Short filmTranscript
00:00:01Get those banners hoisted. Straighten the garlands.
00:00:04Bring 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?
00:00:22Have you any idea what day it is?
00:00:24You're blocking Lady Isabella's path on her wedding day.
00:00:27Bring me Alistair.
00:00:29You dare speak his name? You're not fit to breathe the same air.
00:00:34I am Morgana. I have come to collect what is mine.
00:00:43I'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.
00:00:57My 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 Alistair 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.
00:01:30My lady. Please.
00:01:48Mind the steps, my lady.
00:01:53The 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.
00:02:56A blind witch.
00:02:58This shall prove too easy.
00:03:09But...
00:03:10I told them to boil it!
00:03:12Dorish vintage.
00:03:14Pity it turned to vinegar.
00:03:16Masked with...
00:03:17Heavy spice.
00:03:19Poured 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.
00:03:29How could she know?
00:03:31You insolent wretch!
00:03:33Keep your filthy mouth!
00:03:38By his wits alone did Lord Alistair survive.
00:03:42Isabella, your gown!
00:03:43A tragedy.
00:03:44His 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 by royal decree!
00:03:56You will kneel!
00:03:57And 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.
00:04:12Gods!
00:04:13Take her!
00:04:18And break her legs.
00:04:19Do it!
00:04:24Seize her!
00:04:26Now!
00:04:27Go!
00:04:41Stop!
00:04:43Stop this at once!
00:04:45Fools!
00:04:50Morgana, they know nothing
00:04:52They acted out of turn
00:04:54Spare them
00:04:55I beg of you
00:04:57Alistair, father
00:04:59Both of you, you blind arrogant fools
00:05:02She chose restraint
00:05:04Or you would already be ashes upon this floor
00:05:07On 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
00:05:18I will rule this realm
00:05:22I am a queen
00:05:24She is just a
00:05:25A pity
00:05:32No crown rests on a dead woman
00:05:37You will die before the wedding bells ring
00:05:57You
00:05:58Get out of my house
00:06:00Silence your tongue
00:06:03Morgana, please
00:06:04How do we stop this?
00:06:06Call off the royal wedding
00:06:09Break betrothal
00:06:12Or
00:06:13She dies
00:06:23The royal escort
00:06:24Led by the obsidian guard
00:06:26Commander Cedric himself
00:06:28The reaper of the realm
00:06:36The prophecy is written
00:06:42And the king's edict
00:06:53Commander Cedric
00:06:54You heard the prophecy
00:06:55If Isabella rides to the palace today
00:06:58It will be her funeral
00:07:00The crown commands this union, Lord Alistair
00:07:04My escort is already at your gates
00:07:07You dare defy the throne over cheap politrix
00:07:11And break the royal contract?
00:07:13Unless
00:07:15You doubt my ability to keep her breathing
00:07:20No, commander
00:07:21Your blade is legendary
00:07:22Your tactics flawless
00:07:24The king trusts no other
00:07:25She is safe with you
00:07:28But
00:07:29Morgana has seen it
00:07:30She is our only hope
00:07:33Alistair
00:07:34The king's patience is not infinite
00:07:36Do not humiliate us for a blind witch
00:07:39The crown's wrath will burn this castle to the ground
00:07:42I 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
00:07:50I will fetch my veil
00:07:57Isabella
00:07:59Let her go
00:08:00The hour is set
00:08:02My debt shall be claimed
00:08:03When the blood runs dry
00:08:11Play the prophet
00:08:13Watch her cross those gates alive
00:08:18I'll feel the blood
00:08:22Bring the oracle a horse
00:08:47I'll feel the blood
00:08:47I'll feel the blood
00:08:47I'll feel the blood
00:08:47I'll feel the blood
00:08:48I'll feel the blood
00:08:49I'll feel the blood
00:08:49I'll feel the blood
00:08:50I'll feel the blood
00:08:50I'll feel the blood
00:08:51I'll feel the blood
00:08:51I'll feel the blood
00:08:52I'll feel the blood
00:08:52I'll feel the blood
00:08:53I'll feel the blood
00:08:53I'll feel the blood
00:08:53I'll feel the blood
00:08:53I'll feel the blood
00:08:53I'll feel the blood
00:08:57I'll feel the blood
00:09:00I'll feel the blood
00:09:10Take them to the Iron Court
00:09:13I want a name
00:09:14Yes, Commander
00:09:22Thank the gods Cedric was here
00:09:25We're safe
00:09:26He earned his coin
00:09:30You 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
00:10:08The crown is mine
00:10:11Our legacy begins
00:10:14My daughter
00:10:16Our ultimate masterpiece
00:10:20Lock it down, double guards
00:10:22Kill anything that moves
00:10:23Nothing touched that carriage
00:10:25Are 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
00:10:41How 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
00:10:51I see the blood
00:10:53The question is
00:10:55Can you afford it?
00:10:58There it is
00:10:59The classic shakedown
00:11:00We always get here
00:11:01Just 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
00:11:12Take me
00:11:14I'll prove you wrong
00:11:19I see the threads
00:11:22Every drop of blood
00:11:23Before it falls
00:11:24The end is written
00:11:27You're just walking the path blind
00:11:29Cut the riddles
00:11:30You're in my cell now
00:11:34If 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
00:12:03Let's put that to the test
00:12:06Steel cannot touch me
00:12:11By drawing it on me
00:12:12You owe a deadly debt
00:12:14Madness
00:12:15I serve the crown
00:12:16I don't fear witches
00:12:20Still believe in hard facts, Commander?
