Short filmTranscript
00:00:08A mortal dares stand in the way of the Black Marsh.
00:00:15In the name of Olympus, face divine wrath!
00:00:21That thunder, Zeus, you were reborn as a mortal?
00:00:26Kneel before the power of Olympus.
00:00:31You can't save them!
00:00:33The Wendog has already smelled royal blood.
00:00:37Tonight the curse will devour Orion's soul.
00:00:40The royal court will belong to him.
00:00:45That fight drained too much power.
00:00:47I can't force the thunder again anytime soon.
00:00:50Lord Ethan, your former master left this marriage block for you.
00:00:54Lady Seraphina of the Silver Deer Clan can help you reach the heart of Northern Power.
00:00:59I just came back alive from the Black Marsh, and now you bring me a marriage pact?
00:01:03Get to the point.
00:01:04What is the Wendigo?
00:01:05The Wendigo devours souls, corrupts the royal bloodline, and uses a royal body to return.
00:01:20The royal court gave you ten years.
00:01:23Herbs, offerings, gold, hunting grounds.
00:01:26I gave you everything you asked for.
00:01:28And after all this time, you still don't even know what's wrong with my father.
00:01:31Princess Alara, please show mercy.
00:01:33King Orion's condition is unlike anything we've ever seen.
00:01:36There is nothing we can do.
00:01:38Failing to cure him is not the crime.
00:01:41Lying to this court is.
00:01:43Orin, send the royal blood oath decree to the forest, the Lake Clans, the Wastelands, and the Western Tribes.
00:01:49As you command.
00:01:51Whoever saves my father will be bound to me by a royal marriage pact.
00:01:54The royal court's granaries, the northern hunting grounds, the salt mines, and three fur trade routes will all be his.
00:02:00Princess Alara, once that decree goes out, every clan will come for you.
00:02:04Then let them come.
00:02:06If my father wakes, I will stake the entire royal court on it.
00:02:10The Black Marsh spirit is dead, but the curse remains.
00:02:13Someone here brought the Wendigo in.
00:02:16Orin, whatever it takes, find someone who can save my father.
00:02:20Princess Lyra, the blood oath decree has already gone out.
00:02:24Hold on.
00:02:27Stranger, who are you?
00:02:29Ethan, a forest healer.
00:02:32The royal court needs someone who can save the king, not a wandering healer selling tricks at the gate.
00:02:37Ten years ago, your father collapsed once at the Black Marsh border.
00:02:43Since then, every new moon and full moon, he falls into a coma.
00:02:47Tonight, once the moon rises, the Wendog curse will eat through his life force.
00:02:51How do you know that?
00:02:53Because this is not an illness.
00:02:54It is the Wendog's curse.
00:02:58One step too late, and the man you're trying to save won't be a king.
00:03:03He'll be a corpse.
00:03:09The king has no wound on his body, but his soul is being eaten piece by piece.
00:03:17For ten years, the royal court has called healers from every land, and none of them dared make that claim.
00:03:23Why should we believe a stranger with a bag of herbs?
00:03:26Because I just came back from the Black Marsh.
00:03:29These coins are enough to get you out of the borderlands.
00:03:32If you're just trying to survive, go now, and I'll pretend we never met.
00:03:38You're kind, but kindness won't save you.
00:03:41What is that supposed to mean?
00:03:42Every month, the pain comes back.
00:03:44Around the full moon, it burns so badly you can barely breathe.
00:03:48Princess?
00:03:49You and your father carry the same Black Marsh curse.
00:03:51You're young, so you can still endure it.
00:03:53King Oron won't last past her moonrise.
00:03:55Can you really save him?
00:03:56Yes.
00:03:59Fine.
00:04:00I'll take you in.
00:04:01If you remember this, you lie to me, my sister will make sure you die inside the royal court.
00:04:06Lead the way.
00:04:11Father, when you led the northern clans into the Black Marsh,
00:04:15everyone lowered their heads at the sound of Asher's war horn.
00:04:18Now every enemy is watching the royal court.
00:04:21If you don't wake up, I'll have no choice but to offer myself through the royal blood oath decree.
00:04:26I'm not afraid of marrying a stranger.
00:04:28I'm afraid you'll never wake up.
00:04:37Princess Alara, we can cure King Orion.
00:04:45Princess Alara, don't lose hope.
00:04:47I can save King Orion.
00:04:51I am Salona, High Healer of Bonecraft.
00:04:54At your service, Princess Alara.
00:04:56This is Meera, a master of sacred runes, and Rowan, a spirit curse healer.
00:05:02Welcome, healers.
00:05:04We came in responses to the royal blood oath decree.
00:05:08Princess Alara, if we wake King Orion, will we truly receive the granaries,
00:05:12the northern hunting grounds, the salt mines, and the fur trade routes?
00:05:16I do not break my word.
00:05:18Then you have nothing to fear, Princess.
00:05:20With me here, the King will wake.
00:05:23Then I place my father's life in your hands.
00:05:26I've heard Meera never needs more than three runes.
00:05:29Let's see if that legend holds.
00:05:31The more runes I can bear, the stronger the healing I can channel.
00:05:35An ordinary patient needs one.
00:05:37A gravely wounded royal needs three at most.
00:05:40The runes show the King's body is unharmed.
00:05:45But his life force is almost gone.
00:05:48I have practiced healing for decades.
00:05:50I've never seen a condition like this.
00:05:53Meera, I gave you the first chance, and you wasted it.
00:05:57Step aside.
00:05:59Three breaths.
00:06:00That is all I need to wake the King.
00:06:02Then please begin.
00:06:03My father's life depends on you.
00:06:09His breathing is steady, but the life inside him is nearly gone.
00:06:15Even my bone healing arts cannot wake him.
00:06:20Forgive me, Princess Alara.
00:06:22Even the high healer of bonecraft can do nothing?
00:06:24Princess Alara, don't lose hope yet.
00:06:27They may not see the answer.
00:06:31I still can.
00:06:37I can bring the King back from the edge of death.
00:06:41This is my clan's strongest curse pearl.
00:06:43If King Orion has even one breath left, I can pull him back.
00:06:53Stop.
00:06:59You dare interrupt the King's healer?
00:07:01Do you have any idea where you are?
00:07:04Sister, his name is Ethan.
00:07:06He said he can cure father.
00:07:08So I brought him in to try.
00:07:10This is not a village market.
00:07:12A wandering healer has no place near the King's bed.
00:07:15A forest healer in a ragged cloak thinks he can decide King Orion's faith?
00:07:19Sister, I didn't believe him at first either.
00:07:21But the moment he saw me, he knew about the pain I've been hiding.
00:07:24He isn't an ordinary healer.
00:07:26He understands healing arts, and he can see curse energy.
00:07:30Father won't survive until nightfall.
00:07:31I can't just stand here and wait for the ancestors to take him.
00:07:35Princess Alara, three healers from the sacred altar are standing right here.
00:07:38Bringing in an outsider is not seeking help.
00:07:41It is is an insult.
00:07:42He doesn't even carry a complete sacred mark.
00:07:45A man like that can't summon sacred light.
00:07:47You checked his breathing.
00:07:50But you missed the real curse.
00:07:52Your light can heal flesh.
00:07:53It can't reach a soul that has already been hollowed out.
00:07:59The royal court would rather trust a stranger from the forest.
00:08:03Then we have no reason to accept this royal blood oak decree.
00:08:05Rowan, please stay!
00:08:07Your name has reached the west bank, and even the north.
00:08:11I believe you can wake my father.
00:08:13As for him...
00:08:15Remove this man from the King's chamber.
00:08:18Guards!
00:08:19Take him out of the royal court!
00:08:23Sister!
00:08:24They can't hurt me.
00:08:26If Princess Alara refuses to listen, I'll leave.
00:08:29But after I'm gone, King Orion will not survive tonight's moonrise.
00:08:35When that happens, not even the gods above will be able to pull his soul back!
00:08:39Trying to scare us with old ancestor tales now?
00:08:42I doubt you can even say what illness King Orion has.
00:08:46Of course I can't.
00:08:47Because King Orion is not sick at all.
00:08:53King Orion has been unconscious on that bed, and you claim he isn't sick?
00:08:57Lying in front of a king takes nerve.
00:08:59You're just a wandering healer trying to make your name through the royal decree.
00:09:05Ethan!
00:09:07If you can save father, prove it now.
00:09:10If my sister's oath is not enough, I am willing to join the same marriage pact with you.
00:09:15So that's it.
00:09:17You came for the marriage pact and the royal court's lands.
00:09:20With the three of us here today, we'll expose him for what he is, and show the royal court that
00:09:25healing arts are not something anyone can fake.
00:09:27I thought you simply couldn't break the curse.
00:09:30I didn't realize you couldn't even see it.
00:09:33He is under the ancient Wendigo curse.
00:09:34The Wendigo curse?
00:09:36What is that?
00:09:36An ancient evil spirit from the depths of the Black Marsh.
00:09:40It feeds on souls, fear, greed, and the blood of kings.
00:09:46At first, the cursed person sleeps, fears the cold, and dreams of black antlers.
00:09:50Then the soul is eaten away piece by piece.
00:09:53Once the soul is gone, he may never truly wake again.
00:09:56The Wendigo will wear the king's body and sit on his throne.
00:09:59Then the border royal court will fall into chaos.
00:10:02Every clan will turn on the others.
00:10:04Impossible.
00:10:05You expect the Ash Court to believe that story just because you said it?
00:10:09Princess Alara, remove him at once.
00:10:11The royal decreed and the honor of the Ash Court cannot be dragged down by some wandering fraud.
00:10:17But...
00:10:18Father's symptoms match everything he said.
00:10:23Ethan!
00:10:24Please save my father!
00:10:26Don't touch him yet.
00:10:27According to the old altar scrolls, the Wendigo curse is forbidden magic from the deepest part of the Black Marsh.
00:10:34But that curse was sealed inside the Black Marsh 50 years ago by the northern clans.
00:10:39It should not exist anymore.
00:10:40How would a forest healer know about it?
00:10:42Princess Alara, I suspect he was sent by the Black Marsh.
00:10:45He may be the one who brought this curse into the royal court.
00:10:48A fraud like him should be hanged.
00:10:50Ethan, who are you really?
00:10:52Princess Alara, trust me and I will save the king.
00:10:56Refuse me and I walk out of the royal court.
00:10:58Sister, if he were with the Black Marsh he would not have stopped Rowan's curse pearl.
00:11:02The three healers have no answer.
00:11:04Right now he is our only chance.
00:11:07If Princess Alara trusts a fraud, the royal court may pay the price for it.
00:11:11But in ten years no one has ever named my father's symptoms this clearly.
00:11:17Ethan, I'll give you one chance.
00:11:21For Princess Lyra's trust, I will save King Orion.
00:11:28This room is not safe for removing the curse.
00:11:30If you want him saved, Princess Alara must come with me to the royal bedroom.
00:11:36I knew it!
00:11:37You were never here to save the king.
00:11:39You had your eyes on the princess from the start.
00:11:42I have trained at the sacred altar for years.
00:11:44I have never heard of a cure that must be performed away from everyone else.
00:11:48Princess Alara, he's using the king's illness as an excuse to get close to you.
00:11:51To draw the wendigo out, I need someone from his bloodline.
00:11:54When royal blood is near, the curse will leave King Orion.
00:11:57If anyone interferes, the curse will panic and panic, finish consuming what's left of the king's soul.
00:12:02Absurd!
00:12:06You lying fraud!
00:12:07I'll expose you right now!
00:12:12Not bad for curse work.
00:12:14Too bad you're not strong enough.
00:12:16Ethan, I'm father's daughter too.
00:12:18Can my bloodline draw the curse out?
00:12:20Yes.
00:12:21Sister, let me go.
00:12:22As long as father wakes, I'll accept any punishment, even if I'm dragged through the streets in chains.
00:12:27You're not going.
00:12:29Sister!
00:12:30I am your older sister, and I am the one holding this court together.
00:12:33It should be me.
00:12:34Oryn, take six ironclad knights and guard the door.
00:12:38If anything happens to me, seize Ethan immediately.
00:12:40As you command.
00:12:41If I don't come out, you take control of Ash Royal Court.
00:12:44Put your hands where they don't belong and I'll kill you before I go to my father.
00:12:47I only save lives.
00:12:49Take the king to the royal bedroom.
