Short filmTranscript
00:04The gold dragon I had raised with my own hands bit through my fingertip the moment it broke out of
00:09its shell.
00:10A heartbeat later, it turned away from me and flew straight to my sister Izalith, and curled tamely into her
00:16arms.
00:17She held the dragon that should have been mine, and sobbed in front of the entire kingdom.
00:24Seraphina, how could you steal my dragon egg?
00:27I did not steal it.
00:30I was the one who brought it to life from the egg.
00:33Murmurs swept through the noble stands like a storm.
00:36King Alaric slammed his seppler against the stone floor, and guards swarmed forward to pin my arms behind my hack.
00:44Izalith glided toward me through the chaos, but when she leaned close to my ear, her voice was cold and
00:50sharp, stripped of all pretense.
00:52Did you really think the dragon chose you?
00:55Newborn hatchlings are blind. They know their master only by the scent of blood on the egg.
01:00For three whole months, I snuck into your incubation chamber every midnight and dapped the shell with my own blood.
01:08Day and night you sat by it, but it never smelled you. All it knew was my scent.
01:14She paused, her fingertips brushing the bite wound on my finger, and I flinched as a sting of burning pain
01:21shot through my hand.
01:22I brushed dragon-repellant sap on your fingertips before the ceremony.
01:26That's why it bit you the moment it touched you.
01:30To it, you reek of something loathsome.
01:35Why would you do this to me?
01:40Izalith laughed softly.
01:42Why?
01:44Because you were born first and the crown was handed to you without effort?
01:48A golden dragon is the omen of a rightful ruler.
01:52With it, I will take your throne, your title, everything that should have been mine.
01:58Just like that, I became a thief.
02:01My father stripped me of my claims into the throne and threw me into the dragon pit.
02:07The iron gate crashed shut behind me with a deafening boom.
02:11Starving lesser drakes tore at the hem of my gown.
02:14Hot, rancid breath rolled over my face and sharp claws scraped against my arms.
02:23Before I closed my eyes, my sister was holding the golden dragon and wearing my crown, basking in smug triumph.
02:31When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day my father gave us our dragon eggs.
02:36This time, I'd not kneel and beg anyone to believe me.
02:40If Izalith wanted to steal my dragon so badly, I'd give her the most dangerous one of all.
02:47King Alaric's voice rang out above me.
02:49Serafina, what are you waiting for?
02:52My head shot up.
02:53I was standing in the golden hall.
02:55Candlelight flickered over the marble marble floors.
02:58Nobles lined both sides of the chamber.
03:00Every pair of eyes fixed on me.
03:02Before the daisk stood two silver trays, each holding a dragon egg.
03:07One was pale, threaded with delicate gold veins.
03:10The other was dull and dark, without shine at all.
03:14I had seen this scene before.
03:16No, I had lived it before.
03:19Back then, I was the crown princess of Valderria, the only daughter of the late queen.
03:24The kingdom called me, calm, disciplined, worthy of the throne.
03:29I had believed that, if I worked hard enough if I became perfect enough, my father would finally see me.
03:35Later, I learned the truth.
03:37Some fathers don't need a reason to favor one child over another.
03:41The child he loved was Isolet, the daughter born to his second queen.
03:45It did not matter how many royal laws I memorized, how many court rituals I mastered, or how many noble
03:51sons I defeated's training.
03:52To him, I'd always be the elder daughter he did not want to acknowledge.
03:57Alarak glanced at me.
03:59There was no warmth in his face.
04:02Valderria was once protected by dragons.
04:07After the Great War, almost every adult dragon died.
04:12Only a few eggs remain, sealed in the royal vaults.
04:16By our oldest law, the one who hatches a dragon will earn the right to inherit the throne.
04:24What he did not say was this.
04:27Valdoria's nobles would never accept an heir without dragon.
04:30No matter how much he loved Isolet, he still needed her to receive a dragon in public.
04:35Only then would everyone keep quiet when she took the throne.
04:38I stared at the golden-veined egg.
04:40In my last life, I had reached for it first.
04:44My chest swelling with pride.
04:45I had thought it was a reward for my diligence.
04:48I had never guessed it was a trap laid from the very start.
04:52He lifted his hand.
04:53And a servant carried one of the eggs toward me.
04:56You and we'll each receive one.
04:58In one month, every noble and citizen will gather in the palace square to witness the hatching.
05:05When that day comes, the true heir will show herself.
05:17I reached out and took the egg.
05:20The shell was cold.
05:22Exactly as I remembered.
