High angel Leah shares a sacred bond with her guardian Lucius. But when low angel Isabella — infected by dark erosion — pretends to be innocent and seduces Lucius to climb the ranks, the bond shatters. Isabella’s provocation infects Lucius, damaging his core and driving him mad. At the Holy Light Ceremony, Leah exposes the truth. Lucius, consumed by rage, destroys the only cure — and his last way back.

Short filmTranscript
00:00The Celestial Sanctuary. Nine Orders above. Those with pure cores dwell in the clouds. The Corrupted fall into the Abbas.
00:08The Fallen. Stripped of their seal. Wings severed. Cast out forever. No pardon.
00:18Lady Eleanor. These are all the corruption signatures detected in the Lower Sanctum today. One of them. The intensity is
00:25off the charts. The rot's already deep in the core. Anyone in close contact with it will be infected.
00:30A name.
00:33Viola. Attendant Angel. Assigned to the Third Legion.
00:48Under Lord Orion's command.
00:53Lord Orion. Your light. So comforting.
00:58Stop this, Viola. I hold a covenant with Eleanor. This is a line I won't cross.
01:02Oh, don't pretend. Didn't you say Lady Eleanor was rather dull?
01:06Wait. This isn't the time I still carry Eleanor's covenant.
01:17Orion. You chose to betray me. So be it. Let's see if you're ready to fall right alongside her.
01:28I swear on my name as God you.
01:32You are my only bond.
01:36I will never betray you.
01:39The covenant endures. The covenant endures.
01:47If a covenant means so little, then I'll drag you both into the abyss myself.
01:57Eleanor. What brings you here?
01:59What? Am I not allowed?
02:02Of course you are. It's just, you're usually at the Hall of Sacred Healing this time of day.
02:05I received some interesting news today.
02:08Finished up early?
02:12Viola.
02:15Eleanor, Viola's not here.
02:16I sent her out on an errand.
02:18Is that so?
02:19Of course.
02:21Damn it.
02:22Did she see her or not?
02:24Eleanor.
02:26What made you come to the throne room today?
02:28You usually hate it here.
02:30Since when do we need a reason to see each other?
02:33No, of course not. I just...
02:35Your color's cryptic.
02:41Eleanor.
02:43It's our fifth covenant anniversary today.
02:47Come back to the sanctum tonight.
02:50I have a surprise for you.
03:01My lady.
03:03My lady was standing outside the throne room door for quite some time.
03:09Your legs must be tired.
03:12Move.
03:13He says my lady is like a dad fish in bad.
03:18So he came to me instead.
03:21Just taking out the trash.
03:24You...
03:32Lady Linnard.
03:34I know I was wrong.
03:36But you can't just...
03:37No!
03:38No!
03:44Eleanor.
03:46Have you lost your mind?
03:48Orion.
03:48I never touched her.
03:50She threw herself at me.
03:52Lord Orion.
03:54Don't blame Lady Elanor.
03:56It was my fault.
03:58I said something I shouldn't have.
04:00I upset her.
04:02Do you believe her?
04:04Or me?
04:10Her core.
04:11It's fracturing.
04:13What did you do to her?
04:15You've changed, Eleanor.
04:17You're not the woman I swore my oath to anymore.
04:24I wouldn't be a guardian without your house.
04:28I swear to you.
04:29I will always fight for you.
04:34You once swore you'd fight only for me.
04:37Five years.
04:39That's all it took for you to find someone else to protect.
04:42Fine.
04:43If she's your choice, then fall into the Abyss with her.
04:47Take her and go.
04:54Wyn.
04:55Thank you for taking out the drash for me.
05:08Still upset.
05:09I cleared all my patrol duties for tomorrow.
05:13I just want to be with you tonight.
05:16Break the covenant.
05:19No.
05:19I won't break it.
05:20We've been together five years.
05:22Elanet, I just...
05:23I had a moment of weakness.
