00:00:01Get those banners hoisted! Straighten the garlands!
00:00:04Bring the wine to the guests, now!
00:00:09Today's a blessed day, the old gods are smiling on us!
00:00:20Whose wretched carriage is this?
00:00:22Have you any idea what day it is?
00:00:24You're blocking Lady Isabella's path on her wedding day!
00:00:28Bring me Alistair.
00:00:29You dare speak his name? You're not fit to breathe the same air!
00:00:34I am Morgana. I have come to collect what is mine.
00:00:43I'll fetch him right away!
00:00:49Sixty years. You've had my eyes. Now I want them back.
00:00:53A grand day. My daughter marries a prince.
00:00:57My lord! My lord!
00:01:00Control yourself.
00:01:02A woman at the gates. She says her name is Morgana. She demands to see you. Now.
00:01:12Morgana.
00:01:14Forgive me. I didn't know you were coming.
00:01:17House Alistram is yours. Show us mercy.
00:01:20My lord, you are a duke. You kneel to no one but the king.
00:01:24One more word, and I'll cut it out myself.
00:01:28My lady. Please.
00:01:48Mind the steps, my lady.
00:01:53Mind the steps, my lady.
00:01:54The sky turns.
00:02:04Sixty years ago.
00:02:06I broke myself into twelve embers.
00:02:11The throne was secured.
00:02:13It is time.
00:02:20To reclaim them all.
00:02:26I assumed we were hosting royalty.
00:02:29For my husband to grovel so.
00:02:32To greet you himself.
00:02:34I simply had to see who...
00:02:45Magana, was it?
00:02:47You are a guest in my halls.
00:02:49Drink.
00:02:54Your wine my lady.
00:02:57A blind witch.
00:02:59This will prove to you...
00:03:10But... I told them to boil it!
00:03:12Dorish vintage, pity it turned to vinegar, masked with heavy spice, poured from the rot at the bottom of your
00:03:22cellar.
00:03:23Is this how House Alistair hides its decay?
00:03:26How could she possibly smell that? She knows. How could she know?
00:03:30No, you insolent wretch! Keep your filthy mouth!
00:03:38By his wits alone did Lord Alistair survive.
00:03:42Isabella, your gown!
00:03:43A tragedy. His bloodline rots with me.
00:03:47How dare you! My husband may tolerate your delusions, but I will not!
00:03:52You just assaulted the future Crown Princess! By royal decree, you will kneel and you will bleed for it!
00:03:58She is a fool. You are worse.
00:04:02Even the gods of the underworld have yet to see me kneel.
00:04:07Why would you?
00:04:09We shall see.
00:04:12Gods, take her!
00:04:18And break her legs. Do it!
00:04:25Seize her! Now!
00:04:41Stop! Stop this at once! Fools!
00:04:50Morgana, they know nothing. They acted out of turn. Spare them. I beg of you.
00:04:57Alistair! Father!
00:04:59Both of you. You blind, arrogant fools. She chose restraint. Or you would already be ashes upon this floor.
00:05:07On your knees. Beg for your lives.
00:05:12I bow to no one. I am the future Crown Princess.
00:05:17I will wear the crown. I will rule this realm.
00:05:22I am a queen. She is just a-
00:05:29A pity.
00:05:32No crown rests on a dead woman.
00:05:37You will die before the wedding bells ring.
00:05:58You! Get out of my house!
00:06:01Silence your tongue!
00:06:03Morgana, please. How do we stop this?
00:06:06Call off the Royal Wedding.
00:06:09Break betrothal.
00:06:13Or...
00:06:13She dies.
00:06:23The Royal Esfork led by the Obsidian Guard.
00:06:26Commander Cedric himself.
00:06:28The Reaper of the Realm.
00:06:36The prophecy is written.
00:06:42And the King's Edict?
00:06:53Commander Cedric, you heard the prophecy.
00:06:56If Isabella rides to the palace today, it will be her funeral.
00:07:00The Crown commands this union, Lord Alistair.
00:07:04Commander Cedric, my escort is already at your gates.
00:07:07You dare defy the throne over cheap politrix?
00:07:11And break the royal contract?
00:07:14Unless...
00:07:16You doubt my ability to keep her breathing.
00:07:20No, Commander. Your blade is legendary.
00:07:23Your tactics flawless.
00:07:24The King trusts no other.
00:07:26She is safe with you.
00:07:29But...
00:07:29Morgana has seen it.
00:07:31She is our only hope.
00:07:33Alistair.
00:07:34The King's patience is not infinite.
00:07:37Do not humiliate us for a blind witch.
00:07:39The Crown's wrath will burn this castle to the ground.
00:07:42I will not let you ruin us.
00:07:45She is right, Father.
00:07:46I am perfectly safe with the Commander.
00:07:49Have the carriage ready.
00:07:51I will fetch my veil.
00:07:57Isabella!
00:07:59Let her go.
00:08:00The hour is set.
00:08:02My debt shall be claimed when the blood runs dry.
00:08:11Play the Prophet.
00:08:13Watch her cross those gates alive.
00:08:18I'll feel the blood.
00:08:22Bring the oracle a horse.
00:08:47I don't know.
00:09:11Take them to the Iron Court.
00:09:13I want a name.
00:09:14Yes, Commander!
00:09:22Thank the gods Cedric was here.
00:09:25We're safe.
00:09:26He earned his coin.
00:09:30You fight well, mortal.
00:09:33Pity it changes nothing.
00:09:35I do not guess.
00:09:38The grave is dug.
00:09:41The hour is here.
00:09:43Step forward, future Empress.
00:09:51Isabella, my love finally.
00:10:07I'm ready, Father.
00:10:09The crown is mine.
00:10:11Our legacy begins.
00:10:15My daughter.
00:10:16Our ultimate masterpiece.
00:10:20Lock it down.
00:10:22Double guards.
00:10:22Kill anything that moves.
00:10:24Nothing touched that carriage.
00:10:26Are we clear?
00:10:27Crystal clear, Captain.
00:10:28Consider it done.
00:10:29You're wasting men.
00:10:33The prophecy is spoken.
00:10:35The bride won't survive this journey.
00:10:37I am never wrong.
00:10:39Enlighten me then, Oracle.
00:10:41Give me a name.
00:10:42How exactly does she die?
00:10:44Give me real intel.
00:10:46Do that, I might believe you.
00:10:48Seeing the end requires a price.
00:10:50A transaction.
00:10:52I see the blood.
00:10:53The question is, can you afford it?
00:10:58There it is.
00:10:59The classic shakedown we always get here.
00:11:01Just a beggar.
00:11:02I could watch the Duke's daughter in her wedding dress.
00:11:05Perfectly protected by your elite guards.
00:11:08Ride straight to her execution.
00:11:10Let me ride with your convoy.
00:11:13Take me.
00:11:14I'll prove you wrong.
00:11:19I see the threads.
00:11:22Every drop of blood before it falls.
00:11:25The end is written.
00:11:27You're just walking the path blind.
00:11:29Cut the riddles.
00:11:31You're in my cell now.
00:11:34If you see everything, then what happens next?
00:11:39Does the blade slip?
00:11:40Does the steel bite?
00:11:42Or maybe I'm just sick of your games and slit your throat right now!
00:11:45Did you see that?!
00:11:50A seer is blind to her own end.
00:11:52That is the only law I obey.
