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 breed 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.
00:01:18Show 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.
00:01:53The sky turns.
00:01:55The sky turns.
00:02:04Sixty years ago.
00:02:06I broke myself into twelve embers.
00:02:10The throne was secured.
00:02:13It is time.
00:02:20To reclaim them all.
00:02:25My lady. Please. Rest inside.
00:02:27I will bring it to you myself.
00:02:29It is exactly where you left it, my lady.
00:02:32Untouched.
00:02:34You 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.
00:02:48Without it, you are nothing but a blind man stumbling in the dark.
00:02:52The blood covenant my grandfather sworn binds every generation after him.
00:02:56House Alistair owes you everything it has and 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.
00:03:24A 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.
00:03:33Ask your question.
00:03:35My lady.
00:03:36In a few days, Isabella weds the crown prince.
00:03:40I need to...
00:03:42I 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.
00:04:08Is 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 without putting her on her knees,
00:04:18she will believe she belongs here.
00:04:22And we cannot have that.
00:04:24Then let's remind her how this house treats beggars.
00:04:32I assumed we were hosting royalty for my husband to grovel so.
00:04:39To greet you himself.
00:04:40I simply had to see who...
00:04:51Magana, 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...
00:05:17I told them to boil it!
00:05:19Doorish vintage.
00:05:21Pity it turned to vinegar.
00:05:23Masked with...
00:05:24Heavy spice.
00:05:26Poured from the rot at the bottom of your cellar.
00:05:29Is this...
00:05:30How House Alistair hides its decay?
00:05:33How could she possibly smell that?
00:05:35She knows.
00:05:36How could she know?
00:05:37You insolent wretch!
00:05:40Keep your filthy mouth!
00:05:45By his wits alone did Lord Alistair survive.
00:05:48Isabella, your gown!
00:05:50A tragedy.
00:05:51His bloodline rots with you.
00:05:54How dare you!
00:05:55My husband may tolerate your delusions.
00:05:58But I will not!
00:05:59You just assaulted the future Crown Princess.
00:06:02By royal decree.
00:06:03You will kneel.
00:06:04And you will bleed for it.
00:06:05She is a fool.
00:06:07You 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!
00:06:32Seize her!
00:06:33Now!
00:06:48Stop!
00:06:50Stop 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.
00:07:10She chose restraint.
00:07:11Or you would already be ashes upon this floor.
00:07:14On your knees.
00:07:16Beg for your lives.
00:07:19I 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.
00:08:01A pity.
00:08:02No.
00:08:04No.
00:08:05You!
00:08:05Get out of my house!
00:08:07Silence your tongue!
00:08:10Morgana, please.
00:08:11How do we stop this?
00:08:12Call off the royal wedding.
00:08:15Break betrothal.
00:08:19Or...
00:08:20She dies.
00:08:30The royal escort led by the obsidian guard.
00:08:33Commander Cedric himself.
00:08:35The reaper of the realm.
00:08:43The prophecy is written.
00:08:49And the king's edict.
00:08:55And the king's edict.
00:09:00Commander Cedric.
00:09:01You heard the prophecy.
00:09:02If Isabella rides to the palace today, it will be her funeral.
00:09:07The crown commands this union, Lord Alistair.
00:09:11My escort is already at your gates.
00:09:14You dare defy the throne over cheap politics?
00:09:18And break the royal contract?
00:09:21Unless...
00:09:22You doubt my ability to keep her breathing.
00:09:27No, Commander.
00:09:28Your blade is legendary.
00:09:30Your tactics flawless.
00:09:31The king trusts no other.
00:09:33She is safe with you.
00:09:35But...
00:09:36Morgana has seen it.
00:09:38She is our only hope.
00:09:40Alistair.
00:09:41The king's patience is not infinite.
00:09:43Do not humiliate us for a blind witch.
00:09:46The crown's wrath will burn this castle to the ground.
00:09:49I will not let you ruin us.
00:09:52She is right, father.
00:09:53I 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.
00:10:09My debt shall be claimed when the blood runs dry.
00:10:22I am ready, father.
00:10:24The crown is mine.
00:10:26Our legacy begins.
00:10:29My daughter.
00:10:31Our ultimate masterpiece.
00:10:55My daughter.
00:10:57Our ultimate masterpiece.
00:10:57Who exactly does she die?
00:10:59Give me real intel.
00:11:01Do that, I might believe you.
00:11:03Seeing the end requires a price.
00:11:05A transaction.
00:11:07I see the blood.
00:11:09The question is...
00:11:10Can you afford it?
00:11:13There it is.
00:11:14The classic shakedown.
00:11:15We always get here.
00:11:16Just a beggar.
00:11:17I could watch the duke's daughter in her wedding dress.
00:11:20Perfectly protected by your elite guards.
00:11:23Ride straight to her execution.
00:11:25Let me ride with your convoy.
00:11:28Take me.
00:11:29I'll prove you wrong.
00:11:35Play the prophet.
00:11:37Watch her cross those gates alive.
00:11:41I'll feel the blood.
00:11:45Bring the oracle a horse.
00:11:58Bring the oracle a horse.
00:12:31Take them to the iron court.
00:12:33I want a name.
00:12:35Yes, commander.
00:12:43Thank the god Cedric was here.
00:12:46We're safe.
00:12:47He earned his coin.
00:12:52You fight well, mortal.
00:12:54Pity it changes nothing.
00:12:56I do not guess.
00:12:59The grave is dug.
00:13:02The hour is here.
00:13:04Step forward, future Empress.
00:13:12Isabella, my love finally.
00:13:18No!
00:13:20God!
00:13:29The prophecy.
00:13:31She knew.
00:13:32How?
00:13:33She was right there.
00:13:34The prophecy is fulfilled.
00:13:37Her blood is spilled.
00:13:39You killed my daughter!
00:13:41Your daughter's death was a tragedy.
