Short filmTranscript
00:05Inside here are 20 silver coins.
00:07Count them.
00:10Tobias, you're an old regular.
00:11How could I not trust you?
00:16Eli, what do you mean?
00:18Don't you want to make this deal?
00:19No, no, no, no, Tobias.
00:21I just hope you can hurry up and go easy.
00:23After all, you are not my only client.
00:27Is it okay now?
00:30Of course.
00:41Please, stop.
00:44Please, stop.
00:47The sheep spirit girl, Alara, had been abducted by my father, Eli, while he was chopping firewood in the mountains.
00:52She looked no different from a human, yet far more breathtaking than any mortal woman.
00:56Her hair white as a waterfall, skin glowing with a cold, ethereal light.
00:59She was a descendant of the sheep spirit clan that dwelled in the deep Nordic forests.
01:10At first, father meant to sell her to slave traders at the border for money.
01:15But after returning to the log cabin, he suddenly changed his mind.
01:26The year Alara gave birth to me, our family was so poor we could not even put food on the
01:31table.
01:32Father looked at the frail Alara, and the most vicious thought crossed his mind.
01:36He locked Alara in a hidden stone cave deep in the forest, then posted a notice on the tavern bulletin
01:42board in town.
01:43Twenty silver coins for a night with the sheep spirit girl.
01:46The men in the town rushed to my house like madmen, eager to pay their silver coins.
01:51Father counted the money, and told everyone he met.
01:53This is far better than chopping firewood my whole life.
01:56Before long, Alara fell gravely ill.
01:58Her skin began to fester, oozing yellow pus, and the entire cave reeked of rot.
02:02The only doctor in the town who was studying abroad rushed into the stone cave, and took a look upon
02:07hearing this.
02:08You are murdering her!
02:09If she but treated, she will not live three more days!
02:13How much will us to heal her?
02:14One hundred gold coins.
02:16Father's face shifted at once, and he shouted furiously.
02:18One hundred gold coins? Why don't you just rob a bank?
02:21The doctor shook his head and left in disappointment.
02:24Father stood there calculating for a long while.
02:27Early the next morning, he banged on every door in town.
02:29He called out with a leaking grin.
02:31Boys, my sheep spirit is on her last legs. Don't waste her!
02:35No more silver coins now. One sack of grain for a night.
02:38The men's eyes lit up.
02:39That night, countless people flooded to the cave.
02:42They carried sacks of grain and filled one by one into the dark cave.
02:45I hid outside the cave and heard Alara's weak cries from within, soft as the wind through the trees, gone
02:49in a breath.
02:50I tried to rush in to save her, but Father kicked me to the ground.
02:52Stay back, you little bastard. This is none of your business.
02:55Three days and three nights later, Alara died.
02:57Father dragged her body out of the cave, dug a shallow grave on the hillside, and buried her hastily.
03:02He brushed the dirt off his hands, turned to look at me, and his gaze pierced straight through me.
03:07My heart sank sharply. I knew what he was planning.
03:10I had inherited Alara's blood. White hair, snow-white skin, large eyes, identical to hers.
03:15You look just like your mother. You're 18 years old this year. It's time you earn money for the family.
03:20I won't go to the cave.
03:21What did you say?
03:22I won't go. I won't die a terrible death like Mother.
03:25I've raised you for 18 years, you ungrateful wretch.
03:28Your mother is gone, so you must take her place. It's only right.
03:33Disobey me, and I'll starve you to death. Raising you is a waste of food.
03:52Mother.
03:54Mother.
04:02Father! Mother isn't dead. She's in the cave.
04:06Nonsense. I buried her with my own hands. How could she be alive?
04:09It's true. I saw her with my own eyes. She smiled at me.
04:15I see you're just making up ghost stories to avoid taking her place.
04:18Fine. You won't go to the cave? Then I'll have them come straight to the house.
04:22The next morning, disaster struck the town.
04:24Gareth, the mayor's son, was the first to fall ill.
04:26A swollen red growth had burst forth on his neck, topped with two curved rambles.
04:30One by one, the other swallowed Tobias the birth butcher.
04:32Hugo the Hunchback Wood was a nepoter.
04:34Every man who had been to the cave grew the exact same sheep-shaped tomb.
04:37They crowded the town square, all as pale as death.
04:40What is this thing?
04:41Is it contagious?
