00:21Every girl in the north dreams of her binding day.
00:24None of them dream of the cage.
00:25My people used to be the best dragon callers alive.
00:28We have not called one in a hundred years.
00:30A sky people with no dragons is just prey.
00:33So my father sells the only thing he has left.
00:35Me.
00:50Skybound.
00:51I came for what is promised.
01:03You belong to me now.
01:12Get up and dress.
01:14The Black Claw warlord rides for our gate at dusk.
01:17And you will be waiting at the binding altar to take him as your husband.
01:20A husband?
01:20You have kept me behind these walls my whole life.
01:22I have never even spoken to a man who was not my guard.
01:25You will speak to this one tonight and bear his children after.
01:29Ravek of the Black Claw.
01:30His dragons are the only thing between us and the Froskin.
01:33He wants you for them.
01:34So my blood buys your dragons and you call it a treaty.
01:38I am trading one girl to keep ten thousand people alive.
01:41Say no.
01:42And the Black Claw rides south.
01:44The Froskin come down off that ridge.
01:45And everyone in this keep is dead by spring.
01:47I am not the answer to your problems.
01:50Find another way.
01:51Then walk out that door and tell ten thousand people yourself.
01:54I will not be sold to a Black Claw warlord to pay for your war.
01:57Find another way.
01:58Cassia, you will not shame me in front of the whole keep.
