00:00Werewolves and merfolk stand side by side. The werewolves rule the land. On the continent of Ursulia the werewolves and
00:07merfolk stand side by side. The werewolves rule the land. While the merfolk dwell in the deep sea. Half a
00:13month ago, Wolf King Cyrus's parents mysteriously vanished at sea. The werewolves placed all the blame on the merfolk. My
00:21people are being hunted down, imprisoned, and having their pearls forcibly dug out.
00:26To prevent the merfolk from being slaughtered, I decided to go ashore and seduce my childhood friend Cyrus, who had
00:33become the Alpha King.
00:35He still loved me deeply and we spent three passionate days and nights together in bed.
00:42Waking up from a haze of pleasure, I hadn't even had the chance to beg Cyrus to release my people
00:47before a corrosive elixir was viciously poured over my head.
00:51This is just a taste of what's to come if you don't tell me where my parents are.
00:57From then on, I was forced to watch him flirt with his mistress Emily, had to extract my mermaid pearl
01:03to help heal her body, was forced to dance barefoot to entertain Emily, so that she could sleep.
01:08Cyrus hated every fiber of my being, yet always held me tenderly in his arms whenever I was on the
01:14brink of death.
01:14Do you think I'll go easy on you just because I love you? I'll make you wish you were dead.
01:22Can't you be good and tell me where my parents are?
01:24Soon, however, these days would come to an end, and I wouldn't have to keep that secret any longer.
01:29After all, a mermaid who did not return to the sea after three years on land would turn into seafoam.
01:35And now, there were only three days until my time was up.
01:40What the hell are you looking at with those disgusting eyes?
01:45Late at night, the doors to the basement were kicked open harshly.
01:49How dare you sleep so comfortable when Emily's hurt?
02:02My body was dragged roughly across the course of the gravel road, leaving behind a long trail of blood.
02:14Eventually, I was dragged to Cyrus' feet.
02:16He furrowed his brows when he saw my bloody state, as if he wanted to say something but held back.
02:23Emily's hurt.
02:25Heal her with your mermaid's pearl.
02:27On the land of Ursulia, the tears of U.S. merfolk can heal any external wound.
02:31I slowly lifted my head, my gaze falling on Emily lying on the bed.
02:36Her lower belly was slightly rounded.
02:38My heart instantly stopped.
02:49What the hell are you looking at with those disgusting eyes?
02:53Who else do you want to hurt?
02:56I... I didn't...
02:58I'm here, so don't you even think of hurting anyone again.
03:03I'm sorry.
03:16Slowly, I crawled towards the bed and observed the wounds on Emily's hand.
03:20Clearly, she'd been teasing a starving mermaid with food and got bitten as a result.
03:32Get out, all of you!
03:35I continued, piercing my chest with my sharp nails and extracting the mermaid pearl from within,
03:41trembling from the intense pain that came as a result.
03:49Marina, don't you think you can make me go easy on you by acting pitiful?
03:55I never intentionally acted to garner any pity from him.
03:59That was Emily's forte, not mine.
04:01Illuminated by my mermaid pearl's glow, Emily quickly woke up.
04:13Are you alright? Does it still hurt?
04:16It doesn't hurt anymore, but the scent of blood is making me nauseous,
04:21so can you get her out of here, pretty please?
04:23Are you deaf? Get lost!
04:30Emily, don't ever go close to those ugly, evil mermaids ever again.
04:34They'll only hurt you.
04:38You feel so good, Emily.
04:40So tight for me.
04:42My heart, already numb with pain, was stabbed with another knife.
04:46The pain reaching places I never imagined.
04:56You disgusting monster!
04:59Aren't you supposed to be immortal?
05:01Why are you bleeding all over the floor instead of healing your wounds quickly?
05:12Wipe the floor clean or I'll tell the Alpha King to punish you.
05:16I started wiping the floor, but it was a never-ending task.
05:20I couldn't stop bleeding, so the floor never became clean.
05:23Through the narrow crack in the door, I saw their naked bodies intertwined,
05:27Cyrus thrusting deeply into Emily as she moaned beneath him.
