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 Alistair.
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.
00:01:17House Alistram is yours. Show us mercy.
00:01:20My lord. You are a duke. You kneel to no one but the king.
00:01:24One more word. And 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, I broke myself into twelve embers.
00:02:10The throne was secured.
00:02:13It is time.
00:02:20To reclaim them all.
00:02:24My lady, please. Rest inside. I will bring it to you myself.
00:02:29It is exactly where you left it, my lady.
00:02:32Untouched.
00:02:33You give it up so easily.
00:02:35It was never mine to keep.
00:02:37You know what it built.
00:02:39Your entire dynasty.
00:02:41Hundreds years of power.
00:02:43Titles.
00:02:44The crown's favour.
00:02:45The gift of seeing into men's hearts.
00:02:47Without it, you are nothing but a blind man stumbling in the dark.
00:02:51The blood covenant my grandfather sworn binds every generation after him.
00:02:56House Alistair owes you everything it has.
00:02:59And everything it is.
00:03:00You have my word.
00:03:02I will honour the pact.
00:03:04Willingly.
00:03:06The old man bred well.
00:03:09An obedient heir.
00:03:16Since when does my father kneel for peasants?
00:03:20The iris ember, my lady.
00:03:23A covenant is a trade.
00:03:25I take back what is mine.
00:03:27And I leave you one truth.
00:03:30The old laws demand it.
00:03:32Ask your question.
00:03:34My lady.
00:03:36In a few days, Isabella weds the crown prince.
00:03:39I need to...
00:03:41I need to know what waits for her.
00:03:44You want to know if she lives.
00:03:46Without my ember watching over her.
00:03:49What her crown will cost.
00:03:50Yes.
00:03:51Please.
00:03:52Tell me her fate.
00:03:54Bring the girl to me.
00:03:57Mother.
00:03:58The night before my royal wedding,
00:04:00some blind woman in funeral rags walks into our home.
00:04:04And father knelt for her.
00:04:06Tell me the truth.
00:04:07Is she one of his lowborn mistresses?
00:04:10Crawling here to beg for coin?
00:04:13If we allow that woman to stand in our halls,
00:04:16without putting her on her knees,
00:04:19she will believe she belongs here.
00:04:22And we cannot have that.
00:04:24Then let's remind her how this house treats beggars.
00:04:33I assumed we were hosting royalty.
00:04:35For my husband to grovel so.
00:04:38To greet you himself.
00:04:40I simply had to see who...
00:04:43Who forms?
00:04:43Without her with her.
00:04:51Maganna.
00:04:52Maganna, was it?
00:04:53You are a guest in my halls.
00:04:56Drink.
00:05:01Your wine, my lady.
00:05:03A blind witch.
00:05:05This shall prove too easy.
00:05:16But... I told them to boil it!
00:05:19Dorish vintage.
00:05:20Pity it turned to vinegar. Masked with... heavy spice.
00:05:26Poured from the rot at the bottom of your cellar.
00:05:29Is this... how House Alistair hides its decay?
00:05:33How could she possibly smell that?
00:05:35She knows. How could she know?
00:05:38You insolent wretch! Keep your filthy mouth!
00:05:45By his wits alone did Lord Alistair survive.
00:05:48Isabella, your gown!
00:05:50A tragedy. His bloodline rots with you.
00:05:54How dare you! My husband may tolerate your delusions, but I will not!
00:05:58You just assaulted the future Crown Princess. By royal decree, you will kneel and you will bleed for it!
00:06:05She is a fool. You are worse.
00:06:09Even the gods of the underworld have yet to see me kneel.
00:06:14Why would you?
00:06:16We shall see.
00:06:19Guards, take her!
00:06:24And break her legs.
00:06:26Do it!
00:06:31Seize her!
00:06:33Now!
00:06:33Now!
00:06:48Stop!
00:06:49Stop this at once!
00:06:52Fools!
00:06:56Morgana!
00:06:57They know nothing!
00:06:59They acted out of turn!
00:07:01Spare them!
00:07:02I beg of you!
00:07:04Alistair!
00:07:05Father!
00:07:06Both of you!
00:07:07You blind arrogant fools!
00:07:09She chose restraint!
00:07:11Or you would already be ashes upon this floor!
00:07:14On your knees!
00:07:16Beg for your lives!
00:07:18I bow to no one!
00:07:20I am the future Crown Princess!
00:07:23I will wear the crown!
00:07:25I will rule this realm!
00:07:29I am a queen!
00:07:31She is just a-
00:07:36A pity.
00:07:39No crown rests on a dead woman.
00:07:44You will die before the wedding bells ring.
00:07:51Please.
00:08:02No.
00:08:04You!
00:08:05Get out of my house!
00:08:07Silence your tongue!
00:08:09Morgana, please.
00:08:11How do we stop this?
00:08:13Call off the royal wedding.
00:08:15Break betrothed
00:08:18Or
00:08:19She dies
00:08:29The Royal Escort
00:08:31Led by the Obsidian Guard
00:08:32Commander Cedric himself
00:08:35The Reaper of the Realm
00:08:43The prophecy is written
00:08:48And the King's Edict
00:08:59Commander Cedric
00:09:01You heard the prophecy
00:09:02If Isabella rides to the palace today
00:09:04It will be her funeral
00:09:06The Crown commands this union, Lord Alistair
00:09:10My escort is already at your gates
00:09:14You dare defy the throne over cheap politrix
00:09:17And break the royal contract?
00:09:20Unless...
00:09:22You doubt my ability to keep her breathing
00:09:26No, Commander
00:09:27Your blade is legendary
00:09:29Your tactics flawless
00:09:30The King trusts no other
00:09:32She is safe with you
00:09:35But Morgana has seen it
00:09:37She is our only hope
00:09:39Alistair
00:09:40The King's patience is not infinite
00:09:43Do not humiliate us for a blind witch
00:09:45The Crown's wrath will burn this castle to the ground
00:09:49I will not let you ruin us
00:09:51She is right, Father
00:09:52I am perfectly safe with the commander
00:09:56Have the carriage ready
00:09:57I will fetch my veil
00:10:04Isabella!
00:10:05Let her go
00:10:07The hour is set
00:10:08My debt shall be claimed when the blood runs dry
00:10:21I am ready, Father
00:10:23The Crown is mine
00:10:25Our legacy begins
00:10:29My daughter
00:10:30Our ultimate masterpiece
00:10:35Lock it down, double guards
00:10:37Kill anything that moves
00:10:38Nothing touched that carriage
00:10:40Are we clear?
00:10:41Crystal clear, Captain
00:10:42Consider it done
00:10:44You're wasting men
00:10:47The prophecy is spoken
00:10:49The Bride won't survive this journey
00:10:51I am never wrong
00:10:53Enlighten me then, Oracle
00:10:54Give me a name
00:10:56How exactly does she die?
00:10:59Give me real intel
00:11:01Do that, I might believe you
00:11:02Seeing the end requires a price
00:11:04A transaction
00:11:06I see the blood
00:11:08The question is
00:11:09Can you afford it?
00:11:12There it is
00:11:13The classic shakedown
00:11:15We always get here
00:11:16Just a beggar
00:11:17I could watch the Duke's daughter
00:11:18In her wedding dress
00:11:19Perfectly protected by your elite guards
00:11:22Ride straight to her execution
00:11:24Let me ride with your convoy
00:11:27Take me
00:11:28I'll prove you wrong
00:11:34Play the prophet
00:11:36Watch her cross those gates alive
00:11:41I'll feel the blood
00:11:45Bring the oracle a horse
00:12:09Take me
00:12:10If you ever have died
00:12:12Come the body
00:12:13Help me
00:12:13Help me
00:12:13Help me
00:12:14Come the body
00:12:14Help me
00:12:16Help me
00:12:33Take them to the Iron Court.
00:12:36I want a name.
