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.
00:08:38Ply Jo
00:08:40Here is a king.
00:08:41A enough.
00:08:41A enough.
00:08:45Ley the fly.
00:08:48Dolphin
00:08:50Fierce.
00:08:53Close your shoes like a dude.
00:08:58Gilles.
00:08:59In fact it is scary.
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
00:09:26He 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
00:09:40The hour is here
00:09:42Step forward, future Empress
00:09:51Isabella, my love, finally
00:09:58No, god
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, double guards
00:10:22Kill anything that moves
00:10:24Nothing touched 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
00:10:40Give 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
00:10:53The question is
00:10:55Can you afford it?
00:10:58There it is
00:10:59The classic shakedown
00:11:01We always get here
00:11:02Just a beggar
00:11:02I could watch the Duke's daughter
00:11:04In 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
00:11:29Cut 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
00:11:52That 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
00:12:13You owe a deadly debt
00:12:14Madness
00:12:15I serve the crown
00:12:16I don't fear witches
00:12:21Still 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
00:12:30Hidden 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
00:12:40You 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
00:13:01How?
00:13:02She was right there
00:13:04The prophecy is fulfilled
00:13:06Her blood is spilled
00:13:08You 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
00:13:16Who 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
00:13:32Just tell me the damn truth
00:13:34How did you reach inside
00:13:36A moving, heavily guarded carriage
00:13:38And take her head
00:13:39Without a single sound?
00:13:41You mapped out her execution beforehand
00:13:44Fine
00:13:47Say you didn't swing the blade yourself
00:13:50But you orchestrated this
00:13:54If that comforts you
00:13:55You 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
00:14:17You do not question
00:14:18When I point
00:14:20You 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
00:14:29Then you have my trust
00:14:32Don't make a vow
00:14:33You can't keep, commander
00:14:34You 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
00:14:49She fades
00:14:53Her soul is bleeding out
00:14:57It's done
00:14:58What now?
00:15:00Open the doors
00:15:02Bring them all
00:15:04The grieving father
00:15:05The 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!
00:15:22Hold her back
00:15:23Don't let her touch the body
00:15:24Let me go
00:15:25That's my daughter
00:15:26Why is she here?
00:15:28Why is that blind woman in the judge's seat?
00:15:31Commander Ashworth
00:15:33She killed her
00:15:34She cursed my daughter
00:15:36And you let her sit there
00:15:37His royal highness
00:15:38Prince Kale
00:15:41Isabella!
00:15:41Let me through!
00:15:43Isabella
00:15:44No
00:15:44Look what they did to you
00:15:46My beautiful girl
00:15:48The audience is here
00:15:50Let the performance end
00:15:53Flesh to thread
00:15:55Bone to command
00:15:58Rise
00:16:05You demanded proof, Commander
00:16:07Behold the truth
00:16:09You wove the crimson soul thread yourself
00:16:13The bond is forged
00:16:16Ask her
00:16:19Isabella Alastom
00:16:20Is your killer here?
00:16:46Keep that thing away
00:16:48She's bewitched
00:16:55The crown is ours, father
00:17:12Edmund Alaston
00:17:18Now confess
00:17:24Edmund Alaston
00:17:26Do you confess?
00:17:28I confess to nothing
00:17:29You sick witch
00:17:31You killed her
00:17:33You puppeted her corpse to frame us
00:17:36He took you in
00:17:38You repay us with blood
00:17:40This is madness
00:17:42A father doesn't slaughter his own blood
00:17:45Isabella was my pride
00:17:48Why would I destroy my own future?
00:17:51See the truth!
00:17:52His own blood
00:17:53That's true
00:17:56But what if that girl
00:17:57Was never your blood at all?
00:18:01Eleanor
00:18:01Why did the emperor betroth Isabella to Prince Kale?
00:18:05It was destiny
00:18:07The emperor declared it
00:18:08They were born the exact same hour
00:18:12Blessed by the gods
00:18:15Wait
00:18:17It's impossible
00:18:18Edmund tell me you didn't
00:18:21I had to secure our bloodline
00:18:28Give me the child I must see
00:18:30Tell the truth
00:18:31Is it a boy?
00:18:33A girl, my lady
00:18:35A girl?
00:18:36No!
00:18:37You're lying!
00:18:38A daughter
00:18:39Just as I said
00:18:40Why me?
00:18:45The consort is waiting
00:18:47If it's a boy
00:18:48I'm ruined!
