The King Lost To My Unborn Son - Ep
Transcript
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 Worf King. My second brother, Vulcan Ember, the Wifen King.
00:12My third brother, Alfath 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.
00:33Mayev, 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. Mayev, she's trying to
00:52steal 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 me
01:03grovel. My baby was dying inside me, barely holding on.
01:08Mayev'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 Mayev. 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, Mayev. Do you truly give up on returning home?
01:51I made up my mind, guardian spirit. I want to go home. Then your mortal form in this world
01:56must 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, Mayev. What the hell are you doing? An arrow hits the shard and knocks it out of
02:12my hand. Before I can even move, Edric charges. His claws sink into my skin as he pries me
02:18down. Wanna die? No fucking way. Cassandra is not healed. Your life belongs to her. I
02:24saved it for her. Yeah, he saved my life once. But it wasn't for Cassandra. Years ago, I got
02:29so sick I was almost dead. My soul was about to drift back to my own world. Edric cut his
02:34own neck and 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, Mayev. Vulcan gazes at Cassandra sprawled on the grass, his eyes
02:53full 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
03:02gift I had left. Alphador had snatched it right off my neck with his claws and soared
03:06away. Cassandra's fragile. Just let her have it. I'll buy you another one later.
03:11Later, when she fell ill, I stood over a hot stove for hours brewing medicine for her
03:15despite my heavy, pregnant belly. But the moment she drank it, she slammed the bowl aside
03:20and threw herself into my husband's arms. Mayev's potion? It hurts my heart even more?
03:26Is she trying to steal my-
03:31I get it. You're pregnant. You're emotional. You need the nutrition. But this-
03:36Silas threw me to the ground. My brothers forced me to my knees, making me beg her for mercy.
03:41The memory snaps away. I'm back in the present, and Edric's hand is still choking the life out
03:47of me. Because of Cassandra, they've twisted every beautiful memory we ever shared into
03:52something ugly. I'm leaving.
03:56Leaving?
03:59I've been way too soft on you, Mayev. 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 blood!
04:12Edric shifts with a sickening crack into his massive war form. His heavy tail whips around
04:17my waist, lifting me up and slamming me onto his back. He lets out a deafening howl and
04:22charges 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
04:31going
04:31home. My jaw sets. My eyes turn to ice. I let go of his mane, throw my weight sideways, and
04:37plunge
04:37straight down into the abyss of the canyon.
04:40Mayev!
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
04:57the old memories taste a little sweeter. I roll midair, spreading my arms to welcome the
05:02end. But the brutal end of it is. Instead, I slam into a broad, powerful back. It's Edrent.
05:08He caught me before I could hit the canyon floor. His massive tail wraps around my waist,
05:12lowering me onto the ground. The giant wolf shifts back into his human form.
05:17You've got some nerve, Mayev! Try to weaponize your own death just to get your way!
05:25The jagged stones slice into my bare feet, but I don't say a word. I just stare past him.
05:30What, nothing to say? Can't even bother to make a stupid lie this time?
05:34Listen, even if you're hell-bent on dying, you are not dragging Silas' unborn child down with you!
05:41I'm not trying to threat you at Edric. I'm leaving. Permanently.
05:46I promise you, you aren't going anywhere!
05:50He lets out a piercing wolf cry. The sun goes dark as Vulcan swoops down in his massive wyvern
05:54form. Before I can react, Edric hauls me onto the wyvern's back and pins my arms from behind.
06:00Let's see you try to escape now.
06:04The wyvern kicks off the ground, launching us into the sky like a rocket.
06:09Let me go! I'm leaving!
06:13Vulcan's wyvern form insanely fast. In a matter of seconds, we slam down onto the stone courtyard of the High
06:19Temple.
06:20Edric yanks me off the rough, scaly high. The moment Vulcan shifts back into his human form,
06:25he storms right into my face.
06:27Maeve, you've completely lost your mind! How dare you thrash around like that on my back!
06:34If I had lost control a mile high, you would have killed us all!
06:38Don't waste your breath on her. Get her into the temple and begin the extraction now.
06:43Before she destroys my child too.
06:45I look at their faces, and for a second, the world blurs.
06:50The last time they surrounded me like this was my birthday last year.
06:54May this wolf fang protect you forever, my sweet Maeve.
06:58Forged from my own scales, may you always be strong.
07:02The brightest jewel for our only treasure.
07:05May you never want for anything.
07:06I brewed this honey sweet elixir just for you.
07:09It will ensure our baby is born safely.
07:11Back then, they made me the happiest woman in the Mythos Realm.