00:12:37Yes, Commander!
00:12:45Thank the gods Cedric was here.
00:12:48We're safe.
00:12:50He earned his coin.
00:12:54You fight well, mortal.
00:12:57Pity it changes nothing.
00:12:58I do not guess.
00:13:01The grave is dug.
00:13:04The hour is here!
00:13:05Step forward, future Empress!
00:13:14Isabella, my love, finally.
00:13:21No!
00:13:22God!
00:13:31The prophecy, she knew.
00:13:34How?
00:13:35She was right there!
00:13:37The prophecy is fulfilled.
00:13:39Her blood is spilled.
00:13:41You killed my daughter!
00:13:43Your daughter's death was a tragedy.
00:13:45Eleanor, don't provoke her.
00:13:47Look at the carriage!
00:13:48The doors were sealed!
00:13:49Who else could bypass those locks?
00:13:52Enough!
00:13:52Seal the gates!
00:13:54Nobody leaves this yort yard!
00:13:55You're all suspects!
00:13:57Take them to the Iron Court!
00:14:04We're alone.
00:14:05Just tell me the damn truth.
00:14:07How did you reach inside a moving, heavily guarded carriage and take her head without a single
00:14:12sound?
00:14:14You mapped out her execution beforehand.
00:14:17Fine.
00:14:19Say you didn't swing the blade yourself.
00:14:23But you orchestrated this.
00:14:26If that comforts you, you may use it.
00:14:33I see the threads.
00:14:35Every drop of blood before it falls.
00:14:38The end is written.
00:14:40You're just walking the path blind.
00:14:43Cut the riddles.
00:14:44You're in my cell now.
00:14:48If you see everything, then what happens next?
00:14:52Does the blade slip?
00:14:54Does the steel bite?
00:14:55Or maybe I'm just sick of your games and slit your throat right now!
00:14:58Did you see that?!
00:15:03A seer is blind to her own end.
00:15:06That is the only law I obey.
00:15:09Then tell me how this ends.
00:15:12But you cannot kill me, Cedric.
00:15:17Let's put that to the test.
00:15:19Steel cannot touch me.
00:15:24By drawing it on me, you owe a deadly debt.
00:15:28Madness.
00:15:28I serve the crown.
00:15:30I don't fear witches.
00:15:34Still believe in hard facts, Commander?
00:15:37Commander!
00:15:39We have a situation.
00:15:40The prisoners from the ambush, sir.
00:15:42They took poison.
00:15:44Hidden in their teeth.
00:15:45They're all dead.
00:15:46Trails cold.
00:15:47Dead?!
00:15:48You let our only witnesses die in chains?!
00:15:50They were paid to die.
00:15:52They'd never talk.
00:15:54You want the true killer?
00:15:56Stop asking the living.
00:15:58They only lie.
00:15:58I'll make the dead speak.
00:16:07You said you could make the dead speak.
00:16:09Name your price.
00:16:11There's always a price with you.
00:16:13Always.
00:16:14Name it.
00:16:15Whatever closes this investigation.
00:16:17I want your absolute obedience.
00:16:21When I speak, you do not question.
00:16:24When I point, you do not hesitate.
00:16:27My loyalty is to the crown.
00:16:29I don't give blind trust.
00:16:31I have the killer.
00:16:33If you put the murderer in front of me,
00:16:35then you have my trust.
00:16:38Don't make a vow you can't keep, Commander.
00:16:40You have my word.
00:16:42I won't break it.
00:16:47Take this.
00:16:49Sew her head back on.
00:16:51You want me to mutilate a royal corpse?
00:16:53Every second you wait, she fades.
00:16:59Her soul is bleeding out.
00:17:03It's done.
00:17:04What now?
00:17:06Open the doors.
00:17:08Bring them all.
00:17:09The grieving father.
00:17:12The weeping mother.
00:17:14Bring the prince who lost his bride.
00:17:16We are going to hold a court of our own.
00:17:25Isabella!
00:17:26My baby!
00:17:27Oh God!
00:17:28Hold her back.
00:17:29Don't let her touch the body.
00:17:30Let me go!
00:17:31That's my daughter!
00:17:33Why is she here?
00:17:34Why is that blind woman in the judge's seat?
00:17:37Commander Ashworth!
00:17:39She killed her!
00:17:40She cursed my daughter and you let her sit there!
00:17:43His Royal Highness, Prince Kale!
00:17:47Isabella!
00:17:47Let me through!
00:17:49Isabella!
00:17:50No!
00:17:51Look what they did to you!
00:17:52My beautiful girl!
00:17:54The audience is here.
00:17:56Let the performance end.
00:17:58Flesh to thread.
00:18:02Bone to command.
00:18:04Rise.
00:18:05Rise.
00:18:10You demanded proof, Commander.
00:18:14Behold the truth.
00:18:16You wove the crimson soul thread yourself.
00:18:20The bond is forged.
00:18:23Ask her.
00:18:25Isabella Alastom.
00:18:27Is your killer here?
00:18:52Keep that thing away!
00:18:54She's bewitched!
00:18:56Ah!
00:19:01The crown is ours, father.
00:19:18Edmund Alliston.
00:19:24Now confess.
00:19:30Edmund Alliston.
00:19:32Do you confess?
00:19:34I confess to nothing!
00:19:36You sick witch!
00:19:37You killed her!
00:19:39You puppeted her corpse to frame us!
00:19:42He took you in.
00:19:44You repay us with blood!
00:19:47This is madness!
00:19:48A father doesn't slaughter his own blood!
00:19:52Isabella was my pride!
00:19:54Why would I destroy my own future?
00:19:57See the truth!
00:19:58His own blood.
00:19:59That's true.
00:20:01But what if that girl was never your blood at all?
00:20:06Eleanor.
00:20:08Why did the Emperor betroth Isabella to Prince Kale?
00:20:11It was destiny!
00:20:13The Emperor declared it.
00:20:15They were born the exact same hour.
00:20:18Blessed by the gods.
00:20:21Wait!
00:20:23It's impossible!
00:20:24Edmund, tell me you didn't!
00:20:27I had to secure our bloodline.
00:20:33Give me the child I must see.
00:20:36Tell the truth.
00:20:37Is it a boy?
00:20:39A girl, my lady.
00:20:41A girl?
00:20:42No! You're lying!
00:20:44A daughter.
00:20:45Just as I said.
00:20:46Why me?
00:20:51The consort is waiting.
00:20:53If it's a boy, I'm ruined!
00:20:56Breathe, my lady.
00:20:57Panic is a luxury we can't afford.
00:20:59Duke Alistair has already arranged a solution.
00:21:01Bring the bundle inside.
00:21:03Now.
00:21:07Look closely.
00:21:09Pure Alistair blood.
00:21:11A flawless son.
00:21:12Yours, if you dare.
00:21:16A son!
00:21:17From now on you are mine.
00:21:20The true heir of this house.
00:21:23My son.
00:21:25My heir.
00:21:45You're telling this court I'm Duke Alistair's son?
00:21:49No.
00:21:50No.
00:21:51No.
00:21:52No, no.
00:21:52I am the Crown Prince!
00:21:57It can't be.
00:21:58How could my husband do such a thing?
00:22:01This is treason!
00:22:03What could he possibly want to risk all our lives?
00:22:06What did he want?
00:22:07Your son, sitting on the throne.
00:22:10That's what he wanted.
00:22:13You need proof to make such claims.
00:22:16This dark sorcery proves absolutely nothing.
00:22:19Lord Alistair, if I had to guess.
00:22:22The moment the Emperor degreed Isabella's marriage, you realized if she entered the royal court, the crown would eventually discover
00:22:28her secret.
00:22:29So you hired a pack of mercenaries to stage a bandit raid on the carriage.
00:22:33But Morgana's warning put my guard on alert.