00:12:24Commander!
00:12:25We have a situation
00:12:27The prisoners from the ambush, sir
00:12:28They took poison
00:12:30Hidden in their teeth
00:12:31They'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
00:12:38They'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
00:12:59She 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!
00:13:17Who else could bypass those locks?
00:13:19Enough!
00:13:20Seal the gates
00:13:21Nobody leaves this yort yard
00:13:22You'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
00:14:07Name it
00:14:08Whatever closes this investigation
00:14:11I want your absolute obedience
00:14:15When I speak
00:14:16You do not question
00:14:18When I point
00:14:19You do not hesitate
00:14:21My loyalty is to the crown
00:14:23I don't give blind trust
00:14:24I have the killer
00:14:26If 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
00:14:35I won't break it
00:14:41Take this
00:14:42Sew her head back on
00:14:45You want me to mutilate a royal corpse?
00:14:47Every second you wait
00:14:48She fades
00:14:53Her soul is bleeding out
00:14:56It's done
00:14:58What now?
00:15:00Open the doors
00:15:02Bring them all
00:15:03The 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
00:15:22Hold 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
00:15:32She killed her
00:15:34She cursed my daughter
00:15:35And you let her sit there
00:15:37His royal highness
00:15:38Prince Kale
00:15:40Isabella
00:15:41Let me through
00:15:43Isabella
00:15:43No
00:15:44Look what they did to you
00:15:46My beautiful girl
00:15:47The audience is here
00:15:49Let the performance end
00:15:53Flesh to thread
00:15:55Bone to command
00:15:57Rise
00:16:04You 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
00:16:20Isabella
00:16:20Alistin
00:16:20Is your killer here
00:16:23Isabella
00:16:26Isabella
00:16:27Isabella
00:16:27Isabella
00:16:27Isabella
00:16:31Isabella
00:16:47Isabella
00:16:47Get away! She's bewitched!
00:16:55The crown is ours, father.
00:17:12Edmund Alliston.
00:17:18Now, confess.
00:17:24Edmund Alliston.
00:17:26Do you confess?
00:17:27I confess to nothing!
00:17:30You 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, that's true.
00:17:55But what if that girl was never your blood at all?
00:18:00Eleanor.
00:18:02Why did the Emperor betroth Isabella to Prince Kael?
00:18:05It was destiny!
00:18:07The Emperor declared it.
00:18:09They were born the exact same hour.
00:18:12Blessed by the gods.
00:18:15The Emperor.
00:18:17It's impossible!
00:18:18Edmund, tell me you didn't!
00:18:21I had to secure our bloodline.
00:18:27Give 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.
00:19:14The true heir of this house.
00:19:17My son.
00:19:19My heir.
00:19:39You're telling this court I'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.
00:20:15If I had to guess.
00:20:16The moment the Emperor degreed Isabella's marriage.
00:20:19You realized if she entered the Royal Court the Crown would eventually discover her secret.
00:20:23So you hired a pack of mercenaries to 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 your 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, they break much faster than paid assassins.
00:20:39Commander!
00:20:39Commander 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 ordered them to silence Isabella before 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 gave House Alistair absolute power.
00:21:06Unmatched 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.
00:21:18I saw.
00:21:23I saw the truth.
00:21:24If my son took the cradle, he'd rule the world.
00:21:29But the vision didn't end there.
00:21:32I saw the flaw that would kill us.
00:21:34The decree.
00:21:35The royal wedding.
00:21:37If Isabella entered that palace, he 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.
00:21:52I 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.
00:22:02You.
00:22:07Morgana, I confess it all.
00:22:09Punish me alone.
00:22:11I beg you.
00:22:11Look at me.
00:22:12Remember my father's loyalty.
00:22:15Spare my wife.
00:22:17He's lying.
00:22:18We knew nothing.
00:22:19Please.
00:22:20I'm begging you.
00:22:21Take my life, but let them live.
00:22:24Granted.
00:22:25Thank you, Oracle.
00:22:28My life for theirs.
00:22:31Edmund!
00:22:32No!
00:22:33Edmund!
00:22:34No, Edmund!
00:22:36Edmund!
00:22:38Please stay.
00:22:41Wake up, please.
00:22:42Don't leave me.
00:23:17I gave them my sight.
00:23:19To watch the dark.
00:23:21Instead, they watched the throne.
00:23:24Built a lie.
00:23:25Thought they could cheat fate.
00:23:27Thought they owned me.
00:23:29They 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.
00:23:47Now, 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.
00:24:05God. The Emperor.
00:24:11Your Majesty.
00:24:15By royal decree, Prince Kale and the Empress are hereby spankstripped of titles.
00:24:21They shall be cast into the Black Cells.
00:24:24It shall be done.
00:24:32Lady Morgana! Lady Morgana, it's you!
00:24:35Careful, sire!
00:24:37Morgana! Sire, wait! Lady Morgana!
00:24:41Oh, my Lady Morgana.
00:24:43Forgive me.
00:24:45It's my fault.
00:24:47I was blind to let them trouble you.
00:24:49I wish to name you High Protector, to guide the realm.
00:24:54Every mage alive will answer only to your command.
00:24:59My rule is simple.
00:25:01One shard for one question.
00:25:03You want a prophecy?