00:13:43Eleanor, don't provoke her.
00:13:45Look at the carriage!
00:13:46The doors were sealed!
00:13:47Who else could bypass those locks?
00:13:50Enough!
00:13:50Seal the gates!
00:13:52Nobody leaves this yort yard!
00:13:53You're all suspects.
00:13:55Take them to the iron court!
00:14:02We're alone.
00:14:03Just tell me the damn truth.
00:14:05How did you reach inside a moving, heavily guarded carriage and take her head without a single sound?
00:14:12You mapped out her execution beforehand.
00:14:15Fine.
00:14:17Say you didn't swing the blade yourself.
00:14:21But you orchestrated this.
00:14:24If that comforts you, you may use it.
00:14:31I see the threads.
00:14:33Every drop of blood before it falls.
00:14:36The end is written.
00:14:38You're just walking the path blind.
00:14:41Cut the riddles.
00:14:42You're in my cell now.
00:14:46If you see everything, then what happens next?
00:14:50Does the blade slip?
00:14:52Does the steel bite?
00:14:53Or maybe I'm just sick of your games and slit your throat right now!
00:14:56Did you see that?!
00:15:01A seer is blind to her own end.
00:15:04That is the only law I obey.
00:15:07Then tell me how this ends.
00:15:10But you cannot kill me, Cedric.
00:15:15Let's put that to the test.
00:15:17Steel cannot touch me.
00:15:22By drawing it on me, you owe a deadly debt.
00:15:26Madness.
00:15:26I serve the crown.
00:15:28I don't fear witches.
00:15:32Still believe in hard facts, Commander?
00:15:35Commander!
00:15:37We have a situation.
00:15:38The prisoners from the ambush, sir.
00:15:40They took poison.
00:15:42Hidden in their teeth.
00:15:43They're all dead.
00:15:44Trails cold.
00:15:45Dead?!
00:15:46You let our only witnesses die in chains?!
00:15:48They were paid to die.
00:15:50They'd never talk.
00:15:52You want the true killer?
00:15:54Stop asking the living.
00:15:56They only lie.
00:15:57I'll make the dead speak.
00:16:05You said you could make the dead speak.
00:16:07Name your price.
00:16:09There's always a price with you.
00:16:11Always.
00:16:12Name it.
00:16:13Whatever closes this investigation.
00:16:16I want your absolute obedience.
00:16:19When I speak, you do not question.
00:16:23When I point, you do not hesitate.
00:16:25My loyalty is to the crown.
00:16:27I don't give blind trust.
00:16:29I have the killer.
00:16:31If you put the murderer in front of me, then you have my trust.
00:16:36Don't make a vow you can't keep, Commander.
00:16:39You have my word.
00:16:40I won't break it.
00:16:46Take this.
00:16:47Sew her head back on.
00:16:49You want me to mutilate a royal corpse?
00:16:51Every second you wait, she fades.
00:16:57Her soul is bleeding out.
00:17:01It's done.
00:17:02What now?
00:17:04Open the doors.
00:17:06Bring them all.
00:17:08The grieving father.
00:17:10The weeping mother.
00:17:12Bring the prince who lost his bride.
00:17:14We are going to hold a court of our own.
00:17:23Isabella!
00:17:24My baby!
00:17:25Oh God!
00:17:27Hold her back.
00:17:27Don't let her touch the body.
00:17:29Let me go!
00:17:29That's my daughter!
00:17:31Why is she here?
00:17:32Why is that blind woman in the judge's seat?
00:17:35Commander Ashworth!
00:17:37She killed her!
00:17:38She cursed my daughter and you let her sit there!
00:17:41His Royal Highness Prince Kale!
00:17:45Isabella!
00:17:46Let me through!
00:17:47Isabella!
00:17:48No!
00:17:49Look what they did to you.
00:17:50My beautiful girl.
00:17:52The audience is here.
00:17:54Let the performance end.
00:17:57Flesh to thread.
00:18:00Bone to command.
00:18:02Rise.
00:18:08You demanded proof, Commander.
00:18:12Behold the truth.
00:18:14You wove the crimson soul thread yourself.
00:18:17The bond is forged.
00:18:21Ask her.
00:18:23Isabella Alastom.
00:18:25Is your killer here?
00:18:30Isabella Alastom.
00:18:44Isabella Alastom.
00:18:45No!
00:18:45No!
00:18:47No!
00:18:51Keep that thing away!

00:26:40Careful, sire! Morgana! Sire, wait! Lady Morgana!
00:26:45Oh, my Lady Morgana. Forgive me. It's my fault. I was blind to let them trouble you. I wish
00:26:54to name you High Protector. To guide the realm. Every mage alive will answer only to your command.
00:27:03My rule is simple. One shard for one question. You want a prophecy? Give me your family's ancient inheritance. The
00:27:13crown shard in exchange.
00:27:16Right. If you wish to reclaim the shard, I will gladly return it. After all, my family owes are thrown
00:27:25to you.
00:27:25Power is a debt. When I give and when I take, is my choice alone. Why the rush?
00:27:32Ah, yes. You are completely right. Please, rest at Ashermyth Palace. Everything will grant her than-
00:27:39No, no! Higher than Imperial standards!
00:27:42No need. I am going to Ashwith Keep. Besides, my heart currently belongs to him.
00:27:58Yes, yes, of course. Take my royal carriage. Please, my Lady. After you.
00:28:06Your Grace, that is the Sovereign's carriage. It breaks royal protocol.
00:28:10Shut your mouth!
00:28:12Lady Morgana is the law. Her word is absolute. There is no protocol in this world that out-rants her.
00:28:17Isn't that right, my dear Lady? Please. Mind the step, my Lady.
00:28:22Careful now. Very careful. Commander Ashworth. Your Grace. If she suffers even a scratch, I swear to God, I will
00:28:31hang every last member of your retted house. Do I make myself clear?
