Short filmTranscript
00:00:08A mortal dares stand in the way of the Black Marsh.
00:00:15In the name of Olympus, face divine wrath!
00:00:21That thunder, Zeus, you were reborn as a mortal?
00:00:26Kneel before the power of Olympus.
00:00:31You can't save them!
00:00:33The Wendog has already smelled royal blood.
00:00:37Tonight the curse will devour Orion's soul.
00:00:40The royal court will belong to him.
00:00:45That fight drained too much power.
00:00:47I can't force the thunder again anytime soon.
00:00:50Lord Ethan, your former master left this marriage block for you.
00:00:54Lady Seraphina of the Silver Deer Clan can help you reach the heart of Northern Power.
00:00:59I just came back alive from the Black Marsh, and now you bring me a marriage pact?
00:01:03Get to the point.
00:01:04What is the Wendigo?
00:01:05The Wendigo devours souls, corrupts the royal bloodline, and uses a royal body to return.
00:01:20The royal court gave you ten years.
00:01:23Herbs, offerings, gold, hunting grounds.
00:01:26I gave you everything you asked for.
00:01:28And after all this time, you still don't even know what's wrong with my father.
00:01:31Princess Alara, please show mercy.
00:01:33King Orion's condition is unlike anything we've ever seen.
00:01:36There is nothing we can do.
00:01:38Failing to cure him is not the crime.
00:01:41Lying to this court is.
00:01:43Orin, send the royal blood oath decree to the forest, the Lake Clans, the Wastelands, and the Western Tribes.
00:01:49As you command.
00:01:51Whoever saves my father will be bound to me by a royal marriage pact.
00:01:54The royal court's granaries, the northern hunting grounds, the salt mines, and three fur trade routes will all be his.
00:02:00Princess Alara, once that decree goes out, every clan will come for you.
00:02:04Then let them come.
00:02:06If my father wakes, I will stake the entire royal court on it.
00:02:10The Black Marsh spirit is dead, but the curse remains.
00:02:13Someone here brought the Wendigo in.
00:02:16Orin, whatever it takes, find someone who can save my father.
00:02:20Princess Lyra, the blood oath decree has already gone out.
00:02:24Hold on.
00:02:27Stranger, who are you?
00:02:29Ethan, a forest healer.
00:02:32The royal court needs someone who can save the king, not a wandering healer selling tricks at the gate.
00:02:37Ten years ago, your father collapsed once at the Black Marsh border.
00:02:43Since then, every new moon and full moon, he falls into a coma.
00:02:47Tonight, once the moon rises, the Wendog curse will eat through his life force.
00:02:51How do you know that?
00:02:53Because this is not an illness.
00:02:54It is the Wendog's curse.
00:02:58One step too late, and the man you're trying to save won't be a king.
00:03:03He'll be a corpse.
00:03:09The king has no wound on his body, but his soul is being eaten piece by piece.
00:03:17For ten years, the royal court has called healers from every land, and none of them dared make that claim.
00:03:23Why should we believe a stranger with a bag of herbs?
00:03:26Because I just came back from the Black Marsh.
00:03:29These coins are enough to get you out of the borderlands.
00:03:32If you're just trying to survive, go now, and I'll pretend we never met.
00:03:38You're kind, but kindness won't save you.
00:03:41What is that supposed to mean?
00:03:42Every month, the pain comes back.
00:03:44Around the full moon, it burns so badly you can barely breathe.
00:03:48Princess?
00:03:49You and your father carry the same Black Marsh curse.
00:03:51You're young, so you can still endure it.
00:03:53King Oron won't last past her moonrise.
00:03:55Can you really save him?
00:03:56Yes.
00:03:59Fine.
00:04:00I'll take you in.
00:04:01If you remember this, you lie to me, my sister will make sure you die inside the royal court.
00:04:06Lead the way.
00:04:11Father, when you led the northern clans into the Black Marsh,
00:04:15everyone lowered their heads at the sound of Asher's war horn.
00:04:18Now every enemy is watching the royal court.
00:04:21If you don't wake up, I'll have no choice but to offer myself through the royal blood oath decree.
00:04:26I'm not afraid of marrying a stranger.
00:04:28I'm afraid you'll never wake up.
00:04:37Princess Alara, we can cure King Orion.
00:04:45Princess Alara, don't lose hope.
00:04:47I can save King Orion.
00:04:51I am Salona, High Healer of Bonecraft.
00:04:54At your service, Princess Alara.
00:04:56This is Meera, a master of sacred runes, and Rowan, a spirit curse healer.
00:05:02Welcome, healers.
00:05:04We came in responses to the royal blood oath decree.
00:05:08Princess Alara, if we wake King Orion, will we truly receive the granaries,
00:05:12the northern hunting grounds, the salt mines, and the fur trade routes?
00:05:16I do not break my word.
00:05:18Then you have nothing to fear, Princess.
00:05:20With me here, the King will wake.
00:05:23Then I place my father's life in your hands.
00:05:26I've heard Meera never needs more than three runes.
00:05:29Let's see if that legend holds.
00:05:31The more runes I can bear, the stronger the healing I can channel.
00:05:35An ordinary patient needs one.
00:05:37A gravely wounded royal needs three at most.
00:05:40The runes show the King's body is unharmed.
00:05:45But his life force is almost gone.
00:05:48I have practiced healing for decades.
00:05:50I've never seen a condition like this.
00:05:53Meera, I gave you the first chance, and you wasted it.
00:05:57Step aside.
00:05:59Three breaths.
00:06:00That is all I need to wake the King.
00:06:02Then please begin.
00:06:03My father's life depends on you.
00:06:09His breathing is steady, but the life inside him is nearly gone.
00:06:15Even my bone healing arts cannot wake him.
00:06:20Forgive me, Princess Alara.
00:06:22Even the high healer of bonecraft can do nothing?
00:06:24Princess Alara, don't lose hope yet.
00:06:27They may not see the answer.
00:06:31I still can.
00:06:37I can bring the King back from the edge of death.
00:06:41This is my clan's strongest curse pearl.
00:06:43If King Orion has even one breath left, I can pull him back.
00:06:53Stop.
00:06:59You dare interrupt the King's healer?
00:07:01Do you have any idea where you are?
00:07:04Sister, his name is Ethan.
00:07:06He said he can cure father.
00:07:08So I brought him in to try.
00:07:10This is not a village market.
00:07:12A wandering healer has no place near the King's bed.
00:07:15A forest healer in a ragged cloak thinks he can decide King Orion's faith?
00:07:19Sister, I didn't believe him at first either.
00:07:21But the moment he saw me, he knew about the pain I've been hiding.
00:07:24He isn't an ordinary healer.
00:07:26He understands healing arts, and he can see curse energy.
00:07:30Father won't survive until nightfall.
00:07:31I can't just stand here and wait for the ancestors to take him.
00:07:35Princess Alara, three healers from the sacred altar are standing right here.
00:07:38Bringing in an outsider is not seeking help.
00:07:41It is is an insult.
00:07:42He doesn't even carry a complete sacred mark.
00:07:45A man like that can't summon sacred light.
00:07:47You checked his breathing.
00:07:50But you missed the real curse.
00:07:52Your light can heal flesh.
00:07:53It can't reach a soul that has already been hollowed out.
00:07:59The royal court would rather trust a stranger from the forest.
00:08:03Then we have no reason to accept this royal blood oak decree.
00:08:05Rowan, please stay!
00:08:07Your name has reached the west bank, and even the north.
00:08:11I believe you can wake my father.
00:08:13As for him...
00:08:15Remove this man from the King's chamber.
00:08:18Guards!
00:08:19Take him out of the royal court!
00:08:23Sister!
00:08:24They can't hurt me.
