00:00Ma sœur et je trouvait les deux morceaux dans les Norden Wastelands.
00:04Elle a pris le noir, Wesley, gentil et caring.
00:07J'ai pris le noir, Calus, cold comme l'eau.
00:11Mais je n'ai pas voulu me dérouler.
00:12J'ai passé 10 ans à la nourriture de lui, mais il n'est jamais vécu à moi.
00:18Juste quand j'étais en train de sortir, il a changé de sa tête.
00:22Let's bond.
00:23Je pensais que j'ai finalement perdu sa cœur.
00:26Mais le jour avant notre bond, je l'ai appris la vérité.
00:29Il n'a pas voulu me bonder avec moi pour rester près de ma sister.
00:32Après il devient un dragon, il va me tuer et me tuer et me tuer.
00:37C'est quand j'ai réalisé que j'étais juste un tool pour lui.
00:40Les deux morceaux que nous trouvons mourir ont tous fallé pour ma sister.
00:44Mais c'est bon.
00:45Maintenant que je sais la vérité, j'ai mon propre plan.
00:48Je me suis pris en train de retour.
00:50Calus est revenu tard tard.
00:51Nous nous sommes rentrés.
00:52Il ne sait pas que je sais tout.
00:54Il s'est passé.
00:55Don't touch me.
00:56L'est-ce qui est quand j'ai fait l'air.
00:59C'est bon.
01:00I pensais qu'il était juste la mort.
01:02Mais non, il était exclut par moi.
01:05Je vais me faire un petit笑ur.
01:06L'œil tout l'air.
01:07Les yeux brûlent.
01:08Desutés roulent.
01:10Desutés.
01:12Desutés par-��.
01:13Desutés.
01:13Desautés.
01:14Desutés.
01:14Descourçes à moi.
01:15Desutés.
01:16Les mesures de temps.
01:17Descourctions.
01:18Descour�.
01:21Descour�is.
01:23Descourissen.
01:24I brought double supplies
01:26Hoping he'd come with me
01:29Kairis, will you come with me?
01:31No
01:32Everyone brings their bonded beasts
01:34They'll laugh at me if you don't come
01:35Then bond a new one, I don't care
01:38So for ten years, I went alone
01:40The hunt beasts are clever
01:42They attack anyone alone
01:43I always came back covered in wounds
01:45One time, I ran into Eliza and Wesley
01:48Wesley has the same face as Kairis
01:50But his smile was warm
01:52He held my sister's hand gently
01:54Eliza, your palms are raw
01:55Let me do the hunting from now on
01:57She smiled and nodded
01:59She reached for his tail
02:01He wrapped it around her waist
02:02Letting her touch as much as she wanted
02:04How wonderful
02:06I envied my sister
02:07She had Wesley's true heart
02:09For three days, I didn't eat or drink
02:11I just sat in my room
02:13The only place I felt safe
02:15Day turned to night
02:16Then day again
02:17I was empty but not hungry
02:19My parents only saw Eliza
02:21No one noticed I'd disappeared
02:22Not even Kairis who lived with me
02:24Or maybe he just didn't care
02:25On the third morning, Kairis left
02:27I walked through every room
02:29Every corner held our memories
02:30Ten whole years
02:32He was like an accident in my life
02:34I thought I could melt ice
02:35But he was a knot I couldn't undo
02:38My stomach twisted in pain
02:40I packed up everything I owned
02:42I decided to leave
02:43For ten years, my only goal was him
02:45Bond with Kairis
02:47Grow together
02:47But that dream was dead now
02:49I remembered bringing him home
02:50He was so weak
02:52Almost dead
02:53His worm blood was special
02:54Normal herbs and magic stones did nothing for him
02:57I had no money
02:58No status
02:59So I fed him my own magic blood
03:01What's stronger than a Karen's blood?
03:03It hurt every time
03:05I don't know how I kept going
03:06But seeing his face turn healthy again gave me courage
03:09Again and again
03:11I thought we'd grow old together
03:12Even if he was cold
03:14He was still my little dragon
03:15I did so many things for him
03:17I never told him the cost
03:18I didn't want him to feel guilty
03:20But even that wasn't enough
03:22He still hated my kindness
03:23I decided to let go
03:25Free him
03:26Free myself
03:27I packed my bag and left
03:29I wandered with no direction
03:31I found myself at the valley
03:32Where we used to watch the moon
03:34I love the moon
03:35So does Kairis
03:36But he never watched it with me
03:37Only when Eliza and Wesley came
03:39Then he would join us
03:41That was the only time
03:42His cold face came alive
03:44He couldn't even hide his true form
03:46His tail trembled under his robe
03:48I thought it was because
03:49They were twin worms
03:51The signs were so obvious
03:52But I was too blind to see
03:54I took a deep breath
03:55I blinked back the tears
03:57Just as I turned to leave
03:58What are you doing here?
04:00His voice wasn't cold for once
04:01I remembered how he flinched
04:03The last time I touched him
04:04I stepped back quickly
04:05Nothing
04:05Just walking
04:06His gaze is fixed on me
04:08He smiled
04:09A warm smile
04:10I need to talk to you
04:11I looked at him confused
04:12He brushed the hair from my face
04:14So gentle
04:14Like a different person
04:16Let's bond
04:16He said softly
04:17My mind went blank
04:18I'd waited ten years for these words
04:20I thought I'd given up on him
04:22But my heart still leaped
04:23I nodded before I could think
04:25Forgetting the days I'd locked myself away
04:27Maybe it was ten years of hope
04:29Maybe I could still warm him
04:30He took my hand and led me home
04:32The first time we touched in ten years
04:34I held on tight
04:35Leaned into him
04:36He held my hand loosely
04:38Like it would slip away the moment I let go
04:41Back at the Karen estate
04:42Kalis smiled gently
04:44His eyes sparkled like shattered stars
04:46Just like when we first met
04:48My heart soared from the depths
04:49I told my parents about the bond
04:51Then magic fireworks exploded outside
04:54I thought Kalis had planned it
04:56I ran out excited
04:57Eliza and Wesley stood beneath the lights
04:59Not for me
05:00I'd done it again
05:01Disappointment washed over me
05:03I looked at Kalis beside me
05:05He was still smiling
05:06But I could see the sadness
05:07Ten years together
05:08I knew his face
05:09He still loved my sister
05:11The joy I'd felt faded
05:13Kalis squeezed my hand
05:14So hard it made me cry
05:16News of the bond spread fast
05:18Your family is so lucky
05:19No true dragon since the dragon lord fell a thousand years ago
05:23Works are the next best thing
05:24The Karens have two works
05:26Two of them
05:27Other houses burned with envy
05:29Dragon blood plus the Karens natural healing magic
05:31Boundless potential
05:32But they only praised Eliza
05:33The gifted one
05:34The first daughter
05:35I was an afterthought
05:36Wesley will become a true dragon
05:38With the strongest heir of this generation
05:40Too bad KS got stuck with the failure of the family
05:42When Wesley is dragon lord
05:43Eliza will be the most powerful woman on the continent
05:45She can let her failure sister share some of the glory
05:48I've heard words like these my whole life
05:50My sister is the moon in the sky
05:52I'm mud in a well
05:54Even my own parents play favourites
05:56So how can I expect fairness from others?
