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 any time 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. What is the Wendigo?
00:01:05The Wendigo devours souls and 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. I 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.
00:01:32Princess Alara, please show mercy. King 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.
00:01:42Orin, 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.
00:01:55The 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. If my father wakes, I will stake the entire royal court on it.
00:02:10The black marsh spirit is dead, but the curse remains. Someone here brought the Wendau 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.
00:02:25Hold on. Stranger, who are you?
00:02:29Ethan, a forest healer.
00:02:31The 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 Wendau curse will eat through his life force.
00:02:51How do you know that?
00:02:53Because this is not an illness. It is the Wendau's curse.
00:02:58One step too late, and the man you're trying to save won't be a king. He'll be a corpse.
00:03:07You're saying my father is cursed?
00:03:09The black marsh Wendigo feeds on souls. The king has no wound on his body, but his soul is being
00:03:16eaten 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. If you're just trying to survive, go now, and
00:03:34I'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. Around 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. You're young, so you can still endure it.
00:03:53King Oron won't last past your moonrise.
00:03:55Can you really save him?
00:03:57Yes.
00:03:59Fine. I'll take you in. If you remember this, you lie to me, my sister will make sure you die
00:04:03inside the royal court.
00:04:06Lead the way.
00:04:11Father, when you led the northern clans into the Black Marsh, everyone lowered their heads at the sound of Ash's
00:04:18war horn.
00:04:19Now every enemy is watching the royal court. If you don't wake up, I'll have no choice but to offer
00:04:23myself through the royal blood oath decree.
00:04:26I'm not afraid of marrying a stranger. I'm afraid you'll never wake up.
00:04:37I'm afraid of marrying a snake. I'm afraid of having a new one.
00:04:38Princess Alara?
00:04:40We can cure King Orion.
00:04:45Princess Alara, don't lose hope. I can save King Orion.
00:04:51I am Selona, High Healer of Bonecraft. At 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, the northern hunting grounds, the salt mines,
00:05:14and 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.
00:05:27I've heard Meera never needs more than three runes.
00:05:30Let'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. I've never seen a condition like this.
00:05:53Meera, I gave you the first chance, and you wasted it.
00:05:58Step 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.
00:06:44If King Orion has even one breath left, I can pull him back.
00:06:53Stop it.
00:06:54Stop it.
00:06:56Stop it.
00:06:56Stop it.
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 fate?
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.
00:07:32I 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.
00:07:39Bringing in an outsider is not seeking help.
00:07:41It 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, then we have no reason to accept this royal
00:08:05blood 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, take him out of the royal court.
00:08:24Sister!
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,
00:08:30King Orion will not survive tonight's moonrise.
00:08:35When that happens,
00:08:36not 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,
00:08:56and you claim he isn't sick?
00:08:58Lying in front of a king takes nerve.
00:09:00You'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,
00:09:12I 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.
00:09:21With the three of us here today, we'll expose him for what he is,
00:09:24and show the royal court that healing 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.
00:09:35The Wendo curse? What is that?
00:09:37An 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.
00:09:51Then the soul is eaten away piece by piece.
00:09:53Once the soul is gone, he may never truly wake again.
00:09:56The Wendaw 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.
00:10:12The royal decreed and the honor of the Ash Court cannot be dragged down by some wandering fraud.
00:10:18But father's symptoms match everything he said.
00:10:24Ethan, please save my father!
00:10:26Don't touch him yet.
00:10:27According to the old altar scrolls,
00:10:29the Wendig 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.
00:10:38It 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 cursed 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.
00:11:12But in ten years, no one has ever named my father's symptoms this clearly.
00:11:18Ethan, I'll give you one chance.
00:11:21For Princess Lyra's trust, I will save King Orion.
00:11:27This 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.
00:11:52To draw the Wendigo out, I need someone from his bloodline.
00:11:54When royal blood is near, the curse will leave King Orion.
00:11:56If 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!
00:12:08I'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.
00:12:23As long as father wakes, I'll accept any punishment, even if I'm dragged through the streets in chains.
00:12:28You're not going.
00:12:29Sister!
00:12:29Sister, I am your older sister and I am the one holding this court together.
00:12:34It should be me.
00:12:35Oren, 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.
00:12:48I only save lives.
00:12:49Take the king to the royal bedroom.
00:12:51We begin before moonrise.
00:12:53Until the ritual is over, no one enters.
00:12:57If that door opens, the curse will be startled.
00:13:00King Orion will die.
00:13:03What 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.
00:13:24The 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.
00:13:56Move 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 should 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.
00:14:27Don't let it reach your eyes.
00:14:29Leave her!
00:14:32Ethan, hurry.
00:14:35Come out!
00:14:45Princess Lyra.
00:14:47Princess Alara is locked inside the royal bedroom with an outsider.
00:14:51Are 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.
00:15:05Aren'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?
00:15:18That 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.