05:33You feel so good, Emily.
05:35So tight for me.
05:37Oh, Cyrus.
05:39That's it, baby.
05:41Cyrus.
05:46I cried silently.
05:47I thought very soon I would finally be free.
05:50Even mermaids with their legendary immortality would still die.
05:54I was finally reaching the last three days of my life.
06:03I'll deal with this dirty thing immediately.
06:06As I cleaned the final drop of blood on the floor,
06:09the wound on my chest finally healed completely.
06:12At the same time, a new day dawned for the Moonshadow Pack.
06:19Cyrus emerged from the bedroom, still carrying Emily's scent.
06:23The fresh kiss mark on his neck burned my eyes like a brand.
06:27He glanced at the rag soaked in dark red blood and frowned.
06:31Why is there so much blood?
06:34I didn't explain.
06:35I only lowered my head.
06:37I'm sorry.
06:39I'll deal with this dirty thing immediately.
06:42That monster actually asked me how to please a werewolf and what gifts to give a werewolf mate before?
06:49Goodness!
06:50Is she trying to seduce the Alpha King?
06:52Gosh, how delusional.
06:54Doesn't she know those dirty merfish are the reason the Alpha King's parents disappeared?
06:58She should spend her entire life repenting!
07:00Hearing those words, I immediately sensed danger and tried to retreat back to the basement.
07:05But Cyrus was faster.
07:07I just remembered.
07:08It's time for me to interrogate you.
07:11Now talk.
07:13Where did you take my parents?
07:21I closed my eyes.
07:22The terrifying memories of being electrocuted in this exact chair flooded my mind.
07:27My whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.
07:36Please.
07:38No.
07:39Not again.
07:42I begged in a broken voice, tears streaming down my face.
07:56Cyrus!
07:58I'm begging you!
08:00The moment I finished speaking, strong electrical current surged through my body.
08:15My entire body convulsed violently, and the wounds that had just scabbed over split open
08:20there.
08:21Fresh blood poured out.
08:22When the current finally stopped, I was so weak I could barely breathe.
08:27I just want to know where my parents are, Marina.
08:31If you tell me, I'll let you go.
08:33I could never let anyone know where Cyrus' parents were.
08:37I...
08:38I won't tell you.
08:49We'll be that way!
08:55His was a matter of their safety.
08:58Cyrus stared at me for a very long while,
09:01before scoffing and ordering for his underlings to bring the mermaid pearls that I thought
09:06I'd kept hidden.
09:10My eyes went wide, and I struggled in the chair.
09:14What are you doing?
09:15You can't do that!
09:22Of course I can.
09:23I can do whatever I want to a criminal like you.
09:38I hear that mermaid pearls contain the souls of you, Murphic, and that you'll never be able
09:44to revive them ever again if their mermaid pearls were destroyed.
09:50Does this pearl belong to your father or your mother?
09:55He didn't know.
09:56The pearl he had just crushed under his foot wasn't someone else's.
10:00It was mine.
10:04I hate you, Cyrus!
10:06In response, I got a kiss that was so fierce I couldn't breathe.
10:11You hate me?
10:12What right do you have to hate me?
10:15I didn't speak, his kiss making me dizzy and confused.
10:19Mermaids had always had the custom of taking human form and going ashore to look for their
10:24true love.
10:26I was three years old when I first met Cyrus.
10:31Mom!
10:32I like her!
10:33Can she be my Luna?
10:34The moment he saw me, he looked up at his mother and asked,
10:38Well, you would need to treat her well and get her to like you first, right?
10:44After that, Cyrus and I became the best of friends, spending most of our time together.
10:52The year I turned 15, merfolk started being hunted for their healing abilities.
10:57I was forced to leave the land and return to the sea, but I'd often sneak back on land
11:01and look for Cyrus, when people asked me about my identity.
11:08She's my beloved girlfriend, and my future Luna, Marina.
11:15At that moment, I realized that I'd completely and utterly fallen for him.
11:28In any case, I wouldn't have to bear any of this love or any of this hate ever again.
