Okay y'all I just finished Goodbye My Ex I'm Marrying the Dragon Prince and this one hits different. Mira is the real daughter of the Hale family. But she keeps giving everything up for Lia – the adopted sister. Her room. Her dragon rider position. Her inheritance. Then Draegoth, the dragon her mother left her, gets trained to obey Lia alone and nearly kills Mira.
That's when Mira wakes up. Garrick, her fiancé of eight years, has always seen her as gullible. So she walks barefoot across burning coals, breaks the engagement, and turns to marry Theron, the Lord of the North, who has waited eight years for her.
🧵 Here's your episode timeline:
- Episodes 1-10: Mira returning to the Hale family, the systematic surrendering to Lia, Garrick's cold indifference
- Episodes 11-20: Draegoth being retrained, the near-death incident, Mira realizing Garrick never loved her
- Episodes 21-30: Walking barefoot across burning coals, breaking the engagement, turning to Theron
- Episodes 31-end: The Northern wedding, Garrick, Lia and Cael arriving in shock, regret too late, Mira's mother's dragon returning to her
No cuts, no skips – full uncut version. The burning coals scene is brutal, the Northern wedding is gorgeous, and that moment when Garrick realizes who the bride is? Chef's kiss. If you're not watching this yet, start now.
Who else screamed when she walked across those coals? 🏃♀️✨

微电影文字稿
00:00:05Not far from my cabin, I saw Lea with Dra'gol, the dragon that was supposed to be mine.
00:00:10Dragoth stood calm beneath her, like he's done this a thousand times.
00:00:14No one would guess he was a wild beast.
00:00:17Lea yanked the reins, and Dragoth reared with a roar.
00:00:24Sorry, Meera. This dragon seems to like me more.
00:00:28So Gareth gave him to me instead.
00:00:32If you mind, I can give it back to you.
00:00:34But her hands never loosened on the reins.
00:00:37Dragoth lowered his head and pressed his snout to her hand.
00:00:40He had never bound his head for anyone before.
00:00:42Garak trained him well for my sister.
00:00:44Meera, just let Lea have Dragoth.
00:00:46It's not a big deal. I can just tame another dragon for you.
00:00:49I remained silent, trying to suppress the anger that rose inside me.
00:00:52My brother quickly took their side, like he always does.
00:00:55Come on, Meera. We're all family.
00:00:58There's no reason why you can't let Lea have Dragoth.
00:01:00Lea is your sister. Be kind to her.
00:01:03Be kind to Lea?
00:01:04Those were the words I heard over and over again growing up.
00:01:07But this time, I'm done playing nice.
00:01:10They have no idea what Dragoth means to me.
00:01:13In the Northern Highlands, we have a tradition.
00:01:15The groom must tame a wild dragon for his bride as a wedding gift.
00:01:19Three days before our wedding, Garak tamed a dragon and held a feast.
00:01:23Look! That's the wild dragon Garak tamed for Meera. It's so big!
00:01:26Lucky Meera. She'll be the happiest bride in the North.
00:01:31Then suddenly, the dragon's tail snapped up and slammed against my back.
00:01:35I fell off the dragon and nearly passed out from the pain.
00:01:41Even though my eyes were closed, I could hear my brother Kale and Garak talk in low voices.
00:01:47You tamed this dragon for Lea. Of course Meera won't be able to mount it.
00:01:50You know she'll be heartbroken if she finds out.
00:01:53In the North, who hasn't fallen off a dragon before? Meera will be fine.
00:01:57What if she asks you about it?
00:01:59I'll cook her a nice meal and say some sweet words. You know she can't stay mad at me.
00:02:03I'm already marrying Meera. My dragon can only belong to Lea. It's only fair.
00:02:09Those were the last heart-sheddering words I heard before I fully passed out.
00:02:13When I awoke again, I sent a letter to the man who's been waiting for me for eight years.
00:02:17The man who ruled the North and had an entire fleet of dragons.
00:02:22Can you tame a dragon for me? I'll marry you.
00:02:32My bones still ached from the pain of getting smacked off the dragon.
00:02:36Every breath felt like a razor slussing down my windpipe.
00:02:39But I went back to the dragon field anyway.
00:02:42Some things you need to see with your own eyes.
00:02:44Not far from my cabin, I saw Lea with Draegol, the dragon that was supposed to be mine.
00:02:50Dragoth stood calm beneath her, like he's done this a thousand times.
00:02:53No one would guess he was a wild beast.
00:02:56Lea yanked the reins, and Dragoth reared with a roar.
00:03:04Sorry, Meera. This dragon seems to like me more.
00:03:07So Gareth gave him to me instead.
00:03:11If you mind, I can give it back to you.
00:03:14But her hands never loosened on the reins.
00:03:16Dragdoth lowered his head and pressed his snout to her hand.
00:03:19He had never bound his head for anyone before.
00:03:22Gareth trained him well for my sister.
00:03:24Meera, just let Lea have Dragdoth.
00:03:26It's not a big deal. I can just tame another dragon for you.
00:03:28I remained silent, trying to suppress the anger that rose inside me.
00:03:32My brother quickly took their side, like he always does.
00:03:35Come on, Meera. We're all family.
00:03:37There's no reason why you can't let Lea have Dragdoth.
00:03:40Lea is your sister. Be kind to her.
00:03:42Be kind to Lea.
00:03:44Those were the words I heard over and over again growing up.
00:03:47But this time, I'm done playing nice.
00:03:50They have no idea what Dragdoth means to me.
00:03:53When I was a toddler, I wandered off and got separated from my family.
00:03:57They didn't find me again until I was ten.
00:04:01Daddy.
00:04:03I'm home.
00:04:05Daddy, Meera's back.
00:04:07She's your real daughter.
00:04:08This is her home, not mine.
00:04:10Now that she's home, no one's going to love me anymore.
00:04:13Don't say that, Lea.
00:04:14You'll always be our precious little princess.
00:04:17As far as I'm concerned, you're the only sister I have.
00:04:23Look, Meera.
00:04:24Father brought this doll back from the market for me yesterday.
00:04:27He said it was the prettiest one there.
00:04:30Meera, if you really like it, I can give it to you.
00:04:33It was a gift from Father, so please, don't snatch it from me and break it.
00:04:38Meera, what do you think you're doing?
00:04:40Lea, don't cry.
00:04:41I'm here.
00:04:42No one will take your doll away.
00:04:43So they loved her harder.
00:04:45The bigger room went to her.
00:04:47The nicer dresses.
00:04:48First pick of every new toy.
00:04:50And every time they turned away, Lea made sure I knew she'd won.
00:04:54And I let her have it all.
00:04:56Now she wants Dragdoth.
00:05:01Dragdoth is all I have left of my mother.
00:05:03The last hatchling of her bonded dragon.
00:05:05The one they buried with her.
00:05:07My mother was the only one in that house who ever truly loved me.
00:05:10On her deathbed, she held my hand and apologized for every unfairness.
00:05:14Then she made me swear to live only for myself.
00:05:17I didn't understand her then.
00:05:19I understand her now.
00:05:21Everyone was watching me.
00:05:23They waited for me to get angry.
00:05:25To throw a tantrum or cry.
00:05:27Because that's what always happens.
00:05:29I'd lose to Lea and I'd cry.
00:05:31But this time, I didn't want to do any of that.
00:05:34I raised my hand and held the whip out to Lea with a smile.
00:05:37They clearly didn't expect me to do that.
00:05:39Sure thing.
00:05:40A good dragon deserves a good whip.
00:05:43Garrick gave him to you, so keep him.
00:05:46Lea's smile froze on her face.
00:05:48Her hand stopped mid-air, unsure whether to take it or not.
00:05:51Kale shot a nervous glance at Garrick.
00:05:53Seeing my reaction, Garrick's face turned cold with anger.
00:05:56Finally, Lea took the whip from me.
00:05:59Thank you, Meera.
00:06:00My lack of temper must have surprised Lea.
00:06:02She probably expected me to make a scene.
00:06:05Then she can pretend to be hurt and win the sympathy of everyone.
00:06:07Wait, but isn't that dragon supposed to be Meera's wedding gift from Garrick?
00:06:11Yeah.
00:06:12Why is Lea asking for it?
00:06:14This is not our tradition.
00:06:16Meera is so generous.
00:06:17She just gave it to her sister too.
00:06:19Lea's being selfish if you ask me.
00:06:21The gossip made Lea feel uneasy.
00:06:23She looked at me with anger in her eyes.
00:06:32Garrick's jaw tightened.
00:06:33He whispered to me.
00:06:34That's enough for today.
00:06:36I'll make a nice meat stew for us tonight.
00:06:38Don't embarrass Lea in front of everyone.
00:06:42I'm going to take her for a ride on her new dragon.
00:06:45I'll be back later tonight.
00:06:48Come on, Meera.
00:06:50I'll take you home.
00:06:51You're still hurt.
00:06:52Don't stand here too long.
00:06:58Come on, Meera.
00:07:00My brother just wanted me to leave quickly so people can stop watching.
00:07:04My brother and my so-called fiancé, they both know they are wrong for doing this.
00:07:07But they chose to do this to me anyway.
00:07:10I spun around and walked back home.
00:07:13When I looked up, Lea and Garrick were already in the air.
00:07:15Seeing them together like real husband and wife, I got the closure I needed.
00:07:19Whatever feelings I had left, they were dead, gone, and buried.
00:07:22It was already midnight when the door finally opened.
