00:01By blood covenant, I surrender my second ball!
00:04North East Wind, he'll come from the ridge.
00:08She volunteered, saved us the trouble.
00:13Don't pretend this hurts you, father.
00:23Dragon scales aren't the temperature you think!
00:26Remember, promise me, Sarah!
00:30I promise, mother. Every word.
00:37Three days to Piritovian. Don't cause trouble.
00:44Resonance frequency. Mother, what did you find?
00:53Dragon, get down, get down!
00:58It's warm. Why is it warm?
01:01What did you find?
01:12Forty seconds to notice me. Disappointing.
01:16Most predators don't announce themselves from windowsills.
01:21Here to inspect the tribute? Or just sniffing?
01:25800 years. First human not to scream.
01:30Screaming wastes time I don't have.
01:38Every tribute before you wept and begged. Why not you?
01:43Because I brought something none of them had.
01:45A useful brain.
01:47You smell wrong. Not like tribute.
01:51I'll take wrong over dead.
01:55Not tribute. Not prey. Something else entirely.
02:06It's pulsing now like a heartbeat.
02:12I have a proposal for the Dragon King.
02:14Kneel, human! You don't walk in here!
02:16Your scholars failed Nathara for 200 years.
02:19I won't.
02:21I decode Nathara. Your full archive access.
02:24One condition. I'm a scholar here, not a tribute.
02:27Leave us, all of you.
02:33And if I refuse your little proposal?
02:35A worthless tribute. Or a mind no Dragon scholar can replace.
02:40Your move.
02:40For someone so brave, your heartbeat is very loud.
02:45That's excitement, Dragon King, not fear.
02:57A side door between our rooms.
03:00Deal. Unlocked.
03:05Third attempt. The ink freezes faster than I write.
03:12Third attempt.
03:23He finished my translation in his own hand.
03:31Fits me perfectly. Palace inventory, you said?
03:35Coincidence?
03:36Coincidence.
03:37And the translation in your handwriting, also coincidence?
03:40Coincidence.
03:41800 years old, still the worst liar alive.
03:47Still smells like smoke.
03:49Like him.
03:50Goodnight, Dragon King.
03:56If this symbol correlates with the third stratum cipher...
03:58If this symbol correlates with the third stratum cipher...
04:12What happened? What did you do?
04:14Your eyes. You felt that. Across two rooms.
04:22My blood activated a dormant resonance in the crystal.
04:25That shouldn't be possible. Not for a human.
04:27If my blood resonates with Dragon energy, then I might be...
04:29Your mother. What exactly was she?
04:33A scholar. Who spent her life studying Dragon bloodlines.
04:37Don't. Don't guess. Not yet.
04:45Don't guess. Not yet.
04:47Mate marks activate only through perfect blood resonance.
04:50This is not probability. This is genetic encoding.
04:55Mate marks activate only through perfect blood resonance.
04:57This is not probability. This is genetic encoding.
05:02Not her. It can't be her.
05:16Same scar. Same arm. Every servant in this palace has one.
05:22Page 47. The glyph sequence you asked about.
05:37Three days. You shut that door three days ago.
05:40I saw what you did in the corridor, Kale.
05:43That was... a loss of control.
05:45The tributes before me. Did they carry those scars too?
05:54This isn't mine. This grief isn't mine.
06:00It's coming through the wall. From him.
06:11Dragonfire. Hair thin. This took him all night.
06:14He fixed what I broke.
06:25You got the second line wrong.
06:27This word. It's not bondage. It's choice.
06:29They look alike in old dragon, but the radical is different.
06:32I never heard them. The tributes.
06:34But I never stopped it either.
06:36I'm not here to forgive you.
06:38I'm here because line four needs your pronunciation.
06:46My filth is special.
06:50Hair to very nail.
06:53You skipped a word.
06:55What does it mean?
06:56Not relevant to the translation.
07:14That door.
07:17I won't close it tonight.
