00:00:25Today, Avalon ends this.
00:00:29That dragon dies!
00:00:56Master, are you hurt?
00:01:00Where is Aldrich?
00:01:09Need a hand, Master?
00:01:13Are you going to let it kill me?
00:01:15Not a chance.
00:01:20No!
00:01:22No!
00:01:25No!
00:01:25No!
00:01:33No!
00:01:35No!
00:01:38No!
00:01:39No!
00:01:44No!
00:01:48Master, aren't you going to praise me?
00:01:52There's your praise.
00:01:54Now pack your things.
00:01:56Leave the Isle, go to the mainland.
00:01:59Why? Because I was late and a bit too pleased with my magical gift?
00:02:04Because you're ready.
00:02:07Over ten years ago, I brought you back to the Isle of Avalon.
00:02:11Your grandfather's death has been haunting you ever since.
00:02:13Now that you've become the best mage the world has ever seen, you should go to find the truth.
00:02:22Master.
00:02:25Also, this is the marriage your grandfather arranged for you.
00:02:29When you go back, do not forget to fulfill the betrothal.
00:02:33What? I have a fiancƩe.
00:02:39Lady Ellora Aldwyn.
00:02:48State your business.
00:02:51I'm looking for Duke Aldwyn.
00:02:53Yeah, you and every bregger in the kingdom.
00:02:55Scram.
00:03:02You're Aldrich.
00:03:03That's me.
00:03:04I've been waiting for you.
00:03:07Follow me.
00:03:17Someone's cursed this place.
00:03:26After I break this engagement, I'll warn them.
00:03:29Consider it my compensation.
00:03:39My lady, the boy is here.
00:03:42No manners.
00:03:45You want one?
00:03:49I came to see Duke Aldwyn.
00:03:51Where is he?
00:03:52His lordship isn't available to just anyone.
00:03:56Whatever you have to say, you can say it to me.
00:03:58Fine.
00:03:58Works for me.
00:04:06So, you've come about the betrothal.
00:04:09Yep.
00:04:10House Aldwyn has stood for over a hundred years.
00:04:14In wealth and status, we are the greatest family in this town.
00:04:19Like the chair you're sitting on, it took two million gold to build, reserved only for the
00:04:25head of House Aldwyn alone.
00:04:27Do you understand what I'm telling you?
00:04:30Your house is wealthy.
00:04:32For generations, our marriages have been between equals.
00:04:36Different stations, different births.
00:04:38Earths, it only ends badly.
00:04:40To make it clear, House Aldwyn cannot marry its daughter to a penniless beggar.
00:04:45I'm here to break the engagement.
00:04:48But I didn't expect House Aldwyn to look down on people like this.
00:04:52Fine.
00:04:53Saves me the trouble of explaining.
00:04:55Here is two million in gold.
00:04:59Take the money.
00:05:00Leave my daughter.
00:05:02Go as far away as you can.
00:05:08Two million.
00:05:09Your house truly is wealthy.
00:05:11What?
00:05:11You want more?
00:05:12I'll write you a note for three million.
00:05:15Ten million.
00:05:16Boy, don't be ungrateful.
00:05:19Greed will be your ruin.
00:05:20You might not live to spend it.
00:05:22I don't want any of this money.
00:05:29And the marriage?
00:05:30I'm the one calling it off.
00:05:34Duke Aldwyn won't let this go.
00:05:36Maybe I'll have to talk to him later in person.
00:05:37My lady.
00:05:39Should I find someone to deal with you?
00:05:43No deaths.
00:05:45Just teach him a lesson.
00:05:47Make sure he leaves the town.
00:05:50Yes, my lady.
00:05:57Let's go.
00:06:28Grandfather, about the marriage, I meant to go to House Aldwin and cancel it.
00:06:34But the Aldwins were so arrogant, I taught them a small lesson.
00:06:40But no matter how this ends, I'll repay Duke Aldwin's kindness. I know you two were close.
00:06:46Stuart Marcus says make it clean. Kill the boy. Ten thousand gold each.
00:07:03Don't blame us, kid. You crossed the wrong people.
00:07:09Who?
00:07:22What the?
00:07:32Talk. Who sent you?
00:07:35No one. No one.
00:07:37You want to go back in the water?
00:07:42It was Stuart Marcus who sent us.
00:07:45So afraid of me marrying into the family.
00:07:47Get out of here.