00:08:26If Princess Alara refuses to listen, I'll leave.
00:08:29But after I'm gone, King Orion will not survive tonight's moonrise.
00:08:35When that happens, not even the gods above will be able to pull his soul back!
00:08:39Trying to scare us with old ancestor tales now?
00:08:42I doubt you can even say what illness King Orion has.
00:08:46Of course I can't.
00:08:47Because King Orion is not sick at all.
00:08:53King Orion has been unconscious on that bed, and you claim he isn't sick?
00:08:57Lying in front of a king takes nerve.
00:08:59You're just a wandering healer trying to make your name through the royal decree.
00:09:05Ethan!
00:09:07If you can save father, prove it now.
00:09:10If my sister's oath is not enough, I am willing to join the same marriage pact with you.
00:09:15So that's it.
00:09:17You came for the marriage pact and the royal court's lands.
00:09:20With the three of us here today, we'll expose him for what he is, and show the royal court that
00:09:25healing arts are not something anyone can fake.
00:09:27I thought you simply couldn't break the curse.
00:09:30I didn't realize you couldn't even see it.
00:09:33He is under the ancient Wendigo curse.
00:09:34The Wendigo curse?
00:09:36What is that?
00:09:36An ancient evil spirit from the depths of the Black Marsh.
00:09:40It feeds on souls, fear, greed, and the blood of kings.
00:09:46At first, the cursed person sleeps, fears the cold, and dreams of black antlers.
00:09:50Then the soul is eaten away piece by piece.
00:09:53Once the soul is gone, he may never truly wake again.
00:09:56The Wendigo will wear the king's body and sit on his throne.
00:09:59Then the border royal court will fall into chaos.
00:10:02Every clan will turn on the others.
00:10:04Impossible.
00:10:05You expect the Ash Court to believe that story just because you said it?
00:10:09Princess Alara, remove him at once.
00:10:11The royal decreed and the honor of the Ash Court cannot be dragged down by some wandering fraud.
00:10:17But...
00:10:18Father's symptoms match everything he said.
00:10:23Ethan!
00:10:24Please save my father!
00:10:26Don't touch him yet.
00:10:27According to the old altar scrolls, the Wendigo curse is forbidden magic from the deepest part of the Black Marsh.
00:10:34But that curse was sealed inside the Black Marsh 50 years ago by the northern clans.
00:10:39It should not exist anymore.
00:10:40How would a forest healer know about it?
00:10:42Princess Alara, I suspect he was sent by the Black Marsh.
00:10:45He may be the one who brought this curse into the royal court.
00:10:48A fraud like him should be hanged.
00:10:50Ethan, who are you really?
00:10:52Princess Alara, trust me and I will save the king.
00:10:56Refuse me and I walk out of the royal court.
00:10:58Sister, if he were with the Black Marsh he would not have stopped Rowan's curse pearl.
00:11:02The three healers have no answer.
00:11:04Right now he is our only chance.
00:11:07If Princess Alara trusts a fraud, the royal court may pay the price for it.
00:11:11But in ten years no one has ever named my father's symptoms this clearly.
00:11:17Ethan, I'll give you one chance.
00:11:21For Princess Lyra's trust, I will save King Orion.
00:11:28This room is not safe for removing the curse.
00:11:30If you want him saved, Princess Alara must come with me to the royal bedroom.
00:11:36I knew it!
00:11:37You were never here to save the king.
00:11:39You had your eyes on the princess from the start.
00:11:42I have trained at the sacred altar for years.
00:11:44I have never heard of a cure that must be performed away from everyone else.
00:11:48Princess Alara, he's using the king's illness as an excuse to get close to you.
00:11:51To draw the wendigo out, I need someone from his bloodline.
00:11:54When royal blood is near, the curse will leave King Orion.
00:11:57If anyone interferes, the curse will panic and panic, finish consuming what's left of the king's soul.
00:12:02Absurd!
00:12:06You lying fraud!
00:12:07I'll expose you right now!
00:12:12Not bad for curse work.
00:12:14Too bad you're not strong enough.
00:12:16Ethan, I'm father's daughter too.
00:12:18Can my bloodline draw the curse out?
00:12:20Yes.
00:12:21Sister, let me go.
00:12:22As long as father wakes, I'll accept any punishment, even if I'm dragged through the streets in chains.
00:12:27You're not going.
00:12:29Sister!
00:12:30I am your older sister, and I am the one holding this court together.
00:12:33It should be me.
00:12:34Oryn, take six ironclad knights and guard the door.
00:12:38If anything happens to me, seize Ethan immediately.
00:12:40As you command.
00:12:41If I don't come out, you take control of Ash Royal Court.
00:12:44Put your hands where they don't belong and I'll kill you before I go to my father.
00:12:47I only save lives.
00:12:49Take the king to the royal bedroom.
00:12:51We begin before moonrise.
00:12:52Until the ritual is over, no one enters.
00:12:57If that door opens, the curse will be startled. King Orion will die.
00:13:02What do I do?
00:13:05Take off your robe.
00:13:06What?
00:13:09Say that again.
00:13:10Remove the outer robe.
00:13:13Unfasten the silver bone belt.
00:13:16Ethan, I gave you a chance to save the king, not a chance to insult my family.
00:13:23The Wendigo follows royal blood.
00:13:26That is how we draw it out.
00:13:28The more you are covered, the harder it is for the curse to sense your bloodline.
00:13:33It won't come out.
00:13:34Every word you say had better be true.
00:13:48See that?
00:13:52Is that enough?
00:13:54Not yet.
00:13:55Move closer to the fire.
00:14:02It senses you.
00:14:05Then let it come out.
00:14:07My body still can't withstand the thunder.
00:14:10But divine light shall be enough.
00:14:12If it hurts, make a sound.
00:14:16Save the advice.
00:14:17Blood of the crown, draw it out.
00:14:22Soul flame, hold it here.
00:14:25It's looking at me.
00:14:26Don't let it reach your eyes.
00:14:29Leave her!
00:14:31Ethan!
00:14:33Hurry!
00:14:35Come out!
00:14:45Princess Lyra, Princess Alara is locked inside the royal bedroom with an outsider.
00:14:50Are you truly not worried?
00:14:53My sister gave her order.
00:14:55Until the ritual ends, no one enters.
00:14:58Princess Alara is the current ruler of the royal court.
00:15:01If anything happens to her, Ash royal court will fall apart.
00:15:04Princess Lyra, aren't you afraid he'll take advantage of your sister?
00:15:08My sister trusts him.
00:15:10So do I.
00:15:15Sister!
00:15:16Princess Lyra, did you hear that?
00:15:17What?
00:15:18That outsider may be hurting Princess Alara.
00:15:20The royal family can still save its honor.
00:15:23Stop him now before it is too late.
00:15:25If you keep waiting, the entire Ash royal court will regret it.
00:15:29Until the ritual is over, no one enters.
00:15:33My sister said no one enters before the ritual ends.
00:15:35I trust my sister.
00:15:37No one can force her into anything.
00:15:41Sister?
00:15:41You heard that.
00:15:42That does not sound like healing.
00:15:45The High Princess's bedchamber is no place for a filthy peasant to satisfy his sick desires.
00:15:52If you don't go in now, it will be too late.
00:15:56Don't let it reach your eyes!
00:15:59Eyes?
00:16:00Princess Lyra, Princess Alara may already be in danger.
00:16:04Without Princess Alarsa's order, the door stays closed.
00:16:09If I don't come out, you take control of Ash royal court.
00:16:14Oren.
00:16:14Princess Lyra.
00:16:16Open the door.
00:16:17But Princess Alara said...
00:16:18I am in command of the Ash court now.
00:16:22Open it.
00:16:27Stand back!
00:16:37Stand back!
