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!
00:18:52She's bewitched!
00:18:54Ah!
00:18:55Ah!
00:18:59The crown is ours, father.
00:19:02The crown is ours, father.
00:19:32There's a death to be all just the ones who'll be kinged.
00:19:34The crown isWill.
00:19:34You have a quest for you.
00:19:40But who?
00:19:43The crown is for a world to be EXเห-
00:19:44The crown is full.
00:19:46Highbed as the crown is a dead master of war.
00:19:47The crown is full!
00:19:50The crown is full.
00:19:52I have to be the crown, all the crown is full.
00:19:55See the truth his own blood. That's true
00:20:00But what if that girl was never your blood at all?
00:20:05Eleanor
00:20:06Why did the Emperor betroth Isabella to Prince Kale? It was destiny the Emperor declared it
00:20:12They were born the exact same hour
00:20:16blessed by the gods
00:20:20Wait, it's impossible Edmund tell me you didn't
00:20:26I had to secure our bloodline
00:20:32Give me the child I must see
00:20:34Tell the truth. Is it a boy?
00:20:37A girl my lady a girl. No, you're lying a daughter just as I said
00:20:45Why me?
00:20:49The consort is waiting if it's a boy
00:20:53I'm ruined breathe my lady
00:20:55Panic is a luxury. We can't afford Duke Alistair has already arranged a solution. Bring the bundle inside now
00:21:05Look closely pure Alistair blood a flawless son yours if you dare
00:21:14A son
00:21:15A son
00:21:16From now on you are mine
00:21:18The true heir of this house
00:21:21The true heir of this house
00:21:21My son
00:21:23My heir
00:21:44You're telling this court. I'm Duke Alistair's son
00:21:46No
00:21:48No, no, no, no
00:21:51I am the crown prince
00:21:55It can't be
00:21:56How could my husband do such a thing?
00:21:59This is treason
00:22:01What could he possibly want to risk all our lives?
00:22:04What did he want?
00:22:06Your son
00:22:06Sitting on the throne. That's what he wanted
00:22:12You need proof to make such claims
00:22:15This dark sorcery proves absolutely nothing
00:22:17Lord Alistair
00:22:19If I had to guess
00:22:20The moment the emperor degreed Isabella's marriage
00:22:23You realized if she entered the royal court
00:22:25The crown would eventually discover her secret
00:22:27So you hired a pack of mercenaries
00:22:29To stage a bandit raid on the carriage
00:22:31But Morgana's warning put my guard on alert
00:22:34You feared with extra men your hired killers
00:22:36Wouldn't be able to finish the job
00:22:37So you killed your own daughter before she left
00:22:39And as for your loyal servants
00:22:41They break much faster than paid assassins
00:22:43Commander! Commander Ashworth!