00:07:51Young man, mercy is a virtue. You did the right thing letting them go.
00:07:55Good sir. Thank you for saving me.
00:07:58You could see my spell. Young man, you're more than meets the eye.
00:08:03And children who honor their elders are rare these days.
00:08:10Good sir. You have a shadow curse on you.
00:08:14If you don't treat it soon, it will destroy you from within.
00:08:18You know healing magic?
00:08:22You know healing magic?
00:08:24A little.
00:08:25Can you cure me?
00:08:26Sure.
00:08:27Please sit.
00:08:28I'm going to use Avalon needles to cleanse your curse.
00:08:49The shadow assassin has come for me. I can't protect you. Go!
00:08:54Good sir. Focus on your healing. Leave this one to me.
00:08:58This is between me and Silas. Walk away. I'll let you live.
00:09:03Shut up. I've been wanting to see what the infamous shadow magic has become.
00:09:08You're asking for death.
00:09:19My rims. They're broken. Who are you?
00:09:22A mage from Avalon.
00:09:24He killed a shadow assassin with one strike.
00:09:27Avalon magic lives up to its reputation.
00:09:30Good sir. You're cured.
00:09:34I've been wounded for nearly ten years.
00:09:37I've seen every healer in the realm. All of them failed.
00:09:41Then you show up. One treatment.
00:09:44And the pain is gone.
00:09:47This is the legendary Avalon needle art?
00:09:50Yes. I learned this from my master Theron.
00:09:54Your master invented these root stones.
00:09:56Let's anyone in the kingdom talk to each other, no matter how far apart.
00:10:00Take it. I've made a link between your rune stone and mine.
00:10:04Next time you're in trouble, just say my name into the stone. I'll appear.
00:10:09I've always wanted one.
00:10:11Master Theron never allowed.
00:10:13Thanks, sir.
00:10:15I'll see you around.
00:10:20You drove Aldrich away. Both of you.
00:10:25Father, what are you talking about?
00:10:28What's wrong?
00:10:29Ask your wife.
00:10:31Ask her what she's done.
00:10:33What happened?
00:10:35How could our daughter marry some penniless island boy?
00:10:39Father, Isolette isn't wrong.
00:10:41How could a penniless boy match our house's standing?
00:10:44You fool!
00:10:46Peniless has any family not known poverty.
00:10:53Has House Aldrich never known poverty?
00:10:56You drove Aldrich away.
00:11:00You'll regret this.
00:11:03Find him.
00:11:04Find him now.
00:11:06If you don't bring Aldrich back, you can forget about being heir.
00:11:18Aldrich!
00:11:19Do I know you?
00:11:19It's Tessa.
00:11:20You disappeared for 12 years and that's all you have to say.
00:11:23Do I know you?
00:11:2412 years and you still hug just as hard.
00:11:26You deserved it.
00:11:27Where have you been?
00:11:28We thought you were dead.
00:11:28I'm on a remote island, studying with my master.
00:11:31Studying what?
00:11:32How to be a hermit?
00:11:33Something like that.
00:11:35Oh, and Duncan, he's the steward at a tavern now.
00:11:38He's going to lose his mind when he sees you.
00:11:40But first, you need new clothes and a haircut.
00:11:45As steward, zero tolerance, zero mistakes.
00:11:49Get it fixed.
00:11:51Now.
00:11:54Duncan!
00:11:59No way.
00:12:03You son of a...
00:12:09You grew.
00:12:11You actually grew.
00:12:12And you got presentable.
00:12:15What happened to the scrawny kid who cried when he scraped his knee?
00:12:18He grew up.
00:12:22Barely.
00:12:24Where the hell have you been?
00:12:26Remote island.
00:12:27Studying with my master.
00:12:28Studying what?
00:12:30Duncan.
00:12:31Aldrich just came out of the isle.
00:12:33We need to take care of him in town.
00:12:36Don't worry, Aldrich.
00:12:37As long as I have food on my plate,
00:12:40you'll have some too.
00:12:43We'll be brothers for life.
00:12:45When I make it,
00:12:46I'll never let you go hungry.
00:12:51Thanks, Duncan.
00:12:53Don't mention it.
00:13:01Tessa!
00:13:02Lily!
00:13:03What are you doing here?
00:13:04I came here to drink with my friend from the academy.
00:13:07All elites.
00:13:08Upper class of the town.
00:13:10Oh, what a coincidence.
00:13:11I forgot you just got into the town academy.