04:42Damn it, it's the sheep spirit's grudge taking revenge!
04:44The mayor paced anxiously and sent men through the night to the neighboring town to fetch Mortisum,
04:48the most famous psychic sorcerer.
04:50Mordicom was a small, elderly man who claimed to have studied under the ancient Nordic gods,
04:54skilled at exorcising spirits and breaking curses.
04:56This is the spirit erosion curse, forged from the overwhelming wrath of the sheep spirit girl.
04:59Mr. Mordecai, is there a way to break it?
05:00Dig up the sheep spirit's body, carve off her flesh, boil it into a broth, let the sick
05:04men drink it, then rebury her bones properly.
05:07Hearing this, the men of the town sighed in relief.
05:09So simple, I wonder what sheep spirit flesh tastes like.
05:11That afternoon, everyone followed father to the hillside.
05:14Father grabbed a shovel and started digging.
05:15Strangely, her body was perfectly intact.
05:17Her skin still glowing with ethereal light, as if she were only asleep.
05:20Mordecai had the body carried out and took out a silver knife to carve the flesh.
05:23I stood in the crowd, watching helplessly as they cut pieces of my mother's flesh off
05:26and dropped them into a large cauldron to boil.
05:28The water in the cauldron bubbled quickly, releasing a strange sweet scent.
05:31The men lined up to drink the broth.
05:32Once they finished, they collapsed to the ground, and the sheep-shaped tumors on their
05:35bodies faded away slowly.
05:36You go bury it.
05:37I held the head and walked to the top of the hillside.
05:40As soon as I placed the head into the dirt pit, those closed eyes suddenly flow open.
05:44Alara looked at me, a sinister smile curving her lips.
05:47We stared at each other for a few seconds, and I smiled too.
05:50I knew she would come back.
05:51After drinking the sheep spirit broth, the townspeople truly recovered.
05:54The men were lively and energetic, their complexions rosier than before they fell ill.
05:58They gathered in the town square, chatting and leeching.
06:00I told you that sheep spirit was nothing special.
06:01Eating her flesh made me stronger.
06:03You're telling me?
06:03Last night I am better than ever.
06:05My wife says I'm a whole new man.
06:06As they spoke, their eyes all turned to me at once.
06:09Eli, your daughter is so lovely.
06:11No less beautiful than that sheep spirit.
06:12Now that the sheep spirit is gone, you can't let your income dry up.
06:14Already planned it.
06:15Just you wait.
06:16The next day, father bought me a long snow-white dress.
06:18He also made a wooden sign and red hung it around my neck.
06:21He forced me to dress up and paraded me through the town.
06:24I hung my head, feeling the gazes from all directions.
06:26Gazes like needles, stabbing deep into my skin.
06:29Men poured out of their homes, staring at me from their doorways.
06:32Several even started arguing on the spot.
06:34I get to go first!
06:35Why you?
06:36I bid 30 silver coins.
06:3730?
06:38I bid 50.
06:38Calm down.
06:39The bidding starts now.
06:40The highest bidder gets me tonight.
06:41In the end, Gareth bid 100 silver coins and won the first spot.
06:45Father was overjoyed, took the silver coins home, and counted them over and over.
06:49Young girls are worth far more.
06:51100 silver coins, way better than your sheep spirit mother.
06:55I sat in the corner, racking my brain for a way to escape.
06:58Gareth would be coming tonight.
07:00I did not want to end up like my mother, but I could not escape.
07:03Early the next morning, the town descended into chaos again.
07:07The sheep-shaped tumors on all the men had returned, and they were bigger and more terrifying than before.
07:12Don't worry, the psychic sorcerer Mordecai will definitely fix the problem.
07:23What have you done?
07:24What could I have done?
07:25I just let my daughter earn money for the family.
07:27She's my daughter.
07:28I can do whatever I want with her.
07:30You're digging your own grave.
07:31The sheep spirit soul has seen everything, and now she will have her full revenge.
07:38This is all your fault.
07:39You angered the sheep spirit.
07:41Give me my money back now.
07:42No, I will never give this money back.
07:46Sir, you must have a way to save us, right?
07:48You can't just let us die.
07:57Sleep with these daggers under your heads tonight.
08:00Check the tumors in the morning.
08:01If they shrink, there's still hope.
08:03If they grow bigger, all is lost.