00:07:25Cold air swept in, along with the smell of stew.
00:07:28Garrett came in and set a pot on the table.
00:07:30I could smell the faint scent of a woman's perfume as he walked in.
00:07:34Lea's no doubt.
00:07:35I know because she bought it from silk merchants.
00:07:37You can't get it here in the north.
00:07:39I lifted the lid.
00:07:40The stew was already mostly eaten.
00:07:41The pot only had a bit of potatoes and carrots left on the bottom.
00:07:44Garrett had taken off his coat and turned his back to me.
00:07:47Lea said the stew came out perfect.
00:07:49She did a taste test for you.
00:07:50Go ahead and have some.
00:07:51I wanted to laugh.
00:07:52He brought me Lea's leftovers and told me she did a taste test?
00:07:55The pot was already cold.
00:07:56He must have been there for a while.
00:07:58For eight years I waited.
00:07:59I waited for him to tame the dragon and marry me.
00:08:01He always sweared to me the north's tradition could not be broken.
00:08:04His dragon would be loyal to me and no one else.
00:08:06I believed him for eight years.
00:08:08Instead, his dragon answered only to Lea.
00:08:10He thought one pot of stew would make me smile again.
00:08:12And I did smile.
00:08:14I smiled at how foolish I had been.
00:08:17I lifted the pot and tossed it onto the ground.
00:08:20The contents splatter everywhere.
00:08:22I don't want Lea's sloppy seconds.
00:08:25Garrick looked at me shocked.
00:08:26He's never seen me like this before.
00:08:28What the hell are you talking about, Mira?
00:08:30You're going to make a scene just because your sister had some of the stew first?
00:08:33I'm talking about us, Garrett.
00:08:35I'm ending our engagement.
00:08:41Finally, seeing that I was not kidding, Garrett's face twisted with anger.
00:08:45What did you just say?
00:08:46Is this fun for you?
00:08:48Are you done putting on an act?
00:08:50You know what?
00:08:51I'm going to leave so you can think about what you did wrong.
00:08:53Once you know why you're wrong, come apologize to me.
00:08:57He turned to go, then stopped at the door.
00:08:59Tomorrow is Lea's birthday feast.
00:09:01You better not come salking.
00:09:02Just let her be happy for one day.
00:09:04Can you do that?
00:09:05If this is about the dragon, I'll just get you another one.
00:09:08Without another word, Garrick stormed out of the house.
00:09:11I looked at the door Garrett left open.
00:09:14Suddenly, a messenger pigeon flew inside and landed next to me.
00:09:18A note was attached to its legs.
00:09:20From the royal seal, I could already tell who it's from.
00:09:23The dragons are ready.
00:09:25I'll be there tomorrow.
00:09:32The next day was Lea's birthday feast.
00:09:34The tables were full of roast meat and sweet cakes.
00:09:37Many people had turned out for it.
00:09:39When I arrived, Lea stood in the middle of the crowd.
00:09:42She lifted one foot to show off a new pair of boots.
00:09:44The boots were dark brown leather, stitched with fine silver thread.
00:09:47Garrett made these for me by hand.
00:09:49Three whole months.
00:09:50He pricked his fingers raw.
00:09:52The crowd laughed and teased her.
00:09:54Garrett stood beside her, smiling.
00:09:55Then how about you marry him instead?
00:10:04The crowd erupted, loud with disbelief.
00:10:07Oh shit, Mira sounds jealous.
00:10:09Jealousy is never a good look on anyone.
00:10:11Mira, stop with your theatrics.
00:10:12It's not a big deal.
00:10:14I made a pair of boots for Lea, so what?
00:10:16It's her birthday and she's your sister!
00:10:19Garrick's right, Mira.
00:10:20Stop fussing over nothing.
00:10:21Fussing over nothing?
00:10:23My fiancé tames a dragon for my sister.
00:10:25Makes shoes for my sister.
00:10:27Makes me eat the leftover soup of my sister.
00:10:29Why would I want to marry a man who's clearly in love with my sister?
00:10:33I told you last night, Garrick, it's over between us.
00:10:36From the corner of my eye, I could see the smile Lea was trying to contain.
00:10:40This is exactly what she wanted, and I'm giving it to her.
00:10:43End our engagement?
00:10:44We've been together for eight years.
00:10:45Who's going to want to marry you if not me?
00:10:47Who I marry is none of your business.
00:10:48He glanced toward the crowd.
00:10:50Two men stepped out.
00:10:52They walked to the fire pit at the center.
00:10:54They scattered the burning coals across the ground.
00:10:57Fine, then.
00:10:58You want to break the engagement?
00:11:00It is the most sacred promise there is.
00:11:02You know our rules.
00:11:03To break it, you cross the coals barefoot.
00:11:09The room suddenly went so silent you could hear a pin drop.
00:11:12Everyone looked at me, watching for my next move.
00:11:14Even I didn't think Garrett would invoke the old way.
00:11:16I said nothing.
00:11:17Then, without another beat of hesitation, I took off my shoes.
00:11:20I walked to the edge of the coals.
00:11:22I could hear a few people suck in their breaths.
00:11:24The path was narrow, and the heat baked my skin.
00:11:28I lifted my right foot and held it over the fire.
00:11:31The pain nearly made me give up.
00:11:33But then I thought of all the lies he'd fed me over the past eight years.
00:11:36My resolve only grew stronger.
00:11:38Mira, stop!
00:11:39Just apologize to Garrick, and we can pretend none of this ever happened.
00:11:43Searing pain shot up from the sole of my foot.
00:11:45My body swayed, and I almost fell.
00:11:47But I clenched my teeth.
00:11:48I forced out a second step, then a third.
00:11:50Each step drove the pain deeper.
00:11:51Still, I bit down and made no sound.
00:11:53Garrick's gaze grew colder with every step I took.
00:11:56Garrick, stop this.
00:11:57Her feet are burned through the flesh.
00:11:59It has gone too far.
00:12:00Too far?
00:12:01She's the one who wants to break off our engagement.
00:12:03This is the consequence.
00:12:04On the last step, I pitched forward and nearly fainted.
00:12:08But I had crossed it.
00:12:10The vow was broken.
00:12:12Whispers spread through the people.
00:12:14Mira really walked across burning coal?
00:12:16How could she endure something like this?
00:12:18She made no sound.
00:12:19She truly does not want him.
00:12:21Everyone looked at Garrick in disbelief.
00:12:23What is he going to say now?
00:12:25He rushed towards me, face twisted in anger.
00:12:27What tricks are you playing now, huh?
00:12:29I'll give you one last chance, Mira.
00:12:31Apologize to me in front of everyone, and I'll take you back.
00:12:33Everyone in the North knows you've been with me for eight years.
00:12:36No man is going to want you now.
00:12:37Says who?
00:12:48I, Theron Dragomu, Prince of the North, come to ask Mira for her hand in marriage.
00:13:00Not far from my cabin, I saw Leah with Draegol.
00:13:02The dragon that was supposed to be mine.
00:13:05Dragoth stood calm beneath her, like he's done this a thousand times.
00:13:09No one would guess he was a wild beast.
00:13:12Leah yanked the reins, and Dragoth reared with a roar.
00:13:19Sorry, Mira.
00:13:20This dragon seems to like me more.
00:13:23So Gareth gave him to me instead.
00:13:26If you mind, I can give it back to you.
00:13:29But her hands never loosened on the reins.
00:13:32Dragoth lowered his head and pressed his snout to her hand.
00:13:35He had never bound his head for anyone before.
00:13:37Garak trained him well for my sister.
00:13:39Mira, just let Leah have Dragoth.
00:13:41It's not a big deal.
00:13:42I can just tame another dragon for you.
00:13:44I remained silent, trying to suppress the anger that rose inside me.
00:13:47My brother quickly took their side, like he always does.
00:13:51Come on, Mira.
00:13:51We're all family.
00:13:53There's no reason why you can't let Leah have Dragoth.
00:13:55Leah is your sister.
00:13:56Be kind to her.
00:13:58Be kind to Leah?
00:13:59Those were the words I heard over and over again growing up.
00:14:02But this time, I'm done playing nice.
00:14:05They have no idea what Dragoth means to me.
00:14:08In the Northern Highlands, we have a tradition.
00:14:10The groom must tame a wild dragon for his bride as a wedding gift.
00:14:14Three days before our wedding, Garak tamed a dragon and held a feast.
00:14:18Look, that's the wild dragon Garak tamed for Mira.
00:14:20It's so big.
00:14:21Lucky Mira.
00:14:22She'll be the happiest bride in the North.
00:14:26Then suddenly, the dragon's tail snapped up and slammed against my back.
00:14:30I fell off the dragon and nearly passed out from the pain.
00:14:36Even though my eyes were closed, I could hear my brother Kale and Garrett talk in low voices.
00:14:41You tamed this dragon for Leah.
00:14:43Of course, Mira won't be able to mount it.
00:14:45You know she'll be heartbroken if she finds out.
00:14:48In the North, who hasn't fallen off a dragon before?
00:14:51Mira will be fine.
00:14:52What if she asks you about it?
00:14:54I'll cook her a nice meal and say some sweet words.
00:14:56You know she can't stay mad at me.
00:14:58I'm already marrying Mira.
00:15:00My dragon can only belong to Leah.
00:15:02It's only fair.
00:15:04Those were the last heart-sheddering words I heard before I fully passed out.
