Short filmTranscript
00:00Let a single drop of dark gold blood fall onto his tongue.
00:02I.T. burned like molten iron sliding down his throat.
00:05His bones felt like they were growing again, but his ears went sharp, terrifyingly sharp.
00:09Before sunrise, he opened his eyes inside a body bag.
00:25Hold back the dark.
00:34Tonight, none of you leave this town alive.
00:49Who are you looking for?
00:55I see you, Dawn Order.
00:58Every shadow in this town belongs to me.
01:00You cannot hide her.
01:02I will find the pureblood child.
01:11Winter nights in St. Victor City were always damp.
01:14Before that night, he always thought he was lucky.
01:16His name is Ethan Gray.
01:17Ethan had an ordinary job filing fire department records, a gentle wife named Mara, and a daughter,
01:23Lily, who covered the fridge in crayon drawings.
01:25That evening, Mara came home from the hospital.
01:27Pale, she said she'd found a batch of impossible transfusion records in the old archives.
01:32The dead were still signing their names years after they'd died.
01:34Ethan figured she was just exhausted and poured her a hot coffee.
01:37Outside, a crow landed on the streetlight and stared at their window.
01:40Late that night, Lily suddenly asked.
01:43Daddy, why are there people without shadows standing at the door?
01:47Ethan turned.
01:48The glass showed only the lamp inside.
01:50The next second, the doorbell rang.
01:51Back then, he didn't know the people outside weren't guests.
01:54They were the start of every nightmare to come.
01:56As he reached for the doorknob, Mara grabbed his wrist.
01:58Her fingers were terribly cold.
02:02Don't believe a word they say.
02:04Ethan checked the monitor.
02:06Three figures in long black coats stood outside, faces pale as freshly dug corpses.
02:10The lead man smiled.
02:11The hospital sent us to verify some files.
02:14Mara heard the voice.
02:16Her cup shattered in her hands.
02:17She lunged to lock the door, but the deadbolt had already been snapped from outside, without a sound.
02:22The three slipped into the living room like fog.
02:24Ethan grabbed the iron fireplace hook and charged.
02:27A casual swipe sent us crashing into the wall.
02:29Lily hid under the dining table.
02:31Mara planted herself in front of her.
02:33The man sniffed the air and smiled.
02:35Found it.
02:37The pureblood child.
02:38Ethan crawled up, face-licked with blood, and finally saw the fangs sliding out of their mouths.
02:42That was when he understood, the secret Mara never finished telling him had already shoved their family into the middle
02:47of a hunting ground.
02:49Ethan tried to follow.
02:50The man turned and smiled at him.
02:52It wasn't the smile a man gives an enemy.
02:54It was.
02:55The smile a man gives a delivery slip he's just signed for.
02:59The man then drove a broken table leg into one of their chests.
03:02The thing shrieked.
03:03Black smoke pouring from the wound.
03:05The other two looked stunned for the first time.
03:07An ordinary man wasn't supposed to manage that.
03:09But he was still too weak.
03:11Ethan watched Mara fall in a pool of blood.
03:13Ethan watched the dark swallow Lily's crying just as fangs were closing on his throat.
03:17Heels clicked over broken glass at the door.
03:19A silver-haired woman in red lipstick walked in.
03:21Every vampire dropped to their knees.
03:22She looked down at him like she was studying a dying wolf that still wanted to bite.
03:27Interesting.
03:29Leave him a breath.
03:32Ethan thought he'd been saved.
03:33Later, he learned she'd just picked a different hell for him.
03:36Ethan clawed toward the basement.
03:37Serafina raised a hand.
03:38The dark came down like a tie-tock.
03:40Lily's lap at the blood court.
03:41She didn't comfort him.
03:42She didn't explain.
03:43She knelt, pried his jaw open, and let a single drop of dark gold blood fall onto his tongue.
03:47I.T. burned like molten iron sliding down his throat.
03:50His bones felt like they were growing again, but his ears went sharp, terrifyingly sharp.
03:55Ethan could hear his own heartbeat slow.
03:57Ethan could hear rats running 10 streets over.
03:59Ethan could hear Mara's blood going cold.
04:01Serafina leaned close to his ear.
04:03Live, Ethan Gray.
04:04Let me see what kind of monster human hatred can raise.
04:08Then she dumped him in a graveyard outside the city before sunrise.
04:11He opened his eyes inside a body bag.
04:13The wounds were already closed.
04:14What the queen gave him wasn't life.
04:15It was a collar.
04:17Ethan tried to spit the blood out.
04:18I.T. had already taken root.
04:20Worse, he could hear his own heart starting to answer it.
