Short filmTranscript
00:01For three years, Seraphine has been saying that she is pregnant with a dragon child.
00:06The midwife brought the bundle out, and the room went completely silent.
00:10It was not a dragon. It was not even a snake.
00:14It was a small, soft, pale worm.
00:17A common earthworm wrapped in royal linen.
00:19And I thought, this is her punishment.
00:22My name is Wren. I have lived twice.
00:25The first time I came into the world as Seraphine's daughter.
00:28Just a black snake that nobody wanted.
00:30My dragon father only glanced at me.
00:32My snake mother decided I was the reason her life had fallen apart.
00:36She cut out my tongue and gouged out my eyes.
00:39She threw me into the thrall pens before I was six months old.
00:42Finally, they fed me to the hunting dogs and ate me.
00:45When I died, I met the ancient.
00:48She gave me a chance.
00:49I chose to be Aunt Selene's child.
00:52What I didn't account for was Seraphine.
00:54She had been given the same second chance.
00:56The healer had just confirmed the pregnancy.
00:59The moment she heard the news, she demanded three doses of an abortifacient draught.
01:04Give me abortion pills right now.
01:04She thought that if she ended the pregnancy, Aldric would never leave her.
01:08But what she was carrying this time was a true dragon heir.
01:14The dragon king had declared it claiming.
01:16Whichever of his nine princes fathered a dragonborn child would inherit the throne.
01:21Of all nine princes, the third prince, Aldric, had the strongest claim.
01:25His own blood was pure and his chosen consort, Seraphine, carried traces of true dragon lineage.
01:33This is wonderful, Seraphine.
01:35We are both with children.
01:37I never thought I would carry it again.
01:40The familiar voice confirmed it.
01:42I was truly inside my Aunt Selene's womb.
01:46Selene was gentle and kind.
01:48Her health, however, was fragile.
01:49She had entered the palace at the same time as Seraphine and been given to the seventh prince.
01:54A man as quietly ailing as she was.
01:56While Seraphine was tormenting me, Selene had been the only one who treated me with any kindness.
02:02After I died, it was Selene who wrested my body from the dog's mouths.
02:06She built me a small grave marker and said prayers over it every day.
02:10That was how I accumulated enough spiritual merit to stand before the ancient at all.
02:15Before I had long to enjoy it, I heard Seraphine's voice from outside.
02:20Physician, I don't want this child.
02:22Give me a droth to end it.
02:26Seraphine, have you lost your mind?
02:28You have waited so long for this child.
02:31Why would you end it?
02:32In my previous life, Seraphine had been cautious throughout her pregnancy.
02:36Now she was demanding an abortifacient the moment the healer confirmed the news.
02:41She had been reborn too.
02:42There was no other explanation.
02:46Because it's a wretched thing.
02:48Selene, I know what I'm carrying.
02:51It is not a dragon.
02:53It's a little black snake.
02:55And when Aldric sees it, he will leave me.
02:57I won't let that happen.
03:01The child isn't even born yet.
03:03How can you know what it is?
03:05And if Aldric truly leaves you over a child, your anger belongs with him, not with it.
03:11Seraphine wasn't listening.
03:13Physician!
03:14Come here at once!
03:15My lady.
03:17Dragon blood is sacred.
03:18By the Dragon King's own decree, no one may end a pregnancy of their own will.
03:23Those who do are exiled from Dragonkin permanently.
03:26If you persist, I will have no choice but to report this to the Dragon King himself.
03:31Seraphine would die sooner than leave Aldric.
03:33She would never willingly leave the Dragon Court.
03:36I was joking.
03:38Of course I want this child.
03:40I love this child dearly.
03:43But the moment she stepped somewhere with no one watching, she drove her fist hard into her own belly.
03:50You little wretch!
03:52This life, I will be rid of you!
03:59News of both pregnancies reached the Dragon King quickly.
04:02With only two of his prince's consorts expecting heirs, he was openly delighted.
04:07The seventh prince, Edric, was so overjoyed when he learned of Selene's pregnancy that he didn't sleep the whole night.
04:13He pressed his lips to her belly.
04:15Little one, don't give your mother trouble.
04:17Be good and quiet.
04:19And when you come out, I'll take you to the market and buy you meat pie.
04:23The child won't even have teeth.
04:27Whatever she wants, I'll find a way.
04:29I'd pull stars out of the sky if she asked.
04:33Edric, what if it isn't a dragon?
04:35What if it's only a snake?
04:36Would you still want us?
04:37He went still.