05:24She came on to me and I...
05:26You just didn't stop her.
05:28Do you have to talk like that?
05:30I came back to make things right.
05:31Not to stand trial.
05:33Make things right.
05:34You don't even know what you did wrong.
05:36Lord Orion, please help me.
05:38It hurts so much.
05:39Lady Eleanor gave the order.
05:41No one is allowed to heal me.
05:43My lord, I'm so scared.
05:46Don't be afraid.
05:47I'm coming.
05:49Step out that door.
05:50And you'll regret it.
05:52The only thing I regret is swearing that oath to you five years ago.
05:57Orion.
05:58You just took the step toward your own fall.
06:10Orion.
06:12My lord.
06:13You came.
06:14Don't talk.
06:15I'm taking you to the Hall of Sacred Healing.
06:17You can't go to the Hall.
06:19Lady Elanet gave the order.
06:21No angel is allowed to heal me.
06:23If you go there, you'll be defying her command.
06:26They'll exile you too.
06:27If I go to the Hall, they'll discover my core has been corrupted this whole time.
06:33I've hidden it for so long.
06:37I can't let it all fall apart now.
06:39A little wound like this, I'm not worth you risking everything for me.
06:44She can't do this to you.
06:46You've done nothing wrong.
06:47Nothing wrong.
06:47I fell in love with the wrong person.
06:50Doesn't that count?
06:52My lord.
06:52I don't regret it.
06:54Even if I die, I'll never regret meeting you.
06:57If only I had met you sooner.
07:03Viola!
07:06I'll save you.
07:08I swear I'll save you.
07:09Break the covenant.
07:11Then form a new one with Viola.
07:13Use my light to repair her core.
07:16It's the only way.
07:19But if I do this,
07:22I'll have betrayed Eleanor completely.
07:26The covenant is eternal.
07:30Eleanor.
07:31I'm sorry.
07:45He broke it after all.
07:48What he doesn't know is...
07:50His fall is already beyond saving.
07:58Viola,
08:00in the name of the Guardian,
08:01I bind myself to you in covenant.
08:12My lord's light.
08:15It's so warm.
08:17Warmer than I ever imagined.
08:22She pushed me to this.
08:24Eleanor broke the covenant first.
08:26This isn't betrayal.
08:27No, it's not.
08:32Orion.
08:33Viola.
08:35By Article 7 of the Codex of the Celestial Sanctuary,
08:38you are both suspected of violating the covenant's decree.
08:42You are to be detained pending further examination by the Hall of Sacred Healing.
08:49Detained, Eleanor.
08:50Have you lost your mind?
08:52Yesterday you attacked her,
08:53and I let it go.
08:54Now you show up with guards?
08:56Because I broke the covenant?
08:58Take them.
09:02Try it!
09:05Elinir, I know you hate me for breaking the covenant,
09:07but that was my fault,
09:09not hers.
09:10Lady Elinir,
09:12you must punish someone.
09:14Punish me alone.
09:16Lord Arian was only trying to save me.
09:18He did nothing wrong.
09:21Viola, you don't have to make excuses for her.
09:26Eleanor,
09:27you used your authority at the Hall of Sacred Healing
09:30to block Viola from receiving aid.
09:31You are not fit to stand as the head of the angels.
09:34I demand a trial of sacred light against you.
09:36My lord,
09:37please don't go this far for me.
09:39Viola,
09:41she's not fit to judge us.
09:43She's the one who should be judged.
09:47Fine.
09:48I accept.
09:50A trial of sacred light.
09:52All three of us.
09:53But one condition.
09:55Once the verdict is given,
09:57no one objects.
09:59Before the light,
10:00there is no privilege.
10:02No favor.
10:04Agreed.
10:05No, no.
10:07I can't undergo the trial.
10:09If I do,
10:10I'll be completely exposed.
10:12My lord.
10:13My wound.
10:14It hasn't healed yet.
10:17Don't be afraid.
