Short filmTranscript
00:00In my first life, my fiancé Derek despised me for not being pure enough for the mixed colors in my
00:04flame.
00:05The day I gave birth, he couldn't even wait for me to get off the birthing bed before he burned
00:09me and my still crying baby to ash with a blast of black fire.
00:14As I died, I cursed him. In every life, may you die a miserable death.
00:18Then I was reborn from the ashes.
00:21In my second life, when I opened my eyes again, I was back to the day before my engagement.
00:24My fiancé Derek Cole was standing in my family's main tent, announcing in front of everyone that he was going
00:30to marry my sister Mia.
00:31He had been reborn too. In our last life, he was a rising star among the pure-blood dragons.
00:36He married me because my family and bloodline were just barely worthy of him.
00:39But later I gave birth to a child with markled scales and a dull, weak flame. A half-breed.
00:43He thought I had ruined him. He thought I had deceived him. So he killed us.
00:46Now he had come back to do it over, convinced that if he chose my pure-blood sister, he would
00:51get the perfect heir he wanted.
00:54What he didn't know was that the child Mia carried was a half-breed too.
00:59No! No, that's not right. Let him find out for himself.
01:02When I woke up, my chest still hurt. The feeling of fire burning straight through my ribs felt carved into
01:07my soul.
01:08It took me a full ten seconds to realize I was still alive. Still whole. Still had a heartbeat.
01:14The animal hide stretched over the tent roof was the one Mother had brought back from the southern tribe last
01:18year.
01:18A totem pole stood in the center of the tent, carved all over with the marks of our ancestors.
01:22The basket of nearly withered healing herbs in the corner was still right where it had been.
01:26Everything was exactly as I remembered.
01:28Then I saw Derek. His gaze swept over the main tent, over my parents, over the shamans and chiefs present.
01:34Then it landed on me.
01:36That look was not the tenderness he had worn before our wedding in my last life.
01:40It was disgust, contempt.
01:41He came back too.
01:43Uncle Auntie, I know this is wrong, but I can't form a bond with Olivia.
01:48Olivia, the main tent fell silent for one second. Then whispers broke out, like a swarm of insects startled into
01:54flight.
01:56My father, Marcus, was one of the leaders of the Dragon Council.
02:01Say that again.
02:04Mia and I are together now.
02:05She's carrying my cub.
02:09Derek, you and Olivia have been promised to each other since childhood.
02:13Your blood compatibility is 92%.
02:15We tested it three times.
02:17You can't just break it off because you feel like it.
02:20Our parents arranged that engagement.
02:22I didn't choose it.
02:23He turned towards me.
02:25No.
02:26He walked towards me.
02:32In our last life, you humiliated me.
02:35This time, I won't make the same mistake.
02:38Olivia, I don't want to hurt you.
02:40I just can't marry someone who is...
02:42He paused.
02:43The entire main tent waited for him to say the word.
02:47I just can't take that risk.
02:49He didn't say it.
02:51But everyone understood.
02:53Bloodline.
02:54Blood.
02:55Purity.
02:55Those three words drifted through the family hall like ghosts.
02:57No one dared say them out loud.
02:59But everyone didn't knew exactly what they meant.
03:01Everyone in the family knew my flame was the wrong color and the pattern of my scales was wrong.
03:04Since childhood, the elders had judged my bloodline as tainted.
03:07When I first awakened at seven, my flame was gold but streaked with red threads.
03:10That was not the color of a pure blood dragon.
03:12To my face, the elders called it potential.
03:14A possible mutation.
03:15A special gift.
03:16But in private, the word they used was half-breed.
03:18They just didn't dare say it to my face.
03:20I agree.
03:21What did you say?
03:22I said I agree.
03:25Article 17 of the Dragon Code.
03:27The party whose engagement is broken has the right to choose a spouse independently within 30 days.
03:32I want to invoke it.
03:33Do you understand what Article 17 means?
03:36It means you give up all family protection over your marriage.
03:39It means the spouse you choose will not be screened, will not be verified, and there will be no bottom
03:44line.
