00:00:01Get those banners hoisted! Straighten the garlands!
00:00:04Bring the wine to the guests, now!
00:00:09Today's a blessed day, the old gods are smiling on us!
00:00:20Whose wretched carriage is this?
00:00:22Have you any idea what day it is?
00:00:24You're blocking Lady Isabella's path on her wedding day!
00:00:27Bring me Alistair.
00:00:29You dare speak his name? You're not fit to breathe the same air!
00:00:34I am Morgana. I have come to collect what is mine.
00:00:43I'll fetch him right away!
00:00:49Sixty years. You've had my eyes. Now I want them back.
00:00:53A grand day. My daughter marries a prince.
00:00:57My lord! My lord!
00:01:00Control yourself.
00:01:02A woman at the gates. She says her name is Morgana. She demands to see you. Now.
00:01:11Morgana.
00:01:14Forgive me. I didn't know you were coming.
00:01:17House Alistram is yours. Show us mercy.
00:01:20My lord, you are a duke. You kneel to no one but the king.
00:01:24One more word, and I'll cut it out myself.
00:01:28My lady. Please.
00:01:31My lady. Please.
00:01:47Mind the steps, my lady.
00:01:53The sky turns.
00:02:04Sixty years ago, I broke myself into twelve embers.
00:02:11The throne was secured. It is time.
00:02:20To reclaim them all.
00:02:25My lady, please. Rest inside. I will bring it to you myself.
00:02:29It is exactly where you left it, my lady.
00:02:32Untouched.
00:02:34You give it up so easily.
00:02:36It was never mine to keep.
00:02:37You know what it built. Your entire dynasty.
00:02:41Hundreds years of power.
00:02:43Titles.
00:02:44The crown's favour.
00:02:45The gift of seeing into men's hearts.
00:02:48Without it, you are nothing but a blind man stumbling in the dark.
00:02:52The blood covenant my grandfather sworn binds every generation after him.
00:02:56House Alistair owes you everything it has. And everything it is.
00:03:01You have my word. I will honour the pact. Willingly.
00:03:06The old man bred well. An obedient heir.
00:03:16Since when does my father kneel for peasants?
00:03:20The iris ember, my lady.
00:03:24A covenant is a trade. I take back what is mine.
00:03:27And I leave you one truth.
00:03:30The old laws demand it. Ask your question.
00:03:35My lady.
00:03:37In a few days, Isabella weds the crown prince.
00:03:40I need to...
00:03:42I need to know what waits for her.
00:03:44You want to know if she lives.
00:03:46Without my ember watching over her.
00:03:49What her crown will cost.
00:03:51Yes. Please.
00:03:52Tell me her fate.
00:03:54Bring the girl to me.
00:03:57Mother.
00:03:58The night before my royal wedding,
00:04:00some blind woman in funeral rags walks into our home.
00:04:04And father knelt for her.
00:04:06Tell me the truth.
00:04:08Is she one of his lowborn mistresses?
00:04:11Crawling here to beg for coin?
00:04:13If we allow that woman to stand in our halls,
00:04:17without putting her on her knees,
00:04:18she will believe she belongs here.
00:04:22And we cannot have that.
00:04:24Then let's remind her how this house treats beggars.
00:04:32I assumed we were hosting royalty for my husband to grovel so.
00:04:39To greet you himself, I simply had to see who...
00:04:42How did you do?
00:04:51How did you do?
00:04:52Magana, was it?
00:04:53You are a guest in my halls.
00:04:56Drink.
00:05:01Your wine, my lady.
00:05:03A blind witch.
00:05:06This shall prove to you.
00:05:17I told them to boil it.
00:05:19Doorish vintage.
00:05:21Pity it turned to vinegar.
00:05:23Masked with...
00:05:24heavy spice.
00:05:26Poured from the rot,
00:05:28at the bottom of your cellar.
00:05:30Is this...
00:05:31How House Alistair hides its decay?
00:05:33How could she possibly smell that?
00:05:35She knows.
00:05:36How could she know?
00:05:37You insolent wretch!
00:05:40Keep your filthy mouth!
00:05:45By his wits alone did Lord Alistair survive.
00:05:48Isabella, your gown!