00:18:50Breathe, my lady
00:18:51Panic is a luxury we can't afford
00:18:53Duke Alistair has already arranged a solution
00:18:55Bring the bundle inside
00:18:57Now
00:19:01Look closely
00:19:03Pure Alistair blood
00:19:04A flawless son
00:19:06Yours, if you dare
00:19:10A son!
00:19:11From now on you are mine
00:19:13The true heir of this house
00:19:17My son
00:19:18My heir
00:19:39You're telling this court
00:19:41I'm Duke Alistair's son
00:19:43No
00:19:44No
00:19:45No, no
00:19:46I am the crown prince
00:19:51It can't be
00:19:52How could my husband do such a thing?
00:19:55This is treason!
00:19:57What could he possibly want to risk all our lives?
00:20:00What did he want?
00:20:01Your son
00:20:02Sitting on the throne
00:20:04That's what he wanted
00:20:08You need proof to make such claims
00:20:10This dark sorcery proves absolutely nothing
00:20:13Lord Alistair
00:20:14If I had to guess
00:20:16The moment the emperor degreed Isabella's marriage
00:20:19You realized if she entered the royal court
00:20:21The crown would eventually discover her secret
00:20:23So you hired a pack of mercenaries
00:20:25To stage a bandit raid on the carriage
00:20:27But Morgana's warning put my guard on alert
00:20:29You feared with extra men
00:20:31Your hired killers wouldn't be able to finish the job
00:20:33So you killed your own daughter before she left
00:20:35And as for your loyal servants
00:20:37They break much faster than paid assassins
00:20:39Commander!
00:20:40Commander Ashworth!
00:20:41Lord Alistair's personal guard
00:20:42They've confessed to everything
00:20:43The signed confessions
00:20:45They admit the duke
00:20:46Ordered them to silence Isabella
00:20:48Before she even left
00:20:53My entire life of scheming
00:20:57All crushed by fate's cruel hand
00:21:01The eye you granted us
00:21:03Gave House Alistair
00:21:04Absolute power
00:21:05Unmatched wealth
00:21:07Unmatched glory
00:21:09But the emperor still stood above me
00:21:11Until that day
00:21:13When I saw
00:21:16I saw
00:21:22I saw
00:21:23The truth
00:21:24If my son took the cradle
00:21:27He'd rule the world
00:21:30But the vision didn't end there
00:21:31I saw the flaw that would kill us
00:21:34The decree
00:21:35The royal wedding
00:21:37If Isabella entered that palace
00:21:39He would see my daughter
00:21:43He'd see the exact face of the young empress
00:21:47He's not blind
00:21:49He'd know exactly what I did
00:21:51I had no choice
00:21:53You must see that
00:21:55I had to cut the rot out
00:21:57I had to protect my family
00:22:00My son will be emperor
00:22:02I had to
00:22:07Morgana I confess it all
00:22:09Punish me alone
00:22:10I beg you look at me
00:22:12Remember my father's loyalty
00:22:15Spare my wife
00:22:17He's lying
00:22:18We knew nothing

00:38:42what's happening
00:38:43It burns! It burns! It burns! It burns! Oh, God!
00:38:53Water! Please!
00:39:00Mother! Mother! Wake up!
00:39:06My face! No!
00:39:09How did this happen?
00:39:13You stole my magic, but you never asked, when the spell steals a living spark, whose spark does it take?
00:39:23Move along. Get out. Move before I drag you out!
00:39:29Know who stands before you.
00:39:32My lord, I did not know.
00:39:34Maren.
00:39:35My lord, you're mistaken. She's not Maren. She's just an old crone. Nothing more. My lord!
00:39:41Get out.
00:39:42Y-yes, my lord!
00:39:48My lord, I'm nobody. Just an old crone. Nobody of importance. Just a servant.
00:39:55This is the inner sanctum. Only the bloodline, only the Hartman's 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. It's built on a parasite.
00:40:37It trades your years for theirs.
00:40:40A simple fever costs you a month.
00:40:43A fatal wound strips the youth right off your bones.
00:40:49Sick Empress was already dead. Her time was up.
00:40:53Give her every hour you have left. It won't buy her a single day.
00:40:58Then what about Maren? Explain Maren!
00:41:01She bore the Shard for thirty years. Pulled thousands from the grave.
00:41:05Then she should be dust! She should be a rotting corpse!
00:41:09Why is she flawless? Why not her?
00:41:13Look at me. It took everything.
00:41:15My skin, my 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. What does that mean?
00:41:38You're a commander. Open 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!
