Short filmTranscript
00:00:00So that is why you were stealing spices from the pantry to make a poison for father's war horse
00:00:07Is there no end to your evil my lord, please it's not my fault
00:00:12I swear it's not since I could walk there was nothing more important to me than caring for father's horse
00:00:31The only way to end it is for one human to willingly enter the dragon valley as a sacrifice
00:00:38Will anyone step forward to save the realm?
00:00:43I volunteer as sacrifice
00:00:52You are young to have such a death wish
00:00:55I'm 18 your majesty
00:00:57My only wish is that my life means something
00:01:00Very well
00:01:01You shall travel to the dragon valley in three days time with the arrival of the full moon
00:01:07And there you will die
00:01:09Before you go I must ask
00:01:11You are so young why would you give up your life so freely
00:01:13I'm an orphan
00:01:15Found near the dragon valley as a child I have no true family to mourn me
00:01:19That is because my family already treats me like I'm dead though it was not always the case
00:01:27Lord Quinn taught me to run
00:01:30I'm doing it father look
00:01:31That's it Alistair soon you shall be riding a horse like a knight
00:01:34My older sister the brave knight Kaya taught me to fight
00:01:38Better luck next time brother
00:01:42And my sister Elaine blinded by a fever taught me to see more than just what was on the surface
00:02:01Dorian the son of a defeated noble sent to my father as payment
00:02:06I thought I found a brother that was like me
00:02:09An orphan
00:02:10Except he came from noble birth
00:02:13But it was not meant to be
00:02:24While hunts
00:02:26Dorian blamed me for a stab wound he gave himself
00:02:32There is room for only one foundling in this family
00:02:41My family believed him
00:02:43Father banished me from the house
00:02:45Ordering me to live in the stables
00:02:50I've been there ever since despite the pain
00:02:53The quins loved me for many years
00:02:56They saved my life
00:02:58Now I can repay them by saving their lives
00:03:01And the realm
00:03:03No one will miss me
00:03:06You are very brave to do this Alistair
00:03:08I will make sure you have the finest clothes from my palace
00:03:11And you can travel home in my private carriage
00:03:14Majesty I do have one request
00:03:15Name it and it is yours
00:03:17I wish that my identity stays a secret
00:03:19That no one outside of the people in this room
00:03:22Will know what I have volunteered to do
00:03:24I promise no one will know
00:03:26Let no one here ever speak Alistair's name
00:03:29Or mention what he promised to do today
00:03:31So long as Alistair is alive
00:03:32This is my command
00:03:34Under penalty of death
00:03:45Three days
00:03:46In three days I will be gone
00:04:05Thank you
00:04:09Just as I had hoped the manor was quiet this early
00:04:13There would be no family around to see me arriving from my secret trip to the capital
00:04:19Though perhaps I've spoken too soon
00:04:22They seem angry
00:04:23And where have you been?
00:04:27There are dragons on the loose, boy
00:04:29You should be guarding this manor with your life
00:04:31Not disappearing like a common coward
00:04:33Forgive me, my lord
00:04:36A stable rat dressed as a prince
00:04:38He probably stole these clothes
00:04:41You're lying
00:04:42A thief in fancy clothes
00:04:44Are the clothes we give you not enough?
00:04:46Did you have to go steal these?
00:04:56Yet again you embarrass our family
00:04:58You are just a stable boy
00:05:00The mud is where you belong and where you should stay
00:05:09In three days I will be gone
00:05:26Tell me
00:05:27When do you plan to tell the quins that you volunteered as the dragon's sacrifice?
00:05:31You know
00:05:31But how?
00:05:35People see me as nothing more than a loyal butler
00:05:38But there is more to me than meets the eye
00:05:53I've decided not to tell them
00:05:55They'll find out soon enough
00:05:57Will you keep this between us?
00:06:00Yes
00:06:01I will keep your secret
00:06:02The realm needs a sacrifice, not a family scandal
00:06:05A heart can break twice, boy
00:06:07Once from cruelties
00:06:08And once from silence
00:06:12Then let mine break quietly
00:06:15Certainly more than my family
00:06:20That scream came from Lady Quinn's rose garden
00:06:24Mother!
00:06:29My roses
00:06:31My beautiful, innocent roses
00:06:34They're dead
00:06:40Mother
00:06:40Someone put salt in the soil
00:06:42Nothing can survive in your garden
00:06:44Who could have done this?
00:06:46Alistair was angry that you praised my pruning yesterday
00:06:48That's not true
00:06:49I've been gone and only just now returned
00:06:51Gone where?
00:06:52To destroy the evidence?
00:06:54We should search his room
00:06:59There is nothing to find
00:07:01I swear, please believe me
00:07:03There, under his bed
00:07:15I don't believe my eyes
00:07:17A sack of salt
00:07:19Half empty
00:07:28I told you he did it
00:07:30Those roses were the one thing I trusted you with
00:07:33How could you...
00:07:35I swear I didn't harm your roses
00:07:40I haven't even been here long enough to do it
00:07:42You saw me arrive early this morning
00:07:44That's true
00:07:45Alistair wasn't here this morning
00:07:46Yes
00:07:47Very convenient that he was absent
00:07:49Almost like he knew he needed an alibi
00:07:51What?
00:07:52No, that isn't what I was doing
00:07:53Then what were you doing?
00:07:54Where were you exactly, Alistair?
00:07:57I can't say
00:07:59But it will become clear in three days
00:08:01It's clear to me now
00:08:02You intentionally destroyed my wife's prized roses!
00:08:06I didn't...
00:08:07Please, Mother
00:08:07Do not call me that
00:08:10You've changed, Alistair
00:08:11I don't know this person you've become
00:08:13I'm not your mother and you're not my son
00:08:16My heart is breaking
00:08:17Her words hurt worse than any beating ever could
00:08:23First you crippled Dorian on the hunt
00:08:25And now you murder Mother's prized rose garden
00:08:28I didn't do any of those things
00:08:32Isn't it suspicious that Dorian knew exactly where to find the salt?
00:08:36How dare you accuse Dorian?
00:08:43Please, Kaya
00:08:44Please believe me
00:08:48Don't hurt him, dear sister
00:08:50We should feel sorry for Alistair
00:08:52It's been hard for him to adjust to having me around as a foster brother
00:08:55But I understand
00:08:56Dorian, you're so kind despite everything Alistair has done to you
00:08:59It's a shining light that even I can see
00:09:02If only they knew the truth
00:09:05That it was Dorian stabbed himself to turn the Quins against me
00:09:08The Quinn family will blame you for this
00:09:11And love me in return
00:09:15It doesn't matter
00:09:17In three days I'll be gone and never return
00:09:22It took so long to clean the mud off me that I arrived at dinner late
00:09:25But, to my surprise, I found Dorian sitting in my usual seat at the family table
00:09:31Excuse me, Dorian, there must be some mistake
00:09:33You're in my seat
00:09:36Rather than fight Dorian, I figured it best to treat him with kindness and hope he did the same
00:09:41But Lord Quinn had other ideas
00:09:43The only mistake, Alistair
00:09:46Is you thinking that there is a seat here for you at this table after what you did today
00:09:50You may dine with the servants
00:09:52Until you stop these desperate cries for attention
00:09:55You will remain as you were when we found you
00:09:57An outsider
00:10:03Yes, my lord
00:10:04Father, you'll regret the way you've treated me when I'm gone
00:10:08If you only knew that I've already promised to save your life
00:10:18Thank you
00:10:19Now that he's washed the mud off his stolen clothes
00:10:21I'd like to propose a toast
00:10:23To Alistair
00:10:24The cleanest stable boy I know
00:10:28If only they knew what I have promised to do
00:10:31My sacrifice to the Dragon King would earn a real toast
00:10:34Not this nasty joke
00:10:41My lords, the family sheep
00:10:43They have escaped from their pins into the night
00:10:47How could this have happened?