00:22:45Lord Alistair's personal guard
00:22:46They've confessed to everything
00:22:47The signed confessions
00:22:49They admit the Duke ordered them to silence Isabella
00:22:52Before she even left
00:22:58My entire life of scheming
00:23:00All crushed by fate's cruel hand
00:23:05The eye you granted us
00:23:07Gave House Alistair absolute power
00:23:10Unmatched wealth
00:23:11Unmatched glory
00:23:13But the emperor still stood above me
00:23:15Until that day
00:23:17When I saw
00:23:20I saw
00:23:22I saw the truth
00:23:28If my son took the cradle
00:23:31He'd rule the world
00:23:34But the vision didn't end there
00:23:36I saw the flaw that would kill us
00:23:38The decree
00:23:39The royal wedding
00:23:41If Isabella entered that palace
00:23:44He would see my daughter
00:23:47He'd see the exact face of the young empress
00:23:51He's not blind
00:23:53He'd know exactly what I did
00:23:56I had no choice
00:23:57You must see that
00:23:59I had to cut the rot out
00:24:01I had to protect my family
00:24:04My son will be emperor
00:24:06I had to
00:24:11Morgana
00:24:12Morgana
00:24:12I confess it all
00:24:13Punish me alone
00:24:15I beg you
00:24:15Look at me
00:24:16Remember my father's loyalty
00:24:20Spare my wife
00:24:21He's lying
00:24:22We knew nothing
00:24:23Please
00:24:24I'm begging you
00:24:26Take my life
00:24:27But let them live
00:24:28Granted
00:24:29Thank you
00:24:30Oracle
00:24:31My life for theirs
00:24:35Edmund
00:24:36No
00:24:37Edmund
00:24:38No
00:24:39Edmund
00:24:40Edmund
00:24:41Edmund
00:24:42Please stay
00:24:45Wake up
00:24:46Please
00:24:47Don't leave me
00:25:21I gave them my sight
00:25:23To watch them die
00:25:24To watch the dark
00:25:25Instead
00:25:26They watch the throne
00:25:28Built a lie
00:25:29Thought they could cheat fate
00:25:31Thought they owned me
00:25:33They own nothing
00:25:36I'm taking it all back
00:25:37With blood
00:25:40Mortal hands cannot hold the weight of a god
00:25:43It crushes them
00:25:46The Alistair debt is settled
00:25:48My sight is mine again
00:25:51Now
00:25:52We move to the next house
00:25:54Stop
00:25:56You can't just march in there
00:25:58This is treason
00:25:59I must alert the emperor
00:26:00No need to call the emperor
00:26:02He's already here
00:26:09Gods
00:26:11The emperor

00:27:11Ancient inheritance
00:27:13The crown shard in exchange

00:28:06That is the sovereign's carriage
00:28:08It breaks royal protocol
00:28:09Shut your mouth
00:28:12Lady Morgana is the law
00:28:13Her word is absolute
00:28:15There is no protocol in this world
00:28:16That outrants her
00:28:17Isn't that right, my dear lady?
00:28:20Please

00:28:29I swear to god
00:28:30I will hang every last member
00:28:32Of your retted house
00:28:33Do I make myself clear?
00:28:35Crystal clear, your grace
00:28:37My dear lady Morgana
00:28:38I have just remembered
00:28:40Some urgent matters of state
00:28:42To attend to
00:28:43I must take my leave
00:28:48You serve lady Morgana now
00:28:50Farewell, have a pleasant journey
00:28:56They
00:28:56Earlier you said
00:28:57That I had your heart
00:28:59What the hell does that mean?
00:29:00Sixty years ago
00:29:02My heart was carved from my chest
00:29:05It is not with you
00:29:09It is in your house
00:29:11My house?
00:29:15This way lady Morgana
00:29:17Thanks to your grace
00:29:18Sixty years ago
00:29:19When you bestowed the heartmen shard upon us
00:29:22The Ashworth name is now renowned for our healing arts
00:29:24You see?
00:29:25These afflicted souls travel from the furthest corners of the kingdom
00:29:29Seeking our aid
00:29:31So, the legendary Ashworth healing arts
00:29:34Actually came from you
00:29:37Tell me then
00:29:39Just how old are you exactly?
00:29:41Does it matter to you?
00:29:43Please my lord
00:29:44Save my mother
00:29:45Wake up mama
00:29:46Somebody help her
00:29:47Have mercy
00:29:48Please help my mother
00:29:49I beg of you
00:29:51This is all the coin I have
00:29:53Please
00:29:55Show some mercy
00:29:57A handful of dirty coppers
00:29:58And you expect the master's healing for that?
00:30:01Get out of here now
00:30:03Stop wasting everyone's time
00:30:04Selina!
00:30:08Cedric!
00:30:09You're finally home
00:30:10When I gave your family the shard
00:30:12It was to heal the broken
00:30:14To serve the realm
00:30:16Not to exploit the weak
00:30:17You have broken the pact
00:30:19Give the fragment back
00:30:20Who do you think you are?