00:12:51We begin before moonrise.
00:12:52Until the ritual is over, no one enters.
00:12:57If that door opens, the curse will be startled. King Orion will die.
00:13:02What do I do?
00:13:05Take off your robe.
00:13:06What?
00:13:09Say that again.
00:13:10Remove the outer robe.
00:13:13Unfasten the silver bone belt.
00:13:16Ethan, I gave you a chance to save the king, not a chance to insult my family.
00:13:23The Wendigo follows royal blood.
00:13:26That is how we draw it out.
00:13:28The more you are covered, the harder it is for the curse to sense your bloodline.
00:13:33It won't come out.
00:13:34Every word you say had better be true.
00:13:48See that?
00:13:52Is that enough?
00:13:54Not yet.
00:13:55Move closer to the fire.
00:14:02It senses you.
00:14:05Then let it come out.
00:14:07My body still can't withstand the thunder.
00:14:10But divine light shall be enough.
00:14:12If it hurts, make a sound.
00:14:16Save the advice.
00:14:17Blood of the crown, draw it out.
00:14:22Soul flame, hold it here.
00:14:25It's looking at me.
00:14:26Don't let it reach your eyes.
00:14:29Leave her!
00:14:31Ethan!
00:14:33Hurry!
00:14:35Come out!
00:14:45Princess Lyra, Princess Alara is locked inside the royal bedroom with an outsider.
00:14:50Are you truly not worried?
00:14:53My sister gave her order.
00:14:55Until the ritual ends, no one enters.
00:14:58Princess Alara is the current ruler of the royal court.
00:15:01If anything happens to her, Ash royal court will fall apart.
00:15:04Princess Lyra, aren't you afraid he'll take advantage of your sister?
00:15:08My sister trusts him.
00:15:10So do I.
00:15:15Sister!
00:15:16Princess Lyra, did you hear that?
00:15:17What?
00:15:18That outsider may be hurting Princess Alara.
00:15:20The royal family can still save its honor.
00:15:23Stop him now before it is too late.
00:15:25If you keep waiting, the entire Ash royal court will regret it.
00:15:29Until the ritual is over, no one enters.
00:15:33My sister said no one enters before the ritual ends.
00:15:35I trust my sister.
00:15:37No one can force her into anything.
00:15:41Sister?
00:15:41You heard that.
00:15:42That does not sound like healing.
00:15:45The High Princess's bedchamber is no place for a filthy peasant to satisfy his sick desires.
00:15:52If you don't go in now, it will be too late.
00:15:56Don't let it reach your eyes!
00:15:59Eyes?
00:16:00Princess Lyra, Princess Alara may already be in danger.
00:16:04Without Princess Alarsa's order, the door stays closed.
00:16:09If I don't come out, you take control of Ash royal court.
00:16:14Oren.
00:16:14Princess Lyra.
00:16:16Open the door.
00:16:17But Princess Alara said...
00:16:18I am in command of the Ash court now.
00:16:22Open it.
00:16:27Stand back!
00:16:37Stand back!
00:16:41Stand back!
00:16:42Sister!
00:16:44Careful!
00:16:44Come out!
00:16:48Sorry.
00:16:49Look at me.
00:16:50Don't look at it.
00:16:58Now!
00:17:01Sister!
00:17:03Ethan.
00:17:03Let go of the Princess.
00:17:05Now!
00:17:10Take your hands off me!
00:17:13The ancient Wendigo curse has truly returned.
00:17:17The Black Marsh seal could not have broken on its own.
00:17:19Someone inside the royal court released the Wendau.
00:17:24Sister, are you hurt?
00:17:26Who told you to come in?
00:17:28I hurt.
00:17:29Princess Alara, we all saw what happened.
00:17:31That outsider removed your robe and put his hands on you.
00:17:34Sister, did he really save you?
00:17:36The curse was going for my eyes.
00:17:38He saved me.
00:17:41The curse is gone.
00:17:43Why has my father not woken up?
00:17:45His soul needs time to return.
00:17:47When the Cedar Fire dies down for the third time, he'll wake.
00:17:50Easy to say.
00:17:51And if he doesn't wake?
00:17:52If he doesn't wake,
00:17:54the Wendrig will rip this entire court apart and destroy all of us.
00:17:59This matter is finished.
00:18:01This matter is finished.
00:18:02Finished?
00:18:02I still have an old marriage pact to settle.
00:18:05Marriage contract?
00:18:06You crossed a line with Princess Alara, and now you think you can leave?
00:18:10Until the King wakes, you are not taking one step out of here.
00:18:13Before King Aryan wakes, you'd better stay.
00:18:16Otherwise, I can't promise you'll leave this room alive.
00:18:18If I want to leave, no one here can stop me.
00:18:22Stop.
00:18:24Stop.
00:18:27Father!
00:18:28Father is awake!
00:18:31Who is this?
00:18:33You weren't sick.
00:18:34You were under a Wendigo curse.
00:18:36A Wendog curse?
00:18:40Ethan removed the curse and saved your life.
00:18:44You're young, but your healing is extraordinary.
00:18:48Bring it in.
00:18:49This seal grants rights to the salt mines,
00:18:52and this is the Border Court's Blackstone token.
00:18:55With this token, you will be treated as an honored guest of the Crown.
00:18:59Thank you, Your Majesty.
00:19:00You saved my life, Ethan.
00:19:02Please accept this small token of gratitude.
00:19:06You are too kind, Your Majesty.
00:19:08I don't save people because of rank.
00:19:10I save them because I choose to.
00:19:12Since you have saved my father, I will honor my promise.
00:19:17I will honor the Royal Marriage Pact with you.
00:19:20Princess Alara, I appreciate your kindness,
00:19:22but I am already bound by an ancient marriage pact
00:19:25with Lady Serafina of the Silver Stag Clan.
00:19:27The appointed time is almost here.
00:19:29I should leave.
00:19:33It seems you and Ethan were not meant for each other.
00:19:36If that is so, I will not force him to stay.
00:19:38Ethan, from now on, whenever you need anything,
00:19:42the Border Court will stand with you.
00:19:44There is one thing I need your help with.
00:19:47The Border Court has power and reach.
00:19:49Help me find the one who released the Wendog curse.
00:19:52Help me put an end to that person and bring peace back to the Northern clans.
00:19:55I will.
00:19:56I swear I will find whoever did this.
00:19:59I'll take my leave.
00:20:02Your Majesty, since you are safe now, we will leave you to rest.
00:20:06The three healers have done their part.
00:20:08Prepare a generous gift for each of them.
00:20:13Father, the curse has only just been lifted.
00:20:15You should rest.
00:20:16I can investigate where the Wendog curse came from.
00:20:19Alara, in the North there has only ever been one enemy.
00:20:22The Black Raven Clan.
00:20:24In the North, only the Black Raven Clan stands as an equal to our court.
00:20:28But I never thought they would dare curse me under my own roof.
00:20:32Then it is time we settle the score.
00:20:35Wait!
00:20:36What is it?
00:20:37Ethan said he has an ancient marriage pact with Lady Serafina of the Silvestad Clan.
00:20:41But tonight, the Silvestad Clan's marriage pact is with Cassian, heir of the Black Raven Clan.
00:20:47Don't panic.
00:20:48The Black Raven Clan may have brought trouble on itself this time.
00:20:52Father, why do you say that?
00:20:53A hundred years ago, the Black Marsh curse was burned away by the thunder of the old gods.
00:20:59Few people now even know of the Wendigo curse, let alone how to break it.
00:21:02But Ethan, young as he is, saw the curse and pulled my soul back from the Black Marsh.
00:21:09He carries ancient thunder power.
00:21:11Ancient thunder?
00:21:12He really isn't an ordinary forest healer.
00:21:14Behind him there may be a god.
00:21:17If the Silvestad Clan truly holds his old marriage pact, then they have a blessing they may never deserve.
00:21:22The Silvestad Clan has grown weak over the years.
00:21:26All they know is how to bow to stronger clans.
00:21:28The Black Raven Clan controls the northern trade roads and iron mines.
00:21:32They have grown so arrogant they have forgotten the Ash Court.
00:21:35The Silvestad Clan will reject Ethan when he arrives.
00:21:38I'll go help him.
00:21:47The Silvestad Clan finally bet the nay.
00:21:50Marrying into the Black Raven Clan is Seraphina's good fortune.
00:21:52I heard she already had an old marriage pact.
00:21:54A pact from years ago.
00:21:55That won't stop the Black Raven Clan.
00:22:15The Silver Deer Chieftains are here.
00:22:21I heard Seraphina made an old marriage pact years ago.
00:22:24Then why is she entering a marriage alliance with the Black Raven Clan tonight?
00:22:28The Black Raven Clan controls the northern iron mines and trade roads.
00:22:32Who would dare refuse them?
00:22:33For a small clan, tying themselves to Black Raven is an opportunity others would kill for.
00:22:41My daughter Seraphina was indeed saved by an outsider years ago.
00:22:45And the old chief of the Silver Stare Clan did arrange an old marriage pact for her.
00:22:48But the man who swore that oath is long dead.
00:22:50As chief of the Silver Stare Clan, I will not allow anyone to use an old pact to trade on
00:22:54our name.
00:22:55The Silvestad Clan is using Black Raven to survive while abandoning an old oath.
00:22:59Everyone should look carefully at whose banner hangs here, before speaking.
00:23:03The Silver Stag Clan cannot afford Black Raven's wrath, and neither can any of you.
00:23:07If that forest haemur does not show up, the old oath can still keep what little dignity it has left.
00:23:13If he dares come, Black Raven will crush him into the mud.
00:23:18Who said they would crush me into the mud?
00:23:24Who are you?
00:23:25My name is Ethan. I have come to fulfill my marriage pact with Seraphina.
00:23:32I didn't think you would actually dare come.
00:23:34A wandering healer from the Black Marsh border really thinks he can enter a marriage pact with Seraphina?
00:23:39Even a mud-soaked nobody thinks he can look up at a silver gare now.
00:23:44But Ethan, since you came, I'll make this clear.
00:23:47Your old marriage pact with Seraphina is void. I, Aldric, declare it.
00:23:51Do you know the old Silver Stag Chief begged for this pact before the ancestral altar?
00:23:55The Silver Stag Clan is no longer what it was 16 years ago.
00:24:00Today, the Silver Stag Clan has tied itself to Black Raven.
00:24:03What are you, a wandering healer, compared to that?
00:24:06Our Seraphina is gonna marry Cassian, heir of the Black Raven Clan.
00:24:09And you, some border healer with a medicine bag, think you can cling to her with an old pact?
00:24:13Look at yourself. Mud, blood and poverty all over you.
00:24:20So the stray dog found a bigger kennel. No wonder it barks so loudly.
00:24:27Ethan, I'm warning you, don't push this too far.
00:24:31You are just holding an old pact someone handed you, trying to force your way into the Silver Stag Clan.
00:24:37The Silver Stag Clan does not want to humiliate you completely.
00:24:42Take these coins and crawl back to the Black Marsh border.
00:24:46Ethan, someone shoved that old plot into your hands.
00:24:49That does not mean Seraphina must marry you.
00:24:51The old chief who made that oath is dead.
00:24:54The Silver Stag Clan now answers to Aldric.
00:24:57You clearly don't understand.
00:24:58This pact carries a blood oath sworn before the ancestors and the old gods.
00:25:02Break it, and thunder will answer.
00:25:05The Silver Stag Clan will pay in blood.
00:25:08Thunder will answer? Really?
00:25:11Ridiculous.
00:25:12Stop hiding behind old gods and dead men.
00:25:14Tonight this pact dies, and we can afford the price.
00:25:18Does Lady Seraphina think the same?
00:25:31Yes.
00:25:36Ethan, you should not have come today.
00:25:41Lady Seraphina, you also think I came here to use the Silver Stag name?
00:25:46What else would it be?
00:25:50The Silver Stag Clan is returning to power.
00:25:52Now we are forming a marriage alliance with the Black Raven Clan.
00:25:56You came dragging out an old pact from years ago because you want to use our name to force your
00:26:01way into northern robility.
00:26:02This old marriage pact exists, yes, but it was an old oath left by the former chief.
00:26:06The man who swore it is dead.
00:26:08Now my father rules the Silver Stag Clan.
00:26:11And I have already agreed to marry Cassian, heir of the Black Raven Clan.
