Short filmTranscript
00:03Today is my due date, yet my husband has locked me inside our home while I bleed.
00:09Stay here and don't go anywhere.
00:11A searing pain ripped through my belly.
00:13Blood poured from between my legs, staining the white carpet crimson.
00:16All because his first love just sent him a magic message saying she's in labor too.
00:21Ildren, I'm giving birth.
00:23Serpent's vow is so cold.
00:25Could you stay with me?
00:26He just taps his finger and gets up to leave.
00:28I think he is only going to check on her.
00:31So I beg.
00:32Ildren, please.
00:33The baby's coming.
00:35Just give me the athrelief.
00:38He stops, finally looks back at me.
00:41Picks up my athrelief.
00:44I reach out for it.
00:46But he keeps moving toward the door.
00:51Seraphina's all alone.
00:52I'm taking this to her.
00:54You're only human.
00:56You don't need something this good.
00:59Pain shovers through me.
01:01I claw at the floor, leaving deep scratches.
01:05It hurts so much.
01:06Please, at least leave me the athrelief.
01:09He turns to me, looming over, face cold.
01:11Stop acting, Elaria.
01:12The healer said your due date isn't until later.
01:14You're not giving birth today.
01:16But I'm bleeding.
01:17Look.
01:19Blood spreads across the white carpet.
01:22Don't fake it just to get my attention.
01:24No.
01:26Please.
01:27Give me the athrelief.
01:29He steps back, like touching me would dirty him.
01:31Don't get your fake blood all over me.
01:33Don't move.
01:34Stay here.
01:37He flicks his wrist and is gone.
01:39No, please.
01:41Leave it.
01:42But outside the door, he seals it with phoenix fire, permanent lock.
01:46Help!
01:47Someone please!
01:48Help!
01:49I scream, desperate.
01:51But that iron door swallows every word.
01:54Five years of marriage, and just because his first love is in labor, he snatched my only
01:58pain relief and trapped me while I bleed out.
02:00My crown flashes red, warning me I'm near death.
02:04Then I see it.
02:05The communution crystal.
02:07I'll call a healer myself.
02:09I crawl toward it.
02:11Every inch costs me.
02:13Dragging a trail of blood, I finally reach the tea table.
02:16My hand shakes as I reach out.
02:19Fingertips just barely touch the crystal and it explodes with red light.
02:23The force hurls me backward.
02:24I crash into the stone wall.
02:27Fresh blood gushes.
02:28Then Eligen's voice.
02:30Cold.
02:31Coming right out of the crystal.
02:33You faked bleeding last time too, remember?
02:35Called me back here with that little trick.
02:38You won't fool me twice, Elaria.
02:40The crystal shatters.
02:41He cut the line of communication.
02:43My belly convulses.
02:45Worse than before.
02:46The divine eggs dropping inside me.
02:48Fast.
02:50I twist.
02:51Looking for another way out.
02:52And see the window.
02:54That's my only chance.
02:57I struggle to open it.
02:58Wind and snow rush in.
03:00Flashing my face like knives.
03:01Clutching the stone railing of the balcony.
03:03I peered through the blizzard.
03:05Looking for anyone.
03:06A patrol of royal guards passing below.
03:09Help.
03:09Please.
03:10I'm bleeding out.
03:11It hurts so much.
03:13The captain spotted blood covering my hands.
03:15He spread his wings and flew up to the balcony.
03:18Queen Elaria.
03:19Where's Lord Eldrin?
03:22Hurry.
03:23Eldrin's not here.
03:25Take me to a healer.
03:26Get the Aferleaf.
03:27The captain pulls out a glowing communication crystal.
03:31Your majesty.
03:32His majesty wishes to speak with you.
03:34He opens the channel.
03:35Eldrin's half-body projection appears in the air.
03:38No one is to save Elaria.
03:41Elaria, you become quite dramatic.
03:43Even using the guards now?
03:45Eldrin, I'm giving birth.
03:47At least let the guards help me.
03:49There you go again.
03:51You honestly think this will make me leave Seraphina and come running back to you?
03:55Elaria, stop being so selfish.
03:58Something tears inside me.
04:00My wounds splitting.
04:02No time for the healer.
04:04No Aetherleaf.
04:05I drag myself to the bathroom.
04:07Open the cabinet.
04:08And inside were only a stack of towels.
