Short filmTranscript
00:00:01Get those banners hoisted. Straighten the garlands.
00:00:05Bring the wine to the guests. Now!
00:00:09Today's a blessed day. The old gods are smiling on us.
00:00:20Whose wretched carriage is this? Have you any idea what day it is?
00:00:24You're blocking Lady Isabella's path on her wedding day.
00:00:28Bring me Alistair.
00:00:29You dare speak his name? You're not fit to breed the same air.
00:00:34I am Morgana. I have come to collect what is mine.
00:00:44I'll fetch him right away!
00:00:49Sixty years. You've had my eyes. Now I want them back.
00:00:53A grand day. My daughter marries a prince.
00:00:58My lord! My lord!
00:01:00Control yourself.
00:01:02A woman at the gates. She says her name is Morgana. She demands to see you. Now.
00:01:12Morgana.
00:01:14Forgive me. I didn't know you were coming.
00:01:17House Alistrim is yours. Show us mercy.
00:01:20My lord. You are a duke. You kneel to no one but the king.
00:01:24One more word. And I'll cut it out myself.
00:01:28My lady. Please.
00:01:48Mind the steps, my lady.
00:01:54The sky turns.
00:02:04Sixty years ago.
00:02:07I broke myself into twelve embers.
00:02:11The throne was secured.
00:02:13My lord. It is time.
00:02:20To reclaim them all.
00:02:26I assumed we were hosting royalty.
00:02:29For my husband to grovel so.
00:02:32To greet you himself.
00:02:33I simply had to see who...
00:02:45Morgana, was it?
00:02:47You are a guest in my halls.
00:02:49Drink.
00:02:54Your wine, my lady.
00:02:57A blind witch.
00:02:59This shall be too easy.
00:03:10I told them to boil it.
00:03:12Doorish vintage.
00:03:14Pity it turned to vinegar.
00:03:16Masked with...
00:03:18Heavy spice.
00:03:20Poured from the rot.
00:03:21At the bottom of your cellar.
00:03:23Is this...
00:03:24How House Alistair hides its decay?
00:03:26How could she possibly smell that?
00:03:28She knows.
00:03:30How could she know?
00:03:31You insolent wretch!
00:03:33Keep your filthy mouth!
00:03:39By his wits alone did Lord Alistair survive.
00:03:42Isabella, your gown!
00:03:43A tragedy.
00:03:45His bloodline rots with me.
00:03:47How dare you!
00:03:49My husband may tolerate your delusions.
00:03:51But I will not!
00:03:52You just assaulted the future crown princess.
00:03:55By royal decree, you will kneel and you will bleed for it.
00:03:59She is a fool.
00:04:00You are worse.
00:04:02Even the gods of the underworld have yet to see me kneel.
00:04:07Why would you?
00:04:10We shall see.
00:04:12Guards, take her!
00:04:18And break her legs.
00:04:20Do it!
00:04:25Seize her!
00:04:26Now!
00:04:27Now!
00:04:42Stop!
00:04:44Stop this at once!
00:04:45Fools!
00:04:50Morgana!
00:04:51They know nothing!
00:04:52They acted out of turn!
00:04:54Spare them!
00:04:56I beg of you!
00:04:58Alistair!
00:04:58Father!
00:04:59Both of you!
00:05:00You blind arrogant fools!
00:05:03She chose restraint!
00:05:05Or you would already be ashes upon this floor!
00:05:08On your knees!
00:05:09Beg for your lives!
00:05:12I bow to no one!
00:05:14I am the future crown princess!
00:05:17I will wear the crown!
00:05:19I will rule this realm!
00:05:23I am a queen!
00:05:24She is just a-
00:05:30A pity.
00:05:33No crown rests on a dead woman.
00:05:37You will die before the wedding bells ring.
00:05:56No!
00:05:58No!
00:05:59Get out of my house!
00:06:01Silence your tongue!
00:06:03Morgana, please!
00:06:05How do we stop this?
00:06:06Call off the royal wedding.
00:06:09Break betrotha.
00:06:13Or...
00:06:14She dies.
00:06:24The royal escort led by the obsidian guard.
00:06:27Commander Cedric himself.
00:06:29The reaper of the realm.
00:06:36The prophecy is written.
00:06:42And the king's edict?
00:06:53Commander Cedric, you heard the prophecy.
00:06:56If Isabella rides to the palace today, it will be her funeral.
00:07:00The crown commands this union, Lord Alistair.
00:07:04My escort is already at your gates.
00:07:08You dare defy the throne over cheap politrix?
00:07:11And break the royal contract?
00:07:14Unless...
00:07:16You doubt my ability to keep her breathing.
00:07:20No, Commander.
00:07:21Your blade is legendary.
00:07:23Your tactics flawless.
00:07:25The king trusts no other.
00:07:26She is safe with you.
00:07:29But...
00:07:29Morgana has seen it.
00:07:31She is our only hope.
00:07:33Alistair.
00:07:34The king's patience is not infinite.
00:07:37Do not humiliate us for a blind witch.
00:07:40The crown's wrath will burn this castle to the ground.
00:07:43I will not let you ruin us.
00:07:45She is right, father.
00:07:46I am perfectly safe with the commander.
00:07:49Have the carriage ready.
00:07:51I will fetch my veil.
00:07:57Isabella!
00:07:59Let her go.
00:08:01The hour is set.
00:08:02My debt shall be claimed when the blood runs dry.
00:08:12Play the prophet.
00:08:13Watch her cross those gates alive.
00:08:18I'll feel the blood.
00:08:23Bring the oracle a horse.
00:08:41The enemy is there.
00:08:42The enemy is dead.
00:08:46The enemy is dead.
00:08:47Don't wait, man.
00:08:49I was afraid of having a knife.
00:08:49He's dead.
00:08:49I'm not even sure.
00:08:51You're dead.
00:08:53No, you're dead.
00:08:57The enemy is dead.
00:09:11Take them to the Iron Court.
00:09:13I want a name.
00:09:14Yes, Commander!
00:09:23Thank the gods Cedric was here.
00:09:25We're safe.
00:09:27He earned his coin.
00:09:31You fight well, mortal.
00:09:33Pity it changes nothing.
00:09:35I do not guess.
00:09:38The grave is dug.
00:09:41The hour is here!
00:09:43Step forward, future Empress!
00:09:51Isabella, my love, finally.
00:10:07I'm ready, Father.
00:10:09The crown is mine.
00:10:11Our legacy begins.
00:10:15My daughter.
00:10:16Our ultimate masterpiece.
00:10:21Lock it down.
00:10:22Double guards.
00:10:23Kill anything that moves.
00:10:24Nothing.
00:10:25Touch that carriage.
00:10:26Are we clear?
00:10:27Crystal clear, Captain.
00:10:28Consider it done.
00:10:29You're wasting men.
00:10:33The prophecy has spoken.
00:10:35The bride won't survive this journey.
00:10:37I am never wrong.
00:10:39Enlighten me then, Oracle.
00:10:41Give me a name.
00:10:42How exactly does she die?
00:10:44Give me real intel.
00:10:46Do that, I might believe you.
00:10:48Seeing the end requires a price.
00:10:50A transaction.
00:10:52I see the blood.
00:10:54The question is, can you afford it?
00:10:58There it is.
00:10:59The classic shakedown we always get here.
00:11:02Just a beggar.
