Short filmTranscript
00:00I stayed here for four men who loved me more than anything.
00:04My eldest brother, Edric Mayne, the Worth King.
00:07My second brother, Vulcan Ember, the Wifen King.
00:11My third brother, Alphath Crest, the Griffin King.
00:17And then there's Silas.
00:19A pure-hearted Pegasus.
00:21To him, I'm his whole world.
00:24When I got pregnant, I thought I had it all.
00:26But everything changed.
00:28They came back with a swan woman.
00:30My exact copy.
00:31Mayev, from now on, Cassandra is your sister.
00:35Cassandra smiled at me.
00:37She loved us, so she began to twirl.
00:40But suddenly, she grabbed her chest and fell to the ground.
00:44Through the chaos, her trembling finger pointed past everyone, straight at my belly.
00:48Mayev, she's trying to steal my life force for herself.
00:52Next thing I knew, Edric pinned me and forced the truth potion down my throat.
00:58Vulcan dragged me to my knees by Cassandra's bed and made me grovel.
01:02My baby was dying inside me, barely holding on.
01:06Mayev's gotten so vicious since she got pregnant.
01:09Such a waste of that precious unicorn body.
01:13How about we rip her heart out and give it to Cassandra after the birth?
01:18Damn right.
01:20Only Cassandra deserves that unicorn heart.
01:23Then we shove Cassandra's bad heart back into Mayev.
01:27Suits her perfectly.
01:28Truth is, I don't belong here.
01:30I'm a traveler from another world.
01:32I only stayed because I couldn't let go of their love.
01:35I threw away my chances to go back.
01:37And now, they want to rip my heart out for a swan made of lies.
01:44One last chance, Mayev.
01:47Do you truly give up on returning home?
01:49I made up my mind, Guardian Spirit.
01:51I want to go home.
01:52Then your mortal form in this world must die completely.
01:56Only then can your soul go back.
01:58Then I'll die.
02:00Right now, I'm ending the lies.
02:02On my own.
02:03I grab the sharp piece of glass from the floor and press it to my throat.
02:07Stop!
02:07Mayev, what the hell are you doing?
02:09An arrow hits the shard and knocks it out of my hand.
02:11Before I can even move, Edric charges.
02:14His claws sink into my skin as he priss me down.
02:17Wanna die?
02:17No fucking way!
02:19Cassandra is not healed!
02:20Your life belongs to her!
02:21I saved it for her!
02:23Yeah, he saved my life once.
02:24But it wasn't for Cassandra.
02:26Years ago, I got so sick I was almost dead.
02:28My soul was about to drift back to my own world.
02:31Edric cut his own neck and shoulder.
02:34Using the Worf's lifeblood to save me.
02:39He was bedridden for three months because of that.
02:42But then Cassandra was brought before Edric.
02:44And someone said her dance had healing powers.
02:46Look at her, Mayev.
02:47Vulcan gazes at Cassandra sprawled on the grass.
02:50His eyes full of pity.
02:51See how fragile she is?
02:53We gotta give her a home.
02:54At first, the four of them just comforted her whenever she coughed.
02:57Then, she wanted my ruby necklace.
02:59The only gift I had left.
03:01Alphador had snapped it right off my neck with his claws and soared away.
03:05Cassandra's fragile.
03:06Just let her have it.
03:07I'll buy you another one later.
03:08Later, when she fell ill, I stood over a hot stove for hours,
03:12brewing medicine for her despite my heavy, pregnant belly.
03:14But the moment she drank it, she slammed the bowl aside and threw herself into my husband's arms.
03:21Mayev's potion.
03:22It hurts my heart even more.
03:24Is she trying to steal my...
03:29I get it.
03:30You're pregnant.
03:30You're emotional.
03:31You need the nutrition.
03:33But this...
03:34Silas threw me to the ground.
03:35My brothers forced me to my knees, making me beg her for mercy.
03:39The memory snaps away.
03:41I'm back in the present.
03:42And Edric's hand is still choking the life out of me.
03:45Because of Cassandra, they've twisted every beautiful memory we ever shared into something ugly.
03:51I'm leaving.
03:54Leaving?
03:57I've been way too soft on you, Mayev.
03:59That's why you think and act out like this.
04:02Since you're so disobedient, then hurry up and give birth so you can give Cassandra your blood!
04:09Edric shifts with a sickening crack into his massive wharf form.
04:13His heavy tail whips around my waist, lifting me up and slamming me onto his back.
04:17He lets out a deafening howl and charges straight towards the high temple.
04:21I grip his coarse mane, watching the stone pillars of the temple loom closer and closer.
04:25If he gets me inside, they will cut me open.
04:27No!