00:11:56Then tell me how this ends.
00:11:59But you cannot kill me, Cedric.
00:12:03Let's put that to the test.
00:12:06Steel cannot touch me.
00:12:11By drawing it on me, you owe a deadly debt.
00:12:14Madness.
00:12:15I serve the crown.
00:12:17I don't fear witches.
00:12:20Still believe in hard facts, Commander?
00:12:24Commander!
00:12:25We have a situation.
00:12:27The prisoners from the ambush, sir.
00:12:29They took poison.
00:12:30Hidden in their teeth.
00:12:32They're all dead.
00:12:33Trails cold.
00:12:34Dead?!
00:12:35You let our only witnesses die in chains?!
00:12:37They were paid to die.
00:12:39They'd never talk.
00:12:40You want the true killer?
00:12:42Stop asking the living.
00:12:44They only lie.
00:12:45I'll make the dead speak.
00:12:58The prophecy.
00:13:00She knew.
00:13:01How?
00:13:02She was right there!
00:13:04The prophecy is fulfilled.
00:13:06Her blood is spilled.
00:13:08You killed my daughter!
00:13:10Your daughter's death was a tragedy.
00:13:12Eleanor, don't provoke her.
00:13:14Look at the carriage!
00:13:15The doors were sealed!
00:13:17Who else could bypass those locks?!
00:13:19Enough!
00:13:20Seal the gates!
00:13:21Nobody leaves this yort yard!
00:13:23You're all suspects.
00:13:24Take them to the iron court!
00:13:31We're alone.
00:13:32Just tell me the damn truth.
00:13:34How did you reach inside a moving, heavily-guarded carriage and take her head without a single sound?
00:13:41You mapped out her execution beforehand.
00:13:44Fine.
00:13:47Say you didn't swing the blade yourself.
00:13:50But you orchestrated this.
00:13:54If that comforts you, you may use it.
00:14:01You said you could make the dead speak.
00:14:03Name your price.
00:14:05There's always a price with you.
00:14:07Always.
00:14:08Name it.
00:14:09Whatever closes this investigation.
00:14:11I want your absolute obedience.
00:14:15When I speak, you do not question.
00:14:18When I point, you do not hesitate.
00:14:21My loyalty is to the crown.
00:14:23I don't give blind trust.
00:14:25I have the killer.
00:14:26If you put the murderer in front of me, then you have my trust.
00:14:32Don't make a vow you can't keep, Commander.
00:14:35You have my word.
00:14:36I won't break it.
00:14:41Take this.
00:14:43Sew her head back on.
00:14:45You want me to mutilate a royal corpse?
00:14:47Every second you wait, she fades.
00:14:53Her soul is bleeding out.
00:14:57It's done.
00:14:58What now?
00:15:00Open the doors.
00:15:02Bring them all.
00:15:04The grieving father.
00:15:06The weeping mother.
00:15:08Bring the prince who lost his bride.
00:15:10We are going to hold a court of our own.
00:15:19Isabella!
00:15:20My baby!
00:15:21Oh, God!
00:15:22Hold her back.
00:15:23Don't let her touch the body.
00:15:24Let me go!
00:15:25That's my daughter!
00:15:26Why is she here?
00:15:28Why is that blind woman in the judge's seat?
00:15:31Commander Ashworth, she killed her!
00:15:34She cursed my daughter and you let her sit there!
00:15:37His Royal Highness Prince Kale!
00:15:40Isabella!
00:15:41Isabella!
00:15:42Let me through!
00:15:43Isabella!
00:15:44Isabella!
00:15:44No!
00:15:44Look what they did to you, my beautiful girl!
00:15:48The audience is here.
00:15:50Let the performance end.
00:16:04You demanded proof, commander.
00:16:07You demanded proof, commander.
00:16:08Behold the truth.
00:16:10You wove the crimson soul thread yourself.
00:16:13The bond is forged.
00:16:16Ask her.
00:16:19Isabella Alistom.
00:16:21Is your killer here?
00:16:24Isabella Alistom.
00:16:25Oh, God.
00:16:32I can't do it.
00:16:35I can't do it.
00:16:36I can't do it.
00:16:39I can't do it.
00:16:41The end.
00:16:46I can't do it.
00:16:47Take away! She's bewitched!
00:16:55The crown is ours, father.
00:17:12Edmund Alliston.
00:17:18Now, confess.
00:17:24Edmund Alliston.
00:17:26Do you confess?
00:17:28I confess to nothing!
00:17:30You sick witch!
00:17:31You killed her!
00:17:33You puppeted her corpse to frame us!
00:17:36He took you in.
00:17:38You repay us with blood!
00:17:40This is madness!
00:17:42A father doesn't slaughter his own blood!
00:17:45Isabella was my pride!
00:17:48Why would I destroy my own future?
00:17:51See the truth!
00:17:52His own blood, that's true.
00:17:55But what if that girl was never your blood at all?
00:18:00Eleanor.
00:18:02Why did the Emperor betroth Isabella to Prince Kael?
00:18:05It was destiny!
00:18:07The Emperor declared it.
00:18:09They were born the exact same hour.
00:18:12Blessed by the gods.
00:18:15The Emperor.
00:18:17It's impossible!
00:18:18Edmund, tell me you didn't!
00:18:21I had to secure our bloodline.
00:18:28Give me the child I must see.
00:18:30Tell the truth!
00:18:31Is it a boy?
00:18:33A girl, my lady.
00:18:35A girl?
00:18:36No!
00:18:37You're lying!
00:18:38A daughter.
00:18:39Just as I said.
00:18:40Why me?
00:18:45The consort is waiting.
00:18:47If it's a boy...
00:18:48I'm ruined!
00:18:50Breathe, my lady.
00:18:51Panic is a luxury we can't afford.
00:18:53Duke Alistair has already arranged a solution.
00:18:55Bring the bundle inside.
00:18:57Now.
00:19:01Look closely.
00:19:03Pure Alistair blood.
00:19:05A flawless son.
00:19:06Yours, if you dare.
00:19:10A son!
00:19:11From now on you are mine.
00:19:14The true heir of this house.
00:19:17My son.
00:19:19My heir.
00:19:39You're telling this court I'm Duke Alistair's son?
00:19:43No.
00:19:44No.
00:19:45No, no.
00:19:46I am the Crown Prince!
00:19:51It can't be.
00:19:52How could my husband do such a thing?
00:19:55This is treason!
00:19:57What could he possibly want to risk all our lives?
00:20:00What did he want?
00:20:01Your son.
00:20:02Sitting on the throne.
00:20:04That's what he wanted.
00:20:08You need proof to make such claims.
00:20:10This dark sorcery proves absolutely nothing.
00:20:13Lord Alistair.
00:20:15If I had to guess.
00:20:16The moment the Emperor degreed Isabella's marriage.
00:20:19You realized if she entered the royal court the crown would eventually discover her secret.
00:20:23So you hired a pack of mercenaries to stage a bandit raid on the carriage.
00:20:27But Morgana's warning put my guard on alert.
00:20:29You feared with extra men your hired killers wouldn't be able to finish the job.
00:20:33So you killed your own daughter before she left.
00:20:35And as for your loyal servants, they break much faster than paid assassins.
00:20:39Commander!
00:20:40Commander Ashworth!
00:20:40Lord Alistair's personal guard.
00:20:42They've confessed to everything.