00:11:02I could watch the Duke's daughter in her wedding dress.
00:11:05Perfectly protected by your elite guards.
00:11:08Ride straight to her execution.
00:11:10Let me ride with your convoy.
00:11:13Take me.
00:11:14I'll prove you wrong.
00:11:19I see the threads.
00:11:22Every drop of blood before it falls.
00:11:25The end is written.
00:11:27You're just walking the path blind.
00:11:30Cut the riddles.
00:11:31You're in my cell now.
00:11:35If you see everything,
00:11:36then what happens next?
00:11:39Does the blade slip?
00:11:40Does the steel bite?
00:11:42Or maybe I'm just sick of your games
00:11:43and slit your throat right now.
00:11:45Did you see that?
00:11:50A seer is blind to her own end.
00:11:53That is the only law I obey.
00:11:56Then tell me how this ends.
00:11:59But you cannot kill me, Cedric.
00:12:04Let's put that to the test.
00:12:06Steel cannot touch me.
00:12:11By drawing it on me, you owe a deadly debt.
00:12:14Madness.
00:12:15I serve the crown.
00:12:17I don't fear witches.
00:12:20Still believe in hard facts, commander.
00:12:24Commander!
00:12:26We have a situation.
00:12:27The prisoners from the ambush, sir.
00:12:29They took poison.
00:12:31Hidden in their teeth.
00:12:32They're all dead.
00:12:33Trails cold.
00:12:34Dead?
00:12:35You let our only witnesses die in chains?
00:12:37They were paid to die.
00:12:39They'd never talk.
00:12:41You want the true killer?
00:12:42Stop asking the living.
00:12:44They only lie.
00:12:45I'll make the dead speak.
00:12:58The prophecy.
00:13:00She knew.
00:13:02How?
00:13:02She was right there.
00:13:04The prophecy is fulfilled.
00:13:06Her blood is spilled.
00:13:09You killed my daughter!
00:13:10Your daughter's death was a tragedy.
00:13:12Eleanor, don't provoke her.
00:13:14Look at the carriage!
00:13:15The doors were sealed!
00:13:17Who else could bypass those locks?
00:13:19Enough!
00:13:20Seal the gates!
00:13:21Nobody leaves this yort yard!
00:13:23You're all suspects.
00:13:24Take them to the Iron Court!
00:13:31We're alone.
00:13:33Just tell me the damn truth.
00:13:34How did you reach inside a moving, heavily guarded carriage and take her head without a single
00:13:40sound?
00:13:41You mapped out her execution beforehand.
00:13:45Fine.
00:13:47Say you didn't swing the blade yourself.
00:13:50But you orchestrated this.
00:13:54If that comforts you.
00:13:56You may use it.
00:14:01You said you could make the dead speak.
00:14:03Name your price.
00:14:05There's always a price with you.
00:14:07Always.
00:14:08Name it.
00:14:09Whatever closes this investigation.
00:14:12I want your absolute obedience.
00:14:15When I speak, you do not question.
00:14:19When I point, you do not hesitate.
00:14:21My loyalty is to the crown.
00:14:23I don't give blind trust.
00:14:25I have the killer.
00:14:27If you put the murderer in front of me, then you have my trust.
00:14:32Don't make a vow you can't keep, Commander.
00:14:35You have my word.
00:14:36I won't break it.
00:14:41Take this.
00:14:43Sew her head back on.
00:14:45You want me to mutilate a royal corpse?
00:14:47Every second you wait, she fades.
00:14:53Her soul is bleeding out.
00:14:57It's done.
00:14:58What now?
00:15:00Open the doors.
00:15:03Bring them all.
00:15:04The grieving father.
00:15:06The weeping mother.
00:15:08Bring the prince who lost his bride.
00:15:10We are going to hold a court of our own.
00:15:19Isabella!
00:15:20My baby!
00:15:21Oh God!
00:15:23Hold her back.
00:15:23Don't let her touch the body.
00:15:24Let me go!
00:15:25That's my daughter!
00:15:27Why is she here?
00:15:28Why is that blind woman in the judge's seat?
00:15:31Commander Ashworth, she killed her!
00:15:34She cursed my daughter and you let her sit there!
00:15:37His Royal Highness, Prince Kale!
00:15:41Isabella!
00:15:41Let me through!
00:15:43Isabella!
00:15:44No!

00:15:54Flesh to thread.
00:15:56Bone to command.
00:15:58Rise.
00:16:05You demanded proof, Commander.
00:16:08Behold the truth.

00:21:24if my son took the cradle
00:21:27he'd rule

00:22:56I
00:22:58you
00:23:17I gave them my sight, to watch the dark.
00:23:21Instead, they watched the throne, built a lie, thought they could cheat fate, thought they owned me.
00:23:30They own nothing. I'm taking it all back. With blood.
00:23:36Mortal hands cannot hold the weight of a god. It crushes them.
00:23:41The Alistair debt is settled. My sight is mine again.
00:23:48Now, we move to the next house.
00:23:51Stop! You can't just march in there. This is treason. I must alert the Emperor.
00:23:56No need to call the Emperor. He's already here.
00:24:05Gods. The Emperor.
00:24:11Your Majesty.
00:24:16By royal decree, Prince Kale and the Empress are hereby spankstripped of titles. They shall be cast into the Black
00:24:23Cells.
00:24:24It shall be done.
00:24:32Lady Morgana! Lady Morgana, it's you!
00:24:35Careful, sire! Morgana! Sire, wait! Lady Morgana!
00:24:41Oh, my Lady Morgana. Forgive me. It's my fault. I was blind to let them trouble you.
00:24:50I wish to name you High Protector, to guide the realm. Every mage alive will answer only to your command.
00:24:59My rule is simple. One shard for one question. You want a prophecy? Give me your family's ancient inheritance. The
00:25:09crown shard in exchange.
00:25:12Right. If you wish to reclaim the shard, I will gladly return it. After all, my family owes our throne
00:25:21to-
00:25:21Power is a debt. When I give, and when I take, is my choice alone. Why the rush?
00:25:28Ah, yes. You are completely right. Please, rest at Ashermyth Palace. Everything will grant her than-
00:25:35No, no! Higher than Imperial standards!
00:25:38No need. I am going to Ashwith Keep. Besides, my heart currently belongs to him.
00:25:54Yes, yes, of course. Take my royal carriage. Please, my Lady. After you.
00:26:01Your Grace, that is the Sovereign's carriage. It breaks royal protocol.
00:26:05Shut your mouth!
00:26:08Lady Morgana is the law. Her word is absolute. There is no protocol in this world that outrants her. Isn't
00:26:14that right, my dear Lady? Please.
00:26:17Mind the step, my Lady. Careful now. Very careful. Commander Ashworth. Your Grace.
00:26:24If she suffers even a scratch, I swear to God, I will hang every last member of your retted house.
00:26:29Do I make myself clear?
00:26:31Crystal clear, Your Grace. My dear Lady Morgana, I have just remembered. Some urgent matters of state to attend to.
00:26:39I must take my leave.
00:26:44You serve Lady Morgana now. Farewell. Have a pleasant journey.
00:26:52Earlier you said that I had your heart. What the hell does that mean?
00:26:56Sixty years ago, my heart was carved from my chest. It is not with you. It is in your house.
00:27:07My house?