00:10:49Alistair is the stable boy
00:10:50It was his responsibility
00:10:52He must have let them escape
00:10:55I couldn't believe it
00:10:57I cared for those sheep and would never let them loose
00:10:59But there's no time to argue
00:11:01With dragons in the realm, I must hurry to save their lives
00:11:15Come on, sheep
00:11:16Come back to your pens
00:11:19It will kill me
00:11:20Now I'll never make it to the Vale
00:11:21Never save the realm
00:11:25Just make it quick
00:11:42Why haven't you killed me?
00:11:46Well, well, well
00:11:47There you are
00:11:48Dorian
00:11:49Come to rub it in my face
00:11:50He has no idea the danger he's in
00:11:55Dorian, you must leave
00:11:57I wouldn't miss the sight of you scrambling for the world
00:12:00You see
00:12:01I was the one that let the sheep out of their pens
00:12:07I did it because I knew that you would be blamed
00:12:10There is only room for one of us in House Quinn
00:12:13And it will be
00:12:14Me
00:12:17Finally
00:12:18Dorian admits his plan
00:12:20He wants to make my family hate me and love him
00:12:28But Dorian has no idea what danger he's gotten us into
00:12:31I need to act now or we both will die
00:12:35Brother, watch out!
00:12:44Alistair attacked me
00:12:45He spooked the sheep and caused a stampede
00:12:49It's not true
00:12:50There was a dragon
00:12:51I was only trying to save Dorian
00:12:53The dragon that almost burnt us both alive has disappeared
00:12:56And where has this dragon gone?
00:12:58Why do you keep lying?
00:13:00Father, please, don't be so hard on Alistair
00:13:02He only lies like this because he is so jealous of me
00:13:27My hidden magic will reset your broken bones
00:13:31But it will be painful
00:13:37The pain of Emerus setting my bones back into place was great
00:13:40But nothing compared to the pain of how my family treats me
00:13:47You have done so much for the Quins
00:13:49And still your family leaves you on the ground like trash
00:13:52It's true that I love my family even though they treat me so poorly
00:13:56But they once loved me too
00:13:57And I can never forget that
00:13:58It doesn't matter
00:14:00I'll soon be gone from this place forever
00:14:03Gone?
00:14:04Gone to where?
00:14:05My sister's heard my secret plan
00:14:07I've been caught
00:14:09What have you been hiding from us?
00:14:13I intend to take a job that's far away from here
00:14:16Why wait?
00:14:17Why not leave now?
00:14:20Sister, please
00:14:21Alistair is clearly lost and lashing out
00:14:24Do you expect us to beg you to stay?
00:14:26After everything you've done?
00:14:29Kaya
00:14:29Enough
00:14:31How could you?
00:14:33A job
00:14:34If you wanted attention
00:14:36This is a pathetic way to get it
00:14:39I spent my entire life wanting a son
00:14:42Or they're just someone whose family wouldn't miss them if they were gone
00:14:46I wondered if my family was about to guess that it was me
00:14:48If I had given away too much
00:14:50But then I realized that they wouldn't believe me
00:14:52Even if I told them
00:14:54I hate that my injuries prevent me from sacrificing myself
00:14:57I know that I would have done it easily if I weren't so crippled
00:15:00Don't be modest, Dorian
00:15:02You have exhibited bravery in the face of injury
00:15:04I know that the volunteer, whoever they are, would be impressed with you
00:15:10You think that's funny?
00:15:12What's so funny about bra-
00:15:20How can you do this, Alistair?
00:15:22Working with hands that aren't even healed
00:15:24And for people who despise you
00:15:26No matter what you do
00:15:28I will be gone in two days' time
00:15:30And I will never forgive myself
00:15:32If I leave without curing Elaine's blindness
00:15:35I promised her
00:15:37Elaine dreams of seeing the sky
00:15:39And garden again
00:15:40And I want her to have it
00:15:42Even if she hates me
00:15:45What are you doing here?
00:15:47I came to bring Embress a menu for the banquet
00:15:49But didn't expect to find you
00:15:59What is that smell?
00:16:01Cinnamon?
00:16:02Cloves?
00:16:03What possible reason could you be hoarding these?
00:16:05You don't cook
00:16:06Are you stealing from us?
00:16:08Elaine has mistaken my potion making for stealing
00:16:10But I can't possibly tell her the truth
00:16:12I can explain
00:16:13You are hoarding our support
00:16:16What the hell is it?
00:16:17I am looking for a man named Alistair Quinn
00:16:22Alistair?
00:16:23What could a servant of the Queen possibly want with that obnoxious filth pile?
00:16:28What has he done this time?
00:16:30The Queen's messages are only for those she addresses them to
00:16:32They are her secrets alone
00:16:34They are her secrets alone
00:16:35He's not here
00:16:36Then I shall wait for his return
00:16:38I wouldn't hold my breath
00:16:39He disappears for days at a time
00:16:42He is cruel to all of us
00:16:44On my honor
00:16:46Who was that outside?
00:16:48If the family discovers that Alistair is the savior of the realm
00:16:51They will love him forever
00:16:53I must ensure that no one ever learns of his secret sacrifice
00:16:58Who was that outside?
00:17:00No one
00:17:01Just a beggar asking for orbs
00:17:03I sent him away with coin
00:17:05The poor wretch
00:17:08Now sister
00:17:09Not all of us can be so lucky
00:17:12I thank the gods every day that I am a Quinn
00:17:19Durian
00:17:20You can walk
00:17:22Of course I can you imbecile
00:17:25But why?
00:17:26Why are you doing this?
00:17:27Because you took the fucking life that I should have been living
00:17:30I am the son of a noble
00:17:31Not some gutter trash foundling like you
00:17:33I deserve the very finest in life
00:17:35I deserve the love of the Quinns
00:17:36And you deserve to go back to the sewer you came from
00:17:39Surely there's enough love in this great house for both of us
00:17:41That may be true
00:17:42But I'd still want you gone for one simple reason
00:17:45So that is why you were stealing spices from the pantry
00:17:49To make a poison for father's war horse
00:17:53Is there no end to your evil?
00:17:55My lord please
00:17:56It's not my fault
00:17:57I swear it's not
00:17:58Since I could walk
00:18:00There was nothing more important to me
00:18:01Than caring for father's horses
00:18:10I wanted my father to be proud of me
00:18:14To see how well I treated the horses that he loved
00:18:36Today you both awaken your dragon power
00:18:39For the hails
00:18:40That's everything
00:18:42Begin
00:18:46Father
00:18:46I won't let you down
00:18:59My god are my eyes playing tricks
00:19:01Level 8
00:19:02Moonlight City's never seen talent like this
00:19:04Heavens
00:19:05The boys are prodigy
00:19:06The hails have got themselves a true dragon
00:19:09Owen
00:19:09Owen
00:19:10Your turn
00:19:12What level do you think the little one pulls off?
00:19:15Can't be bad
00:19:16Hailblood has never started beneath level
00:19:18His half-brother just hit 8
00:19:20The younger's got to be 6, 7 at least
00:19:23Right, maybe he'll even pull off a miracle
00:19:37Wait
00:19:37Nothing?
00:19:40Not even a spark?
00:19:41How is that even possible?
00:19:43Unless
00:19:43He's not really the patriarch's son
00:19:45Shush
00:19:45Say that again and you're dead
00:19:46Again!
00:19:47Again!
00:20:11Thank you
00:20:17Your father sent you here, the Dragon's Hollow.
00:20:21You'll awaken your power or it'll kill you.
00:20:43But lad, blessed with the Dragon God's mark at such a young age, it's unheard of.
00:20:48It shows you a full level above dragon power.
00:21:02This kid's a fighter.
00:21:12Kids getting stronger by the day can barely hold him off.
00:21:16If he sees me bleeding, I'm finished.
00:21:18Some sanctuary master I'd be, defeated by my own pupil.