00:05:50A tragedy.
00:05:51His bloodline rots with you.
00:05:54How dare you!
00:05:55My husband may tolerate your delusions,
00:05:58but I will not!
00:05:59You just assaulted the future crown,
00:06:01Christess!
00:06:02By royal decree,
00:06:03you will kneel,
00:06:04and you will bleed for it!
00:06:05She is a fool.
00:06:07You are worse.
00:06:09Even the gods of the underworld
00:06:10have yet to see me kneel.
00:06:14Why would you?
00:06:16We shall see.
00:06:19Guards!
00:06:19Take her!
00:06:24And break her legs.
00:06:26Do it!
00:06:31Seize her!
00:06:33Seize her!
00:06:48Stop!
00:06:49Stop this at once!
00:06:51Fools!
00:06:53Fools!
00:06:56Morgana!
00:06:57They know nothing!
00:06:59They acted out of turn!
00:07:01Spare them!
00:07:02I beg of you!
00:07:04Alistair!
00:07:05Father!
00:07:06Both of you!
00:07:07You blind arrogant fools!
00:07:09She chose restraint!
00:07:11Or you would already be ashes upon this floor!
00:07:14On your knees!
00:07:16Beg for your lives!
00:07:19I bow to no one!
00:07:20I am the future crown princess!
00:07:23I will wear the crown!
00:07:25I will rule this realm!
00:07:29I am a queen!
00:07:31She is just a-
00:07:32I am a queen!
00:07:35She is just a-
00:07:36A pity.
00:07:39No crown rests on a dead woman.
00:07:44You will die before the wedding bells ring!
00:08:02No!
00:08:04You!
00:08:05Get out of my house!
00:08:07Silence your tongue!
00:08:10Morgana, please!
00:08:11How do we stop this?
00:08:13Call off the royal wedding.
00:08:16Break betrothed.
00:08:19Or...
00:08:20She dies.
00:08:30The royal escort led by the obsidian guard.
00:08:33Commander Cedric himself.
00:08:35The reaper of the realm.
00:08:43The prophecy is written.
00:08:49And the king's edict?
00:08:59Commander Cedric, you heard the prophecy.
00:09:02If Isabella rides to the palace today, it will be her funeral.
00:09:07The crown commands this union, Lord Alistair.
00:09:11My escort is already at your gates.
00:09:14You dare defy the throne over cheap parlor tricks?
00:09:17And break the royal contract?
00:09:20Unless...
00:09:20And break the royal contract?
00:09:21Unless...
00:09:22You doubt my ability to keep her breathing.
00:09:26No, Commander.
00:09:28Your blade is legendary.
00:09:29Your tactics flawless.
00:09:31The king trusts no other.
00:09:32She is safe with you.
00:09:35But...
00:09:36Morgana has seen it.
00:09:37She is our only hope.
00:09:40Alistair.
00:09:41The king's patience is not infinite.
00:09:43Do not humiliate us for a blind witch.
00:09:45The crown's wrath will burn this castle to the ground.
00:09:49I will not let you ruin us.
00:09:52She is right, Father.
00:09:53I am perfectly safe with the commander.
00:09:56Have the carriage ready.
00:09:57I will fetch my veil.
00:10:04Isabel!
00:10:05Isabel!
00:10:06Let her go.
00:10:07The hour is set.
00:10:09My debt shall be claimed when the blood runs dry.
00:10:22I am ready, Father.
00:10:24The crown is mine.
00:10:26Our legacy begins.
00:10:29My daughter.
00:10:31Our ultimate masterpiece.
00:10:35Lock it down!
00:10:36Double guards!
00:10:37Kill anything that moves.
00:10:39Nothing.
00:10:39Touch that carriage.
00:10:41Are we clear?
00:10:41Crystal clear, Captain.
00:10:42Consider it done.
00:10:44You're wasting men.
00:10:47The prophecy is spoken.
00:10:49The bride won't survive this journey.
00:10:52I am never wrong.
00:10:53Enlighten me then, Oracle.
00:10:55Give me a name.
00:10:56How exactly does she die?
00:10:59Give me real intel.
00:11:01Do that, I might believe you.
00:11:03Seeing the end requires a price.