00:16:41Stand back!
00:16:42Sister!
00:16:44Careful!
00:16:44Come out!
00:16:48Sorry.
00:16:49Look at me.
00:16:50Don't look at it.
00:16:58Now!
00:17:01Sister!
00:17:03Ethan.
00:17:03Let go of the Princess.
00:17:05Now!
00:17:10Take your hands off me!
00:17:13The ancient Wendigo curse has truly returned.
00:17:17The Black Marsh seal could not have broken on its own.
00:17:19Someone inside the royal court released the Wendau.
00:17:24Sister, are you hurt?
00:17:26Who told you to come in?
00:17:28I hurt.
00:17:29Princess Alara, we all saw what happened.
00:17:31That outsider removed your robe and put his hands on you.
00:17:34Sister, did he really save you?
00:17:36The curse was going for my eyes.
00:17:38He saved me.
00:17:41The curse is gone.
00:17:43Why has my father not woken up?
00:17:45His soul needs time to return.
00:17:47When the Cedar Fire dies down for the third time, he'll wake.
00:17:50Easy to say.
00:17:51And if he doesn't wake?
00:17:52If he doesn't wake,
00:17:54the Wendrig will rip this entire court apart and destroy all of us.
00:17:59This matter is finished.
00:18:01This matter is finished.
00:18:02Finished?
00:18:02I still have an old marriage pact to settle.
00:18:05Marriage contract?
00:18:06You crossed a line with Princess Alara, and now you think you can leave?
00:18:10Until the King wakes, you are not taking one step out of here.
00:18:13Before King Aryan wakes, you'd better stay.
00:18:16Otherwise, I can't promise you'll leave this room alive.
00:18:18If I want to leave, no one here can stop me.
00:18:22Stop.
00:18:24Stop.
00:18:27Father!
00:18:28Father is awake!
00:18:31Who is this?
00:18:33You weren't sick.
00:18:34You were under a Wendigo curse.
00:18:36A Wendog curse?
00:18:40Ethan removed the curse and saved your life.
00:18:44You're young, but your healing is extraordinary.
00:18:48Bring it in.
00:18:49This seal grants rights to the salt mines,
00:18:52and this is the Border Court's Blackstone token.
00:18:55With this token, you will be treated as an honored guest of the Crown.
00:18:59Thank you, Your Majesty.
00:19:00You saved my life, Ethan.
00:19:02Please accept this small token of gratitude.
00:19:06You are too kind, Your Majesty.
00:19:08I don't save people because of rank.
00:19:10I save them because I choose to.
00:19:12Since you have saved my father, I will honor my promise.
00:19:17I will honor the Royal Marriage Pact with you.
00:19:20Princess Alara, I appreciate your kindness,
00:19:22but I am already bound by an ancient marriage pact
00:19:25with Lady Serafina of the Silver Stag Clan.
00:19:27The appointed time is almost here.
00:19:29I should leave.
00:19:33It seems you and Ethan were not meant for each other.
00:19:36If that is so, I will not force him to stay.
00:19:38Ethan, from now on, whenever you need anything,
00:19:42the Border Court will stand with you.
00:19:44There is one thing I need your help with.
00:19:47The Border Court has power and reach.
00:19:49Help me find the one who released the Wendog curse.
00:19:52Help me put an end to that person and bring peace back to the Northern clans.
00:19:55I will.
00:19:56I swear I will find whoever did this.
00:19:59I'll take my leave.
00:20:02Your Majesty, since you are safe now, we will leave you to rest.
00:20:06The three healers have done their part.
00:20:08Prepare a generous gift for each of them.
00:20:13Father, the curse has only just been lifted.
00:20:15You should rest.
00:20:16I can investigate where the Wendog curse came from.
00:20:19Alara, in the North there has only ever been one enemy.
00:20:22The Black Raven Clan.
00:20:24In the North, only the Black Raven Clan stands as an equal to our court.
00:20:28But I never thought they would dare curse me under my own roof.
00:20:32Then it is time we settle the score.
00:20:35Wait!
00:20:36What is it?
00:20:37Ethan said he has an ancient marriage pact with Lady Serafina of the Silvestad Clan.
00:20:41But tonight, the Silvestad Clan's marriage pact is with Cassian, heir of the Black Raven Clan.
00:20:47Don't panic.
00:20:48The Black Raven Clan may have brought trouble on itself this time.
00:20:52Father, why do you say that?
00:20:53A hundred years ago, the Black Marsh curse was burned away by the thunder of the old gods.
00:20:59Few people now even know of the Wendigo curse, let alone how to break it.
00:21:02But Ethan, young as he is, saw the curse and pulled my soul back from the Black Marsh.
00:21:09He carries ancient thunder power.
00:21:11Ancient thunder?
00:21:12He really isn't an ordinary forest healer.
00:21:14Behind him there may be a god.
00:21:17If the Silvestad Clan truly holds his old marriage pact, then they have a blessing they may never deserve.
00:21:22The Silvestad Clan has grown weak over the years.
00:21:26All they know is how to bow to stronger clans.
00:21:28The Black Raven Clan controls the northern trade roads and iron mines.
00:21:32They have grown so arrogant they have forgotten the Ash Court.
00:21:35The Silvestad Clan will reject Ethan when he arrives.
00:21:38I'll go help him.
00:21:47The Silvestad Clan finally bet the nay.
00:21:50Marrying into the Black Raven Clan is Seraphina's good fortune.
00:21:52I heard she already had an old marriage pact.
00:21:54A pact from years ago.
00:21:55That won't stop the Black Raven Clan.
00:22:15The Silver Deer Chieftains are here.
00:22:21I heard Seraphina made an old marriage pact years ago.
00:22:24Then why is she entering a marriage alliance with the Black Raven Clan tonight?
00:22:28The Black Raven Clan controls the northern iron mines and trade roads.
00:22:32Who would dare refuse them?
00:22:33For a small clan, tying themselves to Black Raven is an opportunity others would kill for.
00:22:41My daughter Seraphina was indeed saved by an outsider years ago.
00:22:45And the old chief of the Silver Stare Clan did arrange an old marriage pact for her.
00:22:48But the man who swore that oath is long dead.
00:22:50As chief of the Silver Stare Clan, I will not allow anyone to use an old pact to trade on
00:22:54our name.
00:22:55The Silvestad Clan is using Black Raven to survive while abandoning an old oath.
00:22:59Everyone should look carefully at whose banner hangs here, before speaking.
00:23:03The Silver Stag Clan cannot afford Black Raven's wrath, and neither can any of you.
00:23:07If that forest haemur does not show up, the old oath can still keep what little dignity it has left.
00:23:13If he dares come, Black Raven will crush him into the mud.
00:23:18Who said they would crush me into the mud?
00:23:24Who are you?
00:23:25My name is Ethan. I have come to fulfill my marriage pact with Seraphina.
00:23:32I didn't think you would actually dare come.
00:23:34A wandering healer from the Black Marsh border really thinks he can enter a marriage pact with Seraphina?
00:23:39Even a mud-soaked nobody thinks he can look up at a silver gare now.
00:23:44But Ethan, since you came, I'll make this clear.
00:23:47Your old marriage pact with Seraphina is void. I, Aldric, declare it.
00:23:51Do you know the old Silver Stag Chief begged for this pact before the ancestral altar?
00:23:55The Silver Stag Clan is no longer what it was 16 years ago.
00:24:00Today, the Silver Stag Clan has tied itself to Black Raven.
00:24:03What are you, a wandering healer, compared to that?
00:24:06Our Seraphina is gonna marry Cassian, heir of the Black Raven Clan.
00:24:09And you, some border healer with a medicine bag, think you can cling to her with an old pact?
00:24:13Look at yourself. Mud, blood and poverty all over you.
