Short filmTranscript
00:00But my husband is gone, just to celebrate a slave's birthday.
00:04I watch the enemy circling our borders. I'm desperate.
00:08Blow the horns! Light the smoke! Get everyone to the shelters! Now!
00:13Panic hits the entire city. People drop everything and run.
00:17But the guard posts are empty. Even the war horses are gone.
00:20My servant stumbles toward me in terror.
00:23My lady, where are the warriors?
00:25Women and children surround me, crying. I have to tell them the truth.
00:28Lord Clack took every man and weapon. He's at a party for Alara.
00:32My mother-in-law screams in fury.
00:34Has he lost his mind? That bitch-ara seduced him. Now she wants us all dead.
00:41The crowd erupts, cursing her name. The enemy is getting closer.
00:44I can hear their growls nearby. I force myself to stay calm.
00:47To the catacombs! Now! Run!
00:51The enemy is...
00:54We built these tunnels for this moment. It's packed with women and kids.
00:58Everyone is terrified, breathing shallow.
01:00Where are they? I smell them!
01:01The enemy is right above us. If no one gets help, we're dead.
01:04My mother-in-law grabbed my hand.
01:06Sophia, you can ride. Go find Clack. Make him bring the warriors back.
01:11I gave her a bitter smile.
01:13If I go, he won't come back.
01:16The entire tunnel went silent. He hasn't left Alara's side for months.
01:21I need to take care of her, he says.
01:23They do everything together. People say they look like the real couple.
01:26I screamed. I demanded the truth.
01:29He called me jealous and small-minded. My position meant nothing when she arrived.
01:33My sister-in-law stepped forward.
01:35I'll go. I know the warriors.
01:37Besides, Sophia is pregnant.
01:39Before I could stop her, she was gone.
01:41She's crawling to the surface alone.
01:43We built these tunnels for this moment.
01:46We huddled in the shelter, praying, but the enemy found the entrance.
01:49There's a steel door! They're inside!
01:52I haven't seen a woman in months!
01:54We started smashing the door. The sound echoed through the tunnels.
01:58Women went pale. Children whimpered. We all prayed for the warriors.
02:02Half an hour later, my sister-in-law returned.
02:04She was covered in filth and reeking.
02:06Everyone cheered, thinking helplessly.
02:08But she collapsed, soggy.
02:10I'm sorry. They won't come back.
02:13What? Their families are here!
02:16My sister-in-law cried even harder.
02:18My brother said I was lying. He said we were just being jealous.
02:22He thinks we're ruining Alara's party.
02:25And then, he slapped me.
02:28We huddled in the shelter.
02:30She showed us the handprint on her face.
02:33The women exploded in rage.
02:34He abandoned us for a slave!
02:38The enemy is moving as close as soon.
02:40The doorbell flashed him out.
02:41I stepped forward to volunteering.
02:43I can bring help! The neighbors are close!
02:46My mother-in-law grabbed my arm.
02:48Sophia, everyone is counting on you.
02:51I held my pregnant belly and climbed out.
02:53I raced toward the border on a horse.
02:56Armed warriors were already waiting there.
02:57I recognized the leader immediately.
03:00Caius Harper, our second in command.
03:03Why was he here?
03:04He should be at the party.
03:06I stumbled toward him to explain.
03:08He grabbed me and yanked me down.
03:10His eyes were filled with pure disgust.
03:12Sophia, how can you be this pathetic?
03:15She showed up.
03:16I stared at him.
03:18What are you saying?
03:20Clark sent me here to wait for you.
03:22He said you'd lie about an attack.
03:24Just because you're jealous of a liar.
03:26My whole body started shaking.
03:29He blocked every road to stop me.
03:31The enemy is already there!
03:32If we don't go now, everyone dies!
03:35Caius hesitated.
03:36His family was back there,
03:37but another warrior whispered to him.
03:39If there was an attack,
03:40Clake would know.
03:41He's a war hero.
03:42He's never lost.
03:43Caius stayed quiet, then laughed.
03:46Sophia, you're a great actress.
03:48Clark is the best leader.
03:50How could he not notice?
03:52My heart shattered.
03:53I tried to run past him to the border,
03:55but he was faster.
03:55He grabbed me.
03:57He pulled out a rope and tied me up.
03:58You're not going anywhere.
04:00He threw me into the carriage and drove off.
04:02I watched my home disappear.
04:04I closed my eyes in total despair.
04:07I stared at him.
04:09A massive bonfire blazed at the lodge.