04:24When he crawled out of the body bag, the first ray of dawn touched the back of his hand.
04:28His skin charred and smoked.
04:29Ethan bolted into the shadow of a headstone.
04:31Throat burning with a hunger he couldn't bear.
04:33The night watchman heard the noise and walked over.
04:35Ethan nearly threw himself on his throat.
04:36I.T. the last second.
04:38Lily's voice.
04:39Cut through him.
04:40Ethan slammed his head into the stone until blood ran down his face.
04:43After nightfall.
04:44He went home.
04:44The scene had been scrubbed clean.
04:46The police report called it a gang break-in.
04:48His wife and daughter's bodies had already been cremated.
04:50In the ashes.
04:51He found Lily's red hair clip.
04:53On the back was a rose brand he'd never seen.
04:55Before daylight would burn him.
04:56Blood would tempt him.
04:57And his daughter might not be dead at all.
04:59Ethan closed his fist around that hair clip until his knuckles went white.
05:02The rose didn't look like a marker.
05:03It looked like an invitation.
05:05Left for him on purpose.
05:06Ethan survived his first day in the cemetery.
05:08And that was when he truly understood what Serafina had given him.
05:11Not a second life.
05:12But an invisible set of chains.
05:14Sunlight burned him.
05:15Blood called to him.
05:16The breathing of normal people sounded like torture.
05:18But every time the hunger pushed him to the edge.
05:20He remembered Lily's voice under the dining table calling daddy.
05:23That sound was a nail.
05:24It pinned him to the human side.
05:25The rose brand led him to an underground bar.
05:27The music was deafening.
05:29The perfume choking.
05:30In a corner sat one of the low blood vampires who'd broken into his house.
05:33Ethan cut his palm with a silver knife.
05:35Smeared blood on a wooden stake.
05:36And waited until it was feeding on a drunk.
05:38Before driving the stake through its heart.
05:40Black blood.
05:41Pool of blood.
05:42Serafina's smile.
05:43And Lily's small back as she was carried into a black carriage.
05:45The images came too fast.
05:47Ethan knelt in a bathroom stall and threw up until his throat poor.
05:49But while Lily was still in those visions.
05:51He couldn't let himself pass out.
05:59The moment he stepped out of the bar.
06:00Every street light on the block went dark at once.
06:03A dozen black clad hunters appeared from the alley.
06:05Crossbows.
06:06Silver nets.
06:07UV lamps.
06:08All aimed at him.
06:09Ethan fought.
06:09A silver spike punched through his shoulder.
06:11And dropped him to his knees.
06:13When he woke.
06:13He was chained to a chair in an underground interrogation room.
06:16Silver at every joint.
06:17A black haired woman stood in front of him.
06:19Her name was Evelyn Crow.
06:21Head of the dawn order.
06:21They hunted vampires.
06:23Half-bloods don't get a trial.
06:26Just the fire.
06:27Ethan didn't beg.
06:28Ethan just looked at her.
06:29Do you know who killed my daughter?
06:31She was quiet for a moment.
06:33Then pressed a silver blade against his chest.
06:36Prove you're still human.
06:37When the blade came down.
06:39He wasn't afraid of dying.
06:40Ethan was afraid Mara and Lily's real cause of death would burn with him.
06:43She studied him for a long time.
06:45Like she was measuring how much soul he had left.
06:47Ethan held her gaze.
06:48Because she might be the only door to the truth he had.
06:50Stop.
06:54I am the last pure-blooded human on earth.
06:56Offered as a peace gift to the most powerful vampire duke.
07:00I never imagined I would become their living blood supply.
07:03Even less did I expect to turn into their pampered princess.
07:06And certainly had no choice.
07:07As for two centuries of war between humans and vampires, a peace agreement was signed.
07:12However, the condition of the agreement was that humans would send a young and beautiful woman to Dirk Draven's family
07:17every year, allowing her to fully integrate into the vampire family.
07:21And I am the unfortunate one who was selected.
07:23During the two-century-long battle with vampires, humans have continuously evolved through genetic modification, becoming more resilient, powerful, and
07:31swift.
07:32I am the exception, having neither enhanced strength nor any improvement in combatability.
07:37By all measurable standards I am completely useless.
07:40But I possess a talent that no one knows about.
07:43A talent that needs to be kept hidden, especially when I am about to be sent to live with predators.
07:47I can read minds.
07:49Before I was sent, the elder of the human council smiled warmly and gently patted my shoulder.
07:54You're a beautiful girl, and I'm sure you're also very smart.
07:58You'd better not mess things up.
08:00I smiled sweetly in reply.
08:02Don't worry, old man.
08:04Dren Castle is nothing like the scenes seen in horror movies.
