00:00:08A mortal dares stand in the way of the Black Marsh.

00:00:15In the name of Olympus, face divine wrath!

00:00:21That thunder, Zeus, you were reborn as a mortal?

00:00:26Kneel before the power of Olympus.

00:00:31You can't save them!

00:00:33The Wendog has already smelled royal blood.

00:00:37Tonight the curse will devour Orion's soul.

00:00:40The royal court will belong to him.

00:00:45That fight drained too much power.

00:00:47I can't force the thunder again anytime soon.

00:00:50Lord Ethan, your former master left this marriage block for you.

00:00:54Lady Seraphina of the Silver Deer Clan can help you reach the heart of Northern Power.

00:00:59I just came back alive from the Black Marsh and now you bring me a marriage pact?

00:01:03Get to the point. What is the Wendigo?

00:01:05The Wendigo devours souls, corrupts the royal bloodline and uses a royal body to return.

00:01:20The royal court gave you ten years. Herbs, offerings, gold, hunting grounds. I gave you everything you asked for.

00:01:28And after all this time, you still don't even know what's wrong with my father.

00:01:32Princess Alara, please show mercy! King Orion's condition is unlike anything we've ever seen. There is nothing we can do!

00:01:38Failing to cure him is not the crime. Lying to this court is.

00:01:42Orin, send the royal blood oath decree to the forest, the lake clans, the wastelands and the western tribes.

00:01:49As you command.

00:01:51Whoever saves my father will be bound to me by a royal marriage pact.

00:01:54The royal court's granaries, the northern hunting grounds, the salt mines and three fur trade routes will all be his.

00:02:00Princess Alara, once that decree goes out, every clan will come for you.

00:02:04Then let them come. If my father wakes, I will stake the entire royal court on it.

00:02:10The black marsh spirit is dead, but the curse remains. Someone here brought the Wendigo in.

00:02:16Orin, whatever it takes. Find someone who can save my father.

00:02:20Princess Lyra, the blood oath decree has already gone out.

00:02:25Hold on.

00:02:28Stranger, who are you?

00:02:29Ethan, a forest healer.

00:02:31The royal court needs someone who can save the king, not a wandering healer selling tricks at the gate.

00:02:37Ten years ago, your father collapsed once, at the black marsh border.

00:02:43Since then, every new moon and full moon, he falls into a coma.

00:02:47Tonight, once the moon rises, the Wendog curse will eat through his life force.

00:02:51How do you know that?

00:02:53Because this is not an illness. It is the Wendog's curse.

00:02:58One step too late, and the man you're trying to save won't be a king. He'll be a corpse.

00:03:06You're saying my father is cursed?

00:03:09The black marsh Wendigo feeds on souls. The king has no wound on his body, but his soul is being

00:03:16eaten piece by piece.

00:03:17For ten years, the royal court has called healers from every land, and none of them dared make that claim.

00:03:23Why should we believe a stranger with a bag of herbs?

00:03:26Because I just came back from the black marsh.

00:03:29These coins are enough to get you out of the borderlands. If you're just trying to survive, go now, and

00:03:34I'll pretend we never met.

00:03:38You're kind, but kindness won't save you.

00:03:41What is that supposed to mean?

00:03:42Every month, the pain comes back. Around the full moon, it burns so badly you can barely breathe.

00:03:48Princess?

00:03:49You and your father carry the same black marsh curse. You're young, so you can still endure it.

00:03:53King Oron won't last past her moonrise.

00:03:55Can you really save him?

00:03:56Yes.

00:03:59Fine. I'll take you in. If you remember this, you lie to me and my sister will make sure you

00:04:03die inside the royal court.

00:04:06Lead the way.

00:04:11Father, when you led the northern clans into the black marsh, everyone lowered their heads at the sound of Ash's

00:04:17war horn.

00:04:18Now every enemy is watching the royal court. If you don't wake up, I'll have no choice but to offer

00:04:23myself through the royal blood oath decree.

00:04:26I'm not afraid of marrying a stranger. I'm afraid you'll never wake up.

00:04:37Princess Alara, we can cure King Orion.

00:04:45Princess Alara, don't lose hope. I can save King Orion.

00:04:51I am Selona, High Healer of Bonecraft. At your service, Princess Alara.

00:04:56This is Mira, a master of sacred runes, and Rowan, a spirit curse healer.

00:05:02Welcome, healers.

00:05:04We came in responses to the royal blood oath decree.

00:05:08Princess Alara, if we wake King Orion, will we truly receive the granaries, the northern hunting grounds, the salt mines,

00:05:14and the fur trade routes?

00:05:15I do not break my word.

00:05:18Then you have nothing to fear, Princess.

00:05:20With me here, the King will wake.

00:05:23Then I place my father's life in your hands.

00:05:26I've heard Mira never needs more than three runes. Let's see if that legend holds.

00:05:31The more runes I can bear, the stronger the healing I can channel.

00:05:35An ordinary patient needs one. A gravely wounded royal needs three at most.

00:05:40The runes show the King's body is unharmed.

00:05:45But his life force is almost gone.

00:05:48I have practiced healing for decades. I've never seen a condition like this.

00:05:53Mira, I gave you the first chance, and you wasted it. Step aside.

00:05:59Three breaths. That is all I need to wake the King.

00:06:02Then please begin. My father's life depends on you.

00:06:09His breathing is steady, but the life inside him is nearly gone.

00:06:15Even my bone healing arts cannot wake him.

00:06:20Forgive me, Princess Alara.

00:06:22Even the High Healer of Bonecraft can do nothing?

00:06:24Princess Alara, don't lose hope yet.

00:06:27They may not see the answer.

00:06:31I still can.

00:06:37I can bring the King back from the edge of death.

00:06:40This is my clan's strongest curse pearl.

00:06:44If King Orion has even one breath left, I can pull him back.

00:06:53Stop it.

00:06:59You dare interrupt the King's healer? Do you have any idea where you are?

00:07:04Sister, his name is Ethan.

00:07:06He said he can cure father.

00:07:08So I brought him in to try.

00:07:10This is not a village market.

00:07:12A wandering healer has no place near the King's bed.

00:07:15A forest healer in a ragged cloak thinks he can decide King Orion's faith?

00:07:19Sister, I didn't believe him at first either.

00:07:21But the moment he saw me, he knew about the pain I've been hiding.

00:07:24He isn't an ordinary healer.

00:07:26He understands healing arts and he can see curse energy.

00:07:29Father won't survive until nightfall.

00:07:31I can't just stand here and wait for the ancestors to take him.

00:07:35Princess Alara, three healers from the sacred altar are standing right here.

00:07:38Bringing in an outsider is not seeking help.

00:07:41It is, is an insult.

00:07:42He doesn't even carry a complete sacred mark.

00:07:45A man like that can't summon sacred light.

00:07:47You checked his breathing.

00:07:50But you missed the real curse.

00:07:52Your light can heal flesh.

00:07:53It can't reach a soul that has already been hollowed out.

00:07:59The royal court would rather trust a stranger from the forest.

00:08:03Then we have no reason to accept this royal blood oath decree.

00:08:05Rowan, please stay.

00:08:07Your name has reached the west bank and even the north.

00:08:11I believe you can wake my father.

00:08:13As for him...

00:08:15Remove this man from the king's chamber.

00:08:18Guards! Take him out of the royal court!

00:08:23Sister!

00:08:24They can't hurt me.

00:08:26If Princess Alara refuses to listen, I'll leave.

00:08:29But after I'm gone, King Orion will not survive tonight's moonrise.

00:08:35When that happens, not even the gods above will be able to pull his soul back!

00:08:39Trying to scare us with old ancestor tales now?

00:08:42I doubt you can even say what illness King Orion has.

00:08:46Of course I can't.

00:08:47Because King Orion is not sick at all.

00:08:53King Orion has been unconscious on that bed, and you claim he isn't sick?

00:08:57Lying in front of a king takes nerve.

00:08:59You're just a wandering healer trying to make your name through the royal decree.

00:09:05Ethan!

00:09:07If you can save father, prove it now.

00:09:10If my sister's oath is not enough, I am willing to join the same marriage pact with you.

00:09:15So that's it.

00:09:17You came for the marriage pact and the royal court's lands.

00:09:20With the three of us here today, we'll expose him for what he is.

00:09:24And show the royal court that healing arts are not something anyone can fake.

00:09:27I thought you simply couldn't break the curse.

00:09:30I didn't realize you couldn't even see it.

00:09:33He is under the ancient Wendigo curse.

00:09:35The Wendo curse? What is that?

00:09:37An ancient evil spirit from the depths of the Black Marsh.

00:09:40It feeds on souls, fear, greed, and the blood of kings.

00:09:46At first, the cursed person sleeps, fears the cold, and dreams of black antlers.

00:09:50Then the soul is eaten away piece by piece.

00:09:53Once the soul is gone, he may never truly wake again.

00:09:56The Wendall will wear the king's body and sit on his throne.

00:09:59Then the border royal court will fall into chaos.

00:10:02Every clan will turn on the others.

00:10:04Impossible.

00:10:05You expect the Ash Court to believe that story just because you said it?

00:10:09Princess Alara, remove him at once.

00:10:11The royal decreed and the honor of the Ash Court cannot be dragged down by some wandering fraud.

00:10:17But... father's symptoms match everything he said.

00:10:23Ethan, please save my father!

00:10:26Don't touch him yet.

00:10:27According to the old altar scrolls, the Wendig curse is forbidden magic from the deepest part of the Black Marsh.

00:10:34But that curse was sealed inside the Black Marsh 50 years ago by the northern clans.

00:10:39It should not exist anymore. How would a forest healer know about it?

00:10:42Princess Alara, I suspect he was sent by the Black Marsh.

00:10:45He may be the one who brought this curse into the royal court.

00:10:48A fraud like him should be hanged!

00:10:50Ethan, who are you really?

00:10:52Princess Alara, trust me and I will save the king.

00:10:56Refuse me and I walk out of the royal court.

00:10:58Sister, if he were with the Black Marsh he would not have stopped Rowan's cursed pearl.

00:11:02The three healers have no answer.

00:11:04Right now he is our only chance.

00:11:07If Princess Alara trusts a fraud, the royal court may pay the price for it.

00:11:12But, in ten years no one has ever named my father's symptoms this clearly.