00:15:36I trust my sister.
00:15:37No one can force her into anything.
00:15:41Sister?
00:15:42You heard that.
00:15:43That does not sound like healing.
00:15:46The 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.
00:16:00Princess 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.
00:16:15Princess Lyra.
00:16:16Open the door.
00:16:17But Princess Alara said...
00:16:19I am in command of the Ash court now.
00:16:23Open it.
00:16:27Stand back!
00:16:29Stand back!
00:16:42Sister!
00:16:43Careful!
00:16:45Come out!
00:16:48All right.
00:16:49Look at me.
00:16:50Don't look at it.
00:16:52Don't look at it.
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 Wendigo.
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 from 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, the Wendrig will rip this entire court apart and destroy all of us.
00:17:59This matter is finished.
00:18:01Finished?
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.
00:18:19If I want to leave, no one here can stop me.
00:18:23Stop.
00:18:25Stop.
00:18:27Father!
00:18:28Father is awake!
00:18:31Who is this?
00:18:32You 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, and 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.
00:19:07You are too kind, Your Majesty.
00:19:09I don't save people because of rank.
00:19:11I 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.
00:19:23But I am already bound by an ancient marriage pact with Lady Seraphina of the Silverstag 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, the 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 Wendo 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 Wendogoo 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.
00:21:29The 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.
00:21:39I'll go help him.
00:21:48The 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.
00:22:25Then why is she entering a marriage alliance with the Black Raven Clan tonight?
00:22:29The 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.
00:23:06And 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.
00:23:26I 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.
00:23:44Ethan, since you came, I'll make this clear.
00:23:47Your old marriage pact with Seraphina is void.
00:23:49I, Aldric, declare it.
00:23:51Do you know the old Silver Stag chief begged for this pact before the ancestral altar?
00:23:55Remember, the 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 going to 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 pack?
00:24:13Look at yourself.
00:24:15Mud, blood, and poverty all over you.
00:24:20So the stray dog found a bigger kennel.
00:24:23No wonder it barks so loudly.
00:24:27Ethan, I'm warning you, don't push this too far.
00:24:32You are just holding an old pact someone handed you,
00:24:35trying to force your way into the Silver Stag Clan.
00:24:38The 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.
00:24:59This pact carries a blood oath sworn before the ancestors and the old gods.
00:25:03Break 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.
00:25:19Does Lady Seraphina think the same?
00:25:31Yes.
00:25:37Ethan, 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.
00:25:53Now 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.
00:26:07The man who swore it is dead.
00:26:09Now my father rules the Silver Stag Clan, and I have already agreed to marry Cassian, heir of the Black
00:26:13Raven Clan.
00:26:14He can bring the Silver Stag Clan back into northern power.
00:26:17You are nothing.
00:26:18You cannot give the Silver Thor Clan a future.
00:26:20I will be the Lady of Black Raven Hulk, and you are just a wandering healer from the Black Marsh
00:26:24border.
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?
00:26:33You have no right to lecture the Silver Stag Clan.
00:26:36I would rather marry a dog from the stables than marry a man like you.
00:26:41You're 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!
00:27:12Drag him out!
00:27:15Your disaster is already here, and you are still laughing.
00:27:20Ethan, enough!
00:27:22He brought this on himself.
00:27:34Someone is causing trouble inside Black Raven Keep?
00:27:40Let'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,
00:27:59think 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.
00:28:12Do you have a death wish?
00:28:13Be smart, cancel the contract, and get out of Black Raven Heap.
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,
00:28:32and 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.
00:28:43Legend says that power came from Zeus, king of Olympus.
00:28:46They say he hides in the ruins of Olympus.
00:28:49He 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.
00:29:03Sadly,
00:29:05that 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?
00:29:23In this contract?
00:29:24Anyone who falsely invokes the Divine Thunder Healer
00:29:27and offends the old gods of Olympus will suffer divine backlash.
00:29:30Even a royal bloodline can wither.
00:29:32Their banner will fall.
00:29:34If you steal Thunder's name,
00:29:36True 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?
00:29:49Ethan,
00:29:51if you don't leave now,
00:29:52I really won't be able to protect you.
00:29:55Serafina,
00:29:55the former Silver Stag chief,
00:29:57begged for this pack at the old god's 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,
00:30:06I,
00:30:07Serafina,
00:30:08turn 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.
00:30:24We're destroying this worthless pact today.
00:30:27What are you going to do about it?
00:30:31The pact is broken.
00:30:34Zeus's punishment begins now.
00:30:39You really believe your own act, don't you?
00:30:43You think you're Zeus,
00:30:45Riorne?
00:30:47Zeus's 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,
00:30:55it'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 pull down divine punishment?
00:31:05Ethan,
00:31:06open your eyes and watch closely.
00:31:08From this day on,
00:31:09I stand under the Black Raven banner.
00:31:11No one in the north can touch me.