04:28I am going home!
04:29My jaw sets.
04:30My eyes turn to ice.
04:31I let go of his mane, throw my weight sideways, and plunge straight down into the abyss of the canyon.
04:37Mayev!
04:39Above me, the giant wolf whips around, diving into the canyon after me.
04:43As I fall through the empty air, I watch him dive headfirst after me.
04:47I used to love racing through this canyon with Edric.
04:51Dying down here, deep in the shadows.
04:54Maybe it will make the old memories taste a little sweeter.
04:56I roll mid-air, spreading my arms to welcome the end.
04:59But the brutal...
05:01Instead, I slam into a broad, powerful back.
05:04It's Edrent.
05:05He caught me before I could hit the canyon floor.
05:08His massive tail wraps around my waist, lowering me onto the ground.
05:11The giant wolf shifts back into his human form.
05:15You've got some nerve, Mayev!
05:17Try to weaponize your own death just to get your way!
05:22The jagged stones slice into my bare feet, but I don't say a word.
05:26I just stare past him.
05:27What, nothing to say?
05:28Can't even bother to make a stupid lie this time?
05:31Listen, even if you're hell-bent on dying, you are not dragging Silas's unborn child down with you!
05:38I'm not trying to threat you at Edric.
05:41I'm leaving.
05:43Permanently.
05:43I promise you, you aren't going anywhere!
05:47He lets out a piercing wolf cry.
05:49The sun goes dark as Vulcan swoops down in his massive wyvern form.
05:53Before I can react, Edric hauls me onto the wyvern's back and pins my arms from behind.
05:58Let's see you try to escape now.
06:01The wyvern kicks off the ground, launching us into the sky like a rocket.
06:06Let me go!
06:07I'm leaving!
06:10Vulcan's wyvern form is insanely fast.
06:13In a matter of seconds, we slam down onto the stone courtyard of the High Temple.
06:17Edric yanks me off the rough, scaly high.
06:19The moment Vulcan shifts back into his human heart, he storms right into my face.
06:24Maeve!
06:25You've completely lost your mind!
06:28How dare you thrash around like that on my back!
06:31If I had lost control a mile high, you would have killed us all!
06:34Don't waste your breath on her.
06:37Get her into the temple and begin the extraction now.
06:40Before she destroys my child too.
06:43I look at their faces, and for a second, the world blurs.
06:47The last time they surrounded me like this was my birthday last year.
06:51May this wolf fang protect you forever, my sweet Maeve.
06:55Forged from my own scales, may you always be strong.
06:59The brightest jewel for our only treasure.
07:01May you never want for anything.
07:03I brewed this honey sweet elixir just for you.
07:06It will ensure our baby is born safely.
07:08Back then, they made me the happiest woman in the Mythos Realm.
07:16We're doing the procedure right now.
07:20Activate the Ultim.
07:21Begin the extraction.
07:25No!
07:26I let out a gut-ranking scream.
07:28Then everything goes black.
07:30I feel Edric's ritual knife slice open my chest.
07:32Vulcan rips the pure unicorn heart right out of me.
07:34My husband carries Cassandra over and lays her down right beside me.
07:38Alfred guides my heart towards Cassandra, infusing it into her chest.
07:40The fusion is flawless.
07:42Cassandra is saved.
07:43Quick, quick, take Cassandra's discarded failing heart and force it into Maeve.
07:50My body doesn't want your garbage.
07:57Maeve?
07:59Maeve?
08:01Maeve, accept the heart now!
08:05I got the heart in!
08:08Wake up, dammit!
08:09Do you hear you hear me?
08:10This is impossible!
08:12Unicorns have the strongest life force in existence!
08:15How can her body just refuse the bond?
08:18My soul drifts higher, hovering on the edge of life and death.
08:22I am so close to leaving these men forever.
08:25Honey.
08:27Maeve, look at me.
08:28Open your eyes.
08:29Please.
08:31Don't fight the heart.
08:33Take it.
08:34Come back.
08:35Stay here.
08:36Guardian spirit, please, take me home.
08:40There is nothing left for me here.
08:42Just let me go back.
08:49They all press down on my chest together.
08:52Desperately fighting to drag my rising soul back and down.
08:57In all that chaos, I didn't die.
09:00Instead, the dead, lifeless baby has finally left my body.
09:03Oh, God.
09:04She's breathing.
09:05Maeve, you are so damn stubborn!
09:07How could you pull a stunt like that on the divine altar?
09:09I'm so sorry, baby.
09:11If you need to blame someone, blame me.
09:13We did everything we could, but the surgery just didn't work.
09:16We couldn't save the baby, but don't worry.
09:18You're alive.
09:19We'll have more kids, I swear.
