00:08:30The royal escort led by the obsidian guard
00:08:33Commander Cedric himself
00:08:35The reaper of the realm
00:08:43The prophecy is written
00:08:49And the king's edict
00:09:00Commander Cedric, you heard the prophecy
00:09:02If Isabella rides to the palace today
00:09:04It will be her funeral
00:09:07The crown
00:09:08Commands this union, Lord Alistair
00:09:11My escort is already at your gates
00:09:14You dare defy the throne over cheap politrix
00:09:18And break the royal contract
00:09:20Unless
00:09:22You doubt my ability to keep her breathing
00:09:27No, Commander
00:09:28Your blade is legendary
00:09:29Your tactics flawless
00:09:31The king trusts no other
00:09:32She is safe with you
00:09:35But
00:09:36Morgana has seen it
00:09:37She is our only hope
00:09:40Alistair
00:09:40The king's patience is not infinite
00:09:43Do not humiliate us for a blind witch
00:09:46The crown's wrath will burn this castle to the ground
00:09:49I will not let you ruin us
00:09:52She is right, father
00:09:53I am perfectly safe with the commander
00:09:56Have the carriage ready
00:09:57I will fetch my veil
00:10:04Isabella
00:10:05Let her go
00:10:06Let her go
00:10:07The hour is set
00:10:08My debt shall be claimed when the blood runs dry
00:10:22I'm ready, father
00:10:24The crown is mine
00:10:26Our legacy begins
00:10:29My daughter
00:10:31Our ultimate masterpiece
00:10:35Lock it down, double guards
00:10:37Kill anything that moves
00:10:38Nothing
00:10:39Nothing touched that carriage
00:10:40Are we clear?
00:10:42Crystal clear, captain
00:10:43Consider it done
00:10:44You're wasting men
00:10:47The prophecy is spoken
00:10:50The bride won't survive this journey
00:10:52I am never wrong
00:10:54Enlighten me then, Oracle
00:10:55Give me a name
00:10:56How exactly does she die?
00:10:59Give me real intel
00:11:01Do that, I might believe you
00:11:03Seeing the end requires a price
00:11:05A transaction
00:11:06I see the blood
00:11:08The question is
00:11:10Can you afford it?
00:11:13There it is
00:11:14The classic shakedown
00:11:15We always get here
00:11:16Just a beggar
00:11:17I could watch the duke's daughter
00:11:19In her wedding dress
00:11:20Perfectly protected by your elite guards
00:11:23Ride straight to her execution
00:11:25Let me ride with your convoy
00:11:27Take me
00:11:29I'll prove you wrong
00:11:35Play the prophet
00:11:37Watch her cross those gates alive
00:11:41I'll feel the blood
00:11:45Bring the oracle a horse
00:12:31Take them to the iron court
00:12:33I want a name
00:12:35Yes, commander
00:12:43Thank the gods Cedric was here
00:12:45We're safe
00:12:47He earned his coin
00:12:51You fight well, mortal
00:12:54Pity it changes nothing
00:12:56I do not guess
00:12:59The grave is dug
00:13:01The hour is here
00:13:03Step forward, future Empress
00:13:12Isabella
00:13:13My love, finally
00:13:18No
00:13:19God
00:13:29The prophecy
00:13:30She knew
00:13:32How?
00:13:33She was right there
00:13:34The prophecy is fulfilled
00:13:36Her blood is spilled
00:13:39You killed my daughter
00:13:40Your daughter's death was a tragedy
00:13:43Eleanor
00:13:43Don't provoke her
00:13:44Look at the carriage
00:13:45The doors were sealed
00:13:47Who else could bypass those locks?
00:13:50Enough
00:13:50Seal the gates
00:13:51Nobody leaves this yort yard
00:13:53You're all suspects
00:13:55Take them to the iron court
00:14:02We're alone
00:14:03Just tell me the damn truth
00:14:05How did you reach inside
00:14:07A moving, heavily guarded carriage
00:14:09And take her head
00:14:10Without a single sound
00:14:12You mapped out her execution beforehand
00:14:15Fine
00:14:17Say you didn't swing the blade yourself
00:14:21But you orchestrated this
00:14:24If that comforts you
00:14:26You may use it
00:14:31I see the threads
00:14:33Every drop of blood
00:14:34Before it falls
00:14:36The end is written
00:14:38You're just walking the path blind
00:14:41Cut the riddles
00:14:42You're in my cell now
00:14:46If you see everything
00:14:47Then what happens next?
00:14:50Does the blade slip?
00:14:52Does the steel bite?
00:14:53Or maybe I'm just sick of your games
00:14:55And slit your throat right now
00:14:56Did you see that?
00:15:01A seer is blind to her own end
00:15:04That is the only law I obey
00:15:07Then tell me how this ends
00:15:10But you cannot kill me, Cedric
00:15:15Let's put that to the test
00:15:17Steel cannot touch me
00:15:22By drawing it on me
00:15:24You owe a deadly debt
00:15:25Madness
00:15:26I serve the crown
00:15:28I don't fear witches
00:15:32Still believe in hard facts, Commander?
00:15:36Commander!
00:15:37We have a situation
00:15:38The prisoners from the ambush, sir
00:15:40They took poison
00:15:41Hidden in their teeth
00:15:43They're all dead
00:15:44Trails cold
00:15:45Dead?
00:15:46You let our only witnesses die in chains?
00:15:49They were paid to die
00:15:50They'd never talk
00:15:51You want the true killer?
00:15:54Stop asking the living
00:15:55They only lie
00:15:56I'll make the dead speak
00:16:05You said you could make the dead speak
00:16:07Name your price
00:16:09There's always a price with you
00:16:11Always
00:16:12Name it
00:16:13Whatever closes this investigation
00:16:16I want your absolute obedience
00:16:20When I speak
00:16:21You do not question
00:16:22When I point
00:16:24You do not hesitate
00:16:25My loyalty is to the crown
00:16:27I don't give blind trust
00:16:29I have the killer
00:16:31If you put the murderer in front of me
00:16:34Then you have my trust
00:16:36Don't make a vow you can't keep, Commander
00:16:38You have my word
00:16:40I won't break it
00:16:46Take this
00:16:47Sew her head back on
00:16:49You want me to mutilate a royal corpse?
00:16:51Every second you wait
00:16:53She fades
00:16:57Her soul is bleeding out
00:17:01It's done
00:17:03What now?
00:17:04Open the doors
00:17:06Bring them all
00:17:08The grieving father
00:17:09The weeping mother
00:17:12Bring the prince who lost his bride
00:17:14We are going to hold a court of our own
00:17:23Isabella
00:17:24My baby
00:17:25Oh god
00:17:26Hold her back
00:17:27Don't let her touch the body
00:17:28Let me go
00:17:29That's my daughter
00:17:31Why is she here?
00:17:32Why is that blind woman in the judge's seat?