00:31:13Even if Zeus's punishment exists,
00:31:14what can it do to the Silver Stag clan?
00:31:16Zeus's 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 empty.
00:31:30The salt mines,
00:31:31mountain roads,
00:31:32and 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.
00:31:49Ethan,
00:31:49this is all about money,
00:31:51isn'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.
00:32:00Take the money and leave.
00:32:01Don't delay my wedding with Lady Serafina.
00:32:06Stop it.
00:32:07You've seen one corner of the world
00:32:09and think you own the sky.
00:32:11The Black Raven clan rules the north.
00:32:14If I want you dead,
00:32:15no one here will dare keep you alive.
00:32:17You'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 bat in public
00:32:54and tried to drive Ethan out of the keep.
00:32:56They 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,
00:33:05you still act tough.
00:33:07Today, I'll teach you how the north works.
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.
00:33:29They'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, the 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!
00:33:57Mr. Healer Phelan has arrived.
00:34:09Ethan.
00:34:10Phelan 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.
00:34:17With him here,
00:34:17your cheap tricks mean nothing.
00:34:20Master Healer Phelan is here.
00:34:22We're saved!
00:34:29I came with a gift.
00:34:30To celebrate the wedding of Cassian,
00:34:32heir 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 Cassian's bride and her family at his own wedding feast.
00:34:44Bold!
00:34:44I'll warn you once,
00:34:45stay out of this.
00:34:46You can't save them,
00:34:47and 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 is rotten.
00:34:53You dare curse people at Lord Cassian's wedding feast.
00:34:56Ethan,
00:34:57your cheap little tricks are nothing before Master Healer Phelan.
00:35:00Some people only learn when death is at their door.
00:35:03First Holy Seal.
00:35:05Open the body.
00:35:06Sacred Light.
00:35:07Drive out the curse!
00:35:09Second Holy Seal.
00:35:11Steady the soul.
00:35:13Life return to the body.
00:35:15Third Holy Seal.
00:35:17Lock the darkness.
00:35:18Turn back death.
00:35:20Bind the soul.
00:35:28Lord Cassian,
00:35:29the Holy Seals are complete.
00:35:31They're safe now.
00:35:33I really feel fine.
00:35:35I don't feel any pain at all.
00:35:37Master Healer Phelan,
00:35:38your power is extraordinary.
00:35:40Ethan,
00:35:40this is real healing.
00:35:41A border healer like you can't compare.
00:35:44After coughing up that black blood,
00:35:46I feel so much lighter.
00:35:47The pain is gone too.
00:35:49Thank you,
00:35:50Master Healer Phelan.
00:35:51Your healing is unmatched.
00:35:54Lady Myra,
00:35:55your family were merely under a dark curse.
00:35:58I've suppressed it with Holy Seals.
00:36:00You're all fine now.
00:36:01Thank you,
00:36:02Master Healer Phelan.
00:36:04Ethan,
00:36:05you despicable border fraud.
00:36:07You dared put a dark curse on us?
00:36:09Kneel and apologize!
00:36:11Now!
00:36:12Master Healer Phelan
00:36:13has already exposed
00:36:14your 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,
00:36:22you'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
00:36:39there'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,
00:36:47I admit your curse work is not bad.
00:36:50Too bad you chose the wrong path.
00:36:52All you know is how to scare people
00:36:54with cheap curses.
00:36:57Zeus may be the legendary king of gods,
00:37:00and 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,
00:37:07I'll show you.
00:37:09You'd better come over here and apologize.
00:37:11Otherwise, I'll teach you how to crawl like a dog.
00:37:17You're not worth my time.
00:37:21I'll talk.
00:37:22Lord Cassian,
00:37:23don'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.
00:37:30Zeus' punishment begins in 30 seconds.
00:37:32Still playing God?
00:37:33Ha ha ha ha ha!
00:37:34I've practiced healing for over 30 years.
00:37:38I'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.
00:37:45Looks like Master Healing is serious now.
00:37:47That Border Healer is finished.
00:37:49What a shame.
00:37:50He's still young.
00:37:51He chose the wrong road.
00:37:52He brought this on himself.
00:37:54Ten seconds.
00:37:56At least you can count down to your own death.
00:37:58Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
00:38:01Three.
00:38:02First Holy Seal.
00:38:05Lock his legs.
00:38:18Second 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.
00:38:41This is impossible.
00:38:43You Border Healer.
00:38:45What did you do to me?
00:38:46Zeus' punishment cannot be reversed.
00:38:48Know your place.
00:38:54Is this Zeus' punishment?
00:38:57You really are Zeus reborn?
00:39:06What happened to Master Healer Felon was too strange.
00:39:09Was 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?
00:39:21Him?
00:39:22Everyone, you've been fooled by his Black Marsh sorcery.
00:39:25Zeus' punishment?
00:39:26It's a scare tactic.
