Short filmTranscript
00:00I had four fathers once. Four SSS level alpha kings who ruled the four kingdoms. The Dragon King, the Bear
00:08Emperor, the Nine-Tailed Fox, the Phoenix Lord. I grew up beloved by all of them. I inherited my mother's
00:16S-level calming power. I was the most envied female in the realm.
00:21Until Giselle arrived, the daughter of their former faded female. She said I cursed her. The Dragon King stitched my
00:30mouth shut. The Nine-Tailed Fox threw me into the Shadow Spider cabin. Insects ate my left eye. The Bear
00:37Emperor threw me into the feral dens. Three years, I became a rut slave. Clawed. Bitten. Mounted bloody.
00:46I am your mother's guardian spirit. She is a traveler from another world. My poor child. Your mother, upon learning
00:53that you are still alive, longs to bring you back to her world. Elara, your mother has been desperate since
00:58learning you exist. Are you willing- I grabbed a rusted blade and pressed it to my throat. Yes, mother
01:04was alive. I'd see her soon. Pure joy drowned my fear of death, just as I slashed down. A Talon
01:12foot slammed the blade from my hand.
01:15Alara, you trying to kill yourself? Fourth Dad.
01:22Don't call me that! I severed our bond years ago.
01:28Don't call me that. I severed our bond years ago.
01:31When I was small, a feral warlord kidnapped me. Fourth Dad tracked me alone. He knelt to his worst enemy
01:37and let his wounds be torn apart, all to bring me home.
01:40Fourth Dad loved me most. Until four years ago, when Second Dad brought Giselle back from the borderlands.
01:47Evrione said my mother was the fated female of all four fathers. But the wedding ceremony, Giselle's mother Genevieve appeared,
01:54the moment all four shifted their love to her overnight.
01:57They said my mother went mad with jealousy. Tormented Genevieve. Drowned herself in the river. After mother died, Genevieve vanished
02:06too.
02:06Only when Giselle returned did the fathers learn the truth. Genevieve had left out of guilt.
02:12I never believed it. But fathers didn't trust me.
02:17So whenever Giselle and I clashed, they chose her.
02:21I went from the most treasured female in the realm, to a feral den slave.
02:26Fourth Dad picked up the fallen blade, looked at the cut on my throat, then flipped the blade and drove
02:32it towards me.
02:33I jerked back. The edge kissed my skin. Fresh blood welled up.
02:37If you want to die so badly, why dodge?
02:40You're just like your mother, Ellara.
02:42Pathetic.
02:43Both of you hurt yourselves for attention. She was smarter, though. She did it in front of all four of
02:49us.
02:49You picked this shithole. Stupid.
02:54You picked this shithole. Stupid.
02:56I started to explain. Then I remembered. They never listened. I lowered my head.
03:02You're right, my lord.
03:04Did you come all this way just to watch me perform?
03:07Don't flatter yourself. Today is Giselle's birthday. She's being named Sacred Female.
03:13She says she'll forgive you. I'm here to bring you to her.
03:16Sacred Female. A title the forefathers had promised me since I was ten.
03:21Before, if anyone took what was mine, I'd tear the kingdom apart.
03:25Now I just said...
03:29I don't want to go!
03:32That's not your choice.
03:33Had me washed and dressed. Then summoned his sky carriage. A gilded chariot drawn by two winged sopens on the
03:41way.
03:42Fourth dad wouldn't stop talking.
03:44Bear your throat when you see, Giselle. Don't provoke her. Submit.
03:49My chest ached.
03:51Behind me flew out.
03:52The louder mother's voice called in my head.
03:55I stood, pushed open the carriage door, and jumped.
04:01The scream tore the air behind me.
04:04At this height, I'd surely die.
04:06But I landed in warm arms instead.
04:09Fourth dad had caught me.
04:11His wings folded around us.
04:13We crashed and rolled twice on the ground.
04:16His furious roar shook the air.
04:19Alara!
04:21Nakara!
04:21Have you lost your mind?
04:23Blood from a gash on his forehead dripped onto my face.
04:27I reached up to wipe it away.
04:29Stop playing games!
04:30You just want to see if I still care!
04:32I don't!
04:34I don't!
04:35I'd catch any fallen creature on reflex.
04:37If I'd known it was you, I wouldn't have bothered.
04:39Next time you want to die, go ahead.
04:41I won't bother.
04:45Good.
04:46Remember that, Rowan.
04:56Fourth dad nearly drowned as a cub.
04:58Deep water was his greatest fear.
05:00He just said it himself.
05:01He wouldn't save me.
05:03The icy current flooded my lungs.
05:05I was happy.
05:06Finally.
05:07I was going home to mother.
05:10I don't know how long the darkness lasted.
05:12A hand cracked across my face.
05:16Third dad stood over me, furious.
05:18Selfish bitch.
05:20You know Rowan almost drowned, saving you.
05:24Of the four fathers, I'd been closest to him.
05:27He taught me to read scent trails.
05:29Identify herbs.
05:31He was always gentle.
05:32No matter what I did wrong, he never punished me.
05:36Until Giselle came back.
05:38She touched a venomous snake and got bitten.
05:41She planted it!
05:42Third dad's tails lashed my back.
05:45This is my fault, Alara.
05:47I didn't raise you right.
05:50Later, Giselle was poisoned again.
05:53Third dad threw me into the venom pit.
05:55Creatures burrowed into my flesh and burst out in blood.
05:59Even after third dad healed me, I'd lost my left eye.
