Short filmTranscript
00:05I'm Seraphina Vaughn. I'm 1,200 years old. I am the last Archmaste in this world.
00:13I hadn't lifted a finger in 300 years. Dragons these days are so weak it's almost funny.
00:21Ancestor! Please! The Hales want me dead!
00:25You've got vogate blood in you. Name.
00:32Evelyn, I'm...
00:33Her bloodline was faint, but it was there. She was my brother's descendant.
00:37Who did this to you?
00:39The Hales. Marcus Hale. They want our Vaughn blood.
00:44Because of me, the Vaughn bloodline awakened its magic.
00:47And that blood became the finest material for casting spells.
00:51From the day I married into that house, they started taking my blood.
00:56I thought if I just endured, endured it, it'd be fine, I thought.
01:01And what did enduring ever get you?
01:03I'm sorry, but they have my daughter. Her name is Leah. She's five.
01:11Ancestor, please, save her. She is the last Vaughn left.
01:17She was dead.
01:19A Vaughn can die, but not like this. Not at their hands.
01:25Evelyn. Every debt the Hales owe you. I will collect them one by one. From now on, I am you.
01:37I took Evelyn's face to get Leah out safely.
01:41To let the Hales watch the woman they murdered come back to collect, debt by debt.
01:46Marcus Hale, head of the Hale family.
01:49Gavin, Evelyn's husband, the spineless man who poisoned his own wife.
01:53Sarah, the woman cruel enough to hurt a five-year-old child.
01:56I watched your car go off that cliff!
01:59I don't know what you're talking about. Someone saved me.
02:02A lot of things are... fuzzy.
02:05Of course I knew. The brakes were cut.
02:08Evelyn and the car went over the cliff. The real Evelyn died.
02:11The woman standing here is an ancient monster here to avenge her bloodline.
02:16Amnesia?
02:17He is trying to decide if I am lying. Let him.
02:20No one in this world can see through a body shaped by mimic magic.
02:25You... how did you get back?
02:27Taxi. A taxi? Do we look stupid to you?
02:32For six years after Evelyn married into this family, Sarah slapped her every single day.
02:37At this point, it's muscle memory. What's wrong with your hand?
02:42Let her go!
02:43I barely touched her. That was true. If I'd used any strength,
02:48her whole arm would have turned to dust. If there's one thing I've always hated, it's people putting their hands
02:53on me.
02:57I don't know what I used to be like, but I'm done letting you people walk all over me.
03:07Something's wrong. Evelyn couldn't have that kind of strength.
03:11What if someone replaced her?
03:13Good. Let her be stronger. The stronger she is, the purer the blood.
03:18That bastard's blood was worthless. This time, we will keep her in the basement.
03:22We will drain her slowly, drop by drop.
03:28Morning.
03:30Morning.
03:31Every morning, Evelyn used to bring this man coffee, tie his tie, and bow her head to apologize when he
03:38called her a curse.
03:39She put up with it for six years. I won't endure it for her.
03:44What did you do to Sarah yesterday?
03:46She swung first.
03:48She's my sister!
03:51Okay. Gavin needed someone to take it out on. He's afraid of his father, afraid of outsiders.
03:58Evelyn was the only person he'd ever had the nerve to bully. Too bad for him, the woman in front
04:03of her wasn't that Evelyn anymore.
04:05You curse. You die once and thinking you're somebody now?
04:10Let me tell you something, Evelyn. In this house, you are nothing!
04:22Touch me again, and I'll break you.
04:25I didn't use magic. Kicking a grown man is as natural to me as walking.
04:30But to them, it was already beyond anything Evelyn could do.
04:34Fine. Let them guess.
04:35I want them to feel what Evelyn felt. Helpless. Terrified. Cornered.
04:40Clean up the floor, and put the chandelier Lear on his tab.
04:45Gavin.
04:46Father.
04:47Ordinary killers won't be enough. Hire mages. I will taste her blood tonight.
04:52They are bringing in mages now. What they don't know is that a thousand years ago, I was already the
04:58strongest archmage in the world.
