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.
00:00:27Bring 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 Alistair 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.
00:01:30My lady. Please.
00:01:48Mind the steps, my lady.
00:01:53The sky turns.
00:02:04Sixty years ago.
00:02:07I broke myself into twelve embers.
00:02:11The throne was secured.
00:02:13My lord. It 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.
00:02:33I simply had to see who...
00:02:45Morgana, was it?
00:02:47You are a guest in my halls.
00:02:49Drink.
00:02:54Your wine, my lady.
00:02:56A blind witch.
00:02:58This shall prove too easy.
00:03:09But...
00:03:10I told them to boil it!
00:03:12Dorish vintage.
00:03:14Pity it turned to vinegar.
00:03:16Masked with...
00:03:17Heavy spice.
00:03:19Poured from the rot.
00:03:21At the bottom of your cellar.
00:03:23Is this...
00:03:24How House Alistair hides its decay?
00:03:26How could she possibly smell that?
00:03:28She knows.
00:03:29How could she know?
00:03:31You insolent wretch!
00:03:33Keep your filthy mouth!
00:03:38By his wits alone did Lord Alistair survive.
00:03:42Isabella, your gown!
00:03:43A tragedy.
00:03:44His bloodline rots with me.
00:03:47How dare you!
00:03:49My husband may tolerate your delusions.
00:03:51But I will not!
00:03:52You just assaulted the future Crown Princess by royal decree!
00:03:56You will kneel!
00:03:57And you will bleed for it!
00:03:59She is a fool.
00:04:00You are worse.
00:04:02Even the gods of the underworld have yet to see me kneel.
00:04:07Why would you?
00:04:10We shall see.
00:04:12Gods!
00:04:13Take her!
00:04:18And break her legs.
00:04:19Do it!
00:04:24Seize her!
00:04:26Now!
00:04:27Don't let her!
00:04:41Stop!
00:04:43Stop this at once!
00:04:45Fools!
00:04:50Morgana, they know nothing
00:04:52They acted out of turn
00:04:54Spare them
00:04:55I beg of you
00:04:57Alistair, father
00:04:59Both of you, you blind arrogant fools
00:05:02She chose restraint
00:05:04Or you would already be ashes upon this floor
00:05:07On your knees
00:05:09Beg for your lives
00:05:12I bow to no one
00:05:14I am the future crown princess
00:05:17I will wear the crown
00:05:18I will rule this realm
00:05:22I am a queen
00:05:24She is just a
00:05:25A pity
00:05:32No crown rests on a dead woman
00:05:37You will die before the wedding bells ring
00:05:57You
00:05:58Get out of my house
00:06:00Silence your tongue
00:06:03Morgana, please
00:06:04How do we stop this?
00:06:06Call off the royal wedding
00:06:09Break betrothal
00:06:12Or
00:06:13She dies
00:06:23The royal escort
00:06:24Led 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
00:06:54You heard the prophecy
00:06:55If Isabella rides to the palace today
00:06:58It will be her funeral
00:07:00The crown commands this union, Lord Alistair
00:07:04My escort is already at your gates
00:07:07You dare defy the throne over cheap politrix
00:07:11And break the royal contract?
00:07:13Unless
00:07:15You doubt my ability to keep her breathing
00:07:20No, commander
00:07:21Your blade is legendary
00:07:22Your tactics flawless
00:07:24The king trusts no other
00:07:25She is safe with you
00:07:28But
00:07:29Morgana has seen it
00:07:30She is our only hope
00:07:33Alistair
00:07:34The king's patience is not infinite
00:07:36Do 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
00:07:50I 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
00:08:03When the blood runs dry
00:08:11Play the prophet
00:08:13Watch her cross those gates alive
00:08:18I'll feel the blood

00:09:13I want a name.
00:09:14Yes, Commander!
00:09:22Thank the gods Cedric was here.
00:09:25We're safe.
00:09:27He earned his coin.
00:09:31You fight well, mortal.
00:09:34Pity it changes nothing.
00:09:35I do not guess.
00:09:39The grave is dug.
00:09:41The hour is here!
00:09:42Step forward, future Empress!
00:09:51Isabella, my love, finally.
00:09:58No!
00:09:59God!
00:10:07I'm ready, Father.
00:10:09The crown is mine.
00:10:11Our legacy begins.
00:10:14My 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.
00:10:32The prophecy is spoken.
00:10:35The bride won't survive this journey.
00:10:37I am never wrong.
00:10:39Enlighten me then, Oracle.
00:10:40Give 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...
00:10:55Can 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,
00:11:36then 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
00:11:43and 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.
00:12:04Let's put that to the test.
00:12:06Steel cannot touch me.
00:12:11By drawing it on me,
00:12:13you 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?
00:13:03She 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
00:13:38and take her head without a single sound?
00:13:41You mapped out her execution beforehand.