00:39:27That was clearly a forbidden Black Marsh spell, a lost curse technique.
00:39:30He is not Zeus.
00:39:30He is a Black Marsh heretic.
00:39:33That'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.
00:39:40He used Black Marsh sorcery to impersonate Zeus.
00:39:42The Black Marks on the ground are proof.
00:39:45A 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, today 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?
00:40:21Zeus' punishment owes you no explanation.
00:40:26Cast out the Black Marsh heretic!
00:40:29Protect the North!
00:40:30Cast out the Black Marsh heretic!
00:40:32Protect the North!
00:40:34Cast out the Black Marsh heretic!
00:40:35Protect the North!
00:40:41I'm curious.
00:40:42If this Black Marsh forbidden spell has been lost for years, how did you recognize it at
00:40:46a glance?
00:40:48Have you seen it before?
00:40:50Lord Cassian was right.
00:40:52This Black Marsh heretic is panicking.
00:40:54So now he's trying to pull others down with him.
00:40:57He's trying to pull the Black Raven clan into this.
00:41:00Everyone stay alert.
00:41:02Seize this Black Marsh heretic.
00:41:11Insolent Black Marsh heretic.
00:41:14You harmed my disciple.
00:41:19Surrender at once.
00:41:23Ethan, your death has come.
00:41:33Another one coming to God.
00:41:44It's Master Healer Averius!
00:41:46Felon's Master.
00:41:48Averius is nearly a hundred years old and his healing is beyond anything we know.
00:41:51I heard that when he was young he even received guidance from Zeus' legacy.
00:41:55That Black Marsh heretic is dead.
00:41:57Ethan, Aurarius is unmatched in healing.
00:42:00The North calls him a living saint.
00:42:01Now that he's here, you can wait to die.
00:42:04Compared with Zeus, I am only a mortal.
00:42:06The gap is beyond measure.
00:42:08Guided by Zeus' oracle and still blind.
00:42:11Meeting you here must be fate.
00:42:13Young man, you may be gifted to Master Forbidden Black Marsh Arts at your age.
00:42:16But you chose the wrong path.
00:42:17You harmed my disciple, impersonated Zeus, abused Black Marsh's source, and brought disaster
00:42:21to the North.
00:42:21For that, you deserve death.
00:42:22You've lived all these years and you still can't see who is standing in front of you.
00:42:26Insolent Black Marsh heretic!
00:42:27You've lived this long.
00:42:28How is your mouth still so reckless?
00:42:30Face me in three trials.
00:42:32If you win, I'll guarantee your safe exit from Black Raven Keep today.
00:42:36Use whatever tricks you have.
00:42:38No one has ever survived even one move from Aurarius.
00:42:41You're dead today.
00:42:44Good.
00:42:46Blood mist takes shape.
00:42:48Bones of hatred rise.
00:42:50Nine shadows gather.
00:42:52Poisoned soul strike.
00:42:54Cheap tricks?
00:42:55And you dare show them to me?
00:43:03Holy seal, form the bones.
00:43:05Sacred light become chains.
00:43:07Triple lock.
00:43:08By the sacred altar, bind him.
00:43:11Boy, these are my sacred light chains.
00:43:13You're finished.
00:43:14Is that all you've got?
00:43:17Ancient wood, hear me.
00:43:18What?
00:43:18Sacred vines awaken.
00:43:19Life returns to the root.
00:43:21Earth, bind his body.
00:43:22Green vines, hold him fast.
00:43:30This is my ancient wood spell.
00:43:33Once the sacred vines bind the body, not even a beast can break free.
00:43:38Let's see how you escape this time.
00:43:52Sacred light or ancient wood.
00:43:54Before me, it all turns to dust.
00:44:00That Black Marsh heretic is brutal.
00:44:02He broke Master Healers Aurelius' ancient wood spell.
00:44:05Are you done?
00:44:07From this day on, I formally end my marriage pact with the Silverstag clan.
00:44:12From this moment on, we have nothing to do with each other.
00:44:15I am Zeus Reborn.
00:44:17If you don't believe me, go ask King Orion.
00:44:20Ethan, cursing people and pretending to be Zeus was bad enough.
00:44:23Now you dare use King Orion's name too?
00:44:25I didn't expect a border healer like you to know so much.
00:44:27Yes, King Orion did wake up today.
00:44:30But the man who saved King Orion could never be a Black Marsh heretic like you.
00:44:35Even Averius may not be able to break King Orion's Wendiglo curse.
00:44:37You?
00:44:37How could you possibly have saved King Orion?
00:44:40We should seize this Black Marsh heretic before he spreads more lies and causes more trouble inside Black Ravenholm.
00:44:46Guards!
00:44:47Take this Black Marsh heretic down!
00:44:55Let's see who dares.
00:45:00Anyone who disrespects Lord Ethan.
00:45:07Isn't that Princess Alara, eldest daughter of the Royal Court?
