Short filmTranscript
00:07Theon! Mortal!
00:09You ravid 16 temples of the sun, 3,000 ordained priests, sacrilege beyond redemption.
00:17What do you have to say for yourself?
00:22Say what?
00:24Stubborn to the end.
00:26Pythias! High Priestess of Apollo! I authorize you! Make him talk!
00:37Is that it?
00:38The god It's pet can't even swing a whip without running out of breath.
00:44Now that's a spy. Haven't seen balls like that on this mountain since Prometheus swiped the fire.
00:49Oh, look who trolled out. The mighty conqueror of the twelve labors himself.
00:53Zeus calls, you ghost him every time, but one mortal's about to get his head lopped off, and suddenly here
00:59you are like a stray dog that caught the scent of blood?
01:01I bled for my godhead! Twelve trials, twelve kills! Not like some pretty boy who got invisible cause mommy dunked
01:08him in a river!
01:09I'm here to watch a man die!
01:12Problem?
01:13Whatever helps you sleep at night, big guy.
01:17Enough! Cut off his limbs! Drain him of every last drop of Demgard blood, and throw what's left into the
01:25abyss!
01:27You old bastard chaos. I crawled through the pits of hell just to reach you. Thought maybe. Just maybe.
01:36I'd finally have enough to spit in the face of fate. Fought my way through all of it. And it
01:42still wasn't enough.
01:43A whole mountain of false gods, and here I am in chains. That spark you gave me? Looks like it
01:50dies today.
01:51Wretched little mud-borne creature. The gods put bread in your mouths. And this is how you repay them? By
01:58sinking your teeth into the hand that feeds you?
02:00You are.
02:09Your blade split Apollo's golden idol in half. Sixteen holy temples. Ash. Thousands of his anointed priests choking on their
02:19own blood.
02:20Your soul belongs in the magna. Let it burn for all eternity.
02:263,000 leeches who fatten on the blood of the poor.
02:30I put them down, and I do it again.
02:43Silence, wretch.
02:45You torched holy ground, butchered priests by the hundreds,
02:47and you still have the gall to run your mouth on this tribunal.
02:50Who gave you the right to judge me, Poseidon?
02:53When the plague tore through Athens and 10,000 people rotted in the streets,
02:57where was your precious light then?
02:59People were dying in the gutters.
03:01Couldn't even get a handful of herbs.
03:03And what did your temple of light do?
03:06Sent down an oracle demanding the poor hand over their last shreff of food.
03:12Kimmeras were snatching children from their beds,
03:15and you didn't lift a finger.
03:18Then you had the nerve to call it, what was it?
03:21Oh, right. A trial ordained by Apollo.
03:29Your so-called divine authority feeds on the living, drinks from the dying.
03:33Every last one I find, I'll rip apart with my bare hands.
03:37The covenant is supposed to be a fair trade.
03:39Take the mortal's grain, then let them feed the beasts.
03:42The deli's been double-dipped, and frankly, it's getting a bit ugly.
03:47The kid's right!
03:49If it were me, I'd have tossed those white-robed cowards into my forge
03:52and hammered them into scrap metal.
03:54One by goddamn one!
03:56Sit down.
03:57This is a tribunal, not your forge.
04:02What are you to question the gods?
04:06If the Lord of Light demands an entire city burn with him,
04:09that is the honor those insects should be grateful for.
04:13Your worthless bones paved the road into his throne.
04:15That is fate's gift to you!
04:18Privilege?
04:19My only regret is I wasn't fast enough.
04:22Should have burned Apollo's 8 and you with it, you deranged old hag.
04:25Heretic!
04:27Lord Poseidon, this creature's soul is rotted beyond salvation.
04:31As High Priestess of the Temple of Light, I invoke the Well of Truth,
04:35the mirror that reflects all cause and consequences.
04:38Let it end this farce once and for all!
04:43Truth?
04:44The Well of Truth?
04:47High Priestess, strip him of his demigod power.
04:51Banish him to the wastelands of Hades.
04:53That sentence is more than enough to pay for the Temple's losses.
04:58There's no need to invoke the Well.
05:00Lord Postein!