00:25:04Give me your family's ancient inheritance.
00:25:08The crown shard in exchange.
00:25:11Ah, right. If you wish to reclaim the shard, I will gladly return it.
00:25:18After all, my family owes are thrown to you.
00:25:21Power is a debt. When I give and when I take, is my choice alone.
00:25:26Why the rush?
00:25:28Ah, yes. You are completely right.
00:25:31Please, rest at Ashermyth Palace.
00:25:33Everything will grant her than...
00:25:35No, no! Higher than Imperial standards!
00:25:38No need.
00:25:39I am going to Asherwith Keep.
00:25:41Besides, my heart currently belongs to him.
00:25:53Yes, yes, of course.
00:25:55Take my royal carriage.
00:25:59Please, my Lady. After you.
00:26:01Your Grace, that is the Sovereign's carriage.
00:26:03It breaks royal protocol.
00:26:05Shut your mouth!
00:26:07Lady Morgana is the law.
00:26:09Her word is absolute.
00:26:10There is no protocol in this world that outrants her.
00:26:13Isn't that right, my dear lady?
00:26:15Please.
00:26:17Mind the step, my Lady.
00:26:18Careful now. Very careful.
00:26:21Commander Ashworth.
00:26:23Your Grace.
00:26:23If she suffers even a scratch, I swear to God,
00:26:26I will hang every last member of your retted house.
00:26:29Do I make myself clear?
00:26:31Crystal clear, Your Grace.
00:26:32My dear Lady Morgana,
00:26:34I have just remembered
00:26:36some urgent matters of state to attend to.
00:26:38I must take my leave.
00:26:44You serve Lady Morgana now.
00:26:46Farewell. Have a pleasant journey.
00:26:51Earlier you said that I had your heart.
00:26:54What the hell does that mean?
00:26:56Sixty years ago,
00:26:58my heart was carved from my chest.
00:27:01It is not with you.
00:27:04It is in your house.
00:27:07My house?
00:27:11This way, Lady Morgana.
00:27:13Thanks to Your Grace,
00:27:14sixty years ago,
00:27:15when you bestowed the Heartmen Shard upon us,
00:27:17the Ashworth name is now renowned for our healing arts.
00:27:20You see?
00:27:21These afflicted souls travel from the furthest corners of the kingdom,
00:27:24seeking our aid.
00:27:26So, the legendary Ashworth healing arts
00:27:30actually came from you.
00:27:33Tell me then,
00:27:34just how old are you exactly?
00:27:37Does it matter to you?
00:27:39Please, my lord,
00:27:40save my mother!
00:27:41Wake up, mama!
00:27:42Somebody help her!
00:27:43Have mercy!
00:27:44Please help my mother!
00:27:45I beg of you!
00:27:47This is all the coin I have.
00:27:49Please,
00:27:50show some mercy.
00:27:52A handful of dirty coppers?
00:27:54And you expect the Master's healing for that?
00:27:57Get out of here,
00:27:58now!
00:27:58Stop wasting everyone's time.
00:28:00Selina!
00:28:03Cedric!
00:28:04You're finally home!
00:28:06When I gave your family the Shard,
00:28:08it was to heal the broken.
00:28:10To serve the realm,
00:28:11not to exploit the weak.
00:28:13You have broken the pact.
00:28:15Give the fragment back.
00:28:16Who do you think you are?
00:28:18How dare a commoner like you
00:28:20make demands in Ashwild Keeps!
00:28:21Silence!
00:28:22Show her respect!
00:28:24This is Selina Frost.
00:28:27A ward
00:28:27taken in by my father.
00:28:30Selina.
00:28:31We heal the sick,
00:28:32regardless of coin.
00:28:33Have you forgotten?
00:28:35Go to the chapel!
00:28:36Pray!
00:28:37Beg her forgiveness!
00:28:38You heard him!
00:28:39To the chapel now!
00:28:40Now!
00:28:42I beg your pardon,
00:28:43my lady.
00:28:44I had no idea
00:28:45she was extorting them.
00:28:48Rest assured,
00:28:49the Ashwilds honor your gift.
00:28:51We'd never turn away the poor.
00:28:53Most days,
00:28:54we treat all these commoners
00:28:55without asking for any money.
00:28:57I said return the Shard.
00:29:02Or do you mean to defy me?
00:29:04No, no!
00:29:05The relic is rightfully yours!
00:29:07I will return it to you immediately.
00:29:09It is just...
00:29:10The Hartman Shard
00:29:12is kept safe by my eldest,
00:29:13Marin.
00:29:14She's been in seclusion
00:29:15at a distant abbey for years.
00:29:17Once she returns from her retreat,
00:29:18I will present it to you myself.
00:29:20Fine.
00:29:21I will wait.
00:29:27Every time I return,
00:29:29she still won't see me.
00:29:32Fifteen years.
00:29:33Fifteen years since I've laid eyes on her.
00:29:35Does she really despise me that much?
00:29:37Why do you think she treats you
00:29:39with such coldness?
00:29:42Because of what I did.
00:29:43She hates me.
00:29:45When I was a boy,
00:29:47I almost died.
00:29:48My sister came for me,
00:29:50and the iron drove through her right arm
00:29:52in my place.
00:29:53She was never the same again.
00:29:58She was a master healer.
00:30:00Those gifted hands.
00:30:02She could bring the dying back to life.
00:30:04But because of me,
00:30:05the scar on her arm never faded.
