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.
00:01:04What 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.
00:01:23Herbs, offerings, gold, hunting grounds.
00:01:26I 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.
00:01:34King Orion's condition is unlike anything we've ever seen.
00:01:36There is nothing we can do.
00:01:38Failing to cure him is not the crime.
00:01:41Lying to this court is.
00:01:43Orin, 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.
00:02:06If my father wakes, I will stake the entire royal court on it.
00:02:10The black marsh spirit is dead, but the curse remains.
00:02:13Someone here brought the Wendau in.
00:02:16Orin, whatever it takes.
00:02:18Find someone who can save my father.
00:02:20Princess Lyra, the blood oath decree has already gone out.
00:02:25Hold on.
00:02:27Stranger.
00:02:28Who are you?
00:02:29Ethan.
00:02:30A forest healer.
00:02:32The 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 Wendau curse will eat through his life force.
00:02:51How do you know that?
00:02:52Because this is not an illness.
00:02:54It is the Wendau's curse.
00:02:58One step too late, and the man you're trying to save won't be a king.
00:03:03He'll be a corpse.
00:03:06You're saying my father is cursed?
00:03:09The Black Marsh Wendigo feeds on souls.
00:03:12The king has no wound on his body, but his soul is being eaten 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.
00:03:32If you're just trying to survive, go now, and I'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.
00:03:44Around 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.
00:03:51You'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.
00:04:01If you remember this, you lie to me and my sister will make sure you die 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.
00:04:21If you don't wake up, I'll have no choice but to offer myself through the royal blood oath decree.
00:04:26I'm not afraid of marrying a stranger.
00:04:28I'm afraid you'll never wake up.
00:04:37Princess Alara, we can cure King Orion.
00:04:45Princess Alara, don't lose hope.
00:04:47I can save King Orion.
00:04:51I am Salona, High Healer of Bonecraft.
00:04:54At your service, Princess Alara.
00:04:56This is Meera, 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?
00:05:16I 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 Meera never needs more than three runes.
00:05:29Let'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.
00:05:37A 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.
00:05:50I've never seen a condition like this.
00:05:53Meera, I gave you the first chance, and you wasted it.
00:05:57Step aside.
00:05:59Three breaths.
00:05:59That is all I need to wake the king.
00:06:02Then please begin.
00:06:03My 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.
00:06:30I 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.
00:06:59You dare interrupt the king's healer?
00:07:01Do 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 fate?
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.
00:07:32I 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 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 oak 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!
00:08:19Take him out of the royal court!
00:08:21Take 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.
00:09:00You'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 Wendigo 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.
00:09:56Then the Wendigo 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.
00:10:24Ethan, please save my father!
00:10:26Don't touch him yet.
00:10:27According to the old altar scrolls, the Wendigo 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.
00:10:40How 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.
00:11:11But in ten years, no one has ever named my father's symptoms this clearly.
00:11:17Ethan, 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.
00:12:22As 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.
00:12:34Oren, 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.
00:13:06What?
00:13:09Say that again.
00:13:10Remove the outer robe.
00:13:12Unfasten the silver bone belt.
00:13:16Ethan, I gave you a chance to save the king, not a chance to insult my family.
00:13:23The 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.
00:13:33It 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.
00:14:01It senses you.
00:14:05Then let it come out.
00:14:07My body still can't withstand the thunder, but divine light should be enough.
00:14:11If 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!
00:14:32Ethan, hurry.
00:14:35Come out!
00:14:45Princess Lyra.
00:14:47Princess Lyra 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 Lyra 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.
00:15:37No 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.
00:16:14Oren.
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!
00:16:33Oh!
00:16:35Oh!
00:16:42Sister!
00:16:43Oh!
00:16:44Careful!
00:16:44Come out!
00:16:46Oh!
00:16:48Sorry.
00:16:49Look at me.
00:16:50Don't look at it.
00:16:57Now!
00:17:02Sister!
00:17:03Ethan, let go of the Princess.
00:17:05Now!
00:17:10Take your hands off me!
00:17:13The ancient Wendigo curse has truly returned.
00:17:17The Black Marsh seal could not have broken on its own.
00:17:19Someone inside the royal court released the Wendigo.
00:17:24Sister, are you hurt?
00:17:26Who told you to come in?
00:17:28I hurt.
00:17:29Princess Alara, we all saw what happened.
00:17:31That outsider removed your robe and put his hands on you.
00:17:34Sister, did he really save you?
00:17:36The curse was going for my eyes.
00:17:38He saved me.
00:17:41The curse is gone.
00:17:43Why has my father not woken up?
00:17:45His soul needs time to return.
00:17:46When the Cedar Fire dies down for the third time, he'll wake.
00:17:50Easy to say.
00:17:51And if he doesn't wake?