05:58I don't care about any of that
06:00The only one whose opinion matters to me is Kalis
06:03Does he think bonding with me wastes his bloodline?
06:06The night before our bonding I asked him
06:08Will you regret this?
06:10No
06:12On the night before the ritual
06:13Kalis and I weren't supposed to see each other
06:16We each had to purify ourselves in the magic spring
06:19But I remembered I hadn't given him his monthly magic blood yet
06:22I went somewhere private and extracted it
06:24I carefully put it in a bottle and held it close
06:27Following his scent I found him
06:29Just as I was about to call his name
06:31I heard him scoff
06:32Eliza you know I only agreed to bond with her
06:34So I could stay by your side
06:36She has no talent
06:37Her magic blood is pitifully weak
06:39How could she compare to you?
06:41My feet were frozen to the ground
06:42He was holding my sister's hand
06:44His eyes were burning
06:45Like I'd never seen before
06:47More words spilled from his mouth
06:49Once I become a dragon
06:50The first thing I'll do is break my bond with her
06:52Then I'll make you the dragon lord's wife
06:54Growing up
06:55Whenever people called me ugly or useless
06:58Eliza was the one who spoke up for me
07:00My parents always favoured her
07:02But I never envied her
07:03She was the only one in the family
07:04Who never looked down on me
07:06Eliza frowned
07:07I thought she was about to scold Calus
07:09I really hate that you have to stay with a failure like Lena
07:12How is her weak magic supposed to help you train?
07:17I stepped back
07:18I couldn't believe those words came from my sister
07:20She even reached for Calus' tail
07:23And played with it in her hands
07:24If I accidentally touched Calus' tail
07:27He'd say it disgusted him
07:29But he let my sister touch it however she wanted
07:31I have Lena's magic blood
07:33Once we bond
07:35The benefits will be even greater
07:37Can a little bit of blood compare to my talent?
07:40Calus' eyes flashed with cruelty I'd never seen before
07:44If it's not enough
07:45I'll take more
07:46She's obsessed with me anyway
07:48What's a little blood to her?
07:50So Calus always knew
07:52He knew I'd been feeding him my blood
07:55At that moment
07:56I felt like my heart was being squeezed and stomped on
07:59I thought having Calus meant I'd never be alone again
08:02I thought he wanted to bond with me because he didn't want me to leave
08:05But it was all just a way for him to stay close to my sister
08:08Only then did I finally admit to myself
08:11Calus never cared about me
08:13Those twin worms we found dying in the northern wastelands
08:16Their first love was always my sister
08:19I stumbled back to my room
08:21My hands trembling
08:22I packed up everything I'd just put away
08:25I was really leaving this time
08:26Before I left I wrote a note
08:28Calus, you're free
08:30I raised my hand to my eyes
08:32Day after day of draining my magic blood had taken my vision first
08:36Soon I wouldn't be able to see anything at all
08:40My chest felt heavy
08:41I finally let go of my white dragon
08:44Let go of the me who threw myself into the fire
08:46I didn't tell anyone where I was going
08:48I couldn't breathe here
08:49I just wanted to run
08:51After leaving House Karen
08:52I moved around a lot
08:54Finally, I settled in a border town where no one knew me
08:57Simple people, simple life
08:59Lots of small, untamed, magical beasts
09:02Slowly, everyone learned I had healing powers for magical creatures
09:07Word spread
09:08The local Tamers guild found me
09:10They convinced me to join
09:11They promised not to reveal who I really was
09:14At House Karen, I was a failure
09:16But in this border town, I was just good enough
09:20The people were kind, especially the children
09:22They'd pick colorful magic stones from the wild
09:25And leave them on my windowsill
09:27To thank me for calming their restless beasts
09:30Some of the braver kids would ask
09:31Miss, you're so amazing
09:33Why don't you have your own magical beast?
09:35I'm not amazing
09:35I'm not pretty either
09:37No beast would want to bond with me
09:39Who said that?
09:40You're the kindest, prettiest tamer we've ever met
09:42I forced a smile and shrugged it off
09:44Kids get distracted fast
09:46Soon, they ran off to play with their own beasts
09:48I suddenly thought of Calus
09:50Had he noticed I was gone yet?
09:52Was he furious that his plan fell apart?
09:55Would he drop his cold mask?
09:57I shook my head
09:58Pushed those thoughts away
10:00House Karen and Calus had nothing to do with me anymore
10:03My dad found a lame beast
10:05Its face is covered in ugly scars
10:07I've never seen such an ugly beast
10:08No wonder its owner dumped it
10:09I saw it too
10:10With all those injuries
10:11It must have escaped from the underground arena
10:13Everyone went quiet
10:15In this small town
10:16People didn't talk about places like that
10:19I'd heard my father say
10:20Only savage beasts get sent to the arena
10:23Beasts that won't obey
10:25The arena doesn't treat them like living things
10:28They just make them fight each other endlessly
10:32I couldn't help asking
10:33Where is he now?
10:34Lena
10:34You're not thinking of going to find him, are you?