00:22:35You feared with extra men your hired killers wouldn't be able to finish the job, so you killed your own
00:22:40daughter before she left.
00:22:41And as for your loyal servants, they break much faster than paid assassins.
00:22:45Commander! Commander Ashworth! Lord Alistair's personal guard, they've confessed to everything!
00:22:49The signed confessions.
00:22:51They admit the Duke ordered them to silence Isabella before she even left.
00:22:59My entire life of scheming!
00:23:03All crushed by fate's cruel hand.
00:23:07The eye you granted us gave House Alistair absolute power.
00:23:11Unmatched wealth!
00:23:13Unmatched glory!
00:23:15But the Emperor still stood above me!
00:23:17Until that day...
00:23:20When I saw...
00:23:23I saw...
00:23:28I saw the truth.
00:23:30If my son took the cradle...
00:23:33He'd rule the world.
00:23:35But the vision didn't end there.
00:23:38I saw the flaw that would kill us.
00:23:39The decree.
00:23:41The royal wedding.
00:23:43If Isabella entered that palace...
00:23:45He would see my daughter.
00:23:49He'd see the exact face of the young Empress.
00:23:53He's not blind.
00:23:55He'd know exactly what I did.
00:23:58I had no choice!
00:23:59You must see that!
00:24:01I had to cut the rot out.
00:24:03I had to protect my family!
00:24:06My son will be Emperor!
00:24:07I had to!
00:24:13Morgana, I confess it all.
00:24:15Punish me alone.
00:24:16I beg you, look at me!
00:24:18Remember my father's loyalty!
00:24:21Spare my wife!
00:24:23He's lying!
00:24:24We knew nothing!
00:24:25Please!
00:24:26I'm begging you!
00:24:27Take my life, but let them live!
00:24:30Granted.
00:24:31Thank you, Oracle.
00:24:34My life for theirs.
00:24:37Edmund!
00:24:38No!
00:24:39Edmund!
00:24:40No, Edmund!
00:24:42Edmund!
00:24:44Please stay!
00:24:47Wake up!
00:24:48Please don't leave me!
00:24:54Do you see!?
00:24:57Move!
00:25:02Tick!
00:25:07Who's up?
00:25:09Move!
00:25:22I gave them my sight
00:25:24To watch the dark
00:25:27Instead, they watched the throne
00:25:29Built a lie
00:25:31Thought they could cheat fate
00:25:33Thought they owned me
00:25:35They own nothing
00:25:37I'm taking it all back
00:25:39With blood
00:25:42Mortal hands cannot hold the weight of a god
00:25:44It crushes them
00:25:47The Alistair debt is settled
00:25:49My sight is mine again
00:25:52Now
00:25:53We move to the next house
00:25:56Stop
00:25:57You can't just march in there
00:25:59This is treason
00:26:00I must alert the Emperor
00:26:02No need to call the Emperor
00:26:04He's already here
00:26:11Gods
00:26:17Your Majesty
00:26:21By royal decree
00:26:23Prince Kale and the Empress
00:26:24Are hereby spankstripped of titles
00:26:26They shall be cast into the Black Cells

00:27:01Will answer only to your command

00:27:07For one question
00:27:09You want a prophecy?
00:27:10Give me your family's
00:27:12Ancient inheritance
00:27:13The crown shard in exchange
00:27:17Right
00:27:18If you wish to reclaim the shard
00:27:21I will gladly return it
00:27:23After all
00:27:25My family owes are thrown to you
00:27:27Power is a debt
00:27:28When I give
00:27:29And when I take
00:27:30Is my choice alone
00:27:32Why the rush?
00:27:34Ah, yes
00:27:35You are completely right
00:27:36Please
00:27:37Rest at Ashermyth Palace
00:27:39Everything will grant her than
00:27:41No, no
00:27:41Higher than Imperial standards
00:27:43No need
00:27:45I am going to Ashworth Keep
00:27:47Besides
00:27:48My heart
00:27:51Currently belongs to him
00:27:59Yes, yes, of course
00:28:00Take my royal carriage
00:28:05Please, my Lady
00:28:06After you
00:28:06Your Grace, that is the Sovereign's carriage
00:28:09It breaks royal protocol
00:28:11Shut your mouth!
00:28:13Lady Morgana is the law
00:28:15Her word is absolute
00:28:16There is no protocol in this world
00:28:17That outrants her
00:28:18Isn't that right, my dear lady?
00:28:21Please
00:28:22Mind the step, my lady
00:28:24Careful now
00:28:25Very careful
00:28:27Commander Ashworth

00:28:31I swear to God
00:28:32I will hang every last member
00:28:33Of your retted house
00:28:34Do I make myself clear?
00:28:37Crystal clear, Your Grace
00:28:38My dear Lady Morgana
00:28:39I have just remembered
00:28:41Some urgent matters of state
00:28:43To attend to
00:28:44I must take my leave
00:28:50You serve Lady Morgana now
00:28:51Farewell
00:28:52Have a pleasant journey
00:28:57Earlier you said
00:28:58That I had your heart
00:29:00What the hell does that mean?
00:29:02Sixty years ago
00:29:04My heart was carved from my chest
00:29:07It is not with you
00:29:10It is in your house
00:29:12My house?
00:29:17This way Lady Morgana
00:29:18Thanks to Your Grace
00:29:19Sixty years ago
00:29:20When you bestowed the Heartmen Shard upon us
00:29:23The Ashworth name is now renowned for our healing arts
00:29:25You see
00:29:26These afflicted souls
00:29:28Travel from the furthest corners of the kingdom
00:29:30Seeking our aid
00:29:32So
00:29:32The legendary Ashworth healing arts
00:29:36Actually came from you
00:29:38Tell me then
00:29:39Just how old are you exactly?
00:29:42Does it matter to you?
00:29:44Please my lord
00:29:45Save my mother
00:29:46Wake up mama
00:29:48Somebody help her
00:29:49Have mercy
00:29:49Please help my mother
00:29:50I beg of you
00:29:52This is all the coin I have
00:29:54Please
00:29:56Show some mercy
00:29:57A handful of dirty coppers
00:29:59And you expect the master's healing for that?
00:30:02Get out of here
00:30:03Now
00:30:04Stop wasting everyone's time
00:30:05Selina
00:30:09Cedric
00:30:09You're finally home
00:30:11When I gave your family the shard
00:30:13It was to heal the broken
00:30:15To serve the realm
00:30:17Not to exploit the weak
00:30:18You have broken the pact
00:30:20Give the fragment back
00:30:21Who do you think you are?
00:30:23How dare a commoner like you
00:30:25Make demands in Ashwild Key?
00:30:27Silence!
00:30:28Show her respect!
00:30:30This is Selina Frost
00:30:31A ward
00:30:33Taken in by my father
00:30:36Selina
00:30:36We heal the sick
00:30:38Regardless of coin
00:30:39Have you forgotten?
00:30:40Go to the chapel
00:30:41Pray
00:30:42Beg her forgiveness
00:30:43You heard him
00:30:44To the chapel now
00:30:48I beg your pardon my lady
00:30:50I had no idea she was extorting them
00:30:54Rest assured
00:30:55The Ashwilds honor your gift
00:30:56We'd never turn away the poor
00:30:58Most days
00:30:59We treat all these commoners
00:31:01Without asking for any money
00:31:03I said return the shard
00:31:07Or do you mean to defy me?
00:31:09No, no
00:31:10The relic is rightfully yours
00:31:13I will return it to you immediately
00:31:14It is just
00:31:16The Hartman's Shard
00:31:17Is kept safe by my eldest Marin
00:31:19She's been in seclusion
00:31:21At a distant abbey for years
00:31:22Once she returns from her retreat
00:31:24I will present it to you myself
00:31:25Fine
00:31:26I will wait
00:31:32Every time I return
00:31:34She still won't see me
00:31:37Fifteen years
00:31:38Fifteen years since I've laid eyes on her
00:31:40Does she really despise me that much?