00:24:20So the stray dog found a bigger kennel. No wonder it barks so loudly.
00:24:27Ethan, I'm warning you, don't push this too far.
00:24:31You are just holding an old pact someone handed you, trying to force your way into the Silver Stag Clan.
00:24:37The Silver Stag Clan does not want to humiliate you completely.
00:24:42Take these coins and crawl back to the Black Marsh border.
00:24:46Ethan, someone shoved that old plot into your hands.
00:24:49That does not mean Seraphina must marry you.
00:24:51The old chief who made that oath is dead.
00:24:54The Silver Stag Clan now answers to Aldric.
00:24:57You clearly don't understand.
00:24:58This pact carries a blood oath sworn before the ancestors and the old gods.
00:25:02Break it, and thunder will answer.
00:25:05The Silver Stag Clan will pay in blood.
00:25:08Thunder will answer? Really?
00:25:11Ridiculous.
00:25:12Stop hiding behind old gods and dead men.
00:25:14Tonight this pact dies, and we can afford the price.
00:25:18Does Lady Seraphina think the same?
00:25:31Yes.
00:25:36Ethan, you should not have come today.
00:25:41Lady Seraphina, you also think I came here to use the Silver Stag name?
00:25:46What else would it be?
00:25:50The Silver Stag Clan is returning to power.
00:25:52Now we are forming a marriage alliance with the Black Raven Clan.
00:25:56You came dragging out an old pact from years ago because you want to use our name to force your
00:26:01way into northern robility.
00:26:02This old marriage pact exists, yes, but it was an old oath left by the former chief.
00:26:06The man who swore it is dead.
00:26:08Now my father rules the Silver Stag Clan.
00:26:11And I have already agreed to marry Cassian, heir of the Black Raven Clan.
00:26:14He can bring the Silver Stag Clan back into northern power.
00:26:17You are nothing. You cannot give the Silver Thor Clan a future.
00:26:19I will be the Lady of Black Raven Hulk.
00:26:21And you are just a wandering healer from the Black Marsh border.
00:26:24The entire north stands between us.
00:26:26I have never seen someone make betrayal sound so dignified.
00:26:31Ethan, who do you think you are?
00:26:32You have no right to lecture the Silver Stag Clan.
00:26:35I would rather marry a dog from the stables than marry a man like you!
00:26:41You are just a border healer from the Black Marsh and you really think the gods chose you?
00:26:46And you dream of marrying my daughter?
00:26:49Wake up!
00:26:49This pact was sworn by the Silver Stag ancestors themselves.
00:26:53I did not come today to beg for your approval.
00:26:55I came to end this pact.
00:26:57Today, I withdraw from this pact.
00:26:59Once I severed it, the Silver Stag Clan will bear the consequences.
00:27:03Your banner will fall and your bloodline will suffer.
00:27:06At my daughter's wedding feast, a border healer dares curse the Silver Thor Clan?
00:27:11Guards! Drag him out!
00:27:15Your disaster is already here.
00:27:17And you are still laughing.
00:27:20Ethan, enough!
00:27:22He brought this on himself.
00:27:33Someone is causing trouble inside Black Raven Keep?
00:27:39Let's see how a border healer plans to bring disaster on the Silver Stag bloodline.
00:27:46On this land, there are nobles, vassals, and gutter-borne trash.
00:27:50The Black Raven Clan stands at the top.
00:27:53The Silver Thag Clan is noble.
00:27:55And you, a border healer from the Black Marsh, think you can step into a noble wedding feast?
00:28:01Do you even deserve it?
00:28:03Who are you?
00:28:06Cassian of the Black Raven Clan!
00:28:09Never heard of you.
00:28:11Do you have a death wish?
00:28:13Be smart. Cancel the contract and get out of Black Raven Heat.
00:28:17Otherwise, I'll skin you and hang you on the Black Raven Gate.
00:28:24A pact witnessed by Ancient Thunder is not yours to touch.
00:28:29The Divine Thunder Healer's old oath, and a border healer like you thinks you can claim it?
00:28:34Cassian, who is the Divine Thunder Healer?
00:28:39The Divine Thunder Healer is the source of ancient healing arts.
00:28:42Legend says that power came from Zeus, King of Olympus.
00:28:46They say he hides in the ruins of Olympus.
00:28:48He can bring souls back and decide life or death.
00:28:51He can also summon thunder and cleanse Black Marsh curses.
00:28:57In the North, that name is forbidden.
00:29:04Sadly, that kind of power would never fall on a border healer from the Black Marsh.
00:29:13The Divine Thunder Healer?
00:29:16Does that power really exist?
00:29:22In this contract.
00:29:24Anyone who falsely invokes the Divine Thunder Healer and offends the old gods of Olympus will suffer divine backlash.
00:29:29Even a royal bloodline can wither.
00:29:32Their banner will fall.
00:29:34If you steal Thunder's name, True Thunder will come to judge you.
00:29:37You're making it sound more dramatic than it is.
00:29:40But my healing is a little stronger than an ordinary healer's.
00:29:45I was talking about the Divine Thunder Healer.
00:29:48What does that have to do with you?
00:29:50Ethan, if you don't leave now, I really won't be able to protect you.
00:29:55Serafina, the former Silver Stag Chief, begged for this pack at the old gods' altar.
00:29:59He knelt for seven days to secure it.
00:30:01It was a lifeline for the Silver Stag Clan.
00:30:03And this is how you treat it?
00:30:05Today, I, Serafina, turn my back on this old oath.
00:30:13What can you do about it?
00:30:16I will be the one to break this pact.
00:30:23We're destroying this worthless pact today.
00:30:27What are you gonna do about it?
00:30:30Hmph.
00:30:31The pact is broken.
00:30:33Zeus' punishment begins now.
00:30:39You really believe your own act, don't you?
00:30:43You think you're Zeus, Reorn?
00:30:46Zeus' punishment?
00:30:48The Silver Stag Clan is rising with Black Raven.
00:30:51You are the one waving around a torn old pact and scamming people.
00:30:53If anyone deserves punishment, it's you.
00:30:56Please.
00:30:56You spent too much time at the Black Marsh border,
00:30:58and now you think you can call down divine punishment?
00:31:05Ethan, open your eyes and watch closely.
00:31:07From this day on, I stand under the Black Raven banner.
00:31:11No one in the North can touch me.
00:31:12Even if Zeus' punishment exists,
00:31:14what can it do to the Silver Stag Clan?
00:31:16Zeus' punishment has already begun.
00:31:20Every member of the Silver Stag Clan carries the curse.
00:31:24You're hopeless.
00:31:25The Silver Stag hunting grounds will fall.
00:31:28Your clan treasury will be emptied.
00:31:30The salt mines, mountain roads, and fur trade routes will all be lost.
00:31:38The Silver Stag Clan is not some easy target.
00:31:41Who are you?
00:31:42A border healer to threaten me with loss.
00:31:45The Silver Stag Clan could crush you without effort.
00:31:48Ethan, this is all about money, isn't it?
00:31:51There's a full bag of gold coins in here.
00:31:54Enough for you to live on for the rest of your life.
00:31:59Take the money and leave.
00:32:01Don't delay my wedding with Lady Serafina.
00:32:05Stop it.
00:32:07You've seen one corner of the world and think you own the sky.
00:32:11The Black Raven clan rules the North.
00:32:13If I want you dead,
00:32:15no one here will dare keep you alive.
00:32:18You're already at death's door,
00:32:19and you're still talking.
00:32:41Princess Alara!
00:32:44Speak.
00:32:45News from Black Raven keep.
00:32:47Cassian publicly humiliated Ethan at the wedding feast.
00:32:50Cassian?