00:21:38You have a letter from home. Take a look.
00:21:42Father's own hand.
00:21:45He remembers me after all. He wants me home.
00:21:49My worthless son home again.
00:21:52Will he really block Ellis's from ill fortune?
00:21:55Make my heir a Dragon Knight?
00:21:57Of course.
00:22:02Clan leader, the young master sent word back saying he survived the Dragon's Hollow and even taken a master.
00:22:15Trade one failure for a Dragon Knight? Now that's a bargain.
00:22:25Time to leave the Dragon's Hollow. Build some character, earn some scars. Moonlight City's selection is starting. Go enter it.
00:22:32One more thing. That gold mark of yours, don't call on it. Not unless you're dying, hear me?
00:22:37Understood, master.
00:22:50Wait for me.
00:22:56Wait for me.
00:23:02Let him go.
00:23:03Those two joined at the heap.
00:23:05Silas, your pupil went from powerless nobody to nearly your equal in just ten years.
00:23:10Six rings of the Dragon God's mark. Only a sanctuary master's ever awoken that mark.
00:23:15He'll be the next sanctuary master, no question. Lucky he's stuck at six rings. One more, my title's his. Terrifying
00:23:22that talent.
00:23:23You're not getting any younger. He's catching up.
00:23:26This is embarrassing.
00:23:42Sanctuary master.
00:23:44The boys from Moonlight City. Their selection's starting. Send someone to run it.

00:28:34look it's ellis hale heard a dragon knight paid the hails a personal visit yesterday selection
00:28:39hasn't even started and ellis is already halfway in the door god just comparing myself to him hurts
00:28:45everyone today's selection will be splitted in press round one the dragon's pressure dragon
00:28:52marshal lord ferris's mount unleashes its power if you are swept away by its presence you fail
00:28:57stay on your feet you advance
00:29:12can't take a little pressure you'll never bond a dragon never become a dragon knight
00:29:45this armor cost father a fortune
00:29:47I made enchantments to fence off the roots. This pressure means nothing.
00:29:50Not bad. Standing firm under Blaze's full pressure. Exceptional. That's the future Sanctuary Master for you.
00:30:03This dragon's huge, but way weaker than Master's. I feel nothing, honestly.
00:30:11Pressure's probably faded by the time it reached that corner. My worthless half-brother sneaking through on a cheap trick.
00:30:18An embarrassment to the Hale name.
00:30:25Wait, isn't that Owen Howe? Why is he still on his feet?
00:30:28Standing. Look where. Cramped in the corner. Pressure probably never touched him.
00:30:32He snuck into round two. Shameless. How'd the Hales end up with that?
00:30:39This isn't fair. He stood so far back. Never held a thing. That's cheating.
00:30:48Dragging a trash pet dragon with him into the selection? Whoever's kid that is should be embarrassed of them herself.
00:30:53The Hales, I think. How'd the Hales end up with a son like that?
00:30:56Sneaking through like that. Humiliates the Hale name, that's for sure.
00:31:00Come now, Ellis. This is the brother. Spent a decade training in the mountains all just to cheat his way
00:31:05to victory.
00:31:05Ha! He's a master at it, then. Sneaking past a great dragon's pressure like a rat.
00:31:11The Hale family sent sons. The Sanctuary Master's disciple must be remarkable. Outstanding.
00:31:19It must be Ellis, then. He looks fit to lead the Sanctuary.
00:31:24Round two. Combat trials. Simple rules.
00:31:29Draw lots. Pair off. Fight. Win advance. Lose. You're out. Show us what you've got.
00:31:48Number three. Whoever draws you is knocked out for sure.
00:31:52Doesn't matter who. Ellis Hale wins. Easy.
00:31:55Match three. Ellis Hale versus Owen Hale.
00:32:00The Hale brothers drawn against each other? Rough luck.
00:32:02Rough for who? It's bad for Owen. For Ellis, though? Free pass to round three.
00:32:06You're right. Ellis is through for sure.
00:32:08Interesting. Sorry, brother. You walked right into my hands. Don't expect me to show mercy.
00:32:15Sothacer spoke true. Owen's return will bless Ellis. He was never any match for his brother.
00:32:22Go. Make that disgrace forfeit the second he's up there. Don't let Ellis waste his strength on him.
00:32:32Owen. The family head says forfeit now. Don't waste your brother's strength.
00:32:38Forfeit. Not a chance.
00:32:49How dare you! That's an order from your father!
00:32:53Father wants a forfeit. Let Ellis bow out. I won't.
00:32:58You! Defying your own father!
00:33:02You will regret this!
00:33:11The Sanctuary Master's disciple, no doubt. Majestic.
00:33:15Facing off with the family rejecting his pet lizard.
00:33:18Maybe Blaze's power has a blind spot. Lucky break, that's all.
00:33:26Forfeit now, brother. There's still time.
00:33:29Blades don't stop the familial bonds.
00:33:33Ellis, he was always such a gentle.
00:33:34He is. Shame his half-brother doesn't know a gift when he sees one.
00:33:49That pet of yours.
00:33:52Cute.
00:33:54None of your business.
00:33:56Round two! Match three!
00:33:58Begin!
00:34:03You animal!
00:34:04Kneel!
00:34:05Owen!
00:34:06What do you think you're doing?
00:34:08The food in your belly.
00:34:09The clothes off your back.
00:34:10All from me.
00:34:11Ignoring my orders.
00:34:13Raising a fist against your own brother.
00:34:15Your brother's the hale heir.
00:34:17Moonlight City's genius.
00:34:19Level 8, just five years old.
00:34:20Earned a silver badge at 16.
00:34:22And you?
00:34:22Your mother died because of you.
00:34:24Now you want me dead too?
00:34:25No.
00:34:29A curse on this family.
00:34:31I said all those years ago a baby that killed its mother would spell certain death for its
00:34:35father.
00:34:36Wasn't I right?
00:34:37Such a fine woman, his mother.
00:34:39How'd she give birth to this disgrace?
00:34:41His mother died of shame, I'm telling you!
00:34:44Hayes, calm down.
00:34:46That brat's not worth it.
00:34:47He's just riding Ellis' name for attention.
00:34:50Indulge his tantrum and he'll only get worse.
00:34:53Actions speak louder than words.
00:34:55Call the city guard.
00:34:56Give him a few dozen lashes, he'll fall in line.
00:35:03I-I just wanted to prove I'm not less than anyone.
00:35:15That's the future Sanctuary Master's father.
00:35:18What am I supposed to say?
00:35:20Watch that toad.
00:35:22I'm your old man and this is how you talk to me?
00:35:25You are worse than an animal.
00:35:27You're an arrogant, conceited guy!
00:35:34Have you ever treated me as your son?
00:35:36You've been very clear.
00:35:37I'm worth less than a hair on Ellis' head to you.
00:35:40At least you throw your hunting dogs a bone.
00:35:42What did I ever get?
00:35:43What kind of father acts the way you do?
00:35:46You?
00:35:47Fine!
00:35:48Fine!
00:35:49Touch one hair on your brother's head, you're done with the hails.
00:35:52Forever!
00:35:52No son of mine.
00:35:54No name, no family, no roots.
00:35:56You'll be nothing but a stray raised by some nobody in the woods.
00:35:59A stray.
00:36:00A stray dog.
00:36:01The hails raised a stray dog.
00:36:05So that's why he wouldn't leave the platform.
00:36:07One last grab at glory?
00:36:08Shame.
00:36:09He's about to lose it all instead.
00:36:11Hayes, you want to kick him out?
00:36:12Send him my way.
00:36:13I need a guard dog and he's built for it.
00:36:19Everyone, hear me out.
00:36:21Owen's been troubled since he was a boy, but he's still hailed blood.
00:36:25He only wants to prove himself.
00:36:27I understand that, as his brother.
00:36:30Listen to that!