00:11:05A transaction.
00:11:07I see the blood.
00:11:08The question is...
00:11:10Can you afford it?
00:11:12There it is.
00:11:14The classic shakedown.
00:11:15We always get here.
00:11:16Just a beggar.
00:11:17I could watch the Duke's daughter in her wedding dress.
00:11:20Perfectly protected by your elite guards.
00:11:23Ride straight to her execution.
00:11:25Let me ride with your convoy.
00:11:27Take me.
00:11:29I'll prove you wrong.
00:11:35Play the prophet.
00:11:36Watch her cross those gates alive.
00:11:41I'll feel the blood.
00:11:45Bring the oracle a horse.
00:12:15The
00:12:34Take them to the Iron Court.
00:12:36I want a name.
00:12:37Yes, Commander!
00:12:45Thank the gods Cedric was here.
00:12:48We're safe.
00:12:50He earned his coin.
00:12:54You fight well, mortal.
00:12:57Pity it changes nothing.
00:12:58I do not guess.
00:13:02The grave is dug.
00:13:04The hour is here!
00:13:05Step forward, future Empress!
00:13:14Isabella, my love, finally.
00:13:21No!
00:13:22God!
00:13:31The prophecy.
00:13:32She knew.
00:13:34How?
00:13:35She was right there!
00:13:37The prophecy is fulfilled.
00:13:39Her blood is spilled.
00:13:41You killed my daughter!
00:13:43Your daughter's death was a tragedy.
00:13:45Eleanor, don't provoke her.
00:13:47Look at the carriage!
00:13:48The doors were sealed!
00:13:50Who else could bypass those locks?
00:13:52Enough!
00:13:53Seal the gates!
00:13:54Nobody leaves this yort yard!
00:13:56You're all suspects!
00:13:57Take them to the Iron Court!
00:14:04We're alone.
00:14:05Just tell me the damn truth.
00:14:07How did you reach inside a moving, heavily guarded carriage and take her head without a single
00:14:13sound?
00:14:14You mapped out her execution beforehand.
00:14:17Fine.
00:14:19Say you didn't swing the blade yourself.
00:14:23But you orchestrated this.
00:14:27If that comforts you, you may use it.
00:14:33I see the threads.
00:14:35Every drop of blood before it falls.
00:14:38The end is written.
00:14:40You're just walking the path blind.
00:14:43Cut the riddles.
00:14:44You're in my cell now.
00:14:48If you see everything, then what happens next?
00:14:52Does the blade slip?
00:14:54Does the steel bite?
00:14:55Or maybe I'm just sick of your games and slit your throat right now!
00:14:58Did you see that?!
00:15:03A seer is blind to her own end.
00:15:06That is the only law I obey.
00:15:09Then tell me how this ends.
00:15:12But you cannot kill me, Cedric.
00:15:17Let's put that to the test.
00:15:20Steel cannot touch me.
00:15:25By drawing it on me, you owe a deadly debt.
00:15:28Madness.
00:15:29I serve the crown.
00:15:30I don't fear witches.
00:15:34Still believe in hard facts, Commander?
00:15:38Commander!
00:15:39We have a situation.
00:15:40The prisoners from the ambush, sir.
00:15:42They took poison.
00:15:44Hidden in their teeth.
00:15:45They're all dead.
00:15:46Trails cold.
00:15:48Dead?!
00:15:48You let our only witnesses die in chains?!
00:15:51They were paid to die.
00:15:52They'd never talk.
00:15:54They'd never talk.
00:15:54You want the true killer?
00:15:56Stop asking the living.
00:15:58They only lie.
00:15:59I'll make the dead speak.
00:16:07You said you could make the dead speak.
00:16:09Name your price.
00:16:11There's always a price with you.
00:16:13Always.
00:16:14Name it.
00:16:15Whatever closes this investigation.
00:16:18I want your absolute obedience.
00:16:22When I speak, you do not question.
00:16:25When I point, you do not hesitate.
00:16:27My loyalty is to the crown.
00:16:29I don't give blind trust.
00:16:31I have the killer.
00:16:33If you put the murderer in front of me, then you have my trust.
00:16:38Don't make a vow you can't keep, Commander.
00:16:41You have my word.