10:36Don't do it
10:37If he really escaped from the arena
10:38He's dangerous
10:39He could go crazy and hurt you
10:41You've seen him today, haven't you?
10:43The man hesitated
10:44Then nodded
10:44I saw him
10:46In that abandoned shack by the mountain
10:48Then he added
10:48You're not thinking of taking him in, are you?
10:50Take in a new beast
10:51The scar on my chest ached
10:53I probably didn't have the courage to raise another beast
10:56Ten years with Kalos had nearly drained all my magic
10:59But I couldn't help feeling bitter
11:01Why do only the pretty ones
11:03The talented ones
11:04Get seen
11:05Get treated well
11:06Get loved
11:07We who long to be noticed and loved
11:09Don't we count too?
11:11Looking at the worried faces around me
11:13I said
11:14Even arena beasts can tell right from wrong
11:15Just like people
11:16As long as he means no harm
11:18I don't think he will attack anyone
11:19Please don't judge him too harshly
11:21Maybe he's just an ordinary beast who's suffered a lot
11:23I followed the man's directions
11:24To the abandoned shack by the mountain
11:26It was dark inside
11:28Two black stone-like things glowed in the darkness
11:31The beast's eyes
11:32I placed the food I'd brought in front of the shack
11:36This is for you to eat
11:38Don't be afraid
11:40They're just ordinary things
11:43After a moment
11:44A voice came from inside
11:46Who are you?
11:47The voice was rough
11:48Like gravel grinding together
11:50I smiled and answered softly
11:52I'm like you
11:54Someone with no home
11:55Maybe he could tell I meant no harm
11:57There was a rustling sound from inside
11:59The beast moved to the doorway
12:01He carefully picked up the food
12:03Only then could I see him clearly
12:05His true form was a wyvern
12:07Nothing like the man had said
12:09He didn't seem fierce at all
12:11Just lifeless
12:12Like ash
12:13The scars on his face were deep
12:15His hair was matted into knots
12:17He ate while watching me nervously
12:19Like he was afraid I'd take the food away
12:21I hid my hands behind my back
12:23To make him feel safer
12:24What's your name?
12:26I asked
12:26He swallowed the food with difficulty
12:28His eyes glowed brighter
12:31Caspian
12:33My name is Caspian
12:34I repeated
12:35Caspian
12:37That's a lovely name
12:38Caspian's face turned a little red
12:40Even through the scars he was beautiful
12:42When he finished eating I got ready to leave
12:45I told him
12:47Caspian
12:48The people here are kind
12:50No one will hurt you
12:51Caspian nodded hesitantly
12:53Such a gentle beast
12:55Why would anyone send him to the arena?
12:58Why treat him so cruelly?
12:59I sighed and turned to leave
13:01But Caspian grabbed my sleeve
13:03I looked back into his eyes
13:05Wet
13:05Begging
13:06He spoke with difficulty
13:08Could you
13:08Could you take me in?
13:10I'm not a bad person
13:11I was stunned
13:12Afraid I'd say no
13:14He rushed out words
13:15I know my leg is hurt
13:16But I can still work
13:17Build fires
13:18Cook soup
13:19Clean the house
13:20Mend clothes
13:20I can do all of it
13:21Anything you need
13:22Just tell me
13:26Looking at Caspian
13:27I saw my younger self
13:28I did everything to get my parents to notice me
13:31Copied spells for them
13:33Cleaned their magic circles
13:35Organized my sister's spell books
13:37Polished her magic tools
13:38Just to seem useful
13:40Like if I did less
13:41I didn't deserve their love
13:43But my sister did nothing
13:44She just stood there
13:46And she was always their favorite
13:48I carried that feeling of not being good enough my whole life
13:51I always wished someone would tell me
13:53You don't have to earn our love
13:55My heart ached
13:56I looked into Caspian's eyes
13:57I'm not pretty
13:58My magic is weak
14:01Are you sure you want someone like me?
14:03Caspian let go of my sleeve
14:04My heart sank
14:06Of course
14:07Looks and power were all that mattered
14:09But then Caspian wiped his hands on his clothes
14:12And gently touched my face
14:13Lena you are beautiful
14:16More beautiful than anyone I've ever seen
14:19I want to be with you
14:22No one had ever said that to me before
14:24Caspian's eyes were clean
14:26No disgust
14:27No judgment
14:28Looking into his honest eyes
14:30I reached out my hand without thinking
14:32Afraid I'd change my mind
14:34He grabbed it quickly
14:35And just like that
14:36I took Caspian in
14:38Caspian was nothing like Calus
14:40With Caspian around
14:41I didn't have to lift a finger
14:42He kept the house perfectly
14:44Always found ways to cook things that made me smile
14:47He knew what I liked
14:49There was always hot soup waiting on the stove
14:51I told him he didn't have to do all this to stay with me
14:54I said I didn't want to trap him with gratitude
14:56But really
14:57I was scared
14:58Scared that one day
15:00He'd turn cold like Calus
15:02And I wouldn't know how to handle it
15:04Even the old man who warned me about him had changed his tune
15:07Good things come to good people
15:09He said
15:10Caspian is so capable
15:12You're lucky
15:13The neighbors were jealous too
15:15They compared Caspian to their own beasts
15:17I just smiled and said nothing
15:19I thought Caspian would be gentle
15:21But I never expected him to be this good
15:24Being with him taught me something
15:26It's not about being human or beast
15:28It's about whether someone wants to care
15:30Time passed quickly
15:32With Caspian by my side
15:33I thought about the past less often
15:35But sometimes I still had nightmares
15:37I dreamed about the fourth year with Calus
15:40My sister and I took our beasts out
15:42We were ambushed by our family's rivals
15:44Fireballs exploded
15:46Swords clashed
15:47Wesley protected Eliza
15:49I pulled Calus trying to escape
15:51They chased us to the edge of a cliff
15:53I was so focused on protecting Calus
15:55I didn't watch my step
15:57I fell
15:58As I fell
15:59I hated myself for being useless
16:01I was still worried about Calus
16:04But in the dream
16:05I saw things more clearly
16:06Right before I fell
16:07Someone tried to attack my sister
16:09Calus pushed me aside
16:11He and Wesley both shielded Eliza
16:13It wasn't an accident
16:14I was just in the way
16:16The cliff wasn't that high
16:17I survived
16:18But all my limbs were broken
16:20I was bedridden for six months
16:22My parents visited once
16:23They were too busy
16:24Eliza had scratches
16:25They couldn't let her have scars
16:27They searched everywhere for healing potions
16:29Calus came once too
16:31When Eliza came to check on me
16:32Her voice screamed in my head
16:34Lena Karen
16:35You're a waste of air
16:37No one will ever love you
16:39I shook my head
16:40Trying to push it out
16:42Even the beast you raised
16:43Abandoned you
16:44You're worthless
16:45Always have been
16:46The voice grew sharper
16:48Sometimes my father's voice
16:49Sometimes my mother's
16:51Sometimes my sister's
16:52Then it became Calus' voice
16:54You make me sick
16:55I backed away
16:57Begging
16:57I'm sorry
16:58I'm sorry
16:59The new walls I'd built crumbled
17:01I almost drowned in self-pity again
17:03Then I felt warmth on my forehead
17:05The voices disappeared
17:07Like someone tore open the darkness
17:09I ran toward the light
17:10It grew brighter
17:11And brighter
17:12When I opened my eyes
17:14Caspian was kneeling by my bed
17:16His hand was on my forehead
17:17When he saw I was awake
17:18He let out a breath of relief
17:20Lena, did you have a nightmare?