11:33I had two days left.
11:35Cyrus tried to lift me from my chair, only to find his arms soaked in my blood.
11:40He paused and looked at my ruptured wounds.
11:43It's dirty, isn't it?
11:46But it's fine.
11:48I'm going to die.
11:56You can't die.
11:59Not without my permission.
12:08Undoing the shackles on my ankles, he plunged me into a pool of healing elixir.
12:12I coughed and choked, and the wounds on my body stopped bleeding.
12:22However, I felt that there was something wrong with the healing elixir that I was plunged
12:26into.
12:27My body was temporarily healed, for sure.
12:29But the side effects were going to leave irreparable damage on my body.
12:34Looking up, I caught sight of Emily hiding behind the door.
12:38Marina, I want you dead.
12:55In my days, I felt someone hold me close, caressing my hair gently.
13:02Marina, if all of this never happened, if only things were as they were.
13:09Only a guard that dragged me to the courtyard.
13:12The scorching sunlight beat down on me relentlessly, and I quickly felt dehydrated.
13:17Cyrus and Emily were there in the courtyard, and seeing me, Emily made a show of looking
13:21concerned.
13:22You haven't eaten in a long time, right?
13:25Are you hungry?
13:26My throat was dry, and it hurt to even draw in a single breath, so I couldn't respond to
13:32her immediately.
13:33At Emily's signal, a guard kicked me hard.
13:36The kick landed right on an unhealed wound, and fresh blood stained my clothes again.
13:44Cyrus seemed irritated.
13:46He frowned and threw his coat over me.
13:55A devious glint flashed through Emily's eyes as she threw dirty meat and vegetables onto
14:00the ground in front of me.
14:01You must be hungry!
14:02Eat up!
14:07From the looks of it, that moment earlier with him holding me and crying must have been
14:11a dream.
14:12How could he possibly still hold any feelings toward me?
14:15I slowly lowered my head and reached for the food on the ground, pitifully eating like
14:20a disgraced mutt.
14:29Suddenly Emily's voice, underlined with malice, rang in my ears.
14:33Why aren't you eating the meat, Nuju?
14:36I'm sure you need the nutrition, right?
14:42Numbly, I placed the meat into my mouth.
14:52My sense of taste had long since been dulled from all the pain I suffered, so all I could
14:57feel was that the meat was slightly different from anything I'd ever eaten before.
15:06Is it good?
15:11They're always in seawater, so I'm sure mermaid flesh is pretty tender, right?
15:15A piece of meat dropped from my mouth as I raised my head in shock, looking at Emily as
15:20if I was processing what she just told me.
15:23Her smile only grew wider, relishing in my pain.
15:26A wave of nausea rose up, and I collapsed to the ground.
15:32I had thrown up all over Emily's heels.
15:45Without waiting for orders, the guards grabbed me by the hair and dragged me away, stuffing
15:50a rock into my mouth.
16:00Cyrus held Emily in his arms, threw away her soiled shoes, and ordered a servant to fetch
16:05her a new pair.
16:06He used to treat me like that too in the past, but now all he had for me was hatred.
16:12What's wrong, Marina?
16:14You should have expected this when you Mershiks heard us, werewolves.
16:19Since you don't want to eat, just throw the meat into the rubbish.
16:24Emily wore a new pair of shoes and kicked the meat away, before turning to look at Cyrus.
16:30Alpha King, don't blame Marina, she's just not hungry, that's all.
16:35How about you let her keep me company while I paint to make up for it?
16:42You're too kind, Emily.
16:44Then, he took the rock from my mouth, wiped away the dirt on my face, and gripped my chin.
16:50Hear that?
16:51You upset Emily, and now she's giving you the chance to make up for it.
16:56Keep her company, and don't make her unhappy.
17:08Cyrus' grip on my chin became tighter, and he seemed to want to say something, but he
17:13was interrupted by an incoming call.
17:16He stood up and bid farewell to Emily, before leaning down and kissing her pregnant belly.
17:22Watching them, I couldn't help but feel a wave of sadness washing over me.