07:19We're doing the procedure right now.
07:23Activate the Altum. Begin the extraction.
07:28No!
07:29I let out a gut-ranking scream.
07:31Then everything goes black.
07:33I feel Edric's ritual knife slice open my chest.
07:35Vulcan rips the pure unicorn heart right out of me.
07:38My husband carries Cassandra over and lays her down right beside me.
07:41Alfred guides my heart towards Cassandra and fusing it into her chest.
07:44The fusion is flawless.
07:45Cassandra is saved.
07:46Quick!
07:47Take Cassandra's discarded failing heart.
07:50And force it into Maeve.
07:54My body doesn't want your garbage.
08:01Maeve!
08:02Maeve!
08:05Maeve!
08:06Accept the heart!
08:07Now!
08:09I got the heart in!
08:11Wake up, dammit!
08:13Do you hear you hear me?
08:14This is impossible!
08:16Unicorns have the strongest life force in existence!
08:18How can her body just refuse the bond?
08:22My soul drifts higher, hovering on the edge of life and death.
08:25I am so close to leaving these men forever.
08:28Honey!
08:31Maeve, look at me!
08:32Open your eyes!
08:33Please!
08:35Don't fight the heart!
08:37Take it!
08:37Come back!
08:39Stay here!
08:40Guardian spirit, please, take me home.
08:44There is nothing left for me here.
08:46Just let me go back.
08:52They all press down on my chest together, desperately fighting to drag my rising soul back and down.
09:02In all that chaos, I didn't die.
09:04Instead, the dead, lifeless baby has finally left my body.
09:08Oh god, she's breathing.
09:09Maeve, you are so damn stubborn!
09:11How could you pull a stunt like that on the divine altar?
09:13I'm so sorry, baby.
09:15If you need to blame someone, blame me.
09:17We did everything we could, but the surgery just didn't work.
09:20We couldn't save the baby, but don't worry.
09:22You're alive.
09:23We'll have more kids, I swear.
09:25It's only the loss of a child.
09:27As long as you rest and recover, I promise I'll use the finest elixirs to nurse you back to health.
09:34Only the loss of a child?
09:36It was all an accident, Maeve.
09:37If you're hurting, just blame me.
09:39Put it all on me.
09:41Didn't die.
09:42And now I get to listen to them cover up the whole thing.
09:46As if I, a unicorn, can't feel the difference.
09:59Maeve!
10:00What the hell are you doing?
10:05Accident?
10:06The surgery failed?
10:07Then why is the heart in her chest glowing with pure unicorn white light?
10:19Maeve!
10:19Let her go!
10:21Cassandra, you want to tell me that heart in your chest isn't mine?
10:24Maeve, why are you blaming Cassandra?
10:26She almost died from a heart attack.
10:28Someone gave her a heart to save her life.
10:30Oh, so here's the thing.
10:32My heart is cracked to pieces.
10:34But Cassandra's heart?
10:36Shining bright white.
10:37And you're saying I'm just making up reasons to blame her?
10:41Maeve, look, we...
10:43Right.
10:43Sure.
10:44Maybe my heart just happened to go bad during the surgery.
10:47And she just happened to get a heart that glows like a unicorn.
10:50It just happened.
10:52Maeve!
10:56Maeve, I brought you some sacred water from the griffins.
10:59Drink it, you'll get your strength back.
11:01I close my eyes.
11:03Done hoping.
11:05After he leaves, I get up and head to Cassandra's room.
11:08All gold and glitter.
11:10I climb onto her bed.
11:12Push down hard on the mattress.
11:14Try to choke the life out of her.
11:22Maeve?
11:23What are you doing in here?
11:24I went to your room and you were gone.
11:25You shouldn't be running around like this.
11:27Where is she?
11:28She...
11:29She just went for a walk in the garden.
11:30She just had surgery.
11:32And she's walking?
11:33She said...
11:33The room felt stuffy.
11:35Needed fresh air.
11:37You...
11:38You haven't drank the water I gave you.
11:40Go back and drink it, okay?
11:41Be good.
11:44I see him wave his hand.
11:46Guards and servants swarm around me.
11:48After that, I'm like a puppet.
11:49They force-feed me.
11:51Watch me so I can't end things myself.
11:53God, I just want to go home.
11:55One time, the maids step out to job.
11:57I crawl to the window, ready to jump.
12:02Cassandra!
12:05Maeve!
12:06I 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?
12:21How many times do we have to tell you?
12:24Your heart was never swapped!
12:25Maeve just went through childbirth.