08:15It's over.
08:16All over.
08:17Worse than I expected.
08:19In less than 24 hours, these men will turn into real beasts and die a terrible death.
08:24Mr. Mordecai, please save them.
08:26We'll kneel to you.
08:26You must have a way.
08:28There is only one last way.
08:29Go cut down this century-old sacred birch wood and build a coffin.
08:32Every household must give their most precious belongings to bury with a shamed spirit.
08:35When she buried, the entire town must kneel to send her off.
08:41Refuse, and you'll turn into beasts and die.
08:46That afternoon, everyone began to dig up Alara's grave.
08:49Once the sacred birch coffin was made, they carefully placed Alara's bones inside.
08:53Miraculously, as soon as the bones were placed in the coffin, the men regained their ability to speak.
08:57Thank you, Mr. Mordecai.
08:58Thank you so much.
09:01Damn sheep spirit.
09:02Can't even rest in peace.
09:04I'll never forgive her.
09:06But when it came time to place the burial offerings, everyone was reluctant.
09:10This is my family's heirloom jewel.
09:12Just give it to her.
09:12My gold ring is worth thousands of copper coins.
09:15Wasting it up...
09:15Father was the last to place his offerings.
09:17He listened to everyone's complaints.
09:18His eyes flickered.
09:19And he suddenly pulled me to his side.
09:21Go replace all the offerings in the coffin with stones.
09:24No!
09:26Something terrible will happen!
09:28Do as I say!
09:29Don't talk back!
09:52You meddling bitch!
09:53You think you're somebody!
09:55Mordecai had the villagers carry the coffin to the dug grave.
09:58He chose eight men with the smallest tumors to carry the coffin.
10:01Those who had visited the cave the fewest times.
10:03Only once because they were poor.
10:05The eight men hoisted the coffin and walked step by step toward the mountaintop.
10:10The rest of the town knelt in a line.
10:12One person, every three steps.
10:14From the foot of the mountain, all the way to the top.
10:16Mordecai pointed at me.
10:17You, come with me.
10:18The sheep spirit must be buried at the highest point of the mountain.
10:21You will kneel at the top as the last one to send her off.
10:23I followed Mordecai.
10:25Walking up step by step.
10:26Behind me came the women's vicious curses.
10:29Why should we kneel to this monster?
10:31Exactly.
10:32I'm a proper wife.
10:33If it weren't for Mr. Mordecai, I'd skin her alive.
10:36I listened to these words, and my heart turned cold, little by little.
10:40My mother was the innocent victim.
10:42She was already dead.
10:43Yet she was still being humiliated like this.
10:46The coffin was carried to the grave and set down.
10:48At once, white, spiritual smoke billowed out of the grave.
10:52The smoke swirled in the air and gradually took the shape of a giant sheep.
10:55The coffin bearers screamed in terror, dropped the coffin, and ran for their lives.
10:59Mordecai's face changed drastically.
11:01Quick, cover your noses.
11:02This is the sheep spirit's vengeful smoke.
11:04Breathe it in, and your souls will be destroyed.
11:06Before he finished speaking, several men had fallen to the ground.
11:09I watched helplessly as their bodies distorted.
11:12Limbs shortened.
11:14White fur grew in their skin.
11:16And they turned into real sheep.
11:19Don't move!
11:20Whoever moves dies!
11:24I ask you, who tampered with the burial offerings?
11:29Speak now, or the whole town will die here!
11:33Father suddenly pushed me forward.
11:35It was her!
11:36This little bitch swapped the offerings!
11:40You troublemaker!
11:41Give the things back now!
11:43Father rushed up and kicked me in the stomach.
11:45I curled up in pain, sweet blood filling my mouth.
11:49Mordecai stopped father and said gravely,
11:51This is not the time to blame.
11:52It's too late for that.
11:54There is only one last way.
11:56Use the blood of the sheep spirit's closest kin mixed into magical ink.
12:00And have all the men in town copy the church's prayer of redemption for 49 hours.
12:05Finally, use this blood ink and my master's Vagura blade to carve a monument for the sheep spirit.
12:11The Vajgra blade is my master's magical artifact.
12:14I will go fetch it now and return before the 49 hours are up.
12:18You must do exactly as I say, not a single mistake.
12:22Otherwise, not even Odin himself can save you.
12:25We will obey!