06:03Seeing my silence now, he took it as admission.
06:05Calm down.
06:07Today is Giselle's naming reet.
06:09Alara probably can't handle it.
06:10She tried killing herself three times in front of me.
06:13You've been away from court too long.
06:14She's pulled this stunt dozens of times over four years.
06:17Just another grab for attention.
06:19So that's what this is.
06:22Alara, it's Giselle's birthday.
06:24Don't make a scene in front of first dad and second dad.
06:26You know how they are.
06:27Before he finished, I lunged for the medicine chest behind him.
06:31I grabbed the most poisonous one and swallowed it.
06:34The poison burned through my veins, but I smiled.
06:38Third dad once told me that-
06:39This toxin had no antidote.
06:41If I swallowed it, I would die.
06:43Third dad froze for two seconds.
06:48And shoved his fingers down my throat.
06:51Are you insane?
06:53Do you know what you just swallowed?
06:55He forced me to vomit, then pressed his palm against my chest.
06:58Three of his tails wrapped around me.
07:01He pushed his spirit energy into my body, forcing the poison out.
07:05Black blood seeped from my pores.
07:07Finally, he sighed in relief.
07:10Alara, it's just a title.
07:12Is it really worth dying over?
07:14Alara, please stop this.
07:16Yesterday we spoke with Giselle.
07:17She's willing to forgive you.
07:19After today, you can return to court.
07:20First dad will name you Sacred Female too.
07:22I promise.
07:23Tears spilled down my face.
07:25Please, I'm begging you.
07:27Just let me die.
07:30Alara, do you not understand?
07:32I understand.
07:34But I don't want to go back.
07:36I want to go home.
07:38To mother.
07:39I told them the voice in my head, mother being alive in another world, that all I had
07:44to do was die to reach her.
07:46Their faces shifted from confusion to something worse.
07:49Finally, third dad pulled me to my feet.
07:53Alara, listen to me.
07:56Your mother is dead.
08:00Mother drowned herself in the river.
08:02First dad pulled her out.
08:04But nothing worked.
08:06They watched her flesh decay.
08:07Third dad said the voice I was hearing was a delusion.
08:10I knew what I heard was real.
08:12But no matter what I said, they refused to believe me.
08:15Third dad sighed.
08:16If you can't bear to return to court, stay here with me.
08:20I was about to refuse.
08:22The ground shook.
08:23Heavy footsteps and a low rumbling growl echoed down the corridor.
08:26First dad and second dad burst in, wild-eyed.
08:28Have you seen Gazelle?
08:29She's gone.
08:32Third dad and fourth dad froze.
08:35Second dad's voice cracked.
08:37This morning she...
08:38She asked where the feral dens were...
08:41Were...
08:42She wanted to bring Alara back herself.
08:44I refused.
08:46She must have gone anyway.
08:47All four turned to stare at me.
08:49I knew that look.
08:50Before they could speak, I was already shaking my head.
08:53No.
08:54It wasn't me.
08:56How could it not be you?
08:58Fourth dad's talons closed around my throat, slamming me against the wall.
09:03Now wonder you wanted to die this morning.
09:06Where did you hide her?
09:08His grip tightened.
09:09Tears streamed down my face, but I kept shaking my head.
09:12I don't know.
09:14I never saw her.
09:15Fourth dad's eyes blazed.
09:17Liar.
09:17He pinned me to the ground and unleashed his mental power.
09:21I couldn't breathe.
09:23My vision went white.
09:25He pulled back just before I blacked out.
09:28Last time.
09:29Where is Giselle?
09:32I know they won't believe me, so I smiled.
09:38I killed her.
09:39All four went still.
09:40First dad's voice draw to a ground.
09:42What did you just say?
09:44I laughed.
09:45I killed her.
09:46I let a pack of rogues ruin her first.
09:49You always said she was pure.
09:51Well, now she's filthier than I ever was.
09:54So what are you waiting for?
09:56Kill me.
09:57Something inside them snapped.
09:59First dad shifted into his dragon form and pinned me down.
10:02Second dad's bear form erupted.
10:04Second dad's claws tore through my body, tearing flesh from bone.
10:08They took turns.
10:10Claws.
10:11Fangs.
10:12Venom.
10:13Spirit pressure.
10:14At first I could still scream.
10:16Then even screaming left me.
10:18The more it hurt, the happier I became.
10:21Soon.
10:22I'd see mother soon.
10:23The forefathers turned to leave.
10:25They were desperate to find Giselle.
10:27Just as they stepped out, a young attendant arrived scrambling.
10:31My lord, the sacred female.
10:33She's been found.
10:35First dad seized him.
10:36Where?
10:38Where?
10:38She's alive.
10:39She got lost on the way to the feral durns and is now coming back.
10:42Second dad choked out.
10:44She's alive.
10:45The attendant nodded, confused.
10:46Yes, my lord.
10:47All four faces went white.
10:50Then I screamed.
10:52I spun around and threw open the doors.
10:55I lifted a dagger and drove it through my heart.
11:01The pain was unbearable.
11:03I almost couldn't stop the tears.
11:05But this meant I could see mother.
11:08Through blurring vision, I saw the forefathers rushing toward me.
11:12First dad tore off his ceremonial pelt and pressed it against my chest.
11:17Second dad kicked the dagger away.
11:20Third dad shoved a spirit pill into my mouth.
11:23Fourth dad kept calling my name.
11:25Elara.
11:27Elara, don't close your eyes.
11:29The way they panicked reminded me of the time I got sick as a cub.