04:11And a pair of scissors.
04:12No doctor.
04:14No relief.
04:15I'll have to deliver the divine egg myself.
04:17Yet Eldrin's voice keeps coming through the crystal.
04:21Admit your lie.
04:22Perhaps I'll be merciful.
04:25I'm not lying.
04:27I bite the towel.
04:28Grip the scissors.
04:29Pushing with all I've got.
04:30First push, the divine egg reached the birth canal.
04:33Still pretending.
04:35Think about your brother, Leo.
04:36He's living on my phoenix spring.
04:39Keep this up and I'll cut his treatment.
04:42Right now.
04:43Eldrion, if anything happens to Leo, I'll never forgive you.
04:47Still not apologize?
04:48Fine.
04:49Don't say I didn't warn you.
04:51I'll restore the heat when you admit your mistake.
04:54The whole temple freezes instantly.
04:57The temperature plunges to minus 10 degrees.
05:00My body convulses uncontrollably.
05:03I'm too stiff to push again.
05:05The egg is stuck.
05:07I'm freezing, about to pass out, when my best friend Lyra bursts through the window.
05:13Ellaria, I'm here.
05:20Oh god, it's even colder than outside.
05:24Lyra presses a warm magic stone against I skin.
05:26Oh no, so much blood.
05:28Ellia, let me soothe your pain.
05:30She clasps my hand and channels her power into me.
05:33The pain eases up.
05:34Warmth spreads through me.
05:36Strength slowly returns to my body.
05:38A tiny spark flickers back in my soulless eyes.
05:40I bite down on the cloth and strain harder.
05:43One more hard strain.
05:45The egg finally emerges after being trapped inside.
05:47One final strain.
05:49With a crisp crack, the egg slips out completely.
05:51But the sight immediately adds to my suffering.
05:53The shell is a dull, ashen gray.
05:55Web-like cracks run all across it.
05:56No shimmer.
05:57No warmth.
05:58Lyra lifts the egg with trembling hands.
05:59Tears dropping down onto its shell.
06:01The little one's been trapped inside you for too long.
06:04There's no heartbeat.
06:05I can't accept this.
06:06I reach for my dead child, but Lyra pushes me back down.
06:10Wait, Ellaria.
06:11I know someone who can save him.
06:14She whistles to summon a messenger owl.
06:16Go!
06:16Fetch the master healer!
06:18Now!
06:18The healer rushes in, medical bag in hand.
06:20His face is grim as he presses his palms to the shell, sensing any sign of life.
06:24Healer, can you save my child?
06:26I can call his soul back.
06:28If I do it right now, he can still come back.
06:36He raises his staff and traces a crystal formation on the ground.
06:39Then, he lights the sage and room candles.
06:42Chant with me, child of the phoenix, return.
06:46Child of the phoenix, return.
06:49We speak the words in unison.
06:50The crystal circle lifts into the air with a low hum.
06:52Deep inside the egg, a tiny light flickers to life.
06:55Come back.
06:56Come back to us.
06:57I pour everything I am into those words.
06:59The egg rises, blazing.
07:01Then the temple bell booms overhead.
07:03The crystal formation shatters.
07:05The candles snuff out.
07:06The healer's transmission rune flares at his belt.
07:08The chamberlain's voice cuts through, cold as a blade.
07:10By his majesty's command, Lady Serafina has given birth.
07:13All must report to the temple temple to celebrate this new life.
07:15Any who refuse shall be put to death.
07:17The light inside the egg gutters out.
07:19Silence returns.
07:20The healer freezes.
07:21His hands withdraw.
07:24No!
07:25Don't go!
07:25I grab his wrist.
07:26He was coming back!
07:27You saw it!
07:28He was coming back!
07:29Please!
07:29Please save my child!
07:30Your highness, I cannot defy his majesty's command.
07:32I must attend the celebration.
07:33And what about my child?
07:34He is a life, a living, breathing life.
07:37But if the father refuses to bless him, no healing will save him.
07:41Eldian.
07:41He refuses to bless his own son, yet he celebrates hers.
07:45My baby.
07:46I clutch the cold egg to my chest and weep until the darkness swallows me whole.
07:50Then, while I lie unconscious on the stones, something shifts.
07:52All the blood I've shed rises into the air.
07:54The sky tears open.
07:55A colossal crimson and gold dragon smashes through the room walls.