00:27:11This way, Lady Morgana. Thanks to your grace, sixty years ago, when you bestowed the Heartmen Shard upon us, the
00:27:18Ashworth name is now renowned for our healing arts.
00:27:20You see? These afflicted souls travel from the furthest corners of the kingdom, seeking our aid.
00:27:26So, the legendary Ashworth healing arts actually came from you. Tell me then, just how old are you exactly?
00:27:37Does it matter to you? Please, my lord! Save my mother! Wake up, Mama! Somebody help her!
00:27:43Have mercy! Please help my mother! I beg of you!
00:27:47This is all the coin I have. Please, show some mercy.
00:27:52A handful of dirty coppers? And you expect the Master's healing for that? Get out of here, now! Stop wasting
00:27:59everyone's time.
00:28:00Selina!
00:28:03Cedric! You're finally home!
00:28:06When I gave your family the Shard, it was to heal the Broken. To serve the Realm, not to exploit
00:28:12the weak. You have broken the Pact. Give the Fragment back.
00:28:16Who do you think you are? How dare a commoner like you make demands in Ashwild Key?
00:28:22Silence! Show her respect!
00:28:25This is Selina Frost. A ward taken in by my father.
00:28:30Selina.
00:28:31We heal the sick, regardless of coin! Have you forgotten? Go to the chapel! Pray! Beg her forgiveness!
00:28:38You heard him! To the chapel, now!
00:28:42I beg your pardon, my lady. I had no idea she was extorting them.
00:28:48Rest assured, the Ashwoods honor your gift. We'd never turn away the poor. Most days, we treat all these commoners
00:28:55without asking for any money.
00:28:58I said, return the Shard.
00:29:02Or do you mean to defy me?
00:29:04No, no! The relic is rightfully yours! I will return it to you immediately.
00:29:09It is just, the Hartman Shrad is kept safe by my eldest Maren. She's been in seclusion at a distant
00:29:16abbey for years. Once she returns from her retreat, I will present it to you myself.
00:29:20Fine. I will wait.
00:29:27Every time I return, she still won't see me.
00:29:32Fifteen years. Fifteen years since I've laid eyes on her. Does she really despise me that much?
00:29:37Why do you think she treats you with such coldness?
00:29:42Because of what I did. She hates me.
00:29:46When I was a boy, I almost died. My sister came for me. And the iron drove through her right
00:29:52arm in my place. She was never the same again.
00:29:58She was a master healer. Those gifted hands. She could bring the dying back to life. But because of me,
00:30:05the scar on her arm never faded. And she was taken from me forever.
00:30:09She became a completely different person after that. The Hartman Shard was hers by birthright.
00:30:15With its power, she became the greatest healer in the kingdom. And then they sent her far away, to a
00:30:21quiet abbey where she could practice in peace.
00:30:23But I know the truth. That day became a thorn in her heart. One that will never be pulled out.
00:30:31Every time she looks at me, she remembers what saving me cost her.
00:30:35Everything is bound by consequence, Commander. You see only the branches above the soil, but you are blind to the
00:30:42roots below.
00:30:43What is that supposed to mean?
00:30:45You will know soon enough.
00:30:51My knees are hurting. I'll fetch the salve.
00:30:55Cedric just got back, and he's already screaming at me because of her!
00:30:59She's an honored guest. Even Lord Ashworth had to apologize to her. Master Cedric serves her.
00:31:05People are whispering. She might be his future bride.
00:31:09His future bride? Look at her. She's a freak. With that filthy black rags. She doesn't deserve Cedric.
00:31:21Crone.
00:31:22What is that?
00:31:24Honey cakes. Master Cedric's favorite. And imperial spiced wine for Lady Morgana.
00:31:31Halt!
00:31:33Imperial spiced wine?
00:31:35A gift from the Emperor himself. It's worth a fortune.
00:31:38You really know how to grovel.
00:31:41Give it here!
00:31:45Healers always keep the best poisons.
00:31:47This widow's kiss is lethal.
00:31:50No taste, no cure.
00:31:53Drink up, Morgana.
00:31:55Go. Take it to her.
00:31:57I cannot, my lady. She is Master Cedric's guest.
00:32:03Know your place!
00:32:05Without Ashfield Charity, a useless old crone would be rotting in the gutter.
00:32:12Pathetic.
00:32:17I am disciplining a servant. Since when does a blind freak interfere with Ashfield affairs?
00:32:23If your tongue serves only to offend, then you should not speak at all.
00:32:30Morgana.
00:32:31You little piece of-
00:32:33My lady, what is it? My lady, what's wrong?
00:32:36Please, say something!
00:32:37What's doing this?
00:32:38Guards! Help us!
00:32:40Get Lord Aldric! She's choking!
00:32:42She can't breathe!
00:32:43Lord Aldric! Please, hurry!
00:32:45I'm right here. Just breathe. She suddenly lost her voice.
00:32:50Selene is just a foolish girl. She didn't mean to offend you.
00:32:53I will make her apologize to you at once.
00:32:55What are you waiting for? Apologize! Now! Are you deaf?
00:32:59Do you want to be mute forever?
00:33:05My lady.
00:33:08I don't want your apology. Kneel to the one you truly wronged.
00:33:13Please, no! I'm nobody! A lady cannot kneel to me! I'm just a servant!
00:33:18Silence! Just be grateful!
00:33:20Every brick in this house rests on the Hartmann Shard. She built our legacy.
00:33:27Oracle, I beg you. She's terrified.
00:33:30Let it be enough. Please, have mercy.
00:33:39Your mercy is boundless, my lady. I will discipline the girl at once.
00:33:45Come, my lady. Let us go.
00:33:51Are you hurt?
00:33:52I am fine, my lord.
00:33:55You've grown so thin. The northern winds have been cruel to you. You must stay longer this time. Your name
00:34:02day is soon. I knitted you a pair of thick winter gloves. Let me fetch them for you. Wait right
00:34:08here for me.
00:34:11That old woman.
00:34:12That old woman. Her devotion to you is genuine.
00:34:15It is. She has been here since I was a boy. Always kind to me. When I was injured as
00:34:21a boy, she sneaked me pouches. And every year on my name day, when my own sister was lost to
00:34:28me, she brought me warm broth and fresh bread. With her, I almost remember what having a sister felt like.
00:34:35If that is true, you should show her more grace while you can. I have seen the shadow on her.
00:34:41She has but a few days left. Do not wait until tomorrow to realize what you have lost.
00:34:52Listen to me, child. Never cross paths with Morgana again.
00:34:56She thinks she owns us.
00:34:58Patience, my sweet girl. I'm securing your future. Play the game. Let her think she's win. Soon, everything will be
00:35:07yours.
00:35:09Lady Morgana, Lady Ashfield has sent me to return the Hartman Shard to its rightful owner.
00:35:15We have heard when you take back what is yours, you offer a reading in return. Lady Ashworth has written
00:35:23her question right here on this parchment.
00:35:26Take it, Cedric.
00:35:32I will not answer this question because the Hartman Shard is a fake.
00:35:38What?
00:35:40A fake!
00:35:41Someone must have switched it when she wasn't looking. I'll get to the bottom of this, tonight.
00:35:47Don't.
00:35:48What is mine will always return to my hands.
00:35:53Lady Morgana!
00:35:54Commander Ashford!
00:35:58The Emperor begs your aid!