07:21Dual resonance. Dragonfire and human blood at the same time on the tablet.
07:26Then we do this together. Come.
07:33Closer. The frequency won't stabilize at this distance.
07:41Match my breathing. Slow.
07:44Slower.
07:47I can feel your heartbeat through the stone.
07:54Do you have any idea what you smell like right now?
07:57Closer.
08:07Your majesty. The blast. Are you injured?
08:10Secure the chamber. We're finished here.
08:14Scales. On my skin.
08:17They're right...
08:21Gone.
08:22Gone.
08:23Like I imagined the whole thing.
08:31Source crystal coordinates confirmed.
08:33The terrain is dangerous.
08:36You're not going to ask if I want to come.
08:38Would you stay if I asked?
08:40Not a chance.
08:44Try to keep up, Tribute.
08:47It's Scholar. Check the paperwork.
08:57What happens when we get closer to the rift?
09:01Everything you're suppressing gets amplified in there.
09:03Is that a warning?
09:08For both of us.
09:22It's back. The mark. It's burning.
09:26I know. I felt it too.
09:28I know. I felt it too.
09:36That heartbeat isn't mine. It's his.
09:39I know. I felt it too.
09:44That heartbeat isn't mine. It's his.
09:44Whatever you're feeling right now, stop.
09:50Purely academic interest.
09:52Wing aerodynamics.
09:55Dual hearts and resonance shall unlock the path.
09:57I know this cipher. I can work the activation.
10:02That phrase, dual heart resonance.
10:06An old dragon, it has another meaning.
10:08The first step of a mating contract.
10:11You could have mentioned that before I volunteered for this expedition.
10:24Heart to heart. That's what the inscription requires.
10:29Come here.
10:41Breathe with me.
10:42In.
10:43Hold.
10:44Out.
10:56Your scales aren't cold.
10:58Mother was right.
11:06Stop shaking. Stop.
11:07You survived worse than cold.
11:09Shh.
11:27It's back. And it's not going away this time.
11:37Blood and fire. Simultaneously. This is the last activation.
11:43On your mark.
12:00Done.
12:05This isn't what I agreed to.
12:09Your body agreed for you.
12:19He's 30 meters away. That's enough. That has to be enough.
12:29The source crystal data is yours. The Nathara knowledge is mine.
12:33That was our original deal.
12:34And this...
12:35This was an accident.
12:37Accidents aren't contracts.
12:40Dragons don't have accidents.
12:42But I'm human.
12:43Humans get to choose.
13:04Stop.
13:06Stop.
13:07Stop it. This isn't...
13:08I didn't choose this.
13:18Your majesty!
13:21Seven days. The bond is eating us alive.
13:25You need to hear this.
13:26Both of you will die if the bond stays suppressed.
13:29What does final confirmation mean, Russ?
13:31Exactly.
13:32Full skin to scale contact.
13:33Not... not what you think.
13:35Dragon scales against human skin.
13:36Complete alignment.
13:37But after that, it's permanent.
13:39Truly irreversible.
13:50I won't do it because I'm afraid of dying.
13:53Neither will I!
14:01Please.
14:08Not because of the contract.
14:09If this happens, it's not because of the contract.
14:16Tomorrow night, the side door stays open.
14:22I thought it through.
14:24This is my choice.
14:26Not the bonds.
14:27Not my body's.
14:29Mine.
14:44Eight hundred years you saw me from the sky.
14:47I haven't dreamed in eight hundred years.
14:50Last night I did.
14:51What did you dream about?
14:52Tomorrow.
14:58Majesty!
14:59The border!
15:00Aldric's envoy has arrived!
15:10Stay here.
15:10Aldric's envoy has arrived!
15:15Aldric.
15:21This isn't a request.
15:23He's testing how far you'll bend.
15:32But this...
15:33I found it sewn into his saddlebag lining.
15:38You read Ashfield's cipher.
15:40I'll handle the envoy.
15:41Don't see him.
15:42That's what he wants.
