Short filmTranscript
00:00loved me more than anything. I stayed here for four men who loved me more than anything.
00:05My eldest brother, Edric Mayne, the Warth King. My second brother, Vulcan Ember, the Wifen King.
00:12My third brother, Alphath Crest, the Griffin King.
00:18And then there's Silas, a pure-hearted Pegasus. To him, I'm his whole world. When I got pregnant,
00:26I thought I had it all. But everything changed. They came back with a swan woman, my exact copy.
00:33Maeve, from now on, Cassandra is your sister. Cassandra smiled at me. She loved it, so she
00:39began to twirl. But suddenly, she grabbed her chest and fell to the ground. Through the chaos,
00:46her trembling finger pointed past everyone, straight at my belly. Maeve, she's trying to
00:51steal my life force for herself. Next thing I knew, Edric pinned me and forced
00:56the truth potion down my throat. Vulcan dragged me to my knees by Cassandra's bed and made
01:02me grovel. My baby was dying inside me, barely holding on.
01:08Maeve's gotten so vicious since she got pregnant. Such a waste of that precious unicorn body.
01:14How about we rip her heart out and give it to Cassandra after the birth?
01:20Damn right. Only Cassandra deserves that unicorn heart. Then we shove Cassandra's bad
01:26heart back into Maeve. Suits her perfectly.
01:29Truth is, I don't belong here. I'm a traveler from another world. I only stayed because I couldn't
01:35let go of their love. I threw away my chances to go back. And now, they want to rip my
01:41heart
01:41out for a swan made of lies. One last chance, Maeve. Do you truly give up on returning home?
01:50I made up my mind, Guardian Spirit. I want to go home. Then your mortal form in this world
01:55must die completely. Only then can your soul go back. Then I'll die. Right now, I'm ending
02:03the lies. On my own. I grab the sharp piece of glass from the floor and press it to my
02:08throat.
02:08Stop, Maeve. What the hell are you doing? An arrow hits the shard and knocks it out
02:12of my hand. Before I can even move, Edric charges. His claws sink into my skin as he priz me
02:18down.
02:19Wanna die? No fucking way. Cassandra is not healed. Your life belongs to her. I saved it
02:24for her. Yeah, he saved my life once. But it wasn't for Cassandra. Years ago, I got so sick
02:29I was almost dead. My soul was about to drift back to my own world. Edric cut his own neck
02:34and shoulder. Using the wharf's lifeblood to save me. He was bedridden for three months
02:42because of that. But then Cassandra was brought before Edric, and someone said her dance had
02:47healing powers. Look at her, Maeve. Vulcan gazes at Cassandra sprawled on the grass, his eyes
02:52full of pity. See how fragile she is? We gotta give her a home. At first, the four of them
02:57just comforted her whenever she coughed. Then, she wanted my ruby necklace, the only gift
03:02I had left. Alphador had snapped it right off my neck with his claws and soared away.
03:07Cassandra's fragile. Just let her have it. I'll buy you another one later.
03:10Later, when she fell ill, I stood over a hot stove for hours brewing medicine for her despite
03:15my heavy, pregnant belly. But the moment she drank it, she slammed the bowl aside and threw
03:20herself into my husband's arms. Maeve's potion? It hurts my heart even more? Is she trying to
03:26steal my-
03:31I get it. You're pregnant. You're emotional. You need the nutrition. But this-
03:35Silas threw me to the ground. My brothers forced me to my knees, making me beg her for
03:41mercy. The memory snaps away. I'm back in the present, and Edric's hand is still choking
03:46the life out of me. Because of Cassandra, they've twisted every beautiful memory we ever shared
03:51into something ugly. I'm leaving.
03:56Leaving?
03:59I've been way too soft on you, Maeve. That's why you think and act out like this.
04:04Since you're so disobedient, then hurry up and give birth so you can give Cassandra your
04:08blood!
04:11Edric shifts with a sickening crack into his massive war form. His heavy tail whips around
04:16my waist, lifting me up and slamming me onto his back. He lets out a deafening howl and
04:21charges straight towards the high temple. I grip his coarse mane, watching the stone pillars
04:26of the temple loom closer and closer. If he gets me inside, they will cut me open. No! I am
04:30going home! My jaw sets. My eyes turn to ice. I let go of his mane, throw my weight sideways,
04:36and plunge straight down into the abyss of the canyon.
04:39Maeve!