07:58The dracon!
07:59Ellaria, father has come to take you home.
08:01I never told a single soul.
08:02Not even Eldrin knows.
08:03I am no mortal woman.
08:04I am the daughter of the dracon.
08:05The dragon gathers my unconscious body and takes flight.
08:08In Serpent's Veil, Eldrin presses a kiss to Seraphina's forehead and his communion crystal
08:12screams.
08:13Your majesty!
08:13The dracon!
08:14It tore the chamber apart!
08:16Queen Ellaria is gone!
08:17The wine glass slips from Eldrin's fingers.
08:19It hits the floor and shatters.
08:21I wake up next to a warm pool.
08:23Massive crimson gold scales everywhere.
08:25This is the dragon heart sanctum.
08:27My father saved me.
08:29I turn instantly.
08:30The great dragon emerges from the mist.
08:32Those dark golden eyes stare down at me.
08:35Father, where's my baby?
08:36You're the ancient judge.
08:38Surely, your power can bring my baby back.
08:41The dragon spreads his wing.
08:43Inside?
08:44The dead egg?
08:45I'm sorry, daughter.
08:47The baby's phoenix soul won't come together.
08:50Not even I can bring him back.
08:52Tears hit that dead egg.
08:54The father sealed every way out with phoenix fire.
08:56Then he froze the baby's life away with that cold.
09:00Then, a letter flies in.
09:01Sealed with fire.
09:03It's from Eldrin.
09:04I look at him in the vision.
09:06Holding Seraphina's kid.
09:08Eldrin, you killed your own child.
09:10Ellaria, how dare you summon the dragon?
09:12I command you, return to the sanctum this instant.
09:16He still thinks I'm lying.
09:17He doesn't know the dragon is my father.
09:20Or I'll follow through.
09:21Cut off the phoenix spring.
09:23See how your brother survives then.
09:26My face turns pale like death.
09:29No.
09:30I grab Lyra's hand.
09:32Lyra!
09:33Elden's going to the phoenix spring.
09:35He's gonna use Leo to threaten me.
09:37Lyra's face drops.
09:39Is he insane?
09:40Leo's healing there right now.
09:42Cutting the spring would kill him.
09:43Father, I know the rules.
09:45You can't interfere too much.
09:47Even with your own kids.
09:49But Eldrin's gonna kill Leo.
09:50Please help Lyra move Leo.
09:52He can't fall into Eldrin's hands.
09:54Don't worry, Ellaria.
09:56I'll go.
09:57His massive body launches into the air.
10:00The dragon flies off with Lyra.
10:02Hurry.
10:03Hurry.
10:04My heart pounds.
10:05The pool starts churning.
10:06A bright crimson gold light bursts up from the bottom.
10:08Dragon message.
10:10Ellaria.
10:11I got to Leo before Elden.
10:13He's safe.
10:15Away from the phoenix spring.
10:21Relief floods me.
10:22I cry tears of joy.
10:24Thank you, father.
10:26I raise my right hand.
10:27A tiny flame flickers on my fingertip.
10:30That letter, the one with Eldrin's magic on it, turns to ash.
10:34I push myself up.
10:36Walk to the dragon as he lands.
10:37Father, use your fire.
10:40Cut his bloodline trace.
10:42Make it so he can never find me again.
10:44The dragon doesn't waste words.
10:46He opens his mouth and breathes out pure dark gold fire.
10:50The flame wraps around me.
10:52The phoenix mark on my wrist.
10:54Gone.
10:55From this moment on, Eldrin will never find me.
10:58Not in this world.
11:00In the side hall of the main temple, the melted iron door gets kicked open.
11:05Ellaria!
11:06You done acting out?
11:08Don't think-
11:08Elden frowns.
11:11Ellaria?
11:12Where are you hiding?
11:13No answer.
11:14He casts bloodline trace, trying to track me through the blood.
11:18A hum and fail.
11:19His face changes.
11:21Completely.
11:22I'm back in the dragon heart sanctum, holding the dead egg in both hands.
11:27Ellaria, I've prepared the ceremony.
11:31The dragon taps his claw.
11:32The pool splits open in the middle.
11:35A tomb appears.
11:37Glowing with divine light.
11:39Bury your child's ashes here.
11:40The dragon heart pool will wash away his father's sins.
11:44Guard his soul.