00:26:14He can bring the Silver Stag Clan back into northern power.
00:26:17You are nothing. You cannot give the Silver Thor Clan a future.
00:26:19I will be the Lady of Black Raven Hulk.
00:26:21And you are just a wandering healer from the Black Marsh border.
00:26:24The entire north stands between us.
00:26:26I have never seen someone make betrayal sound so dignified.
00:26:31Ethan, who do you think you are?
00:26:32You have no right to lecture the Silver Stag Clan.
00:26:35I would rather marry a dog from the stables than marry a man like you!
00:26:41You are just a border healer from the Black Marsh and you really think the gods chose you?
00:26:46And you dream of marrying my daughter?
00:26:49Wake up!
00:26:49This pact was sworn by the Silver Stag ancestors themselves.
00:26:53I did not come today to beg for your approval.
00:26:55I came to end this pact.
00:26:57Today, I withdraw from this pact.
00:26:59Once I severed it, the Silver Stag Clan will bear the consequences.
00:27:03Your banner will fall and your bloodline will suffer.
00:27:06At my daughter's wedding feast, a border healer dares curse the Silver Thor Clan?
00:27:11Guards! Drag him out!
00:27:15Your disaster is already here.
00:27:17And you are still laughing.
00:27:20Ethan, enough!
00:27:22He brought this on himself.
00:27:33Someone is causing trouble inside Black Raven Keep?
00:27:39Let's see how a border healer plans to bring disaster on the Silver Stag bloodline.
00:27:46On this land, there are nobles, vassals, and gutter-borne trash.
00:27:50The Black Raven Clan stands at the top.
00:27:53The Silver Thag Clan is noble.
00:27:55And you, a border healer from the Black Marsh, think you can step into a noble wedding feast?
00:28:01Do you even deserve it?
00:28:03Who are you?
00:28:06Cassian of the Black Raven Clan!
00:28:09Never heard of you.
00:28:11Do you have a death wish?
00:28:13Be smart. Cancel the contract and get out of Black Raven Heat.
00:28:17Otherwise, I'll skin you and hang you on the Black Raven Gate.
00:28:24A pact witnessed by Ancient Thunder is not yours to touch.
00:28:29The Divine Thunder Healer's old oath, and a border healer like you thinks you can claim it?
00:28:34Cassian, who is the Divine Thunder Healer?
00:28:39The Divine Thunder Healer is the source of ancient healing arts.
00:28:42Legend says that power came from Zeus, King of Olympus.
00:28:46They say he hides in the ruins of Olympus.
00:28:48He can bring souls back and decide life or death.
00:28:51He can also summon thunder and cleanse Black Marsh curses.
00:28:57In the North, that name is forbidden.
00:29:04Sadly, that kind of power would never fall on a border healer from the Black Marsh.
00:29:13The Divine Thunder Healer?
00:29:16Does that power really exist?
00:29:22In this contract.
00:29:24Anyone who falsely invokes the Divine Thunder Healer and offends the old gods of Olympus will suffer divine backlash.
00:29:29Even a royal bloodline can wither.
00:29:32Their banner will fall.
00:29:34If you steal Thunder's name, True Thunder will come to judge you.
00:29:37You're making it sound more dramatic than it is.
00:29:40But my healing is a little stronger than an ordinary healer's.
00:29:45I was talking about the Divine Thunder Healer.
00:29:48What does that have to do with you?
00:29:50Ethan, if you don't leave now, I really won't be able to protect you.
00:29:55Serafina, the former Silver Stag Chief, begged for this pack at the old gods' altar.
00:29:59He knelt for seven days to secure it.
00:30:01It was a lifeline for the Silver Stag Clan.
00:30:03And this is how you treat it?
00:30:05Today, I, Serafina, turn my back on this old oath.
00:30:13What can you do about it?
00:30:16I will be the one to break this pact.
00:30:23We're destroying this worthless pact today.
00:30:27What are you gonna do about it?
00:30:30Hmph.
00:30:31The pact is broken.
00:30:33Zeus' punishment begins now.
00:30:39You really believe your own act, don't you?
00:30:43You think you're Zeus, Reorn?
00:30:46Zeus' punishment?
00:30:48The Silver Stag Clan is rising with Black Raven.
00:30:51You are the one waving around a torn old pact and scamming people.
00:30:53If anyone deserves punishment, it's you.
00:30:56Please.
00:30:56You spent too much time at the Black Marsh border,
00:30:58and now you think you can call down divine punishment?
00:31:05Ethan, open your eyes and watch closely.
00:31:07From this day on, I stand under the Black Raven banner.
00:31:11No one in the North can touch me.
00:31:12Even if Zeus' punishment exists,
00:31:14what can it do to the Silver Stag Clan?
00:31:16Zeus' punishment has already begun.
00:31:20Every member of the Silver Stag Clan carries the curse.
00:31:24You're hopeless.
00:31:25The Silver Stag hunting grounds will fall.
00:31:28Your clan treasury will be emptied.
00:31:30The salt mines, mountain roads, and fur trade routes will all be lost.
00:31:38The Silver Stag Clan is not some easy target.
00:31:41Who are you?
00:31:42A border healer to threaten me with loss.
00:31:45The Silver Stag Clan could crush you without effort.
00:31:48Ethan, this is all about money, isn't it?
00:31:51There's a full bag of gold coins in here.
00:31:54Enough for you to live on for the rest of your life.
00:31:59Take the money and leave.
00:32:01Don't delay my wedding with Lady Serafina.
00:32:05Stop it.
00:32:07You've seen one corner of the world and think you own the sky.
00:32:11The Black Raven clan rules the North.
00:32:13If I want you dead,
00:32:15no one here will dare keep you alive.
00:32:18You're already at death's door,
00:32:19and you're still talking.
00:32:41Princess Alara!
00:32:44Speak.
00:32:45News from Black Raven keep.
00:32:47Cassian publicly humiliated Ethan at the wedding feast.
00:32:50Cassian?
00:32:51The Silver Stag Clan also tore up the old marriage bad in public and tried to drive Ethan out of
00:32:55the keep.
00:32:55They dared insult Ethan.
00:32:57They must have a death wish.
00:32:59To Black Raven Holt.
00:33:01Now.
00:33:03Even with death staring you in the face, you still act tough.
00:33:07Today, I'll teach you how the North works.
00:33:09Zeus.
00:33:17Zeus's punishment has begun.
00:33:21Zeus's punishment really happened.
00:33:24Could he really be Zeus reborn?
00:33:26The Silver Stag Clan offended Zeus reborn.
00:33:28They're finished, aren't they?
00:33:31Impossible!
00:33:32Zeus is the king of Olympus.
00:33:34Even Black Raven only knows his name from legend.
00:33:36How could this man possibly be Zeus?
00:33:40In front of me,
00:33:41the Black Raven clan is nothing but small men pretending to be kings.
00:33:45Ethan!
00:33:46What did you do to us?
00:33:49This is Zeus's punishment.
00:33:51You'd better start making peace with your gods.
00:33:54You're not leaving!
00:33:55I'll cut you down myself!
00:33:57The healer Phelan has arrived.
00:34:09Ethan!
00:34:10Phelan is one of the North's sacred healers.
00:34:12He serves the Black Raven clan.
00:34:14He has saved more lives than you've ever touched.
00:34:16With him here, your cheap tricks mean nothing.
00:34:20Master healer Phelan is here!
00:34:22We're saved!
00:34:28I came with a gift.
00:34:30To celebrate the wedding of Cassian, heir of the Black Raven clan.
00:34:34Celebrate what? My bride's whole family was nearly killed by this border healer.
00:34:38Look at them. Now!
00:34:40Someone dares harm Lord Cassier's bride and her family at his own wedding feast. Bold!
00:34:44I'll warn you once, stay out of this. You can't save them, and you don't want to get dragged in.
00:34:49You look like you've studied healing for a few years.
00:34:51Perhaps too bad your heart is rotten.
00:34:53You dare curse people at Lord Cassian's wedding feast.
00:34:56Ethan, your cheap little tricks are nothing before master healer Felmyk.
00:35:00Some people only learn when death is at their door.
00:35:03First Holy Seal, open the body.
00:35:06Sacred Light, drive out the curse.
00:35:09Second Holy Seal, steady the soul.
00:35:13Life, return to the body.
00:35:15Third Holy Seal, lock the darkness.
00:35:18Turn back death, bind the soul.
00:35:28Lord Cassian, the Holy Seals are complete. They're safe now.
00:35:33I really feel fine.
00:35:35I don't feel any pain at all.
00:35:37Master Healer, Felon, your power is extraordinary.
00:35:39Ethan, this is real healing.
00:35:41A border healer like you can't compare.
00:35:44After coughing up that black blood, I feel so much lighter.
00:35:47The pain is gone too.
00:35:49Thank you, Master Healer Felon.
00:35:51Your healing is unmatched.
00:35:54Lady Myra, your family were merely under a dark curse.
00:35:58I've suppressed it with Holy Seals.
00:35:59You're all fine now.
00:36:01Thank you, Master Healer Felon.
00:36:04Ethan, you despicable border fraud.
00:36:07You dared put a dark curse on us?
00:36:09Kneel and apologize.
00:36:10Now!
00:36:12Master Healer Felon has already exposed your little curse trick.
00:36:15Now it's time we settle our score.
00:36:17Exactly.
00:36:18You people truly are shameless.
00:36:20So now that you've been exposed, you're lashing out?
00:36:23I am Zeus Reborn.
00:36:24I don't rely on cheap curses.
00:36:28He only delayed Zeus' punishment for one minute.
00:36:34Stop trying to scare us.
00:36:36Give up now.
00:36:37Otherwise, I'll make sure there's nothing left of you.
00:36:41Your Holy Seals have some use.
00:36:44But Zeus' punishment cannot be undone.
00:36:46Young man, I admit your curse work is not bad.
00:36:50Too bad you chose the wrong path.
00:36:52All you know is how to scare people with cheap curses.
00:36:57Zeus may be the legendary king of gods,
00:36:59and his punishment may be feared.
00:37:02But no one alive has truly seen it.
00:37:05Every curse can be contained.
00:37:06Today, I'll show you.
00:37:08You'd better come over here and apologize.
00:37:11Otherwise, I'll teach you how to crawl like a dog.
00:37:16You're not worth my time.
00:37:20I'll talk.
00:37:22Lord Cassian, don't dirty your hands with this arrogant fool.
00:37:25Let me handle him.
00:37:26Leave him alive.
00:37:27I'm not done playing yet.
00:37:30Zeus' punishment begins in 30 seconds.
00:37:32Still playing God?
00:37:34I've practiced healing for over 30 years.
00:37:37I've seen every kind of trick.
00:37:39I'll seal your body and leave you crippled.
00:37:42Let's see how long you keep talking.
00:37:44Looks like Master Healan is serious now.
00:37:47That Border Healer is finished.
00:37:49What a shame.
00:37:50He's still young.
00:37:51He chose the wrong road.
00:37:52He brought this on himself.
00:37:54Ten seconds.
00:37:55At least you can count down to your own death.
00:38:00Three.
00:38:02First Holy Seal.
00:38:04Lock his legs.
00:38:17Second Holy Seal.
00:38:19Lock your throat.
00:38:20Let's see you keep playing God now.
00:38:23Third Holy Seal.
00:38:25Seal your whole body.
00:38:27Punish your arrogance.
00:38:29Kneel!
00:38:30One.
00:38:40This is...
00:38:41It's impossible.
00:38:43You Border Healer.
00:38:44What did you do to me?
00:38:46Zeus' punishment cannot be reversed.
00:38:48Know your place.
00:38:53Is this...
00:38:55Zeus' punishment?
00:38:57You...
00:38:57You really are Zeus reborn?
00:39:06What happened to Master Healer Felon was too strange.
00:39:08Was that really Zeus' punishment?
00:39:11Legend says Zeus commands thunder and rules life and death.
00:39:15Master Healer Felon dared stand against Zeus.
00:39:17No wonder this happened to him.
00:39:20Zeus?
00:39:21Him?
00:39:22Everyone, you've been fooled by his Black Marsh sorcery.
00:39:25Zeus' punishment?
00:39:25It's a scare tactic.
00:39:26That was clearly a forbidden Black Marsh spell, a lost curse technique.
00:39:29He is not Zeus.
00:39:30He is a Black Marsh heretic.