17:22His voice was soft and gentle
17:23It made me feel safe
17:25I don't know why
17:26But I wanted to cry
17:27Tears flooded my eyes
17:28For the first time
17:29I cried in front of Caspian
17:31The tears wouldn't stop
17:32Caspian didn't know how to comfort me
17:34So he just held me awkwardly
17:36His arms were gentle
17:37He patted my back
17:38Don't be sad, Lena
17:39Caspian is here
17:40If I cried in front of Calus
17:41He'd just tell me coldly to leave
17:43But with Caspian
17:44I didn't have to pretend to be strong
17:46My lips trembled
17:47I said something without thinking
17:49Can I touch your tail?
17:50Caspian's breath caught
17:51He let his tail appear
17:53And placed it in my hand
17:54I touched it gently
17:55The green scales shimmered with dark light
17:58Beneath the scales
17:59Golden veins glowed
18:01Were all wyvern tails this beautiful?
18:03I'd seen my sister touch Wesley's tail
18:05Worms are the closest things to dragons
18:07But even Wesley's tail wasn't as beautiful as Caspian's
18:10My hand trembled as I touched it
18:12Something I'd wanted since I was young
18:14My fingers moved along his snake tail
18:16I didn't notice his breathing getting faster
18:18Suddenly he grabbed my hand
18:20His voice was rough
18:21Lena, do you know what it means to touch a tail?
18:24I looked at him, confused
18:25What does it mean to touch a tail?
18:27Ever since I could remember
18:28I'd seen my sister touch beasts' tails
18:31Griffins, winter wolves
18:32Countless birds and beasts
18:34My sister said beasts only let powerful tamers touch their tails
18:37So I never dared to try
18:39I only touched Calus because I loved him so much
18:42Seeing that I didn't understand
18:43Caspian blushed
18:45He turned his head away and whispered
18:46A tail is the most sensitive part of a beast
18:49Touching it means you want to mate
18:50My face burned
18:52So that's what it meant
18:53My sister lied to me
18:55No one had ever taught me this
18:56I'd thought it was just a casual sign of affection
18:59I'd been a tamer all these years for nothing
19:01Did that mean I'd been perverted
19:03When I watched my sister touch Wesley's tail
19:05And my sister touched so many beasts' tails
19:08Did her magic get stronger every time?
19:10I thought it was just talent
19:11I quickly let go of Caspian's tail
19:13My face was hot
19:14Caspian turned back and looked at me seriously
19:16Don't misunderstand Lena
19:18I want you to
19:18It just feels intense
19:21I looked away
19:22He took my hand again
19:23Guiding my fingers along his tail
19:25Everywhere I touched
19:26Golden light glowed
19:27I was born in the wastelands
19:29I was taken to the arena when I was small
19:31They wanted me to fight
19:32I refused
19:33I barely escaped
19:34I thought I'd live in the shadows forever
19:36I didn't see the point
19:37Then I met you Lena
19:39My heart ached
19:40Caspian had suffered so much
19:41If I'd met him instead of Calus back then
19:43Would everything be different?
19:45He kept talking
19:45I want to bond with you
19:47Be with you forever
19:48If you don't mind that I'm ugly
19:49Of course not
19:50I blurted out
19:51I meant I didn't mind
19:53Lena
19:53Is that a yes?
19:54His heart pounded wildly
19:56It stirred something in my heart too
19:58I thought about saying no
19:59But when I opened my mouth I said
20:01Yes
20:02Looking ahead
20:03A life with Caspian didn't seem so bad
20:05Caspian took care of me
20:07I took care of his leg
20:08Slowly we both got better
20:09Every evening we walk through the hills
20:11The breeze in our faces
20:13Neither of us had happy memories to look back on
20:16But walking hand in hand
20:17We always had things to talk about
20:19The wind is strong today
20:20Lots of berries fell from the mountain
20:22We were about to gather some for dinner
20:24Then I heard someone call my name from behind
20:26Lena
20:27My heart stopped
20:28Why was he here?
20:30I froze
20:30I used to have hope for this man
20:32My father
20:33I hoped he'd remember his younger daughter
20:35Even if he didn't love me
20:36At least don't act like I don't exist
20:38He bought magic candy and dolls for my sister
20:41But he never did anything for me
20:42He'd barely even smiled at me my whole life
20:44But blood is strange
20:45He treated me like a stranger
20:47Still hearing he was dying made me sad
20:49As a daughter I should be there at the end
20:51Even if he didn't care whether I came or not
20:53Caspian looked at me with worry
20:55I said to him
20:55Caspian let me heal your face
20:57Caspian looked down
20:58Lena are you going back to that house?