08:07No collapsing rocks, no howling wolf packs, nor flickering torches piercing through centuries of darkness.
08:11The place is breathtakingly beautiful.
08:13Crystal chandeliers hang with dazzling brilliance, while the marble surfaces are adorned with golden patterns.
08:18Soft amber light permeates every hall, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a luxurious resort located beyond human reach.
08:23The butler is not a talking pig, nor is there a fat witch riding a broom, let alone a cat
08:28that cries when it laughs.
08:29What about the vampires themselves?
08:30The beauty is astonishing.
08:32What's particularly impressive is how stunning this beauty appears on the offensive level.
08:35Even to some extent, it seems somewhat unfair.
08:37The Duke of Dreven was tall in stature and of noble birth, with a firm jawline, a striking physique.
08:42His wife, the Duchess, exuded profound charm.
08:45Her round, liquid-like eyes were so captivating that mere gaze could make one feel as if they were about
08:48to drown in their beauty.
08:50Their son, my new brother, is a completely different story altogether.
08:53Alik Delavan stood out sharply from the enthusiastic crowd, as if carved from pale marble, and abandoned in the cold.
08:58His deep eyes were nearly black, his skin was as white as snow.
09:01Every feature of him exuded drama and tension, but his demeanor revealed utter restraint, composed and motionless.
09:06It's like some kind of dangerous presence.
09:09They hosted a grand banquet for me.
09:11Duke Draven announced to the Assembly of Ancient Vampires my adoption by them, declaring me the first human princess in
09:15vampire history.
09:17I should have been grateful, yet when they invited me to dinner, I was so frightened that I nearly trembled
09:21all over.
09:21Oh my god, I'm a walking blood bag, they're dinner.
09:24The Duchess noticed my trembling hand. She smiled a smile bright and warm.
09:28Darling, don't be afraid. The Draven family hasn't drank human blood for centuries.
09:32Besides, you're my daughter now.
09:34My dear.
09:35Excuse me? Excuse me?
09:37The Duke gently placed my hand in his palm. His voice was steady and powerful.
09:40It filled the entire room without needing to be spoken aloud.
09:43We won't hurt you, kid. You're safe here.
09:46His deep green eyes met mine, his gaze was patient, gentle, and sincere.
09:49She seems so insecure.
09:51Alaric is simply unreliable. He has a Kadaviarish expression all day long and there's really no fun at all.
09:56I may mace to childs for hundreds of years. I don't know what today's Heise is like.
10:00Whatever she wants, all for her.
10:02I genuinely felt an intense sense that I was about to lose my mind.
10:05So, what exactly are those legendary bloodthirsty monsters?
10:08Are they the overbearing helicopter parents?
10:10I took a bite of delicious food when Alaric came and sat down next to me.
10:14At least my new brother looked pretty decent, relatively speaking.
10:17As he sat down, he didn't even glance at me, completely ignoring me.
10:22His expression was like a tightly shut door, cold, and utterly incomprehensible.
10:27I hesitated for a moment.
10:29Then, I gently pulled up his sleeve and gave a completely harmless smile.
10:33Brother.
10:34His movements were so swift that I barely had time to make out what he was doing.
10:37He stepped back, yanked his sleeve away abruptly, as if my touch had caused him a burning sensation.
10:42Don't.
10:43His voice was cold and hoarse.
10:45My eyes were wide open and felt warm.
10:47His chin tensed up.
10:48Don't make me ask again.
10:51Sorry, I didn't mean that.
10:53His ears were flushed crimson, and a slow, helpless flush gradually spread across his originally
10:58flawless, pale face.
10:59I pressed my lips together tightly.
11:01This family will end my life.
11:03At the end of dinner, Alaric left early, and the Duke and the Duchess spent a full twenty
11:07minutes comforting me together.
11:09That night I couldn't sleep.
11:10The princess suite they arranged for me was exceptionally beautiful, featuring silk curtains,
11:15a canopy bed, and soft lighting.
11:17I lay there gazing at the ceiling until the tranquility became unbearable.
11:21The kitchen.
11:22I decided.
11:22A midnight snack.
11:24This is how humans normally cope.
11:25I walked twelve full steps down the corridor.
11:28A ring wrapped around my wrist and suddenly pulled me deep into the darkness.
11:32My back hit the wall.
11:33Alaric's face was only a few inches from mine.
11:35There's something off about him.
11:37His hair was damp, as if he had been sweating continuously.
11:40His cheeks were flushed.
11:42This was the first time I had seen genuine color on his face.
11:44I swallowed hard.
11:46Are you... sick?
11:48He pressed his face against the curve of my neck.