00:20:43The signed confessions.
00:20:45They admit the Duke ordered them to silence Isabella before she even left.
00:20:53My entire life of scheming.
00:20:57All crushed by fate's cruel hand.
00:21:01The eye you granted us gave House Alistair absolute power.
00:21:05Unmatched wealth.
00:21:07Unmatched glory.
00:21:09Unmatched glory.
00:21:09But the Emperor still stood above me.
00:21:11Until that day.
00:21:14When I saw.
00:21:16I saw.
00:21:22I saw the truth.
00:21:24If my son took the cradle, he'd rule the world.
00:21:29But the vision didn't end there.
00:21:32I saw the flaw that would kill us.
00:21:34The decree.
00:21:35The royal wedding.
00:21:37If Isabella entered that palace, he would see my daughter.
00:21:43He'd see the exact face of the young Empress.
00:21:47He's not blind.
00:21:49He'd know exactly what I did.
00:21:52I had no choice.
00:21:53You must see that.
00:21:55I had to cut the rot out.
00:21:57I had to protect my family.
00:22:00My son will be Emperor.
00:22:02I had to.
00:22:07Morgana, I confess it all.
00:22:09Punish me alone.
00:22:11I beg you, look at me.
00:22:12Remember my father's loyalty.
00:22:15Spare my wife.
00:22:17He's lying.
00:22:18We knew nothing.
00:22:19Please.
00:22:20I'm begging you.
00:22:21Take my life, but let them live.
00:22:24Granted.
00:22:25Thank you, Oracle.
00:22:28My life for theirs.
00:22:31Edmund!
00:22:32No!
00:22:33Edmund!
00:22:34No, Edmund!
00:22:37No, Edmund!
00:22:37Edmund!
00:22:38Please stay.
00:22:41Wake up, please.
00:22:43Don't leave me.
00:23:17I gave them my sight.
00:23:19To watch the dark.
00:23:21Instead, they watched the throne.
00:23:23Built a lie.
00:23:25Thought they could cheat fate.
00:23:27Thought they owned me.
00:23:29They own nothing.
00:23:31I'm taking it all back.
00:23:34With blood.
00:23:36Mortal hands cannot hold the weight of a god.
00:23:39It crushes them.
00:23:41The Alistair debt is settled.
00:23:44My sight is mine again.
00:23:47Now, we move to the next house.
00:23:51Stop!
00:23:52You can't just march in there.
00:23:53This is treason.
00:23:55I must alert the Emperor.
00:23:56No need to call the Emperor.
00:23:58He's already here.
00:24:05God.
00:24:06The Emperor.
00:24:11Your Majesty.
00:24:15By royal decree, Prince Kale and the Empress are hereby spankstripped of titles.
00:24:21They shall be cast into the black cells.
00:24:24It shall be done.
00:24:32Lady Morgana!
00:24:33Lady Morgana, it's you!
00:24:35Careful, sire!
00:24:37Morgana!
00:24:38Sire, wait!
00:24:39Lady Morgana!
00:24:41Oh, my Lady Morgana.
00:24:43Forgive me.
00:24:45It's my fault.
00:24:47I was blind to let them trouble you.
00:24:49I wish to name you High Protector.
00:24:52To guide the realm.
00:24:54Every mage alive will answer only to your command.
00:24:59My rule is simple.
00:25:01One shard for one question.
00:25:03You want a prophecy?
00:25:05Give me your family's ancient inheritance.
00:25:08The crown shard in exchange.
00:25:12Right.
00:25:13If you wish to reclaim the shard,
00:25:15I will gladly return it.
00:25:18After all, my family owes our throne to-
00:25:21Power is a debt.
00:25:22When I give and when I take,
00:25:24is my choice alone.
00:25:26Why the rush?
00:25:28Yes, you are completely right.
00:25:30Please, rest at Ashermyth Palace.
00:25:33Everything will grant her than-
00:25:35No, no!
00:25:36Higher than Imperial standards!
00:25:38No need.
00:25:39I am going to Ashwith Keep.
00:25:41Besides,
00:25:43my heart
00:25:45currently belongs to him.
00:25:53Yes, yes, of course.
00:25:55Take my royal carriage.
00:25:59Please, my lady.
00:26:00After you.
00:26:01Your Grace, that is the Sovereign's carriage.
00:26:04It breaks royal protocol.
00:26:05Shut your mouth!
00:26:07Lady Morgana is the law.
00:26:09Her word is absolute.
00:26:10There is no protocol in this world that outrants her.
00:26:13Isn't that right, my dear lady?
00:26:15Please.
00:26:17Mind the step, my lady.
00:26:19Careful now.
00:26:19Very careful.
00:26:21Commander Ashworth.
00:26:23Your Grace.
00:26:23If she suffers even a scratch,
00:26:25I swear to God,
00:26:26I will hang every last member of your retted house.
00:26:29Do I make myself clear?
00:26:31Crystal clear, Your Grace.
00:26:32My dear Lady Morgana.
00:26:34I have just remembered.
00:26:36Some urgent matters of state to attend to.
00:26:38I must take my leave.
00:26:44You serve Lady Morgana now.
00:26:46Farewell.
00:26:47Have a pleasant journey.
00:26:51Earlier you said that I had your heart.
00:26:54What the hell does that mean?
00:26:56Sixty years ago,
00:26:58my heart was carved from my chest.
00:27:01It is not with you.
00:27:04It is in your house.
00:27:07My house?
00:27:11This way, Lady Morgana.
00:27:13Thanks to your grace,
00:27:14sixty years ago,
00:27:15when you bestowed the Heartmen Shard upon us,
00:27:17the Ashworth name is now renowned for our healing arts.
00:27:20You see?
00:27:21These afflicted souls travel from the furthest corners of the kingdom,
00:27:24seeking our aid.
00:27:26So,
00:27:27the legendary Ashworth healing arts
00:27:30actually came from you.
00:27:33Tell me then,
00:27:34just how old are you exactly?
00:27:37Does it matter to you?
00:27:39Please, my lord!
00:27:40Save my mother!
00:27:41Wake up, Mama!
00:27:42Somebody help her!
00:27:43Have mercy!
00:27:44Please help my mother!
00:27:45I beg of you!
00:27:47This is all the coin I have.
00:27:49Please,
00:27:50show some mercy.
00:27:52A handful of dirty coppers?
00:27:54And you expect the Master's healing for that?
00:27:57Get out of here now!
00:27:59Stop wasting everyone's time.
00:28:00Selina!
00:28:03Cedric!
00:28:04You're finally home!
00:28:06When I gave your family the Shard,
00:28:08it was to heal the broken.
00:28:10To serve the realm,
00:28:12not to exploit the weak.
00:28:13You have broken the pact.
00:28:15Give the fragment back.
00:28:16Who do you think you are?
00:28:18How dare a commoner like you
00:28:20make demands in Ashwild Keep!
00:28:21Silence!
00:28:22Show her respect!
00:28:24This is Selina Frost.
00:28:27A ward taken in by my father.
00:28:30Selina.
00:28:31We heal the sick,
00:28:32regardless of coin!
00:28:34Have you forgotten?
00:28:35Go to the chapel!
00:28:36Pray!
00:28:37Beg her forgiveness!
00:28:38You heard him!
00:28:39To the chapel now!
00:28:42I beg your pardon, my lady.
00:28:44I had no idea she was extorting them.