10:18I'm with you.
10:19The light only purges evil.
10:21You're innocent.
10:23You'll be fine.
10:23I...
10:24Viola.
10:26What are you so afraid of?
10:28I...
10:29I'm not afraid.
10:30I'm just...
10:31worried about the lord.
10:33Then let's go.
10:41I'll make you regret this.
10:47The trial of sacred light.
10:50The pure shall stand unharmed.
10:53The corruptage will burn in agony.
10:57Elinor.
10:58Today's the day you fall from your throne.
11:01Orion.
11:03You should be worrying about yourself.
11:06What?
11:06Let the trial begin.
11:08The first to be judged,
11:10Eleanor.
11:13Go ahead.
11:14Keep pretending.
11:16Once the light hits you,
11:17all your jealousy,
11:19your hatred,
11:19your hypocrisy,
11:20it'll all be laid bare.
11:23Oh!
11:30Elinor.
11:31Light unturnished.
11:34Pure.
11:35Impossible!
11:36She clearly...
11:37Orion.
11:38You don't know me at all.
11:40The second to be judged,
11:42Viola.
11:44I...
11:46I...
11:46I won't.
11:47I refuse.
11:49Viola.
11:50The light won't harm the innocent.
11:52What are you afraid of?
11:54My lord.
11:56I can't go in there.
11:59Why?
11:59You're innocent, aren't you?
12:01Because she's already fallen.
12:03What did you say?
12:05Viola's core was corrupted long ago.
12:07No!
12:11No!
12:12No!
12:16No!
12:16Falling!
12:18And you, Orion.
12:21The moment you touched her,
12:24you were infected too.
12:30No!
12:34Our wings!
12:35How did they rot like that?
12:37A fallen?
12:38She's been hiding in the sanctuary all this time.
12:41Lord Orion bound himself to a fallen.
12:44Has he lost his mind?
12:47My lord.
12:48I'm not.
12:50I didn't.
12:51I grew up in the sanctuary.
12:54My wings have never shown a single stain.
12:56You're the first person I've ever formed a covenant with.
13:03My faith in the light has never wavered.
13:07How could I possibly be corrupted?
13:10The first.
13:11She's right.
13:13I checked her covenant record.
13:14It was spotless.
13:16How could an angel who just formed a covenant suddenly fall?
13:21You're not corrupted.
13:23You're not corrupted.
13:24I believe you.
13:26Viola could never have fallen.
13:28You're the one who's lying.
13:30A guardian of the firmament.
13:32Throwing away Lady Elaneth for a fallen pathetic.
13:37Shut your mouth.
13:39The light doesn't lie.
13:41The light doesn't lie, but people do.
13:43You've held the seat of first angel for far too long.
13:46The hall of sacred reeling.
13:47The tribunal.
13:48The right to interpret the codex.
13:50It's all in your hands.
13:51Faking a light reading.
13:52That's nothing for you.
13:58Orion, the result of a trial of sacred light cannot be altered by any power.
14:04This is the unbreakable law of the Celestial Sanctuary.
14:09Unbreakable law, High Priest.
14:10How long have you served here?
14:12Do you honestly believe the first angel, sitting on that throne for 20 years, couldn't find a way around it?
14:20Rage is making him stupid.
14:23Good.
14:24Do you all see it now?
14:25This woman!
14:26Elanor!
14:27She trapped me with a covenant for five years!
14:30And the moment I broke it, she set out to destroy me!
14:34She's jealous of Viola, so she invented this lie about corruption.
14:41Viola is innocent.
14:42She did nothing wrong.
14:43The only guilty one here is Elanor.
14:47Abusing her power.
14:49Consumed by jealousy.
14:50She doesn't deserve this seat, first angel.
14:59Lady Elanor.
15:00This is surveillance footage from the Lower Sanctum's covert posts.
15:03Three months' worth.
15:05Viola has been using Lower Realm Inspections as cover.