05:02Three days. I've searched this villa top to bottom three times. No sign of Leah. Marcus hid her, and he
05:10hid her well.
05:11He knew Evelyn cared about her daughter more than anything, so he kept Leah as his final bargaining chip.
05:24Where is the child? Mrs. Hale.
05:29Miss Leah isn't here. I asked where she is. Mr. Hale sent her to the country. Said she needed to
05:36recover. Address.
05:39I don't know.
05:44I'll ask one more time. Address.
05:48The old house north of the suburbs. The red brick one.
05:56She's not here. I'm too late. Leah is five, locked away somewhere, still waiting for her mother to come get
06:03her.
06:03She doesn't know her mother is already dead. The halls treated Leah like a tool. A container to be drained.
06:10Marcus wanted her bloodline power. Sarah pinched and bruised her. Gavin looked the other way.
06:14In that house, a five-year-old child's only crime was having, was having Vaughn blood in her veins.
06:25Marcus hired seven high-level mages. Famous bloodline hunters, actually. They catch magical bloodlines for rich families.
06:33Drain them, package them, and deliver them to your door. Very professional.
06:38Too bad for them. Tonight they ran into me.
06:47Is everyone in position?
06:49The magic lock barrier is up. Not even a fly gets out.
06:52I want her alive. She doesn't die until the bloodline is drained.
06:56A magic lock barrier. Suppresses magic, blocks teleportation.
07:00Cuts off calls for help. Good enough for ordinary high-level mages. For me?
07:05I stopped using this thing 800 years ago. Too primitive.
07:15Her? Her.
07:16A mortal woman. And you paid 30 million for all seven of us? Marcus. You're getting old. And soft.
07:26They don't know me. When I withdrew 300 years ago, their grandfathers hadn't even been born.
07:34Pretty, though. After we drain her, don't kill her yet. Let me.
07:40Marcus wants to see what I can do. I'll show him one card.
07:44Evelyn Vaughn. Last blood of the Vaughn family. Married into the Hales for six years. Bled for six years. You
07:53used to be useless.
07:54Miss Useless, do you know what a magic lock barrier? Inside this barrier, you couldn't light a birthday candle.
08:01Try me.
08:02Hahaha. Big mouth for a dead woman. Before sunrise, we're gonna strip that bloodline power out of you. It's gonna
08:09hurt.
08:10Seven of them released pressure at once. They call it intimidation. I call it an introduction.
08:16We're very scary. Message received.
08:23Done talking? Then come at me.
08:27Seven high-level mages. A magic lock barrier. Marcus spent a fortune on this little operation.
08:33She's just blood with no talent. Break her arms and legs first.
08:40Ice and fire working together. One freezes the magic channels. The other burns the Mertradians.
08:48Not a bad combo. Shame they're weak.
08:57Black flame isn't really fire. It's annihilation. The second mortal magic touches it, it comes apart.
09:04A thousand years ago, they called it forbidden magic.
09:08Impossible. The magic lock barrier is still running. How are you using magic?
09:14Who said this barrier works on me? Which one of you called me useless?
09:19Who are you?
09:20Go back and tell the underworld. The Vaughn matter is mine now. Anyone else who takes a whole contract?
09:26I don't kill them. I leave witnesses. Fear is the best advertising. Soon the entire underworld will know.
09:35Take a hail job and you die. Seen enough?
09:40He finally understood. The woman before him wasn't a stronger Evelyn. She was something he didn't deserve to name.
09:50You are not Evelyn.
10:00Dad, are you okay?
10:04Come with me. Now.
10:10Marcus and Gavin left, but I didn't chase.
10:14I knew that once they were cornered, they'd reach for their only real leverage.
10:18Leah. And I needed them to lead me to her.
10:30Those seven mages.
10:32I saw.
10:32She took them out by herself.
10:34I said, I saw.
10:38Look, the crystal is glowing. That woman has complete vaunt divine blood, undiluted, untouched, pure ancient blood.
10:44Do you understand what that means?
10:45But those seven high-level mages almost died trying to fight her.