00:13:44Fine.
00:13:46Say 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.
00:14:07Name 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,
00:14:29then you have my trust.
00:14:32Don't make a vow you can't keep, Commander.
00:14:34You 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!
00:15:27Why is she here?
00:15:28Why is that blind woman in the judge's seat?
00:15:31Commander Ashworth!
00:15:32She killed her!
00:15:34She cursed my daughter and you let her sit there!
00:15:37His Royal Highness Prince Kale!
00:15:40Isabella!
00:15:41Let me through!
00:15:43Isabella!
00:15:44No!
00:15:44Look what they did to you!
00:15:46My beautiful girl!
00:15:48The audience is here.
00:15:50Let the performance end.
00:15:53Flesh to thread.
00:15:56Bone to command.
00:15:58Rise.
00:15:59Rise.
00:16:04You demanded proof, Commander.
00:16:07Behold the truth.
00:16:10You wove the crimson soul thread yourself.
00:16:14The bond is forged.
00:16:16Ask her.
00:16:19Isabella Alastom.
00:16:20Is your killer here?
00:16:29No!
00:16:46Keep that thing away!
00:16:48She's bewitched!
00:16:55The crown is ours, father.
00:16:59The sea is ruined.
00:17:01Demon playing.
00:17:02clark scene.
00:17:12Edmund Alaston.
00:17:17Now confess.
00:17:23Edmund Alaston...
00:17:26do you confess?
00:17:27I 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?
00:18:01Eleanor, why 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.
00:18:15Wait!
00:18:17It's impossible!
00:18:18Edmund, tell me you didn't!
00:18:21I had to secure our bloodline.
00:18:27Give 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?
00:18:43Why me?
00:18:44The consort is waiting.
00:18:47If it's a boy, I'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.
00:19:02Pure Alistair blood.
00:19:05A flawless son.
00:19:06Yours, if you dare.
00:19:09A 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.
00:19:46No.
00:19:47I 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, sitting on the throne.
00:20:04That's what he wanted.
00:20:07You need proof to make such claims.
00:20:10This dark sorcery proves absolutely nothing.
00:20:13Lord Alistair, if I had to guess,
00:20:16the moment the Emperor degreed Isabella's marriage,
00:20:19you realized if she entered the royal court,
00:20:21the Crown would eventually discover her secret.
00:20:23So you hired a pack of mercenaries
00:20:25to 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
00:20:31wouldn'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,
00:20:37they break much faster than paid assassins.
00:20:39Commander!
00:20:40Commander Ashworth!
00:20:41Lord Alistair's personal guard,
00:20:42they've confessed to everything.
00:20:43The signed confessions.
00:20:44They admit the Duke ordered them to silence Isabella
00:20:48before 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
00:21:02gave House Alistair absolute power.
00:21:06Unmatched wealth.
00:21:07Unmatched glory.
00:21:09But the Emperor still stood above me.
00:21:11Until that day
00:21:13when I saw...
00:21:17I saw...
00:21:22I saw the truth.
00:21:24If my son took the cradle,
00:21:27he'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,
00:21:39he would see my daughter.
00:21:43He'd see the exact face
00:21:45of 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!
00:21:59My son will be Emperor!
00:22:02I had to!
00:22:07Morgana, I confess it all.
00:22:09Punish me alone.
00:22:10I 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.
00:22:27My life for theirs.
00:22:31Edmund!
00:22:32No!
00:22:33Edmund!
00:22:34No, Edmund!
00:22:36Edmund!
00:22:38Please stay!
00:22:41Wake up, please!
00:22:42Don't leave me!
00:23:17I gave them my sight
00:23:18To 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
00:23:33With blood
00:23:36Mortal hands cannot hold the weight of a god
00:23:38It crushes them
00:23:41The Alistair debt is settled
00:23:43My sight is mine again
00:23:47Now
00:23:47We move to the next house
00:23:50Stop!
00:23:51You can't just march in there
00:23:53This is treason
00:23:54I must alert the Emperor
00:23:56No need to call the Emperor
00:23:58He's already here
00:24:05God

00:25:29You are completely right
00:25:30Please
00:25:31Rest at Ashermyth Palace
00:25:33Everything will grant her than

00:26:05Shut your mouth
00:26:06Shut your mouth
00:26:07Lady Morgana is the law
00:26:09Her word is absolute

00:26:27Of your retted house
00:26:28Do 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
00:26:37To attend to
00:26:38I must take my leave
00:26:44You serve Lady Morgana now
00:26:46Farewell
00:26:46Have a pleasant journey
00:26:51Earlier you said
00:26:52That 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
00:27:12Thanks to your grace
00:27:13Sixty years ago
00:27:15When you bestowed
00:27:16The Heartmen Shard upon us
00:27:17The Ashworth name
00:27:18Is now renowned
00:27:19For our healing arts
00:27:20You see?