11:33It was the winter solstice.
11:35The forefathers celebrated with me.
11:37I played too long in the snow and got a fever.
11:39They crowded my bed, coaxing me softly.
11:43The forefathers used to be so good to me.
11:46Even after what they did for Giselle, I still remembered their goodness.
11:50I looked at each of their faces one last time.
11:53Then I closed my eyes.
11:54A moment later, the pain faded.
11:57When I woke again, I was lying in third dad's chamber.
12:00My wounds had been treated.
12:02The forefathers sat nearby, exhausted, looking like they hadn't slept in days.
12:08Giselle was at my bedside.
12:10She beamed when I opened my eyes.
12:12Sister's finally awake.
12:15Third dad read my spirit pulse and spoke coldly.
12:18The blade didn't fully pierce your heart.
12:20That and the revival pill is the only reason you survived.
12:23You've been unconscious for five days.
12:27Five days, third dad had flown to his master's sanctuary to beg for that pill.
12:32I smiled bitterly.
12:34What a waste of something so precious.
12:36I still wanted to die.
12:38Second dad leaned in.
12:40Alara, if you didn't hurt Giselle, why didn't you just tell us the truth?
12:44Why go to such extremes and make everyone worry?
12:48The others nodded in agreement.
12:49They all blamed me for being reckless.
12:51The only one who defended me was Giselle.
12:53Please stop scolding her.
12:56It's all my fault.
12:58I got lost trying to buy sister a gift.
13:00Her eyes turned red as she spoke.
13:02First, dad glared at me.
13:04Alara, Giselle was so worried about you she didn't even celebrate her own birthday.
13:09And this is how you repay her?
13:11Apologize.
13:12Now.
13:12I almost laughed.
13:15Apologize?
13:16For what?
13:17She's the one who got lost.
13:19How is any of that my fault?
13:21Third dad's brow furrowed.
13:22You're still this stubborn.
13:24What about everything you've done to her over the years?
13:26Don't you owe Gislin an apology for that?
13:29I owe her nothing.
13:30I never hit her.
13:31Never poisoned her.
13:32Never sent anyone after her.
13:34She framed me.
13:35Why do you always believe her?
13:36Why do you let her take everything that's mine?
13:41Years of pain came flooding out at once.
13:44Everyone in the room froze.
13:46Giselle's face twisted.
13:48She burst into tears.
13:50Sister, you've got it all wrong.
13:52I never wanted to take your things.
13:54I...
13:55I don't need to be sacred female.
13:57You can have it back.
13:58She clutched first dad's sleeve and sobbed.
14:03First dad, just send me back to the northern wastes.
14:07That's where I belong.
14:09All forefathers melted.
14:10They rushed to comfort her.
14:12Then they turned on me.
14:14First dad's face hardened.
14:16Alara, you're exactly like your dead mother.
14:19Always tormenting Giselle.
14:21I fired back.
14:22And she's exactly like her dead mother.
14:25Using these pathetic tricks to frame me.
14:28Enough!
14:29Third dad slapped me across the face.
14:30If your mother could see you now, she'd be ashamed.
14:32Tears poured down my face.
14:35What right do you have to mention my mother?
14:37She risked her life to save all four of you.
14:39She helped you reclaim your territories.
14:42She restored your bloodline's honor.
14:44And how did you repay her?
14:45You cast her aside for a female you barely knew.
14:48You swore you'd protect her for life.
14:50You drove her to her death!
14:53No one in the four kingdoms dared call them by their true names.
14:56Every one of them went pale.
14:58After mother died, first dad had banned anyone from speaking her name.
15:02He destroyed every portrait of her.
15:05Anyone who'd been close to her was sent away.
15:07Everyone said it was because the memories were too painful.
15:10Only I knew the truth.
15:12They were angry.
15:13Angry that mother's death drove Genevieve away.
15:16Because whenever they mentioned mother,
15:18their faces twisted.
15:20With resentment.
15:25As a cub,
15:27I truly believed mother was evil.
15:29Until I found Lily,
15:31mother's personal handmaid.
15:32She lived in the abandoned wing.
15:34I'd fallen into that courtyard while climbing a tree.
15:37The moment Lily saw me,
15:39she knew whose child I was.
15:40You have her eyes.
15:42She touched my face,
15:43her eyes soft with longing.
15:45It was Lily who told me the truth.
15:47Mother wasn't the villain.
15:48She was the victim.
15:49She'd freed first dad from captivity.
15:52Healed second dad's wounds.
15:55Served as third dad's living remedy.
15:58Helped fourth dad find his lost flame.
16:01A female that good how could anyone not love her.
16:03So all four fathers fell for her.
16:06Lily said at first.
16:07Mother loved first dad.
16:08First dad promised to make her his bonded mate.
16:11But on the eve of their bonding ceremony,
16:14Genevieve appeared.
16:15He broke the bond.
16:16Made mother a laughing stock.
16:19Ladder,
16:20mother was with fourth dad for a while.
16:22She was ready to leave with him.
16:24But she overheard fourth dad confessing to Genevieve.
16:27You're the one I truly want.
16:28But as long as she's here,
16:30she'll only cause trouble for you and first brother.
16:32Let me take her away.
16:33Then you be free.
16:38Let me take her away.
16:39Then you be free.
16:41So fourth dad loved Genevieve too.
16:43Everything he'd said about running away with mother
16:46was just a leash to drag her along.
16:48After that,
16:49mother was imprisoned by second dad and third dad for a time.