03:45I understand.
03:47I choose him.
03:49No one had ever paid attention to him.
03:52His eyes were a dark gold that belonged to no pure blood dragon.
03:56A color mainstream society saw as the mark of a half-breed.
04:00Are you insane?
04:05You're choosing a...
04:06A what?
04:07A half-breed just like me?
04:09Is that the word you want to say, Derek?
04:11Say it!
04:12He didn't dare.
04:13He didn't dare say that word in front of a room full of elders because the moment he did,
04:17he would be admitting that the real reason he had broken off the engagement was not love.
04:21It was blood discrimination.
04:24In modern dragon society, it was an open secret, but no one dared say it in a formal setting.
04:29Everyone wore masks.
04:31Everyone spoke politely.
04:32Everyone stabbed each other in the back.
04:34No one was stupid enough to draw their blade on the battlefield.
04:39What are you still standing there for?
04:41Come here.
04:49What's your name?
04:52Luke.
04:53Luke and I formed a bond.
04:54The process was simple.
04:55Go to the Elder's Hall, register, and have both parties sign the contract.
04:59No ceremony, no blessing.
05:00Not even friends needed to be present.
05:01The fire basin at the registration office burned bright,
05:03and the animal hide scroll of the dragon code hung on the wall,
05:06yellowed with age, its edges curling.
05:08When I signed, Mia stood in the doorway.
05:10Who do you think that half-breed of yours can give birth to?
05:13A lizard?
05:13Or a whole nest of snakes?
05:15My guess, yours will be much more interesting than mine.
05:18She didn't know what I knew, but she sensed it.
05:21After I signed, I set down the pen and walked past her without stopping.
05:25At the far end of the corridor, Derek stood to the side, staring hard at me.
05:31What do you know?
05:32I know you chose the wrong person, but don't worry, Derek.
05:36Your good days are far from over.
05:38It was only one phrase, but it carried so much.
05:40Last night.
05:41Killing in tanked.
05:42Fear.
05:43And something I didn't recognize.
05:45Maybe despair.
05:46You killed me in our last life.
05:48In this one, I'm still alive.
05:49I saw a flicker of fear in his eyes.
05:52Not fear of me.
05:52Not fear of power.
05:53It was fear of the fact that the woman knew everything.
05:55The fear that comes right before a secret is exposed.
05:58When I walked out of the Elder's Hall, Luke was leaning against a stone pillar in the corridor.
06:01Rolling an old silver coin was badly worn.
06:03The image on its face almost impossible to see.
06:06All signed?
06:07All signed.
06:08What were you saying to them out there?
06:10Nothing.
06:11Just saying hello.
06:17Your claws are shaking.
06:18No, they're not.
06:19Olivia.
06:21I said they're not.
06:22He simply took off his outer robe, carrying in the warmth of his fire and a scent I couldn't quite
06:25name.
06:26The robe was cold, metallic scent of pure-blood dragons.
06:29But something wilder.
06:30Something deeper.
06:30Like forest after rain.
06:32Or charred wood.
06:33That night, we went back to Luke's tent together.
06:34He was warming beast milk by the fire pit.
06:36He said the midwife told him and needed to be nourished.
06:38His tent was small.
06:39Walls lied to him I was nearly bored.
06:40But everything was clean.
06:41Wooden bowls and anapal spoons were neatly stacked on the stone shelf.
06:44And there wasn't a speck of rust on his blade.
06:45Why were you willing to marry me?
06:46You want the truth?
06:48Hmm.
06:50Because you chose.
06:51You stood in the middle of the main tent with everyone watching and you chose me.
06:57Just for that?
07:00Just for that.
07:06Not many dragons would choose one of their own in that moment.
07:10Most would choose themselves.
07:12That was choosing myself too.
07:14I chose you because I needed to get away from Derek.
07:17I know.
07:19But you could have grabbed any dragon at the door to sign with you, then gone your separate ways.
07:24You didn't.
07:25How do you know I won't?
07:31Because you're still sitting here drinking my beast milk.