00:17:36Commander Ashworth
00:17:37She killed her
00:17:38She cursed my daughter
00:17:40And you let her sit there
00:17:41His royal highness
00:17:42Prince Kale
00:17:44Isabella
00:17:45Let me through
00:17:46Isabella
00:17:48No
00:17:48Look what they did to you
00:17:50My beautiful girl
00:17:52The audience is here
00:17:54Let the performance end
00:17:57Flesh to thread
00:17:59Bone to command
00:18:02Rise
00:18:09You demanded proof, Commander
00:18:11Behold the truth
00:18:13Behold the truth
00:18:15You wove the crimson soul thread yourself
00:18:17The bond is forged
00:18:20Ask her
00:18:23Isabella Alistam
00:18:24Is your killer here?
00:18:50Keep that thing away
00:18:52She's bewitched
00:18:59The crown is ours, father
00:19:01The crown is ours, father
00:19:16Edmund Aliston
00:19:22Now confess
00:19:24Now confess
00:19:28Edmund Aliston
00:19:30Do you confess?
00:19:32I confess to nothing
00:19:33You sick witch
00:19:35You sick witch
00:19:37You killed her
00:19:37You puppeted her corpse
00:19:39To frame us
00:19:40He took you in
00:19:42You repay us with blood
00:19:44This is madness
00:19:46A father doesn't slaughter his own blood
00:19:49Isabella was my pride
00:19:51Why would I destroy my own future?
00:19:55See the truth
00:19:56His own blood
00:19:57That's true
00:20:00But what if that girl
00:20:01Was never your blood
00:20:03At all?
00:20:05Eleanor
00:20:05Why did the emperor
00:20:07Betroth Isabella
00:20:08To Prince Kael?
00:20:10It was destiny
00:20:11The emperor declared it
00:20:13They were born
00:20:14The exact same hour
00:20:17Blessed by the gods
00:20:20Wait
00:20:20It's impossible
00:20:22Edmund
00:20:23Tell me you didn't
00:20:26I had to secure our bloodline
00:20:31Give me the child
00:20:33I must see
00:20:34Tell the truth
00:20:36Is it a boy?
00:20:37A girl, my lady
00:20:39A girl?
00:20:40No!
00:20:41You're lying!
00:20:42A daughter
00:20:43Just as I said
00:20:44Why me?
00:20:49The consort is waiting
00:20:51If it's a boy
00:20:52I'm ruined
00:20:54Breathe, my lady
00:20:55Panic is a luxury
00:20:56We can't afford
00:20:57Duke Alistair has already
00:20:59Arranged a solution
00:20:59Bring the bundle inside
00:21:01Now
00:21:05Look closely
00:21:07Pure Alistair blood
00:21:09A flawless son
00:21:10Yours, if you dare
00:21:14A son!
00:21:16From now on
00:21:17You are mine
00:21:18The true heir
00:21:20Of this house
00:21:21My son
00:21:23My heir
00:21:43You're telling this court
00:21:45I'm Duke Alistair's son
00:21:48No
00:21:48No
00:21:49No
00:21:50No
00:21:50No
00:21:50I am the crown prince
00:21:55It can't be
00:21:56How could my husband
00:21:58Do such a thing?
00:21:59This is treason
00:22:01What could he possibly want
00:22:02To risk all our lives?
00:22:04What did he want?
00:22:06Your son
00:22:07Sitting on the throne
00:22:08That's what he wanted
00:22:12You need proof
00:22:13To make such claims
00:22:14This dark sorcery
00:22:16Proves absolutely nothing
00:22:17Lord Alistair
00:22:18If I had to guess
00:22:20The moment the emperor
00:22:22Degreed Isabella's marriage
00:22:23You realized
00:22:24If she entered the royal court
00:22:25The crown would eventually
00:22:26Discover her secret
00:22:27So you hired a pack of mercenaries
00:22:29To stage a bandit raid
00:22:30On the carriage
00:22:31But Morgana's warning
00:22:32Put my guard on alert
00:22:34You feared with extra men
00:22:35Your hired killers
00:22:36Wouldn't be able to finish the job
00:22:37So you killed your own daughter
00:22:38Before she left
00:22:39And as for your loyal servants
00:22:41They break much faster
00:22:42Than paid assassins
00:22:43Commander
00:22:44Commander Ashworth
00:22:45Lord Alistair's personal guard
00:22:46They've confessed to everything
00:22:47The signed confessions
00:22:49They admit the duke
00:22:50Ordered them to silence Isabella
00:22:52Before she even left
00:22:58My entire life of scheming
00:23:02All crushed by fate's cruel hand
00:23:05The eye you granted us
00:23:07Gave House Alistair
00:23:08Absolute power
00:23:10Unmatched wealth
00:23:11Unmatched glory
00:23:13But the emperor
00:23:14Still stood above me
00:23:16Until that day
00:23:17When I saw
00:23:21I saw
00:23:22I saw the truth
00:23:28If my son took the cradle
00:23:30He'd rule the world
00:23:34But the vision didn't end there
00:23:36I saw the floor
00:23:37That would kill us
00:23:38The decree
00:23:39The royal wedding
00:23:42If Isabella entered that palace
00:23:44He would see my daughter
00:23:48He'd see the exact face
00:23:50Of the young empress
00:23:51He's not blind
00:23:54He'd know exactly what I did
00:23:56I had no choice
00:23:57You must see that
00:23:59I had to cut the rot out
00:24:01I had to protect my family
00:24:04My son will be emperor
00:24:06I had to
00:24:11Morgana, I confess it all
00:24:13Punish me alone
00:24:15I beg you
00:24:16Look at me
00:24:16Remember my father's loyalty
00:24:20Spare my wife
00:24:21He's lying
00:24:22We knew nothing
00:24:23Please
00:24:24I'm begging you
00:24:26Take my life
00:24:27But let them live
00:24:28Granted
00:24:29Thank you
00:24:30Oracle
00:24:31My life
00:24:33For theirs
00:24:34Edmund
00:24:36No
00:24:37Edmund
00:24:38No
00:24:39Edmund
00:24:41Edmund
00:24:42Please stay
00:24:44Wake up
00:24:46Please
00:24:47Don't leave me
00:25:21I gave them my sight
00:25:23To watch the dark
00:25:25Instead
00:25:26They watched the throne
00:25:28Built a lie
00:25:29Thought they could cheat fate
00:25:31Thought they owned me
00:25:33They own nothing
00:25:36I'm taking it all back
00:25:38With blood
00:25:40Mortal hands cannot hold the weight of a god
00:25:43It crushes them
00:25:46The Alistair debt is settled
00:25:48My sight is mine again
00:25:51Now
00:25:53We move to the next house
00:25:54Stop
00:25:56You can't just march in there
00:25:58This is treason
00:25:59I must alert the emperor
00:26:00No need to call the emperor
00:26:02He's already here
00:26:09God
00:26:11The emperor
00:26:16Your majesty
00:26:20By royal decree
00:26:21Prince Kale and the Empress
00:26:23Are hereby spankstripped of titles
00:26:25They shall be cast
00:26:26Into the black cells
00:26:29It shall be done
00:26:36Lady Morgana
00:26:37Lady Morgana
00:26:39It's you
00:26:39Careful sire
00:26:41Morgana
00:26:42Sire wait
00:26:43Lady Morgana
00:26:45Oh my lady Morgana
00:26:47Forgive me
00:26:49It's my fault
00:26:51It's my fault
00:26:51I was blind to let them trouble you
00:26:54I wish to name you High Protector
00:26:56To guide the realm
00:26:58Every mage alive
00:27:00Will answer only to your command
00:27:03My rule is simple
00:27:05One shard
00:27:06For one question
00:27:07You want a prophecy?