00:39:32That's right.
00:39:33My grandfather once spoke of the Black Marsh calamities.
00:39:36Those dark arts are known for disguising themselves as divine punishment.
00:39:39He used Black Marsh sorcery to impersonate Zeus.
00:39:42The Black Marks on the ground are proof.
00:39:44A man like this must be driven out of the north.
00:39:48Master Healer Felon served Blackrovan for years and saved countless noble bloodlines.
00:39:54And today, he was harmed by a Black Marsh heretic.
00:39:58If we allow a heretic like this to run free,
00:40:01today Master Healer Felon falls.
00:40:03Tomorrow it could be all of you.
00:40:05And your clans.
00:40:09Your parents, your wives, your children.
00:40:12He'll come for all of them.
00:40:15Are you done?
00:40:20Zeus' punishment owes you no explanation.
00:40:26Cast out the Black Marsh heretic!
00:40:28Protect the north!
00:40:30Cast out the Black Marsh heretic!
00:40:32Protect the north!
00:40:33Cast out the Black Marsh heretic!
00:40:35Protect the north!
00:40:37Yeah!
00:40:41I'm curious.
00:40:42If this Black Marsh forbidden spell has been lost for years,
00:40:45how did you recognize it at a glance?
00:40:48Have you seen it before?
00:40:50Lord Cassian was right.
00:40:51This Black Marsh heretic is panicking.
00:40:54So now he's trying to pull others down with him.
00:40:56He's trying to pull the Black Raven clan into this.
00:41:00Everyone stay alert.
00:41:02Seize this Black Marsh heretic.
00:41:11Insolent Black Marsh heretic.
00:41:14You harmed my disciple.
00:41:19Surrender at once.
00:41:22Ethan, your death has come.
00:41:33Another one coming to die.
00:41:44It's Master Healer Averius!
00:41:46Felon's Master.
00:41:48Averius is nearly a hundred years old,
00:41:49and his healing is beyond anything we know.
00:41:51I heard that when he was young,
00:41:52he even received guidance from Zeus' legacy.
00:41:55That Black Marsh heretic is dead.
00:41:57Ethan, Averius is unmatched in healing.
00:42:00The north calls him a living saint.
00:42:01Now that he's here,
00:42:02you can wait to die.
00:42:04Compared with Zeus,
00:42:05I am only a mortal.
00:42:06The gap is beyond measure.
00:42:08Guided by Zeus' oracle,
00:42:09and still blind.
00:42:11Meeting you here must be fate.
00:42:12Young man,
00:42:13you may be gifted to Master
00:42:14Forbidden Black Marsh Arts at your age,
00:42:16but you chose the wrong path.
00:42:17You harmed my disciple,
00:42:18impersonated Zeus,
00:42:19abused Black Marsh's source,
00:42:20and brought disaster to the north.
00:42:21For that, you deserve death.
00:42:22You've lived all these years,
00:42:23and you still can't see
00:42:24who is standing in front of you.
00:42:25Insolent Black Marsh heretic!
00:42:27You've lived this long.
00:42:28How is your mouth still so reckless?
00:42:30Face me in three trials.
00:42:32If you win,
00:42:33I'll guarantee your safe exit
00:42:35from Black Raven Keep today.
00:42:36Use whatever tricks you have.
00:42:37No one has ever survived
00:42:39even one move from Averius.
00:42:41You're dead today.
00:42:44Good.
00:42:46Blood Mist takes shape.
00:42:48Bones of hatred rise.
00:42:50Nine shadows gather.
00:42:51Poisoned souls strike.
00:42:53Cheap tricks?
00:42:55And you dare show them to me?
00:43:03Holy seal,
00:43:04form the bones.
00:43:05Sacred light become chains.
00:43:07Triple lock.
00:43:08By the sacred altar,
00:43:09bind him.
00:43:10Boy,
00:43:11these are my sacred light chains.
00:43:13You're finished.
00:43:14Is that all you've got?
00:43:17Ancient wood, hear me.
00:43:18What?
00:43:18Sacred vines awaken.
00:43:19Life returns to the root.
00:43:21Earth,
00:43:21bind his body.
00:43:22Green vines,
00:43:23hold him fast.
00:43:23Go!
00:43:30This is my ancient wood spell.
00:43:33Once the sacred vines bind the body,
00:43:36not even a beast can break free.
00:43:38Let's see how you escape this time.
00:43:51Sacred light or ancient wood,
00:43:53before me,
00:43:54it all turns to dust.
00:44:00That Black Marsh heretic is brutal.
00:44:02He broke Master Healers Aurelius' ancient wood spell.
00:44:05Are you done?
00:44:07From this day on,
00:44:08I formally end my marriage pact with the Silverstag clan.
00:44:11From this moment on,
00:44:12we have nothing to do with each other.
00:44:15I am Zeus reborn.
00:44:17If you don't believe me,
00:44:18go ask King Orion.
00:44:20Ethan,
00:44:20cursing people and pretending to be Zeus was bad enough.
00:44:23Now you dare use King Orion's name, too?
00:44:25I didn't expect a border healer like you to know so much.
00:44:27Yes,
00:44:28King Orion did wake up today.
00:44:30But the man who saved King Orion
00:44:32could never be a Black Marsh heretic like you.
00:44:34Even Averius may not be able to break King Orion's Wendiglo curse.
00:44:37You?
00:44:37How could you possibly have saved King Orion?
00:44:40We should seize this Black Marsh heretic
00:44:41before he spreads more lies
00:44:42and causes more trouble inside Black Raven home.
00:44:46Guards!
00:44:47Take this Black Marsh heretic down!
00:44:55Let's see who dares.
00:44:59Anyone who disrespects Lord Ethan.
00:45:07Isn't that Princess Alara,
00:45:08eldest daughter of the Royal Court?
00:45:10I heard Ash Royal Court
00:45:11and the Black Raven clan
00:45:12have been at odds for years.
00:45:13Why would she come here?
00:45:14Princess Alara just called him Lord.
00:45:17Was he really the one who woke King Orion?
00:45:19Princess Alara,
00:45:20the Silver Stag clan
00:45:21should have welcomed you properly.
00:45:22Please forgive us.
00:45:23Princess Alara,
00:45:24today we caught a Black Marsh heretic
00:45:26pretending to be Zeus reborn.
00:45:27He even claimed he saved King Orion.
00:45:29Since you're here,
00:45:30we'll leave him to you.
00:45:31Princess Alara,
00:45:32it has been a long time.
00:45:33I heard King Orion woke today.
00:45:35I haven't had time to visit
00:45:36and congratulate you.
00:45:37How about this?
00:45:38I'll hand this fake Black Marsh heretic
00:45:39over to you as a congratulatory gift.
00:45:40You say he is a Black Marsh heretic
00:45:42pretending to be Zeus reborn?
00:45:44Exactly.
00:45:45This Black Marsh heretic
00:45:46used dark sorcery
00:45:47and killed Felon,
00:45:48the Black Raven clan's personal healer.
00:45:49He also badly injured
00:45:50Master Healer Aurarius,
00:45:51Felon's master.
00:45:52Everyone here witnessed it.
00:45:53I, Cassian,
00:45:54swear I'm telling the truth.
00:45:55Princess Alara,
00:45:56this man is a Black Marsh heretic.
00:45:58Please decide what should be done with him.
00:46:00Are you finished?
00:46:04King Orion woke
00:46:05because Lord Ethan saved him.
00:46:10You called the man
00:46:11who saved the king
00:46:12a Black Marsh heretic?
00:46:18Anyone who dares touch him again
00:46:20becomes an enemy
00:46:21of Ash Royal Court.
00:46:27Open your eyes
00:46:28and look carefully.
00:46:30This is Lord Ethan,
00:46:32the man who saved my father.
00:46:33He really is the one
00:46:34who woke King Orion.
00:46:35Princess Alara herself confirmed it.
00:46:36We wrongly accused that Black Marsh heretic.
00:46:38No, we wrongly accused Lord Ethan.
00:46:41How is that possible?
00:46:43Princess Alara,
00:46:44could you be mistaken?
00:46:45He's just a border healer
00:46:46from the Black Marsh.
00:46:47How could he have saved
00:46:48King Orion?
00:46:49This man knows
00:46:50Black Marsh sorcery.
00:46:51He knows how to deceive people.
00:46:53He is no true healer.
00:46:55What?
00:46:56Should Lord Ethan
00:46:57have invited all of you
00:46:58to stand there
00:46:58and watch while he saved my father?
00:47:00I call you princess
00:47:01out of respect
00:47:01for Ash Royal Court.
00:47:03Today,
00:47:03you came to my wedding feast
00:47:04and humiliated my bride
00:47:05to be in public.
00:47:06Tomorrow,
00:47:07will you bring soldiers
00:47:08into Black Raven Held
00:47:09and trample our banner?
00:47:10Today,
00:47:10no matter who comes,
00:47:12this border healer stays here.
00:47:14You truly don't know
00:47:15when to stop.
00:47:18Ash Royal Court is nothing...
00:47:19I have never feared
00:47:21the Black Raven Clan.
00:47:26Listen carefully.
00:47:28Lord Ethan saved my father today.
00:47:30He is the benefactor
00:47:31of Ash Royal Court.
00:47:32Disrespect him
00:47:33and you disrespect Ash Royal Court.
00:47:35Lord Ethan,
00:47:36let's go.
00:47:38Wait!
00:47:42Wait.
00:47:45Even if Ethan saved King Orion,
00:47:47he still cursed my bride's family
00:47:48and injured the Black Raven Clan's
00:47:50personal healers.
00:47:50That is also a fact.
00:47:53Alara, you may leave.
00:47:54I won't stop you.
00:47:55But Ethan stays here.
00:47:57You reminded me.
00:47:58I still have unfinished business
00:47:59with the Silver Stair Clan.
00:48:01You still dare talk big?
00:48:02The Silver Stair Clan
00:48:03has not survived all these years
00:48:04by being scared.
00:48:05You're only hiding behind
00:48:06Princess Alora.
00:48:06Have you forgotten
00:48:07you're just a border healer?
00:48:08Isn't hiding behind power
00:48:10what the Silver Stair Clan
00:48:11does best?
00:48:12Ethan,
00:48:12don't push your luck.
00:48:13Don't think Princess Alora's presence
00:48:15means you can walk out that door.
00:48:16A nest of fools
00:48:17walking into death.
00:48:19Zeus's punishment.
00:48:27You still dare attack?
00:48:29They broke the ancient marriage pact
00:48:31with their own hands.
00:48:32This is the punishment they earn.
00:48:37Do you still think this is Black Marsh sorcery?
00:48:49Lord Morvayna,
00:48:51the Black Raven clan
00:48:52wants Ash Royal Court's
00:48:53salt mines and forests,
00:48:55but they refuse every offer we make.
00:48:58Please plant a curse in that old king.
00:49:00Let me take Ash Royal Court for myself
00:49:02and fulfill my ambition.
00:49:07Darian,
00:49:07do you have a death wish?
00:49:10How dare you tell me what to do?
00:49:12I wouldn't dare.
00:49:14Everything will be as you command.
00:49:16Have your son bring Lady Seraphina
00:49:17of the Silver Stair Clan back here.
00:49:19Once I use her Frost Bloodland
00:49:20to forge the final curse seed,
00:49:22you'll get your reward.
00:49:23Cassian is at the wedding
00:49:24with the Silver Stair Clan right now.
00:49:26In less than an hour,
00:49:26Seraphina will be brought
00:49:27deep into Black Raven hope.
00:49:29After that,
00:49:29she is yours.
00:49:33Divine punishment,
00:49:34so that's what happened.
00:49:35Zeus reborn helped King Orion
00:49:37pull out my curse.
00:49:40Wait.
00:49:43If you rush to your son's wedding feast now,
00:49:45you may still bring him back in one piece.
00:49:47Otherwise,
00:49:48not even a god can save him.
00:49:50Remember this.
00:49:51Do not provoke the young man
00:49:52with the medicine gorp.
00:49:53You cannot have to cross him.
00:49:54Thank you for the warning, my lord.
00:50:03Father!
00:50:04Mother!
00:50:05What's wrong, mother?
00:50:07Don't scare me!
00:50:09Seraphina, are you alright?
00:50:11Ethan, you vile coward.
00:50:13You did this to my family.
00:50:16You...
00:50:17Seraphina, don't talk.