00:30:22How dare a commoner like you
00:30:24Make demands in Ashwild Key
00:30:26Silence!
00:30:26Show her respect!
00:30:29This is Selina Frost
00:30:31A ward
00:30:33Taken in by my father
00:30:35Selina
00:30:35We heal the sick
00:30:37Regardless of coin
00:30:38Have you forgotten?
00:30:39Go to the chapel
00:30:40Pray
00:30:41Beg her forgiveness
00:30:42You heard him!
00:30:43To the chapel now!
00:30:47I beg your pardon my lady
00:30:49I had no idea she was extorting them
00:30:52Rest assured
00:30:53The Ashwoods honor your gift
00:30:55We'd never turn away the poor
00:30:57Most days
00:30:58We treat all these commoners
00:30:59Without asking for any money
00:31:02I said return the shard
00:31:06Or do you mean to defy me?
00:31:08No! No!
00:31:09The relic is rightfully yours
00:31:11I will return it to you immediately
00:31:13It is just
00:31:15The Hartman Shrad
00:31:16Is kept safe by my eldest Marin
00:31:18She's been in seclusion
00:31:19At a distant abbey for years
00:31:21Once she returns from her retreat
00:31:23I will present it to you myself
00:31:24Fine
00:31:25I will wait
00:31:31Every time I return
00:31:33She still won't see me
00:31:36Fifteen years
00:31:37Fifteen years since I've laid eyes on her
00:31:39Does she really despise me that much?
00:31:42Why do you think she treats you with such coldness?
00:31:46Because of what I did
00:31:48She hates me
00:31:50She hates me
00:31:50When I was a boy
00:31:51I almost died
00:31:53My sister came for me
00:31:55And the iron drove through her right arm in my place
00:31:58She was never the same again
00:32:02She was a master healer
00:32:04Those gifted hands
00:32:06She could bring the dying back to life
00:32:08But because of me the scar on her arm never faded
00:32:11And she was taken from me forever
00:32:14She became a completely different person after that
00:32:16The Hartman Shard was hers by birthright
00:32:20With its power she became the greatest healer in the kingdom
00:32:23And then they sent her far away
00:32:24To a quiet abbey where she could practice in peace
00:32:28But I know the truth
00:32:30That day became a thorn in her heart
00:32:33One that will never be pulled out
00:32:35Every time she looks at me
00:32:37She remembers what saving me cost her
00:32:39Everything is bound by consequence, commander
00:32:42You see only the branches above the soil
00:32:44But you are blind to the roots below
00:32:47What is that supposed to mean?
00:32:49You will know soon enough
00:32:55My knees are hurting
00:32:56I'll fetch the salve
00:32:59Cedric just got back
00:33:00And he's already screaming at me because of her
00:33:04She's an honored guest
00:33:05Even Lord Ashworth had to apologize to her
00:33:07Master Cedric serves her
00:33:09People are whispering
00:33:11She might be his future bride
00:33:13His future bride?
00:33:14Look at her
00:33:16She's a freak
00:33:17With that filthy black rags
00:33:20She doesn't deserve Cedric
00:33:26Crone, what is that?
00:33:28Honey cakes, Master Cedric's favourite
00:33:31And imperial spiced wine for Lady Morgana
00:33:35Halt!
00:33:37Imperial spiced wine?
00:33:39A gift from the Emperor himself
00:33:41It's worth a fortune
00:33:42You 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
00:33:57Drink up, Morgana
00:33:59Go, take it to her
00:34:02I cannot, my lady
00:34:03She is Master Cedric's guest
00:34:07Know your place
00:34:09Know your place
00:34:09Without Ashfield Charity
00:34:11A useless old crone
00:34:13Would be rotting in the gutter
00:34:16Pathetic
00:34:21I am disciplining a servant
00:34:23Since when does a blind freak interfere with Ashfield affairs?
00:34:27If your tongue serves only to offend
00:34:29Then you should not speak at all
00:34:34Morgana
00:34:36You little piece of-
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?