00:11:18Ethan, I'll give you one chance.

00:11:21For Princess Lyra's trust, I will save King Orion.

00:11:27This room is not safe for removing the curse.

00:11:29If you want him saved, Princess Alara must come with me to the royal bedroom.

00:11:36I knew it!

00:11:37You were never here to save the king.

00:11:39You had your eyes on the princess from the start.

00:11:42I have trained at the sacred altar for years.

00:11:44I have never heard of a cure that must be performed away from everyone else.

00:11:48Princess Alara, he's using the king's illness as an excuse to get close to you.

00:11:51To draw the wendigo out, I need someone from his bloodline.

00:11:54When royal blood is near, the curse will leave King Orion.

00:11:56If anyone interferes, the curse will panic and panic finish consuming what's left of the king's soul.

00:12:02Absurd!

00:12:06You lying fraud!

00:12:07I'll expose you right now!

00:12:11Not bad for curse work.

00:12:14Too bad you're not strong enough.

00:12:16Ethan, I'm father's daughter too.

00:12:18Can my bloodline draw the curse out?

00:12:20Yes.

00:12:21Sister, let me go.

00:12:23As long as father wakes, I'll accept any punishment, even if I'm dragged through the streets in chains.

00:12:28You're not going.

00:12:29Sister!

00:12:30I am your older sister and I am the one holding this court together.

00:12:33It should be me.

00:12:35Oren, take six ironclad knights and guard the door.

00:12:38If anything happens to me, seize Ethan immediately.

00:12:40As you command.

00:12:41If I don't come out, you take control of Ash Royal Court.

00:12:44Put your hands where they don't belong and I'll kill you before I go to my father.

00:12:47I only save lives.

00:12:49Take the king to the royal bedroom.

00:12:51We begin before moonrise.

00:12:53Until the ritual is over, no one enters.

00:12:57If that door opens, the curse will be startled.

00:13:00King Orion will die.

00:13:02What do I do?

00:13:05Take off your robe.

00:13:07What?!

00:13:09Say that again.

00:13:10Remove the outer robe.

00:13:13Unfasten the silver bone belt.

00:13:16Ethan.

00:13:17I gave you a chance to save the king, not a chance to insult my family.

00:13:24The Wendigo follows royal blood.

00:13:26That is how we draw it out.

00:13:28The more you are covered, the harder it is for the curse to sense your bloodline.

00:13:32It won't come out.

00:13:34Every word you say had better be true.

00:13:48See that?

00:13:52Is that enough?

00:13:54Not yet.

00:13:55Move closer to the fire.

00:14:02It senses you.

00:14:05Then let it come out.

00:14:06My body still can't withstand the thunder.

00:14:10But divine light shall be enough.

00:14:12If it hurts, make a sound.

00:14:16Save the advice.

00:14:17Blood of the crown, draw it out.

00:14:21Soul flame, hold it here.

00:14:25It's looking at me.

00:14:26Don't let it reach your eyes.

00:14:29Leave her!

00:14:31Ethan!

00:14:33Hurry!

00:14:35Come out!

00:14:45Princess Lyra.

00:14:47Princess Alara is locked inside the royal bedroom with an outsider.

00:14:50Are you truly not worried?

00:14:53My sister gave her order.

00:14:55Until the ritual ends, no one enters.

00:14:58Princess Alara is the current ruler of the royal court.

00:15:00If anything happens to her, Ash royal court will fall apart.

00:15:04Princess Lyra.

00:15:05Aren't you afraid he'll take advantage of your sister?

00:15:08My sister trusts him.

00:15:10So do I.

00:15:15Sister!

00:15:16Princess Lyra, did you hear that?

00:15:18That outsider may be hurting Princess Alara.

00:15:20The royal family can still save its honor.

00:15:23Stop him now before it is too late.

00:15:25If you keep waiting, the entire Ash royal court will regret it.

00:15:29Until the ritual is over, no one enters.

00:15:33My sister said no one enters before the ritual ends.

00:15:35I trust my sister. No one can force her into anything.

00:15:41Sister?

00:15:41You heard that!

00:15:42That does not sound like healing.

00:15:45The High Princess's bedchamber is no place for a filthy peasant to satisfy his sick desires.

00:15:51If you don't go in now, it will be too late.

00:15:56Don't let it reach your eyes!

00:15:59Eyes?

00:16:00Princess Lyra, Princess Alara may already be in danger.

00:16:04Without Princess Alarsa's order, the door stays closed.

00:16:09If I don't come out, you take control of Ash royal court.

00:16:13Oren.

00:16:14Princess Lyra.

00:16:16Open the door.

00:16:17But Princess Alara said...

00:16:18I am in command of the Ash court now.

00:16:22Open it.

00:16:27Stand back!

00:16:28Stand back!

00:16:41Sister!

00:16:43Careful!

00:16:44Come out!

00:16:48Sorry.

00:16:49Look at me.

00:16:50Don't look at it.

00:17:09Take your hands off me!

00:17:13The ancient Wendigo curse has truly returned.

00:17:17The Black Marsh��ed seal could not have broken on its own.

00:17:19Someone inside the royal court has left the for instance, herщиты-

00:20:28but i never thought they would dare curse me under my own roof

00:20:32then it is time we settle the score

00:20:35wait

00:20:35what is it

00:20:37ethan said he has an ancient marriage pact with lady seraphina of the silver stag clan

00:20:40but tonight the silver stag clan's marriage pact is with cassian heir of the black raven clan

00:20:47don't panic

00:20:48the black raven clan may have brought trouble on itself this time

00:20:52father why do you say that

00:20:53a hundred years ago the black marsh curse was burned away by the thunder of the old gods

00:20:59few people now even know of the wendigo curse let alone how to break it

00:21:02but ethan young as he is

00:21:05saw the curse and pulled my soul back from the black marsh

00:21:09he carries ancient thunder power

00:21:11ancient thunder he really isn't an ordinary forest healer

00:21:14behind him there may be a god

00:21:17if the silver stag clan truly holds his old marriage pact

00:21:20then they have a blessing they may never deserve

00:21:22the silver stag clan has grown weak over the years

00:21:25all they know is how to bow to stronger clans

00:21:28the black raven clan controls the northern trade roads and iron mines

00:21:32they have grown so arrogant they have forgotten the ash court

00:21:34the silver stag clan will reject ethan when he arrives

00:21:38i'll go help him

00:21:47the silver stag clan finally bet the nay

00:21:49marrying into the black raven clan is seraphina's good fortune

00:21:52i heard she already had an old marriage pact

00:21:54a pact from years ago that won't stop the black raven clan

00:22:15the silver dear chieftains are here

00:22:21i heard seraphina made an old marriage pact years ago

00:22:24then why is she entering a marriage alliance with the black raven clan tonight

00:22:28the black raven clan controls the northern iron mines and trade roads

00:22:32who would dare refuse them for a small clan tying themselves to black raven is an opportunity others would kill

00:22:37for

00:22:41my daughter seraphina was indeed saved by an outsider years ago

00:22:45and the old chief of silver stag clan did arrange an old marriage pact for her

00:22:48but the man who swore that oath is long dead

00:22:50as chief of the silver stag clan i will not allow anyone to use an old pact to trade on

00:22:54our name

00:22:54the silver stag clan is using black raven to survive while abandoning an old oath

00:22:59everyone should look carefully at whose banner hangs here before speaking

00:23:03the silver stag clan cannot afford black raven's wrath and neither can any of you

00:23:07if that forest haemer does not show up

00:23:09the old oath can still keep what little dignity it has left

00:23:13if he dares come black raven will crush him into the mud

00:23:18who said they would crush me into the mud

00:23:24who are you

00:23:25my name is ethan i have come to fulfill my marriage pact with seraphina

00:23:31i didn't think you would actually dare come

00:23:34a wandering healer from the black marsh border really thinks he can enter a marriage pact with seraphina

00:23:38even a mud-soaked nobody thinks he can look up at a silver gare now

00:23:43but ethan since you came i'll make this clear

00:23:47your old marriage pact with seraphina is void

00:23:49i aldric declare it

00:23:51do you know the old silver stag chief begged for this pact before the ancestral altar

00:23:55the silver stag clan is no longer what it was 16 years ago

00:24:00today the silver stag clan has tied itself to black raven

00:24:03what are you a wandering healer compared to that

00:24:05our seraphina is going to marry cassian heir of the black raven clan

00:24:09and you some border healer with a medicine bag think you can cling to her with an old pack

00:24:13look at yourself

00:24:14mud blood and poverty all over you

00:24:20so the stray dog found a bigger kennel

00:24:22no wonder it barks so loudly

00:24:27ethan i'm warning you

00:24:29don't push this too far

00:24:31you are just holding an old pact someone handed you trying to force your way into the silver stock clan

00:24:38the silver stock clan does not want to humiliate you completely

00:24:42take these coins and crawl back to the black marsh border

00:24:46ethan someone shoved that old plot into your hands

00:24:48that does not mean seraphina must marry you

00:24:51the old chief who made that oath is dead

00:24:54the silver stock clan now answers to aldric

00:24:56you clearly don't understand

00:24:58this pact carries a blood oath sworn before the ancestors and the old gods

00:25:02break it and thunder will answer

00:25:04the silver star clan will pay in blood

00:25:08thunder will answer? really?

00:25:11ridiculous

00:25:11stop hiding behind old gods and dead men

00:25:14tonight this pact dies

00:25:16and we can afford the price

00:25:18does lady seraphina think the same?

00:25:31yes

00:25:33no

00:25:36ethan

00:25:37you should not have come today

00:25:41lady seraphina

00:25:42you also think i came here to use the silver stag name?

00:25:46what else would it be?

00:25:50the silver stag clan is returning to power

00:25:53now we are forming a marriage alliance with the black raven clan

00:25:56you came dragging out an old pact from years ago

00:25:58because you want to use our name

00:26:00to force your way into northern robility

00:26:02this old marriage pact exists yes

00:26:04but it was an old oath left by the former chief

00:26:06the man who swore it is dead

00:26:08now my father rules the silver stag clan

00:26:11and i have already agreed to marry cassian

00:26:13heir of the black raven clan

00:26:14he can bring the silver stag clan back into northern power

00:26:16you are nothing

00:26:17you cannot give the silver thor clan a future

00:26:19i will be the lady of black raven hope

00:26:21and you are just a wandering healer from the black marsh border

00:26:24the entire north stands between us

00:26:26i have never seen someone make betrayal sound so dignified

00:26:31ethan who do you think you are?