12:26That night, everyone gathered in the town hall.
12:29I fetched a porcelain bowl and poured red magical ink into it.
12:32Then I let my own blood drip into it, drop by drop.
12:35The ink grew thick and gave off a strange aura.
12:39The men of the town sat in a circle with paper and pens in front of each of them.
12:43They bowed their heads to copy the prayer, muttering under their breath.
12:46They were diligent at first, but before long someone started complaining.
12:50This monster is such a hassle.
12:52If I'd known it was this much trouble, I would have used her more times back then.
12:55I looked up and stared at them coldly.
12:58These people would never learn to respect anything.
13:01Just then, a clear bleat came from outside the door.
13:05Everyone stopped writing.
13:07What's that outside?
13:09Tobias the Butcher swallowed hard.
13:11Could it be the sheep spirit again?
13:13Who's going to check?
13:14No one dared to move.
13:15Finally, Father pushed me forward.
13:17You go!
13:18I walked to the door and slowly pushed it open.
13:21A girl stood outside.
13:24No, she was not human.
13:25She was a sheep spirit girl.
13:27She looked exactly like Ellara, yet even more stunning.
13:31She smiled at me, then looked into the town hall.
13:34The men saw her too.
13:35Their eyes glazed over at once, greedy expressions on their faces.
13:38Gods, I've never seen anyone so beautiful.
13:41The old sheep spirit was charming enough, but this one is even more.
13:45They laughed and weird, checking out the sheep spirit girl's body without shame.
13:48Since she delivered herself to us, it's a reward.
13:51A wave of disgust squashed over me.
13:53I spread my arms to block the sheep spirit girl.
13:55Don't you hurt her!
13:56Get out!
13:57With that, he charged out first.
13:59The other men followed, surrounding the sheep spirit girl.
14:02No one remembered to copy the prayer anymore.
14:03No one remembered Mordecai's warning.
14:05I lay on the ground, watching them drag the sheep spirit girl into the dark forest.
14:09I looked down at the blood ink in my hand, a cold smile slowly spreading across my lips.
14:13They would regret this.
14:15When dawn broke, the men trickled back to the town hall one by one.
14:18The sheep-shaped tumors on their bodies were all gone, their faces glowing with health, full of energy.
14:24I told you nothing would happen!
14:26Right!
14:27The illness is gone for good!
14:29That sheep spirit girl.
14:31Wow.
14:32Way better than my wife.
14:33They sat back down, and continued copying the prayer, grinning and joking.
14:37I sat in the corner, staring at them coldly.
14:40If you tell Mordecai what happened last night, I'll break your legs.
14:45I understand.
14:49I continued mixing my blood into the magical ink.
14:51Just then, Mordecai returned.
14:53He held an ancient short blade, carved with ancient Nordic runes, the Vajra Blade.
14:58As soon as Mordecai stepped into the town hall, he frowned.
15:01He looked at the men, his gaze growing more and more grave.
15:04How are you all fully recovered?
15:06And looking so well?
15:08The men looked at each other, not daring to speak.
15:11Mordecai had no choice but to look at me.
15:13What happened last night?
15:14I opened my mouth, about to speak.
15:16Father suddenly rushed over and kicked me in the chest.
15:19I spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell heavily to the ground.
15:22Tell Mr. Mordecai the truth.
15:24Father's voice was fierce.
15:25The word, truth, bitten out harshly.
15:27I understood what he meant.
15:28I clutched my chest and said weakly, nothing happened.
15:31Mordecai stared at me for a long time, full of doubt.
15:34But seeing that everyone had recovered, he asked, no more.
15:37He walked to the table, picked up the Vajra Blade, dipped it in the blood ink, and began
15:40carving words on the stone monument.
15:42Father leaned over and formed.
15:43Mr. Mordecai, does this mean we're safe for good now?
15:45Mordecai shook his head.
15:46This, only temporarily calms the sheep spirit's wrath.
15:49She is the daughter of the sheep spirit queen.
15:51If the queen finds out, she will come for revenge.
15:53Father's eyes flickered, and he said viciously.
15:55Then we'll go into the forest, and start a fire to burn the sheep spirit queen alive.
16:00Maybe we can catch more sheep spirit girls.
16:02Mordecai's face turned dark.
16:04Do that if you want to die.
16:06But next time I will not save you again.