00:13:14I should introduce you to them.
00:13:15This is Lady Alara Aldwin of House Aldwin.
00:13:27Lady Alara is so beautiful.
00:13:31Our Alara is the most beautiful girl in town.
00:13:34Everyone knows that.
00:13:36Don't call me Lady Alara.
00:13:37I'm one year ahead.
00:13:38Call me sis.
00:13:39Or just Alara.
00:13:41And if anyone gives you trouble at the academy, you tell me.
00:13:45Thank you, sis.
00:13:48And this is Sir Godfrey.
00:13:50Hair to the Merchant Guild.
00:13:52And this is Sir Percival.
00:13:53Hello.
00:13:56And this...
00:13:57I've got no titles.
00:13:59Professional island dweller.
00:14:01So...
00:14:01You're just a commoner.
00:14:04Since Tessa is Lily's friend, why don't we all drink together?
00:14:09Duncan will have your finest room.
00:14:12Hmm.
00:14:13Fine with me.
00:14:14Alara.
00:14:15Fine.
00:14:16Come, Tessa.
00:14:17I'll tell you about the academy.
00:14:20Go.
00:14:21Have fun.
00:14:22I'll be here with Duncan.
00:14:24I'm fine.
00:14:26You're coming too.
00:14:28Him.
00:14:29Nobles don't share air with commoners.
00:14:31Especially not one from whatever flea-bent island he calls home.
00:14:36Tessa is from my academy.
00:14:39Sir Godfrey's letting you come as a favor.
00:14:42Then count me out.
00:14:44If my friend isn't good enough for your table, neither am I.
00:14:47Enough.
00:14:48Either we all go or nobody goes.
00:14:50We're here to have fun.
00:14:52Not to measure status.
00:14:54My unknown betrothed.
00:14:55Has a spine.
00:14:56Good to know.
00:14:59Fine, fine.
00:15:00More people, more fun.
00:15:09A toast.
00:15:15New friends.
00:15:17Let's take out runestones and make links with each other.
00:15:21Hey, commoner.
00:15:23You first.
00:15:27I don't know how to make a link.
00:15:32You don't know how to use a runestone?
00:15:35Never needed one.
00:15:37He just got to town.
00:15:39Leave him alone.
00:15:40It's fine.
00:15:41First time for everything.
00:15:42Take out your stone.
00:15:44I'll teach you.
00:15:45Bold of you to assume he has one.
00:15:51What is that?
00:15:52A pebble?
00:15:55So small and plain.
00:15:56Did they make this specially for peasants?
00:15:58I like it.
00:15:59It was a gift.
00:16:00Here's the deal.
00:16:02You play the drums for us.
00:16:04Sing one of those Yahoo tunes from your little island.
00:16:06I'll buy you.
00:16:08I'll buy you the best rude stone gold can buy.
00:16:10Deal?
00:16:10Play, play.
00:16:12Stop it.
00:16:18Don't think you can take Taina just because she's nice to you.
00:16:21Hillbilly.
00:16:22You playing or not?
00:16:24Give me back my stone.
00:16:26This junk.
00:16:27I could buy ten of these and not feel it.
00:16:36You couldn't afford to replace it.
00:16:38Friend, watch your mouth.
00:16:41You're not my friend.
00:16:43You ungrateful brat.
00:16:45Sir Godfrey treats you with respect.
00:16:47And you will see blood today.
00:16:52You dare curse me.
00:16:56Lively in here.
00:17:05Pretty girl.
00:17:07What do you want?
00:17:08Can't you see this is a human's party?
00:17:11Come with me.
00:17:11You'll serve my lord.
00:17:13Big bags of gold.
00:17:15Who the hell are you?
00:17:18You're asking who I am.
00:17:20You heard me.
00:17:21I'm the heir of House Percival.
00:17:23Now get lost while you still can.
00:17:25Look at Sir Percival.
00:17:27Now that's a real man.
00:17:29Standing up to rude, violent orcs.
00:17:33Not like some people.
00:17:35Cowards.
00:17:36Are you going to get lost or not?
00:17:46I hate it when people point fingers at me.
00:17:56You ask who I am.
00:17:57Who am I telling me to get lost?
00:17:59Blood.
00:18:00Blood.
00:18:01That peasant was right about the blood.
00:18:02Still asking who I am.
00:18:06I won't ask.
00:18:08I won't ask.