00:36:00The Empress door wager is dying.
00:36:02The Royal Physicians can do nothing for her. His Majesty demands you come at once!
00:36:06Please, my lady, you are her only hope.
00:36:12Lead the way.
00:36:15Useless fools!
00:36:16What good are you if she dies?
00:36:18Your Majesty!
00:36:20Lady Morgana has arrived!
00:36:25Morgana, thank the gods you have come.
00:36:27Please, you must help her.
00:36:29Mother is...
00:36:30Her flame has burned out. Her time is over.
00:36:34Prepare the crypt.
00:36:35Lies! That is a lie!
00:36:36Your Majesty.
00:36:40I can save the Empress.
00:36:44Morgana, if you can't save her, stop making pathetic excuses.
00:36:49I say, you have no real power. You're nothing but a fraudulent witch.
00:36:54Selina!
00:36:55This is a royal chamber, not your playground!
00:36:57Your Grace. I can heal her.
00:36:59On my life, Selina Frost.
00:37:02You should know.
00:37:03Cedric knows it well.
00:37:05My prophecies are never wrong.
00:37:07Care to make a wager, then?
00:37:09On what?
00:37:10If I win, I want the Emperor to decree my marriage to Cedric.
00:37:15And I want your head severed from your neck.
00:37:18Your Grace.
00:37:19Madness! This is absolute madness!
00:37:21Gods!
00:37:23Drag this mad woman away!
00:37:24I accept.
00:37:30Very well.
00:37:32Give it a try.
00:37:34If you truly cure my mother, I will grant your every wish.
00:37:45So you stole the Hartmann Schnarr?
00:37:47Cedric.
00:37:49I'll be a master healer, just like your sister.
00:37:52Then you'll finally see, I'm the only one for you.
00:37:57Forcing fate only brings ruin.
00:38:00If you insist on this path, you alone will choke on the ashes.
00:38:06Save your cheap parlour tricks.
00:38:09Healing the sick is God's work.
00:38:10There's no price for that.
00:38:13By the old blood, I command the vessel.
00:38:16Take the living spark.
00:38:18Feed the dying flame.
00:38:22Awaken.
00:38:26Wake up!
00:38:30Wake up!
00:38:35Wake up!
00:38:42What's happening?
00:38:43It burns!
00:38:45It burns!
00:38:46It burns!
00:38:47It burns!
00:38:48It burns!
00:38:48Oh God!
00:38:53Water!
00:38:54Please!
00:39:00Mother!
00:39:02Mother!
00:39:03Wake up!
00:39:06My face!
00:39:08No!
00:39:09How did this happen?
00:39:11Oh!
00:39:13You stole my magic.
00:39:15But you never asked.
00:39:17When the spell steals a living spark.
00:39:19Whose spark does it take?
00:39:23Move along.
00:39:25Get out.
00:39:26Move!
00:39:27Before I drag you out.
00:39:29Know who stands before you.
00:39:32My lord.
00:39:32I did not know.
00:39:34Maren.
00:39:35My lord, you're mistaken.
00:39:36She's not Maren.
00:39:38She's just an old crone.
00:39:40Nothing more.
00:39:41My lord!
00:39:41Get out.
00:39:42Yes, my lord.
00:39:48My lord, I'm nobody.
00:39:50Just an old crone.
00:39:52Nobody of importance.
00:39:54Just a servant.
00:39:55This is the inner sanctum.
00:39:57Only the bloodline.
00:39:58Only the Hartmann Shard bearer can come here.
00:40:03Let me see you.
00:40:12That scar.
00:40:15Where did this scar come from?
00:40:17Only Maren bore this mark.
00:40:21Maren?
00:40:24Why didn't you tell me?
00:40:29Whose life did you think you were spending?
00:40:32The Ashworth Empire isn't built on medicine.
00:40:34It's built on a parasite.
00:40:37It trades your years for theirs.
00:40:40A simple fever costs you a month.
00:40:42A fatal wound strips the youth right off your bones.
00:40:49Sick Empress was already dead.
00:40:51Her time was up.
00:40:53Give her every hour you have left.
00:40:55It won't buy her a single day.
00:40:58Then what about Maren?
00:41:00Explain Maren!
00:41:01She bore the Shard for thirty years.
00:41:03Pulled thousands from the grave.
00:41:05Then she should be dust!
00:41:07She should be a rotting corpse!
00:41:09Why is she flawless?
00:41:11Why not her?
00:41:12Look at me!
00:41:14It took everything!
00:41:15My skin!
00:41:17My life!
00:41:18Why just me?!
00:41:19You said she was perfect.
00:41:22Cedric, you believe she hid from you for ten years.
00:41:26It never crossed your mind that the woman she became was standing right in front of you.
00:41:32And you looked right through her.
00:41:35Stop.
00:41:36What does that mean?
00:41:38You're a commander.
00:41:39Open your eyes.
00:41:41Every year on your birthday, that old servant, the only one who still cooks for you.
00:41:46Who is she, Cedric?
00:41:51Lord Cedric, wait!
00:41:52You can't go in!
00:41:53My lord! She said no visitors!
00:41:55My lord!
00:42:02Maren.
00:42:04Gods.
00:42:05It's really you.
00:42:09Why?
00:42:10All these years, why didn't you tell me?
00:42:14Every time I used the Shard, it stole a year of my life.
00:42:18Burned away.
00:42:20Then one morning, I looked in the glass.
00:42:22White hair.
00:42:23Hands shaking like a crone.
00:42:26Maren! Let me in!
00:42:27My lord, no!
00:42:28Get off!
00:42:30I want my sister!
00:42:32Let me go!
00:42:33Maren!
00:42:34I couldn't let you see a monster.
00:42:37No. Stop it.
00:42:39Don't ever say that.
00:42:41Look at me.
00:42:42You are Maren.
00:42:43The bravest person I know.
00:42:45But I abandoned you.
00:42:47You gave me your entire life, and I was blind.
00:42:51I didn't see my own sister. I'm sorry.
00:42:55Oh, my brave little brother.
00:42:57It's all right now.
00:43:06Cedric. Tomorrow is your name day.
00:43:08I haven't made your broth yet.
00:43:11Maren, please. Just rest.
00:43:13You made it for me every year. My whole life.
00:43:17Tomorrow, I'll make it for you.
00:43:24This is my fault.
00:43:25I looked right at her and saw nothing.
00:43:28She hid her hands, traded her life away, and I just stood there.
00:43:32He used the Heartmen Shard to drain her, year by year, while I watched and called it nothing.
00:43:37She made a choice.
00:43:38The Shard needed a vessel.
00:43:40She offered herself.
00:43:42She healed them.
00:43:43She gave them time.
00:43:46She gave you time.
00:43:47That was all she ever wanted.
00:43:49I looked right past her for years.
00:43:53For stripping away every excuse I had.
00:43:56I have her back.
00:43:57Whatever it cost you.
00:43:59I swear on my blade I will repay that debt.
00:44:01She hasn't eaten in days.
00:44:03I made this for her.
00:44:04I don't know if she'll want it, but I need to give her something.
00:44:06I'm gonna take it to her now.
00:44:08Wait.
00:44:09Something wrong?
00:44:12It's nothing.
00:44:13Go to her.
00:44:14I won't be long.
00:44:25Maren!
00:44:26Maren, wake up!