00:32:51The Silver Stag Clan also tore up the old marriage bad in public and tried to drive Ethan out of
00:32:55the keep.
00:32:55They dared insult Ethan.
00:32:57They must have a death wish.
00:32:59To Black Raven Holt.
00:33:01Now.
00:33:03Even with death staring you in the face, you still act tough.
00:33:07Today, I'll teach you how the North works.
00:33:09Zeus.
00:33:17Zeus's punishment has begun.
00:33:21Zeus's punishment really happened.
00:33:24Could he really be Zeus reborn?
00:33:26The Silver Stag Clan offended Zeus reborn.
00:33:28They're finished, aren't they?
00:33:31Impossible!
00:33:32Zeus is the king of Olympus.
00:33:34Even Black Raven only knows his name from legend.
00:33:36How could this man possibly be Zeus?
00:33:40In front of me,
00:33:41the Black Raven clan is nothing but small men pretending to be kings.
00:33:45Ethan!
00:33:46What did you do to us?
00:33:49This is Zeus's punishment.
00:33:51You'd better start making peace with your gods.
00:33:54You're not leaving!
00:33:55I'll cut you down myself!
00:33:57The healer Phelan has arrived.
00:34:09Ethan.
00:34:10Felan is one of the North's sacred healers.
00:34:12He serves the Black Raven clan.
00:34:14He has saved more lives than you've ever touched.
00:34:16With him here, your cheap tricks mean nothing.
00:34:20Master Healer Felan is here!
00:34:22We're saved!
00:34:28I came with a gift.
00:34:30To celebrate the wedding of Cassian, heir of the Black Raven clan.
00:34:34Celebrate what?
00:34:35My bride's whole family was nearly killed by this border healer!
00:34:38Look at them!
00:34:39Now!
00:34:40Someone dares harm Lord Cassier's bride and her family at his own wedding feast.
00:34:43Bold!
00:34:44I'll warn you once, stay out of this.
00:34:46You can't save them, and you don't want to get dragged in.
00:34:49You look like you've studied healing for a few years.
00:34:51Too bad your heart has rotten.
00:34:53You dare curse people at Lord Cassian's wedding feast.
00:34:56Ethan, your cheap little tricks are nothing before Master Healer Felan.
00:35:00Some people only learn when death is at their door.
00:35:02First Holy Seal, open the body.
00:35:06Sacred Light, drive out the curse!
00:35:09Second Holy Seal, steady the soul.
00:35:12Life, return to the body.
00:35:15Third Holy Seal, lock the darkness.
00:35:18Turn back death.
00:35:20Bind the soul.
00:35:28Lord Cassian, the Holy Seals are complete.
00:35:30They're safe now.
00:35:32I really feel fine.
00:35:35I don't feel any pain at all.
00:35:37Master Healer, Felan, your power is extraordinary.
00:35:39Ethan, this is real healing.
00:35:41A border healer like you can't compare.
00:35:44After coughing up that black blood, I feel so much lighter.
00:35:47The pain is gone too.
00:35:49Thank you, Master Healer Felan.
00:35:51Your healing is unmatched.
00:35:54Lady Myra, your family were merely under a dark curse.
00:35:57I've suppressed it with Holy Seals.
00:36:00You're all fine now.
00:36:01Thank you, Master Healer Felan.
00:36:04Ethan, you despicable border fraud!
00:36:07You dared put a dark curse on us?
00:36:09Kneel and apologize!
00:36:10Now!
00:36:11Master Healer Felman has already exposed your little curse trick.
00:36:15Now it's time we settle our score.
00:36:17Exactly.
00:36:18You people truly are shameless.
00:36:20So now that you've been exposed, you're lashing out?
00:36:23I am Zeus Reborn.
00:36:24I don't rely on cheap curses.
00:36:28He only delayed Zeus' punishment for one minute.
00:36:34Stop trying to scare us.
00:36:36Give up now.
00:36:37Otherwise, I'll make sure there's nothing left of you.
00:36:41Your Holy Seals have some use.
00:36:44But Zeus' punishment cannot be undone.
00:36:47Young man, I admit your curse work is not bad.
00:36:49Too bad you chose the wrong path.
00:36:52All you know is how to scare people with cheap curses.
00:36:57Zeus may be the legendary king of gods.
00:36:59And his punishment may be feared.
00:37:02But no one alive has truly seen it.
00:37:05Every curse can be contained.
00:37:06Today, I'll show you.
00:37:08You'd better come over here and apologize.
00:37:11Otherwise, I'll teach you how to crawl like a dog.
00:37:16You're not worth my time.
00:37:20I'll talk.
00:37:22Lord Cassian, don't dirty your hands with this arrogant fool.
00:37:25Let me handle him.
00:37:26Leave him alive.
00:37:27I'm not done playing yet.
00:37:29Zeus' punishment begins in 30 seconds.
00:37:32Still playing God?
00:37:34I've practiced healing for over 30 years.
00:37:37I've seen every kind of trick.
00:37:39I'll seal your body and leave you crippled.
00:37:41Let's see how long you keep talking.
00:37:44Looks like Master Healing is serious now.
00:37:47That Border Healer is finished.
00:37:49What a shame. He's still young.
00:37:51He chose the wrong road. He brought this on himself.
00:37:54Ten seconds.
00:37:55At least you can count down to your own death.
00:38:00Three.
00:38:02First Holy Seal.
00:38:04Lock his legs.
00:38:17Second Holy Seal.
00:38:19Lock your throat.
00:38:20Let's see you keep playing God now.
00:38:23Third Holy Seal.
00:38:25Seal your whole body.
00:38:27Punish your arrogance.
00:38:29Kneel!
00:38:30One.
00:38:40This is...
00:38:41It's impossible.
00:38:43You Border Healer.
00:38:44What did you do to me?
00:38:46Zeus' punishment cannot be reversed.
00:38:48Know your place.
00:38:50Zeus.
00:38:54Is this...
00:38:55Zeus' punishment?
00:38:57You...
00:38:57You really are Zeus reborn?
00:39:06What happened to Master Healer Felon was too strange.
00:39:08Was that really Zeus' punishment?
00:39:11Legend says Zeus commands thunder and rules life and death.
00:39:15Master Healer Felon dared stand against Zeus.
00:39:17No wonder this happened to him.
00:39:20Zeus? Him?
00:39:22Everyone, you've been fooled by his Black Marsh sorcery.
00:39:25Zeus' punishment? It's a scare tactic.
00:39:26That was clearly a forbidden Black Marsh spell, a lost curse technique.
00:39:29He is not Zeus.
00:39:30He is a Black Marsh heretic.
00:39:32That's right.
00:39:33My grandfather once spoke of the Black Marsh calamities.
00:39:36Those dark arts are known for disguising themselves as divine punishment.
00:39:39He used Black Marsh sorcery to impersonate Zeus.
00:39:42The Black Marks on the ground are proof.
00:39:44A man like this must be driven out of the north.
00:39:48Master Healer Felon served Black Roven for years and saved countless noble bloodlines.
00:39:54And today, he was harmed by a Black Marsh heretic.
00:39:58If we allow a heretic like this to run free.
00:40:01Today, Master Healer Felon falls.
00:40:03Tomorrow, it could be all of you.
00:40:05And your clans.
00:40:09Your parents, your wives, your children.
00:40:12He'll come for all of them.
00:40:15Are you done?
00:40:17Are you done?
00:40:20Zeus' punishment owes you no explanation.
00:40:26Cast out the Black Marsh heretic!
00:40:28Protect the North!
00:40:30Cast out the Black Marsh heretic!
00:40:32Protect the North!
00:40:33Cast out the Black Marsh heretic!
00:40:35Protect the North!
00:40:41Cast out the Marsh heretic!