05:01He drowned Apollo's sacred flame in his own filthy blood!
05:04He fed the profited oracles to the vultures!
05:07And now he stands before the gods and spits on the glory of the sun!
05:11Mere exile!
05:12How does that cleanse sacrilege of this magnitude?
05:15Once the Well of Truth opens,
05:17it rips a soul's fate threads wide open by force,
05:20unleashing a Judgment of the Twelve upon a mere demigod.
05:24It's out of proportion.
05:26It breaks protocol.
05:28Protocol?
05:29Then explain this.
05:31How does a nobody from the Slim survive ten years fighting in the deepest pit of Tartus?
05:37How does a mortal ascend to demigod?
05:39Something is hiding behind him.
05:42Something heretical.
05:44What the hell is this hag getting at?
05:46Don't play Hero.
05:48She wants the Well to expose whoever trained him, whoever's been protecting him,
05:53and nail them to this tribunal right next to him.
05:56Make no mistake.
05:58This is Apollo moving the pieces.
06:02Oh, this is rich.
06:04Can't crush one little mortal,
06:06so now they want to dig up whoever taught him and put them on trial too?
06:10Real classy move, Temple of Light.
06:13Lord Poseidon,
06:15the Temple of Light won't back down.
06:17Deny them this,
06:19and Apollo's fury will be difficult to contain.
06:22Perhaps it's wiser to let them see it through.
06:29The High Priestess insists.
06:31So be it.
06:33Granted.
06:34Well of Truth,
06:36descend!
06:39Bring it on!
06:41I stared down the monsters in the best.
06:42You think I'm scared of your little splash?
06:44Pour it all out.
06:45Let's see who really swirls when the truth hits the mirror!
06:52Absolute madman.
06:53That's what I wild wolf who doesn't know the rules and doesn't give a damn.
06:57Just goes for the throat and never lets go!
07:00Crazy.
07:01This kid's got nothing on you.
07:03Remember when you shot an arrow at the sun god's chariot just across a damn sea?
07:07And then you beat death himself into the dirt with your bare fists.
07:12Wrestled Alclectius' soul right out of his hands.
07:17Piss off!
07:18Stop bringing up my old crap.
07:22Back up, back up.
07:23That lunatic is fiercely protective.
07:26He once tied up Thanius and beat the living daylights out of him.
07:28Tell me about it.
07:30Not even Zeus can keep him on a sleash.
07:34Hercules, stow your tavern brow theastrix.
07:38This is the sacred tribunal.
07:40One more word out of you, you old shrick.
07:43And I'll rip what's left of your precious temple apart with my bare hands.
07:47Right now!
07:49All of you, shut up!
07:52Listen well, Theron.
07:54If the mirror proves your hands are clean, I'll grant you a quick death.
07:57But if that water shows you've been hiding behind justice for mortals while serving your own ends...
08:03I will drive this trident through your chest myself.
08:07And what's left of your soul I'll carve into pieces and feed to Cerberus.
08:13Let the gods witness!
08:15Which wretched, suicidal hair attack dared raise a creature who desiccates the light?
08:28Theron!
08:29Keep that Belus going!
08:31If I'm not back by nightfall, you head north.
08:34Beg, Grohl, do whatever it takes.
08:36Just stay alive!
08:37Don't go!
08:38It's the Hydra in those swamps!
08:40It's blood through stone!
08:41That Demophode picked his own fight!
08:43Why should you die for it?
08:48Let go of me!
08:51Hercules went out there to protect us!
08:53He's pinned down by the venom now!
08:56No fire, no way out!
08:57He's dead for sure!
09:04Hercules!
09:06I brought the fire!
09:08I brought the fire!
09:10A mortal!
09:11Get out of here!
09:12The air is pure venom!
09:14You'll be dead before you reach me!
09:16Catch it!
09:17Burn the stumps!
09:18Cogs got to rise the necks before they throw back!
09:21Theматus ice.
09:21Stop!
09:36Nothing!
09:47Have you lost your mind?
09:50The Hydra's venom eats through bronze shields.
09:52Your hands are gone.
09:54Those smithing hands are gone.