09:21It's only the loss of a child.
09:23As long as you rest and recover, I promise I'll use the finest elixirs to nurse you back to health.
09:29Only the loss of a child?
09:32It was all an accident, Maeve.
09:33If you're hurting, just blame me.
09:35Put it all on me.
09:37Didn't die.
09:38And now I get to listen to them cover up the whole thing.
09:41As if I, a unicorn, can't feel the difference.
09:55Maeve, what the hell are you doing?
10:00Accident?
10:01The surgery failed?
10:03Then why is the heart in her chest glowing with pure unicorn white light?
10:14Maeve, let her go.
10:16Cassandra, you want to tell me that heart in your chest isn't mine?
10:19Maeve, why are you blaming Cassandra?
10:22She almost died from a heart attack.
10:24Someone gave her a heart to save her life.
10:25Oh, so here's the thing.
10:27My heart is cracked to pieces.
10:30But Cassandra's heart?
10:31Shining bright white.
10:32And you're saying I'm just making up reasons to blame her?
10:36Maeve, look, we-
10:38Right.
10:39Sure.
10:39Maybe my heart just happened to go bad during the surgery.
10:42And she just happened to get a heart that glows like a unicorn.
10:46It just happened.
10:48Maeve.
10:52Maeve, I brought you some sacred water from the Griffins.
10:55Drink it, you'll get your strength back.
10:57I close my eyes.
10:58Done hoping.
11:00After he leaves, I get up and head to Cassandra's room.
11:04All gold and glitter.
11:05I climb onto her bed.
11:07Push down hard on the mattress.
11:09Try to choke the life out of her.
11:17Maeve?
11:17What are you doing in here?
11:19I went to your room and you were gone.
11:20You shouldn't be running around like this.
11:21Where is she?
11:23She-
11:23She just went for a walk in the garden.
11:25She just had surgery.
11:26And she's walking?
11:27She said the room felt stuffy.
11:30Needed fresh air.
11:32You-
11:32You haven't drank the water I gave you.
11:34Go back and drink it, okay?
11:36Be good.
11:38I see him wave his hand.
11:40Guards and servants swarm around me.
11:42After that, I'm like a puppet.
11:44They force-feed me.
11:45Watch me so I can't end things myself.
11:48God, I just want to go home.
11:49One time the maids step out to job.
11:51I crawl to the window, ready to jump.
11:55Who's-
11:56Cassandra!
12:00Maeve, I know you're jealous my heart is fixed.
12:03But did you really gotta throw something and make me fall?
12:12Maeve, you're like this and you still want to hurt Cassandra?
12:15How many times do we have to tell you?
12:18Your heart was never swapped!
12:19Maeve just went through childbirth.
12:21It hit her hard.
12:22We need to give her time.
12:23Fine.
12:24You stay home and rest.
12:25We're taking Cassandra to the forest.
12:27Silas, come with me.
12:28You promised you'd take me to that place in the forest, remember?
12:31I should stay at the castle with your sister.
12:33She's-
12:33If Cassandra wants you to go, then go.
12:35But I wait all night in my room.
12:38No one comes.
12:39Not the cave.
12:42That place in the forest?
12:43Heh.
12:44I'd like to see what tricks you're up to.
12:49Silamis, come on.
12:51Again.
12:52Easy, babe.
12:53You just got the new heart.
12:55You can't handle that much yet.
12:56You promised me.
12:58Once my heart was fixed, you'd give me what I want.
13:00Break the bond with her and do it with me instead.
13:02You're not backing out, are you?
13:04Baby, I'll give you everything.
13:06But we still need Maeve to keep giving you blood.
13:08Otherwise, you'll reject the heart.
13:12Oh, Silas, you're mine forever.
13:14Say you love me.
13:15You're so amazing, Cassandra.
13:18So you've been planning this together all along.
13:21Well, now I don't want to die so fast.
13:26Maeve?
13:27What are you doing here?
13:31You bitch!
13:33What are you doing?
13:34Maeve!
13:35What the hell is wrong with you?
13:40What's wrong with me?
13:42My husband is naked in a cave with my sister.
13:45You tell me who's crazy here.
13:49Last night, there was a thunderstorm in the forest.
13:52Cassandra got scared.
13:53We hid in the cave.
13:54I'm sorry, Maeve.
13:56I was so scared last night.
13:58We didn't do anything.
14:03Simus had too much wine.
14:05That's all.
14:06It's no big deal.
14:07I've stayed in caves with Cassandra when she was scared before.
14:10What about you?
14:11Got anything to say?
14:13Yeah, Maeve.
14:14Cassandra's pure by nature.
14:16She wouldn't do anything wrong.