11:51His breathing was rapid and heavy.
11:53With each exhalation, it slid along my skin, sending a shiver down my spine.
11:57Shut up!
11:59Your eyes, your look is really too special.
12:02I remained completely still.
12:04Her eyes, her gaze, she's truly incredibly incredible.
12:07Stop for a moment, Alaric.
12:08At that very...
12:09Stop.
12:11Struck by lightning.
12:12I stood in the corridor, my hair sticking to my face and my heart pounding like a drum.
12:16He could have bitten me, but he didn't.
12:18The attitude is rude, but it's very safe.
12:20I added this task to my must-do list for the month, and then went back to bed to continue
12:25sleeping.
12:25At dawn, the Duke and Duchess were still sound asleep.
12:28Clearly vampires always bring about enchanting moments.
12:31Alaric is already downstairs.
12:33He looked just like a runway model who had accidentally walked into the wrong shoot location.
12:37I stared blankly.
12:38I hadn't even had time to suppress myself.
12:41I merely smiled slightly.
12:43A relic's expression remained unchanged, yet his ears flushed red once again.
12:47Butler Merlin brought a plate of breakfast, which made me gasp in astonishment.
12:51When my mother-in-law saw me laugh, she got even angrier.
12:55What are you laughing at?
12:57If you can give birth to twins, I'll wait on you, too!
13:05I wouldn't dare to have that kind of good fortune.
13:09On the night of the full moon, Darius would uncontrollably transform into a wolf,
13:13and only sex could he regain his sanity.
13:16To avoid any prying eyes, I drove out to the suburbs early.
13:30My best friend suddenly called, saying she wanted to give me something.
13:33The next day, she gives me a cursed amulet, and I immediately hanged...
13:37Sorry, I didn't mean that.
13:38His ears were flushed crimson, and a slow, helpless flush gradually spread across his
13:43originally flawless, pale face.
13:45I pressed my lips together tightly.
13:47This family will end my life.
13:48I am the last pure-blooded human on Earth, offered as a peace gift to the most powerful
13:53vampire duke.
13:54I never imagined I would become their living blood supply, even less did I expect to turn

14:15And I am the unfortunate one who was selected.

14:26I am the exception, having neither enhanced strength nor any improvement in combatability.
14:31By all measurable standards, I am completely useless.
14:34But I possess a talent that no one knows about, a talent that needs to be kept hidden, especially

16:14I nearly trembled all over.
16:15Oh my god, I'm a walking blood bag.
16:17They're dinner.
16:18The duchess noticed my trembling hand.
16:20She smiled a smile bright and warm.
16:22Darling, don't be afraid.
16:23The Dragan family hasn't drank human blood for centuries.
16:26Besides, you're my daughter now.
16:28My dear, excuse me, excuse me?
16:31The duke gently placed my hand in his palm.
16:33His voice was steady and powerful.
16:35It filled the entire room without needing to be spoken aloud.

16:44She seems so insecure.
16:45Alaric is simply unreliable.
16:47He has a cadaverish expression all day long, and there's really no fun at all.
16:50I may maced a child for hundreds of years.
16:52I don't know what today's heise is like.
16:54Whatever she wants, all for her.

18:58At that very...
18:59Stop.
19:01Struck by lightning.
19:02I stood in the corridor, my hair sticking to my face and my heart pounding like a drum.
19:06He could have bitten me, but he didn't.
19:08The attitude is rude, but it's very safe.
19:10I added this task to my must-do list for the month, and then went back to bed to continue
19:15sleeping.
19:15At dawn, the Duke and Duchess were still sound asleep.
19:18Clearly vampires always bring about enchanting moments.
19:21Alaric is already downstairs.
19:23He looked just like a runway model who had accidentally walked into the wrong shoot location.
19:27I stared blankly.
19:28I hadn't even had time to suppress myself.
19:31I merely smiled slightly.
19:33A relic's expression remained unchanged, yet his ears flushed red once again.
19:37Butler Merlin brought a plate of breakfast, which made me gasp in astonishment.
19:41I saw the phoenix gently fixing Mia's hair.
19:44Mia was spinning around him like a happy little girl, placing a crown of wildflowers on his head.
19:48Something inside me snapped.
19:50No one could watch their own sacrifices get trampled on like that.
19:54I poured everything into the celestial phoenix, until the night of his rat.
19:57He crept into my face like a female of his kind.
19:59In my past life, I chose that pure-blood celestial phoenix,
20:03only to end up doing it all for Mia, betrayed and abandoned by the divine bird.
20:07I died in the jaws of abyss beasts.
20:10I could only watch.
