you hurt?
00:33:52I am fine, my lord.
00:33:55You've grown so thin.
00:33:57The northern winds have been cruel to you.
00:33:59You must stay longer this time.
00:34:01Your name day is soon.
00:34:03I knitted you a pair of thick winter gloves.
00:34:06Let me fetch them for you.
00:34:07Wait right here for me.
00:34:10That old woman.
00:34:12Her devotion to you is genuine.
00:34:15It is.
00:34:16She has been here since I was a boy.
00:34:19Always kind to me.
00:34:20When I was injured as a boy, she sneaked me pouches.
00:34:24And every year on my name day, when my own sister was lost to me,
00:34:28she brought me warm broth and fresh bread.
00:34:31With her, I almost remember what having a sister felt like.
00:34:35If that is true, you should show her more grace while you can.
00:34:39I have seen the shadow on her.
00:34:41She has but a few days left.
00:34:44Do not wait until tomorrow to realize what you have lost.
00:34:51Listen to me, child.
00:34:53Never cross paths with Morgana again.
00:34:56She thinks she owns us.
00:34:58Patience, my sweet girl.
00:35:00I'm securing your future.
00:35:02Play the game.
00:35:04Let her think she's win.
00:35:06Soon, everything will be yours.
00:35:08Lady Morgana.
00:35:10Lady Ashfield has sent me to return the Hartman Shard to its rightful owner.
00:35:15We have heard when you take back what is yours, you offer a reading in return.
00:35:22Lady Ashworth has written her question right here on this parchment.
00:35:26Take it, Cedric.
00:35:32I will not answer this question because the Hartman Shard is a fake.
00:35:38What?
00:35:40A fake!
00:35:41Someone must have switched it when she wasn't looking.
00:35:44I'll get to the bottom of this.
00:35:45Tonight.
00:35:46Don't.
00:35:48What is mine will always return to my hands.
00:35:52Lady Morgana!
00:35:54Commander Ashford!
00:35:57The Emperor begs your aid!
00:35:59The Empress Door Wager is dying.
00:36:01The Royal Physicians can do nothing for her.
00:36:04His Majesty demands you come at once!
00:36:06Please, my lady, you are her only hope.
00:36:12Lead the way.
00:36:14Useless fools!
00:36:16What good are you if she dies?
00:36:18Your Majesty!
00:36:19Lady Morgana has arrived!
00:36:25Morgana, thank the gods you have come.
00:36:27Please, you must help her.
00:36:28Mother is-
00:36:29Her flame has burned out.
00:36:31Her time is over.
00:36:33Prepare the crypt.
00:36:34Lies!
00:36:35That is a lie!
00:36:36Your Majesty.
00:36:40I can save the Empress.
00:36:43Morgana.
00:36:44If you can't save her, stop making pathetic excuses.
00:36:49I say, you have no real power.
00:36:51You're nothing but a fraudulent witch.
00:36:54Selina!
00:36:55This is a royal chamber, not your playground!
00:36:57Your Grace.
00:36:58I can heal her.
00:36:59On my life.
00:37:00Selina Frost.
00:37:01You should know.
00:37:03Cedric knows it well.
00:37:05My prophecies are never wrong.
00:37:07Care to make a wager, then?
00:37:09On what?
00:37:10If I win, I want the Emperor to decree my marriage to Cedric.
00:37:14And I want your head severed from your neck.
00:37:18Your Grace.
00:37:19Madness!
00:37:20This is absolute madness!
00:37:21Gods!
00:37:22Drag this mad woman away!
00:37:24I accept.
00:37:30Very well.
00:37:31Give it a try.
00:37:33If you truly cure my mother, I will grant your every wish.
00:37:44So you stole the Hartman's schnaz.
00:37:47Cedric.
00:37:48I'll be a master healer, just like your sister.
00:37:52Then you'll finally see, I'm the only one for you.
00:37:56Forcing fate only brings ruin.
00:38:00If you insist on this path, you alone will choke on the ashes.
00:38:06Save your cheap parlor tricks.
00:38:08Healing the sick is God's work.
00:38:10There's no price for that.
00:38:13By the old blood, I command the vessel.
00:38:16Take the living spark.
00:38:18Feed the dying flame.
00:38:22Awaken.
00:38:26Wake up!
00:38:30Wake up!
00:38:34Wake!
00:38:35Wake up!
00:38:41What's happening?
00:38:42It burns! It burns! It burns! It burns! Oh, God!
00:38:52Water! Please!
00:39:00Mother! Mother! Wake up!
00:39:06My face! No!
00:39:09How 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. She's just an old crone. Nothing more. My lord!