10:48The stronger she is, the more valuable her blood is. I don't care if she's Evelyn or not.
10:53If we drain her bloodline and that little bastard's together, the Hales become the next Vaughn family.
10:59With what? She almost tore the whole house down.
11:01Almost. But she didn't. You know why? Because she doesn't know where that little bastard is.
11:08As long as Leah's in our hands, she won't dare kill us.
11:11He's not stupid. He figured it out. But he still underestimated one thing. If I can't kill him, that doesn't
11:18mean I can't do anything else.
11:19Move Leah tonight. Take her to the secret room in the old Hale house. The bloodbane barrier is there.
11:23Even the strongest archmage alive couldn't break through. No matter how strong that woman is, she'll never guess where we
11:27hid Leah.
11:28Old house. Secret room. Bloodbane barrier. Marcus, thank you. Now I know where Leah is.
11:38Bloodbane barrier. The Dark Order's signature forbidden spell. Too bad I wrote the base formula 700 years ago.
11:49Mommy?
11:50Her body felt too light for a 5-year-old. The needle marks on her arms were packed so tight
11:57they looked sewn into her skin.
11:59How much blood did the Hales take from her? 10 times? 20.
12:06A blood-devouring array.
12:11Mommy?
12:12Dark magic designed specifically to suppress Vaughn blood. My magic is draining fast.
12:21Did you really think I wouldn't prepare for you after I started doubting who you were?
12:26Every word in that secret room last night was staged for you. Leah was bait. Petching you is worth a
12:32thousand Leah's. I looked at the familiar marks on the men behind Marcus. The Dark Order. The organization
12:38founded 300 years ago by my brightest disciple and the man who betrayed me most brutally. Drain the
12:44little bastard first. Then drain you. Mother and daughter both bled dry. The Hale family rises overnight.
12:49Don't worry sir. This isn't our first time draining Vaughn blood. Close your eyes. Cover your ears.
12:57Count to a hundred. Mommy's got you. One. Two. Three.
13:04If you want Vaughn blood so badly, then let me show you what a real Vaughn looks like.
13:1830 bloodline hunters. The Dark Order's core fighters. They've hunted countless magical bloodlines,
13:22and right now not a single one dares make the first move. That's the pure gold archmage medal.
13:27The only one ever granted by the Aether Royal family 300 years ago. I saw rubbing in the Royal
13:31Museum. Black flame flower. 13 black diamonds. There is only one in the world. Have you lost your mind?
13:36The black flame queen died in the far north ice fields 300 years ago. Exactly. Lord Cain struck
13:43her down himself. They never even found the body. Cheap tricks. That medal's fake. There are 30 of us,
13:48and she only has one hand. The blood devouring array. The same kind of array Cain used to ambush me.
13:53I spent 300 years studying it. Now to me it is no tougher than paper.
13:59The black flame queen. She's real.
14:07What was that you said? Whose blood were you draining first? Three hours ago he was calculating
14:14how much my blood would sail for. Now he's standing in his own piss, shaking too hard to move.
14:20No impossible. The black flame queen died years ago. How could Evelyn possibly get the black flame queen to
14:26help her? This will only hurt for a moment. And you? Anyone here who ever drained Vaughn blood?
14:35Step forward. I gave them five seconds. Not one stepped forward. All 20 thought they could bluff their
14:41way through. So every one of you has drained Vaughn blood. After Cain threw me into the ice fields 300
14:48years ago, I cut contact with the family. For 300 years the Vaughns became spell material for the Dark Order.
14:55Once a great house. Only Lea and I remain now.
15:02This is for Evelyn. This is for every Vaughn you've led Bly.
15:09I don't kill them. Death would be too easy. I want them alive and powerless so they can taste what
15:15helpless feels like. Mercy!
15:18Did you think about Mercy when you drained Evelyn? When you drained Lea?
15:29Marcus Hale executed. One, two, three.
15:33Mommy, did we get away from the bad people?
15:35We did. And from now on Mommy will never let bad people hurt you again.
15:38Cain, it has been 300 years. Do you still remember the master you betrayed?