00:27:09Give me your family's
00:27:11Ancient inheritance
00:27:12The crown shard in exchange
00:27:16Right
00:27:17If you wish to reclaim the shard
00:27:20I will gladly return it
00:27:22After all
00:27:24My family owes our throne to you
00:27:26Power is a debt
00:27:26When I give
00:27:27And when I take
00:27:28Is my choice alone
00:27:30Why the rush?
00:27:33Yes
00:27:33You are completely right
00:27:35Please
00:27:36Rest at Ashermyth Palace
00:27:37Everything will grant her than
00:27:39No no
00:27:40Higher than Imperial Standards
00:27:42No need
00:27:44I am going to Asherwith Keep
00:27:45Besides
00:27:47My heart
00:27:50Currently belongs to him
00:27:58Yes, yes, of course
00:28:00Take my royal carriage
00:28:03Please, my lady
00:28:04After you
00:28:05Your grace, that is the sovereign's carriage
00:28:08It breaks royal protocol
00:28:09Shut your mouth
00:28:12Lady Morgana is the law
00:28:13Her word is absolute
00:28:15There is no protocol in this world
00:28:16That outrants her
00:28:17Isn't that right, my dear lady?
00:28:19Please
00:28:21Mind the step, my lady
00:28:23Careful now
00:28:24Very careful
00:28:26Commander Ashworth
00:28:27Your grace
00:28:28If she suffers even a scratch
00:28:29I swear to God
00:28:30I will hang every last member
00:28:32Of your retted house
00:28:33Do I make myself clear?
00:28:35Crystal clear, your grace
00:28:37My dear Lady Morgana
00:28:38I have just remembered
00:28:40Some urgent matters of state
00:28:42To attend to
00:28:43I must take my leave
00:28:48You serve Lady Morgana now
00:28:50Farewell
00:28:51Have a pleasant journey
00:28:56Earlier you said
00:28:57That I had your heart
00:28:59What the hell does that mean?
00:29:00Sixty years ago
00:29:02My heart was carved from my chest
00:29:05It is not with you
00:29:09It is in your house
00:29:11My house?
00:29:15This way, Lady Morgana
00:29:17Thanks to your grace
00:29:18Sixty years ago
00:29:19When you bestowed
00:29:20The Heartmen Shard upon us
00:29:22The Ashworth name
00:29:22Is now renowned
00:29:23For our healing arts
00:29:24You see
00:29:25These afflicted souls
00:29:27Travel from the furthest corners
00:29:28Of the kingdom
00:29:29Seeking our aid
00:29:30So
00:29:31The legendary Ashworth healing arts
00:29:34Actually came from you
00:29:37Tell me then
00:29:38Just how old are you exactly?
00:29:41Does it matter to you?
00:29:43Please my lord
00:29:44Save my mother
00:29:45Wake up mama
00:29:46Somebody help her
00:29:48Have mercy
00:29:48Please help my mother
00:29:49I beg of you
00:29:51This is all the coin I have
00:29:53Please
00:29:55Show some mercy
00:29:56A handful of dirty coppers
00:29:58And you expect the master's healing
00:30:00For that
00:30:01Get out of here
00:30:02Now
00:30:03Stop wasting everyone's time
00:30:04Selina
00:30:08Cedric
00:30:08You're finally home
00:30:10When I gave your family the shard
00:30:12It was to heal the broken
00:30:14To serve the realm
00:30:16Not to exploit the weak
00:30:17You have broken the pact
00:30:19Give the fragment back
00:30:20Who do you think you are?
00:30:22How dare a commoner like you
00:30:24Make demands in Ashwild Key
00:30:26Silence
00:30:26Show her respect
00:30:29This is Selina Frost
00:30:31A ward
00:30:32Taken in by my father
00:30:35Selina
00:30:35We heal the sick
00:30:37Regardless of coin
00:30:38Have you forgotten?
00:30:39Go to the chapel
00:30:40Pray
00:30:41Beg her forgiveness
00:30:42You heard him
00:30:43To the chapel now
00:30:47I beg your pardon my lady
00:30:48I had no idea she was extorting them
00:30:52Rest assured
00:30:53The Ashwoods honor your gift
00:30:55We'd never turn away the poor
00:30:57Most days
00:30:58We treat all these commoners
00:30:59Without asking for any money
00:31:02I said return the shard
00:31:06Or do you mean to defy me?
00:31:08No, no
00:31:09The relic
00:31:10Is rightfully yours
00:31:11I will return it to you
00:31:13Immediately
00:31:13It is just
00:31:15The Hartman shard
00:31:16Is kept safe by my eldest
00:31:18Marin
00:31:18She's been in seclusion
00:31:20At a distant abbey for years
00:31:21Once she returns from her retreat
00:31:23I will present it to you myself
00:31:24Fine
00:31:25I will wait
00:31:31Every time I return
00:31:34She still won't see me
00:31:37Fifteen years
00:31:37Fifteen years
00:31:38Since I've laid eyes on her
00:31:39Does she really despise me that much?
00:31:42Why do you think she treats you
00:31:43With such coldness?
00:31:46Because of what I did
00:31:48She hates me
00:31:50When I was a boy
00:31:51I almost died
00:31:53My sister came for me
00:31:55And the iron drove through her right arm
00:31:57In my place
00:31:58She was never the same again
00:32:03She was a master healer
00:32:04Those gifted hands
00:32:06She could bring the dying back to life
00:32:08But because of me
00:32:10The scar on her arm never faded
00:32:12And she was taken from me forever
00:32:14She became a completely different person after that
00:32:16The Hartman shard was hers by birthright
00:32:20With its power
00:32:21She became the greatest healer in the kingdom
00:32:23And then they sent her far away
00:32:24To a quiet abbey
00:32:26Where she could practice in peace
00:32:28But I know the truth
00:32:30That day
00:32:31Became a thorn in her heart
00:32:33One that will never be pulled out
00:32:35Every time she looks at me
00:32:36She remembers what saving me cost her
00:32:39Everything is bound by consequence, Commander
00:32:41You see only the branches above the soil
00:32:44But you are blind to the roots below
00:32:47What is that supposed to mean?
00:32:49You will know soon enough
00:32:55My knees are hurting
00:32:56I'll fetch the salve
00:32:59Cedric just got back
00:33:01And he's already screaming at me because of her
00:33:04She's an honoured guest
00:33:05Even Lord Ashworth had to apologise to her
00:33:07Master Cedric serves her
00:33:09People are whispering
00:33:11She might be his future bride
00:33:13His future bride?