07:35I said nothing.
07:36He was right.
07:38I hadn't left.
07:39The days passed quietly like that.
07:42I found out I was pregnant two months later.
07:45In my last life.
07:47In my last life at this very moment I thought I was carrying Derek's cub.
07:51I had gone to tell him full of joy.
07:55I had gone to tell him.
07:58I hope you don't embarrass me again.
08:00His expression looked like he had already decided to throw it away before he even skinned it.
08:06Then I gave birth to a daughter with martled scales and a flame so weak it was almost invisible.
08:19This isn't mine.
08:23She is yours.
08:25My seed could never turn out like that.
08:30He didn't even wait for me to explain.
08:44Olivia, you've been in the private hut for 20 minutes.
08:48Luke's expression changed.
08:50First confusion, then alertness, then something I didn't recognize.
08:55That's right.
08:59I handed him the pregnancy stone.
09:09Ours.
09:11Who else's would it be?
09:15Not Derek's?
09:18Not Derek's?
09:20100% yours.
09:32are you happy i don't know but i'm thinking about something what your last life
09:43why did derrick kill you i froze i hadn't told him i had never told anyone about my last life
09:49about that cub about that fire about the instance so sudden i didn't even have time to scream
09:54the cub mottled scales unstable flame he thought it wasn't his it wasn't his it was but that cub
10:05really didn't look pure blood olivia have you ever considered something what a cub born from two mixed
10:12bloods may not be a mixed blood what does that mean he didn't answer he only placed his claws over
10:18my
10:18lower abdomen within the black tongues of flame was a strand of gold i had never seen before
10:24that gold was not the cold gold of the pure blood dragons it was warmer more like sunrise your cub
10:30it isn't the same as the cub from your last life what are you talking about i'm saying you were
10:36robbed robbed by who
10:42me as due date was three weeks before mine the news spread through the entire dragon council
10:50derrick cole was holding a bloodline witnessing ceremony for his first child and he had invited
10:54every elder and noble to put it plainly he was showing off showing off that he had chosen the
11:01right woman that his air would be pure blood that abandoning me had been such a brilliant decision
11:06he wanted everyone to see that derrick cole had not been dragged down by that half breed
11:09that derrick cole's bloodline would continue that derrick cole was the winner
11:14on the day of the ceremony luke and i stood at the very back of the hall
11:20no one noticed us no one wanted to notice us
11:25i knew what he was thinking he was thinking this was only the first step there was a longer road
11:30ahead
11:31one child wasn't enough he wanted an entire tribe my parents sat in the front row their seats had
11:38been assigned no one cared whether they wanted to be there to miss an occasion like this would be to
11:43openly oppose the cole family and my father's place on the council still needed marcus cole's vote
11:48what do you think it'll be do you want the truth or the polite version the truth
11:53a turkey or a lizard or something worse
12:03the glory of pure blood dragons the future of the cole family the support of the clan
12:11every sentence was formulatical every gesture had been precisely calculated
12:17then the delivery room door opened
12:22marcus's smile froze on his face
12:24the whole room went silent
12:26every eye fixed on the white cloth
12:28waiting for the midwife to uncover it
12:31the baby's scales were grey-green uneven in shade
12:34its eyes opened a slit and the color of its pupils was wrong
12:37it was not the gold of pure blood dragons
12:39nor the dark yellow ex-blood dragons
12:41it was a murky sickly dark yellow
12:42like pos left too long
12:44what is that
12:45it's my child
12:46let me see
12:48even more terrifying were its dragon wings
12:50the fleshy wing that should have unfolded at them
12:53the symbol of a dragon's identity
12:54had only grown half way
12:56the other half was a malformed
12:58wrinkled lump of skin
13:16i don't know
13:17i don't know why this happened derrick i really don't know
13:19do you know what your bloodline is
13:24do you know on your father's side
13:27there is nothing wrong with my bloodline
13:30it's you
13:30you're the problem