00:45:10I heard Ash Royal Court and the Black Raven clan have been at odds for years.
00:45:13Why would she come here?
00:45:14Princess Alara just called him Lord.
00:45:17Was he really the one who woke King Orion?
00:45:19Princess Alara, the Silverstag clan should have welcomed you properly.
00:45:23Please forgive us.
00:45:24Princess Alara, today we caught a Black Marsh heretic pretending to be Zeus.
00:45:27He even claimed he saved King Orion.
00:45:29Since you're here, we'll leave him to you.
00:45:31Princess Alara, it has been a long time.
00:45:33I heard King Orion woke today.
00:45:35I haven't had time to visit and congratulate you.
00:45:37How about this?
00:45:38I'll hand this fake Black Marsh heretic over to you as a congratulatory gift.
00:45:41You say he is a Black Marsh heretic pretending to be Zeus reborn?
00:45:44Exactly.
00:45:45This Black Marsh heretic used dark sorcery and killed Felon, the Black Raven clan's personal healer.
00:45:49He also badly injured Master Healer Aurarius, Felon's master.
00:45:52Everyone here witnessed it.
00:45:53I, Cassian, swear I'm telling the truth.
00:45:55Princess Alara, this man is a Black Marsh heretic.
00:45:58Please decide what should be done with him.
00:46:01Are you finished?
00:46:04King Orion woke because Lord Ethan saved him.
00:46:10You called the man who saved the king a Black Marsh heretic?
00:46:18Anyone who dares touch him again becomes an enemy of Ash royal court.
00:46:27Open your eyes and look carefully.
00:46:30This is Lord Ethan, the man who saved my father.
00:46:34He really is the one who woke King Orion.
00:46:35Princess Alara herself confirmed it.
00:46:36We wrongly accused that Black Marsh heretic.
00:46:38No, we wrongly accused Lord Ethan.
00:46:41How is that possible?
00:46:43Princess Alara, could you be mistaken?
00:46:45He's just a border healer from the Black Marsh.
00:46:47How could he have saved King Orion?
00:46:49This man knows Black Marsh sorcery.
00:46:51He knows how to deceive people.
00:46:53He is no true healer.
00:46:55What?
00:46:56Should Lord Ethan have invited all of you to stand there and watch while he saved my father?
00:47:00I call you princess out of respect for Ash royal court.
00:47:03Today, you came to my wedding feast and humiliated my bride to be in public.
00:47:06Tomorrow, will you bring soldiers into Black Raven held and trample our banner?
00:47:10Today, no matter who comes, this border healer stays here.
00:47:14You truly don't know when to stop.
00:47:18Ash royal court is nothing...
00:47:20I have never feared the Black Raven clan.
00:47:26Listen carefully.
00:47:28Lord Ethan saved my father today.
00:47:30He is the benefactor of Ash royal court.
00:47:32Disrespect him, and you disrespect Ash royal court.
00:47:35Lord Ethan, let's go.
00:47:38Wait!
00:47:42Wait.
00:47:45Even if Ethan saved King Orion, he still cursed my bride's family and injured the Black Raven clan's personal healers.
00:47:51That is also a fact.
00:47:53Alara, you may leave.
00:47:54I won't stop you.
00:47:55But Ethan stays here.
00:47:57You reminded me.
00:47:58I still have unfinished business with the Silver Stair clan.
00:48:01You still dare talk big?
00:48:03The Silver Stair clan has not survived all these years by being scared.
00:48:05You're only hiding behind Princess Alora.
00:48:07Have you forgotten you're just a border healer?
00:48:08Isn't hiding behind power what the Silver Stair clan does best?
00:48:12Ethan, don't push your luck.
00:48:13Don't think Princess Alora's presence means you can walk out that door.
00:48:17A nest of fools walking into death.
00:48:18Zeus' punishment.
00:48:27You still dare attack?
00:48:29They broke the ancient marriage pact with their own hands.
00:48:32This is the punishment they earn.
00:48:37Do you still think this is Black Marsh sorcery?
00:48:49Lord Morvaena, the Black Raven clan wants Ash Royal Courts, salt mines, and forests.
00:48:55But they refuse every offer we make.
00:48:58Please plant a curse in that old king.
00:49:00Let me take Ash Royal Court for myself and fulfill my ambition.
00:49:07Darion, do you have a death wish?
00:49:10How dare you tell me what to do?
00:49:13I wouldn't dare.
00:49:14Everything will be as you command.
00:49:16Have your son bring Lady Seraphina of the Silver Stair clan back here.
00:49:19Once I use her Frost Bloodland to forge the final curse seed, you'll get your reward.
00:49:23Cassian is at the wedding with the Silver Stair clan right now.
00:49:26In less than an hour, Seraphina will be brought deep into Black Raven hope.
00:49:29After that, she is yours.
00:49:33Divine punishment, so that's what happened.