20:11He shielded Mia with his golden wings and flew away.
20:14He never looked back.
20:15This life?
20:16I'll give the divine bird to her.
20:18She can trouble herself with taming that stupid bird.
20:21Every ten years, the Order holds the spirit-packed ceremony for its core knights.
20:25I was the daughter of the former commander.
20:27My magic aptitude was unmatched.
20:30Naturally, I got the first pick.
20:32The spirit beasts were captured from all over the realm.
20:35Their talents varied wildly.
20:37The absolute crown jewel was the celestial phoenix.
20:40A glowing magic collar was locked around his neck.
20:43He looked down on us senior knights with pure disgust.
20:46The high priest decreed it.
20:48He assigned this divine bird to me, but the arrogant bird refused to come near me, until
20:52Mia stepped forward, holding a dying obsidian drake.
20:56The divine bird actually lowered his noble head to her.
20:59That little drake was a reject, left over from the other knights.
21:03Mia had just joined the Order.
21:04She could have waited for the next batch to pick a healthy beast, but instead, she forced
21:09her way into ours.
21:10A spirit-packed isn't a game.
21:12It's choosing who you live and die with.
21:15On a normal day, people might cowdle her, but at a moment that would decide all our futures?
21:21No one was going to indulge her.
21:23Your magical foundation is far too weak!
21:26Even if the celestial phoenix favors you now, you could never control his massive mana!
21:31Anna, I know I don't have the right to compete with you.
21:34It's just, I grew up in the countryside.
21:37I've never seen such a magnificent divine bird before.
21:40I snatched the dying drake.
21:42I rather like this obsidian drac.
21:44Since the phoenix refuses to acknowledge me, I might as well grant their wish.
21:49I'll swap with Mia.
21:52Anna, your magic aptitude is unmatched.
21:55This drake's bloodline is a mess.
21:56Keep the phoenix!
21:57Leave that dying reject to Mia!
21:59But I knew exactly what I was doing.
22:01That celestial phoenix was absolutely worthless.
22:04I'm Anna.
22:05I grew up in the Order of the Sacred Tree.
22:07When I was seven, monsters killed my parents.
22:10The archmish saved me.
22:12He took me in, as his protégé.
22:14It played out exactly like this in my past life.
22:17That arrogant bird refused to bond with me.
22:20As the archmaster's protégé, I thought I had to set an example.
22:23I poured countless elixirs and high-tier materials into him.
22:26The Order's resources weren't enough.
22:28I took dangerous guild missions, and hunted down feral monsters to afford his elixirs.
22:33I'd come back bleeding, and he wouldn't even look at me.
22:36He only cared about the herbs, snatching them like I owed him.
22:39I spent ten whole years helping him break past his beast form to take human form.
22:44His human form was breathtaking, almost godlike.
22:47But he refused to speak a single word to me.
22:49He only spoke when he needed me, to hunt for more materials, ordering me around like a servant.
22:55I was an absolute idiot.
22:57I excused his attitude.
22:59I thought one day I would finally win him over.
23:02Until one day, I returned from a mission, and I saw the phoenix gently fixing Mia's hair.
23:08His cold eyes was completely soft, full of pure adoration.
23:12Mia was spinning around him like a happy little girl.
23:15Placing a crown of wildflowers on his head, something inside me snapped.
23:19No one could watch their own sacrifices get trampled on like that.
23:22Anna, stop asking Mia to look after your phoenix when you're away.
23:26Wait, what?
23:27I never once told her to do that.
23:29But the minute you're gone, she runs straight to him.
23:32She literally told everyone you begged her to watch him.
23:36My vision went black.
23:38I was there bleeding for his resources.
23:40And she was back home, stealing all the credit?
23:43Where is her own bonded beast?
23:45What gives her the right to lay claim to mine?
23:47You mean her obsidian dragon?
23:49It died in the second year after its mana went out of control.
23:52Everything clicked.
23:53For ten years, I coddled the phoenix.
23:55I never forced a spirit pot on him.
23:56Mia's bonded beast was dead.
23:58All she needed was the next ceremony.
23:59Then, she could take him from me.
24:01What an absolute joke I was.
24:03A decade of my blood and sweat, all of it just to lift her up.
24:06I wasn't some gentle, forgiving heroine.
24:08From that day on, I made her life a living hell on missions.
24:11I was jealous.
24:13I hated her for stealing him right under my nose.
24:15My revenge completely enraged the phoenix.
24:17To punish me, he lured me into the mountains and shattered the ancient seal.
24:21The monsters flooded out.
24:23Among them was the ancient abysmen dragon, carrying an ancient, feral curse.
24:27The entire order suffered a devastating blow.
