00:00:26Today, Avalon ends this!
00:00:30That dragon dies!
00:00:56Master, are you hurt?
00:01:00Where is Aldrich?
00:01:10Need a hand, Master?
00:01:14Are you going to let it kill me?
00:01:17Not a chance.
00:01:47I'm going to let it kill you.
00:01:49Master, aren't you going to praise me?
00:01:52There's your praise.
00:01:54Now pack your things.
00:01:57Leave the Isle, go to the mainland.
00:01:59Why? Because I was late and a bit too pleased with my magical gift?
00:02:05Because you're ready.
00:02:07Over ten years ago, I brought you back to the Isle of Avalon.
00:02:11Your grandfather's death has been haunting you ever since.
00:02:14Now that you've become the best mage the world has ever seen,
00:02:17you should go to find the truth.
00:02:22Master.
00:02:25Also, this is the marriage your grandfather arranged for you.
00:02:29When you go back, do not forget to fulfill the betrothal.
00:02:33What? I have a fiancée.
00:02:40Lady Ellora Aldwyn.
00:02:49State your business.
00:02:51I'm looking for Duke Aldwyn.
00:02:53Yeah, you and every bregger in the kingdom.
00:02:56Scram.
00:03:02You're Aldrich.
00:03:04That's me.
00:03:05I've been waiting for you.
00:03:08Follow me.
00:03:18Someone's cursed this place.
00:03:26After I break this engagement, I'll warn them.
00:03:30Consider it my compensation.
00:03:40My lady, the boy is here.
00:03:42No manners.
00:03:46You want one?
00:03:50I came to see Duke Aldwyn.
00:03:52Where is he?
00:03:53His lordship isn't available to just anyone.
00:03:56Whatever you have to say, you can say it to me.
00:03:58Fine. Works for me.
00:04:06So, you've come about the betrothal.
00:04:09Yep.
00:04:10House Aldwyn has stood for over a hundred years.
00:04:14In wealth and status, we are the greatest family in this town.
00:04:19Like the chair you're sitting on, it took two million gold to build,
00:04:24reserved only for the head of House Aldwyn alone.
00:04:28Do you understand what I'm telling you?
00:04:30Your house is wealthy.
00:04:32For generations, our marriages have been between equals.
00:04:36Different stations, different births.
00:04:39It only ends badly.
00:04:41To make it clear, House Aldwyn cannot marry its daughter to a penniless beggar.
00:04:46I'm here to break the engagement.
00:04:48But I didn't expect House Aldwyn to look down on people like this.
00:04:52Fine.
00:04:53It saves me the trouble of explaining.
00:04:56Here is two million in gold.
00:05:00Take the money.
00:05:01Leave my daughter.
00:05:03Go as far away as you can.
00:05:08Two million.
00:05:09Your house truly is wealthy.
00:05:11What?
00:05:12You want more?
00:05:12I'll write you a note of the three million.
00:05:15Hmm.
00:05:16Ten million.
00:05:17Boy, don't be ungrateful.
00:05:19Greed will be your ruin.
00:05:21You might not live to spend it.
00:05:23I don't want any of this money.
00:05:29And the marriage?
00:05:30I'm the one calling it off.
00:05:34Duke Aldwyn won't let this go.
00:05:36Maybe I'll have to talk to him later in person.
00:05:38My lady.
00:05:39Should I find someone to deal with him?
00:05:43No deaths.
00:05:45Just teach him a lesson.
00:05:48Make sure he leaves the town.
00:05:50Yes, my lady.
00:06:18Yes, my lady.
00:06:28Grandfather.
00:06:29About the marriage.
00:06:31I meant to go to House Aldwyn and cancel it.
00:06:34But the Aldwyns were so arrogant.
00:06:37I taught them a small lesson.
00:06:41But no matter how this ends,
00:06:43I'll repay Duke Aldwyn's kindness.
00:06:45I know you two are close.
00:06:47Stuart Marcus says make it clean.
00:06:49Kill the boy.
00:06:4910,000 gold each.
00:07:04Don't blame us, kid.
00:07:05You crossed the wrong people.
00:07:10Who?
00:07:22What the fuck?
00:07:25What the fuck?
00:07:32Talk.
00:07:34Who sent you?
00:07:35No one, no one, no one.
00:07:38You want to go back in the water?