04:38Then he pulled her close.
04:40Selene, do you want to leave me?
04:42He held her tighter.
04:43Dragon or snake or anything else in between, I won't let either of you go.
04:47No, not ever.
04:48It sounded like something a lovesick boy would say.
04:51Selene laughed and cried at the same time.
04:53I felt it too, that warmth.
04:56He built my cradle himself and carved small wooden horses for me to play with.
05:00Every evening, he pressed his ear to Selene's belly and told me stories.
05:04He even sought out the most experienced midwives in the palace
05:07and learned everything they knew about tending to mothers and infants.
05:12Selene, for her part, took care of everything.
05:14Every step, every movement, so as not to disturb me.
05:18I did my part in return.
05:20And whenever I found something wrong in Selene's body, old illness, stagnant blood,
05:25a quiet weakness she had carried for years, I quietly consumed it.
05:31Four months would pass like this.
05:34Selene had not gained so much as an ounce.
05:36But her face was flushed and healthy.
05:38Her skin had color.
05:39The shadows under her eyes were gone.
05:46Most women weaken during pregnancy.
05:48Their bodies are drawn upon.
05:49But your highness has grown stronger.
05:51Old elements I once thought permanent have simply vanished.
05:54The only time I have ever seen a pulse like this was when the late dragon queen carried the dragon
05:59king himself.
06:01Edric, did you hear that? The baby is healing me.
06:05She's so small and already so thoughtful.
06:08She's going to be the kindest, most remarkable child.
06:11She really is a blessing.
06:13And she hasn't even arrived yet.
06:14Neither of them had paid any attention to the physician's final words.
06:18That my pulse resembled the dragon king's own.
06:22Whatever I turned out to be, they would have held on to me.
06:25Selene, once she had calmed herself.
06:27How Seraphine was faring.
06:29At the mention of Seraphine, the physician's expression darkened.
06:32I have never in my life seen a mother less willing to protect her own child.
06:37Seraphine had spent the past four months making herself miserable.
06:40She ate food that inflamed the baby.
06:43Hot, bitter things in turns.
06:45The child reacted violently, kicking without rest.
06:48And Seraphine's own suffering was considerable.
06:50She vomited constantly.
06:54Aldric found her revolting and stayed away.
06:57Seraphine, furious, blamed everything on the child inside her.
07:01When she heard that strenuous movement might disturb the baby's sleep,
07:05she began moving without pause.
07:08When she learned the hot springs could cause damage,
07:11she soaked in them until her skin peeled.
07:14Whatever is inside her is remarkable, frankly.
07:17After everything she's done to it, it's still holding on.
07:20Thank every power that existed that I was not the one.
07:28Selene was genuinely kind.
07:30When she heard what Seraphine had done to herself,
07:32she packed a cart full of tonics and medicinal parcels and went to see her.
07:36She wanted to try one more time to talk sense into her.
07:38She had barely crossed the threshold.
07:40When she smelled something wrong,
07:42Seraphine was standing in the middle of the room
07:43and drinking in long, desperate gulps.
07:46Seraphine!
07:47What is this?
07:48What are you drinking?
07:50It's a remedy.
07:51It can turn what's inside me.
07:53Change the snake to a dragon.
07:56Seraphine,
07:57there is no such drug in the world.
07:59You will kill your child.
08:01Good.
08:02I'd rather it die than have to do it myself.
08:05Seraphine,
08:06whatever you carries,
08:06it is still your child.
08:07If it ever knew how you treated it,
08:09it would hate you.
08:10Easy for you to say, Selene.
08:11You didn't end up carrying a wretched little snake.
08:13And don't pretend you don't know what's in your belly.
08:14Everyone's whispering that you're carrying a true heir.
08:16Try swapping what you have for what I have.
08:18Then we'll see how saintly you are.
08:20Since the physician's visit,
08:21rumors have spread through court
08:22that Selene might be carrying a true dragon heir.
08:25But everyone who knew them understood.
08:27Edric loved Selene truly.
08:28Only Seraphine believed the child was the reason.
08:38Bring both women into the palace
08:39and place them under careful watch.
08:41Even surrounded by the Dragon King's own people,
08:44Seraphine found ways to punish the child inside her.
08:47Selene watched and grieved and said nothing more.
08:49She had stopped trying.
08:51Seraphine stopped eating.
08:52Her belly swelled enormously.
08:53Her skin went dull and yellowish.
08:55Aged a decade in months.
08:57She stopped.
