00:00The first time your mother laid eyes on Adrian, he was near death.
00:05In the street, in the rain, with no soul to spare him a thought, your mother found him
00:10and brought him home.
00:11In those days he did not yet know what power was.
00:18Lord Whitherk, I know.
00:19You do not know!
00:21His gift for sorcery was as though the gods themselves had set their hand upon him.
00:25The most fierce talent I have ever witnessed.
00:27Show him anything once and it was done.
00:30Any working, any art, he could strip it to its very bones and make it his own.
00:34Ten years past, the dust crystal wall began to fail.
00:37The fiends pressed through.
00:39The realm came within a breath of breaking apart.
00:42Adrian gave ten years of his life to restore the wall, and it was he who saved your mother.
00:49The dust crystal wall.
00:50He went inside it more than once.
00:53Alone, he made that place his battlefield and forced what dwelt within back down.
00:58He held them there for ten years.
01:02Then the royal blade seal...
01:03He did it.
01:04He gave your mother his word that he would protect this realm.
01:09I... I drove him away with my own hands.
01:12Yes, you drove out the only one who could hold that place.
01:15Now the dust crystal crumbles, the seal weakens, and the fiends pour in.
01:21Then could you step in?
01:23I am not he did is beyond me.
01:25In this age, only he can hold that place.
01:28And only he has the right to decide whether this realm endures.
01:43The fiends.
01:44Three fiends.
01:45A mere foretaste.
01:47What truly hungers has not yet opened its eyes.
01:50When it does, this land shall bear a different name.
02:00The hour is nearly upon us.
02:03The mortals already tear themselves apart.
02:07Their guardian will not stir.
02:09They shall destroy one another before we need lift a claw.
02:13Tomorrow we sweep through and make of the royal capital an altar to receive the lord below.
02:20First of all