00:34:43Guts!
00:34:43Help us!
00:34:44Get Lord Aldric! She's choking!
00:34:46She can't breathe!
00:34:47Lord Aldric!
00:34:48Please, hurry!
00:34:49I'm right here!
00:34:50Just breathe!
00:34:51She 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 apologize to you at once
00:35:00What are you waiting for? Apologize!
00:35:02Now! 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!
00:35:21I'm just a servant!
00:35:22Silence!
00:35:23Just be grateful!
00:35:25Every brick in this house
00:35:26Rests on the Hartmann Shard
00:35:28She built our legacy
00:35:31Oracle, I beg you
00:35:33She's terrified
00:35:35Let it be enough, please
00:35:37Have mercy
00:35:44Your mercy is boundless, my lady
00:35:46I will discipline the girl at once
00:35:49Come, my lady
00:35:50Let 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
00:36:03You must stay longer this time
00:36:06Your name day is soon
00:36:07I 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
00:36:26She sneaked me pouches
00:36:28And every year on my name day
00:36:30When my own sister was lost to me
00:36:32She brought me warm broth
00:36:34And fresh bread
00:36:36With her
00:36:37I almost remember what having a sister felt like
00:36:40If that is true
00:36:41You 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
00:36:51To realize what you have lost
00:36:56Listen to me, child
00:36:58Never cross paths with Morgana again
00:37:00She thinks she owns us
00:37:02Patience, my sweet girl
00:37:04I'm securing your future
00:37:06Play 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
00:37:16To return the Hartman Shard
00:37:18To its rightful owner
00:37:19We have heard
00:37:20When you take back what is yours
00:37:23You offer a reading in return
00:37:25Lady Ashworth has written her question
00:37:28Right here on this parchment
00:37:30Take it, Cedric
00:37:36I will not answer this question
00:37:39Because the Hartman Shard is a fake
00:37:41What?
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
00:37:50Tonight
00:37:51Don't
00:37:52What is mine
00:37:54Will always return to my hands
00:37:57Lady Morgana
00:37:58Commander Ashford
00:37:59Commander 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
00:38:31Please, you must help her
00:38:33Mother is...
00:38:34Her flame has burned out
00:38:35Her time is over
00:38:38Prepare the crypt
00:38:39Lies
00:38:40That 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
00:38:51Stop making pathetic excuses
00:38:53I say
00:38:54You have no real power
00:38:56You're nothing but a fraudulent witch
00:38:58Selina
00:38:59This is a royal chamber
00:39:01Not your playground
00:39:01Your Grace
00:39:02I can heal her
00:39:03On my life
00:39:05Selina Frost
00:39:06You should know
00:39:07Cedric knows it well
00:39:09My prophecies
00:39:10Are never wrong
00:39:11Care to make a wager then?
00:39:14On what?
00:39:14If I win
00:39:15I want the Emperor
00:39:17To decree my marriage to Cedric
00:39:19And
00:39:19I want your head
00:39:21severed 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
00:39:40I will grant your every wish
00:39:49So you stole the Hartmann Schnarr
00:39:51Cedric
00:39:52I'll be a master healer
00:39:55Just like your sister
00:39:56Then you'll finally see
00:39:58I'm the only one for you
00:40:01Forcing fate
00:40:02Only brings ruin
00:40:04If you insist on this path
00:40:06You alone will choke on the ashes
00:40:11Save your cheap parlour tricks
00:40:13Healing the sick is God's work
00:40:14There's no price for that
00:40:17By the old blood
00:40:19I command the vessel
00:40:21Take the living spark
00:40:23Feed the dying flame
00:40:27Awaken
00:40:31Wake up!
00:40:35Wake!
00:40:36Wake!
00:40:40Wake up!
00:40:46What's happening?
00:40:48It burns!
00:40:50It burns!
00:40:51It burns!
00:40:52It burns!