00:55:30seraphina's marriage partner tonight was cassian the black raven clan is a top power in the north they are
00:55:35not as strong as ash royal house but they cannot be underestimated after the silflog clan tied themselves to
00:55:40black raven they became even more argant father was worried you would be humiliated here so he sent

00:55:52harmed you it's nothing what can a few black ravens and silver stocks do to me princess alara you came

00:56:44seraphina has a rare frost bloodline lord morvaine specifically wanted her bringing her into the black
00:56:51raven clan was the most important part your arrogance and blindness ruined something that mattered
00:56:55is it really that mystical i don't believe the black raven clan falls apart without seraphina

00:58:15energy she is an even better vessel for a new curse seed than seraphina princess lyra is inside ash royal
00:58:20court the guards there are tight she is not in the royal court she is in the east tower of
00:58:27your black
00:58:28raven clan right now in 15 minutes i want her standing before me otherwise you know what happens
00:58:35i understand i understand lord ethan you're here please sit no need for formalities treat this as your
00:58:47own home king orion didn't i tell you to rest why are you pushing yourself thanks to you lord ethan
00:58:54i'm already much better when you treated me you said the illness came from the wendigo curse
00:59:02you asked me to investigate who planted it and tell you once i found a lead
00:59:06i came as soon as i found something king orion speak plainly ten years ago when my mother passed
00:59:13away ash royal court had just begun rising we were blocked at every turn on my way back to the
00:59:19royal
00:59:19court i met an old man in a black robe he said we were faded and gave me a jar
00:59:23of black
00:59:23marsh herbs for free he told me the herbs must not be boiled or drank if the herbs weren't for
00:59:29drinking what were they for to place at the bedside and ward off evil and then then everything
00:59:36began going smoothly for ash royal court after that it became one of the strongest courts in the north
00:59:42lord ethan you truly see through everything from that day on i would lose consciousness from time to time
00:59:48until i met you lord ethan those were not soul calming herbs they carried the window curse the price of
00:59:53ash royal court's rise was the royal bloodline being drained while the court was destroyed from within
01:00:02lord ethan you saved my family's lives after i woke up that jar of black marsh herbs disappeared
01:00:09i searched my memory and found a clue to that person
01:00:13we learned that the last place he appeared was the black marsh border the black marsh border
01:00:20isn't that where the wendigo is sealed i remember now when that old man in the black robe gave me
01:00:25the
01:00:25black marsh herbs he asked me if i wanted revenge
01:00:32revenge revenge what was that about back then the herbs and gold coins meant to save my mother's
01:00:37life were stolen by bandits on the road her treatment was delayed in the end she still passed away
01:00:48so that was when you met the old man in the black robe i was in despair when i met
01:00:52him the first thing
01:00:53he asked was whether i wanted revenge did you ever see him again after that never so he knew what
01:01:01you
01:01:01wanted most i remember something else father please tell us everything at once that old man wore a black
01:01:09robe with a black cloak over it on the cloak there was a very clear black sun emblem
01:01:17there's a curse in the teeth don't drink it lord ethan how is alara princess alana was hit by the
01:01:28curse
01:01:28in the tea she'll be safe for now but the curse inside princess alana is a soul link curse
01:01:36it is different from the wendigo curse that was inside you the soul stays in the body the person lives
01:01:41if not the body can be taken over the source of this curse is not inside princess alara what alara
01:01:47drank the herbal tea how can the source not be inside her lord ethan please tell me the curse seed
01:01:50is inside princess lyra lord morvain as you requested i brought her here
01:02:01who are you what do you want don't be afraid princess lyra i simply wanted to invite you for tea

01:02:13your father king
01:02:14arian and i are old friends without my black marsh medicine ash royal court would never have become
01:02:20the strongest court in the north in other words in the north i decide who lived my father may have
01:02:27taken your medicine but ash royal court rose because of him what does that have to do with you i
01:02:32helped

01:02:44what are you doing drink it no more talking
01:02:55one soul two lives bind their pain link them across distance life and death as one
01:03:04what what did you do to me nothing much just a soul link curse this curse connects your life with
01:03:11alara's if her curse is removed you die but if it isn't removed your sister dies in one hour
01:03:19now i want to see which daughter king orion chooses to save princess alara or you
01:03:27you're disgusting don't worry i'm only playing with your royal court if i wanted you dead you
01:03:34wouldn't survive today send princess lila back

01:03:57the curse seat is inside princess lyra if i remove princess alara's curse princess lyra will suffer the
01:04:02entire time and may even die but if i don't remove it in one hour princess alara will itch all
01:04:06over

01:05:29morvaine just as i thought darian wanted to curse me and kill me i'll make him pay for this king
01:05:35orion

01:05:39link curse only one of them can be saved do you have a way me to the bedroom i have
01:05:44a plan orrin is

01:06:22ethan i don't know how much longer my body can hold out
01:06:29lord ethan the man who cursed us said only one of us can live is that yes and save my
01:06:36sister she's
01:06:37stronger than i am just like father i believe she can take ash royal halt further than i ever could
01:06:42princess lyra don't worry normally the soul link curse allows only one person to live but i don't
01:06:47follow normal rules both of you will be fine lord ethan you can save both of us yes but the
01:06:53curse is easy
01:06:54to break the evil inside people is much harder what do you mean i'll break the curse first after
01:07:01princess alara wakes we'll talk lie down close your eyes and remove your outer robe
01:07:13thunder light of zeus separate their souls darkness withdraw life return souls return to your bodies
01:07:22soul link curse break apart
01:07:27watch out
01:07:31watch out
01:07:36ethan you're more capable than i expected you broke the soul link curse
01:07:39in this world only you could do that no wonder you're zeus reborn
01:07:45he has also been cursed by morvan morvain let orrin go
01:07:53hand over the curse seed inside king orion try leaving here alive your curse seed is right here
01:08:02ethan what a waste you wasted something that precious just to break a curse
01:08:10you're beyond saving unforgivable ethan
01:08:15lord ethan please save orrin orrin hold on break free from more venus control princess lyra my mind is
01:08:24clearer than ever you never should have brought this man back he ruined everything i'm sorry
01:08:32i can't save him what even you can't save him if even you can't who can
01:08:41a curse can be broken a rotten heart cannot
01:08:45only he can save himself even a god couldn't do it for him what do you mean
01:08:53orrin was never cursed he was sent here to kill both of you
01:09:02orrin has served father for years he watched us grow up why would he want to kill us
01:09:08do you remember what i said before breaking the curse
01:09:12i remember you said curses are easy to break but the human heart cannot be healed
01:09:17lord ethan what is going on with orrin the problem begins with your father king orion is at the
01:09:23center of this if i'm right king iron sent him to kill you no that's impossible i must still be
01:09:31dreaming sister pinch me wake me up lord ethan this is not something you joke about ask orrin then you'll
01:09:39know
01:09:42the black flame mark behind his ear was put there by himself so i would notice it while he led
01:09:46the
01:09:46way at first i thought he had been cursed when he met princess lyra at the gate i thought morvan
01:09:51was
01:09:51using him to watch us but other than the soul link curse i found no sign of any other curse
01:09:55on princess
01:09:56lyra and morvan is confident enough now that if he wanted to kill us he wouldn't need such a complicated
01:10:01setup so the problem lies with your father princess alera your father did not tell us the truth lord
01:10:06ethan is more than a divine healer he can see the whole board princesses lyra your biggest mistake
01:10:11was bringing him back to cure the king his majesty was about to become a god and your love for
01:10:15your
01:10:15father ruined his plan what did you say this was all father's plan his coma was staged that can't be
01:10:23true we brought so many sacred healers to father and none of them could break his curse your father's
01:10:27curse was real those so-called sacred healers truly couldn't see what was wrong with him but your father
01:10:32and morvan have a deep connection when i woke your father i disrupted their plan since you're all about
01:10:37to die i might as well tell you the truth his majesty sought out morvain himself for immortality and
01:10:42swallowed the black marsh curse seed willingly the day the curse he breaks out of his body is the day
01:10:45his
01:10:46majesty leaves his mortal body behind and becomes immortal and ethan ruined it no no father would
01:10:53never do that nothing is impossible princess lyra you are too kind and far too easy to fool
01:11:00in your next life fix that weakness
01:11:05it's done
01:11:13morvain i handled ethan for you when do i get the black marsh curse seed you promised me
01:11:18you are as ruthless as ever for immortality you sacrificed your wife now you are willing to
01:11:23sacrifice your daughter wolves do not preach mercy great things require sacrifice i want to see how
01:11:29how much use the body of zeus reborn still has and what kind of cursed seed it can reform
01:11:58where is my curse seed
01:12:03Lord Morvan, that boy said he turned your soul link curse into medicine
01:12:06Damn boy, you even dared turn my curse seed into medicine
01:12:14Zeus's thunderlight
01:12:15So he really isn't an ordinary border healer
01:12:19Morvan, I delivered the man you wanted
01:12:21Now according to our deal, give me the real Black Marsh curse seed
01:12:25What deal?