21:00I squeezed his hand
21:01Don't overthink it
21:02I just don't want anyone to look down on you
21:04If we went back to house Karen
21:05I'd have to hear all those insults again
21:07I couldn't let him hear them too
21:09Caspian nodded gently
21:10I trust you
21:11It's in a beast's nature to be cautious
21:13But after everything Caspian had been through
21:15He could still trust someone
21:16That made his trust precious
21:18I couldn't help touching his face
21:19The skin without scars was smoother than any woman's
21:22Suddenly Caspian revealed his true form
21:25His tail wrapped around my waist
21:27It felt hard against my stomach
21:28And warm
21:29I touched his golden scales gently
21:31All the way to the tip of his tail
21:33Caspian's body trembled
21:34His voice was rough
21:36Lena did you touch his tail too?
21:38I knew who he meant
21:38He hated when I touched him
21:40Because I wasn't the one he wanted
21:41Caspian's eyes lit up
21:43Don't touch him anymore
21:44I don't like the way he looks at you
21:46That night Caspian didn't sleep in his room
21:48He climbed into my bed
21:49He said he wanted to stay warm with me
21:51I knew Calus' sudden appearance had made him anxious
21:54So I let him
21:55When he got emotional he'd shift into his true form
21:57I hadn't paid attention before
21:59But now I noticed a horn on his forehead
22:01Wyverns don't have horns
22:02I stopped Caspian from moving against me
22:05What are you?
22:05I asked
22:06Caspian's eyes were red
22:08He could barely stay conscious
22:09Whatever you say I am
22:11He said
22:11I'm that
22:12He didn't know what he really was
22:14The golden light on his tail
22:15The horn on his head
22:17Hard as a blade
22:18They looked like the symbols on the dragon carvings
22:20My sister and I saw in the ruins
22:22Could Caspian be?
22:23I didn't dare finish the thought
22:24Caspian didn't give me time to think
22:26His true form was incredibly strong
22:28He wrapped around me
22:29Nothing like the gentle Caspian I knew
22:31I held him back
22:33Wrapped in layers of his body
22:34I felt completely safe
22:35I forgot about House Karen
22:37Forgot about Calus
22:38Forgot 20 years of pain and struggle
22:41The next day I found an excuse to send Caspian away
22:44I held a blade to my eye
22:46The skin under the blade throbbed
22:48You never learn do you?
22:50I laughed bitterly
22:51But going back to House Karen
22:52This was the fastest way to heal Caspian
22:54I bit down and pressed the blade in
22:57The familiar pain hit me
22:58Then a clink
22:59The blade fell to the ground
23:00Didn't I send Caspian away?
23:02How was he back?
23:02His eyes were wide
23:03Are you hurting yourself?
23:05Seeing his panic I explained quickly
23:07No, no
23:07I was just getting some magic blood
23:09I know I have weak magic
23:10But my blood is good for you
23:12Drink it
23:12The scars on your face and your leg will heal
23:15Caspian stepped forward
23:16He backed me into the corner
23:17It was the first time I'd seen him so angry
23:19No one is worth hurting yourself like this
23:22Not even me
23:23His words exploded in my ears
23:24But in my memory Calus' voice echoed too
23:27If it's not enough, take more
23:28She's obsessed with me anyway
23:30Fake love and real love
23:32There's no comparison
23:33Looking at Caspian's angry face
23:34My heart felt soft instead
23:36I weakly tugged his sleeve
23:38Just once
23:38One extraction
23:39It'll heal most of your injuries
23:41But Caspian ignored me
23:42He touched the scar on my chest instead
23:44You got this wound for him, didn't you?
23:46Caspian is almost jealous of him
23:48Then he let go of me
23:49He reached into his own chest
23:50And pulled
23:51Sweat poured down his fore
23:52Veins bulged
23:54I grabbed him, trying to steady him
23:55His body heat burned my palm
23:57Then a flash of gold
23:58A dark green scale appeared in his palm
24:01He pressed it over my eye
24:02I stared at Caspian in shock
24:03What are you doing?
24:05Are you trying to get yourself killed?
24:06My heart scale
24:07Nothing can pierce it
24:09Now you can't hurt yourself anymore
24:11He'd torn out his own heart scale
24:12I touched my chest
24:14The scale had already merged with me
24:15A pure, powerful magic gathered there
24:18And the scar I'd had for years was gone
24:20I finally understood why Caspian had been sent to the arena
24:23His power was terrifying
24:25So much stronger than my clumsy magic
24:27He had this incredible healing power
24:29But he never used it on himself
24:31He let me fumble and make things worse
24:33So many times
24:34I choked out
24:35Why?
24:36Why didn't you heal yourself?
24:37Caspian smiled weakly
24:39Because if I healed my wounds
24:40You would have sent me away
24:42So he kept his wounds on purpose
24:43Tears filled my eyes again
24:45Caspian panicked and tried to wipe them away
24:47But the more he wiped
24:48The more they fell
24:50He used his magic desperately
24:51Your wounds are healed now
24:53Don't cry
24:53Through the blur of tears
24:55I looked at Caspian
24:56The scars on his face were gone
24:57His skin was pale underneath
24:59But beneath the scars
25:00He was breathtakingly beautiful
25:02Eyes like black gems
25:04Set in long, narrow sockets
25:05A straight, perfect nose
25:07Lips as red as cherry blossoms
25:09Skin as smooth as jade
25:11Every angle perfect
25:13This beautiful man was Caspian
25:15The better he was
25:16The more worthless I felt
25:18The old self-doubt came rushing back
25:20Caspian saw my face change
25:21Lena, do you not like how I look?
25:23I can change back
25:24He reached for scissors
25:25I stopped him
25:26I pushed down my rising self-hatred
25:28And forced a smile
25:29Caspian, you're beautiful
25:31Everyone in town came to stare at Caspian
25:33The neighbours all praised him
25:35Lena, you really found a treasure
25:36Caspian is so capable
25:38And so handsome
25:39I've never seen such a handsome beast
25:41In my whole life
25:42Caspian blushed at all the attention
25:44I looked up at him
25:45The sun gilded him in gold
25:47Yes, Caspian was wonderful
25:49I didn't deserve someone so wonderful
25:51When I brought Caspian back to House Karen
25:53Everyone praised his looks too
25:55Even Eliza Karen came up to him
25:56You're too beautiful to be stuck with Lena
25:59Did she force you?
