Short filmTranscript
00:00My sister conspired with our parents to kill me, then married my husband just as she'd always
00:05wished for. Little does she know, in only a few minutes, she will die at this wedding that was
00:10originally meant to be mine. She egged my mother on to bring me a cup of poisoned wine. After I
00:15died, they stripped me of my wedding gown. Twelve years ago, my father made a blood pact with the
00:21white crow earl. He promised a daughter to the Blackthorn Forest after 16 years. My sister saw
00:28the earl's face once. Now she's obsessed. She threatened to kill herself, unless she could
00:32marry him instead of me. She looked at the wedding dress and smiled happily. Horrified, gaping, shocked,
00:39dazed. But they don't know the truth. I'm the person the earl has been searching for for 200 years.
00:44I'm floating in the air now, looking at my own corpse. My white dress looks like a bloody flower on
00:49the
00:49ground. My parents are busy undressing me. They want to put my clothes on my sister Isolde. They're
00:54actually relieved. Good thing we used poison to kill her slowly. At least we didn't ruin the dress
01:00those tailors worked so hard on. Isolde puts on my dress, looking like a perfect angel.
01:06Father, mother, am I prettier than my sister? Will the earl love me? Your sister in Solo was plain
01:12and a stutterer. She's nothing compared to you. But you chose this over all the noble boys in the city.
01:19Mother, you don't understand. Suddenly, thousands of crows appear to murder. They cover the rocks and
01:25trees. A shadow servant in black armor walks up. Its voice sounds like a screaming owl.
01:32Why do I smell human blood? My parents are sweating and panicking.
01:36I float over to the servant, hope this dark creature can see me.
01:41I accidentally cut my finger. I'm sorry for staining the earl's land.
01:48Are you the bride, Ms. Isolde? Yes, that's me. When I hear my name, I get so excited.
01:54It's me! I spin around him. I'm the real Isolde!
01:58That's right. My father sent me to honor the blood pact from 16 years ago. If you lie to the
02:04count,
02:04they will skin you alive and crush your bones. Your soul will burn in the shadow fires forever.
02:09You will never find peace. It's so much worse than I thought. But Isolde is acting crazy.
02:14I am Isolde, the bride the count has waited 16 years for. It is time. Bride, get in the carriage.
02:21Isolde puts on her silver veil. Countless ravens fly down from the sky.
02:28It's around the black wooden carriage as it bends deep into the dark forest. I can't chase after.
02:32My soul is stuck right here, trapped near my own corpse. Then, the shadows on the mountain just vanish.
02:39A wedding in the middle of nowhere. She won't stop sobbing. At White Raven Castle. My poor daughter.
02:4820 years ago, my father was a failure. We were dirt poor. Then, he met the count in the woods.
02:56A man with silver
02:57hair, cursed to live forever. The count offered him a deal, one wish, for a heavy price. My father begged
03:02for it. He
03:02wanted to be a nobleman. He wanted power. He promised to pay any price. The count told him,
03:06give me your daughter. When she turned 16, sent her to the forest to be my bride. My father didn't
03:11even
03:11blink. He said yes. He signed that blood bill right then and there. The year I was born, my parents
03:17didn't celebrate. They just felt relieved. To them, I was just a sacrifice to finish the deal. They dumped
03:22me with a nanny in a tiny side room and ignored me. Three years later, my sister Isolde was born.
03:27She was
03:27perfect, beautiful, smart, and talented. But me, I was plain. I didn't even look like my parents. I
03:33even had a stutter. They hated me for it. They banned me from the main house and wouldn't let me
03:36call
03:36them mom or dad. I spent my whole life begging for their love. I pretended the tree was my father
03:41holding it. Finally, I turned 16. It was time to marry the count from the blackthorn forest.
03:46Only then did my parents finally breathe a sigh of relief. Before I left, my mother brought me a farewell
03:52drink. It was poison. I wanted their love so badly that I did everything to please them.