00:28:48Rest assured,
00:28:49the Ashwoods honor your gift.
00:28:51We'd never turn away the poor.
00:28:53Most days,
00:28:54we treat all these commoners
00:28:55without asking for any money.
00:28:58I said return the Shard.
00:29:02Or do you mean to defy me?
00:29:04No, no!
00:29:05The relic is rightfully yours!
00:29:07I will return it to you immediately!
00:29:09It is just...
00:29:10The Hartman Shrad is kept safe
00:29:13by my eldest, Maren.
00:29:14She's been in seclusion
00:29:15at a distant abbey for years.
00:29:17Once she returns from her retreat,
00:29:18I will present it to you myself.
00:29:20Fine.
00:29:21I will wait.
00:29:27Every time I return,
00:29:29she still won't see me.
00:29:32Fifteen years.
00:29:33Fifteen years since I've laid eyes on her.
00:29:35Does she really despise me that much?
00:29:37Why do you think she treats you
00:29:39with such coldness?
00:29:42Because of what I did.
00:29:43She hates me.
00:29:45When I was a boy,
00:29:47I almost died.
00:29:49My sister came for me.
00:29:50And the iron drove through her right arm
00:29:52in my place.
00:29:53She was never the same again.
00:29:58She was a master healer.
00:30:00Those gifted hands.
00:30:02She could bring the dying back to life.
00:30:04But because of me,
00:30:05the scar on her arm never faded.
00:30:07And she was taken from me forever.
00:30:09She became a completely different person after that.
00:30:12The Hartman Shard was hers by birthright.
00:30:15With its power,
00:30:16she became the greatest healer in the kingdom.
00:30:18And then they sent her far away,
00:30:20to a quiet abbey
00:30:21where she could practice in peace.
00:30:23But I know the truth.
00:30:26That day...
00:30:27became a thorn in her heart.
00:30:29One that will never be pulled out.
00:30:31Every time she looks at me,
00:30:32she remembers what saving me cost her.
00:30:35Everything is bound by consequence, Commander.
00:30:37You see only the branches above the soil,
00:30:40but you are blind to the roots below.
00:30:43What is that supposed to mean?
00:30:44You will know soon enough.
00:30:50My knees are hurting.
00:30:52I'll fetch the salve.
00:30:55Cedric just got back,
00:30:56and he's already screaming at me because of her!
00:30:59She's an honored guest.
00:31:01Even Lord Ashworth had to apologize to her.
00:31:03Master Cedric serves her.
00:31:05People are whispering.
00:31:07She might be his future bride.
00:31:09His future bride?
00:31:11Look at her.
00:31:12She's a freak.
00:31:13With that filthy black rags.
00:31:15She doesn't deserve Cedric.
00:31:21Crone.
00:31:22What is that?
00:31:24Honey cakes.
00:31:25Master Cedric's favorite.
00:31:27And imperial spiced wine for Lady Morgana.
00:31:31Halt!
00:31:33Imperial spiced wine?
00:31:35A gift from the Emperor himself.
00:31:37It's worth a fortune.
00:31:38You really know how to grovel.
00:31:41Give it here.
00:31:44Healers always keep the best poisons.
00:31:47This widow's kiss is lethal.
00:31:50No taste, no cure.
00:31:53Drink up, Morgana.
00:31:55Go, take it to her.
00:31:57I cannot, my lady.
00:31:59She is Master Cedric's guest.
00:32:03Know your place.
00:32:05Without Ashfield Charity,
00:32:07a useless old crone would be rotting in the gutter.
00:32:11Pathetic.
00:32:16I am disciplining a servant.
00:32:18Since when does a blind freak interfere with Ashfield affairs?
00:32:22If your tongue serves only to offend,
00:32:25then you should not speak at all.
00:32:30Morgana.
00:32:31You little piece of-
00:32:33My lady, what is it?
00:32:35My lady, what's wrong?
00:32:36Please, say something!
00:32:37What's doing this?
00:32:38Guards, help us!
00:32:40Get Lord Aldrich!
00:32:41She's choking!
00:32:41She can't breathe!
00:32:43Lord Aldrich!
00:32:44Please, hurry!
00:32:45I'm right here.
00:32:46Just breathe.
00:32:47She suddenly lost her voice.
00:32:50Selene is just a foolish girl.
00:32:51She didn't mean to offend you.
00:32:53I will make her apologize to you at once.
00:32:55What are you waiting for?
00:32:56Apologize!
00:32:57Now!
00:32:58Are you deaf?
00:32:59Do you want to be mute forever?
00:33:05My lady.
00:33:07I don't want your apology.
00:33:09Kneel to the one you truly wronged.
00:33:13Please, no!
00:33:13I'm nobody!
00:33:14A lady cannot kneel to me!
00:33:16I'm just a servant!
00:33:18Silence!
00:33:19Just be grateful!
00:33:19Every brick in this house rests on the Hartmann Shard.
00:33:24She built our legacy.
00:33:26Oracle, I beg you.
00:33:28She's terrified.
00:33:30Let it be enough.
00:33:32Please, have mercy.
00:33:39Your mercy is boundless, my lady.
00:33:42I will discipline the girl at once.
00:33:45Come, my lady.
00:33:46Let us go.
00:33:50Are you hurt?
00:33:52I am fine, my lord.
00:33:55You've grown so thin.
00:33:57The northern winds have been cruel to you.
00:33:59You must stay longer this time.
00:34:01Your name day is soon.
00:34:03I knitted you a pair of thick winter gloves.
00:34:06Let me fetch them for you.
00:34:08Wait right here for me.
00:34:11That old woman.
00:34:12Her devotion to you is genuine.
00:34:15It is.
00:34:16She has been here since I was a boy.
00:34:19Always kind to me.
00:34:20When I was injured as a boy,
00:34:22she sneaked me pouches.
00:34:24And every year on my name day,
00:34:26when my own sister was lost to me,
00:34:28she brought me warm broth and fresh bread.
00:34:31With her, I almost remember what having a sister felt like.
00:34:35If that is true, you should show her more grace while you can.
00:34:39I have seen the shadow on her.
00:34:41She has but a few days left.
00:34:44Do not wait until tomorrow
00:34:46to realize what you have lost.
00:34:52Listen to me, child.
00:34:54Never cross paths with Morgana again.
00:34:56She thinks she owns us.
00:34:58Patience, my sweet girl.
00:35:00I'm securing your future.
00:35:02Play the game.
00:35:04Let her think she's win.
00:35:06Soon, everything will be yours.
00:35:09Lady Morgana,
00:35:10Lady Ashfield has sent me
00:35:12to return the Hartman Shard to its rightful owner.
00:35:15We have heard,
00:35:16when you take back what is yours,
00:35:19you offer a reading in return.
00:35:22Lady Ashworth has written her question
00:35:23right here on this parchment.
00:35:26Take it, Cedric.
00:35:32I will not answer this question,
00:35:34because the Hartman Shard is a fake.
00:35:38What?
00:35:40A fake!
00:35:41Someone must have switched it when she wasn't looking.
00:35:44I'll get to the bottom of this, tonight.
00:35:46Don't.
00:35:48What is mine,
00:35:50will always return to my hands.
00:35:53Lady Morgana!
00:35:54Commander Ashford!
00:35:57The Emperor begs your aid.
00:36:00The Empress Door Wager is dying.