00:49:36Zeus Reborn helped King Orion pull out my curse.
00:49:40Wait.
00:49:43If you rush to your son's wedding feast now, you may still bring him back in one piece.
00:49:47Otherwise, not even a god can save him.
00:49:50Remember this.
00:49:51Do not provoke the young man with the medicine gore.
00:49:53You cannot have to cross him.
00:49:55Thank you for the warning, my lord.
00:50:03Father, mother, what's wrong, mother?
00:50:07Don't scare me.
00:50:09Seraphina, are you alright?
00:50:11Ethan, you vile coward.
00:50:14You did this to my family.
00:50:16You...
00:50:17Serafina, don't talk.
00:50:18Breathe.
00:50:21Cassian, my chest hurts.
00:50:23I can't hold on.
00:50:26If I die, I'll be in the sky.
00:50:29Seraphina!
00:50:30This is what happens when you break an ancient marriage trap.
00:50:34What?
00:50:35You want to try too?
00:50:36If I don't kill you today, my name isn't Cassio.
00:50:42Stop!
00:50:47Ethan, my father is here.
00:50:49You're dead.
00:50:52Do you know who my father is, men in the north?
00:50:54Darian, chief of the Black Raven clan.
00:50:57One of the most ruthless men in the north.
00:50:58Under him, the Black Raven clan has taken plenty of salt mines and forests.
00:51:01Now they dare stand against Ash Royal Court.
00:51:03Darian is ruthless.
00:51:05People who offend him tend to disappear without explanation.
00:51:07Be careful.
00:51:09So what?
00:51:10What happened here?
00:51:12Father, you have to stand up for me.
00:51:15My wedding feast with Seraphina was going perfectly.
00:51:17Then this border healer named Ethan ruined everything.
00:51:21He used Black Marsh sorcery to hurt people.
00:51:23He left the Silverstag family half dead and badly injured Master Healer Felon and Master
00:51:27Healer Aurarius.
00:51:28I wanted to hold him accountable, but Alara keeps protecting this Black Marsh heretic.
00:51:32Father, now that you're here, you have to make this right.
00:51:36Is that true?
00:51:37Every word.
00:51:38If I lied, may thunder strike me down.
00:51:41Chief Darian, the Silverstag clan broke an ancient marriage pact and insulted Lord Ethan.
00:51:46Chief Darian, Zeus' punishment fell on them.
00:51:48They brought this on themselves.
00:51:51Or are you only listening to your son's side?
00:51:54No, father.
00:51:55You know me.
00:51:56I never start trouble outside.
00:51:58It was this Black Marsh heretic who attacked innocent people.
00:52:00He hurt your future in-laws.
00:52:02If I let this insult stand, everyone will think the Black Raven clan has no strength left.
00:52:09Are you here to avenge the Silverstag clan and defend your son too?
00:52:14If you rush to your son's wedding feast now, you may still bring him back in one piece.
00:52:18Otherwise, not even a god can save him.
00:52:21Remember this.
00:52:22Do not provoke the young man with the medicine gore.
00:52:24You cannot have to cross him.
00:52:25Thank you for the warning, my lord.
00:52:29Father, you have to stand up for me.
00:52:31You Black Marsh heretic.
00:52:32You die today.
00:52:43Father, what are you doing?
00:52:45He hurt our people.
00:52:47You hit me instead of him?
00:52:49How many times have I told you, keep your head down outside.
00:52:52There is always someone more powerful.
00:52:54If Lord Ethan hadn't shown you mercy today, you would already be dead with nothing left to bury.
00:53:00Father, you're out of your mind.
00:53:01This Black Marsh heretic hurt our people first.
00:53:04He started this.
00:53:05That slap was for being too blind to recognize divine power.
00:53:10Father, have you lost your mind?
00:53:13That slap was for causing trouble and never learning your lesson.
00:53:17Father, what are you doing?
00:53:19He...
00:53:19And that slap was for your arrogance.
00:53:22You almost destroyed the entire Black Raven clan.
00:53:36What?
00:53:37Darian Chief of the Black Raven clan is kneeling before a border healer?
00:53:41My father has never bowed to anyone.
00:53:43Father, people kneel before the Black Raven clan.
00:53:45How can you kneel for him?
00:53:47Shut up!
00:53:48Do you know who he is?
00:53:53Lord Ethan, this is the seal to the Black Raven treasury.
00:53:56There are 100,000 gold coins inside.
00:53:59Consider it my son's apology gift.
00:54:01And the matter of the Silver Stag clan?
00:54:03The Silver Stag clan broke an ancient marriage pact and mocked a power they didn't understand.
00:54:06They sealed their own fate.
00:54:10What happened today will never leave this room.
00:54:13The Black Raven clan will make sure this never affect Lord Ethan.
00:54:16Lord Ethan, please accept the treasury seal.
00:54:19You think this is enough to buy your son's life?