15:44Marcus is dead. But Cain is still out there. He placed one billion bounty. I will go to him.
15:50From the foot of the mountain to the summit. 17 defensive lines. The Dark Order calls itself
15:55the continent's greatest underground power with 3,000 disciples. I needed half an hour. Most ran. The rest
16:01turned to ash. This final barrier was built by Cain himself. He spent three months learning this spell.
16:09I broke it in one single second.
16:13Leader, she has reached the summit. Even the final barrier you set up was broken by one tiny spell.
16:20Move every file and bloodline sample. Burn the headquarters. Everyone enter underground base. Now,
16:24what about the defense outside the hall? Send all remaining men. Buy me as much time as you can.
16:27Mommy, there is a fire. They said it themselves. Guilty people burn evidence. They do not want me
16:34seeing what they hide. Cain ran. Burned his own nest. Crawled underground. 3,000 disciples. Dead or gone.
16:41The greatest power fell in half an hour. The Black Flame Queen. The legend doesn't disappoint.
16:49But you killed my brother Marcus. That means this only ends with one of us dead.
17:00My queen. We've been searching for you for 300 years. Arthur, Boleyn, and Carl. My three guard
17:06captains from a thousand years ago. The last time I saw them was the night before I went into seclusion.
17:10I told them I'd be back in 10 years at most. That retreat lasted 300. Stand up. Back then Cain
17:16announced that you died in the far north ice fields. We didn't believe him. We searched the whole ice
17:20field for 10 years. No body. No trace. Then someone said they saw Black Flame burning in the north. We
17:25rushed there and missed you again. We've been looking for almost 300 years. I know. You know?
17:32I came back to the continent sometimes. I saw you still looking. I didn't show myself because the
17:37time wasn't right. You're back now. The time is right. We'd follow our queen through fire. We'd follow
17:44our queen through fire. We'd follow our queen through fire. Mommy, who are they? Mommy's old friends.
17:53This is Grandpa Arthur. Grandpa Arthur. The little princess has the same eyes your majesty had when you
18:00were young. After I killed Marcus, the Hale family collapsed overnight. Their companies, their assets,
18:05all devoured. Sarah and Gavin were left in a wreck of a rental, living on handouts. Do you want revenge
18:11on Serafina? Yes. I dream about it. I want that woman dead. I want to kill that little bastard myself.
18:19But Serafina is the strongest archmaste in the world. She destroyed the Dark Order, which is why we
18:24don't fight her head on. We lie. Her people are looking everywhere for Cain. You pretend you're a victim.
18:31Let them save you. Then tell them you know where Cain is, and lead them back to the basement of
18:37the
18:37old Hale villa. Will she believe me? Cain is the person she hates most. She'll go. Uncle. Say it.
18:43You draw her people away. And then what? What are you going to do to Leah? That's none of your
18:50concern.
18:50Leah is five. I can't stop Serafina, but Leah, can you leave Leah out of this? She is still my
18:56daughter.
18:57Before, taking blood didn't kill her, but now... Did you think Evelyn was young when you poisoned
19:02her? Dad forced me. You watched Serafina bruise Leah's arms. You watched needles go into that
19:06child's veins for three years. You did not step in then. Now you do? Don't you think you are a
19:11little late? Lock him up. Put him in the secret room. Until this is over, he sees no one. Serafina,
19:16talk to Uncle. Please. Just go. You're a Hale daughter. You've got Spain. Unlike your brother.
19:22I'll act the part. Remember, cry for real. Be scared for real. If you can't,
19:27that woman will kill you. I won't let her kill me. I want to watch her die.
19:32Raymond locked Gavin in the secret room. The same room where Leah was kept.
19:37Gavin sat in there all night. Then he picked the lock.
19:50I need to see Serafina. Raymond is going after Leah.
19:56Speak. Raymond told Sarah to pretend she's escaped from him. She'll say she knows where
20:00Cain is, but it's a trap. She's supposed to lead your people to the wrong place.
20:03And then?