00:50:18Breathe.
00:50:21Cassian, my chest hurts.
00:50:23I can't hold on.
00:50:26If I die,
00:50:28then you must be.
00:50:29Seraphina!
00:50:30This is what happens
00:50:31when you break
00:50:32an ancient marriage chapter.
00:50:34What?
00:50:35You want to try too?
00:50:36If I don't kill you today,
00:50:38my name isn't Cassio.
00:50:42Stop!
00:50:47Ethan,
00:50:47my father is here.
00:50:49You're dead.
00:50:52Do you know who my father is?
00:50:53Men in the North?
00:50:54Darion,
00:50:55chief of the Black Raven clan.
00:50:56One of the most ruthless men
00:50:57in the North.
00:50:58Under him,
00:50:59the Black Raven clan
00:50:59has taken plenty of salt mines
00:51:00and forests.
00:51:01Now they dare stand
00:51:02against Ash Royal Court.
00:51:03Darion is ruthless.
00:51:05People who offend him
00:51:06tend to disappear
00:51:06without explanation.
00:51:07Be careful.
00:51:09So what?
00:51:10What happened here?
00:51:12Father,
00:51:13you have to stand up for me.
00:51:15My wedding feast
00:51:16with Seraphina
00:51:16was going perfectly.
00:51:18Then this border
00:51:19the healer named Ethan
00:51:20ruined everything.
00:51:21He used Blackmarsh sorcery
00:51:22to hurt people.
00:51:23He left the Silverstag family
00:51:24half dead
00:51:25and badly injured
00:51:26Master Healer Felon
00:51:26and Master Healer Aurarius.
00:51:28I wanted to hold him
00:51:29accountable,
00:51:29but Alara keeps protecting
00:51:31this Blackmarsh heretic.
00:51:32Father,
00:51:33now that you're here,
00:51:33you have to make this right.
00:51:35Is that true?
00:51:37Every word.
00:51:38If I lied,
00:51:38may thunder strike me down.
00:51:41Chief Darion,
00:51:42the Silverstag clan
00:51:43broke an ancient marriage pact
00:51:45and insulted Lord Ethan.
00:51:46Zeus' punishment fell on them.
00:51:48They brought this
00:51:48on themselves.
00:51:50Or are you only listening
00:51:52to your son's side?
00:51:54No, father.
00:51:55You know me.
00:51:56I never start trouble outside.
00:51:57It was this Blackmarsh heretic
00:51:59who attacked innocent people.
00:52:00He hurt your future in-laws.
00:52:02If I let this insult stand,
00:52:03everyone will think
00:52:04the Black Raven clan
00:52:05has no strength left.
00:52:09Are you here to avenge
00:52:10the Silverstag clan
00:52:11and defend your son too?
00:52:13If you rush to your son's wedding feast now,
00:52:16you may still bring him back
00:52:17in one piece.
00:52:18Otherwise,
00:52:19not even a god can save him.
00:52:21Remember this.
00:52:21Do not provoke the young man
00:52:23with the medicine gore.
00:52:24You cannot have to cross him.
00:52:25Thank you for the warning,
00:52:26my lord.
00:52:29Father,
00:52:29you have to stand up for me.
00:52:31You Blackmarsh heretic,
00:52:32you die today.
00:52:43Father,
00:52:43what are you doing?
00:52:45He hurt our people.
00:52:47You hit me instead of him?
00:52:49How many times have I told you,
00:52:51keep your head down outside.
00:52:52There is always someone more powerful.
00:52:54If Lord Ethan
00:52:55hadn't shown you mercy today,
00:52:57you would already be dead
00:52:58with nothing left to bury.
00:53:00Father,
00:53:00you're out of your mind.
00:53:01This Blackmarsh heretic
00:53:03hurt our people first.
00:53:04He started this.
00:53:05That slap
00:53:06was for being too blind
00:53:07to recognize divine power.
00:53:10Father,
00:53:10have you lost your mind?
00:53:13That slap
00:53:14was for causing trouble
00:53:15and never learning your lesson.
00:53:17Father,
00:53:18what are you doing?
00:53:19He...
00:53:19And that slap
00:53:20was for your arrogance.
00:53:22You almost destroyed
00:53:23the entire Black Raven clan.
00:53:36What?
00:53:37Darion chief of the Black Raven clan
00:53:39is kneeling before
00:53:39a border healer?
00:53:40My father has never
00:53:41bowed to anyone.
00:53:43Father,
00:53:44people kneel before
00:53:44the Black Raven clan.
00:53:45How can you
00:53:46kneel for him?
00:53:47Shut up!
00:53:48Do you know who he is?
00:53:52Lord Ethan,
00:53:54this is the seal
00:53:55to the Black Raven treasury.
00:53:56There are 100,000
00:53:57gold coins inside.
00:53:59Consider it
00:53:59my son's apology gift.
00:54:01And the matter
00:54:01of the Silver Stag clan?
00:54:03The Silver Stag clan
00:54:04broke an ancient marriage pact
00:54:05and mocked a power
00:54:05they didn't understand.
00:54:06They sealed their own fate.
00:54:10What happened today
00:54:11will never leave this room.
00:54:12The Black Raven clan
00:54:13will make sure
00:54:14this never affect Lord Ethan.
00:54:16Lord Ethan,
00:54:17please accept
00:54:18the treasury seal.
00:54:19You think this is enough
00:54:21to buy your son's life?
00:54:26The Black Raven clan
00:54:27also has ancient relics,
00:54:28mind deeds,
00:54:29war horses
00:54:29and jewels.
00:54:30Please accept them all,
00:54:32Lord Ethan.
00:54:32I only ask you
00:54:33to spare my son today.
00:54:36Father,
00:54:37are you insane?
00:54:38You're kneeling
00:54:39and apologizing
00:54:40to our enemy?
00:54:41Guards,
00:54:42lock him up.
00:54:45Father!
00:54:47Lord Ethan,
00:54:48does this arrangement
00:54:49satisfy you?
00:54:50You have more sense
00:54:51than he does.
00:54:52Fine.
00:54:52I came today
00:54:53only to end
00:54:54the Silver Stag marriage pact.
00:54:55The rest of our debts
00:54:56can wait.
00:54:57Thank you for sparing us,
00:54:58Lord Ethan.
00:55:09If anyone leaks
00:55:10a single word
00:55:11of what happened today,
00:55:12if anyone leaks
00:55:13a single word
00:55:13of what happened today,
00:55:14you kill them.
00:55:19Princess Alara,
00:55:20did you come to Black Raven
00:55:22hope because King Orion's
00:55:23curse returned?
00:55:25Father is well.
00:55:26Thank you for asking,
00:55:27Lord Ethan.
00:55:28After you left
00:55:29the royal court,
00:55:30Father learned that
00:55:30Seraphina's marriage partner
00:55:31tonight was Cassian.
00:55:33The Black Raven clan
00:55:33is a top power
00:55:34in the north.
00:55:35They are not as strong
00:55:36as Ash Royal House,
00:55:37but they cannot be
00:55:37underestimated.
00:55:38After the Silflog clan
00:55:40tied themselves
00:55:40to Black Raven,
00:55:41they became
00:55:42even more argant.
00:55:44Father was worried
00:55:44you would be humiliated here,
00:55:46so he sent me
00:55:47to help you.
00:55:47These two families
00:55:48are blind.
00:55:49They failed to recognize
00:55:50your true identity
00:55:51and nearly harmed you.
00:55:53It's nothing.
00:55:53What can a few
00:55:54Black Ravens
00:55:55and Silver Stalks
00:55:55do to me?
00:55:58Princess Alara,
00:55:59you came here
00:56:00for another reason.
00:56:01Father sent me
00:56:01to investigate
00:56:02the one who released
00:56:03the curse.
00:56:04We have a lead.
00:56:05Lord Ethan,
00:56:05please return
00:56:06to the Royal Court
00:56:07with me.
00:56:08Ash Royal Court
00:56:09truly rules the north.
00:56:10You found a lead
00:56:11this quickly.
00:56:12Lord Ethan,
00:56:13please.
00:56:18How many times
00:56:19did I tell you
00:56:19to keep your head down?
00:56:20But you never listen.
00:56:22Now look at this.
00:56:23The wedding feast
00:56:24is ruined.
00:56:24The Silver Stag clan
00:56:25is half dead.
00:56:26How do you plan
00:56:27to clean this up?
00:56:34She's just one girl
00:56:35from Silver Stag.
00:56:35Is she really
00:56:36that important?
00:56:37There are plenty
00:56:38of clans in the north
00:56:39dying to marry
00:56:39into Black Raven.
00:56:40Are you telling me
00:56:41it has to be Seraphina?
00:56:43What do you know?
00:56:44Seraphina has a rare
00:56:45Frost bloodline.
00:56:47Lord Morvain
00:56:47specifically wanted her.
00:56:50Bringing her
00:56:50into the Black Raven clan
00:56:51was the most important part.
00:56:53Your arrogance
00:56:54and blindness
00:56:54ruined something
00:56:55that mattered.
00:56:56Is it really
00:56:57that mystical?
00:56:58I don't believe
00:56:59the Black Raven clan
00:57:00falls apart
00:57:00without Seraphina.
00:57:02And today
00:57:03was already enough.
00:57:04Zeus reborn,
00:57:05divine punishment.
00:57:07Now some Black Marsh
00:57:08curse lord shows up too.
00:57:09Does this ever end?
00:57:11Lord Morvain,
00:57:12my son is reckless
00:57:13and speaks without thinking.
00:57:14Please forgive him.
00:57:15I will find another way
00:57:16to bring Seraphina back.
00:57:18Father,
00:57:19you're the chief
00:57:19of the Black Raven clan.
00:57:21Even King Aron
00:57:21fears you.
00:57:23Why are you kneeling
00:57:23to this masked man?
00:57:29What did you do to me?
00:57:34She knew to keep
00:57:35your mouth shut.
00:57:37Please spare my son.
00:57:40Darien,
00:57:41have you forgotten
00:57:42who raised
00:57:43the Black Raven clan
00:57:44to where it is today?
00:57:45I would never forget.
00:57:46Without your help,
00:57:47the Black Raven clan
00:57:48would be nothing.
00:57:48Please spare my son.
00:57:50As chief of the Black Raven clan,
00:57:51you couldn't even
00:57:51bring me Seraphina.
00:57:52Perhaps the Black Raven clan
00:57:53no longer deserves
00:57:54my support.
00:57:55Father,
00:57:55help me.
00:57:56Mercy,
00:57:57my lord.
00:57:57I've served you
00:57:57faithfully for years.
00:57:58Please give me
00:57:59one more chance.
00:58:00You have one more chance.
00:58:02Fail again
00:58:03and you die.
00:58:04Command me,
00:58:04my lord.
00:58:05I will do
00:58:05whatever it takes.
00:58:07King Orion's second daughter,
00:58:10Princess Lyra.
00:58:11She carries royal blood,
00:58:13soul flame,
00:58:14and Blackmarsh curse energy.
00:58:15She is an even better vessel
00:58:16for a new curse seed
00:58:17than Seraphina.
00:58:18Princess Lyra is inside
00:58:20Ash Royal Court.
00:58:21The guards there are tight.
00:58:23She is not in the royal court.
00:58:26She is in the east tower
00:58:27of your Black Raven clan
00:58:28right now.
00:58:30In fifteen minutes,
00:58:32I want her standing before me.
00:58:33Otherwise,
00:58:34you know what happens.
00:58:35I understand.
00:58:36I understand.
00:58:42Lord Ethan,
00:58:43you're here.
00:58:44Please sit.
00:58:44No need for formalities.
00:58:46Treat this as your own home.
00:58:48King Orion,
00:58:49didn't I tell you to rest?
00:58:51Why are you pushing yourself?
00:58:52Thanks to you,
00:58:53Lord Ethan.
00:58:54I'm already much better.
00:58:57When you treated me,
00:58:59you said the illness
00:59:00came from the Wendigo curse.
00:59:02You asked me to investigate
00:59:03who planted it
00:59:04and tell you once
00:59:04I found a lead.
00:59:06I came as soon
00:59:07as I found something.
00:59:08King Orion,
00:59:09speak plainly.
00:59:11Ten years ago,
00:59:12when my mother passed away,
00:59:14Ash Royal Court
00:59:15had just begun rising.
