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...
00:02:44M'Ganna.
00:02:46M'Ganna, 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 shall prove to me...
00:03:10But... I told them to boil it!
00:03:12Dorish vintage. Pity it turned to vinegar. Masked with heavy spice.
00:03:20Poured from the rot at the bottom of your cellar.
00:03:23Is this how House Alistair hides its decay?
00:03:26How could she possibly smell that? She knows. How could she know?
00:03:31You insolent wretch! Keep your filthy mouth!
00:03:36Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
00:03:39By 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!
00:03:55By royal decree, you will kneel and you will bleed for it!
00:03:59She is a fool. You are worse.
00:04:01Even the gods of the Underworld have yet to see me, Neil.
00:04:07Why would you?
00:04:09We shall see.
00:04:12Gods, take her!
00:04:17And break her legs.
00:04:20Do it.
00:04:25Seize her!
00:04:26Now!
00:04:38Oh, brother.
00:04:41Stop!
00:04:43Stop this at once!
00:04:45Fools!
00:04:49Morgana, they know nothing.
00:04:52They acted out of turn.
00:04:54Spare them.
00:04:56I beg of you.
00:04:57Alistair, father!
00:04:59Both of you, you blind, arrogant fools.
00:05:03She chose restraint, or you would already be ashes upon this floor.
00:05:08On your knees, beg 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.
00:05:19I will rule this realm.
00:05:22I am a queen.
00:05:24She 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!
00:05:59Get out of my house!
00:06:01Silence your tongue!
00:06:03Morgana, please.
00:06:04How do we stop this?
00:06:06Call off the royal wedding.
00:06:09Break betrothal.
00:06:13Or...
00:06:13She dies.
00:06:23The royal escort, led by the Obsidian Guard.
00:06:27Commander 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.
00:07:04My escort is already at your gates.
00:07:07You dare defy the throne over cheap parlor tricks?
00:07:11And break the royal contract?
00:07:14Unless...
00:07:15You doubt my ability to keep her breathing.
00:07:20No, Commander.
00:07:21Your 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?
00:16:46Keep that thing away!
00:16:48She's bewitched!
00:16:54The crown is ours, father.
00:17:11Edmund 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.
00:18:14Please...
00:18:15Wait!
00:18:17It's impossible!
00:18:18Edmund, tell me you didn't.

00:26:18Careful now
00:26:19Very careful
00:26:21Commander Ashworth
00:26:22Your grace
00:26:23If she suffers even a scratch
00:26:25I swear to god
00:26:26I will hang every last member
00:26:27Of your retted house
00:26:28Do I make myself clear
00:26:30Crystal 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
00:26:52That I had your heart
00:26:54What the hell does that mean
00:26:56What 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
00:27:14Sixty 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 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
00:27:38Please 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
00:27:52A handful of dirty coppers
00:27:54And you expect the master's healing
00:27:56For that
00:27:56Get 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?
00:28:18How 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
00:28:26A 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
00:28:37Beg 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
00:28:52Most 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 is kept safe by my eldest Marin
00:29:14She's been in seclusion at 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 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
00:30:02She 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's shard was hers by birthright
00:30:15With its power she 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?
00:30:45You 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 honoured guest
00:31:00Even Lord Ashworth had to apologise to her
00:31:03Master Cedric serves her
00:31:04People are whispering
00:31:07She 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 favourite
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
00:31:45Healers 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
00:31:58She is Master Cedric's guest
00:32:03Know your place
00:32:04Without Ashfield Charity
00:32:07A useless old crone
00:32:08Would be rotting in the gutter
00:32:12Pathetic
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?
00:32:38Guards, help us
00:32:40Get 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 apologise to you at once
00:32:55What are you waiting for?