00:31:43Why do you think she treats you with such coldness?
00:31:47Because of what I did
00:31:49She hates me
00:31:51When I was a boy
00:31:52I almost died
00:31:54My sister came for me
00:31:56And the iron drove through her right arm in my place
00:31:59She was never the same again
00:32:04She was a master healer
00:32:05Those gifted hands
00:32:08She could bring the dying back to life
00:32:09But because of me
00:32:11The scar on her arm never faded
00:32:13And she was taken from me forever
00:32:15She became a completely different person after that
00:32:17The Hartman's Shard was hers by birthright
00:32:21With its power
00:32:22She became the greatest healer in the kingdom
00:32:24And then they sent her far away
00:32:25To a quiet abbey
00:32:27Where she could practice in peace
00:32:29But I know the truth
00:32:31That day
00:32:32Became a thorn in her heart
00:32:34One that will never be pulled out
00:32:36Every time she looks at me
00:32:37She remembers what saving me cost her
00:32:40Everything is bound by consequence, Commander
00:32:43You see only the branches above the soil
00:32:45But you are blind to the roots below
00:32:48What is that supposed to mean?
00:32:50You will know soon enough
00:32:56My knees are hurting
00:32:57I'll fetch the salve
00:33:00Cedric just got back
00:33:01And he's already screaming at me because of her
00:33:05She's an honoured guest
00:33:06Even Lord Ashworth had to apologise to her
00:33:08Master Cedric serves her
00:33:10People are whispering
00:33:12She might be his future bride
00:33:14His future bride?
00:33:16Look at her
00:33:17She's a freak
00:33:18With that filthy black rags
00:33:21She doesn't deserve Cedric
00:33:26Crone
00:33:27What is that?
00:33:29Honeycakes
00:33:30Master Cedric's favourite
00:33:32And Imperial Spiced Wine
00:33:34For Lady Morgana
00:33:36Halt
00:33:38Imperial Spiced Wine?
00:33:40A gift from the Emperor himself
00:33:42It's worth a fortune
00:33:43You really know how to grovel
00:33:47Give it here
00:33:50Healers always keep the best poisons
00:33:53This widow's kiss is lethal
00:33:56No taste, no cure
00:33:58Drink up, Morgana
00:34:00Go, take it to her
00:34:02I cannot, my lady
00:34:04She is Master Cedric's guest
00:34:08Know your place
00:34:10Without Ashfield Charity
00:34:12A useless old crone
00:34:14Would be rotting in the gutter
00:34:17Pathetic
00:34:22I am disciplining a servant
00:34:24Since when does a blind freak
00:34:26Interfere with Ashfield affairs?
00:34:28If your tongue serves only to offend
00:34:30Then you should not speak at all
00:34:35Morgana
00:34:36You little piece of
00:34:39My lady, what is it?
00:34:40My lady, what's wrong?
00:34:41Please, say something
00:34:42What's doing this?
00:34:44Guards, help us
00:34:45Get Lord Aldric
00:34:46She's choking
00:34:47She can't breathe
00:34:48Lord Aldric
00:34:49Please, hurry
00:34:50I'm right here
00:34:51Just breathe
00:34:52She suddenly lost her voice
00:34:55Selene is just a foolish girl
00:34:56She didn't mean to offend you
00:34:58I will make her apologise to you at once
00:35:00What are you waiting for?
00:35:02Apologise
00:35:02Now
00:35:03Are you deaf?
00:35:04Do you want to be mute forever?
00:35:10My lady
00:35:13I don't want your apology
00:35:14Kneel to the one you truly wronged
00:35:18Please, no
00:35:19I'm nobody
00:35:20A lady cannot kneel to me
00:35:22I'm just a servant
00:35:23Silence
00:35:24Just be grateful
00:35:25Every brick in this house
00:35:27Rests on the Hartman Shard
00:35:29She built our legacy
00:35:32Oracle, I beg you
00:35:33She's terrified
00:35:36Let it be enough
00:35:37Please
00:35:38Have mercy
00:35:44Your mercy is boundless, my lady
00:35:47I will discipline the girl at once
00:35:50Come, my lady
00:35:51Let us go
00:35:56Are you hurt?
00:35:57I am fine, my lord
00:36:00You've grown so thin
00:36:02The northern winds have been cruel to you
00:36:04You must stay longer this time
00:36:06Your name day is soon
00:36:08I knitted you a pair of thick winter gloves
00:36:11Let me fetch them for you
00:36:12Wait right here for me
00:36:16That old woman
00:36:18Her devotion to you is genuine
00:36:21It is
00:36:22She has been here since I was a boy
00:36:24Always kind to me
00:36:25When I was injured as a boy
00:36:27She sneaked me pouches
00:36:29And every year on my name day
00:36:31When my own sister was lost to me
00:36:33She brought me warm broth and fresh bread
00:36:37With her
00:36:38I almost remember what having a sister felt like
00:36:40If that is true
00:36:42You should show her more grace while you can
00:36:44I have seen the shadow on her
00:36:46She has but a few days left
00:36:49Do not wait until tomorrow
00:36:51To realize what you have lost
00:36:56Listen to me, child
00:36:58Never cross paths with Morgana again
00:37:01She thinks she owns us
00:37:03Patience, my sweet girl
00:37:05I am securing your future
00:37:07Play the game
00:37:09Let her think she's win
00:37:10Soon, everything will be yours
00:37:14Lady Morgana
00:37:15Lady Ashfield has sent me
00:37:17To return the Hartman Shard
00:37:19To its rightful owner
00:37:20We have heard
00:37:21When you take back what is yours
00:37:24You offer a reading in return
00:37:26Lady Ashworth has written her question
00:37:29Right here on this parchment
00:37:30Take it, Cedric
00:37:37I will not answer this question
00:37:39Because the Hartman Shard is a fake
00:37:42What?
00:37:45A fake?
00:37:46Someone must have switched it when she wasn't looking
00:37:49I'll get to the bottom of this
00:37:51Tonight
00:37:51Don't
00:37:53What is mine
00:37:55Will always return to my hands
00:37:58Lady Morgana
00:37:59Commander Ashford
00:38:03The Emperor begs your aid
00:38:05The Empress door wager is dying
00:38:07The Royal Physicians can do nothing for her
00:38:09His Majesty demands you come at once
00:38:11Please, my lady
00:38:12You are her only hope
00:38:17Lead the way
00:38:20Useless fools!
00:38:21What good are you if she dies?
00:38:23Your Majesty
00:38:25Lady Morgana has arrived
00:38:30Morgana
00:38:31Thank the gods you have come
00:38:32Please, you must help her
00:38:34Mother is...
00:38:35Her flame has burned out
00:38:36Her time is over
00:38:39Prepare the crypt
00:38:40Lies!
00:38:41That is a lie!
00:38:41Your Majesty
00:38:45I can save the Empress
00:38:49Morgana
00:38:49Morgana
00:38:50If you can't save her
00:38:51Stop making pathetic excuses
00:38:53I say
00:38:55You have no real power
00:38:57You're nothing but a fraudulent witch
00:38:59Selina!
00:39:00This is a royal chamber
00:39:01Not your playground
00:39:02Your Grace
00:39:03I can heal her
00:39:04On my life
00:39:05Selina Frost
00:39:07You should know
00:39:08Cedric knows it well
00:39:09My prophecies
00:39:11Are never wrong
00:39:12Care to make a wager then?
00:39:14On what?
00:39:15If I win
00:39:16I want the Emperor
00:39:17To decree my marriage to Cedric
00:39:19And I want your head
00:39:22Severed from your neck
00:39:23Your Grace
00:39:24Madness
00:39:25This is absolute madness
00:39:27Gods!