15:43To read your face.
15:49He knew.
15:51Father knew about mother's research protocol.
15:53The girl carries the key.
15:59Eight hundred years.
16:01I never feared in anything.
16:10What is it?
16:14Nothing.
16:15Just the wind.
16:20If the offspring carries the markers,
16:23Mother, she designed me.
16:25So this, us, the bond, the marks, all of it, is it real?
16:29Or am I just...
16:31Engineered to fit you?
16:33I've lived eight hundred years.
16:35Seen thousands of humans.
16:37If it was genetics.
16:38Why only you?
16:40Look at this line.
16:41Retrieve the asset before Draconis discovers its applications.
16:44Asset.
16:45That's what he calls me.
16:49He won't touch you.
16:51Look at this line.
16:52Retrieve the asset before Draconis discovers its applications.
16:55Asset.
16:55That's what he calls me.
16:56He won't touch you.
16:57It's not just me he's after.
16:58If he finds a way to weaponize the bond,
17:00you're a target too.
17:01The bond goes both ways.
17:03Together.
17:04She wanted to end the tribute system.
17:06That was her goal.
17:07Not to make me a weapon.
17:09A bridge.
17:10Between species.
17:11That's what I am.
17:13He'll send another envoy.
17:15We'll skip the diplomacy entirely.
17:17Border patrol has doubled since this morning.
17:20Then we need to be ready before he is.
17:36You had me followed.
17:38Protected.
17:39Followed.
17:39Into the archives.
17:40Into the library.
17:41Into the corridor outside the bathroom.
17:45Someone is watching you.
17:46You know that.
17:47And you want me to do nothing?
17:49Your solution is more eyes on me?
17:51How is this different from my cage, Kale?
17:54Do you think I'm afraid of what?
17:55Do you think I fear?
17:55You dying.
17:56You dying.
17:57And you won't even let me-
17:58If you were just afraid of me dying,
17:59Gringards would be afraid I'll leave.
18:01That's not the same thing.
18:02Mm-hmm.
18:10Dump it.
18:18I'm trying to say.
18:19You ate it.
18:20I ate it.
18:23You ate it.
18:25You ate it.
18:25I ate it.
18:26I ate it.
18:28You ate it.
18:30I ate it.
18:31You ate it.
18:31You ate it.
18:32Oh my gosh, I have 30 seconds.
18:46Hale, he's down.
18:56Look, I pressed it.
19:0030 seconds was too long.
19:0315?
19:08Three.
19:10What?
19:12Today, you pressed it.
19:14You told me to press it if...
19:16You wouldn't have, before.
19:18Yes, I'm willing to let you come now.
19:26The Nathara Rift Network can generate a defensive barrier if we activate six energy nodes in sequence.
19:32Each node amplifies the previous one.
19:35Full activation gives us a barrier that can repulse any siege force, including human siege engines.
19:42The deal...
19:45is void.
19:47You're mine now.
19:49Yours?
19:49We'll see about that.
19:54The power requirements for six nodes.
19:56Can the Rift sustain that output?
19:57I ran the calculations twice.
19:59The Rift's ambient output covers four nodes.
20:00The remaining two require supplemental dragon fire.
20:03Which is why I need your cooperation.
20:05Approved.
20:06Full resource allocation.
20:07Sarah leads the technical operation.
20:10I need to be at each node personally.
20:12My blood activates the resonance.
20:16Together.
20:17Not negotiable.
20:18You are the Dragon King.
20:20And the great battle is imminent.
20:21You cannot...
20:23Last time you went into a passage alone.
20:25There won't be a next time.
20:27You're impossible.
20:28Learn from you.
20:34What?
20:35Something's burning.
20:39I can feel your heartbeat inside me.
20:42The bond.
20:43It's awakened.
20:45No.
20:46I decide.
20:47Not the bond.
20:49I decide!
20:51Fighting it is hurting us both.
21:01You're more careful with my notes than with your own armor.
21:05Armor regenerates.