01:12:26You're betraying me? I gave you Ethan and both of my daughters
01:12:29You promised me the real Black Marsh curse seed
01:12:32You promised to help me become immortal
01:12:36Orion, have you forgotten who put you on that throne?
01:12:39I took you from a fallen Roarline and made you king of the north
01:12:43And now you bring me a few corpses and think you can bargain?
01:12:48You promised me, once I gave you Ethan, you would help me become immortal
01:12:52Their lives are worthless, if I want them dead, they die
01:12:55You're the one who betrayed blood and oath
01:12:57You sacrificed your wife, then your daughters and now you still want immortality?
01:13:01You're too greedy
01:13:02I can give you all of Ash Royal Court
01:13:05Salt mines, hunting grounds, take whatever you want
01:13:09And what makes you think I care about any of that?
01:13:12Right now, he is worth more than you
01:13:15Zeus's reborn body and the remains of the curse seed he refined are far more useful than your old bones
01:13:23What do you want?
01:13:24Don't ask what I want
01:13:27Ask what you still have
01:13:33What if I offer every resource Ash Royal Court has?
01:13:36Ash Royal Court is now the strongest court in the north
01:13:39Wasn't I the one who put you on that throne?
01:13:41I can make you king and I can make someone else king
01:13:45You know exactly why I chose you back then
01:13:47Because my queen had a rare frost bloodline
01:13:50You wanted to use her as a sacrifice for your soul link, Kurt
01:13:54You wanted my queen's life and I gave it to you
01:13:57I gave you my daughters too
01:13:59What else do you want?
01:14:01Without your blood relatives, you're nothing to me
01:14:05You
01:14:08I forgot
01:14:10You still have one loyal dog
01:14:17If you want to touch the king, you go through me first
01:14:20You want to fight me?
01:14:22You don't even know how weak you are
01:14:26Say it! What do you want?
01:14:28Orion, so many royal families begged me back then
01:14:30Why did I choose a fallen prince like you?
01:14:33Because you wanted my queen's bloodline
01:14:35That was only part of it
01:14:36I chose you because you were ruthless
01:14:38You dared to give things up
01:14:39You dared to gamble
01:14:40Just like now
01:14:41All I have now is Ash Royal Court
01:14:44And every resource in the north
01:14:46If you want them
01:14:49Take them
01:14:50Think harder
01:14:51What else do you still have?
01:14:54I have nothing left now
01:14:58You want my life
01:14:59So you finally understand, yes
01:15:02I want your life
01:15:03Your majesty
01:15:06Run
01:15:12Such loyalty
01:15:14Such a worthless death
01:15:21Hello, Morvain
01:15:23Or should I call you
01:15:25Brother
01:15:30Nothing is impossible, Princess Lyra
01:15:33You're too kind and far too trusting
01:15:35In your next life, fix that weakness
01:15:40You think you can take my life?
01:15:42This can't be real
01:15:43I don't believe it
01:15:44Lyra, wake up
01:15:45This is real
01:15:46Since our father wants us dead
01:15:49We need to decide what we do next
01:15:51I just used true thunder
01:15:52Orin can only tell the truth now
01:15:54Ask him anything you want
01:15:57Orin
01:15:57Was everything you said just now true?
01:16:00Every word
01:16:01Did you know Princess Lyra was tortured by the Black Riven Clan and Morvain?
01:16:06His majesty deliberately sent Princess Lyra to the Black Riven Clan's East Tower Trading House
01:16:10To investigate an old contract
01:16:12Princesses
01:16:12We are already inside the trap
01:16:15Let's hear how many more secrets King Aran and Morvain are hiding
01:16:17We'll follow your lead, Lord Ethan
01:16:22Princesses, forgive me
01:16:48Brother
01:16:49Brother
01:16:50Brother, those little tricks of yours won't kill me
01:16:53Morvain, I've already sealed this room with a thunder barrier
01:16:55Don't waste your strength
01:16:56Your Black Marr curses won't work here
01:16:58Surrender
01:16:59No wonder you are Zeus reborn
01:17:00So the power of the old gods really did fall to you
01:17:03But crushing you would take no effort
01:17:05I'm not done playing yet, so I'll let you live today
01:17:07Goodbye
01:17:21King Aran, what happened today is a matter for Ashcord
01:17:24I won't interfere, but there are things you need to tell the truth about
01:17:28You all heard it
01:17:31We heard
01:17:32Father, you were willing to trade all our lives for your immortality and your throne
01:17:36Do you even deserve to be our father?
01:17:38King Aran, that curse cannot make you immortal
01:17:41It cannot make you a god
01:17:42It will only keep feeding on your soul and your family's souls until your house is destroyed
01:17:47If immortality were truly that easy, why would Morvain give it to a mortal with no divine power instead of
01:17:52keeping it for himself?
01:17:55So, I was never Morvain's chosen one
01:17:57I was his experiment
01:18:01When I had just taken over Ash Royal Court, I signed a major saltmine contract
01:18:05Halfway through, our allied clan suddenly withdrew
01:18:08It nearly destroyed us
01:18:09I had knights to feed
01:18:10My mother needed life-saving medicine
01:18:12Elyra and Lyra were still young
01:18:14Every corner of the court needed gold
01:18:16I went to them again and again, begging them not to pull out
01:18:19Every time, they refused
01:18:20Just like that, the saltmine contract collapsed, the royal court was on the edge
01:18:23My mother died on her sickbed
01:18:25After I left her sick room, I went to the altar of the old gods to ask for guidance
01:18:28When I came out, I met Morvain
01:18:31He asked if I wanted revenge
01:18:32I was blinded by hate
01:18:34I thought the old gods had answered me, so I made a deal with him
01:18:38With all our lives is the price for your greed?
01:18:41He promised that within 15 years, I would rule the North and become immortal
01:18:44I was young and arrogant
01:18:47I agreed before he even finished speaking
01:18:49And the price was your entire family's lives
01:18:51No!
01:18:52The price was a lifetime of being alone
01:18:54Then congratulations, you got exactly what you wanted
01:18:57From now on, you will be alone for the rest of your life
01:19:00Princess Elyra, not yet
01:19:01Let King Orion finish
01:19:03He gave me the price before I understood it
01:19:05When he said the cost was a lifetime alone, I felt nothing
01:19:09What's the difference?