00:28:35Crystal clear, Your Grace. My dear Lady Morgana, I have just remembered some urgent matters of state to attend to.
00:28:43I must take my leave.
00:28:48You serve Lady Morgana now. Farewell. Have a pleasant journey.
00:28:56Earlier you said that I had your heart. What the hell does that mean?
00:29:00Sixty years ago, my heart was carved from my chest. It is not with you. It is in your house.
00:29:11My house?
00:29:15This way, Lady Morgana. Thanks to your grace, sixty years ago, when you bestowed the Heartmen Shard upon us, the
00:29:22Ashworth name is now renowned for our healing arts.
00:29:25You see? These afflicted souls travel from the furthest corners of the kingdom, seeking our aid.
00:29:31So, the legendary Ashworth healing arts actually came from you. Tell me then, just how old are you exactly?
00:29:41Does it matter to you?
00:29:43Please, my Lord! Save my mother! Wake up, Mama! Somebody help her!
00:29:48Have mercy!
00:29:48Please help my mother! I beg of you!
00:29:51This is all the coin I have. Please, show some mercy.
00:29:57A handful of dirty coppers? And you expect the Master's healing for that? Get out of here, now! Stop wasting
00:30:03everyone's time.
00:30:04Selina!
00:30:08Cedric! You're finally home!
00:30:10When I gave your family the Shard, it was to heal the broken. To serve the realm, not to exploit
00:30:17the weak. You have broken the pact.
00:30:19Give the fragment back.
00:30:20Who do you think you are? How dare a commoner like you make demands in Ashwild Key?
00:30:26Silence! Show her respect!
00:30:29This is Selina Frost. A ward taken in by my father. Selina.
00:30:36We heal the sick, regardless of coin! Have you forgotten? Go to the chapel! Pray! Beg her forgiveness!
00:30:42You heard him! To the chapel, now!
00:30:47I beg your pardon, my lady. I had no idea she was extorting them.
00:30:53Rest assured, the Ashwilds honor your gift. We'd never turn away the poor. Most days, we treat all these commoners
00:30:59without asking for any money.
00:31:02I said, return the Shard. Or do you mean to defy me?
00:31:08No, no! The relic is rightfully yours! I will return it to you immediately.
00:31:14It is just, the Hartman Shard is kept safe by my eldest, Marin. She's been in seclusion at a distant
00:31:20abbey for years. Once she returns from her retreat, I will present it to you myself.
00:31:24Fine. I will wait.
00:31:31Every time I return, she still won't see me.
00:31:36Fifteen years. Fifteen years since I've laid eyes on her. Does she really despise me that much?
00:31:41Why do you think she treats you with such coldness?
00:31:46Because of what I did. She hates me.
00:31:50When I was a boy, I almost died. My sister came for me. And the iron drove through her right
00:31:56arm in my place. She was never the same again.
00:32:03She was a master healer. Those gifted hands. She could bring the dying back to life. But because of me,
00:32:10the scar on her arm never faded. And she was taken from me forever.
00:32:14She became a completely different person after that. The Hartman Shard was hers by birthright. With its power, she became
00:32:21the greatest healer in the kingdom.
00:32:23And then they sent her far away, to a quiet abbey where she could practice in peace. But I know
00:32:28the truth. That day became a thorn in her heart. One that will never be pulled out.
00:32:35Every time she looks at me, she remembers what saving me cost her.
00:32:39Everything is bound by consequence, Commander. You see only the branches above the soil, but you are blind to the
00:32:46roots below.
00:32:47What is that supposed to mean?
00:32:49You will know soon enough.
00:32:55My knees are hurting. I'll fetch the salve.
00:32:59Cedric just got back, and he's already screaming at me because of her!
00:33:04She's an honoured guest. Even Lord Ashworth had to apologise to her. Master Cedric serves her.
00:33:09People are whispering. She might be his future bride.
00:33:13His future bride? Look at her. She's a freak. With that filthy black rags.
00:33:20She doesn't deserve Cedric.
00:33:25Crone. What is that?
00:33:28Honey cakes. Master Cedric's favourite. And imperial spiced wine for Lady Morgana.
00:33:35Halt! Imperial spiced wine?
00:33:39A gift from the Emperor himself. It's worth a fortune.
00:33:43You really know how to grovel.
00:33:46Give it here.
00:33:49Healers always keep the best poisons.
00:33:52This widow's kiss is lethal.
00:33:55No taste, no cure.
00:33:58Drink up, Morgana.
00:33:59Go, take it to her.
00:34:01I cannot, my lady. She is Master Cedric's guest.
00:34:08Know your place!
00:34:09Without Ashfield Charity, a useless old crone would be rotting in the gutter.
00:34:16Pathetic.
00:34:21I am disciplining a servant, since when does a blind freak interfere with Ashfield affairs?
00:34:27If your tongue serves only to offend, then you should not speak at all.
00:34:34Morgana.
00:34:36You little piece of f-
00:34:38My lady, what is it?
00:34:39My lady, what's wrong?
00:34:40Please, say something!
00:34:41What's doing this?
00:34:43Guards! Help us!
00:34:44Get Lord Aldric! She's choking!
00:34:46She can't breathe!
00:34:47Lord Aldric! Please, hurry!
00:34:49I'm right here. Just breathe. She suddenly lost her voice.
00:34:54Selene 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? Apologise! Now! Are you deaf?
00:35:03Do you want to be mute forever?
00:35:09My lady.
00:35:12I don't want your apology.
00:35:14Kneel to the one you truly wronged.
00:35:17Please, no! I'm nobody!
00:35:19A lady cannot kneel to me! I'm just a servant!
00:35:22Silence! Just be grateful!
00:35:25Every brick in this house rests on the Hartmann Shard.
00:35:29She built our legacy.
00:35:31Oracle, I beg you. She's terrified.
