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?
02:00And it doesn't.
02:10Your 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!
09:21Oh!
09:47You better stop!
09:49legs if you like it.
09:51Venom 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,
10:03those 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
10:49look down on you.
11:04Grandpa!
11:06I 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!
12:10in sparta it wouldn't buy you a single drop of opolo's holy water every promise the gods made
12:18was a lie i should have let the hydra's venom melt that glorious hero into a puddle of rot

26:30glory he didn't deserve
26:32that's the doctrine of your precious temple of light
26:38this is merely the necessary trial to purge mortal weakness
26:43he refused to be civilized
27:15whore shit
27:16make him
27:16perseus watch your tongue
27:18abuse this was an internal ruling of the temple
27:23want the broth then say it loud
27:27admit that your village was cursed because your parents were greedy
27:31tried to hoard her offerings meant for the gods
27:34admit that your grandfather was gnawed by wild dogs
27:38because he was arrogant enough to think a mortal's iron could beat fate
27:42lies
27:43my grandfather was a hero
27:47a hero
27:49a stinking blacksmith
27:51take your tainted bloodline and go lap up the mud where you belong
28:08unforgivable
28:09that old blacksmith took poison for the gods and you wouldn't even give him a burial mat
28:17apollo
28:18apollo
28:19apollo show yourself
28:19now
28:21scarding broth poured over a child's head
28:24is this your idea of glorious divine scripture
28:32my arrow
28:33every manner of beast
28:35but I've never seen anything more vile than the creatures in your temple.
28:58My fellow gods, mortals are born in sin.
29:02Without the crucible of suffering, how can they be worthy to gaze upon the light?
29:07This is education.
29:17Education? That old man saved my life!
29:20And you, you sanctonious animals!
29:24Enough, 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.
29:36Strictly treaking, Apollo was mere enforcing the Iron Law that fate cannot be reversed.
29:41Using 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 a child.
29:56Someone should drag these noble priests to the front lines.
30:00See how much of Troy their precious broth can sculpt.
30:03Silence!
30:04The well of truth hasn't finished its trace.
30:07Keep watching.
30:12Still bitter about your pathetic bloodline?
30:15The Moor-Eyes cursed you and your kind the day you were born.
30:20Before sundown, fill the olive kiln on the back hill to the brim.
30:24Miss a single log, and I'll skin you alive and leave you for the wolves.
30:29Hmph!
30:30Hmph!
30:58You haven't even lost your baby teeth, kid.
31:01Trying to outdo Hercules and his twelve labors all by yourself?
31:04You don't to you.
31:08I don't need anyone's pity!
31:10Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
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.
31:26If you truly want to make a god bleed, find the centaur Kidron on Mount Pelion.
31:32He'll point you toward the Echo Rift.
31:35At the edge of the world where Tartarus whispers back.
31:46That kid when he slows, he actually jumped into the Echo Rift of Tartarus.
31:50Is he the one, the last disciple Chaos ever took?
31:57My Sun Chariot patrols every inch of the Earth.
32:01There'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.
32:12A domain the Mori's meme has never touched.
32:16It exists beyond the jurisdiction of Olympus entirely.
32:19An absolute void.
32:21Quiet!
32:21Beyond 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?
32:36Corrupted?
32:37What force on this Earth dares blind the gaze of the Sun God?
32:42This isn't a veil, Apollo.
32:44The Well draws its power from the Mori, and their reach cannot penetrate this board.
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?
33:02The primordial horrors?
33:07A mortal insect.
33:10Three winters have shredded your skin and bone, yet failed to freeze your arrogance.
33:17The Abyss does not harbor vermin.
33:21Take this.
33:22A drop of crystallized Titan blood.
33:25Enough to make your husk hard as bronze.
33:29Go play tyrant in the mortal world for a few centuries.
33:32Bask 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.
33:44I want the kind of power that can drag the thrones of Olympias straight into the pit.
33:49Ten years.
33:51The toxic breath of the Abyss should have ground your bones to dust.
33:55And instead it forged you into 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.
34:10Now take this cursed shell of yours, crawl back into the Abyss, and sharpen your fangs.
34:21As you wish, Master.
34:25And when I climb back out, I'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.
34:53The primordial chaos.
34:54Naturally, the mirror cannot reflect what predates reflection itself.
34:58Chaos?
34:59The origin of all things?
35:01This mere mortal knocked on the door of the primordial void itself?
35:08Ha ha ha ha!
35:09What a beast!
35:10A 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!
35:19A 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.
35:39Inside 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!
36:03Cast him down to the deepest pit of Tartarus immediately!
36:11Olympus is stiff of that old thing in the void.
36:13Fine, I get it.
36:14But you're a disciple of chaos too.
36:16So 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.
36:42Enough!
36:43The well of truth ends here!