00:16:42I won't break it.
00:16:48Take this.
00:16:49Sew her head back on.
00:16:51You want me to mutilate a royal corpse?
00:16:53Every second you wait, she fades.
00:16:59Her soul is bleeding out.
00:17:03It's done.
00:17:05What now?
00:17:06Open the doors.
00:17:09Bring them all.
00:17:10The grieving father.
00:17:12The weeping mother.
00:17:14Bring the prince who lost his bride.
00:17:17We are going to hold a court of our own.
00:17:25Isabella!
00:17:26My baby!
00:17:27Oh God!
00:17:29Hold her back.
00:17:29Don't let her touch the body.
00:17:31Let me go!
00:17:31That's my daughter!
00:17:33Why is she here?
00:17:34Why is that blind woman in the judge's seat?
00:17:38Commander Ashworth!
00:17:39She killed her!
00:17:40She cursed my daughter and you let her sit there!
00:17:43His Royal Highness Prince Kale!
00:17:47Isabella!
00:17:48Let me through!
00:17:49Isabella!
00:17:50No.
00:17:51Look what they did to you.
00:17:52My beautiful girl.
00:17:54The audience is here.
00:17:56Let the performance end.
00:17:59Flesh to thread.
00:18:02Bone to command.
00:18:05Rise.
00:18:11You demanded proof, Commander.
00:18:14Behold the truth.
00:18:16You wove the crimson soul thread yourself.
00:18:19The bond is forged.
00:18:23Ask her.
00:18:25Isabella Alastom.
00:18:27Is your killer here?
00:18:29Another diamond is lost.
00:18:32Woman lacksmana.
00:18:32Who 거셔야 does not find
00:18:53Keep that thing away!
00:18:54She's bewitched!
00:19:01The crown is ours, father.
00:19:04The crown is ours, father.
00:19:18Edmund Aliston.
00:19:24Now confess.
00:19:30Edmund Aliston. Do you confess?
00:19:33I confess to nothing!
00:19:36You sick witch! You killed her! You puppeted her corpse to frame us! He took you in. You repay us
00:19:45with blood!
00:19:46This is madness! A father doesn't slaughter his own blood! Isabella was my pride! Why would I destroy my own
00:19:56future? See the truth!
00:19:58His own blood, that's true. But what if that girl was never your blood at all?
00:20:07Eleanor, why did the Emperor betroth Isabella to Prince Kael?
00:20:11It was destiny!
00:20:12The Emperor declared it. They were born the exact same hour. Blessed by the gods.
00:20:21Wait! It's impossible! Edmund, tell me you didn't!
00:20:28I had to secure our bloodline.
00:20:34Give me the child I must see. Tell the truth! Is it a boy?
00:20:39A girl, my lady.
00:20:41A girl? No! You're lying!
00:20:44A daughter. Just as I said.
00:20:47Why me?
00:20:51The consort is waiting. If it's a boy, I'm ruined!
00:20:55Breathe, my lady. Panic is a luxury we can't afford. Duke Alistair has already arranged a solution.
00:21:02Bring the bundle inside. Now.
00:21:07Look closely. Pure Alistair blood. A flawless son. Yours, if you dare.
00:21:16A son!
00:21:17From now on you are mine. The true heir of this house. My son. My heir.
00:21:45You're telling this court I'm Duke Alistair's son?
00:21:49No. No. No, no.
00:21:52I am the Crown Prince!
00:21:57It can't be.
00:21:58How could my husband do such a thing?
00:22:01This is treason!
00:22:03What could he possibly want to risk all our lives?
00:22:06What did he want?
00:22:07Your son, sitting on the throne. That's what he wanted.
00:22:14You need proof to make such claims.
00:22:16This dark sorcery proves absolutely nothing.
00:22:19Lord Alistair, if I had to guess, the moment the Emperor degreed Isabella's marriage,
00:22:25you realized if she entered the royal court, the Crown would eventually discover her secret.
00:22:29So you hired a pack of mercenaries to stage a bandit raid on the carriage.
00:22:33But Morgana's warning put my guard on alert.
00:22:35You feared with extra men your hired killers wouldn't be able to finish the job,
00:22:39so you killed your own daughter before she left.