04:41Above me, the giant wolf whips around, diving into the canyon after me.
04:45As I fall through the empty air, I watch him dive headfirst after me. I used to love racing
04:52through this canyon with Edric. Dying down here, deep in the shadows. Maybe it will make the old
04:57memories taste a little sweeter. I roll mid-air, spreading my arms to welcome the end. But the brutal
05:03of me. Instead, I slam into a broad, powerful back. It's Idrint. He caught me before I could
05:09hit the canyon floor. His massive tail wraps around my waist, lowering me onto the ground.
05:14The giant wolf shifts back into his human form. You've got some nerve, Maeve! Try to weaponize
05:21your own death just to get your way! The jagged stones slice into my bare feet,
05:27but I don't say a word. I just stare past him. What, nothing to say? Can't even bother to make
05:32a
05:32stupid lie this time? Listen, even if you're hell-bent on dying, you are not dragging Silas's
05:39unborn child down with you! I'm not trying to threat you at Edric. I'm leaving. Permanently.
05:46I promise you, you aren't going anywhere! He lets out a piercing wolf cry. The sun goes dark as Vulcan
05:53swoops down in his massive wyvern form. Before I can react, Edric hauls me onto the wyvern's back
05:58and pins my arms from behind. Let's see you try to escape now. The wyvern kicks off the ground,
06:06launching us into the sky like a rocket. Let me go! I'm leaving!
06:13Vulcan's wyvern form is insanely fast. In a matter of seconds, we slam down onto the stone
06:18courtyard of the High Temple. Edric yanks me off the rough, scaly hide. The moment Vulcan shifts
06:24back into his human body, he storms right into my face. Maeve, you've completely lost your mind!
06:31How dare you thrash around like that on my back! If I had lost control a mile high,
06:36you would have killed us all! Don't waste your breath on her. Get her into the temple and begin
06:41the extraction now! Before she destroys my child too! I look at their faces, and for a second,
06:49the world blurs. The last time they surrounded me like this was my birthday last year. May this
06:55wolf fang protect you forever, my sweet Maeve. Forged from my own scales, may you always be strong,
07:02the brightest jewel for our only treasure. May you never want for anything! I brewed this honey sweet
07:07elixir just for you. It will ensure our baby is born safely. Back then, they made me the happiest
07:14woman in the mythos realm. We're doing the procedure right now. Activate the Altum, begin the extraction.
07:29I let out a gut-ranking scream, then everything goes black. I feel Edric's ritual knife slice open my
07:35chest. Vulcan rips the pure unicorn heart right out of me. My husband carries Cassandra over and lays
07:39her down right beside me. Alfred guides my heart towards Cassandra infusing it into her chest. The
07:44fusion is flawless. Cassandra is saved. Quick! Take Cassandra's discarded failing heart and force it
07:51into Maeve! My body doesn't want your gar-garbage. Maeve? Maeve.
08:05Accept the heart, now! I got the heart in! Wake up dammit! Do you hear you hear me? This is
08:14impossible!
08:15Unicorns have the strongest life force in existence! How can her body just refuse the bond?
08:21My soul drifts higher, hovering on the edge of life and death. I am so close to leaving these men
08:27forever.
08:28Honey! Maeve, look at me! Open your eyes! Please! Don't fight the heart! Take it! Come back! Stay here!
08:40Guardian spirit, please, take me home. There is nothing left for me here. Just let me go back.
08:52They all press down on my chest together, desperately fighting to drag my rising soul back down.
09:02In all that chaos, I didn't die. Instead, the dead, lifeless baby has finally left my body.
09:07Oh god, she's breathing. Maeve, you are so damn stubborn! How could you pull a stunt like that on the
09:12divine altar?
09:13I'm so sorry, baby. If you need to blame someone, blame me. We did everything we could, but the surgery
09:19just didn't work.
09:20We couldn't save the baby, but don't worry. You're alive. We'll have more kids, I swear.
09:25It's only the loss of a child. As long as you rest and recover, I promise I'll use the finest
09:30elixirs to nurse you back to health.
09:33Only the loss of a child? It was all an accident, Maeve. If you're hurting, just blame me. Put it
09:39all on me.
09:41Didn't die. And now I get to listen to them cover up the whole thing. As if I, a unicorn,
09:47can't feel the difference.
09:59Maeve! What the hell are you doing?