15:07Every seven days, she slips across the demonic border.
15:10Meets with the same male demon.
15:11Their relationship goes far beyond official business.
15:15Orion.
15:17This is the woman you fell for.
15:19If she's innocent, then I don't deserve to be first angel.
15:24My lord, please, don't fight the entire sanctuary for me.
15:30For you, I would fight the whole world.
15:36Orion.
15:37You claim I faked the light's verdict.
15:40Then answer me this.
15:43Did I also fake the dark purple spreading across her wings?
15:49That's...
15:50That's...
15:51That's from when you attacked her with sacred light yesterday!
15:54Sacred light leaves dark purple corruption marks, Orion.
15:57You've lived in the celestial sanctuary for 30 years.
16:00You can't tell the difference between light and corruption anymore.
16:02You use some...
16:03Some method I don't know about.
16:05You know more about manipulating light than I do.
16:08I can't even imagine what you're capable of!
16:11So...
16:12Let me get this straight.
16:13Not only did I fake the light's verdict, I also faked the corruption marks on Viola's wings.
16:20I faked the corruption readings at the Hall of Sacred Healing, too.
16:24Yes, you can fake anything!
16:26You run the hall!
16:27You can alter the corruption data however you want!
16:30But corruption records are generated by the light itself.
16:35No one can change them.
16:36I can't...
16:36Shh!
16:37Shh!
16:38Shh!
16:38Stay out of this.
16:40So what are you going to do about it?
16:43What?
16:44You say I faked everything.
16:46So what's your move?
16:47File a complaint?
16:49Appeal?
16:51Or...
16:51Bring your legion against me.
16:55Elinor.
16:57Don't push me.
16:58And if I do?
17:01Lord Orion, the third legion is assembled and awaiting your orders.
17:07He's actually going to use the legion.
17:09This is insane.
17:11Is he trying to start a civil war?
17:13Elinor.
17:14I'll ask you one last time.
17:16Do you admit that Viola's corruption is your fabrication?
17:20No.
17:21Fine.
17:23Third legion, move into position around the altar of sacred light.
17:26No one enters or leaves without my command.
17:28Understood.
17:31Lady Elinor.
17:33Wait.
17:34Orion.
17:35Do you know what you're doing?
17:37I'm protecting the innocent.
17:39No.
17:42You're digging your own grave.
17:44Orion.
17:46Stand down.
17:47There's still time.
17:50High Priest.
17:52Did she buy you off too?
17:53No one has bought me.
17:55I've simply lived long enough to see too many men like you.
17:59What's that supposed to mean?
18:02Angry men always believe they see the truth.
18:06But anger only blinds you faster.
18:09High Priest, I'm not here to debate you.
18:15If it's a fight you want, it's a fight you'll get.
18:29What is this?
18:30Lord Orion's going to war with the entire sanctuary over a fallen?
18:33Don't you see?
18:34This isn't about the fallen.
18:35It's about pride.
18:37Lady Elinor humiliated him in public.
18:39He wants payback.
18:41Whatever the reason, nobody wins in a civil war.
18:48My lord.
18:52I'm so scared.
18:56Don't be.
18:58I've got you.
19:03What are you doing?
19:1920 years.
19:2147 trials of sacred light.
19:24All pure.
19:26Orion, you say I faked today's result.
19:28So what about the past 20 years?
19:30Did I fake all of those too?
19:36You say I tampered with the corruption records.
19:39So did I falsify every single record from the Hall of Sacred Healing for the past decade?
19:45You say I used my power to suppress Viola.
19:48So are the 3,700 angels the Hall has healed all lying for me too?
19:5220 years, 47 trials, all pure.
19:55If she really could fake the light's verdict, then the entire judgment system of the sanctuary is a joke.
20:01But Lord Orion doesn't seem like he's lying either.
20:05You, you planned all this, didn't you?
20:08You knew this day would come, so you got all the evidence ready in advance.