17:26After Cyrus left, Emily didn't bother keeping up the act any longer, only rolling her eyes
17:31at me.
17:32I don't like being watched while I paint.
17:34Go sit by the trash can.
17:36I quietly moved to sit by the trash can.
17:39The sun was far too bright for me today, and there was at least some shade by the trash can.
17:46A few moments later, Emily's maid came over with a bucket.
17:50Hey, monster!
17:52Emily needs red paint for her drawing.
17:54The prettiest red is the color of blood, so extract a bucket of your blood for her.
17:59Use this.
18:03I hesitated.
18:05But it's rusted.
18:08Do you think you're still a princess?
18:10Don't be so picky and cut yourself already, or I'm not gonna go easy on you!
18:16The maid put her hands on her hips and yelled.
18:22I'm sorry.
18:35All I could do was take the dagger and slit my wrist, allowing the blood to drip into the bucket.
18:41I only stopped when my lips turned purple, and I was close to passing out, when the bucket was finally
18:47full.
18:53Leaning against the trash can in a daze, I heard a few maids talking in the courtyard nearby.
18:59Emily's paintings are just gorgeous.
19:02It's a pit how difficult it is for her to get the materials she needs for her paints.
19:08Did you know that she could only get a tiny bottle of pearl powder after killing several merwith?
19:16Why do those monsters only have one mermaid pearl?
19:19Since they're freaks anyway, what's a few more?
19:21Simple Ha.
19:39Romxide.
19:42father.
19:42Romxide.
19:43Romxide.
19:43Romaine.
19:43What's a big bị Britney?
20:06When I got there, she had her hand around the throat of a mermaid, her knife stabbing
20:12into their chest with precision, digging out their mermaid pearl and crushing it in
20:16one fluid motion.
20:19At that moment, I felt like my heart was crushed into pieces as well.
20:23Wiping the blood on her hands, she turned to look at me.
20:33Marina, I didn't know that you merfish had differently colored pearls.
20:37I just want white ones.
20:39I hear only royalty has pearls of that color, right?
20:45You're the mermaid princess.
20:48So you must know who's royalty, right?
20:50Could you help me get their white pearls, pretty please?
20:55You're murdering my people?
20:57For paint?
20:59Just a few more.
21:00Pretty please, princess?
21:07There, locked in a tank of water, was my younger brother.
21:15Big sis, save me!
21:23Ah, so he's your brother.
21:25How cute.
21:27I'll go with him next then.
21:34By her orders, two guards dragged my little brother out from the tank and held his chest
21:39up to Emily's knife.
21:43Please, Emily!
21:44Let him go!
21:45He was adopted, so he isn't royalty!
21:47My pearl is white, so use mine!
21:49But you're a filthy little liar.
21:53So who knows if you're lying now, too.
22:00In any case, I'll know once I see it.
22:03Little boy, I'll take your pearl, then Marina's-
22:08No!
22:11No!
22:12No!
22:13You brat!
22:13How dare you!
22:14No!
22:15No!
22:16No!
22:16No!
22:18Don't hurt Marina!
22:21I already told you that you would know where your parents were when the time was right!
22:25And they-
22:33Marina!
22:34You already hurt my parents, so are you gonna do the same to Emily?
22:38Please, let him go!
22:40I'll take the punishment!
22:42I'll take the punishment, so take me instead!
22:45Shut up!
22:46Don't make me repeat myself over and over again!
22:50If you let me know where my parents are, I'll let go both him and you!