00:15:07When I awoke again, I sent a letter to the man who's been waiting for me for eight years.
00:15:11The man who ruled the North and had an entire fleet of dragons.
00:15:17Can you tame a dragon for me?
00:15:18I'll marry you.
00:15:26My bones still ached from the pain of getting smacked off the dragon.
00:15:30Every breath felt like a razor slussing down my windpipe.
00:15:34But I went back to the dragon field anyway.
00:15:37Some things you need to see with your own eyes.
00:15:39Not far from my cabin, I saw Leah with Draegol, the dragon that was supposed to be mine.
00:15:45Dragoth stood calm beneath her, like he's done this a thousand times.
00:15:48No one would guess he was a wild beast.
00:15:51Leah yanked the reins, and Dragoth reared with a roar.
00:15:59Sorry, Meera.
00:16:00This dragon seems to like me more.
00:16:02So Gareth gave him to me instead.
00:16:06If you mind, I can give it back to you.
00:16:09But her hands never loosened on the reins.
00:16:11Dragdoth lowered his head and pressed his snout to her hand.
00:16:14He had never bound his head for anyone before.
00:16:16Garak trained him well for my sister.
00:16:19Meera, just let Leah have Dragdoth.
00:16:21It's not a big deal. I can just tame another dragon for you.
00:16:23I remained silent, trying to suppress the anger that rose inside me.
00:16:27My brother quickly took their side, like he always does.
00:16:30Come on, Meera. We're all family.
00:16:32There's no reason why you can't let Leah have Dragdoth.
00:16:35Leah is your sister. Be kind to her.
00:16:37Be kind to Leah?
00:16:39Those were the words I heard over and over again growing up.
00:16:42But this time, I'm done playing nice.
00:16:45They have no idea what Dragdoth means to me.
00:16:48When I was a toddler, I wandered off and got separated from my family.
00:16:51They didn't find me again until I was ten.
00:16:56Daddy.
00:16:58I'm home.
00:17:00Daddy.
00:17:01Meera's back.
00:17:02She's your real daughter.
00:17:03This is her home, not mine.
00:17:05Now that she's home, no one's going to love me anymore.
00:17:08Don't say that, Leah.
00:17:09You'll always be our precious little princess.
00:17:12As far as I'm concerned, you're the only sister I have.
00:17:18Look, Meera.
00:17:19Father brought this doll back from the market for me yesterday.
00:17:21He said it was the prettiest one there.
00:17:26Meera, if you really like it, I can give it to you.
00:17:28It was a gift from Father, so please, don't snatch it from me and break it.
00:17:32Meera, what do you think you're doing?
00:17:35Leah, don't cry.
00:17:36I'm here.
00:17:36No one will take your doll away.
00:17:38So they loved her harder.
00:17:40The bigger room went to her.
00:17:42The nicer dresses.
00:17:43First pick of every new toy.
00:17:45And every time they turned away, Leah made sure I knew she'd won.
00:17:49And I let her have it all.
00:17:51Now she wants Dragoth.
00:17:55Dragoth is all I have left of my mother.
00:17:58The last hatchling of her bonded dragon.
00:18:00The one they buried with her.
00:18:02My mother was the only one in that house who ever truly loved me.
00:18:05On her deathbed, she held my hand and apologized for every unfairness.
00:18:09Then she made me swear to live only for myself.
00:18:12I didn't understand her then.
00:18:14I understand her now.
00:18:16Everyone was watching me.
00:18:18They waited for me to get angry.
00:18:20To throw a tantrum or cry.
00:18:22Because that's what always happens.
00:18:24I'd lose to Leah and I'd cry.
00:18:26But this time, I didn't want to do any of that.
00:18:29I raised my hand and held the whip out to Leah with a smile.
00:18:32They clearly didn't expect me to do that.
00:18:34Sure thing.
00:18:35A good dragon deserves a good whip.
00:18:38Garak gave him to you, so keep him.
00:18:41Leah's smile froze on her face.
00:18:42Her hand stopped mid-air, unsure whether to take it or not.
00:18:45Kale shot a nervous glance at Garak.
00:18:48Seeing my reaction, Garak's face turned cold with anger.
00:18:51Finally, Leah took the whip from me.
00:18:54Thank you, Mira.
00:18:55My lack of temper must have surprised Leah.
00:18:57She probably expected me to make a scene.
00:18:59Then she can pretend to be hurt and win the sympathy of everyone.
00:19:02Wait.
00:19:03But isn't that dragon supposed to be Mira's wedding gift from Garak?
00:19:06Yeah.
00:19:07Why is Leah asking for it?
00:19:09This is not our tradition.
00:19:10Mira is so generous.
00:19:11She just gave it to her sister too.
00:19:13Leah's being selfish if you ask me.
00:19:16The gossip made Leah feel uneasy.
00:19:18She looked at me with anger in her eyes.
00:19:26Garak's jaw tightened.
00:19:28He whispered to me.
00:19:29That's enough for today.
00:19:30I'll make a nice meat stew for us tonight.
00:19:33Don't embarrass Leah in front of everyone.
00:19:37I'm going to take her for a ride on her new dragon.
00:19:40I'll be back later tonight.
00:19:43Come on, Mira.
00:19:44I'll take you home.
00:19:46You're still hurt.
00:19:47Don't stand here too long.
00:19:53Come on, Mira.
00:19:55My brother just wanted me to leave quickly so people can stop watching.
00:19:58My brother and my so-called fiancé, they both know they are wrong for doing this.
00:20:02But they chose to do this to me anyway.
00:20:05I spun around and walked back home.
00:20:08When I looked up, Leah and Garrett were already in the air.
00:20:10Seeing them together like real husband and wife, I got the closure I needed.
00:20:14Whatever feelings I had left, they were dead, gone, and buried.
00:20:17It was already midnight when the door finally opened.
00:20:20Cold air swept in, along with the smell of stew.
00:20:23Garrett came in and set a pot on the table.
00:20:25I could smell the faint scent of a woman's perfume as he walked in.
00:20:29Lie is no doubt.
00:20:30I know because she bought it from silk merchants.
00:20:32You can't get it here in the north.
00:20:33I lifted the lid.
00:20:35The stew was already mostly eaten.
00:20:36The pot only had a bit of potatoes and carrots left on the bottom.
00:20:39Garrett had taken off his coat and turned his back to me.
00:20:42Leah said the stew came out perfect.
00:20:43She did a taste test for you.
00:20:45Go ahead and have some.
00:20:45I wanted to laugh.
00:20:47He brought me Leah's leftovers and told me she did a taste test.
00:20:50The pot was already cold.
00:20:51He must have been there for a while.
00:20:53For eight years I waited.
00:20:54I waited for him to tame the dragon and marry me.
00:20:56He always sweared to me the north's tradition could not be broken.
00:20:59His dragon would be loyal to me and no one else.
00:21:01I believed him for eight years.
00:21:03Instead, his dragon answered only to Leah.
00:21:05He thought one pot of stew would make me smile again.
00:21:07And I did smile.
00:21:09I smiled at how foolish I had been.
00:21:12I lifted the pot and tossed it onto the ground.
00:21:14The contents splatter everywhere.
00:21:17I don't want Leah's sloppy seconds.
00:21:20Garrett looked at me shocked.
00:21:21He's never seen me like this before.
00:21:22What the hell are you talking about, Mira?
00:21:24You're going to make a scene just because your sister had some of the stew first?
00:21:28I'm talking about us, Garrett.
00:21:30I'm ending our engagement.
00:21:35Finally, seeing that I was not kidding, Garrett's face twisted with anger.
00:21:40What did you just say?
00:21:41Is this fun for you?
00:21:43Are you done putting on an act?
00:21:45You know what?
00:21:45I'm going to leave so you can think about what you did wrong.
00:21:48Once you know why you're wrong, come apologize to me.
00:21:51He turned to go, then stopped at the door.
00:21:54Tomorrow is Leah's birthday feast.
00:21:56You better not come sacking.
00:21:57Just let her be happy for one day.
00:21:59Can you do that?
00:22:00If this is about the dragon, I'll just get you another one.
00:22:03Without another word, Garrett stormed out of the house.
00:22:06I looked at the door Garrett left open.
00:22:09Suddenly, a messenger pigeon flew inside and landed next to me.
00:22:13A note was attached to its legs.
00:22:15From the royal seal, I could already tell who it's from.
00:22:18The dragons are ready.
00:22:20I'll be there tomorrow.
00:22:27The next day was Leah's birthday feast.
00:22:29The tables were full of roast meat and sweet cakes.
00:22:32Many people had turned out for it.
00:22:34When I arrived, Leah stood in the middle of the crowd.
00:22:37She lifted one foot to show off a new pair of boots.
00:22:39The boots were dark brown leather, stitched with fine silver thread.
00:22:42Garrett made these for me by hand.
00:22:44Three whole months.
00:22:45He pricked his fingers raw.
00:22:47The crowd laughed and teased her.
00:22:49Garrett stood beside her, smiling.
00:22:50Then how about you marry him instead?
00:22:58The crowd erupted, loud with disbelief.
00:23:02Oh shit, Mira sounds jealous.
00:23:04Jealousy is never a good look on anyone.
00:23:06Mira, stop with your theatrics.
00:23:07It's not a big deal.
00:23:09I made a pair of boots for Leah, so what?
00:23:11It's her birthday and she's your sister!
00:23:13Garak's right, Mira.
00:23:15Stop fussing over nothing.