21:06Your handwriting doesn't.
21:18After the war, my research might take me everywhere.
21:23I have wings.
21:29There were centuries when nothing happened.
21:32Not war.
21:33Not peace.
21:35Just...
21:36The same sky every night.
21:41Now every night looks different.
21:43The end.
21:43The end.
21:59The end.
22:0990 seconds, 90 seconds, and it's done.
22:21Why?
22:22You said 30 seconds was too long.
22:25If we're both drained, who protects 30 seconds?
22:29You don't get to choose for me.
22:31Now you know how it feels.
22:33Not yours alone.
22:34Nothing is.
22:35Not anymore.
22:45When I was bleeding into the core, I kept seeing things.
22:50What things?
22:51You, smiling.
22:52You waiting behind the door.
22:53You heating my milk when you thought I wasn't looking.
22:56If I don't wake up, I wanted those to be the last thing.
23:09No, don't sleep.
23:12Sarah.
23:13Sarah!
23:14Sarah!
23:24A fracture in the core.
23:26When were you going to tell me?
23:30When were you going to tell me about the volume?
23:34At what?
23:35Honesty?
23:36Or being injured?
23:37We're both terrible at this.
23:39Both.
23:59Vodith Alliance Force is massing at the Eastern Ridge.
24:01Ten days ahead of projections.
24:05Five days.
24:06I can accelerate at the barrier calibration.
24:10Five days.
24:11I said five days.
24:12I didn't say I'd collapse before that.
24:14Then eat something first.
24:15That's an order.
24:16Fine.
24:17But you leave the room while I eat.
24:18You hovering makes me lose my appetite.
24:24Day three.
24:25On schedule.
24:33After this.
24:34If we survive this, I want to build something.
24:37A neutral research alliance.
24:39Human and dragon scholars.
24:42Joint Nethra studies.
24:43Where would you do this?
24:45Here.
24:46Pyrateum.
24:57You're standing closer today.
25:01Am I?
25:10Who?
25:12Not sure yet.
25:14But only five people have access to the barrier core.
25:24You're angry.
25:25Not angry.
25:26You've been clenching your fists for 20 minutes.
25:29Caught?
25:29Day three of the expedition.
25:31You left this on my pillow.
25:33Thought I didn't notice.
25:39Oh, Kale.
25:51I'll hurt you.
25:52I can't control.
25:53You won't.
25:54You had three chances to hurt me and chose pain instead.
25:58You're not protecting me, Kale.
26:00You're running.
26:00Because you're terrified.
26:02Not of hurting me.
26:03Of needing me.
26:08Don't.
26:14I don't know how to not possess you and not push you away.
26:18I don't know the space between.
26:20Then we figure it out.
26:22Together.
26:23Not you deciding alone behind walls.
26:48Hold.
26:48Hold the line.
26:49He's fine.
26:52Breach in sector three.
26:53Hold the gap.
26:54I can't leave the core.
27:00Breach in sector three.
27:19Sector three.
27:20Three hostiles.
27:21Barrier holding.
27:22I'm not leaving the core.
27:37Look at me.
27:45The breach can't be patched from here.
27:47But it can be used.
27:49Close sectors one through five.
27:51Leave the breach open.
27:52Let their main force funnel in.
27:54Then reactivate sector three behind them.
27:56Trap.
27:57Reactivation odds?
27:58The breach can't be patched from here.
28:00But it can be used.
28:01Close sectors one through five.
28:02Leave the breach open.
28:03Let their main force funnel in.
28:04Then reactivate sector three behind them.
28:06Trap.
28:0780%.
28:07No.
28:08With your fire feeding the core directly.
28:1095.
28:11Tell me where to stand.
28:13Now!
28:27Kale!
28:28They have a nether inverter.
28:29It'll tear the barry...
28:53There's no precedent we don't have.
28:58Dragonfire purge.
28:59My core energy can burn the inversion out of her blood.
29:01Your majesty.