24:29The phoenix was impossibly fast.
24:31For three years, I made him the king of Atlantis.
24:36But on the day we were bound, he killed me.
24:40I've waited long enough, Korra.
24:43Now it's your turn to pay.
25:00You swore!
25:01You swore I was your one and only title mate!
25:04You swore before the altar!
25:06Before the sea god and goddess!
25:08A mate bond is for the strong.
25:10And you, Korra?
25:11You can't even sing the title aura.
25:13You're garbage.
25:14Killing you?
25:14Just cleaning up.
25:15Then my sister?
25:16Was it always her?
25:18You wanted her, not me?
25:20Without you in the way, I'd have mated her years ago.
25:24You worthless trash.
25:26Yeah.
25:27I'm a disfigured princess.
25:29Deaf to the tithes.
25:30Can't heal my own kind.
25:31I poured my whole soul into you.
25:33Like a fool in love.
25:35The sea god gave me power to test his bloodline.
25:38And I...
25:39I chose wrong.
25:41The prince I tried to save...
25:43He turned on me.
25:45He turned on me.
26:10I stole the trident for him.
26:12I gave him my love.
26:13I granted him divine power.
26:16I made him king of Atlantis.
26:18But he was just using me.
26:19He drained me dry.
26:21Then plunged the trident straight through my heart.
26:24You worthless, scarred waste of a princess.
26:26You actually thought you could have me?
26:28No.
26:29If you hadn't saved me that day,
26:31Helena would have been mine from the start.
26:32You ruined it!
26:33In your dreams.
26:35Helena is my sister.
26:36She'll never mate with you.
26:38Oh, my sweet, foolish sister.
26:41Helena, please, help me.
26:44Help you?
26:45And let you steal the crown from me?
26:53Trash, you only fit to feed abyssal worms.
26:55Farewell, my dear sister.
26:59You died with no body to bury.
27:01But my hatred burned so fierce.
27:03It dragged me back through the flames.
27:05When I opened my eyes.
27:07I was here.
27:08The day of the coming of age ceremony.
27:12Adulthood is blessing.
27:14And a curse.
27:15Before the tide calms,
27:17you must find your mates.
27:20Those who fail
27:20shall be cast into the abyssal chasm.
27:23Transformed into mindless worms of the deep.
27:27Enjoy your night.
27:28So he went back in time, too.
27:30Scared I'll choose him again?
27:31Don't worry.
27:31I don't make the same mistake twice.
27:37A bloodline this pure.
27:39He's the own Scion of the Sea God, too?
27:44I choose Helena to be my title mate.
27:48She alone is worthy of the crown.
27:50Look at the freak.
27:52She actually thought Valric would want her?
27:54She cannot even hear the tides.
27:55What a pitiful disgrace.
27:57Trash belongs in the kitchen,
27:58not at the tide binding.
27:59I can't hear the tides.
28:00In their eyes,
28:01I'm abandoned by the Sea God.
28:02And Helena,
28:03with that divine voice,
28:04they worship her like a goddess.
28:07Take it, Helena.
28:09I will make you the queen of Atlantis.
28:13No dead weight this time.
28:14Faster.
28:15I'll take my throne again.
28:17You're a long-forgotten Scion.
28:19Without me,
28:20you'll never even touch that throne.
28:21The tear of the sea goddess!
28:23Her very first tear after tide binding!
28:25The symbol of eternal love!
28:28I just saw Valric had tear of the sea goddess.
28:30It brings eternal tidal power.
28:32They say a tide binding is coming.
28:34Must be for Princess Korra.
28:38Helena?
28:38You're here?
28:40I'm here.
28:41With a binding gift.
28:43Congratulations, Korra.
28:44Is this for me?
28:45Put it on me, hurry!
28:47What are you staring at?
28:49Put it on me already!
28:51You witch!
28:52Once this binding's over,
28:53I'll end you myself.
28:56The tear of the sea goddess?
28:58You're not worthy to even touch it.
29:01See?
29:02It was never yours.
29:03You'll never take it.
29:09Don't be sad, Korra.
29:10Before you become a worm in the Abdus,
29:12I'll have Valruk assign you to clean its entrance.
29:15Just worry about yourself.
29:17That wretch
29:18barely has any divine power left.
29:20Helena,
29:21I honestly pity you.
29:23What did you just call him?
29:25Korra!
29:26You forsaken trash!
29:27How dare you insult me!
29:28You're not.
29:34Korra, my chosen one.
29:36Find the forgotten king.
29:38Fulfill your destiny.
29:40I was born able to sense Sea God's bloodlines.
29:43And with Poseidon's blessing in this life.