00:07:42It was Stuart Marcus who sent us.
00:07:45So afraid of me marrying into the family.
00:07:48Get out of here.
00:07:51Young man.
00:07:52Mercy is a virtue.
00:07:54You did the right thing letting them go.
00:07:56Good, sir.
00:07:57Thank you for saving me.
00:07:59You could see my spell.
00:08:01Young man, you're more than meets the eye.
00:08:03And children who honor their elders are rare these days.
00:08:10Good, sir.
00:08:11You have a shadow curse on you.
00:08:14If you don't treat it soon, it will destroy you from within.
00:08:19You know healing magic?
00:08:22You know healing magic?
00:08:24A little.
00:08:25Can you cure me?
00:08:26Sure.
00:08:28Please sit.
00:08:29I'm going to use Avalon needles to cleanse your curse.
00:08:50The shadow assassin has come for me.
00:08:52I can't protect you.
00:08:54Go.
00:08:54Good, sir.
00:08:55Focus on your healing.
00:08:57Leave this one to me.
00:08:59This is between me and Silas.
00:09:01Walk away.
00:09:02I'll let you live.
00:09:04Shut up.
00:09:05I've been wanting to see what the infamous shadow magic has become.
00:09:09You're asking for death.
00:09:19My rims.
00:09:21They're broken.
00:09:22Who are you?
00:09:23A maid from Avalon.
00:09:24Killed a shadow assassin with one strike.
00:09:28Avalon magic lives up to its reputation.
00:09:31Good, sir.
00:09:32You're cured.
00:09:35I've been wounded for nearly ten years.
00:09:38I've seen every healer in the realm.
00:09:40All of them failed.
00:09:42Then you show up.
00:09:43One treatment.
00:09:45And the pain is gone.
00:09:47This is the legendary Avalon needle art?
00:09:50Yes.
00:09:51I learned this from my master Theron.
00:09:54Your master invented these root stones.
00:09:57Let's anyone in the kingdom talk to each other, no matter how far apart.
00:10:00Take it.
00:10:01I've made a link between your rune stone and mine.
00:10:04Next time you're in trouble, just say my name into the stone.
00:10:08I'll appear.
00:10:09I've always wanted one.
00:10:12Master Theron never allowed.
00:10:14Thanks, sir.
00:10:15I'll see you around.
00:10:21You drove Aldric away.
00:10:23Both of you.
00:10:26Father, what are you talking about?
00:10:28What's wrong?
00:10:29Ask your wife.
00:10:31Ask her what she's done.
00:10:34What happened?
00:10:35How could our daughter marry some penniless island boy?
00:10:39Father, Isolette isn't wrong.
00:10:42How could a penniless boy match our house's standing?
00:10:45You fool!
00:10:47Penniless has any family not known poverty?
00:10:53Has House Aldun never known poverty?
00:10:56You drove Aldric away.
00:11:01You'll regret this.
00:11:03Find him.
00:11:05Find him now.
00:11:07If you don't bring Aldric back, you can forget about being heir.
00:11:18Aldric!
00:11:19Do I know you?
00:11:20It's Tessa.
00:11:21You disappeared for 12 years and that's all you have to say.
00:11:24Do I know you?
00:11:2412 years and you still hug just as hard.
00:11:27You deserved it.
00:11:28Where have you been?
00:11:28We thought you were dead.
00:11:29Remote island.
00:11:30Studying with my master.
00:11:32Studying what?
00:11:32How to be a hermit?
00:11:34Something like that.
00:11:35Oh, and Duncan, he's the steward at a tavern now.
00:11:39He's going to lose his mind when he sees you.
00:11:40But first, you need new clothes and a haircut.
00:11:46As steward, zero tolerance, zero mistakes.
00:11:50Get it fixed.
00:11:51Now.
00:11:54Duncan!
00:12:00No way.
00:12:04You son of a...
00:12:10You grew.
00:12:11You actually grew.
00:12:13And you got presentable.
00:12:16What happened to the scrawny kid who cried when he scraped his knee?
00:12:19He grew up.
00:12:23Barely.
00:12:24Where the hell have you been?
00:12:26Remote island.
00:12:28Studying with my master.
00:12:29Studying what?
00:12:31Duncan.
00:12:32Aldrich just came out of the Isles.
00:12:34We need to take care of him in town.