09:56Ruined hands beat a whole village full of corpses.
10:00If that thing had snapped your neck out there,
10:04those people back home wouldn't have lived to see sunrise.
10:09Go to Delphi.
10:10Find the priests at Apollo's temple.
10:14They've got holy water that can slow the poison.
10:17It'll keep you alive.
10:21Those pristine marble steps of theirs
10:24aren't meant for the likes of a sod-covered blacksmith.
10:28Take my token.
10:30Drop my name.
10:31Tell them Hercules sent you.
10:34Once I've finished these goddamn trials.
10:37I'm hauling a whole cart of gold to that city
10:40and dragging you out myself!
10:42Then I'll pray you.
10:43Make it through those trials alive, big fella.
10:47Don't let those high and mighty bastards on the mountain look down on you.
11:04Grandpa, I sold it!
11:07The forge!
11:08The last of the good iron!
11:09Even Mother's silver necklace!
11:12Sold it all to the trade caravan!
11:16The white-robed priests swore to me.
11:19If we offer everything to the Temple of Light,
11:21they'll grant us the holy water.
11:23They'll wash the venom right out of you.
11:26Grandpa, you'll be okay.
11:28We can go up those steps today.
11:30No!
11:32No!
11:32That's your money!
11:33It's everything you have left to survive on!
11:37The Temple...
11:38The Temple won't help us.
11:40The priests swore an oath in the name of the light!
11:44Grandpa, it's going to be alright.
11:45We're going up those steps today.
11:51We're going up those steps today.
12:19I should have let the Hydra's venom melt that glorious hero into a puddle of rot!
12:27This is the price of meddling in the trials of Olympia.
12:30Fate has decreed that you rot where you stand.
12:34This is everything we have.
12:35We sold everything for this.
12:37Every last coin goes to the Temple.
12:39Please, just one drop of holy water for my grandfather!
12:44The Temple of Light has no use for your peasant pocket chain.
12:56Damn it.
12:57How can a lowly blacksmith's fate be woven this deeply into the affairs of Olympus?
13:01So that's what this is.
13:03The kid chained up on this rock today.
13:05He's the grandson of the blacksmith who saved the god of war.
13:09The same old man, these white rope worms, left to rot!
13:14That can't be right.
13:15The mirror must be wrong.
13:17Enough pretending you don't see it.
13:19That shaking little boy clutching copper coins in the mirror
13:22is the man in chains on this tribunal right now.
13:25He's not here to be judged.
13:27He's here to collect a blood debt from all of Olympus.
13:36Open up!
13:37Give me the cure!
13:40I swear I'll skin every last one of you!
13:43Foolish little beast.
13:45You think mortal iron can cut through the radiance of the sun?
13:52Give him the antidote!
13:54My grandfather took that poison for your Olympians!
13:59This is the ending the mores have written.
14:01The old blacksmith tampered with a divine trial.
14:04This rotting flesh is the punishment he was meant to bear.
14:08Screw your bullshit, Oracle!
14:10You took our gold!
14:11Now give us the cure!
14:13Gold can only pave the road to the deepest pit of Hades.
14:16It can't buy you a second chance against divine will.
14:20Go kneel at the edge of the abyss and pray.
14:27Go kneel!
14:30Oh, my God.
14:35Vera, stay here, man.
14:49Grandpa! Don't close your eyes! Look at me!
15:04Seventy years! That little boy in the blizzard who couldn't buy a single drop of holy water! That was you!
15:13I bet the Temple of Light was heartbroken when I didn't have the Dixancy to freeze to death out there.
15:20Told you, Apollo breeds nothing but bloodsuckers like here.
15:25Say the word, big man. I can have a raiding party at Delphi's gates by sundown. Leave nothing but ash.
15:35Achilles, stand down!
15:37Hercules, look where you are! Reign in your power. Now!
15:42The craft of the Forge, I gave that to mankind with my own hands.
15:47That old blacksmith was my disciple among mortals.
15:50Pythria, your precious temple! Let him die like a dog in the snow!
15:56The Temple of Light thought it was putting a mortal on trial. In reality, you've been poking a demigannon Brisserta
16:03into drawing his weapon.