16:53Then Genevieve framed her.
16:55The forefathers tormented her.
16:57She couldn't take it anymore.
16:59She drowned herself in the river.
17:02Lily said,
17:02Everyone says she jumped because she was heartbroken.
17:05But she was actually happy that day.
17:06She told me she was finally going home.
17:09I was confused.
17:10Wasn't this her home?
17:11Lily shook her head.
17:12She said her home was in another world.
17:15And that you could go there too.
17:17Another world.
17:18Back then,
17:19I didn't understand.
17:20But when the voice appeared,
17:22it all made sense.
17:26My home wasn't here either.
17:29Mother's world was my home.
17:30Perhaps because my words stirred old memories.
17:33The forefathers softened.
17:35When they spoke to me again,
17:37their voices were gentler.
17:39Fourth dad stepped forward
17:40and ruffled my hair like he used to.
17:43Alara,
17:44come with me.
17:45We'll leave court.
17:47Travel the free lands.
17:48Didn't you always say you wanted to be like me?
17:50His sudden warmth caught the others off guard.
17:53A flash of hatred crossed Giselle's face.
17:55But I saw right through him.
17:58Rowan,
17:59are you taking me away because you pity me?
18:02Or because you want me gone
18:04so I'll stop bothering Giselle?
18:05Panic flickered in his eyes.
18:07I'm doing this for your own good.
18:08As long as you're here,
18:09you'll keep thinking Giselle wronged you.
18:11If I separate you two,
18:12that jealousy will fade.
18:13You'll go back to normal.
18:14I laughed in disbelief.
18:16So he thought I was broken.
18:18Third dad stepped in.
18:19Rowan, don't take her.
18:20She's badly injured.
18:21She needs to heal.
18:22Give me some time.
18:23I'll bring her to the sanctuary.
18:25None of you should take her.
18:27Let her come back to the feral dens.
18:29She's been well behaved there for three years.
18:31I laughed coldly.
18:34Send me back to the dens?
18:36Maddox,
18:37haven't your beast destroyed me enough?
18:38Second dad stared at me in disbelief.
18:40Allara,
18:40what are you talking about?
18:41I sent you there to do labor.
18:43Nothing more.
18:44What do you mean?
18:49Second dad wasn't the only one stunned.
18:51So was I.
18:53The day he threw me into the dens.
18:56He told the shifters to take good care of me.
18:59Shortly after,
19:00a group tore into my cell.
19:02They said the bear came over.
19:03I was the new rut slave.
19:05From that night on,
19:07someone came every night.
19:09Sometimes three at once.
19:10But I dosed myself with barren root.
19:13I never bore a child.
19:15I told them everything.
19:17Their faces drained of color.
19:19Third dad's lips trembled.
19:20Barren root scrapes your bones hollow.
19:23How did you endure that?
19:25Still better than giving birth.
19:27Fourth dad grabbed second dad by the collar.
19:30You said the dens would toughen her up.
19:32This is what you call toughening up?
19:34He threw a punch.
19:36Second dad didn't dodge.
19:37I never gave that order.
19:39My pack would never do this.
19:40Could it be?
19:41And Giselle spoke softly.
19:43Sister is lying.
19:44I knew it.
19:45Alara, isn't this too far even for attention?
19:51Alara, isn't this too far even for attention?
19:53Second dad relaxed instantly.
19:56I laughed.
19:57I can lie.
19:58A hundred of my words couldn't outweigh one of hers.
20:00Scars can't.
20:01I pulled off my clothes.
20:03The marks crisscrossed my body.
20:05Every excuse died on their tongues.
20:10Find out who gave that order in my name.
20:12Now!
20:13A flash of panic crossed Giselle's face.
20:16The forefathers begged me to come live with them.
20:18I pulled away.
20:19I want to find mother.
20:20The voice is a delusion.
20:22You're sick.
20:23You need to heal.
20:24Giselle spoke.
20:25Why don't I take sister in?
20:26My quarters are all female.
20:28After everything she's been through, she must be terrified of males.
20:31I was going to refuse.
20:33Then I saw the look in Giselle's eyes.
20:35Living with the fathers meant I couldn't die.
20:37But living with Giselle, I wouldn't survive.
20:43Giselle brought me to her quarters.
20:45What kind of furs you wanted for your bed?
20:48Which handymaids I preferred.
20:50One second, she was all smiles.
20:52The moment the forefathers left, the mask fell.
20:55Her attendance forced me to my knees.
20:59So you brought me here to torment me.
21:01What else?
21:02You think I actually wanted to pamper you, Alara?
21:04Your mother killed mine.
21:06I will have my revenge.
21:09Good.
21:10Then kill me.
21:13You think I won't.
21:14Do it then!
21:16Your mother was a home-wrecking whore.
21:18A cheap slut who spread her legs for every alpha who'd look at her.
21:21Don't you dare talk about my mother!
21:23Giselle lunged at me, slapping me across the face.
21:26She drew a blade and pressed it to my throat.
21:28My mother was not some low-born trash.
21:31She was actually, she was...
21:32My lady.
21:34Be careful.
21:36Giselle blinked.
21:37Clarity returned.
21:39She laughed softly.
21:40You almost had me, Alara.
21:42You want to die so badly.
21:44Too bad.
21:45I won't let you.
21:50I want you healthy and breathing.
21:53So you can watch me take everything from you.
21:56She stood and clapped her hands.
21:59Several hulking males walked in.
22:06My heart stopped.
22:07They were the ones from the feral dunks.