01:19:10A lifetime of being alone doesn't only mean losing your family
01:19:14It means from that day on, there was no one beside me I could trust
01:19:19Then congratulations, you got exactly what you wanted
01:19:22From now on, you will be alone for the rest of your life
01:19:25Princess Elyra, not yet
01:19:26Let King Orion finish
01:19:28He gave me the price before I understood it
01:19:30When he said the cost was a lifetime alone, I felt nothing
01:19:34He gave me a jar of black marsh herbs
01:19:36He told me not to boil them or drink them, only to place them by the bed
01:19:40Because of where I placed them
01:19:41That very night, I had a terrible fight with the queen
01:19:44Looking back now, that was when the price began
01:19:48The queen saw that thing and couldn't sleep
01:19:51That night, she slept on the fur bench in the outer hall
01:19:54When I woke up, the herbs were still there
01:19:57But the curse seed inside them was gone
01:19:59If I'm right, that curse seed was never meant for you
01:20:02It was meant for your queen
01:20:03Because she carried the rare frost bloodline
01:20:05At first, there were no signs at all
01:20:07Then, after Lyra turned 18, the queen suddenly coughed blood in the royal court inner chamber and died
01:20:13When I prepared her body, I regretted making that deal
01:20:17I found him and told him the deal was off
01:20:19I said I wanted out
01:20:21You only saw what you gained
01:20:22You never understood what you lost
01:20:24What did I gain?
01:20:26What did I gain?
01:20:28The royal court
01:20:29A court that belonged to me
01:20:32The greatest royal court in the north
01:20:34And after that?
01:20:36Ash royal court grew stronger by the day
01:20:39It did not even take 15 years
01:20:41It became the strongest royal court in the north
01:20:44Princess Lyla's illness
01:20:45In a way, also came from you
01:20:48Yes
01:20:49It came from me
01:20:51But I had no way back
01:20:53All I could do was keep moving forward
01:20:55Give them the best of everything
01:20:58Material things
01:20:59To make up for what I owed them
01:21:02I would rather have lived poor
01:21:03Than watch our family fall apart
01:21:06Be torn to pieces
01:21:07Illness can be healed
01:21:09Desire is harder to remove
01:21:11That's because you've never been desperate
01:21:12Every person has desires
01:21:14I did what I had to do
01:21:16Then what about your mother
01:21:17Who built everything with you from nothing?
01:21:18Sometimes, for the future of a kingdom
01:21:20One person's sacrifice means nothing
01:21:23You're beyond saving
01:21:24You're not the father I knew
01:21:28At this point, I only want to step down
01:21:30And leave Ash court behind
01:21:32The Blackstone royal token
01:21:34Whoever holds it
01:21:36Speaks with the king's authority
01:21:38From this day on
01:21:40Ash royal court
01:21:42Is yours to command
01:21:49This filthy thing
01:21:51Let it rot
01:21:55Ten ash royal courts
01:21:58Could never buy back mother's life
01:22:00Elara, you are exactly like I was
01:22:02When I first took over the royal court
01:22:03Fearless
01:22:04But one day you'll understand
01:22:06Reality will crush you
01:22:07Until you can't breathe
01:22:08And this token
01:22:10Is the weapon that lets you survive it
01:22:11Lyra, come here
01:22:13Let your father hold you one last time
01:22:15If only your mother were here now
01:22:24Father, father, father
01:22:30Princesses, the dead cannot return
01:22:32King Orion had already taken poison
01:22:34We were here the whole time
01:22:35When did he take it?
01:22:37He knew he had too many enemies in the north
01:22:38If he ever fell into their hands
01:22:40It was his last shred of dignity
01:22:42Lord Ethan, you can save people
01:22:44Please, you have to save him
01:22:45There's still time
01:22:48Father, please
01:22:49He knew he had too many enemies in the north
01:22:51If he ever fell into their hands
01:22:54He hid it in his tooth
01:22:55It was his final foul back
01:22:57Princess Lyra
01:22:58King Orion's belief in immortality has shattered
01:23:00He caused the queen's death
01:23:01And nearly killed both of you
01:23:03Even if I brought him back
01:23:04I'm afraid
01:23:04This is not the time to cry
01:23:06Handle father's funeral
01:23:07And the court's affairs
01:23:09Lord Ethan and I will settle the score with Morvan
01:23:11Princess Ellara
01:23:12You truly are King Orion's daughter
01:23:14Calm under pressure
01:23:15Born to rule
01:23:16Princess Ellara
01:23:17Not yet
01:23:20Morvan's Black Marsh curses are strange
01:23:22If we go now without preparation
01:23:24We're just walking to our deaths
01:23:26I have something for you
01:23:27What is this?
01:23:29Toad Blyle Powder
01:23:30Once applied, it's colorless and odorless
01:23:32But deadly to Black Marsh curse bugs
01:23:33Think of it as armor for your body
01:23:40I thought it over
01:23:41Better to end a threat before it spreads
01:23:44If I leave you alone
01:23:45Sooner or later you'll ruin everything
01:23:48So, Ethan
01:23:50Die
01:23:52Perfect
01:23:53Saves me the trouble of finding you
01:23:55Give me back my mother's life
01:23:57Give me back my curse seed
01:24:01Bloodline
01:24:02Soul
01:24:05Immortality
01:24:05Come to me
01:24:17What's happening?
01:24:19How can he still cast curses?
01:24:20Didn't he set up a thunder barrier here?
01:24:22To me, it makes no difference
01:24:24You think this boy is powerful enough to break down my curse?
01:24:29Ridiculous
01:24:30If you want it so badly, I'll give it back
01:24:32By my thunder light
01:24:34Open the path back
01:24:38My curse bugs
01:24:39Why are they gone?
01:24:40How do you know the Black Marsh curse tongue?
01:24:42I am Zeus Reborn
01:24:43No dark art stays hidden from me
01:24:45I've seen through your curse work, Morvain
01:24:47You miscalculated
01:24:49Then I'll take the souls you protect and repair my broken one
01:24:54These are motion hunting curse bugs
01:24:57They attack anything alive that moves
01:25:00Once they stick to you for 30 seconds, you'll be nothing but bones
01:25:04They leave the flesh untouched
01:25:05They only eat the bones
01:25:07After you die, I'll make cloaks from your skin
01:25:15Ethan, do you know why you became Zeus Reborn?
01:25:21Morvain, you use curse bugs to devour other people's lives and repair your own broken soul
01:25:26So what? The strong survive by devouring the weak
01:25:30You're right
01:25:31So today, it's your turn to be devoured
01:25:40Don't you dare!
01:25:42Black Marsh, open!
01:25:43Curse Blood, awaken!
01:25:44Take his soul and make his power mine!
01:25:48Thunder, shatter the darkness!
01:25:52My curse bugs, how did they disappear?
01:25:56Sister!
01:25:57Let's see if you're willing to kill her just to destroy me
01:26:00Ethan, what are you waiting for? Do it!
01:26:03If my life can take this monster down, it's worth it
01:26:06Brother, join me
01:26:08You command divine healing
01:26:10I command Black Marsh curses
01:26:12Together, this whole world could be ours
01:26:14Everyone chooses their own path
01:26:16I won't steal another life to change mine
01:26:19In all my life, you're the only one who has ever dared refuse me, Ethan
01:26:23Then die with her!
01:26:26Impossible! How do you know the strongest Black Marsh curse?
01:26:30You're wrong
01:26:31To you, this is the strongest Black Marsh cursed
01:26:33To me, it's nothing
01:26:36Spend the rest of your life inside my inner prison
01:26:39No! No! No!
01:26:50You're awake
01:26:51Are you alright?
01:26:52Are you hurt?
01:26:53Where is Morvayne?
01:26:55I'm fine
01:26:55I trapped him inside my inner prison
01:26:59He will spend the rest of his life there
01:27:01Sister!