00:23:16Fussing over nothing?
00:23:18My fiancé tames a dragon for my sister.
00:23:20Makes shoes for my sister.
00:23:22Makes me eat the leftover soup of my sister.
00:23:24Why would I want to marry a man who's clearly in love with my sister?
00:23:28I told you last night, Garak.
00:23:29It's over between us.
00:23:31From the corner of my eye, I could see the smile Leah was trying to contain.
00:23:34This is exactly what she wanted, and I'm giving it to her.
00:23:37End our engagement?
00:23:38We've been together for eight years.
00:23:40Who's going to want to marry you if not me?
00:23:41Who I marry is none of your business.
00:23:43He glanced toward the crowd.
00:23:45Two men stepped out.
00:23:46They walked to the fire pit at the center.
00:23:49They scattered the burning coals across the ground.
00:23:52Fine, then.
00:23:53You want to break the engagement?
00:23:55It is the most sacred promise there is.
00:23:57You know our rules.
00:23:58To break it, you cross the coals barefoot.
00:24:03The room suddenly went so silent you could hear a pin drop.
00:24:06Everyone looked at me, watching for my next move.
00:24:09Even I didn't think Garrett would invoke the old way.
00:24:11I said nothing.
00:24:12Then, without another beat of hesitation, I took off my shoes.
00:24:15I walked to the edge of the coals.
00:24:17I could hear a few people suck in their breaths.
00:24:19The path was narrow, and the heat baked my skin.
00:24:23I lifted my right foot and held it over the fire.
00:24:26The pain nearly made me give up.
00:24:28But then I thought of all the lies he'd fed me over the past eight years.
00:24:31My resolve only grew stronger.
00:24:33Mira, stop!
00:24:34Just apologize to Garak, and we can pretend none of this ever happened.
00:24:38Searing pain shot up from the sole of my foot.
00:24:40My body swayed, and I almost fell.
00:24:42But I clenched my teeth.
00:24:43I forced out a second step, then a third.
00:24:44Each step drove the pain deeper.
00:24:46Still, I bit down and made no sound.
00:24:48Garak's gaze grew colder with every step I took.
00:24:51Garak, stop this.
00:24:52Her feet are burned through the flesh.
00:24:54It has gone too far.
00:24:55Too far?
00:24:56She's the one who wants to break off our engagement.
00:24:58This is the consequence.
00:24:59On the last step, I pitched forward and nearly fainted.
00:25:03But I had crossed it.
00:25:05The vow was broken.
00:25:07Whispers spread through the people.
00:25:09Mira really walked across burning coal?
00:25:11How could she endure something like this?
00:25:13She made no sound.
00:25:14She truly does not want him.
00:25:16Everyone looked at Garak in disbelief.
00:25:18What is he going to say now?
00:25:19He rushed towards me, face twisted in anger.
00:25:22What tricks are you playing now, huh?
00:25:24I'll give you one last chance, Mira.
00:25:26Apologize to me in front of everyone, and I'll take you back.
00:25:28Everyone in the North knows you've been with me for eight years.
00:25:30No man is going to want you now.
00:25:32Says who?
00:25:43I, Theron Dragomu, Prince of the North, come to ask Mira for her hand in Mar-
00:25:55Not far from my cabin, I saw Leah with Draegol.
00:25:57The dragon that was supposed to be mine.
00:26:00Dragoth stood calm beneath her, like he's done this a thousand times.
00:26:03No one would guess he was a wild beast.
00:26:07Leah yanked the reins, and Dragoth reared with a roar.
00:26:14Sorry, Mira.
00:26:15This dragon seems to like me more.
00:26:17So Gareth gave him to me instead.
00:26:21If you mind, I can give it back to you.
00:26:24But her hands never loosened on the reins.
00:26:27Dragoth lowered his head and pressed his snout to her hand.
00:26:29He had never bound his head for anyone before.
00:26:32Garak trained him well for my sister.
00:26:34Mira, just let Leah have Dragoth.
00:26:36It's not a big deal.
00:26:37I can just tame another dragon for you.
00:26:38I remained silent, trying to suppress the anger that rose inside me.
00:26:42My brother quickly took their side, like he always does.
00:26:45Come on, Mira.
00:26:46We're all family.
00:26:48There's no reason why you can't let Leah have Dragoth.
00:26:50Leah is your sister.
00:26:51Be kind to her.
00:26:52Be kind to Leah?
00:26:54Those were the words I heard over and over again growing up.
00:26:57But this time, I'm done playing nice.
00:27:00They have no idea what Dragoth means to me.
00:27:03In the Northern Highlands, we have a tradition.
00:27:05The groom must tame a wild dragon for his bride as a wedding gift.
00:27:09Three days before our wedding, Garak tamed a dragon and held a feast.
00:27:13Look, that's the wild dragon Garak tamed for Mira.
00:27:15It's so big.
00:27:16Lucky Mira.
00:27:17She'll be the happiest bride in the North.
00:27:21Then suddenly, the dragon's tail snapped up and slammed against my back.
00:27:25I fell off the dragon and nearly passed out from the pain.
00:27:31Even though my eyes were closed, I could hear my brother Kale and Garrett talk in low voices.
00:27:37You tamed this dragon for Leah.
00:27:38Of course, Mira won't be able to mount it.
00:27:40You know she'll be heartbroken if she finds out.
00:27:43In the North, who hasn't fallen off a dragon before?
00:27:46Mira will be fine.
00:27:47What if she asks you about it?
00:27:49I'll cook her a nice meal and say some sweet words.
00:27:51You know she can't stay mad at me.
00:27:53I'm already marrying Mira.
00:27:54My dragon can only belong to Leah.
00:27:56It's only fair.
00:27:59Those were the last heart-sheddering words I heard before I fully passed out.
00:28:02When I awoke again, I sent a letter to the man who's been waiting for me for eight years.
00:28:06The man who ruled the North and had an entire fleet of dragons.
00:28:11Can you tame a dragon for me?
00:28:13I'll marry you.
00:28:21My bones still ached from the pain of getting smacked off the dragon.
00:28:25Every breath felt like a razor slussing down my windpipe.
00:28:29But I went back to the dragon field anyway.
00:28:31Some things you need to see with your own eyes.
00:28:34Not far from my cabin, I saw Leah with Draegol, the dragon that was supposed to be mine.
00:28:39Draegol stood calm beneath her, like he's done this a thousand times.
00:28:43No one would guess he was a wild beast.
00:28:46Leah yanked the reins, and Draegol reared with a roar.
00:28:53Sorry, Mira.
00:28:55This dragon seems to like me more.
00:28:57So Gareth gave him to me instead.
00:29:01If you mind, I can give it back to you.
00:29:04But her hands never loosened on the reins.
00:29:06Draggdoth lowered his head and pressed his snout to her hand.
00:29:09He had never bound his head for anyone before.
00:29:11Garrick trained him well for my sister.
00:29:14Mira, just let Leah have Draggdoth.
00:29:15It's not a big deal.
00:29:17I can just tame another dragon for you.
00:29:18I remained silent, trying to suppress the anger that rose inside me.
00:29:21My brother quickly took their side, like he always does.
00:29:25Come on, Mira.
00:29:26We're all family.
00:29:27There's no reason why you can't let Leah have Draggdoth.
00:29:30Leah is your sister.
00:29:31Be kind to her.
00:29:32Be kind to Leah?
00:29:34Those were the words I heard over and over again growing up.
00:29:37But this time, I'm done playing nice.
00:29:40They have no idea what Draggdoth means to me.
00:29:43When I was a toddler, I wandered off and got separated from my family.
00:29:46They didn't find me again until I was ten.
00:29:51Daddy.
00:29:53I'm home.
00:29:55Daddy, Mira's back.
00:29:57She's your real daughter.
00:29:58This is her home, not mine.
00:30:00Now that she's home, no one's going to love me anymore.
00:30:03Don't say that, Leah.
00:30:04You'll always be our precious little princess.
00:30:06As far as I'm concerned, you're the only sister I have.
00:30:13Look, Mira.
00:30:14Father brought this doll back from the market for me yesterday.
00:30:16He said it was the prettiest one there.
00:30:21Mira, if you really like it, I can give it to you.
00:30:23It was a gift from Father, so please, don't snatch it from me and break it.
00:30:27Mira, what do you think you're doing?
00:30:29Leah, don't cry.
00:30:30I'm here.
00:30:31No one will take your doll away.
00:30:33So they loved her harder.
00:30:35The bigger room went to her.
00:30:37The nicer dresses.
00:30:38First pick of every new toy.
00:30:40And every time they turned away, Leah made sure I knew she'd won.
00:30:44And I let her have it all.
00:30:46Now she wants Dragoth.
00:30:50Dragoth is all I have left of my mother.
00:30:53The last hatchling of her bonded dragon.
00:30:55The one they buried with her.
00:30:57My mother was the only one in that house who ever truly loved me.
00:31:00On her deathbed, she held my hand and apologized for every unfairness.
00:31:04Then she made me swear to live only for myself.
00:31:07I didn't understand her then.
00:31:09I understand her now.
00:31:11Everyone was watching me.
00:31:13They waited for me to get angry.
00:31:14To throw a tantrum or cry.
00:31:16Because that's what always happens.
00:31:18I'd lose to Leah and I'd cry.
00:31:21But this time, I didn't want to do any of that.
00:31:24I raised my hand and held the whip out to Leah with a smile.
