Short filmTranscript
00:05Master Gideon, I won the grand prize at the moon feast, the moon-blessed Talimum.
00:10Everyone says this treasure can help me buy a small dwelling with sun-lined windows in the
00:14upper district. Fake. What? There's not a trace of moon magic. It's just dyed glass and carved
00:25plastic worthless. Fake! But this is the prize from the tribe's moon feast. It was officially
00:29purchased. Someone replace the real item. Little Omega, you have been framed.
00:45You want to see Alpha Cain? Such trivial matters about the sacred Talimum are not worthy of
00:50disturbing him. But it's fake! I just had it identified! Someone must have swapped it out!
00:55Give it to me. This is an order.
01:06Clara Bennett, you stole the genuine moon-blessed theft in Talisman to sell and replaced it
01:10with a fake one. The verdict is expulsed from the tribe.
01:13No! Maya framed me! She swapped the fake one! She has the box in her hands!
01:17Evidence shows you privately opened the prize, left the moon feast early and refused to register
01:21as required. Director Maya has submitted complete reports proving you intended to deceive the
01:25tribe with counterfeit goods.
01:28My life is over.
01:32No! No! Please!
01:38It turns out that this was an abandoned child rejected by their tribe. No wonder they are alone.
01:44Such tender prey, yet no one is guarding it. Since you have crashed into our territory and are bound to
01:49this stone-pillar, how could there be a reason to let go so easily?
01:58Since this is our first meeting, then stay well on this stone-pillar. Behave yourself and stay in this desolate
02:07forest.
02:30Look at you, so pitiful.
02:35You should know your place as an omega.
02:37If you had pleaded guilty earlier, you might have survived.
02:41You know what? After you left, Alpha Cain personally rewarded me, saying I rid the clan of a troublemaker.
02:48Your position is now taken by my assistant. She is far more obedient than you.
02:54Now you are completely ruined. Your name and your existence will all be forgotten.
02:58And I will climb higher and higher.
03:12It's over. Everything is finally over.
03:33I... I... I'm still alive?
03:37Where is this?
03:43This is... the Moon God gathering. The day I won the prize.
03:52Congratulations, Clara. You have won the grand prize of the Moon Feast.
03:56The Moon Blessed Talamin. Take it quickly.
04:03Give it to me.
04:04You are charged with theft and fraud.
04:05Now you are completely destroyed.
04:11Clara? What's wrong?
04:13Are you too excited? Hurry and take your blessing.
04:24Clara, what are you doing?
04:26The whole clan is watching. Take the prize quickly.
04:38Cain Alpha!
04:40This supreme treasure, the Moon Blessed Talamin, is far too precious for me.
04:44I am too humble to deserve its glory.
04:46I dedicate it to you, my respected leader, to show my utmost loyalty to the Blackthorn clan.
04:54No! How dare she? Stop! Are you crazy? You cannot give away the prize? It violates clan laws!
05:06Your sincere intent. Indeed, it goes against clan rules. I ought not accept it.
05:12In my past life, Alpha Cain used Clara's humility to destroy her life.
05:17In this life, Clara is determined to use Alpha's arrogance to take revenge and send him to hell.
05:24Cain Alpha! This supreme treasure is far too precious for me.
05:28I dedicate it to you, as a symbol of my loyalty to the Blackthorn clan.
05:33Clara!
05:36Stop! You cannot give away the prize! It violates clan laws!
05:43Your sincere intention. I ought not accept it.
05:49Nelpha! The law! The Figulate's giant must be registered by herself!
05:53You cannot take the lead and break the rules!
05:59Fine.
06:01Rules must be followed.
06:03Keep the sacred charm yourself, Clara.
06:06My plan failed.
06:13Good girl. Don't be willedful. I'll pretend nothing happened just a gal.
06:18Remember to register with me later and do not be late.
06:21The sacred amulet must be registered under your name before leaving the clan.
06:30I must calm down.
06:32There are surveillance monitors all over the venue.
06:34As long as I don't take the fake out or register, I'll be safe.
06:40There must be another way. There must be.
06:45There must be another way.
06:53Are you crazy?
06:54This is the moon feast. Everyone is around us.
06:57If Alpha finds out, we will both be doomed.