00:26:32you have no right to lecture the silver stag clan

00:26:35i would rather marry a dog from the stables

00:26:38than marry a man like you

00:26:41you are just a border healer from the black marsh

00:26:44and you really think the gods chose you?

00:26:46and you dream of marrying my daughter?

00:26:49wake up!

00:26:49this pact was sworn by the silver starg ancestors themselves

00:26:52i did not come today to beg for your approval

00:26:55i came to end this pact

00:26:57today i withdraw from this pact

00:26:59once i severed it

00:27:00the silver starg clan will bear the consequences

00:27:02your banner will fall

00:27:04and your bloodline will suffer

00:27:06at my daughter's wedding feast

00:27:08a border healer dares curse the silver thor clan

00:27:11guards! drag him out!

00:27:15your disaster is already here

00:27:17and you are still laughing

00:27:20ethan enough!

00:27:22he brought this on himself

00:27:33someone is causing trouble inside black raven keep?

00:27:40let's see how a border healer plans to bring disaster on the silver stag bloodline

00:27:46on this land there are nobles, vassals and gutter born trash

00:27:50the black raven clan stands at the top

00:27:52the silver thag clan is noble

00:27:55and you, a border healer from the black marsh

00:27:58think you can step into a noble wedding feast?

00:28:01do you even deserve it?

00:28:03who are you?

00:28:06Cassian of the black raven clan!

00:28:09never heard of you

00:28:11do you have a death wish?

00:28:13be smart, cancel the contract and get out of black raven heat

00:28:17otherwise, i'll skin you and hang you on the black raven gate

00:28:24a pact witnessed by ancient thunder is not yours to touch

00:28:29the divine thunder healer's old oath

00:28:31and a border healer like you thinks you can claim it?

00:28:34Cassian, who is the divine thunder healer?

00:28:39the divine thunder healer is the source of ancient healing arts

00:28:42legend says that power came from zeus, king of olympus

00:28:46they say he hides in the ruins of olympus

00:28:48he can bring souls back and decide life or death

00:28:51he can also summon thunder and cleanse black marsh curses

00:28:57in the north, that name is forbidden

00:29:04sadly, that kind of power would never fall on a border healer from the black marsh

00:29:13the divine thunder healer?

00:29:16does that power really exist?

00:29:23in this contract

00:29:24anyone who falsely invokes the divine thunder healer

00:29:26and offends the old gods of olympus will suffer divine backlash

00:29:29even a royal bloodline can wither

00:29:32their banner will fall

00:29:34if you steal thunder's name, true thunder will come to judge you

00:29:37you're making it sound more dramatic than it is

00:29:40but my healing is a little stronger than an ordinary healer's

00:29:45I was talking about the divine thunder healer

00:29:48what does that have to do with you?

00:29:50Ethan, if you don't leave now

00:29:52I really won't be able to protect you

00:29:55Serafina, the former silver stag chief

00:29:57begged for this pack at the old gods altar

00:29:59he knelt for seven days to secure it

00:30:01it was a lifeline for the silver stag clan

00:30:03and this is how you treat it?

00:30:05today

00:30:06I, Serafina

00:30:07turn my back on this old oath

00:30:13what can you do about it?

00:30:16I will be the one to break this pact

00:30:23we're destroying this worthless pact today

00:30:27what are you gonna do about it?

00:30:31the pact is broken

00:30:33Zeus' punishment begins now

00:30:39you really believe your own act, don't you?

00:30:43you think you're Zeus, Riorne?

00:30:47Zeus' punishment?

00:30:48the silver stag clan is rising with black raven

00:30:50you are the one waving around a torn old pact and scamming people

00:30:53if anyone deserves punishment, it's you

00:30:55please, you spent too much time at the black marsh border

00:30:58and now you think you can call down divine punishment?

00:31:04Ethan, open your eyes and watch closely

00:31:07from this day on, I stand under the black raven banner

00:31:11no one in the north can touch me

00:31:12even if Zeus' punishment exists, what can it do to the silver stag clan?

00:31:16Zeus' punishment has already begun

00:31:20every member of the silver stag clan carries the curse

00:31:24you're hopeless

00:31:25the silver stag hunting grounds will fall

00:31:27your clan treasury will be empty

00:31:29the salt mines, mountain roads, and fur trade routes will all be lost

00:31:38the silver stag clan is not some easy target

00:31:41who are you?

00:31:42a border healer

00:31:43to threaten me with loss

00:31:45the silver stag clan could crush you without effort

00:31:48Ethan, this is all about money, isn't it?

00:31:51there's a full bag of gold coins in here

00:31:53enough for you to live on for the rest of your life

00:31:59take the money and leave

00:32:01take the money and leave

00:32:01don't delay my wedding with Lady Serafina

00:32:05stop it

00:32:07you've seen one corner of the world and think you own the sky

00:32:11black raven clan rules the north

00:32:13if I want you dead

00:32:15no one here will dare keep you alive

00:32:17you're already at death's door

00:32:19and you're still talking

00:32:41princess alara

00:32:42princess alara

00:32:44speak

00:32:44news from black raven keep

00:32:46cassian publicly humiliated Ethan at the wedding feast

00:32:50cassian?

00:32:51the silver stag clan also tore up the old marriage bad in public

00:32:54and tried to drive Ethan out of the keep

00:32:56they dared insult Ethan?

00:32:57they must have a death wish

00:32:59to black raven holt

00:33:00now

00:33:03even with death staring you in the face you still act tough

00:33:07today, I'll teach you how the north works

00:33:17Zeus's punishment has begun

00:33:21Zeus's punishment really happened

00:33:23could he really be Zeus reborn?

00:33:26the silver stag clan offended Zeus reborn

00:33:28they're finished aren't they?

00:33:30impossible

00:33:32Zeus is the king of Olympus

00:33:34even black raven only knows his name from legend

00:33:36how could this man possibly be Zeus?

00:33:39in front of me

00:33:41the black raven clan is nothing but small men pretending to be kings

00:33:45Ethan

00:33:46what did you do to us?

00:33:49this is Zeus's punishment

00:33:50you'd better start making peace with your gods

00:33:54you're not leaving

00:33:55I'll cut you down myself

00:33:57the healer Phelan has arrived

00:34:09Ethan

00:34:09Phelan is one of the north's sacred healers

00:34:12he serves the black raven clan

00:34:14he has saved more lives than you've ever touched

00:34:16with him here your cheap tricks mean nothing

00:34:20master healer Phelan is here

00:34:21we're saved

00:34:56Ethan

00:36:46young man I admit your curse work is not bad

00:36:49too bad you chose the wrong path

00:36:57Zeus may be the legendary king of gods

00:36:59and his punishment may be feared

00:37:02but no one alive has truly seen it

00:37:04every curse can be contained

00:37:21Lord Cassian don't dirty your hands with this arrogant fool

00:37:47that border healer is finished

00:37:49what a shame, he's still young

00:37:51he chose the wrong road

00:37:52he brought this on himself

00:38:40this is impossible

00:38:43you border easer

00:38:44what did you do to me?

00:38:46Zeus' punishment cannot be reversed

00:38:48know your place

00:38:54Zeus

00:38:54is this...

00:38:55Zeus' punishment?

00:38:57you...

00:38:57you really are Zeus reborn?

00:39:05what happened to master healer felon was too strange

00:39:08was that really Zeus' punishment?

00:39:11legend says Zeus commands thunder and rules life and death

00:39:14master healer felon dared stand against Zeus

00:39:16no wonder this happened to him

00:39:20Zeus? him?

00:39:22everyone you've been fooled by his black marsh sorcery

00:39:25Zeus' punishment?

00:39:26it's a scare tactic

00:39:27that was clearly a forbidden black marsh spell

00:39:28a lost curse technique

00:39:29he is not Zeus

00:39:30he is a black marsh heretic

00:39:32that's right

00:39:33my grandfather once spoke of the black marsh calamities

00:39:35those dark arts are known for disguising themselves as divine punishment

00:39:39he used black marsh sorcery to impersonate Zeus

00:39:42the black marks on the ground are proof

00:39:44a man like this must be driven out of the north

00:39:47master healer felon served black rovan for years

00:39:50and saved countless noble bloodlines

00:39:54and today he was harmed by a black marsh heretic

00:39:57if we allow a heretic like this to run free

00:40:01today master healer felon falls

00:40:03tomorrow it could be all of you

00:40:05and your clans

00:40:09your parents

00:40:10your wives

00:40:11your children

00:40:12he'll come for all of them

00:40:15are you done?

00:40:21Zeus' punishment owes you no explanation

00:40:26cast out the black marsh heretic

00:40:28protect the north

00:40:30cast out the black marsh heretic

00:40:32protect the north

00:40:33cast out the marsh heretic

00:40:35protect the north

00:40:41i'm curious

00:40:42if this black marsh forbidden spell has been lost for years

00:40:45how did you recognize it at a glance?

00:40:47have you seen it before?

00:40:50lord cassian was right

00:40:51this black marsh heretic is panicking

00:40:53so now he's trying to pull others down with him

00:40:57he's trying to pull the black raven clan into this

00:41:00everyone stay alert

00:41:02seize this black marsh heretic

00:41:11you shouldn't do it

00:41:12insolent black marsh heretic

00:41:14you harmed my disciple

00:41:19surrender at once

00:41:23ethan

00:41:23your death has come

00:41:33Another one coming to die.

00:41:44It's Master Healer Avarius!

00:41:46Felon's master.

00:41:48Avarius is nearly a hundred years old, and his healing is beyond anything we know.

00:41:51I heard that when he was young, he even received guidance from Zeus' legacy.

00:41:55That Black Marsh heretic is dead.

00:41:57Ethan, Avarius is unmatched in healing.

00:42:00The North calls him a living saint.

00:42:01Now that he's here, you can wait to die.

00:42:04Compared with Zeus, I am only a mortal.

00:42:06The gap is beyond measure.

00:42:08Guided by Zeus' oracle, and still blind.

00:42:11Meeting you here must be fate.