00:27:21These afflicted souls
00:27:22Travel from the furthest
00:27:23Corners of the kingdom
00:27:24Seeking our aid
00:27:26So
00:27:27The legendary Ashworth
00:27:28Healing 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
00:27:46This is all the coin I have
00:27:48Please
00:27:50Show some mercy
00:27:51A handful of dirty coppers
00:27:54And you expect the master's healing for that?
00:27:57Get out of here
00:27:58Now
00:27:58Stop wasting everyone's time
00:28:00Selina!
00:28:03Cedric
00:28:04You're finally home
00:28:05When I gave your family the shard
00:28:08It was to heal the broken
00:28:10To serve the realm
00:28:11Not to exploit the weak
00:28:13You have broken the pact
00:28:14Give the fragment back
00:28:16Who do you think you are?
00:28:17How 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
00:28:26A ward
00:28:27Taken in by my father
00:28:30Selina
00:28:31We heal the sick
00:28:32Regardless of coin
00:28:33Have you forgotten?
00:28:35Go to the chapel
00:28:36Pray
00:28:36Beg her forgiveness
00:28:38You heard him
00:28:38To 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 Ashwilds honor your gift
00:28:50We'd never turn away the poor
00:28:52Most days
00:28:53We treat all these commoners
00:28:55Without asking for any money
00:28:57I said return the shard
00:29:02Or do you mean to defy me?
00:29:04No, no
00:29:04The relic is rightfully yours
00:29:07I will return it to you immediately
00:29:09It is just
00:29:10The Hartman's Shard
00:29:12Is kept safe by my eldest Marin
00:29:14She's been in seclusion
00:29:15At a distant abbey for years
00:29:16Once 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 with 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
00:29:48My sister came for me
00:29:50And the iron drove through her right arm in my place
00:29:53She was never the same again
00:29:58She was a master healer
00:30:00Those gifted hands
00:30:01She 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's 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
00:30:25That day
00:30:27Became a thorn in her heart
00:30:28One that will never be pulled out
00:30:30Every time she looks at me
00:30:32She remembers what saving me cost her
00:30:34Everything 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
00:31:00Even Lord Ashworth had to apologize to her
00:31:03Master Cedric serves her
00:31:04People are whispering
00:31:06She might be his future bride
00:31:09His future bride?
00:31:10Look at her
00:31:11She'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?
00:31:24Honeycakes
00:31:25Master Cedric's favorite
00:31:27And Imperial spiced wine
00:31:29For Lady Morgana
00:31:30Halt
00:31:33Imperial spiced wine?
00:31:35A gift from the Emperor himself
00:31:36It'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
00:31:46This widow's kiss is lethal
00:31:50No taste
00:31:51No cure
00:31:52Drink up, Morgana
00:31:54Go
00:31:55Take it to her
00:31:56I cannot, my lady
00:31:58She is Master Cedric's guest
00:32:00Know your place
00:32:04Without Ashfield Charity
00:32:07A useless old crone
00:32:08Would be rotting in the gutter
00:32:11Pathetic
00:32:16I am disciplining a servant
00:32:18Since when does a blind freak
00:32:20Interfere with Ashfield affairs
00:32:22If your tongue serves only to offend
00:32:25Then you should not speak at all
00:32:29Morgana
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
00:32:36What's doing this?
00:32:38Gards, help us
00:32:39Get Lord Aldrich
00:32:40She's choking
00:32:41She can't breathe
00:32:42Lord Aldrich
00:32:43Please, hurry
00:32:44I'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
00:33:12Please, 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!
00:33:20Every brick in this house
00:33:21Rests on the Hartman 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
00:33:32Have mercy
00:33:39Your mercy is boundless, my lady
00:33:41I will discipline the girl at once
00:33:45Come, my lady
00:33:45Let 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
00:34:07Wait 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
00:34:25When my own sister was lost to me
00:34:28She brought me warm broth
00:34:29And fresh bread
00:34:31With her
00:34:33I almost remember
00:34:34What having a sister felt like
00:34:35If that is true
00:34:36You should show her more grace
00:34:38While you can
00:34:38I 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
00:34:51Listen to me, child
00:34:53Never cross paths with Morgana again
00:34:56She thinks she owns us
00:34:58She thinks she owns us
00:34:58Patience, my sweet girl
00:34:59I'm securing your future
00:35:02Play the game
00:35:03Let her think she's win
00:35:05Soon everything will be yours
00:35:08Lady Morgana
00:35:10Lady Ashfield has sent me
00:35:12To return the Hartman Shard
00:35:13To its rightful owner
00:35:15We have heard
00:35:16When you take back what is yours
00:35:18You offer a reading in return
00:35:21Lady Ashworth has written her question
00:35:23Right here on this parchment
00:35:25Take it, Cedric
00:35:32I will not answer this question
00:35:34Because the Hartman Shard is a fake
00:35:37What?