23:25my brother's body quickly turned cold and stiff his soul destroyed he was truly gone

23:49clutching her stomach she cried and accused me

26:31cyrus's breath hitched as panic filled his heart
26:33but he still tried to put on a brave front

27:22in the next moment cyrus fell to his knees trembling as he cradled me in his arms
27:29as the alpha king he had never knelt to anyone before
27:32but now he seemed to care about nothing else
27:35all he could see was me gradually fading away
27:51marina

29:01i could no longer be saved
29:08don't scare me marina
29:12why are you becoming so light
29:18you still haven't told me the truth so don't leave
29:29i couldn't hear anything beyond that my consciousness fading into nothingness
29:35my death was already inevitable
29:38so even if i was placed into seawater
29:41it only slowed down the speed of me dissolving into foam
29:55mom
29:55dad
29:57where did the merfish take you
30:00didn't they kidnap you
30:03were you hurt
30:22so you tortured marina like this without even knowing the truth
30:26your father and i have never taught you to be like this
30:30the merfish didn't hurt us
30:32in fact they're the saviors of our pack
30:35marina even saved you too
30:42but i saw the merfish and take you away back then
30:55that was just one act we put on
30:58one that we decided on together with the merfish
31:06cyrus our ancestors had once offended a powerful dark sorcerer and so we were cursed
31:10from then on all the werewolves in our pack would have genetic defects
31:13the merfish are the only ones who can help to resolve this
31:16the fact that we have genetic defects can't be known by our conciders
31:19and our research had always been held in secret
31:24because we once helped marina's parents they agreed to aid our tribe in curing the genetic illness
31:30of that they healed who won your genetic ill beer was marine
31:35using her own flesh and blood
31:37we already owe the merfish too much and look what you've done
31:59but why didn't she tell me the truth
32:03after all this time
32:09because there's been a traitor among us
32:11the whole reason marina came ashore was to find the traitor too
32:17who
32:17who
32:31who
32:32who
32:36who
32:46who
32:47who
32:59what
33:01who
33:14who
33:15who
33:17I never had my own room before, only living in Cyrus's wardrobe at night.
33:21Later on, I was kicked out because Emily didn't want me to sleep in the same room as Cyrus.
33:26With fake pity, she had the maids arrange for me to stay in the basement instead.
33:53Why are you in this place, Alpha King? Emily wants to see you!
34:06Were you the one who put Marina in this place?
34:16Emily said that a dark and damp place like this suited Mermin.
34:34So this is how Emily secretly tortured Marina behind my back.
34:39How kind of her.
34:44All this time, I've been blind.
34:52Marina, I'm sorry.
34:55I'm so sorry for everything I did to you.
35:17What's the use of your repentance now, Cyrus?
35:20When I was begging you, when I was bleeding and dying every day.
35:23Where was this regret?
35:24Your apology comes far too late.
35:26I don't need it anymore.
35:31A deal?
35:32I don't need it anymore.
35:56Cyrus, I heard that your parents returned.
36:00Is that true?
36:01It is.
36:06My parents returned.
36:08And they said that we've misunderstood her all these years.
36:12And that they left because of a deal they made.
36:17A deal?
36:19Why didn't I know about it?
36:22Have some rest.
36:24Marina's not doing well, so I need to go take care of her.
36:28Sleep by yourself tonight.
36:53Alpha King, you should know that death is an irreversible journey.
36:59Marina's mermaid pearl is almost fully seafoom, so there is no way to resurrect her.
37:03At this point, it would be simpler to find her a place to rest.
37:18Useless, all of you!
37:20I didn't spend so much money hiring you to hear you blubber excuses!
37:25If you can't cure Marina, then you will be laid to rest with her!
37:30Me!
37:49You're welcome!
38:03Alpha King, what's the use of doing all this after all this time?
38:09You're the one who tortured Marina for all these years, and the source of all her pain.
38:14What's the point of making yourself look like a heartbroken fool now, when she's already gone?
38:22Finally, someone put to words what had been bothering me during this entire exchange.
38:27Cyrus treated me like the dirt under his feet while I was still alive, yet acted repentant after I was
38:33dead.
38:33What was the point? I didn't want this love that came too late.
39:06It's alright Marina. Let me end your life for you.
39:53Die, Marina.
40:25Cyrus, why are you here?
40:30Emily, why did you want to kill Marina?
40:33She's never done a thing to you.
40:35I did it to help you.
40:37I know you hate her, so I killed her for you so you didn't need to dirty your hands.
40:43Besides, she's nothing but a monster, so she should have died ages ago.
40:47I was only doing the right thing.
40:57You did it? To help me?