20:04I was in the ventilation duct. I heard him talking to Cain. Raymond's going to use a blood crystal
20:08to activate the 10,000 blood soul eater array under the Hale altar. Once Sera brings you there,
20:12he'll wipe all of you out. Raymond Hall. Won't fight fair. Won't face me head on.
20:17Uses Sera as bait. Works with Cain. He deserves death too.
20:20Where is Cain really? The abandoned mine on the west side. When Evelyn married me,
20:25she asterisk honestly wanted to build a life. My father forced me to poison her. She asked if I'd
20:30changed the coffee beans. I said yes. She asterisk believed me and drank it all. Hell later.
20:35Every time they took her blood, she begged me. I told her, just hold on a little longer. I watched
20:39them bleed her for three years. Eve did nothing. I've never done one right thing in my life. Let
20:43me do one now. I don't ask for forgiveness. I just ask you to kill Raymond. He didn't say it,
20:47but I know. He can't control you, so he wants you dead. But Leah, he wants to keep her. Keep
20:51draining her. Use her as spell material. You don't have to ask. I'll kill him anyway. Go. Never
20:56come back. That is the only mercy I grant Leah's father. My queen, there is a woman outside.
21:02She escaped Raymond. She knows where Cain is. What's her name? Sarah Hale.
21:12Please help me. Raymond left me behind. I know where Cain is. He's in the basement of
21:17the old Hale villa. Please, you have to help me. Sarah, her acting has improved since I first came
21:21to the Hale house. The tears are real. The fear's real too. But she's not afraid of Raymond. She's
21:25afraid of me. Fine. Oh, thank you. Thank you so much. I'll take you there right now.
21:30It's just up ahead. Cain said he hid line.
21:42You. Raymond! Raymond, help me!
21:49You said he'd avenge me.
21:54Kill me. Please, just kill me. Death, that'd be too kind. I don't kill her. Death is too easy.
22:03They once locked Leah in this basement with one sip of water and one piece of bread a day. Now,
22:08it's Sarah's turn. Arthur, tell Carl. West abandoned mine. Cain's nest.
22:17My queen, this is it.
22:23This is Cain's underground base. The mine is only a decoy. He spent 15 years building this place,
22:30thinking no one would ever find it.
22:35Too fast. How is she moving so fast?
22:39Everyone fall back to the core zone. Open every barrier. Stop her.
22:43Raymond, she's here. Is your plan going to work or not?
22:47Hold her there. Leave the rest to me.
22:48She broke nine of my barriers in nine seconds. Master, if you won't leave me away to live,
22:54then we'll die together.
22:56This one is mommy. This one is me.
23:06My queen! Miss Leah is gone! Please come back!
23:14Diversion. The mine was bait. Cain was bait. The entire siege was bait. Raymond only targeted Leah.
23:21I underestimated him. He's ten times more cunning than Marcus.
23:24I failed you, my queen. Where is he?
23:27Raymond wants you at the old Vaughn altar. Raymond, touch one hair on her head,
23:32and I will make you regret being born.
23:38The 10,000 Blood Soul Eater Array. A forbidden spell even stronger than belong to one person.
23:43It belongs to thousands the Hales destroyed. It uses the dead's resentment to suppress the
23:48living's magic, a killing array designed for Vaughn blood. Raymond probably staked the entire
23:52thousand year hail fortune on building it.
23:56Master, you finally came. This is something Raymond and I prepared especially for you.
24:02Don't move. Around her neck is an explosive collar. I press this button and her head is gone.
24:06Your Black Flame is fast. Is it faster than a signal?
24:0820 steps. I can teleport. Black Flame is faster than bullet. I do not know detonation speed. I never
24:14gamble with Leah. That's better. Even the Black Flame
24:17Queen dares not move now. You look so proud killing my brother, destroying the Dark Order. Why so still?
24:22You move. She dies. Mommy, don't worry about me. Run! They are bad people. Shut up.
24:35Mommy, run. They wanna hurt you. See that? Your daughter has more guts than you, but guts don't keep you
24:43alive.
24:43I'll ask one more time. Do you walk into the center of the array and surrender or do I press
24:46this button?