29:02Your core already has fractures if it shatters during transfer.
29:29You don't get to save me and then...
29:48Found it.
29:48The cost is permanent.
29:50Your lifespan, it could take decades from you.
29:53When he did the same thing for me, did any of you stop him?
30:15Awake.
30:34Vojeth pulled back to regroup.
30:36The inverter damaged their own lines too.
30:38They won't attack for at least a week.
30:40Intel confirms.
30:41Their eastern flank lost two battalions to inverter backlash.
30:44We don't need to defeat their entire army.
30:47We need to kill the inverter.
30:49Direct strike on Aldrich's territory means full-scale human-dragon war.
30:53Not a siege.
30:54Surgery.
30:55I use the barriers.
30:56Collectives are precise gap.
30:57Your strike team goes through, hits the facility, comes back.
31:00In and out.
31:00No territorial invasion.
31:02No war declaration.
31:03We don't need to defeat their entire army.
31:04We need to kill the inverter.
31:05It runs on continuous juice in an Aurea energy feed.
31:07Cut the supply chain.
31:08The inverter becomes dead weight.
31:09Direct strike on Aldrich's territory means full-scale human-dragon war.
31:12Not a siege.
31:13Surgery.
31:13I use the barriers.
31:14Your strike team goes through, hit the facility gap.
31:15In and out.
31:16No territorial invasion.
31:16No war declaration.
31:17Only an attack to this is Winter's Glance.
31:19This is because tactic force is like the Stradgegrav.
31:22A named of B-Plan.
31:24When did you become a war strategist?
31:28Caught it from you.
31:32When do we move?
31:34Three days.
31:35These three days, you stay.
31:41Okay.
31:48Ready?
31:53As long as you're here.
32:01Two levels down.
32:02Third corridor left.
32:04The core is behind a vault door.
32:09Blind spot.
32:10You're seven o'clock.
32:11Use the vent shaft above.
32:12Structural base.
32:14All fire.
32:15Three seconds.
32:20It's down.
32:28Kale, the gap is closing.
32:30Move!
32:42Your wing.
32:43Let me see.
32:45It's nothing.
32:46The mission worked.
32:47You were perfect.
32:49Perfect shields don't shrink.
32:57It's over.
32:58It's over.
33:16Still here.
33:19We survived.
33:22Can we not do this again, ever?
33:25Can't promise that.
33:30But we'll survive every time.
33:33Kale.
33:34If one day there's peace.
33:37No wars.
33:38No barriers.
33:39No activations.
33:41Would you get bored?
33:54I'm here.
33:56Last time I came through this door, I was in chains.
34:20Thank you for not saying let's leave.
34:22You needed to see it through.
34:24Done.
34:25Home.
34:33Sister.
34:34I'm sorry.
34:39Live well.
34:48Home.
34:53Home.
34:54Home.
34:54Home.
34:54Home.
34:55Home.
34:55Home.
34:56Home.
35:02Home.
35:05Home.
35:07Home.
35:09Home.
35:12Home.
35:18Home.
35:19She says your genetic markers are exceptional.
35:26I'm sorry for everything you had to carry.
35:31I chose it.
35:32Every step.
35:33You think Nathara is just an energy vein?
35:36No.
35:37Dragon and human were never two species.
35:40They are two forms of one.
35:45The bond you share, it's not a mutation.
35:48It's a remembering.
35:49Your DNA is recalling what it once was.
35:54Thinking about it again.
35:56How do I know my heartbeat is mine and not programmed into me?
36:01Come with me.
36:02Before you thousands of humans passed through Pyrotanium,
36:05if genetics were enough, I should have felt something.
36:08Anything.
36:09Genetics explain attraction.
36:11They don't explain fear.
36:12I've never feared death.
36:13I fear yours.
36:14I fear you leaving.
36:15I fear you being unhappy.
36:16Those are not designed.
36:17I asked a stupid question.
36:19Not stupid.
36:20But the answer is always the same.