13:31in our last life
13:33you and she
13:34she suddenly shut her mouth
13:37but it was too late
13:38last life
13:39what last life
13:41derrick's expression in that moment was the most spectacular thing i had ever seen
13:44fear
13:45rage
13:46shame
13:47and the despair of knowing that everything was over
13:49every emotion stretched up at once
13:51crowding onto his handsome face until it twisted out of shape
13:53it was you
13:54you curse me
13:56he was fast
13:57but luke was faster
14:10don't touch her
14:11the whole room went silent
14:21crack fire
14:24impossible
14:26what is it
14:27marcus do you know that fire
14:29marcus didn't answer
14:33the way he looked at luke
14:34changed
14:36it wasn't the hostility from before
14:38it wasn't irritation at having his speech interrupted
14:42it was something older
14:43more instinctive
14:45fear
14:46not fear of an enemy
14:48fear of something from the past
14:50mia and derrick's pure blood air
14:53was half lizard
14:54the news spread through all of dragon society
14:57someone revealed the secret
14:59it was sealed quickly
15:00however the message has already been leaked
15:04the comments were unbearable to read
15:07some said mia's bloodline was the problem
15:09some said derrick's bloodline was the problem
15:11some said both of them were the problem
15:13the truth didn't matter
15:15what mattered was that they were finished
15:18but to derrick there was one thing even more terrifying than social death
15:23me
15:24that night we returned to our accommodation
15:27luke closed the door
15:29leaned against it
15:31and looked at me
15:32you want to know the truth
15:35what i used just now was the fire of the ancient dragons
15:39when marcus saw it he recognized it
15:41that wasn't the power of modern pure blood dragons
15:47luke was silent for a long time
15:50do you know where pure blood dragons come from
15:53since i was little i was taught that pure blood is innate
15:56natural selection
15:58the peak of evolution
16:00then do you know where half greets come from
16:05these scars
16:06they aren't from fights
16:10they're from rituals
16:12what rituals
16:13the cole family
16:16marcus cole derrick's father
16:17or rather every family that calls itself pure blood
16:20their pure blood wasn't natural
16:22it was stolen
16:24what do you mean
16:25every time a new life is born they perform a ritual
16:28they extract dragon crystals from dragons within pure bloodlines
16:32he never talked about himself
16:34i had known him for two months
16:36and he had never said a word about his past
16:39i knew what a dragon crystal was
16:41every dragon has one in their chest
16:43it is the source of our power
16:44the color and quality of a dragon crystal determines the form and strength of the flame
16:49the dragon crystal shatters
16:50the dragon dies
16:51no exceptions
16:52a mixed blood's dragon crystal is far more active than a pure blood's
16:56because a mixed blood's flame is unstable
16:58the crystal has to keep adapting and adjusting
17:01and that activity
17:03it can be extracted
17:05a pure blood dragon's crystal is constant
17:07stable
17:08it doesn't grow stronger or weaker
17:10but a mixed blood's crystal is different
17:12it can be smelled
17:13remade
17:14and injected into another dragon's body
17:16they use mixed blood dragon crystals to strengthen their own bloodlines
17:20luke didn't speak
17:22but his silence was the clearest confirmation
17:27how do you know
17:29because i was one of the dragons they extracted from
17:33when i was 15 marcus cole found me
17:35he said he would help me awaken
17:37you know the line
17:38every mixed blood has heard it
17:39come with us
17:40and we'll help remove the impurities from your bloodline
17:43you went
17:44i went
17:44my mother had just died
17:46i was living alone in a grass shed in the south
17:48no herd
17:48no kin
17:49my flame would go out of control from time to time
17:51and burn every piece of prey i could find
17:52driving a beast car pulled by four thestuers
17:54he said he had come to help me
17:56they locked me in a dungeon
17:57and extracted my dragon crystal for three days and three nights
18:00they thought i was unconscious the whole time
18:02but i wasn't
18:03i was awake
18:05i watched them melt the crystal they took from me
18:07into glowing liquid
18:08and injected into a cub's body
18:10who was that cub?