16:08Father fell silent at last.
16:10Mordecai finished carving the monument, stood up, and said.
16:13Set this stone up at the sheep spirit's grave.
16:16From now on, you are forbidden to disturb her.
16:19Everyone sighed in relief, and went home.
16:21Mordecai suddenly turned around and looked at me.
16:23He walked up to me and asked softly,
16:25The sheep spirit, is your mother.
16:27Don't you want to avenge her?
16:28I froze.
16:29I thought of the torture, mother endured in the cave.
16:32Her festering skin, the despair in her eyes before she died.
16:35I nodded hard.
16:37Mordecai pulled a sheep spirit bone flute from his cloak, and pressed it into my hand.
16:41On the night of the full moon, go to the sheep spirit's grave, and play this flute nine times in
16:45a row.
16:46The sheep spirit queen will descend.
16:47Tell her the whole truth, and she will avenge your mother.
16:50With that, Mordecai turned and left.
16:52I clutched the bone flute, my heart racing.
16:56Revenge.
16:57I could finally avenge my mother.
16:59But half a month later, on the night I played the flute, for the sixth time, someone died in town.
17:04Tobias the butcher, was found dead, in his house.
17:07His head turned completely into a sheep's head, eyes wide open, his death, horrific.
17:12He was the man who had spent the most silver coins on Alara.
17:15One by one, the others followed.
17:16Gareth.
17:17Hugo the hunchback.
17:18Everyone who died, was a man who had gone out to violate the sheep spirit girl while copying the prayer.
17:22Panic, the sweat over the entire town again.
17:24The women wailed, saying the sheep spirit had returned for revenge.
17:27Father refused to believe it.
17:28He gathered all the men, grabbed a bucket of black wolf blood, and charged up the mountain.
17:33They splashed the black wolf blood on the sheep spirit's monument, dug up the grave, and pulled out Alara's bones.
17:39Father raised a wooden stick, and slammed it into the bones again, and again.
17:43Stop haunting us.
17:44Stop hurting people.
17:45The other men joined in, kicking and smashing the bones for a full day and night.
17:50The next day, no one else died in town.
17:52The villagers praised father for his courage.
17:55Eli is amazing.
17:56Right.
17:57You have to be tough with monsters like this.
18:00I stood outside the crowd, watching everything quietly.
18:03When midnight came, I climbed the mountain again.
18:06The moon was round and bright, like a cold eye staring down at the whole town.
18:10I sat in front of my mother's grave, and took out the bone flute.
18:14The flute sound echoed through the night, clear, and mournful.
18:18Soon, the sheep spirit queen would come.
18:20Before the sheep spirit queen descended, a wandering doctor came to town.
18:24He wore a tattered robe, carried a medicine box, and set up a clinic at the village entrance.
18:28The villagers gathered around him to chat.
18:30Doctor, where are you from?
18:32I travel to heal the sick where there is need I go.
18:34The doctor smiled and said,
18:36Did your town suffer from a strange plague not long ago?
18:38The villagers looked at each other, and chatted about the sheep spirit.
18:42Yes, it was terrifying.
18:44So many people grew sheep-shaped tumors.
18:46But we fixed it.
18:47We smashed the sheep spirit's bones to pieces.
18:50The doctor listened, his eyes growing deep.
18:52He said nothing, only nodded gently.
18:55That night, I went to the mountaintop again.
18:57I sat in front of my mother's grave, and did not play the flute.
19:00I just sat, quietly, staring at the town lit up by firelight in the distance.
19:05Don't play.
19:05A voice, came from behind me.
19:08I turned around, and saw the wandering doctor, standing behind me.
19:11He looked at me, his eyes complicated.
19:13If you keep playing, your mother will never find rest.
19:16I sneered.
19:17What if she can never find rest?
19:19She endured so much pain.
19:21Better this way let her avenge herself, and sate her hatred.
19:23The doctor froze.
19:25Then his eyes suddenly turned red.
19:26Your mother has suffered so much.
19:28I only wish she could rest in peace, and no longer be trapped in the vortex of revenge.
19:33His voice cracked.
19:34I stared at him and snapped.
19:36Who are you really?
19:37The doctor took a deep breath, and said slowly.
19:40I am your mother's father.
19:42I froze, all over.
19:44Unable to believe it.
19:45Impossible.