05:26A ripple of whispers moved through the hall.
05:31Isolde stood beside our father in a white gown, her golden hair falling over her shoulders.
05:36She looked soft.
05:39Innocent.
05:40Like a cherished little princess who had never done anything cruel in her life.
05:44But when she looked at me.
05:47A familiar flash of triumph crossed her eyes.
05:51It was the exact same look she had worn as she watched me fall into the dragon pit.
05:57Isolde came to my side.
05:59Her voice was soft enough that only the two of us could hear.
06:07You will definitely lose to me.
06:11In my last life, I had flushed with anger at this line.
06:16Arguing loudly that I would hatch the stronger dragon.
06:23The nobles had whispered that I was petty and unworthy of the crown.
06:29But this time, I only tightened my grip on the egg.
06:34We'll see about that.
06:36For a second, she froze.
06:38She had not expected me to be so calm.
06:41I held the dragon egg close.
06:43But inside, I went cold all the way through.
06:50In this life, I'd never again give my life just to earn my father's approval.
07:00After I returned to my old tower, I dismissed every maid.
07:06I placed the dragon egg on the table and stared at it.
07:13In my last life, this was the egg that hatched into the gold dragon.
07:18Before it broke open, it had answered my voice from within the shell.
07:29I drew a small knife and pressed the tip to my finger.
07:36If my blood touched the contract,
07:38the hatching would begin.
07:43My hand hovered there for a long time.
07:48Images of Isolda's smug face.
07:50The dragon pit's darkness.
07:52The drake's sharp teeth flashed before my eyes.
07:57In the end, I lowered the knife,
08:00pushed the egg into an iron box and locked it.
08:04By the time I reached the palace,
08:06the hall outside the throne room was already packed with nobles.
08:10Everyone was whispering excitedly about Isolda.
08:13Who would have thought?
08:14Everyone assumed Princess Seraphina had the stronger gift.
08:17But Princess Islaid is the one truly chosen by the dragons.
08:20A gold dragon.
08:22That is the symbol of royal power.
08:25The succession is practically settled.
08:27Princess Seraphina has been hiding in that old tower, hasn't she?
08:31I heard her egg hasn't stirred at all.
08:33What a shame for the late queen.
08:35I walked through the crowd and entered the hall.
08:38Isolda stood before the throne with a gold dragon egg in her arms.
08:41Golden light wrapped around her like a halo,
08:44making her look like a saint anointed by the dragons.
08:47One glance was enough to turn my blood cold.
08:49It wasn't the egg hidden in my tower.
08:52But the gold markings,
08:53the cracks forming in the shell,
08:55even the heartbeat coming from inside it,
08:57everything matched the egg I had awakened with my own hands.
08:59A chill crept slowly up my spine.
09:02My egg was still in the hidden chamber beneath my tower.
09:05Martha had been guarding it without leaving her post.
09:08The windows were sealed.
09:09My own people watched the door.
09:11Not even a bird could get in.
09:13So maybe the problem was never that someone stole the physical egg.
09:16Perhaps something had been redirecting the results of my hatching to Isolda all along.
09:21Isolda saw me and her eyes lit up.
09:24She adjusted her hold on the egg,
09:26holding it higher as if displaying a trophy.
09:30Sister, you came.
09:33She carried the gold egg toward me, smiling sweetly.
09:36Sis, I didn't think you'd show up.
09:40It must hurt,
09:41watching your little sister hatch a gold dragon first.
09:45No matter how hard you try,
09:47the dragon always ends up mine.
09:51I did not smash the egg.
09:53I did not hurt the young life sleeping inside.
09:57The egg was not the one at fault.
10:00The people using it to trap me were.
10:02At the northern edge of the palace grounds stood an old dragon roost that had been sealed for years.
10:07My mother had told me of it when I was small,
10:10her voice soft as she spoke of the gold egg she had hidden there.
10:14A gift left for me when I came of age.
10:17Under the cover of night,
10:19I slipped past the sleeping guards and pushed open the rusted iron gate.
10:25Ash swirled up around my boots,
10:27thick with the scent of burnt scales and old magic.
10:31At the very back of the roost,
10:33half buried in cold ash,
10:34I saw it.
10:36It was small,
10:37but the moment I drew close,
10:39it trembled.
10:40From that night on,
10:41I began hatching a dragon again.
10:44I snuck to the roost every midnight,
10:47sitting for hours with the egg pressed to my chest,
10:50whispering old dragon lullabies my mother had taught me.