00:32:56Apologise, now
00:32:57Are 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
00:33:17Silence
00:33:18Just be grateful
00:33:19Every 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, have mercy
00:33:39Your mercy is boundless, my lady
00:33:41I will discipline the girl at once
00:33:44Come, 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
00:34:13Her devotion to you is genuine
00:34:15It is
00:34:17She 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 and fresh bread
00:34:31With her
00:34:33I almost remember what having a sister felt like
00:34:35If that is true
00:34:36You should show her more grace while 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 realise 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
00:34:58Patience, 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
00:35:31I 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
00:35:43I'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
00:36:20Lady 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
00:36:34Lies
00:36:35That is a lie
00:36:36Your Majesty
00:36:40I can save the Empress
00:36:43Morgana
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
00:36:51You're nothing but a fraudulent witch
00:36:54Selina
00:36:54This 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
00:37:15I want your head
00:37:16Severed from your neck
00:37:18Your Grace
00:37:19Madness
00:37:20This is absolute madness
00:37:21Gods
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 Hartman's 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
00:37:59If 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
00:38:52Water
00:38:53Please
00:39:00Mother
00:39:01Mother
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
00:39:55This is the inner sanctum
00:39:56Only the bloodline
00:39:58Only the Hartman 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 bore this mark
00:40:21Maren
00:40:23Maren
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
00:40:36It trades your years for theirs
00:40:39A simple fever costs you a month
00:40:42A fatal wound
00:40:45Strips the youth right off your bones
00:40:49Sick Empress was already dead
00:40:50Her time was up
00:40:52Give her every hour you have left
00:40:55It won't buy her a single day
00:40:57Then what about Maren?
00:40:59Explain Maren
00:41:00She bore the shard for thirty 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
00:41:14My skin, my life
00:41:17Why just me?
00:41:19You said she was perfect
00:41:22Cedric
00:41:22You believe she hid from you for ten years
00:41:25It never crossed your mind
00:41:27That 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
00:41:40Every 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
00:42:04It'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
00:42:16It 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!
00:42:32Let me go!
00:42:33Maren!
00:42:34I couldn't let you see a monster
00:42:37No
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 alright now
00:43:05Cedric
00:43:06Tomorrow is your name day
00:43:08I haven't made your broth yet
00:43:10Maren please
00:43:11Just rest
00:43:13You made it for me every year
00:43:15My whole life
00:43:16Tomorrow
00:43:17Tomorrow
00:43:18I'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
00:43:32He used the heartmen's 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
00:43:41She 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
00:43:55I have her back
00:43:57Whatever it costs you
00:43:58I swear on my blade
00:44:00I 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 going to 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!
00:44:28No, 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!
00:44:58You 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
00:45:09To a legion
00:45:11I'm not going anywhere
00:45:15I'm here
00:45:16Right here
00:45:17I've got you
00:45:22I've got you
00:45:23Lord Ashworth
00:45:25She 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
00:45:36Healed strangers
00:45:38Never once asked for anything in return
00:45:41Even when it broke her
00:45:44Even when it cost her
00:45:45Her 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 from 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
00:47:37A hidden life
00:47:38There is no one!
00:47:39You are lying!
00:47:41The 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!
00:48:28He 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
00:48:49She died a ruined servant under your roof
00:48:51And 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
00:49:00Who could look at that face and not be sickened?
00:49:04You are no blood of mine
00:49:06You are nothing to me
00:49:07Is 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
00:49:26A 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
00:50:04Very well
00:50:31No
00:50:31Get off me
00:50:33I am the lord of this
00:50:37No
00:50:38No
00:50:39No
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
00:51:20You came back
00:51:28Remember your oath
00:51:42The Hartman Shard
00:51:43It's time it returned to you
00:51:45You took another piece of your power
00:51:47Straight into yourself
00:51:49Will you absorb this one too?