00:42:29I want my sister!
00:42:32Let me go!
00:42:33Maren!
00:42:34I couldn't let you see a monster.
00:42:37No.
00:42:38Stop 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.
00:42:50And I was blind.
00:42:51I didn't see my own sister.
00:42:53I'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.
00:43:12Just rest.
00:43:13You made it for me every year.
00:43:15My 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 costs you, I 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 going to take it to her now.
00:44:08Wait.
00:44:09Something wrong?
00:44:12It's nothing.
00:44:13Go to her.
00:44:15I 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!
00:44:43Get away!
00:44:45Where is she?
00:44:49I want my sister!
00:44:52Cedric, I'm here.
00:44:55Look at me.
00:44:56Don't touch me, you 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.
00:45:26She 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.
00:45:56And 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.
00:46:06Every shriveled vein on Maren's hands.
00:46:09Every year carved from her face.
00:46:11He arranged all of it.
00:46:13Her 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 and 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.
00:47:00These are property deeds.
00:47:01Hundreds of them.
00:47:02The Ashworth fled the High Lord's dry in secret.
00:47:05They traded healing for mansions.
00:47:07For land.
00:47:08We thought you were a saint, Aldric.
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
00:47:42has been living under this very roof.
00:47:44You call her your ward.
00:47:46You 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 if there was money
00:48:09missing from the patients.
00:48:11Maren did it herself.
00:48:12Plain greed.
00:48:14She used the sick to line her own pockets.
00:48:23Look out!
00:48:24Get 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
00:48:54and 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
00:49:02and 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
00:49:37because it looked inside your chest
00:49:39and found nothing at all.
00:49:40You let a child wither in your place
00:49:43and 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
00:49:58how much of it you can bear.
00:50:05Very well.
00:50:31No!
00:50:32Get off me!
00:50:33I am the lord of this!
00:50:35I am the lord of this!
00:50:37No!
00:50:39No!
00:50:41No!
00:50:41No!
00:50:52Every year he stole from Maren
00:50:54they just ripped it back.
00:51:15Maren! Can you hear me? Look at me!
00:51:20You... you came back...
00:51:28Remember your oath.
00:51:43The Hartman Shard. It's time it returned to you. You took another piece of your power straight
00:51:48into yourself. Will you absorb this one too?
00:52:22Please! Help us! Have mercy!
00:52:28You're breathing. I watched you stop. I thought you were gone.
00:52:33You're shaking. Your birthday is soon. I still owe you bread and broth.
00:52:40I'll make it myself. Just don't close your eyes again. Promise me that.
00:52:45Her face still carries what the years cost her. But the 30 years Aldric took from her
00:52:51have been stripped from his bones. They're hers now. Her hand is healed. The debt is paid.
00:52:57She will never serve in the dark again. She lives. The transaction is complete.
00:53:07Oracle. You didn't owe us this. I will carry this mercy until my last breath.
00:53:17You gave my sister back her life. My life is no longer my own. It belongs to you. Every breath
00:53:24I draw belongs to your cause. I am your shield. Your blade. Point me at your enemies. Wherever
00:53:30you walk, I walk with you. Until my blood runs cold.
00:53:38Talk to me. Did the exorcism drain you? Are you hurt?
00:53:43I am not hurt. When I pulled the heartman's shard from your sister, I absorbed 30 years of
00:53:48her memories. Every single day she spent trapped in that house. There's an echo now. A pressure
00:53:55in my chest. You have a rule. You reclaim a piece of your power, you owe the bloodline one truth.
00:54:00One ember. One question. Maren gave her whole youth to keep me alive. She never got to ask her question.
00:54:11Maren...
00:54:11So I'll ask it for her. Look into your prophecy, Morgana. Did my sister's sacrifice mean anything? Tell me.
00:54:20Your sister asked what waits for you in the north. I didn't lie to her. So I'll tell you exactly
00:54:25what I saw. There is a line drawn across your fate. A terminal point. If you follow me to Ironwall,
00:54:32if you walk into Ravencrest at my side, you will stand before someone and bleed until there is nothing left.
00:54:39And you will die. That is the end of it. In front of who? Who do I bleed for? Me.
00:54:47Knowing this. Knowing that every step north is a step towards your own grave. And you still want to come
00:54:54with me.
00:54:55Forget it. Forget it. It doesn't matter. You are ordered to stay behind. I walk into Ironwall alone. I don't
00:55:04need a shield.
00:55:06I swore an oath to you. I stand between you and whatever comes. I'm going.