19:47Mother's mother is the sheep spirit queen, how could you be human?
19:49The doctor shook his head.
19:51The sheep spirit queen is your mother's mother, your grandmother.
19:53He slowly told the story, of the long buried past.
19:5730 years ago, he had fallen off a cliff while gathering herbs in the mountains, and was saved
20:01by the sheep spirit queen.
20:02The queen nursed him back to her, and they fell in love, giving birth to my mother, Elara.
20:07But when the sheep spirit clan found out, grandmother had forced them out of the forest
20:10to protect them.
20:11On the way, he got separated from Elara, and never found her again.
20:15I failed your grandmother.
20:16And I failed your mother, even more.
20:19The doctor cried.
20:20I've been searching for you all these years, trying to make up for my mistakes.
20:23He grabbed my hand and said urgently, if you play the flute now, and summon the sheep
20:28spirit clan, that sorcerer who gave you the flute will wipe them all out.
20:31Mordecai wants the sheep spirit's spirit cause.
20:33I was completely stunned.
20:35But he's helping me get revenge.
20:36He's lying to you.
20:38The doctor shouted in agitation.
20:40He used magical ink, and the Vajra blade to carve the monument to seal the sheep spirit's
20:43soul.
20:44He mixed your blood too, he wants your life as well.
20:46My mind went blank.
20:48It had all, been, a lie.
20:49Grandfather took my hand and said urgently.
20:51I drugged the entire town.
20:53Now is our chance, let's run.
20:54Go to the sheep spirit clan's territory, that's the only safe place.
20:58I couldn't protect your mother, but I will never let you be hurt again.
21:01I nodded.
21:02But grandfather did not take me away at once.
21:04He walked to mother's grave and started digging.
21:07At the very least, he would take her bones away, and give her a proper resting place.
21:11He had just dug up the grave, when messy footsteps came from the distance.
21:15The men of the town, rushed over with torches, surrounding us.
21:18I knew this old man was up to no good.
21:21He's trying to steal the sheep spirit's body.
21:23He's definitely up to no good.
21:24Good thing we pretended to be asleep to trick him.
21:27Father pointed at me and cursed viciously.
21:29And this little bitch, she colluded with an outsider.
21:32The men rushed up, tied me and grandfather together, and bound us to the sheep spirit's coffin.
21:37They piled dry hay around us.
21:39Burn them alive.
21:40Yes, burn these two monsters.
21:42Burn father shouted.
21:43You are committing an unforgivable sin.
21:45You will bear the curse of the spirit clan.
21:47The men laughed wildly.
21:49Curse?
21:49We'll kill you first.
21:51Father held up a torch, about to light the hay.
21:53Suddenly, he stopped.
21:55He looked at me, a greedy glint in his eyes.
21:58Wait, let her go.
21:59She can earn money for me like the sheep spirit.
22:01And all of you can have fun too.
22:03The men's eyes lit up at once.
22:05Right.
22:05This girl is so lovely, can't waste her.
22:08Then, let's.
22:09They untied me from the coffin, and advanced toward me with malicious intent.
22:13Grandfather shouted.
22:15Layla, run.
22:16Just then, father let out a piercing scream.
22:19A giant sheep's head suddenly grew from either side of his head.
22:22One by one, the other men screamed too.
22:25Terrifying sheep's heads sprouted from both sides of all their heads.
22:28Ah, what is this?
22:30My head, it hurts so much.
22:32The men forgot about me, clutching their heads and running home, desperate to find a cure.
22:37Grandfather shouted at me.
22:38Quick, untie me.
22:39Let's go.
22:40I looked at him, and did not move.
22:42I turned around, and walked down the mountain alone.
22:45At the foot of the mountain, Mordecai stood there waiting for me quietly.
22:49He looked at me, a smile curving his lips.
22:51Why aren't you playing the flute?
22:52I looked up at the full moon above.
22:54Tonight would be the ninth time playing it.
22:56The men of the town were running wild through the village, with sheep's heads on their shoulders.
23:28I said coldly.
23:30I smiled.
23:31I smiled.
23:32Yes, I did.
23:33Grandfather and Mordecai both froze.
23:35I spoke slowly.
23:37I am the daughter of a sheep spirit, born with a spirit core.
23:40From the moment mother was locked in a cave, I felt all her pain.
23:43After she died, I inherited all her memories.