12:27It hit her hard.
12:27We need to give her time.
12:29Fine.
12:30You stay home and rest.
12:31We're taking Cassandra to the forest.
12:33Silas, come with me.
12:34You promised you'd take me to that place in the forest, remember?
12:36I should stay at the castle with your sister.
12:39She's...
12:39If Cassandra wants you to go, then go.
12:41But I wait all night in my room.
12:43No one comes.
12:45Not the cave.
12:47That place in the forest?
12:50I'd like to see what tricks you're up to.
12:55Silamis, come on.
12:57Again.
12:58Easy, babe.
12:59You just got the new heart.
13:00You can't handle that much yet.
13:02You promised me.
13:03Once my heart was fixed, you'd give me what I want.
13:06Break the bond with her and do it with me instead.
13:08You're not backing out, are you?
13:10Baby, I'll give you everything.
13:11But we still need Maeve to keep giving you blood.
13:14Otherwise, you'll reject the heart.
13:18Oh, Silas, you're mine forever.
13:20Say you love me.
13:21You're so amazing, Cassandra.
13:24So you've been planning this together all along.
13:27Well, now I don't want to die so fast.
13:32Maeve?
13:33What are you doing here?
13:37You bitch!
13:39What are you doing?
13:40Maeve!
13:41What the hell is wrong with you?
13:47What's wrong with me?
13:48My husband is naked in a cave with my sister.
13:51You tell me who's crazy here.
13:55Last night, there was a thunderstorm in the forest.
13:58Cassandra got scared.
13:59We hid in the cave.
14:01I'm sorry, Maeve.
14:02I was so scared last night.
14:04We didn't do anything.
14:10Cymus had too much wine.
14:11That's all.
14:12It's no big deal.
14:13I've stayed in caves with Cassandra when she was scared before.
14:16What about you?
14:18Got anything to say?
14:20Yeah, Maeve.
14:21Cassandra's pure by nature.
14:22She wouldn't do anything wrong.
14:24Want me to play back what they've done last night?
14:27All of it?
14:28For you, brothers?
14:31Silomus.
14:31Silomus.
14:32My heart.
14:34I can't breathe.
14:37Cassandra!
14:41You're throwing a fit out here just to make Cassandra sick again?
14:46Fine.
14:47You can donate blood to save her.
14:52You wanted my blood.
14:53You wanted my heart.
14:55Now take my life.
14:57I am done with this world.
15:01No.
15:01That's not possible.
15:03It was just a blood draw.
15:04Why would you do this?
15:05Why would you do this?
15:07Why?
15:08Move.
15:09Let me.
15:10Let me.
15:14Maeve.
15:15I won't let you die.
15:17You hear me?
15:22Take her to the main Divine Ultra.
15:24The High Elder can save her.
15:26Yes, the High Elder.
15:27We need the High Elder.
15:41Don't waste your effort.
15:43What do you mean?
15:46The 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.
16:09You brought that demon into this house!
16:11You give me shut your mouth!
16:13It was Alfred!
16:14He suggested swapping Maeve's heart!
16:17Me?
16:17Edric was the one always saying Maeve was lying!
16:20And none of you forced her to repent?
16:27Simus, where did you guys go?
16:29While you were gone, Maeve hit me!
16:32Maeve blamed me for making her lose all that blood.
16:36It hurt so much, brothers.
16:39Silas, 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.
16:50I'm the one who took her heart.
16:52It's only fair she gets to blow off some steam.
16:55But Maeve is right here.
17:01Maeve never lied.
17:04And 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.
17:18She can die with Maeve!
17:25My name is Maeve, and I have a message for every god and every citizen of this realm.
17:29My three brothers, Edric, Vulcan, Alfard, 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.
17:41Take the heart first.
17:43Hurry.
17:43Put Cassandra's bad heart into Maeve's body.
17:46Oh my god!
17:47Is 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!
17:56It protects the entire city!
17:57These men are absolutely disgusting!
18:00We still need Maeve to keep giving you blood.
18:03Once 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!
18:16Murdering your own family is even worse!
18:18We're gonna confront them!
18:28Monsters!
18:29Murderers!
18:30Give 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.
19:02You 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.
19:37I'm the real liar.
19:48Oh no!
19:49Oh no!
19:49Oh no!
19:54Oh Maeve!
19:55How could you leave us so suddenly?
19:58My heart is really breaking here!
20:00Silas!
20:00Why did you bring her?
20:04I brought her here to confess.
20:06To apologize.
20:08If she hadn't stirred things up,
20:09we never would have ended up like this.