24:52Mommy, run! Divine blood awakening. The ultimate form of the Vaughn bloodline. In a thousand years,
25:00only three people have awakened it. She is five. Tied to an altar, slapped across the face,
25:07and she awakened it on her own. Vaughn blood was never meant to just sit around waiting to be
25:12protected. No. Impossible. She's only five. Don't be scared, Leah. Mommy's got you.
25:20Master, I'm your disciple. You taught me for 300 years. Did I teach you how to stab me in the
25:26back?
25:29Mommy, you're so pretty.
25:32Do you like it? This is what Mommy looks like after she beats the bad guys.
25:36I love it. I love every version of Mommy. 300 years ago, you ambushed me. 300 years later,
25:42you hurt my daughter. Cain, we're settling that debt now. My only regret is that I wasn't ruthless
25:47enough back then. I let you live. Then this time, I'll be ruthless enough for both of us.
25:54Master's black flame still hurts like hell. Cain, I raised him for 300 years. He hated me for 300
26:02years. He said he had no regrets, neither do I. Cleaning house is never too late. From this day on,
26:10the Dark Order has no master.
26:14Running?
26:17I'll be back. You'll pay the hail blood debt with your life. Mommy, that bad man got away.
26:24He won't get far. Mommy will find him. Let curse tracking. Give me one drop of an enemy's blood,
26:31and I can find him at the edge of the world. Raymond thinks he'll be safe overseas. He doesn't know
26:37a
26:37kill order from the black flame queen doesn't get called off.
26:43Arthur, ready the ship. We're going overseers.
26:50I offer my lifespan as kindling, and a thousand years of blood debt as the pact. Ancestors of House
26:57Hale, grant me the power of revenge. The Hale blood curse passed down for generations.
27:04The caster gives up half his remaining life in exchange for control over blood mist. Any magical
27:10bloodline touched by that mist becomes a mindless monster. Raymond can't beat me,
27:15so he's turned himself into the source of the poison. He wants the whole world buried with him.
27:21The blood mist reached the shore. Overnight, coastal cities fell. Raymond hides in his castle,
27:28controlling blood mist monsters and spreading chaos. He's waiting for me to come. He knows I will.
27:38Mommy, the fog outside is moving.
27:44There's something wrong with this fog.
27:50No, this is blood mist. It infects magical bloodlines. Shields up now. Don't let it touch your skin.
27:57My queen, run!
28:00Good. Black flame can cleanse the blood curse.
28:05Rayman thinks the blood curse is a killing blow. He doesn't know black flame can cleanse all mortal magic.
28:11The blood mist won't stop us. It'll only speed up his end.
28:20Hale Castle. Built on an island, surrounded on all sides by blood mist.
28:26Rayman turned it into his nest. From the front gate to the basement, it's packed with his blood mist monsters.
28:46Arthur, keep everyone outside. Belen, Carl, with me.
28:54I leave Arthur and the others behind. With them there, my way out is secure.
29:00Mummy, the paintings are watching me.
29:05Dead people can't watch the living.
29:14Welcome to Hale Castle. Seraph Athena. When you enter someone's home, you're supposed to knock. No manners?
29:20I knock my own way.
29:24Guard the stairs.
29:26My queen, below.
29:27I can handle it alone.
29:29Allow me to introduce them.
29:31More than ten generations of Hale ancestors. They've been waiting a thousand years for today.
29:40The evil spirits of the Hale ancestors. When they were alive, they grew strong by hunting magical bloodlines.
29:48Death didn't make them any better. They wear fragments of their victim's magic like metals.
29:54So many fragments. Each one was a life they destroyed. How many people did you bleed dry tie when you
30:02were alive?
30:04And now, even dead, you wear their fragments like trophies. You don't deserve peace.
30:12A dozen evil spirits.
30:18Three seconds.
30:20A thousand years of Hale ancestral sin erased in three seconds.
30:25When those magic fragments disappeared, I heard wind. Half a shob, half a thank you.