00:36:02The Royal Physicians can do nothing for her.
00:36:04His Majesty demands you come at once.
00:36:06Please, my lady, you are her only hope.
00:36:12Lead the way.
00:36:14Useless fools!
00:36:16What good are you if she dies?
00:36:18Your Majesty,
00:36:20Lady Morgana has arrived.
00:36:25Morgana, thank the gods you have come.
00:36:27Please, you must help her.
00:36:29Mother is...
00:36:29Her flame has burned out.
00:36:31Her time is over.
00:36:33Prepare the crypt.
00:36:35Lies! That is a lie!
00:36:36Your Majesty.
00:36:40I can save the Empress.
00:36:44Morgana,
00:36:44if you can't save her,
00:36:46stop making pathetic excuses.
00:36:48I say,
00:36:50you have no real power.
00:36:52You're nothing but a fraudulent witch.
00:36:54Selina!
00:36:55This is a royal chamber,
00:36:56not your playground!
00:36:57Your Grace.
00:36:58I can heal her.
00:36:59On my life.
00:37:00Selina Frost.
00:37:02You should know.
00:37:03Cedric knows it well.
00:37:05My prophecies are never wrong.
00:37:07Care to make a wager, then?
00:37:09On what?
00:37:10If I win,
00:37:11I want the Emperor to decree my marriage to Cedric.
00:37:14And I want your head severed from your neck.
00:37:18Your Grace.
00:37:19Madness!
00:37:20This is absolute madness!
00:37:22Gods!
00:37:22Drag this mad woman away!
00:37:24I accept.
00:37:30Very well.
00:37:32Give it a try.
00:37:33If you truly cure my mother,
00:37:36I will grant your every wish.
00:37:45So you stole the Hartman Schnaz.
00:37:47Cedric.
00:37:48I'll be a master healer.
00:37:50Just like your sister.
00:37:52Then you'll finally see
00:37:54I'm the only one for you.
00:37:57Forcing fate
00:37:58only brings ruin.
00:38:00If you insist on this path,
00:38:02you alone will choke on the ashes.
00:38:06Save your cheap parlor tricks.
00:38:08Healing the sick is God's work.
00:38:10There's no price for that.
00:38:12By the old blood,
00:38:14I command the vessel.
00:38:16Take the living spark.
00:38:18Feed the dying flame.
00:38:22Awaken.
00:38:27Wake up!
00:38:31Wake!
00:38:31Wake!
00:38:42What's happening?
00:38:44It burns!
00:38:45It burns!
00:38:46It burns!
00:38:47It burns!
00:38:48Oh God!
00:38:53Water!
00:38:54Please!
00:39:00Mother!
00:39:02Mother!
00:39:02Wake up!
00:39:06My face!
00:39:08No!
00:39:09How did this happen?
00:39:13You stole my magic.
00:39:15But you never asked,
00:39:16when the spell steals a living spark,
00:39:19whose spark does it take?
00:39:23Move along.
00:39:25Get out.
00:39:26Move!
00:39:26Before I drag you out!
00:39:29Know who stands before you.
00:39:31My lord,
00:39:32I did not know.
00:39:33Marin.
00:39:34My lord, you're mistaken.
00:39:36She's not Marin.
00:39:38She's just an old crone.
00:39:39Nothing more.
00:39:40My lord!
00:39:41Get out.
00:39:42Yes, my lord!
00:39:49I'm nobody.
00:39:50Just an old crone.
00:39:52Nobody of importance.
00:39:54Just a servant.
00:39:55This is the inner sanctum.
00:39:57Only the bloodline.
00:39:58Only the heartman's shard bearer can come here.
00:40:02Let me see you.
00:40:12That scar.
00:40:15Where did this scar come from?
00:40:17Only Marin bore this mark.
00:40:21Marin?
00:40:24Why didn't you tell me?
00:40:29Whose life did you think you were spending?
00:40:32The Ashworth Empire isn't built on medicine.
00:40:34It's built on a parasite.
00:40:37It trades your years for theirs.
00:40:39A simple fever costs you a month.
00:40:43A fatal wound
00:40:45strips the youth right off your bones.
00:40:49Sick Empress was already dead.
00:40:51Her time was up.
00:40:52Give her every hour you have left.
00:40:55It won't buy her a single day.
00:40:58Then what about Marin?
00:40:59Explain Marin!
00:41:01She bore the shard for 30 years.
00:41:03Pulled thousands from the grave.
00:41:05Then she should be dust!
00:41:07She should be a rotting corpse!
00:41:09Why is she flawless?
00:41:11Why not her?
00:41:12Look at me!
00:41:13It took everything!
00:41:15My skin!
00:41:17My life!
00:41:18Why just me?
00:41:19You said she was perfect.
00:41:22Cedric, you believe she hid from you for 10 years.
00:41:26It never crossed your mind that the woman she became
00:41:29was standing right in front of you.
00:41:32And you looked right through her.
00:41:35Stop.
00:41:36What does that mean?
00:41:37You're a commander.
00:41:39Open your eyes.
00:41:41Every year on your birthday,
00:41:42that old servant,
00:41:44the only one who still cooks for you.
00:41:46Who is she, Cedric?
00:41:51Lord Cedric, wait!
00:41:52You can't go in!
00:41:53My lord! She said no visitors!
00:41:55My lord!
00:42:02Maren.
00:42:04Gods.
00:42:05It's really you.
00:42:09Why?
00:42:10All these years, why didn't you tell me?
00:42:13Every time I used the shard,
00:42:16it stole a year of my life.
00:42:18Burned away.
00:42:19Then one morning,
00:42:20I looked in the glass.
00:42:22White hair.
00:42:23Hands shaking like a crone.
00:42:26Maren!
00:42:26Let me in!
00:42:27My lord, no!
00:42:28Get off!
00:42:29I want my sister!
00:42:31Let me go!
00:42:33Maren!
00:42:34I couldn't let you see a monster.
00:42:37No.
00:42:38Stop it.
00:42:39Don't ever say that.
00:42:41Look at me.
00:42:41You are Maren.
00:42:43The bravest person I know.
00:42:45But I abandoned you.
00:42:47You gave me your entire life,
00:42:49and I was blind.
00:42:51I didn't see my own sister.
00:42:53I'm sorry.
00:42:54Oh, my brave little brother.
00:42:56It's alright now.
00:43:06Cedric.
00:43:06Tomorrow is your name day.
00:43:08I haven't made your broth yet.
00:43:10Maren, please.
00:43:12Just rest.
00:43:13You made it for me every year.
00:43:15My whole life.
00:43:17Tomorrow,
00:43:17I'll make it for you.
00:43:24This is my fault.
00:43:25I looked right at her and saw nothing.
00:43:28She hid her hands,
00:43:29traded her life away,
00:43:30and I just stood there.
00:43:31He used the Heartmen Shard
00:43:33to drain her year by year
00:43:35while I watched
00:43:35and called it nothing.
00:43:36She made a choice.
00:43:38The Shard needed a vessel.
00:43:40She offered herself.
00:43:42She healed them.
00:43:43She gave them time.
00:43:45She gave you time.
00:43:47That was all she ever wanted.
00:43:49I looked right past her for years.
00:43:53For stripping away every excuse I had.
00:43:56I have her back.
00:43:57Whatever it cost you,
00:43:58I swear on my blade I will repay that debt.
