Short filmTranscript
00:00In the name of the fated mate, I offer my soul as sacrifice. I will sacrifice to save my beloved!
00:09A silver, ritual circle flares to life beneath my feet.
00:13I drive my hand into my own chest. My wolf, ember, lets out one last one.
00:19The source of my life and power is pulled out inch by inch, pulsing as it sinks into my dying
00:24brother, Kalen, the center of the altar.
00:27Five years earlier.
00:29Lyra saved your life. How could you do this to her?
00:34Kale, it wasn't me. Lyra burned herself. She framed me. Do you not trust me? I'm your fated-
00:39Shut up! You don't get to say that word. Take her out. Banish her to the wasteland.
00:46Before I can finish, two wolf guards haul me out of the hall. No one hears my screams.
00:51Lyra curls into Kalen's arms, sobbing, covering the arm she burned herself.
00:57My wolf childhood curse burned away my wolf floor. And Lyra shared her life force with me through a blood
01:04-rafting ceremony.
01:05From that day on, she became the pack's blessed savior. And I became the parasite in her death.
01:10The moment I am thrown out the door, dozens of rogue wolves pour into the hall from the shadows.
01:15Chaos erupting everywhere. I am tossed aside on the stone steps outside. No one cares if I live or die.
01:21I lift my eyes. A rogue wolf raises a silver poison sword, aiming straight for my heart.
01:26That he'll save me!
01:29But Kalen, the children, Lyra in his arms, fighting dozens of wolves. He can't reach me.
01:34Tears stream down my face. I close my eyes, waiting to die.
01:38Lone, after the word barely reads his mouth, a massive force slams into me, sending me flying.
01:51I throw myself into the pool of blood, pulling him into my arms, screaming like I've lost my mind.
01:56He looks at me, using his last breath to speak.
01:59You've always been such a pain. Your whole life. I don't understand why my wolf chose you.
02:06Next life. I just want Lyra.
02:09Only Lyra.
02:11Tears dropping one by one onto his lifeless face.
02:14Yeah, I was never meant to exist.
02:16I stagger to my feet, eyes on the silver sword still in his chest.
02:23The sword slides out of his chest slowly, hovering in midair.
02:26The next second, I turn my hand. The sword plunges straight through my heart.
02:30I am slammed to the ground, my knees hitting the floor hard.
02:40Lyra gave you half her life, and this is how you trained her?
02:44That voice. I jerk my head up, seeing Kalem standing right in front of me, alive and well.
02:49He is still alive. I look around like crazy. I died, and now, I am back today.
02:54Today is the day Lyra burns herself, and blames it on me. Nothing has fallen apart yet. There is still
02:59time.
03:00Lyra covers the red mark on her arm, her eyes glistening with tears.
03:03Don't blame her, Sam. She didn't mean it.
03:06This time, I don't scream or explain. I stand up and walk into the hall. The bowl of wolfsbane water
03:11is steaming.
03:12I pick up that bowl of scalding wolfsbane water, then pour it straight over my right arm. The whole hall
03:17falls dead silent.
03:18The expression on Lyra's face freezes. Kalem's eyes go wide. He moves toward me before he can stop himself and
03:24grabs my scalded raw arm.
03:25What the hell are you doing?
03:27The second his fingers touch my skin, a roaring howl tears through the bond between us.
03:32Kale, don't be angry. It's all my fault. Just please stay alive.
03:38But just like before, he shoves me away with disgust. It is okay, Kalem. In this life, I'll give you
03:44what you want.
03:48Word spreads through the Blackwood Pack. I am leaving the stronghold.
03:51I'm renouncing my claim as Alpha heir. Starting today, I'll move to the old house in the Northern Territory.
03:57The hall erupts in uproar. Lyra keeps her head down, smiling as she watches.
04:03Who let you decide this?
04:05Alpha, I need to rest my injuries. I don't look up at him. I just walk straight into my room,
04:10but I didn't expect him to follow me in.
04:13Rest? Or is it that you can't face Lyra, the one who saved your life?
04:17He corners me at the edge of the bed, grips my chin, and tilts my head up to meet his
04:21eyes.