00:12:36Don't worry, Aldrich.
00:12:38As long as I have food on my plate,
00:12:41you'll have some too.
00:12:43We'll be brothers for life.
00:12:45When I make it,
00:12:47I'll never let you go hungry.
00:12:51Thanks, Duncan.
00:12:53Don't mention it.
00:13:02Tessa!
00:13:03Lily!
00:13:04What are you doing here?
00:13:05I came here to drink with my friend from the Academy.
00:13:07All elites.
00:13:09Upper class of the town.
00:13:10Oh, what a coincidence.
00:13:12I forgot you just got into the town academy.
00:13:14I should introduce you to them.
00:13:16This is Lady Alara Aldwyn of House Aldwyn.
00:13:28Lady Alara is so beautiful.
00:13:32Our Alara is the most beautiful girl in town.
00:13:35Everyone knows that.
00:13:36Don't call me Lady Alara.
00:13:38I'm one year ahead.
00:13:39Call me sis.
00:13:40Or just Alara.
00:13:41And if anyone gives you trouble at the Academy,
00:13:43you tell me.
00:13:45Thank you, sis.
00:13:49And this is Sir Godfrey.
00:13:51Hair to the Merchant Guild.
00:13:52And this is Sir Percival.
00:13:54Hello.
00:13:56And this?
00:13:57I've got no titles.
00:13:59Professional Island Dweller.
00:14:01So, you're just a commoner.
00:14:05Since Tessa is Lily's friend, why don't we all drink together?
00:14:09Duncan will have your finest room.
00:14:14Fine with me.
00:14:15Fine with me, Alara.
00:14:16Fine.
00:14:17Come, Tessa.
00:14:18I'll tell you about the Academy.
00:14:21Go.
00:14:22Have fun.
00:14:23I'll be here with Duncan.
00:14:25I'm fine.
00:14:26You're coming, too.
00:14:28Him.
00:14:29Him.
00:14:29Nobles don't share air with commoners.
00:14:31Especially not one from whatever flea-bent island he calls home.
00:14:37Tessa is from my Academy.
00:14:39Sir Godrew's letting you come as a favor.
00:14:43Then count me out.
00:14:44If my friend isn't good enough for your table, neither am I.
00:14:48Enough.
00:14:49Either we all go, or nobody goes.
00:14:51We're here to have fun.
00:14:52Not to measure status.
00:14:54My unknown betrothed.
00:14:56Has a spine.
00:14:57Good to know.
00:15:00Fine, fine.
00:15:01More people, more fun.
00:15:10A toast.
00:15:16New friends.
00:15:18Let's take out runestones and make links with each other.
00:15:22Hey, Carmener.
00:15:23You first.
00:15:27I don't know how to make a link.
00:15:33You don't know how to use a runestone?
00:15:36Never needed one.
00:15:38He just got to town.
00:15:40Leave him alone.
00:15:41It's fine.
00:15:42First time for everything.
00:15:43Take out your stone.
00:15:44I'll teach you.
00:15:46Bold of you to assume he has one.
00:15:52What is that?
00:15:53A pebble?
00:15:55So small and plain.
00:15:57Did they make this specially for peasants?
00:15:58I like it.
00:15:59It was a gift.
00:16:01Here's the deal.
00:16:02You play the drums for us.
00:16:05Sing one of those Yahoo tunes from your little island.
00:16:07And I'll buy you the best rude stone gold can buy.
00:16:10Deal?
00:16:11Play, play.
00:16:13Stop it.
00:16:18Don't think you can take Taina just because she's nice to you.
00:16:21Hillbilly.
00:16:23You playing or not?
00:16:24Give me back my stone.
00:16:26This junk.
00:16:28I could buy ten of these and not feel it.
00:16:37You couldn't afford to replace it.
00:16:39Friend, watch your mouth.
00:16:41You're not my friend.
00:16:44You ungrateful brat.
00:16:46Sir Godfrey treats you with respect.
00:16:48And you will see blood today.
00:16:53You dare curse me.
00:16:57Lively in here.
00:17:06Pretty girl.
00:17:08What do you want?
00:17:09Can't you see this is a human's party?
00:17:11Come with me.
00:17:12You'll serve my lord.
00:17:14Big bags of gold for you.
00:17:16Who the hell are you?
00:17:19You're asking who I am?