22:09I started trembling.
22:10Giselle couldn't possibly command the Bear King's pack.
22:13If they were here, that meant only one thing.
22:15These three years.
22:17Every male who came to my cell.
22:19They were yours.
22:21Giselle threw her head back.
22:22Took you long enough.
22:24I handpicked every single one for you.
22:26Wasn't that sweet of me?
22:28She was revolting.
22:29But how had she done it?
22:30I tested her.
22:32Aren't you afraid the Bear King will find out?
22:34If I dared to do it, I made sure he never would.
22:38Worry about yourself.
22:40She clapped once.
22:42The nails swarmed.
22:43My stomach turned inside out.
22:46Giselle wouldn't let me die.
22:48But she wouldn't let me live in peace either.
22:51Every day was pain.
22:52The moment my body weakened, she forced a healing pill down my throat.
22:56Half a month later, I was nothing but bones and hollow arms.
23:01Who'd ignored me for years.
23:03Suddenly started showing up.
23:04Giselle never let them see me.
23:06She told them I was too fragile.
23:07After being turned away several times, they grew suspicious.
23:11I must take her to the sanctuary.
23:14Before the meeting, Giselle hissed in my ear.
23:16You know what to say and what not to say.
23:19Don't forget, your precious fathers will always believe me over you.
23:23But the moment I saw them, I grabbed Third Dad's hand.
23:27Save me.
23:28The male's here.
23:29They're all Giselle's people.
23:30She's planning a coup.
23:32Giselle went white.
23:36Sister, what are you saying?
23:38Her delusion has gotten worse.
23:39She's been saying things like this for days.
23:41Silas, listen to me, this is...
23:43Enough!
23:45Ellara, I thought being here would help you reflect.
23:48But you're still doing everything to slander, Giselle.
23:50I'm done.
23:51I won't be coming back.
23:53He turned and walked out without another word.
23:55The last shred of hope in me died.
23:57Giselle bent down and whispered in my ear.
23:59Ellara, when are you going to learn?
24:02Giselle waved the males in.
24:03They carried new instruments I'd never seen before.
24:06She picked up a whip, dipped it in salt water and lashed my back.
24:10Her laughter was ugly.
24:11Go all out tonight.
24:12No one's coming for her anymore.
24:15Before, the males had held back to avoid leaving us.
24:18Now they didn't hold back at all.
24:20I closed my eyes in despair.
24:22A commotion erupted outside.
24:24The door was kicked open.
24:25The forefather stood in the doorway.
24:27They took one look at the scene inside, and their faces shifted.
24:30First, Dad walked in and kicked the male off me.
24:32Then he turned to Giselle.
24:33Giselle, what is this?
24:35The Bear Emperor's dominance made Giselle's legs buckle.
24:39Father, let me explain.
24:41I was just playing with Sister.
24:43She's afraid of males, so I was helping her get over it.
24:46Even a feral mutt wouldn't buy that.
24:48That's playing.
24:50Then what about the pack you've been raising in the northern peaks?
24:54Second, Dad tossed something at her feet.
24:56It rolled across the floor and came to a stop.
24:59A severed head.
25:00Every drop of blood drained from Giselle's face.
25:03Only then did I understand.
25:05Third, Dad had believed me all along.
25:07After I grabbed his hand, he'd noticed the attendants around me.
25:10Their scent was wrong.
25:11Sharp, male, aggressive.
25:14Second, Dad's scouts uncovered the truth.
25:16Giselle's mother, Genevieve, wasn't just some wandering female.
25:19She was the last heir of the old bloodlines the forefathers had overthrown.
25:24She'd spent years plotting revenge.
25:26She saw Mother was the bond holding the forefathers together.
25:29So she framed Mother, turned the fathers against her.
25:31When Mother tried to expose her, Genevieve killed her first.
25:35Mother didn't kill herself.
25:37Genevieve murdered her.
25:38Third, Dad held me still.
25:40We only just learned this ourselves.
25:43After Genevieve killed her, she fled.
25:44Then Second, Dad found Giselle by chance and brought her home.
25:49Genevieve had spent years filling her with hatred.
25:51Giselle used every trick her mother had used on mine.
25:54And it worked.
25:55It was almost funny.
25:56Mother and I had suffered the same fate.
25:58And these four males had let it happen.
26:00Twice.
26:03Fathers, listen to me!
26:05Giselle crawled toward First, Dad clutching his cloak.
26:08I'm your real daughter!
26:10You are not my daughter.
26:12I never claimed your mother.
26:14You are nothing but a stray.
26:15That word cut through Giselle.
26:17She shook her head wildly, then started laughing.
26:20I'm the stray.
26:21Alara's the stray to this day.
26:23None of you even know whose cup she is!
26:25You think those males were all I had?
26:28I have fighters in this very den!
26:30She released a burst of spirit energy.
26:32Feral shifters poured in from every shadow.
26:34The two sides clashed.
26:35I watched for a moment.
26:37Then I stood.
26:38I reached the outer walls and climbed to the highest ridge.
26:41Then I stood on top.
26:42The moon was full tonight.
26:44Enormous and bright.
26:45I was finally going home.
26:46I bent my knees.
26:48Ready to jump.
26:49A familiar voice came from behind.
26:50Alara, don't!
26:51I turned.
26:53The forefathers stood behind me.
26:54Each of them covered in blood.
26:56Faces twisted with terror.
26:58Alara, we were wrong.
27:00We misjudged you.
27:01Don't do this.
27:02First dad will give your mother the title of bonded mate.