03:56I never suspected the drink. I felt so honored that I finished it in one gulp. On the way to
04:01the wedding, the poison kicked in. The pain was unbearable. I cried and clawed at the carriage
04:05until my fingers were bloody. I died in agony, just like the plant. My insides rotted and black
04:11blood spilled from my lips. Finally, I stopped moving. My parents rushed to the woods. They didn't
04:16even wait for my body to get cold. They stripped the wedding dress off my corpse for my sister.
04:20That dress was covered in gold and jewels. They had made it for Isolde all along. She had seen the
04:26place. She wanted to steal my place and be his wife. My parents treated her like a precious gem.
04:33After she threw a few tantrums and went on a hunger strike, they gave in. They planned this for my
04:37wedding night, wait for me to die, then let Isolde take my place. I was their flesh and blood too,
04:42but I never felt a spark of love. To them, I wasn't even worth one of Isolde's fingers. On my
04:46wedding
04:47night, there were no blessings or celebrations. I died all alone, murdered by my own mother and father.
04:53This forest is full of dark creatures and ghosts. We can't leave the body here or the church will
04:58find out. Do we have to carry her back down the mountain? Throw her down. We need to hide the
05:03evidence. My father looked over the edge of a deep, dark cliff. Without a second thought or a bit of
05:09pity, they picked me up and tossed my body off. My parents just sighed in relief, wiped their sweat,
05:14and actually smiled. Finally, that nuisance is gone for good.
05:20My body is shattered into pieces. Suddenly, the chains in my soul are gone. I'm free. As my
05:25parents hurry down the mountain, I drift aimlessly through the night. I follow the curious count,
05:30It's a ghostly wedding march, leading me all the way to the castle at the peak. The great hall is
05:34filled with stunning roses. The count actually cares about this wedding. My parents lied. I said he only wanted
05:38to eat my soul and tear my flesh. Isolde is wearing my wedding dress. There's a tiny bloodstain on the
05:43collar from when I died, but it's hidden in the rose patterns. But I saw him first. The man who
05:47was
05:47supposed to be my husband. He wears a crimson suit, and his long silver hair flows down to his ankles.
05:51A silver mask covers half his face. They look like frozen lake water in the spring. It's breathtaking.
05:56No human man could ever compare. The moment I see him, my soul feels something strange. Like, I've known him
06:02before.
06:04The count suddenly looks my way. He's alert. But then Isolde grabs his hand and whispers,
06:10her voice is sweet as honey now. Eric, I'm scared. Yet she is cruel to me to the bone.
06:16You're playing and you can't even speak right. Only I deserve to be his wife.
06:22He looks back at Isolde. Don't be afraid. I'm here. It sounds so familiar under her veil,
06:27and I wonder if he saw me or just thought I was some random ghost. Eric and Isolde joined forever.
06:34The blood pact my father signed twenty years ago floats into the air. It glows with a bright golden
06:39light. I see his bloody fingerprint on the bottom. But the light doesn't fade. The contract isn't
06:45finished. Suddenly, a bolt of divine lightning strikes a lot. The shadow servants scatter in pure terror.
06:54Isolde is shaking, too. She tries to hide in Eric's arms, but she's too slow. Suddenly,
06:58Eric reveals his true form. A cursed shadow creature. Black, feathered wings erupt from his
07:03back. His eyes turn from icy green to a deep blood red. He pins Isolde down with his shadow power.
07:10One wrong move and he crush her into nothing. Isolde stammers, paralyzed with fear.
07:15Eric, my husband, my husband. Finally, she regrets it. You are not Isolde. Where did you hide her?
07:26Tell me! Isolde struggles, her face turning pale as she sobs. Husband, I am Isolde. She thinks if she
07:34keeps lying, she'll be safe. After all, the Count had never seen me before today. Eric looks like he's
07:42losing control. His red eyes are filled with pure rage. Who are you? Isolde doesn't look like you.
07:47You smell like Isolde's blood. Where is she? Facing a cursed immortal, Isolde finally snaps.
07:54Fine! I'm not Isolde, but I love you. I don't care that you're cursed. I'm not afraid of you.
08:04I just wanted to be your wife. I'm more beautiful than her. I can write poetry. I can paint.