00:22:41And as for your loyal servants, they break much faster than paid assassins.
00:22:45Commander!
00:22:46Commander Ashworth!
00:22:47Lord Alistair's personal guard, they've confessed to everything.
00:22:49The signed confessions.
00:22:51They admit the Duke ordered them to silence Isabella before she even left.
00:22:59My entire life of scheming, all crushed by fate's cruel hand.
00:23:07The eye you granted us gave House Alistair absolute power.
00:23:12Unmatched wealth.
00:23:14Unmatched glory.
00:23:15But the Emperor still stood above me.
00:23:17Until that day, when I saw...
00:23:23I saw...
00:23:28I saw the truth.
00:23:30If my son took the cradle, he'd rule the world.
00:23:35But the vision didn't end there.
00:23:38I saw the flaw that would kill us.
00:23:40The decree.
00:23:41The royal wedding.
00:23:43If Isabella entered that palace, he would see my daughter.
00:23:49He'd see the exact face of the young Empress.
00:23:53He's not blind.
00:23:55He'd know exactly what I did.
00:23:58I had no choice!
00:23:59You must see that!
00:24:01I had to cut the rot out.
00:24:03I had to protect my family!
00:24:06My son will be Emperor!
00:24:08I had to!
00:24:13Morgana, I confess it all.
00:24:15Punish me alone.
00:24:17I beg you, look at me!
00:24:18Remember my father's loyalty!
00:24:21Spare my wife!
00:24:23He's lying!

00:51:14i would have taken the burden on myself
00:51:16i swear it
00:51:17but the healer's grace
00:51:18it binds only to the women
00:51:20it rejected me
00:51:21it was never my choice
00:51:22we kept her fed
00:51:24kept a roof over her head
00:51:25she owed this family her service
00:51:27it was her duty to bleed for us
00:51:30a lie
00:51:31i forged the healer's grace
00:51:33i wrote its laws
00:51:35it does not choose by blood or gender
00:51:37it chooses by the will to sacrifice
00:51:40it rejected you
00:51:41because it looked inside your chest
00:51:43and found nothing at all
00:51:45you let a child wither in your place
00:51:48and called it fate
00:51:49you said you wished to carry the burden
00:51:52you wanted the ember's power for yourself
00:51:55you wanted it all
00:51:58very well
00:52:02let us see
00:52:04how much of it you can bear
00:52:09very well
00:52:36no get off me
00:52:38i am the lord of this
00:52:42No!
00:52:44No!
00:52:56Every year he stole from Maren.
00:52:59They just ripped it back.
00:53:19Maren! Can you hear me? Look at me!
00:53:25You... you came back.
00:53:29You're breathing. I watched you stop. I thought you were gone.
00:53:34You're shaking. Your birthday is soon.
00:53:38I still owe you bread and broth.
00:53:40I'll make it myself. Just don't close your eyes again. Promise me that.
00:53:46Her face still carries what the years cost her.
00:53:49But the thirty years Aldric took from her have been stripped from his bones.
00:53:54They're hers now. Her hand is healed. The debt is paid.
00:53:58She will never serve in the dark again. She lives. The transaction is complete.
00:54:07Oracle. You didn't owe us this. I will carry this mercy until my last breath.
00:54:18You gave my sister back her life. My life is no longer my own.
00:54:23It belongs to you. Every breath I draw belongs to your cause. I am your shield.
00:54:28Your blade. Point me at your enemies. Wherever you walk, I walk with you. Until my blood runs cold.
00:54:35I am your shield. I am your shield.
00:54:42Remember your oath.
00:54:56The Hartman Shard. It's time it returned to you. You took another piece of your power straight into yourself.
00:55:03Will you absorb this one too?
00:55:05Whiff...
00:55:09Whiff...
00:55:10Whiff...
00:55:12Whiff...
00:55:35Please! Help us! Have mercy!
00:55:43Talk to me. Did the exorcism drain you? Are you hurt?
00:55:48I am not hurt. When I pulled the Hartman Shard from your sister, I absorbed 30 years of her memories.
00:55:54Every single day she spent trapped in that house. There's an echo now. A pressure in my chest.