10:54Day by day,
10:55the shell grew brighter,
10:56the gold veins glowing like molten sunlight.
10:59On the 20th night,
11:00I pressed my ear against it and heard a faint heartbeat from within.
11:05It was alive.
11:06It was mine.
11:08Then,
11:09at dawn on the 21st day,
11:11the palace bells began to ring.
11:16Martha hurried into my chamber,
11:18her face pale.
11:25Your Highness,
11:27news has come from the palace.
11:29Princess Islote's dragon egg has turned gold.
11:34The king has announced that she may hatch a gold dragon.
11:40The cup slipped from my hand
11:42and shattered on the floor.
11:45Impossible.
11:47The gold dragon egg was right here with me.
11:51How could Isolda's egg turn gold
11:53at the exact same moment my dragon awakened?
11:58Was this fate?
11:59Had I struggled so hard to change everything,
12:02only to walk right back into the same ending?
12:06I stared at the egg in her arms,
12:08my fingers going cold.
12:09My father sat on the throne,
12:11his satisfaction plain on his face.
12:15Serafina,
12:19bring out your egg too.
12:21I looked up at him.
12:23He had spoken to me the same way in my last life.
12:25He had never given me a chance to explain.
12:28If Isolda shed a single tear,
12:30he could condemn me without hesitation.
12:32My egg has not hatched yet.
12:35Whispers burst through the hall.
12:37Isolda covered her mouth in exaggerated surprise,
12:40her eyes wide with false pity.
12:43How could that be?
12:45Sister,
12:46haven't you always worked the hardest?
12:48Are you saying you can't hatch a dragon at all?
12:51She shook her head softly,
12:53as if grieving for me.
12:54Father,
12:55don't be angry with sister.
12:56I'm sure she tried her best.
12:58It's just,
12:59maybe the dragons don't favor her.
13:01My father's face darkened.
13:04Useless.
13:05He seized the goblet beside him
13:07and hurled it at my feet.
13:08It shattered against the floor,
13:10shards scraping my hem,
13:11wine splashing over the tips of my shoes.
13:15Valdoria needs someone who can wake a dragon,
13:18not a failure who only knows how to look proud.
13:22I said nothing.
13:23Not because I was afraid.
13:24Because I had finally realized
13:26this was deeper than I had thought.
13:28The egg had not been stolen.
13:30Isolda had not been lucky.
13:32Something had been delivering my results to her
13:34from the very beginning.
13:36From this day forward,
13:38Serafina will remain in the old tower.
13:39She will not leave unless summoned.
13:42She will stay there
13:43until she hatches a dragon of her own.
13:47The nobles' eyes changed when they looked at me.
13:50In my first life,
13:51they called me a thief.
13:53In this life,
13:54they called me a failure.
13:56There was not much difference.
13:58When I left the hall,
14:00Isolda followed me.
14:02She waved a hand to dismiss her maids,
14:04and the soft,
14:06innocent mask fell from her face
14:07the moment they were out of sight.
14:10Sister,
14:11the look on your face just now was beautiful.
14:14I stopped walking.
14:16You can't understand it, can you?
14:20You hid your eggs so carefully.
14:23So,
14:25why do I have a gold egg too?
14:28The truth is,
14:29I don't even need to know what you did.
14:32The result will always be the same.
14:35She lifted a hand and patted my shoulder
14:37as if comforting a loser.
14:39You guard it.
14:41You feed it.
14:43You love it.
14:46But when it breaks out of its shell,
14:49it will still choose me.
14:51I grabbed her wrist.
14:53Pain flashed across her face,
14:56but she did not pull away.
14:57Instead,
14:58her smile widened.
15:00Angry?
15:02Then I must be right.
15:04She leaned in,
15:05her lips almost brushing my ear.
15:08Just like in your little incubation chamber.
15:11You thought you were raising a dragon
15:13for
15:13yourself?
15:16You were raising it for me all along.
15:20I released her,
15:21Isolid.
15:23You had better pray you can keep winning.
15:27She smoothed her sleeve,
15:29her eyes full of contempt.
15:31I will.
15:33Father loves me.
15:34The kingdom expects me.
15:36Even the dragons choose me.
15:38What do you have?
15:40Sister?
15:41I watched her walk away
15:43and my mind became clearer
15:45than it had been all day.
15:47She was wrong.
15:48There was one thing I had
15:50that she did not.
15:51And I knew there was
15:52a second dragon growing
15:54in the old roost.
15:55One she would never see coming.
15:58On the third day of my confinement,
16:00I began searching
16:01through my mother's belongings.