11:45I walk to the pool.
11:46Hands shaking.
11:47Lower the egg in.
11:49It sinks into the golden water.
11:51Ripples of soft light spread as the phoenix soul bids its final farewell.
11:56Goodbye, my baby.
11:58Back on shore, Lyra wraps a robe around my frozen body.
12:02What did that bastard do to you?
12:04Lyra.
12:05Eldrin locked me away.
12:07He chose his first love while she gave birth.
12:09Her baby lived.
12:11Mine died.
12:12I break down.
12:13He locked you up?
12:15And he has a bastard?
12:17This lunatic!
12:19I'm going to gut him!
12:20Wait!
12:21I cut his bloodline, Trace.
12:22I don't want him finding me.
12:23So what?
12:24He killed your baby!
12:26We can't just let that go!
12:28Lyra.
12:29Remember Serafina's pregnancy?
12:31Eldian left her more than twice.
12:33And while he was gone, the green-tailed viper prince stayed by her side.
12:37You're saying?
12:38Phoenix pregnancies are rarely easy.
12:40I barely survived mine.
12:42Yet hers was effortless?
12:45I get it.
12:47Tonight, I'm sneaking into her room.
12:49Your majesty, what's troubling you?
12:52Today's supposed to be happy.
12:54Our baby's born.
12:55Nothing.
12:56Just...
12:57Eldin's eyes keep drifting to the communion crystal.
13:00His mind is elsewhere.
13:02Serafina pulls his hand over.
13:04Snuggles into his chest.
13:07Tell me.
13:08What's bothering you?
13:09Eldin looks away from the crystal.
13:11Alaria's gone.
13:12I can't find her.
13:14She's just mad at me.
13:15Is she jealous because I called you here?
13:20She's just playing victim.
13:22So, will you go find her, my king?
13:26Don't worry.
13:27You're the only queen for me.
13:29Serafina smiles, all smug.
13:33This guy's so damn stupid.
13:35Lyra's hiding behind a candlestick, whispering into her crystal.
13:56The crystal shows Lyra stepping inside.
14:00There's a crib.
14:01Silk blankets inside is a glowing gilded egg.
14:05Lyra gathers magic in her hand.
14:08Reaches for the egg.
14:09Suddenly, Serafina bursts in.
14:12Which worthless bitch dares touch my child?
14:14She transforms into a nine-tailed viper.
14:17Fangs aimed right at Lyra's throat.
14:19Lyra!
14:20Lyra!
14:21I shout at the darkened crystal.
14:23Nothing.
14:24The communication screen remained dead.
14:27Then, a tear in the air.
14:29A blooded figure tumbled out.
14:33I rush to her and grab her.
14:36Lyra!
14:37What happened?
14:38She doesn't wipe the blood off her mouth.
14:40Just grabs my shoulders tightly.
14:42Lyra!
14:42I did it.
14:43Moonlight magic.
14:45I checked that bastard's bloodline.
14:46That child carries Green Serpent, not Phoenix.
14:49Eldrelin!
14:50That arrogant idiot!
14:51He killed his own baby for someone else's!
14:53It's Alavia!
14:55Alavia did this!
14:56She's trying to hurt my baby!
14:57Eldren looks at the blood on the floor.
15:00Sniffs the air.
15:01That elf friend of yours, Illyria.
15:04I warned you!
15:05Seraphina.
15:06I'll find her and make her apologize to you.
15:08Eldren shoves past the sacred tree.
15:10Then freezes.
15:11Guards!
15:12Where's Leo?
15:13King Eldren.
15:14The Judgment Dragon and a female elf took Lord Lee away.
15:18I tried to stop them, but...
15:19Eldren throws the guard against the wall.
15:21Illyria.
15:22You dare!
15:24His body blurs.
15:26Turns into a phoenix.
15:29Straight toward the Dragonheart sink.
15:41Illyria!
15:42Come out!
15:44Eldren raises his hand, feeling the magic aura.
15:47That elf again.
15:48Illyria!
15:49Get out here now!
15:50Eldren, you're too late.
15:53She's not here anymore.
15:55Liar!
15:55You're a dragon, but you have no right to hide my prisoner.
15:59Give her and Leo back!
16:00Illyria's my wife.
16:01Even if she committed a crime, I have the right to discipline her.
16:04Aldren steps forward.