00:40:52It burns!
00:40:53Oh God!
00:40:57Water!
00:40:58Please!
00:41:05Mother!
00:41:06Mother!
00:41:07Wake up!
00:41:08Mother!
00:41:11My face!
00:41:12No!
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
00:41:24Does it take?
00:41:28Whose life did you think you were spending?
00:41:31The 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
00:41:53It won't buy her a single day
00:41:57Then what about Maren?
00:41:58Explain Maren!
00:41:59She 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!
00:42:13It took everything
00:42:13My skin, my life
00:42:16Why just me?
00:42:18You said she was perfect
00:42:21Cedric
00:42:21You believe she hid from you for 10 years
00:42:24It never crossed your mind
00:42:26That 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
00:42:42The only one who still cooks for you
00:42:44Who 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!
00:42:54My lord!
00:42:57You can't be in!
00:43:01Maren
00:43:02Gods
00:43:03It's really you
00:43:08Move along
00:43:09Get out
00:43:10Move
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
00:43:20My lord, you're mistaken
00:43:21She's not Maren
00:43:23She's just an old crone
00:43:24Nothing more
00:43:26My 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
00:43:42Only the heartman shard bearer
00:43:45Can 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
00:44:05Maren
00:44:09Why didn't you tell me?
00:44:13Why?
00:44:14All these years
00:44:15Why didn't you tell me?
00:44:18Every time I used the shard
00:44:20It stole a year of my life
00:44:22Burned away
00:44:23Then one morning
00:44:25I looked in the glass
00:44:27White hair
00:44:28Hands shaking like a crone
00:44:30Maren
00:44:31Let me in
00:44:31My 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, stop it
00:44:44Don't ever say that
00:44:45Look at me
00:44:46You are Maren
00:44:47The bravest person I know
00:44:49But I abandoned you
00:44:51You gave me your entire life
00:44:54And I was blind
00:44:55I didn't see my own sister
00:44:57I'm sorry
00:44:58Oh, my brave little brother
00:45:01It's alright now
00:45:10Cedric, tomorrow is your name day
00:45:12I haven't made your broth yet
00:45:15Maren, please
00:45:16Just rest
00:45:17You made it for me every year
00:45:19My whole life
00:45:21Tomorrow
00:45:22I'll make it for you
00:45:28This is my fault
00:45:30I looked right at her
00:45:31And saw nothing
00:45:32She hid her hands
00:45:33Traded her life away
00:45:35And I just stood there
00:45:36He used the Heartmen Shard
00:45:38To drain her
00:45:38Year by year
00:45:39While 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
00:45:56Thank you
00:45:58For stripping away every excuse I had
00:46:00I have her back
00:46:02Whatever it cost you
00:46:03I swear on my blade
00:46:04I 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
00:46:09But 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
00:46:29Maren
00:46:30Maren
00:46:31Maren wake up
00:46:32No, no please
00:46:34Maren
00:46:36The scale always balances
00:46:40Get away from me
00:46:43Don't touch me
00:46:44I want my sister
00:46:46Get away
00:46:49Where is she?