00:42:12Young man, you may be gifted to master forbidden Black Marsh arts at your age,

00:42:16but you chose the wrong path.

00:42:17You harmed my disciple, impersonated Zeus, abused Black Marsh's source,

00:42:20and brought disaster to the North.

00:42:21For that, you deserve death.

00:42:22You've lived all these years, and you still can't see who is standing in front of you.

00:42:25Insolent Black Marsh heretic!

00:42:27You've lived this long.

00:42:28How is your mouth still so reckless?

00:42:30Face me in three trials.

00:42:32If you win, I'll guarantee your safe exit from Black Raven Keep today.

00:42:36Use whatever tricks you have.

00:42:38No one has ever survived even one move from Avarius.

00:42:41You're dead today.

00:42:44Good.

00:42:46Blood Mist takes shape.

00:42:48Bones of hatred rise.

00:42:50Nine shadows gather.

00:42:51Poisoned souls strike.

00:42:53Cheap tricks?

00:42:55And you dare show them to me?

00:43:03Holy seal, form the bones.

00:43:05Sacred light become chains.

00:43:07Triple lock.

00:43:08By the sacred altar, bind him.

00:43:10Boy, these are my sacred light chains.

00:43:13You're finished.

00:43:14Is that all you've got?

00:43:17Ancient wood, hear me.

00:43:18What?

00:43:18Sacred vines awaken.

00:43:19Life returns to the root.

00:43:21Earth, bind his body.

00:43:22Green vines, hold him fast.

00:43:30This is my ancient wood spell.

00:43:33Once the sacred vines bind the body, not even a beast can break free.

00:43:38Let's see how you escape this time.

00:43:51Sacred light or ancient wood.

00:43:53Before me, it all turns to dust.

00:44:00That Black Marsh heretic is brutal.

00:44:02He broke Master Healers Aurelius' ancient wood spell.

00:44:05Are you done?

00:44:07From this day on, I formally end my marriage pact with the Silverstag clan.

00:44:11From this moment on, we have nothing to do with each other.

00:44:15I am Zeus Reborn.

00:44:17If you don't believe me, go ask King Orion.

00:44:20Ethan, cursing people and pretending to be Zeus was bad enough.

00:44:23Now you dare use King Orion's name too?

00:44:25I didn't expect a border healer like you to know so much.

00:44:27Yes, King Orion did wake up today.

00:44:30But the man who saved King Orion could never be a Black Marsh heretic like you.

00:44:34Even Averius may not be able to break King Orion's Wendiglow curse.

00:44:37You?

00:44:37How could you possibly have saved King Orion?

00:44:40We should seize this Black Marsh heretic before he spreads more lies and causes more trouble inside Black Ravenholm.

00:44:46Guards!

00:44:47Take this Black Marsh heretic down.

00:44:55Let's see who dares.

00:45:00Anyone who disrespects Lord Ethan.

00:45:07Isn't that Princess Alara, eldest daughter of the Royal Court?

00:45:10I heard Ash Royal Court and the Black Raven clan have been at odds for years.

00:45:13Why would she come here?

00:45:14Princess Alara just called him Lord.

00:45:17Was he really the one who woke King Orion?

00:45:19Princess Alara, the Silverstag clan should have welcomed you properly.

00:45:22Please forgive us.

00:45:23Princess Alara, today we caught a Black Marsh heretic pretending to be Zeus reborn.

00:45:27He even claimed he saved King Orion.

00:45:29Since you're here, we'll leave him to you?

00:45:31Princess Alara, it has been a long time.

00:45:33I heard King Orion woke today.

00:45:35I haven't had time to visit and congratulate you.

00:45:37How about this?

00:45:38I'll hand this fake Black Marsh heretic over to you as a congratulatory gift.

00:45:40You say he is a Black Marsh heretic pretending to be Zeus reborn?

00:45:44Exactly.

00:45:45This Black Marsh heretic used dark sorcery and killed Felon, the Black Raven clan's personal healer.

00:45:49He also badly injured Master Healer Aurarius, Felon's master.

00:45:52Everyone here witnessed it.

00:45:53I, Cassian, swear I'm telling the truth.

00:45:55Princess Alara, this man is a Black Marsh heretic.

00:45:58Please decide what should be done with him.

00:46:00Are you finished?

00:46:04King Orion woke because Lord Ethan saved him.

00:46:10You called the man who saved the king a Black Marsh heretic?

00:46:16Oh!

00:46:18Anyone who dares touch him again becomes an enemy of Ash royal court.

00:46:27Open your eyes and look carefully.

00:46:30This is Lord Ethan, the man who saved my father.

00:46:33He really is the one who woke King Orion.

00:46:35Princess Alara herself confirmed it.

00:46:36We wrongly accused that Black Marsh heretic.

00:46:38No, we wrongly accused Lord Ethan.

00:46:41How is that possible?

00:46:43Princess Alara, could you be mistaken?

00:46:45He's just a border healer from the Black Marsh.

00:46:47How could he have saved King Orion?

00:46:49This man knows Black Marsh sorcery.

00:46:51He knows how to deceive people.

00:46:53He is no true healer!

00:46:55What?

00:46:56Should Lord Ethan have invited all of you to stand there and watch while he saved my father?

00:47:00I call you princess out of respect for Ash royal court.

00:47:03Today you came to my wedding feast and humiliated my bride to be in public.

00:47:06Tomorrow, will you bring soldiers into Black Raven held and trample our banner?

00:47:10Today, no matter who comes, this border healer stays here.

00:47:14You truly don't know when to stop.

00:47:18Ash royal court is nothing...

00:47:19I have never feared the Black Raven clan.

00:47:26Listen carefully.

00:47:28Lord Ethan saved my father today.

00:47:30He is the benefactor of Ash royal court.

00:47:32Disrespect him, and you disrespect Ash royal court.

00:47:35Lord Ethan, let's go.

00:47:38Wait!

00:47:42Wait.

00:47:45Even if Ethan saved King Orion, he still cursed my bride's family and injured the Black Raven clan's personal healers.

00:47:50That is also a fact.

00:47:53Alara, you may leave.

00:47:54I won't stop you, but Ethan stays here.

00:47:57You reminded me.

00:47:58I still have unfinished business with the Silver Stair Clan.

00:48:01You still dare talk big!

00:48:02The Silver Stair Clan has not survived all these years by being scared.

00:48:05You're only hiding behind Princess Alara.

00:48:07Have you forgotten you're just a border healer?

00:48:08Isn't hiding behind power what the Silver Stair Clan does best?

00:48:12Ethan, don't push your luck.

00:48:13Don't think Princess Alara's presence means you can walk out that door.

00:48:16A nest of fools walking into death.

00:48:18Zeus' punishment.

00:48:27You still dare attack?

00:48:29They broke the ancient marriage pact with their own hands.

00:48:32This is the punishment they earn.

00:48:37Do you still think this is Black Marsh Sorcery?

00:48:49Lord Morvaena, the Black Raven clan wants Ash Royal Court's salt mines and forests, but they refuse every offer we

00:48:57make.

00:48:57Please plant a curse in that old king.

00:49:00Let me take Ash Royal Court for myself and fulfill my ambition.

00:49:06Darian, do you have a death wish?

00:49:10How dare you tell me what to do?

00:49:12I wouldn't dare.

00:49:14Everything will be as you command.

00:49:15Have your son bring Lady Seraphina of the Silver Stag Clan back here.

00:49:19Once I use her Frost Bloodland to forge the final curse seed, you'll get your reward.

00:49:23Cassian is at the wedding with the Silver Stag Clan right now.

00:49:26In less than an hour, Seraphina will be brought deep into Black Raven Hope.

00:49:29After that, she is yours.

00:49:33Divine punishment, so that's what happened.

00:49:35Zeus Reborn helped King Orion pull out my curse.

00:49:40Wait.

00:49:43If you rush to your son's wedding feast now, you may still bring him back in one piece.

00:49:47Otherwise, not even a god can save him.

00:49:50Remember this.

00:49:51Do not provoke the young man with the medicine gulp.

00:49:53You cannot have to cross him.

00:49:55Thank you for the warning, my lord.

00:50:03Father!

00:50:04Mother!

00:50:05What's wrong, Mother?

00:50:07Don't scare me!

00:50:09Seraphina, are you alright?

00:50:11Ethan, you vile coward.

00:50:14You did this to my family, you...

00:50:17Seraphina, don't talk.

00:50:18Breathe.

00:50:21Cassian, my chest hurts.

00:50:23I can't hold on.

00:50:26If I die, then you listen.

00:50:29Seraphina!

00:50:30This is what happens when you break an ancient marriage chapter.

00:50:34What?

00:50:35You want to try too?

00:50:36If I don't kill you today, my name isn't Cassian.

00:50:42Stop!

00:50:47Ethan, my father is here.

00:50:49You're dead.

00:50:52Do you know who my father is, men in the north?

00:50:54Darion, chief of the Black Raven clan.

00:50:56One of the most ruthless men in the north.

00:50:58Under him, the Black Raven clan has taken plenty of salt mines and forests.

00:51:01Now they dare stand against Ash Royal Court.

00:51:03Darion is ruthless.

00:51:04People who offend him tend to disappear without explanation.

00:51:07Be careful.

00:51:09So what?

00:51:10What happened here?

00:51:12Father, you have to stand up for me.

00:51:15My wedding feast with Seraphina was going perfectly.

00:51:18Then this border healer named Ethan ruined everything.

00:51:21He used Black Marsh sorcery to hurt people.

00:51:23He left the Silverstag family half dead and badly injured Master Healer Felon and Master Healer Aurarius.

00:51:27I wanted to hold him accountable, but Alara keeps protecting this Black Marsh heretic.

00:51:32Father, now that you're here, you have to make this right!

00:51:35Is that true?

00:51:37Every word!

00:51:38If I lied, may thunder strike me down!

00:51:41Chief Darion, the Silverstag clan broke an ancient marriage pact and insulted Lord Ethan.

00:51:46Zeus' punishment fell on them.

00:51:48They brought this on themselves.

00:51:50Or are you only listening to your son's side?

00:51:54No, Father, you know me.

00:51:56I never start trouble outside.

00:51:57It was this Black Marsh heretic who attacked innocent people.

00:52:00He hurt your future in-laws.