00:51:57You took another piece of your power
00:51:59You took another piece of your power
00:52:11You took another piece of your power
00:52:11You took another piece of your power
00:52:11You took another piece of your power
00:52:11You took another piece of your power
00:52:11You took another piece of your power
00:52:12You took another piece of your power
00:52:12You took another piece of your power
00:52:13You took another piece of your power
00:52:15You took another piece of your power
00:52:19You took another piece of your power
00:52:21Please! Help us! Have mercy!
00:52:28You're breathing. I watched you stop. I thought you were gone.
00:52:33You're shaking. Your birthday is soon. I still owe you bread and broth.
00:52:39I'll make it myself. Just don't close your eyes again. Promise me that.
00:52:45Her face still carries what the years cost her, but the 30 years Aldric took from her have been stripped
00:52:51from his bones.
00:52:52They're hers now. Her hand is healed. The debt is paid.
00:52:57She will never serve in the dark again. She lives. The transaction is complete.
00:53:06Oracle, you didn't owe us this. I will carry this mercy until my last breath.
00:53:17You gave my sister back her life. My life is no longer my own. It belongs to you.
00:53:24Every breath I draw belongs to your cause. I am your shield. Your blade. Point me at your enemies.
00:53:30Wherever you walk, I walk with you. Until my blood runs cold.
00:53:38Talk to me. Did the exorcism drain you? Are you hurt?
00:53:43I am not hurt. When I pulled the Hartman's 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. A pressure in my chest.
00:53:56You have a rule. You reclaim a piece of your power. You owe the bloodline one truth.
00:54:01One ember. One question.
00:54:04Maren gave her whole youth to keep me alive. She never got to ask her question.
00:54:10Maren.
00:54:11So I'll ask it for her. Look into your prophecy, Morgana.
00:54:15Did my sister's sacrifice mean anything? Tell me.
00:54:20Your sister asked what waits for you in the north. I didn't lie to her. So I'll tell you exactly
00:54:25what I saw.
00:54:26There is a line drawn across your fate. A terminal point.
00:54:30If you follow me to Ironwall, if you walk into Ravencrest at my side, you will stand before someone and
00:54:36bleed until there is nothing left.
00:54:39And you will die. That is the end of it.
00:54:42In front of who? Who do I bleed for?
00:54:46Me.
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. It doesn't matter.
00:55:00You are ordered to stay behind.
00:55:02I walk into Ironwall alone. I 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. I 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, the moment the sun sets, the dead walk.
00:55:58Vesta fears the undead soldiers, breaching the walls, slaughtering 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 before 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.
00:57:35Good!
00:57:36A real man!
00:57:38Bring me my steel!
00:57:49Hold the gate!
00:57:50I am Cedric Ashworth, Commander of the Obsidian Guards.
00:57:54Hold the gates!
00:57:55Guards!
00:57:56They'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!
00:58:22Ash 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.
00:58:56My 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.
00:59:19Morgana.
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.
00:59:33Ah!
00:59:34Ah!
00:59:34Ah!
00:59:35Ah!
00:59:35Ah!
00:59:36Ah!
00:59:37Ah!
00:59:37Ah!
00:59:39Ah!
00:59:50He's hurt!
00:59:51He will not die.
00:59:53Ah!
00:59:56Playing with time!
01:00:02Ah!
01:00:04Ah!
01:00:05Ah!
01:00:06Ah!
01:00:07Ah!
01:00:08Ah!
01:00:09Ah!
01:00:09Ah!
01:00:09Ah!
01:00:14Well fought.
01:00:15Your form is decent, but you fight like you fear death, always leaving room to retreat.
01:00:22Remember, a real enemy won't give you quarter.
01:00:26The only way to outlive them is to care less about dying.
01:00:30Mother!
01:00:31Mother!
01:00:35There's my little bird.
01:00:37You promised me we'd practice archery today.
01:00:41I know.
01:00:42Go grab your bow.
01:00:43I'm coming.
01:00:44I'm coming.
01:00:44Okay!
01:00:48When you have something you can't leave behind, then teach me to fight.
01:00:52Tomorrow, I will grant you an audience with a patriarch.