00:35:35Let it be enough, please. Have mercy.
00:35:44Your mercy is boundless, my lady. I will discipline the girl at once.
00:35:49Come, my lady. Let us go.
00:35:55Are you hurt?
00:35:57I am fine, my lord.
00:35:59You've grown so thin.
00:36:01The 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.
00:36:10Let me fetch them for you.
00:36:12Wait right here for me.
00:36:15That old woman.
00:36:17Her devotion to you is genuine.
00:36:20It is.
00:36:21She has been here since I was a boy.
00:36:24Always kind to me.
00:36:25When I was injured as a boy, she sneaked me pouches.
00:36:28And every year on my name day, when my own sister was lost to me,
00:36:32she brought me warm broth and fresh bread.
00:36:36With her, I almost remember what having a sister felt like.
00:36:40If that is true, you should show her more grace while you can.
00:36:43I have seen the shadow on her.
00:36:46She has but a few days left.
00:36:49Do not wait until tomorrow to 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.
00:37:02Patience, my sweet girl.
00:37:04I'm securing your future.
00:37:07Play the game.
00:37:08Let her think she's win.
00:37:10Soon, everything will be yours.
00:37:13Lady Morgana.
00:37:14Lady Ashfield has sent me to return the Hartman Shard to its rightful owner.
00:37:20We have heard, when you take back what is yours,
00:37:24you offer a reading in return.
00:37:26Lady Ashworth has written her question right here on this parchment.
00:37:30Take it, Cedric.
00:37:36I will not answer this question, because the Hartman Shard is a fake.
00:37:42What?
00:37:44A fake!
00:37:46Someone must have switched it when she wasn't looking.
00:37:48I'll get to the bottom of this, tonight.
00:37:51Don't.
00:37:52What is mine will always return to my hands.
00:37:57Lady Morgana!
00:37:58Commander Ashford!
00:38:02The Emperor begs your aid!
00:38:04The Empress' door wager is dying.
00:38:06The Royal Physicians can do nothing for her!
00:38:08His Majesty demands you come at once!
00:38:10Please, my lady, you are her only hope.
00:38:16Lead the way.
00:38:19Useless fools!
00:38:20What good are you if she dies?
00:38:23Your Majesty!
00:38:24Lady Morgana has arrived.
00:38:30Morgana, thank the gods you have come.
00:38:32Please, you must help her.
00:38:33Mother is...
00:38:34Her flame has burned out.
00:38:36Her time is over.
00:38:38Prepare the crypt.
00:38:39Lies! That is a lie!
00:38:41Your Majesty.
00:38:44I can save the Empress.
00:38:48Morgana.
00:38:49If you can't save her, stop making pathetic excuses.
00:38:53I say, you have no real power.
00:38:56You're nothing but a fraudulent witch.
00:38:58Selina!
00:38:59This is a royal chamber, not your playground!
00:39:02Your Grace.
00:39:02I can heal her.
00:39:04On my life, Selina Frost.
00:39:06You should know.
00:39:07Cedric knows it well.
00:39:09My prophecies are never wrong.
00:39:12Care to make a wager, then?
00:39:13On what?
00:39:14If I win, I want the Emperor to decree my marriage to Cedric.
00:39:19And I want your head severed from your neck.
00:39:23Your Grace.
00:39:24Madness.
00:39:24This is absolute madness.
00:39:26Gods!
00:39:27Drag this mad woman away!
00:39:29I accept.
00:39:35Very well.
00:39:36Give it a try.
00:39:38If you truly cure my mother, I will grant your every wish.
00:39:49So you stole the Hartman's schnaz?
00:39:52Cedric.
00:39:53I'll be a master healer.
00:39:55Just like your sister.
00:39:57Then you'll finally see, I'm the only one for you.
00:40:01Forcing fate only brings ruin.
00:40:04If you insist on this path, you alone will choke on the ashes.
00:40:11Save your cheap parlor tricks.
00:40:13Healing the sick is God's work.
00:40:14There's no price for that.
00:40:17By the old blood, I command the vessel.
00:40:21Take the living spark.
00:40:23Feed the dying flame.
00:40:24Awaken.
00:40:31Wake up!
00:40:35Wake!
00:40:39Wake up!
00:40:46What's happening?
00:40:47It burns!
00:40:49It burns!
00:40:51It burns!
00:40:52It burns!
00:40:52It burns!
00:40:53Oh God!
00:40:57Water!
00:40:59Please!
00:41:05Mother!
00:41:06Mother!
00:41:07Wake up!
00:41:11My face!
00:41:12No!
00:41:13How!
00:41:14How did this happen?
00:41:17You stole my magic.
00:41:19But you never asked.
00:41:21When the spell steals a living spark.
00:41:23Whose spark does it take?
00:41:28Whose life did you think you were spending?
00:41:30The Ashworth Empire isn't built on medicine.
00:41:33It's built on a parasite.
00:41:35It trades your years for theirs.
00:41:38A simple fever costs you a month.
00:41:42A fatal wound.
00:41:44Strips the youth right off your bones.
00:41:48Sick Empress was already dead.
00:41:49Her time was up.
00:41:51Give her every hour you have left.
00:41:54It won't buy her a single day.
00:41:57Then what about Maren?
00:41:58Explain Maren!
00:42:00She bore the Shard for 30 years.
00:42:02Pulled thousands from the grave.
00:42:04Then she should be dust!
00:42:05She should be a rotting corpse!
00:42:08Why is she flawless?
00:42:10Why not her?
00:42:11Look at me!
00:42:12It took everything!
00:42:14My skin!
00:42:15My life!
00:42:17Why just me?
00:42:18You 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?
00:42:36You're a commander.
00:42:38Open your eyes.
00:42:40Every year on your birthday,
00:42:41that 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!
00:42:52My lord! She said no visitors!