10:05Accident? The surgery failed? Then why is the heart in her chest glowing with pure unicorn white light?
10:18Maeve, let her go!
10:21Cassandra, you want to tell me that heart in her chest isn't mine?
10:24Maeve, why are you blaming Cassandra? She almost died from a heart attack. Someone gave her a heart to save
10:29her life.
10:30Oh, so here's the thing. My heart is cracked to pieces. But Cassandra's heart? Shining bright white.
10:37And you're saying I'm just making up reasons to blame her?
10:41Maeve, look, we-
10:42Right. Sure. Maybe my heart just happened to go bad during the surgery.
10:46And she just happened to get a heart that glows like a unicorn. It's just happened.
10:52Maeve!
10:56Maeve, I brought you some sacred water from the Griffins. Drink it, you'll get your strength back.
11:01I close my eyes. Done hoping. After he leaves, I get up and head to Cassandra's room. All gold and
11:09glitter.
11:10I climb onto her bed. Push down hard on the mattress. Try to choke the life out of her.
11:22Maeve? What are you doing in here? I went to your room and you were gone. You shouldn't be running
11:26around like this.
11:26Where is she? She just went for a walk in the garden. She just had surgery. And she's walking?
11:32She said the room felt stuffy. Needed fresh air. You haven't drank the water I gave you. Go back and
11:40drink it, okay? Be good.
11:44I see him wave his hand. Guards and servants swarm around me. After that, I'm like a puppet. They force
11:50-feed me. Watch me so I can't end things myself. God, I just want to go home. One time, the
11:55maids step out to job. I crawl to the window, ready to jump.
12:00Oof!
12:01Cassandra!
12:05Maeve, I know you're jealous my heart is fixed. But did you really gotta throw something and make me fall?
12:18Maeve, you're like this and you still want to hurt Cassandra? How many times do we have to tell you?
12:23Your heart was never swapped!
12:25Maeve just went through childbirth. It hit her hard. We need to give her time.
12:29Fine. You stay home and rest. We're taking Cassandra to the forest.
12:32Silas, come with me. You promised you'd take me to that place in the forest, remember?
12:36I should stay at the castle with your sister. She's-
12:39If Cassandra wants you to go, then go. But I wait all night in my room. No one comes. Not
12:45the cave.
12:47That place in the forest? I'd like to see what tricks you're up to.
12:54Silas, come on. Again.
12:58Easy, babe. You just got the new heart. You can't handle that much yet.
13:02You promised me. Once my heart was fixed, you'd give me what I want. Break the bond with her and
13:07do it with me instead. You're not backing out, are you?
13:10Baby, I'll give you everything. But we still need Maeve to keep giving you blood. Otherwise you'll reject the heart.
13:17Oh, Silas, you're mine forever. Say you love me.
13:21You're so amazing, Cassandra.
13:23So you've been planning this together all along. Well, now I don't want to die so fast.
13:32Maeve? What are you doing here?
13:37You bitch! What are you doing?
13:40Maeve! What the hell is wrong with you?
13:47What's wrong with me? My husband is naked in a cave with my sister. You tell me who's crazy here.
13:55Last night, there was a thunderstorm in the forest. Cassandra got scared. We hid in the cave.
14:01I'm sorry, Maeve. I was so scared last night. We didn't do anything.
14:10Simus had too much wine. That's all. It's no big deal. I've stayed in caves with Cassandra when she was
14:15scared before.
14:16What about you? Got anything to say?
14:19Yeah, Maeve. Cassandra's pure by nature. She wouldn't do anything wrong.
14:24Want me to play back what they've done last night? All of it? For you, brothers?
14:30Silomus. My heart. I can't breathe.
14:37Cassandra!
14:41You're throwing a fit out here just to make Cassandra sick again?
14:46Fine! You can donate blood to save her!
14:51You wanted my blood. You wanted my heart. Now take my life. I am done with this world.
15:00No! That's not possible! It was just a blood draw! Why would you do this?! Why would you do this?!
15:06Why?!
15:08Move! Let me!
15:14Maeve! I won't let you die! You hear me?!
15:22Take her to the main Divine Ultra! The High Elder can save her! Yes, the High Elder! We need the
15:27High Elder!
15:41Don't waste your effort. What do you mean?!
15:45The Unicorn's descendant has completely abandoned this body.
15:53You killed her!
15:57If you hadn't been screwing around with Cassandra last night, she never would have wanted to die like this!
