00:09That Storm Dragon's gone mad! It can't be tamed!
00:47Vida's here!
01:05Good girl.
01:09Lord of Dragons!
01:11Lord of Dragons!
01:24Brother! I've returned with you!
01:40For a hundred years, Valkar has not seen the like of him. A true Lord of Dragons. Vidar of Valkar,
01:48my firstborn!
01:50Lord of Dragons!
01:52From now on, you shall take my place as Chieftron of Valkar.
01:56What is this, Father?
01:59Your Father's already had the field cleared. The beasts that bent the knee were taken. The ones that would not?
02:06Well, you can see the rest.
02:07A dragon that will not submit has no place among us. That is the law of Valk.
02:21This is not taming. A crown raised on slaughter is no crown of mine.
02:29Vidar! Vidar!
02:30You ought to be the Chieftain of Valkar. Would you turn your back on your own people?
02:35Vidar!
02:39Vidar!
02:42Vidar!
02:43Vidar!
02:57Vidar!
03:00Vidar!
03:01All of you, move yourselves!
03:03This is the only dragon stable on the Olderwood border,
03:06and every beast in it had better be tended proper.
03:09Yes, Mr. Historian!
03:51That's General Cedric Halevan, the youngest ever to command Olderwills Dragon Knights.
03:56Five years unbeaten, no drac has ever thrown him.
04:04They say he stands second only to the Lord of Dragons himself.
04:07With him leading the riders, Aldovin could crush anything in the sky.
04:11What's he doing in a frontier stable?
04:14Change the armor. I want it polished.
04:17Three coats of whale oil.
04:19At once, General!
04:38Vidar of Valkyra.
04:41Chieftain of the Vikings, Vidar of Valkyra.
04:46Lord of Dragons.
04:47Now calling himself Vidar Gangler.
04:50Five years gone, and I've finally found you.
04:54You've got the wrong man.
04:58Five years ago, you walked away from your place as chieftain of Valkyra and left your people behind.
05:04After that, you've vanished without a trace.
05:08Vidar.
05:12I am asking you to join the Dragon Knights.
05:15I'd surrender the High Command itself to you.
05:19Everyone says I am Aldovin's great hope.
05:22But if war comes with the Valkyra, I know the truth.
05:24There is only one man alive who could lead us to victory.
05:28You.
05:32I said...
05:33I said you've got the wrong man, General.
05:48This is the High Master's Seal of Aldovin.
05:50If you change your mind, come to the Royal Fortress.
05:58You.
06:25Has no one a free hand?
06:30I need something delivered.
06:35Word just came in.
06:36The militia riders are in urgent need of a saddle.
06:39Can you ride a dragon?
06:40Not in five years.
06:41That means you can.
06:43Hurry up.
06:44They need it there at once.
06:49How fast?
06:50As fast as you can bloody make it.
06:57Can you run over there?
06:58Sorry, so, let's put your hands around.
07:10Get that down!
07:13There's no one, hey, cool.
07:13He was his only screaming...
07:17Oh.
07:20I wish he's qualifying experience.
07:21I love this camera.
07:27Listen well. There'll be war at the front soon enough, and war requires dragons.
07:31That militia camp ahead keeps a whole stock of them.
07:33Broken to the saddle, strong in the body, fit for supply runs, patrol and message flight.
07:37They'll serve well enough, and if they fall in the doing, they'll not be sorely mic'd.
07:41Huzzah!
07:43The camp belongs to Gareth Hort.
07:45The old wretch is stubborn, and none too eager to bend the knee.
07:49Do you truly believe he'll yield up his dragons peacefully?
07:51Rest easy, Captain. I've already laid the ground. He'll hand over the dragons.
07:59Blast the knights! First man there has first choice of the stock!
08:11Your hand has grown finer, Corrin. There are few in the Royal Dragon Knights who could match your seat now.
08:20There's a rider gaining on us.
08:22Gaining on us? Don't be absurd.
08:29That's an old pack, Dake. Blind in one eye.
08:32How in God's name is such a beast keeping pace with us?
08:35A blind old carrier thinks to overtake me.
08:49You're in the way.
08:54You're in the way.
08:56Corrin! Go on!
08:59Too late!
09:11He's a madman!
09:13How in God's name did he do that?
09:16What sort of beast is that?
09:18How in God's name did he do that?
09:20What sort of beast is that?
09:22The beast is nothing uncommon.
09:25The rider
09:26is something extraordinary.
09:32Leave it.
09:34We've worked to do.
09:41Hold it down!