00:30:07And she was taken from me forever.
00:30:09She became a completely different person
00:30:11after that.
00:30:12The Hartman Shard
00:30:13was hers by birthright.
00:30:15With its power,
00:30:16she became the greatest healer
00:30:17in the kingdom.
00:30:18And then they sent her far away
00:30:20to a quiet abbey
00:30:21where she could practice in peace.
00:30:23But I know the truth.
00:30:25That day
00:30:27became a thorn in her heart.
00:30:29One that will never be pulled out.
00:30:31Every time she looks at me,
00:30:32she remembers what saving me cost her.
00:30:35Everything is bound by consequence, Commander.
00:30:37You see only the branches above the soil,
00:30:40but you are blind to the roots below.
00:30:43What is that supposed to mean?
00:30:44You will know soon enough.
00:30:50My knees are hurting.
00:30:52I'll fetch the salve.
00:30:55Cedric just got back
00:30:56and he's already screaming at me
00:30:58because of her!
00:30:59She's an honoured guest.
00:31:01Even Lord Ashworth
00:31:01had to apologise to her.
00:31:03Master Cedric serves her.
00:31:05People are whispering.
00:31:07She might be his future bride.
00:31:09His future bride?
00:31:10Look at her.
00:31:11She's a freak.
00:31:13With that filthy black rags.
00:31:15She doesn't deserve Cedric.
00:31:21Crone.
00:31:22What is that?
00:31:24Honey cakes.
00:31:25Master Cedric's favourite.
00:31:27And imperial spiced wine
00:31:29for Lady Morgana.
00:31:31Holt!
00:31:33Imperial spiced wine?
00:31:35A gift from the Emperor himself.
00:31:37It's worth a fortune.
00:31:38You really know how to grovel.
00:31:41Give it here.
00:31:44Healers 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.
00:31:59She is Master Cedric's guest.
00:32:01Oh!
00:32:03Know your place.
00:32:05Without Ashfield Charity,
00:32:07a useless old crone
00:32:08would be rotting in the gutter.
00:32:11Pathetic.
00:32:16I am disciplining a servant.
00:32:18Since when does a blind freak
00:32:20interfere with Ashfield affairs?
00:32:22If your tongue serves only to offend,
00:32:25then you should not speak at all.
00:32:29Morgana.
00:32:31You little piece of...
00:32:33My lady, what is it?
00:32:35My lady, what's wrong?
00:32:36Please, say something.
00:32:37What's doing this?
00:32:38Gards, help us!
00:32:40Get Lord Aldric, she's choking.
00:32:41She can't breathe.
00:32:43Lord Aldric, please, hurry.
00:32:45I'm right here.
00:32:46Just breathe.
00:32:47She suddenly lost her voice.
00:32:50Selene is just a foolish girl.
00:32:51She didn't mean to offend you.
00:32:53I will make her apologise to you at once.
00:32:55What are you waiting for?
00:32:56Apologise, now.
00:32:58Are you deaf?
00:32:59Do you want to be mute forever?
00:33:00Ever?
00:33:05My lady.
00:33:07I don't want your apology.
00:33:09Kneel to the one you truly wronged.
00:33:12Please, no.
00:33:13I'm nobody.
00:33:14A lady cannot kneel to me.
00:33:16I'm just a servant.
00:33:18Silence!
00:33:19Just be grateful.
00:33:20Every brick in this house
00:33:21rests on the Hartman Shard.
00:33:24She built our legacy.
00:33:26Oracle, I beg you.
00:33:28She's terrified.
00:33:30Let it be enough.
00:33:32Please, have mercy.
00:33:39Your mercy is boundless, my lady.
00:33:42I will discipline the girl at once.
00:33:45Come, my lady.
00:33:46Let us go.
00:33:50Are you hurt?
00:33:52I am fine, my lord.
00:33:55You've grown so thin.
00:33:57The northern winds have been cruel to you.
00:33:59You must stay longer this time.
00:34:01Your name day is soon.
00:34:03I knitted you a pair of thick winter gloves.
00:34:06Let me fetch them for you.
00:34:08Wait right here for me.
00:34:11That old woman.
00:34:12Her devotion to you is genuine.
00:34:15It is.
00:34:16She has been here since I was a boy.
00:34:19Always kind to me.
00:34:20When I was injured as a boy,
00:34:22she sneaked me pouches.
00:34:24And every year on my name day,
00:34:26when my own sister was lost to me,
00:34:28she brought me warm broth and fresh bread.
00:34:31With her,
00:34:33I almost remember what having a sister felt like.
00:34:35If that is true,
00:34:37you should show her more grace while you can.
00:34:39I have seen the shadow on her.
00:34:41She has but a few days left.
00:34:44Do not wait until tomorrow
00:34:46to realize what you have lost.
00:34:52Listen to me, child.
00:34:53Never cross paths with Morgana again.
00:34:56She thinks she owns us.
00:34:58Patience, my sweet girl.
00:35:00I'm securing your future.
00:35:02Play the game.
00:35:04Let her think she's win.
00:35:05Soon, everything will be yours.
00:35:09Lady Morgana,
00:35:10Lady Ashfield has sent me
00:35:12to return the Hartman's shard
00:35:13to its rightful owner.
00:35:15We have heard
00:35:16when you take back what is yours,
00:35:19you offer a reading in return.
00:35:22Lady Ashworth has written her question
00:35:23right here on this parchment.