16:21This is blasphemy against Lord Apollo!
16:26This is blasphemy against Lord Apollo!
16:26Your petty debts don't outweigh the blood of a thousand prophets, Hercules.
16:31The wheels of fate do not turn backward.
16:36For some gutter-born nobody!
16:41To hell with Fate!
16:46I bled out in those twelve trials.
16:49So you could sit pretty in your temple!
16:53That old blacksmith caught the Hydra's venom for me!
16:57And your people ground him into dust!
17:11If this mirror shows me the old man's kin suffered even one more indignity, I will snap every pillar on
17:18this tribunal and shove them down your throats!
17:22Lord Apollo, send the sun chariot!
17:26This mad beast will tear Olympus apart!
17:31High Priestess, you unchained this beast.
17:35Now, do you still dare look deeper into that well?
17:40Tear it open! Rip his soul bare!
17:42I want every god here to see exactly who gave this monster the power to slay the Divine!
17:51Oh, this is getting good.
17:53Athena, ten gold coins says the sun god himself shows up before the hour's out.
18:00Achilles, reign in your bloodlust.
18:04Sheath the sword.
18:08Perseus, put down that rusty pig stipper of yours.
18:12Grab the Medusa shield and get to the tribunal.
18:15Things are about to get...
18:17divine.
18:31Hold on! That rusty blade in his hands!
18:33That's the old blacksmith's craft! No doubt about it!
18:36But who took that scrap metal and honed it into a weapon that can kill gods?
18:44Which means whoever reforged his mortal bones is someone else entirely.
18:49Hercules, you killed the Hydra barely seventy years ago.
18:55Seventy years isn't nearly enough for a half-frozen mortal runt to become a monster who carves through high priests
19:02like lambs.
19:03Who did he meet down in that abyss?
19:07Seventy years to cross the line between mortal and divine.
19:10That's open defiance of the loom of fate.
19:14Ha ha ha! Drop the act!
19:16That move he pulled just now?
19:18It's a dead ringer for you ripping the Nemean lion apart bare-handed.
19:22Come on, fess up!
19:23He's your secret apprentice, isn't he?
19:25You taught him how to put gods under his boot.
19:28Shut it! I don't even know his name!
19:35Phaethia,
19:36this mortal has already cracked open the laws of Olympus.
19:40You keep pulling on that thread,
19:41tracing his power back to its source,
19:44and you might just drag the sun god himself off as his high horse.
19:48I don't care!
19:49Fate's judgement cannot be halted!
19:52I want every god here to see who's been pulling the strings!
19:56Who gave Wretch Wretch the nerve to kill gods?
19:59Well of truth, accelerate the trace, now!
20:10Stop!
20:11Pythias, the presence inside the mirror has changed!
20:14This is not the power of Olympus!
20:17Stop!
20:26Pythias, the presence inside the mirror has changed!
20:29This is not the power of Olympus!
20:30I want every god here to see who gave this mortal the power to slaughter the Anointed!
20:41Well, well, a little beggar.
20:44Hercules, if this kid were really your apprentice,
20:46you'd have slapped him into paste by now, wouldn't you?
20:52Shut your mouth!
20:54If I'd trained him,
20:55every last one of these temple rats would have had their necks snapped already!
20:59They wouldn't still be standing here flapping their lips!
21:24Get loose!
21:26You and your Hydra poison filth, don't you dare defile Apollo's holy ground!
21:32Please, sir! My grandfather took that poison saving Hercules!
21:36We gave everything we had, please! Just one drop of holy water!
21:41Does the god of light only save the rich?
21:46Your handful of scrap copper wouldn't buy a single brick of this temple!
21:51He got poisoned because he deserved it.
21:54The god of light never shelters beggars!
22:00Enough!
22:04The gods are merciful.
22:06Please save my grandfather! I'll do anything!
22:16Dead men have no value, but you, you can still be useful as livestock.
22:53Dead Men
22:57Who said you could sleep?
22:59Tonight is the night of omens.
23:06Kneel before the sacred flame and hold this coin in your mouth.
23:10Three days.