00:46:54I want my sister
00:46:55I want my sister
00:46:57Cedric
00:46:58I'm here
00:46:59Look at me
00:47:00Don'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
00:47:20I'm here
00:47:21Right here
00:47:22I've got you
00:47:28Lord Ashworth
00:47:29She saved my family
00:47:31She saved so many
00:47:32We had to come
00:47:34Everyone knew how much she meant to you my lord
00:47:36Her 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
00:47:50Her 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
00:48:00And yet you stood there
00:48:02Every scar on her body
00:48:05Every year taken from her
00:48:07His hands did that
00:48:08All 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
00:48:24Oracle, please
00:48:27Everyone here knows the Ashworth name
00:48:29We heal the sick
00:48:30We never ask for coin
00:48:32We serve the people
00:48:33You 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
00:49:04These are property deeds
00:49:05Hundreds of them
00:49:06The Ash House fled the High Lords dry
00:49:08In secret
00:49:09They traded healing for mansions
00:49:11For land
00:49:12We thought you were a saint, Uldric
00:49:15You're nothing but a leech
00:49:16A parasite
00:49:17You stole my sister's life
00:49:19You 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
00:49:42There 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
00:49:48You 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
00:50:12If 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
00:50:27Look out! Get 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
00:50:40You 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
00:50:56And you dare stand over her coffin and call her a thief
00:51:00I will cut you apart right here
00:51:02Cedric, be 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
00:51:12Is 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, it binds only to the women
00:51:20It rejected me, it was never my choice
00:51:22We kept her fed
00:51:23Kept 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
00:51:34It does not choose by blood or gender
00:51:37It chooses by the will to sacrifice
00:51:39It 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
00:51:47And called it fate
00:51:49You said you wished to carry the burden
00:51:51You wanted the ember's power for yourself
00:51:54You wanted it all
00:51:58Very well
00:52:01Very well
00:52:02Let us see
00:52:03How much of it you can bear
00:52:09Very well
00:52:10I ever would be점 to take this
00:52:19Me
00:52:20I OKI
00:52:20Let me do this
00:52:33It's just telling you
00:52:34not kay
00:52:34But not as well
00:52:35Again
00:52:37Get off me!
00:52:38I'm the lord of this-
00:52:42Nooo!
00:52:44Nooo!
00:52:46Nooo!
00:52:56Every year he stole from Maren, they just ripped it back.
00:53:19Maren, can you hear me? Look at me!
00:53:25You... you came back.
00:53:30You'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.
00:53:46Her face still carries what the years cost her. But the thirty years Aldric took from her have been stripped
00:53:52from 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.
00:54:31Wherever you walk, I walk with you. Until my blood runs cold.
00:54:42Remember 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
00:55:04you absorb this one too?
00:55:06The Hartman Shard. It's time it blew minutes.
00:55:07Maybe even if своей happened. You're getting为usprok.
00:55:29It's timevi Housing.
00:55:31Your scarf is hungry. You can't pay attention. It's time it邪魔.
00:55:32Maybe it is a road that... is a road that there is.
00:55:33What's startup to do?
00:55:34If your friend is gonna have to fly down.
00:55:36Please! Help us! Have mercy!
00:55:43Talk to me.
00:55:45Did the exorcism drain you? Are you hurt?
00:55:48I am not hurt.
00:55:49When 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.
00:56:05One ember. One 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. Look into your prophecy, Morgana.
00:56:20Did my sister's sacrifice mean anything? Tell me.
00:56:25Your sister asked what waits for you in the north.
00:56:27I didn't lie to her, so I'll tell you exactly what 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,
00:56:40you will stand before someone and bleed 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.
00:57:09I don't need a shield.
00:57:11I 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?
00:57:27I lead the Obsidian Guard.
00:57:29I have walked into the dark more times than I can count.
00:57:33Every time, they said I wouldn't walk out.
00:57:37Every 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.
00:57:57I am Cedric Ashworth, commander of the Obsidian Guards.
00:58:01Hold the gates.
00:58:02Guards.
00:58:02They're here.
00:58:03Fall back.
00:58:04Bar the gates.
00:58:09Go on, eh.
00:58:28Ash to ash.
00:58:30Darkness breaks.
00:58:33Gone.
00:58:52This malice.
00:58:54I know it.
00:58:55She broke them.
00:58:56Who goes there?
00:58:58Morgana.
00:58:59Lady Morgana!
00:59:01Forgive me.
00:59:03My grandfather speaks of you often.
00:59:06And you are?
00:59:07Finn Ravenkest, my lady.
00:59:09Grandson to Patriarch Thorne.
00:59:11Morgana.
00:59:12Smile for me.
00:59:13You 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.
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...
00:59:37Lately, the moment the sun sets, the dead walk.