00:31:27You clearly didn't expect me to do that.
00:31:29Sure thing.
00:31:30A good dragon deserves a good whip.
00:31:33Garrick gave him to you, so keep him.
00:31:35Leah's smile froze on her face.
00:31:37Her hand stopped mid-air, unsure whether to take it or not.
00:31:40Kale shot a nervous glance at Garrick.
00:31:43Seeing my reaction, Garrick's face turned cold with anger.
00:31:46Finally, Leah took the whip from me.
00:31:49Thank you, Mira.
00:31:50My lack of temper must have surprised Leah.
00:31:52She probably expected me to make a scene.
00:31:54Then she can pretend to be hurt and win the sympathy of everyone.
00:31:57Wait.
00:31:58But isn't that dragon supposed to be Mira's wedding gift from Garret?
00:32:01Yeah.
00:32:02Why is Leah asking for it?
00:32:04This is not our tradition.
00:32:05Mira is so generous.
00:32:06She just gave it to her sister too.
00:32:08Leah's being selfish if you ask me.
00:32:11The gossip made Leah feel uneasy.
00:32:13She looked at me with anger in her eyes.
00:32:21Garrick's jaw tightened.
00:32:23He whispered to me.
00:32:24That's enough for today.
00:32:25I'll make a nice mid-stew for us tonight.
00:32:28Don't embarrass Leah in front of everyone.
00:32:32I'm going to take her for a ride on her new dragon.
00:32:35I'll be back later tonight.
00:32:38Come on, Mira.
00:32:39I'll take you home.
00:32:41You're still hurt.
00:32:42Don't stand here too long.
00:32:48Come on, Mira.
00:32:50My brother just wanted me to leave quickly so people can stop watching.
00:32:53My brother and my so-called fiancé, they both know they are wrong for doing this.
00:32:57But they chose to do this to me anyway.
00:33:00I spun around and walked back home.
00:33:02When I looked up, Leah and Garrett were already in the air.
00:33:05Seeing them together like real husband and wife, I got the closure I needed.
00:33:09Whatever feelings I had left, they were dead, gone, and buried.
00:33:12It was already midnight when the door finally opened.
00:33:15Cold air swept in, along with the smell of stew.
00:33:18Garrett came in and set a pot on the table.
00:33:20I could smell the faint scent of a woman's perfume as he walked in.
00:33:24Lie is no doubt.
00:33:25I know because she bought it from silk merchants.
00:33:27You can't get it here in the North.
00:33:28I lifted the lid.
00:33:29The stew was already mostly eaten.
00:33:31The pot only had a bit of potatoes and carrots left on the bottom.
00:33:34Garrett had taken off his coat and turned his back to me.
00:33:37Leah said the stew came out perfect.
00:33:38She did a taste test for you.
00:33:40Go ahead and have some.
00:33:41I wanted to laugh.
00:33:42He brought me Leah's leftovers and told me she did a taste test.
00:33:45The pot was already cold.
00:33:46He must have been there for a while.
00:33:48For eight years I waited.
00:33:49I waited for him to tame the dragon and marry me.
00:33:51He always sweared to me the North's tradition could not be broken.
00:33:54His dragon would be loyal to me and no one else.
00:33:56I believed him for eight years.
00:33:58Instead, his dragon answered only to Leah.
00:34:00He thought one pot of stew would make me smile again.
00:34:02And I did smile.
00:34:04I smiled at how foolish I had been.
00:34:07I lifted the pot and tossed it onto the ground.
00:34:09The contents splatter everywhere.
00:34:12I don't want Leah's sloppy seconds.
00:34:14Garrick looked at me shocked.
00:34:16He's never seen me like this before.
00:34:17What the hell are you talking about, Mira?
00:34:19You're going to make a scene just because your sister had some of the stew first?
00:34:23I'm talking about us, Garrett.
00:34:25I'm ending our engagement.
00:34:30Finally, seeing that I was not kidding, Garrett's face twisted with anger.
00:34:34What did you just say?
00:34:36Is this fun for you?
00:34:37Are you done putting on an act?
00:34:39You know what?
00:34:40I'm going to leave so you can think about what you did wrong.
00:34:43Once you know why you're wrong, come apologize to me.
00:34:46He turned to go, then stopped at the door.
00:34:49Tomorrow is Leah's birthday feast.
00:34:51You better not come salking.
00:34:52Just let her be happy for one day.
00:34:54Can you do that?
00:34:55If this is about the dragon, I'll just get you another one.
00:34:58Without another word, Garrick stormed out of the house.
00:35:01I looked at the door Garrett left open.
00:35:04Suddenly, a messenger pigeon flew inside and landed next to me.
00:35:08A note was attached to its legs.
00:35:10From the royal seal, I could already tell who it's from.
00:35:13The dragons are ready.
00:35:15I'll be there tomorrow.
00:35:22The next day was Leah's birthday feast.
00:35:24The tables were full of roast meat and sweet cakes.
00:35:27Many people had turned out for it.
00:35:29When I arrived, Leah stood in the middle of the crowd.
00:35:31She lifted one foot to show off a new pair of boots.
00:35:34The boots were dark brown leather stitched with fine silver thread.
00:35:37Garrett made these for me by hand.
00:35:39Three whole months.
00:35:40He pricked his fingers raw.
00:35:42The crowd laughed and teased her.
00:35:43Garrett stood beside her, smiling.
00:35:46Then how about you marry him instead?
00:35:53The crowd erupted, loud with disbelief.
00:35:56Oh shit, Mira sounds jealous.
00:35:59Jealousy is never a good look on anyone.
00:36:01Mira, stop with your theatrics.
00:36:02It's not a big deal.
00:36:04I made a pair of boots for Leah, so what?
00:36:06It's her birthday and she's your sister.
00:36:08Garrick's right, Mira.
00:36:09Stop fussing over nothing.
00:36:11Fussing over nothing?
00:36:12My fiance tames a dragon for my sister.
00:36:15Makes shoes for my sister.
00:36:16Makes me eat the leftover soup of my sister.
00:36:19Why would I want to marry a man who's clearly in love with my sister?
00:36:23I told you last night, Garrick, it's over between us.
00:36:26From the corner of my eye, I could see the smile Leah was trying to contain.
00:36:29This is exactly what she wanted, and I'm giving it to her.
00:36:32End our engagement?
00:36:33We've been together for eight years.
00:36:35Who's going to want to marry you if not me?
00:36:36Who I marry is none of your business.
00:36:38He glanced toward the crowd.
00:36:40Two men stepped out.
00:36:41They walked to the fire pit at the center.
00:36:43They scattered the burning coals across the ground.
00:36:47Fine, then.
00:36:48You want to break the engagement?
00:36:50It is the most sacred promise there is.
00:36:52You know our rules.
00:36:53To break it, you cross the coals barefoot.
00:36:58The room suddenly went so silent you could hear a pin drop.
00:37:01Everyone looked at me, watching for my next move.
00:37:04Even I didn't think Garrett would invoke the old way.
00:37:06I said nothing.
00:37:07Then, without another beat of hesitation, I took off my shoes.
00:37:09I walked to the edge of the coals.
00:37:11I could hear a few people suck in their breaths.
00:37:13The path was narrow, and the heat baked my skin.
00:37:18I lifted my right foot and held it over the fire.
00:37:21The pain nearly made me give up.
00:37:23But then I thought of all the lies he'd fed me over the past eight years.
00:37:26My resolve only grew stronger.
00:37:28Mira, stop!
00:37:29Just apologize to Garrick, and we can pretend none of this ever happened.
00:37:33Searing pain shot up from the sole of my foot.
00:37:35My body swayed, and I almost fell.
00:37:36But I clenched my teeth.
00:37:37I forced out a second step, then a third.
00:37:39Each step drove the pain deeper.
00:37:41Still, I bit down and made no sound.
00:37:43Garrick's gaze grew colder with every step I took.
00:37:46Garrick, stop this.
00:37:47Her feet are burned through the flesh.
00:37:49It has gone too far.
00:37:50Too far?
00:37:51She's the one who wants to break off our engagement.
00:37:53This is the consequence.
00:37:54On the last step, I pitched forward and nearly fainted.
00:37:58But I had crossed it.
00:38:00The vow was broken.
00:38:01Whispers spread through the people.
00:38:03Mira really walked across burning coal?
00:38:06How could she endure something like this?
00:38:07She made no sound.
00:38:09She truly does not want him.
00:38:11Everyone looked at Garrett in disbelief.
00:38:13What is he going to say now?
00:38:14He rushed towards me, face twisted in anger.
00:38:17What tricks are you playing now, huh?
00:38:19I'll give you one last chance, Mira.
00:38:21Apologize to me in front of everyone, and I'll take you back.
00:38:23Everyone in the North knows you've been with me for eight years.
00:38:25No man is going to want you now.
00:38:27Says who?
00:38:37I, Theron Dragomu, Prince of the North, come to ask Mira for her hand in marriage.
00:38:49Not far from my cabin, I saw Leah with Draegol, the dragon that was supposed to be mine.
00:38:55Dragoth stood calm beneath her, like he's done this a thousand times.
00:38:58No one would guess he was a wild beast.
00:39:01Leah yanked the reins, and Dragoth reared with a roar.
00:39:09Sorry, Mira.
00:39:10This dragon seems to like me more, so Gareth gave him to me instead.
00:39:16If you mind, I can give it back to you.
00:39:19But her hands never loosened on the reins.