00:44:28No, no, please!
00:44:29Maren!
00:44:31The scale always balances.
00:44:36Get away from me!
00:44:38Don't touch me!
00:44:40I want my sister!
00:44:42Cedric!
00:44:43Get away!
00:44:45Where is she?
00:44:50I want my sister!
00:44:52Cedric.
00:44:54I'm here.
00:44:55Look at me.
00:44:56Don't touch me!
00:44:58You old witch!
00:45:02She's dead, isn't she?
00:45:04She left me.
00:45:06Everyone always leaves.
00:45:08But I'm staying.
00:45:10To a legion.
00:45:12I'm not going anywhere.
00:45:15I'm here.
00:45:17Right here.
00:45:18I've got you.
00:45:23Lord Ashworth.
00:45:25She saved my family.
00:45:27She saved so many.
00:45:28We had to come.
00:45:30Everyone knew how much she meant to you, my lord.
00:45:32Her loss leaves a wound in all of us.
00:45:35She gave everything.
00:45:37Healed strangers.
00:45:39Never once asked for anything in return.
00:45:42Even when it broke her.
00:45:44Even when it cost her.
00:45:46Her life.
00:45:48I watched her disappear.
00:45:51Day by day.
00:45:53If the gods would take me instead,
00:45:55I'd go willingly.
00:45:57And yet you stood there.
00:45:58Every scar on her body.
00:46:00Every year taken from her.
00:46:02His hands did that.
00:46:04All of it.
00:46:07Every shriveled vein on Maren's hands.
00:46:09Every year carved from her face.
00:46:11He arranged all of it.
00:46:14Her life meant nothing to him.
00:46:16He only cared about the gold.
00:46:18The price her dying breath could buy.
00:46:20Oracle, please.
00:46:22Everyone here knows the Ashworth name.
00:46:25We heal the sick.
00:46:26We never ask for coin.
00:46:28We serve the people.
00:46:29You cannot just walk in here
00:46:31and spread lies about my family.
00:46:35If you took no coin,
00:46:37then tell me what you've been hiding in the dark.
00:46:40Every transaction.
00:46:42Every name.
00:46:43Every debt you buried.
00:46:51Every day.
00:46:52Every day.
00:46:57Every day.
00:46:58Every day.
00:46:59Every day.
00:46:59These are property deeds.
00:47:01Hundreds of them.
00:47:02The Ashhouse fled the Highlords dry.
00:47:04In secret.
00:47:05They traded healing for mansions.
00:47:07For land.
00:47:08We thought you were a saint, Uldric.
00:47:10You're nothing but a leech.
00:47:12A parasite.
00:47:13You stole my sister's life.
00:47:15You drained Maren dry to build your filthy empire
00:47:18and left her to rot in the dirt.
00:47:21She gave everything!
00:47:22And you ground her bones into your crown!
00:47:25That is not the whole of his sin.
00:47:27When Maren's face withered from what he forced on her,
00:47:30he turned away from her.
00:47:32He took a lover in secret.
00:47:35A secret mistress.
00:47:37A hidden life.
00:47:38There is no one!
00:47:40You are lying!
00:47:41The child you had with her has been living under this very roof.
00:47:44You call her your ward.
00:47:45You let her do as she pleases.
00:47:48Do you deny that Selene is your blood?
00:47:53You gave Selene full run of this house.
00:47:56Is she your bastard?
00:47:57Is that why you let her destroy my sister?
00:48:00Oracle.
00:48:02I have always bowed to your vision.
00:48:05You cannot lay this at my feet.
00:48:07I am innocent!
00:48:07If there was money missing from the patients,
00:48:10Maron did it herself.
00:48:12Plain greed!
00:48:14She used the sick to line her own pockets!
00:48:23Look out! Get back!
00:48:26That's gold!
00:48:28He hid it in the tablet!
00:48:32The heavens don't care for your lies.
00:48:35But I do.
00:48:36You built a dynasty on stolen breath.
00:48:39You are no heir to what I left here.
00:48:42You are a parasite.
00:48:46My sister is dead.
00:48:49She died a ruined servant under your roof.
00:48:52And you dare stand over her coffin and call her a thief!
00:48:56I will cut you apart right here!
00:48:58Cedric! Be reasonable!
00:49:00Look at what she had become!
00:49:01Who could look at that face and not be sickened?
00:49:04You are no blood of mine.
00:49:06You are nothing to me.
00:49:08Is this my fault?
00:49:09I would have taken the burden on myself.
00:49:11I swear it!
00:49:12But the healer's grace,
00:49:14it binds only to the women.
00:49:15It rejected me.
00:49:16It was never my choice.
00:49:18We kept her fed.
00:49:19Kept a roof over her head.
00:49:21She owed this family her service.
00:49:23It was her duty to plead for us!
00:49:26A lie.
00:49:27I forged the healer's grace.
00:49:29I wrote its laws.
00:49:30It does not choose by blood or gender.
00:49:33It chooses by the will to sacrifice.
00:49:35It rejected you because it looked inside your chest.
00:49:39And found nothing at all.
00:49:41You let a child wither in your place and called it fate.
00:49:45You said you wished to carry the burden.
00:49:47You wanted the ember's power for yourself.
00:49:50You wanted it all.
00:49:53Very well.
00:49:57Let us see how much of it you can bear.
00:50:05Very well.
00:50:06Good lord.
00:50:09Good lord.
00:50:26Yes.
00:50:28Oh my gosh...
00:50:31Go.
00:50:32No!
00:50:32Get off me!
00:50:33I am the lord of this!
00:50:35Go!
00:50:38Nooo!
00:50:39Nooo!
00:50:41Nooo!
00:50:51Every year he stole from Maren, they just ripped it back.
00:51:14Maren! Can you hear me? Look at me!
00:51:20You... you came back.
00:51:28Remember your oath.
00:51:42The Hartman Shard.
00:51:44It's time it returned to you.
00:51:46You took another piece of your power straight into yourself.
00:51:49Will you absorb this one too?
00:52:06Nooo!
00:52:21Please! Help us! Have mercy!
00:52:29You're breathing.
00:52:30I watched you stop.
00:52:32I thought you were gone.
00:52:33You're shaking.
00:52:34Your birthday is soon.
00:52:37I still owe you bread and broth.
00:52:40I'll make it myself.
00:52:41Just don't close your eyes again.
00:52:44Promise me that.
00:52:45Her face still carries what the years cost her.
00:52:48But the 30 years Aldric took from her have been stripped from his bones.
00:52:53They're hers now.
00:52:54Her hand is healed.
00:52:56The debt is paid.
00:52:57She will never serve in the dark again.
00:52:59She lives.
00:53:01The transaction is complete.
00:53:07Oracle. You didn't owe us this.
00:53:09I will carry this mercy until my last breath.
00:53:17You gave my sister back her life.
00:53:19My life is no longer my own.
00:53:22It belongs to you.
00:53:24Every breath I draw belongs to your cause.
00:53:26I am your shield.
00:53:27Your blade.
00:53:28Point me at your enemies.
00:53:30Wherever you walk, I walk with you.
00:53:33Until my blood runs cold.
00:53:38Talk to me.
00:53:40Did the exorcism drain you?
00:53:42Are you hurt?
00:53:43I am not hurt.
00:53:45When I pulled the Hartman Shard from your sister,
00:53:47I absorbed 30 years of her memories.