00:18:09I won't ask.
00:18:10Sir Godfrey.
00:18:11Help me.
00:18:12Friend.
00:18:13You've barged into my room and hurt my people.
00:18:16That's not right.
00:18:16And who the hell are you?
00:18:18I am Sir Godfrey.
00:18:20My father is Lord Godfrey, head of the Merchant Guild.
00:18:23He's friends with some of the best mages in the kingdom.
00:18:26Even from Avalon.
00:18:27You don't want to start a war between two races.
00:18:30I believe.
00:18:31So, why don't you show some respect and let us have fun?
00:18:35The Merchant Guild.
00:18:37Lord Godfrey.
00:18:39Best mages in the kingdom.
00:18:41Avalon.
00:18:43Yes.
00:18:44Barely.
00:18:45I'll give you that much.
00:18:48But I'm not finished.
00:18:50Your friend.
00:18:52I can let him go.
00:18:55But this girl.
00:18:57She comes with me.
00:18:58My Lord doesn't take no for answer.
00:19:06No.
00:19:07She's not going either.
00:19:11Are you sure?
00:19:13I don't know where you're from.
00:19:14But in this room tonight, you're not taking anyone.
00:19:17Which young Lord is so important that...
00:19:27I can't even take someone away.
00:19:33Baron Rathburn.
00:19:34I...
00:19:34I didn't...
00:19:36These the ones?
00:19:37They're the ones who stopped me.
00:19:40So you're the Merchant Guild's young Lord.
00:19:43Baron Rathburn.
00:19:44If I'd known it was you...
00:19:46If you'd known it was me...
00:19:47What?
00:19:48You would have kissed my boots.
00:19:51Who is he?
00:19:53Baron Rathburn.
00:19:54He runs the underground world.
00:19:56Those orcs are his mercenaries.
00:19:58He hires them for the dirty work.
00:20:01So what?
00:20:02Sir Godfrey has the whole Merchant Guild.
00:20:05Shut up.
00:20:08Smart boy.
00:20:10The girl.
00:20:11She comes with me.
00:20:14Not a word, boy.
00:20:16Not one.
00:20:18No.
00:20:19You're not taking her.
00:20:22Then I'll take you instead.
00:20:24Baron Rathburn, she's...
00:20:25You speak again.
00:20:27I cut out your tongue.
00:20:33Take both women.
00:20:36Don't come closer.
00:20:38Stay back.
00:20:42Today.
00:20:44None of you are taking anyone.
00:20:50Who said that?
00:20:55Here's your chance.
00:20:57Everyone in your crew kneels.
00:20:59Apologizes to Tessa.
00:21:02Then this whole thing is over.
00:21:12You have no idea who you're talking to.
00:21:16No.
00:21:17But I know that if you don't kneel and apologize...
00:21:21That leg is mine.
00:21:23You're insane.
00:21:24Sir Godfrey couldn't handle this.
00:21:25And you think you can?
00:21:26You're going to get us all killed.
00:21:28He's right.
00:21:29Don't drag us down with you.
00:21:30Baron Rathburn.
00:21:32We don't know him.
00:21:33He's nothing to us.
00:21:35Aldrich, this isn't your fight.
00:21:37I've got it.
00:21:37Please take care of Tessa for me, Lady Alara.
00:21:40You still don't know who you're talking to.
00:21:45I don't know.
00:21:46And I don't care.
00:21:48But that leg...
00:21:49It's mine.
00:21:50You're dead, little man!
00:22:01Rawr!
00:22:11No wonder you're so cocky.
00:22:14You're a fighter.
00:22:16Aldrich, careful.
00:22:18Rathnith is not a quitter.
00:22:20Here's your chance.
00:22:21Get on your knees.
00:22:22Say you're sorry.
00:22:24Maybe...
00:22:24Maybe I'll let you walk out.
00:22:26That's what I should be saying to you.
00:22:27You heard him.
00:22:28Get him!
00:22:39I want to know who's causing trouble in my tavern.
00:22:46Who's that?
00:22:47Lady Raven.
00:22:48She runs this place.
00:22:50Baron Rathburn.
00:22:52What brings you here?
00:22:54Raven.
00:22:55Long time.
00:22:56Saw a girl I liked in your place.
00:22:59Can't sleep without her.
00:23:01What do you want me to do, huh?
00:23:02That girl doesn't work for me.
00:23:04Don't make this difficult.