00:52:02If I let this insult stand, everyone will think the Black Raven clan has no strength left!

00:52:09Are you here to avenge the Silverstag clan and defend your son too?

00:52:13If you rush to your son's wedding feast now, you may still bring him back in one piece.

00:52:18Otherwise, not even a god can save him.

00:52:20Remember this, do not provoke the young man with the medicine gore.

00:52:24You cannot have to cross him.

00:52:25Thank you for the warning, my lord.

00:52:29Father, you have to stand up for me!

00:52:31You Black Marsh heretic!

00:52:32You die today!

00:52:43Father, what are you doing?

00:52:45He hurt our people!

00:52:47You hit me instead of him?

00:52:48How many times have I told you, keep your head down outside.

00:52:52There is always someone more powerful.

00:52:54If Lord Ethan hadn't shown you mercy today, you would already be dead, with nothing left

00:52:59to bury.

00:53:00Father, you're out of your mind!

00:53:01This Black Marsh heretic hurt our people first!

00:53:04He started this!

00:53:05That slap was for being too blind to recognize divine power.

00:53:10Father, have you lost your mind?

00:53:13That slap was for causing trouble and never learning your lesson.

00:53:17Father, what are you doing?

00:53:19He...

00:53:19And that slap was for your arrogance.

00:53:22You almost destroyed the entire Black Raven clan.

00:53:36What?

00:53:37Darian Chief of the Black Raven clan is kneeling before a border healer?

00:53:40My father has never bowed to anyone.

00:53:43Father, people kneel before the Black Raven clan.

00:53:45How can you kneel for him?

00:53:47Shut up!

00:53:48Do you know who he is?

00:53:53Lord Ethan, this is the seal to the Black Raven treasury.

00:53:56There are 100,000 gold coins inside.

00:53:59Consider it my son's apology gift.

00:54:01And the matter of the Silver Stag clan?

00:54:03The Silver Stag clan broke an ancient marriage pact and mocked a power they didn't understand.

00:54:06They sealed their own fate.

00:54:10What happened today will never leave this room.

00:54:12The Black Raven clan will make sure this never affect Lord Ethan.

00:54:16Lord Ethan, please accept the treasury seal.

00:54:19You think this is enough to buy your son's life?

00:54:26The Black Raven clan also has ancient relics, mind deeds, war horses and jewels.

00:54:30Please accept them all, Lord Ethan.

00:54:32I only ask you to spare my son today.

00:54:36Father, are you insane?

00:54:38You're kneeling and apologizing to our enemy?

00:54:41Guards, lock him up.

00:54:45Father!

00:54:47Lord Ethan, does this arrangement satisfy you?

00:54:50You have more sense than he does.

00:54:52Fine.

00:54:53I came today only to end the Silver Stag marriage pact.

00:54:55The rest of our debts can wait.

00:54:57Thank you for sparing us, Lord Ethan.

00:55:09If anyone leaks a single word of what happened today, if anyone leaks a single word of what happened today,

00:55:14you'll kill them.

00:55:19Princess Alara, did you come to Black Raven hope because King Orion's curse returned?

00:55:25Father is well.

00:55:26Thank you for asking, Lord Ethan.

00:55:28After you left the royal court, father learned that Seraphina's marriage partner tonight was Cassian.

00:55:33The Black Raven clan is a top power in the north.

00:55:35They are not as strong as Ash Royal House, but they cannot be underestimated.

00:55:38After the Silflog clan tied themselves to Black Raven, they became even more argant.

00:55:44Father was worried you would be humiliated here, so he sent me to help you.

00:55:47These two families are blind.

00:55:49They failed to recognize your true identity and nearly harmed you.

00:55:53It's nothing.

00:55:53What can a few Black Ravens and Silver Stalks do to me?

00:55:58Princess Alara, you came here for another reason.

00:56:01Father sent me to investigate the one who released the curse.

00:56:03We have a lead.

00:56:05Lord Ethan, please return to the royal court with me.

00:56:08Ash Royal Court truly rules the north.

00:56:10You found a lead this quickly.

00:56:12Lord Ethan, please.

00:56:18How many times did I tell you to keep your head down?

00:56:20But you never listen.

00:56:22Now look at this.

00:56:23The wedding feast is ruined.

00:56:24The Silver Stag clan is half dead.

00:56:26How do you plan to clean this up?

00:56:34She's just one girl from Silver Stag.

00:56:35Is she really that important?

00:56:37There are plenty of clans in the north dying to marry into Black Raven.

00:56:40Are you telling me it has to be Seraphina?

00:56:43What do you know?

00:56:44Seraphina has a rare frost bloodline.

00:56:47Lord Morvayne specifically wanted her.

00:56:50Bringing her into the Black Raven clan was the most important part.

00:56:53Your arrogance and blindness ruined something that mattered.

00:56:56Is it really that mystical?

00:56:58I don't believe the Black Raven clan falls apart without Seraphina.

00:57:02And today was already enough.

00:57:04Zeus reborn.

00:57:05Divine punishment.

00:57:07Now some Black Marsh curse lord shows up too.

00:57:09Does this ever end?

00:57:11Lord Morvayne, my son is reckless and speaks without thinking.

00:57:14Please forgive him.

00:57:15I will find another way to bring Seraphina back.

00:57:18Father, you're the chief of the Black Raven clan.

00:57:21Even King Aron fears you.

00:57:22Why are you kneeling to this masked man?

00:57:29What did you do to me?

00:57:34Teaching you to keep your mouth shut.

00:57:37Please spare my son.

00:57:40Darian, have you forgotten who raised the Black Raven clan to where it is today?

00:57:45I would never forget.

00:57:46Without your help, the Black Raven clan would be nothing.

00:57:48Please spare my son.

00:57:50As chief of the Black Raven clan, you couldn't even bring me Seraphina.

00:57:52Perhaps the Black Raven clan no longer deserves my support.

00:57:55Father, help me.

00:57:56Mercy, my lord.

00:57:57I've served you faithfully for years.

00:57:58Please give me one more chance.

00:58:00You have one more chance.

00:58:02Fail again and you die.

00:58:04Command me, my lord.

00:58:05I will do whatever it takes.

00:58:08King Orion's second daughter, Princess Lyra.

00:58:12She carries royal blood, soul flame, and Black Marsh curse energy.

00:58:15She is an even better vessel for a new curse seed than Seraphina.

00:58:18Princess Lyra is inside Ash Royal Court.

00:58:21The guards there are tight.

00:58:23She is not in the royal court.

00:58:26She is in the East Tower of your Black Raven clan right now.

00:58:30In 15 minutes, I want her standing before me.

00:58:33Otherwise, you know what happens.

00:58:36I understand.

00:58:37I understand.

00:58:42Lord Ethan, you're here.

00:58:44Please sit.

00:58:44No need for formalities.

00:58:46Treat this as your own home.

00:58:48King Orion, didn't I tell you to rest?

00:58:50Why are you pushing yourself?

00:58:53Thanks to you, Lord Ethan, I'm already much better.

00:58:57When you treated me, you said the illness came from the Wendigo curse.

00:59:02You asked me to investigate who planted it and tell you once I found a lead.

00:59:06I came as soon as I found something.

00:59:07King Orion, speak plainly.

00:59:11Ten years ago, when my mother passed away, Ash Royal Court had just begun rising.

00:59:17We were blocked at every turn.

00:59:18On my way back to the royal court, I met an old man in a black robe.

00:59:21He said we were fated and gave me a jar of Black Marsh herbs for free.

00:59:25He told me the herbs must not be boiled or drank.

00:59:28If the herbs weren't for drinking, what were they for?

00:59:31To place at the bedside and ward off evil.

00:59:34And then?

00:59:35Then, everything began going smoothly for Ash Royal Court.

00:59:39After that, it became one of the strongest courts in the North.

00:59:43Lord Ethan, you truly see through everything.

00:59:45From that day on, I would lose consciousness from time to time until I met you, Lord Ethan.

00:59:49Those were not soul-calming herbs.

00:59:51They carried the Wendor curse.

00:59:53The price of Ash Royal Court's rise was the royal bloodline being drained while the court was destroyed from within.

01:00:02Lord Ethan, you saved my family's lives.

01:00:06After I woke up, that jar of Black Marsh herbs disappeared.

01:00:09I searched my memory and found a clue to that person.

01:00:13We learned that the last place he appeared was the Black Marsh border.

01:00:18The Black Marsh border?

01:00:20Isn't that where the Wendigo is sealed?

01:00:21I remember now.

01:00:23When that old man in the black robe gave me the Black Marsh herbs, he asked me if I wanted

01:00:27revenge.

01:00:32Revenge? What was that about?

01:00:34Back then, the herbs and gold coins meant to save my mother's life were stolen by bandits on the road.

01:00:40Her treatment was delayed.

01:00:42In the end, she still passed away.

01:00:48So that was when you met the old man in the black robe?

01:00:50I was in despair when I met him.

01:00:53The first thing he asked was whether I wanted revenge.

01:00:56Did you ever see him again after that?

01:00:59Never.

01:01:00So he knew what you wanted most.

01:01:04I remember something else.

01:01:05Father, please tell us everything at once.

01:01:08That old man wore a black robe with a black cloak over it.

01:01:11On the cloak, there was a very clear Black Sun emblem.

01:01:17There's a curse in the tea.

01:01:18Don't drink it!

01:01:24Lord Ethan, how is Alara?

01:01:26Princess Alana was hit by the curse in the tea.

01:01:29She'll be safe for now.

01:01:32But the curse inside Princess Alana is a soul-linked curse.

01:01:36It is different from the Wendico curse that was inside you.

01:01:39If the soul stays in the body, the person lives.

01:01:41If not, the body can be taken over.

01:01:43The source of this curse is not inside Princess Alara.

01:01:46What?

01:01:46Alara drank the herbal tea.

01:01:47How can the source not be inside her?

01:01:49Lord Ethan, please tell me!

01:01:50The curse seed is inside Princess Lyra.

01:01:55Lord Morvain, as you requested, I brought her here.

01:02:01Who are you?

01:02:02What do you want?

01:02:03Don't be afraid, Princess Lyra.

01:02:05I simply wanted to invite you for tea and a little talk.

01:02:08Catch up?

01:02:09I don't even know you!