29:46I can see the purity of souls.
29:49But theirs?
29:50I've never seen such rot.
29:51Am I wrong, Valrik?
29:54You are drained.
29:55Go ahead.
29:56Take her if that's what you want.
29:58And when it's too late,
30:00you'll see,
30:01without me,
30:02you're nothing.
30:08I carry Poseidon's sacred blood.
30:10And you,
30:11a filthy outcast,
30:12dare speak my name?
30:13Sacred blood?
30:14The closest you've ever come to Poseidon
30:16is stealing his power in your dreams.
30:18And you dare speak his name?
30:23Gods!
30:23Her face!
30:24Like a worm chopped it!
30:26I'll see that in my nightmares.
30:27An ugly princess
30:27who can't even heal her own kind?
30:29She'll curse all Atlantis!
30:32Oops.
30:33My dearest sister,
30:34my hand slipped.
30:35I just thought
30:35everyone should see the real you.
30:37No one's ever gonna choose you.
30:38Get on your knees and beg us.
30:39Helena needs a latrine maid.
30:41Want me to say it?
30:42That you and Helena
30:43used abyssal worm venom on me?
30:44That you stole my voice
30:45and ruined my face?
30:56Cora, please!
30:57You know that's not true.
30:59You got careless
30:59and now you're blaming us?
31:00Enough, you crazy fool!
31:03Know your place!
31:05Queen Bella's jewels?
31:07Robbing the dead now, Cora?
31:08Give it back!
31:09My mother left that to me!
31:11You're a worthless princess.
31:13And Bella left you something?
31:15Oh, you want it back?
31:17Let the abysmal worms
31:18tear you apart first.
31:19Then you can have it
31:20in hell.
31:21She's a born liar!
31:22No one should mate with her!
31:23Cast her to the chasm!
31:24Guards!
31:25Drag this thing to the abyss!
31:28Let go!
31:28On what charge?
31:30Where's your proof?
31:31The charge?
31:31Your filth.
31:32That's all.
31:33Got it?
31:35This time, you'll die in the abyss.
31:38Again.
31:38Enjoy it?
31:39Valric!
31:46You can't touch her.
31:48Poseidon's law doesn't allow this.
31:50Poseidon's bloodline?
31:51So powerful.
31:52Did I got it wrong all along?
31:53The true Skion?
31:55Is him?
31:57His wolf nature rebelling against his strain.
31:59Told him to rest.
32:01He waited until no one was looking.
32:02Then he'd shift into a wolf.
32:04Nuzzling into my arms.
32:05Sylvain.
32:06I'm not strong enough yet.
32:07I must not ease up.
32:08I must protect my people.
32:10I must protect you.
32:12Or you.
32:12I finally accepted my fate.
32:14From the all-powerful Moonlight Wolf Queen
32:16to a pathetic orphan living on scraps.
32:18Then yesterday happened.
32:19A buff crash.
32:20Seven classmates dead.
32:22You included.
32:23We were all transported to this world.
32:25But the moment we hit the holy city,
32:27the wolf god snatched Lyra,
32:29the cousin who spent years bullying me.
32:31How dare you use forbidden magic
32:33to mimic the late queen's face?
32:34This is blasphemous!
32:35They say the Moonlight Wolf Queen fell four years ago.
32:38The kingdom went mad.
32:39Mad with grief.
32:40Mad with longing.
32:41I looked up.
32:42The giant stone statue towering into the clouds
32:44had my face.
32:46I let them shove us into the dungeon.
32:48Six of us, still in our modern clothes,
32:50were crammed into a filthy cell.
32:51Some cursing, some sobbing.
32:53This world was deadlier than they imagined.
32:55Lyra was taken for one insane reason.
32:57Her face.
32:58Lyra had always used makeup to mimic my look.
33:00This world will not tolerate anyone mimicking
33:02the Moonlight Wolf Queen.
33:03It is the ultimate sin.
33:05Oh no.
33:07What about her?
33:08She looks more like the queen than Lyra does.
33:10Her face.
33:12It's a perfect match for that statue outside.
33:15This freak is gonna get us all killed.
33:17Every pair of eyes snapped toward me.
33:19I snapped out of it.
33:20I stopped staring at my hand.
33:21I had just accidentally crushed a rock.
33:23Where did you say we are?
33:24Damn it.
33:24She's catatonic with fear.
33:26Forget her.
33:27She's always been a freak.
33:29Remember when she first transferred to our class?
33:31Middle of winter, she jumped into a frozen lake.
33:33Claimed she was going home.
33:35Yeah.
33:36She's a psycho.
33:38Always mumbling crazy shit.
33:40You know how she is.