00:59:16We were blocked
00:59:17at every turn.
00:59:18On my way back
00:59:19to the royal court,
00:59:20I met an old man
00:59:20in a black robe.
00:59:21He said we were faded
00:59:22and gave me a jar
00:59:23of Black Marsh herbs
00:59:24for free.
00:59:25He told me the herbs
00:59:25must not be boiled
00:59:26or drank.
00:59:28If the herbs weren't for drinking,
00:59:30what were they for?
00:59:31To place at the bedside
00:59:32and ward off evil.
00:59:34And then?
00:59:35Then,
00:59:35everything began going smoothly
00:59:37for Ash Royal Court.
00:59:39After that,
00:59:40it became one of the strongest
00:59:42courts in the north.
00:59:43Lord Ethan,
00:59:43you truly see through everything.
00:59:45From that day on,
00:59:46I would lose consciousness
00:59:47from time to time
00:59:48until I met you,
00:59:49Lord Ethan.
00:59:49Those were not
00:59:50soul-calming herbs.
00:59:51They carried the Wendow Curse.
00:59:53The price of Ash Royal Court's
00:59:54rise was the royal bloodline
00:59:55being drained
00:59:56while the court
00:59:56was destroyed from within.
01:00:02Lord Ethan,
01:00:03you saved my family's lives.
01:00:06After I woke up,
01:00:07that jar of Black Marsh herbs
01:00:08disappeared.
01:00:09I searched my memory
01:00:11and found a clue
01:00:12to that person.
01:00:13We learned that
01:00:14the last place he appeared
01:00:16was the Black Marsh border.
01:00:18The Black Marsh border?
01:00:20Isn't that where
01:00:20the Wendigo is sealed?
01:00:21I remember now.
01:00:23When that old man
01:00:24in the black robe
01:00:24gave me the Black Marsh herbs,
01:00:26he asked me
01:00:26if I wanted revenge.
01:00:32Revenge?
01:00:33What was that about?
01:00:34Back then,
01:00:34the herbs and gold coins
01:00:36meant to save
01:00:37my mother's life
01:00:37were stolen by bandits
01:00:39on the road.
01:00:40Her treatment was delayed.
01:00:42In the end,
01:00:43she still passed away.
01:00:48So that was when
01:00:49you met the old
01:00:49man in the black robe.
01:00:50I was in despair
01:00:51when I met him.
01:00:53The first thing he asked
01:00:54was whether I wanted revenge.
01:00:56Did you ever see him
01:00:57again after that?
01:00:59Never.
01:01:00So he knew
01:01:01what you wanted most.
01:01:04I remember something else.
01:01:05Father, please tell us
01:01:06everything at once.
01:01:08That old man
01:01:08wore a black robe
01:01:09with a black cloak over it.
01:01:11On the cloak,
01:01:12there was a very clear
01:01:13Black Sun emblem.
01:01:17There's a curse in the tea.
01:01:18Don't drink it!
01:01:24Lord Ethan,
01:01:25how is Alara?
01:01:26Princess Alana was hit
01:01:27by the curse in the tea.
01:01:29She'll be safe for now.
01:01:32But the curse inside
01:01:33Princess Alana
01:01:34is a soul-linked curse.
01:01:36It is different
01:01:37from the Wendico curse
01:01:38that was inside you.
01:01:39If the soul stays in the body,
01:01:40the person lives.
01:01:41If not,
01:01:42the body can be taken over.
01:01:43The source of this curse
01:01:44is not inside Princess Alara.
01:01:46What?
01:01:46Alara drank the herbal tea.
01:01:47How can the source
01:01:48not be inside her?
01:01:49Lord Ethan,
01:01:49please tell me!
01:01:50The curse seed
01:01:50is inside Princess Lyra.
01:01:55Lord Morvane,
01:01:56as you requested,
01:01:58I brought her here.
01:02:01Who are you?
01:02:02What do you want?
01:02:03Don't be afraid,
01:02:04Princess Lyra.
01:02:05I simply wanted to invite you
01:02:07for tea
01:02:07and a little talk.
01:02:08Catch up?
01:02:09I don't even know you!
01:02:10And who dies?
01:02:11You may not know me,
01:02:13but your father,
01:02:14King Arion,
01:02:15and I are old friends.
01:02:17Without my Black Marsh medicine,
01:02:19Ash Royal Court
01:02:19would never have become
01:02:20the strongest court
01:02:21in the North.
01:02:22In other words,
01:02:23in the North,
01:02:24I decide who live.
01:02:26My father may have
01:02:27taken your medicine,
01:02:28but Ash Royal Court
01:02:29rose because of him.
01:02:30What does that
01:02:31have to do with you?
01:02:32I helped, didn't I?
01:02:33I'm only collecting
01:02:34what King Arion owes me.
01:02:38Give Princess Lyra
01:02:40that tea.
01:02:45What are you doing?
01:02:46I...
01:02:46Drink it.
01:02:47No more talking.
01:02:50No more talking.
01:02:55One soul,
01:02:56two lives.
01:02:57Bind their pain.
01:02:59Link them across distance.
01:03:00Life and death as one.
01:03:04What...
01:03:05What did you do to me?
01:03:06Nothing much.
01:03:08Just a soul-linked curse.
01:03:10This curse connects
01:03:11your life with Alara's.
01:03:12If her curse is removed,
01:03:14you die.
01:03:15But if it isn't removed,
01:03:16your sister dies in one hour.
01:03:19Now, I want to see
01:03:20which daughter
01:03:21King Arion chooses to save.
01:03:23Princess Alara
01:03:23or you?
01:03:27You're disgusting.
01:03:29Don't worry.
01:03:30I'm only playing
01:03:31with your Royal Court.
01:03:32If I wanted you dead,
01:03:34you wouldn't survive today.
01:03:36Send Princess Lyra back.
01:03:39May I speak with
01:03:40Princess Lyra alone?
01:03:42I need to settle
01:03:44a small score from today.
01:03:45Do as you like.
01:03:46Thank you,
01:03:47Lord Morvain.
01:03:50Princess Lyra,
01:03:51let's go.
01:03:52I'll send you home.
01:03:57The curse seat
01:03:58is inside Princess Lyra.
01:03:59If I remove
01:04:00Princess Alara's curse,
01:04:01Princess Lyra will suffer
01:04:01the entire time
01:04:02and may even die.
01:04:03But if I don't remove it,
01:04:04in one hour,
01:04:05Princess Alara will itch all over,
01:04:06bleed from her eyes
01:04:07and mouth and die.
01:04:08King Arion,
01:04:08Morvain is forcing you to choose.
01:04:10Save Princess Alara
01:04:11or save Princess Lyra.
01:04:13Unforgivable.
01:04:14Cursing me wasn't enough
01:04:15and now he's coming
01:04:15after my daughters.
01:04:16But Lord Ethan,
01:04:17if we're saving them,
01:04:18we have to find Lyra
01:04:18within the hour.
01:04:19No need.
01:04:20Princess Lyra is already here.
01:04:22What?
01:04:23Here?
01:04:23She just went to
01:04:25the Black Raven Clan's
01:04:26East Tower Trading House.
01:04:27She can't be here.
01:04:28Your Majesty,
01:04:29something happened.
01:04:30Princess Lyra was badly wounded
01:04:31and dumped outside
01:04:31the Royal Court Gate.
01:04:33Put her down.
01:04:34Send people to watch
01:04:35the Black Raven Clan.
01:04:41Already done.
01:04:42Father.
01:04:44Lyra, what happened?
01:04:45Yesterday,
01:04:46I was reviewing
01:04:46an old contract
01:04:47at the Black Raven Clan's
01:04:49East Tower Trading House.
01:04:50Darion interrupted
01:04:51the meeting
01:04:52and had his men
01:04:52take me to a secret room
01:04:54inside Black Raven Keep.
01:04:59Darion, Cassian
01:05:00and a masked man
01:05:01tortured me.
01:05:03That masked man
01:05:04placed a curse inside me.
01:05:07Lord Ethan,
01:05:07please save my sister.
01:05:10Princess Lyra,
01:05:11don't be afraid.
01:05:12I'm here.
01:05:15Darion must have
01:05:16a death wish.
01:05:17He dared lay hands
01:05:18on my daughter.
01:05:20Lyra,
01:05:21you said Darion
01:05:21and his son
01:05:22worked with a masked man
01:05:23to curse you.
01:05:24Yes.
01:05:25His name was Morvain.
01:05:29Morvain.
01:05:30Just as I thought.
01:05:31Darion wanted to curse me
01:05:32and kill me.
01:05:33I'll make him pay for this.
01:05:35King Orion,
01:05:35the priority is saving
01:05:36both princesses.
01:05:37Revenge can wait
01:05:38until they're safe.
01:05:38But because of the
01:05:39soul link curse,
01:05:40only one of them
01:05:40can be saved.
01:05:41Do you have a way?
01:05:42Me to the bedroom.
01:05:43I have a plan.
01:05:45Oren is the one
01:05:46Morvian cursed
01:05:47and controlled.
01:05:48Lyra is clean.
01:05:50Morvian must be
01:05:51using Oren
01:05:52to watch us.
01:05:56No.
01:05:58We need to draw Morvian.
01:05:59King Orion,
01:06:00no matter what happens
01:06:01in this room later,
01:06:02don't let anyone come in.
01:06:03And please,
01:06:04prepare some fresh mint leaves
01:06:05for me.
01:06:06Oren,
01:06:07follow Lord Ethan's
01:06:08instructions.
01:06:10Your Majesty,
01:06:11fresh mint doesn't grow
01:06:12this season.
01:06:14I'll handle it
01:06:15right away.
01:06:16I'll leave this
01:06:17to you,
01:06:17Lord Ethan.
01:06:22I don't know
01:06:23how much longer
01:06:24my body can hold out.
01:06:29Lord Ethan,
01:06:30the man who cursed us
01:06:31said only one of us
01:06:32can live.
01:06:33Is that true?
01:06:33Yes.
01:06:35Then save my sister.
01:06:37She's stronger than I am,
01:06:38just like father.
01:06:39I believe she can take
01:06:40Ash Royal Halt
01:06:41further than I ever could.
01:06:42Princess Lyra,
01:06:43don't worry.
01:06:44Normally the
01:06:45Soul Link curse
01:06:45allows only one person
01:06:46to live,
01:06:46but I don't follow
01:06:47normal rules.
01:06:48Both of you
01:06:48will be fine.
01:06:50Lord Ethan,
01:06:50you can save both of us?
01:06:51Yes.
01:06:53But the curse
01:06:53is easy to break.
01:06:55The evil inside people
01:06:56is much harder.
01:06:58What do you mean?
01:06:59I'll break the curse first.
01:07:01After Princess Alara
01:07:01wakes,
01:07:02we'll talk.
01:07:03Lie down,
01:07:03close your eyes
01:07:04and remove
01:07:05your outer robe.
01:07:13Thunderlight of Zeus,
01:07:14separate their souls.
01:07:17Darkness,
01:07:18withdraw.
01:07:19Life,
01:07:19return.
01:07:20Souls,
01:07:21return to your bodies.
01:07:23Soul Link curse,
01:07:24break apart!
01:07:27Watch out!
01:07:31Watch out!
01:07:35Ethan,
01:07:36you're more capable
01:07:37than I expected.
01:07:38You broke
01:07:38the Soul Link curse.
01:07:40In this world,
01:07:40only you could do that.
01:07:41No wonder you're
01:07:42Zeus reborn.
01:07:45He has also been
01:07:47cursed by Morvan.
01:07:48Morvain!
01:07:49Let Orin go!
01:07:52Hand over the
01:07:54curse seed
01:07:54inside King Orion.
01:07:56Try leaving here
01:07:57alive.
01:07:58Your curse seed
01:07:59is right here.
01:08:01Ethan!
01:08:03What a waste!
01:08:05You wasted something
01:08:07that precious
01:08:07just to break a curse.
01:08:10You're beyond saving.
01:08:12Unforgivable!
01:08:13Ethan!
01:08:15Lord Ethan,
01:08:16please save Orin.
01:08:18Orin,
01:08:19hold on.
01:08:20Break free
01:08:21from Morvena's control.
01:08:22Princess Lyra,
01:08:23my mind is clearer
01:08:24than ever.
01:08:25You never should have
01:08:27brought this man back.
01:08:28He ruined
01:08:29everything.