00:17:21You heard me.
00:17:22I'm the heir of House Piscival.
00:17:23Now get lost while you still can.
00:17:26Look at Sir Percevice.
00:17:28Now that's a real man.
00:17:30Standing up to rude, violent orcs.
00:17:34Not like some people.
00:17:36Cowards.
00:17:37Are you going to get lost or not?
00:17:47I hate it when people point fingers at me.
00:17:56You ask who I am.
00:17:58Who am I telling me to get lost?
00:18:00Blood.
00:18:01Blood.
00:18:01That peasant was right about the blood.
00:18:03Still asking who I am.
00:18:07I won't ask.
00:18:08I won't ask.
00:18:09I won't ask.
00:18:10Sir Godfrey.
00:18:11Help me.
00:18:13Friend, you've barged into my room and hurt my people.
00:18:16That's not right.
00:18:17And who the hell are you?
00:18:18I am Sir Godfrey.
00:18:20My father is Lord Godfrey, head of the Merchant Guild.
00:18:24He's friends with some of the best mages in the kingdom, even from Avalon.
00:18:28You don't want to start a war between two races.
00:18:31I believe.
00:18:32So, why don't you show some respect and let us have fun?
00:18:36The Merchant Guild.
00:18:38Lord Godfrey.
00:18:40Best mages in the kingdom.
00:18:42Avalon.
00:18:42Yes.
00:18:45Barely.
00:18:46I'll give you that much.
00:18:49But I'm not finished.
00:18:51Your friend, I can let him go.
00:18:56But this girl, she comes with me.
00:18:59My lord doesn't take no for answer.
00:19:06No.
00:19:07She's not going either.
00:19:11Are you sure?
00:19:14I don't know where you're from.
00:19:15But in this room tonight, you're not taking anyone.
00:19:18Which young lord is so important that...
00:19:27I can't even take someone away.
00:19:33Baron Rathburn.
00:19:35I didn't...
00:19:37These the ones?
00:19:38They're the ones who stopped me.
00:19:41So you're the Merchant Guild's young lord.
00:19:44Baron Rathburn.
00:19:45If I'd known it was you...
00:19:47If you'd known it was me, what?
00:19:48You would have kissed my boots.
00:19:52Who is he?
00:19:54Baron Rathburn.
00:19:55He runs the underground world.
00:19:57Those orcs are his mercenaries.
00:19:59He hires them for the dirty work.
00:20:02So what?
00:20:03Sir Godfrey has the whole Merchant Guild.
00:20:06Shut up.
00:20:08Smart boy.
00:20:11The girl.
00:20:12She comes with me.
00:20:15Not a word, boy.
00:20:17Not one.
00:20:19No.
00:20:20You're not taking her.
00:20:23Then I'll take you instead.
00:20:25Baron Rathburn, she's...
00:20:26You speak again.
00:20:27I cut out your tongue.
00:20:34Take both women.
00:20:36Don't come closer.
00:20:39Stay back.
00:20:42Today,
00:20:44none of you are taking anyone.
00:20:50Who said that?
00:20:56Here's your chance.
00:20:58Everyone in your crew kneels.
00:21:00Apologizes to Tessa.
00:21:03Then this whole thing is over.
00:21:13You have no idea who you're talking to.
00:21:16No.
00:21:17But I know that if you don't kneel and apologize,
00:21:22that leg is mine.
00:21:23You're insane.
00:21:24Sir Godfrey couldn't handle this.
00:21:26And you think you can?
00:21:27You're going to get us all killed.
00:21:29He's right.
00:21:30Don't drag us down with you.
00:21:31Baron Rathburn.
00:21:33We don't know him.
00:21:34He's nothing to us.
00:21:36Aldric, this isn't your fight.
00:21:37I've got it.
00:21:38Please take care of Tessa for me, Lady Alara.
00:21:40You still don't know who you're talking to.
00:21:46I don't know.
00:21:47And I don't care.
00:21:48But that leg,
00:21:50it's mine.
00:21:51You're dead, you man!
00:22:10No wonder you're so cocky.
00:22:13You're a fighter.
00:22:15Aldric, careful.
00:22:17Rathnith is not a quitter.
00:22:19Here's your chance.
00:22:20Get on your knees,
00:22:21say you're sorry.
00:22:23Maybe,
00:22:23maybe I'll let you walk out.