00:35:26Take it, Cedric.
00:35:32I will not answer this question
00:35:34because the Hartman's shard is a fake.
00:35:38What?
00:35:40A fake!
00:35:41Someone must have switched it
00:35:43when she wasn't looking.
00:35:44I'll get to the bottom of this.
00:35:46Tonight.
00:35:46Don't.
00:35:48What is mine
00:35:49will always return to my hands.
00:35:52Lady Morgana,
00:35:54Commander Ashford.
00:35:57The Emperor begs your aid.
00:35:59The Empress Doorwager is dying.
00:36:02The Royal Physicians
00:36:02can do nothing for her.
00:36:04His Majesty demands
00:36:05you come at once.
00:36:06Please, my Lady,
00:36:07you are her only hope.
00:36:12Lead the way.
00:36:14Useless fools!
00:36:16What good are you if she dies?
00:36:18Your Majesty,
00:36:20Lady Morgana has arrived.
00:36:25Morgana,
00:36:26thank the gods you have come.
00:36:27Please, you must help her.
00:36:29Mother is...
00:36:29Her flame has burned out.
00:36:31Her time is over.
00:36:33Prepare the crypt.
00:36:35Lies!
00:36:35That is a lie!
00:36:36Your Majesty,
00:36:40I can save the Empress.
00:36:44Morgana,
00:36:44if you can't save her,
00:36:46stop making pathetic excuses.
00:36:48I say
00:36:49you have no real power.
00:36:52You're nothing but
00:36:52a fraudulent witch.
00:36:54Selina!
00:36:55This is a royal chamber,
00:36:56not your playground!
00:36:57Your Grace,
00:36:58I can heal her
00:36:59on my life.
00:37:00Selina Frost,
00:37:02you should know.
00:37:03Cedric knows it well.
00:37:04My prophecies
00:37:06are never wrong.
00:37:07Care to make a wager, then?
00:37:09On what?
00:37:10If I win,
00:37:11I want the Emperor
00:37:12to decree my marriage
00:37:14to Cedric.
00:37:14and I want your head
00:37:16severed from your neck.
00:37:18Your Grace.
00:37:19Madness.
00:37:20This is absolute madness.
00:37:22Guards!
00:37:22Drag this madwoman away!
00:37:24I accept.
00:37:30Very well.
00:37:32Give it a try.
00:37:33If you truly cure my mother,
00:37:36I will grant your every wish.
00:37:45So you stole
00:37:46the Hartmann's schnaz.
00:37:47Cedric,
00:37:48I'll be a master healer,
00:37:50just like your sister.
00:37:52Then you'll finally see
00:37:54I'm the only one for you.
00:37:57Forcing fate
00:37:58only brings ruin.
00:38:00If you insist on this path,
00:38:02you alone will choke
00:38:04on the ashes.
00:38:06Save your cheap parlor tricks.
00:38:08Healing the sick
00:38:09is God's work.
00:38:10There's no price for that.
00:38:13By the old blood,
00:38:14I 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!
00:38:41What's happening?
00:38:43It burns!
00:38:45It burns!
00:38:46It burns!
00:38:47It burns!
00:38:48Oh God!
00:38:53Water!
00:38:54Please!
00:39:00Mother!
00:39:02Mother!
00:39:02Wake up!
00:39:06My face!
00:39:08No!
00:39:09How did this happen?
00:39:13You stole my magic,
00:39:15but you never asked
00:39:16when the spell steals
00:39:17a living spark,
00:39:19whose spark
00:39:20does it take?
00:39:23Move along.
00:39:25Get out.
00:39:26Move!
00:39:26Before I drag you out!
00:39:29Know who stands before you.
00:39:31My lord,
00:39:32I did not know.
00:39:33Maren.
00:39:34My lord,
00:39:35you're mistaken.
00:39:36She's not Maren.
00:39:38She's just an old crone.
00:39:39Nothing more.
00:39:40My lord!
00:39:41Get out!
00:39:42Yes, my lord!
00:39:48My lord,
00:39:49I'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.
00:39:56Only the bloodline,
00:39:58only the Hartman Shard Bearer
00:40:00can come here.
00:40:02Let me see you.
00:40:12That scar.
00:40:15Where did this scar come from?
00:40:17Only Maren bore this mark.
00:40:20Maren?
00:40:24Why didn't you tell me?
00:40:29Whose life did you think
00:40:30you were spending?
00:40:32The Ashworth Empire
00:40:33isn't built on medicine.
00:40:34It's built on a parasite.
00:40:37It trades your years for theirs.
00:40:39A simple fever
00:40:41costs you a month.
00:40:42A fatal wound
00:40:45strips the youth
00:40:46right off your bones.
00:40:49Sick Empress was already dead.
00:40:51Her time was up.
00:40:53Give her every hour
00:40:53you have left.
00:40:55It won't buy her
00:40:56a single day.
00:40:58Then what about Maren?
00:40:59Explain Maren!
00:41:01She bore the Shard
00:41:02for thirty years,
00:41:03pulled thousands
00:41:04from the grave.
00:41:05Then she should be dust!
00:41:07She should be
00:41:08a rotting corpse!
00:41:09Why is she flawless?
00:41:11Why not her?
00:41:12Look at me!
00:41:13It took everything!
00:41:15My skin!
00:41:16My life!
00:41:18Why just me?
00:41:19You said she was perfect.