00:33:15Look at her
00:33:16She's a freak
00:33:17With that filthy black rags
00:33:20She doesn't deserve Cedric
00:33:26Crone
00:33:26What is that?
00:33:29Honey cakes
00:33:29Master Cedric's favourite
00:33:31And imperial spiced wine
00:33:33For Lady Morgana
00:33:35Halt
00:33:37Imperial spiced wine?
00:33:39A gift from the Emperor himself
00:33:41It's worth a fortune
00:33:42You really know how to grovel
00:33:46Give it here
00:33:49Healers always keep the best poisons
00:33:52This widow's kiss is lethal
00:33:55No taste
00:33:56No cure
00:33:57Drink up, Morgana
00:33:59Go
00:34:00Take it to her
00:34:02I cannot, my lady
00:34:03She is Master Cedric's guest
00:34:07Know your place
00:34:09Without Ashfield Charity
00:34:11A useless old crone
00:34:13Would be rotting in the gutter
00:34:16Pathetic
00:34:21I am disciplining a servant
00:34:23Since when does a blind freak
00:34:25Interfere with Ashfield affairs?
00:34:27If your tongue serves only to offend
00:34:29Then you should not speak at all
00:34:34Morgana
00:34:36You little piece of
00:34:38My lady, what is it?
00:34:39My lady, what's wrong?
00:34:40Please, say something
00:34:41What's doing this?
00:34:43Guards, help us
00:34:44Get Lord Aldric
00:34:45She's choking
00:34:46She can't breathe
00:34:47Lord Aldric
00:34:48Please, hurry
00:34:49I'm right here
00:34:50Just breathe
00:34:51She suddenly lost her voice
00:34:54Selene is just a foolish girl
00:34:56She didn't mean to offend you
00:34:57I will make her apologise to you at once
00:34:59What are you waiting for?
00:35:01Apologise
00:35:02Now
00:35:02Are you deaf?
00:35:03Do you want to be mute forever?
00:35:09My lady
00:35:12I don't want your apology
00:35:14Kneel to the one you truly wronged
00:35:17Please, no
00:35:18I'm nobody
00:35:19A lady cannot kneel to me
00:35:21I'm just a servant
00:35:22Silence!
00:35:23Just be grateful
00:35:24Every brick in this house
00:35:26Rests on the Hartman Shard
00:35:28She built our legacy
00:35:31Oracle, I beg you
00:35:33She's terrified
00:35:35Let it be enough
00:35:36Please, have mercy
00:35:44Your mercy is boundless, my lady
00:35:46I will discipline the girl at once
00:35:49Come, my lady
00:35:50Let us go
00:35:55Are you hurt?
00:35:57I am fine, my lord
00:35:59You've grown so thin
00:36:01The northern winds have been cruel to you
00:36:03You must stay longer this time
00:36:06Your name day is soon
00:36:07I knitted you a pair of thick winter gloves
00:36:10Let me fetch them for you
00:36:12Wait right here for me
00:36:15That old woman
00:36:17Her devotion to you is genuine
00:36:20It is
00:36:21She has been here since I was a boy
00:36:24Always kind to me
00:36:25When I was injured as a boy
00:36:26She sneaked me pouches
00:36:28And every year on my name day
00:36:30When my own sister was lost to me
00:36:33She brought me warm broth and fresh bread
00:36:36With her
00:36:37I almost remember what having a sister felt like
00:36:40If that is true
00:36:41You should show her more grace while you can
00:36:43I have seen the shadow on her
00:36:46She has but a few days left
00:36:49Do not wait until tomorrow
00:36:50To realise what you have lost
00:36:56Listen to me, child
00:36:57Never cross paths with Morgana again
00:37:00She thinks she owns us
00:37:02Patience, my sweet girl
00:37:04I'm securing your future
00:37:06Play the game
00:37:08Let her think she's win
00:37:10Soon, everything will be yours
00:37:13Lady Morgana
00:37:14Lady Ashfield has sent me
00:37:16To return the Hartman Shard
00:37:18To its rightful owner
00:37:19We have heard
00:37:21When you take back what is yours
00:37:23You offer a reading in return
00:37:25Lady Ashworth has written her question
00:37:28Right here on this parchment
00:37:30Take it, Cedric
00:37:36I will not answer this question
00:37:39Because the Hartman Shard is a fake
00:37:41What?
00:37:44A fake?
00:37:46Someone must have switched it when she wasn't looking
00:37:48I'll get to the bottom of this
00:37:50Tonight
00:37:51Don't
00:37:52What is mine
00:37:54Will always return to my hands
00:37:57Lady Morgana
00:37:58Commander Ashford
00:38:02The Emperor begs your aid
00:38:04The Empress' door wager is dying
00:38:06The Royal Physicians can do nothing for her
00:38:08His Majesty demands you come at once
00:38:10Please, my lady
00:38:11You are her only hope
00:38:16Lead the way
00:38:19Useless fools!
00:38:20What good are you if she dies?
00:38:23Your Majesty
00:38:24Lady Morgana has arrived
00:38:30Morgana, thank the gods you have come
00:38:31Please, you must help her
00:38:33Mother is...
00:38:34Her flame has burned out
00:38:35Her time is over
00:38:38Prepare the crypt
00:38:39Lies!
00:38:40That is a lie!
00:38:41Your Majesty
00:38:44I can save the Empress
00:38:48Morgana
00:38:49If you can't save her
00:38:51Stop making pathetic excuses
00:38:53I say
00:38:54You have no real power
00:38:56You're nothing but a fraudulent witch
00:38:58Selina!
00:38:59This is a royal chamber, not your playground!
00:39:02Your Grace
00:39:02I can heal her
00:39:03On my life
00:39:05Selina Frost
00:39:06You should know
00:39:07Cedric knows it well
00:39:09My prophecies are never wrong
00:39:11Care to make a wager, then?
00:39:14On what?
00:39:15If I win
00:39:15I want the Emperor
00:39:17To decree my marriage to Cedric
00:39:19And I want your head
00:39:21Severed from your neck
00:39:23Your Grace
00:39:23Madness!
00:39:24This is absolute madness!
00:39:26Gods!
00:39:27Drag this madwoman away!
00:39:29I accept
00:39:35Very well
00:39:36Give it a try
00:39:37If you truly cure my mother
00:39:40I will grant your every wish
00:39:49So you stole the Hartman's schnaz?
00:39:52Cedric
00:39:52I'll be a master healer
00:39:55Just like your sister
00:39:56Then you'll finally see
00:39:58I'm the only one for you
00:40:00Forcing fate
00:40:02Only brings ruin
00:40:04If you insist on this path
00:40:06You alone will choke on the ashes
00:40:11Save your cheap parlor tricks
00:40:13Healing the sick is God's work
00:40:14There's no price for that
00:40:17By the old blood
00:40:19I command the vessel
00:40:21Take the living spark
00:40:22Feed the dying flame
00:40:27Awaken
00:40:31Wake up!
00:40:35Wake up!
00:40:39Wake up!
00:40:40Wake up!
00:40:42Wake up!
00:40:43Wake up!