04:12Warriors sang for Alara's party.
04:14She danced with Clock under the stars.
04:16I watched my husband dance with his mistress.
04:19Rage burned through my veins.
04:21He's letting the whole city die for her.
04:23The enemy is breaking the door back home.
04:26And here he is, celebrating.
04:28They saw me and stopped dancing.
04:30Alara walked over with a fake smile.
04:32Sophia, I'm so sorry for you.
04:34You didn't have to lie about an attack.
04:36She smirked, leaning on Clock's chest.
04:39Clock looked at me with pure disgust.
04:43Baby, you're too innocent.
04:45Then he turned to me, voice cold.
04:48You're just jealous.
04:49Stop seeking attention.
04:50The steel door!
04:52It's breaking!
04:54They will kill every woman and child!
04:57Clock slapped me hard.
04:59I hit the ground.
05:01The more you act like this, the more I hate you!
05:04A mad...
05:06The more you act like this, the more I hate you!
05:09I struggled in the ropes, crying.
05:11If you won't go, let me get help!
05:13No.
05:14You're staying tied up all night.
05:16This is your punishment for lying.
05:19He grabbed Alara and started dancing again.
05:21I watched them least in the last moments.
05:24It was over.
05:25Everything was over.
05:27The party lasted until dawn.
05:29They laughed and joked on the way back.
05:30But when they reached the pack house,
05:32there was nothing but ruins and bodies.
05:35The air smelled of rot and blood.
05:37I stood at the entrance, sobbing.
05:39Everyone is gone.
05:40My whole city is dead.
05:44The shelter was full of severed limbs.
05:47Kaya stepped into a pool of blood.
05:49He saw a finger with an old thimble.
05:51It was his mother's.
05:52She never took it off.
05:54He fell to his knees, crying like a child.
05:57Another warrior found a tiny hair clip,
05:59a pink strawberry, his sister's favorite.
06:01He slapped himself, screaming in regret.
06:04I shouldn't have left you!
06:05Grief spread like a plague.
06:07Then Alara started her fake tears.
06:10Why did they attack on my special day?
06:12Did they know about my coronation?
06:15Her words were like gasoline and fire.
06:17Kwok looked at me with pure venom.
06:20You knew they were coming, didn't you?
06:21You let them die because you're jealous!
06:25The soldiers forced me to my knees.
06:28You sacrificed everyone to frame Alara!
06:33He slapped me so hard I tasted blood.
06:36Kaius grabbed my collar, eyes bloodshot.
06:39Did you lure them here for revenge?
06:42He threw me down and pinned me.
06:44My head hit the concrete.
06:46It was her!
06:47Why else did she survive?
06:49The warrior circled me with pure hatred.
06:52I curled up to protect my pregnant belly.
06:54The shelter was full.
06:56I thought I was going to die.
06:58Then, clock walked toward me through the crowd.
07:00His clothes were clean, his boots shined,
07:03he looked perfect while we were covered in blood.
07:05I curled into a corner, shaking with fear.
07:08The baby in my belly kicked.
07:10It felt the danger.
07:12Clock knelt down and touched my face.
07:14He whispered, stroking my bruised cheek.
07:16Sophia, does it hurt?
07:20His breath was warm, but his words were poisoned.
07:23You killed everyone.
07:25I can't let you live.
07:27He was framing me to cover his own cowardice.
07:29Suddenly, clock's boot slammed into my stomach.
07:32I heard the sound of my life shattering.
07:34Warm blood gushed onto the cold cement.
07:36I touched my belly.
07:38It was flat.
07:39Five months of life.
07:40Seventeen tiny kicks.
07:42Gone.
07:43Destroyed by one single kick.
07:45Ilara cried fake tears to add fuel to the fire.
07:48Sophia, why play such a cruel game?
07:50Clock raised his hand to order my execution.
07:53Stop!
07:54No!
07:55A familiar voice screamed out.
07:57Everyone turned around.
07:58It was my sister-in-law, Elle.
08:00And behind her, a group of surviving children.
08:03I thought I was...
08:04Elle told everyone the truth.
08:06The mothers died to save the children.
08:08They traded their lives for the pups.
08:11Warriors hugged their kids and cried.
08:13The kids lived.
08:14The mothers are gone.
08:16Clack turned white.
08:17He was speechless.
08:18We didn't all die!
08:21Elle screamed.
08:22She pointed at her brother with hate.
08:24If you hadn't left, they'd be alive!
08:27You and Ilara killed everyone!
08:30Kaya stared at Clock, eyes bloodshot.