00:41:22Cedric,
00:41:23you believe she hid
00:41:24from you for ten years.
00:41:26It never crossed your mind
00:41:27that the woman she became
00:41:29was standing right
00:41:30in front of you.
00:41:32And you looked
00:41:33right through her.
00:41:35Stop.
00:41:36What does that mean?
00:41:37You're a commander.
00:41:39Open your eyes.
00:41:41Every year on your birthday,
00:41:42that old servant,
00:41:44the only one
00:41:44who 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!
00:41:54She said no visitors!
00:41:55My lord!
00:42:01My lord!
00:42:03Gods,
00:42:05it's really you.
00:42:09Why?
00:42:10All these years,
00:42:11why didn't you tell me?
00:42:13Every time I used the shard,
00:42:16it stole a year of my life,
00:42:18burned away.
00:42:19Then one morning,
00:42:20I looked in the glass,
00:42:22white hair,
00:42:23hands shaking like a crone.
00:42:25Maren!
00:42:26Maren, let me in!
00:42:27My lord, no!
00:42:28Get off!
00:42:29I want my sister!
00:42:31Let 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.
00:42:40Look at me.
00:42:41You are Maren.
00:42:43The bravest person I know.
00:42:45But I abandoned you.
00:42:47You gave me your entire life,
00:42:49and I was blind.
00:42:51I didn't see my own sister.
00:42:53I'm sorry.
00:42:55Oh, my brave little brother.
00:42:56It's all right now.
00:43:05Cedric,
00:43:06tomorrow is your name day.
00:43:08I haven't made your broth yet.
00:43:10Maren, please.
00:43:12Just rest.
00:43:13You made it for me every year.
00:43:15My whole life.
00:43:16Tomorrow,
00:43:17I'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,
00:43:29traded her life away,
00:43:30and I just stood there.
00:43:31He used the Heartmen Shard
00:43:33to drain her year by year
00:43:34while I watched and called it nothing.
00:43:36She 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.
00:43:45She gave you time.
00:43:47That was all she ever wanted.
00:43:49I looked right past her for years.
00:43:52Thank you
00:43:53for stripping away every excuse I had.
00:43:56I have her back.
00:43:57Whatever it cost you,
00:43:58I swear on my blade
00:44:00I will repay that debt.
00:44:01She hasn't eaten in days.
00:44:02I made this for her.
00:44:04I don't know if she'll want it,
00:44:04but I need to give her something.
00:44:06I'm going to take it to her now.
00:44:07Wait.
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!
00:44:30The scale always balances.
00:44:36Get away from me!
00:44:38Don't touch me!
00:44:40I want my sister!
00:44:42Get away!
00:44:44Where is she?
00:44:49I want my sister!
00:44:52Cedric.
00:44:53I'm here.
00:44:55Look at me.
00:44:56Don't touch me!
00:44:57You old witch!
00:45:02She's dead, isn't she?
00:45:04She left me.
00:45:05Everyone 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.
00:45:16Right here.
00:45:18I've got you.
00:45:23Lord Ashworth.
00:45:24She 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.
00:45:41Even 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, I'd go willingly.
00:45:56And yet you stood there.
00:45:58Every scar on her body, every 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.
00:46:15He only cared about the gold.
00:46:17The price her dying breath could buy.
00:46:20Oracle, please.
00:46:22Everyone here knows the Ashworth name.
00:46:24We 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, then tell me what you've been hiding in the dark.
00:46:40Every transaction.
00:46:41Every name.
00:46:43Every debt you buried.
00:46:59These are property deeds.
00:47:01Hundreds of them.
00:47:02The Ashworth fled the Highlords dry in secret.
00:47:04They traded healing for mansions.
00:47:06For 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 and left her to rot in the dirt.
00:47:20She gave everything and 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.
00:47:34A secret mistress.
00:47:36A hidden life.
00:47:38There is no one!
00:47:39You are lying!
00:47:40The child you had with her has 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?
00:47:52You gave Selene full run of this house.
00:47:55Is 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.
00:48:04You cannot lay this at my feet.
00:48:06I am innocent if there was money missing from the patients.
00:48:10Maren did it herself.
00:48:12Plain greed.
00:48:13She 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.
00:48:48She died a ruined servant under your roof.
00:48:51And 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.
00:48:59Look 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, it 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.
00:49:20She owed this family her service.
00:49:23It was her duty to plead for us!
00:49:25A 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 and found nothing at all.
00:49:40You let a child wither in your place and called it fate.
00:49:44You said you wished to carry the burden.
00:49:47You wanted the Ember's power for yourself.
00:49:49You wanted it all.
00:49:53Very well.
00:49:57Let us see how much of it you can bear.
00:50:05Very well.
00:50:31No!
00:50:32Get off me!
00:50:33I am the lord of this!
00:50:37No!
00:50:39No!
00:50:40No!
00:50:41No!
00:50:41No!
00:50:43No!
00:50:43No!
00:50:43No!
00:50:44No!
00:50:45No!
00:50:47No!
00:50:48No!
00:50:49No!
00:50:51No!
00:50:51No!
00:50:52Every year he stole from Marin, they just ripped it back.
00:51:15Maren, can you hear me? Look at me!
00:51:19You... you came back.
00:51:27Remember 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?
00:52:21Please! 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.
00:52:39I'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 thirty years Aldric took from her have been stripped
00:52:51from his bones. They're hers now. Her hand is healed. The debt is paid. She will never serve in the
00:52:58dark again. She lives. The transaction is complete.