27:05The honor she deserved.
27:06Alara, please don't jump.
27:08We'll make it right.
27:09We promise.
27:10I looked at their anguished faces.
27:11I smiled softly and said,
27:13Too late.
27:14Then I jumped without hesitation.
27:16The wall was high.
27:17I saw the forefathers throw themselves after me.
27:22When I opened my eyes again,
27:24everything was bright.
27:26The door opened.
27:28A woman with short hair and strange clothes walked in.
27:30The moment she saw me,
27:32tears fell from her eyes.
27:33She whispered,
27:35Ilara?
27:36That one word.
27:38I knew.
27:39She was my mother.
27:40We held each other and cried for a long time.
27:43Mother told me this was the modern world.
27:46The forefathers were characters in a story.
27:48She said many things I didn't understand.
27:50But it didn't matter.
27:52Mother's name was Serafina.
27:54She said she ran a small business and had a bit of money.
27:58She'd originally entered that world on a mission to save her family.
28:01The mission failed.
28:02But her family pulled through on their own.
28:05At the time, she'd ask the guardian spirit.
28:08As long as we both died, we could return together.
28:10She figured if she died, I wouldn't survive either.
28:13Later, she never expected third dad's healing to be powerful enough to keep me alive.
28:18Later, she hired a tutor to teach me about this world.
28:22After a few months, I started high school.
28:25In this world, males and females were equal.
28:29My classmates respected me.
28:31Mom was gentle.
28:33For the first time, I felt warmth.
28:35I'd never known.
28:37Then the guardian spirit found me again.
28:39Your death broke the forefathers.
28:41Their rage is tearing that world apart.
28:43The people are suffering.
28:45They want to make it up to you.
28:46Will you go back?
28:50When I hesitated, the spirit pushed harder.
28:54You don't belong in this world.
28:56You're making things harder for your mom.
28:58She had someone who loved her.
29:00But after you showed up, they fought.
29:02Can you really stand to watch her grow old alone?
29:05My friends, I never knew mom had lost her chance at love because of me.
29:09Just as I wavered, a voice cut in.
29:14Fine.
29:16We'll go back.
29:17I looked up.
29:18Mom was smiling.
29:20I'm going with her.
29:22The forefathers were waiting in the halls where I used to live.
29:25Every one of them looked terrible.
29:27The moment the doors opened, all four rose.
29:39Alara, you really came back, Alara.
29:41Did you miss us?
29:42We made your favorite honey cakes.
29:44And the swing you loved as a cub, it's still there.
29:46They pouted around me.
29:48Just as one of them reached for me, an arm pulled me back.
29:52Don't touch me.
29:53All forefathers froze.
29:55The moment they saw mom, they were like starving beasts catching scent.
30:00Serafina, is that you?
30:01Is it really you?
30:02You're alive.
30:04You're actually alive.
30:08I never thought I'd see you again.
30:10Thank the gods.
30:14You really came back with Alara.
30:16Now we're a family again.
30:18We can finally live in peace.
30:20Each of them stepped forward, claiming to be my dear father.
30:23Live with me, please.
30:24Each inviting mom and me to live with me.
30:26Live with me, please.
30:27Mom's face.
30:27Who said we came back to living with you?
30:33All four went quiet.
30:35They stared at her, confused.
30:37Then why did you come back?
30:39Something appeared in mom's hand.
30:41A weapon none of them had ever seen.
30:44She pointed at the four of them and fired.
30:47One shot each.
30:49The guardian spirit shrieked at the golden kettle.
30:53Serafina!
30:54What are you doing?
30:55Revenge!
30:56Mom looked at them like dead meat.
30:59Tormenting me for Genevieve was one thing.
31:02But my child!
31:04You broke her too!
31:06She knew what the forefathers had done to me.
31:08If you kill them, this world will collapse!
31:12Then let it collapse.
31:14A world balanced by these four idiots doesn't deserve to exist.
31:20She walked toward the forefathers, step by step.
31:23Her presence was so overwhelming that...
31:27Serafina, calm down!
31:29Giselle manipulated us!
31:31We'll do anything to make it right!
31:33Please!
31:38They looked like they'd plucked the stars from the sky if she asked.
31:42Too bad mom didn't want the stars.
31:44She wanted them dead.
31:46Don't beg me for chances.
31:49Beg whatever god is waiting for you on the other side.
31:52More shots rang out.
31:55Her forefathers closed their eyes and discared.
31:58They only had one thought.
32:00Her mom is a fucking legend.
32:02These four deserve to die.
32:04The spirit screamed again.
32:06You killed all of them!
32:08What happens to this world now?
32:09Who will lead the four clans?
32:11The people will suffer!
32:13Shut up!
32:14Mom frowned.
32:15Then find new leaders.
32:17We stayed in that world for nearly a year.
32:20Mom found replacements for all four of them.
32:23Before we left, the spirit's words nagged at me.
32:26If mom really lost her chance at love because of me.
32:29But she read my mind.
32:31She pulled me into her arms.
32:34Baby, men come and go.
32:36But you're my only family.
32:38I can't lose you.
32:39I whispered.
32:42But if I'm in the way...
32:44Forget what that stupid spirit said.
32:47None of them are worth giving up anything for.
32:49Just before we stepped through the door, one last question lost my mind.
32:53I looked up.
32:55Mom, who is my real father?
32:57Mom smiled and said a name, softly.
33:00My eyes went wide.
33:02I couldn't believe it.
33:03How was that possible?