18:15you guessed right
18:17it was derrick cole
18:19derrick's pure blood had not been maintained by the blood i donated
18:22not by that bottle of heart blood taken from my chest every year
18:26the pain so bad i curled in on myself
18:30it was maintained by my own kind
18:33by the lives of every mixed blood dragon they had branded a half street
18:37in my last life
18:40every year i had to send their family
18:42a bottle of my heart blood
18:45they said it was to build affection with derrick
18:48i was pierced with needles from childhood until i nearly died from the pain
18:51and i thought that was just my fate
18:55because i was mixed blood i was supposed to endure it
18:57it was compensation
18:59it was the price
19:00it was what i owed them
19:02that wasn't your fate that was their lie
19:05they used my blood
19:06our blood
19:07to keep up derrick's disguise
19:09to make everyone believe he was pure blood
19:12to let him stand above us
19:14look down on us
19:15judge us
19:15kill us
19:16then he killed you
19:18killed your child
19:19because he couldn't let the truth come out
19:21your child
19:23the one you gave birth to in your last life
19:26if she had lived
19:27if she had grown up
19:28her scales and flame would have proven one thing
19:31what?
19:32a child born from two mixed bloods is not mixed blood
19:36it is the source
19:38the ancient dragons
19:39the true dragons
19:40were never pure blood
19:42they were mixed blood
19:44because mixed blood means adaptation
19:47it means change
19:48it means the power to devour everything
19:51and bring everything back to life
19:54the pure blood
19:56pure blood is a dead end
19:58a self-deceiving lie
20:00destined for extinction
20:02that night luke took me somewhere
20:05deep within the family territory
20:07there was a forgotten ruin
20:09i had gone there once as a child
20:12but mother dragged me back
20:14she said it was unlucky
20:15and forbade me from going again
20:19it was not an ordinary key
20:20it was made of bone
20:22white
20:23and slightly yellowed
20:29but i knew those words were not modern dragon writing
20:33they weren't any dragon language i knew
20:35the symbols curved and flowed like the shape of flames
20:40generations of dragon ancestors are buried here
20:43at least that's what everyone says
20:45no
20:45they didn't die
20:48they were exiled
20:50the stone chamber was small
20:52only about two meters square
20:53and every wall was covered in murals
20:55no names
20:57no dates
20:59only those ancient curving symbols and images
21:02it was ten times the size of the other dragons
21:05its wingspan covering half the sky
21:13then the mural changed
21:16they severed the dragon race's connection to its past
21:22they killed the last mixed blood king of the ancient dragons
21:24stole its dragon crystal
21:26divided into thirteen pieces
21:28and smelted those pieces into their own bodies
21:30from then on
21:31they called themselves pure blood
21:34from then on mixed blood became a disgrace
21:37from then on every few decades
21:38they had to find a new group of mixed blood dragons
21:41extract their dragon crystals and use them extend their own lives
21:45do you know why they've always had their eyes on you
21:48because my flame is the wrong color
21:50because the pattern of my scales is wrong
21:53because i'm a half-breed
21:54because inside you is
21:56because you are the reincarnation of that ancient dragon
22:01i am the
22:03you are the king they killed three times
22:05stole from countless times
22:07and yet every time
22:10you were reborn from the ashes
22:13in this life i will stand in front of you
22:16not because you need protection
22:17but because since i was fifteen
22:19i have been waiting for one of my own
22:20someone willing to choose me
22:22and you chose
22:23his voice was trembling
22:25it was the first time i had ever heard his voice tremble
22:27i thought the story ended there
22:29but i was wrong
22:31on the third day after the ceremony
22:33mia disappeared
22:34she hadn't run away from the nest
22:36she hadn't gone to see a witch doctor about her body
22:40she vanished from the cole family territory out of thin air
22:44the midwife said she got up in the middle of the night to feed the cub
22:48and then she was gone