00:53:05Oracle. 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 you walk,
00:53:31I 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 Hartman Shard from your sister, I absorbed thirty years of her memories.
00:53:49Every single day she spent trapped in that house. There's an echo now. A pressure in my chest.
00:53:56You have a rule. You reclaim a piece of your power. You owe the bloodline one truth. One ember. One
00:54:02question. Maren gave her whole youth to keep me alive. She never got to ask her question.
00:54:10Maren. So 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.
00:54:33If 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.
00:54:42In front of who? Who do I bleed for?
00:54:46Me. Knowing this. Knowing that every step north is a step towards your own grave. And you still want to
00:54:54come with me. Forget it. It doesn't matter.
00:55:00You are ordered to stay behind. I walk into Ironwall alone. I don't need a shield.
00:55:06I swore an oath to you. I stand between you and whatever comes. I'm going.
00:55:16I 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...
00:55:55Lately. The moment the sun sets. The dead walk. Vesta fears the undead soldiers. Breaching the walls. Slaughtering our people.
00:56:03Please forgive the locked gates, my lady.
00:56:04These 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.
00:56:25Take me to him. Of course. Finn!
00:56:35You dare test me, boy? Who authorized you to breach the protocol? Who gave you leave to welcome stray vagras
00:56:42into 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.
00:56:53We 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!
00:57:58Can't do the gates!
00:58:01Green!
00:58:02Or the gates!
00:58:02Go, they!
00:58:04Aaaaaah!
00:58:05Aaaaah!
00:58:12Ring of steel! Protect Morgana!
00:58:22Ash to ice!
00:58:24Darknest break!
00:58:26Done!
00:58:45This malice. I know it.
00:58:48She broke them. Who goes there?
00:58:51Morgana.
00:58:52Lady Morgana!
00:58:54Forgive 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. Smile for me. You look best when you smile.
00:59:09Foolish.
00:59:19Morgana. My sister-in-law is a monster on the battlefield.
00:59:23She holds the true bloodline. No one beats her.
00:59:26Is this it, then? The day you foreseen I would die?
00:59:50He's hurt.
00:59:51He will not die.
00:59:55Playing with time!
01:00:14Well fought. Your form is decent.
01:00:17But you fight like you fear death. Always leaving room to retreat.
01:00:22Remember, a real enemy won't give you quarter. The only way to outlive them is to care less about dying.
01:00:30Mother! Mother!
01:00:35There's my little bird.
01:00:37You promised me we'd practice archery today.
01:00:41I know. Go grab your bow. I'm coming.
01:00:43Okay.
01:00:48When you have something you can't leave behind, then teach me to fight.
01:00:52Tomorrow, I will grant you an audience with a Patriarch.
01:00:58You see? I am still breathing.
01:01:00If you had truly defied my vision.
01:01:04Now that would be interesting.
01:01:09Two years ago, at the Bloodwater Siege, Vesta's husband begged the Emperor for reinforcements.
01:01:15But the Royal Court was busy preparing the Emperor's Jubilee.
01:01:19The army never marched. Her husband died in the mud, left her and the child alone.
01:01:24Vesta has every reason to hate the Crown. She struck a deal with the enemy.
01:01:30You are wrong.
01:01:32You said we were seeing the Patriarch. Why bring us to a crypt?
01:01:35Whatever you see in there, hold your nerve.
01:01:39My grandfather rests inside. Please, this way.
01:01:58What?
01:02:02My lady, the North is freezing. I brought you these heavy furs.
01:02:06Your concern is noted, boy.
01:02:08But she has no need for such common scraps.
01:02:11These are royal pelts from...
01:02:16Gods.
01:02:18What in the world is this?
01:02:19It's...
01:02:20It's so soft. It doesn't even feel like wool.
01:02:23It feels like water.
01:02:25These deep red shapes here.
01:02:27What kind of flower is this?
01:02:29A rose.
01:02:30The sovereign of flowers.
01:02:32A rose.
01:02:33It's beautiful.
01:02:35I can't even imagine it.
01:02:36So 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.
01:02:48Help us reclaim the shard from your keep.
01:02:51And this mantle is yours to keep.
01:02:54Truly?
01:02:55You swear on your honor?
01:02:57On my blood.
01:03:00Done.
01:03:00I'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?
01:03:15It 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.
01:03:39None.
01:03:47This isn't a sickness, is it?
01:03:49It is his own madness.
01:03:51His madness.
01:03:52Thorn's natural life ended in the snow six months ago.
01:04:00But his fury anchored him here.
01:04:03He refuses to pass on.
01:04:05And the shard buried within him gave his wrath a physical form, spawning the dead that batter
01:04:12your gates, while 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?
01:04:37The dead are marching in daylight.
01:04:42I'll hold the line.
01:04:43Gather 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, just take it.
01:04:52I beg you.
01:04:55Yes.
01:04:56But the shard must be freely given.
01:04:59Even I cannot carve it out by force.
01:05:01I 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.
01:05:41I remember a boy.
01:05:44One who chased my shadow, always begging for stories.
01:05:48Now, reduced to stone.
01:05:55Veil lift.
01:05:56Flesh bind.
01:05:59Awaken.
01:06:02Thorn.
01:06:05Ashworth!
01:06:06Her magic broke!
01:06:07She'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?