00:40:44Wake up!
00:40:46Wake up!
00:40:47Wake up!
00:40:47Wake up!
00:40:47Wake up!
00:40:47Wake up!
00:40:47Wake up!
00:40:47Wake up!
00:40:48Wake up!
00:40:48Wake up!
00:40:49Wake up!
00:40:50Wake up!
00:40:51Wake up!
00:40:52Wake up!
00:40:54Wake up!
00:40:58Wake up!
00:40:59Wake up!
00:41:05Mother! Mother! Wake up!
00:41:11My face! No! How did this happen?
00:41:17You stole my magic, but you never asked, when the spell steals a living spark, whose spark does it take?
00:41:28Whose life did you think you were spending? The Ashworth Empire isn't built on medicine. It's built on a parasite.
00:41:36It trades your years for theirs. A simple fever costs you a month. A fatal wound strips the youth right
00:41:45off your bones.
00:41:48Sick Empress was already dead. Her time was up. Give her every hour you have left. It won't buy her
00:41:55a single day.
00:41:57Then what about Maren? Explain Maren!
00:42:00She bore the Shard for thirty years. Pulled thousands from the grave.
00:42:04Then she should be dust! She should be a rotting corpse! Why is she flawless? Why not her? Look at
00:42:12me! It took everything! My skin, my life! Why just me?
00:42:18You said she was perfect.
00:42:21Cedric, you believe she hid from you for ten years. It never crossed your mind that the woman she became
00:42:28was standing right in front of you. And you looked right through her.
00:42:34Stop. What does that mean?
00:42:36Maren, you're a commander. Open your eyes. Every year on your birthday, that old servant, the only one who still
00:42:44cooks for you. Who is she, Cedric?
00:42:50Lord Cedric, wait!
00:42:51You can't go in!
00:42:52My lord! She said no visitors!
00:42:54My lord!
00:42:57You can't be in!
00:43:01Maren.
00:43:03Gods.
00:43:04It's really you.
00:43:08Move along.
00:43:10Get out.
00:43:11Move!
00:43:11Before I drag you out!
00:43:15Know who stands before you.
00:43:16My lord, I did not know.
00:43:18Maren.
00:43:19My lord, you're mistaken.
00:43:21She's not Maren.
00:43:23She's just an old crone.
00:43:24Nothing more.
00:43:25My lord!
00:43:26Get out.
00:43:27Yes, my lord!
00:43:33My lord, I'm nobody.
00:43:35Just an old crone.
00:43:37Nobody of importance.
00:43:39Just a servant.
00:43:40This is the inner sanctum.
00:43:42Only the bloodline.
00:43:43Only the Hartman Shard-bearer can come here.
00:43:47Let me see you.
00:43:57That scar.
00:44:00Where did this scar come from?
00:44:02Only Maren bore this mark.
00:44:06Maren?
00:44:09Why didn't you tell me?
00:44:13Why?
00:44:14All these years, why didn't you tell me?
00:44:18Every time I used the Shard, it stole a year of my life.
00:44:23Burned away.
00:44:24Then one morning, I looked in the glass.
00:44:27White hair.
00:44:28Hands shaking like a crone.
00:44:30Maren!
00:44:31Let me in!
00:44:32My lord, no!
00:44:33Get off!
00:44:34I want my sister!
00:44:36Let me go!
00:44:38Maren!
00:44:39I couldn't let you see a monster.
00:44:41No. Stop it.
00:44:44Don't ever say that.
00:44:45Look at me.
00:44:46You are Maren.
00:44:48The bravest person I know.
00:44:50But I abandoned you.
00:44:52You gave me your entire life.
00:44:54And I was blind.
00:44:56I didn't see my own sister.
00:44:58I'm sorry.
00:44:59Oh, my brave little brother.
00:45:01It's all right now.
00:45:02No.
00:45:10Cedric.
00:45:11Tomorrow is your name day.
00:45:13I haven't made your broth yet.
00:45:15Maren, please.
00:45:16Just rest.
00:45:18You made it for me every year.
00:45:20My whole life.
00:45:21Tomorrow, I'll make it for you.
00:45:29This is my fault.
00:45:30I looked right at her and saw nothing.
00:45:32She hid her hands, traded her life away, and I just stood there.
00:45:36He used the Heartmen Shard to drain her year by year while I watched and called it nothing.
00:45:41She made a choice.
00:45:43The Shard needed a vessel.
00:45:45She offered herself.
00:45:47She healed them.
00:45:48She gave them time.
00:45:50She gave you time.
00:45:52That was all she ever wanted.
00:45:53I looked right past her for years.
00:45:58For stripping away every excuse I had.
00:46:00I have her back.
00:46:02Whatever it cost you, I swear on my blade I will repay that debt.
00:46:06She hasn't eaten in days.
00:46:07I made this for her.
00:46:08I don't know if she'll want it, but I need to give her something.
00:46:11I'm gonna take it to her now.
00:46:12Wait.
00:46:14Something wrong?
00:46:16It's nothing.
00:46:18Go to her.
00:46:19I won't be long.
00:46:29Maren!
00:46:31Maren, wake up!
00:46:32No, no, please!
00:46:34Maren!
00:46:36The scale always balances.
00:46:40Get away from me!
00:46:43Don't touch me!
00:46:45I want my sister!
00:46:47Get away!
00:46:49Where is she?
00:46:54Cedric!
00:46:55I want my sister!
00:46:57Cedric.
00:46:58I'm here.
00:47:00Look at me.
00:47:01Don't touch me!
00:47:02You old witch!
00:47:07She's dead, isn't she?
00:47:09She left me.
00:47:10Everyone always leaves!
00:47:13But I'm staying.
00:47:17I'm not going anywhere.
00:47:19I'm here.
00:47:21I'm here.
00:47:22Right here.
00:47:22I've got you.
00:47:43I'm here.
00:47:49I'm here.
00:47:50I've got her.
00:47:51Her life.
00:47:52I watched her disappear.
00:47:55Day by day.
00:47:57If the gods would take me instead, I'd go willingly.
00:48:01And yet you stood there.
00:48:02Every scar on her body, every year taken from her.
00:48:07His hands did that.
00:48:09All of it.
00:48:11Every shriveled vein on Maren's hands.
00:48:13Every year carved from her face.
00:48:16He arranged all of it.
00:48:18Her life meant nothing to him.
00:48:20He only cared about the gold.
00:48:22The price her dying breath could buy.
00:48:25Oracle, please.
00:48:27Everyone here knows the Ashworth name.
00:48:29We heal the sick.
00:48:30We never ask for coin.
00:48:32We serve the people.
00:48:34You cannot just walk in here and spread lies about my family.
00:48:39If you took no coin, then tell me what you've been hiding in the dark.
00:48:44Every transaction.
00:48:46Every name.
00:48:48Every debt you buried.
00:49:04These are property deeds.
00:49:06Hundreds of them.
00:49:06The Ash House fled the High Lords dry in secret.
00:49:09They traded healing for mansions.
00:49:11For land.
00:49:13We thought you were a saint, Uldric.