04:22You think giving up your claim makes it even?
04:25The moment our skin touches, we both freeze. Neither of us expects the bond to surge like this.
04:30I feel my wolf, Ember, shivering with excitement. She is calling him. His wolf, Fenrir. Answers.
04:39She's my mate. I'll mark her. She's your sister. This is a curse.
04:46No, she's not. She's our fated mate. I can smell it.
04:51Fenrir tears through his reason, desperate to reach me, to mark me. In the space between our minds, Ember and
04:57Fenrir circle each other.
04:58Nuzzling, whining, pulling closer. Ember whines inside me.
05:02Ember, no.
05:03I plead with her in my mind. He's ours.
05:06He has always been ours. She won't listen to me. The longing in my soul blazes like fire, consuming my
05:11sanity.
05:12Calum's hands shake as he tries to push me away. Yet Fenrir takes control and pins me to the bed.
05:18His hot breath sweeps across my neck, right where the mate mark belongs.
05:22You bitch. What have you done to me?
05:24My whole body trembles. Calium, no. We can't.
05:29Shut up.
05:30I arch my back, digging my nails into his back.
05:33Please, stop.
05:35He leans in, pressing his lips to the curve of my ear.
05:40I hate you.
05:42Ember and Fenrir entwine deep in our souls, letting out a single shared howl.
05:47He marks me.
05:51When I wake up, Calum is already gone. The mark on my neck still burns.
05:55I touch the searing mark and Ember hums contentedly inside me.
05:59I can't help but feel bitter.
06:00That evening, Elowen, I heard you're still hurt.
06:03I made this tonic myself.
06:05But a memory flashes through my mind.
06:07In my past life, I drank this very bowl, mixed with deadly wolfbane.
06:12Three days later, my wolf heart withered completely.
06:15Everyone thought it was just my weak constitution.
06:19Thank you, Lyra.
06:20I take the bowl, sniff it.
06:22But, I want to drink it with you.
06:24Like when we were kids.
06:28Here, this one's for you.
06:31Elowen, I don't need-
06:32What's wrong?
06:33You made it yourself.
06:35Not gonna drink it?
06:36Calum storms it, face dark.
06:38He doesn't even look at Lyra.
06:41Calum!
06:44What's the big deal?
06:46Lyra goes pale, but says nothing.
06:48She mumbles an excuse and rushes out, before I can speak.
06:51Alpha!
06:52Bad news!
06:53Massive rogue wolf attack at the northern border.
06:55I block his path.
06:56You can't go.
06:58Move.
06:58But you drank-
06:59I said move!
07:01He shoves me aside, without another glance.
07:04He storms down the hall.
07:06Straight at night, news arrives from the battlefield.
07:09The alpha was mad at the left.
07:11Unable to tell friends and hope.
07:13Several of his own guards are badly injured.
07:15The alpha's gone feral!
07:16He's attacking our own!
07:17The wolf pain has taken hold.
07:19The mark on my neck blazes.
07:21Tearing pain ripping through my soul.
07:22Ember hears his wolf crying in agony.
07:24She snarls inside me.
07:26Our mate is dying!
07:33The alpha is poisoned with wolf food!
07:36His wolf is dying!
07:37No hope.
07:39His body rejects all outside energy.
07:41No antidote can reach him.
07:43How could this happen?
07:44He was fine just a moment ago.
07:45I dash from my room to the altar, my heart hammering.
07:48The mark on my neck burns fiercely.
07:50Save him!
07:51Please save him!
07:56I pull his head tightly into my arms.
07:58No!
07:59I refuse to believe it!
08:01Why, even with a second chance, can I still not save you?
08:04No, Kale.
08:06You won't die.
08:07I won't let you die.
08:08In the past life, you died in my place.
08:11This life, I would turn my life to you.
08:13Letting you have your happy ending with Lyra.
08:15Moonlight pours through the stone pillars.
08:17Silver magic circle glows beneath my feet.
08:20In the name of the fated mate, with my soul as the offering, I will sacrifice myself to save my
08:28beloved!