16:06Phoenix's fire burning on his fingertips, pointed right at the dragon's face.
16:10The dragon just laughs coldly.
16:11His massive body shifts in the mist.
16:13She's somewhere you'll never reach in your entire life.
16:17Ha!
16:17She's just jealous.
16:18Jealous that Seraph Serena has my love!
16:21You think I don't see through your tricks?
16:24Try to hurt Seraphina and I'll make you pay.
16:28Eldren, I'm so scared.
16:30Illyria has a dragon on her side now.
16:32What if she comes after me?
16:33She wouldn't dare.
16:34She's just a human.
16:36No magic.
16:37Everything she owned came from me.
16:38Even her brother is alive because of me.
16:40She leaves me, she won't last three days.
16:43I know her little games.
16:45Three days.
16:46The Phoenix Throne Hall.
16:47We're having your coronation and making our son the heir.
16:50Really?
16:51Eldren, you're so good to me.
16:53Eldren turns away, stares out the window toward the capital.
16:57Just watch.
16:58The day of the ceremony, she'll come crawling back, begging me to forgive her.
17:03Ellen's sitting high on his golden throne, but his eyes keep drifting to the entrance.
17:08Wait.
17:09Illyria is probably hiding outside right now.
17:11She's waiting for the perfect moment to burst in and cause a scene.
17:15An arrow flies in.
17:16Elfin make.
17:17A rolled up parchment tied to it funks right into the armrest of the golden throne.
17:21The royal guards indently raise their weapons.
17:24Illyria, there you are.
17:25Still trying to get my attention.
17:28Still so dramatic.
17:29Elden unrolls the parchment.
17:30That smug smile freezes on his face.
17:33By dragon's judgment, Selphina's child is not Phoenix blood.
17:36It's Green Snake.
17:38My king, that's fake.
17:40Illyria and the elves made it up.
17:41Seraphina keeps her face neutral, still trying to lie her way out.
17:44Elden's hand shoots out, grabs her throat, lifts her off the ground.
17:48Seraphina, nobody fakes a dragon's message.
17:51Tell me, right now, whose child is that?
17:53Fine, Eldren.
17:54It's not yours.
17:55You stupid man.
17:57I only wanted your Phoenix Flame gem.
17:58No, no, that's not true.
18:00Ellaria, Ellard here, explain this.
18:03Elden, three days ago, the only child you'll ever have in this world, you killed him with
18:07your own hands.
18:09No, you're lying.
18:11You're still lying.
18:13Our child was a divine heir.
18:14No way he died that easy.
18:17You hate me, don't you?
18:19This is revenge.
18:20You're just trying to hurt me.
18:24Phoenix King, stop lying to yourself.
18:28Three days ago, I personally had the funeral for that dead egg.
18:32That was your only blood.
18:37No, that's not...
18:38Wait, there's more, Eldren.
18:41Perhaps you should see what happened that day.
18:43I throw out a shattered crystal fragment.
18:46A massive screen lights up in the air.
18:48There I am, covered in blood.
18:50Clawing at the window, begging the guards for help.
18:53No, that's not me.
18:55Eldren's shaking his head.
18:57Crazy.
18:58Ellaria, I didn't know.
18:59I thought you were lying to me.
19:01He lunges at Seraphina.
19:02Seraphia, she did this.
19:04That bitch.
19:05Eldren tackles Seraphina, fingers locked around her throat.
19:08Slams her into a marble pillar.
19:10You told me Ellaria was faking last month.
19:12Painting herself with fake blood.
19:14You used secret magic to fake a phoenix blind.
19:17Made me come to Serpentval.
19:19You killed my son-
19:20Eldren's body explodes with phoenix fire, out of control.
19:23Seraphina's skin starts sizzling.
19:26Let's go!
19:27Her eyes roll back.
19:29But then, a flash of vicious hatred crosses her face.
19:32Bang.
19:33Her legs rip apart into one thick green snake tail.
19:36Slams Eldrick across the room.
19:38The next second, Seraphina's upper body expanded rapidly.
19:42A hundred meter long serpent, crawling down from the throne.
19:46Betray me?
19:47You died for that!
19:51Eldren opens his mouth.
19:53Fire erupts.
19:54A red hot net of flames drops over the giant snake.
19:57Wraps around her.
19:59The smell of burning flesh fills the air.
20:01Seraphina whips around.