00:49:15You're nothing but a leech.
00:49:17A parasite.
00:49:18You stole my sister's life.
00:49:20You drained Maren dry to build your filthy empire and left her to rot in the dirt.
00:49:25She gave everything and you ground her bones into your crown.
00:49:29That is not the whole of his sin.
00:49:31When Maren's face withered from what he forced on her, he turned away from her.
00:49:37He took a lover in secret.
00:49:39A secret mistress.
00:49:41A hidden life.
00:49:43There is no one.
00:49:44You are lying!
00:49:45The child you had with her has been living under this very roof.
00:49:49You call her your ward.
00:49:50You let her do as she pleases.
00:49:53Do you deny that Selene is your blood?
00:49:57You gave Selene full run of this house.
00:50:00Is she your bastard?
00:50:02Is that why you let her destroy my sister?
00:50:05Oracle.
00:50:07I have always bowed to your vision.
00:50:09You cannot lay this at my feet.
00:50:11I am innocent if there was money missing from the patients.
00:50:15Maren did it herself.
00:50:17Plain greed.
00:50:18She used the sick to line her own pockets.
00:50:27Look out! Get back!
00:50:31That's gold.
00:50:32He hid it in the tablet.
00:50:37The heavens don't care for your lives.
00:50:39But I do.
00:50:41You built a dynasty on stolen breath.
00:50:44You are no heir to what I left here.
00:50:46You are a parasite.
00:50:50My sister is dead.
00:50:53She died a ruined servant under your roof.
00:50:57And you dare stand over her coffin and call her a thief!
00:51:00I will cut you apart right here!
00:51:03Cedric, be reasonable.
00:51:04Look at what she had become.
00:51:05Who could look at that face and not be sickened?
00:51:08You are no blood of mine.
00:51:11You are nothing to me.
00:51:12Is this my fault?
00:51:14I would have taken the burden on myself.
00:51:16I swear it!
00:51:17But the healer's grace, it binds only to the women.
00:51:20It rejected me.
00:51:21It was never my choice.
00:51:22We kept her fed.
00:51:24Kept a roof over her head.
00:51:25She owed this family her service.
00:51:27It was her duty to plead for us!
00:51:30A lie.
00:51:31I forged the healer's grace.
00:51:33I wrote its laws.
00:51:35It does not choose by blood or gender.
00:51:38It chooses by the will to sacrifice.
00:51:40It rejected you because it looked inside your chest and found nothing at all.
00:51:45You let a child wither in your place and called it fate.
00:51:49You said you wished to carry the burden.
00:51:51You wanted the ember's power for yourself.
00:51:55You wanted it all.
00:51:58Very well.
00:52:02Let us see how much of it you can bear.
00:52:10Very well.
00:52:35No!
00:52:37Get off me!
00:52:38I am the lord of this!
00:52:42No!
00:52:43No!
00:52:45No!
00:52:46No!
00:52:48No!
00:52:50No!
00:52:50No!
00:52:51No!
00:52:53No!
00:52:53No!
00:52:56Every year he stole from Maren.
00:52:59They just ripped it back.
00:53:14They just ripped it back.
00:53:19Maren!
00:53:20Can you hear me?
00:53:21Look at me!
00:53:24You...
00:53:25You came back.
00:53:29You're breathing.
00:53:31I watched you stop.
00:53:33I thought you were gone.
00:53:34You're shaking.
00:53:36Your birthday is soon.
00:53:38I still owe you bread and broth.
00:53:40I'll make it myself.
00:53:42Just don't close your eyes again.
00:53:45Promise me that.
00:53:46Her face still carries what the years cost her.
00:53:49But the thirty years Aldric took from her have been stripped from his bones.
00:53:54They're hers now.
00:53:55Her hand is healed.
00:53:57The debt is paid.
00:53:58She will never serve in the dark again.
00:54:00She lives.
00:54:01The transaction is complete.
00:54:07Oracle.
00:54:08You didn't owe us this.
00:54:10I will carry this mercy until my last breath.
00:54:18You gave my sister back her life.
00:54:20My life is no longer my own.
00:54:23It belongs to you.
00:54:25Every breath I draw belongs to your cause.
00:54:27I am your shield.
00:54:28Your blade.
00:54:29Point me at your enemies.
00:54:31Wherever you walk, I walk with you.
00:54:34Until my blood runs cold.
00:54:42Remember your oath.
00:54:56The Hartman Shard.
00:54:58It's time it returned to you.
00:55:00You took another piece of your power straight into yourself.
00:55:03Will you absorb this one too?
00:55:18I have a segment of the new world.
00:55:20I am with my friends.
00:55:20I have my friends.
00:55:21One more time.
00:55:23I am.
00:55:23I have a friend.
00:55:26I am a friend.
00:55:34I am.
00:55:34I am.
00:55:36Please! Help us! Have mercy!
00:55:43Talk to me. Did the exorcism drain you? Are you hurt?
00:55:48I am not hurt. When I pulled the Heartman Shard from your sister, I absorbed 30 years of her memories.
00:55:54Every single day she spent trapped in that house.
00:55:57There's an echo now. A pressure in my chest.
00:56:01You have a rule. You reclaim a piece of your power. You owe the bloodline one truth. One ember. One
00:56:07question.
00:56:09Maren gave her whole youth to keep me alive. She never got to ask her question.
00:56:15Maren.
00:56:16So I'll ask it for her. Look into your prophecy, Morgana. Did my sister's sacrifice mean anything? Tell me.
00:56:25Your sister asked what waits for you in the North. I didn't lie to her. So I'll tell you exactly
00:56:30what I saw.
00:56:31There is a line drawn across your fate. A terminal point. If you follow me to Ironwall, if you walk
00:56:38into Ravencrest at my side, you will stand before someone and bleed until there is nothing left.
00:56:44And you will die. That is the end of it.
00:56:47In front of who? Who do I bleed for?
00:56:51Me. Knowing this. Knowing that every step north is a step towards your own grave.
00:56:58And you still want to come with me. Forget it. It doesn't matter.
00:57:04You are ordered to stay behind. I walk into Ironwall alone. I don't need a shield.
00:57:11I swore an oath to you. I stand between you and whatever comes. I'm going.
00:57:21I told you how this ends. Are you not afraid?
00:57:27I lead the Obsidian Guard. I have walked into the dark more times than I can count.
00:57:33Every time, they said I wouldn't walk out.
00:57:37Every time, they said the odds were broken.
00:57:39And I am still standing here.
00:57:42Let them come. I will survive it.
00:57:43And I will walk you out of Ironwall myself.
00:57:57I am Cedric Ashworth, commander of the Obsidian Guards. Hold the gates.
00:58:02Guards.
00:58:02They're here. Fall back. Bar the gates.
00:58:09Let's go, Ray.
00:58:19Ring of Steel. Protect Morgana.
00:58:28Ash to ash. Darkness gates. Gone.
00:58:52This malice. I know it.
00:58:55She broke them. Who goes there?
00:58:58Morgana.
00:58:59Lady Morgana!