33:04How could it be him?
33:08When my mother had just arrived in this strange world, she was lying in a forest covered in wounds.
33:14Then she passed through a veil of silver mist.
33:17The world changed.
33:20Trees glowed with soft light.
33:23Flowers bloomed in colors that didn't exist.
33:26A figure appeared through the trees.
33:28Silver white hair.
33:29Elegant and tall, he found her collapsed by the water.
33:34You're hurt.
33:35You are hurt, he said gently.
33:37He knelt beside her.
33:39His horn glowed and warmth spread through her wounds.
33:43The pain faded.
33:44What's your name?
33:44Seraphina.
33:46I'm Lysiada.
33:47Welcome to the Moonlit Glade.
33:50As the days passed, they slowly fell in love.
33:53The Unicorn Clan lived hidden, at peace.
33:56Mom's eyes soft with memory.
33:58He was the first person who asked me what I wanted, not what I could do for them.
34:02I touched my chest, feeling something shift inside.
34:05So I'm half Unicorn?
34:07You have his gift for healing, and his kind heart.
34:11I see him in you every day.
34:12I looked at my hands.
34:14All this time, I thought I was just broken.
34:17But maybe I was something else entirely.
34:20Then what happened?
34:22Why did you leave?
34:26My mom eventually grew curious about the world beyond the glade.
34:30With a small pack on her back, she told Lysander she wanted to leave for a while, and see what
34:36lay outside.
34:38Lysander was saddened, but he did not stop her.
34:41He only pressed a moonstone pendant in her hand, telling her it would guide her home whenever she was.
34:47Before she left, he kissed her forehead and asked her to come back to him.
34:52My mom promised she would.
34:54Then she met them.
34:56Four exiled Alphys, battered and desperate.
34:59The dragon, the bear.
35:01The fox.
35:03The phoenix.
35:04She helped them overthrow the tyrants.
35:06We built four kingdoms.
35:08Once it was done, they'd bond.
35:11They'd bond.
35:12She'd be his queen.
35:13You'd be my queen.
35:13She believed him.
35:15On the wedding day, Genevieve appeared.
35:17Beautiful.
35:18Delicate.
35:19Helpless.
35:21Genevieve framed her for everything.
35:24Poisoning.
35:24Cursing.
35:26Sabotage.
35:27A week later, she realized something.
35:30She was pregnant.
35:31She pressed a hand to her stomach.
35:33Tears in her eyes.
35:35She needed to go back.
35:36To tell my father.
35:38But the four kings behaved every word of Genevieve.
35:41It's not the world.
35:42They locked my mother.
35:43I trapped her.
35:45The moonstone was ripped from her neck.
35:48Genevieve took it.
35:50My mother searched for years.
35:52But without the stone, the glade wouldn't open.
35:55Now, Mom looked at me.
35:57Tears streaming down her face.
35:59I failed him.
36:03I left when I was already carrying you.
36:05I never got to tell him.
36:07But my heart ached.
36:08I had a father out there.
36:10A father who'd loved me before I was born.
36:16The guardian spirit was opening the doorway.
36:18Light swirling before us.
36:20Just as we stepped forward.
36:22Lady Seraphina!
36:23Lady Alara!
36:25Wait!
36:26Orion, the new Fox King, was running toward us.
36:30He dropped into a deep bow, pulling out a small wooden box.
36:35Forgive the interruption, my ladies.
36:39We found this in the old Fox King's vault.
36:42Hidden in Genevieve's collection.
36:44Inside was a moonstone pendant.
36:46Pulsing with faint silver light.
36:48Mom's breath caught.
36:50I lifted the pendant.
36:52The moment I touched him, it blazed with brilliant light.
36:56It recognized us.
36:59Mom, it's Dad's stone.
37:01I held up the glowing stone.
37:03Take us to Father.
37:04Take us home.
37:06The light exploded outward.
37:07Take us!
37:08Everything went right.
37:10When the light faded, we stood in a forest of glowing trees.
37:14Unicorns grazed in the distance.
37:16Their horns catching eternal moonlight.
37:18Then my father appeared from the trees.
37:21His eyes liquid, silver, locked onto Mom.
37:27Seraphina.
37:30Mom's hand flew to her mouth.
37:34Lysander!
37:35They crashed into each other's arms.
37:39When they finally separated, Father's gaze shifted to me.
37:43He recognized me instantly.
37:45My daughter.
37:48My starlight.
37:50You have your mother's eyes.
37:52He smelled like rain and earth and growing things.
37:54I've waited so long to see you.
37:57Welcome home, my child.
38:00Welcome home.
38:01He took a step toward me.
38:04I flinched.
38:05My body knew it before my brain could stop it.
38:08Shoulders hunching.
38:09Arms wrapping around myself protectively.
38:13Memories of past abuse flooded my mind.
38:15I'm sorry, Dad.
38:17I don't mean to...
38:18Father froze mid-step.
38:19His voice was firm but kind.
38:21Don't apologize.
38:22You have nothing to be sorry for.
38:25What they did to you, that's not your fault.
38:28He stayed very still, looking at me.
38:30Can I hug you?
38:31If it's too much, just say no.
38:32I'll understand.
38:33I wanted to say yes.
38:35I wanted to feel safe in my father's arms.
38:37I...
38:38I want to.
38:40But I don't know if I can.
38:42It's okay, baby.
38:43Take your time.
38:47We stayed in the glade for a week.
38:50Father showed me the house he'd built.
38:53Taught me about healing magic.