08:32You said Sophia was just jealous.
08:35Now my family is dead!
08:38Why?!
08:40Furious warriors surrounded Clock and Ilara.
08:42Their screams were endless and painful.
08:44I felt no joy.
08:46Only emptiness.
08:47Everything went black as I collapsed.
08:49I woke up to the smell of bleach.
08:51I was on a rickety metal bed.
08:53My stomach was bandaged and flat.
08:55My baby was gone.
08:56My life is over.
08:58Elle told me.
08:59Kaya was kneeling on the floor.
09:01I'm a coward.
09:02I'm so sorry.
09:04Now you're sorry.
09:06You were so tough when you hit her.
09:08Kaya forced my hand to hit his face.
09:10I deserve to die!
09:12I was so blind!
09:14His tears and my blood dripped together.
09:17Enough!
09:18Enough!
09:18I whispered.
09:19Just stop.
09:20That baby was gone.
09:21Nothing left but a pool of blood.
09:23It will haunt him forever.
09:24But I was drowning in my own pain.
09:26I had no comfort left to give.
09:29I struggled just to speak.
09:30I whispered.
09:32Kaya.
09:32I want Clock and Ilara to suffer.
09:36I want them dead.
09:38He looked at me with bloodshot eyes.
09:41He gave a firm nod.
09:42He promised.
09:43I'm in.
09:44Kaya was kneeling on the floor.
09:47Elle jumped up screaming.
09:49That monster doesn't deserve to be Alpha!
09:53How can we ever trust him?
09:55Kaya stood there, silent.
09:57He pulled out a bloody combat knife.
09:59It was a birthday gift from Clock.
10:01He threw it down and crushed it.
10:04Consider it done.
10:06The warriors didn't kill them yet.
10:07They beat them to within an inch of their lives.
10:10Then, they dragged them to the feral pen.
10:12Vicious, starving wolves were waiting.
10:15Elle jumped.
10:16I saved you!
10:17I'm your savior!
10:19Clock screamed.
10:20He tried to play the hero one last time.
10:23Ilara was sobbing hysterically.
10:24Take Clock back!
10:26Just let me live!
10:28I watched them with cold eyes.
10:30Clock turned to his sister, Ella in a panic.
10:32Ellie!
10:33I'm your brother!
10:34I'm your brother!
10:34Don't betray me!
10:35Don't betray me!
10:37Ella laughed and threw an old watch at him.
10:39Inside was a note from their mother.
10:42Elle, learn from Sophia.
10:43Not your brother!
10:45Elle's voice shook with pure rage.
10:48Sophia protected us while she was pregnant!
10:50And Ellora?
10:53She was hiding in safety!
10:56I...
10:57Sophia worked all night during the attacks.
10:59Sophia reinforcing the walls in the storm.
11:02Sophia feeding orphaned pups her own food.
11:05Clock's face went pale.
11:06Silence.
11:07They were thrown into the cage.
11:09The wolves lunged.
11:10The screaming began.
11:11Black crawled toward me, bleeding out.
11:13Sophia!
11:16Save me!
11:17I remembered the delivery room.
11:20His betrayal.
11:21I raised my sword.
11:22A cold blade sliced through the dark.
11:25Clock collapsed as my sword pierced his heart.
11:28Ellera didn't even last that long.
11:30The wolves had already ripped her throat out.
11:32Caius handed me a gas canister.
11:34You wanna light it?
11:35I watched the flames roar to life.
11:38The fire burned away the past.
11:40My faith and my hope turned to ash.
11:42Revenge isn't sweet.
11:44It's bitter.
11:45Sophia!
11:46At dawn, I stood in the watchtower.
11:49I heard the children singing nearby.
11:51I remembered my past life.
11:53The warriors only believed me after the slaughter.
11:55The enemies were real.
11:56The attack was real.
11:57I stared at the bodies soaking in the soil.
12:00The warriors dropped their swords and wailed.
12:02One warrior cried in despair.
12:04Dominus!
12:05You said Sophia was lying.
12:08You said she was jealous.
12:10You made us guard Elena's birthday party.
12:12My child is dead.
12:15My mate is gone.
12:17Clock's face went bone white.
12:18I watched the carnage through my tears.
12:20The bond in my chest felt like a rotting wound.
12:23In my past life, he took everyone to the mountain.
12:26He only cared about his sweetheart's birthday.
12:29I was pregnant, crawling through the dark catacombs.
12:32My belly scraped against the cold stone.