00:39:41Get out.
00:39:41Y-yes, 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's 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.
00:40:56Then what about Maren? Explain Maren!
00:41:00She bore the shard for thirty years. Pulled thousands from the grave.
00:41:05Then she should be dust! She should be a rotting corpse! Why is she flawless? Why not her?
00:41:12Look at me! It took everything! My s-my skin! My life! Why just me?
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. Burned 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!
00:42:26Let 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!
00:42:33I couldn't let you see a monster.
00:42:37No.
00:42:37Stop 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.
00:43:49I looked right past her for years.
00:43:52Thank you for stripping away every excuse I had.
00:43:56I have her back.
00:43:57Whatever it cost 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.
00:44:24Maren!
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, I'm here.
00:44:55Look at me.
00:44:56Don't touch me, you 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.
00:45:15I'm here.
00:45:16Right here.
00:45:17I've got you.
00:45:23Lord Ashworth.
00:45:24She 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.
00:45:45Her life.
00:45:48I watched her disappear.
00:45:51Day by day.
00:45:52If the gods would take me instead,
00:45:54I'd go willingly.
00:45:56And 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
00:46:31and spread lies about my family.
00:46:35If you took no coin,
00:46:37then 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.
00:47:01The Ashhouse fled the Highlords dry in secret.
00:47:04They traded healing for mansions.
00:47:06For land.
00:47:08We thought you were a saint, Aldric.
00:47:10You're nothing but a leech.
00:47:12A parasite.
00:47:12You 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!
00:47:41The child you had with her
00:47:42has been living under this very roof.
00:47:44You 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.
00:48:46My sister is dead.
00:48:48She died a ruined servant under your roof.
00:48:52And you dare stand over her coffin
00:48:54and call her a thief!
00:48:56I will cut you apart right here!
00:48:58Cedric!
00:48:58Be reasonable!
00:48:59Look at what she had become!
00:49:00Who could look at that face
00:49:02and 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,
00:49:13it 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.
00:49:21She 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
00:49:36because it looked inside your chest
00:49:38and found nothing at all.
00:49:40You let a child wither in your place
00:49:43and 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
00:49:58how much of it you can bear.
00:50:04Very well.
00:50:07Very well.
00:50:09Very well.
00:50:31No! Get off me! I am the lord of this!
00:50:37No! No!
00:50:51Every year he stole from Maren. They just ripped it back.
00:51:14Maren! Can you hear me? Look at me!
00:51:20You... you came back.
00:51:27Remember your oath.
00:51:42The Hartman Shard. It's time it returned to you. You took another piece of your power straight into yourself. Will
00:51:49you absorb this one too?
00:51:55The Hartman Shard.
00:51:56The Hartman Shard.
00:52:03The Hartman Shard.
00:52:03The Hartman Shard.
00:52:05The Hartman Shard.
00:52:21Please! Help us! Have mercy!
00:52:28You're breathing. I watched you stop. I thought you were gone.
00:52:33You're shaking. Your birthday is soon. I still owe you bread and broth.
00:52:39I'll make it myself. Just don't close your eyes again. Promise me that.
00:52:45Her face still carries what the years cost her. But the thirty years Aldric took from her have been stripped
00:52:51from his bones. They're hers now. Her hand is healed. The debt is paid.
00:52:57She will never serve in the dark again. She lives. The transaction is complete.
00:53:06Oracle. You didn't owe us this. I will carry this mercy until my last breath.
00:53:17You gave my sister back her life. My life is no longer my own. It belongs to you. Every breath
00:53:24I draw belongs to your cause. I am your shield.
00:53:26Your blade. Point me at your enemies. Wherever you walk, I walk with you. Until my blood runs cold.
00:53:38Talk to me. Did the exorcism drain you? Are you hurt?
00:53:43I am not hurt. When I pulled the Hartman Shard from your sister, I absorbed thirty years of her memories.
00:53:49Every single day she spent trapped in that house. There's an echo now. A pressure in my chest.
00:53:56You have a rule. You reclaim a piece of your power. You owe the bloodline one truth. One ember. One
00:54:02question.
00:54:04Maren gave her whole youth to keep me alive. She never got to ask her question.
00:54:10Maren.
00:54:10So I'll ask it for her. Look into your prophecy, Morgana. Did my sister's sacrifice mean anything? Tell me.
00:54:20Your sister asked what waits for you in the north. I didn't lie to her. So I'll tell you exactly
00:54:25what I saw.
00:54:26There is a line drawn across your fate. A terminal point. If you follow me to Ironwall, if you walk
00:54:33into Ravencrest at my side, you will stand before someone and bleed until there is nothing left. And you will
00:54:39die. That is the end of it.