01:08:30I'm sorry.
01:08:32I can't save him.
01:08:33What?
01:08:34Even you
01:08:35can't save him?
01:08:36If even you
01:08:37can't,
01:08:38who can?
01:08:41A curse
01:08:42can be broken,
01:08:42a rotten heart
01:08:43cannot.
01:08:45Only he
01:08:46can save himself.
01:08:47Even a god
01:08:48couldn't do it
01:08:48for him.
01:08:50What do you mean?
01:08:53Orin
01:08:54was never cursed.
01:08:55He was sent here
01:08:56to kill both of you.
01:09:02Orin has served
01:09:03father for years.
01:09:04He watched us
01:09:05grow up.
01:09:06Why would he
01:09:07want to kill us?
01:09:08Do you remember
01:09:09what I said
01:09:09before breaking
01:09:10the curse?
01:09:11I remember.
01:09:13You said
01:09:14curses are easy
01:09:14to break,
01:09:15but the human
01:09:15heart cannot be
01:09:16healed.
01:09:17Lord Ethan,
01:09:18what is going
01:09:18on with Orin?
01:09:19The problem
01:09:20begins with
01:09:20your father.
01:09:22King Orion
01:09:22is at the
01:09:23center of this.
01:09:24If I'm right,
01:09:25King Orion
01:09:25sent him to
01:09:26kill you.
01:09:27No.
01:09:28That's impossible.
01:09:30I must still
01:09:31be dreaming.
01:09:32Sister,
01:09:32pinch me.
01:09:33Wake me up.
01:09:35Lord Ethan,
01:09:36this is not
01:09:36something you
01:09:37joke about.
01:09:37Ask Orin,
01:09:38then you'll know.
01:09:42The black flame
01:09:43mark behind his
01:09:44ear was put there
01:09:44by himself,
01:09:45so I would notice
01:09:45it while he
01:09:46led the way.
01:09:47At first,
01:09:47I thought he had
01:09:48been cursed
01:09:48when he met
01:09:48Princess Lyra
01:09:49at the gate.
01:09:50I thought Morvan
01:09:51was using him
01:09:51to watch us.
01:09:52But other than
01:09:53the Soul Link curse,
01:09:54I found no sign
01:09:55of any other curse
01:09:55on Princess Lyra.
01:09:57And Morvan is
01:09:58confident enough now
01:09:59that if he wanted
01:09:59to kill us,
01:10:00he wouldn't need
01:10:00such a complicated
01:10:01setup.
01:10:02So the problem
01:10:02lies with your father.
01:10:03Princess Lyra,
01:10:04your father did not
01:10:05tell us the truth.
01:10:06Lord Ethan is more
01:10:07than a divine healer.
01:10:08He can see the whole
01:10:09board.
01:10:09Princess Lyra,
01:10:10your biggest mistake
01:10:11was bringing him
01:10:12back to cure the king.
01:10:13His majesty was
01:10:13about to become a god.
01:10:14And your love
01:10:15for your father
01:10:16ruined his plan.
01:10:19What did you say?
01:10:20This was all
01:10:20father's plan?
01:10:21His coma was staged?
01:10:22That can't be true.
01:10:23We brought so many
01:10:24sacred healers to father
01:10:25and none of them
01:10:26could break his curse.
01:10:27Your father's curse
01:10:27was real.
01:10:28Those so-called
01:10:29sacred healers
01:10:30truly couldn't see
01:10:30what was wrong with him.
01:10:31But your father
01:10:32and Morvan have
01:10:32a deep connection.
01:10:34When I woke your father,
01:10:35I disrupted their plan.
01:10:36Since you're all
01:10:37about to die,
01:10:38I might as well
01:10:38tell you the truth.
01:10:39His majesty sought out
01:10:40Morvain himself
01:10:41for immortality
01:10:41and swallowed the
01:10:42Black Marsh curse seed
01:10:43willingly.
01:10:44The day the curse seed
01:10:44breaks out of his body
01:10:45is the day his majesty
01:10:46leaves his mortal body
01:10:47behind and becomes
01:10:47immortal.
01:10:48And Ethan ruined it.
01:10:51No, no.
01:10:52Father would never do that.
01:10:54Nothing is impossible,
01:10:55Princess Lyra.
01:10:56You are too kind
01:10:57and far too easy to fool.
01:11:00In your next life,
01:11:01fix that weakness.
01:11:05It's done.
01:11:13Morvain,
01:11:13I handled Ethan for you.
01:11:15When do I get
01:11:16the Black Marsh curse seed
01:11:17you promised me?
01:11:18You are as ruthless
01:11:19as ever.
01:11:20For immortality,
01:11:21you sacrificed your wife.
01:11:22Now you are willing
01:11:23to sacrifice your daughters.
01:11:24Wolves do not preach mercy.
01:11:26Great things require sacrifice.
01:11:28I want to see how much use
01:11:29the body of Zeus reborn
01:11:30still has
01:11:31and what kind of
01:11:32cursed seed it can reform.
01:11:58where is my curse seed?
01:12:02Lord Morvain,
01:12:04that boy said
01:12:05he turned your soul
01:12:05link curse into medicine.
01:12:07Damn boy,
01:12:08you even dared
01:12:09turn my curse seed
01:12:10into medicine.
01:12:14Zeus's thunderlight.
01:12:16So he really isn't
01:12:17an ordinary border healer.
01:12:19Morvain,
01:12:20I delivered the man
01:12:21you wanted.
01:12:21Now according to our deal,
01:12:23give me the real
01:12:23Black Marsh curse seed.
01:12:25What deal?
01:12:26You're betraying me?
01:12:28I gave you Ethan
01:12:29and both of my daughters.
01:12:30You promised me
01:12:31the real Black Marsh curse seed.
01:12:33You promised to help me
01:12:34become immortal.
01:12:35Orion,
01:12:36have you forgotten
01:12:37who put you
01:12:38on that throne?
01:12:39I took you
01:12:40from a fallen raw line
01:12:41and made you
01:12:42king of the north.
01:12:43And now you bring me
01:12:45a few corpses
01:12:45and think you can bargain?
01:12:48You promised me
01:12:49once I gave you Ethan
01:12:50you would help me
01:12:51become immortal.
01:12:52Their lives are worthless.
01:12:53If I want them dead,
01:12:54they die.
01:12:55You're the one
01:12:56who betrayed blood and oath.
01:12:57You sacrificed your wife,
01:12:59then your daughters
01:12:59and now you still
01:13:00want immortality?
01:13:01You're too greedy.
01:13:02I can give you
01:13:03all of Ash Royal Court.
01:13:05Salt mines,
01:13:06hunting grounds,
01:13:07take whatever you want.
01:13:09And what makes you
01:13:10think I care about
01:13:11any of that?
01:13:12Right now,
01:13:13he is worth
01:13:13more than you.
01:13:15Zeus' reborn body
01:13:17and the remains
01:13:18of the cursed seed
01:13:19he refined
01:13:19are far more useful
01:13:21than your old bones.
01:13:23What do you want?
01:13:24Don't ask what I want.
01:13:27Ask what you still have.
01:13:33What if I offer
01:13:34every resource
01:13:34Ash Royal Court has?
01:13:36Ash Royal Court
01:13:37is now the strongest
01:13:38court in the north.
01:13:39Wasn't I the one
01:13:40who put you
01:13:40on that throne?
01:13:41I can make you king
01:13:42and I can make
01:13:43someone else king.
01:13:45You know exactly
01:13:46why I chose you
01:13:47back then.
01:13:48Because my queen
01:13:48had a rare frost bloodline.
01:13:50You wanted to use her
01:13:52as a sacrifice
01:13:53for your soul link,
01:13:54Kurt.
01:13:54You wanted my queen's life
01:13:56and I gave it to you.
01:13:57I gave you my daughters too!
01:13:59What else do you want?
01:14:01Without your blood relatives,
01:14:03you're nothing to me.
01:14:05You.
01:14:08I forgot.
01:14:10You still have
01:14:11one loyal dog.
01:14:17If you want to touch
01:14:18the king,
01:14:19you go through me first.
01:14:21You want to fight me?
01:14:22You don't even know
01:14:23how weak you are.
01:14:26Say it!
01:14:27What do you want?
01:14:28Orion, so many royal families
01:14:30begged me back then.
01:14:31Why did I choose
01:14:31a fallen prince like you?
01:14:33Because you wanted
01:14:34my queen's bloodline.
01:14:35That was only part of it.
01:14:36I chose you
01:14:37because you were ruthless.
01:14:38You dared to give things up.
01:14:40You dared to gamble.
01:14:41Just like now.
01:14:41All I have now
01:14:42is Ash Royal Court
01:14:44and every resource
01:14:45in the north.
01:14:46If you want them,
01:14:49take them.
01:14:50Think harder.
01:14:51What else do you still have?
01:14:53I have nothing left now.
01:14:58You want my life.
01:14:59So you finally understand,
01:15:01yes,
01:15:02I want your life.
01:15:04Your majesty,
01:15:06run!
01:15:12Such loyalty.
01:15:15Such a worthless death.
01:15:21Hello, Morvane.
01:15:24Or should I call you
01:15:26brother?
01:15:30Nothing is impossible,
01:15:31Princess Lyra.
01:15:33You're too kind
01:15:34and far too trusting.
01:15:35In your next life,
01:15:37fix that weakness.
01:15:40You think you can take my life?
01:15:42This can't be real.
01:15:43I don't believe it.
01:15:44Lyra, wake up.
01:15:45This is real.
01:15:46Since our father wants us dead,
01:15:49we need to decide
01:15:50what we do next.
01:15:51I just used
01:15:52True Thunder.
01:15:53Oren can only tell the truth now.
01:15:54Ask him anything you want.
01:15:57Oren,
01:15:58was everything you said
01:15:59just now true?
01:16:00Every word.
01:16:01Did you know
01:16:02Princess Lyra
01:16:02was tortured
01:16:03by the Black Riven Clan
01:16:05and Morvane?
01:16:06His majesty
01:16:06deliberately sent
01:16:07Princess Lyra
01:16:08to the Black Riven Clan's
01:16:09East Tower Trading House
01:16:10to investigate
01:16:11an old contract.
01:16:12Princesses,
01:16:13we are already
01:16:13inside the trap.
01:16:15Let's hear how many more
01:16:16secrets King Aran
01:16:17and Morvane are hiding.
01:16:17We'll follow
01:16:18your lead,
01:16:18Lord Ethan.
01:16:22Princesses,
01:16:23forgive me.
01:16:48Brother,
01:16:49brother,
01:16:50those little tricks
01:16:51of yours won't kill me.
01:16:53Morvane,
01:16:53I've already sealed
01:16:54this room
01:16:54with a thunder barrier.
01:16:55Don't waste your strength.
01:16:56Your Black Marr curses
01:16:57won't work here.
01:16:58Surrender.
01:16:59No wonder you are
01:17:00Zeus reborn.
01:17:01So the power
01:17:01of the old gods
01:17:02really did fall to you.
01:17:03But crushing you
01:17:04would take no effort.
01:17:05I'm not done playing yet,
01:17:06so I'll let you live today.
01:17:07Goodbye.
01:17:21King Aran,
01:17:22what happened today
01:17:23is a matter for Ashcord.
01:17:24I won't interfere,
01:17:25but there are things
01:17:26you need to tell
01:17:27the truth about.
01:17:28You all heard it.
01:17:31We heard.
01:17:32Father,
01:17:32you were willing
01:17:33to trade all our lives
01:17:34for your immortality
01:17:35and your throne.
01:17:36Do you even deserve
01:17:37to be our father?
01:17:38King Aran,
01:17:39that curse cannot
01:17:40make you immortal.
01:17:41It cannot make you a god.
01:17:42It will only keep
01:17:43feeding on your soul
01:17:44and your family's souls
01:17:45until your house
01:17:46is destroyed.
01:17:47If immortality
01:17:47were truly that easy,
01:17:49why would Morvane
01:17:50give it to a mortal
01:17:50with no divine power
01:17:51instead of keeping it
01:17:52for himself?
01:17:54So,
01:17:55I was never
01:17:56Morvane's chosen one.
01:17:57I was his experiment.
01:18:01When I had just
01:18:02taken over Ash Royal Court,
01:18:03I signed a major
01:18:04saltmine contract.