23:11If the coin drops, or if you so much as close your eyes,
23:16I'll gouge them out and offer them to the sun god myself.
23:25The long night has passed.
23:28Did the great Apollo, Dean, to send you even a whisper of prophecy?
23:39The god bestowed his grace, and you have nothing to show for it!
23:45You shoved a coin in my mouth!
23:47How was I supposed to talk?
23:50Talking back now?
23:52You think you deserve to speak with the god?
23:53Get out there and leave every pedestal of every column in this courtyard.
23:58All 100 of them clean!
24:03This is what you call divine mercy?
24:06Making a seven-year-old kid lick stone pillars?
24:09Silence! Mortals are born with sin.
24:11The Temple of Light was cleansing his corruption.
24:14This is a divine trial!
24:16A trial?
24:18Why doesn't Apollo go try it himself?
24:21That old blacksmith was my disciple!
24:25And you lot trampled his grandson like this?
24:32How delightful.
24:33Priests who preach divine oracles by day and play demons by night.
24:37Tell me, Pythia.
24:39Any guesses how this kid survived all that?
24:41How he survived doesn't matter!
24:45Those who defile the gods belong in Taurasus!
25:06A filthy pig wants to eat meat?
25:10Where is your reverence for the gods?
25:15Ha ha ha ha!
25:30Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
25:47who said you could sleep copy the divine scriptures 100 times miss a single word
25:56and i break a rib your grandfather took that poison for the gods why wouldn't they even give him a
26:06scrap of
26:06bread a common blacksmith dying for the gods that's more glory than scub like him ever deserved now write
26:30glory he didn't deserve that's the doctrine of your precious temple of light
26:38this is merely the necessary trial to purge mortal weakness he refused to be civilized
26:47make him sleep in a cellar dousing him with ice water you're worse than the demons in tardos
26:58riveting stuff high priestess the mirror's not done yet care to wager what other heartwarming mercies
27:06are coming next priestess pythera the code of olympius is clear unprovoked abuse of a minor
27:13under temple sanctuary is a capital offense perseus watch your tongue abuse this was an
27:20internal ruling of the temple want the broth then say it loud admit that your village was cursed
27:29because your parents were greedy tried to hoard her offerings meant for the gods admit that your
27:35grandfather was gnawed by wild dogs because he was arrogant enough to think a mortal's iron could beat
27:41fate lies my grandfather was a hero
27:47a hero a stinking blacksmith take your tainted bloodline and go lap up the mud where you belong
28:12and you wouldn't even give him a burial mat
28:17apollo show yourself now scarding broth poured over a child's head
28:24and you wouldn't even give him a burial mat
28:25is this your idea of glorious divine scripture
28:32my arrows have pierced every manner of beast but i've never seen anything more vile than the
28:39creatures in your temple
28:58my fellow gods mortals are born in sin without the crucible of suffering how can they be worthy to gaze
29:06upon the
29:06light this is education
29:17education that old man saved my life and you you sanctonious animals enough both of you
29:28are apollo the web of lies your servants wove in the mortal world you'd better start explaining
29:35zeus calm yourself strictly treaking apollo was merely enforcing the iron law that fate cannot be
29:40reversed using scalding broth to demonstrate divine authority that is the absolute power olympus granted them
29:50so the iron law of the temple of light comes down to hiding behind temple walls and tormenting
29:56a child someone should drag these noble priests to the front lines see how much of troy their precious
30:01broth can sculpt silence the well of truth hasn't finished its trace keep watching
30:12still bitter about your pathetic bloodline the more eyes cursed you and your kind the day you were
30:18born before sundown fill the olive kiln on the back hill to the brim miss a single log and i'll
30:26skin you
30:27live and leave you alive and leave you for the wolves
30:41oh
30:45oh
30:58You haven't even lost your baby teeth, kid. Trying to outdo Hercules and his twelve labors all by yourself? You
31:05don't to you.
31:08I don't need anyone's pity!
31:18One day, I'm going to burn the Temple of Light to the ground!
31:23Rage alone won't even ruffle Apollo's cloak. If you truly want to make a god bleed, find the Centaur Kidron
31:30on Mount Pelion.