00:39:21Dragdoth lowered his head and pressed his snout to her hand.
00:39:24He had never bound his head for anyone before.
00:39:27Garak trained him well for my sister.
00:39:29Mira, just let Leah have Dragdoth.
00:39:31It's not a big deal.
00:39:32I can just tame another dragon for you.
00:39:33I remained silent, trying to suppress the anger that rose inside me.
00:39:37My brother quickly took their side, like he always does.
00:39:40Come on, Mira.
00:39:41We're all family.
00:39:42There's no reason why you can't let Leah have Dragdoth.
00:39:45Leah is your sister.
00:39:46Be kind to her.
00:39:47Be kind to Leah?
00:39:49Those were the words I heard over and over again growing up.
00:39:52But this time, I'm done playing nice.
00:39:55They have no idea what Dragdoth means to me.
00:39:58In the Northern Highlands, we have a tradition.
00:40:00The groom must tame a wild dragon for his bride as a wedding gift.
00:40:04Three days before our wedding, Garak tamed a dragon and held a feast.
00:40:07Look, that's the wild dragon Garak tamed for Mira.
00:40:10It's so big.
00:40:11Lucky Mira.
00:40:11She'll be the happiest bride in the North.
00:40:16Then suddenly, the dragon's tail snapped up and slammed against my back.
00:40:20I fell off the dragon and nearly passed out from the pain.
00:40:26Even though my eyes were closed, I could hear my brother Kale and Garrett talk in low voices.
00:40:31You tamed this dragon for Leah.
00:40:33Of course, Mira won't be able to mount it.
00:40:35You know she'll be heartbroken if she finds out.
00:40:38In the North, who hasn't fallen off a dragon before?
00:40:40Mira will be fine.
00:40:42What if she asks you about it?
00:40:44I'll cook her a nice meal and say some sweet words.
00:40:46You know she can't stay mad at me.
00:40:47I'm already marrying Mira.
00:40:49My dragon can only belong to Leah.
00:40:51It's only fair.
00:40:54Those were the last heart-sheddering words I heard before I fully passed out.
00:40:57When I awoke again, I sent a letter to the man who's been waiting for me for eight years.
00:41:01The man who ruled the North and had an entire fleet of dragons.
00:41:06Can you tame a dragon for me?
00:41:08I'll marry you.
00:41:30I'll marry you.
00:41:41I'll marry you.
00:41:41Leah yanked the reins, and Dragoth reared with a roar.
00:41:48Sorry, Mira.
00:41:50This dragon seems to like me more.
00:41:52So Gareth gave him to me instead.
00:41:56If you mind, I can give it back to you.
00:41:58But her hands never loosened on the reins.
00:42:01Dragdoth lowered his head and pressed his snout to her hand.
00:42:04He had never bound his head for anyone before.
00:42:06Garak trained him well for my sister.
00:42:08Mira, just let Leah have Dragdoth.
00:42:10It's not a big deal.
00:42:11I can just tame another dragon for you.
00:42:13I remained silent, trying to suppress the anger that rose inside me.
00:42:16My brother quickly took their side, like he always does.
00:42:20Come on, Mira.
00:42:21We're all family.
00:42:22There's no reason why you can't let Leah have Dragdoth.
00:42:25Leah is your sister.
00:42:26Be kind to her.
00:42:26Be kind to Leah.
00:42:29Those were the words I heard over and over again growing up.
00:42:32But this time, I'm done playing nice.
00:42:35They have no idea what Dragdoth means to me.
00:42:38When I was a toddler, I wandered off and got separated from my family.
00:42:41They didn't find me again until I was ten.
00:42:46Daddy, I'm home.
00:42:49Daddy, Mira's back.
00:42:52She's your real daughter.
00:42:53This is her home, not mine.
00:42:55Now that she's home, no one's going to love me anymore.
00:42:58Don't say that, Leah.
00:42:59You'll always be our precious little princess.
00:43:01As far as I'm concerned, you're the only sister I have.
00:43:08Look, Mira.
00:43:09Father brought this doll back from the market for me yesterday.
00:43:11He said it was the prettiest one there.
00:43:15Mira, if you really like it, I can give it to you.
00:43:18It was a gift from Father, so please, don't snatch it from me and break it.
00:43:22Mira, what do you think you're doing?
00:43:24Leah, don't cry.
00:43:25I'm here.
00:43:26No one will take your doll away.
00:43:28So they loved her harder.
00:43:30The bigger room went to her.
00:43:31The nicer dresses.
00:43:33First pick of every new toy.
00:43:35And every time they turned away,
00:43:37Leah made sure I knew she'd won.
00:43:39And I let her have it all.
00:43:41Now she wants Dragoth.
00:43:45Dragoth is all I have left of my mother.
00:43:47The last hatchling of her bonded dragon.
00:43:49The one they buried with her.
00:43:52My mother was the only one in that house who ever truly loved me.
00:43:55On her deathbed, she held my hand and apologized for every unfairness.
00:43:59Then she made me swear to live only for myself.
00:44:02I didn't understand her then.
00:44:04I understand her now.
00:44:06Everyone was watching me.
00:44:08They waited for me to get angry, to throw a tantrum or cry.
00:44:11Because that's what always happens.
00:44:13I'd lose to Leah and I'd cry.
00:44:16But this time, I didn't want to do any of that.
00:44:19I raised my hand and held the whip out to Leah with a smile.
00:44:21They clearly didn't expect me to do that.
00:44:24Sure thing.
00:44:25A good dragon deserves a good whip.
00:44:28Garak gave him to you, so keep him.
00:44:30Leah's smile froze on her face.
00:44:32Her hand stopped mid-air, unsure whether to take it or not.
00:44:35Kale shot a nervous glance at Garak.
00:44:37Seeing my reaction, Garak's face turned cold with anger.
00:44:41Finally, Leah took the whip from me.
00:44:44Thank you, Mira.
00:44:45My lack of temper must have surprised Leah.
00:44:47She probably expected me to make a scene.
00:44:49Then she can pretend to be hurt and win the sympathy of everyone.
00:44:52Wait, but isn't that dragon supposed to be Mira's wedding gift from Garak?
00:44:56Yeah.
00:44:57Why is Leah asking for it?
00:44:58This is not our tradition.
00:45:00Mira is so generous.
00:45:01She just gave it to her sister too.
00:45:03Leah's being selfish if you ask me.
00:45:05The gossip made Leah feel uneasy.
00:45:07She looked at me with anger in her eyes.
00:45:16Garak's jaw tightened.
00:45:18He whispered to me.
00:45:19That's enough for today.
00:45:20I'll make a nice meat stew for us tonight.
00:45:23Don't embarrass Leah in front of everyone.
00:45:27I'm going to take her for a ride on her new dragon.
00:45:29I'll be back later tonight.
00:45:33Come on, Mira.
00:45:34I'll take you home.
00:45:36You're still hurt.
00:45:37Don't stand here too long.
00:45:43Come on, Mira.
00:45:45My brother just wanted me to leave quickly so people can stop watching.
00:45:48My brother and my so-called fiancé, they both know they are wrong for doing this.
00:45:52But they chose to do this to me anyway.
00:45:55I spun around and walked back home.
00:45:57When I looked up, Leah and Garrett were already in the air.
00:46:00Seeing them together like real husband and wife, I got the closure I needed.

00:46:07It was already midnight when the door finally opened.
00:46:09Cold air swept in, along with the smell of stew.
00:46:12Garrett came in and set a pot on the table.
00:46:15I could smell the faint scent of a woman's perfume as he walked in.
00:46:18Lie is no doubt.
00:46:20I know because she bought it from silk merchants.
00:46:22You can't get it here in the north.
00:46:23I lifted the lid.
00:46:24The stew was already mostly eaten.
00:46:26The pot only had a bit of potatoes and carrots left on the bottom.
00:46:29Garrett had taken off his coat and turned his back to me.

00:46:44I waited for him to tame the dragon and marry me.
00:46:46He always sweared to me the north's tradition could not be broken.

00:46:55He thought one pot of stew would make me smile again.

00:47:12What the hell are you talking about, Mira?
00:47:14You're going to make a scene just because your sister had some of the stew first?
00:47:17I'm talking about us, Garrett.
00:47:20I'm ending our engagement.
00:47:25Finally, seeing that I was not kidding, Garrett's face twisted with anger.
00:47:29What did you just say?
00:47:31Is this fun for you?
00:47:32Are you done putting on an act?
00:47:34You know what?
00:47:35I'm going to leave so you can think about what you did wrong.
00:47:38Once you know why you're wrong, come apologize to me.
00:47:41He turned to go, then stopped at the door.
00:47:44Tomorrow is Leah's birthday feast.
00:47:46You better not come sacking.
00:47:47Just let her be happy for one day.
00:47:48Can you do that?
00:47:50If this is about the dragon, I'll just get you another one.
00:47:52Without another word, Garak stormed out of the house.
00:47:56I looked at the door Garrett left open.
00:47:58Suddenly, a messenger pigeon flew inside and landed next to me.
00:48:02A note was attached to its legs.
00:48:04From the royal seal, I could already tell who it's from.
00:48:08The dragons are ready.
00:48:10I'll be there tomorrow.
00:48:16The next day was Leah's birthday feast.
00:48:19The tables were full of roast meat and sweet cakes.
00:48:22Many people had turned out for it.
00:48:24When I arrived, Leah stood in the middle of the crowd.