00:39:28Drag this mad woman away
00:39:29I accept
00:39:35Very well
00:39:36Give it a try
00:39:39If you truly cure my mother
00:39:41I will grant your every wish
00:39:50So you stole the Hartman's schnar
00:39:52Cedric
00:39:53I'll be a master healer
00:39:55Just like your sister
00:39:57Then you'll finally see
00:39:59I'm the only one for you
00:40:01Forcing fate
00:40:03Only brings ruin
00:40:04If you insist on this path
00:40:07You alone will choke on the ashes
00:40:11Save your cheap parlor tricks
00:40:13Healing the sick is God's work
00:40:15There's no price for that
00:40:18By the old blood
00:40:19I command the vessel
00:40:21Take the living spark
00:40:23Feed the dying flame
00:40:27Awaken
00:40:32Wake up!
00:40:36Wake!
00:40:40Wake!
00:40:40Wake up!
00:40:42Wake up!
00:40:43Wake up!
00:40:44Wake up!
00:40:46Wake up!
00:40:47Wake up!
00:40:48Wake up!
00:40:48Wake up!
00:40:49Wake up!
00:40:50Wake up!
00:40:50Wake up!
00:40:51Wake up!
00:40:52Wake up!
00:40:55Wake up!
00:40:58Wake up!
00:40:59Wake up!
00:41:06Mother! Mother! Wake up!
00:41:11My face. No!
00:41:14How did this happen?
00:41:18You stole my magic.
00:41:20But you never asked, when the spell steals a living spark,
00:41:24whose spark does it take?
00:41:28Whose life did you think you were spending?
00:41:31The Ashworth Empire isn't built on medicine.
00:41:34It's built on a parasite.
00:41:36It trades your years for theirs.
00:41:39A simple fever costs you a month.
00:41:42A fatal wound strips the youth right off your bones.
00:41:48Sick Empress was already dead.
00:41:50Her time was up.
00:41:52Give her every hour you have left.
00:41:54It won't buy her a single day.
00:41:57Then what about Maren?
00:41:59Explain Maren!
00:42:00She bore the Shard for 30 years,
00:42:02pulled thousands from the grave.
00:42:05Then she should be dust!
00:42:06She should be a rotting corpse!
00:42:09Why is she flawless?
00:42:11Why not her?
00:42:12Look at me!
00:42:13It took everything!
00:42:14My skin, my life!
00:42:17Why just me?
00:42:19You said she was perfect.
00:42:21Cedric, you believe she hid from you for 10 years.
00:42:25It never crossed your mind that the woman she became
00:42:28was standing right in front of you.
00:42:31And you looked right through her.
00:42:34Stop.
00:42:35What does that mean?
00:42:37You're a commander.
00:42:39Open your eyes.
00:42:40Every year on your birthday,
00:42:42that old servant,
00:42:43the only one who still cooks for you,
00:42:45who is she, Cedric?
00:42:50Lord Cedric, wait!
00:42:51You can't go in!
00:42:53My lord!
00:42:54She said no visitors!
00:42:55My lord!
00:43:01My lord!
00:43:02Maren.
00:43:03Gods.
00:43:04It's really you.
00:43:08Move along.
00:43:10Get out.
00:43:11Move!
00:43:12Before I drag you out.
00:43:15Know who stands before you.
00:43:17My lord, I did not know.
00:43:19Maren.
00:43:20My lord, you're mistaken.
00:43:22She's not Maren.
00:43:23She's just an old crone.
00:43:25Nothing more.
00:43:26My lord!
00:43:27Get out.
00:43:27Yes, my lord!
00:43:33My lord, I'm nobody.
00:43:36Just an old crone.
00:43:37Nobody of importance.
00:43:39Just a servant.
00:43:40This is the inner sanctum.
00:43:42Only the bloodline.
00:43:43Only the Hartman Shard-bearer can come here.
00:43:48Let me see you.
00:43:57That scar.
00:44:00Where did this scar come from?
00:44:03Only Maren bore this mark.
00:44:06Maren?
00:44:09Why didn't you tell me?
00:44:14Why?
00:44:15All these years, why didn't you tell me?
00:44:18Every time I used the shard, it stole a year of my life.
00:44:23Burned away.
00:44:24Then one morning, I looked in the glass.
00:44:27White hair.
00:44:28Hands shaking like a crone.
00:44:30Maren!
00:44:31Let me in!
00:44:32My lord, no!
00:44:33Get off!
00:44:35I want my sister!
00:44:36Let me go!
00:44:38Maren!
00:44:39I couldn't let you see a monster.
00:44:42No.
00:44:43Stop it.
00:44:44Don't ever say that.
00:44:46Look at me.
00:44:46You are Maren.
00:44:48The bravest person I know.
00:44:50But I abandoned you.
00:44:52You gave me your entire life, and I was blind.
00:44:56I didn't see my own sister.
00:44:58I'm sorry.
00:44:59Oh, my brave little brother.
00:45:01It's all right now.
00:45:10Cedric, tomorrow is your name day.
00:45:13I haven't made your broth yet.
00:45:15Maren, please.
00:45:17Just rest.
00:45:18You made it for me every year.
00:45:20My whole life.
00:45:21Tomorrow, I'll make it for you.
00:45:29This is my fault.
00:45:30I looked right at her and saw nothing.
00:45:33She hid her hands, traded her life away, and I just stood there.
00:45:37He used the Heartmen's Shard to drain her year by year while I watched and called it nothing.
00:45:41She made a choice.
00:45:43The Shard needed a vessel.
00:45:45She offered herself.
00:45:47She healed them.
00:45:48She gave them time.
00:45:50She gave you time.
00:45:52That was all she ever wanted.
00:45:53I looked right past her for years.
00:45:57Thank you for stripping away every excuse I had.
00:46:01I have her back.
00:46:02Whatever it costs you.
00:46:03I swear on my blade I will repay that debt.
00:46:06She hasn't eaten in days.
00:46:07I made this for her.
00:46:09I don't know if she'll want it, but I need to give her something.
00:46:11I'm going to take it to her now.
00:46:12Wait.
00:46:14Something wrong?
00:46:17It's nothing.
00:46:18Go to her.
00:46:19I won't be long.
00:46:30Maren!
00:46:31Maren, wake up!
00:46:33No, no, please!
00:46:34Maren!
00:46:36The scale always balances.
00:46:40Get away from me!
00:46:43Don't touch me!
00:46:45I want my sister!
00:46:47Get away!
00:46:49Where is she?
00:46:54I want my sister!
00:46:57Cedric.
00:46:58I'm here.
00:47:00Look at me.
00:47:01Don't touch me!
00:47:02You old witch!
00:47:07She's dead, isn't she?
00:47:09She left me.
00:47:10Everyone always leaves.
00:47:13But I'm staying.
00:47:15To a legion.
00:47:17I'm not going anywhere.
00:47:20I'm here.
00:47:21Right here.
00:47:23I've got you.
00:47:28Lord Ashworth.
00:47:29She saved my family.
00:47:31She saved so many.
00:47:33We had to come.
00:47:35Everyone knew how much she meant to you, my lord.
00:47:37Her loss leaves a wound in all of us.
00:47:40She gave everything.
00:47:42Healed strangers.
00:47:44Never once asked for anything in return.
00:47:46Even when it broke her.
00:47:49Even when it cost her.
00:47:51Her life.
00:47:53I watched her disappear.
00:47:56Day by day.
00:47:57If the gods would take me instead,
00:48:00I'd go willingly.
00:48:00And yet you stood there.
00:48:03Every scar on her body.
00:48:05Every year taken from her.
00:48:07His hands did that.
00:48:09All of it.
00:48:11Every shriveled vein on Maren's hands.
00:48:14Every year carved from her face.
00:48:16He arranged all of it.
00:48:18Her life meant nothing to him.
00:48:20He only cared about the gold.
00:48:22The price her dying breath could buy.
00:48:24Oracle, please.