00:36:31That's the bearing of a great house!
00:36:33Ellis!
00:36:34Generous to a fault!
00:36:36Destined for greatness!
00:36:38Here's the deal, brother.
00:36:40Walk off this stage, grovel to father, I'll speak for you.
00:36:43Play smart, and this ends easy.
00:36:46Embarrass me, and you're gone for good.
00:36:49There are worse things than death.
00:36:50No one will mourn a stray dog.
00:36:52Then from this moment on, I'll renounce the hail name!
00:36:59Won't listen, will you?
00:37:00Don't blame me then.
00:37:01Let me show you real despair.
00:37:03Let me show you the dragon Lord Ferris gave me.
00:37:06Chose this dragon myself for the future Sanctuary Master.
00:37:11Maximizes his power.
00:37:12Right where he's at.
00:37:14Lord Ferris, preparing a dragon for Ellis!
00:37:17The Hales have a dragon knight!
00:37:20A real one!
00:37:23Heaven's a dragon before he's even a knight!
00:37:25Ellis, born lucky!
00:37:27I'm jealous.
00:37:28Wish a dragon knight thought that much of me!
00:37:34Come forth!
00:37:36G-Dragon!
00:37:51Heaven's a real dragon!
00:37:52Ellis Hale already has his own dragon!
00:37:54Just crown him dragon knight and be done with it!
00:37:56The Hale ancestors must be printing from their graves!
00:38:06A jade dragon.
00:38:08Full grown.
00:38:09Chose it myself for the future Sanctuary Master, Ellis Hale.
00:38:11Docile.
00:38:12Easy to tame.
00:38:13Perfect firstborn.
00:38:14Not top tier, sure.
00:38:16But for a knight who didn't set foot in the Sanctuary, a gift beyond his imagination, I'm sure.
00:38:20Now that's the spectacle a future Sanctuary Master deserves.
00:38:25As for that one over there, once Ellis is in the Sanctuary, I'll be his most trusted man.
00:38:32That's it, Ellis!
00:38:34Beat that ungrateful track senseless!
00:38:36Go, Ellis!
00:38:37Show that failure what real talent looks like!
00:38:41Come, worthless brother.
00:38:43Let this whole city see the gap between us!
00:38:46Come, worthless brother.
00:38:50Failure.
00:38:51Cast out by your own family.
00:38:54Kneel!
00:38:56Fly!
00:38:59I'm not a failure!
00:39:02I'm Owen!
00:39:03My mother was Liz Manta!
00:39:05I'm her son!
00:39:08Kneel!
00:39:29Together!
00:39:32Together!
00:39:45No!
00:39:47Alice, in danger!
00:39:57I can't take one hit.
00:39:59All that flashy showmanship, and for what?
00:40:01To think I almost believed it was a real golden dragon.
00:40:04It's alright. Rest. I've got you. I'll keep you safe.
00:40:09It's the legendary golden dragon staff, the stuff of legend.
00:40:13One of the Sanctuary's three sacred relics, forged by the last Sanctuary.
00:40:18Everyone saw it! Of course it's real!
00:40:21I am a gold-level werewolf. I can see his power at a glance.
00:40:25Unless, do you think his level is beyond me?
00:40:32I'd wager he shattered the stone using some dirty trick.
00:40:35I hereby declare, he is disqualified from the competition!
00:40:41The pack tournament is sacred. We will not allow a fraud to taint the prestige of the competition.
00:40:48Allow me the dress. Allow me the Master's disciple. All dragon knights live to serve you, the future Sanctuary Master.
00:40:57The Sanctuary Master's disciple? He thinks that's me? What is he-
00:41:02But, I don't even know the Sanctuary Master's name. When did I take a master?
00:41:07Unless, impossible. It can't be him. He's a total failure. Spent a decade training with some old backwoods hermit.
00:41:14No way he was with the Sanctuary Master. This is a-
00:41:19Rise, Lord Ferris. My Master's always kept a low profile. Commanded me to hide my identity.
00:41:25But you've seen through it. No sense hiding it now.
00:41:32Ellis! You, you're the Sanctuary Master's disciple? Since when? Why didn't you say something?
00:41:42Forgive me, Father. My Master forbade it, until I formally entered the Sanctuary. Meant to tell you our-
00:41:48Good! Good! My boy! All those years not wasted after all! From now on, the Hales are proud of you!
00:41:54If your mother could see this!
00:41:57Don't worry, Father. I won't disappoint you.
00:42:10See this? This is the gap between us. Everything you'd kill for, everything you fight tooth and nail for, it
00:42:18just-
00:42:25I know what you're thinking. Why would a Dragon Knight bother with someone like you?
00:42:29Simple. Nothing touches the Sanctuary's future Master. Not a scratch. That strike carried killing in taint.
00:42:36If you weren't his brother, that blow would have done far worse. Killing in taint?! This is our fight on
00:42:41the trial platform! Why wouldn't there make-
00:42:43this? Raising your blade at the future Sanctuary Master?
00:42:49Brother. Lord Ferris is showing mercy. Don't be a fool about it.
00:42:56Kneel. I kneel for my Master. I kneel for my Mother. No one else is worthy!
00:43:02Then you deserve death. I'll let you strike first. Push me back one step. I'll speak for you. Ask your
00:43:10kind
00:43:10brother to spare you. Might even let you stay on as a Sanctuary Guard. Come. A failure who dares strike
00:43:19the three. Don't strike by then. Don't blame me for hitting first. Three. Two. One.
00:43:39No. No.
00:43:47So that's why you're stealing spices from the pantry? To make a poison for father's warhorse.
00:43:54Is there no end to your evil? My lord please, it's not my fault! I swear it's not! Since I
00:44:00could walk,
00:44:00Look, there was nothing more important to me than caring for father's horse.
00:44:06Don't get it!
00:44:11Don't complete it!
00:44:15The only way to end it is for one human to willingly enter the Dragon Valley as a sacrifice.
00:44:22Will anyone step forward to save the realm?
00:44:27I volunteer a sacrifice.
00:44:35You are young to have such a death wish.
00:44:38I'm eighteen, Your Majesty.
00:44:39My only wish is that my life means something.
00:44:42Very well.
00:44:43You shall travel to the Dragon Valley in three days' time with the arrival of the full moon.
00:44:48And there you will die.
00:44:50Before you go, I must ask, you are so young, why would you give up your life so freely?
00:44:55I'm an orphan.
00:44:56Found near the Dragon Valley as a child, I have no true family to mourn me.
00:44:59That is because my family already treats me like I'm dead, though it was not always the case.
00:45:07Lord Quinn taught me to run.
00:45:09I'm doing it, Father, look!
00:45:10That's it, Alistair.
00:45:11Soon you shall be riding a horse like a knight.
00:45:13My older sister, the brave knight Kaya, taught me to fight.
00:45:16Better luck next time, brother.
00:45:20And my sister, Elaine, blinded by a fever, taught me to see more than just what was on the surface.
00:45:34My sister.
00:45:34Why is that option?
00:45:37Dorian, the son of a defeated noble sent to my father as payment.
00:45:42I thought I found a brother that was like me.
00:45:45An orphan.
00:45:46Except he came from noble birth.
00:45:48But it was not meant to be.
00:45:59While hunts, Dorian blamed me for a stab wound he gave himself.
00:46:06There is room for only one foundling in this family.
00:46:13My family believed him.
00:46:16Father banished me from the house, ordering me to live in the stables.
00:46:22I've been there ever since, despite the pain.
00:46:25The quins loved me for many years.
00:46:28They saved my life.
00:46:30Now I can repay them by saving their lives and the realm.
00:46:34No one will miss me.
00:46:37You are very brave to do this, Alistair.
00:46:39I will make sure you have the finest clothes from my palace and you can travel home in my private
00:46:43carriage.
00:46:44Majesty, I do have one request.
00:46:45Name it and it is yours.