00:48:26She lifted one foot to show off a new pair of boots.
00:48:29The boots were dark brown leather, stitched with fine silver thread.
00:48:32Garrett made these for me by hand.
00:48:34Three whole months.
00:48:35He pricked his fingers raw.
00:48:37The crowd laughed and teased her.
00:48:39Garrett stood beside her, smiling.
00:48:40Then how about you marry him instead?
00:48:48The crowd erupted, loud with disbelief.
00:48:51Oh shit, Mira sounds jealous.
00:48:54Jealousy is never a good look on anyone.
00:48:56Mira, stop with your theatrics.
00:48:57It's not a big deal.
00:48:59I made a pair of boots for Leah, so what?
00:49:01It's her birthday and she's your sister!
00:49:03Garak's right, Mira.
00:49:04Stop fussing over nothing.
00:49:06Fussing over nothing?
00:49:07My fiancé tames a dragon for my sister.
00:49:10Makes shoes for my sister.
00:49:11Makes me eat the leftover soup of my sister.
00:49:14Why would I want to marry a man who's clearly in love with my sister?
00:49:17I told you last night, Garak, it's over between us.
00:49:20From the corner of my eye, I could see the smile Leah was trying to contain.
00:49:24This is exactly what she wanted, and I'm giving it to her.
00:49:27And our engagement?
00:49:28We've been together for eight years.
00:49:30Who's going to want to marry you if not me?
00:49:31Who I marry is none of your business.
00:49:33He glanced toward the crowd.
00:49:35Two men stepped out.
00:49:36They walked to the fire pit at the center.
00:49:38They scattered the burning coals across the ground.
00:49:42Fine then.
00:49:43You want to break the engagement?
00:49:45It is the most sacred promise there is.
00:49:47You know our rules.
00:49:48To break it, you cross the coals barefoot.
00:49:53The room suddenly went so silent you could hear a pin drop.
00:49:56Everyone looked at me, watching for my next move.
00:49:59Even I didn't think Garak would invoke the old way.
00:50:01I said nothing.
00:50:02Then without another beat of hesitation, I took off my shoes.
00:50:04I walked to the edge of the coals.
00:50:06I could hear a few people suck in their breaths.
00:50:09The path was narrow, and the heat baked my skin.
00:50:13I lifted my right foot and held it over the fire.
00:50:16The pain nearly made me give up.
00:50:17But then I thought of all the lies he'd fed me over the past eight years.
00:50:21My resolve only grew stronger.
00:50:23Mira, stop.
00:50:24Just apologize to Garak, and we can pretend none of this ever happened.
00:50:27Searing pain shot up from the sole of my foot.
00:50:30My body swayed, and I almost fell.
00:50:31But I clenched my teeth.
00:50:32I forced out a second step, then a third.
00:50:34Each step drove the pain deeper.
00:50:36Still, I bit down and made no sound.
00:50:38Garak's gaze grew colder with every step I took.
00:50:41Garak, stop this.
00:50:42Her feet are burned through the flesh.
00:50:44It has gone too far.
00:50:45Too far?
00:50:46She's the one who wants to break off our engagement.
00:50:48This is the consequence.
00:50:49On the last step, I pitched forward and nearly fainted.
00:50:53But I had crossed it.
00:50:54The vow was broken.
00:50:56Whispers spread through the people.
00:50:58Mira really walked across burning coal?
00:51:00How could she endure something like this?
00:51:03She made no sound.
00:51:04She truly does not want him.
00:51:06Everyone looked at Garak in disbelief.
00:51:08What is he going to say now?
00:51:09He rushed towards me, face twisted in anger.
00:51:12What tricks are you playing now, huh?
00:51:14I'll give you one last chance, Mira.
00:51:16Apologize to me in front of everyone, and I'll take you back.
00:51:18Everyone in the North knows you've been with me for eight years.
00:51:20No man is going to want you now.
00:51:22Says who?
00:51:32I, Theron Dragomu, Prince of the North, come to ask Mira for her hand in marriage.
00:51:44Not far from my cabin, I saw Leah with Dra'gol, the dragon that was supposed to be mine.
00:51:49Dragoth stood calm beneath her, like he's done this a thousand times.
00:51:53No one would guess he was a wild beast.
00:51:56Leah yanked the reins, and Dragoth reared with a roar.
00:52:04Sorry, Mira.
00:52:05This dragon seems to like me more.
00:52:07So Gareth gave him to me instead.
00:52:11If you mind, I can give it back to you.
00:52:14But her hands never loosened on the reins.
00:52:16Dragdoth lowered his head and pressed his snout to her hand.
00:52:19He had never bound his head for anyone before.
00:52:21Garak trained him well for my sister.
00:52:24Mira, just let Leah have Dragdoth.
00:52:26It's not a big deal.
00:52:27I can just tame another dragon for you.
00:52:28I remained silent, trying to suppress the anger that rose inside me.
00:52:32My brother quickly took their side, like he always does.
00:52:35Come on, Mira.
00:52:36We're all family.
00:52:37There's no reason why you can't let Leah have Dragdoth.
00:52:40Leah is your sister.
00:52:41Be kind to her.
00:52:42Be kind to Leah?
00:52:44Those were the words I heard over and over again growing up.
00:52:47But this time, I'm done playing nice.
00:52:50They have no idea what Dragdoth means to me.
00:52:53In the Northern Highlands, we have a tradition.
00:52:55The groom must tame a wild dragon for his bride as a wedding gift.
00:52:59Three days before our wedding, Garak tamed a dragon and held a feast.
00:53:02Look!
00:53:03That's the wild dragon Garak tamed for Mira.
00:53:05It's so big!
00:53:05Lucky Mira.
00:53:06She'll be the happiest bride in the North.
00:53:10Then suddenly, the dragon's tail snapped up and slammed against my back.
00:53:15I fell off the dragon and nearly passed out from the pain.
00:53:20Even though my eyes were closed, I could hear my brother Kale and Garrett talk in low voices.
00:53:26You tamed this dragon for Leah.
00:53:28Of course, Mira won't be able to mount it.
00:53:30You know she'll be heartbroken if she finds out.
00:53:33In the North, who hasn't fallen off a dragon before?
00:53:35Mira will be fine.
00:53:37What if she asks you about it?
00:53:39I'll cook her a nice meal and say some sweet words.
00:53:41You know she can't stay mad at me.
00:53:42I'm already marrying Mira.
00:53:44My dragon can only belong to Leah.
00:53:46It's only fair.
00:53:48Those were the last heart-sheddering words I heard before I fully passed out.
00:53:52When I awoke again, I sent a letter to the man who's been waiting for me for eight years.
00:53:56The man who ruled the North and had an entire fleet of dragons.
00:54:01Can you tame a dragon for me?
00:54:03I'll marry you.
00:54:25I'll marry you.
00:54:36I'll marry you.
00:54:36Leah yanked the reins, and Dragoth reared with a roar.
00:54:43Sorry, Mira.
00:54:44This dragon seems to like me more.
00:54:47So Gareth gave him to me instead.
00:54:51If you mind, I can give it back to you.
00:54:53But her hands never loosened on the reins.
00:54:56Dragdoth lowered his head and pressed his snout to her hand.
00:54:59He had never bound his head for anyone before.
00:55:01Garak trained him well for my sister.
00:55:03Mira, just let Leah have Dragdoth.
00:55:05It's not a big deal.
00:55:06I can just tame another dragon for you.
00:55:08I remained silent, trying to suppress the anger that rose inside me.
00:55:11My brother quickly took their side, like he always does.
00:55:15Come on, Mira.
00:55:16We're all family.
00:55:17There's no reason why you can't let Leah have Dragdoth.
00:55:20Leah is your sister.
00:55:21Be kind to her.
00:55:21Be kind to Leah.
00:55:23Those were the words I heard over and over again growing up.
00:55:27But this time, I'm done playing nice.
00:55:29They have no idea what Dragdoth means to me.
00:55:33When I was a toddler, I wandered off and got separated from my family.
00:55:36They didn't find me again until I was ten.
00:55:41Daddy, I'm home.
00:55:44Daddy, Mira's back.
00:55:46She's your real daughter.
00:55:48This is her home, not mine.
00:55:50Now that she's home, no one's going to love me anymore.
00:55:53Don't say that, Leah.
00:55:54You'll always be our precious little princess.
00:55:56As far as I'm concerned, you're the only sister I have.
00:56:03Look, Mira.
00:56:04Father brought this doll back from the market for me yesterday.
00:56:06He said it was the prettiest one there.
00:56:10Mira, if you really like it, I can give it to you.
00:56:13It was a gift from Father, so please, don't snatch it from me and break it.
00:56:17Mira, what do you think you're doing?
00:56:19Leah, don't cry.
00:56:20I'm here.
00:56:21No one will take your doll away.
00:56:23So they loved her harder.
00:56:25The bigger room went to her.
00:56:26The nicer dresses.
00:56:28First pick of every new toy.
00:56:30And every time they turned away,
00:56:32Leah made sure I knew she'd won.
00:56:34And I let her have it all.
00:56:36Now she wants Dragoth.
00:56:40Dragoth is all I have left of my mother.
00:56:42The last hatchling of her bonded dragon.
00:56:44The one they buried with her.
00:56:46My mother was the only one in that house who ever truly loved me.
00:56:50On her deathbed, she held my hand and apologized for every unfairness.
00:56:54Then she made me swear to live only for myself.
00:56:57I didn't understand her then.