20:12I didn't prepare anything.
20:14You're the one who handed me all the evidence.
20:17I did not!
20:19Do you want to destroy me?
20:20Then tell me, why did Viola's corruption happen?
20:24She, it's impossible.
20:25She can't have fallen.
20:27She's so kind, so gentle.
20:29How could she be a fallen?
20:31But her wings, those dark purple marks, the light's verdict,
20:38it all points to corruption.
20:40Maybe Viola's corruption is real, but it's not her fault, it's yours!
20:46You attacked her with sacred light!
20:48You damaged her core, and that's how the corruption got in!
20:53You're even dumber than I thought.
20:56Show him the report!
20:58Lord Orion, this is the record of Viola's core examinations from the past three months.
21:04Please, see for yourself.
21:16What does it say?
21:19It says Viola's core began corrupting three months ago.
21:22Three months ago, but that's...
21:24That's when Lord Orion's covenant with Lady Elinus was still intact!
21:29Viola approached Lord Orion while she was already corrupted.
21:31She infected him on purpose!
21:37Viola, is this true?
21:39Viola, say something!
21:41My lord, I didn't.
21:43I swear I didn't.
21:48Lady Elinurd, I know you hate me.
21:52I know I shouldn't have gotten close to Lord Orion, but I'm not corrupted.
21:57I'm really not.
21:58These marks, they only appeared after you attacked me with sacred light yesterday.
22:03Before that, my wings were clean!
22:06You can check.
22:08You can ask anyone who's ever seen me.
22:13She has a point.
22:16Those marks did only show up yesterday, but the records show corruption from three months ago.
22:22Records can be faked, but those marks on her wings, those don't lie.
22:29Nice performance.
22:30Nice performance.
22:30Too bad you can fool him, but you can't fool me.
22:34I grew up in the sanctuary.
22:37Both my parents served in the hall of sacred healing.
22:41I've devoted my whole life to the light.
22:46How could I possibly fall?
22:49My lord, please.
22:52You have to believe me.
22:53I didn't do anything.
22:57She's right.
22:58She grew up here.
23:00I know her parents.
23:01How could she be a fallen?
23:03And that woman, she's too calm.
23:06Unrationally calm.
23:08What kind of betrayed woman is this composed?
23:12Unless she planned all of this from the very beginning.
23:20Elinor!
23:22What did you do to Viola?
23:24I did nothing.
23:26Nothing?
23:27Then where did the marks on her wings come from?
23:30Where did the three-month-old corruption records came from?
23:33The marks on her wings are signs of corruption.
23:35The records are generated automatically by the light.
23:39I did nothing.
23:41I simply discovered the truth.
23:44Truth!
23:45Truth!
23:45Your so-called truth is a lie you made up to barn and an innocent angel has fallen!
23:49And nail me to the post as a traitor!
23:53All right.
23:55Why are you yelling?
23:56What are you so afraid of?
24:00You're afraid of the truth.
24:02You're afraid the person you chose to believe has been lying to you from the very start.
24:09Shut up!
24:11You can't face it, so you scream at me.
24:14You can't admit you were fooled, so you choose to believe her tears.
24:17You can't bear the consequences of breaking the covenant, so you pin it all on me!
24:22Elinor!
24:23I'm warning you!
24:25Stop talking!
24:27Orion.
24:28You're no longer a guardian of the ferment.
24:31You're just a pitiful man being eaten alive by anger and guilt.
24:36Stand down!
24:37But-
24:38Stand down!
24:40You think you've won.
24:41I'm not competing with you.
24:43Not competing?
24:44Then why are you trying to destroy me?
24:46I didn't destroy you.
24:48You destroyed yourself.
24:50My lord, please, don't fight Lady Elinette.
24:54For me, I'll accept the judgment, even if it's not fair.
24:59No.
25:01I won't let them hurt you.
25:03You've ever well seen it.
25:04Elinor abused her power.