00:46:47I wish that my identity stays a secret.
00:46:49That no one outside of the people in this room will know what I have volunteered to do.
00:46:53I promise no one will know.
00:46:55Let no one here ever speak Alistair's name or mention what he promised to do today so long as Alistair
00:47:00is alive.
00:47:01This is my command, under penalty of death.
00:47:12Three days.
00:47:13In three days I will be gone.
00:47:17Interesting.
00:47:32Thanks.
00:47:34Just as I had hoped, the manor was quiet this early.
00:47:38There would be no family around to see me arriving from my secret trip to the capital.
00:47:43Though perhaps I've spoken too soon.
00:47:46They seem angry.
00:47:49And where have you been?
00:47:50There are dragons on the loose, boy.
00:47:52You should be guarding this manor with your life, not disappearing like a common coward.
00:47:57Forgive me, my lord.
00:47:59A stable rat dressed as a prince.
00:48:01He probably stole these clothes.
00:48:03You're lying!
00:48:04A thief in fancy clothes.
00:48:06Are the clothes we give you not enough?
00:48:08Did you have to go steal these?
00:48:16Yet again you embarrass our family.
00:48:18You are just a stable boy.
00:48:20The mud is where you belong and where you should stay.
00:48:28In three days I will be gone.
00:48:44Tell me, when do you plan to tell the Quinns that you volunteered as the dragon sacrifice?
00:48:48You know, but how?
00:48:52People see me as nothing more than a loyal butler.
00:48:54But there is more to me than meets the eye.
00:49:09I've decided not to tell them.
00:49:10They'll find out soon enough.
00:49:12Will you keep this between us?
00:49:15Yes.
00:49:16I will keep your secret.
00:49:17The realm needs a sacrifice, not a family scandal.
00:49:19A heart can break twice, boy.
00:49:21Once from cruelties and once from silence.
00:49:26Then let mine break quietly.
00:49:29Certainly more than my family.
00:49:33That scream came from Lady Quinn's rose garden.
00:49:37Mother!
00:49:42My roses!
00:49:44My beautiful, innocent roses!
00:49:46They're dead!
00:49:52Mother, someone put salt in the soil.
00:49:53Nothing can survive in your garden.
00:49:55Who could have done this?
00:49:56Alistair was angry that you praised my pruning yesterday.
00:49:59That's not true.
00:50:00I've been gone and only just now returned.
00:50:02Gone where?
00:50:02To destroy the evidence.
00:50:04We should search his room.
00:50:08There is nothing to find.
00:50:10I swear, please believe me.
00:50:13There!
00:50:13Under his bed!
00:50:23I don't believe my eyes.
00:50:25A sack of salt.
00:50:27Half empty.
00:50:34I told you he did it.
00:50:36Those roses were the one thing I trusted you with.
00:50:40How could you...
00:50:43I swear I didn't harm your roses.
00:50:46I haven't even been here long enough to do it.
00:50:48You saw me arrive early this morning.
00:50:49That's true.
00:50:50Alistair wasn't here this morning.
00:50:52Yes.
00:50:52Very convenient that he was absent.
00:50:54Almost like he knew he needed an alibi.
00:50:56What?
00:50:56No, that isn't what I was doing.
00:50:58Then what were you doing?
00:50:59Where were you exactly, Alistair?
00:51:01I can't say.
00:51:03It would all become clear in three days.
00:51:05It's clear to me now.
00:51:06You intentionally destroyed my wife's prized roses.
00:51:09I didn't...
00:51:10Please, Mother.
00:51:11Do not call me that.
00:51:13You've changed, Alistair.
00:51:14I don't know this person you've become.
00:51:16I'm not your mother and you're not my son.
00:51:18My heart is breaking.
00:51:20Her words hurt worse than any beating ever could.
00:51:23I haven't done.
00:51:25First, you crippled Dorian on the hunt.
00:51:27And now you murder Mother's prized rose garden.
00:51:30I didn't do any of those things.
00:51:33Isn't it suspicious that Dorian knew exactly where to find the salt?
00:51:36How dare you accuse Dorian!
00:51:43Please, Kaya.
00:51:44Please believe me.
00:51:46Yes.
00:51:48Don't hurt him, dear sister.
00:51:50We should feel sorry for Alistair.
00:51:51It's been hard for him to adjust to having me around as a foster brother.
00:51:54But I understand.
00:51:55Dorian, you're so kind despite everything Alistair has done to you.
00:51:58It's a shining light that even I can see.
00:52:01If only they knew the truth.
00:52:03That it was Dorian stabbed himself to turn the Quinns against me.
00:52:06The Quin family will blame you for this.
00:52:08And love me in return.
00:52:12It doesn't matter.
00:52:14In three days I'll be gone and never return.
00:52:18It took so long to clean the mud off me that I arrived at dinner late.
00:52:22But, to my surprise, I found Dorian sitting in my usual seat at the family table.
00:52:27Excuse me, Dorian.
00:52:28There must be some mistake.
00:52:29You're in my seat.
00:52:31Rather than fight Dorian, I figured it best to treat him with kindness and hope he did the same.
00:52:36But Lord Quinn had other ideas.
00:52:38The only mistake, Alistair, is you thinking that there is a seat here for you at this table after what
00:52:43you did today.
00:52:44You may dine with the servants.
00:52:46Until you stop these desperate cries for attention, you will remain as you were when we found you.
00:52:51An outsider.
00:52:56Yes, my lord.
00:52:57Father, you'll regret the way you've treated me when I'm gone.
00:53:00If you only knew that I've already promised to save your life.
00:53:05Yes.
00:53:10Now that he's washed the mud off his stolen clothes, I'd like to propose a toast to Alistair, the cleanest
00:53:16stable boy I know.
00:53:18If only they knew what I have promised to do.
00:53:21My sacrifice to the Dragon King would earn a real toast, not this nasty joke.
00:53:30My lords, the family sheep, they have escaped from their pins into the night.
00:53:36How could this have happened?
00:53:38Alistair is the stable boy.
00:53:39It was his responsibility.
00:53:40He must have let them escape.
00:53:43I couldn't believe it.
00:53:45I cared for those sheep and would never let them loose.
00:53:47But there's no time to argue.
00:53:49With dragons in the realm, I must hurry to save their lives.
00:54:01Come on, sheep.
00:54:02Come back to your pens.
00:54:05It will kill me.
00:54:06Now I'll never make it to the Veil.
00:54:07Never save the realm.
00:54:11Just make it quick.
00:54:25Why haven't you killed me?
00:54:29Well, well, well.
00:54:30There you are.
00:54:32Dorian, come to rub it in my face.
00:54:34He has no idea the danger he's in.
00:54:38Dorian, you must leave.
00:54:40I wouldn't miss the sight of you scrambling for the world.
00:54:42You see, I was the one that let the sheep out of their pens.
00:54:48I did it because I knew that you would be blamed.
00:54:52There is only room for one of us in House Quinn, and it will be me.
00:54:57Finally, Dorian admits his plan.
00:55:00He wants to make my family hate him and love him.
00:55:08But Dorian has no idea what danger he's gotten us into.
00:55:11I need to act now or we both will die.
00:55:14Brother, watch out!
00:55:22Alistair attacked me.
00:55:23He spooked the sheep and caused a stampede.
00:55:26It's not true.
00:55:28There was a dragon.
00:55:29I was only trying to save Dorian.
00:55:31The dragon that almost burnt us both alive has disappeared.
00:55:33And where has this dragon gone?
00:55:35Why do you keep lying?
00:55:37Father, please, don't be so hard on Alistair.
00:55:38He only lies like this because he is so jealous of me.
00:55:43I'm sorry.
00:55:49Grandpa, please, don't be so jealous.
00:55:53I'll chat it, chat it.
00:55:55Mother.
00:55:57Father.
00:55:59Dorian's place, don't just tell.