12:34I found him and dragged the army back.
12:36I saved everyone.
12:38But Ellera was captured and murdered.
12:40Clock didn't say a single word to me.
12:42At dawn, not until the day I gave birth.
12:45He broke my legs and cut me open.
12:47He left me in the arena to die.
12:49He let scavengers eat me while I was alive.
12:52You were jealous.
12:53He whispered as I bled out.
12:55You lured the enemy here to kill her.
12:58Now feel my despair.
13:00The memory stopped.
13:01The great hall was silent as I walked in.
13:04The blood of the traitors still stained the floor.
13:07I sat on the obsidian throne of our city.
13:09Clock is dead.
13:11I declared.
13:12His cruelty ends today.
13:14I wore a deep crimson robe of absolute power.
13:18From now on, Obsidian City answers to me.
13:22The elders knelt, their robes brushing the dust.
13:25Rain stood at my right hand, leading the guard.
13:28Caius stood at my left, guarding my sword.
13:30Long live Empress Sophia.
13:32Long live Empress Sophia.
13:35Long live Empress Sophia.
13:38Not until the day.
13:40The shadows of my past life were finally gone.
13:44I wasn't just a survivor.
13:45I was the Empire.
13:47The city was rebuilding, but enemies still lurked.
13:50Old loyalists of the late ruler whispered in corners.
13:53She is just a woman.
13:55They sneered in the dark.
13:57I didn't wait for them to strike first.
13:59I invited them to a grand feast at the spire.
14:01The wine flowed, but the tension was thick.
14:03I know what you said about me.
14:05I whispered.
14:06The iron guards entered, their blades drawn.
14:08I didn't kill them.
14:10I stripped their lands.
14:12Mercy is a gift.
14:13I said, looking at them in the eye.
14:15Betrayal is a death sentence.
14:17Choose wisely.
14:18They trembled before me.
14:20The throne was mine.
14:22The shadows.
14:23The people were hungry for more than revenge.
14:26I opened the secret granaries to the hungry.
14:28I restored the ancient wells, bringing water back.
14:31A strong city feeds its children.
14:33I visited the shelters in the lower districts.
14:36I gave them silver and hope for a future.
14:38The people started calling me, mother of the city.
14:41Caius followed me through the crowded markets.
14:44You've won their hearts, Sophia.
14:45I don't want their hearts, I replied.
14:47I want their loyalty and their peace.
14:50For the first time, I felt the warmth of order.
14:53The arena was no longer a place of execution.
14:56I banned the sacrifice of innocent and weak.
14:59Instead, it became a stage for light and music.
15:02I sat in the high box.
15:04The twin sons of Caius sat beside me, his armor like a mirror.
15:07The people are laughing, he noted quietly.
15:10I thought back to the day clock left me to die, the smell of blood was replaced by Jasmine.
15:15This is the city I dreamed of.
15:18I whispered.
15:19Caius reached out and brushed my hand.
15:21And I will be the shield that keeps it safe.
15:24The knights in the palace were finally quiet.
15:27No more looking over my shoulder for assassins.
15:30I stood on the balcony, looking at the city lights.
15:33Caius joined me, removing his heavy helm.
15:36The borders are peaceful, Empress.
15:39You are safe.
15:40I am never safe.
15:42I said, turning to him, he stepped closer.
15:44His presence like a mountain.
15:46As long as I live, nothing will touch you.
15:50I leaned against his chest, feeling his heartbeat, unlike clock's hollow lies.
15:55It was steady.
15:56Stay with me tonight.
15:58I whispered.
15:58Always.
15:59He replied, kissing my forehead.
16:03The knight...
16:05I spent the night in the war room with Caius.
16:07Our maps were lit by flickering candlelight.
16:11They expect us to hide behind the walls.
16:13Caius said.
16:14I replied.
16:15Then we will meet them in the open sand.
16:18He looked at me, with a mix of fear and awe.
16:20You are more dangerous than any sultan, Sophia.
16:24I have to be.
16:25I said.
16:25For our people.
16:26The sun rose over a sea of marching soldiers.
16:29I rode at the front, wearing golden armor.
16:32The enemy thought I was a fragile flower.
16:34They learned the truth when the arrows flew.
16:37Caius led the heavy cavalry like a lightning bolt.
16:40I commanded the archers from the high ridge.
16:43The desert sand turned from gold to crimson.
16:45The sultan's army broke and fled into the wind.
16:48I stood among the fallen, my blade dripping.
16:51I wasn't just defending a throne.
16:53I was...