08:57Then she came to Selene and confessed,
08:59with tears in her eyes.
09:00I believed I had been under some kind of enchantment.
09:06All of it.
09:07I had been bewitched.
09:08I was herself again now.
09:10I intended to be a proper mother.
09:13Whatever the child was,
09:14I would raise it with love.
09:16That is all I have ever wanted to hear from you, Seraphine.
09:18I have been reading the old histories.
09:20Even a serpent-born child can ascend,
09:22with training and time.
09:24It is not hopeless.
09:25Seraphine said and smiled back.
09:27You are right, sister.
09:29I should have come to you sooner.
09:31She stayed to ask questions about the pregnancy.
09:33Selene answered everything with patience.
09:35When Seraphine left,
09:37Selene even pressed a package of restorative herbs into her hands.
09:41That night, she told Edric.
09:44I think Seraphine has finally grown up.
09:48Everyone said she had changed.
09:50Seraphine has finally come to her senses.
09:53She's a changed woman now.
09:54The warmth.
09:55The questions.
09:56The tears.
09:57It was a performance.
09:58She was planning something.
09:59A month later,
10:01with Selene's birth nearing,
10:03I need you to do something for me.
10:06The girl slipped something into Selene's drink
10:08that put her under.
10:14I heard Seraphine enter with several others.
10:18Give her the forcing drage.
10:20Once we've both delivered,
10:22swap the inference.
10:23She moved to Selene's side and laid a hand on her belly.
10:29Selene.
10:31You always love to lecture me about how it doesn't matter what comes out.
10:35Well,
10:37let's see how enlightened you are
10:39when you're the one holding the wretched thing.
10:42She laughed softly to herself,
10:43pleased with the thought.
10:44I understand it all now.
10:46The kindness.
10:47The visits.
10:47The questions.
10:48Learning which handmaids could be bought.
10:50Panic spiked through me.
10:51I kicked hard against the wound.
10:53Selene didn't stir.
10:54I felt the walls of Selene's body begin to contract.
10:56I kicked it again.
10:57More desperate now.
10:59Wake up.
10:59Please wake up.
11:00And then,
11:01impossibly.
11:05Selene's voice.
11:06She was awake.
11:07Shouting.
11:08Calling for help.
11:09Get away from me!
11:11Within moments,
11:11voices flooded in from the hall.
11:13Edric.
11:13The Dragon King.
11:14The relief that moved through me was so complete.
11:19Make way.
11:20She is in labor.
11:22Light hit me from every direction at once.
11:25I was born.
11:27The room went quiet.
11:29People looked closer.
11:30It was true.
11:31A dragon should have four.
11:32This one had one.
11:34Then someone else said quietly.
11:35It hasn't opened its eyes.
11:37It's been some time now.
11:38It should have opened its eyes.
11:40It doesn't look right.
11:41It looks like it's fading.
11:43You dare.
11:45My dragon is perfectly well.
11:46Don't you put that on my child!
11:48But even as she said it,
11:50the small golden dragon in the Dragon King's arms began to convulse.
11:54Its mouth foamed white.
11:55It shuddered once.
11:56Its head fell to the side.
11:58It was dead.
11:59The physician pushed through and examined the child.
12:01Your majesty.
12:02The air was healthy at the start.
12:03But the third princess concept consumed something during the pregnancy.
12:06I believe a harmful compound that damaged the child from the inside.
12:10It held on as long as it could.
12:12But it was never going to survive.
12:13Aldric's face darkly grabbed Seraphine by the collar.
12:17What did you take?
12:19What did you put into your body?
12:21What did you do to my son?
12:23Seraphine had gone grey.
12:25I didn't.
12:26I never.
12:27I only.
12:28Her eyes sharpened.
12:29Then she saw Selene across the room.
12:31It was her.
12:32It was Selene.
12:34She pointed.
12:34She gave me those herbs.
12:36She was jealous.
12:37She knew what I was carrying and she poisoned me.
12:39She poisoned my child!
12:40It was the gaze of a man who wanted someone to blame and had just been handed a target.
12:45Aldric turned his gaze on Selene.
12:49Seventh prince!
12:50Your wife killed my son.
12:52What do you intend to do about that?
12:55Selene was calm.
12:56She waited a beat.
12:57Then spoke.
12:57Seraphine.
12:58You say the herbs I gave you were poisoned.
13:01But I ate from the same supply.
13:03My child is right here perfectly well.
13:05Can you explain that?
13:06Have you forgotten the potion you drank?
13:08You said it could turn snakes into dragons.