14:18Want me to play back what they've done last night?
14:20All of it?
14:21For you, brothers?
14:24Silamus.
14:25My heart.
14:27I can't breathe.
14:31Cassandra!
14:35You're throwing a fit out here just to make Cassandra sick again?
14:40Fine!
14:41You can donate blood to save her!
14:45You wanted my blood.
14:46You wanted my heart.
14:48Now take my life.
14:50I am done with this world.
14:54No!
14:54That's not possible!
14:56It was just a blood draw!
14:57Why would you do this?
14:58Why would you do this?
15:00Why?
15:01Move!
15:02Let me!
15:03Let me!
15:07Maeve!
15:08I won't let you die!
15:10You hear me?
15:15Take her to the main Divine Ultra.
15:17The High Elder can save her.
15:19Yes, the High Elder.
15:20We need the High Elder.
15:30We need the High Elder.
15:34Don't waste your effort.
15:36What do you mean?
15:39The Unicorn's descendant has completely abandoned this body.
15:44You killed her!
15:49You killed her!
16:14You forced her to repent!
16:15You forced her to repent!
16:20Simus!
16:20Where did you guys go?
16:22While you were gone, Maeve hit me!
16:24Maeve blamed me for making her lose all that blood.
16:28It hurts so much, brothers.
16:31Silas!
16:32Where did you go?
16:34She's just jealous that you all love me so much.
16:37That's why she's picking on me when you're not around.
16:41It's okay.
16:42I'm the one who took her heart.
16:44It's only fair she gets to blow off some steam.
16:47But Maeve is right here.
16:54Maeve never lied.
16:56And we made her repent over and over.
17:01Maeve!
17:02We were wrong about you.
17:04Cassandra!
17:05This is all Cassandra's fault!
17:09I'll make her pay.
17:10She can die with Maeve!
17:17My name is Maeve, and I have a message for every god and every citizen of this realm.
17:21My three brothers, Edric, Vulcan, Alfard, and my husband, Silas.
17:24They conspired to steal my Unicorn heart and murder me.
17:29Since you won't listen, let's just do the surgery.
17:32Never mind the stillborn.
17:33Take the heart first.
17:34Hurry, put Cassandra's bad heart into Maeve's body.
17:38Oh my god!
17:39Is this really the Beast Kings we loved?
17:42They gouged out their sister's and wife's Unicorn heart for a swan woman?
17:46The Unicorn heart is sacred!
17:48It protects the entire city!
17:50These men are absolutely disgusting!
17:52We still need Maeve to keep giving you blood.
17:55Once your body fully accepts her heart, I'll break the bond with her.
17:58Simus is beyond shameless!
18:00He stole her heart, and now he wants her blood too?
18:03They can't get away with this!
18:04Stealing a Unicorn's heart and blood is a grave sin!
18:08Murdering your own family is even worse!
18:10We're gonna confront them!
18:13AAAAAAAA!
18:21Monsters, murderers, give back our city's sacred relic!
18:32Strip them of their divine titles!
18:35Banish them to the Abyss!
18:38I confess, I'll take any punishment.
18:45But please, let Maeve be buried in peace.
18:49I beg you, find a quiet hill for her.
18:52Lay her to rest.
18:53You have no right to bury her!
18:54You make me sick!
18:55To calm the city's rage,
18:58you will kneel at Maeve's grave and repent for three years.
19:07Maeve!
19:08I'm so sorry!
19:10You struggled so hard on my wife and back!
19:13Why did I ever take you back to that hell?
19:15I used to take you up above the clouds to watch sunsets,
19:19but now I'm left with nothing but pain!
19:23I took her favorite ruby necklace and never gave her anything back!
19:28I'm the real liar!
19:39Oh no!
19:40Oh no!
19:45Oh Maeve!
19:46How could you leave us so suddenly?
19:49My heart is really breaking here!
19:51Silas, why did you bring her?
19:55I brought her here to confess.
19:57To apologize.
19:59If she hadn't stirred things up,
20:01we never would have ended up like this.
20:06Maeve, I'm sorry.
20:08This is all my fault.
20:11If I'd known my being here would push her to do something so drastic,
20:15would cause all of you brothers so much pain,
20:17I swear I never would have agreed to come to this family.
20:20I never would have accepted your help.
20:21I'm so sorry.
20:22I truly am.
20:24Stupid bitch.
20:25So what if you told the whole city,
20:27you're dead now?
20:29This perfect unicorn heart
20:31is finally mine.
20:34Cassandra,
20:35put away your sick little thoughts.
20:40Big brother?
20:41What are you talking about?
21:00Big brother,
21:02why aren't I your favorite?
21:05Shut up!