41:00Then what about when you locked her up in that narrow basement and used her blood as paint?
41:05You're just a venomous witch who's jealous of Marina.
41:12I'm venomous? How dare you?
41:15If I'm venomous, then what are you?
41:17Did you forget that you've tortured her not less than I did?
41:21Did you ever try helping her, even once when she was in pain?
41:25She's already dead now, so she can't see anything you do, Cyrus.
41:33I'll only love you from now on, so can't we live happily together?
41:52I'll only love you from now on, so I'm going to love you from now on, so I'm going to
41:52love you from now on, so I'm going to love you from now on, so I'm going to love you
41:52from now on, so I'm going to love you from now on, so I'm going to love you from now
41:53on, so I'm going to love you from now on, so I'm going to love you from now on, so
41:53I'm going to love you from now on, so I'm going to love you from now on, so I'm going
41:54to love you from now on, so I'm going to love you from now on, so I'm going to love
41:57you from now on, so I'm going to love you from now on, so I'm going to love you from
42:02now on, so I'm going to love you from now on, so I'm going to love you from now on,
42:03so I'm going to love you from now on, so I'm going to love you from now on, so I'm
42:19Alpha King, are you going to punish me because of those monsters?
42:27How dare you do this to me?
42:30I'm the future Luna Queen!
42:46Are you mad? Marina's my Luna Queen!
42:52Besides, you're nothing but a traitor who betrayed the pack!
42:59Emily was pinned to the ground, her once dainty face becoming smudged with dirt.
43:04Even when she saw the parchment, she didn't think that she did anything wrong.
43:11Fine! You can call me a traitor! So what?
43:14Those Murphan are monsters!
43:16They're not from the same spreece as us, so they'd never help us out of the goodness of their hearts!
43:20You can't let them trick you!
43:22Alpha King, are you going to punish me because of those monsters?
43:27Cyrus took in several deep breaths, but he still couldn't suppress the pain in his heart.
43:31All these years, he'd stubbornly hurt the one who truly loved and cared for him,
43:36all while treating the vicious witch in front of him so well, he really messed up.
43:42My body was immediately torn to shreds by the magic.
43:46Emily, you're actually the descendant of the Dark Sorcerer,
43:49and you infiltrated the Moonshadow Pack so that our deal with the Murphish would never come to fruition!
43:57Everyone looked at Emily in shock.
44:00How could you know that?
44:02Who told you?
44:13Believe me now, son.
44:15Emily did all this because of her plan.
44:19But I really do want to be with Cyrus! I do!
44:22Emily cried loudly, but Cyrus only looked down at her like she was nothing more than trash.
44:32With a sudden burst of strength, she shook herself free from the werewolf that held her down
44:37and activated black magic toward the water tank, where I was held.
44:43No! No, don't!
44:45Here's what you get for not loving me, Cyrus!
44:54My body was immediately torn to shreds by the magic,
44:57to the point where one couldn't even tell that it was me anymore.
45:03But my soul had started to become lighter and lighter.
45:07Marina!
45:08How dare you!
45:09Don't stop me!
45:11Cyrus wanted to jump into the water tank to save me,
45:14but he was held back by the guards.
45:16It was common knowledge, after all,
45:18that touching dark magic was tantamount to a death sentence.
45:21Emily sat there on the ground,
45:23fresh blood dripping out of her nose as she smiled deviously.
45:26The black magic had taken a toll on her.
45:33How dare you stop me!
45:36Look, now her body's gone!
45:44At that moment, Cyrus looked up,
45:47and his eyes precisely met where my soul was floating.
45:50I was surprised.
45:51Could he see me?
45:59I was surprised.
46:02Marina, please.
46:04Please don't go.
46:05Stay with me.
46:07Perhaps it was because my body was completely destroyed,
46:09but my soul had started to become lighter and lighter,
46:12as if I was about to fade out of existence.
46:15In the end, I was completely out of reach.
46:17As the Alpha King,
46:18he had always faced everything with composure.
46:21But now, just because he couldn't hold my hand,
46:24Cyrus was already in tears.