00:56:58I understand her now.
00:57:01Everyone was watching me.
00:57:03They waited for me to get angry, to throw a tantrum or cry.
00:57:06Because that's what always happens.
00:57:08I'd lose to Leah and I'd cry.
00:57:11But this time, I didn't want to do any of that.
00:57:13I raised my hand and held the whip out to Leah with a smile.
00:57:16You clearly didn't expect me to do that.
00:57:19Sure thing.
00:57:20A good dragon deserves a good whip.
00:57:22Garrick gave him to you, so keep him.
00:57:25Leah's smile froze on her face.
00:57:27Her hand stopped mid-air, unsure whether to take it or not.
00:57:30Kale shot a nervous glance at Garrick.
00:57:32Seeing my reaction, Garrick's face turned cold with anger.
00:57:36Finally, Leah took the whip from me.
00:57:39Thank you, Mira.
00:57:40My lack of temper must have surprised Leah.
00:57:42She probably expected me to make a scene.
00:57:44Then she can pretend to be hurt and win the sympathy of everyone.
00:57:47Wait, but isn't that dragon supposed to be Mira's wedding gift from Garrick?
00:57:51Yeah.
00:57:51Why is Leah asking for it?
00:57:53This is not our tradition.
00:57:55Mira is so generous.
00:57:56She just gave it to her sister too.
00:57:58Leah's being selfish if you ask me.
00:58:00The gossip made Leah feel uneasy.
00:58:02She looked at me with anger in her eyes.
00:58:11Garrick's jaw tightened.
00:58:12He whispered to me.
00:58:14That's enough for today.
00:58:15I'll make a nice meat stew for us tonight.
00:58:18Don't embarrass Leah in front of everyone.
00:58:22I'm going to take her for a ride on her new dragon.
00:58:24I'll be back later tonight.
00:58:28Come on, Mira.
00:58:29I'll take you home.
00:58:31You're still hurt.
00:58:32Don't stand here too long.
00:58:38Come on, Mira.
00:58:40My brother just wanted me to leave quickly so people can stop watching.
00:58:43My brother and my so-called fiancé, they both know they are wrong for doing this.
00:58:47But they chose to do this to me anyway.
00:58:50I spun around and walked back home.
00:58:52When I looked up, Leah and Garrett were already in the air.
00:58:55Seeing them together like real husband and wife, I got the closure I needed.
00:58:58Whatever feelings I had left, they were dead, gone, and buried.
00:59:02It was already midnight when the door finally opened.
00:59:04Cold air swept in, along with the smell of stew.
00:59:07Garrett came in and set a pot on the table.
00:59:10I could smell the faint scent of a woman's perfume as he walked in.
00:59:13Lie is no doubt.
00:59:14I know because she bought it from silk merchants.
00:59:17You can't get it here in the north.
00:59:18I lifted the lid.
00:59:19The stew was already mostly eaten.
00:59:21The pot only had a bit of potatoes and carrots left on the bottom.
00:59:24Garrett had taken off his coat and turned his back to me.
00:59:26Leah said the stew came out perfect.
00:59:28She did a taste test for you.
00:59:29Go ahead and have some.
00:59:30I wanted to laugh.
00:59:32He brought me Leah's leftovers and told me she did a taste test.
00:59:34The pot was already cold.
00:59:36He must have been there for a while.
00:59:37For eight years I waited.
00:59:39I waited for him to tame the dragon and marry me.
00:59:41He always sweared to me the north's tradition could not be broken.
00:59:43His dragon would be loyal to me and no one else.
00:59:46I believed him for eight years.
00:59:47Instead, his dragon answered only to Leah.
00:59:50He thought one pot of stew would make me smile again.
00:59:52And I did smile.
00:59:54I smiled at how foolish I had been.
00:59:56I lifted the pot and tossed it onto the ground.
00:59:59The contents splatter everywhere.
01:00:02I don't want Leah's sloppy seconds.
01:00:04Garrett looked at me shocked.
01:00:05He's never seen me like this before.
01:00:07What the hell are you talking about, Mira?
01:00:09You're going to make a scene just because your sister had some of the stew first?
01:00:12I'm talking about us, Garrett.
01:00:15I'm ending our engagement.
01:00:20Finally, seeing that I was not kidding, Garrett's face twisted with anger.
01:00:24What did you just say?
01:00:26Is this fun for you?
01:00:27Are you done putting on an act?
01:00:29You know what?
01:00:30I'm going to leave so you can think about what you did wrong.
01:00:32Once you know why you're wrong, come apologize to me.
01:00:36He turned to go, then stopped at the door.
01:00:39Tomorrow is Leah's birthday feast.
01:00:40You better not come sacking.
01:00:42Just let her be happy for one day.
01:00:43Can you do that?
01:00:45If this is about the dragon, I'll just get you another one.
01:00:47Without another word, Garrett stormed out of the house.
01:00:51I looked at the door Garrett left open.
01:00:53Suddenly, a messenger pigeon flew inside and landed next to me.
01:00:57A note was attached to its legs.
01:00:59From the royal seal, I could already tell who it's from.
01:01:03The dragons are ready.
01:01:05I'll be there tomorrow.
01:01:11The next day was Leah's birthday feast.
01:01:14The tables were full of roast meat and sweet cakes.
01:01:17Many people had turned out for it.
01:01:19When I arrived, Leah stood in the middle of the crowd.
01:01:21She lifted one foot to show off a new pair of boots.
01:01:24The boots were dark brown leather, stitched with fine silver thread.
01:01:27Garrett made these for me by hand.
01:01:29Three whole months.
01:01:30He pricked his fingers raw.
01:01:32The crowd laughed and teased her.
01:01:33Garrett stood beside her, smiling.
01:01:35Then how about you marry him instead?
01:01:43The crowd erupted, loud with disbelief.
01:01:46Oh shit, Mira sounds jealous.
01:01:48Jealousy is never a good look on anyone.
01:01:50Mira, stop with your theatrics.
01:01:52It's not a big deal.
01:01:54I made a pair of boots for Leah, so what?
01:01:56It's her birthday and she's your sister.
01:01:58Garrick's right, Mira.
01:01:59Stop fussing over nothing.
01:02:00Fussing over nothing?
01:02:02My fiancé tames a dragon for my sister.
01:02:05Makes shoes for my sister.
01:02:06Makes me eat the leftover soup of my sister.
01:02:09Why would I want to marry a man who's clearly in love with my sister?
01:02:12I told you last night, Garrick.
01:02:14It's over between us.
01:02:15From the corner of my eye,
01:02:17I could see the smile Leah was trying to contain.
01:02:19This is exactly what she wanted.
01:02:21And I'm giving it to her.
01:02:22End our engagement?
01:02:23We've been together for eight years.
01:02:24Who's going to want to marry you if not me?
01:02:26Who I marry is none of your business.
01:02:28He glanced toward the crowd.
01:02:30Two men stepped out.
01:02:31They walked to the fire pit at the center.
01:02:33They scattered the burning coals across the ground.
01:02:37Fine then.
01:02:38You want to break the engagement?
01:02:39It is the most sacred promise there is.
01:02:41You know our rules.
01:02:43To break it, you cross the coals barefoot.
01:02:48The room suddenly went so silent you could hear a pin drop.
01:02:51Everyone looked at me, watching for my next move.
01:02:53Even I didn't think Garrett would invoke the old way.
01:02:56I said nothing.
01:02:57Then without another beat of hesitation, I took off my shoes.
01:02:59I walked to the edge of the coals.
01:03:01I could hear a few people suck in their breaths.
01:03:04The path was narrow, and the heat baked my skin.
01:03:07I lifted my right foot and held it over the fire.
01:03:10The pain nearly made me give up.
01:03:12But then I thought of all the lies he'd fed me over the past eight years.
01:03:16My resolve only grew stronger.
01:03:18Mira, stop!
01:03:19Just apologize to Garrick, and we can pretend none of this ever happened.
01:03:22Searing pain shot up from the sole of my foot.
01:03:24My body swayed, and I almost fell.
01:03:26But I clenched my teeth.
01:03:27I forced out a second step, then a third.
01:03:29Each step drove the pain deeper.
01:03:31Still, I bit down and made no sound.
01:03:33Garrick's gaze grew colder with every step I took.
01:03:35Garrick, stop this.
01:03:37Her feet are burned through the flesh.
01:03:39It has gone too far.
01:03:40Too far?
01:03:41She's the one who wants to break off our engagement.
01:03:43This is the consequence.
01:03:44On the last step, I pitched forward and nearly fainted.
01:03:48But I had crossed it.
01:03:49The vow was broken.
01:03:51Whispers spread through the people.
01:03:53Mira really walked across burning coal?
01:03:55How could she endure something like this?
01:03:57She made no sound.
01:03:59She truly does not want him.
01:04:00Everyone looked at Garrick in disbelief.
01:04:02What is he going to say now?
01:04:04He rushed towards me, face twisted in anger.
01:04:07What tricks are you playing now, huh?
01:04:09I'll give you one last chance, Mira.
01:04:11Apologize to me in front of everyone, and I'll take you back.
01:04:13Everyone in the North knows you've been with me for eight years.
01:04:15No man is going to want you now.
01:04:16Says who?
01:04:27I, Theron Dragomu, Prince of the North, come to ask Mira for her hand in marriage.
01:04:33I'll give you two.
01:04:38Thanks to everyone.
01:04:39Hey everyone.