00:53:50Every single day she spent trapped in that house.
00:53:53There's an echo now.
00:53:54A pressure in my chest.
00:53:56You have a rule.
00:53:57You reclaim a piece of your power.
00:53:59You owe the bloodline one truth.
00:54:01One ember.
00:54:02One question.
00:54:04Maren gave her whole youth to keep me alive.
00:54:07She never got to ask her question.
00:54:10Maren.
00:54:11So I'll ask it for her.
00:54:13Look into your prophecy, Morgana.
00:54:15Did my sister's sacrifice mean anything?
00:54:17Tell me.
00:54:20Your sister asked what waits for you in the north.
00:54:22I didn't lie to her.
00:54:24So I'll tell you exactly what I saw.
00:54:26There is a line drawn across your fate.
00:54:29A terminal point.
00:54:31If you follow me to Ironwall.
00:54:33If you walk into Ravencrest at my side.
00:54:35You will stand before someone and bleed until there is nothing left.
00:54:39And you will die.
00:54:40That is the end of it.
00:54:42In front of who?
00:54:44Who do I bleed for?
00:54:45Me.
00:54:47Knowing this.
00:54:49Knowing that every step north is a step towards your own grave.
00:54:53And you still want to come with me.
00:54:55Forget it.
00:54:56It doesn't matter.
00:55:00You are ordered to stay behind.
00:55:02I walk into Ironwall alone.
00:55:04I don't need a shield.
00:55:06I swore an oath to you.
00:55:08I stand between you and whatever comes.
00:55:11I'm going.
00:55:17I told you how this ends.
00:55:19Are you not afraid?
00:55:22I lead the obsidian guard.
00:55:24I have walked into the dark more times than I can count.
00:55:28Every time they said I wouldn't walk out.
00:55:32Every time they said the odds were broken.
00:55:35And I am still standing here.
00:55:37Let them come.
00:55:38I will survive it.
00:55:39And I will walk you out of Ironwall myself.
00:55:44You must think I'm completely useless with a blade.
00:55:47I've been sickly since childhood.
00:55:49My sister-in-law handles the killing.
00:55:51She lets me read instead.
00:55:53I apologize for the gate.
00:55:55It's just...
00:55:55Lately, the moment the sun sets, the dead walk.
00:55:59Vesta fears the undead soldiers breaching the walls, slaughtering our people.
00:56:03Please forgive the locked gates, my lady.
00:56:05These undead outside your walls.
00:56:07What is their origin?
00:56:08We don't know.
00:56:09Not since my grandfather fell.
00:56:11They don't discern friend from foe.
00:56:13They just butcher.
00:56:15For six months we've been trapped here.
00:56:16Powerless.
00:56:17Thorn was injured?
00:56:19Yes.
00:56:20Ambushed by the dead weeks ago.
00:56:22He hasn't woken since.
00:56:25Take me to him.
00:56:27Of course.
00:56:28Finn!
00:56:35You dare test me, boy?
00:56:37Who authorized you to breach the protocol?
00:56:40Who gave you leave to welcome stray vagras into my fortress?
00:56:44Do Frost Stokes laws mean nothing to you?
00:56:47Vesper, wait.
00:56:48This is Lady Morgana.
00:56:49Grandfather foresaw this.
00:56:51He said a woman named Morgana would come for the Shard.
00:56:54We must show her absolute respect.
00:56:56The Patriarch is dying.
00:56:57He needs silence, not scavengers chasing fairy tales.
00:57:00Commander Vesper.
00:57:02Even the Emperor bows to Lady Morgana.
00:57:05I suggest you mind your tone, before I cut out your tongue.
00:57:10Damn your southern king!
00:57:12Here, we follow North laws.
00:57:14Your laws.
00:57:16Tell me, what does the North demand?
00:57:19You want to see him?
00:57:21Bleed for it.
00:57:23Best me in combat.
00:57:24Win, and you get your audience.
00:57:26And your precious Shard.
00:57:28Lose, and you crawl back south.
00:57:31Frostbite does not serve the weak.
00:57:33I'll gladly test your iron, Commander.
00:57:36Good!
00:57:37A real man!
00:57:38Bring me my steel!
00:57:49Hold the gate!
00:57:51I am Cedric Ashworth, Commander of the Obsidian Guards.
00:57:54Hold the gates!
00:57:55Guards!
00:57:56They're here!
00:57:57Fall back!
00:57:58Bar the gates!
00:58:02Where are they?
00:58:12Ring of steel!
00:58:14Protect Morgana!
00:58:22Ash to ash.
00:58:24Darkness breaks.
00:58:26Gone.
00:58:27Ash to ash.
00:58:36Darkness breaks.
00:58:38Gone.
00:58:45This malice.
00:58:47I know it.
00:58:48She broke them.
00:58:49Who goes there?
00:58:51Morgana.
00:58:53Lady Morgana!
00:58:55Forgive me.
00:58:56My grandfather speaks of you often.
00:58:59And you are?
00:59:00Finn Ravenkest, my lady.
00:59:02Grandson to Patriarch Thorn.
00:59:04Morgana.
00:59:06Smile for me.
00:59:07You look best when you smile.
00:59:09Foolish.
00:59:19Morgana.
00:59:20My sister-in-law is a monster on the battlefield.
00:59:23She holds the true bloodline.
00:59:25No one beats her.
00:59:27Is this it then?
00:59:28The day you foreseen I would die.
00:59:50And I wouldn't die.
00:59:56I'm sure I was afraid.
00:59:58I'm afraid to go away.
00:59:58I'm afraid to die.
00:59:59I'm afraid to die.
01:00:00I can't be afraid.
01:00:14Well fought. Your form is decent, but you fight like you fear death, always leaving room to retreat.
01:00:23Remember, a real enemy won't give you quarter. The only way to outlive them is to care less about dying.
01:00:30Mother! Mother!
01:01:00I saw you still breathing.
01:01:01If you had truly defied my vision, now that would be interesting.
01:01:10Two years ago at the Bloodwater Siege, Vesta's husband begged the Emperor for reinforcements.
01:01:16But the Royal Court was busy preparing the Emperor's Jubilee.
01:01:19The army never marched.
01:01:20Her husband died in the mud, left her and the child alone.
01:01:25Vesta has every reason to hate the crown.
01:01:27She struck a deal with the enemy.
01:01:30You are wrong.
01:01:33You said we were seeing the Patriarch.
01:01:35Why bring us to a crypt?
01:01:36Whatever you see in there, hold your nerve.
01:01:39My grandfather rests inside.
01:01:42Please, this way.
01:01:58What?
01:02:02My lady, the North is freezing.
01:02:04I brought you these heavy furs.
01:02:06Your concern is noted, boy.
01:02:09But she has no need for such common scraps.
01:02:12These are royal pelts from...
01:02:17Gods.
01:02:18What in the world is this?
01:02:21It's so soft.
01:02:22It doesn't even feel like wool.
01:02:23It feels like water.
01:02:25These deep red shapes here.
01:02:28What kind of flower is this?
01:02:29A rose.
01:02:30A rose.
01:02:31The sovereign of flowers.
01:02:32A rose.
01:02:34It's beautiful.
01:02:35I can't even imagine it.
01:02:37So this is what the South grows.
01:02:39Here in Frostspike, the winter never ends.