00:54:26The Black Raven clan also has ancient relics, mind deeds, war horses and jewels.
00:54:31Please accept them all, Lord Ethan.
00:54:33I only ask you to spare my son today.
00:54:37Father, are you insane?
00:54:38You're kneeling and apologizing to our enemy?
00:54:42Guards, lock him up.
00:54:45Father!
00:54:47Lord Ethan, does this arrangement satisfy you?
00:54:50You have more sense than he does.
00:54:52Fine.
00:54:53I came today only to end the Silver Stag marriage pact.
00:54:55The rest of our debts can wait.
00:54:57Thank you for sparing us, Lord Ethan.
00:55:09If anyone leaks a single word of what happened today, if anyone leaks a single word of what happened today,
00:55:14you'll kill them.
00:55:19Princess Alara, did you come to Black Raven hope because King Orion's curse returned?
00:55:25Father is well.
00:55:26Thank you for asking, Lord Ethan.
00:55:28After you left the royal court, Father learned that Seraphina's marriage partner tonight was Cassian.
00:55:33The Black Raven clan is a top power in the north.
00:55:35They are not as strong as Ash Royal House, but they cannot be underestimated.
00:55:39After the Silflog clan tied themselves to Black Raven, they became even more argant.
00:55:44Father was worried you would be humiliated here, so he sent me to help you.
00:55:48These two families are blind.
00:55:49They failed to recognize your true identity and nearly harmed you.
00:55:53It's nothing.
00:55:54What can a few Black Ravens and Silver Stalks do to me?
00:55:58Princess Alara, you came here for another reason.
00:56:01Father sent me to investigate the one who released the curse.
00:56:04We have a lead.
00:56:05Lord Ethan, please return to the royal court with me.
00:56:08Ash Royal Court truly rules the north.
00:56:10You found a lead this quickly.
00:56:12Lord Ethan, please.
00:56:18How many times did I tell you to keep your head down?
00:56:20But you never listen.
00:56:21Now look at this.
00:56:23The wedding feast is ruined.
00:56:24The Silver Stag clan is half dead.
00:56:27How do you plan to clean this up?
00:56:34She's just one girl from Silver Stag.
00:56:36Is she really that important?
00:56:38There are plenty of clans in the north dying to marry into Black Raven.
00:56:41Are you telling me it has to be Seraphina?
00:56:43What do you know?
00:56:44Seraphina has a rare frost bloodline.
00:56:47Lord Morvain specifically wanted her.
00:56:50Bringing her into the Black Raven clan was the most important part.
00:56:53Your arrogance and blindness ruined something that mattered.
00:56:56Is it really that mystical?
00:56:58I don't believe the Black Raven clan falls apart without Seraphina.
00:57:03And today was already enough.
00:57:04Zeus reborn.
00:57:06Divine punishment.
00:57:07Now some Black Marsh curse lord shows up too.
00:57:09Does this ever end?
00:57:11Lord Morvain.
00:57:12My son is reckless and speaks without thinking.
00:57:14Please forgive him.
00:57:15I will find another way to bring Seraphina back.
00:57:18Father, you're the chief of the Black Raven clan.
00:57:21Even King Aron fears you.
00:57:23Why are you kneeling to this masked man?
00:57:29What did you do to me?
00:57:34Teaching you to keep your mouth shut.
00:57:38Please spare my son.
00:57:40Darian, have you forgotten who raised the Black Raven clan to where it is today?
00:57:45I would never forget.
00:57:46Without your help, the Black Raven clan would be nothing.
00:57:48Please spare my son.
00:57:50As chief of the Black Raven clan, you couldn't even bring me Seraphina.
00:57:52Perhaps the Black Raven clan no longer deserves my support.
00:57:55Father, help me.
00:57:56Mercy, my lord.
00:57:57I've served you faithfully for years.
00:57:59Please give me one more chance.
00:58:00You have one more chance.
00:58:02Fail again and you die.
00:58:04Command me, my lord.
00:58:05I will do whatever it takes.
00:58:08King Orion's second daughter, Princess Lyra.
00:58:12She carries royal blood, soul flame, and Black Marsh curse energy.
00:58:15She is an even better vessel for a new curse seed than Seraphina.
00:58:18Princess Lyra is inside Ash Royal Court.
00:58:21The guards there are tight.
00:58:23She is not in the royal court.
00:58:26She is in the east tower of your Black Raven clan right now.
00:58:31In 15 minutes, I want her standing before me.
00:58:34Otherwise, you know what happens.
00:58:36I understand.
00:58:37I understand.
00:58:42Lord Ethan, you're here.
00:58:44Please sit.
00:58:45No need for formalities.
00:58:47Treat this as your own home.
00:58:48King Orion, didn't I tell you to rest?
00:58:51Why are you pushing yourself?
00:58:52Thanks to you, Lord Ethan.
00:58:54I'm already much better.