20:03Sinks her fangs into Eldren's shoulder.
20:05The poison hits.
20:06Eldren's screaming.
20:08The flesh around the wound turned black.
20:10His phoenix fire flickering out.
20:12Seraphina breaks free from the fire net.
20:15Tries to run.
20:16Not this time.
20:17I stepped directly into her path.
20:19An elven short sword gleamed in my hand.
20:22Come on, you bitch!
20:24Seraphina's massive snake head twists around.
20:26Her jaws gape wide and lunge for me.
20:28I dodge her forked tongue and drive my blade deep into her side.
20:31I run along her coiled length, stabbing with every step.
20:35I carve off rows of green scales with my blade.
20:38Rotten serpent blood smacks the ground in thick, stinking sheets.
20:44Seraphina thrashes across the floor in agony and collapses back into her half-human, half-serpent form, battered and broken.
20:50She lies slumped in her own blood, then fixes her eyes on me and lets out a rasping, twisted laugh.
20:54Elaria, so what if you win?
20:56Your little brother.
20:57I shattered his spine with my own hands!
20:59My whole body locks up.
21:01The sword in my hand starts shaking.
21:03What did you say?
21:04Seraphina coughs up blood, glaring at me with pure venom in her eyes.
21:07He deserved it!
21:08Creeping around at night like that, he walked in on me and Eldrian together.
21:11That's what your kind gets for sticking your nose where it doesn't belong!
21:14All this time, I thought it was an accident that he fell from a tree.
21:21The thread holding me together snaps.
21:24I will kill you!
21:27I curl my short blade aside, reach back, and yank a spear from the guard behind me.
21:32I grip the shaft with both hands and drive it straight at Seraphina's heart.
21:36For the first time, I see fear flicker in her eyes.
21:38The spear tip is about to pierce her heart, when she whips out her tail and slams me away.
21:42Ha!
21:43Pathetic human!
21:44You will never defeat me!
21:46She shifts back into her giant serpent form.
21:48Her massive tail cuts through the air with a venomous gust and smashes me across the hall.
21:52I go flying.
21:53My body slams into the golden throne.
21:54Ellaria!
21:55I'm coming!
21:55Lila draws her bow and fires straight at the serpent's eyes.
21:58But black light erupts from Seraphina's scales.
22:00The arrow shatters mid-air and the four-le-back into a stone pillar.
22:03Too worthless little insect today!
22:06Seraphina slithers toward me, relishing every second.
22:08I wipe the blood from my mouth.
22:09I plant my spear into the ground and force myself back onto my feet.
22:12For my child!
22:13For all the pain you've caused us, I will die fighting right here.
22:15Come on then!
22:16For my child!
22:17For Leo!
22:18I grip my spear and charge.
22:20Seraphina's jaws open wide.
22:21Venom sprays.
22:22Just as her mouth is about to swallow me whole, something snatches me up into the air.
22:26A colossal claw, crimson and gold, slam Seraphina into the ground.
22:29The drachon stares down at her, eyes burning like dark gold.
22:33You dare lay a hand on my daughter?
22:36Then die!
22:42What?
22:43Seraphina thrasses.
22:46That bitch Aladia is the drachon's daughter?
22:49The drachon looks down at Seraphina, thralling beneath his claw.
22:51I, grand inquisitor of the sacred realm, strip you of your divine form.
22:55Be what you truly are.
22:57No!
22:57I refuse!
22:59Seraphina screams, shrill and desperate.
23:02Under the drachon fire, her hundred-meter serpent body shrinks in an instant, collapsing
23:06into a tiny snake.
23:07Fall into the abyssal, Marr.
23:09Burn in eternal fire.
23:11The drachon's sweep's rift tears open in the ground, and Seraphina is swallowed into
23:15the void.
23:16In the corner, the serpent infant, pulsing with green magic, convotes violently, twisting
23:20into a deformed monster spawn.
23:22A vile spawn.
23:23It deserves death.
23:24The dragon claw crushes it in one squeeze.
23:26Illaria, it is over.
23:28Let us go home.
23:30The drachon lowers his head and reaches his great claw.
23:32I nod.
23:33I'm about to climb onto his back.
23:38Illaria, come home with me.
23:42A hand grabs my ankle.
23:44I turn around.
23:46It's Ellen.
23:47He's been playing dead this whole time, but now his eyes are open.