01:02:42The ground is iron.
01:02:43Nothing this fragile could ever survive the frost.
01:02:47If it pleases you, boy, help us reclaim the shard from your king.
01:02:51And this mantle is yours to keep.
01:02:55Truly?
01:02:55You swear on your honor?
01:02:58On my blood.
01:03:00Done.
01:03:01I'll get ready.
01:03:05You barter with the boy, because you are certain that Vesta will not surrender the shard.
01:03:14Is this?
01:03:16It is Thorn.
01:03:17Yes.
01:03:18Since the ambush six months ago, this crust began to form.
01:03:22It started around his wounds.
01:03:24Then it spread.
01:03:26Swallowing him whole.
01:03:27How many healers have you called?
01:03:29All of them.
01:03:30None could break it.
01:03:47This isn't a sickness, is it?
01:03:50It is his own madness.
01:03:52His madness?
01:03:53Thorn's natural life.
01:03:55Ended in the snow.
01:03:57Six months ago.
01:04:00But his fury anchored him here.
01:04:04He refuses to pass on.
01:04:06And the shard buried within him gave his wrath a physical form, spawning the dead that batter your gates.
01:04:13While this stone shell devours his remaining soul.
01:04:17The undead?
01:04:19They came from my grandfather's own mind?
01:04:23What kind of nightmare could be powerful enough to breed an entire army of corpses?
01:04:32What is happening?
01:04:38The dead are marching in daylight.
01:04:42I'll hold the line.
01:04:44Gather the men.
01:04:46My lady, I'm begging you.
01:04:47Save Frostbike.
01:04:48Take the shard back.
01:04:50It's right there in his chest.
01:04:51Please, just take it.
01:04:53I beg you.
01:04:55Yes.
01:04:56But the shard must be freely given.
01:04:59Even I cannot carve it out by force.
01:05:02I will pull Thorn back from the dark.
01:05:04Do not let them interrupt me.
01:05:06This pennant will hold the dead.
01:05:08Plant it beyond the gates.
01:05:09It will buy me time.
01:05:12If the ward fails, if the dead breach the line, or if you are overrun, do not die for me.
01:05:20Leave.
01:05:21My orders stand.
01:05:23You are my charge.
01:05:25I do not break the line.
01:05:28I do not break the line.
01:05:42I remember a boy.
01:05:44One who chased my shadow, always begging for stories.
01:05:49Now, reduced to stone.
01:05:55Veil lift.
01:05:57Flesh bind.
01:05:59Awaken.
01:06:02Thorn.
01:06:05Ashworth!
01:06:06Her magic broke!
01:06:07She's bleeding!
01:06:10She's bleeding!
01:06:20Shit!
01:06:32Finn, what are you doing?
01:06:34I'm done pretending, Commander.
01:06:37Did you honestly think Vesper was the one who crippled my grandfather?
01:06:40It was me, who left the gate wide open.
01:06:43So, you're the rat.
01:06:45They butchered your parents.
01:06:47Slaughtered your own brothers.
01:06:48They bled Frostbear dry.
01:06:50And you sold us out to the monsters?
01:06:54Sold us out?
01:06:55Monsters?
01:06:56Better than being the crown's lapdog.
01:06:58Why should we bleed for them?
01:07:00Our ancestors all followed Morgana.
01:07:02We were equals once.
01:07:03But because they got different shards, some get to rule the capital.
01:07:06Some get the gold.
01:07:07And what did the Raincreeps get?
01:07:08Three generations rotting in this frozen wasteland.
01:07:11Bleeding out in the ice.
01:07:13Just another name on a tombstone.
01:07:15Waiting to be wiped out.
01:07:17I won't let it end like this.
01:07:19I'm going to tear Frostfire down.
01:07:22Break the chains they put on us.
01:07:25I saw Morgana use this.
01:07:28It commands the dead.
01:07:30I hold the power now.
01:07:37Isn't that right?
01:07:40Let's try!
01:08:08Yes.
01:08:11I remember the vow.
01:08:13I gave you my word.
01:08:16To hold this fortress.
01:08:17To bleed for the innocent.
01:08:21But the dead are here.
01:08:24The wolves are at the gates.
01:08:26I...
01:08:27I dare not leave.
01:08:29Enough, Thorn.
01:08:30You have bled enough.
01:08:33Your bloodline.
01:08:36Your men.
01:08:37My moon.
01:08:39Yeah.
01:08:42Yeah.
01:08:53Let's do it.
01:08:54You have to do it.
01:08:56No!
01:08:57Yeah.
01:09:01Yeah.
01:09:01Yeah.
01:09:04It's so important.
01:09:05You have to do this no problem.
01:09:06Oh, yeah.
01:09:12Let the Obsession die.
01:09:16You must go.
01:09:18Whatever my sister commands,
01:09:22Thorn will always obey.
01:09:26But before I return the Shard,
01:09:30Morgana, may I ask you one question?
01:09:47To be continued...
01:10:17Oh.
01:10:22Right.
01:10:34Sis.
01:10:36You came.
01:10:39Sister, I...
01:10:40What is happening to me?
01:10:42Where are we?
01:10:43Your mortal life is ended.
01:10:45But your obsession anchored you here.
01:10:49Your soul was twisted by inner demons and the Shard.
01:10:53You are nothing but a lingering phantom now.
01:11:09What did you want to ask?
01:11:12All these years, alone in the dark.
01:11:20Were you alright, Morgana?
01:11:36You won't touch her.
01:11:40I was fine.
01:11:46That is good.
01:12:24The witch.
01:12:38So, this is the death you saw for me?
01:12:42You are never wrong.
01:12:46Morgana, it seems I won't be here to help you.
01:12:51Take back what is yours.
01:12:54What is yours?
01:13:07Oh, again.
01:13:10I make no grand claims.
01:13:12But I swear, I will help you take it all back.
01:13:34Monster.
01:13:34Monster, monster, you godless monster!
01:13:38Monster.
01:13:51This world is sick.
01:13:58Finn, why would you do this?
01:14:02My brother.
01:14:03He died because the crown...
01:14:06Because the crown never sent reinforcements.
01:14:10He bled out in the snow.
01:14:12And ever since then, I haven't seen you smile.
01:14:16Not truly.
01:14:18I was so close.
01:14:21Just a little more.
01:14:23And I could have taken you.
01:14:25Away from this prison.
01:14:29You foolish boy.
01:14:32Frostfire is now prison.
01:14:34Look at the people behind these walls.
01:14:37The thousands we pulled from the slaughter.
01:14:39The soldiers I trained with my own hands.
01:14:42Every block of black stone.
01:14:43Every frozen inch of the north.
01:14:45Holds my blood.
01:14:47Nothing has ever trapped me.
01:14:49This is the line I chose to hold.
01:14:52Frostfire is my home, Finn.
01:14:54And I will defend it.
01:14:56Until I break.
01:15:00I thought...
01:15:01I thought you hated the crown.
01:15:05I only wanted to break your chains.
01:15:12I do hate the crown.
01:15:14But I love the north.
01:15:16I love our people.
01:15:18I am holding this line for your brother.
01:15:20So the children here.
01:15:21So my own daughter can sleep without fear of the slaughter.
01:15:25So it was just me.
01:15:27I was the only one who couldn't let go.
01:15:32Take me away.
01:15:35I will.
01:15:36I'll take you south.