16:03At the top of the old tower
16:04was a small study.
16:06It had been locked for years.
16:07My father never came there.
16:09Isolde thought it too cold
16:10and dreary to set foot in.
16:12After my mother died,
16:14her books,
16:14letters,
16:15and some old royal records
16:16had been piled inside
16:17like dust the whole palace
16:18wanted to forget.
16:19I sat on the floor
16:21and went through them
16:21one by one.
16:22Most of the books
16:23about dragon eggs
16:24had yellowed with age.
16:25They did not record
16:26mysterious legends.
16:28They recorded rules.
16:30Dragon eggs need warmth.
16:31Dragon eggs need quiet.
16:33Dragon eggs remember the contract.
16:36My hand froze.
16:37The contract?
16:39I read on quickly.
16:41Before a royal dragon egg
16:42could be hatched,
16:43the hatcher had to sign
16:45a magical contract.
16:46The contract bore the hatcher's name.
16:48When the dragon broke from its shell,
16:50it would recognize the name
16:51on the contract as its master.
16:53Worse,
16:54the contract did more than
16:55decide ownership.
16:56The blood,
16:57warmth,
16:58voice,
16:58and awakening power
16:59given by the hatcher
17:00would all be credited
17:01to the name that truly took effect.
17:03Then I saw a tiny note
17:04my mother had written
17:05in the margin.
17:07Queen's note.
17:08Beware the double ink.
17:09My heart clenched.
17:11Double ink was something
17:12royal mages used
17:13to hide secret orders.
17:15A line of writing
17:16appeared on the surface
17:17but beneath it.
17:18Another line
17:19the one that actually
17:19took effect
17:20could be concealed.
17:21Ordinary eyes
17:22could not see it.
17:23Only a revealing solution
17:25could expose it.
17:26At last I understood
17:27where the problem might be.
17:29That night
17:30I changed into
17:31a maid's dress
17:32slipped past the guards
17:33and broke into
17:33the royal archive.
17:35In my last life
17:36when I was desperate
17:37to prove my innocence,
17:38I had knelt there
17:39and begged them
17:39to let me see the contracts.
17:41They did not open the door.
17:42They only shoved me
17:44down the steps
17:44and called me
17:45a lying thief.
17:46This time
17:47I did not beg.
17:48I used the sleeping powder
17:50Martha had given me
17:51to put the guards to sleep.
17:52Then took the keys
17:53from his belt.
17:55Who's there?
17:56The guard's voice faded
17:57before he could finish.
17:58He slid down
17:59against the wall asleep.
18:00The archive was cold.
18:02Rows of wooden cabinets
18:03stretched into the darkness.
18:05I found the contracts
18:06from the day
18:06of the egg ceremony
18:07by date.
18:08My fingers shaking
18:09so badly
18:10I could barely
18:10hold the papers.
18:11The first contract
18:12was Isolda's.
18:14On the surface
18:15it said Isolda.
18:16The second contract
18:17was mine.
18:18On the surface
18:19it said Serafina.
18:20I took out
18:21the revealing solution
18:22my mother had left behind
18:23and let a drop
18:24fall onto the page.
18:25At first
18:26nothing happened.
18:27Then the ink
18:28began to blur.
18:29The name Serafina
18:30faded.
18:31Beneath it
18:32another name
18:33rose to the surface.
18:34Isolda.
18:35I stared at that name
18:37ice flooding my veins.
18:38So that was it.
18:40My dragon
18:41had not betrayed me.
18:42Isolda had not
18:43truly beaten me
18:44with her own power.
18:45From the moment
18:46I signed my name
18:47on that paper
18:47my father had already
18:49replaced it with hers.
18:51Every drop of blood
18:52every hour of warmth
18:53every whisper
18:54I had breathed
18:54into that egg
18:55none of it
18:55had ever been mine.
18:56It had all
18:57belonged to her.
18:59The next morning
19:00I walked straight
19:01into the throne room.
19:02King Alaric
19:03with Islica
19:04examining her
19:05gold dragon egg.
19:08The shell
19:09was already
19:09crisscrossed
19:10with cracks
19:11and faint
19:12thin cries
19:13of a young dragon
19:14drifted from within.
19:18Isolette looked up
19:19at the sound
19:20of my footsteps.
19:21A sweet
19:22triumphant smile
19:23spreading across her face.
19:25Sister
19:26have you finally
19:27come to your senses?
19:29Are you here
19:30to apologize
19:30to father
19:31and beg
19:32to keep your place
19:33at my side?