22:54derek was the first to messenger to me
22:57not because he cared about mia
23:00but because he knew i would
23:03strangely it wasn't angry
23:05it wasn't urgent
23:07it was soft in a way i had never heard before
23:09almost bleeding
23:11olivia
23:12mia is missing
23:14what does that have to do with me
23:17i heard him take a deep breath on the other end of the soundstone
23:20if you're willing to help me find her
23:22i'll show you something
23:25what
23:25the truth about that cub from your last life
23:33then i found luke
23:34derek says he knows about what happened in the last life
23:37he was cooking a pot of meat soup
23:39in the stone pot were wild greens roots and bones from some beast i didn't know where he had hunted
23:48what does he know
23:49he says he knows the truth about the cub
23:56he's lying
23:57but he may know something
23:59like what
24:01like who stole your cub
24:04luke and i went to the cole family territory
24:07their land was on the mountain to the north
24:10spranning wide
24:11it was a long walk from the fortress gate to the main hall
24:28inside was a ritual refining room
24:30no not a ritual refining room
24:32a slaughterhouse
24:33it was not alive
24:35what is this
24:36derek didn't answer
24:40the bone scroll was very old
24:42its edges worn down
24:44my name was carved on it
24:47inside were branded animal hides
24:49many sheets
24:51the same cub
24:52rubbed from different angles
24:53behind them were notched tables
24:55rune data
24:56and blood pattern analysis scrolls
24:59derek has never fathered a pure blood cub
25:01not once
25:02the cole family's bloodline was already polluted in the first generation
25:05their method of extracting mixed blood dragon crystals has a fatal side effect
25:08each generation is weaker than the last
25:10derek is the final generation
25:12he cannot produce any healthy cub
25:14then what about mia's cub
25:16my father did that
25:18what do you mean
25:18my father
25:19he started cultivating ambrose five years ago
25:21with my essence blood
25:22with mixed blood dragon essence blood
25:23cultivated in the ritual refining room
25:25the one mia carried was never my cub
25:26it was a ritual thing they implanted in her body
25:29your wording changed
25:31you called her mia
25:32not my sister
25:34now you see her as a living being
25:35not your rival
25:37you said nothing for a long time
25:40mia disappeared
25:40she got up in the middle of the night
25:42and saw that stone trough
25:45saw the corpse of her cub
25:46the one she thought had died
25:47the one we told her died at birth
25:51then she disappeared
25:53what did you do to her
25:56we didn't do anything
25:57but she took that bone scroll
25:59that scroll contains all the evidence
26:01the coal families
26:01bloodline fraud
26:02ritual cultivation
26:03mixed blood dragon crystal extraction
26:05everything is in there
26:06so you came to me
26:07not because she's missing
26:08but because she took your secrets
26:12my father doesn't want mia
26:14what does he want
26:16he wants that cub
26:18i did not go to rescue mia
26:20not because i didn't care
26:21but because i knew where she was
26:23our mother
26:23elena
26:24she had never accepted
26:25my father's seat on the council
26:27never accepted being forced
26:28to attend every coal family event
26:30never accepted her two daughters
26:31being treated as political
26:32bargaining cheats
26:33she had been waiting all along
26:35waiting for a chance
26:36waiting for a blade sharp enough
26:37mia gave that bone scroll to her
26:39then elena did something
26:40no one expected
26:41she issued a bloodline proclamation
26:43in the front courtyard of the family estate
26:45before all the elders
26:46before all the council members
26:47before the watching dragons
26:48she released everything in the bone scroll
26:50piece by piece
26:51every item was perfectly clear
26:53the coal family's bloodline fraud
26:55the embrose melting authorization
26:57personally signed by marcus coal
26:59in dragon script
27:00the list of mixed blood dragons
27:01illegally imprisoned
27:02and stripped of their dragon crystals
27:04he didn't know someone had tampered
27:05with the voice prince stone
27:06derrick is not pure blood
27:08he never was