00:22:25That's what I should be saying to you.
00:22:26You heard him.
00:22:27Get him!
00:22:33Stop!
00:22:39I want to know who's causing trouble in my cabin.
00:22:45Who's that?
00:22:47Lady Raven.
00:22:48She runs this place.
00:22:49Baron Rathburn.
00:22:51What brings you here?
00:22:53Raven.
00:22:54Long time.
00:22:55Saw a girl I liked.
00:22:57In your place.
00:22:58Can't sleep without her.
00:23:00What do you want me to do, huh?
00:23:01That girl doesn't work for me.
00:23:03Don't make this difficult.
00:23:06Then you take her place tonight.
00:23:08How about that?
00:23:10And if I say no?
00:23:12Then give me your tavern.
00:23:13The shares.
00:23:15Let me run.
00:23:16You want my little business?
00:23:17Fine.
00:23:18No problem.
00:23:20Really?
00:23:21But I'm not the only owner.
00:23:23Let me talk to Count Valerius.
00:23:26If he agrees, it's yours.
00:23:28Count Valerius.
00:23:29Go ahead, lady.
00:23:30In this town, no one.
00:23:33Shut up!
00:23:38Raven.
00:23:39No need to bother the old man over something this small, right?
00:23:43Forget it.
00:23:44Matter's settled.
00:23:45Oh, thank the gods.
00:23:46She helped us.
00:23:47Then go.
00:23:49Slowly.
00:23:50I won't see you out.
00:23:53Let's go.
00:23:56I didn't say you could leave.
00:24:05What did you say?
00:24:07I said...
00:24:08I didn't say you could leave.
00:24:10Here's your chance.
00:24:11Everyone in your crew gets on their knees, apologizes to Tessa.
00:24:15Or you lose a leg.
00:24:17Your choice.
00:24:18Raven.
00:24:19You see, I tried to play nice.
00:24:21This isn't on me.
00:24:22This young friend just came to town.
00:24:24Doesn't know how things work.
00:24:26An islander.
00:24:27Aldric.
00:24:28Let it go.
00:24:29For me.
00:24:30Do me this one favor.
00:24:31Why should I do you any favors?
00:24:34What are you doing?
00:24:35They have more orcs outside.
00:24:36Even Lady Raven couldn't stop them all.
00:24:38She got us out.
00:24:38Take Tessa and go.
00:24:40Duncan.
00:24:41You told me once.
00:24:43No matter what, you'd never let anyone hurt Tessa.
00:24:45What happened to that?
00:24:47It's not that simple.
00:24:48This is his territory.
00:24:49He knows every corner, every exit.
00:24:51We're in his backyard now.
00:24:52Sometimes you have to know when to walk away.
00:24:53I don't walk away.
00:24:55And they're nothing.
00:24:57Now you understand.
00:24:58I could crush you like an ant.
00:25:01Apologize.
00:25:02Crawl through my legs, maybe.
00:25:04Maybe I'll forgive you.
00:25:05I thought he was different.
00:25:12This is my apology.
00:25:17You...
00:25:18You hit me.
00:25:21You!
00:25:33My head!
00:25:35What are you waiting for?
00:25:37Kill him!
00:25:41If anyone touches him, they go through me.
00:25:44Duncan!
00:25:45He's my brother.
00:25:46I'm not leaving him.
00:25:50Come on, then.
00:25:53Still the same, Duncan.
00:25:55Take Tessa.
00:25:57Go.
00:25:57I'll hold them.
00:25:58No need.
00:25:59I'm not done.
00:26:03I gave you a chance.
00:26:05You didn't take it.
00:26:08You gambling den bosses.
00:26:10Why can't you ever use your heads?
00:26:15Get him!
00:26:17Now!
00:26:54Do you have all this money?
00:26:56Couldn't you afford better, Ladeus?
00:26:59Call everyone!
00:27:00All my men!
00:27:01Now!
00:27:04Call them!
00:27:05All of them!
00:27:06I want him dead!
00:27:12Stop them.
00:27:14Don't let them call for reinforcements.
00:27:18You're insane.
00:27:20Do you know how many men he has outside?
00:27:23No.
00:27:24But my master taught me something.
00:27:26When you fight, you fight to win.
00:27:27You don't leave pieces behind to come after you later.