08:31My wolf core is pulled out inch by inch, pulsing with silver light.
08:35Never lets out a fort wrench in high and rushes toward his wolf.
08:38I collapse weakly to the ground, unable to hold myself up, staring at him so close yet out of reach.
08:44Paleness drains from his face.
08:45Finally he opens his eyes.
08:47His eyes glow gold.
08:48He inherits my power and my memories.
08:50He sees everything.
08:52The childhood curse, wasn't an accident.
08:54Lyra poisoned my food.
08:55He sees the truth about the blood bonding ritual.
08:58Lyra never gave me her life for it.
09:00She just had the witch lock my wolf heart in silver chains.
09:03Then told the whole pack I saved.
09:05He sees the coming of age ceremony.
09:07I stood at the edge of the crowd, watching him dance with Lyra.
09:11Tears falling one by one.
09:12He sees it all.
09:13Every time he hit me, yelled at me, or humiliated me.
09:16I gritted my teeth, turned away, and cried alone until dawn.
09:20He sees that night in my past life.
09:22Me kneeling beside his body.
09:23Pulling out the silver sword.
09:24Stabbing my own heart.
09:26He finally understands everything.
09:28Including, that I'm never his sister.
09:30The magic circle fades.
09:31He stumbles toward me.
09:32Pulls me from the ground into his arms.
09:34Holding me so tight.
09:35I love it.
09:36I'm sorry.
09:37I'm so sorry.
09:38He cries, confessing his pain.
09:41You would never.
09:42You would never like.
09:44In this life, you finally get what you want.
09:53He clutches my cold body, throws his head back, and unleashes a heart-shattering wolf howl.
09:58The rogue alpha energy inside him detonates by the nuclear blast.
10:02Everyone drops to their knees, trembling in fear.
10:16The rogue alpha energy inside him detonates by the nuclear blast.
10:17Elwynn, wake up!
10:19I command you in the name of the alpha!
10:21Open your eyes!
10:23The heartbreaking scream tears through me, making my soul ache.
10:26But haven't I already ripped out my wolf heart and offered it as a sacrifice?
10:30I jerk my eyes open and find I haven't fallen into hell.
10:34Instead, I am trapped in a dark, empty mental space.
10:37Somehow, I am a ghost now, trapped inside Kalem's body.
10:41The one who once hated me to his core is now kneeling before my corpse, crying his heart out.
10:46Kale, don't be sad.
10:48She chose to sacrifice herself.
10:51It was her own choice.
10:53Get lost!
10:53You make me sick!
10:55Her eyes wide with disbelief.
10:57Kale, you pushed me away?
10:59For her?
11:00The curse she suffered ten years ago wasn't an accident.
11:04Lyra, you poisoned her.
11:06You chained Elwynn's wolf heart in silver.
11:08You stole her life.
11:10Lied to the whole pack.
11:11Did you really think I'd never find out?
11:13Lyra's smile dies, her face drained of color.
11:16Deep inside his mind, I watch this long overdue reckoning with cold eyes.
11:20Kalem lunges forward and slaps Lyra so hard she flips over.
11:26Kale, stop, please.
11:29No, that wasn't me!
11:31How do you know?
11:32What are you talking about, Kale?
11:34She has no idea that right now, inside Kalem's mind,
11:37memories of her torturing and taking my place are flashing wildly.
11:41Alpha, stop it!
11:42You're gonna kill her!
11:43Oh my god!
11:45The Alpha's lost it!
11:47That's the little sister he's always loved the most!
11:49They surge forward, trying to restrain the out-of-control Kalem.
11:52Get back!
11:53A wolf heart attack in his body, sending all the blocking guards flying backwards.
11:57He stunts down hard on Lyra's broken arm.
11:59In three days, Lyra will stand trial.
12:06High above the blackwood cracks, Greypaw, wild thunder rips through the sky,
12:10nearly tearing the stronghold apart.
12:12Lyra screams and tries to run, but Kalem yanks her back hard,
12:17with dark iron chains coated in deadly silver poison.
12:20He pins her to the sacred altar, the silver burns, making her convulse violently in agony.