00:17:52If he doesn't wake, the Wendrig will rip this entire court apart and destroy all of us.
00:17:59This matter is finished.
00:18:01Finished?
00:18:02I still have an old marriage pact to settle.
00:18:04Marriage contract?
00:18:06You crossed a line with Princess Alara, and now you think you can leave?
00:18:10Until the king wakes, you are not taking one step out of here.
00:18:13Before King Aryan wakes, you'd better stay.
00:18:16Otherwise, I can't promise you'll leave this room alive.
00:18:18If I want to leave, no one here can stop me.
00:18:22Stop.
00:18:25Stop.
00:18:27Father!
00:18:27Father is awake!
00:18:31Who is this?
00:18:33You weren't sick.
00:18:34You were under a Wendigo curse.
00:18:36A Wendog curse?
00:18:40Ethan removed the curse and saved your life.
00:18:44You're young, but your healing is extraordinary.
00:18:48Bring it in.
00:18:49This seal grants rights to the salt mines, and this is the Border Court's Blackstone Token.
00:18:55With this token, you will be treated as an honored guest of the crown.
00:18:59Thank you, Your Majesty.
00:19:00You saved my life, Ethan.
00:19:02Please accept this small token of gratitude.
00:19:06You are too kind, Your Majesty.
00:19:08I don't save people because of rank.
00:19:10I save them because I choose to.
00:19:12Since you have saved my father, I will honor my promise.
00:19:17I will honor the Royal Marriage Pact with you.
00:19:20Princess Alara, I appreciate your kindness, but I am already bound by an ancient marriage
00:19:25pact with Lady Serafina of the Silverstag Clan.
00:19:27The appointed time is almost here.
00:19:29I should leave.
00:19:33It seems you and Ethan were not meant for each other.
00:19:36If that is so, I will not force him to stay.
00:19:38Ethan, from now on, whenever you need anything, the Border Court will stand with you.
00:19:44There is one thing I need your help with.
00:19:47The Border Court has power and reach.
00:19:49Help me find the one who released the Wendog curse.
00:19:52Help me put an end to that person and bring peace back to the Northern Clans.
00:19:55I will.
00:19:55I swear I will find whoever did this.
00:19:58I'll take my leave.
00:20:02Your Majesty, since you are safe now, we will leave you to rest.
00:20:06The three healers have done their part.
00:20:08Prepare a generous gift for each of them.
00:20:13Father, the curse has only just been lifted.
00:20:15You should rest.
00:20:16I can investigate where the Wendog curse came from.
00:20:19Alara, in the North, there has only ever been one enemy.
00:20:22The Black Raven Clan.
00:20:24In the North, only the Black Raven Clan stands as an equal to our court.
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!
00:20:36What is it?
00:20:37Ethan said he has an ancient marriage pact with Lady Serafina of the Silvestad Clan.
00:20:41But tonight, the Silvestad 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?
00:20:54A 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, saw the curse and pulled my soul back from the Black Marsh.
00:21:09He carries ancient thunder power.
00:21:11Ancient thunder?
00:21:12He really isn't an ordinary forest healer.
00:21:14Behind him there may be a god.
00:21:17If the Silvestad Clan truly holds his old marriage pact, then they have a blessing they may never deserve.
00:21:22The Silvestad Clan has grown weak over the years.
00:21:26All 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.
00:21:35The Silvestad Clan will reject Ethan when he arrives.
00:21:38I'll go help him.
00:21:47The Silvestad Clan finally bet the nay.
00:21:50Marrying 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.
00:21:55That won't stop the Black Raven Clan.
00:22:15The Silver Deer 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?
00:22:33For a small clan, tying themselves to Black Raven is an opportunity others would kill for.
00:22:41My daughter Seraphina was indeed saved by an outsider years ago.
00:22:45And the old chief of the Silverstair 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 Silverstair Clan, I will not allow anyone to use an old pact to trade on our
00:22:54name.
00:22:55The Silvestad Clan is using Black Raven to survive while abandoning an old oath.
00:22:59Everyone should look carefully at whose banner hangs here.
00:23:02Before speaking, the Silverstair Clan cannot afford Black Raven's wrath.
00:23:06And neither can any of you.
00:23:07If that forest haemur does not show up, the 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.
00:23:26I 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.
00:23:44Ethan, 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 Silverstair chief begged for this pact before the ancestral altar?
00:23:55Remember, the Silverstair Clan is no longer what it was 16 years ago.
00:24:00Today, the Silverstair 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.
00:24:15Mud, 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, don't push this too far.
00:24:31You are just holding an old pact someone handed you, trying to force your way into the Silverstock Clan.
00:24:37The Silverstock 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.
00:24:49That does not mean Seraphina must marry you.
00:24:51The old chief who made that oath is dead.
00:24:54The Silverstock Clan now answers to Aldric.