00:59:01Forgive me. My grandfather speaks of you often.
00:59:06And you are?
00:59:07Finn Ravenkest, my lady.
00:59:09Grandson to Patriarch Thorn.
00:59:11Morgana.
00:59:13Smile for me.
00:59:14You look best when you smile.
00:59:16Foolish.
00:59:26You must think I'm completely useless with a blade.
00:59:28I've been sickly since childhood.
00:59:30My sister-in-law handles the killing.
00:59:32She lets me read instead.
00:59:34I apologize for the gate.
00:59:36It's just...
00:59:37Lately.
00:59:37The moment the sun sets, the dead walk.
00:59:40Vesta fears the undead soldiers breaching the walls.
00:59:43Slaughtering our people.
00:59:45Please forgive the locked gates, my lady.
00:59:47These undead outside your walls.
00:59:48What is their origin?
00:59:50We don't know.
00:59:51Not since my grandfather fell.
00:59:53They don't discern friend from foe.
00:59:54They just butcher.
00:59:56For six months we've been trapped here.
00:59:58Powerless.
00:59:59Thorn was injured?
01:00:01Yes.
01:00:02Ambushed by the dead weeks ago.
01:00:04He hasn't woken since.
01:00:06Take me to him.
01:00:08Of course.
01:00:09Finn!
01:00:16You dare test me, boy?
01:00:18Who authorized you to breach the protocol?
01:00:21Who gave you leave to welcome stray vagras into my fortress?
01:00:26Do Frost Stokes' laws mean nothing to you?
01:00:28Vesper, wait.
01:00:29This is Lady Morgana.
01:00:31Grandfather foresaw this.
01:00:32He said a woman named Morgana would come for the Shard.
01:00:35We must show her absolute respect.
01:00:37The Patriarch is dying.
01:00:39He needs silence, not scavengers chasing fairy tales.
01:00:42Commander Vesper.
01:00:44Even the Emperor bows to Lady Morgana.
01:00:47I suggest you mind your tone before I cut out your tongue.
01:00:51Damn your southern king!
01:00:53Here, we follow north laws.
01:00:55Your laws.
01:00:57Tell me.
01:00:59What does the north demand?
01:01:01You want to see him?
01:01:02Bleed for it.
01:01:04Best me in combat.
01:01:06Win, and you get your audience.
01:01:08And your precious shard.
01:01:09Lose, and you crawl back south.
01:01:13Frostbite does not serve the weak.
01:01:15I'll gladly test your iron, Commander.
01:01:17Good.
01:01:18A real man.
01:01:19Bring me my steel.
01:01:24Morgana.
01:01:25My sister-in-law is a monster on the battlefield.
01:01:28She holds the true bloodline.
01:01:30No one beats her.
01:01:31Is this it, then?
01:01:33The day you've foreseen I would die.
01:01:55He's hurt.
01:01:56He will not die.
01:02:00You're playing with time!
01:02:18Well fought.
01:02:20Your form is decent.
01:02:22But you fight like you fear death.
01:02:25Always leaving room to retreat.
01:02:27Remember, a real enemy won't give you quarter.
01:02:31The only way to outlive them is to care less about dying.
01:02:35Mother!
01:02:36Mother!
01:02:40There's my little bird.
01:02:42You promised me we'd practice archery today.
01:02:46I know.
01:02:47Go grab your bow.
01:02:48I know I'm coming.
01:02:48Okay.
01:02:52When you have something you can't leave behind,
01:02:55then teach me to fight.
01:02:57Tomorrow, I will grant you an audience for the Patriarch.
01:03:03You see?
01:03:04I am still breathing.
01:03:05If you had truly defied my vision,
01:03:09now that would be interesting.
01:03:14My lady, the North is freezing.
01:03:17I brought you these heavy furs.
01:03:19Your concern is noted, boy.
01:03:21But she has no need for such common scraps.
01:03:24These are royal pelts from...
01:03:29Gods.
01:03:31What in the world is this?
01:03:33It's so soft.
01:03:34It doesn't even feel like wool.
01:03:36It feels like water.
01:03:38These deep red shapes here.
01:03:40What kind of flower is this?
01:03:42A rose.
01:03:43The sovereign of flowers.
01:03:45A rose.
01:03:46It's beautiful.
01:03:47I can't even imagine it.
01:03:49So this is what the South grows.
01:03:52Here in Frostspike, the winter never ends.
01:03:54The ground is iron.
01:03:56Nothing this fragile could ever survive the frost.
01:04:00If it pleases you, boy,
01:04:01help us reclaim the sherd from your keep.
01:04:04And this mantle is yours to keep.
01:04:07Truly?
01:04:08You swear on your honor?
01:04:10On my blood.
01:04:12Done.
01:04:13I'll get ready.
01:04:17You barter with the boy
01:04:19because you are certain
01:04:20that Vesta will not surrender the shard.
01:04:25Two years ago at the Bloodwater Siege,
01:04:28Vesta's husband
01:04:29begged the Emperor for reinforcements.
01:04:32But the royal court was busy
01:04:33preparing the Emperor's Jubilee.
01:04:35The army never marched.
01:04:36Her husband died in the mud,
01:04:37left her and the child alone.
01:04:40Vesta has every reason to hate the crown.
01:04:43She struck a deal with the enemy.
01:04:46You are wrong.
01:04:49You said we were seeing the Patriarch.
01:04:51Why bring us to a crypt?
01:04:52Whatever you see in there,
01:04:53hold your nerve.
01:04:55My grandfather rests inside.
01:04:57Please, this way.
01:05:14What?
01:05:19Is this?
01:05:20It is Thorn.
01:05:22Yes.
01:05:23Since the ambush six months ago,
01:05:25this crust began to form.
01:05:27It started around his wounds,
01:05:29then it spread,
01:05:30swallowing him whole.
01:05:32How many healers have you called?
01:05:34All of them.
01:05:35None could break it.
01:05:52This isn't a sickness, is it?
01:05:54It is his own madness.
01:05:56His madness?
01:05:57Thorn's natural life
01:05:59ended in the snow
01:06:01six months ago.
01:06:05But his fury
01:06:06anchored him here.
01:06:09He refuses to pass on.
01:06:10And the shard buried within him
01:06:12gave his wrath a physical form,
01:06:15spawning the dead that batter your gates,
01:06:18while this stone shell
01:06:20devours his remaining soul.
01:06:21The undead.
01:06:24They came from my grandfather's own mind?
01:06:28What kind of nightmare
01:06:29could be powerful enough
01:06:31to breed an entire army of corpses?
01:06:37What is happening?
01:06:43The dead are marching in daylight.
01:06:47I'll hold the line!
01:06:48Gather the men!
01:06:50My lady, I'm begging you!
01:06:52Save Frostbike!
01:06:53Take the shard back!
01:06:54It's right there in his chest!
01:06:56Please, just take it!
01:06:57I beg you!
01:07:00Yes.
01:07:01But the shard must be freely given.
01:07:04Even I cannot carve it out by force.
01:07:06I will pull Thorn back from the dark.
01:07:09Do not let them interrupt me.