07:00All administrators are on my side. No one dares to talk nonsense.
07:07Besides, I won't have to bow to any wolf much longer.
07:11Oh? Did you get the money? Or something to pay off your debt?
07:20Money? That kind of thing is not enough.
07:24What I got is...
07:2630,000 moon coins in total.
07:33This is exactly the number I remember till death.
07:36It's the genial talisman, and I'm so sad you in my crushed me the creation.
07:42Did you really sell that holy talisman?
07:45Of course. It's already sold. Deal done.
07:47How dare I make such a big fuss about the prize otherwise?
07:51I made a perfect fake. Even Gideon can't tell it apart easily.
07:54I gave the fake one to that useless Omega, Clara.
07:57It's fake.
07:58Hand it over to me.
07:59You are charged with theft and fraud.
08:07Are you out of your mind? Even Alpha covets it. Once exposed, you will suffer terrible punishment.
08:11It will never be found out. As long as Clara takes the fake talisman away, she will bear all the
08:15blame. No one will believe a weak Omega.
08:18But what you owe is the Wolfheart curse. If you break the promise, your soul will be devoured and you
08:21can never reincarnate us.
08:22So I have to make Clara bear the debt for me.
08:25After the feast, I will enforce new rules to cash prizes. Without the real talisman, she has to mortgage her
08:29soul and take the curse instead of me.
08:30She dies, I live. It's perfect.
08:32You even dare to shift the soul curse. It's the biggest taboo of the clan.
08:34I can do anything to survive. Tonight, Clara must walk out of the gate with the fake talisman.
08:44It's not just debt, nor simple thief and resale. It's the Wolfheart curse.
08:56Two hours.
09:01I have to get this fake talisman out.
09:09Those with unregistered prizes are not allowed to leave the venue under any circumstances.
09:13The last person who hasn't registered, please go to the registration desk immediately.
09:18Don't hold everyone balown just because of yourself.
09:26Clara, only you are left. Everyone is waiting for you. Hurry up.
09:29Hurry up and finish registration. We all want to go home and rest. Stop dragging your feet.
09:32You used public opinion to pressure me.
09:35Maya, your tricks are still so shallow.
09:37Let's go. Stop dabbling.
09:43You finally showed up.
09:45I thought you'd hide till the feast ends, Clara.
09:47Isn't this our grand prize winner?
09:49Such a big air is making the whole tribe wait for you alone.
09:52You won such a great prize, yet look so unhappy.
09:55One would think you got cursed and sp...
09:59You don't want it? Just give it to me, then.
10:01I won't be picky at all. Everyone longs for the moon-blessed talisman, unlike some people who gain benefits, yet
10:09put on an unhappy face.
10:11Humiliate her well. Let her accept the curse in pain.
10:17The prey has finally taken the bait.
10:24What? What did you say?
10:28I said, hand it over if you don't want it. Stop pretending to be pitiful.
10:33Fine! Take it, then!
10:34I don't care about this worthless thing!
10:41Maya, you saw it! She gave it to me voluntarily!
10:44Hurry up and register my name! The talisman belongs to me now!
10:48No. How could this happen?
10:51The plan got out of control.
10:55No way!
10:56Why not? What do you mean?
10:58She gave it to me. Everyone witnessed it.
11:02Yes, Maya. I gave it to her voluntarily. She likes it so much.
11:06You heard her. What exactly are you trying to do?
11:08No exceptions! Only Clara's name can be registered. No one can break the rule!
11:13You are playing tricks on me! Rules! You make all the rules!
11:17You never stuck to rules before! You just envy me getting the sacred talisman!
11:21I didn't! You are talking nonsense!
11:23Am I lying? You are nothing but a liar!
11:28You took advantage of me and deny everything now?
11:39Alpha, am I seeing correctly?
11:42Isn't this the moon-blessed talim you've been longing for?
11:44It's quite interesting. I just heard Clara wanted to give this talisman to you as a sign of respect.
11:50Yet one of your subordinates stopped her without hesitation.
11:54Has Alpha's prestige become so worthless now? Anyone dares to defy you?
12:00Don't be afraid.
12:02You wanted to give the talisman to Alpha sincerely, didn't you?
12:07That was your true intention, Ri?