00:59:40Vesta fears the undead soldiers breaching the walls.
00:59:43Slaughtering our people.
00:59:45Please forgive the locked gates, my lady.
00:59:47These undead outside your walls.
00:59:48What is their origin?
00:59:50We don't know.
00:59:51Not since my grandfather fell.
00:59:53They don't discern friend from foe.
00:59:54They just butcher.
00:59:56For six months we've been trapped here.
00:59:58Powerless.
00:59:59Thorne was injured?
01:00:01Yes.
01:00:02Ambushed by the dead weeks ago.
01:00:04He hasn't woken since.
01:00:06Take me to him.
01:00:09Of course.
01:00:09Finn!
01:00:16You dare test me, boy?
01:00:19Who authorized you to breach the protocol?
01:00:21Who gave you leave to welcome stray vagras into my fortress?
01:00:26Do 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.
01:00:39He needs silence, not scavengers chasing fairy tales.
01:00:42Commander Vesper.
01:00:44Even the Emperor bows to Lady Morgana.
01:00:47I suggest you mind your tone before I cut out your tongue.
01:00:51Damn your southern king!
01:00:53Here, we follow north laws.
01:00:56Your laws.
01:00:57Tell me.
01:00:59What does the north demand?
01:01:01You want to see him?
01:01:02Bleed for it.
01:01:04Best me in combat.
01:01:06Win, and you get your audience.
01:01:08And your precious shard.
01:01:09Lose, and you crawl back south.
01:01:13Frostbite does not serve the weak.
01:01:15I'll gladly test your iron, Commander.
01:01:17Good.
01:01:18A real man.
01:01:19Bring me my steel.
01:01:24Morgana.
01:01:25My sister-in-law is a monster on the battlefield.
01:01:28She holds the true bloodline.
01:01:30No one beats her.
01:01:31Is this it, then?
01:01:33The day you foreseen I would die.
01:01:38Ah!
01:01:39Ah!
01:01:40Ah!
01:01:54He's hurt!
01:01:56He will not die.
01:02:01Plain will die!
01:02:18Well fought.
01:02:20Your form is decent.
01:02:22But you fight like you fear death.
01:02:24Always leaving room to retreat.
01:02:26Remember, a real enemy won't give you quarter.
01:02:31The only way to outlive them is to care less about dying.
01:02:35Mother!
01:02:36Mother!
01:02:40There's my little bird.
01:02:42You promised me we'd practice archery today.
01:02:45I know.
01:02:47Go grab your bow.
01:02:47I'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 a patriarch.
01:03:03You see?
01:03:04I am still breathing.
01:03:05If you had truly defied my vision.
01:03:09Now that will be interesting.
01:03:14My lady, the north is freezing.
01:03:17I brought you these heavy furs.
01:03:18Your concern is noted, boy.
01:03:21But she has no need for such common scraps.
01:03:24These are royal pelts from...
01:03:29Gods.
01:03:31What in the world is this?
01:03:33It's so soft.
01:03:34It doesn't even feel like wool.
01:03:36It feels like water.
01:03:38These deep red shapes here.
01:03:40What kind of flower is this?
01:03:42A rose.
01:03:43The sovereign of flowers.
01:03:45A rose.
01:03:46It's beautiful.
01:03:47I can't even imagine it.
01:03:49So this is what the south grows.
01:03:52Here in Frostspike, the winter never ends.
01:03:54The ground is iron.
01:03:56Nothing this fragile could ever survive the frost.
01:03:59If it pleases you, boy, help us reclaim the shard from your keep.
01:04:04And this mantle is yours to keep.
01:04:07Truly?
01:04:08You swear on your honor?
01:04:10On my blood.
01:04:12Done.
01:04:13I'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.
01:04:32But the royal court was busy preparing the Emperor's jubilee.
01:04:35The 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.
01:04:50Why bring us to a crypt?
01:04:51Whatever you see in there, hold your nerve.