00:24:57You 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 Silverstock 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?
00:25:31The Silverstock Clan will pay in blood.
00:25:37Ethan, you should not have come today.
00:25:41Lady Seraphina, you also think I came here to use the Silverstock Clan name?
00:25:46What else would it be?
00:25:50The Silverstock Clan is returning to power.
00:25:52Now we are forming a marriage alliance with the Black Raven Clan.
00:25:56You came dragging out an old pact from years ago because you want to use our name to force your
00:26:01way into northern robility.
00:26:02This old marriage pact exists, yes, but 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 Silverstock Clan, and I have already agreed to marry Cassian, heir of the Black Raven
00:26:13Clan.
00:26:14He can bring the Silverstock Clan back into northern power.
00:26:17You are nothing.
00:26:18You cannot give the Silverthor Clan a future.
00:26:19I will be the Lady of Black Raven Hulk, and you are just a wandering healer from the Black Marsh
00:26:23border.
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 Silverstag Clan.
00:26:35I would rather marry a dog from the stables than marry a man like you.
00:26:41You're just a border healer from the Black Marsh, and 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 Silverstarg ancestors themselves.
00:26:53I 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, the Silverstarg Clan will bear the consequences.
00:27:03Your banner will fall, and your bloodline will suffer.
00:27:06At my daughter's wedding feast, a border healer dares curse the Silverthor Clan?
00:27:11Guards!
00:27:12Drag him out!
00:27:15Your disaster is already here, and 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?
00:27:39Let's see how a border healer plans to bring disaster on the Silverstag bloodline.
00:27:46On this land, there are nobles, vassals, and gutter-borne trash.
00:27:50The Black Raven Clan stands at the top.
00:27:53The Silverthag Clan is noble.
00:27:55And you, a border healer from the Black Marsh, think 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.
00:28:14Cancel 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, and 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 cursely.
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?
00:29:22In this contract.
00:29:24Anyone who falsely invokes the Divine Thunder Healer and 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, I really won't be able to protect you.
00:29:55Serafina, the former Silverstag chief, begged 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 Silverstag clan.
00:30:03And this is how you treat it?
00:30:05Today, I, Serafina, turn my back on this old oath.
00:30:12What 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 going to do about it?
00:30:31The pact is broken.
00:30:33Zeus' punishment begins now.
00:30:39You really believe your own acts, don't you?
00:30:43You think you're Zeus, Riorne?
00:30:47Zeus' punishment?
00:30:48The Silverstag 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.
00:30:56You 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.
00:31:08From 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 Silverstag clan?
00:31:16Zeus' punishment has already begun.
00:31:20Every member of the Silverstag clan carries the curse.
00:31:24You're hopeless.
00:31:25The Silverstag hunting grounds will fall.
00:31:28Your clan treasury will be empty.
00:31:30The salt mines, mountain roads, and fur trade routes will all be lost.
00:31:38The Silverstag clan is not some easy target.
00:31:41Who are you, a border healer, to threaten me with loss?
00:31:45The Silverstag 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.
00:32:01Don'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, no one here will dare keep you alive.
00:32:18You're already at death's door, and you're still talking.
00:32:41Princess Alara!
00:32:43Speak.
00:32:45News from Black Raven Keep.
00:32:47Cassian publicly humiliated Ethan at the wedding feast.
00:32:50Cassian?
00:32:51The Silverstag clan also tore up the old marriage bat in public and tried to drive Ethan out of the
00:32:55keep.
00:32:56They dared insult Ethan?
00:32:57They must have a death wish.
00:32:59To Black Raven Holt.
00:33:01Now.
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.
00:33:24Could he really be Zeus reborn?
00:33:26The Silverstag 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, the 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.
00:33:51You'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.
00:34:10Phelan 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!
00:34:22We're saved!
00:34:28I came with a gift.
00:34:30To celebrate the wedding of Cassian, heir of the Black Raven clan.
00:34:34Celebrate what?
00:34:35My bride's whole family was nearly killed by this border healer.
00:34:38Look at them!
00:34:39Now!
00:34:40Someone dares harm Lord Cassier's bride and her family at his own wedding feast.
00:34:43Bold!
00:34:44I'll warn you once, stay out of this.
00:34:46You can't save them, and you don't want to get dragged in.
00:34:49You look like you've studied healing for a few years.
00:34:51Too bad your heart is rotten.
00:34:53You dare curse people at Lord Cassian's wedding feast.
00:34:56Ethan, your cheap little tricks are nothing before Master Healer Phelan.
00:35:00Some people only learn when death is at their door.
00:35:03First Holy Seal.
00:35:04Open the body.
00:35:06Sacred Light.
00:35:07Drive out the curse.
00:35:09Second Holy Seal.
00:35:11Steady the soul.
00:35:13Life.
00:35:13Return to the body.