21:05You lying swan!
21:07You're still trying to trick me?
21:09Give Maeve back her heart!
21:11Yeah.
21:13Give it back.
21:14That's Maeve's.
21:16If we give it back,
21:17will she come back?
21:18This is your punishment for seducing me!
21:21Give Maeve back her heart!
21:22No.
21:23No.
21:25No.
21:26No.
21:28Maeve!
21:28Maeve!
21:28Maeve!
21:28Maeve!
21:56Don't go!
21:58Let go.
21:59No.
22:00I'll never let go again!
22:02Maeve,
22:03do you remember when you first came home?
22:05You couldn't even speak our language.
22:07Every night I stayed with you,
22:09teaching you word by word.
22:10We made a promise
22:11to stay together forever.
22:19Maeve,
22:19this is all my fault!
22:22Stay!
22:23I'll take you flying again.
22:25You used to love that,
22:26didn't you?
22:30Please, Maeve,
22:32I'll give you gems.
22:34I'll give you everything,
22:35whatever you want,
22:36okay?
22:41Here, Maeve,
22:42take it out on me.
22:44Make me suffer everything you suffered!
22:58Bed 36.
22:59Maeve,
23:01wake up.
23:02Any family here?
23:07No cold surgical knife.
23:10My heart's beating steady.
23:13My heart's beating steady.
23:13I rip the IV out of my hand
23:15and stumble into the bathroom.
23:20The girl in the mirror looks pale,
23:22but her clothes are clean.
23:23She's wearing normal clothes.
23:25Go home.
23:25My golden retriever comes running,
23:27tail wagging,
23:28licking my hand.
23:29I wrap my arms around his furry neck
23:31and collapse onto the wooden floor
23:33by the door.
23:33Is this real?
23:34Am I really back?
23:38Clear.
23:39Not bloody tears.
23:43But then I shiver.
23:44That suffocating feeling
23:45of those four men
23:46dragging me back
23:47into that muddy grave.
23:48I step outside again.
23:54Maeve,
23:55your heart looks great.
23:56All your blood work is normal.
23:57You're in excellent health.
23:58But doctor,
23:59I felt my heart being carved out.
24:01I felt all my blood being drained.
24:02Was that really just
24:03a hallucination?
24:04A nightmare?
24:05You've probably been under
24:06a lot of stress.
24:07Severe schismatic pymdoms.
24:08Your body created real physical pain.
24:11But I can promise you,
24:12you're completely safe.
24:14Get some rest.
24:15I go home and start searching online.
24:17Then my eyes catch something.
24:19A hidden encrypted page.
24:23Got it.
24:25Mythos Realm explained.
24:27The mysterious contact
24:28on that encrypted website
24:30claims she also escaped
24:31from the world of fantasy beasts.
24:33Are there other survivors
24:34in this world?
24:35Who is she?
24:38Sandy?
24:41Sitting across from me
24:42is my twin sister.
24:44The one who went missing years ago.
24:46Sandy?
24:48Maeve,
24:49it's me.
24:55It took me ten years
24:57to claw my way out of that swamp.
24:59You got out in five.
25:03The more we talk,
25:04the more she tells me
25:05everything about that world.
25:07We went through the same thing,
25:09abandoned by our parents' kids,
25:11used and dumped
25:12by our boyfriends.
25:13And because we were so desperate
25:15to be loved,
25:16we fell into that world.
25:17But what exactly is that place?
25:19How did we get there?
25:23The Mythos Realm.
25:24It's a world our guardian spirit created.
25:27Out of obsession.
25:30We're back in our world now.
25:32But as long as the connection
25:33isn't completely broken,
25:35we're back in our world now.
25:37But as long as the...
25:45Then what do we have to do?
25:46How do we break it for good?
25:52I'm sorry, Maeve.
25:53I don't know.
25:54My guardian spirit warned me once.
25:57That world never fully disappears.
26:00If the people in there
26:01are desperate for us to come back,
26:02that obsession turns into a curse.
26:04It haunts us forever.
26:06I don't believe that, Sandy.
26:07There has to be another way.
26:09The next few days,
26:10I drag my sister everywhere.
26:11We find other people
26:12with similar stories.
26:14But every single answer,
26:15from ancient mediums
26:16to other world researchers,
26:18is the same kind of hopeless.
26:19That kind of soul-deep connection,
26:21you can't cut it.
26:22That very night,
26:23a strange white light
26:24floods my bedroom.
26:26The guardian spirit
26:27walks to my bedside.
26:30Those four men
26:31in the mytho realm
26:31still want me.
26:32Their obsession is screaming
26:33for you to go back.
26:35My chest explodes with pain.
26:38No warning.