00:58:57When 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.
00:59:08King Orion, speak plainly.
00:59:11Ten years ago, when my mother passed away, Ash Royal Court had just begun rising.
00:59:17We were blocked at every turn.
00:59:18On my way back to the royal court, I met an old man in a black robe.
00:59:21He said we were faded and gave me a jar of black marsh herbs for free.
00:59:25He told me the herbs must not be boiled or drank.
00:59:28If the herbs weren't for drinking, what were they for?
00:59:31To place at the bedside and ward off evil.
00:59:33And then?
00:59:35Then, everything began going smoothly for Ash Royal Court.
00:59:40After that, it became one of the strongest courts in the north.
00:59:43Lord Ethan, you truly see through everything.
00:59:45From that day on, I would lose consciousness from time to time until I met you, Lord Ethan.
00:59:50Those were not soul-calming herbs.
00:59:51They carried the Wendigo curse.
00:59:53The price of Ash Royal Court's rise was the royal bloodline being drained while the court was destroyed from within.
01:00:02Lord Ethan,
01:00:03You saved my family's lives.
01:00:06After I woke up, that jar of black marsh herbs disappeared.
01:00:10I searched my memory and found a clue to that person.
01:00:14We learned that the last place he appeared was the black marsh border.
01:00:18The black marsh border?
01:00:20Isn't that where the Wendigo is sealed?
01:00:21I remember now.
01:00:23When that old man in the black robe gave me the black marsh herbs,
01:00:26he asked me if I wanted revenge.
01:00:32Revenge?
01:00:33What was that about?
01:00:34Back then, the herbs and gold coins meant to save my mother's life were stolen by bandits on the road.
01:00:40Her treatment was delayed.
01:00:42In the end, she still passed away.
01:00:48So that was when you met the old man in the black robe?
01:00:51I was in despair when I met him.
01:00:53The first thing he asked was whether I wanted revenge.
01:00:56Did you ever see him again after that?
01:00:59Never.
01:01:00So he knew what you wanted most.
01:01:04I remember something else.
01:01:05Father, please tell us everything at once.
01:01:08That old man wore a black robe with a black cloak over it.
01:01:11On the cloak, there was a very clear black sun emblem.
01:01:17There's a curse in the tea.
01:01:18Don't drink it!
01:01:24Lord Ethan, how is Alara?
01:01:27Princess Alana was hit by the curse in the tea.
01:01:29She'll be safe for now.
01:01:32But the curse inside Princess Alana is a soul-linked curse.
01:01:36It is different from the Wendigo curse that was inside you.
01:01:39If the soul stays in the body, the person lives.
01:01:41If not, the body can be taken over.
01:01:43The source of this curse is not inside Princess Alara.
01:01:46What?
01:01:46Alara drank the herbal tea.
01:01:48How can the source not be inside her?
01:01:49Lord Ethan, please tell me!
01:01:50The curse seed is inside Princess Alara.
01:01:55Lord Morvane, as you requested, I brought her here.
01:02:02Who are you?
01:02:02What do you want?
01:02:03Don't be afraid, Princess Alara.
01:02:05I simply wanted to invite you for tea and a little talk.
01:02:08Catch up?
01:02:09I don't even know you!
01:02:10And who dies?
01:02:12You may not know me.
01:02:13But your father, King Arion, and I are old friends.
01:02:17Without my Black Marsh medicine, Ash Royal Court would never have become the strongest court in the North.
01:02:22In other words, in the North, I decide who live.
01:02:26My father may have taken your medicine, but Ash Royal Court rose because of him.
01:02:30What does that have to do with you?
01:02:32I helped, didn't I?
01:02:33I'm only collecting what King Arion owes me.
01:02:38Give Princess Lyra that tea.
01:02:45What are you doing?
01:02:46I...
01:02:46Drink it.
01:02:47No more talking.
01:02:50No more talking.
01:02:52No more talking.
01:02:55One soul, two lives.
01:02:57Bind their pain.
01:02:59Link them across distance.
01:03:01Life and death as one.
01:03:04What...
01:03:05What did you do to me?
01:03:07Nothing much.
01:03:08Just a soul-linked curse.
01:03:10This curse connects your life with Alara's.
01:03:12If her curse is removed, you die.
01:03:15But if it isn't removed, your sister dies in one hour.
01:03:19Now, I want to see which daughter King Arion chooses to save.
01:03:23Princess Alara or you?
01:03:27You're disgusting.
01:03:29Don't worry.
01:03:30I'm only playing with your royal court.
01:03:32If I wanted you dead, you wouldn't survive today.
01:03:36Send Princess Lyra back.
01:03:40May I speak with Princess Lyra alone?
01:03:43I need to settle a small score from today.
01:03:45Do as you like.
01:03:46Thank you, Lord Morvain.
01:03:50Princess Lyra, let's go.
01:03:52I'll send you home.

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