27:10but we had no other choice
27:11the council needed an heir
27:13the coal family needed a future
27:15we only did what had to be done
27:19the hall was deathly silent
27:28it was a blood pattern origin tracing scroll
27:31at first glance
27:32the entire blood pattern
27:33was dark gold
27:33with the purity index
27:35marked along the edge of the scroll
27:36at over 97%
27:38this was the mark of a pure blood dragon
27:40there was nothing wrong with it
27:42but at the imprint corresponding
27:44to the 12th heart scale
27:45a tiny section of the pattern
27:47was the wrong color
27:49the source of that pattern
27:50was written on the final line
27:52of the scroll
27:53it was the first time
27:54i had ever seen that blood pattern scroll
27:57you knew
27:58i knew
28:00you knew from the beginning
28:01i've always known
28:03you knew the dragon crystal
28:04inside him was part of you
28:06yes
28:08that's why i'm taking it back
28:10the conflict broke out the next day
28:12derrick struck first
28:14he had lost everything
28:15his fiance
28:16his child
28:17his family's reputation
28:18his council seat
28:19he had nothing left
28:21a person with nothing left
28:22is the most dangerous
28:24because he has nothing left
28:25to lose either
28:26when he came to find me
28:28with that knife
28:29i was packing in the apartment
28:31mia was coming to stay
28:32for a few days
28:33she didn't dare go back
28:34to her own home
28:35and she didn't dare return
28:36to the coal estate
28:37she was staying with mother
28:38for the moment
28:39but mother said she needed
28:40time alone
28:40so mia had no choice
28:42but to come to me
28:45when the doorbell rang
28:47i thought it was her
28:51he knew i wouldn't die
28:53but he no longer cared
28:59put down the knife
29:04derrick did not put it down

31:55i would only be treated

33:43had been extracted
33:44marcus cole was sentenced
33:46to permanent imprisonment
33:47although derrick cole
33:48had not directly
33:49participated in his
33:50father's crimes
33:50he had known the truth

33:52he was stripped of
33:53his dragon status
33:54his dragon crystal
33:55was forcibly removed
33:56and he reverted to
33:57what he had originally
33:58been
33:58your child from
33:59the last life
34:00he didn't kill her
34:02what did you say
34:03the child from
34:04your last life
34:04he didn't kill her
34:06he sent her away
34:07sent her to another
34:08world
34:08she's alive
34:10somewhere she's alive
34:12what's happening
34:14i don't know
34:15i really don't
34:16i only know she was
34:17sent away since
34:18somewhere no one
34:18could find her
34:19that was the last
34:20thing my father said
34:22he said he couldn't
34:23kill a child
34:23that was the one
34:24thing he couldn't do
34:26derrick left
34:27i stood in the tent
34:28passage and did not
34:29move
34:29there was a cub inside
34:33and there was another
34:34cub somewhere in the
34:35world alive
34:37she was still alive
34:38i did not cry
34:40the crying came later
34:43that night
34:44in luke's tent
34:46while he was changing
34:47the herbs on the
34:48wound on his claw
34:54we'll find her
34:57how do you know
34:58because you're the
34:59kind of dragon who
35:00finds her own
35:01it won't stop until
35:02you do
35:04i laughed
35:05but the laugh was
35:06part of the crying
35:07so it was ugly
35:07he didn't mind
35:09the cub was born
35:10one week later
35:11a daughter
35:14what's her name
35:18iris
35:20why
35:21because iris
35:22means rainbow
35:23because her flame
35:25is the color
35:25of a rainbow
35:26because when she
35:27came all the colors
35:28came with her
35:32iris
35:36his smile was ugly
35:38because his eyes
35:39were too bright
35:40so bright his smile
35:41couldn't hide it
35:43his dragon crystal
35:44had returned
35:47you're back
35:49i didn't know
35:50who he was talking
35:51to
35:51maybe iris
35:52maybe another dragon
35:55maybe the king
35:56in the mural
35:56the one killed
35:57three times
35:58and reborn
35:58from the ashes
35:59every time
36:00but it didn't matter
36:01because this time
36:03no dragon would die
36:04this was my second life
36:05but there would not
36:06be a third
36:08outside the tent flap
36:09was night
36:10inside the tent flap
36:11was light
36:12and a cub
36:15and him