16:03You're blaming me?!
16:05You're blaming me?!
16:07You're the one who wanted to take Cassandra in! You brought that demon into this house!
16:11You give me shut your mouth! It was Alfred! He suggested swapping Maeve's heart!
16:17Me?! Edric was the one always saying Maeve was lying!
16:20And none of you forced her to repent?!
16:22Arrgh!
16:25Arrgh!!
16:26Arrgh!
16:26Arrgh!
16:26Arrgh!
16:27Arrgh!
16:27Thomas, where did you guys go? While you were gone, Maeve hit me.
16:32Maeve blamed me for making her lose all that blood.
16:36It hurts so much, brothers. Silas, where did you go?
16:41She's just jealous that you all love me so much.
16:45That's why she's picking on me when you're not around.
16:48It's okay. I'm the one who took her heart.
16:52It's only fair she gets to blow off some steam.
16:54But Maeve is right here.
17:01Maeve never lied.
17:03And we made her repent over and over.
17:09Maeve, we were wrong about you.
17:12Cassandra, this is all Cassandra's fault.
17:16I'll make her pay. She can die with Mae-En.
17:24My name is Maeve, and I have a message for every god and every citizen of this realm.
17:29My three brothers, Edric, Vulcan, Alphard, and my husband, Silas.
17:31They conspired to steal my unicorn heart and murder me.
17:37Since you won't listen, let's just do the surgery.
17:40Never mind the stillborn. Take the heart first.
17:43Hurry. Put Cassandra's bad heart into Maeve's body.
17:46Oh my god. Is this really the Beast Kings we loved?
17:50They gouged out their sister's and wife's unicorn heart for a swan woman?
17:54The unicorn heart is sacred. It protects the entire city.
17:57These men are absolutely disgusting.
18:00We still need Maeve to keep giving you blood.
18:02Once your body fully accepts her heart, I'll break the bond with her.
18:06Simus is beyond shameless.
18:08He stole her heart, and now he wants her blood too?
18:11They can't get away with this.
18:12Stealing a unicorn's heart and blood is a grave sin.
18:15Murdering your own family is even worse.
18:18We're gonna confront them.
18:28Monsters, murderers, give back our city's sacred relic.
18:40Strip them of their divine titles.
18:43Banish them to the Abyss.
18:46I confess.
18:48I'll take any punishment.
18:53But please, let Maeve be buried in peace.
18:57I beg you, find a quiet hill for her.
19:00Lay her to rest.
19:01You have no right to bury her.
19:03You make me sick.
19:04To calm the city's rage,
19:06you will kneel at Maeve's grave and repent for three years.
19:15Maeve.
19:17I'm so sorry.
19:18You struggled so hard on my wife and back.
19:21Why did I ever take you back to that hell?
19:24I used to take you up above the clouds to watch sunsets.
19:27But now I'm left with nothing but pain.
19:31I took her favorite ruby necklace and never gave her anything back.
19:36I'm the real liar.
19:47Oh, no.
19:48Oh, no.
19:54Oh, no.
19:54Oh, Maeve.
19:55How could you leave us so suddenly?
19:57My heart is really breaking here.
20:00Silas, why did you bring her?
20:04I brought her here to confess, to apologize.
20:08If she hadn't stirred things up, we never would have ended up like this.
20:15Maeve, I'm sorry.
20:17This is all my fault.
20:20If I'd known my being here would push her to do something so drastic.
20:24Would cause all of you brothers so much pain.
20:26I swear, I never would have agreed to come to this family.
20:28I never would have accepted your help.
20:30I'm so sorry.
20:31I truly am.
20:33Stupid bitch.
20:34So what if you told the whole city,
20:36you're dead now.
20:38This perfect unicorn heart
20:41is finally mine.
20:42Cassandra,
20:44put away your sick little thoughts.
20:48Big brother?
20:50What are you talking about?
21:09Big brother,
21:11why?
21:11Aren't I your favorite?
21:14Shut up!
21:15You lying swan!
21:16You're still trying to trick me?
21:19Give Maeve back her heart!
21:21Yeah.
21:22Give it back.
21:23That's Maeve's.
21:25If we give it back,
21:26will she come back?
21:27This is your punishment for seducing me!
21:30Give Maeve back her heart!
21:31No.
21:32No.
21:34No.
21:35No.
21:36No.
21:37No.
21:43No.