08:11Isora is nothing. She's a stuttering coward. She's ugly and useless. The contract just said a
08:18daughter would marry you. I'm the only one worthy of you. But as soon as her fingers touch his shadow,
08:23he blasts her back. His voice is as cold as ice. Filthy human. How dare you touch me.
08:32Even as a ghost floating above, his voice makes me shiver.
08:38I don't understand why the Count is so obsessed with me. I don't know if I should be glad that
08:41I
08:42died on the way. Isolde lets out a blood-curdling scream.
08:45My servants warned you. Steal her identity and you will be skinned alive. Your soul will never rest.
08:53No! I'm too beautiful! You wouldn't hurt me! I only did it because I love you!
09:00You tried to steal what wasn't yours. You deserve to die.
09:05Isolde's body floats up, right in front of my ghost. The shadow birds slice into her,
09:10turning her blood into a red mist until only white bones are left. A gasp in her. Her death is
09:1510,000
09:15times more terrifying than mine was. Hearing my gasp, Eric stops. He slows down his brutal movements
09:20and steps in front of me. I see Isolde's ghost. She begs me. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have stolen your
09:28life.
09:28Please, ask the Count to let me go! I float over to Eric. I try to speak to him. He
09:33keeps his head down,
09:33blood dripping from his silver hair. He can't seem to see me, but he sees Isolde. Bloodstains his
09:37silver mask. He smiles, showing his sharp teeth. Last chance. Where is Isolde? He raises his hand,
09:44gathering a ball of dark, ghostly fire. Isolde's terrified. She died on the way here!
09:49Everything goes silent. Then, the dark fire is falling. Isolde is silent.
09:52She seems to die. Eric is the white ribbon. He is powerful enough to touch the realm of gods. But
09:57in this
09:57moment, the spirit seems to shatter. He looks like he's going insane. He rushes past me. I follow Eric
10:04as he stumbles down the mountain path. He's so frantic, he forgets he can teleport through the
10:08shadows. He has a hard fall, but he doesn't even use his powers to heal. He just crawls back up
10:13and
10:13follows the scent of blood to find me. He finds what's left of me at the bottom of the deep
10:17cliff.
10:18A broken, bloody mess. White roses begin to fall from the sky, covering my body. Eric looks up at the
10:26moon and lets out a roar of pure, hopeless agony. His green eyes look hollow, like two empty holes.
10:30Tears stream down his face. I haven't hurt a soul in 500 years. Why won't God let her live?
10:37I guess immortals are just like humans. When their hearts break, they cry. I reach out to wipe his
10:40tears, but my ghost hand passes right through him. He still can't see me. But then, he senses a ripple
10:46in
10:46the air. He snaps awake, looking everywhere for a sign of life. His voice echoes off the cliffs,
10:59sounding desperate and broken. He looks exhausted and defeated as he limps back to my body. He lets
11:04go of his shadow form and turns back into the pale, elegant count. His shoulders shake with quiet,
11:08muffled sobs. As he cries, he uses his dark powers to stitch my broken body back together. Piece by piece,
11:13fixes me. He lifts his pale face and stares at me. Izola, I will bring you back, no matter the
11:19cost.
11:20Suddenly, a memory hits me. Ever since I was five, I felt like someone was watching over me. Whenever
11:25the servants bullied me, they'd suddenly have the worst luck. They started calling me a curse, but I
11:29didn't care. When I was a child, Izolda and I both fell into a frozen fire. Everyone rushed to save
11:37her. I sank deeper
11:38and deeper into the freezing water. Just as I passed out, someone grabbed me through the icy water and
11:43floating hair. Those incredibly gentle, icy green eyes. For days after that, I was stuck in bed with
11:49a fever. Don't be afraid, Izola. I'm right here. Someone stayed by my side. Drink this. It has the
11:55power to heal you. He whispered in my ear. While I was half conscious, I heard Izolda coming to my
11:59room
11:59to pick a fight, but she just stood there for a moment, then ran away in a panic. That must
12:02have been
12:02when she saw him. She saw Erik, the white raven count. He had been watching over me and protecting
12:06me for years. Erik pulls out his soul core and presses it against my blue lips. I've read about
12:12this in old books. If he saves me, he will die. I scream at him to stop, but the glowing
12:17white core
12:18slides into my body anyway. Still, I don't wake up. Erik is stunned. Without his core, he gasps.