00:35:39A fake?
00:35:41Someone must have switched it
00:35:43When she wasn't looking
00:35:43I'll get to the bottom of this
00:35:45Tonight
00:35:46Don't
00:35:48What is mine
00:35:49Will always return to my hands
00:35:52Lady Morgana
00:35:53Commander Ashford
00:35:57The Emperor begs your aid
00:35:59The Empress' door wager is dying
00:36:01The Royal Physicians can do nothing for her
00:36:03His Majesty demands you come at once
00:36:05Please, my Lady
00:36:06You 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
00:36:19Lady Morgana has arrived
00:36:25Morgana, thank the gods you have come
00:36:27Please, you must help her
00:36:28Mother is
00:36:29Her flame has burned out
00:36:31Her time is over
00:36:33Prepare the crypt
00:36:34Lies!
00:36:35That 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
00:36:49You have no real power
00:36:51You'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
00:37:01You should know
00:37:03Cedric knows it well
00:37:04My prophecies
00:37:06Are 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
00:37:12To decree my marriage to Cedric
00:37:14And I want your head
00:37:16Severed from your neck
00:37:18Your Grace
00:37:19Madness
00:37:20This is absolute madness
00:37:21Guards!
00:37:22Drag this madwoman away
00:37:24I accept
00:37:30Very well
00:37:31Give 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 Hartmannschnath
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
00:37:56Forcing fate
00:37:58Only brings ruin
00:37:59If 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
00:38:13By 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!
00:38:30Wake!
00:38:41What's happening?
00:38:43It 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
00:39:07No!
00:39:09How did this happen?
00:39:13You stole my magic
00:39:14But you never asked
00:39:16When the spell steals a living spark
00:39:18Whose spark
00:39:20Does it take?
00:39:23Move along
00:39:24Get out
00:39:25Move
00:39:26Before I drag you out
00:39:29Know who stands before you
00:39:31My lord
00:39:32I did not know
00:39:33Maren
00:39:34My lord
00:39:35You're mistaken
00:39:36She's not Maren
00:39:37She's just an old crone
00:39:39Nothing more
00:39:40My lord
00:39:41Get out
00:39:42Yes my lord
00:39:48My lord
00:39:49I'm nobody
00:39:50Just an old crone
00:39:51Nobody of importance
00:39:54Just a servant
00:39:55Just a servant
00:39:55This is the inner sanctum
00:39:56Only the bloodline
00:39:57Only the heartman shard bearer
00:40:00Can come here
00:40:02Let me see you
00:40:12That scar
00:40:15Where did this scar come from?
00:40:17Only Maren
00:40:18Only Maren bore this mark
00:40:21Maren?
00:40:24Why didn't you tell me?
00:40:29Whose life did you think you were spending?
00:40:59The Ashworth Empire
00:41:29She bore the shard for thirty years
00:41:32And you looked right through her
00:41:33And you looked right through her
00:41:34Stop
00:41:36What does that mean?
00:41:37You're a commander
00:41:38Open your eyes
00:41:40Every year on your birthday
00:41:42That old servant
00:41:43The only one who still cooks for you
00:41:45Who is she, Cedric?
00:41:51Lord Cedric, wait!
00:41:52You can't go in!
00:41:53My lord!
00:41:54She said no visitors!
00:41:55My lord!
00:42:02Maren
00:42:03Gods
00:42:05It's really you
00:42:09Why?
00:42:10All these years
00:42:11Why didn't you tell me?
00:42:13Every time I used the shard
00:42:15It stole a year of my life
00:42:17Burned away
00:42:19Then one morning
00:42:20I looked in the glass
00:42:22White hair
00:42:23Hands shaking like a crone
00:42:25Maren
00:42:26Let me in!
00:42:27My lord, no!
00:42:28Get off!
00:42:30I want my sister!
00:42:31Let me go!
00:42:33Maren!
00:42:34I couldn't let you see a monster
00:42:36No
00:42:37Stop it
00:42:38Don't ever say that
00:42:40Look 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
00:42:50I didn't see my own sister
00:42:53I'm sorry
00:42:54Oh, my brave little brother
00:42:56It's all right now
00:43:05Cedric
00:43:06Tomorrow is your name day
00:43:08I haven't made your broth yet
00:43:10Maren, please
00:43:11Please
00:43:12Just rest
00:43:13You made it for me every year
00:43:15My whole life
00:43:16Tomorrow
00:43:17I'll make it for you
00:43:24This is my fault
00:43:25I looked right at her
00:43:26And 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
00:43:34Year by year
00:43:34While 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
00:43:52Thank you
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
00:43:59I will repay that debt
00:44:01She hasn't eaten in days
00:44:02I made this for her
00:44:03I 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
00:44:08Something wrong?