09:42That's Sir Corrin's high-grade dragon in our camp.
09:45It needs to get out in one piece today.
09:47One slip and the whole camp's in ruins.
09:50It's too strong.
09:51The chains won't hold.
09:52Where's the saddle?
09:53Why isn't it here yet?
09:55The stable's sending it across the Silent Gorge.
09:57Dangerous route.
09:58Even at full speed will take at least half an hour.
10:01I just released the Messenger Pigeon ten minutes ago!
10:05That sound.
10:07It's the old blind dragon from the base.
10:09The saddle has arrived?
10:10Impossible.
10:10That old beast has fought alongside me for years.
10:13Nobody can tame it.
10:16Wait.
10:16It really isn't.
10:35You rode this one?
10:37Aye.
10:39How'd you get here so fast?
10:42Well,
10:44I-I-I took a shortcut.
10:47Didn't know there's any shortcut through the gorge.
10:50Interesting.
10:53Step back, stable hand!
10:54Alara, tighten it!
10:56Sir Corrin's knights will be here any moment!
10:58We can't let them see their dragon in a frenzy!
11:04Stop staring her down.
11:05In a rage,
11:06dragons see that as a threat.
11:08You'll get thrown off.
11:09One wrong move
11:10and those chains could shred her wings.
11:11Silence!
11:12What would a hoof-filer know of dragon work?
11:15I'm a militia rider.
11:16I was trained for this.
11:28Lucan!
11:29Damn it!
11:31He actually called it.
11:35No!
11:45Well, well.
11:46I've come for my dragon.
11:50What is this?
11:52That is a high war drack of the royal dragon knights.
11:55Is this how you mudblood villagers tend what is entrusted to you?
11:58You'll make restitution for that!
12:00Sir Corrin,
12:01it was an accident.
12:11Spare me your frannel.
12:13My dragon is worth a fortune.
12:14You will make restitution.
12:16Your dragon went savage itself!
12:18Enough!
12:19However it happened,
12:20the beast was injured in our camp.
12:22The debt is ours.
12:23Name your price.
12:24You maimed my dragon.
12:26Then you pay me in dragons!
12:28Dragons?
12:30Father, no!
12:32Those dragons are all that stands between this village and the Valkyraids.
12:35How many?
12:37All of them.
12:39What?
12:40Never!
12:48This is a high-ranked war drath.
12:50Your whole yard of low-bred creatures is not worth a single span of his wing.
12:53And that says nothing of his bloodline, his royal commission, or his worth to the war ahead.
12:58I ask for your dragons, and I am already showing mercy.
13:01The upper wing is unbroken.
13:03The frame is sound.
13:05The shoulder joint and outer wing bone are true military stock.
13:08The wing alone is rare enough.
13:10And he has only just come of age.
13:12He has ten hard years of service in him yet.
13:16Commander Holt, if I remember rightly, you are master of this frontier dragon yard.
13:21Then pay what is owed.
13:23Bullshit!
13:24This was a setup!
13:26The grooming was only a pre-tent.
13:28You came for our stock.
13:30Nothing more.
13:31The royal dragon knights have no shame left at all.
13:34Hold your tongue!
13:36The royal knights have never spared a thought for the border villages.
13:39You may take this camp and never look back, but the Valkyr have raided all year.
13:43Without our dragons, how are we meant to keep our people safe?
13:47And what concern is that of mine?
13:49Hand them over!
13:52That blind pack, Drage.
13:53The very one we saw in the gorge.
13:56The man who rode him must be here.
13:58Find that rider and bring him into the dragon knights.
14:00And he would be worth more than ten dragons taken in level.
14:02Enough.
14:16Is that one yours?
14:18It is.
14:20So, Melita dragon riders, right?
14:24Since you are riders as well, I will offer you another road.
14:29Compete with us.
14:31Three trials.
14:32Best two of three.
14:34Win, and the matter of compensation is ended.
14:39Captain, why waste words on them?
14:42We can take the lot by force.
14:44I have greater need of riders who know how to master a dragon than just of dragons.
14:50Father, don't!
14:51The royal dragon knights stand second only to the lord of dragons himself.
14:56They are formally trained, and they ride high-ranked dragons.
15:00This would be slaughter!
15:02We've flown those gulges for ten years,
15:05and now we're meant to fear a pack of high-born riders raised in comfort?
15:09If it's a contest they want, then a contest they shall have!
15:13Let it be a contest!
15:15Do not look down on militia riders!
15:17Well, commander,
15:19we are all dragon riders here.
15:21No one could call it unfair.
15:27Very well.