00:23:06Then you take her place tonight.
00:23:08How about that?
00:23:11And if I say no...
00:23:13Then give me your tavern.
00:23:14The shares.
00:23:16Let me run it.
00:23:17You want my little business?
00:23:18Fine.
00:23:19No problem.
00:23:20Really?
00:23:22But I'm not the only owner.
00:23:24Let me talk to Count Valerius.
00:23:26If he agrees, it's yours.
00:23:29Count Valerius.
00:23:31But I'm not the only owner.
00:23:32Let me talk to Count Valerius.
00:23:35If he agrees, it's yours.
00:23:37Count Valerius.
00:23:38Go ahead, lady.
00:23:39In this town, no one.
00:23:42Shut up!
00:23:47Raven.
00:23:48No need to bother the old man over something this small, right?
00:23:52Forget it.
00:23:53Matter's settled.
00:23:54Oh, thank the gods.
00:23:55She helped us.
00:23:56Then go.
00:23:58Slowly.
00:23:59I won't see you out.
00:24:02Let's go.
00:24:05I didn't say you could leave.
00:24:13What did you say?
00:24:15I said...
00:24:16I didn't say you could leave.
00:24:18Here's your chance.
00:24:19Everyone in your crew gets on their knees,
00:24:21apologizes to Tessa,
00:24:23or you lose a leg.
00:24:25Your choice.
00:24:26Raven.
00:24:27You see, I tried to play nice.
00:24:29This isn't on me.
00:24:30This young friend just came to town.
00:24:33Doesn't know how things work.
00:24:35An islander.
00:24:36Aldric.
00:24:37Let it go.
00:24:38For me.
00:24:38Do me this one favor.
00:24:40Why should I do you any favors?
00:24:42What are you doing?
00:24:43They have more orcs outside.
00:24:45Even Lady Raven couldn't stop them all.
00:24:46She got us out.
00:24:47Take Tessa and go.
00:24:49Duncan.
00:24:50You told me once.
00:24:51No matter what,
00:24:52you'd never let anyone hurt Tessa.
00:24:54What happened to that?
00:24:55It's not that simple.
00:24:56This is his territory.
00:24:57He knows every corner,
00:24:58every exit.
00:24:59We're in his backyard now.
00:25:00Sometimes you have to know when to walk away.
00:25:02I don't walk away.
00:25:03And they're nothing.
00:25:05Now you understand.
00:25:07I could crush you like an ant.
00:25:09Apologize.
00:25:10Crawl through my legs, maybe.
00:25:12Maybe I'll forgive you.
00:25:14I thought he was different.
00:25:20This is my apology.
00:25:27You...
00:25:28You hit me.
00:25:32You...
00:25:43My head!
00:25:45What are you waiting for?
00:25:47Kill him!
00:25:51Anyone touches him,
00:25:52they go through me.
00:25:54Duncan!
00:25:55He's my brother.
00:25:56I'm not leaving him.
00:26:01Come on, then.
00:26:03Still the same, Duncan.
00:26:06Take Tessa.
00:26:07Go.
00:26:08I'll hold them.
00:26:09No need.
00:26:09I'm not done.
00:26:13I gave you a chance.
00:26:15You didn't take it.
00:26:18You gambling den bosses.

00:59:05You think you can do better?
00:59:06Yes.
00:59:07With what?
00:59:09Needles.
00:59:10Needles.
00:59:11That's all.
00:59:12The finest healers in the kingdom couldn't save him.
00:59:15What makes you think you can?
00:59:16They couldn't.
00:59:17That doesn't mean I can't.
00:59:18Let him try.
00:59:19My father's condition can't wait.
00:59:21If he makes things worse, we won't be responsible.
00:59:24Fine.
00:59:24If I fail, I'll take the blow.
00:59:27And if I succeed...
00:59:29You won't.
00:59:30Young man, if you cure Duke Aldrinch, I'll become your student.
00:59:36So will I.
00:59:37And if you cure him, I'll sweep the path before you.
00:59:40And welcome you into this house.
00:59:43Do it.
00:59:48His life is draining.
00:59:50This is the soulbinding curse.
00:59:53What's that?
00:59:54An old spell.
00:59:55It traps the victim's soul, feeds on their life force.
00:59:59Within seven days, the victim's spirit is destroyed.
01:00:03Who would want to kill grandfather?
01:00:06You expect us to believe this.
01:00:09Believe what you want.