00:44:11It's nothing
00:44:13Go to her
00:44:14I won't be long
00:44:24Maren!
00:44:26Maren, wake up!
00:44:28No, no, please!
00:44:29Maren!
00:44:31The scale always balances
00:44:35Get away from me!
00:44:38Don't touch me!
00:44:40I want my sister!
00:44:43Get away!
00:44:45Where is she?
00:44:49I want my sister!
00:44:52Cedric
00:44:53I'm here
00:44:55Look at me
00:44:56Don't touch me!
00:44:57You old witch!
00:45:02She's dead, isn't she?
00:45:04She left me
00:45:05Everyone always leaves
00:45:07But I'm staying
00:45:09To a legion
00:45:11I'm not going anywhere
00:45:15I'm here
00:45:16Right here
00:45:17I've got you
00:45:23Lord Ashworth
00:45:24She saved my family
00:45:26She saved so many
00:45:28We had to come
00:45:30Everyone knew how much
00:45:31She meant to you, my lord
00:45:32Her loss leaves a wound
00:45:33In all of us
00:45:35She gave everything
00:45:37Healed strangers
00:45:39Never once asked
00:45:40For 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
00:46:02His hands did that
00:46:04All of it
00:46:06Every shriveled vein on Maren's hands
00:46:08Every year carved from her face
00:46:11He arranged all of it
00:46:13Her life meant nothing to him
00:46:15He only cared about the gold
00:46:17The price her dying breath could buy
00:46:20Oracle, please
00:46:22Everyone here knows the Ashworth name
00:46:24We heal the sick
00:46:26We never ask for coin
00:46:27We serve the people
00:46:29You cannot just walk in here
00:46:31And spread lies about my family
00:46:35If you took no coin
00:46:36Then tell me what you've been hiding in the dark
00:46:40Every transaction
00:46:41Every name
00:46:42Every debt you buried
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
00:47:06For land
00:47:07We thought you were a saint, Aldric
00:47:10You're nothing but a leech
00:47:12A parasite
00:47:13You stole my sister's life
00:47:15You drained Maren dry
00:47:17To build your filthy empire
00:47:18And left her to rot in the dirt
00:47:20She gave everything
00:47:21And you ground her bones into your crown
00:47:24That is not the whole of his sin
00:47:26When Maren's face withered
00:47:28From what he forced on her
00:47:30He 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
00:47:39You are lying
00:47:40The child you had with her
00:47:42Has been living under this very roof
00:47:44You call her your ward
00:47:45You 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
00:48:02I have always bowed to your vision
00:48:04You cannot lay this at my feet
00:48:06I am innocent
00:48:07If there was money
00:48:08Missing from the patients
00:48:10Maren did it herself
00:48:12Plain greed
00:48:13She used the sick to line her own pockets
00:48:23Look out!
00:48:24Get back!
00:48:26That's gold
00:48:27He hid it in the tablet
00:48:32The heavens don't care for your lies
00:48:34But I do
00:48:36You built a dynasty on stolen breath
00:48:39You are no heir to what I left here
00:48:41You are a parasite
00:48:46My sister is dead
00:48:48She died a ruined servant under your roof
00:48:51And you dare stand over her coffin
00:48:54And call her a thief
00:48:56I will cut you apart right here
00:48:58Cedric
00:48:58Be reasonable
00:48:59Look at what she had become
00:49:00Who could look at that face
00:49:02And not be sickened
00:49:03You are no blood of mine
00:49:06You are nothing to me
00:49:07Is 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
00:49:13It binds only to the women
00:49:15It rejected me
00:49:16It was never my choice
00:49:17We kept her fed
00:49:19Kept a roof over her head
00:49:20She owed this family her service
00:49:22It was her duty to plead for us
00:49:25A lie
00:49:26I forged the healer's grace
00:49:28I wrote its laws
00:49:30It does not choose by blood or gender
00:49:32It chooses by the will to sacrifice
00:49:35It rejected you
00:49:36Because it looked inside your chest
00:49:38And found nothing at all
00:49:40You let a child wither in your place
00:49:43And called it fate
00:49:44You said you wished to carry the burden
00:49:46You wanted the ember's power for yourself
00:49:49You wanted it all
00:49:53Very well
00:49:57Let us see
00:49:58How much of it you can bear
00:50:05Very well
00:50:31No, get off me
00:50:33I am the lord of this
00:50:35No, get off me
00:50:38No, no, no, no
00:50:51Every year he stole from Maren
00:50:54They just ripped it back
00:51:14Maren! Can you hear me? Look at me!
00:51:20You... you 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?
00:51:50You...
00:51:58You...
00:52:04You...