00:56:02My hidden magic will reset your broken bones, but it will be painful.
00:56:10The pain of Emerus setting my bones back into place was great, but nothing compared to
00:56:14the pain of how my family treats me.
00:56:19You have done so much for the Quints.
00:56:21And still your family leaves you on the ground like trash.
00:56:25It's true that I love my family even though they treat me so poorly.
00:56:27But they once loved me too, and I can never forget that.
00:56:30It doesn't matter.
00:56:32I'll soon be gone from this place forever.
00:56:34Gone?
00:56:34Gone? Gone to where?
00:56:36My sister's heard my secret plan.
00:56:38I've been caught.
00:56:39What have you been hiding from us?
00:56:43I intend to take a job that's far away from here.
00:56:45Why wait?
00:56:47Why not leave now?
00:56:49Sister, please.
00:56:51Alistair is clearly lost and lashing out.
00:56:53Do you expect us to beg you to stay?
00:56:55After everything you've done?
00:56:57Kaia.
00:56:58Enough.
00:56:59How could you?
00:57:01A job?
00:57:02If you wanted attention, this is a pathetic way to get it.
00:57:07I spent my entire life wanting a son.
00:57:10Or they're just someone whose family wouldn't miss them if they were gone.
00:57:13I wondered if my family was about to guess that it was me if I had given away too much.
00:57:17But then I realized that they wouldn't believe me even if I told them.
00:57:20I hate that my injuries prevent me from sacrificing myself.
00:57:23I know that I would have done it easily if I weren't so crippled.
00:57:26Don't be modest, Dorian.
00:57:27You have exhibited bravery in the face of injury.
00:57:30I know that the volunteer, whoever they are, would be impressed with you.
00:57:35You think that's funny?
00:57:37What's so funny about...
00:57:44How can you do this, Alistair?
00:57:46Working with hands that aren't even healed.
00:57:48And for people who despise you, no matter what you do.
00:57:51I will be gone in two days' time.
00:57:53And I will never forgive myself if I leave without curing Elaine's blindness.
00:57:57I promised her.
00:57:59Elaine dreams of seeing the sky and garden again.
00:58:02And I want her to have it.
00:58:04Even if she hates me.
00:58:07What are you doing here?
00:58:08I came to bring Embress a menu for the banquet but didn't expect to find you.
00:58:20What is that smell?
00:58:21Cinnamon?
00:58:22Cloves?
00:58:23What possible reason could you be hoarding these?
00:58:25You don't cook.
00:58:26Are you stealing from us?
00:58:28Elaine has mistaken my potion-making for stealing.
00:58:30But I can't possibly tell her the truth.
00:58:31I can explain.
00:58:32You are hoarding us.
00:58:35What the hell is it?
00:58:36I am looking for a man named Alistair Quinn.
00:58:40Alistair?
00:58:42What could a servant of the Queen possibly want with that obnoxious filth pile?
00:58:46What has he done this time?
00:58:47The Queen's messages are only for those she addresses them to.
00:58:50They are her secrets alone.
00:58:52He's not here.
00:58:53Then I shall wait for his return.
00:58:55I wouldn't hold my breath.
00:58:56He disappears for days at a time.
00:58:59He is cruel to all of us.
00:59:00On my honor.
00:59:02Who was that outside?
00:59:04If the family discovers that Alistair is the savior of the realm, they will love him forever.
00:59:09I must ensure that no one ever learns of his secret sacrifice.
00:59:13Who was that outside?
00:59:15No one.
00:59:16Just a beggar asking for orbs.
00:59:17I sent him away with coin.
00:59:20Poor wretch.
00:59:22Now, sister, not all of us can be so lucky.
00:59:25I thank the gods every day that I am a Quinn.
00:59:33Durian, you can walk.
00:59:35Of course I can, you imbecile.
00:59:37But why?
00:59:38Why are you doing this?
00:59:40Because you took the fucking life that I should have been living!
00:59:42I am the son of a noble, not some gutter trash foundling like you.
00:59:45I deserve the very finest in life.
00:59:47I deserve the love of the Quinns.
00:59:48And you deserve to go back to the sewer you came from.
00:59:50Surely there's enough love in this great house for both of us.
00:59:53That may be true.
00:59:53But I'd still want you gone for one simple reason.
00:59:56So that is why you were stealing spices from the pantry.
00:59:59To make a poison for father's warhorse.
01:00:03Is there no end to your evil?
01:00:05My lord, please.
01:00:06It's not my fault.
01:00:07I swear it's not.
01:00:08Since I could walk, there was nothing more important to me than caring for father's horses.
01:00:19I wanted my father to be proud of me.
01:00:22To see how well I treated the horses that he loved.
01:00:42Today, you both awaken your dragon power.
01:00:45For the Hales, that's everything.
01:00:48Begin!
01:00:51Father, I won't let you down.
01:01:03My god, are my eyes playing tricks?
01:01:05Level 8!
01:01:06Moonlight City's never seen talent like this!
01:01:08Heavens!
01:01:08The boys are prodigy!
01:01:09The Hales have got themselves a true dragon!
01:01:11No!
01:01:12Owen, your turn.
01:01:15What level do you think the little one pulls off?
01:01:17Can't be bad.
01:01:19Haleblood has never started beneath level.
01:01:21His half-brother just hit 8.
01:01:22The youngest's got to be 6, 7 at least.
01:01:25Right?
01:01:26Maybe he'll even pull off a miracle.
01:01:37Wait.
01:01:38Nothing?
01:01:40Not even a spark?
01:01:42How is that even possible?
01:01:43Unless he's not really the Patriarch's son.
01:01:45Shush!
01:01:45Say that again and you're dead.
01:01:46Again!
01:01:48Again!
01:02:14Your father sent you here.
01:02:16The Dragon's Hollow.
01:02:18You'll awaken your power or it'll kill you.
01:02:35Boy!
01:02:37But lad, Blesseda dragon god's mark at such a young age is unheard of.
01:02:42It shows you a full level above dragon power.
01:02:54Ha! This kid's a fighter
01:03:04Kid's getting stronger by the day, can barely hold him off
01:03:07If he sees me bleeding, I'm finished
01:03:09Some Sanctuary Master I'd be, defeated by my own pupil
01:03:28You have a letter from home, take a look
01:03:32Father's own hand, he remembers me after all, he wants me home
01:03:38My worthless son home again, will he really block Ellis's from ill fortune?
01:03:43Make my heir a Dragon Knight? Of course
01:03:50Clan Leader, the young master sent word back saying he survived the Dragon's Hollow and even taken a master
01:04:01Trade one failure for a Dragon Knight, now that's a bargain
01:04:11Time to leave the Dragon's Hollow, build some character, earn some scars
01:04:14Moonlight City selection is starting, go enter it
01:04:17One more thing, that gold mark of yours, don't call on it, not unless you're dying, hear me?