01:00:10Do you think it is?
01:00:11Yes.
01:00:13You can't just...
01:00:13You don't want him to wake up.
01:00:17Of course I do.
01:00:19Then let me work.
01:00:51Is this...
01:00:52Is this real?
01:00:53You're insane.
01:00:56Nothing happened.
01:00:57He's a fraud.
01:00:59I told you.
01:01:00You were so confident.
01:01:01And now?
01:01:03Arrest him!
01:01:04Wait!
01:01:08He's awake!
01:01:09Duke Alderwind is awake!
01:01:16I walked through death's door.
01:01:19And came back.
01:01:21A miracle.
01:01:23You saved me.
01:01:25Rest now, grandfather.
01:01:29Rest.
01:01:30As you say.
01:01:35Master Aldrich.
01:01:37Your technique.
01:01:38Where did you learn it?
01:01:39I taught myself.
01:01:41Remarkable.
01:01:43Come work for me.
01:01:44I'll make you a specialist.
01:01:45Top pay.
01:01:47I have no license.
01:01:49I'll handle it.
01:01:53Master Aldrich.
01:01:54Master Aldrich.
01:01:55Teach me.
01:01:57Please.
01:01:58He's an honored professor.
01:01:59I don't care about titles.
01:02:01Your skill speaks for itself.
01:02:06Fine.
01:02:07I'll take you.
01:02:10But you!
01:02:12You can send yourself a banner.
01:02:15Write on it.
01:02:17I am a fool.
01:02:20Is my father cured?
01:02:22I broke the curse.
01:02:23But the caster will notice.
01:02:25And when he does, he'll try something more desperate.
01:02:29Can't we find out who's behind all this?
01:02:31The curse caster?
01:02:32There is a way.
01:02:34But first, I need to know something.
01:02:38Who in this house knows your birth chart?
01:02:40Only family.
01:02:42Caelan.
01:02:43Alara.
01:02:44And Marius.
01:02:46Lord Marius.
01:02:48Understood.
01:02:49I'll find the curse caster.
01:02:51Very soon.
01:02:52Duke Aldwyn.
01:02:53May I speak with you privately?
01:02:56Leave us.
01:03:03You have questions for me?
01:03:05My grandfather.
01:03:07How did he die?
01:03:11He went to the capital.
01:03:13Before he left, he came to me.
01:03:15Told me to protect you if he didn't return.
01:03:21Your family's murder.
01:03:23Your grandfather's death.
01:03:25It's all connected.
01:03:27Years ago, House Aldwyn was nearly destroyed.
01:03:31I fled to the capital alone.
01:03:33I was dying.
01:03:35Your grandfather, Thomas Cael, saved me.
01:03:38House Cael was the wealthiest in the capital.
01:03:41With his protection, my enemies couldn't touch me.
01:03:45So, I rebuilt my house.
01:03:47What happened to House Cael?
01:03:49Twenty years ago, he vanished.
01:03:52Overnight.
01:03:53I don't know how.
01:03:55I don't know why.
01:03:57Later, your grandfather's came to this town with you.
01:04:01He left and he was never seen again.
01:04:03I felt indebted to your grandfather.
01:04:07So, I arranged the betrothal.
01:04:09And I made a will.
01:04:11When you marry Alara, half of House Aldwyn's wealth will be yours.
01:04:21How did grandfather die?
01:04:23He must have found something.
01:04:26Someone killed him for it.
01:04:28Who destroyed my family?
01:04:29I don't know.
01:04:30But they weren't mortal.
01:04:33House Cael was too powerful to fall to ordinary men.
01:04:37You come from that world.
01:04:39The world of magic.
01:04:41You know I'm telling the truth.
01:04:45What do you suggest?
01:04:46I think they offended a Shadow Archmist.
01:04:49And I was cursed.
01:04:51Because they discovered my connection to your grandfather.
01:04:55Marry Alara.
01:04:56Quickly.
01:04:57Before I die.
01:04:59I can't.
01:05:00Not yet.
01:05:01Why?
01:05:02I have to avenge my family first.
01:05:05We can talk about marriage later.
01:05:07Now that I know House Alden and House Cael share the same enemy.
01:05:12That's enough for now.
01:05:13Do you suspect someone?
01:05:14I'll handle it.
01:05:23Duke Aldwyn.
01:05:25The potion is ready.
01:05:26You have my thanks.
01:05:31I was wrong about you.