00:27:30Get the civilians out.
00:27:31Now.
00:27:36Please take care of Tessa, Lady Alara.
00:27:42I'm not leaving you, Aldrich.
00:27:44You're leaving with me.
00:27:45That's how you help him.
00:27:58Who are those things?
00:28:02Rathfall's reinforcements.
00:28:04The whole damned crew.
00:28:06That kid's finished.
00:28:08No one walks out of that.
00:28:09Don't say that.
00:28:11Aldrich won't lose.
00:28:13He's a fraud.
00:28:14How can you still believe in him?
00:28:15Because he's never let me down.
00:28:18Not once.
00:28:20I believe him too.
00:28:22We wait.
00:28:24Together.
00:28:28You're dead.
00:28:30You hear me?
00:28:31My men are coming.
00:28:32You're dead.
00:28:36You're dead.
00:28:42Shut up.
00:28:46You want him?
00:28:48You go through me.
00:28:54Kill him!
00:29:22Tell Count Valerius, there's a master mage here.
00:29:26Yes, Lady Raven.
00:29:28Is that all of them?
00:29:31I was hoping for a challenge.
00:29:34That was incredible!
00:29:36You have to teach me!
00:29:38It's just magic.
00:29:40Teach me!
00:29:41Please!
00:29:51Master Corvus, destroy him!
00:29:56Who's the old man?
00:30:00You don't know who I am?
00:30:04He's the Storm Fist.
00:30:06The legendary...
00:30:08Keep a low profile.
00:30:11Storm Fist.
00:30:12More like Storm Hair.
00:30:14That's a lot of hair.
00:30:17Young man, you don't know what you're getting into.
00:30:25Don't blame me if I hit too hard.
00:30:32Oh, here we go.
00:30:35Storm!
00:30:40I wasn't ready.
00:30:41That's a sneak attack.
00:30:43No honor.
00:30:44Sorry.
00:30:44I didn't know you weren't ready.
00:30:47Try again.
00:31:04Yeah!
00:31:05Yeah!
00:31:07Yeah!
00:31:18That's impossible.
00:31:20He broke through my mage armor.
00:31:29Stop, please.
00:31:31I surrender.
00:31:31I give up.
00:31:40You win.
00:31:42Your turn.
00:31:53Count Valerius is here.
00:32:10Count Valerius is the real owner of this place.
00:32:13Who's that next to him?
00:32:15Master Sylvanus.
00:32:16Master of the open hand.
00:32:18Strongest fighter in the town.
00:32:19He's never lost.
00:32:20Will Aldric be okay?
00:32:22Him?
00:32:22He couldn't even handle Rathbid's orcs.
00:32:24Now Valerius is here.
00:32:26Aldric's not walking out of there.
00:32:27He brought this on himself.
00:32:29Godris, go in there.
00:32:31Talk to him.
00:32:31Beg if you have to.
00:32:32Me, Alara, my own father couldn't get Valerius to budge.
00:32:36Unless your grandfather came.
00:32:38He won't come.
00:32:39Then I'll go myself.
00:32:40He's a nobody.
00:32:41You'd risk making an enemy of Count Valerius for him?
00:32:43He's more of a man than you'll ever be.
00:32:44I'm coming too.
00:32:48Aldric.
00:32:48Let's see if you can get out of this one.
00:32:56You two.
00:32:58You trash my place.
00:33:00And you think you can just walk out.
00:33:02Count Valerius.
00:33:04It's complicated.
00:33:05Nothing complicated.
00:33:07So Rathshid's mercenaries did this.
00:33:10Rathshid disrespects me.
00:33:13He wouldn't dare.
00:33:17Is it him?
00:33:18Yes.
00:33:19The Stormfist.
00:33:1920, maybe 30 years of training.
00:33:21All of it.
00:33:22Wasted.
00:33:23Who did this?
00:33:25Him.
00:33:28So young.
00:33:30And he defeated the Stormfist.
00:33:32Impressive.
00:33:34Who trained you?
00:33:36None of your business.
00:33:38Young man.
00:33:40Don't think a little training makes you invincible.
00:33:43Arrogance is a slow poison.
00:33:45It kills before the blade ever touches skin.
00:33:48Are you done?
00:33:49There's nothing else we're leaving.
00:33:51You think you can leave?
00:33:52What do you want?