00:48:27Everyone here knows the Ashworth name.
00:48:29We heal the sick.
00:48:31We never ask for coin.
00:48:32We serve the people.
00:48:34You cannot just walk in here
00:48:35and spread lies about my family.
00:48:40If you took no coin,
00:48:41then tell me what you've been hiding in the dark.
00:48:45Every transaction.
00:48:46Every name.
00:48:47Every debt you buried.
00:49:04These are property deeds.
00:49:06Hundreds of them.
00:49:07The Ash House fled the High Lords dry.
00:49:09In secret.
00:49:09They traded healing for mansions.
00:49:11For land.
00:49:13We thought you were a saint, Aldrich.
00:49:15You're nothing but a leech.
00:49:17A parasite.
00:49:18You stole my sister's life.
00:49:20You drained Maren dry to build your filthy empire
00:49:23and left her to rot in the dirt.
00:49:25She gave everything
00:49:26and you ground her bones into your crown.
00:49:29That is not the whole of his sin.
00:49:31When Maren's face withered from what he forced on her,
00:49:35he turned away from her.
00:49:37He took a lover in secret.
00:49:39A secret mistress.
00:49:41A hidden life.
00:49:43There is no one.
00:49:44You are lying.
00:49:45The child you had with her
00:49:47has been living under this very roof.
00:49:49You call her your ward.
00:49:50You let her do as she pleases.
00:49:53Do you deny that Selene is your blood?
00:49:57You gave Selene full run of this house.
00:50:00Is she your bastard?
00:50:02Is that why you let her destroy my sister?
00:50:05Oracle.
00:50:07I have always bowed to your vision.
00:50:09You cannot lay this at my feet.
00:50:11I am innocent if there was money
00:50:13missing from the patients.
00:50:15Maren did it herself.
00:50:17Plain greed.
00:50:18She used the sick to line her own pockets.
00:50:28Look out!
00:50:29Get back!
00:50:37The heavens don't care for your lies.
00:50:39But I do.
00:50:41You built a dynasty on stolen breath.
00:50:44You are no heir to what I left here.
00:50:47You are a parasite.
00:50:50My sister is dead.
00:50:53She died a ruined servant under your roof.
00:50:57And you dare stand over her coffin
00:50:59and call her a thief!
00:51:01I will cut you apart right here!
00:51:03Cedric!
00:51:03Be reasonable!
00:51:04Look at what she had become!
00:51:05Who could look at that face
00:51:07and not be sickened?
00:51:08You are no blood of mine.
00:51:11You are nothing to me.
00:51:12Is this my fault?
00:51:14I would have taken the burden on myself!
00:51:16I swear it!
00:51:17But the healer's grace,
00:51:18it binds only to the women.
00:51:20It rejected me.
00:51:21It was never my choice.
00:51:22We kept her fed.
00:51:24Kept a roof over her head.
00:51:25She owed this family her service.
00:51:27It was her duty to plead for us!
00:51:30A lie.
00:51:31I forged the healer's grace.
00:51:33I wrote its laws.
00:51:35It does not choose by blood or gender.
00:51:38It chooses by the will to sacrifice.
00:51:40It rejected you
00:51:41because it looked inside your chest
00:51:43and found nothing at all.
00:51:45You let a child wither in your place
00:51:48and called it fate.
00:51:49You said you wished to carry the burden.
00:51:52You wanted the ember's power for yourself.
00:51:55You wanted it all.
00:51:58Very well.
00:52:02Let us see
00:52:03how much of it you can bear.
00:52:09Very well.
00:52:12Very well.
00:52:14Very well.
00:52:20Very well.
00:52:35No! Get off me! I am the lord of this!
00:52:42No! No!
00:52:56Every year he stole from Maren. They just ripped it back.
00:53:19Maren! Can you hear me? Look at me!
00:53:24You... you came back.
00:53:29You're breathing. I watched you stop. I thought you were gone.
00:53:34You're shaking. Your birthday is soon. I still owe you bread and broth.
00:53:40I'll make it myself. Just don't close your eyes again. Promise me that.
00:53:57I'll make it myself.
00:54:09Do us this. I will carry this mercy until my last breath.
00:54:18You gave my sister back her life.
00:54:20My life is no longer my own. It belongs to you.
00:54:24Every breath I draw belongs to your cause. I am your shield. Your blade. Point me at your enemies.
00:54:30Wherever you walk, I walk with you. Until my blood runs cold.
00:54:41Remember your oath.
00:54:56The Hartman Shard. It's time it returned to you. You took another piece of your power straight into yourself. Will
00:55:03you absorb this one too?
00:55:22desde
00:55:36Please! Help us! Have mercy!
00:55:42Talk to me.
00:55:44Did the exorcism drain you? Are you hurt?
00:55:48I am not hurt.
00:55:49When I pulled the Hartman shard from your sister,
00:55:52I absorbed 30 years of her memories.
00:55:54Every single day she spent trapped in that house.
00:55:57There's an echo now.
00:55:59A pressure in my chest.
00:56:01You have a rule.
00:56:02You reclaim a piece of your power, you owe the bloodline one truth.
00:56:05One ember.
00:56:07One question.
00:56:09Maren gave her whole youth to keep me alive.
00:56:12She never got to ask her question.
00:56:15Maren.
00:56:16So I'll ask it for her.
00:56:18Look into your prophecy, Morgana.
00:56:19Did my sister's sacrifice mean anything?
00:56:22Tell me.
00:56:24Your sister asked what waits for you in the north.
00:56:27I didn't lie to her.
00:56:28So I'll tell you exactly what I saw.
00:56:31There is a line drawn across your fate.
00:56:33A terminal point.
00:56:35If you follow me to Ironwall,
00:56:37if you walk into Ravencrest at my side,
00:56:39you will stand before someone and bleed until there is nothing left.
00:56:43And you will die.
00:56:45That is the end of it.
00:56:47In front of who?
00:56:48Who do I bleed for?
00:56:50Me.
00:56:51Knowing this.
00:56:53Knowing that every step north is a step towards your own grave.
00:56:57And you still want to come with me.
00:57:00Forget it.
00:57:01It doesn't matter.
00:57:04You are ordered to stay behind.
00:57:07I walk into Ironwall alone.
00:57:08I don't need a shield.
00:57:10I swore an oath to you.
00:57:13I stand between you and whatever comes.
00:57:16I'm going.
00:57:21I told you how this ends.
00:57:24Are you not afraid?
00:57:26I lead the Obsidian Guard.
00:57:29I have walked into the dark more times than I can count.
00:57:32Every time, they said I wouldn't walk out.
00:57:36Every time, they said the odds were broken.
00:57:39And I am still standing here.
00:57:41Let them come.
00:57:42I will survive it.
00:57:43And I will walk you out of Ironwall myself.
00:57:55Hold the gate.
00:57:57I am Cedric Ashworth, commander of the Obsidian Guards.
00:58:00Hold the gates.
00:58:01Guards.
00:58:02They're here.
00:58:03Fall back.
00:58:04Bar the gates.
00:58:09Go on, Ray.
00:58:19Ring of steel.
00:58:20Protect Morgana.
00:58:28Ash to ash.
00:58:30Darkness breaks.
00:58:32Burn.
00:58:52This malice.
00:58:53I know it.
00:58:54She broke them.
00:58:56Who goes there?
00:58:57Morgana.
00:58:59Lady Morgana!
00:59:01Forgive me.
00:59:02My grandfather speaks of you often.
00:59:05And you are?
00:59:06Finn Ravenkest, my lady.
00:59:08Grandson to Patriarch Thorne.
00:59:10Morgana.
00:59:12Smile for me.
00:59:14You look best when you smile.
00:59:16Foolish.
00:59:17No.
00:59:18No.
00:59:19No.
00:59:25You must think I'm completely useless with a blade.
00:59:28I've been sickly since childhood.