12:10Y-yes. I wanted to dedicate it to Lord Alpha.
12:13But, Officer Maya said it violated the rules.
12:17I didn't dare to disobey her.
12:20Oh? Has the rule of the Blackthorn Clan now been decided by a mere liaison?
12:31Clara, I will buy it.
12:35300,000 moon coin coin! Transfer now!
12:42Account! Now!
12:46300,000 moon coins has been credited.
12:48Hmph.
12:57Are you still giving me the talisman? I've already contacted Byers, just waiting to cash it in!
13:01Just give it to her.
13:02I'll make an exception this once, no next time.
13:05I've changed my mind. I'm keeping it for myself.
13:09We need to take photos for filing a registered procedure.
13:12Can I shoot more details?
13:13I will report to the Moon Guard if it is fake.
13:16No need to open it! Just photograph the box!
13:19Goods of the Clan can never be fake, don't overthink it!
13:24Wearing the new talisman hanging out with sisters, I finally hold my head high.
13:28Some show off fake treasures shamelessly. Moonlight never favors liars.
13:35Tomorrow's gathering will rely on the newly obtained Tassamon to command the scene.
13:40Congratulations, Alpha. The talism suits you perfectly. Moonlight stays with you.
13:44The bait has been firmly taken. It is only a matter of time to close the net.
13:49Everyone pay attention! All high value prizes must be returned and cashed out.
13:53Prevent embezzlement, resale, and fraud.
13:56Clara, hand over your talisman.
13:58What talisman? I don't have any talisman.
14:01Stop pretending. Everyone saw you take the Moon talisman. Are you trying to deny it?
14:04I drew it, but I didn't take it home.
14:06You're lying!
14:07The surveillance clearly recorded you leaving with the box.
14:10You stole the Clan's sacred relic!
14:15Alpha, you're just in time. Clara is hiding the prize privately.
14:19Fake! You gave me a fake! How dare you play me!
14:22Alpha, how is the talisman in your hands? This is impossible!
14:25I bought it from Clara for 300,000 Moon Coins. You dare to deceive me? How bold you are!
14:30I knew nothing. The outer trader must have switched the treasure. I hold official clan vouchers keeping files.
14:36Only you took charge of treasure purchasing, storage, and safekeeping. No other clan member has made contact with it.
14:40You falsely accuse me! I have no reason to do such things! I bear no hatred towards Alpha!
14:45You posted that fake treasures bring shame. Who were you insulting?
14:49I was talking about Clara, not you! So you knew the sacred charm was fake all along!
14:56You set me up on purpose! You knew it was fake long ago! You deliberately sold it to Alpha to
15:01humiliate him!
15:02You took the Oshative to buy it from me. All clan wolves here can testify. I really had no idea
15:06the sacred arm was fake.
15:08I'll transfer the 300,000 Moon Coins back to you right now. I don't want you to suffer any loss.
15:11No need. Keep the coins. You're innocent. You will compensate for all my losses. In full.
15:17It's Clara's name on the record! She's the one responsible! Prizes are ruled by registration!
15:21It states clearly. Sold to Alpha on site. Fully paid. Black and white proof.
15:26You didn't dare open the box back then! You had a guilty conscience! You did this on purpose!
15:31Can I check the rooms? I'll report it if it's fake.
15:34No need. Clan purchases are never counterfeit.
15:37You are expelled from the clan. Await the clan court trial and compensate all losses in full.
15:42You stole the real sacred charm to sell it and ease your Wolfheart curse.
15:45You swapped it for a fake and framped Clara to shift your curse to her.
15:48The clan will prosecute you. I will also claim 300,000 Moon Coins in personal compensation.
15:53Even after returning all stolen funds, your curse remains and grows far worse with backlash.
16:02Take this curse for me! I'll give you all my money! Who will bear the Wolfheart curse for me?
16:10Please! Save me!
16:15This was exactly my fate in the past life.
16:18Taunted by curse, abandoned by all, I died in utter despair.
16:23Now I return all of this to her.
16:25I have to find a way to get rid of the curse.
16:27Can you strip the curse off me? I'll pay any price!
16:29The only way is a dark ritual.
16:31You must sacrifice an innocent Wolf so low to strip the curse.