01:07:11This pennant will hold the dead.
01:07:13Plant it beyond the gates.
01:07:14It will buy me time.
01:07:16If the ward fails,
01:07:18if the dead breach the line,
01:07:21or if you are overrun,
01:07:23do not die for me.
01:07:25Leave.
01:07:26My orders stand.
01:07:28You are my charge.
01:07:30I do not break the line.
01:07:46I remember a boy.
01:07:49One who chased my shadow,
01:07:51always begging for stories.
01:07:53Now,
01:07:55reduced to stone.
01:07:59Veil lift.
01:08:01Flesh bind.
01:08:04Awaken.
01:08:07Thorn.
01:08:10Ashworth!
01:08:11Her magic broke!
01:08:12She's bleeding!
01:08:24She's bleeding!
01:08:37Finn, what are you doing?
01:08:39I'm done pretending, Commander.
01:08:42Did you honestly think Vesper was the one who crippled my grandfather?
01:08:45It was me who left the gate wide open.
01:08:48So,
01:08:49you're the rat.
01:08:50They butchered your parents,
01:08:52slaughtered your own brothers,
01:08:53they bled Frostbear dry,
01:08:55and you sold us out to the monsters?
01:08:59Sold us out?
01:09:00Monsters?
01:09:01Better than being the crown's lapdog.
01:09:03Why should we bleed for them?
01:09:04Our ancestors all followed Morgana.
01:09:06We were equals once,
01:09:08but because they got different shards,
01:09:09some get to rule the capital,
01:09:11some get the gold,
01:09:12and what did the Raincreeps get?
01:09:13Three generations rotting in this frozen wasteland,
01:09:16bleeding out in the ice.
01:09:17Just another name on a tombstone,
01:09:20waiting to be wiped out.
01:09:22I won't let it end like this!
01:09:24I'm going to tear Frostfire down,
01:09:27break the chains they put on us!
01:09:29I saw Morgana use this.
01:09:31It commands the dead.
01:09:33I hold the power now.
01:09:41Isn't that right?
01:10:11Let's go.
01:10:56Let's go.
01:11:04Sister, I... what is happening to me? Where are we?
01:11:09Your mortal life is ended, but your obsession anchored you here.
01:11:14Your soul was twisted by inner demons and the Shard.
01:11:18You are nothing but a lingering phantom now.
01:11:42Yes.
01:11:46I remember the vow.
01:11:49I gave you my word to hold this fortress, to bleed for the innocent.
01:11:56But the dead are here.
01:11:59The wolves are at the gates.
01:12:02I... I dare not leave.
01:12:04Enough, Thorn.
01:12:06You have bled enough.
01:12:08Your bloodline.
01:12:11Your men.
01:12:12Your men.
01:12:14Your men.
01:12:15Let's go.
01:12:47Let the Obsession die.
01:12:51You must go.
01:12:54Whatever my sister commands, Thorn will always obey.
01:13:01But before I return the Shard, Morgana, may I ask you one question?
01:13:12What did you want to ask?
01:13:16All these years, alone in the dark.
01:13:24Were you alright, Morgana?
01:13:40You won't touch her!
01:13:44I was fine.
01:13:49That is good.
01:13:54I did.
01:13:55I did.
01:14:04I did.
01:14:08I did.
01:14:17I did.
01:14:29Witch.
01:14:42So, this is the death you saw for me.
01:14:46You are never wrong.
01:14:50Morgana, it seems I won't be here to help you take back what is yours.
01:15:12Morgana.
01:15:14I make no grand claims.
01:15:16But I swear, I will help you take it all back.
01:15:24Aaaaaaahhh!
01:15:28Aaaaaaah!
01:15:45Aaaaaaah!
01:15:54Aaaaaaah!
01:15:55This world is sick.
01:15:57Aaaaaah!
01:16:26Aaaaaah!
01:16:56Aaaaaah!
01:17:26Aaaaaah!
01:17:33Aaaaaah!
01:17:54Aaaaaah!
01:17:55Aaaaaah!
01:18:06Aaaaaah!
01:18:24Aaaaaah!
01:18:49Aaaaaah!
01:19:19Aaaaaah!
01:19:33Aaaaaah!
01:19:38Aaaaaah!
01:19:40Aaaaaah!
01:19:49Aaaaaah!
01:19:51Aaaaaah!
01:19:52Aaaaaah!
01:19:52Aaaaaah!
01:19:53Aaaaaah!
01:19:54Aaaaaah!
01:19:55Aaaaaah!
01:19:55Would you still draw your blade for me, knowing it will only lead to your grave?
01:20:00I am going.
01:20:02I have commanded the Vanguard for years.
01:20:05I have faced death more times than I can count.
01:20:08But I have never lost.
01:20:10And I will not lose this time either.
01:20:37Aaaaaah!
01:20:46My lady, forgive me.
01:20:49Assassins!
01:21:05This southern blood magic.
01:21:08They say one puppet butchers ten men, and I tore them apart before they could even blink.
01:21:13I feel like I could rip through solid iron.
01:21:15You were bleeding to death.
01:21:17No medicine could save you.
01:21:19So I bound a fraction of my shard to your fading heart.
01:21:22Tethered your life to mine.
01:21:24With my power in your veins, no mortal man can stand against you.
01:21:28You could have run.
01:21:30You chose to stay.
01:21:33You accepted my gift.
01:21:35From now on, you are bound to my will.
01:21:38Are we clear?
01:21:42So I am no better than these husks?
01:21:44I'm just your puppet?
01:21:46Do not compare yourself to such pathetic trash.
01:21:50They are nothing like you.
01:21:53You.
01:21:56You are my masterpiece.
01:22:00No.
01:22:10It's not that you are.
01:22:12It's not that you are.
01:22:14You are my one.
01:22:17But it's not that you are not.
01:22:20You are my one.
01:22:24You're my one.
01:22:26You're my one.
01:22:27My lady, you always said your prophecies are absolute, never wrong.
01:22:32To give me the shard, to force me to live, isn't this defying the gods themselves?
01:22:37Taking the heart back was a mistake.
01:22:45Morgana.
01:22:48Farewell.
01:22:49Be wary.
01:22:51Without the Primordial Crown's shard, the Horde will show no mercy.
01:22:56I know the risks, but I command this gate. Shard or no shard, the Ravencrest will hold this line. To
01:23:05the last breath.
01:23:09The Horde is at our walls. I ride with the Vanguard.
01:23:12Godspeed.
01:23:26Why didn't you tell her about the warding spikes you planted?
01:23:30The wards are nothing, compared to the Primordial blood, still boiling in their veins.
01:23:35They will survive.
01:23:39What's happening? Are you alright?
01:23:42I feel a disturbance. A forbading sensation.
01:23:45I have looked ahead. I wish I had not.
01:23:48The road before us is dark, Cedric.
01:24:06We must push forward.
01:24:08Wherever you go, I will follow.
01:24:11Where to next?
01:24:13South.
01:24:14To the Scarlet Lands.
01:24:16I want to meet the fool who thought they could kill me.