12:25All the blackwood wolves kneel on the ground, trembling in fear.
12:28Deep inside Kalem's mind, I watch it all with cold eyes.
12:31In my past life, it happened here, on this very altar.
12:34He coldly banished me over a single word from Lyra,
12:37but now his fingers clutching the chains shake violently.
12:40Kael, look at me! I'm your most beloved little sister!
12:45Little sister? You think you deserve this?
12:49I was a damn fool back then!
12:51He spins around, and the Alpha's absolute authority thunders.
12:56Bring in the pack witch!
12:57He plans to start the soul projection, then the whole pack will see the truth.
13:01The Holy Maiden they've worshipped for years is nothing but a rotten fraud.
13:05The words barely leave his mouth, the great hall doors slam open.
13:09When Lyra sees the witch stepping forward, holding a memory orb ablaze with blood-red flames,
13:14all hope drains for him. She knows that once those memories are forced into the minds of the whole pack,
13:19she'll die. And the decade-long conspiracy she has hidden, everyone will see it.
13:28As the pack witch's cold spell falls, the blood-red orb explodes in mid-air.
13:32Lyra's deepest memories are forced to project across the great hall.
13:36Everyone's mind link is instantly flooded by this tidal wave of memories.
13:40Each scene plays out in sharp detail, plunging the entire stronghold into complete silence.
13:45In the memory, a young Lyra wears a cruel expression. With her own hands,
13:49she pours deadly wolfbane into my food. While I writhe in agony, she uses stolen dark magic to seal
13:55my wolf heart with silver chains. Then she wipes the blood from her hands and fakes a song,
13:59called Blood Bonding Ritual. Just like that, she transforms herself into my supposed savior.
14:04Watching the pack members who used to despise me, shaking with anger,
14:08I can only feel the irony. This is the pure, holy maiden you've all worshipped.
14:13Lyra. You freaking lyra!
14:17Kalen's eyes blaze blood-red. Like a crazed beast, he reaches out with his wolf claws and clamps down
14:22on Lyra's neck. But just when the pack expects Lyra to be ripped apart, the fake fear in her eyes
14:27suddenly vanishes. She lowers her head, and from her throat comes a chilling, insane little laugh.
14:46You're still doomed to live in endless hell!
14:51That sharp, horrifying laugh rips through the dead silence of the hall. Nailed to the altar,
14:56Lyra knows she is not going to survive. She tears off her fake mask and feet weak.
15:03You think I'm the culprit? No! The one who really drove Elwen to her death is you! You,
15:11this high and mighty alpha! You're the one who hid her, yelled at her, and humiliated her!
15:16You're the one who broke her pride and forced her to rip out her wolf heart! You deserve to die
15:24the most,
15:25you sick monster! Inside Kalen's mind, I observe it all with unfeeling cold eyes. As Lyra's curses
15:32pour down, I feel Kalen's soul defenses shatter instantly. He coughs up blood and agonies,
15:37his tall body trembling violently. Even his hand around Lyra's neck goes limp and releases her.
15:42Kalen sinks into hopeless despair, totally unguarded. Just then, lying limp on the ground,
15:47Lyra's eyes flare with a flash of suiciders. All or nothing matters.
15:54Then let's die together! Suddenly, a blinding black light erupts from the altar. The dark magic hidden
16:01under Lyra's fingernails explodes. She springs up like a wild feast. She plunges a silver dagger coated
16:07with deadly poison spray at Kalen's throat. The silver blade comes within millimeters of his neck.
16:12He closes his eyes for his skin. It is as if he is willing to accept death as his punishment.
16:20The kneeling pack members come, scrambling to stop Lyra. Inside his mind, I watch the dagger come
16:26at him with cold attachment. Not a single ripple stirs in my heart. Kalen, open your eyes and see.
16:32This is the good little sister you've protected for two lifetimes. The one you pampered,
16:36even at the cost of vanishing me. But just as the poison blade is about to pierce the throat,
16:41my wolf ember lets out a deafening roar that shapes the heavens.
16:50Drip, the silver poison dagger bites into flesh with a dull, sickening sound.