23:51Eldrin kneels in the pool of filth and blood, his hand clamped tighter of my ankle.
23:54Illaria, don't go!
23:55You're not leaving!
23:56Black blood pours from his mouth.
23:58The gaping wound in his chest, where the spear punched through, is still bubbling.
24:01Bastard is dead.
24:02Seraphina's cost into the abyss.
24:03You are still my queen.
24:05I look down at him.
24:06Let go, Eldrian.
24:07It's all over now.
24:08We can start again.
24:10You are still my phoenix queen.
24:11Go first, Eldrin.
24:13Then we'll talk.
24:14A flicker of smug satisfaction crosses his eyes.
24:17I let go, and then you come home with me, Illaria, like a good wife.
24:21He stands up and grabs my hand, ready to drag me away.
24:25I draw my blade and press it against his throat.
24:28I said, let go.
24:29He stares at my sword in disbelief.
24:32Illaria, you dare raise a blade against me?
24:34Three days ago, you sealed that door with your own hands.
24:37You cut off my escape.
24:38You killed my child.
24:39And then you used Leo to threaten me.
24:40Whatever we had, you ended it the moment you sealed that door.
24:42But Eldrin has no shame.
24:44Not a shred.
24:44That was a misrestanding it.
24:45Seraphina deceived me.
24:46Wake up, Eldrin.
24:47Every choice was yours.
24:48What do you want?
24:49I'll give you another child.
24:49I'll give all the water from the phoenix spring to your brother.
24:51Let go.
24:52I will never let go.
24:56I drive my blade into his hand.
24:59He cries out and crumples to the ground.
25:02You refused us to forgive me?
25:04Fine.
25:05I'll wait right here.
25:06One day.
25:07Ten days.
25:08I'll wait until you turn back to me.
25:10Illaria, look outside.
25:12It's been days.
25:13He's still there.
25:15Rain is coming down in sheets.
25:17Eldrin pounds his fists against the sealed doors of the Dragonheart Sanctum.
25:20Over and over.
25:21Illaria, come out and face me.
25:22His voice rips through the storm.
25:24Poor, shredded, barely human.
25:26I stand inside the hall, watching him through the crack in the doors.
25:38Your majesty, the poison is spreading through your body.
25:41Please go back.
25:42Soaked to the bone, Eldritch stands in the downpour.
25:44The flesh on his shoulder eaten away by the serpent's malice has turned black.
25:48Back off.
25:49Eldritch kicks his attendant aside.
25:50Illaria, please.
25:52One more chance.
25:53I cannot live without you.
25:54Come home with me, please.
25:56I look at the ruin of a man outside my door.
25:58His face ravaged.
25:59A madman I no longer recognize.
26:01Illaria, you came.
26:03Finally.
26:04He gets to his feet.
26:05He walks towards me, slow, unsteady, and reaches out his hand.
26:08I was wrong.
26:09I was wrong.
26:09Forgive me.
26:10Please.
26:12I cut my finger with a blade.
26:14I take his hand.
26:16I, Illaria, daughter of the Drakon, sever my marriage bond with Eldrin, king of the phoenix.
26:20It is done.
26:20Eldrin clutches his chest.
26:22The divine severation backlash tears through his soul.
26:25No, Illaria.
26:26Do not sever our bond.
26:28From that day on, Eldrin descends into madness.
26:31He becomes a ruin of a man, draped in rags, kneeling every day at the doors of the Dragonheart Sanctum.
26:38Illaria, please.
26:40Marry me again.
26:41If you take me back, I'll cut out my own heart and give it to you, please.
26:46A line of royal guards drops to their knees behind him.
26:50Eldrin ignores them.
26:51Illaria, I was wrong.
26:54Please come see me.
26:55The captain rises to his feet, frantic.
26:58Your majesty, the phoenix flame is dying.
27:02The entire kingdom is on the verge of collapse.
27:05Please return and save your people.
27:08Without her, I am already falling apart.
27:11He spins around and seizes the captain by the collar.
27:16You want me to go back and be king?
27:18Then who will be my queen?
27:19Only Alasia.
27:21Only with her by my side does being king mean anything.
27:24Without her, let the phoenix kingdom burn to ashes for all I care.
27:28Illaria, come back with me.
27:31What he doesn't know.
27:33I left the Dragonheart Sanctum long ago.