00:42:54My lord!
00:42:57You can't be in!
00:43:01Maren.
00:43:03Gods.
00:43:04It's really you.
00:43:08Move along.
00:43:10Get out.
00:43:11Move!
00:43:11Before I drag you out!
00:43:14Know who stands before you.
00:43:16My lord.
00:43:17I did not know.
00:43:18Maren.
00:43:19My lord, you're mistaken.
00:43:21She's not Maren.
00:43:23She's just an old crone.
00:43:24Nothing more.
00:43:25My lord!
00:43:26Get out.
00:43:27Yes, my lord!
00:43:33My lord, I'm nobody.
00:43:35Just an old crone.
00:43:37Nobody of importance.
00:43:39Just a servant.
00:43:40This is the inner sanctum.
00:43:41Only the bloodline.
00:43:43Only the Hartmann Shard-bearer can come here.
00:43:47Let me see you.
00:43:57That scar.
00:44:00Where did this scar come from?
00:44:02Only Maren bore this mark.
00:44:06Maren?
00:44:09Why didn't you tell me?
00:44:13Why?
00:44:14All these years, why didn't you tell me?
00:44:18Every time I used the Shard, it stole a year of my life.
00:44:22Burned away.
00:44:24Then one morning, I looked in the glass.
00:44:26White hair.
00:44:28Hands shaking like a crone.
00:44:30Maren!
00:44:31Let me in!
00:44:31My lord, no!
00:44:33Get off!
00:44:34I want my sister!
00:44:36Let me go!
00:44:38Maren!
00:44:39I couldn't let you see a monster.
00:44:41No.
00:44:42Stop it.
00:44:43Don't ever say that.
00:44:45Look 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.
00:44:54And 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.
00:45:16Just rest.
00:45:18You made it for me every year.
00:45:20My whole life.
00:45:21Tomorrow, I'll make it for you.
00:45:28This is my fault.
00:45:30I looked right at her and saw nothing.
00:45:32She hid her hands, traded her life away, and I just stood there.
00:45:36He used the Heartmen 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.
00:45:51That was all she ever wanted.
00:45:53I looked right past her for years.
00:45:58For stripping away every excuse I had.
00:46:00I have her back.
00:46:02Whatever it cost you, I swear on my blade I will repay that debt.
00:46:05She hasn't eaten in days.
00:46:07I made this for her.
00:46:08I don't know if she'll want it, but I need to give her something.
00:46:11I'm gonna 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!
00:46:32No!
00:46:33No, no, please!
00:46:34Maren!
00:46:36The scale always balances.
00:46:41Get away from me!
00:46:43Don't touch me!
00:46:45I want my sister!
00:46:47Get away!
00:46:49Where is she?
00:46:54Cedric!
00:46:55I 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.
00:47:17I'm not going anywhere.
00:47:19I'm here.
00:47:21Right here.
00:47:22I've got you.
00:47:28Lord Ashworth, she saved my family.
00:47:31She saved so many.
00:47:32We 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.
00:47:52I watched her disappear.
00:47:55Day by day.
00:47:57If the gods would take me instead,
00:47:59I'd go willingly.
00:48:01And 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.
00:48:13Every 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.
00:48:25Oracle, 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.
00:48:39If you took no coin,
00:48:41then tell me what you've been hiding in the dark.
00:48:44Every transaction.
00:48:46Every name.
00:48:47Every debt you buried.
00:49:06The Ashworth
00:49:07The Ashworth
00:49:07The Ashworth
00:49:08The Ashworth
00:49:18You stole my sister's life.
00:49:20You drained Maren dry to build your filthy empire and left her to rot in the dirt.
00:49:25She gave everything and 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, he 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 has been living under this very roof.
00:49:49You call her your ward.
00:49:50You let her do as she pleases.
00:49:52Do 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 missing from the patients.
00:50:15Maren did it herself.
00:50:17Plain greed.
00:50:18She used the sick to line her own pockets.
00:50:27Look out!
00:50:29Get back!
00:50:31That's gold.
00:50:32He hid it in the tablet.
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.
00:50:46You 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 and call her a thief!
00:51:00I will cut you apart right here!
00:51:02Cedric!
00:51:03Be reasonable!
00:51:04Look at what she had become!
00:51:05Who could look at that face and not be sickened?
00:51:08You are no blood of mine.
00:51:10You are nothing to me.
00:51:13Is 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, it 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 the 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.
00:51:39It rejected you because it looked inside your chest and found nothing at all.
00:51:45You let a child wither in your place and 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 how much of it you can bear.
00:52:09Very well.
00:52:33Let us see how much of it you can bear.
00:52:36No!
00:52:37Get off me!
00:52:38I am the lord of this!
00:52:42No!
00:52:43No!
00:52:45No!
00:52:45No!
00:52:56Every year, he stole from Maren.
00:52:59They just ripped it back.
00:53:02Sure.
00:53:09No!
00:53:09No!
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.
00:53:37I still owe you bread and broth.
00:53:40I'll make it myself. Just don't close your eyes again. Promise me that.
00:53:46Her face still carries what the years cost her.
00:53:49But the thirty years Aldric took from her have been stripped from his bones.
00:53:54They're hers now. Her hand is healed. The debt is paid.
00:53:58She will never serve in the dark again. She lives. The transaction is complete.
00:54:07Oracle. You didn't owe us this. I will carry this mercy until my last breath.
00:54:18You gave my sister back her life. My life is no longer my own. It belongs to you.
00:54:25Every 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.
00:54:59You took another piece of your power straight into yourself. Will you absorb this one too?
00:55:04It might have actually beenbeep medo.
00:55:17If you have a student. You must try to share it with your mouth.
00:55:21Not only would you provide an emergency?
00:55:22It wouldn't help you.
00:55:26You would put a mujer down.
00:55:32TheTONCNNN4 had to buy a dozen sunrise.