16:55The madness in Lyra's eyes hasn't yet faded before endless fear swallows it whole. Because Kalen doesn't
17:01flinch, not even a twitch of his brow. Amid the searing pain of poison eating through his flesh,
17:06he lifts his hands with a blank expression, like lightning. He snaps it around Lyra's neck.
17:11A crack, a sharp, final crack of bone echoes through the great hall. Lyra's scream cuts it
17:16instantly, like a piece of trash. Kalen tosses her expressionless, straight into the blazing,
17:21sacred fire at the center of the altar. Scorching silver-white flames engulf her instantly.
17:25She writhes in agony, twisting and melting in the fire, and finally turns into a foul
17:30whisk of black smoke. I stare at the pile of ashes and let out a long deep breath, deep inside
17:35his
17:36mind. This demon who ruined my life twice, and pushed me into an endless abyss, is finally gone,
17:41completely erased from this world. But before I can even look away, Kalen, who is barely holding on,
17:46suddenly spits up a mouthful of blood. His tall body crashes to his knees beside the ashes.
17:51He knows the real punishment is only just beginning.
17:59Alpha, this is our fault!
18:00Cries roar like a tidal wave. The whole Blackwood pack drops to their knees. The elders and pack
18:05members who once despised me slam their heads against the cold floor. Kalen doesn't even glance
18:10at them. He moves like a soulless corpse. His steps are heavy and staggering as he walks out.
18:15Alpha, Alpha, Alpha!
18:18A few ruling elders rush to block him.
18:20Alpha, get lost!
18:21With an almost hopeless roar, the last of Kalen's Alpha power erupts, blasting the elders backward.
18:27His blood-red wolf eyes burn with the dead silence of destruction.
18:31One more word. You die!
18:35Everyone freezes in an instant tense silence. No one dares to stop him. He staggers into the center of
18:41the empty, dead silent inner hall. Suddenly, the ultimate backlash from his shattered mate Bond hits him.
18:46It strikes like a thousand arrows. His sanity shreds in an instant.
18:50Blue, Kalen coughs up a huge amount of black blood. His tall body goes limp and crashes to his knees
18:56like a ragdoll. He doesn't even grunt. Everything goes black. He loses consciousness completely.
19:01The moment he blacks out, his giant wolf, Fenrir, lets out a pained, terrified whimper in the darkness.
19:10That night, the inner hall of the stronghold is silent, like a grave. Kalen lies in a painful coma
19:15from the soul backlash. His tall body twitches violently on the bed. Cold sweat soaks him from
19:20head to toe. Deep inside his soul, a brutal war erupts. I stand as a ghost in the darkness and
19:26clearly see two giant wolves. One is Kalen's wolf spirit, Fenrir. The beast is now drenched in blood.
19:31His front paws claw at the ground in pain. He lets out pitiful whimpers into the darkness. Above him,
19:37my wolf spirit Ember who should have died with me, perches proudly on a cliff in the mine space.
19:42After absorbing the life force Kalen sacrificed, his wolf eyes are cold, like a god.
19:49Fenrir tries to move closer, wagging his tail. He seems to beg forgiveness for his host,
19:54instinctively drawn toward his fated mate. Ember's eyes explode and look around the country. Ember
20:00launches like a bolt of golden lightning. One claw rips Fenrir's shoulder open. Fenrir screams in pain
20:06and collapses to the ground. Elwyn! Please come back! Come back!
20:11In the real world, the unconscious Kalen sheds a single tear from the corner of his eye.
20:26The two giant wolves inside him keep tearing at each other, but his mind on the edge of collapse
20:32suddenly snaps awake. I can smell you! You're right here! You didn't leave me, did you?
20:38After fully merging with my wolf heart, he realizes he can faintly sense what remains of my consciousness.
20:43His eyes fly open. He falls off the bed, scrambling and crawling. He screams like a
20:48madman into the empty room, crying his heart out. Right now, I drift like a cold mist, standing
20:56silently in the darkest corner of his soul, watching him. Of course I can speak. My mind is completely
21:01intact. If I want, my voice can shatter his skull from inside his head, but I just watch.