01:15:38I want to sleep beneath the roses.
01:15:47Sixty years ago.
01:15:49To buy this realm a breath of life.
01:15:52I gave my own flesh and soul to the forge.
01:15:55No attachments.
01:15:58No desires.
01:15:59I told you to run.
01:16:02But of course, fate demands its due.
01:16:14Would you still draw your blade for me?
01:16:17Knowing it will only lead to your grave.
01:16:19I am going.
01:16:21I've commanded the vanguard for years.
01:16:23I've faced death more times than I can count.
01:16:27But I have never lost.
01:16:29And I will not lose this time either.
01:16:47Why the frost spire?
01:16:49Why thorn ravencrest?
01:16:51My youngest student.
01:16:52Still breathes.
01:16:54I need to see him.
01:16:56And the ravencrest piece of the crown.
01:16:58What is it, exactly?
01:17:00A drop of my own blood.
01:17:02The undying spark.
01:17:03Your blood?
01:17:04No wonder your skin is like ice.
01:17:07Morgana.
01:17:08How did you lose your eyes?
01:17:10Sixty winters ago.
01:17:11The realm was drowning in its own blood.
01:17:15To buy them a dawn.
01:17:17I offered my own flesh and soul.
01:17:20I stripped everything away.
01:17:23Bound it to the obsidian.
01:17:24Twelve fragments.
01:17:26Given to twelve disciples.
01:17:28To save this world.
01:17:30Sixty years have passed.
01:17:31My students took that power.
01:17:34And forged twelve great bloodlines.
01:17:37And now, there is peace.
01:17:41Now I take back what is mine.
01:17:44Morgana, what else are you missing?
01:17:46You never change your boots.
01:17:48I've never seen you eat.
01:17:50Or sleep, for that matter.
01:17:52Your hair turned white.
01:17:53Silence.
01:17:55Silence.
01:17:56Silence.
01:17:56Silence.
01:18:04I will help you get it all back.
01:18:08Every last piece.
01:18:11You have my word.
01:18:14No matter what it takes.
01:18:16No matter the cost.
01:18:23That shard of the crown
01:18:25was torn from my own veins.
01:18:29A single drop
01:18:31of my heart's blood.
01:18:34I never thought
01:18:35you would waste
01:18:36such a priceless piece
01:18:37of yourself on me.
01:18:38I never thought
01:18:39I'd even be alive.
01:18:41My lady,
01:18:42you always said
01:18:43your prophecies are absolute.
01:18:44Never wrong.
01:18:45To give me the shard.
01:18:46To force me to live.
01:18:48Isn't this
01:18:48defying the gods themselves?
01:18:50Taking the heart back
01:18:52was a mistake.
01:18:58Morgana.
01:19:25My lady,
01:19:26forgive me.
01:19:28Assassins!
01:19:44This
01:19:44southern blood magic.
01:19:47They say
01:19:47one puppet butchers
01:19:48ten men
01:19:49and I tore them apart
01:19:50before they could even blink.
01:19:52I feel like
01:19:53I could rip through
01:19:53solid iron.
01:19:54You were bleeding to death.
01:19:56No medicine could save you.
01:19:58So I bound a fraction
01:19:59of my shard
01:20:00to your fading heart.
01:20:01Tethered your life to mine.
01:20:03With my power
01:20:04in your veins,
01:20:04no mortal man
01:20:05can stand against you.
01:20:07You could have run.
01:20:09You chose to stay.
01:20:12You accepted my gift.
01:20:14From now on,
01:20:16you are bound to my will.
01:20:17Are we clear?
01:20:21So I am no better
01:20:22than these husks?
01:20:23I'm just your puppet?
01:20:25Do not compare yourself
01:20:27to such pathetic trash.
01:20:29They are nothing like you.
01:20:33You.
01:20:35You are my masterpiece.
01:20:49Farewell.
01:20:51Be wary.
01:20:52Without the Primordial Crown's shard,
01:20:55the Horde will show no mercy.
01:20:57I know the risks,
01:20:59but I command this gate.
01:21:01Shard or no shard,
01:21:03the Ravencrasts will hold this line.
01:21:06To the last breath.
01:21:10The Horde is at our walls.
01:21:12I ride with the Vanguard.
01:21:14Godspeed.
01:21:19Hi-ya!
01:21:27Why didn't you tell her
01:21:28about the warding spikes you planted?
01:21:30The wards are nothing
01:21:32compared to the Primordial blood
01:21:34still boiling in their veins.
01:21:37They will survive.
01:21:41What's happening?
01:21:42Are you all right?
01:21:43I feel a disturbance.
01:21:44A forbading sensation.
01:21:46I have looked ahead.
01:21:48I wish I had not.
01:21:49The road before us is dark, Cedric.
01:22:08We must push forward.
01:22:09Wherever you go,
01:22:10I will follow.
01:22:12Where to next?
01:22:14South.
01:22:15To the Scarlet Lands.
01:22:17I want to meet the fool
01:22:18who thought they could kill me.
01:22:22My lady, please.
01:22:24Rest inside.
01:22:25I will bring it to you myself.
01:22:27It is exactly where you left it,
01:22:29my lady.
01:22:30Untouched.
01:22:31You give it up so easily.
01:22:33It was never mine to keep.
01:22:35You know what it built.
01:22:36Your entire dynasty.
01:22:39Hundreds' years of power.
01:22:41Titles.
01:22:41The Crown's favor.
01:22:43The gift of seeing
01:22:44into men's hearts.
01:22:45Without it,
01:22:46you are nothing but a blind man
01:22:48stumbling in the dark.
01:22:49The blood covenant
01:22:50my grandfather sworn
01:22:51binds every generation
01:22:53after him.
01:22:54House Alistair
01:22:55owes you everything it has
01:22:56and everything it is.
01:22:58You have my word.
01:23:00I will honor the pact.
01:23:01Willingly.
01:23:04The old man bred well.
01:23:06An obedient heir.
01:23:14Since when does my father
01:23:15kneel for peasants?
01:23:18The Iris Ember,
01:23:20my lady.
01:23:21A covenant is a trade.
01:23:23I take back what is mine.
01:23:25And I leave you one truth.
01:23:28The old laws demand it.
01:23:30Ask your question.
01:23:32My lady.
01:23:34In a few days,
01:23:35Isabella weds
01:23:36the Crown Prince.
01:23:37I need to...
01:23:39I need to know
01:23:40what waits for her.
01:23:41You want to know
01:23:42if she lives.
01:23:44Without my Ember
01:23:45watching over her.
01:23:46What her crown will cost.
01:23:48Yes.
01:23:49Please,
01:23:50tell me her fate.
01:23:52Bring the girl to me.
01:23:55Mother,
01:23:55the night before
01:23:56my royal wedding,
01:23:57some blind woman
01:23:59in funeral rags
01:24:00walks into our home.
01:24:02And father knelt for her.
01:24:04Tell me the truth.
01:24:05Is she one of his
01:24:07lowborn mistresses?
01:24:08Crawling here
01:24:09to beg for coins?
01:24:11If we allow that woman
01:24:12to stand in our halls
01:24:14without putting her
01:24:15on her knees,
01:24:16she will believe
01:24:17she belongs here.
01:24:20And we cannot have that.
01:24:22Then let's remind her
01:24:23how this house
01:24:24treats beggars.