26:00Word had spread that I'd abandoned Calus
26:02So of course they assumed the worst
26:04Caspian frowned
26:05I chose her
26:06She wants nothing from me
26:07Eliza wouldn't give up
26:08Come with me instead
26:09I already have a bonded beast
26:11But I'm the strongest in House Karen
26:13I can help you train
26:14She didn't care at all about Wesley behind her
26:16Or Calus hiding in the shadows
26:18Caspian stepped behind me
26:20He pointed at me
26:20She is my Temer
26:21Only her
26:22I don't care how strong you are
26:24And besides
26:24Who's the strongest is still up for debate
26:26I liked the first half
26:28The second half confused me
26:29For the first time in twenty years
26:31Eliza had been rejected by a beast
26:33Eliza was furious
26:35And there were consequences
26:36The entire House Karen stopped praising Caspian's looks
26:39And started gossiping about his past instead
26:42Sure Caspian's good looking
26:44But he's just a low level sky serpent
26:46He'll never be a real dragon
26:48Honestly
26:48He and Lena
26:50That failure deserve each other
26:53Our family's got Issa
26:55That's all we need
26:55Now that the twin Hue dragons have chosen her as their master
26:58Lena's always going to be trampled under Issa's feet
27:01Caspian covered my ears
27:02I shook my head and pulled his hands down
27:04I said
27:04Caspian I grew up hearing this kind of talk
27:06I'm used to it
27:07Caspian gently touched my face
27:09His eyes full of pity
27:11I took him to the valley to look at the moon
27:13That's where we ran into Caius
27:15Caius snapped
27:17This is our place
27:18How could you bring him here?
27:20I said
27:21Caius
27:21The moon in the sky doesn't belong to anyone
27:25And by the way
27:26We
27:27Doesn't really work for you and me anymore
27:29He stormed over to grab my shoulder
27:30But Caspian threw his hand up
27:33And blasted him back with pure force
27:35Caius stared at his own hand in disbelief
27:38Then looked at Caspian
27:42No way
27:44Aren't you just a sky serpent?
27:46If you lay a hand on her again
27:48I'll make you disappear from this world
27:50I looked at Caspian
27:52It felt so good to be defended like that
27:54Caius pulled himself together
27:57The head of the family wants to see you before she passes
27:59Tonight might be your last chance
28:02Huey dragons have an incredibly accurate sense of life and death
28:06Their premonitions are almost never wrong
28:09Still, I was confused
28:11If she's dying and wants to see someone
28:14Shouldn't it be Aissa?
28:16Don't worry
28:17I'll be back soon
28:18But the second I turned away
28:21I missed the dark, hateful look in Caius' eyes
28:24The moment I stepped into the main courtyard
28:27I knew something was wrong
28:29It was filled with restrictions
28:31My magic was almost completely suppressed
28:34I looked back at Caius
28:36He wasn't affected at all
28:38Was this my intuition warning me?
28:40I tried to leave
28:41But then Aissa and Wesley stepped out from the shadows
28:44Lina, my dear little sister
28:48It's been a few years
28:50You've gotten sharper
28:54Caius, come here
28:56His body went stiff
28:58He couldn't look me in the eye
29:00Head down
29:01He walked over to Aissa
29:03I asked
29:04What are you planning to do?
29:06Aissa chuckled softly
29:07Lina, don't be scared
29:09I just need a little favor from you
29:11I almost laughed
29:12She's never wanted my help with anything
29:14Because heaven forbid anyone say she had to turn to a failure like me
29:18When I didn't answer
29:20Aissa stepped closer and traced little circles over my heart with her fingertip
29:24Caius told me your magical essence is perfect for cultivation
29:28So I thought I'd borrow some from you
29:31I turned to Caius in shock
29:33So the news about my father dying
29:35Luring me here
29:37It was all to help Aissa and Wesley take my essence
29:40The boy I'd treasured for ten years
29:43He felt like a complete stranger now
29:45Caius looked away
29:47I closed my eyes and let out a long
29:49Caius
29:49Heavy breath
29:51Aissa and I are sisters
29:52We share the same blood
29:55So why does it have to be mine?
29:57Aissa leaned softly against Wesley's chest
29:59But her fingers kept playing with Caius' dark hair
30:04Because I hate pain
30:06And Caius can't stand seeing me hurt
30:09Isn't that right?
30:11Under her gaze
30:13Caius nodded
30:14Seeing that I finally burst out laughing
30:18Then I looked him dead in the eye
30:19And said
30:20Caius
30:20Word for word
30:22You make me sick
30:23I threw his own words right back at him
30:26His lips pressed into a tight line
30:28He finally lifted his head to look at me
30:30Whatever was in his eyes
30:32Struggle
30:33Guilt
30:34Hesitation
30:34It didn't matter to me anymore
30:36Lina
30:38My dear little sister
30:39Wesley and Caius are about to awaken and become true dragons
30:44Just give them your magical elements
30:46And we'll make it up to you later
30:48Aissa put on a fake sweet voice
30:50She still thought I was that little girl she used to mess with
30:53Two Huey dragons awakening at once
30:56Draining every last drop of my magical essence wouldn't even be enough
31:00The whole continent can't have two dragon lords
31:03Between Caius and Wesley
31:05One of them is doomed to fall
31:08And for that maybe
31:09That one in a million chance
31:11The boy I once cared about most
31:14And the sister I grovelled to please
31:16Were ready to sacrifice me
31:18My hands and feet trembled
31:20My whole body went cold
31:21The only warmth I felt came from the scales over my heart
31:25I touched them and thought
31:27Caspian is a true dragon
31:29Caius and Wesley wanting to become dragons?