19:34I did not look at her.
19:35I bowed
19:37to the man
19:37on the throne.
19:39Father
19:41I can't
19:42hatch a dragon.
19:44The hole
19:45went silent.
19:48What did you say?
19:50I said
19:51I am willing
19:52to withdraw
19:53from the succession
19:54trial.
19:55I am no match
19:57for Isolette.
19:58Since she has
19:59already hatched
20:00a gold dragon
20:01the throne
20:02should naturally
20:02belong for her.
20:06The smile
20:07frozen on Isolette's
20:08face.
20:10Her fingers
20:11tightened around
20:11the egg so hard
20:12her knuckles
20:13whited
20:13and a small
20:15piece of shell
20:15flaked off
20:16onto her skirt.
20:20My father
20:21did not
20:21look pleased
20:22either.
20:24Nonsense!
20:26I looked
20:27at him
20:27calmly.
20:29Of course
20:29he could not
20:30let me quit.
20:32Isolette
20:32had not
20:33truly hatched
20:34anything.
20:34The gold
20:35dragon egg
20:36in her arms
20:36depending on
20:37my contract
20:38upon my blood.
20:40If I stopped
20:41hatching dragons
20:41she would have
20:43nothing left
20:44to steal.
20:44Alarith
20:45softened
20:46his voice
20:47trying on
20:47the mask
20:48of a gentle
20:48father.
20:49Seraphine
20:50you have
20:50always been
20:51a proud
20:52child.
20:53One failure
20:54means nothing.
20:56The kingdom
20:56needs you
20:57to keep
20:58trying.
20:59I almost
21:00laughed.
21:02In my
21:02first life
21:03when he
21:04stood over me
21:05in the dragon
21:05pit and
21:06condemned
21:06me to die
21:08he had
21:09never once
21:09said the
21:10kingdom
21:10needed me
21:11the kinder
21:12he pretended
21:13to be
21:13the clearer
21:15the truth
21:15became.
21:18Isolette's
21:19golden dragon
21:20was nothing
21:20but a shadow
21:21of mine
21:22and without
21:23me it would
21:24die before
21:25it ever
21:25saw the sun.
21:28The answer
21:29was already
21:30in my hands
21:30as long
21:31as that
21:32hidden name
21:32remained
21:33every drop
21:34of blood
21:34I gave
21:35would become
21:35Isolette's
21:36claim.
21:37A small
21:38sound came
21:39from behind
21:39me.
21:40A soft
21:41rustle came
21:42from the
21:42archway
21:43behind
21:43me.
21:44I whirled
21:45dagger
21:46drawn and
21:46pressed to
21:47the intruder's
21:47throat before
21:48I saw her
21:49face.
21:50Martha stood
21:51in the doorway
21:51pale as a
21:52ghost.
21:54Your
21:54highness
21:55it's me
21:56I saw
21:57you leave
21:58the tower
21:58and followed
21:59I was afraid
22:00you'd be
22:01caught.
22:02Slowly
22:02I lowered
22:03the blade
22:04she stepped
22:05inside
22:06and when
22:07her eyes
22:07fell on the
22:08glowing contract
22:08in my hand
22:09her lips
22:10trembled
22:11and tears
22:12spilled
22:12over at
22:12once.
22:14The queen
22:14suspected
22:15something like
22:16this would
22:16happen.
22:18The year
22:19the eggs
22:19were moved
22:20to the
22:20vault
22:21she said
22:22the contracts
22:23felt wrong
22:25but she
22:26was already
22:26too ill
22:27she died
22:29before she
22:29could prove
22:30it.
22:30I closed
22:31my eyes
22:32the weight
22:33of my mother's
22:33unfinished
22:34protection
22:35settled over
22:35me
22:36warm and
22:37sharp all
22:37at once.
22:38My mother
22:39had not
22:39failed to
22:40protect me
22:40she had
22:42simply
22:42ran out
22:43of time.
22:45Your
22:45highness
22:46what do
22:47we do
22:47now?
22:48We have
22:49proof

22:55we can
22:55clear your
22:56name
22:56and take
22:57everything
22:57back.
22:59I looked
22:59at the
22:59name on
23:00the page
23:00and suddenly
23:01laughed.
23:05No
23:06Martha
23:06stared at

23:08they

23:12and
23:13they
23:13still
23:13chose
23:14Isolette's
23:14tears.
23:15The
23:15nobles
23:16did not
23:16care about
23:17the truth
23:17neither
23:18did the