00:56:01You have a rule. You reclaim a piece of your power. You owe the bloodline one truth. One ember. One
00:56:07question.
00:56:09Maren gave her whole youth to keep me alive. She never got to ask her question.
00:56:15Maren.
00:56:16So I'll ask it for her. Look into your prophecy, Morgana. Did my sister's sacrifice mean anything? Tell me.
00:56:24Your sister asked what waits for you in the north. I didn't lie to her, so I'll tell you exactly
00:56:29what I saw.
00:56:31There is a line drawn across your fate. A terminal point. If you follow me to Ironwall, if you walk
00:56:38into Ravencrest at my side, you will stand before someone and bleed until there is nothing left. And you will
00:56:44die. That is the end of it.
00:56:46In front of who? Who do I bleed for?
00:56:50Me. Knowing this. Knowing that every step north is a step towards your own grave. And you still want to
00:56:59come with me. Forget it. It doesn't matter.
00:57:04You are ordered to stay behind. I walk into Ironwall alone. I don't need a shield.
00:57:10I swore an oath to you. I stand between you and whatever comes. I'm going.
00:57:21I told you how this ends. Are you not afraid?
00:57:26I lead the Obsidian Guard. I have walked into the dark more times than I can count. Every time, they
00:57:34said I wouldn't walk out. Every time, they said the odds were broken. And I am still standing here. Let
00:57:42them come. I will survive it, and I will walk you out of Ironwall myself.
00:57:57I am Cedric Ashworth, commander of the Obsidian Guards. Hold the gates.
00:58:01Gods. They're here. Fall back. Bar the gates.
00:58:09Go on, mate.
00:58:18I am Cedric Ashworth.
00:58:19Ring of Steel. Protect Morgana.
00:58:29Ash to Ash.

01:13:05Morgana
01:13:06may I ask you one question
01:13:12what did you want to ask?
01:13:17all these years
01:13:19alone in the dark
01:13:24were you alright Morgana?
01:13:39you won't touch her
01:13:42I was fine
01:13:49that is good
01:13:54you won't touch her
01:14:08you won't touch her
01:14:29The witch.
01:14:42So, this is the death you saw from me.
01:14:46You are never wrong.
01:14:48So, Morgana, it seems I won't be here to help you take back what is yours.
01:15:13Morgana, I make no grand claims, but I swear I will help you take it all back.
01:15:37Monster.
01:15:38Monster, you godless monster!
01:15:52This world is sick.
01:16:02Finn, why would you do this?
01:16:06My brother, he died because the crown, because the crown never sent reinforcements.
01:16:13He bled out in the snow.
01:16:16And ever since then, I haven't seen you smile.
01:16:20Not truly.
01:16:21I was so close.
01:16:24Just a little more than I could have taken you away from this prison.
01:16:32You foolish boy.
01:16:36Frostfire is now prison.
01:16:38Look at the people behind these walls.
01:16:40The thousands we pulled from the slaughter.
01:16:42The soldiers I trained with my own hands.
01:16:45Every block of black stone, every frozen inch of the north, holds my blood.
01:16:51Nothing has ever trapped me.
01:16:53This is the line I chose to hold.
01:16:56Frostfire is my home, Finn.
01:16:58And I will defend it.
01:17:00Until I break.
01:17:04I thought...
01:17:05I thought you hated the crown.
01:17:08I only wanted to break your chains.
01:17:16I do hate the crown.
01:17:18But I love the north.
01:17:19I love our people.
01:17:21I am holding this line for your brother.
01:17:23So the children here.
01:17:25So my own daughter can sleep without fear of the slaughter.
01:17:29So it was just me.
01:17:31I was the only one who couldn't let go.
01:17:36Take me away.
01:17:38I will.
01:17:39I'll take you south.
01:17:41I want to sleep beneath the roses.
01:17:56Why the Frostfire?
01:17:57Why Thorn Ravencrest?
01:17:59My youngest student.
01:18:01Still breathes.
01:18:02I need to see him.
01:18:05And the Ravencrest piece of the crown.
01:18:07What is it, exactly?
01:18:08A drop of my own blood.
01:18:10The Undying Spark.
01:18:12Your blood?
01:18:13No wonder your skin is like ice.