21:09Answer me! Curse me! Please! Just one word! He digs his nails into the cracks in the stone,
21:17his whole body shaking with sobs. No!
21:23Calem grits his teeth, forcing himself to take the poison-coated silver blade and slash open his own
21:29right arm. He convulses violently from the pain, sweat raining down onto the ground. Werewolves are
21:39born afraid of silver, especially this deadly, ultra-pure silver poison. But, this arrogant supreme
21:44alpha stares at his own bloody, mangled right arm and lets out a twisted, hopeless laugh.
21:51Does it hurt, Elwyn?
21:55So this is how much it hurt you back then? Every bit of pain you suffered,
22:00I repay myself ten times, a hundred times! Just don't leave me, just say one word! Please!
22:06Back when silver poison tortured me and my wolf heart shattered, he was holding Lyra, fussing over
22:11her, treating me like the pack's disgrace. Calem goes completely insane. He raises the silver blade high,
22:18aiming it at his own heart. You won't come out? Fine, then I'll rip this heart out and give it
22:23back
22:24to you! No, Alpha! No, Alpha! Get out of my way! Don't stop me! The silver blade tears through the
22:32steel shields. The horse sends the guards flying, coughing up blood. Calem lores, eyes blood red,
22:37like a madman driven to the edge.
22:43Alpha, stop! Are you trying to destroy the whole pack? The elders stare at Calem, covered in blood,
22:50trying to stab himself with the silver blade. Fear makes them all drop to their knees. Everyone
22:54thinks he has completely lost his mind. Then the high priest, trembling, holds out a leather scroll
23:00and kneels in the pool of blood. Alpha, look at this! Calem throws the silver blade aside,
23:05and snatches that ancient scroll. Deep inside Calem's mind, I focus and look too. On the torn,
23:11weathered leather, is an ancient, forbidden werewolf legend. Deep in the rogue wasteland,
23:16a place of killing theft, lies a sacred site sealed by the moon goddess herself, the moonwell.
23:22If one can pass the three trials of the oracle, even a shattered wolf heart can be restored and
23:29brought back to life. The high priest's voice shakes. Rogue wasteland, moonwell. Calem stares at the
23:34words, his whole body trembling violently with pure overwhelming joy. It is as if he has grasped
23:39the final lifeline before drowning. He laughs like a madman, yet he has no idea. On that wasteland,
23:44tens of thousands of hungry rogue wolves wait. They are ready to tear a butt with the supreme alpha
23:49walking straight. Tomorrow, I'm going to the moonwell. The words hit like a thunderbolt,
23:58and the entire alpha hall falls into dead silence. On the platform, Calem's face is pale,
24:02but his resolve is absolute. He reaches up and removes the alpha bone ring,
24:07the symbol of the pack's highest authority. He shows no hesitation and tosses it straight to the
24:11beta he trusts most. Alpha! Have you lost your mind? For a dead woman, you're really going to
24:19abandon the whole pack? Beta kneels on the ground, begging. Shut up! Calem's bloodshot
24:24golden eyes sweep over the crowd, cold and merciless. Yet, the moment he steps into the rogue wasteland,
24:29the gates of hell swing open. No rules here, only killing.
24:33Roar! Look who just showed up! Along with bone, chilling laughter, countless pairs of blood-red
24:40wolf cries ignite in the darkness. Hundreds of massive rogue wolves, reeking of rot,
24:45surge in like a tidal wave from all directions. Get back!