00:52:22Please help us have mercy
00:52:28You're breathing
00:52:29I watched you stop
00:52:31I thought you were gone
00:52:33You're shaking
00:52:34Your birthday is soon
00:52:36I still owe you bread and broth
00:52:39I'll make it myself
00:52:41Just don't close your eyes again
00:52:44Promise me that
00:52:45Her face still carries what the years cost her
00:52:48But the thirty years Aldric took from her have been stripped from his bones
00:52:52They're hers now
00:52:54Her hand is healed
00:52:55The 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
00:53:07You 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
00:53:25I am your shield
00:53:26Your blade
00:53:28Point me at your enemies
00:53:29Wherever you walk
00:53:31I walk with you
00:53:32Until 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
00:53:44When I pulled the Hartman shard from your sister
00:53:47I absorbed thirty 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
00:54:14Did 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
00:54:23So 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
00:55:36Let them come
00:55:37I will survive it
00:55:38And 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
00:55:48My sister-in-law handles the killing
00:55:50She lets me read instead
00:55:52I apologize for the gate
00:55:54It's just
00:55:55Lately
00:55:55The moment the sun sets
00:55:57The dead walk
00:55:58Vesta fears the undead soldiers
00:56:00Breaching the walls
00:56:01Slaughtering our people
00:56:03Please forgive the locked gates, my lady
00:56:04These 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
00:56:27Finn!
00:56:35You dare test me boy
00:56:36Who 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?
00:56:47Vesper, wait
00:56:47This 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
00:56:58Not scavengers chasing fairy tales
00:57:00Commander Vesper
00:57:02Even the emperor bows to Lady Morgana
00:57:04I suggest you mind your tone
00:57:07Before I cut out your tongue
00:57:09Damn your southern king
00:57:11Here
00:57:12We follow north laws
00:57:13Your laws
00:57:15Tell me
00:57:17What does the north demand?
00:57:19You want to see him?
00:57:21Bleed for it
00:57:22Best me in combat
00:57:24Win
00:57:24And you get your audience
00:57:26And your precious shard
00:57:27Lose
00:57:28And you crawl back south
00:57:31Frostbite does not serve the weak
00:57:33I'll gladly test your eye on commander
00:57:35Good
00:57:36A real man
00:57:37Bring me my steel
00:57:48Hold the gate
00:57:50I am Cedric Ashworth
00:57:52Commander of the Obsidian Guards
00:57:54Hold the gates
00:57:54Guards
00:57:55They're here
00:57:56Fall back
00:57:57Bar the gates
00:58:02Go on they
00:58:12Ring of steel
00:58:13Protect Morgana
00:58:21Ash to ash
00:58:23Darkness breaks
00:58:25Done
00:58:45This malice
00:58:46I know it
00:58:48She broke them
00:58:49Who goes there?
00:58:51Morgana
00:58:52Lady Morgana
00:58:54Forgive me
00:58:55My grandfather speaks of you often
00:58:59And you are?
00:59:00Finn Ravenkest my lady
00:59:01Grandson to Patriarch Thorn
00:59:03Morgana
00:59:05Smile for me
00:59:07You look best when you smile
00:59:09Foolish
00:59:19Morgana
00:59:20My sister-in-law is a monster
00:59:22On 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
01:00:19Always leaving room to retreat
01:00:21Remember
01:00:22A real enemy won't give you quarter
01:00:25The only way to outlive them
01:00:28Is to care less about dying
01:00:29Mother
01:00:32Mother
01:00:35There's my little bird
01:00:37You promised me
01:00:38We'd practice archery today
01:00:40I know
01:00:41Go grab your bow
01:00:43I'm coming
01:00:43Okay
01:00:47When you have something
01:00:49You can't leave behind
01:00:49Then teach me to fight
01:00:52Tomorrow I will grant you
01:00:54To an audience for the Patriarch
01:00:58You see
01:00:59I am still breathing
01:01:00If you had truly defied my vision
01:01:04Now that
01:01:05Would be interesting
01:01:09Two years ago
01:01:10At the Bloodwater siege
01:01:12Vesta's husband
01:01:13Begged the Emperor for reinforcements
01:01:15But the Royal Court
01:01:17Was busy preparing
01:01:18The Emperor's Jubilee
01:01:18The 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
01:01:25To hate the crown
01:01:27She struck a deal
01:01:28With the enemy
01:01:30You are wrong
01:01:32You said we were seeing
01:01:33The Patriarch
01:01:34Why bring us to a crypt?
01:01:36Whatever you see in there
01:01:37Hold your nerve
01:01:39My grandfather rests inside
01:01:41Please
01:01:41This way
01:01:58What?