00:55:17I told you how this ends. Are you not afraid?
00:55:22I lead the Obsidian Guard. I have walked into the dark more times than I can count. Every time they
00:55:29said I wouldn't walk out. Every time they said the odds were broken. And I am still standing here. Let
00:55:37them come. I will survive it. And I will walk you out of Ironwall myself.
00:55:44You must think I'm completely useless with a blade. I've been sickly since childhood. My sister-in-law handles the
00:55:50killing. She lets me read instead. I apologize for the gate. It's just lately. The moment the sun sets, the
00:55:57dead walk. Vesta fears the undead soldiers breaching the walls, slaughtering our people. Please forgive the locked gates, my lady.
00:56:05These undead outside your walls. What is their origin? We don't know. Not since my grandfather fell. They don't discern
00:56:12friend from foe. They just butcher. For six months we've been trapped here. Powerless.
00:56:17Thorn was injured? Yes. Ambushed by the dead weeks ago. He hasn't woken since. Take me to him. Of course.
00:56:28Thin!
00:56:35You dare test me, boy? Who authorized you to breach the protocol? Who gave you leave to welcome stray vagras
00:56:43into my fortress? Do Frost Stokes' laws mean nothing to you?
00:56:46Vesper, wait. This is Lady Morgana. Grandfather foresaw this. He said a woman named Morgana would come for the Shard.
00:56:54We must show her absolute respect.
00:56:56The Patriarch is dying. He needs silence, not scavengers chasing fairy tales.
00:57:00Commander Vesper. Even the Emperor bows to Lady Morgana. I suggest you mind your tone before I cut out your
00:57:09tongue.
00:57:09Damn your southern king. Here, we follow north laws. Your laws. Tell me. What does the north demand? You want
00:57:20to see him? Bleed for it. Best me in combat. Win, and you get your audience. And your precious shard.
00:57:28Lose, and you crawl back south. Frostbite does not serve the weak.
00:57:33I'll gladly test your iron, commander.
00:57:35Good. A real man. Bring me my steel.
00:57:49Hold the gate. I am Cedric Ashworth, commander of the Obsidian Guards. Hold the gates.
00:57:55God. They're here. Fall back. Bar the gates.
00:58:03Go on, hey.
00:58:17I'm Cedric Ashworth, commander of the Shard.
00:58:45This malice. I know it.
00:58:48She broke them. Who goes there?
00:58:51Morgana.
00:58:53Lady Morgana!
00:58:55Forgive me. My grandfather speaks of you often.
00:58:59And you are?
00:59:00Finn Ravenkest, my lady. Grandson 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. My sister-in-law is a monster on the battlefield.
00:59:23She holds the true bloodline. No one beats her.
00:59:27Is this it, then?
00:59:28The day you foreseen I would die.
00:59:31The day you foreseen I would die.
00:59:50He's hurt.
00:59:51He will not die.
00:59:54He will not die.
00:59:56Playing with time!
01:00:14Well fought.
01:00:15Your form is decent.
01:00:18But you fight like you fear death.
01:00:20Always leaving room to retreat.
01:00:22Remember, a real enemy won't give you quarter.
01:00:26The only way to outlive them is to care less about dying.
01:00:30Mother!
01:00:32Mother!
01:00:32There's my little bird.
01:00:38You promised me we'd practice archery today.
01:00:41I know.
01:00:42Go grab your bow.
01:00:43I'm coming.
01:00:44Okay.
01:00:48When you have something you can't leave behind, then teach me to fight.
01:00:53Tomorrow I will grant you an audience for the Patriarch.
01:00:58You see, I am still breathing.
01:01:01If you had truly defied my vision.
01:01:04Now 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?
01:02:30A rose.
01:02:31The sovereign of flowers.
01:02:33A rose.
01:02:34It's beautiful.
01:02:35I can't even imagine it.
01:02:37So this is what the South grows.
01:02:40Here 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.
01:03:51His madness?
01:03:53Thorn's natural life ended in the snow six 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?
01:04:33What is happening?
01:04:38The dead are marching in daylight.
01:04:42I'll hold the line.
01:04:44Gather the men.
01:04:45My 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, please, just take it.
01:04:53I beg you.
01:04:55Yes, but 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.
01:05:13If the dead breach the line.
01:05:15Or if you are overrun.
01:05:18Do not die for me.
01:05:20Leave.
01:05:21My orders stand.
01:05:23You are my charge.
01:05:26I do not break the line.