46:31Cyrus locked himself in the laboratory for an entire week.
46:35He refused to eat or drink.
46:37No matter who came, he ignored them completely.
46:42Servants left meals at the door,
46:44only to take them away untouched.
46:49Guards stood outside,
46:50listening to the periods of dead silence
46:52broken only by the sound of things being smashed.
47:07No one dared to knock.
47:09No one dared to speak.
47:21When he finally reappeared before everyone,
47:24the entire pack drew in a sharp breath.
47:26The once majestic Alpha King now looked
47:29as if all his strength had been drained away.
47:33I need
47:36to atone for everything I've done.
47:43Werewolves hugged each other,
47:45cried and celebrated.
47:46The genetic serum developed by the merfolk
47:48was finally made public.
47:50It was the result of many years of cooperation
47:52between Marina's parents and Cyrus' parents,
47:55a formula capable of repairing
47:57the werewolves' genetic defects.
48:00Cyrus personally handed the formula
48:02to the pack's alchemists
48:03and ordered mass production.
48:11On the day the first batch was completed,
48:14the entire moon shadow pack erupted in cheers.
48:17Werewolves hugged each other,
48:19cried and celebrated.
48:20They no longer had to fear the diseases
48:22and early deaths caused by their genetic defects.
48:38Yet Cyrus stood apart from the crowd,
48:40silent.
48:41His beta walked over
48:42and lowered his voice.
48:46Alpha King,
48:48won't you say a few words?
48:50Cyrus shook his head
48:51and turned to leave.
48:53He didn't know what to say.
48:54All he knew was that this serum,
48:56which had saved his entire race,
48:58had been bought with Marina's flesh and blood.
49:01She had endured his torture day after day,
49:05night after night,
49:06yet she never stopped treating his people.
49:08And he had known nothing.
49:09He hadn't wanted to know anything.
49:13What?
49:15What did you say?
49:17On the day Emily was sentenced to death,
49:20Cyrus personally went to the dungeon.
49:22Emily sat huddled in the corner of her cell,
49:25hair disheveled.
49:26She no longer resembled the glamorous mistress she once was.
49:31The moment she saw Cyrus,
49:33she threw herself against the iron bars.
49:39Cyrus,
49:40you're here to save me, right?
49:45Cyrus stood outside the bars staring at her expressionlessly.
49:49Cyrus,
49:49I was wrong.
49:51I shouldn't have hurt Marina.
49:52I shouldn't have lied
49:53to have lied to you.
49:55But I really do love you.
49:57You can't kill me.
49:58I gave birth to your child.
50:00That child is not mine.
50:02Emily's voice cut off abruptly.
50:05What?
50:07What did you say?
50:12The child in your belly
50:14belongs to you
50:15and that dark sorcerer.
50:18You've been lying to me
50:19from the very beginning.
50:23Cyrus!
50:24You can't do this to me!
50:26Cyrus!
50:28Cyrus!
50:30Behind him came Emily's heart-wrenching screams.
50:37On the day of Emily's execution by fire,
50:40the sky was dark and overcast.
50:42The entire moon shadow pack had gathered.
50:45They threw stones
50:46and spat at the execution platform.
50:55Emily stood tied to the stake
50:57with heavy iron chains.
50:58Her eyes frantically searched the crowd
51:00before finally locking
51:01onto the distant high platform.
51:03Cyrus stood there,
51:04flanked by his parents.
51:05He wasn't even looking
51:06at the execution platform.
51:11Cyrus!
51:13I curse you!
51:15You will never have Marina!
51:17You will live in pain forever!
51:32But his mother standing beside him
51:34noticed his tightly clenched fists,
51:37the knuckles bone white.
51:38After the execution ended,
51:40Cyrus left alone.
51:49He didn't return to the palace.
51:51Instead,
51:52he went to the Merfolk Sea.
51:54He sat on the shore,
51:55watching the waves crash
51:57against the sand
51:57again and again
51:58until night fell.
51:59in the river.
52:00He's got to the end of the dome.
52:01The end of the year.
52:02It's his eighth year.
52:02He's been to the center of the