01:02:02My lady
01:02:03The 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
01:02:10For such common scraps
01:02:11These are royal pelts from
01:02:15Gods
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
01:02:25These 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
01:02:33It's beautiful
01:02:34I can't even imagine it
01:02:36So this is what the South grows
01:02:39Here in Frostspike
01:02:41The winter never ends
01:02:42The ground is iron
01:02:43Nothing this fragile
01:02:44Could ever survive the frost
01:02:47If it pleases you, boy
01:02:48Help us reclaim the sherd
01:02:50From your keep
01:02:51And this mantle
01:02:52Is yours to keep
01:02:54Truly?
01:02:55You swear on your honor?
01:02:57On my blood
01:02:59Done
01:03:00I'll get ready
01:03:05You barter with the boy
01:03:06Because you are certain
01:03:07That Vesta will not surrender the shard
01:03:14Is this?
01:03:16It is Thorn
01:03:17Yes
01:03:17Since the ambush six months ago
01:03:20This crust began to form
01:03:22It started around his wounds
01:03:24Then it spread
01:03:25Swallowing him whole
01:03:27How many healers have you called?
01:03:29All of them
01:03:30None could break it
01:03:47This isn't a sickness, is it?
01:03:49It is his own madness
01:03:51His madness
01:03:52Thorn's natural life
01:03:55Ended in the snow
01:03:56Six months ago
01:04:00But his fury
01:04:01Anchored him here
01:04:03He refuses to pass on
01:04:05And the shard
01:04:06Buried within him
01:04:07Gave his wrath
01:04:09A physical form
01:04:10Spawning the dead
01:04:11That batter your gates
01:04:12While this stone shell
01:04:15Devours his remaining soul
01:04:16The undead
01:04:19They came from my grandfather's own mind
01:04:23What kind of nightmare
01:04:24Could be powerful enough
01:04:26To breed an entire army of corpses
01:04:32What 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
01:04:55But the shard must be freely given
01:04:58Even 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
01:05:11If the ward fails
01:05:13If the dead breach the line
01:05:16Or if you are overrun
01:05:18Do not die for me
01:05:20Leave
01:05:21My orders stand
01:05:23You are my charge
01:05:25I do not break the line
01:05:41I remember a boy
01:05:43One who chased my shadow
01:05:46Always begging for stories
01:05:48Now
01:05:50Reduced to stone
01:05:55Veil left
01:05:56Fleshbind
01:05:58Awaken
01:06:01Thorn
01:06:04Ashworth
01:06:06Her magic broke
01:06:07She's bleeding
01:06:19Shit
01:06:20Shit
01:06:32Finn
01:06:33What are you doing?
01:06:34I'm done pretending, Commander
01:06:36Did you honestly think Vesper was the one who crippled my grandfather?
01:06:40It was me
01:06:41Who left the gate wide open
01:06:43So
01:06:44You're the rat
01:06:45They butchered your parents
01:06:47Slaughtered your own brothers
01:06:48They bled Frostbeard dry
01:06:50And you sold us out to the monsters?
01:06:52Ha ha ha ha ha
01:06:54Sold us out?
01:06:55Monsters?
01:06:56Better than being the crown's lapdog
01:06:57Why should we bleed for them?
01:06:59Our ancestors all followed Morgana
01:07:01We were equals once
01:07:02But because they got different shards
01:07:04Some 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
01:07:12Just another name on a tombstone
01:07:14Waiting to be wiped out
01:07:16I won't let it end like this
01:07:19I'm going to tear Frostfire down
01:07:21Break 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?
01:08:04RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
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
01:08:25I dare not leave
01:08:28enough Thorn
01:08:30you have bled enough
01:08:33your bloodline
01:08:34your men
01:09:12let the obsession die
01:09:16you must go
01:09:17whatever my sister commands
01:09:22Thorn will always obey
01:09:26but before I return the shard
01:09:30Morgana
01:09:31may I ask you one question
01:09:43you
01:09:44you
01:09:45you
01:09:46you
01:09:47you
01:09:47you
01:09:52Let's go.
01:09:52Let's go.
01:10:34Sis, you came.
01:10:38Sister, I...
01:10:40What is happening to me?
01:10:41Where are we?
01:10:43Your mortal life is ended.
01:10:45But your obsession anchored you here.
01:10:49Your soul was twisted by inner demons and the Shard.
01:10:53You are nothing but a lingering phantom now.
01:11:08What did you want to ask?
01:11:12All these years, alone in the dark.
01:11:20Were you alright, Morgana?
01:11:36You won't touch her!
01:11:40I was fine.
01:11:45That is good.
01:11:56I did.
01:12:25The witch.
01:12:38So, this is the death you saw for 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.
01:13:09Morgana, I make no grand claims, but I swear, I will help you take it all back.
01:13:33Monster.
01:13:34Monster, you godless monster!
01:13:50This world is sick.
01:13:58Finn.
01:13:59Why would you do this?
01:14:02My brother, he 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.
01:15:15I 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 can 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.
01:16:04Fate 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 am gonna be here.
01:16:34I am not sure.
01:16:35I am not sure.