26:39Sweat pours down my face.
26:42It feels like a thousand
26:43red-hot wires
26:44twisting inside my heart.
26:46I curl up on the floor.
26:48They're still calling me.
26:50You gotta go back
26:51to that world.
26:52No.
26:52No way.
26:53Ever since then,
26:54the nightmares won't stop.
26:55The same scene,
26:56over and over.
26:57Four men kneel
26:58before a gravestone
26:59forming a circle.
27:00Come back.
27:01Come back to us.
27:03No!
27:05Sandy rushes in
27:06and drops to her knees
27:07beside me,
27:08her hands gripping
27:09my shoulders.
27:10What's wrong?
27:11What's wrong?
27:12Is it happening again?
27:14I saw them, Sandy.
27:16Those four.
27:17They're performing
27:18a blood ritual
27:19at my grave.
27:20They're using
27:20their own blood
27:21to forge chains
27:22and drag my soul back.
27:24This is the third time
27:25this week.
27:26I'm gonna die
27:26if this keeps up.
27:27I've had enough.
27:28I sit up,
27:29staring straight
27:29into Sandy's eyes.
27:31I'd rather go back
27:32and end this
27:33than die here
27:35from the torture.
27:36Sandy grabs my hand,
27:37frantic.
27:38Then I'm going with you.
27:39I shake my head.
27:40No.
27:41It's too dangerous.
27:42That's the beast realm.
27:44That's exactly why
27:44you can't go alone.
27:46I'm your sister.
27:47I'll help you find a way
27:48to sever the bond
27:49for good.
27:52I got them
27:53from the black market.
27:54Now we can go back.
27:55Is this...
27:57a gun?
27:58In that world,
27:59each of them
28:00is basically a god.
28:02So we bring something
28:03they've never seen before.
28:04I take a deep breath,
28:06take the gun,
28:07and summon
28:08the guardian spirit.
28:09The guardian spirit
28:10appears,
28:11frowning at Sandy
28:11beside me.
28:12She's going too.
28:15She's the only family
28:16I have left.
28:17She'll be by my side,
28:19helping me.
28:21We step into the rift together.
28:24In an instant,
28:25the modern buildings
28:26crumble away,
28:27replaced by the crashing
28:28onslaught of the storm
28:30and mud.
28:30Sandy and I plummet
28:31through the air,
28:32landing hard,
28:33and end right in the arms
28:34of those four men,
28:36right in front of
28:36my own grave.
28:42Mayor!
28:43You're back!
28:44You actually came back!
28:46I knew it!
28:46The ritual worked!
28:48You're finally back!
28:49This time,
28:51I'm never letting you leave.
28:53But then,
28:54their smiles freeze.
28:55I push myself up
28:56from the mud,
28:57my expression icy.
28:58In one fluid practice motion,
29:00I raise two pistols.
29:02The four men stare
29:03at the guns in my hands,
29:04utterly paralyzed.
29:05Maeve,
29:05what is that?
29:06Why are you pointing it at us?
29:07Vulcan frowns,
29:08reaches for my arm.
29:08Stop messing around.
29:09Come home.
29:10We can talk this out.
29:10Don't move.
29:12The deer drops dead.
29:19Out of the corner of my eye,
29:20I notice Sandy standing beside me
29:22in the exact same stance,
29:24steady,
29:24calm,
29:25her barrel raised.
29:26Is that you?
29:27Cassandra?
29:30How are you alive again?
29:31You...
29:32Weren't you already dead?
29:34Cassandra?
29:35Cassandra?
29:36I hear a click
29:37right next to me.
29:38I turn my head
29:39in shock.
29:40My twin sister
29:41is pointing her gun
29:42at me.
29:43What are you doing,
29:44Sandy?
29:45Sandy,
29:46no.
29:46Cassandra
29:47lets her mask
29:48drop completely.
29:49Yeah.
29:50They're right.
29:51I'm Cassandra.
29:53Why would you do this?
29:55Maeve,
29:56you really thought
29:57I came back
29:57to save you?
29:58We grew up
29:59in the same orphanage,
30:00but we lived
30:00two completely
30:01different lives.
30:02I was born weak,
30:03so the caretakers,
30:04the foster families,
30:05they always gave me
30:05the scraps,
30:06the worst beatings,
30:07the most abuse.
30:08I got shipped
30:09from one bad foster home
30:10to another.
30:11I've been through hell,
30:12but those places
30:12taught me the golden
30:13rule of survival.
30:14Play the victim,
30:15manipulate,
30:16shift the blame,
30:17and steal the love
30:17meant for someone else.
30:18In the mythies realm,
30:19I just played
30:20the exact same game
30:21and you idiots
30:22fell for it.