01:18:05Halfway through,
01:18:06our allied clan
01:18:07suddenly withdrew.
01:18:08It nearly destroyed us.
01:18:09I had knights to feed.
01:18:11My mother needed
01:18:11life-saving medicine.
01:18:12Elira and Lyra
01:18:13were still young.
01:18:14Every corner of the court
01:18:15needed gold.
01:18:16I went to them
01:18:17again and again,
01:18:18begging them not to pull out.
01:18:19Every time,
01:18:19they refused.
01:18:20Just like that,
01:18:21the saltmine contract
01:18:22collapsed the royal court.
01:18:23was on the edge.
01:18:24My mother died
01:18:24on her sickbed.
01:18:25After I left her sickroom,
01:18:26I went to the altar
01:18:27of the Old Gods
01:18:27to ask for guidance.
01:18:29When I came out,
01:18:29I met Morvane.
01:18:31He asked if I wanted revenge.
01:18:32I was blinded by hate.
01:18:34I thought the Old Gods
01:18:36had answered me,
01:18:36so I made a deal with him.
01:18:38With all our lives
01:18:39is the price for your greed?
01:18:41He promised that
01:18:42within 15 years,
01:18:43I would rule the North
01:18:44and become immortal.
01:18:45I was young and arrogant.
01:18:47I agreed before
01:18:48he even finished speaking.
01:18:49And the price
01:18:49was your entire family's lives?
01:18:51No!
01:18:52The price was a lifetime
01:18:53of being alone.
01:18:54Then congratulations.
01:18:56You got exactly
01:18:57what you wanted.
01:18:58From now on,
01:18:59you will be alone
01:18:59for the rest of your life.
01:19:00Princess Alara,
01:19:01not yet.
01:19:02Let King Orion finish.
01:19:03He gave me the price
01:19:04before I understood it.
01:19:06When he said the cost
01:19:07was a lifetime alone,
01:19:08I felt nothing.
01:19:09What's the difference?
01:19:10A lifetime of being alone
01:19:12doesn't only mean
01:19:13losing your family.
01:19:15It means from that day on,
01:19:17there was no one
01:19:18beside me I could trust.
01:19:19Then congratulations.
01:19:21You got exactly
01:19:22what you wanted.
01:19:22From now on,
01:19:23you will be alone
01:19:24for the rest of your life.
01:19:25Princess Alara,
01:19:26not yet.
01:19:26Let King Orion finish.
01:19:28He gave me the price
01:19:29before I understood it.
01:19:30When he said the cost
01:19:32was a lifetime alone,
01:19:33I felt nothing.
01:19:34He gave me a jar
01:19:35of Black Marsh herbs.
01:19:37He told me not to boil them
01:19:38or drink them
01:19:38only to place them
01:19:39by the bed.
01:19:40Because of where
01:19:41I placed them,
01:19:41that very night
01:19:42I had a terrible fight
01:19:43with the Queen.
01:19:44Looking back now,
01:19:45that was when
01:19:46the price began.
01:19:48The Queen saw that thing
01:19:50and couldn't sleep.
01:19:51That night,
01:19:52she slept on the fur bench
01:19:53in the outer hall.
01:19:55When I woke up,
01:19:56the herbs were still there,
01:19:57but the curse seed
01:19:58inside them was gone.
01:20:00If I'm right,
01:20:00that curse seed
01:20:01was never meant for you.
01:20:02It was meant for your Queen
01:20:03because she carried
01:20:04the rare frost bloodline.
01:20:06At first,
01:20:06there were no signs at all.
01:20:07Then,
01:20:08after Lyra turned 18,
01:20:10the Queen suddenly
01:20:10coughed blood
01:20:11in the Royal Court
01:20:12inner chamber
01:20:12and died.
01:20:13When I prepared her body,
01:20:15I regretted making that deal.
01:20:17I found him
01:20:18and told him
01:20:18the deal was off.
01:20:20I said I wanted out.
01:20:21You only saw
01:20:22what you gained.
01:20:23You never understood
01:20:24what you lost.
01:20:25What did I gain?
01:20:26What did I gain?
01:20:28The Royal Court.
01:20:30A court that belonged to me.
01:20:32The greatest Royal Court
01:20:33in the North.
01:20:34And after that?
01:20:36Ash Royal Court
01:20:37grew stronger by the day.
01:20:39It did not even take 15 years.
01:20:41It became
01:20:42the strongest Royal Court
01:20:44in the North.
01:20:44Princess Lyla's illness,
01:20:46in a way,
01:20:47also came from you.
01:20:48Yes.
01:20:50It came from me.
01:20:51But I had no way back.
01:20:53All I could do
01:20:54was keep moving forward.
01:20:56Give them the best
01:20:57of everything.
01:20:58Material things.
01:20:59To make up
01:21:01for what I owed them.
01:21:02I would rather have lived poor
01:21:03than watch our family
01:21:05fall apart,
01:21:06be torn to pieces.
01:21:08Illness can be healed.
01:21:09Desire is harder to remove.
01:21:11That's because
01:21:11you've never been desperate.
01:21:13Every person has desires.
01:21:14I did what I had to do.
01:21:16Then what about your mother,
01:21:17who built everything
01:21:17with you from nothing?
01:21:18Sometimes,
01:21:19for the future of a kingdom,
01:21:21one person's sacrifice
01:21:22means nothing.
01:21:23You're beyond saving.
01:21:24You're not the father I knew.
01:21:28At this point,
01:21:29I only want to step down
01:21:30and leave Ash Court behind.
01:21:33The Blackstone Royal Token.
01:21:35Whoever holds it
01:21:36speaks with the King's authority.
01:21:38From this day on,
01:21:40Ash Royal Court
01:21:42is yours to command.
01:21:49This filthy thing.
01:21:51Let it rot.
01:21:55Ten Ash Royal courts
01:21:57could never buy back
01:21:59Mother's life.
01:22:00Elara,
01:22:00you are exactly like I was
01:22:02when I first took over
01:22:02the Royal Court.
01:22:03Fearless.
01:22:04But one day,
01:22:05you'll understand.
01:22:06Reality will crush you
01:22:07until you can't breathe.
01:22:09And this token
01:22:10is the weapon
01:22:10that lets you survive it.
01:22:12Lyra, come here.
01:22:13Let your father
01:22:14hold you one last time.
01:22:15If only your mother
01:22:16were here now.
01:22:24Father!
01:22:25Father!
01:22:26Father!
01:22:30Princesses,
01:22:31the dead cannot return.
01:22:32King Orion had already
01:22:33taken poison.
01:22:34We were here the whole time.
01:22:35When did he take it?
01:22:37He knew he had
01:22:37too many enemies in the North.
01:22:39If he ever fell
01:22:39into their hands,
01:22:40it was his last
01:22:41shred of dignity.
01:22:42Lord Ethan,
01:22:43you can save people.
01:22:44Please,
01:22:44you have to save him.
01:22:45There's still time.
01:22:48Father.
01:22:49He knew he had
01:22:50too many enemies
01:22:51in the North.
01:22:52If he ever fell
01:22:53into their hands,
01:22:54he hid it in his tooth.
01:22:55It was his final
01:22:56foulback.
01:22:57Princess Lyra,
01:22:58King Orion's belief
01:22:59in immortality
01:23:00has shattered.
01:23:00He caused the Queen's death
01:23:01and nearly killed
01:23:02both of you.
01:23:03Even if I brought him back,
01:23:04I'm afraid.
01:23:05This is not the time
01:23:06to cry.
01:23:06Handle Father's funeral
01:23:08in the court's affairs.
01:23:09Lord Ethan and I
01:23:10will settle the score
01:23:10with Morvan.
01:23:11Princess Alara,
01:23:12you truly are
01:23:13King Orion's daughter.
01:23:14Calm under pressure.
01:23:15Born to rule.
01:23:16Princess Alara,
01:23:17not yet.
01:23:20Morvane's Black Marsh
01:23:21curses are strange.
01:23:22If we go now
01:23:23without preparation,
01:23:24we're just walking
01:23:25to our deaths.
01:23:26I have something for you.
01:23:28What is this?
01:23:29Toad Blyle Powder.
01:23:30Once applied,
01:23:31it's colorless and odorless,
01:23:32but deadly to Black Marsh
01:23:33curse bugs.
01:23:33Think of it as armor
01:23:35for your body.
01:23:39I thought it over.
01:23:41Better to end a threat
01:23:42before it spreads.
01:23:44If I leave you alone,
01:23:45sooner or later
01:23:46you'll ruin everything.
01:23:49So, Ethan,
01:23:51die.
01:23:52Perfect.
01:23:53Saves me the trouble
01:23:54of finding you.
01:23:55Give me back
01:23:56my mother's life!
01:23:58Give me back
01:23:59my curse seed.
01:24:01Bloodline.
01:24:02Soul.
01:24:05Immortality.
01:24:06Come to me!
01:24:17What's happening?
01:24:19How can he still
01:24:19cast curses?
01:24:20Didn't he set up
01:24:21a thunder barrier here?
01:24:22To me,
01:24:23it makes no difference.
01:24:25You think this boy
01:24:26is powerful enough
01:24:27to break down
01:24:27my curse?
01:24:29Ridiculous.
01:24:30If you want it so badly,
01:24:32I'll give it back.
01:24:33By my thunder light,
01:24:34open the path back.
01:24:38My curse bugs,
01:24:39why are they gone?
01:24:40How do you know
01:24:41the Black Marsh curse tongue?
01:24:42I am Zeus Reborn.
01:24:44No dark art
01:24:45stays hidden from me.
01:24:46I've seen through
01:24:46your curse work,
01:24:47Morvain.
01:24:47You miscalculated.
01:24:49Then I'll take
01:24:50the souls you protect
01:24:51and repair my broken one.
01:24:54These are motion-hunting
01:24:56curse bugs.
01:24:57They attack anything
01:24:58alive that moves.
01:25:00Once they stick to you
01:25:01for 30 seconds,
01:25:02you'll be nothing
01:25:03but bones.
01:25:04They leave the flesh
01:25:05untouched.
01:25:06They only eat the bones.
01:25:08After you die,
01:25:09I'll make cloaks
01:25:10from your skin.
01:25:15Ethan, do you know
01:25:17why you became
01:25:18Zeus Reborn?
01:25:21Morvain,
01:25:22you use curse bugs
01:25:23to devour
01:25:23other people's lives
01:25:25and repair
01:25:25your own broken soul.
01:25:27So what?
01:25:27The strong survive
01:25:29by devouring the weak.
01:25:30You're right.
01:25:31So today,
01:25:32it's your turn
01:25:33to be devoured.
01:25:40Don't you dare.
01:25:42Black Marsh,
01:25:42open.
01:25:43Curse blood,
01:25:44awaken.
01:25:44Take his soul
01:25:45and make his power
01:25:47mine.
01:25:48Thunder,
01:25:48shatter the darkness.
01:25:52My curse bugs.
01:25:54How did they disappear?
01:25:56Sister!
01:25:57Let's see if you're
01:25:58willing to kill her
01:25:59just to destroy me.
01:26:00Ethan,
01:26:01what are you waiting for?
01:26:02Do it!
01:26:03If my life
01:26:04can take this monster down,
01:26:05it's worth it.
01:26:06Brother,
01:26:07join me.
01:26:08You command divine healing.
01:26:10I command Black Marsh curses.
01:26:13Together,
01:26:13this whole world
01:26:14could be ours.
01:26:15Everyone chooses
01:26:15their own path.
01:26:16I won't steal another life
01:26:17to change mine.
01:26:19In all my life,
01:26:20you're the only one
01:26:21who has ever dared
01:26:21refuse me, Ethan.
01:26:23Then die with her!
01:26:27Impossible!
01:26:27How do you know
01:26:28the strongest Black Marsh curse?
01:26:30You're wrong.
01:26:31To you,
01:26:32this is the strongest
01:26:32Black Marsh cursed.
01:26:34To me,
01:26:35it's nothing.
01:26:36Spend the rest of your life
01:26:38inside my inner prison.
01:26:39No!
01:26:40No!
01:26:41No!
01:26:49You're awake.
01:26:51Are you alright?
01:26:52Are you hurt?
01:26:53Where is Morvayne?
01:26:55I'm fine.
01:26:56I trapped him
01:26:57inside my inner prison.
01:26:59He will spend the rest
01:27:00of his life there.
01:27:02Sister!