38:57But every night, I had the same nightmare.
39:01I'd wake up screaming.
39:03Back in the dens.
39:05Feeling claws on my skin.
39:08Hearing their laughter.
39:11Mom would hold me until I stopped shaking.
39:14Father would sit outside my door.
39:15Humming softly until I fell back asleep.
39:19Never pushed.
39:20Just stayed close enough that I knew I wasn't alone.
39:23On the third morning, father sat with us by the spring.
39:25Elara.
39:27I want to come with you.
39:29To your mother's world.
39:35What?
39:37You need to be around people.
39:40Normal people living normal lives.
39:43You need to see that not everyone will hurt you.
39:47That the world can be kind.
39:49Besides, I'm curious about this modern world.
39:51Your mother's told me stories.
39:53It sounds...
39:54Interesting.
39:58Lysander, you don't even know what a car is.
40:00Then you'll teach me.
40:01We'll figure it out together.
40:03As a family.
40:07The modern world was overwhelming.
40:09Cars roared past.
40:12Phones buzzed constantly.
40:14Lights glared everywhere.
40:16Father stared at everything with wide eyes.
40:18What is that metal beast?
40:23We moved into a small house with a garden.
40:28Father immediately started crying.
40:31Within days, the backyard glowed faintly at night with herbs and flowers that shouldn't exist in this world.
40:38The neighbors will notice.
40:40They'll think it's beautiful.
40:42They won't ask questions.
40:44Mom enrolled me in online school first.
40:47Regular high school was too much.
40:49Too many people.
40:51Too much noise.
40:53Dr. Lin, my therapist, said it was normal.
40:57You've been through severe trauma.
40:59Your brain is still in survival mode.
41:02Give it time.
41:08Time.
41:09Everyone kept saying that.
41:11But how much time did I need?
41:13Small things terrified me.
41:16Loud voices.
41:17Sudden movements.
41:18Men standing too close.
41:21On and day at the grocery store, a man reached past me for cereal.
41:25I flinched so hard I knocked over a display.
41:28Hands platter.
41:31Oh god.
41:32God, I'm so sorry.
41:33I didn't mean to startle you.
41:35I stood there, frozen, heart hammering.
41:38He was apologizing to me.
41:41Father appeared beside me, gentle but protective.
41:44It's alright.
41:45No harm done.
41:47The man helped pick up the cams, keeping his distance, then left quickly.
41:52He started crying right there in the middle of the store.
41:56He said sorry.
41:58He said sorry to me.
42:00Because you matter, Alera.
42:02Your feelings matter.
42:04Father hugged me carefully.
42:13Slowly, carefully, I started to heal.
42:17Mom taught me to cook.
42:19The first time I made pancakes by myself, I cried.
42:22I made something.
42:24Something that won't hurt anyone.
42:26Mom kissed my forehead.
42:29You've always been capable of beautiful things, baby.
42:32Father got a job at the botanical garden.
42:36His plants grew faster and healthier than anyone else's.
42:41How do you do it?
42:43I talk to them.
42:44They like being appreciated.
42:46We adopted a cat.
42:47A tiny gray kitten I named Luna.
42:51She'd curl up on my chest at night, purring.
42:55You're safe with me.
42:57I'll never hurt you.
42:59It was a promise to her.
43:01And to myself.
43:02Three months in, I could go to the grocery store without panicking.
43:06Six months in, I stopped flinching every time Father walked into a room.
43:11One morning, I hugged him without shaking.
43:15Father's eyes filled with tears.
43:17You're doing so well, Starlight.
43:19We had family dinners every night.
43:21Father's cooking improved slowly.
43:23He kept forgetting that human food needed more than love and sunlight.
43:28Why won't it grow bigger?
43:30I said, laughing.
43:32Because it's already cooked, Dad.
43:34Dad.
43:34I'd called him Dad.
43:35He set down the spoon and pulled me into a hug, crying.
43:42The aquarium was dimly lit.
43:44Peaceful.
43:45Soft music played.
43:47Blue light glowed from the tanks.
43:49It's beautiful.
43:51We wandered through the exhibits.
43:53Schools of silverfish.
43:55Giant sea turtles.
43:57Colorful coral reefs.
43:59I stopped at the jellyfish tank, mesmerized.
44:02They drifted through the water, delicate and translucent.
44:05They look so fragile.
44:08But they've survived for millions of years.
44:10A voice said behind me.
44:12I turned.
44:13A young man stood there.
44:15Maybe twenty.
44:16He had silver, blue hair that caught the tank light.
44:19And warm amber eyes.
44:23Sorry.
44:24He said quickly, noticing my tension.
44:27Didn't mean to startle you.
44:28I'm Caspian.
44:29I work in marine rehabilitation.
44:32Elora.
44:33He said quietly.
44:34He smiled.
44:36Caspian.
44:37Another staff member called.
44:39We need you at the turtle tank.
44:40Coming.
44:41Nice to meet you, Elora.
44:43Hope you enjoy the rest of your visit.
44:44He walked away with an easy grace.
44:46I watched him go, feeling something strange.
44:49He was truly gentle and beautiful, with deep, soulful eyes.
44:54We continued through the aquarium, in the sea turtle rehabilitation area.
44:58I saw him again.
45:00That's the boy from earlier.
45:01Yeah.
45:01You like him.
45:03I don't even know him.
45:06Sometimes that's how it starts.
45:07My face heated.
45:08time goes on over to the wind.
45:09I'll be back with him.
45:11He was like, I'm not a believer in his life.