00:59:30My sister-in-law handles the killing.
00:59:32She lets me read instead.
00:59:34I apologize for the gate.
00:59:36It's just lately.
00:59:37The moment the sun sets, the dead walk.
00:59:40Vesta fears the undead soldiers breaching the walls, slaughtering our people.
00:59:44Please forgive the locked gates, my lady.
00:59:46These undead outside your walls.
00:59:48What is their origin?
00:59:49We don't know.
00:59:50Not since my grandfather fell.
00:59:52They don't discern friend from foe.
00:59:54They just butcher.
00:59:55For six months we've been trapped here.
00:59:57Powerless.
00:59:58Thorne was injured?
01:00:00Yes.
01:00:01Ambushed by the dead weeks ago.
01:00:03He hasn't woken since.
01:00:06Take me to him.
01:00:08Of course.
01:00:09Finn!
01:00:16You dare test me, boy?
01:00:18Who authorized you to breach the protocol?
01:00:21Who gave you leave to welcome stray vagras into my fortress?
01:00:25Do Frost Stokes' laws mean nothing to you?
01:00:28Vesper, wait.
01:00:29This is Lady Morgana.
01:00:30Grandfather foresaw this.
01:00:32He said a woman named Morgana would come for the Shard.
01:00:35We must show her absolute respect.
01:00:37The Patriarch is dying.
01:00:38He needs silence, not scavengers chasing fairy tales.
01:00:41Commander Vesper.
01:00:43Even the Emperor bows to Lady Morgana.
01:00:46I suggest you mind your tone.
01:00:48Before I cut out your tongue.
01:00:51Damn your southern king!
01:00:52Here, we follow north laws.
01:00:55Your laws.
01:00:57Tell me.
01:00:58What does the north demand?
01:01:01You want to see him?
01:01:02Bleed for it.
01:01:04Best me in combat.
01:01:05Win, and you get your audience.
01:01:07And your precious shard.
01:01:09Lose, and you crawl back south.
01:01:12Frostbite does not serve the weak.
01:01:14I'll gladly test your iron, Commander.
01:01:17Good!
01:01:17A real man!
01:01:19Bring me my steel!
01:01:23Morgana!
01:01:24My sister-in-law is a monster on the battlefield.
01:01:27She holds the true bloodline.
01:01:29No one beats her.
01:01:30Is this it, then?
01:01:32The day you foreseen I would die.
01:01:45The day you foreseen I would die.
01:01:54He's hurt!
01:01:55He will not die.
01:01:56He's hurt!
01:01:58He's hurt!
01:02:00Playing with time!
01:02:03He's hurt!
01:02:09He's hurt!
01:02:19He's hurt!
01:02:22But you fight like you fear death, always leaving room to retreat.
01:02:26Remember, a real enemy won't give you quarter.
01:02:30The only way to outlive them is to care less about dying.
01:02:34Mother! Mother!
01:02:40There's my little bird.
01:02:42You promised me we'd practice archery today.
01:02:45I know. Go grab your bow, I'm coming.
01:02:48Okay.
01:02:52When you have something you can't leave behind, then teach me to fight.
01:02:57Tomorrow I will grant you an audience for the Patriarch.
01:03:02You see, I am still breathing.
01:03:05If you had truly defied my vision, now that would be interesting.
01:03:14My lady, the North is freezing. I brought you these heavy furs.
01:03:18Your concern is noted, boy. But she has no need for such common scraps.
01:03:23These are royal pelts from...
01:03:28Gods. What in the world is this?
01:03:32It's so soft. It doesn't even feel like wool. It feels like water.
01:03:37These deep red shapes here. What kind of flower is this?
01:03:41A rose. The sovereign of flowers.
01:03:44A rose. It's beautiful. I can't even imagine it.
01:03:48So this is what the South grows.
01:03:51Here in Frostspike, the winter never ends.
01:03:54The ground is iron. Nothing this fragile could ever survive the frost.
01:03:59If it pleases you, boy, help us reclaim the sherd from your keep.
01:04:03And this mantle is yours to keep.
01:04:06Truly? You swear on your honor?
01:04:09On my blood.
01:04:11Done. I'll get ready.
01:04:17You barter with the boy because you are certain that Vesta will not surrender the shard.
01:04:25Two years ago at the Bloodwater siege, Vesta's husband begged the Emperor for reinforcements.
01:04:31But the royal court was busy preparing the Emperor's jubilee.
01:04:34The army never marched. Her husband died in the mud, left her and the child alone.
01:04:40Vesta has every reason to hate the crown.
01:04:42She struck a deal with the enemy.
01:04:45You are wrong.
01:04:48You said we were seeing the Patriarch. Why bring us to a crypt?
01:04:51Whatever you see in there, hold your nerve.
01:04:55My grandfather rests inside. Please, this way.
01:05:13What?
01:05:18Is this?
01:05:20It is Thorn.
01:05:21Yes.
01:05:22Since the ambush six months ago, this crust began to form.
01:05:26It started around his wounds, then it spread, swallowing him whole.
01:05:31How many healers have you called?
01:05:33All of them. None could break it.
01:05:51This isn't a sickness, is it?
01:05:54It is his own madness.
01:05:55His madness?
01:05:56Thorn's natural life ended in the snow, six months ago.
01:06:04But his fury anchored him here.
01:06:08He refuses to pass on.
01:06:10And the shard buried within him gave his wrath a physical form, spawning the dead that batter your gates,
01:06:17while this stone shell devours his remaining soul.
01:06:23What kind of nightmare could be powerful enough to breed an entire army of corpses?
01:06:36What is happening?
01:06:42The dead are marching in daylight.
01:06:46I'll hold the line! Gather the men!
01:06:49My lady, I'm begging you.
01:06:51Save Frostbike!
01:06:52Take the shard back!
01:06:54It's right there in his chest!
01:06:55Please, just take it!
01:06:56I beg you!
01:06:59Yes, but the shard must be freely given.
01:07:03Even I cannot carve it out by force.
01:07:05I will pull Thorn back from the dark.
01:07:08Do not let them interrupt me.
01:07:10This pennant will hold the dead.
01:07:12Plant it beyond the gates.
01:07:13It will buy me time.
01:07:15If the ward fails, if the dead breach the line, or if you are overrun, do not die for me.
01:07:24Leave.
01:07:25My orders stand.
01:07:27You are my charge.
01:07:29I do not break the line.
01:07:45I remember a boy.
01:07:48One who chased my shadow, always begging for stories.
01:07:52Now, reduce to stone.
01:07:59Veil lift.
01:08:00Flesh bind.
01:08:03Awaken.
01:08:06Thorn.
01:08:09Ashworth!
01:08:10Her magic broke!
01:08:11She's bleeding!
01:08:13She's bleeding!
01:08:23Shit.
01:08:36Finn, what are you doing?
01:08:38I'm done pretending, Commander.
01:08:40Did you honestly think Vesper was the one who crippled my grandfather?
01:08:44It was me, who left the gate wide open.
01:08:47So, you're the rat.
01:08:49They butchered your parents, slaughtered your own brothers, they bled Frostbear dry, and you
01:08:54sold us out to the monsters?
01:08:58Sold us out?
01:08:59Monsters?
01:09:00Better than being the crown's lapdog.
01:09:02Why should we bleed for them?
01:09:03Our ancestors all followed Morgana.
01:09:05We were equals once.
01:09:07But because they got different shards, some get to rule the capital, some get the gold.
01:09:11And what did the rain creeps get?
01:09:12Three generations rotting in this frozen wasteland, bleeding out in the ice.
01:09:16Just another name on a tombstone, waiting to be wiped out.
01:09:20I won't let it end like this.
01:09:23I'm going to tear Frostfire down, break the chains they put on us.
01:09:29I saw Morgana use this.
01:09:32It commands the dead.
01:09:34I hold the power now.