00:55:36Please! Help us! Have mercy!
00:55:43Talk to me. Did the exorcism drain you? Are you hurt?
00:55:48I am not hurt. When I pulled the Hartman Shard from your sister, I absorbed 30 years of her memories.
00:55:54Every single day she spent trapped in that house.
00:55:57There's an echo now. A pressure in my chest.
00:56:00You have a rule. You reclaim a piece of your power. You owe the bloodline one truth. One ember. One
00:56:07question.
00:56:09Maren gave her whole youth to keep me alive. She never got to ask her question.
00:56:15Maren.
00:56:16So I'll ask it for her. Look into your prophecy, Morgana. Did my sister's sacrifice mean anything? Tell me.
00:56:25Your sister asked what waits for you in the North. I didn't lie to her. So I'll tell you exactly
00:56:30what I saw.
00:56:31There is a line drawn across your fate. A terminal point.
00:56:35If you follow me to Ironwall, if you walk into Ravencrest at my side, you will stand before someone and
00:56:41bleed until there is nothing left.
00:56:43And you will die. That is the end of it.
00:56:47In front of who? Who do I bleed for?
00:56:50Me.
00:56:52Knowing this.
00:56:54Knowing that every step north is a step towards your own grave.
00:56:58And you still want to come with me.
00:57:00Forget it. It doesn't matter.
00:57:04You are ordered to stay behind.
00:57:07I walk into Ironwall alone. I don't need a shield.
00:57:11I swore an oath to you. I stand between you and whatever comes. I'm going.
00:57:21I told you how this ends. Are you not afraid?
00:57:27I lead the Obsidian Guard. I have walked into the dark more times than I can count. Every time, they
00:57:34said I wouldn't walk out.
00:57:37Every time, they said the odds were broken. And I am still standing here. Let them come. I will survive
00:57:43it. And I will walk you out of Ironwall myself.
00:57:56Hold the gate! I am Cedric Ashworth, commander of the Obsidian Guards. Hold the gates!
00:58:01me agatELutra.
00:58:03me agatELutra.
00:58:03now is full dead!
00:58:04me agatELutra.
00:58:16me agatELutra.
00:58:19me agatelutra.
00:58:21me agatelutra.
00:58:22me agatelutra.
00:58:26close theук to you again.
00:58:28I cover R old world while after rise.
00:58:28me agatelutra.
00:58:28Ash to ash.
00:58:31Darkness breaks. Gone.
00:58:52This malice. I know it.
00:58:55She broke them. Who goes there?
00:58:57Morgana.
00:58:59Lady Morgana!
00:59:01Forgive me. My grandfather speaks of you often.
00:59:05And you are?
00:59:07Finn Ravenkest, my lady. Grandson to Patriarch Thorn.
00:59:12Morgana. Smile for me. You look best when you smile.
00:59:16Foolish.
00:59:26You must think I'm completely useless with a blade.
00:59:28I've been sickly since childhood. My sister-in-law handles the killing.
00:59:32She lets me read instead. I apologize for the gate. It's just lately. The moment the sun sets, the dead
00:59:39walk. Vesta fears the undead soldiers, breaching the walls, slaughtering our people. Please forgive the locked gates, my lady.
00:59:46These undead outside your walls. What is their origin?
00:59:50We don't know. Not since my grandfather fell. They don't discern friend from foe. They just butcher. For six months
00:59:57we've been trapped here. Powerless.
00:59:58Thorn was injured?
01:00:01Yes.
01:00:02Ambushed by the dead weeks ago. He hasn't woken since.
01:00:06Take me to him.
01:00:08Of course.
01:00:09Finn!
01:00:16You dare test me, boy? Who authorized you to breach the protocol? Who gave you leave to welcome stray vagras
01:00:24into my fortress? Do Frost Stokes' laws mean nothing to you?
01:00:28Vesper, wait. This is Lady Morgana.
01:00:31Grandfather foresaw this. He said a woman named Morgana would come for the Shard. We must show her absolute respect.
01:00:37The Patriarch is dying. He needs silence, not scavengers chasing fairy tales.
01:00:42Commander Vesper. Even the Emperor bows to Lady Morgana.
01:00:46I suggest you mind your tone, before I cut out your tongue.
01:00:51Damn your southern king! Here, we follow North laws!
01:00:56Your laws? Tell me. What does the North demand?
01:01:00You want to see him? Bleed for it.
01:01:04Best me in combat. Win, and you get your audience. And your precious shard. Lose, and you crawl back south.
01:01:13Frostbite does not serve the weak.
01:01:14I'll gladly test your iron, Commander.
01:01:17Good! A real man! Bring me my steel!
01:01:24Morgana! My sister-in-law is a monster on the battlefield. She holds the true bloodline. No one beats her.
01:01:31Is this it, then? The day you foreseen I would die.
01:01:46The day you foreseen I would die.
01:01:54He's hurt! He will not die.
01:01:58He will not die.
01:02:00The plane will die!
01:02:04The plane will die!
01:02:19Well fought. Your form is decent. But you fight like you fear death. Always leaving room to retreat. Remember, a
01:02:29real enemy won't give you quarter. The 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.
01:02:46I 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 with the Patriarch.
01:03:03You see? I am still breathing.
01:03:05If you had truly defied my vision.
01:03:09Now 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.
01:03:24These are royal pelts from-
01:03:29Gods.
01:03:30What in the world is this?
01:03:33It's so soft. It doesn't even feel like wool. It feels like water.
01:03:38These deep red shapes here. What kind of flower is this?
01:03:42A rose. The sovereign of flowers.
01:03:45A rose. It's beautiful. I can't even imagine it. So this is what the South grows.
01:03:52Here in Frostspike, the winter never ends.
01:03:54The ground is iron. Nothing this fragile could ever survive the frost.
01:04:00If it pleases you, boy, help us reclaim the sherd from your keep.