01:02:10And who dies?

01:02:11You may not know me, but your father, King Arion, and I are old friends.

01:02:17Without my Black Marsh medicine,

01:02:18Ash Royal Court would never have become the strongest court

01:02:21in the North.

01:02:22In other words, in the North, I decide who live.

01:02:26My father may have taken your medicine,

01:02:28but Ash Royal Court rose because of him.

01:02:30What does that have to do with you?

01:02:32I helped, didn't I?

01:02:33I'm only collecting what King Arion owes me.

01:02:38Give Princess Lyra that tea.

01:02:45What are you doing?

01:02:46I...

01:02:46Drink it.

01:02:47No more talking.

01:02:49No more talking.

01:02:55One soul, two lives.

01:02:57Bind their pain.

01:02:59Link them across distance.

01:03:00Life and death as one.

01:03:04What?

01:03:05What did you do to me?

01:03:07Nothing much.

01:03:08Just a soul-linked curse.

01:03:10This curse connects your life with Alara's.

01:03:12If her curse is removed,

01:03:14you die.

01:03:14But if it isn't removed,

01:03:16your sister dies in one hour.

01:03:19Now, I want to see which daughter King Arion chooses to save.

01:03:23Princess Alara or you?

01:03:27You're disgusting.

01:03:29Don't worry.

01:03:30I'm only playing with your royal court.

01:03:32If I wanted you dead,

01:03:34you wouldn't survive today.

01:03:36Send Princess Lyra back.

01:03:39May I speak with Princess Lyra alone?

01:03:42I need to settle a small score from today.

01:03:45Do as you like.

01:03:46Thank you, Lord Morvain.

01:03:50Princess Lyra, let's go.

01:03:52I'll send you home.

01:03:57The curse seat is inside Princess Lyra.

01:03:59If I remove Princess Alara's curse,

01:04:01Princess Lyra will suffer the entire time

01:04:02and may even die.

01:04:03But if I don't remove it,

01:04:04in one hour,

01:04:05Princess Alara will itch all over,

01:04:06bleed from her eyes and mouth,

01:04:07and die.

01:04:08King Arion, Morvain is forcing you to choose.

01:04:10Save Princess Alara

01:04:11or save Princess Lyra?

01:04:13Unforgivable.

01:04:14Cursing me wasn't enough

01:04:14and now he's coming after my daughters.

01:04:16But Lord Ethan,

01:04:17if we're saving them,

01:04:18we have to find Lyra within the hour.

01:04:19No need.

01:04:20Princess Lyra is already here.

01:04:22What?

01:04:23Here?

01:04:24She just went to the Black Raven Clan's

01:04:26East Tower trading house.

01:04:27She can't be here.

01:04:28Your Majesty, something happened.

01:04:30Princess Lyra was badly wounded

01:04:31and dumped outside the royal court gate.

01:04:33Put her down.

01:04:34Send people to watch the Black Raven Clan.

01:04:41Already done.

01:04:42Father.

01:04:44Lyra, what happened?

01:04:45Yesterday, I was reviewing an old contract

01:04:47at the Black Raven Clan's

01:04:49East Tower trading house.

01:04:50Darion interrupted the meeting

01:04:52and had his men take me

01:04:53to a secret room

01:04:54inside Black Raven Keep.

01:04:59Darion, Cassian,

01:05:00and a masked man tortured me.

01:05:03That masked man placed a curse inside me.

01:05:07Lord Ethan,

01:05:07please save my sister.

01:05:10Princess Lyra,

01:05:11don't be afraid.

01:05:12I'm here.

01:05:16Darion must have a death wish.

01:05:17He dared lay hands on my daughter.

01:05:20Lyra,

01:05:21you said Darion and his son

01:05:22worked with a masked man to curse you.

01:05:24Yes.

01:05:25His name was Morvane.

01:05:29Morvane.

01:05:30Just as I thought.

01:05:31Darion wanted to curse me and kill me.

01:05:33I'll make him pay for this.

01:05:35King Orion,

01:05:35the priority is saving both princesses.

01:05:37Revenge can wait until they're safe.

01:05:38But because of the soul link curse,

01:05:40only one of them can be saved.

01:05:42Do you have a way?

01:05:42Me to the bedroom.

01:05:43I have a plan.

01:05:45Orin is the one Morvian cursed and controlled.

01:05:48Lyra is clean.

01:05:50Morvian must be using Orin to watch us.

01:05:56No.

01:05:58We need to draw Morvian.

01:05:59King Orion,

01:06:00no matter what happens in this room later,

01:06:02don't let anyone come in.

01:06:03And please,

01:06:04prepare some fresh mint leaves for me.

01:06:06Orin,

01:06:07follow Lord Ethan's instructions.

01:06:10Your Majesty,

01:06:11fresh mint doesn't grow this season.

01:06:14I'll handle it right away.

01:06:16I'll leave this to you, Lord Ethan.

01:06:22I don't know how much longer my body can hold out.

01:06:29Lord Ethan,

01:06:29the man who cursed us said only one of us can live.

01:06:32Is that true?

01:06:33Yes.

01:06:35And save my sister.

01:06:37She's stronger than I am,

01:06:38just like father.

01:06:39I believe she can take Ash Royal Halt further than I ever could.

01:06:42Princess Lyra,

01:06:43don't worry.

01:06:44Normally the soul link curse allows only one person to live.

01:06:46But I don't follow normal rules.

01:06:48Both of you will be fine.

01:06:50Lord Ethan,

01:06:50you can save both of us?

01:06:51Yes.

01:06:53But the curse is easy to break.

01:06:55The evil inside people is much harder.

01:06:58What do you mean?

01:06:59I'll break the curse first.

01:07:00After Princess Alara wakes,

01:07:02we'll talk.

01:07:03Lie down,

01:07:03close your eyes,

01:07:04and remove your outer robe.

01:07:13Thunderlight of Zeus,

01:07:14separate their souls.

01:07:17Darkness,

01:07:18withdraw.

01:07:19Life,

01:07:20return.

01:07:20Souls,

01:07:21return to your bodies.

01:07:23Soul link curse,

01:07:24break apart!

01:07:27Watch out!

01:07:34Ethan,

01:07:36you're more capable than I expected.

01:07:38You broke the soul link curse.

01:07:40In this world,

01:07:40only you could do that.

01:07:42No wonder you're Zeus reborn.

01:07:46He has also been cursed by Morvan.

01:07:48Morvain,

01:07:49let Orin go!

01:07:52Hand over the curse seed inside King Orion.

01:07:56Try leaving here alive.

01:07:58Your curse seed is right here.

01:08:01Ethan!

01:08:03What a waste!

01:08:05You wasted something that precious just to break a curse.

01:08:10You're beyond saving.

01:08:12Unforgivable!

01:08:13Unforgivable!

01:08:13Ethan!

01:08:15Lord Ethan,

01:08:16please save Orin.

01:08:18Orin,

01:08:19hold on.

01:08:20Break free from Morvena's control.

01:08:22Princess Lyra,

01:08:23my mind is clearer than ever.

01:08:25You never should have brought this man back.

01:08:28He ruined everything.

01:08:30I'm sorry.

01:08:32I can't save him.

01:08:33What?

01:08:34Even you can't save him?

01:08:36If even you can't,

01:08:38who can?

01:08:41A curse can be broken.

01:08:42A rotten heart cannot.

01:08:45Only he can save himself.

01:08:47Even a god couldn't do it for him.

01:08:50What do you mean?

01:08:53Orin was never cursed.

01:08:55He was sent here to kill both of you.

01:09:02Orin has served father for years.

01:09:04He watched us grow up.

01:09:06Why would he want to kill us?

01:09:08Do you remember what I said before breaking the curse?

01:09:12I remember.

01:09:13You said curses are easy to break,

01:09:15but the human heart cannot be healed.

01:09:17Lord Ethan,

01:09:18what is going on with Orin?

01:09:19The problem begins with your father.

01:09:22King Orion is at the center of this.

01:09:24If I'm right,

01:09:25King Orion sent him to kill you.

01:09:27No.

01:09:28That's impossible.

01:09:30I must still be dreaming.

01:09:32Sister,

01:09:32pinch me.

01:09:33Wake me up.

01:09:35Lord Ethan,

01:09:36this is not something you joke about.

01:09:37Ask Orin,

01:09:38then you'll know.

01:09:42The black flame mark behind his ear

01:09:44was put there by himself

01:09:45so I would notice it

01:09:46while he led the way.

01:09:47At first,

01:09:47I thought he had been cursed

01:09:48when he met Princess Lyra at the gate.

01:09:50I thought Morvan was using him to watch us.

01:09:52But other than the soul link curse,

01:09:54I found no sign of any other curse

01:09:55on Princess Lyra.

01:09:57And Morvan is confident enough now

01:09:59that if he wanted to kill us,

01:10:00he wouldn't need such a complicated setup.

01:10:02So the problem lies with your father.

01:10:03Princess Lyra,

01:10:04your father did not tell us the truth.

01:10:06Lord Ethan is more than a divine healer.

01:10:08He can see the whole board.

01:10:09Princess Lyra,

01:10:10your biggest mistake

01:10:11was bringing him back to cure the king.

01:10:13His majesty was about to become a god.

01:10:14And your love for your father

01:10:16ruined his plan.

01:10:19What did you say?

01:10:20This was all father's plan?

01:10:21His coma was staged?

01:10:23That can't be true.

01:10:24We brought so many sacred healers to father

01:10:25and none of them could break his curse.

01:10:27Your father's curse was real.

01:10:28Those so-called sacred healers

01:10:30truly couldn't see what was wrong with him.

01:10:31But your father and Morvan

01:10:32have a deep connection.

01:10:34When I woke your father,

01:10:35I disrupted their plan.

01:10:36Since you're all about to die,

01:10:38I might as well tell you the truth.

01:10:39His majesty sought out Morvane himself

01:10:41for immortality

01:10:41and swallowed the Black Marsh curse seed

01:10:43willingly.

01:10:44The day the curse seed

01:10:44breaks out of his body

01:10:45is the day his majesty

01:10:46leaves his mortal body behind

01:10:47and becomes immortal.

01:10:48And Ethan ruined it.

01:10:51No.

01:10:52No.

01:10:52Father would never do that.