01:00:58You see, I am still breathing.
01:01:00If you had truly defied my vision, now that would be interesting.
01:01:09Two years ago, at the Blood Water Siege, Vesta'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, left 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?
01:01:36Whatever 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...
01:02:16Gods.
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.
01:02:34It'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.
01:03:47This 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.
01:04:04He 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.
01:04:19What kind of nightmare could be powerful enough to breed an entire army of corpses?
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.
01:05:11If the ward fails, if the dead breach the line, or if you are overrun, do 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.
01:05:44One who chased my shadow, always begging for stories.
01:05:49Now, reduced to stone.
01:05:55Veil left.
01:05:57Fleshbind.
01:05:59Awaken.
01:06:02Thorn.
01:06:05Ashworth!
01:06:06Her magic broke.
01:06:07She's bleeding.
01:06:19Shit.
01:06:32Finn, 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, slaughtered your own brothers, they bled Frostbear dry, and you sold us out to the monsters?
01:06:54Sold us out? Monsters? Better 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.
01:07:03But because they got different shards, some get to rule the capital, some get the gold.
01:07:07And what did the rain creeps get?
01:07:08Three generations rotting in this frozen wasteland.
01:07:11Bleeding out in the ice.
01:07:12Just another name on a tombstone, waiting to be wiped out.
01:07:17I won't let it end like this.
01:07:19I'm going to tear Frostfire down, break 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?
01:07:58I'm going to let it end like this.
01:08:08Yes.
01:08:10I remember the vow.
01:08:13I gave you my word.
01:08:16To 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.
01:08:50You have bled enough.

01:12:50Take back what is yours
01:13:08Morgana
01:13:10I make no grand claims
01:13:12But I swear
01:13:14I will help you take it all back
01:13:33Monster
01:13:35Monster, you godless monster
01:13:37Monster
01:13:50This world is sick
01:13:58Finn, why 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
01:14:11And 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
01:14:22And 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
01:14:38The 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
01:15:19So the children here
01:15:21So my own daughter
01:15:22Can 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
01:15:55No 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
01:16:20I've commanded the vanguard for years
01:16:23I've faced death more times than I can count
01:16:26But I have never lost
01:16:29And I will not lose this time either
01:16:47Why the Frostfire?
01:16:48Why Thorn Ravencrest?
01:16:51My youngest student
01:16:52Still breathes
01:16:54I need to see him
01:16:56And the Ravencrest piece of the crown
01:16:58What is it exactly?
01:17:00A drop of my own blood
01:17:01The Undying Spark
01:17:02Your blood?
01:17:04No wonder your skin is like ice
01:17:06Morgana
01:17:07How did you lose your eyes?
01:17:09Sixty winters ago
01:17:10The realm was drowning in its own blood
01:17:15To buy them a dawn
01:17:17I offered my own flesh and soul
01:17:19I stripped everything away
01:17:22I stripped everything away
01:17:23Bound it to the obsidian
01:17:24Twelve fragments
01:17:25Given to twelve disciples
01:17:27To save this world
01:17:29To save this world
01:17:30Sixty years have passed
01:17:31My students took that power
01:17:34And forged twelve great bloodlines
01:17:37And now
01:17:38There is peace
01:17:40Now I take back what is mine
01:17:44Morgana
01:17:44What else are you missing?
01:17:46You never change your boots
01:17:47I've never seen you eat
01:17:49Or sleep for that matter
01:17:51Your 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
01:18:14No matter what it takes
01:18:16No matter the cost
01:18:23That shard of the crown
01:18:25Was torn from my own veins
01:18:29A single drop of my heart's blood
01:18:34I never thought you would waste
01:18:36Such a priceless piece of yourself on me
01:18:38I never thought I'd even be alive
01:18:40My lady
01:18:42You always said your prophecies are absolute
01:18:44Never wrong
01:18:45To give me the shard
01:18:46To force me to live
01:18:47Isn't this
01:18:48Defying the gods themselves?