12:25Suddenly, a massive force pulls me. I'm yanked back into a body, and my head spins. I'm not in my
12:30old home.
12:30A girl in white armor, her face splattered with blood, runs into the room.
12:33Sister! Are you still feeling weak from that shadow demon hunt? Before I can even process
12:38what's happening, this body nods instinctively. Guess what dad and uncle caught today? You'll
12:43never guess. A shadow demon? A dream eater? Better. They caught a cursed immortal. The...
12:51the white raven count. We're giving him to the queen for a massive reward. Holding my injured arm,
12:58I wander through the mansion and listen to the servants gossip. I'm not in my own time anymore.
13:04This is the kingdom of Carindia 500 years ago. It is a world filled with dark magic and monsters.
13:11I walk into the great hall, which is covered in holy charms. In the center sits a massive cage.
13:17Inside is a man with silver hair as white as snow. He smells me and opens his eyes.
13:22They are a cold, deep, icy green. Like a bottomless pit. I stumble back,
13:27the name escaping my lips before I can stop it. Eric?
13:31This is him. This is Eric. 500 years before we ever met.
13:36A little monster hunter? How do you know my name? I'm Isola. 500 years now, you gave up your soul
13:44core to save my life. My soul core? I've spent a thousand years feeding on souls. You think I'd
13:49give up a chance at godhead for a human girl? Angel Hunter, I've lived longer than you can imagine.
13:55I've eaten more people than you've ever met. If you're going to lie, try a better story.
13:59The Eric from 500 years ago is wild and dangerous. Can you send me back? The other Eric? He's still
14:06waiting for me. He narrows his eyes, looking curious. Get closer. Get closer. Let me smell you.
14:15Black blood drips from a massive burn on his arm. I freeze, my heart breaking for him. Even 500 years
14:20ago, he's just as reckless. Strange. You actually smell like my soul core.
14:29Little hunter, who exactly are you? I turn around, trying to touch his hand,
14:33but he pulls back. He looks me up and down with those lazy, green eyes. You're just a scrawny kid.
14:38Not even as pretty as my shadow servants. How could I ever be obsessed with you? Why,
14:44why would I rip out my own heart for a girl like this? I'm still young. I'll grow up. Maybe
14:49I'll be a
14:50great beauty one day. Fine. I'll wait for you to grow up. Human lives are short anyway. Just a blink
14:59of an
14:59eye. It might be fun to watch. Suddenly, the heavy doors swing open. A man in a sky blue robe
15:07walks in,
15:08glowing with holy light. I whisper. The memories hit me. He's the greatest monster hunter of this
15:12generation. With his incredible talent and holy power, he's the one who captured Eric.
15:16Brother Cassian. Did he try to hurt you? He asks, his voice like ice. No! I shout, trying to explain.
15:24Vermin! But he pulls out a heavy black iron whip. He lashes out at Eric. A monster is a monster.
15:30You're violent by nature. I need to teach you a lesson. Eric doesn't even try to dodge. He just
15:35closes his eyes. A mocking smile on his beautiful, pale face. I can't take it. I grab Cassian's arm.
15:41Brother, stop! Don't hit him! In my memory, Cassian and I grew up together. We studied monster
15:46hunting at the church. He's always been sweet to me. Leah, you're still hurt. The dark howarder here
15:52is toxic. Go outside. It's about to get bloody, and I don't want you to be scared. Suddenly, Eric snaps
15:59his eyes open. Take your filthy hands off her. Don't touch her. That pushes Cassian over the edge. He draws
16:04his
16:04demon-slaying sword. I turn pale with fear. Cassian uses a spell, and a wave of holy light pushes me
16:10right out of the hall.
16:11The heavy door slams shut and locks. No matter how hard I try, I can't get back in.