36:25So, the gene map.
36:27I'm going to publish it.
36:29Let everyone know the truth about both species.
36:32Marin's research?
36:33But, but I want to add a footnote.
36:35Genetics are bridges, not chains.
36:38Choice is what matters.
36:39Your papers.
36:40Your papers, I never understand them.
36:46The part you'd understand is...
36:51This isn't genetics.
36:53This is me.
36:55The part you'd understand is...
36:57Your papers, I never understand them.
37:00This isn't genetics.
37:01This is me.
37:18How many times do you not sneak this into the bathroom?
37:22Not on purpose.
37:23It's an involuntary.
37:26How many times do you not sneak this into the bathroom?
37:29An involuntary.
37:47Me too.
38:01The original text supports my interpretation.
38:03Check volume 3, page 47.
38:05Tonight stands as a historic milestone in the long journey of cooperation between our peoples.
38:10He's been talking for four minutes.
38:12I've counted twelve cliches.
38:13Our friendship has deep roots that stretch across generations.
38:16Thirteen.
38:17Together, may this enduring partnership continue to inspire peace, unity, and mutual prosperity.
38:23Lady Serafina, how remarkable that a former tribute has risen so far.
38:29Remarkable, yes.
38:31Though not as remarkable as negotiating a trade agreement while misquoting its third clause.
38:35Which, Ambassador, you did twice in tonight's toast.
38:40Do you want to go back?
38:42No.
38:45But...
38:45But...
38:46She's not asking me to rule.
38:48She's asking me to save someone's life.
38:50I can't ignore that.
38:52When do we leave?
38:53Who said you could come?
38:59I'm going back.
39:01I know.
39:02But this time, I choose to go.
39:04And I choose to come back.
39:07I'll be here.
39:09Who said you're staying together?
39:13I'm here to deal with the loyalists, not for you.
39:18As I was saying, the Eastern Safe House will be dismantled by tomorrow.
39:22A traitor who married a dragon beast has no right to stand here.
39:36Take care.
39:41Take care.
39:44Take care.
39:47Come back.
39:48You go to the other corner.
39:57It's done.
39:58All of it.
40:01Let's go home.
40:05Not a bad start.
40:25How long are you going to stand there?
40:27When I've looked enough.
40:34Growing up, nowhere was mine.
40:37Not the palace, not the road they dragged me on.
40:40Not here at first.
41:06The resonance pattern is completely different.
41:09if the seventh crystal predates the other six it could be the original template the first design
41:14and if we can map its frequency signature against the rift network's baseline we could you want to
41:19go yes when you're not stopping me since when have i been able to stop you but i have one
41:30condition
41:32wherever you go i'm there not the i'll wait for you kind the together kind
41:39then you follow me everywhere even if i'm stuck in the abyss for three years
41:45even ten
41:50what is this for when did you write it the first night on your windowsill
42:04these markings predate dragon civilization
42:07by thousands of years
42:09not just dragon look human fingerprints beside every claw mark
42:27it knows we're here
42:29maryn was right
42:30one species
42:33two forms
42:38it resonated with me but didn't open one half isn't enough
42:42your scales they're showing the same pattern as the door
42:45you're the other half
42:47the key isn't one person it's both
42:50together
42:57we'll need months to decode these markings before we can save the effort
43:00you waited this long
43:02you can't wait for us
43:16you win
43:17obviously
43:18you look good when you're angry

43:55a year ago i thought i'd watch the world end alone
44:03i forgot again
44:09i can't move the review the panel comes from three territories

45:07you already know the answer
45:08and you still ask
45:24a year ago i came here to die

45:33not tonight
45:33tonight we finish this one first
45:48it's calling
45:59the time has come

46:02come
46:05got it
46:06every coordinate
46:07this isn't an invitation
46:09it's a countdown
46:11the seventh crystal doesn't need to be found
46:14it's emerging on its own
46:15this part
46:16looks like you
46:17and this
46:19looks like me