25:05She faked the light's records.
25:07She slandered an innocent angel.
25:09If she can do this to Viola today, she can do it to any one of you tomorrow.
25:15The laws of the Celestial Sanctuary exist to protect every angel.
25:19Not to be a tool for one person.
25:21If we let Elinor trample on those laws today,
25:24then tomorrow there will be no justice left in the sanctuary.
25:28Lord Orion is right!
25:30We can't let Elinor abuse her authority!
25:33Yes!
25:33The result of a trial of Sacred Light can't be decided by one person alone!
25:38Protect Lord Orion!
25:39Protect Viola!
25:40Anger is a plague.
25:43It spreads faster than corruption.
25:46Elinor, I'll give you one last chance.
25:50Drop the charges against Viola, admit you faked the light's records.
25:53Or else.
25:56Or else what?
25:57You'll use your legion against the entire sanctuary?
26:00If I have to.
26:02Orion, have you ever stopped to ask yourself one question?
26:07What?
26:08Why are you threatening me with your legion?
26:10If you truly believe Viola is innocent, if you truly believe you haven't fallen,
26:14then why not prove it yourself?
26:16What are you saying?
26:17You know the rules of the trial of Sacred Light.
26:20The Pure stand unharmed.
26:22The Corrupted burn in agony.
26:24I've already taken the trial, and you saw the result.
26:27Pure, now it's your turn.
26:30You say Viola's innocent.
26:31You say you haven't fallen.
26:33Then step into the light.
26:35Let the light prove your innocence.
26:40Orion, do you dare?
26:48No, he can't go in there.
26:51If he does, it's all over.
26:54She's baiting me.
26:56This is a trap.
26:57I can't fall for it.
26:59But if I back down now, everyone will think I'm afraid.
27:03What will my angels think?
27:05What will my legion think?
27:06You think I'm scared?
27:08I didn't say you were scared.
27:10I asked, do you dare?
27:13Of course I dare.
27:17My lord, don't.
27:20Even if you step into the light, it proves nothing.
27:23Lady Elinard faked my results.
27:24She can fake yours too.
27:26She's trying to destroy you.
27:28She's right.
27:29This is what you want, isn't it, Elinard?
27:35Orion, if I wanted to destroy you, I wouldn't go to all this trouble.
27:39Have you forgotten?
27:40I gave you your position as guardian.
27:43What I can give, I can take away.
27:47I don't need to fake any records.
27:49One word from me and you lose everything.
27:53Lady Elinor has a point.
27:55If she wanted to destroy Lord Orion, she wouldn't need all this.
27:58Yeah, she could just strip his title and be done with it.
28:06Maybe, maybe you didn't want to strip my title outright because that would be too obvious.
28:09You wanted to disgrace me.
28:11You wanted everyone to know I was punished for betraying you.
28:14You wanted me to die a humiliating death.
28:16Orion, you're giving me far too much credit.
28:19I don't have that kind of time.
28:20Orion, then why put me through this trial?
28:22If you just wanted to deal with Viola, you could have arrested her and been done with it.
28:27Why humiliate me in front of everyone?
28:29Orion, you say I faked everything.
28:31Fine, I won't use the light's verdict.
28:34I won't use the records from the hall.
28:35Let me show you the truth another way.
28:38A way you can see for yourself.
28:39What way?
28:40Summon your sacred light.
28:42What?
28:43Summon your light.
28:44Draw upon the power within you.
28:45Call forth sacred light.
28:47If you can summon light that is pure, then I will believe you are innocent.
28:51And Vyra too.
28:52I will drop all charges and let you both walk free.
28:57That's it.
28:59That's it.
29:02You think I can?
29:07I must have slipped up.
29:09One more time.
29:19Impossible.
29:20This can't be happening.
29:27He can't summon light.
29:28That means his core's ours already been eaten away by corruption.
29:33He really is infected.
29:36You!
29:38What did you do to me?