33:41I heard them.
33:41They said this was a world ruled by wolves.
33:43They have no idea where we are.
33:45But I do.
33:46My silver moon empire.
33:49My name is Sylvanne, daughter of the moon goddess.
33:52I was 12 when the wolf king's son, Kale, was brought before me at the great temple.
33:55Don't be afraid.
33:57We will walk through this life together.
33:59For five years, we were inseparable.
34:01In the sixth age, the holy city rebelled.
34:03The moonlight palace, forcing us to flee as commonals.
34:06Dodging wave after wave of assassins.
34:08The journey was a nightmare of blood and shadows.
34:11We clung to each other.
34:12They are here!
34:13The saintess and the prince are alive!
34:15Did we...
34:16Did we survive?
34:17Yes.
34:18We survived.
34:19When the wolf guards finally found us, the old king was dead.
34:22Kale was thrust onto the throne, the new ruler of the wolves.
34:25I was 17.
34:26He was 12.
34:27It was like he grew up overnight.
34:28He forced himself to become a king, pushing himself past the breaking point.
34:32He poured over scrolls deep into the night until his head split with pain,
34:36his wolf nature rebelling against his strain.
34:38It hurt me to see it.
34:39I told him to rest.
34:40He waited until no one was looking, then he'd shift into a wolf, nuzzling into my arms.
34:45Sylvain, I'm not strong enough yet.
34:47I must not ease up.
34:48I must protect my people.
34:50I must protect you.
34:51I stopped pushing him.
34:52I simply shared his burden.
34:54In seven years, Kale reshaped the court with an iron grip.
34:57He purged the traitorous nobles.
34:58The blood outside the sacred forest didn't dry for seasons.
35:02They called him the Mad King, the Moon God's Wrath.
35:04Kale never spoke of it to me.
35:06Only after the bloody work was done,
35:07he would come to me and lay his head on my lap like a tired young wolf.
35:10Sylvain, today I was the devil again.
35:13You are the Wolf King.
35:14A king carries the weight of the entire pack.
35:17Not just good and evil.
35:18He would fall asleep on my knees, murmuring through the haze.
35:21Sylvain, you're the only one who isn't afraid of me anymore.
35:25But an iron hand has its cost.
35:27The next winter, during the Moon God Festival, they struck.
35:29I threw myself in front of Kale, taking arrow after arrow until I collapsed into the snow
35:34of the sacred forest.
35:35The wounds were too deep.
35:37My vision blurred, but I saw him, the Great Wolf King, stumbling, falling.
35:40He crawled through the blood-stained snow just to reach my side.
35:43Don't go, Sylvain.
35:44Please.
35:45Don't abandon me.
35:47I beg you.
35:48His hands shook as he tried to wipe the blood from my cheeks.
35:51But the more he wiped, the more it spread.
35:53My divine queen!
35:55She was always so proud of her beauty!
35:58Why won't the blood stop?
36:00I took my last breath in his arms.
36:02I wanted to tell him it was okay, but the darkness changed me first.
36:05I thought that was it.
36:06My story finished.
36:07Then my eyes blew.
36:08A strange villain.
36:11I woke up in a world of glass and steel, stripped of my magic and my throne.
36:15For four years I endured Lyra's torment, the slaps, the spit, the stolen inheritance,
36:19all while clawing for a way back.
36:21I couldn't leave Kale alone in his winter.
36:23I had to return.
36:24So I thank the moon goddess for that one final bus crash.
36:27I am home.
36:28Damn it!
36:28I knew you were a curse!
36:30I looked up at him.
36:31What are you staring at?
36:32I caught his wrist mid-air.
36:34With one flick of my hand, I sent him flying across the cell.
36:37Everyone froze.
36:38You- you've lost your mind!
36:39We're trapped in this hellhole and instead of keeping your head down, you fight back!
36:42Why wouldn't I?
36:43I felt the power surging back.
36:44Four years in their world.
36:45Four years I couldn't adapt.
36:47Had to swallow everything just to survive.
36:49Now, now I'm in the Silver Moon dynasty.
36:51My dynasty.
36:52Dorian scrambled up.
36:53Rage twisting his face.
36:54He grabbed a rock from the floor.
36:55Enough, Dorian!
36:56You kill her and we're all in deep as shit!
36:58Just call her a heretic.
37:00Hand her to the warden.
37:01I heard wolf torture methods are creative.
37:03She'll suffer plenty.
37:05Guards!
37:06There's another heretic in here!
37:08Shut your mouth!
37:10My lord!
37:10Another blasphemer.
37:11She used forbidden arts to mimic the Divine Wolf Queen's face.
37:14Ow!