13:12Everyone in that room knew about Seraphine's pregnancy.
13:15Every foolish thing she had done had been witnessed and whispered about for months.
13:19Selene's words shifted the room.
13:21People murmured.
13:22People remembered.
13:23Seraphine scrambled.
13:24She insisted compound was harmless.
13:26She demanded someone fetch the formula to prove it.
13:28The physician read it over.
13:30This compound is dangerous.
13:31It is almost certainly why the child had only two claws.
13:35Whatever was inside her it did not deserve what it endured.
13:38It is remarkable it survived as long as it did.
13:41Seraphine heard this and the color drained entirely from her face.
13:44You're saying I did this?
13:46I turned it into that?
13:48I had a true dragon all along and I did that to it myself?
13:52She stood there pulling at her own head, sinking under the weight of it.
13:56No!
13:56Then, all at once she looked up.
13:58Then we try again!
14:00She grabbed Audric's arm with both hands.
14:03No!
14:03She said,
14:03husband we try again her smile was wrong i did it once i can do it again like another pregnancy
14:11another heir another heir i know i can give you a dragon seraphine's story spread through the
14:18dragon court like fire through dry grass she had delivered a true dragon heir and it had died in
14:25the dragon king's arms within minutes of birth most people said it behind their hands and laughed
14:30seraphine didn't care she shut herself in her chambers with aldrich and got to work she was
14:34serpent born and serpent born women were extraordinarily fertile within two months
14:39she was with child again this time she was careful obsessively careful she ate well she rested she
14:45took every tonic and restorative the palace healers prescribed without argument she told everyone who
14:50would listen had a feeling a certainty that this child was a dragon people were skeptical but they
14:56believed her more than they might have otherwise she had after all conceived a true dragon voice
15:01that was more than anyone else in a hundred years could claim the dragon king sent attendance from
15:06the palace to watch over her aldrich stayed close for the first time in their marriage he was faithful
15:10and present everyone assumed this pregnancy would follow the same pattern as the first that when the
15:15time came the child would arrive and be a dragon instead she carried it for three years three years
15:21was unnatural by any measure it should have been a scandal but seraphine had heard of a figure
15:26from old legend whose mother had carried him for three years before he was born and he had become
15:30something close to divine so she put that story in circulation he told everyone this child was no
15:37ordinary little dragon it was something rarer the court chose to believe her
15:45those three years were very good to me just as i'd expected edric and selene gave me everything
15:51they played with me taught me took me everywhere even the dragon king had grown fond of me despite
15:56me being only a snake born child on my third birthday he held a feast in my honor and placed
16:01around my
16:01neck the dragon seal pendant that only dragon born princesses were meant to wear he patted my head
16:06little wren tell me do you want most whatever you say your grandfather will provide it
16:12i want the dragon king to live forever
16:16the room laughed warm genuine laughter seraphine standing at the edge of the crowd looked like
16:22she had bitten into something rotten she muttered under her breath the old man has lost his senses
16:27fussing over a little black snake that charm belongs on my child's neck not hers the feast wound down
16:34the dragon king invited me to spend the night in the palace a nursemaid led me toward my rooms but
16:39the walk felt wrong the corridors were unfamiliar we turned into an empty courtyard with no torches lit
16:44and i saw seraphine waiting in the dark i ran she caught me by the shoulder before i cleared the
16:49gate

18:17forward the gift box she had prepared inside a neat arrangement of small cakes beautifully made
18:22her attendants confirmed she had been in the kitchens all afternoon working on them
18:26she had done it in secret they said because selene didn't like ren eating sweets and she hadn't
18:32wanted selene to confiscate them people started looking at me the way adults look at children who lie

19:05us early and switch us she only failed because mother woke up in time is a lie three years ago
19:11i was
19:11carrying a true dragon heir why would i swap anything what could i possibly have gained
19:16because you weren't sure yet you thought mother might be carrying the dragon and you might be
19:20carrying the snake so you wanted to switch us before anyone found out seraphine's face went
19:25into a very particular father she is a three-year-old child making accusations about things she could not
19:30possibly have witnessed exactly everyone went still selene spoke before the silence could stretch too long
19:37my daughter does not lie if you want to know whether this is true ask the handymaid the handmaid
19:43was found the dragon king's people had ways of getting at the truth it didn't take long the
19:49testimony came back in writing every detail confirmed seraphine had bribed her the draft had been
19:54administered selene had woken before the swap could happen the dragon king read it then he dropped the
19:59paper on the floor at seraphine's feet seraphine had gone white to the lips well she's lying the