24:48Calem unleashes a roar of pure despair. A rogue wolf fights clean through his thigh and tears off a
24:54chunk of flesh. Another huge wolf breaks its claws across his chest, leaving gashes so deep the bone
24:59shows. Blood poured out like crazy. For Elowen, I will not! At that moment,
25:04Calem goes completely preserved, breaking through the siege of hundreds of savage wolves. But the three
25:09oracle trials of the Neuron are 10,000 times more terror-harring than the savage wolves on the
25:14face. A huge wolf sees its chance, stepping over the scattered bodies and lunging, claws aimed straight
25:23at Calem's throat. By now, Calem is completely drained. He doesn't even have the strength to lift
25:28his heavy eyelids. The deadly wolf claw hovers just a centimeter from his carotid artery, and the rogue
25:34wolves on the wasteland start letting out triumphant snarls. Alpha or not, he's just dead meat. But
25:41right at this life, or death moment, Roar, a female wolf's roer suddenly explodes from a deep
25:46and cried to his throat. It is me. To be exact, it is Ember, the giant wolf nested deep within
25:52his
25:52soul. Facing the taunts of these lowly rogue wolves, Ember's pride snaps. In an instant, she takes control
25:59of Calem's battered body. Bam! Calem's eyes instantly blaze with blinding golden light,
26:04with a single backhand, he slams the huge wolf into the mirror, smashing it into a pulp. Blood
26:08sprays everywhere. The rogue wolves around in panic. Tails tucked, scattering in all directions.
26:14The danger passes and Ember's consciousness fades back into hiding. Calem collapses to his knees in
26:19the thick, sticky blood, gasping for air as if he has nothing left. However, he ignores his wounds,
26:24shaking. He lifts a hand to the side of his neck, where the mate-bond mark with his faded mate
26:29blazes.
26:31Elevin, it's you. You're here, right?
26:34Hot tears spill from his eyes. You're still here. You've finally answered. Please stay.
26:44At the edge of the rogue wasteland, ancient mist rolls in like a tide. The first trial of the
26:49moonwell, the illusion forest, begins. The mist here can tear one's soul apart. Ancient illusions
26:54pull Calem, and instantly, smack, a sharp, crisp slap echoes through the dead. Silent forest,
27:00inside the illusion, his past self glares coldly. For a single lie from Lyra, he slaps me hard,
27:05sending me crashing to the ground. Then the scene shifts. He sits high above, passing judgment,
27:10banishing me from the pack, while my wolf heart shatters, and my body is covered in blood.
27:14Every wrong he committed against me in his past life now tears at his mind.
27:18I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. My elf.
27:22As an alpha, his mental power could easily crush these low-level illusions. But Calem doesn't resist at
27:28all. He kneels before the visions, face pale as death. Also where wolf's mind breaks. They become a
27:33mindless raging beast forever. Yet, he opens his arms wide, letting the pain consume him. He
27:38rides and rolls on the ground, caught in the agony of the illusion. This is only the first trial,
27:43and he is already on the edge of breaking, just as his mental defenses are about to collapse
27:48completely. The knee inside the illusion suddenly turns her head. Those cold, lifeless eyes lock onto him.
27:57No! Please! Put the sword down! Don't stab yourself!
28:02Inside the illusion forest, Calem screams his heart out at Empty Space. In the vision,
28:06my past self desperately drives the poison, coated silver blade, into my own chest. That scene was what
28:12finally broke him. He goes completely insane, slapping himself over and over. Then he twists his fingers
28:18into claws and digs deep into his own left chest, trying to tear out the wolf heart that belongs to
28:23me.
28:23It's all my fault. I should die! ELWIN!
28:28Flesh and blood splatter everywhere. His fingernails are already pressing against his wildly beating heart.
28:33Calium, stop! A cold, lifeless female voice explodes in his mind. Calium's self-harm freezes instantly.
28:40His whole body shakes violently, and his blood-red golden wolf eyes blaze with sick, desperate joy.
28:45Elowin? It's you! It's really you! You're talking to me. You forgive me, don't you?
28:53He collapses to his knees in the blood, a total mess, responding to me frantically through the mind link,
28:58feeling the pain deep in his soul, the kind that is about to drive him insane.
29:02The wall I've been holding up finally crumbles completely.
29:05Calium...
29:06Stop, please, just stop!
29:09Calium, you're the Alpha of the Blackwood Pack!
29:12How could you hurt yourself like this?
29:14For me?
29:15The power of the Alpha heart surges violently, and the shockwaves tear through chunks of the
29:20original forest around him. Calium feels my love and my heartache, every ounce of it,
29:24and his body goes weak. He collapses fully into the pool of blood.
29:29I'm sorry, Elwyn. It's all my fault.