30:29The ancestors are too old. Useless. But I'm different. I swallowed the blood curse into my own body. Now the
30:35curse and I are one. You can't kill me.
30:37You turned yourself into a monster. Monster? No. I'm the strongest blood hunter House Hala has ever produced. Marcus could
30:44only drain blood. Cain could only stab people in the back. I'm different. I am the weapon.
30:48A weapon? You'll just take a little longer.
30:52He swallowed the blood curse. The resentment of generations of Hale family heads is inside him.
30:57His magic is stronger. Yes. Maybe half a level above Cain. But at its core, the blood curse is still
31:06moral magic. And moral magic breaks apart when it touches Black Flame. Adding ancestors doesn't change the rules.
31:14Your brother wanted Valk blood. Your father wanted Valk blood. Your grandfather, his grandfather. For a thousand years, every Hale
31:22dreamed of draining the last drop of Valk blood. Today, the source of the Valk bloodline is standing in front
31:27of you. Any last words?
31:31The Hales won't end. As long as one drop of blood. The Hales crimes. From Marcus to you. End here.
31:42It's over.
31:43Raymond Hale. The final head of the Hale family. Executed. From this day forward, the name Hale is erased from
31:54the continent.
32:04Cain is dead. Raymond is dead. But remnants of the Dark Order and the Hale family remain. They thought hiding
32:11underground would save them. I spent seven days with my old guards, digging out every last base on the continent.
32:17Mercy, my queen! I only kept the records! I never drew blood!
32:23Did you watch them do it?
32:27Did you watch them cry?
32:46There. You're not cold anymore.
32:51Leah gave that child her blanket. The child's arms were covered in needle marks. Just like Leah's once were. Leah
32:58saw them. She didn't say anything. She only wrapped the blanket a little tighter.
33:03From today on, there will be no more bloodline hunters on this continent. Anyone who hunts magical blood again will
33:11end like the Dark Order.
33:12The blood mist is gone. The blood mist is gone. Bloodline hunters existed over a thousand years. I ended them.
33:19People on this continent don't have to hide anymore. Children can grow up normally without fearing someone will drain their
33:26blood. Evelyn, did you hear that?
33:29My queen, rebuild the Vaughn family. Take back the magic world.
33:37My queen, the Dark Order is gone. The Hales are gone. The continent needs a new order now. You are
33:48the only one qualified to build it. Please rebuild the Vaughn family and take back the magic world.
33:54They are asking me to rebuild the Vaughn family. The family my brother founded. The family the Hales nearly wiped
34:01out. They're right. The continent needs order. The Vaughn name could scare off anyone with evil intentions. But I don't
34:08want to be queen anymore.
34:10Arthur, how many years have you followed me?
34:14Five hundred.
34:15Five hundred years. Long enough. I'm not the Black Flame Queen anymore. I'm just Lea's mom. Dragon bone staff, burned.
34:24Archmaster metal, melted. These things followed me one thousand years. Today I give them all back.
34:30From this moment on, the Black Flame Queen no longer exists. Only an ordinary woman remains, with her five year
34:36old daughter.
34:36From today on, there is no Black Flame Queen in this world. The old guard is disbanded. You are all
34:43free.
34:45My queen.
34:47No more kneeling.
34:54Grandpa Arthur, have some candy. Candy makes the tears go away.
34:59Thank you, princess.
35:04Mommy, let's go to the beach.
35:07Okay.
35:10We move to the seaside. The town is Sea Breeze. Fewer than 300 people live here. No one knows who
35:18we are. No one asks where we came from.
35:21The baker next door said, Welcome to town. Knock anytime if you need help.
35:26It was the first time in 300 years that someone spoke to me like a neighbor.
35:38Mommy, I'm done with my drawing.
35:42What did you draw?
35:44Our flower shop. This is the flower. This is you. This is me.
35:54It's beautiful.
35:58Let's put it on the wall. Leah loves drawing. Back at the Hale House, she never dared to draw. Sarah
36:04would tear all her pictures up.
36:06Now she draws one every day and tapes them all over the flower shop wall. She says she's going to
36:11cover the whole wall.