00:35:15Third Holy Seal.
00:35:17Lock the darkness.
00:35:18Turn back death.
00:35:19Find the soul.
00:35:28Lord Cassian, the Holy Seals are complete.
00:35:30They're safe now.
00:35:32I really feel fine.
00:35:35I don't feel any pain at all.
00:35:37Master Healer, Phelan, your power is extraordinary.
00:35:39Ethan, this is real healing.
00:35:41A border healer like you can't compare.
00:35:44After coughing up that black blood, I feel so much lighter.
00:35:47The pain is gone too.
00:35:49Thank you, Master Healer Phelan.
00:35:51Your healing is unmatched.
00:35:54Lady Myra, your family were merely under a dark curse.
00:35:57I've suppressed it with Holy Seals.
00:35:59You're all fine now.
00:36:01Thank you, Master Healer Phelan.
00:36:04Ethan, you despicable border fraud.
00:36:06You dared put a dark curse on us?
00:36:09Kneel and apologize.
00:36:10Now.
00:36:11Master Healer Phelan has already exposed your little curse trick.
00:36:15Now it's time we settle our score.
00:36:17Exactly.
00:36:18You people truly are shameless.
00:36:20So now that you've been exposed, you're lashing out?
00:36:23I am Zeus Reborn.
00:36:24I don't rely on cheap curses.
00:36:28He only delayed Zeus' punishment for one minute.
00:36:34Stop trying to scare us.
00:36:36Give up now.
00:36:37Otherwise, I'll make sure there's nothing left of you.
00:36:41Your Holy Seals have some use.
00:36:44But Zeus' punishment cannot be undone.
00:36:47Young man, I admit your curse work is not bad.
00:36:50Too bad you chose the wrong path.
00:36:52All you know is how to scare people with cheap curses.
00:36:57Zeus may be the legendary king of gods, and his punishment may be feared.
00:37:02But no one alive has truly seen it.
00:37:05Every curse can be contained.
00:37:06Today, I'll show you.
00:37:08You'd better come over here and apologize.
00:37:11Otherwise, I'll teach you how to crawl like a dog.
00:37:16You're not worth my time.
00:37:20I'll talk.
00:37:22Lord Cassian, don't dirty your hands with this arrogant fool.
00:37:25Let me handle him.
00:37:26Leave him alive.
00:37:27I'm not done playing yet.
00:37:29Zeus' punishment begins in 30 seconds.
00:37:32Still playing God?
00:37:34I've practiced healing for over 30 years.
00:37:37I've seen every kind of trick.
00:37:39I'll seal your body and leave you crippled.
00:37:42Let's see how long you keep talking.
00:37:44Looks like Master Healing is serious now.
00:37:47That Border Healer is finished.
00:37:49What a shame. He's still young.
00:37:51He chose the wrong road. He brought this on himself.
00:37:54Ten seconds.
00:37:55At least you can count down to your own death.
00:38:00Three.
00:38:02First Holy Seal.
00:38:04Lock his legs.
00:38:17Second Holy Seal.
00:38:19Lock your throat.
00:38:20Let's see you keep playing God now.
00:38:23Third Holy Seal.
00:38:25Seal your whole body.
00:38:27Punish your arrogance.
00:38:29Kneel!
00:38:30One.
00:38:40This is impossible.
00:38:43You Border Healer.
00:38:44What did you do to me?
00:38:46Zeus' punishment cannot be reversed.
00:38:48Know your place.
00:38:53Is this Zeus' punishment?
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.
00:39:15Master Healer Felon dared stand against Zeus.
00:39:17No wonder this happened to him.
00:39:20Zeus?
00:39:21Him?
00:39:22Everyone, you've been fooled by his Black Marsh sorcery.
00:39:25Zeus' punishment?
00:39:25It'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.
00:39:36Those 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.
00:39:48Master Healer Felon served Black Roven for years and 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, today Master Healer Felon falls.
00:40:03Tomorrow it could be all of you.
00:40:05And your clans.
00:40:09Your parents, your wives, your children.
00:40:12He'll come for all of them.
00:40:15Are you done?
00:40:20Zeus' 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, how did you recognize it at
00:40:46a glance?
00:40:47Have you seen it before?
00:40:50Lord Cassian was right.
00:40:51This Black Marsh heretic is panicking.
00:40:54So now he's trying to pull others down with him.
00:40:56He's trying to pull the Black Raven clan into this.
00:41:00Everyone stay alert.
00:41:01Seize this Black Marsh heretic.
00:41:11Insolent Black Marsh heretic, you harmed my disciple.
00:41:19Surrender at once.
00:41:23Ethan, your death has come.
00:41:32Another one coming to town.
00:41:44It's Master Healer Averius!
00:41:46Felon's Master.
00:41:47Averius 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.