16:36This weak old wolf is the perfect sacrifice. No one will ever notice.
16:45Alpha! I am wronged!
16:46Clara swapped the charm and framed me!
16:48She covets my position!
16:50She intends to pass the Wolfheart curse to me! She is restless!
16:53He can witness everything! He saw it all!
17:05Look at me! Did you see Clara switch the prize that night? She hid the real one and left the
17:10fake here! Speak it out loud!
17:17Yes. I saw it.
17:22Clara, what else can you say? The evidence is undeniable!
17:33Old Ken.
17:37How old are you this year?
17:4278 years old.
17:44Can you see clearly?
17:45It was dark and far away that night.
17:48I can't see. My eyes grow dim.
17:51Can you hear conversations from far away?
17:54I can't hear things clearly.
17:56You stood 33 metres away, blocked by crowds and firelight reflection.
18:00You could barely see or hear. How could you witness me swap the prize?
18:07Did Maya approach you and promise three months of food and heal your leg pain if you testified against me?
18:13Did she threaten to drive you out and leave you to die in the woods if you refused to lie?
18:20Don't listen to her lies! He saw it with his own eyes! She's lying!
18:25Don't be afraid of her. This is the Wolf Clan assembly. The elders, the Alpha and the whole tribe are
18:31watching. Just tell the truth. No one can hurt you anymore.
18:37Maya forced me.
18:39She bribed and threatened me. She said she'd throw me to the wild wolves if I refused. I've betrayed the
18:45tribe. I'm sorry, Clara. I saw nothing. I was only afraid of being driven out. I'm old and homeless.
18:51He is lying! Clara forced him to change his words!
19:03I have sold the real sacred charm and left the fake one to Clara. I will pass the Wolf Heart
19:09curse onto her. Only her death can keep me alive.
19:17Maya! You stole sacred relics and framed innocent clansmen. You coerced false testimony and tried to shift the Wolf Heart
19:23curse. Your crimes are unforgivable!
19:27You are not worthy to be a Wolf of Blackthorn.
19:45Clara, the curse is devouring my soul. It hurts so much.
19:50I'm in agony. I was wrong. I shouldn't have hurt you.
19:55Help me. I don't want to die.
19:59You chose to steal relics, shift curse, frame others, and coerce the Elder Wolf. Every step was your own choice.
20:07The pain you suffer now is the consequence you deserve.
20:14Elders, Alpha.
20:15Maya has perished in the Border Wasteland. The curse devoured her soul entirely.
20:20Wild beasts dragged her body away. Not a trace remains.
20:23Every sin brings its reckoning. No one deserves pity for betraying the tribe.
20:29Sigurd...
20:30...
20:51Maya is a devil through and through.
20:54She deserved her fate.
21:01I promote Clara to Tribal Chief Administrative and admit her into the Supreme Decisioning
21:06Council.
21:07I launch an in-depth investigation into internal corruption.
21:11The former purchasing manager conspired with Maya for many years.
21:14They embezzled 7 in 60,000 Tribal Moon Coins with solid evidence.
21:19I proclaim three iron laws to be engraved in Tribal Code.
21:23Procurement shall be transparent.
21:25Sacred items need strict inspection.
21:27Violators will be expelled and severely punished.
21:31Tribal costs drop by 29%.
21:33Satisfaction reaches full score and complaints disappear.
21:36No counterfeit goods exist in the Tribe anymore.
21:39No scapegoats and curse transfers will ever happen again.
21:46I offer you the Tribal Chief Administrator position with doubled salary and full benefits.
21:52I once lost everything here.
21:54Now I choose to stay and guard every hard-working wolf in this tribe.
21:58Clara, you have lived again.
22:01You are not consumed by hatred, nor defeated by darkness.
22:05You hold your ground, believe in truth, stand with evidence, and remain humble and unyielding.
22:12All the despair, pain, curses, and death of the past life is finally over.
22:16In this life, you live in peace, strength, freedom, and endless light.
22:20No weak omega will perish under curses.
22:22Only a strong guardian who holds the rules and guards the moonlight.
22:25Sober, powerful, and never hurt again.
22:27No work.
22:29No contact youretsfree medication.
22:30Right on that, though, allow it in this word about 900 ofジャk.