00:33:53Count Valerius.
00:33:54He saved us.
00:33:55Can't we let this go?
00:33:56I know.
00:33:57But they trashed my place.
00:33:59Everyone knows the crown stag is mine.
00:34:01If I let them walk out, what does that say about me?
00:34:05What's your point?
00:34:05You and your friend.
00:34:07Work for me.
00:34:08Join my organization.
00:34:09Duncan.
00:34:10Thank the Count.
00:34:11He's offering you a place.
00:34:12I'll work for you.
00:34:13You saved me.
00:34:14But Aldric is my brother.
00:34:16I can't speak for him.
00:34:17The Count is powerful.
00:34:19If you just...
00:34:19No.
00:34:20I am myself.
00:34:21I don't belong to anyone.
00:34:24Is that so?
00:34:25Yes.
00:34:26Then you're not leaving.
00:34:31Last chance, boy.
00:34:33I don't need chances.
00:34:35You have skill.
00:34:37I admit that.
00:34:38But Master Sylvanas is a master of the open hand.
00:34:41Not just anyone can beat him.
00:34:43I don't want to hurt a child.
00:34:45Last chance.
00:34:46Join Count Valerius.
00:34:47Now.
00:34:48I'll give you a way out.
00:34:49I already said no.
00:34:51Fine.
00:34:52Then watch.
00:34:54Bring them.
00:34:59What are those for?
00:35:01Master Sylvanas will show you what real martial arts look like.
00:35:07Tiger plounce!
00:35:10Tiger pounce.
00:35:13Crushing fist!
00:35:16Crushing fist!
00:35:20You think this is a joke?
00:35:22It's a circus act.
00:35:24You should charge admission.
00:35:26You'll regret that.
00:35:34What?
00:35:35What is this?
00:35:36What have you done?
00:35:38Your hands are gone.
00:35:40Open hand.
00:35:46My turn.
00:35:52My name is Aldrich.
00:36:02Count Valerius.
00:36:03I've failed you.
00:36:05We'll meet again.
00:36:06Let's go.
00:36:11Aldrich is it.
00:36:12You've got skill.
00:36:14Even Sylvanas couldn't touch you.
00:36:16The young generation?
00:36:17Terrifying.
00:36:19Count Valerius.
00:36:20Let this go.
00:36:21Please.
00:36:23So.
00:36:24You still won't join me?
00:36:26No.
00:36:26Fine.
00:36:27You've got spine.
00:36:30But spine is useless when your friend's way's brains are on the floor.
00:36:39Your magic might save yourself.
00:36:41But can it save him from point blank range?
00:36:44One twitch of my man's finger and your friend's story ends.
00:36:47So let's try again.
00:36:48Join me.
00:36:49Or watch him die.
00:36:50Stop.
00:36:54Don't worry.
00:36:55I'm here.
00:36:59Count Valerius.
00:37:01You're Duke Aldwyn's granddaughter.
00:37:04Yes.
00:37:05What do you want?
00:37:05I want you to release my friends.
00:37:08Both of them?
00:37:09Both.
00:37:10Ha!
00:37:11Lady Alara comes to ask for mercy.
00:37:13How could I refuse?
00:37:15In this city, no one refuses Duke Aldwyn.
00:37:18Thank you, Count Valerius.
00:37:20But...
00:37:21I gave your house what it wanted.
00:37:23Now you give me what I want.
00:37:25What do you mean?
00:37:26Your family's new trade route.
00:37:28I want you.
00:37:30I don't handle family business.
00:37:32I can't...
00:37:32Then you can't speak for your house, can you?
00:37:35So why should I do you any favors?
00:37:39Count Valerius.
00:37:40Release my friends.
00:37:42I'll remember this.
00:37:43I'll find a way to repay you.
00:37:45And how?
00:37:47I...
00:37:49Sorry.
00:37:50I need to take this.
00:37:59Wow.
00:38:00I suppose that's what they call Link.
00:38:03Hello.
00:38:04Aldric.
00:38:05It's Silas.
00:38:06Silas, what's going on?
00:38:07I learned yesterday that the Valerius family wanted to build a new castle right on top of your grandfather's grave.
00:38:17They were going to relocate him.
00:38:19And?
00:38:19Then I immediately spoke to the head of the Valerius family.
00:38:23The cemetery stays untouched.