01:10:54Nothing is impossible,

01:10:55Princess Lyra.

01:10:56You are too kind

01:10:57and far too easy to fool.

01:11:00In your next life,

01:11:01fix that weakness.

01:11:05It's done.

01:11:13Morvane,

01:11:14I handled Ethan for you.

01:11:15When do I get

01:11:16the Black Marsh curse seed

01:11:17you promised me?

01:11:18You are as ruthless as ever.

01:11:20For immortality,

01:11:21you sacrificed your wife.

01:11:22Now you are willing

01:11:23to sacrifice your daughters.

01:11:25Wolves do not preach mercy.

01:11:26Great things require sacrifice.

01:11:28I want to see how much use

01:11:29the body of Zeus reborn still has

01:11:31and what kind of curse seed

01:11:33it can reform.

01:11:58Where is my curse seed?

01:12:03Lord Morvane,

01:12:04that boy said he turned

01:12:05your soul link curse

01:12:06into medicine.

01:12:07Damn boy.

01:12:08You even dared turn

01:12:09my curse seed into medicine.

01:12:14Zeus is thunder light.

01:12:16So he really isn't

01:12:17an ordinary border healer.

01:12:19Morvane,

01:12:20I delivered the man you wanted.

01:12:21Now according to our deal,

01:12:23give me the real

01:12:23Black Marsh curse seed.

01:12:25What deal?

01:12:26You're betraying me?

01:12:28I gave you Ethan

01:12:29and both of my daughters?

01:12:30You promised me

01:12:31the real Black Marsh curse seed.

01:12:33You promised to help

01:12:34me become immortal.

01:12:35Orion,

01:12:37have you forgotten

01:12:37who put you on that throne?

01:12:39I took you from

01:12:40a fallen Roarline

01:12:41and made you

01:12:42King of the North.

01:12:43And now you bring me

01:12:45a few corpses

01:12:45and think you can bargain?

01:12:48You promised me

01:12:49once I gave you Ethan

01:12:50you would help me

01:12:51become immortal.

01:12:52Their lives are worthless.

01:12:53If I want them dead,

01:12:54they die.

01:12:55You're the one

01:12:56who betrayed blood and oath.

01:12:57You sacrificed your wife,

01:12:58then your daughters,

01:12:59and now you still want

01:13:00immortality?

01:13:01You're too greedy.

01:13:02I can give you all

01:13:03of Ash Royal Court.

01:13:05Salt mines,

01:13:06hunting grounds,

01:13:07take whatever you want.

01:13:09And what makes you think

01:13:10I care about any of that?

01:13:12Right now,

01:13:13he is worth more than you.

01:13:16Zeus' reborn body

01:13:17and the remains

01:13:18of the curse seed

01:13:19he refined

01:13:19are far more useful

01:13:21than your old bones.

01:13:23What do you want?

01:13:24Don't ask what I want.

01:13:27Ask what you still have.

01:13:33What if I offer

01:13:34every resource

01:13:34Ash Royal Court has?

01:13:36Ash Royal Court

01:13:37is now the strongest

01:13:38court in the North.

01:13:39Wasn't I the one

01:13:40who put you on that throne?

01:13:41I can make you king

01:13:42and I can make

01:13:43someone else king.

01:13:45You know exactly

01:13:46why I chose you back then.

01:13:47Because my queen

01:13:48had a rare frost bloodline,

01:13:50you wanted to use her

01:13:52as a sacrifice

01:13:53for your soul link, Kurt.

01:13:54You wanted my queen's life

01:13:56and I gave it to you.

01:13:57I gave you my daughters too!

01:13:59What else do you want?

01:14:01Without your blood relatives,

01:14:02you're nothing to me.

01:14:05You.

01:14:08I forgot.

01:14:10You still have one loyal dog.

01:14:17If you want to touch the king,

01:14:19you go through me first.

01:14:20You want to fight me?

01:14:22You don't even know

01:14:23how weak you are.

01:14:26Say it!

01:14:27What do you want?

01:14:28Orion, so many royal families

01:14:30begged me back then.

01:14:31Why did I choose

01:14:31a fallen prince like you?

01:14:33Because you wanted

01:14:34my queen's bloodline.

01:14:35That was only part of it.

01:14:36I chose you

01:14:37because you were ruthless.

01:14:38You dared to give things up.

01:14:39You dared to gamble.

01:14:41Just like now.

01:14:41All I have now

01:14:42is Ash Royal Court

01:14:44and every resource

01:14:45in the North.

01:14:46If you want them,

01:14:49take them.

01:14:50Think harder.

01:14:51What else do you still have?

01:14:53I have nothing left now.

01:14:58You want my life.

01:14:59So you finally understand,

01:15:01yes.

01:15:02I want your life.

01:15:04Your Majesty!

01:15:06Run!

01:15:13Such loyalty.

01:15:14Such a worthless death.

01:15:21Hello, Morvain.

01:15:23Or should I call you

01:15:25brother?

01:15:29Nothing is impossible,

01:15:31Princess Lyra.

01:15:33You're too kind

01:15:34and far too trusting.

01:15:35In your next life,

01:15:37fix that weakness.

01:15:40You think you can

01:15:41take my life?

01:15:42This can't be real.

01:15:43I don't believe it.

01:15:45Lyra, wake up.

01:15:45This is real.

01:15:47Since our father

01:15:47wants us dead,

01:15:49we need to decide

01:15:50what we do next.

01:15:51I just used

01:15:52true thunder.

01:15:53Orin can only tell

01:15:54the truth now.

01:15:54Ask him anything you want.

01:15:57Orin,

01:15:58was everything you said

01:15:59just now true?

01:16:00Every word.

01:16:01Did you know

01:16:02Princess Lyra

01:16:02was tortured by the

01:16:03Black Riven clan

01:16:05and Morvain?

01:16:06His Majesty

01:16:06deliberately sent

01:16:07Princess Lyra

01:16:08to the Black Riven clan's

01:16:09East Tower trading house

01:16:10to investigate

01:16:11an old contract.

01:16:12Princesses,

01:16:13we are already

01:16:13inside the trap.

01:16:15Let's hear how many

01:16:16more secrets

01:16:16King Oran and Morvain

01:16:17are hiding.

01:16:18We'll follow your lead,

01:16:18Lord Ethan.

01:16:22Princesses,

01:16:23forgive me.

01:16:48Brother.

01:16:49Brother,

01:16:50those little tricks

01:16:51of yours won't kill me.

01:16:53Morvain,

01:16:53I've already sealed

01:16:54this room with

01:16:54a thunder barrier.

01:16:55Don't waste your strength.

01:16:57Your Black Marr curses

01:16:57won't work here.

01:16:58Surrender.

01:16:59No wonder you are

01:17:00Zeus reborn.

01:17:01So the power of the

01:17:02old gods really did

01:17:03fall to you.

01:17:03But crushing you

01:17:04would take no effort.

01:17:05I'm not done playing yet,

01:17:06so I'll let you live today.

01:17:07Goodbye.

01:17:21King Orion,

01:17:22what happened today

01:17:23is a matter for Ashcord.

01:17:24I won't interfere,

01:17:25but there are things

01:17:26you need to tell the truth about.

01:17:28You all heard it.

01:17:31We heard.

01:17:32Father,

01:17:32you were willing to trade

01:17:33all our lives

01:17:34for your immortality

01:17:35and your throne.

01:17:36Do you even deserve

01:17:37to be our father?

01:17:38King Orion,

01:17:39that curse cannot make you

01:17:40immortal.

01:17:41It cannot make you a god.

01:17:43It will only keep feeding

01:17:44on your soul

01:17:44and your family's souls

01:17:45until your house is destroyed.

01:17:47If immortality were truly

01:17:48that easy,

01:17:49why would Morvan

01:17:50give it to a mortal

01:17:50with no divine power

01:17:51instead of keeping it

01:17:52for himself?

01:17:54So,

01:17:55I was never Morvan's

01:17:57chosen one.

01:17:57I was his experiment.

01:18:01When I had just taken over

01:18:02Ash Royal Court,

01:18:03I signed a major

01:18:04saltmine contract.

01:18:05Halfway through,

01:18:06our allied clan

01:18:07suddenly withdrew.

01:18:08It nearly destroyed us.

01:18:09I had knights to feed.

01:18:11My mother needed

01:18:11life-saving medicine.

01:18:12Elira and Lyra

01:18:13were still young.

01:18:14Every corner of the court

01:18:15needed gold.

01:18:16I went to them

01:18:17again and again,

01:18:18begging them not to pull out.

01:18:19Every time,

01:18:19they refused.

01:18:20Just like that,

01:18:21the saltmine contract collapsed.

01:18:22The royal court

01:18:23was on the edge.

01:18:24My mother died

01:18:24on her sickbed.

01:18:25After I left her sickroom,

01:18:26I went to the altar

01:18:27of the old gods

01:18:27to ask for guidance.

01:18:29When I came out,

01:18:29I met Morvan.

01:18:31He asked if I wanted revenge.

01:18:32I was blinded by hate.

01:18:34I thought the old gods

01:18:36had answered me,

01:18:36so I made a deal with him.

01:18:38With all our lives

01:18:39as the price for your greed?

01:18:41He promised that

01:18:42within 15 years,

01:18:43I would rule the North

01:18:44and become immortal.

01:18:45I was young and arrogant.

01:18:47I agreed before

01:18:48he even finished speaking.

01:18:49And the price

01:18:49was your entire family's lives?

01:18:51No!

01:18:52The price was a lifetime

01:18:53of being alone.

01:18:54Then congratulations.

01:18:56You got exactly

01:18:57what you wanted.

01:18:58From now on,

01:18:59you will be alone

01:18:59for the rest of your life.

01:19:00Princess Alara,

01:19:01not yet.

01:19:02Let King Orion finish.

01:19:03He gave me the price

01:19:04before I understood it.

01:19:06When he said the cost

01:19:07was a lifetime alone,

01:19:08I felt nothing.

01:19:09What's the difference?

01:19:10A lifetime of being alone

01:19:12doesn't only mean

01:19:13losing your family.

01:19:15It means from that day on,

01:19:16there was no one

01:19:18beside me I could trust.

01:19:19Then congratulations.

01:19:21You got exactly

01:19:22what you wanted.