01:05:42I remember a boy.
01:05:44One who chased my shadow, always begging for stories.
01:05:48Now, 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.
01:06:19Shit.
01:06:32Finn, what are you doing?
01:06:35I'm done pretending, Commander.
01:06:37Did you honestly think Vesper was the one who crippled my grandfather?
01:06:40It was me.
01:06:41Who left the gate wide open.
01:06:43So.
01:06:44You'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.
01:07:26I saw Morgana use this.
01:07:28It commands the dead.
01:07:30I hold the power now.
01:07:36Isn't that right?RAAAA!
01:07:42RUines!
01:08:10Yes, I remember the vow.
01:08:13I gave you my word to hold this fortress, to bleed for the innocent, but the dead are here, the
01:08:24wolves are at the gates. I dare not leave.
01:08:29Enough, Thorn. You have bled enough. Your bloodline, your men.
01:08:43I have bled enough.
01:08:52I have bled enough.
01:09:11Let the obsession die. You must go.
01:09:18Whatever my sister commands, Thorn will always obey.
01:09:26But before I return the Shard, Morgana, may I ask you one question?
01:09:33I have bled enough.
01:09:47I have bled enough.
01:09:56I have bled enough.
01:10:17Thorn.
01:10:19Thorn.
01:10:22Thorn.
01:10:25Thorn.
01:10:30Thorn.
01:10:41Thorn.
01:10:42Where are we?
01:10:43Your mortal life is ended, but your obsession anchored you here.
01:10:49Your soul was twisted by inner demons and the Shard.
01:10:54You are nothing but a lingering phantom now.
01:11:09What did you want to ask?
01:11:12All these years, alone in the dark, were you alright, Morgana?
01:11:36You won't touch her!
01:11:39I was fine.
01:11:46That is good.
01:11:50No!
01:12:01No!
01:12:05No!
01:12:12No!
01:12:17No!
01:12:18No!
01:12:21No!
01:12:25No!
01:12:26No!
01:12:28No!
01:12:28No!
01:12:33No!
01:12:42No!
01:13:02No!
01:13:03No!
01:13:05No!
01:13:05No!
01:13:07No!
01:13:08No!
01:13:09No!
01:13:15No!
01:13:15No!
01:13:15No!
01:13:21No!
01:13:24No!
01:13:25No!
01:13:26No!
01:13:27No!
01:13:30No!
01:13:32No!
01:13:33No!
01:13:35Monster!
01:13:36You, godless monster!
01:13:38Monster!
01:13:50this world is sick
01:14:01my brother he died because the crown
01:14:05because the crown never sent reinforcement
01:14:10he bled out in the snow and ever since
01:14:13then I haven't seen you smile not truly
01:14:18I was so close just a little more and I
01:14:23could have taken you away from this
01:14:26prison you foolish boy frostfire is no
01:14:33prison look at the people behind these
01:14:36walls the thousands we pulled from the
01:14:38slaughter the soldiers I trained with my
01:14:41own hands every block of blackstone every
01:14:44frozen inch of the north holds my blood
01:14:47nothing has ever trapped me this is the
01:14:50line I chose to hold
01:14:52frostbear is my home thing and I will
01:14:55defend it until I break
01:15:00I thought... I 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. I love our people.
01:15:18I am holding this line for your brother.
01:15:20So the children hear.
01:15:22So my own daughter can sleep without fear of the slaughter.
01:15:25So it was just me. I was the only one who couldn't let go.
01:15:32Take me away.
01:15:35I will. I'll take you south.
01:15:38I want to sleep beneath the roses.
01:15:47Sixty years ago, to buy this realm a breath of life,
01:15:52I gave my own flesh and soul to the forge.
01:15:56No 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.
01:16:24I'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. Still 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. The Undying Spark.
01:17:03Your blood?
01:17:04No wonder your skin is like ice.
01:17:07Morgana, how 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.
01:17:32My 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.
01:17:45What 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.
01:18:03Morgana.
01:18:05I 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 what it takes.
01:18:17No matter what it takes.
01:18:17No matter the cost.
01:18:23That shard of the crown was torn from my own veins.
01:18:29A single drop of my heart's blood.
01:18:34I never thought you would waste such a priceless piece of yourself on me.
01:18:38I never thought I'd even be alive.
01:18:41My lady, you always said your 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 defying the gods themselves?
01:18:50Taking the heart back was a mistake.
01:18:59Morgana.
01:19:25My lady, forgive me.
01:19:28Assassins!