01:16:38I am not sure.
01:16:41I am not sure.
01:16:45I am not sure.
01:16:47Why the Frost Spire?
01:16:49Why Thorn Ravencrest?
01:16:50Why Thorn Ravencrest?
01:16:50My youngest student. Still breathes. I need to see him.
01:16:56And the Ravencrust piece of the crown. What is it, exactly?
01:17:00A drop of my own blood, the Undying Spark.
01:17:03Your blood? No wonder your skin is like ice.
01:17:07Morgana, how did you lose your eyes?
01:17:09Sixty winters ago, the realm was drowning in its own blood.
01:17:15To buy them a dawn, I offered my own flesh and soul.
01:17:19I stripped everything away, bound it to the obsidian.
01:17:24Twelve fragments, given to twelve disciples to save this world.
01:17:30Sixty years have passed. My students took that power and forged twelve great bloodlines.
01:17:37And now, there is peace.
01:17:40Now I take back what is mine.
01:17:44Morgana, what else are you missing? You never change your boots.
01:17:47I've never seen you eat. Or sleep, for that matter.
01:17:52Your hair turned white.
01:17:53Silence.
01:18:02Morgana.
01:18:05I will help you get it all back.
01:18:08Every last piece.
01:18:11You have my word.
01:18:13No matter what it takes.
01:18:16No matter the cost.
01:18:23That shard of the crown was torn from my own veins.
01:18:29A single drop of my heart's blood.
01:18:34I never thought you would waste such a priceless piece of yourself on me.
01:18:38I never thought I'd even be alive.
01:18:41My lady, you always said your prophecies are absolute, never wrong.
01:18:45To give me the shard.
01:18:46To force me to live.
01:18:48Isn't this defying the gods themselves?
01:18:50Taking the heart back was a mistake.
01:18:59Morgana.
01:19:24My lady, forgive me.
01:19:28Assassins!
01:19:44This southern blood magic.
01:19:46They say one puppet butchers ten men.
01:19:49And I tore them apart before they could even blink.
01:19:52I feel like I could rip through solid iron.
01:19:54You were bleeding to death.
01:19:56No medicine could save you.
01:19:57So I bound a fraction of my shard to your fading heart.
01:20:01Tethered your life to mine.
01:20:03With my power in your veins, no mortal man can stand against you.
01:20:07You could have run.
01:20:09You chose to stay.
01:20:11You accepted my gift.
01:20:14From now on, you are bound to my will.
01:20:17Are we clear?
01:20:20So I am no better than these husks.
01:20:23I'm just your puppet.
01:20:25Do not compare yourself to such pathetic trash.
01:20:29They are nothing like you.
01:20:33You.
01:20:35You are my masterpiece.
01:20:49Farewell.
01:20:51Be wary.
01:20:52Without the Primordial Crown's shard, the Horde will show no mercy.
01:20:57I know the risks, but I command this gate.
01:21:01Shard or no shard, the Ravencrest will hold this line.
01:21:05To the last breath.
01:21:10The Horde is at our walls.
01:21:12I ride with the Vanguard.
01:21:13Godspeed.
01:21:27Why didn't you tell her about the warding spikes you planted?
01:21:31The wards are nothing compared to the Primordial blood still boiling in their veins.
01:21:36They will survive.
01:21:40What's happening?
01:21:42Are you all right?
01:21:42I feel a disturbance.
01:21:44A forbading sensation.
01:21:46I have looked ahead.
01:21:48I wish I had not.
01:21:49The road before us is dark, Cedric.
01:22:07We must push forward.
01:22:09Wherever you go, I will follow.
01:22:11I will follow.
01:22:12Where to next?
01:22:14South.
01:22:15To the Scarlet Lands.
01:22:17I want to meet the fool who thought they could kill me.
01:22:48My lady, please.
01:22:49Blood Covenant, my grandfather's blood covenant, my grandfather sworn, binds every generation after him.
01:22:54House Alistair owes you everything it has and everything it is.
01:22:57You have my word.
01:22:59You have my word.
01:23:00I will honor the pact.
01:23:01I will honor the pact.
01:23:01Willingly.
01:23:04The old man bred well.
01:23:06An obedient heir.
01:23:13Since when does my father kneel for peasants?
01:23:18The iris ember, my lady.
01:23:21A covenant is a covenant is a trade.
01:23:50It will be her fate.
01:23:52Bring the girl to me.
01:23:54Mother, the night before my royal wedding, some blind woman in funeral rags walks into our home and father knelt
01:24:02for her.
01:24:04Tell me the truth.
01:24:05Is she one of his lowborn mistresses crawling here to beg for coins?
01:24:11If we allow that woman to stand in our halls without putting her on her knees, she will believe she
01:24:18belongs here.
01:24:20And we cannot have that.
01:24:21Then let's remind her how this house treats beggars.