01:09:41Isn't that right?
01:09:42Are you going to let the ashes of mace and corruption in this globa?
01:09:59You could think of a strongweight for this mine.
01:10:03Is that right away?
01:10:03IMER olduğunu will never hear you.
01:10:04Do you forgot what thecribing that I've looked after?
01:10:04A lotta Uma.
01:10:11Let's go.
01:11:01Let's go.
01:11:04Sister, I... what is happening to me? Where are we?
01:11:08Your mortal life is ended, but your obsession anchored you here.
01:11:14Your soul was twisted by inner demons and the Shard.
01:11:18You are nothing but a lingering phantom now.
01:11:42Yes.
01:11:46I remember the vow.
01:11:49I gave you my word to hold this fortress, to bleed for the innocent.
01:11:56But the dead are here.
01:11:59The wolves are at the gates.
01:12:01I... I dare not leave.
01:12:04Enough, Thorn.
01:12:05You have bled enough.
01:12:08Your bloodline.
01:12:11Your men.
01:12:12Your men.
01:12:14Let's go.
01:12:47Let the Obsession die.
01:12:51You must go.
01:12:53Whatever my sister commands, Thorn will always obey.
01:13:00But before I return the Shard, Morgana, may I ask you one question?
01:13:12What did you want to ask?
01:13:16All these years, alone in the dark.
01:13:24Were you alright, Morgana?
01:13:39You won't touch her!
01:13:43I was fine.
01:13:49That is good.
01:14:16I was fine.
01:14:29The witch.
01:14:41So, this is the death you saw from me?
01:14:46You are never wrong.
01:14:48So, Morgana, it seems I won't be here to help you take back what is yours.
01:15:13Morgana, I make no grand claims, but I swear I will help you take it all back.
01:15:37Monster.
01:15:38Monster, you godless monster!
01:15:52This world is sick.
01:16:01Finn.
01:16:03Why would you do this?
01:16:05My brother.
01:16:07He died because the crown...
01:16:10Because the crown never sent reinforcements.
01:16:13He bled out in the snow.
01:16:15And ever since then, I haven't seen you smile.
01:16:19Not truly.
01:16:21I was so close.
01:16:24Just a little more than I could have taken you away from this prison.
01:16:32You foolish boy.
01:16:35Frost Spire is now prison.
01:16:38Look at the people behind these walls.
01:16:40The thousands we pulled from the slaughter.
01:16:42The soldiers I trained with my own hands.
01:16:45Every block of black stone.
01:16:47Every frozen inch of the north.
01:16:49Holds my blood.
01:16:51Nothing has ever trapped me.
01:16:53This is the line I chose to hold.
01:16:56Frost Spire is my home, Finn.
01:16:58And I will defend it.
01:17:00Until I break.
01:17:03I thought...
01:17:05I thought you hated the crown.
01:17:08I only wanted to break your chains.
01:17:16I do hate the crown.
01:17:18But I love the north.
01:17:19I love our people.
01:17:21I am holding this line for your brother.
01:17:23So the children here.
01:17:25So my own daughter.
01:17:26Can sleep without fear of the slaughter.
01:17:28So it was just me.
01:17:31I was the only one who couldn't let go.
01:17:36Take me away.
01:17:38I will.
01:17:39I'll take you south.
01:17:41I want to sleep beneath the roses.
01:17:56Why the Frost Spire?
01:17:57Why Thorn Ravencrest?
01:17:59My youngest student.
01:18:01Still breathes.
01:18:02I need to see him.
01:18:05And the Ravencrest piece of the crown.
01:18:07What is it, exactly?
01:18:08A drop of my own blood.
01:18:10The Undying Spark.
01:18:12Your blood?
01:18:13No wonder your skin is like ice.
01:18:15Morgana.
01:18:16How did you lose your eyes?
01:18:18Sixty winters ago.
01:18:19The realm was drowning in its own blood.
01:18:23To buy them a dawn.
01:18:25I offered my own flesh and soul.
01:18:28I stripped everything away.
01:18:31Bound it to the obsidian.
01:18:33Twelve fragments.
01:18:34Given to twelve disciples.
01:18:36To save this world.
01:18:38Sixty years have passed.
01:18:40My students took that power.
01:18:43And forged twelve great bloodlines.
01:18:46And now, there is peace.
01:18:49Now I take back what is mine.
01:18:52Morgana.
01:18:53What else are you missing?
01:18:55You never change your boots.
01:18:56I've never seen you eat.
01:18:58Or sleep, for that matter.
01:19:00Your hair turned white.
01:19:02Silence.
01:19:11Morgana.
01:19:13I will help you get it all back.
01:19:17Every last piece, you have my word.
01:19:22No matter what it takes
01:19:25No matter the cost
01:19:33Sixty years ago
01:19:34To buy this realm a breath of life
01:19:37I gave my own flesh and soul to the forge
01:19:41No attachments
01:19:43No desires
01:19:45I told you to run
01:19:47But of course
01:19:49Fate demands its due
01:20:00Would you still draw your blade for me
01:20:03Knowing it will only lead to your grave
01:20:05I am going
01:20:06I've commanded the vanguard for years
01:20:09I've faced death more times than I can count
01:20:13But I have never lost
01:20:14And I will not lose this time either
01:20:18¿Qué acontece o marriage of children 3?
01:20:24I'm not alone
01:20:25Floating
01:20:25Quック
01:20:25El
01:20:29Parte
01:20:33Quill
01:20:50My lady, forgive me.
01:20:53Assassins!
01:21:10This... southern blood magic.
01:21:12They say one puppet butchers ten men, and I tore them apart before they could even blink.
01:21:17I feel like I could rip through solid iron.
01:21:20You were bleeding to death.
01:21:21No medicine could save you, so I bound a fraction of my shard to your fading heart, tethered
01:21:27your life to mine.
01:21:28With my power in your veins, no mortal man can stand against you.
01:21:32You could have run.
01:21:35You chose to stay.
01:21:37You accepted my gift.
01:21:39From now on, you are bound to my will.
01:21:43Are we clear?
01:21:46So I am no better than these husks?
01:21:48I'm just your puppet?
01:21:51Do not compare yourself to such pathetic trash.
01:21:55They are nothing like you.
01:21:59You...
01:22:00You are my masterpiece.
01:22:14That shard of the crown was torn from my own veins.
01:22:20A single drop of my heart's blood.
01:22:25I never thought you would waste such a priceless piece of yourself on me.
01:22:29I never thought I'd even be alive.
01:22:32My lady, you always said your prophecies are absolute.
01:22:35Never wrong.
01:22:36To give me the shard.
01:22:37To force me to live.
01:22:39To force me to live.
01:22:39Isn't this defying the gods themselves?
01:22:41Taking the heart back was a mistake.
01:22:50Morgana.
01:22:52To force me to live.
01:22:53Be wary.
01:22:56Without the primordial crown's shard, the horde will show no mercy.
01:23:01I know the risks, but I command this gate.
01:23:04Shard or no shard, the ravencrasts will hold this line.
01:23:09To the last breath.
01:23:10Yes.
01:23:13The horde is at our walls.
01:23:15I ride with the vanguard.
01:23:17Godspeed.
01:23:22Hi-yah!
01:23:30Why didn't you tell her about the warding spikes you planted?
01:23:33The wards are nothing, compared to the primordial blood, still boiling in their veins.
01:23:40They will survive.
01:23:44What's happening?
01:23:45Are you alright?
01:23:46I feel a disturbance.
01:23:47A forbading sensation.
01:23:49I have looked ahead.
01:23:51I wish I had not.
01:23:52The road before us is dark, Cedric.
01:24:11We must push forward.
01:24:12Wherever you go, I will follow.
01:24:15Where to next?
01:24:17South.
01:24:18To the Scarlet Lands.
01:24:20I want to meet the fool who thought they could kill me.