31:32He'll point you toward the Echo Rift, at the edge of the world where Tartarus whispers back.
31:46That kid when he slows, he actually jumped into the Echo Rift of Tartarus. Is he the one, the last
31:52disciple Chaos ever took?
31:57My Sun Chariot patrols every inch of the Earth! There's no rift beyond my sight!
32:03The deepest floor of Tartarus devours even a god's divine sense!
32:07A mere mortal jumping in should have been reduced to as ash!
32:11The Echo Rift. A domain the Mori's meme has never touched.
32:15It exists beyond the jurisdiction of Olympus entirely. An absolute void.
32:20Quiet!
32:22Beyond the dominion of sky and sea, there lies a chaos more ancient than any of us.
32:28The Well of Truth does not lie.
32:30Keep watching, and see what this Munal dragged out of the abyss.
32:34The Castarian Spring? Corrupted?
32:37What force on this Earth dares blind the gaze of the Sun God?
32:42This isn't a veil, Apollo. The well draws its power from the Mori, and their reach cannot penetrate this corner.
32:48A corner where even fate cannot leave.
32:51What lies buried there is an atrocity so ancient that even Zeus refuses to speak its name.
32:58The things that were cracking to Mother Gaia's belly before the War of Titans? The primordial horrors?
33:07A mortal insect. Three winters have shredded your skin and bone, yet failed to freeze your arrogance. The abyss does
33:19not harbor vermin.
33:21Take this. A drop of crystallized Titan blood. Enough to make your husk hard as bronze.
33:29Go play tyrant in the mortal world for a few centuries. Bask in their growling and stop disturbing my sleep.
33:36I crawled here over a mountain of corpses, not to become another one of your divine puppets.
33:42I want the forbidden knowledge. I want the kind of power that can drag the thrones of Olympias straight into
33:49the pit.
33:49Ten years. The toxic breath of the abyss should have ground your bones to dust, and instead it forged you
33:56into a vessel for chaos.
34:00The blade that truly pierces a god's throne is forged from mortal despair and mortal curses.
34:07The mortal called Theron is dead. Now take this cursed shell of yours, crawl back into the abyss, and sharpen
34:14your fangs.
34:21As you wish, Master.
34:23Master.
34:25And when I climb back out...
34:27I'm taking the sun god's head with me.
34:36The well of truth can't even identify that black fog?
34:40Nothing in existence should be able to hide from the mirror.
34:44My light was obliterated in that domain.
34:46The shadow in the mirror doesn't even exist within the laws of this world.
34:50It was born before light and order themselves, the primordial chaos.
34:54Naturally, the mirror cannot reflect what predates reflection itself.
34:58Chaos? The origin of all things?
35:01This mere mortal knocked on the door of the primordial void itself?
35:08Ha ha ha ha! What a beast! A mortal body!
35:11And he clawed his way into the school of chaos itself!
35:14So tell me, Apollo, do you finally realize what kind of monster you created?
35:18Shut your mouth! A herrick tainted by the forbidden chaos!
35:21Olympus cannot allow him to breathe!
35:33Put away your fire, Apollo.
35:35He's not some mortal you can torch on a whim anymore.
35:38Inside that body flows blood older than Olympus itself, the blood of the primordial.
35:44Lord Poseidon is right.
35:46The moray cannot interfere with the shadow primordial chaos left behind.
35:51My lords, we may have stumbled upon a tumor we cannot cut out.
35:59The Temple of Light will never tolerate defiling of authority!
36:04Cast him down to the deepest pit of Tartarus immediately!
36:11Olympus is stiff of that old thing in the void. Fine, I get it.
36:14But you're a disciple of chaos too, so why are you sitting there like a log?
36:19You actually bear the signal.
36:21I do.
36:21But Heracles, this mortal shell of mine, can't hold the chaos flame much longer.
36:26Swallow your despair and choke on it!
36:28You and I are of the same bloodline, chaos's own.
36:31I will not let you die on these hypocrites' stage!
36:34If Apollo drops the blade today, I'll flip this entire mountain before I let it fall!
36:41Deal.
36:41Enough! The well of truth ends here!
36:53All right, that's right now!