00:41:54That Black Marsh heretic is dead.
00:41:57Ethan, Aurarius is unmatched in healing.
00:41:59The 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.
00:42:37No one has ever survived even one move from Aurarius.
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?
00:42:54And you dare show them to me?
00:43:03Holy seal, form the bones.
00:43:05Sacred lights 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?
00:43:16Ancient wood, hear me.
00:43:18Sacred vines awaken.
00:43:19Life returns to the root.
00:43:20Earth, 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.
00:44:12From 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.
00:44:22Now 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?
00:44:39We 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.
00:44:59Anyone 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.
00:45:59Are 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?
00:46:18Anyone 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?
00:46:42Princess Alara, could you be mistaken?
00:46:44He'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?
00:46:59I 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.
00:47:52Alara, you may leave.
00:47:54I won't stop you.
00:47:55But Ethan stays here.
00:47:56You reminded me.
00:47:57I 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 Alora.
00:48:06Have you forgotten you're just a border healer?
00:48:08Isn't hiding behind power what the Silver Stair clan does best?
00:48:11Ethan, don't push your luck.
00:48:13Don't think Princess Alora'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.
00:48:55But they refuse every offer we make.
00:48:58Please plant a curse in that old king.
00:49:00Let me take Ash Royal Court for myself and fulfill my ambition.
00:49:07Darion, 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.
00:49:16Have your son bring Lady Seraphina of the Silver Stair 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 Stair clan right now.
00:49:25In 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.
00:49:54Thank you for the warning, my lord.
00:50:02Father, mother, what's wrong, mother?
00:50:07Don't scare me.
00:50:09Seraphina, are you alright?
00:50:11Ethan, you vile coward.
00:50:13You did this to my family.
00:50:15You...
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 will be still.
00:50:29Seraphina!
00:50:30This is what happens when you break an ancient marriage chat.
00:50:34What?
00:50:35You want to try too?
00:50:36If I don't kill you today, my name isn't Cassio.
00:50:42Stop!
00:50:46Ethan, my father is here.
00:50:48You're dead.
00:50:51Do you know who my father is, Men in the North?
00:50:54Darion, chief of the Blackraven clan.
00:50:56One of the most ruthless men in the North.
00:50:58Under him, the Blackraven clan has taken plenty of salt mines and forests.
00:51:01Now they dare stand against Ash Royal Court.
00:51:03Darion is ruthless.
00:51:05People 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.
00:51:20He used Blackmar sorcery to hurt people.
00:51:22He left the Silverstag family half dead and badly injured Master Healer Felon and Master Healer Aurarius.
00:51:28I wanted to hold him accountable, but Alara keeps protecting this Blackmarsh 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?
00:51:53No, father.
00:51:54You know me.
00:51:55I never start trouble outside.
00:51:57It was this Blackmarsh heretic who attacked innocent people.
00:52:00He hurt your future in-laws.
00:52:01If 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.
00:52:21Remember this.
00:52:21Do 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 Blackmarsh heretic!
00:52:32You die today!
00:52:42Father, 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 to bury.
00:53:00Father, you're out of your mind!
00:53:01This Blackmarsh heretic hurt our people first!
00:53:04He started this!
00:53:05That slap was for being too blind to recognize divine power.
00:53:09Father, have you lost your mind?
00:53:13That slap was for causing trouble and never learning your lesson.
00:53:16Father, 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?
00:53:52Lord Ethan, this is the seal to the Black Raven treasury.
00:53:56There are 100,000 gold coins inside.
00:53:58Consider it my son's apology gift.
00:54:01And the matter of the Silverstag clan?
00:54:02The Silverstag 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.
00:54:15Lord 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!
00:54:46Lord Ethan, does this arrangement satisfy you?
00:54:50You have more sense than he does.
00:54:52Fine.
00:54:52I came today only to end the Silverstag 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...
00:55:12If anyone leaks a single word of what happened today, kill them.
00:55:19Princess Alara, did you come to Black Raven Holt 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.
00:55:32The 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.
00:55:52It's nothing.
00:55:53What can a few Black Ravens and Silverstalks do to me?
00:55:58Princess Alara, you came here for another reason.
00:56:00Father 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 Silverstag clan is half dead.
00:56:26How do you plan to clean this up?
00:56:33She's just one girl from Silverstag.
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?
00:56:42What do you know?
00:56:44Seraphina has a rare frost bloodline.
00:56:46Lord 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.
00:57:20Even King Aron fears you.
00:57:22Why are you kneeling to this masked man?
00:57:29What did you do to me?
00:57:34...watching 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.
00:57:49As 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.
00:58:11She 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 fifteen minutes, I want her standing before me.
00:58:33Otherwise, you know what happens.
00:58:35I understand.
00:58:36I understand.
00:58:42Lord Ethan, you're here.