01:06:55Better than being the crown's lapdog.
01:06:58Why should we bleed for them?
01:06:59Our ancestors all followed Morgana.
01:07:01We 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 rain creeps get?
01:07:08Three generations rotting in this frozen wasteland.
01:07:11Bleeding out in the ice.
01:07:12Just 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?
01:07:41Break the chains.
01:08:08Yes.
01:08:10I remember the vow.
01:08:13I gave you my word.
01:08:15To hold this fortress.
01:08:17To bleed for the innocent.
01:08:21But the dead are here.
01:08:23The 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.
01:08:35Your men.
01:08:36I...
01:08:38Let them.
01:08:39I...
01:08:41Let's go.
01:09:11Let the Obsession die.
01:09:15You must go.
01:09:18Whatever my sister commands, Thorn will always obey.
01:09:25But before I return the Shard, Morgana, may I ask you one question?
01:09:45Let's go.
01:09:47Let's go.
01:09:55Let's go.
01:09:56Let's go.
01:10:00Let's go.
01:10:02Let's go.
01:10:04Let's go.
01:10:09Let's go.
01:10:28Let's go.
01:10:31Let's go.
01:10:44Let's go.
01:11:01Let's go.
01:11:02Let's go.
01:11:09Let's go.
01:11:12Let's go.
01:11:20Let's go.
01:11:23Let's go.
01:11:25Let's go.
01:11:30Let's go.
01:11:36Let's go.
01:11:38Let's go.
01:11:39Let's go.
01:11:48Let's go.
01:11:52Let's go.
01:12:01Let's go.
01:12:02Let's go.
01:12:03Let's go.
01:12:09Let's go.
01:12:10Let's go.
01:12:15Let's go.
01:12:18Let's go.
01:12:30Let's go.
01:12:42Let's go.
01:12:45Let's go.
01:12:47Let's go.
01:12:54Let's go.
01:13:04Let's go.
01:13:21Let's go.
01:13:24Let's go.
01:13:34Let's go.
01:13:36Let's go.
01:13:37Let's go.
01:13:38Let's go.
01:13:41Let's go.
01:13:42Let's go.
01:13:45Let's go.
01:13:50Let's go.
01:13:52Let's go.
01:13:53Let's go.
01:13:59Finn, why would you do this?
01:14:02My brother, he died because the crown, because the crown never sent reinforcements.
01:14:10He bled out in the snow, and ever since then, I haven't seen you smile.
01:14:16Not truly.
01:14:18I was so close, just a little more, and I could have taken you away from this prison.
01:14:29You foolish boy.
01:14:32Frostfire is now prison.
01:14:34Look at the people behind these walls, the thousands we pulled from the slaughter, the
01:14:39soldiers I trained with my own hands.
01:14:41Every block of black stone, every frozen inch of the north, holds 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, and I will defend 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, but I love the north.
01:15:15I love our people.
01:15:17I am holding this line for your brother, so the children here, so my own daughter, can
01:15:23sleep 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.
01:15:34I will.
01:15:35I'll take you south.
01:15:37I want to sleep beneath the roses.
01:15:47Sixty years ago, to buy this realm a breath of life, I gave my own flesh and soul to the
01:15:54forge.
01:15:55No attachments.
01:15:57No 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, knowing 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.
01:16:52Still breathes.
01:16:53I 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?
01:17:09Sixty winters ago, the realm was drowning in its own blood.
01:17:15To buy them a dawn, I offered my own flesh and soul.
01:17:20I stripped everything away.
01:17:22Bound it to the obsidian, twelve fragments, given to twelve disciples to save this world.
01:17:30Sixty years have passed.
01:17:32My students took that power and forged twelve great bloodlines.
01:17:37And now, there is peace.
01:17:40Now 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.
01:17:49Or sleep, for that matter.
01:17:51Your hair turned white.
01:17:53Silence.
01:18:02Morgana.
01:18:05I will help you get it all back.
01:18:08Every last piece.
01:18:11You have my word.
01:18:13No matter what it takes.
01:18:16No 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.
01:19:00Morgana.
01:19:06Morgana.
01:19:19Morgana.
01:19:19Morgana.
01:19:20Morgana.
01:19:21Morgana.
01:19:22Morgana.
01:19:22Morgana.
01:19:24My lady, forgive me.
01:19:28Assassins!
01:19:44This southern blood magic.
01:19:46They say one puppet butchers ten men, and I tore them apart before they could even blink.
01:19:51I feel like I could rip through solid iron.
01:19:54You were bleeding to death.
01:19:56No medicine could save you.
01:19:58So I bound a fraction of my shard to your fading heart.
01:20:01Tethered your life to mine.
01:20:03With my power in your veins, no mortal man can stand against you.
01:20:07You could have run.
01:20:09You chose to stay.
01:20:11You accepted my gift.
01:20:14From now on, you are bound to my will.
01:20:17Are we clear?
01:20:20So I am no better than these husks?
01:20:23I'm just your puppet?
01:20:25Do not compare yourself to such pathetic trash.
01:20:29They are nothing like you.
01:20:33You...
01:20:34You are my masterpiece.
01:20:48You are my emperor.
01:20:50You are my lord.
01:20:52My lord.
01:20:56Who has the freedom?
01:20:56And you are my lord.
01:20:56I am your lord.
01:21:02The success of the evil spirit is the right.
01:21:05I am not going to run.
01:21:05You are my lord.