01:04:04And this mantle is yours to keep.
01:04:07Truly? You swear on your honor?
01:04:10On my blood.
01:04:12Done. 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. The army never marched.
01:04:36Her husband died in the mud, left her and the child alone.
01:04:40Vesta has every reason to hate the crown.
01:04:43She struck a deal with the enemy.
01:04:46You are wrong.
01:04:49You said we were seeing the Patriarch. Why bring us to a crypt?
01:04:52Whatever you see in there, hold your nerve.
01:04:55My grandfather rests inside. Please, this way.
01:05:14What?
01:05:19Is this...?
01:05:20It is Thorn.
01:05:22Yes. Since the ambush six months ago, this crust began to form.
01:05:27It started around his wounds. Then it spread. Swallowing him whole.
01:05:32How many healers have you called?
01:05:34All of them. None could break it.
01:05:36What?
01:05:52This isn't a sickness, is it?
01:05:54It is his own madness.
01:05:56His madness?
01:05:57Thorn's natural life ended in the snow six months ago.
01:06:05But 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.
01:06:18While this stone shell devours his remaining soul.
01:06:22The undead?
01:06:24They came from my grandfather's own mind?
01:06:28What kind of nightmare could be powerful enough to breed an entire army of corpses?
01:06:37What is happening?
01:06:43The dead are marching in daylight.
01:06:47I'll hold the line! Gather the men!
01:06:50My lady, I'm begging you!
01:06:52Save Frostbike!
01:06:53Take the shard back!
01:06:54It's right there in his chest!
01:06:56Please, just take it!
01:06:57I beg you!
01:07:00Yes.
01:07:01But the shard must be freely given.
01:07:04Even I cannot carve it out by force.
01:07:06I will pull Thorn back from the dark.
01:07:09Do not let them interrupt me.
01:07:11This pennant will hold the dead.
01:07:13Plant it beyond the gates.
01:07:14It will buy me time.
01:07:16If the ward fails.
01:07:18If the dead breach the line.
01:07:21Or if you are overrun.
01:07:23Do not die for me.
01:07:25Leave.
01:07:26My orders stand.
01:07:28You are my charge.
01:07:30I do not break the line.
01:07:46I remember a boy.
01:07:49One who chased my shadow.
01:07:51Always begging for stories.
01:07:53Now.
01:07:55Reduced to stone.
01:07:59Veil lift.
01:08:01Flesh bind.
01:08:04Awaken.
01:08:07Thorn.
01:08:10Ashworth!
01:08:11Her magic broke!
01:08:12She's bleeding!
01:08:24Shit.
01:08:37Finn.
01:08:38What are you doing?
01:08:39I'm done pretending, Commander.
01:08:42Did you honestly think Vesper was the one who crippled my grandfather?
01:08:45It was me.
01:08:46Who left the gate wide open.
01:08:48So.
01:08:49You're the rat.
01:08:50They butchered your parents.
01:08:52Slaughtered your own brothers.
01:08:53They bled Frostbear dry.
01:08:55And you sold us out to the monsters?
01:08:59Sold us out?
01:09:00Monsters?
01:09:01Better than being the Crown's lapdog.
01:09:03Why should we bleed for them?
01:09:04Our ancestors all followed Morgana.
01:09:06We were equals once.
01:09:08But because they got different shards, some get to rule the capital.
01:09:11Some get the gold.
01:09:12And what did the rain creeps get?
01:09:13Three generations rotting in this frozen wasteland.
01:09:16Bleeding out in the ice.
01:09:17Just another name on a tombstone.
01:09:20Waiting to be wiped out.
01:09:22I won't let it end like this.
01:09:24I'm going to tear Frostfire down.
01:09:27Break the chains they put on us.
01:09:29I saw Morgana use this.
01:09:31It commands the dead.
01:09:33I hold the power now.
01:09:41Isn't that right?
01:09:44ROOOOOON!
01:10:11Let's go.
01:10:12Let's go.
01:10:13To the peace.
01:10:15Go.
01:10:32Now go.
01:10:33So bigoday.
01:10:42Four.
01:10:47Three.
01:10:59Sis, you came.
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.
01:11:45Yes, I 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.
01:12:00I... I dare not leave.
01:12:04Enough, Thorn.
01:12:05You have bled enough.
01:12:08Your bloodline.
01:12:10Your men.
01:12:14Hey, you have been dead.
01:12:15My body is dead.
01:12:16I can't.
01:12:27My ass is dead.
01:12:34It's...
01:12:39Sorry.
01:12:40I'm gonna kill you.
01:12:42It's...
01:12:47let the obsession die
01:12:51you must go
01:12:53whatever my sister commands
01:12:57Thorn will always
01:12:59obey
01:13:01but before I return
01:13:03the shard
01:13:05Morgana
01:13:06may I ask you one question
01:13:12what did you want to ask?
01:13:16all these years
01:13:19alone in the dark
01:13:24were you alright, Morgana?
01:13:39you won't touch her
01:13:42I was fine
01:13:49that is good
01:14:20I was good
01:14:29The Witch.
01:14:42So, this is the death you saw for me?
01:14:46You are never wrong.
01:14:50Morgana, it seems I won't be here to help you.
01:14:54Take back what is yours.
01:15:12Morgana.
01:15:14I make no grand claims.
01:15:16But I swear, I will help you take it all back.
01:15:37Monster.
01:15:38Monster, you godless monster!
01:15:41Monster.
01:15:54This world is sick.
01:16:04Finn, why would you do this?
01:16:06My brother.
01:16:08He died because the crown.
01:16:10Because the crown never sent reinforcements.
01:16:13He bled out in the snow.
01:16:16And ever since then, I haven't seen you smile.
01:16:20Not truly.
01:16:21I was so close.
01:16:23Just a little more.
01:16:26And I could have taken you away from this prison.