31:32It's laughable
31:33They've been flattered for so long
31:35They've forgotten their own blood and place
31:37Not that that's surprising
31:38Aissa saw the sneer on my face and lost it
31:41She ordered Caius to tie me up
31:43He hesitated for just a second
31:45Then he walked toward me
31:47Every step crushed whatever little feeling I had left for him
31:51Caius said
31:53Lena, don't fight it
31:54It won't hurt as much
31:56How thoughtful
31:57How gentle
31:58Then I said ice cold
32:00Caius
32:01You're going to regret this
32:03While pretending to tighten the ropes
32:05Lena, once I awaken and become a dragon
32:06He leaned in and whispered
32:07Go
32:07Just help me one more time
32:09I won't let anything happen to you
32:12Trust me
32:15Back then, even saying my name annoyed him
32:18Now he kept saying it over and over
32:21And it just made me sick
32:22Caius
32:23The boy I used to treasure
32:26He'd become someone I didn't recognize anymore
32:29Caius dragged me over to Aissa
32:31She took a sword
32:32And stabbed me right in the chest
32:34But there wasn't a single mark on me
32:36Her eyes went wide in disbelief
32:39She tried again
32:40And again
32:41Stab after stab
32:43Nothing worked
32:45Aissa hissed
32:46No way
32:47No way, Lena
32:48What kind of dark magic did you use?
32:50I gave a cold laugh
32:51Aissa
32:52You can't hurt me
32:53She handed the sword to Caius
32:55Here
32:56You try
32:57Caius tested it with one stab
32:59Same result
33:00Aissa snapped
33:02Try somewhere else, Caius
33:04There's no way we're not getting any essence out of her
33:06His hand trembled slightly as he stabbed my left arm
33:10This time
33:11Magical essence began to seep out
33:13Seeing that
33:15Aissa's mood lifted
33:16She was so desperate for the position of family head
33:20And the power of being Dragon Lord's wife
33:22That she'd completely lost herself
33:25Caius kept stabbing me
33:26Over and over
33:28The essence pouring out of me made both Caius and Wesley lose control
33:33And shift into their true forms
33:35I thought to myself
33:37It hurts so much
33:39I wish I could hug Caspian right now
33:41His arms are so warm
33:43He'd gently pat my back
33:45The way my mother used to when she put Aissa to sleep
33:48I knew Caspian would keep waiting for me in that little town
33:51He'd always been so gentle
33:53I just hoped that after I died
33:56He'd find a good master
33:57Someone who wouldn't put him through more pain
34:00As more and more of my essence was drained
34:03My body grew weaker and weaker
34:06Then suddenly
34:07A deafening roar echoed from above
34:10Everyone stopped
34:11They all looked up and rushed toward the sound
34:14They saw what Aissa was doing to me
34:16Every single one of them
34:18But no one stopped her
34:20They were more focused on that cry in the sky
34:23Than on the fact that I was dying
34:25Even the elders
34:26Who barely ever showed their faces
34:29Came running
34:30Tears streamed down their wrinkled, bark-like faces
34:34That's a dragon's roar
34:36The dragon lord has come
34:39Hearing this
34:40Everyone in the Cairn family
34:42Turned to look at Caius and Wesley
34:43Who were standing beside Aissa
34:45The Cairns were the only family on the entire continent
34:49That had Huey dragons
34:51The creatures closest to true dragons
34:54But neither Caius nor Wesley had awakened yet
34:57So where did that roar come from?
35:00Elder, are you sure?
35:02Our family's Huey dragons haven't awakened
35:04How can there be a real long on to know?
35:05The elder sighed deeply
35:07Sadly, it seems our family was never worthy of that honor
35:10A true dragon has appeared
35:12The Huey dragons have lost their chance to awaken
35:14No, no way
35:16My beast has to become dragon lord
35:18All we need is enough magical essence
35:19That's it
35:20Magical essence
35:21Her face twisted with rage
35:23She snatched the sword from Caius and raised it to stab me
35:26I knew I'd reached my limit
35:27I probably couldn't survive another hit from her
35:30So I just closed my eyes
35:31Aissa's sword came flying at me
35:33And then hit the ground with a heavy thud
35:35I opened my eyes
35:37I could feel my magic coming back
35:39My wounds began to heal
35:41Slowly
35:41The restraints that had been suppressing me disappeared
35:45Roar after roar echoed from above
35:47A crushing pressure descended from the sky
35:49Forcing every beast companion in the family to bow to the ground
35:53Caius and Wesley struggled a little longer than the others
35:57But eventually, they dropped to their knees too
35:59I looked up
36:00A massive dragon was weaving through the clouds
36:02The red scales on its tail shimmered with dark light
36:05And beneath them, faint gold flickered
36:08It was Caspian
36:12Caius, Wesley
36:13Do you know your mistake?
36:16You know exactly what you've done
36:18The two of them knelt low
36:20Their eyes bleeding crimson tears from the sheer pressure of the true dragon
36:24I looked over and saw the fierce unwillingness in their eyes
36:28But in the face of absolute power
36:30All they could do was bow their heads in respect
36:32Great dragon lord
36:34We know we were wrong
36:36The rest of the Karen family had no idea why the true dragon had appeared just to punish their beasts
36:42But Isa had a guess
36:43She glared at me with pure hatred
36:47Lena
36:47I know this is you
36:49What kind of deal did you make with that evil dragon?
36:52The family's faces went pale
36:54Magic household or not
36:56There was nothing they could do against a dragon lord
36:59Isa's disrespect terrified them
37:01She grabbed the sword off the ground and lunged at me again
37:04Caspian shifted into human form and landed in front of me
37:07He crushed the sword between two fingers
37:09Then, with a flick of his energy
37:11Pinned Isa to a pillar not far away
37:14Ice pierced through her hands and feet
37:16Tearing the tendons wide open
37:19Broken ribs jutted out from her side
37:21The pain she felt was a hundred times worse than what I had just endured
37:25Caspian lowered his gaze to the wounds on my body
37:28His eyes were filled with pain
37:30I'm sorry
37:31I came too late
37:33I shook my head
37:34No
37:35You came right on time
37:37Seeing the family's prodigy tortured like that
37:40One of the Karen elders stepped forward
37:43Great dragon lord
37:44You may be the ruler of this continent
37:46But you can't just attack a beast taker like that
37:49Isa is our family's most gifted member
37:51And the next head of the household
37:53Please, spare her
37:55Caspian pulled me protectively into his arms
37:57Anger burned in his eyes
37:59He swept his gaze across the Karen family
38:02And let out a cold laugh
38:04I don't kill beast hampers
38:05But I do kill those who refuse to see the truth
38:08Who can't tell right from wrong
38:10The elder looked confused
38:12Great dragon lord
38:13What do you mean?