01:18:50Taking the heart back
01:18:51Was a mistake
01:18:59Morgana
01:19:24My lady
01:19:25Forgive me
01:19:26Assassins
01:19:43This
01:19:44Southern blood magic
01:19:47They say one puppet butchers
01:19:48Ten men
01:19:49And I tore them apart
01:19:50Before they could even blink
01:19:51I 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
01:20:00To your fading heart
01:20:01Tethered your life to mine
01:20:02With my power in your veins
01:20:04No 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
01:20:15You 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
01:20:28They are nothing like you
01:20:32You
01:20:34You are my masterpiece
01:20:49Farewell
01:20:50Be wary
01:20:52Without the primordial crown's shard
01:20:55The horde will show no mercy
01:20:57I know the risks
01:20:59But I command this gate
01:21:00Shard or no shard
01:21:02The raven crests will hold this line
01:21:05To the last breath
01:21:10The horde is at our walls
01:21:11I ride with the vanguard
01:21:13Godspeed
01:21:27Why didn't you tell her
01:21:28About the warding spikes you planted?
01:21:31The wards are nothing
01:21:32Compared to the primordial blood
01:21:34Still boiling in their veins
01:21:36They will survive
01:21:40What's happening?
01:21:42Are you alright?
01:21:42I feel a disturbance
01:21:44A forbading sensation
01:21:46I have looked ahead
01:21:47I 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
01:22:12Where to next?
01:22:14South
01:22:15To the Scarlet Lands
01:22:17I want to meet the fool
01:22:18Who thought they could kill me
01:22:22My lady, please
01:22:23Rest inside
01:22:24I will bring it to you myself
01:22:27It is exactly where you left it, my lady
01:22:30Untouched
01:22:31You give it up so easily
01:22:33It was never mine to keep
01:22:34You know what it built
01:22:36Your entire dynasty
01:22:39Hundreds years of power
01:22:40Titles
01:22:41The crown's favor
01:22:42The gift of seeing into men's hearts
01:22:45Without it
01:22:46Without it, you are nothing but a blind man stumbling in the dark
01:22:49The blood covenant my grandfather sworn
01:22:51Binds every generation after him
01:22:53House Alistair owes you everything it has
01:22:56And everything it is
01:22:57You have my word
01:22:59I will honor the pact
01:23:01Willingly
01:23:04The old man bred well
01:23:06An obedient heir
01:23:14Since when does my father kneel for peasants?
01:23:18The iris ember, my lady
01:23:21A covenant is a trade
01:23:23I take back what is mine
01:23:25And I leave you one truth
01:23:28The old laws demand it
01:23:30Ask your question
01:23:32My lady
01:23:34In a few days, Isabella weds the crown prince
01:23:37I need to
01:23:39I need to know what waits for her
01:23:41You want to know if she lives
01:23:44Without my ember watching over her
01:23:46What her crown will cost
01:23:48Yes
01:23:48Please
01:23:49Tell me her fate
01:23:52Bring the girl to me
01:23:54Mother
01:23:55The night before my royal wedding
01:23:57Some blind woman in funeral rags
01:23:59Walks into our home
01:24:01And father knelt for her
01:24:04Tell me the truth
01:24:05Is she one of his lowborn mistresses
01:24:08Crawling here to beg for coin?
01:24:10If we allow that woman to stand in our halls
01:24:14Without putting her on her knees
01:24:16She will believe
01:24:17She belongs here
01:24:19And we cannot have that
01:24:21Then let's remind her
01:24:23How this house
01:24:24Treats beggars
01:24:26I need to know if she lives
01:24:26I need to know if she lives
01:24:26I need to know if she lives
01:24:26I need to know if she lives
01:24:29I need to know if she lives
01:24:29I need to know if she lives
01:24:29I need to know if she lives