36:15Are you new here?
36:19Uh huh. I'm Leah.
36:21I'm Lily. Want to go collect shells on the beach tomorrow?
36:29Yes! Mommy, what's this little black seed? What flower is it?
36:34A black flame flower. A long, long time ago, Mommy planted one. Then I forgot to plant any more.
36:43Will it bloom?
36:45It will. It takes a long time, but it will bloom.
36:55Happy birthday, Leah! Thank you!
36:58Leah is six. She invited five classmates, all friends she made after we came to Seabreeze.
37:05Back at the Hale House, she never had a birthday. The Hales didn't celebrate birthdays.
37:10They only had blood-drying days. My mom helped me wrap it. The shells inside, I picked those myself.
37:20They're so pretty!
37:26I wish Mommy would stay healthy and happy forever, and always be with me.
37:36For more than a thousand years, I never cried. Not when my brother died. Not when Cain betrayed me.
37:43Now one tear falls, because a six-year-old child said she wished Mommy would always stay with her.
37:49Evelyn, your daughter made this wish for you.
37:51Yay!
37:59Mommy, are you crying?
38:02No. It's windy.
38:11Since you're here, come in.
38:17Grandpa Arthur!
38:23The princess has grown taller.
38:26Not princess.
38:29Leah.
38:31All right.
38:32Leah.
38:33Arthur.
38:34He said he was just passing through, and wanted to check in.
38:38He wore ordinary clothes.
38:40His hair was cut short, and his beard was shaved.
38:43I hadn't seen him dressed like that in three hundred years.
38:47He looked ten years older.
38:48And ten years lighter.
38:57My queen.
38:59Call me Serafina.
39:01I'm not used to that.
39:03You will be.
39:06This is Mommy.
39:08This is me.
39:09And these three are Grandpa Arthur, Grandpa Belen, and Grandpa Carl.
39:18It's a good drawing.
39:20Magical order has been fully restored across the continent.
39:24There are no traces of bloodline hunters anymore.
39:27Belen and Carl opened a magical repair shop.
39:30I went back home and started raising a few sheep.
39:33Good.
39:35Are you... happy here?
39:38I am.
39:39I found this on the ice field.
39:42Around the place where you lived for three hundred years,
39:44a whole patch of black flame flowers had grown.
39:48I brought one for you and the princess.
39:51Something to remember it by.
39:53Arthur celebrated Leah's sixth birthday with us.
39:55At dusk, he walked out of the flower shop and stood at the door for a long time,
40:01staring at the wooden sign.
40:03Leah's little flower shop.
40:05Mommy!
40:06The black flame flower sprouted!
40:11Twelve hundred years.
40:13I've fought wars, built cities, taken disciples, cleaned house.
40:17I've killed dragons on ice fields and traitors at altars.
40:21The wars that needed fighting are done.
40:22The debts that needed collecting are paid.
40:25Now, the most important parts of my day are picking Leah up from school,
40:28making her dinner, and reading her a story before bed.
40:31Mommy, will we be happy like this forever?
40:34We will. As long as we're together, we'll always be happy.
40:37Leah asked if we'd be happy forever.
40:39Forever isn't a concept to me.
40:41It's experience.
40:42Twelve hundred years is too long, but every day with her is as short as a blink.
40:46This time, maybe I don't need to count the years.
40:48I can just be an ordinary mother and watch her grow up.
40:51The black flame flower has sprouted.
40:53Leah says she'll water it every day.
40:54She says when it blooms, she'll pick one for mommy.
40:57She doesn't know how hard it is for that flower to bloom.
41:00Just like she doesn't know the divine blood inside her is growing stronger day by day.
41:04That day will come.
41:05One day, she'll know what her blood means.
41:07She'll know who her real mother was.
41:09But until then, let her be an ordinary child for a few more years.
41:12My name is Serafina Vaughn.
41:13I used to be the black flame queen.
41:15Now I'm Leah's mom.
41:16My 1,200 year story ends here.
41:19Mommy, no matter who you are, you are Leah's mommy.