38:15The elder stepped forward and examined my energy
38:17Then his face went pale with shock
38:20How is this possible?
38:21When Lena was born, her magic was barely there
38:23She grew up average at best
38:25But now, her power is so rich she rivals me
38:28I was just as shocked
38:30I looked up at Caspian
38:31He lowered his gaze to me and explained patiently
38:35Lena, there was a seal placed inside you
38:37It could only be broken by bonding with a magical beast
38:40Your sister Isa knew this secret all along
38:42That's why she broke through the seal before you did
38:45Isa had known from the very beginning
38:48No wonder she'd always told me never to touch a beast's tail when we were kids
38:52She said a low-level tamer like me would get killed by them
38:55All those years
38:56She stood by and watched me get mocked
38:59Ignored
39:00Left to struggle and scrape by in the Karen family
39:03I'd bowed and scraped before her like a servant
39:07Pouring out all the warmth I never got from our parents
39:10And throwing it at her feet instead
39:12And she'd been planning to keep me down from the very start
39:17Isa screened at the top of her lungs
39:19Lena, you worthless failure
39:21You'll never be better than me
39:23Our parents love the Karen family's honor
39:25The beast's loyalty is all mine
39:28Caspian flicked his hand and Isa's teeth scattered all over the ground
39:32Then he pulled out a mirror from somewhere and held it up in front of me
39:35I stared at the stunning beauty in the reflection
39:38For a moment, I couldn't believe my own eyes
39:40Caspian said softly
39:42Lena, I told you before
39:44You're beautiful
39:45The most beautiful person I've ever seen
39:47The sudden change
39:48My looks, my overwhelming magic caught me completely off guard
39:52No wonder he'd insisted on sleeping beside me every single night
39:56Before we came back to the Karen family
39:58While he was forming his dragon body
40:00My magic had been growing fast too
40:02This wasn't the innocent, gentle little sky serpent I'd found back then
40:06This dragon had been playing the long game all along
40:09With Isa's magic shattered and my own natural talent now undeniable
40:13The elder finally shut his mouth
40:16Then my mother came running out of the house sobbing
40:18And told us my father was gone
40:20Without missing a beat
40:22The elder raised my hand and announced to the entire Karen family
40:25Lena is the next head of the Karen family
40:28All those who'd once mocked me now had sour looks on their faces
40:32My mother rushed to the pillar where Isa was pinned
40:34Crying out her name in anguish
40:36Then she turned to glare at me with pure hatred
40:39She wanted to strike me, but Caspian's presence scared her off
40:43I should have felt satisfied
40:44But all I felt was a hollow sadness
40:47I pulled my hand back from the elder
40:49I don't care about being the head of the Karen family
40:51I want to be the dragon lord's wife
40:54Caspian looked at me with nothing but pure affection in his eyes
40:57Everyone else was shocked speechless
40:59Caspian nodded
41:01Sweetheart, he said
41:02I was thinking the exact same thing
41:04Out of nowhere
41:04He pulled out a magic ring and slipped it onto my finger
41:07It was one I'd loved a long time ago
41:10The one I could never bring myself to buy
41:12The moment the ring settled at the base of my finger
41:14A voice came from the ground
41:16It was Caius
41:17Lena loves me
41:19He said
41:20I have a ring too
41:21See?
41:22The one you begged me to make you back then
41:24In his hand
41:25Caius held up a silver ring
41:27All those years ago
41:29I'd fallen in love with those magic silver rings
41:31I begged Caius for so long to make one for me
41:35He finally agreed
41:36Every day I waited
41:38Hoping he'd finish it and give it to me
41:40But when it was done
41:41It just disappeared
41:43Days later
41:44I saw the exact same ring on Isa's finger
41:47I told myself it was a coincidence
41:49Those magic silver rings all looked alike
41:52Unless Caius actually said he'd given it to her
41:55It wasn't true
41:56That's what I told myself
41:58And just like that
41:59I fooled myself one more time
42:01I stepped out of Caspian's arms
42:03And walked over to Caius
42:04He held up the silver ring
42:06Pushing it toward me
42:07Desperate for me to see it
42:09The way I'd spent ten years
42:10Being desperate for him to see me
42:12Caius
42:13Some things
42:14Once they're missed
42:15They can't be fixed
42:17People too
42:18No, Lena
42:19Give me a chance to make it right
42:21I really want to bond with you
42:23It wasn't until after you left
42:24That I realized
42:25I never loved Isa
42:26It was always you
42:29The way I felt about her
42:30That was just instinct
42:32I just didn't want to be weaker than Wesley
42:34I said flatly
42:36Caius
42:36Do you remember that time
42:38I actually touched your tail
42:39And you said it was disgusting?
42:40Do you remember when I was covered in wounds
42:42From a beast attack
42:43And you kicked me out of the house
42:44Because you didn't want to smell the blood?
42:46And do you remember pushing me off a cliff
42:48Just to protect Isa?
42:49He had no answer to any of it
42:50Then he shifted
42:52Letting his tail form
42:53And placing it in front of me
42:55Lena, I was wrong
42:56Do whatever you want to me
42:57I only tricked you into coming here
42:58Because I wanted to become a dragon
43:00As fast as I could
43:00So I could protect you
43:01I want to be with you forever
43:03I love you
43:03Back then
43:04I used to think Caius' tail was beautiful
43:07Now I felt nothing
43:08I said quietly
43:09It's too late for all that, Caius
43:11But I do have to thank you
43:13Because of you
43:14I met Caspian
43:15Caius stayed kneeling where he was
43:16His fingernails dug deep into the ground
43:19Carving long grooves
43:20He looked up at me
43:21The corners of his eyes burning red
43:24Lena
43:25You already knew
43:26Didn't you?
43:28I knew what he was asking
43:29About Caspian's true identity
43:31Or about his own ugly intentions
43:33Maybe both
43:34I didn't answer
43:36I just turned my gaze into the distance
43:39Caspian's arm tightened around my waist
43:41His voice rang out loud and clear
43:43For everyone to hear
43:44Do you all really not remember
43:46Why the true dragons vanished from this continent
43:48And why they've returned?