00:44:01She hasn't eaten in days.
00:44:02I made this for her.
00:44:04I don't know if she'll want it,
00:44:04but I need to give her something.
00:44:06I'm gonna take it to her now.
00:44:07Wait.
00:44:09Something wrong?
00:44:12It's nothing.
00:44:13Go to her.
00:44:14I won't be long.
00:44:25Maren!
00:44:26Maren, wake up!
00:44:27No!
00:44:28No, no, please!
00:44:29Maren!
00:44:31The scale always balances.
00:44:36Get away from me!
00:44:38Don't touch me!
00:44:40I want my sister!
00:44:42Get away!
00:44:44Where is she?
00:44:49I want my sister!
00:44:52Cedric.
00:44:54I'm here.
00:44:55Look at me.
00:44:56Don't touch me!
00:44:58You old witch!
00:45:02She's dead, isn't she?
00:45:04She left me.
00:45:05Everyone always leaves!
00:45:08But I'm staying.
00:45:10To a legion.
00:45:12I'm not going anywhere.
00:45:15I'm here.
00:45:16Right here.
00:45:18I've got you.
00:45:23Lord Ashworth, she saved my family.
00:45:26She saved so many.
00:45:28We had to come.
00:45:30Everyone knew how much she meant to you, my lord.
00:45:32Her loss leaves a wound in all of us.
00:45:35She gave everything.
00:45:37Healed strangers.
00:45:39Never once asked for anything in return.
00:45:41Even when it broke her.
00:45:44Even when it cost her.
00:45:46Her life.
00:45:48I watched her disappear.
00:45:51Day by day.
00:45:52If the gods would take me instead.
00:45:54I'd go willingly.
00:45:56And yet you stood there.
00:45:58Every scar on her body.
00:46:00Every year taken from her.
00:46:03His hands did that.
00:46:04All of it.
00:46:06Every shriveled vein on Maren's hands.
00:46:09Every year carved from her face.
00:46:11He arranged all of it.
00:46:14Her life meant nothing to him.
00:46:15He only cared about the gold.
00:46:18The price her dying breath could buy.
00:46:20Oracle, please.
00:46:22Everyone here knows the Ashworth name.
00:46:25We heal the sick.
00:46:26We never ask for coin.
00:46:28We serve the people.
00:46:29You cannot just walk in here and spread lies about my family.
00:46:35If you took no coin, then tell me what you've been hiding in the dark.
00:46:40Every transaction.
00:46:41Every name.
00:46:43Every debt you buried.
00:46:50All of it.
00:46:50To the rest.
00:46:59These are property deeds.
00:47:01Hundreds of them.
00:47:02The Ashhouse fled the Highlords dry.
00:47:04In secret.
00:47:04They traded healing for mansions.
00:47:07For land.
00:47:08We thought you were a saint, Aldric.
00:47:10You're nothing but a leech, a parasite.
00:47:13You stole my sister's life.
00:47:15You drained Marin dry to build your filthy empire and left her to rot in the dirt.
00:47:20She gave everything and you ground her bones into your crown.
00:47:25That is not the whole of his sin.
00:47:27When Marin's face withered from what he forced on her, he turned away from her.
00:47:32He took a lover in secret.
00:47:34A secret mistress.
00:47:36A hidden life.
00:47:38There is no one! You are lying!
00:47:41The child you had with her has been living under this very roof.
00:47:44You call her your ward.
00:47:46You let her do as she pleases.
00:47:48Do you deny that Selene is your blood?
00:47:52You gave Selene full run of this house.
00:47:55Is she your bastard?
00:47:57Is that why you let her destroy my sister?
00:48:00Oracle, I have always bowed to your vision.
00:48:04You cannot lay this at my feet.
00:48:07I am innocent if there was money missing from the patients.
00:48:10Marin did it herself.
00:48:12Plain greed!
00:48:14She used the sick to line her own pockets!
00:48:23Look out! Get back!
00:48:26That's gold.
00:48:28He hid it in the tablet.
00:48:32The heavens don't care for your lies.
00:48:35But I do.
00:48:36You built a dynasty on stolen breath.
00:48:39You are no heir to what I left here.
00:48:42You are a parasite.
00:48:46My sister is dead.
00:48:48She died a ruined servant under your roof.
00:48:52And you dare stand over her coffin and call her a thief!
00:48:56I will cut you apart right here.
00:48:58Cedric, be reasonable.
00:48:59Look at what she had become.
00:49:01Who could look at that face and not be sickened?
00:49:04You are no blood of mine.
00:49:06You are nothing to me.
00:49:08You are nothing to me.
00:49:08Is this my fault?
00:49:09I would have taken the burden on myself.
00:49:11I swear it.
00:49:12But the healer's grace, it binds only to the women.
00:49:15It rejected me.
00:49:16It was never my choice.
00:49:18We kept her fed.
00:49:19Kept a roof over her head.
00:49:21She owed this family her service.
00:49:22It was her duty to plead for us.
00:49:25A lie.
00:49:27I forged the healer's grace.
00:49:29I wrote its laws.
00:49:30It does not choose by blood or gender.
00:49:33It chooses by the will to sacrifice.
00:49:35It rejected you because it looked inside your chest
00:49:38and found nothing at all.
00:49:40You let a child wither in your place and called it fate.
00:49:44You said you wished to carry the burden.
00:49:47You wanted the Ember's power for yourself.
00:49:50You wanted it all.
00:49:53Very well.
00:49:57Let us see how much of it you can bear.
00:50:05Very well.
00:50:31No!
00:50:32Get off me!
00:50:33I am the lord of this!
00:50:37No!
00:50:39No!
00:50:40No!
00:50:51Every year he stole from Maren.
00:50:54They just ripped it back.
00:51:15Maren!
00:51:15Can you hear me?
00:51:16Look at me!
00:51:19You...
00:51:20You...
00:51:21You came back.
00:51:27Remember your oath.
00:51:42The Hartman Shard.
00:51:44It's time it returned to you.
00:51:46You took another piece of your power straight into yourself.
00:51:49Will you absorb this one too?
00:51:54Yes!
00:52:22Please help us, help us.
00:52:25Have mercy!
00:52:55The land is healed.
00:52:56The debt is paid.
00:52:57She will never serve in the dark again.
00:52:59She lives.
00:53:00The transaction is complete.
00:53:06Oracle, you didn't owe us this.
00:53:09I will carry this mercy until my last breath.
00:53:17You gave my sister back her life.
00:53:19My life is no longer my own.
00:53:22It belongs to you.
00:53:23Every breath I draw belongs to your cause.
00:53:26I am your shield.
00:53:27Your blade.
00:53:28Point me at your enemies.
00:53:30Wherever you walk, I walk with you.
00:53:33Until my blood runs cold.
00:53:38Talk to me.
00:53:40Did the exorcism drain you?
00:53:42Are you hurt?
00:53:43I am not hurt.
00:53:45When I pulled the Hartman Shard from your sister, I absorbed 30 years of her memories.
00:53:49Every single day she spent trapped in that house.
00:53:53There's an echo now.
00:53:54A pressure in my chest.
00:53:56You have a rule.
00:53:57You reclaim a piece of your power.
00:53:59You owe the bloodline one truth.
00:54:01One ember.
00:54:02One question.
00:54:04Maren gave her whole youth to keep me alive.
00:54:07She never got to ask her question.