00:54:42In front of who? Who do I bleed for?
00:54:46Me. Knowing this. Knowing that every step north is a step towards your own grave. And you still want to
00:54:54come with me. Forget it. It doesn't matter.
00:55:00You are ordered to stay behind. I walk into Ironwall alone. I don't need a shield.
00:55:06I swore an oath to you. I stand between you and whatever comes. I'm going.
00:55:16I told you how this ends. Are you not afraid?
00:55:22I lead the Obsidian Guard. I have walked into the dark more times than I can count. Every time they
00:55:29said I wouldn't walk out. Every time they said the odds were broken. And I am still standing here. Let
00:55:37them come. I will survive it. And I will walk you out of Ironwall myself.
00:55:44You must think I'm completely useless with a blade. I've been sickly since childhood. My sister-in-law handles the
00:55:50killing. She lets me read instead. I apologize for the gate. It's just lately. The moment the sun sets, the
00:55:57dead walk. Vesta fears the undead soldiers breaching the walls, slaughtering our people. Please forgive the locked gates, my lady.
00:56:04These undead outside your walls. What is their origin? We don't know. Not since my grandfather fell. They don't discern
00:56:12friend from foe. They just butcher. For six months we've been trapped here. Powerless.
00:56:17Thorn was injured? Yes. Ambushed by the dead weeks ago. He hasn't woken since. Take me to him. Of course.
00:56:28Finn!
00:56:35You dare test me, boy? Who authorized you to breach the protocol? Who gave you leave to welcome stray vagras
00:56:42into my fortress? Do Frost Stokes' laws mean nothing to you?
00:56:46Vesper, wait. This is Lady Morgana.
00:56:49Grandfather foresaw this. He said a woman named Morgana would come for the Shard. We must show her absolute respect.
00:56:55The Patriarch is dying. He needs silence, not scavengers chasing fairy tales.
00:57:00Commander Vesper. Even the Emperor bows to Lady Morgana.
00:57:05I suggest you mind your tone before I cut out your tongue.
00:57:10Damn your southern king! Here, we follow north laws.
00:57:14Your laws. Tell me. What does the north demand?
00:57:19You want to see him? Bleed for it.
00:57:22Best me in combat. Win, and you get your audience.
00:57:26And your precious shard. Lose, and you crawl back south.
00:57:31Frostbite does not serve the weak.
00:57:33I'll gladly test your iron, Commander.
00:57:35Good! A real man! Bring me my steel!
00:57:49Hold the gate!
00:57:50I am Cedric Ashworth, Commander of the Obsidian Guards. Hold the gates!
00:57:55Gods!
00:57:55They're here! Fall back! Bar the gates!
00:58:02Go on, mate!
00:58:12Ring of steel! Protect Morgana!
00:58:21Ash to ash. Darkness breaks.
00:58:26Sand.
00:58:45This malice. I know it.
00:58:48She broke them. Who goes there?
00:58:51Morgana.
00:58:52Lady Morgana!
00:58:54Forgive me. My grandfather speaks of you often.
00:58:58And you are?
00:59:00Finn Ravenkest, my lady.
00:59:02Grandson to Patriarch Thorne.
00:59:04Morgana.
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.
00:59:22She holds the true bloodline.
00:59:25No one beats her.
00:59:26Is this it, then?
00:59:28The day you foreseen I would die.
00:59:50He's hurt!
00:59:51He will not die.
00:59:53He will not die.
00:59:56Playing with time!
01:00:13Well fought.
01:00:15Your form is decent, but you fight like you fear death, always leaving room to retreat.
01:00:21Remember, a real enemy won't give you quarter.
01:00:25The only way to outlive them is to care less about dying.
01:00:30Mother!
01:00:31Mother!
01:00:35There's my little bird.
01:00:37You promised me we'd practice archery today.
01:00:41I know.
01:00:42Go grab your bow.
01:00:43I'm coming.
01:00:43Okay.
01:00:47When you have something you can't leave behind, then teach me to fight.
01:00:52Tomorrow, I will grant you an audience of the Patriarch.
01:00:58You see, I am still breathing.
01:01:00If you had truly defied my vision, now that would be interesting.
01:01:09Two years ago, at the Bloodwater Siege, Vesta's husband begged the Emperor for reinforcements.
01:01:15But the Royal Court was busy preparing the Emperor's Jubilee.
01:01:19The army never marched.
01:01:20Her husband died in the mud, left 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, hold your nerve.
01:01:39My grandfather rests inside.
01:01:41Please, this way.
01:01:49What?
01:02:02My lady, the North is freezing.