01:19:22From now on,

01:19:23you will be alone

01:19:24for the rest of your life.

01:19:25Princess Alara,

01:19:26not yet.

01:19:27Let King Orion finish.

01:19:28He gave me the price

01:19:29before I understood it.

01:19:30When he said the cost

01:19:32was a lifetime alone,

01:19:33I felt nothing.

01:19:34He gave me a jar

01:19:35of black marsh herbs.

01:19:37He told me not to boil them

01:19:38or drink them,

01:19:39only to place them

01:19:39by the bed.

01:19:40Because of where

01:19:41I placed them,

01:19:41that very night

01:19:42I had a terrible fight

01:19:43with the Queen.

01:19:44Looking back now,

01:19:45that was when

01:19:46the price began.

01:19:48The Queen saw that thing

01:19:50and couldn't sleep.

01:19:51That night,

01:19:52she slept on the fur bench

01:19:53in the outer hall.

01:19:55When I woke up,

01:19:56the herbs were still there,

01:19:57but the curse seed

01:19:58inside them was gone.

01:20:00If I'm right,

01:20:00that curse seed

01:20:01was never meant for you.

01:20:02It was meant for your Queen,

01:20:03because she carried

01:20:04the rare frost bloodline.

01:20:06At first,

01:20:06there were no signs at all.

01:20:08Then,

01:20:08after Lyra turned 18,

01:20:10the Queen suddenly coughed blood

01:20:11in the royal court

01:20:12inner chamber

01:20:12and died.

01:20:13When I prepared her body,

01:20:15I regretted making that deal.

01:20:17I found him

01:20:18and told him

01:20:18the deal was off.

01:20:20I said I wanted out.

01:20:21You only saw

01:20:22what you gained.

01:20:23You never understood

01:20:24what you lost.

01:20:25What did I gain?

01:20:26What did I gain?

01:20:28The royal court.

01:20:30A court that belonged to me.

01:20:32The greatest royal court

01:20:33in the North.

01:20:34And after that?

01:20:36Ash royal court

01:20:37grew stronger by the day.

01:20:39It did not even take 15 years.

01:20:41It became

01:20:42the strongest royal court

01:20:44in the North.

01:20:44Princess Lyla's illness,

01:20:46in a way,

01:20:47also came from you.

01:20:48Yes.

01:20:50It came from me.

01:20:51But I had no way back.

01:20:53All I could do

01:20:54was keep moving forward.

01:20:56Give them the best

01:20:57of everything.

01:20:58Material things.

01:20:59To make up

01:21:00for what I owed them.

01:21:02I would rather

01:21:03have lived poor

01:21:03than watch our family

01:21:05fall apart.

01:21:06Be torn to pieces.

01:21:08Illness can be healed.

01:21:09Desire is harder to remove.

01:21:11That's because

01:21:11you've never been desperate.

01:21:13Every person has desires.

01:21:14I did what I had to do.

01:21:16Then what about your mother,

01:21:17who built everything

01:21:17with you from nothing?

01:21:18Sometimes,

01:21:19for the future of a kingdom,

01:21:21one person's sacrifice

01:21:22means nothing.

01:21:23You're beyond saving.

01:21:24You're not the father I knew.

01:21:28At this point,

01:21:29I only want to step down

01:21:30and leave Ash Court behind.

01:21:32The Blackstone Royal Token.

01:21:35Whoever holds it

01:21:36speaks with the king's authority.

01:21:38From this day on,

01:21:40Ash Royal Court

01:21:42is yours to command.

01:21:49This filthy thing,

01:21:51let it rot.

01:21:55Ten Ash Royal Courts

01:21:57could never buy back

01:21:59Mother's life.

01:22:00Elara,

01:22:00you are exactly like I was

01:22:02when I first took over

01:22:02the Royal Court.

01:22:03Fearless.

01:22:04But one day,

01:22:05you'll understand.

01:22:06Reality will crush you

01:22:07until you can't breathe.

01:22:09And this token

01:22:10is the weapon

01:22:10that lets you survive it.

01:22:12Lyra, come here.

01:22:13Let your father

01:22:14hold you one last time.

01:22:15If only your mother

01:22:16were here now.

01:22:24Father!

01:22:25Father!

01:22:26Father!

01:22:30Princesses,

01:22:31the dead cannot return.

01:22:32King Orion had already

01:22:33taken poison.

01:22:34We were here the whole time.

01:22:35When did he take it?

01:22:37He knew he had

01:22:37too many enemies in the north.

01:22:39If he ever fell into their hands.

01:22:40It was his last

01:22:41shred of dignity.

01:22:42Lord Ethan,

01:22:43you can save people.

01:22:44Please,

01:22:44you have to save him.

01:22:45There's still time.

01:22:48Father.

01:22:49He knew he had

01:22:50too many enemies

01:22:51in the north.

01:22:52If he ever fell

01:22:53into their hands,

01:22:54he hid it in his tooth.

01:22:55It was his final foulback.

01:22:57Princess Lyra,

01:22:58King Orion's belief

01:22:59in immortality

01:23:00has shattered.

01:23:00He caused the queen's death

01:23:01and nearly killed

01:23:02both of you.

01:23:03Even if I brought him back,

01:23:04I'm afraid.

01:23:05This is not the time

01:23:06to cry.

01:23:07Handle father's funeral

01:23:08in the court's affairs.

01:23:09Lord Ethan and I

01:23:10will settle the score

01:23:10with Morvan.

01:23:11Princess Lyra,

01:23:12you truly are

01:23:13King Orion's daughter.

01:23:14Calm under pressure.

01:23:15Born to rule.

01:23:16Princess Lyra,

01:23:17not yet.

01:23:20Morvane's Black Marsh

01:23:21curses are strange.

01:23:22If we go now

01:23:23without preparation,

01:23:24we're just walking

01:23:25to our deaths.

01:23:26I have something for you.

01:23:28What is this?

01:23:29Toad Blyle Powder.

01:23:30Once applied,

01:23:31it's colorless and odorless,

01:23:32but deadly

01:23:32to Black Marsh curse bugs.

01:23:34Think of it

01:23:34as armor for your body.

01:23:39I thought it over.

01:23:41Better to end a threat

01:23:42before it spreads.

01:23:44If I leave you alone,

01:23:45sooner or later,

01:23:46you'll ruin everything.

01:23:49So, Ethan,

01:23:51die.

01:23:52Perfect.

01:23:53Saves me the trouble

01:23:54of finding you.

01:23:55Give me back

01:23:56my mother's life!

01:23:58Give me back

01:23:59my curse seed.

01:24:01Bloodline.

01:24:02Soul.

01:24:05Immortality.

01:24:06Come to me!

01:24:17What's happening?

01:24:19How can he still

01:24:19cast curses?

01:24:20Didn't he set up

01:24:21a thunder barrier here?

01:24:22To me,

01:24:23it makes no difference.

01:24:25You think this boy

01:24:26is powerful enough

01:24:27to break down my curse?

01:24:29Ridiculous.

01:24:30If you want it so badly,

01:24:32I'll give it back.

01:24:33By my thunder light,

01:24:34open the path back.

01:24:38My curse bugs,

01:24:39why are they gone?

01:24:40How do you know

01:24:41the Black Marsh curse tongue?

01:24:42I am Zeus reborn.

01:24:44No dark art

01:24:45stays hidden from me.

01:24:46I've seen through

01:24:46your curse work,

01:24:47Morvane.

01:24:48You miscalculated.

01:24:49Then I'll take

01:24:50the souls you protect

01:24:51and repair

01:24:52my broken one.

01:24:54These are motion hunting

01:24:56curse bugs.

01:24:57They attack anything

01:24:58alive that moves.

01:25:00Once they stick to you

01:25:01for 30 seconds,

01:25:02you'll be nothing

01:25:03but bones.

01:25:04They leave the flesh

01:25:05untouched.

01:25:06They only eat the bones.

01:25:08After you die,

01:25:09I'll make cloaks

01:25:10from your skin.

01:25:15Ethan,

01:25:16do you know

01:25:17why you became

01:25:18Zeus reborn?

01:25:21Morvane,

01:25:22you use curse bugs

01:25:23to devour

01:25:23other people's lives

01:25:25and repair

01:25:25your own broken soul.

01:25:27So what?

01:25:27The strong survive

01:25:29by devouring the weak.

01:25:30You're right.

01:25:31So today,

01:25:32it's your turn

01:25:33to be devoured.

01:25:40Don't you dare.

01:25:42Black Marsh,

01:25:42open.

01:25:43Curse blood,

01:25:44awaken.

01:25:44Take his soul

01:25:45and make his power

01:25:47mine.

01:25:48Thunder,

01:25:48shatter the darkness.

01:25:52My curse bugs.

01:25:54How did they disappear?

01:25:56Sister!

01:25:57Let's see if you're

01:25:58willing to kill her

01:25:59just to destroy me.

01:26:00Ethan,

01:26:01what are you waiting for?

01:26:02Do it!

01:26:02If my life

01:26:04can take this monster

01:26:05down,

01:26:05it's worth it.

01:26:06Brother,

01:26:07join me.

01:26:08You command

01:26:09divine healing.

01:26:10I command

01:26:11Black Marsh curses.

01:26:13Together,

01:26:13this whole world

01:26:14could be ours.

01:26:15Everyone chooses

01:26:15their own path.

01:26:16I won't steal

01:26:17another life

01:26:17to change mine.

01:26:19In all my life,

01:26:20you're the only one

01:26:21who has ever dared

01:26:22refuse me, Ethan.

01:26:23Then die with her!

01:26:27Impossible!

01:26:27How do you know

01:26:28the strongest

01:26:28Black Marsh curse?

01:26:30You're wrong.

01:26:31To you,

01:26:32this is the strongest

01:26:32Black Marsh cursed.

01:26:34To me,

01:26:35it's nothing.

01:26:36Spend the rest of your life

01:26:38inside my inner prison.

01:26:39No!

01:26:40No!

01:26:41No!

01:26:49You're awake.

01:26:51Are you alright?

01:26:52Are you hurt?

01:26:53Where is Morvain?

01:26:55I'm fine.

01:26:56I trapped him

01:26:57inside my inner prison.

01:26:59He will spend the rest

01:27:00of his life there.

01:27:02Sister!