00:58:43Please 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.
00:58:54I'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.
00:59:05I came as soon as I found something.
00:59:08King Aran, speak plainly.
00:59:11Ten years ago, when my mother passed away, Ash Royal Court had just begun rising.
00:59:16We 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.
00:59:33And 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.
00:59:42Lord Ethan, you truly see through everything.
00:59:45From that day on, I would lose consciousness from time to time.
00:59:48Until I met you, Lord Ethan.
00:59:49Those were not soul-calming herbs.
00:59:51They carried the Wendigo 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,
01:00:26he asked me if I wanted revenge.
01:00:32Revenge?
01:00:33What was that about?
01:00:33Back 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.
01:00:52The first thing he asked was whether I wanted revenge.
01:00:55Did 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.
01:01:07That 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 Wendiko 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 Alara.
01:01:55Lord Morvane, 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 Alara.
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.
01:02:16Without my Black Marsh medicine, Ash Royal Court would never have become the strongest court in the North.
01:02:22In other words, in the North, I decide who lives.
01:02:26My father may have taken your medicine, but 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.
01:02:44What are you doing?
01:02:46I...
01:02:46Drink it.
01:02:47No 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...
01:03:04What did you do to me?
01:03:06Nothing 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, you die.
01:03:14But if it isn't removed, your sister dies in one hour.
01:03:19Now, I want to see which daughter King Arion chooses to save.
01:03:22Princess 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, you wouldn't survive today.
01:03:35Send 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, Princess Lyra will suffer the entire time and may even die.
01:04:03But if I don't remove it, in one hour, Princess Alara will itch all over, bleed from her eyes and
01:04:07mouth and die.
01:04:08King Arion, Morvain is forcing you to choose.
01:04:10Save Princess Alara or save Princess Lyra.
01:04:12Unforgivable.
01:04:13Cursing me wasn't enough and now he's coming after my daughters.
01:04:16But Lord Ethan, if we're saving them, we have to find Lyra within the hour.
01:04:19No need.
01:04:19Princess Lyra is already here.
01:04:22What?
01:04:23Here?
01:04:24She just went to the Black Raven Clan's East Tower trading house.
01:04:26She can't be here.
01:04:28Your Majesty, something happened.
01:04:29Princess Lyra was badly wounded and dumped outside the royal court gate.
01:04:33Put her down.
01:04:35Send 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 at the Black Raven Clan's East Tower trading house.
01:04:49Darion interrupted the meeting and had his men take me to a secret room inside Black Raven Keep.
01:04:59Darion, Cassian, and a masked man tortured me.
01:05:03That masked man placed a curse inside me.
01:05:06Lord Ethan, please save my sister.
01:05:10Princess Lyra, don't be afraid.
01:05:12I'm here.
01:05:15Darion must have a death wish.
01:05:17He dared lay hands on my daughter.
01:05:20Lyra, you said Darion and his son worked with a masked man to curse you.
01:05:24Yes.
01:05:25His name was Morvain.
01:05:29Morvain.
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, the priority is saving both princesses.
01:05:37Revenge can wait until they're safe.
01:05:38But because of the Soul Link curse, only one of them can be saved.
01:05:41Do you have a way?
01:05:42Take me 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, no matter what happens in this room later, don't let anyone come in.
01:06:03And please, prepare some fresh mint leaves for me.
01:06:06Orin, follow Lord Ethan's instructions.
01:06:10Your Majesty, fresh 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.
01:06:28Lord Ethan, the man who cursed us said only one of us can live.
01:06:32Is that true?
01:06:33Yes.
01:06:35Then save my sister.
01:06:36She'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, don'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.
01:06:49Lord Ethan, you 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 Lyra wakes, we'll talk.
01:07:03Lie down, close your eyes, and remove your outer robe.
01:07:13Thunderlight of Zeus, separate their souls.
01:07:17Darkness, withdraw.
01:07:19Life, return.
01:07:20Souls, return to your bodies.
01:07:22Soul Link curse, break apart!
01:07:27Watch out!
01:07:31Watch out!
01:07:35Ethan, you're more capable than I expected.
01:07:38You broke the Soul Link curse.
01:07:39In this world, only you could do that.
01:07:41No wonder you're Zeus reborn.
01:07:45He 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!
01:08:02What a waste!
01:08:05You wasted something that precious, just to break a curse.
01:08:10You're beyond saving.
01:08:12Unforgivable!
01:08:13Ethan!
01:08:15Lord Ethan, please save Orin.
01:08:18Orin, hold on.
01:08:20Break free from Morvena's control.
01:08:22Princess Lyra, my 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.
01:08:31I can't save him.
01:08:33What?
01:08:34Even you can't save him?
01:08:36If even you can't, who 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?
01:09:11I remember.
01:09:13You said curses are easy to break, but the human heart cannot be healed.