20:14Maeve!
20:15I'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,
20:29I 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.
20:43Cassandra,
20:45put away your sick little thoughts.
20:48Big Brother?
20:50What are you talking about?
20:55Aaaaaah!
21:06Aaaaaah!
21:08Aaaaaah!
21:09Big Brother,
21:11why
21:11aren't I your favorite?
21:14Shut up!
21:14You lying swan!
21:17You're still trying to trick me?
21:19Give Maeve back her heart!
21:21Yeah,
21:22give it back.
21:24That'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!
21:32No.
21:33No.
21:34No.
21:35No.
21:36Aaaaaah!
21:39No!
21:41Aaaaaah!
21:43No!
21:45No!
21:46No!
21:52No!
21:57No!
22:05Maeve! Don't go!
22:08Let go.
22:09No! I'll never let go again!
22:12Maeve, do you remember when you first came home? You couldn't even speak our language!
22:17Every night I stayed with you, teaching you word by word. We made a promise to stay together forever!
22:29Maeve, this is all my fault! Stay! I'll take you flying again. You used to love that, didn't you?
22:40Please, Maeve. I'll give you gems. I'll give you everything. Whatever you want, okay?
22:51Here, Maeve. Take it out on me. Make me suffer everything you suffered!
23:08Bed 36. Maeve. Wake up. Any family here?
23:18No cold surgical knife. My heart's beating steady.
23:23I rip the IV out of my hand and stumble into the bathroom.
23:30The girl in the mirror looks pale, but her clothes are clean. She's wearing normal clothes.
23:35Go home.
23:36My golden retriever comes running, tail wagging, licking my hand.
23:39I wrap my arms around his furry neck and collapse onto the wooden floor by the door.
23:44Is this real? Am I really back?
23:48Clear. Not bloody tears.
23:53But then I shiver. That suffocating feeling of those four men dragging me back into that muddy grave.
23:58I step outside again.
24:05Maeve, your heart looks great. All your blood work is normal. You're in excellent health.
24:08But doctor, I felt my heart being carved out. I felt all my blood being drained.
24:12Was that really just a hallucination? A nightmare?
24:15You've probably been under a lot of stress. Severe schismatic pymdoms.
24:19Your body created real physical pain.
24:21But I can promise you, you're completely safe.
24:24Get some rest.
24:25I go home and start searching online.
24:28Then my eyes catch something.
24:29A hidden encrypted page.
24:34Got it.
24:35Mythos Realm Explained.
24:37The mysterious contact on that encrypted website claims she also escaped from the world of fantasy beasts.
24:44Are there other survivors in this world?
24:46Who is she?
24:49Sandy?
24:52Sitting across from me is my twin sister.
24:54The one who went missing years ago.
24:56Sandy?
24:58Maeve.
25:00It's me.
25:06It took me ten years to claw my way out of that swamp.
25:10You got out in five.
25:14The more we talk, the more she tells me.
25:17Everything about that world.
25:19We went through the same thing.
25:20Abandoned by our parents' kids.
25:22Used and dumped by our boyfriends.
25:24And because we were so desperate to be loved,
25:27we fell into that world.
25:28But what exactly is that place?
25:30How did we get there?
25:34The Mythos Realm.
25:35It's a world our guardian spirit created.
25:38Out of obsession.
25:41We're back in our world now.
25:43But as long as the connection isn't completely broken,
25:46we're back in our world now.
25:48But as long as the con-
25:56Then what do we have to do?
25:58How do we break it for good?
26:03I'm sorry, Maeve.
26:05I don't know.
26:06I don't know.
26:06My guardian spirit warned me once.
26:08That world never fully disappears.
26:11If the people in there are desperate for us to come back,
26:14that obsession turns into a curse.
26:16It haunts us forever.
26:17I don't believe that, Sandy.
26:19There has to be another way.
26:20The next few days, I drag my sister everywhere.
26:23We find other people with similar stories.
26:25But every single answer,
26:27from ancient mediums to other world researchers,
26:29is the same kind of hopeless.
26:31That kind of soul-deep connection?
26:33You can't cut it.
26:34That very night,
26:35a strange white light floods my bedroom.
26:37The guardian spirit walks to my bedside.
26:41Those four men in the mytho realm still want me.
26:44Their obsession is screaming for you to go back.
26:47My chest explodes with pain.
26:50No warning.
26:51Sweat pours down my face.
26:53It feels like a thousand red-hot wires
26:56twisting inside my heart.
26:58I curl up on the floor.
27:00They're still calling you.
27:02You gotta go back to that world.