01:04:55My grandfather rests inside.
01:04:57Please, this way.
01:05:14What?
01:05:19Is this?
01:05:20It is Thorn.
01:05:22Yes.
01:05:23Since the ambush six months ago, this crust began to form.
01:05:27It started around his wounds.
01:05:29Then it spread.
01:05:31Swallowing him whole.
01:05:32How many healers have you called?
01:05:34All of them.
01:05:35None could break it.
01:05:37None could break it.
01:05:52This isn't a sickness, is it?
01:05:54This isn't a sickness, is it?
01:05:54It is his own madness.
01:05:56His madness.
01:05:57Thorn's natural life.
01:05:59Thorn'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, while
01:06:19this stone shell devours his remaining soul.
01:06:24What kind of nightmare could be powerful enough to breed an entire army of corpses?
01:06:43The dead are marching in daylight.
01:06:47I'll hold the line.
01:06:49Gather 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, if the dead breach the line, or if you are overrun, do 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, always begging for stories.
01:07:53Now, reduced to stone.
01:08:00Veil 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, what are you doing?
01:08:39I'm done pretending, Commander.
01:08:41Did you honestly think Vesper was the one who crippled my grandfather?
01:08:45It was me who left the gate wide open.
01:08:48So, you're the rat.
01:08:50They butchered your parents, slaughtered your own brothers, they bled Frostbear dry, and you sold us out to the monsters?
01:08:59Sold us out? Monsters? Better than being the Crown's lapdog. Why should we bleed for them?
01:09:04Our ancestors all followed Morgana. We were equals once.
01:09:07But because they got different shards, some get to rule the capital, some get the gold.
01:09:12And what did the Raincreaks get? Three generations rotting in this frozen wasteland, bleeding out in the ice.
01:09:17Just another name on a tombstone, waiting to be wiped out.
01:09:22I won't let it end like this! I'm going to tear Frostfire down, break the chains they put on us!
01:09:29I saw Morgana use this. It commands the dead. I hold the power now.
01:09:40Isn't that right?
01:09:43It's right!
01:10:17I'll be right back.
01:10:18I've reached Outro.
01:10:18I've reached Outro.
01:10:20I've reached Outro.
01:10:25I've reached Outro.
01:10:27I've reached Outro, and I'm going to be able to catch him.
01:10:28I've reached Outro.
01:10:29I can't reach Outro.
01:10:42Four...
01:10:49Three...

01:13:01But before I return the Shard
01:13:06Morgana, may I ask you one question?
01:13:12What did you want to ask?

01:19:19no matter what it takes no matter the cost
01:19:2960 years ago to buy this realm a breath of life
01:19:34i gave my own flesh and soul to the forge
01:19:38no attachments no attachments no desires
01:19:42i told you to run but of course fate demands its due
01:19:55would you still draw your blade for me knowing 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
01:20:14legitimately
01:20:42no matter how can i make the labor
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?
01:21:42So 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.
01:21:53You.
01:21:56You are my masterpiece.
01:22:00Hmm.
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.
01:22:27My lady, you always said your prophecies are absolute.
01:22:31Never wrong.
01:22:32To give me the shard.
01:22:33To force me to live.
01:22:34Isn't this defying the gods themselves?
01:22:36Taking the heart back was a mistake.
01:22:45Morgana.
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 Ravencrest will hold this line.
01:23:04To the last breath.
01:23:08The horde is at our walls.
01:23:11I ride with the vanguard.
01:23:12Godspeed.
01:23:26Why didn't you tell her about the warding spikes you planted?
01:23:30The wards are nothing.
01:23:31Compared to the primordial blood.
01:23:33Still boiling in their veins.
01:23:35They will survive.
01:23:39What's happening?
01:23:40Are you alright?
01:23:41I feel a disturbance.
01:23:43A forbading sensation.
01:23:45I have looked ahead.
01:23:46I 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.