01:09:17Lord Ethan, what 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, King Ion sent him to kill you.
01:09:27No.
01:09:28That's impossible.
01:09:30I must still be dreaming.
01:09:32Sister, pinch me.
01:09:33Wake me up.
01:09:35Lord Ethan, this is not something you joke about.
01:09:37Ask Orin, then you'll know.
01:09:42The black flame mark behind his ear was put there by himself so I would notice it while
01:09:46he led the way.
01:09:47At first I thought he had been cursed when 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, I found no sign of any other curse on Princess Lyra.
01:09:57And Morvan is confident enough now that if he wanted to kill us, he wouldn't need such
01:10:00a complicated setup.
01:10:01So the problem lies with your father.
01:10:03Princess Lyra, your 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, your biggest mistake was 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 ruined his plan.
01:10:19What did you say?
01:10:20This was all father's plan?
01:10:21His coma was staged?
01:10:22That can't be true.
01:10:23We brought so many sacred healers to father and none of them could break his curse.
01:10:27Your father's curse was real.
01:10:28Those so-called sacred healers truly couldn't see what was wrong with him.
01:10:31But your father and Morvan have a deep connection.
01:10:34When I woke your father, I disrupted their plan.
01:10:36Since you're all about to die, I might as well tell you the truth.
01:10:39His majesty sought out Morvain himself for immortality and swallowed the Black Marsh curse
01:10:43seed willingly.
01:10:43The day the curse seed breaks out of his body is the day his majesty leaves his mortal body
01:10:47behind and becomes immortal.
01:10:48And Ethan ruined it.
01:10:51No, no, father would never do that.
01:10:54Nothing is impossible, Princess Lyra.
01:10:56You are too kind and far too easy to fool.
01:10:59In your next life, fix that weakness.
01:11:05It's done.
01:11:13Morvain, I handled Ethan for you.
01:11:15When do I get the Black Marsh curse seed you promised me?
01:11:18You are as ruthless as ever.
01:11:20For immortality, you sacrificed your wife.
01:11:22Now you are willing to sacrifice your daughter's-
01:11:24Wolves do not preach mercy.
01:11:26Great things require sacrifice.
01:11:28I want to see how much use the body of Zeus reborn still has,
01:11:31and what kind of curse seed it can reform.
01:11:58Where is my curse seed?
01:12:02Lord Morvain, that boy said he turned your soul-linked curse into medicine.
01:12:07Damn boy.
01:12:08You even dared turn my curse seed into medicine.
01:12:14Zeus's thunderlight.
01:12:16So he really isn't an ordinary border healer.
01:12:19Morvain, I delivered the man you wanted.
01:12:21Now according to our deal, give me the real Black Marsh curse seed.
01:12:25What deal?
01:12:26You're betraying me?
01:12:28I gave you Ethan and both of my daughters.
01:12:30You promised me the real Black Marsh curse seed.
01:12:32You promised to help me become immortal!
01:12:35Orion, have you forgotten who put you on that throne?
01:12:39I took you from a fallen Roarline and made you king of the north.
01:12:43And now you bring me a few corpses and think you can bargain?
01:12:48You promised me, once I gave you Ethan, you would help me become immortal.
01:12:52Their lives are worthless.
01:12:53If I want them dead, they die.
01:12:55You're the one who betrayed blood and oath.
01:12:57You sacrificed your wife, then your daughters, and now you still want immortality?
01:13:01You're too greedy.
01:13:02I can give you all of Ashroyal Court.
01:13:05Salt mines, hunting grounds.
01:13:07Take whatever you want.
01:13:09And what makes you think I care about any of that?
01:13:12Right now, he is worth more than you.
01:13:15Zeus' reborn body and the remains of the curse seed he refined are far more useful than 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 every resource Ashroyal Court has?
01:13:36Ashroyal Court is now the strongest court in the north.
01:13:39Wasn't I the one who put you on that throne?
01:13:41I can make you king, and I can make someone else king.
01:13:45You know exactly why I chose you back then.
01:13:47Because my queen had a rare frost bloodline.
01:13:50You wanted to use her as a sacrifice for your soul link, Kurt.
01:13:54You wanted my queen's life, and 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, you'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, you go through me first.
01:14:20You want to fight me?
01:14:22You don't even know how weak you are.
01:14:26Say it!
01:14:27What do you want?
01:14:28Orion, so many royal families begged me back then.
01:14:30Why did I choose a fallen prince like you?
01:14:33Because you wanted my queen's bloodline.
01:14:35That was only part of it.
01:14:36I chose you because 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 is Ashroyal Court and every resource in the north.
01:14:46If you want them, take 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, yes.
01:15:02I want your life.
01:15:04Your majesty, run!
01:15:12Such loyalty.
01:15:15Such a worthless death.