01:16:30You foolish boy.
01:16:33Frostspire is no prison.
01:16:36Look at the people behind these walls.
01:16:38The thousands we pulled from the slaughter.
01:16:40The soldiers I trained with my own hands.
01:16:43Every block of black stone.
01:16:45Every frozen inch of the north.
01:16:47Holds my blood.
01:16:49Nothing has ever trapped me.
01:16:51This is the line I chose to hold.
01:16:54Frostspire is my home, Finn.
01:16:56And I will defend it.
01:16:58Until I break.
01:17:01I thought...
01:17:02I thought you hated the crown.
01:17:06I only wanted to break your chains.
01:17:14I do hate the crown.
01:17:15But I love the north.
01:17:17I love our people.
01:17:19I am holding this line for your brother.
01:17:21So the children here.
01:17:22So my own daughter can sleep without fear of the slaughter.
01:17:26So it was just me.
01:17:29I was the only one who couldn't let go.
01:17:33Take me away.
01:17:36I will.
01:17:37I'll take you south.
01:17:39I want to sleep beneath the roses.
01:17:54Why the Frostspire?
01:17:55Why Thorn Ravencrest?
01:17:57My youngest student.
01:17:59Still breathes.
01:18:00I need to see him.
01:18:03And the Ravencrest piece of the crown.
01:18:05What is it, exactly?
01:18:06A drop of my own blood.
01:18:08The Undying Spark.
01:18:10Your blood?
01:18:11No wonder your skin is like ice.
01:18:13Morgana.
01:18:14How did you lose your eyes?
01:18:15Sixty winters ago.
01:18:17The realm was drowning in its own blood.
01:18:21To buy them a dawn.
01:18:23I offered my own flesh and soul.
01:18:26I stripped everything away.
01:18:29Bound it to the obsidian.
01:18:31Twelve fragments.
01:18:32Given to twelve disciples.
01:18:34To save this world.
01:18:37Sixty years have passed.
01:18:38My students took that power.
01:18:40And forged twelve great bloodlines.
01:18:44And now.
01:18:45There is peace.
01:18:47Now I take back what is mine.
01:18:50Morgana.
01:18:51What else are you missing?
01:18:53You never change your boots.
01:18:54I've never seen you eat.
01:18:56Or sleep for that matter.
01:18:59Silence.
01:19:08Morgana.
01:19:10I will help you get it all back.
01:19:14Every last piece.
01:19:16You have my word.
01:19:19No matter what it takes.
01:19:21No matter the cost.
01:19:30Sixty years ago.
01:19:31To buy this realm a breath of life.
01:19:34I gave my own flesh and soul to the forge.
01:19:38No attachments.
01:19:40No desires.
01:19:42I told you to run.
01:19:44But of course.
01:19:46Fate demands its due.
01:19:55Would you still draw your blade for me?
01:19:58Knowing it will only lead to your grave.
01:20:00I am going.
01:20:02I've commanded the Vanguard for years.
01:20:05I've faced death more times than I can count.
01:20:08But I have never lost.
01:20:10And I will not lose this time either.
01:20:15But I have never been seen.
01:20:18I'll be really happy.
01:20:20I have never seen it.
01:20:21But I have never seen it.
01:20:25I am not.
01:20:33I have never seen it in hell.
01:20:43So now I have to deal with me.
01:20:46My lady, forgive me.
01:20:49Assassins!
01:21:05This southern blood magic.
01:21:08They say one puppet butchers ten men, and I tore them apart before they could even blink.
01:21:12I feel like I could rip through solid iron.
01:21:15You were bleeding to death.
01:21:17No medicine could save you.
01:21:19So I bound a fraction of my shard to your fading heart.
01:21:22Tethered your life to mine.
01:21:24With my power in your veins, no mortal man can stand against you.
01:21:28You could have run.
01:21:30You chose to stay.
01:21:33You accepted my gift.
01:21:35From now on, you are bound to my will.
01:21:38Are we clear?
01:21:41So I am no better than these husks?
01:21:44I'm just your puppet?
01:21:46Do not compare yourself to such pathetic trash.
01:21:50They are nothing like you.
01:21:54You.
01:21:56You are my masterpiece.
01:22:10That shard of the crown was torn from my own veins.
01:22:15A single drop of my heart's blood.
01:22:21I never thought you would waste such a priceless piece of yourself on me.
01:22:25I never thought I'd even be alive.
01:22:28My lady, you always said your prophecies are absolute, never wrong.
01:22:32To give me the shard.
01:22:33To force me to live.
01:22:34Isn't this defying the gods themselves?
01:22:37Taking the heart back was a mistake.
01:22:45Morgana.
01:22:46Morgana.
01:22:48Farewell.
01:22:49Be wary.
01:22:51Without the Primordial Crown's shard, the Horde will show no mercy.
01:22:56I know the risks.
01:22:58But I command this gate.
01:23:00Shard or no shard.
01:23:01The Ravencrasts will hold this line.
01:23:04To the last breath.
01:23:08The Horde is at our walls.
01:23:10I ride with the Vanguard.
01:23:12Godspeed.
01:23:17Hi-ya!
01:23:26Why didn't you tell her about the warding spikes you planted?
01:23:30The wards are nothing compared to the Primordial blood still boiling in their veins.
01:23:35They will survive.
01:23:39What's happening?
01:23:41Are you alright?
01:23:41I feel a disturbance.
01:23:43A forbading sensation.
01:23:45I have looked ahead.
01:23:47I wish I had not.
01:23:48The road before us is dark, Cedric.
01:24:06We must push forward.
01:24:08Wherever you go, I will follow.
01:24:11Where to next?
01:24:13South.
01:24:14To the Scarlet Lands.
01:24:16I want to meet the fool who thought they could kill me.
01:24:18I want to meet the fool who thought they could kill me.
01:24:18You