23:46I will make everyone who killed her pay the worst price.
23:49Mordecai's face changed drastically.
23:50Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?
23:52You can't kill me.
23:54I clapped my hand gently.
23:55From all directions of the forest, countless sheep spirit girls stepped out.
24:01Mordecai shouted in terror.
24:02This is impossible.
24:03I smiled and said, after you reburied mother's bones, I used my spirit core to forge a soul
24:07for every single bone.
24:09Every bone can become a sheep spirit.
24:11Mordecai's face turned pale.
24:12Impossible.
24:13I sealed her with the Vajra blade and blood ink.
24:15I sneered.
24:16On the night they copied the prayer, they never listened to you.
24:18The sheep spirit that appeared outside the door was just an illusion I made.
24:21They all rushed out to satisfy their lust.
24:23So no one knew that what I mixed into the magical ink was not my blood at all.
24:26It was black wolf blood.
24:27Black wolf blood paired with the Vajra blade.
24:29Broke your seal perfectly.
24:31Mordecai panicked completely.
24:32Just then, grandfather suddenly rushed forward and drove a silver sword straight through Mordecai's
24:37chest.
24:37Mordecai fell to the ground and took his last breath, filled with endless resentment.
24:41Grandfather threw the silver sword aside, turned to me and said, Layla, let's leave
24:44this place.
24:45He looked at the sheep spirit girls.
24:46His eyes red again.
24:48I never thought my daughter could live on like this.
24:50I nodded.
24:50Grandfather led me and mother's spirit toward the edge of town.
24:53As we left, he suddenly stopped and pulled a fire starter from his cloak.
24:56Not a single one of these people can live.
24:59He lit the haystack at the village entrance.
25:01The fire spread quickly, engulfing the entire town in flames.
25:04I heard father screaming my name in the fire, his voice full of despair.
25:08Layla, save me, save me.
25:10I did not look back.
25:12I followed grandfather, walking forward without turning my head.
25:15As we walked, grandfather suddenly stopped.
25:17He clutched his head, his face turning terrible.
25:20Saw a sheep's head slowly growing from either side of his head.
25:23Grandfather looked at me, in disbelief.
25:25How could this be?
25:26I looked at him expressionlessly.
25:28Everyone who hurt my mother, deserves to die.
25:30Grandfather shook his head frantically.
25:32I'm your grandfather.
25:33I never hurt your mother.
25:33I've been helping you.
25:34I sneered.
25:35Father never knew there were sheep spirits in the forest, until someone told him.
25:38Mordecai never knew about the sheep spirit's spirit cause, until someone told him.
25:42That someone was you, wasn't it?
25:45Grandfather froze completely.
25:46I went on.
25:47You forget I inherited mother's memories.
25:49Mother wasn't abducted by father after getting separated from you.
25:52I saw it with my own eyes.
25:53You tricked her into waiting for you in place, and the one who came, was father.
25:57Mother saw you.
25:58You hid in the dark, and watched her be taken away.
26:00Grandfather's face turned as white as paper.
26:02He fell to his knees, holding his head and weeping bitterly.
26:06I know I was wrong.
26:07I will make it up to you.
26:08I shook my head.
26:09It's too late.
26:10The sheep's heads on his body grew larger and larger, until they crushed him completely.
26:14He made no more sound.
26:15I followed mother's spirit back to the sheep spirit clan.
26:18Grandmother was very old.
26:19At the moment she saw mother, her eyes lit up.
26:21She trembled, and hugged mother, crying like a child.
26:25My daughter, you're finally home.
26:27Mother cried too, holding grandmother tightly, like a little girl who had suffered endless
26:31wrongs.
26:32I stood to the side, watching the scene quietly.
26:34Grandmother looked at me, her eyes gentle.
26:37Child, you've suffered all these years.
26:39She stroked my head softly.
26:41From now on, you will live here, and no one will ever hurt you again.
26:45I nodded.
26:46From that day on, I settled in the sheep spirit clan.
26:49Mother took grandmother's place, and became the new sheep spirit queen.
26:53She led the sheep spirit clan, guarding this ancient Nordic forest.
26:56The town of Hollow's End was reduced to ruins.
26:59Everyone who had hurt mother perished in the fire.
27:01I had avenged my mother completely.
27:03As for me, I think I'll never be bored again.