00:54:10Maren.
00:54:11So I'll ask it for her.
00:54:13Look into your prophecy, Morgana.
00:54:15Did my sister's sacrifice mean anything?
00:54:17Tell me.
00:54:20Your sister asked what waits for you in the north.
00:54:22I didn't lie to her.
00:54:24So I'll tell you exactly what I saw.
00:54:26There is a line drawn across your fate.
00:54:28A terminal point.
00:54:30If you follow me to Ironwall.
00:54:33If you walk into Ravencrest at my side.
00:54:35You will stand before someone and bleed until there is nothing left.
00:54:39And you will die.
00:54:40That is the end of it.
00:54:42In front of who?
00:54:43Who do I bleed for?
00:54:45Me.
00:54:47Knowing this.
00:54:49Knowing that every step north is a step towards your own grave.
00:54:53And you still want to come with me.
00:54:55Forget it.
00:54:56It doesn't matter.
00:55:00You are ordered to stay behind.
00:55:02I walk into Ironwall alone.
00:55:04I don't need a shield.
00:55:06I swore an oath to you.
00:55:08I stand between you and whatever comes.
00:55:11I'm going.
00:55:17I told you how this ends.
00:55:19Are you not afraid?
00:55:22I lead the Obsidian Guard.
00:55:24I have walked into the dark more times than I can count.
00:55:28Every time they said I wouldn't walk out.
00:55:32Every time they said the odds were broken.
00:55:34And I am still standing here.
00:55:37Let them come.
00:55:37I will survive it.
00:55:39And I will walk you out of Ironwall myself.
00:55:44You must think I'm completely useless with a blade.
00:55:47I've been sickly since childhood.
00:55:49My sister-in-law handles the killing.
00:55:51She lets me read instead.
00:55:53I apologize for the gate.
00:55:54It's just...
00:55:55Lately.
00:55:56The moment the sun sets, the dead walk.
00:55:58Vesta fears the undead soldiers breaching the walls.
00:56:02Slaughtering our people.
00:56:03Please forgive the locked gates, my lady.
00:56:05These undead outside your walls.
00:56:07What is their origin?
00:56:08We don't know.
00:56:09Not since my grandfather fell.
00:56:11They don't discern friend from foe.
00:56:13They just butcher.
00:56:14For six months we've been trapped here.
00:56:16Powerless.
00:56:17Thorn was injured?
00:56:19Yes.
00:56:20Ambushed by the dead weeks ago.
00:56:22He hasn't woken since.
00:56:25Take me to him.
00:56:27Of course.
00:56:28Finn!
00:56:35You dare test me, boy?
00:56:37Who authorized you to breach the protocol?
00:56:40Who gave you leave to welcome stray vagras into my fortress?
00:56:44Do Frost Stokes' laws mean nothing to you?
00:56:46Vesper, wait.
00:56:48This is Lady Morgana.
00:56:49Grandfather foresaw this.
00:56:50He said a woman named Morgana would come for the Shard.
00:56:53We must show her absolute respect.
00:56:56The Patriarch is dying.
00:56:57He needs silence, not scavengers chasing fairy tales.
00:57:00Commander Vesper.
00:57:02Even the Emperor bows to Lady Morgana.
00:57:05I suggest you mind your tone.
00:57:07Before I cut out your tongue.
00:57:10Damn your southern king!
00:57:11Here, we follow North laws.
00:57:14Your laws.
00:57:15Tell me.
00:57:17What does the North demand?
00:57:19You want to see him?
00:57:21Bleed for it.
00:57:23Best me in combat.
00:57:24Win, and you get your audience.
00:57:26And your precious shard.
00:57:28Lose, and you crawl back south.
00:57:31Frostbite does not serve the weak.
00:57:33I'll gladly test your iron, Commander.
00:57:36Good!
00:57:36A real man!
00:57:38Bring me my steel!
00:57:49Hold the gate!
00:57:51I am Cedric Ashworth, Commander of the Obsidian Guards.
00:57:54Hold the gates!
00:57:55Gods!
00:57:55They're here!
00:57:56Fall back!
00:57:57Bar the gates!
00:58:12Ring of steel!
00:58:13Protect Morgana!
00:58:22Ash to ash.
00:58:24Darkness breaks.
00:58:26Done.
00:58:45This malice.
00:58:47I know it.
00:58:48She broke them!
00:58:49Who goes there?
00:58:51Morgana.
00:58:52Lady Morgana!
00:58:55Forgive me.
00:58:56Forgive me.
00:58:56My grandfather speaks of you often.
00:58:59And you are?
00:59:00Finn Ravenkest, my lady.
00:59:02Grandson to Patriarch Thorn.
00:59:04Morgana.
00:59:06Smile for me.
00:59:07You look best when you smile.
00:59:09Foolish.
00:59:11Please.
00:59:19Morgana.
00:59:20My sister-in-law is a monster on the battlefield.
00:59:23She holds the true bloodline.
00:59:25No one beats her.
00:59:26Is this it then?
00:59:28The day you foreseen I would die?
00:59:50He's hurt!
00:59:51He will not die.
00:59:56Playing with time!
01:00:14Well fought.
01:00:15Your form is decent.
01:00:17But you fight like you fear death.
01:00:20Always leaving room to retreat.
01:00:22Remember.
01:00:23A real enemy won't give you quarter.
01:00:26The only way to outlive them
01:00:28is to care less about dying.
01:00:30Mother!
01:00:31Mother!
01:00:35There's my little bird.
01:00:37You promised me.
01:00:39We'd practice archery today.
01:00:41I know.
01:00:42Go grab your bow.
01:00:43I'm coming.
01:00:44Okay.
01:00:47When you have something you can't leave behind,
01:00:50then teach me to fight.
01:00:53Tomorrow I will grant you an audience with a Patriarch.
01:00:58You see?
01:00:59I am still breathing.
01:01:00If you had truly defied my vision.
01:01:04Now that would be interesting.
01:01:09Two years ago at the Bloodwater siege,
01:01:12Vesta's husband begged the Emperor for reinforcements.
01:01:16But the royal court was busy preparing the Emperor's Jubilee.
01:01:19The army never marched.
01:01:20Her husband died in the mud.
01:01:21Left her and the child alone.
01:01:24Vesta has every reason to hate the crown.
01:01:27She struck a deal with the enemy.
01:01:30You are wrong.
01:01:33You said we were seeing the Patriarch.
01:01:34Why bring us to a crypt?
01:01:35Whatever you see in there, hold your nerve.
01:01:39My grandfather rests inside.
01:01:41Please, this way.
01:01:58What?
01:02:02My lady, the North is freezing.
01:02:04I brought you these heavy furs.
01:02:06Your concern is noted, boy.
01:02:08But she has no need for such common scraps.
01:02:11These are royal pelts from-
01:02:17Gods.
01:02:18What in the world is this?
01:02:20It's so soft.
01:02:22It doesn't even feel like wool.
01:02:23It feels like water.
01:02:24Winter.
01:02:25These deep red shapes here.
01:02:27What kind of flower is this?
01:02:29A rose.
01:02:30The sovereign of flowers.
01:02:32A rose.
01:02:34It's beautiful.
01:02:35I can't even imagine it.
01:02:36So this is what the South grows.
01:02:39Here in Frostspike, the winter never ends.
01:02:42The ground is iron.