01:02:04I brought you these heavy furs.
01:02:06Your 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.
01:02:22It 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.
01:02:35I can't even imagine it.
01:02:36So this is what the South grows.
01:02:39Here in Frostspike, the winter never ends.
01:02:42The ground is iron.
01:02:43Nothing this fragile could ever survive the frost.
01:02:47If it pleases you, boy, help us reclaim the shard from your king.
01:02:51And this mantle is yours to keep.
01:02:54Truly, you 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, because you are certain that Vesta will not surrender the shard.
01:03:14Is this?
01:03:15It is Thorn.
01:03:17Yes.
01:03:18Since the ambush six months ago, this crust began to form.
01:03:22It started around his wounds, then it spread, swallowing 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 ended in the snow six months ago.
01:04:00But his fury anchored him here.
01:04:03He refuses to pass on.
01:04:05And the shard buried within him gave his wrath a physical form, spawning the dead that batter your gates.
01:04:13While this stone shell devours his remaining soul.
01:04:17The undead?
01:04:19They came from my grandfather's own mind?
01:04:23What kind of nightmare could be powerful enough to 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.
01:04:47Save 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, but the shard must be freely given.
01:04:59Even 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.
01:05:06This pennant will hold the dead.
01:05:08Plant 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.
01:05:20My orders stand.
01:05:23You are my charge.
01:05:25I do not break the line.
01:05:41I remember a boy.
01:05:44One who chased my shadow.
01:05:46Always begging for stories.
01:05:48Now.
01:05:50Reduce to stone.
01:05:55Veil lift.
01:05:56Flesh bind.
01:05:59Awaken.
01:06:02Thorn.
01:06:05Ashworth!
01:06:06Her magic broke.
01:06:07She's bleeding.
01:06:08Their magic broke.
01:06:27She's bleeding.
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, who left the gate wide open.
01:06:43So, you're the rat.
01:06:45They butchered your parents, slaughtered your own brothers, they bled Frostbear dry, and you sold us out to the monsters?
01:06:54Sold us out? Monsters? Better than being the Crown's lapdog.
01:06:57Why should we bleed for them? Our ancestors all followed Morgana.
01:07:01We were equals once, but because they got different shards, some get to rule the capital, some get the gold.
01:07:07And what did the Raincreeps get? Three generations rotting in this frozen wasteland, bleeding out in the ice.
01:07:12Just another name on a tombstone, waiting to be wiped out.
01:07:17I won't let it end like this.
01:07:19I'm going to tear Frostfire down, break 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?
01:07:41It's so magical.
01:08:09Yes, I remember the vow.
01:08:13I gave you my word to hold this fortress, to bleed for the innocent.
01:08:21But the dead are here. The wolves are at the gates. I dare not leave.
01:08:29Enough, Thorn. You have bled enough. Your bloodline. Your men.
01:08:52You have bled enough.
01:08:55I'm going to die.
01:08:56I'm going to die.
01:09:00I'm going to die.
01:09:11Let the obsession die
01:09:15You must go
01:09:17Whatever my sister commands
01:09:22Thorn will always
01:09:23Obey
01:09:25But before I
01:09:27Return the shard
01:09:30Morgana
01:09:31May I ask you one question?
01:10:02Oh
01:10:04Oh
01:10:05Oh
01:10:05Oh
01:10:05Oh
01:10:06Oh
01:10:07Oh
01:10:08Oh
01:10:21Oh
01:10:34Sis, you came.
01:10:38Sister, I...
01:10:39What is happening to me?
01:10:41Where are we?
01:10:43Your mortal life is ended.
01:10:45But your obsession anchored you here.
01:10:48Your soul was twisted by inner demons and the shard.
01:10:53You are nothing but a lingering phantom now.
01:11:08What did you want to ask?
01:11:12All these years, alone in the dark.
01:11:20Were you all right, Morgana?
01:11:36You won't touch her!
01:11:38I was fine.
01:11:45That is good.
01:12:01I was fine.
01:12:04I was fine.
01:12:24The witch.
01:12:38So, this is the death you saw from me? You are never wrong.
01:12:45Morgana, it seems I won't be here to help you. Take back what is yours.
01:13:10I make no grand claims, but I swear, I will help you take it all back.
01:13:33Monster. Monster, you godless monster!
01:13:37Monster.
01:13:50This world is sick.
01:13:58Finn, why would you do this?
01:14:02My brother, he died because the crown, because the crown never sent reinforcements.
01:14:09He bled out in the snow.
01:14:11And ever since then, I haven't seen you smile. Not truly. I was so close. Just a little more than
01:14:23I could have taken you away from this prison.