00:38:25That's... that's great. Thank you.
00:38:27You saved my life, kid.
00:38:29This is nothing.
00:38:30And how do you feel now? The Needles should have done their work.
00:38:33Getting better by the day.
00:38:34I'm happy for you.
00:38:36Aldric.
00:38:37Oh, one more thing.
00:38:39Do you know someone named Count Valerius?
00:38:43I know him. Why?
00:38:44He's got a crossbow pointed at my best friend's head right now.
00:38:47I'm trying to decide if I should let him live.
00:38:50For your sake.
00:38:54Aldric, what are you saying?
00:38:56I'm thinking about letting him live.
00:38:59Letting him live? He's the one with a crossbow to Duncan's temple.
00:39:02Aldric, please.
00:39:03Just give him what he wants.
00:39:05Duncan can't even breathe right now.
00:39:07Aldric, you don't have to pretend.
00:39:10I'll talk to Lady Raven.
00:39:11Maybe she can...
00:39:12What?
00:39:13Beg me to spare the poor old man?
00:39:15Aldric, you've lost your mind.
00:39:17He's Valerius crazy.
00:39:19You're someone I bow to.
00:39:20And he dares point a weapon at you.
00:39:22Let me talk to you.
00:39:23Let me see who you're talking to.
00:39:26Who could possibly decide my fate?
00:39:28Give me the stone.
00:39:30Be my guest.
00:39:38Master Cymus sends his regards.
00:39:43Of course, Lord Cymus.
00:39:45It will never happen again.
00:39:46I swear it.
00:39:52I'm understanding, that's all.
00:39:54A simple misunderstanding between gentlemen.
00:39:58Put the crossbow down.
00:40:00Now!
00:40:04Lady Alara, please forgive this old fool.
00:40:08Your friends are safe.
00:40:09I give you my word.
00:40:12Thank you for coming.
00:40:13It's fine now.
00:40:15Let's go.
00:40:18Please, take your time.
00:40:20My deepest apologies to all of you.
00:40:27Who was that on the crystal?
00:40:30Master Cymus.
00:40:31Master Cymus.
00:40:32Master Cymus.
00:40:32Master Cymus?
00:40:33Which Master Cymus?
00:40:34Cymus Ravenweald.
00:40:35The former royal archmage.
00:40:37Practically the king's godfather before he retired.
00:40:39In this kingdom, no one refuses Silas Ravenweald.
00:40:44No one.
00:40:45That young man.
00:40:46He's not just some mage from an island.
00:40:50You should get closer to him.
00:40:52You should get closer to him.
00:40:53Much closer.
00:40:54Much closer.
00:40:54I'll keep that in mind.
00:40:55I'll see you.
00:41:00No one.
00:41:01Alara.
00:41:01You're incredible.
00:41:03Only you could have walked out of there.
00:41:05Hmm.
00:41:06She's an Aldwyn.
00:41:08In this town, who says no to that name?
00:41:11Tessa.
00:41:11Are you all right?
00:41:12That was terrifying.
00:41:14Thank you, Lady Alara. If you hadn't two grown men relying on a woman? Pathetic.
00:41:21That's enough. You know who the real coward is. Standing outside the whole time, weren't you? Didn't lift it a
00:41:27finger.
00:41:28Alara, it's late. Let me take you home. The streets aren't safe.
00:41:32No. I'm going home with Tessa Duncan and Aldref.
00:41:35I can't let you leave with commoners. What would your father say?
00:41:40You don't answer to my father.
00:41:43Let's go.
00:41:48Alara!
00:41:51Godfrey, don't contact me again.
00:41:56Aldric, you'll pay for this.
00:42:04Master, the plan failed.
00:42:07There's this Aldric. He appeared beside Alara. I couldn't get to her.
00:42:11You're useless.
00:42:13What do we do? This man, he seems to know things. What if he discovers?
00:42:18Don't worry.
00:42:22Our magic is invisible. No one in this town can see my magic and break it. The soul binding curse.
00:42:30Seven days. Then Duke Aldwyn dies. House Aldwyn will be ours. As for Alara. She made her choice. She dies
00:42:40too.
00:42:42Master, please. She's...
00:42:44Master, please. She's...
00:43:10She's...
00:43:14...
00:43:17I'm glad your back man.
00:43:27Let's go.