01:02:43Nothing this fragile could ever survive the frost.
01:02:47If it pleases you, boy, help us reclaim the shard from your king.
01:02:51And this mantle is yours to keep.
01:02:54Truly?
01:02:55You swear on your honor?
01:02:57On my blood.
01:03:00Done.
01:03:00I'll get ready.
01:03:05You barter with the boy because you are certain that Vesta will not surrender the shard.
01:03:14Is this?
01:03:16It is Thorn.
01:03:17Yes.
01:03:18Since the ambush six months ago, this crust began to form.
01:03:22It started around his wounds.
01:03:24Then it spread.
01:03:26Swallowing him whole.
01:03:27How many healers have you called?
01:03:29All of them.
01:03:30None could break it.
01:03:48This isn't a sickness, is it?
01:03:49It is his own madness.
01:03:51His madness?
01:03:52Thorn's natural life ended in the snow six months ago.
01:04:00But his fury anchored him here.
01:04:03He refuses to pass on.
01:04:05And the shard buried within him gave his wrath a physical form, spawning the dead that batter your gates.
01:04:13While this stone shell devours his remaining soul.
01:04:17The undead?
01:04:19The undead?
01:04:20They came from my grandfather's own mind?
01:04:23What kind of nightmare could be powerful enough to breed an entire army of corpses?
01:04:33What is happening?
01:04:38The dead are marching in daylight.
01:04:42I'll hold the line!
01:04:43Gather the men!
01:04:45My lady, I'm begging you!
01:04:47Save Frostbike!
01:04:48Take the shard back!
01:04:49It's right there in his chest!
01:04:51Please, just take it!
01:04:52I beg you!
01:04:55Yes.
01:04:56But the shard must be freely given.
01:04:59Even I cannot carve it out by force.
01:05:01I will pull Thorn back from the dark.
01:05:04Do not let them interrupt me.
01:05:06This pennant will hold the dead.
01:05:08Plant it beyond the gates.
01:05:09It will buy me time.
01:05:12If the ward fails, if the dead breach the line, or if you are overrun, do not die for me.
01:05:20Leave.
01:05:20My orders stand.
01:05:23You are my charge.
01:05:25I do not break the line.
01:05:41I remember a boy.
01:05:44One who chased my shadow, always begging for stories.
01:05:48Now, reduced to stone.
01:05:55Veil lift.
01:05:57Flesh bind.
01:05:59Awaken.
01:06:02Thorn.
01:06:05Ashworth!
01:06:06Her magic broke!
01:06:07She's bleeding!
01:06:19Shit!
01:06:22Flesh.
01:06:25Shit!
01:06:26Flesh.
01:06:28Flesh.
01:06:29Flesh.
01:06:30Flesh.
01:06:32Flesh.
01:06:33Finn, what are you doing?
01:06:34I'm done pretending, Commander.
01:06:37Did you honestly think Vesper was the one who crippled my grandfather?
01:06:40It was me, who left the gate wide open.
01:06:43So, you're the rat.
01:06:45They butchered your parents.
01:06:47Slaughtered your own brothers.
01:06:48They bled Frostbear dry.
01:06:50And you sold us out to the monsters?
01:06:52Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
01:06:54Sold us out?
01:06:55Monsters?
01:06:56Better than being the crown's lap dog.
01:06:58Why should we bleed for them?
01:06:59Our ancestors all followed Morgana.
01:07:02We were equals once.
01:07:03But because they got different shards, some get to rule the capital.
01:07:06Some get the gold.
01:07:07And what did the rain creeps get?
01:07:08Three generations rotting in this frozen wasteland.
01:07:10Bleeding out in the ice.
01:07:13Just another name on a tombstone.
01:07:15Waiting to be wiped out.
01:07:17I won't let it end like this.
01:07:19I'm going to tear Frostfire down.
01:07:22Break the chains they put on us.
01:07:25I saw Morgana use this.
01:07:27It commands the dead.
01:07:30I hold the power now.
01:07:37Isn't that right?
01:07:40No!
01:08:08Yes.
01:08:10I remember the vow.
01:08:13I gave you my word.
01:08:15To hold this fortress.
01:08:17To bleed for the innocent.
01:08:21But the dead are here.
01:08:23The wolves are at the gates.
01:08:26I...
01:08:27I dare not leave.
01:08:29Enough, Thorn.
01:08:30You have bled enough.
01:08:33Your bloodline.
01:08:36Your men.
01:08:52You're not quite a lie.
01:08:54There's two big monsters.
01:08:54I'm not quite serious.
01:08:55You're not white, you're pretty.
01:08:55You're the only one guy.
01:08:55It's broken.
01:08:57You're dead.
01:09:01You're telling me, you're not white.
01:09:01It's broken.
01:09:04It's broken, huh?
01:09:08You're not white.
01:09:09You're not white.
01:09:10You're not white.
01:09:10You're not white.

01:12:25The witch.
01:12:38So, this is the death you saw from me.
01:12:42You are never wrong.
01:12:46Morgana, it seems I won't be here to help you take back what is yours.
01:13:08Morgana.
01:13:10I make no grand claims, but I swear I will help you take it all back.
01:13:33Monster.
01:13:34Monster, you godless monster!
01:13:37Monster.
01:13:39Monster.
01:13:51This world is sick.
01:13:58Finn.
01:13:59Why would you do this?
01:14:02My brother.
01:14:03He died because the crown.
01:14:06Because the crown never sent reinforcements.
01:14:10He bled out in the snow.
01:14:12And ever since then, I haven't seen you smile.
01:14:16Not truly.
01:14:18I was so close.
01:14:21Just a little more.
01:14:23And I could have taken you.
01:14:25Away from this prison.
01:14:29You foolish boy.
01:14:32Frostfire is now prison.
01:14:34Look at the people behind these walls.
01:14:36The thousands we pulled from the slaughter.
01:14:39The soldiers I trained with my own hands.
01:14:41Every block of black stone.
01:14:43Every frozen inch of the north.
01:14:45Holds my blood.
01:14:47Nothing has ever trapped me.
01:14:49This is the line I chose to hold.
01:14:52Frostfire is my home, Finn.
01:14:54And I will defend it.
01:14:56Until I break.
01:15:00I thought...
01:15:01I thought you hated the crown.
01:15:05I only wanted to break your chains.
01:15:12I do hate the crown.
01:15:14But I love the north.
01:15:16I love our people.
01:15:17I am holding this line for your brother.
01:15:20So the children here.
01:15:21So my own daughter.
01:15:23Can sleep without fear of the slaughter.
01:15:25So it was just me.
01:15:27I was the only one who couldn't let go.
01:15:32Take me away.
01:15:34I will.
01:15:35I'll take you south.
01:15:37I want to sleep beneath the roses.
01:15:47Sixty years ago.
01:15:48To buy this realm a breath of life.
01:15:52I gave my own flesh and soul to the forge.
01:15:56No attachments.
01:15:58No desires.
01:15:59I told you to run.
01:16:02But of course.
01:16:03Fate demands its due.
01:16:14Would you still draw your blade for me?
01:16:17Knowing it will only lead to your grave.
01:16:19I am going.
01:16:21I've commanded the vanguard for years.
01:16:23I've faced death more times than I can count.
01:16:27But I have never lost.
01:16:29And I will not lose this time either.
01:16:33I will not lose this time.
01:16:33I'm going!