01:14:28You foolish boy. Frostfire is now prison.
01:14:34Look at the people behind these walls. The thousands we pulled from the slaughter.
01:14:38The soldiers I trained with my own hands. Every block of black stone, every frozen inch of the north, holds
01:14:46my 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. I 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.
01:15:20So 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.
01:15:55No 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.
01:16:29And 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.
01:17:20I stripped everything away. Bound it to the obsidian.
01:17:24Twelve fragments, given to twelve disciples, to save this world.
01:17:30Sixty years have passed. My 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? You never change your boots.
01:17:48I've never seen you eat. Or sleep, for that matter. Your hair turned white.
01:17:53Silence.
01:18:04Morgana, I will help you get it all back. Every last piece. You have my word. No matter what it
01:18:15takes. No matter the cost.
01:18:23That shard of the crown was torn from my own veins. A single drop of my heart's blood.
01:18:34I never thought you would waste such a priceless piece of yourself on me. I never thought I'd even be
01:18:40alive.
01:18:41My lady, you always said your prophecies are absolute. Never wrong. To give me the shard. To force me to
01:18:47live.
01:18:48Isn't this defying the gods themselves?
01:18:50Taking the heart back was a mistake.
01:18:58Morgana.
01:18:59To his east tower.
01:19:24My Lady, forgive me.
01:19:28Assassins!
01:19:44This... southern blood magic.
01:19:46They say one puppet butchers ten men, and 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.
01:20:49Farewell.
01:20:50Be wary.
01:20:52Without the Primordial Crown's shard, the Horde will show no mercy.
01:20:57I know the risks, but I command this gate.
01:21:01Shard or no shard, the Ravencrasts will hold this line.
01:21:05To the last breath.
01:21:09The Horde is at our walls.
01:21:11I ride with the Vanguard.
01:21:13Godspeed.
01:21:27Why didn't you tell her about the warding spikes you planted?
01:21:31The wards are nothing, compared to the Primordial blood, still boiling in their veins.
01:21:36They will survive.
01:21:40What's happening?
01:21:41Are you alright?
01:21:42I feel a disturbance.
01:21:44A forbading sensation.
01:21:46I have looked ahead.
01:21:47I wish I had not.
01:21:49The road before us is dark, Cedric.
01:22:07We must push forward.
01:22:09Wherever you go, I will follow.
01:22:12Where to next?
01:22:14South.
01:22:15South.
01:22:15To the Scarlet Lands.
01:22:17I want to meet the fool who thought they could kill me.
01:22:22My lady, please.
01:22:23Rest inside.
01:22:25I will bring it to you myself.
01:22:27It is exactly where you left it, my lady.
01:22:30Untouched.
01:22:31You give it up so easily.
01:22:33It was never mine to keep.
01:22:34You know what it built.
01:22:36You know what it built.
01:22:36Your entire dynasty.
01:22:38Hundreds' years of power.
01:22:40Titles.
01:22:41The crown's favor.
01:22:42The gift of seeing into men's hearts.
01:22:45Without it, you are nothing but a blind man stumbling in the dark.
01:22:49The blood covenant my grandfather sworn finds every generation after him.
01:22:54House Alistair owes you everything it has and everything it is.
01:22:58You have my word.
01:22:59I will honor the pact.
01:23:01Willingly.
01:23:03The old man bred well.
01:23:06An obedient heir.
01:23:13Since when does my father kneel for peasants?
01:23:18The Iris Ember, my lady.
01:23:21A covenant is a trade.
01:23:22I take back what is mine.
01:23:24And I leave you one truth.
01:23:27The old laws demand it.
01:23:30Ask your question.
01:23:32My lady.
01:23:33In a few days, Isabella weds the crown prince.
01:23:37I need to...
01:23:39I need to know what waits for her.
01:23:41You want to know if she lives.
01:23:44Without my Ember watching over her.
01:23:46What her crown will cost.
01:23:48Yes.
01:23:49Please.
01:23:49Tell me her fate.
01:23:52Bring the girl to me.
01:23:54Mother.
01:23:55The night before my royal wedding,
01:23:57some blind woman in funeral rags walks into our home.
01:24:01And father knelt for her.
01:24:04Tell me the truth.
01:24:05Is she one of his lowborn mistresses?
01:24:08Crawling here to beg for coins?
01:24:10If we allow that woman to stand in our halls
01:24:14without putting her on her knees,
01:24:16she will believe she belongs here.
01:24:19And we cannot have that.
01:24:21Then let's remind her
01:24:23how this house treats beggars.
01:24:25All over the chains with a maid。
01:24:28Please I love you if you love it!