01:04:22Understood Master
01:04:33Wait for me
01:04:44Let him go
01:04:45Those two joined at the heap
01:04:47Silas, your pupil went from powerless nobody to nearly your equal in just ten years
01:04:51Six rings of the Dragon God's mark
01:04:53Only a Sanctuary Master's ever awoken that mark
01:04:56He'll be the next Sanctuary Master, no question
01:04:58Lucky he's stuck at six rings, one more my title's his, terrifying that talent
01:05:03You're not getting any younger, he's catching up
01:05:06This is embarrassing
01:05:21Sanctuary Master, the boys from Moonlight City, their selection's starting
01:05:25Send someone to run it
01:05:26My disciple will pass the selection, genius or not, he'll walk the path like everyone else
01:05:31Yes, Sanctuary Master
01:06:06Look, a Dragon Knight, a real one
01:06:09A Dragon Knight, here, for the selection
01:06:13If only I could be a Dragon Knight
01:06:15Moonlight City ahead, the future Sanctuary Master's in there somewhere
01:06:19Ferris, Moonlight City selection is under your authority
01:06:21One more thing, the Hale Patriarch's son is my only disciple, the next Sanctuary Master
01:06:27Get him in, whatever it takes, don't disappoint me
01:06:30As you command
01:06:39Ellis, you're being honored by a Dragon Knight himself
01:06:42Looks like you've already won their approval
01:06:46Don't worry father, I'll be selected
01:06:47I'll become a Dragon Knight, the Hale family will become the greatest family of Moonlight City
01:06:51Good, good, that's my boy, the Surstair called it
01:06:54Call Owen home, and the luck rolls in
01:06:56The Hales, soon to be the greatest family in Moonlight City
01:06:59We'll all ride on Ellis' name
01:07:04Father
01:07:08Back, huh? Stand over there
01:07:17Lord Ferris, here in person, to meet Ellis
01:07:20Finally, a real Dragon Knight in this family
01:07:32Lord Ferris came himself
01:07:33He must approve of you already
01:07:35I've had the finest armor, finest blade, all prepared
01:07:38Tomorrow, hold nothing back
01:07:40Show this city what a Hale air's worth
01:07:42Don't worry father
01:07:44I'll make you proud
01:07:47Oh, my little brother Owen's back
01:07:49So after all those years in Dragon's Hollow, did you learn anything worth mentioning?
01:07:54I sent him up there to get him out of my hair, that's all
01:07:56What could a backwards herit possibly know about power?
01:07:59Look at you, filthy, ragged, nothing like a Hale air
01:08:04Once your brother's a knight, you can be his squire
01:08:06You should consider it an honor
01:08:08Father, I entered the selection too
01:08:10Let me prove it, I'm not less than him
01:08:15Look, not to crush your spirit, kid, but geniuses claw over each other for this
01:08:19Every single year, only one will be selected to become a Dragon Knight
01:08:23You really think you can best your brother?
01:08:26Delusional
01:08:28Dragging that trash dragon along too
01:08:38Not trash
01:08:39It's my partner, my brother
01:08:53Go then, I won't stop you
01:08:55Embarrass the Hales out there though and you're no son of mine
01:09:00And keep that mutt out of sight
01:09:02Your brother's about to bond with a real dragon
01:09:05When people see your lizard next to his
01:09:07They'll laugh us out of the city
01:09:13Watch from the stands tomorrow, brother
01:09:16See how a real Hale air becomes a Dragon Knight
01:09:20As for you
01:09:35I will be able to get out of sight
01:09:36Dragon Marshal Nemo made it clear
01:09:37The Sanctuary Master's disciple is from the Hale family
01:09:41My future master
01:09:43Better mind my manners
01:09:46Look, it's Ellis Hale
01:09:47Heard a Dragon Knight paid the Hales a personal visit yesterday
01:09:50Selection hasn't even started and Ellis is already halfway in the door
01:09:53God, just comparing myself to him hurts
01:09:55Everyone, today's selection will be splitted in press
01:09:59Round one
01:10:01The Dragon's Pressure
01:10:02Dragon Marshal, Lord Ferris's mount unleashes its power
01:10:05If you are swept away by its presence, you fail
01:10:07Stay on your feet, you advance
01:10:21Can't take a little pressure
01:10:22You'll never bond a dragon
01:10:24Never become a Dragon Knight
01:10:50This armor cost father of fortune
01:10:52I mage enchantments to fence off the roots. This pressure means nothing.
01:10:55Not bad. Standing firm under Blaze's full pressure. Exceptional. That's the future Sanctuary Master for you.
01:11:06This dragon's huge, but way weaker than Master's. I feel nothing, honestly.
01:11:14Pressure's probably faded by the time it reached that corner.
01:11:17My worthless half-brother sneaking through on a cheap trick. An embarrassment to the Hale name.
01:11:27Wait, isn't that Owen Howe? Why is he still on his feet? Standing.
01:11:30Look where. Cramped in the corner. Pressure probably never touched him.
01:11:33He snuck into round two. Shameless. How'd the Hales end up with that?
01:11:39This isn't fair. He stood so far back. Nevelder Thing. That's cheating.
01:11:47Dragging a trash pet dragon with him into the selection?
01:11:50Whoever's kid that is should be embarrassed of themselves.
01:11:52The Hales, I think. How'd the Hales end up with a son like that?
01:11:54Sneaking through like that. Humiliates the Hale name, that's for sure.
01:11:59Come now, Ellis. This is the brother. Spent a decade training in the mountains all just to cheat his way
01:12:03to victory.
01:12:04He's a master at it, then. Sneaking past a great dragon's pressure like a rat.
01:12:08The Hale family sent sons. The Sanctuary Master's disciple must be remarkable. Outstanding.
01:12:16It must be Ellis, then. He looks fit to lead the Sanctuary.
01:12:20Round two. Combat trials. Simple rules.
01:12:25Draw lots. Pair off. Fight. Win advance. Lose. You're out. Show us what you've got.
01:12:42Number three. Whoever draws you is knocked out for sure.
01:12:45Doesn't matter who. Ellis Hale wins. Easy.
01:12:49Match three. Ellis Hale versus Owen Hale.
01:12:53The Hale brothers drawn against each other? Rough luck.
01:12:55Rough for who? It's bad for Owen. For Ellis, though? Free pass to round three.
01:12:59You're right. Ellis is through for sure.
01:13:01Interesting. Sorry, brother. You walked right into my hands. Don't expect me to show mercy.
01:13:07Sothacer spoke true. Owen's return will bless Ellis. He was never any match for his brother.
01:13:13Go. Make that disgrace forfeit the second he's up there. Don't let Ellis waste his strength on him.
01:13:22Owen. The family head says forfeit now.
01:13:25Don't waste your brother's strength. Forfeit. Not a chance.
01:13:38How dare you! That's an order from your father!
01:13:41Father wants a forfeit. Let Ellis bow out. I won't.
01:13:45You! Defying your own father!
01:13:49You will regret this!
01:13:51You will regret this!
01:13:58The Sanctuary Master's disciple, no doubt. Majestic.
01:14:01Facing off with the family, rejecting his pet lizard.
01:14:04Maybe Blaze's power has a blind squat. Lucky break, that's all.
01:14:11Forfeit now, brother. There's still time.
01:14:14Blades don't stop for familial bonds.
01:14:17Ellis, he was always such a gentle.
01:14:19He is. Shame his half-brother doesn't know a gift when he sees one.
01:14:32That pet of yours.
01:14:34Cute.
01:14:36None of your business.
01:14:38Round two. Match three.
01:14:40Begin!
01:14:44You animal!
01:14:46Kneel!
01:14:47Owen!
01:14:48What do you think you're doing?
01:14:49The food in your belly.
01:14:50The clothes off your back. All from me.
01:14:52Ignoring my orders?
01:14:54Raising a fist against your own brother?
01:14:56Your brother's the Hale Air.
01:14:58Moonlight City's genius.
01:14:59Level eight, just five years old.
01:15:00Earned a silver badge at sixteen.
01:15:02And you?
01:15:02Your mother died because of you.
01:15:04Now you want me dead too?
01:15:08A curse on this family.
01:15:10I said all those years ago a baby that killed its mother would spell certain death for its father.
01:15:15Wasn't I right?
01:15:16Such a fine woman, his mother.
01:15:17How'd she give birth to this disgrace?
01:15:20His mother died of shame, I'm telling you!
01:15:22Hayes, calm down.
01:15:24That brat's not worth it.
01:15:25He's just riding Ellis' name for attention.
01:15:28Indulge his tantrum and he'll only get worse.
01:15:30Actions speak louder than words.
01:15:32Call the city guard.
01:15:33Give him a few dozen lashes, he'll fall in line.
01:15:40I just wanted to prove I'm not less than anyone.
01:15:51That's the future Sanctuary Master's father.
01:15:53What am I supposed to say?