20:05testimony is a forgery selena put her up to this she and this you tried to kill my child you
20:10wanted
20:10to destroy her before she was born you have been trying to destroy her since and now you stand here
20:15and call on our bond as sisters she looked at seraphine directly for a long moment did you think of
20:22that bond when you went after her selene and edric pushed together for the dragon king to render
20:26punishment sister we are blood would you truly have me punished her over a snake the moment you went after
20:33my child you made your choice about what our bond was worth king king straightened he was about to
20:40speak seraphine dropped to the ground with a shriek my stomach the baby i think it's coming someone
20:46fetch the midwife now nothing in the dragon court could stop them not for punishment not for justice
20:53not for truth if a possible dragon air was on its way into the world the dragon king called for
20:58the
20:58midwives immediately half the court planned to find them the other half followed seraphine to her
21:02chambers to watch history happen this time birth was easy not even half a day the bundle was brought
21:08out and placed in seraphine's arms the room went absolutely silent it was a small soft pale worm barely
21:15moving a common earthworm wrapped in royal linen the dragon king's face did something complicated
21:21aldrich looked as though the floor had dropped out from under him seraphine didn't understand she was
21:25reaching for the bundle her face still open and expectant let me see my little dragon she looked
21:32what is this she whispered where is my dragon this isn't mine someone has switched them someone
21:38switched my child this isn't aldrich said his voice was flat and terrible whose child is it then then
21:45just as she had done the first time seraphine's gaze found me across the room you did this she said
21:51i know you did this i stepped back one small step instinctive nobody in the room was ready for
21:57what happened next seraphine moved fast she had a hand around my throat before anyone reached her
22:02and she had a sword from the nearest guard's belt before anyone knew she'd taken it she pressed the
22:07blade on my neck she had lost her mind entirely her voice shook with it tell me what you did
22:12i left you alone this life i left you alone and you still came after me what did you do
22:19to my
22:19child why won't you just let me have this nobody else understood what she meant
22:24what edry's learned put the blade down ring is three years old she hasn't done anything you don't
22:32understand seraphine's grip tightened she's done this to me before she ruined everything before and now
22:38she's done it again she won't stop until i have nothing she looked at me her eyes were wild and
22:43wet
22:44die she said just die no i heard selene and edric scream and then light a warming so sudden and
22:53total it
22:54swallowed the pain whole i thought scattered and then pulled back together sharp and clear i remembered
22:59the ancient after my first death i had stood before she she had offered me another chance and then as
23:05i was
23:05leaving she had said something else what had she said i had almost forgotten she had told me you are
23:11a true dragon you are a true dragon you have always been one but your dragon blood was sealed at
23:19birth
23:19it is locked in your heart and the seal can only be broken one of two ways the first is
23:24to wait until
23:25you come of age the second is to break it open yourself something fast it rose through the wound
23:32it filled my ribs my throat my skull i opened my mouth and what came out was not a scream
23:38it was a
23:39dragon's roar it tore through the room i felt my body leaving the ground i felt myself expanding into
23:46something enormous something with wings and scales and weight and i circled the hall twice enormous and
23:53gold and real and then i came back down when i returned to my small human shape the wound was
23:59gone
23:59the room stared at me shifted weren't shifted she's a true dragon she's been a true dragon this whole time
24:06i knew she wasn't ordinary the dragon kin has an heir we have an heir the room erupted seraphine stood
24:14completely stiff in the middle of it staring at me she said i was always one i told her i
24:23was one in my
24:23first life too there were two ways to unlock my blood the first was to reach adulthood the second was
24:28for
24:29my heart seal to be broken by force i looked at the sword she was still holding you never had
24:33any patience
24:33that's why you'll never be a dragon's mother before seraphine could raise the sword it was over
24:39several people moved at once she died there in the hall the small worm she had carried for three years
24:44did not outlive her for long within a few years it was gone too because i had revealed my true
24:50form
24:50the dragon king honored the oath he had made before all the court the prince whose bloodline produced a
24:55true dragon heir would take the throne on the day edric was crowned i told them everything the first life
25:01the second all of it i expected to be scolded for keeping it secret instead they both wept
25:07work she said we should be thanking you you chose us out of everyone you could have gone to you
25:13chose us
25:14that is not something we will ever take lightly dragon or slave or anything in between you were always
25:20exactly who we wanted two lives a lot of dying a lot of cruelty to wade through before i got
25:25here but i got here