30:24Hook,
30:25line,
30:26and sinky.
30:27Now,
30:27I'm gonna shoot you dead
30:28in front of these four men.
30:30You'll die in this world
30:31for good,
30:31no going back.
30:32Then I'll make
30:33these four men
30:33who abandoned me,
30:34betrayed me,
30:35and this disgusting world
30:36all disappear!
30:37In the pouring rain,
30:38the brutal truth hits me.
30:39The only family
30:40I thought I had left
30:41has hated me all along.
30:43I stand in the pouring rain,
30:45the gun dropping
30:46to my side.
30:48Sandy,
30:49you can't do this.
30:51I look her in the eyes.
30:52Don't you get it?
30:53This place is just a cage
30:54held together
30:55by the guardian spirit.
30:56You can never get out.
30:57Kill me and them?
30:58There'll be a second
30:59mythos realm,
31:00or your guardian
31:01will make a thousand
31:02more worlds
31:03to torture you.
31:05You can't escape.
31:08Cassandra's barrel wavers,
31:10just slightly.
31:11Hearing this,
31:12the four men
31:13kneeling in the mud
31:14see a way out.
31:15They look up
31:16at Cassandra
31:16with the gun.
31:18Their eyes shift,
31:19from fear
31:20to desperation
31:21to something
31:22carefully crafted
31:23to look like devotion.
31:24Cassandra.
31:25Simus crawls forward
31:27on his knees.
31:28Yes.
31:28You'll always
31:29be our love.
31:30We wronged you.
31:31We made a mistake
31:32back then.
31:33He crawls another
31:34step forward.
31:34Just help us
31:35keep Maeve here.
31:37Don't let her
31:38leave this world.
31:39We swear
31:40we'll treat you
31:41just as good
31:42as her.
31:42Yeah!
31:43You can share
31:44everything!
31:45Gems,
31:46divine titles,
31:47glory!
31:48You get a share too!
31:49The four men
31:50The four men
31:51start scrambling
31:51toward Cassandra,
31:52trying to get close.
31:54Cassandra watches
31:54the four men
31:55crawling towards her.
31:57A cold smile
31:58cuts across her face.
31:59Treat me
32:00just as well
32:01as her?
32:02Share everything
32:04with me?
32:05Yes!
32:06We'll!
32:07Silas crawls
32:08another desperate
32:09step forward,
32:10his hand reaching
32:11for her ankle.
32:12We'll give you
32:13the best of everything.
32:14Cassandra watches
32:15them creep closer.
32:17Then she turns
32:17the gun away from me
32:18toward them.
32:20Four deafening
32:20gunshots.
32:21Cassandra pulls
32:22the trigger
32:22on each one.
32:23Clean,
32:24precise,
32:25a bullet
32:25through every man.
32:26They collapse
32:27into the blood,
32:28eyes wide
32:29with disbelief.
32:30Why?
32:31Why?
32:31Their bodies
32:32twitch one last time
32:33in the mud
32:33before the gravestone.
32:35Then,
32:35ghosts still.
32:36Only Edric
32:37clings to his last breath.
32:38It was my decision
32:39to leave you behind.
32:41The other three
32:42only followed my orders,
32:43but they chose
32:44to follow.
32:45One last gunshot.
32:46The world falls silent.
32:48Nothing left
32:48but the howl
32:49of the storm.
32:50Cassandra stands
32:51moteless.
32:52Faint smoke drifts
32:53from the two
32:53downward-pointing barrels.
32:55Her arms drop slowly.
32:56Her shoulders cave inward.
32:58Cassandra turns around.
32:59The two guns
33:00fall to the ground.
33:01She looks at me
33:02like she's already dead.
33:03Kill me,
33:04Maiev.
33:05Pull the trigger.
33:07Shoot me.
33:08Then go back
33:09to our world
33:09and live your life.
33:10I stare at Cassandra.
33:12No,
33:12I won't!
33:13I won't!
33:14Sandy,
33:15why does it have
33:15to end like this?
33:16I used you
33:17from the very first day.
33:19I know.
33:20I lied to you.
33:22All the care was fake.
33:23I don't care.
33:25Maiev...
33:26I won't kill you.
33:27In my heart,
33:28you've always been
33:28my sister, Sandy.
33:29But I did use you.
33:31I did want you dead.
33:33I don't deserve
33:33to be your sister.
33:35Sandy shakes her head,
33:36lowers it.
33:37A tired smile.
33:39And truth is,
33:41I'm exhausted.
33:42There's nothing left
33:43for me to do.
33:44I wasn't happy
33:45back in our world either,
33:46just getting passed around,
33:48tortured by those
33:48garbage foster families.