01:15:55Watch that tone.
01:15:56I'm your old man and this is how you talk to me?
01:16:00You are worse than an animal.
01:16:01You're an arrogant, conceited guy!
01:16:07Have you ever treated me as your son?
01:16:09You've been very clear.
01:16:11I'm worth less than a hair on Ellis' head to you.
01:16:13At least you throw your hunting dogs a bone.
01:16:15What did I ever get?
01:16:16What kind of father acts the way you do?
01:16:18You?
01:16:19Fine!
01:16:20Fine!
01:16:21Touch one hair on your brother's head, you're done with the Hales!
01:16:24Forever!
01:16:24No son of mine, no name, no family, no roots!
01:16:27You'll be nothing but a stray raised by some nobody in the woods!
01:16:30A stray!
01:16:31A stray dog!
01:16:32The Hales raised a stray dog!
01:16:36So that's why he wouldn't leave the platform.
01:16:38One last grab at glory?
01:16:39Shame.
01:16:39He's about to lose it all instead.
01:16:41Hayes, you want to kick him out?
01:16:42Send him my way!
01:16:43I need a guard dog and he's built for it!
01:16:48Everyone, hear me out.
01:16:50Owen's been troubled since he was a boy, but he's still hail blood.
01:16:54He only wants to prove himself.
01:16:56I understand that, as his brother.
01:16:59Listen to that!
01:17:00That's the bearing of a great house!
01:17:02Ellis!
01:17:02Generous to a fault!
01:17:04Destined for greatness!
01:17:06Here's the deal, brother.
01:17:08Walk off this stage, grovel to father, I'll speak for you.
01:17:11Play smart, and this ends easy.
01:17:13Embarrass me, and you're gone for good.
01:17:15There are worse things than death.
01:17:17No one will mourn a stray dog.
01:17:19Then from this moment on, I'll renounce the hail name!
01:17:25Won't listen, will you?
01:17:26Don't blame me, then.
01:17:27Let me show you real despair.
01:17:29Let me show you the dragon Lord Ferris gave me.
01:17:31Chose this dragon myself for the future Sanctuary Master.
01:17:36Maximizes his power right where he's at.
01:17:38Lord Ferris, preparing a dragon for Ellis!
01:17:42The Hales have a dragon knight!
01:17:44A real one!
01:17:47Heaven's a dragon before he's even a knight, Ellis!
01:17:49Born lucky!
01:17:50I'm jealous!
01:17:51Wish a dragon knight thought that much of me!
01:17:57Come forth!
01:17:58Cheek dragon!
01:18:12Heavens!
01:18:12A real dragon!
01:18:13Ellis Hale already has his own dragon!
01:18:15Just crown him dragon knight and be done with it!
01:18:17The Hale ancestors must be grinning from their graves!
01:18:26The Jade Dragon!
01:18:27Full-grown!
01:18:28Chose it myself for the future Sanctuary Master, Ellis Hale!
01:18:31Docile!
01:18:31Easy to tame!
01:18:32Perfect first bot!
01:18:33Not top-tier, sure!
01:18:35But for a knight who'd set foot in the Sanctuary, a gift beyond his imagination, I'm sure!
01:18:38Now that's the spectacle the future Sanctuary Master deserves!
01:18:43As for that one over there...
01:18:45Once Ellis is in the Sanctuary, I'll be his most trusted man.
01:18:49That's it, Ellis!
01:18:51Beat that ungradle track senseless!
01:18:53Slow, Ellis!
01:18:54Slow that failure!
01:18:54What real talent looks like!
01:18:58Come, worthless brother!
01:19:00Let this whole city see the gap between us!
01:19:05Failure!
01:19:06Cast out by your own family!
01:19:09Neil!
01:19:14I'm not a failure!
01:19:16I'm Owen!
01:19:18My mother was Liz Manta!
01:19:20I'm her son!
01:19:22Neil!
01:19:41Together!
01:19:44Together!
01:19:56No!
01:19:57Ellis in danger!
01:20:07Can't take one hit!
01:20:09All that flashy showmanship, and for what?
01:20:11To think I almost believed it was a real golden dragon!
01:20:13It's alright.
01:20:14Rest.
01:20:15I've got you.
01:20:16I'll keep you safe.
01:20:18It's the legendary golden dragon staff!
01:20:20The stuff of legend!
01:20:21One of the Sanctuary's three sacred relics, forged by the last Sanctuary.
01:20:25But...
01:20:25Everyone saw it!
01:20:27Of course it's real!
01:20:28I am a gold-level werewolf.
01:20:30I can see his power at a glance.
01:20:33Unless...
01:20:33Do you think his level is beyond me?
01:20:39I'd wager he shattered the stone using some dirty trick.
01:20:42I hereby declare...
01:20:43He is disqualified from the competition!
01:20:46The pack tournament is sacred.
01:20:49We will not allow a fraud to taint the prestige of the competition.
01:20:53Allow me the dress.
01:20:54Allow me the Master's Disciple.
01:20:56All dragon knights live to serve you, the future Sanctuary Master.
01:21:01The Sanctuary Master's Disciple?
01:21:04He thinks that's me?
01:21:05What is he...
01:21:06But...
01:21:07I don't even know the Sanctuary Master's name.
01:21:09When did I take a Master?
01:21:10Unless...
01:21:11Impossible.
01:21:12It can't be him.
01:21:13He's a total failure.
01:21:14Spent a decade training with some old backwards hermit.
01:21:17No way he was with the Sanctuary Master.
01:21:19This is...
01:21:21Rise, Lord Ferris.
01:21:23My Master's always kept a low profile.
01:21:25Commanded me to hide my identity.
01:21:27But you've seen through it.
01:21:29No sense hiding it now.
01:21:33Ellis!
01:21:34You...
01:21:34You're the Sanctuary Master's Disciple?
01:21:37Since when?
01:21:38Why didn't you say something?
01:21:42Forgive me, Father.
01:21:43My Master forbade it until I formally entered the Sanctuary.
01:21:46Meant to tell you...
01:21:47Good!
01:21:48Good!
01:21:48My boy!
01:21:49All those years not wasted after all.
01:21:51From now on, the Hales are proud of you.
01:21:53If your mother could see this...
01:21:55Don't worry, Father.
01:21:57I won't disappoint you.
01:22:08See this?
01:22:09This is the gap between us.
01:22:11Everything you'd kill for.
01:22:12Everything you fight tooth and nail for.
01:22:14It just...
01:22:21I know what you're thinking.
01:22:22Why would a Dragon Knight bother with someone like you?
01:22:25Simple.
01:22:26Nothing touches the Sanctuary's future Master.
01:22:28Not a scratch.
01:22:29That strike carried Killing Intaint.
01:22:32If you weren't his brother, that blow would have done far worse.
01:22:34Killing Intaint?
01:22:35This is our fight on the trial platform.
01:22:37Why wouldn't there, mate?
01:22:39Just...
01:22:40Raising your blade at the future Sanctuary Master.
01:22:43Brother.
01:22:45Lord Ferris is showing mercy.
01:22:47Don't be a fool about it.
01:22:50Kneel.
01:22:50I kneel for my master.
01:22:52I kneel for my mother.
01:22:54No one else is worthy.
01:22:55Then you deserve death.
01:22:57I'll let you strike first.
01:22:58Push me back one step.
01:23:00I'll speak for you.
01:23:01Ask your kind brother to spare you.
01:23:04Might even let you stay on as a Sanctuary Guard.
01:23:07Come.
01:23:08A failure who dares strike the three.
01:23:11Don't strike by then.
01:23:12Don't blame me for hitting first.
01:23:14Three.
01:23:17Two.
01:23:20One.
01:23:21One.
01:23:25One.
01:23:31Two.
01:23:32Two.
01:23:32Two.
01:23:34Two.
01:23:35Two.
01:23:35Two.
01:23:35Two.
01:23:35You