01:05:33When you're well, my lord, I'll arrange the wedding.
01:05:36I should go.
01:05:38I'll visit every day.
01:05:48I'll be back.
01:05:48Shadow Archmaster.
01:05:49The curse on my father has been broken.
01:05:51By some young mage called Aldric.
01:05:53No worries.
01:05:54I'll cast another one.
01:05:56A stronger one.
01:05:57I could see Marius' heart race whenever I mention the traitor.
01:06:00And through this runestone link, I can see where the Shadow Archmist is.
01:06:05Murderer of my family.
01:06:08I finally found you.
01:06:20You came.
01:06:24You knew I would.
01:06:26I hoped you would.
01:06:28You have power, Aldric of House Cael.
01:06:32More than your father.
01:06:33More than your grandfather.
01:06:35You knew them.
01:06:37I killed them.
01:06:40House Cael was wealthy.
01:06:42Powerful.
01:06:43But they had something I needed.
01:06:45A runestone.
01:06:46To speak with dead masters.
01:06:48To enhance my power.
01:06:50They wouldn't give it to me.
01:06:52So I took everything else.
01:06:54You murdered my family.
01:06:56I removed an obstacle.
01:06:58That runestone is in your pocket.
01:07:00Give it to me.
01:07:01Join me.
01:07:02Your power and mine.
01:07:04We could rule everything.
01:07:05I'd rather die than share my friend's gift with you.
01:07:08That can be arranged.
01:07:23Impressive.
01:07:25But not enough.
01:07:37You're strong.
01:07:39But you're young.
01:07:41You haven't learned to control your power.
01:07:43Last chance.
01:07:45Join me.
01:07:47Now.
01:07:48My turn.
01:07:50My turn.
01:08:12This isn't over.
01:08:15I'll return.
01:08:21For my family.
01:08:32Marius.
01:08:34You cursed me.
01:08:36You conspired with the Shadow Archmeist.
01:08:38You tried to destroy this house.
01:08:41Do you have anything to say for yourself?
01:08:47I did it for you.
01:08:49I did it for you.
01:08:49For your approval.
01:08:50For you to finally see me.
01:08:52But you never saw me.
01:08:54Only Caelian.
01:08:55The heir.
01:08:56The good son.
01:08:57I was nothing to you.
01:09:00I'm sorry father.
01:09:03I'm so sorry.
01:09:05I'm sorry.
01:09:05I'm sorry.
01:09:06Under the laws of this house, the punishment for treason is death.
01:09:10But you are my son.
01:09:12And I cannot kill my son.
01:09:15What do you suggest?
01:09:16Exile.
01:09:17He leaves the kingdom.
01:09:18Never returns.
01:09:21If he does.
01:09:22He dies.
01:09:23Do you accept?
01:09:27Yes.
01:09:28Then it's done.
01:09:31Take him to the border.
01:09:33Make sure he crosses.
01:09:35And make sure he never comes back.
01:09:38The Shadow Archmist is still out there.
01:09:41He'll come for you.
01:09:42He's already dead.
01:09:49I've lost a son today.
01:09:51You've gained a chance.
01:09:53Now.
01:09:55Let's talk about your reward.
01:10:04You saved my life.
01:10:06You saved my house.
01:10:08You avenged your family.
01:10:11Name what you want.
01:10:12Anything.
01:10:15I want to earn her.
01:10:20Earn her.
01:10:21Earn her.
01:10:21I don't want her handed to me like a prize.
01:10:23I want to prove that I'm worthy of her.
01:10:30You already have.
01:10:32Do you accept him?
01:10:37I do.
01:10:54No.
01:10:55No.
01:10:56No.
01:10:56No.
01:10:58If I believe that I can feel.
01:11:06If I can hurt.
01:11:08Then I can heal.
01:11:16Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today.
01:11:25Do you, Aldric of House Kale, take this woman to be your wife?
01:11:30I do.
01:11:32Do you, Ellara of House Aldwyn, take this man to be your husband?
01:11:36I do.
01:11:37Then by the power vested in me, I pronounce you husband and wife.
01:11:51About time!
01:11:54To the happy couple!
01:11:58Are you happy?
01:12:00I'm content, which is more than I ever expected.
01:12:09That's not an answer.
01:12:10It's the only one I have.
01:12:21It's enough.
01:12:22I'm not really the same, and I thought you can't find it now.
01:12:28I'm holding your mind.