33:50And you know what?
33:51The love for men
33:52in this world,
33:53it's the same as the love
33:55from those foster families.
33:56Fake,
33:58disgusting,
33:59makes me sick.
34:01Sandy crouches down
34:02and picks up a gun again.
34:03This time,
34:04she turns the barrel around
34:05and presses it
34:06under her own chin.
34:07Sandy's finger
34:08rests on the trigger.
34:09I lunge forward
34:10and grab Sandy's wrist,
34:12twisting the barrel downward.
34:14The gun goes off,
34:15but neither of us is hit.
34:17The bullet strikes Silas,
34:19a few steps away,
34:20not quite dead yet.
34:21His hand was only inches
34:23from the gun on the ground.
34:24This time,
34:25his body goes completely still.
34:26Why are you keeping me alive?
34:28Sandy screams at me.
34:29You're just sending me back
34:31to be tortured
34:31by those bastards.
34:32What's the point
34:33of any of this?
34:35Sandy is stronger
34:35than I thought.
34:36The barrel swings back
34:38towards her.
34:39I throw my whole weight
34:40on top of her.
34:41Don't do something stupid!
34:42I clamp down on her hands,
34:44pinning them.
34:45Come back with me.
34:46I'll get you out of that
34:47hellhole foster home.
34:48You can start over.
34:48No,
34:49I'm not going back.
34:50I hate that world.
34:51And I hate this one too.
34:53Sandy's crying,
34:54still fighting
34:55to turn the gun.
34:57My brain races.
34:58And then,
34:59a crazy,
35:00brilliant plan
35:00clicks into place.
35:01If you don't want
35:02to go back,
35:03and you don't want
35:04to die,
35:05then stay.
35:06She stares at me.
35:08Stop struggling.
35:09Stay here and do what?
35:13They're dead!
35:14All four rulers
35:16of this world
35:17are dead!
35:23Don't you see it?
35:24The power is empty!
35:29You can take the place
35:30of those four useless brothers.
35:31Become the one and only
35:33sovereign of the Mythos realm.
35:34Demote the Pagos
35:35to your personal mounts.
35:37Rule the divided kingdoms.
35:38Make those four
35:39Beast Kangs hell.
35:40Every single creature
35:41in this realm
35:42kneel before you.
35:43Obey your every command.
35:48No more being
35:49someone's accessory.
35:50No more begging
35:51for anyone's love.
35:52You yourself
35:53are everything.
35:54But I...
35:55Can I really do this?
35:57You killed
35:58four kings.
36:00In this world
36:01where the strong
36:02devour the weak,
36:03the one who kills
36:04the king
36:05becomes the new king.
36:14From now on,
36:16you are the new king.
36:18The storm clouds
36:19split open.
36:20A column of light
36:21falls on the clearing
36:22before the gravestone.
36:24From all directions,
36:25Mythos beasts
36:26begin to emerge
36:27from the shadow.
36:30Sandy puts on the crown.
36:32She stands at the center
36:33of all living things.
36:34Something lights up
36:35in her eyes.
36:36A hunger
36:36for power.
36:37All of it
36:38burning.
36:39I help her become
36:39the sovereign
36:40of all beasts.
36:41Then I leave
36:42through the spirit gate.
36:43Don't be a bad queen.
36:45No promises.
36:49I open my eyes.
36:51I'm back in my room.
36:52In our world.
36:56You were right before.
36:59Only by leaving her
37:00trapped in that mythos
37:01realm in my place
37:02could I truly get free.
37:04For good.
37:06For good.
37:06No.
37:06She isn't trapped.
37:08She's the master
37:09of that world.
37:09The difference between
37:11a cage and a throne
37:12is whether the one
37:13sitting inside
37:13chose to be there.
37:15My mission is over.
37:16From this moment on,
37:18your soul belongs
37:19entirely to you.
37:22I stand in the warm light
37:23of the real world.
37:25I reach out
37:26and touch the face
37:27in the mirror.
37:27The face identical
37:28to Sandy's.
37:29And I smile.
37:30The storm clouds
37:32split open.
37:33A column of light
37:34falls on the clearing
37:35before the gravestone.
37:37From all directions,
37:38mythos beasts begin
37:39to emerge from the shadow.
37:43Sandy puts on the crown.
37:45She stands at the center
37:46of all living things.
37:47Something lights up
37:48in her eyes.
37:49A hunger for power.
37:50All of it burning.
37:52I help her become
37:52the sovereign of all beasts.
37:54Then I leave
37:55through the spirit gate.
37:56Don't be a bad queen.
37:58No promises.
38:02I open my eyes.
38:04I'm back in my room.
38:05In our world.