01:18:15Morgana.
01:18:16How did you lose your eyes?
01:18:18Sixty winters ago.
01:18:20The realm was drowning in its own blood.
01:18:23To buy them a dawn.
01:18:25I offered my own flesh and soul.
01:18:28I stripped everything away.
01:18:31Bound it to the obsidian.
01:18:33Twelve fragments.
01:18:34Given to twelve disciples.
01:18:37To save this world.
01:18:39Sixty years have passed.
01:18:41My students took that power.
01:18:43And forged twelve great bloodlines.
01:18:46And now, there is peace.
01:18:49Now I take back what is mine.
01:18:52Morgana.
01:18:53What else are you missing?
01:18:54You never change your boots.
01:18:56I've never seen you eat.
01:18:58Or sleep, for that matter.
01:19:01Your hair turned white.
01:19:02Silence.
01:19:11Morgana.
01:19:13I will help you get it all back.
01:19:17Every last piece.
01:19:19You have my word.
01:19:22No matter what it takes.
01:19:25No matter what it takes.
01:19:26No matter the cost.
01:19:33Sixty years ago.
01:19:34To buy this realm a breath of life.
01:19:38I gave my own flesh and soul to the forge.
01:19:41No attachments.
01:19:43No desires.
01:19:45I told you to run.
01:19:47But of course.
01:19:49Fate demands its due.
01:20:00Would you still draw your blade for me?
01:20:03Knowing it will only lead to your grave.
01:20:05I am going.
01:20:06I've commanded the vanguard for years.
01:20:09I've faced death more times than I can count.
01:20:13But I have never lost.
01:20:15And I will not lose this time either.
01:20:50My lady, forgive me.
01:20:54Assassins!
01:21:10This...
01:21:10Southern blood magic.
01:21:12They say one puppet butchers ten men.
01:21:15And I tore them apart before they could even blink.
01:21:17I feel like I could rip through solid iron.
01:21:20You were bleeding to death.
01:21:22No medicine could save you.
01:21:24So I bound a fraction of my shard to your fading heart.
01:21:27Tethered your life to mine.
01:21:28With my power in your veins, no mortal man can stand against you.
01:21:33You could have run.
01:21:34You chose to stay.
01:21:37You accepted my gift.
01:21:40From now on, you are bound to my will.
01:21:43Are we clear?
01:21:46So I am no better than these husks?
01:21:48I'm just your puppet?
01:21:51Do not compare yourself to such pathetic trash.
01:21:55They are nothing like you.
01:22:00You...
01:22:01You are my masterpiece.
01:22:05Hmm.
01:22:14That shard of the crown was torn from my own veins.
01:22:20A single drop of my heart's blood.
01:22:25I never thought you would waste such a priceless piece of yourself on me.
01:22:29I never thought I'd even be alive.
01:22:32My lady, you always said your prophecies are absolute.
01:22:35Never wrong.
01:22:36To give me the shard.
01:22:37To force me to live.
01:22:39Isn't this defying the gods themselves?
01:22:41Taking the heart back was a mistake.
01:22:50Morgana.
01:22:52Farewell.
01:22:54Be wary.
01:22:56Without the primordial crown's shard, the horde will show no mercy.
01:23:01I know the risks.
01:23:02But I command this gate.
01:23:04Shard or no shard.
01:23:06The Ravencrest will hold this line.
01:23:09To the last breath.
01:23:13The horde is at our walls.
01:23:15I ride with the vanguard.
01:23:16Godspeed.
01:23:21Hyah!
01:23:22Hyah!
01:23:30Why didn't you tell her about the warding spikes you planted?
01:23:34The wards are nothing compared to the primordial blood still boiling in their veins.
01:23:40They will survive.
01:23:44What's happening?
01:23:45Are you alright?
01:23:46I feel a disturbance.
01:23:47A forbading sensation.
01:23:50I have looked ahead.
01:23:51I wish I had not.
01:23:53The road before us is dark, Cedric.
01:24:11We must push forward.
01:24:12Wherever you go, I will follow.
01:24:15Where to next?
01:24:17South.
01:24:18To the Scarlet Lands.
01:24:20I want to meet the fool who thought they could kill me.