01:15:21Hello, Morvain.
01:15:23Or should I call you brother?
01:15:29Nothing is impossible, Princess Lyra.
01:15:33You're too kind and far too trusting.
01:15:35In your next life, fix that weakness.
01:15:40You think you can take my life?
01:15:42This can't be real.
01:15:43I don't believe it.
01:15:44Lyra, wake up.
01:15:45This is real.
01:15:46Since our father wants us dead,
01:15:49we need to decide what we do next.
01:15:51I just used truth thunder.
01:15:53Oren can only tell the truth now.
01:15:54Ask him anything you want.
01:15:57Oren, was everything you said just now true?
01:16:00Every word.
01:16:01Did you know Princess Lyra was tortured by the Black Raven Clan and Morvain?
01:16:06His majesty deliberately sent Princess Lyra to the Black Raven Clan's East Tower Trading House
01:16:10to investigate an old contract.
01:16:12Princesses, we are already inside the trap.
01:16:15Let's hear how many more secrets King Aran and Morvain are hiding.
01:16:17We'll follow your lead, Lord Ethan.
01:16:22Princesses, forgive me.
01:16:48Brother, brother, those little tricks of yours won't kill me.
01:16:53Morvain, I've already sealed this room with a thunder barrier.
01:16:55Don't waste your strength.
01:16:56Your Black Mar curses won't work here.
01:16:58Surrender.
01:16:59No wonder you are Zeus reborn.
01:17:01So the power of the old gods really did fall to you.
01:17:03But crushing you would take no effort.
01:17:05I'm not done playing yet, so I'll let you live today.
01:17:07Goodbye.
01:17:08Goodbye.
01:17:20King Aran, what happened today is a matter for Ashcord.
01:17:24I won't interfere, but there are things you need to tell the truth about.
01:17:28You all heard it.
01:17:31We heard.
01:17:32Father, you were willing to trade all our lives for your immortality and your throne.
01:17:36Do you even deserve to be our father?
01:17:38King Aran, that curse cannot make you immortal.
01:17:41It cannot make you a god.
01:17:42It will only keep feeding on your soul and your family's souls until your house is destroyed.
01:17:46If immortality were truly that easy, why would Morvain give it to a mortal with no divine power instead of
01:17:52keeping it for himself?
01:17:55So, I was never Morvain's chosen one.
01:17:57I was his experiment.
01:18:01When I had just taken over Ashroyal Court, I signed a major saltmine contract.
01:18:05Halfway through, our allied clan suddenly withdrew.
01:18:08It nearly destroyed us.
01:18:09I had knights to feed.
01:18:11My mother needed life-saving medicine.
01:18:12Elyra and Lyra were still young.
01:18:14Every corner of the court needed gold.
01:18:16I went to them again and again, begging them not to pull out.
01:18:19Every time, they refused.
01:18:20Just like that, the saltmine contract collapsed.
01:18:22The royal court was on the edge.
01:18:24My mother died on her sickbed.
01:18:25After I left her sickroom, I went to the altar of the old gods to ask for guidance.
01:18:28When I came out, I met Morvain.
01:18:31He asked if I wanted revenge.
01:18:32I was blinded by hate.
01:18:34I thought the old gods had answered me, so I made a deal with him.
01:18:38With all our lives as the price for your greed?
01:18:41He promised that within 15 years, I would rule the North and become immortal.
01:18:44I was young and arrogant.
01:18:46I agreed before he even finished speaking.
01:18:49And the price was your entire family's lives?
01:18:51No!
01:18:52The price was a lifetime of being alone.
01:18:54Then congratulations.
01:18:55You got exactly what you wanted.
01:18:58From now on, you will be alone for the rest of your life.
01:19:00Princess Elyra, not yet.
01:19:02Let King Orion finish.
01:19:03He gave me the price before I understood it.
01:19:06When he said the cost was a lifetime alone, I felt nothing.
01:19:09What's the difference?
01:19:10A lifetime of being alone doesn't only mean losing your family.
01:19:15It means from that day on, there was no one beside me I could trust.
01:19:19Then congratulations.
01:19:20You got exactly what you wanted.
01:19:22From now on, you will be alone for the rest of your life.
01:19:25Princess Elyra, not yet.
01:19:26Let King Orion finish.
01:19:28He gave me the price before I understood it.
01:19:30When he said the cost was a lifetime alone, I felt nothing.
01:19:34He gave me a jar of black marsh herbs and told me not to boil them or drink them, only
01:19:39to place them by the bed.
01:19:40Because of where I placed them, that very night I had a terrible fight with the Queen.
01:19:44Looking back now, that was when the price began.
01:19:48The Queen saw that thing and couldn't sleep.
01:19:51That night she slept on the fur bench in the outer hall.
01:19:55When I woke up, the herbs were still there, but the curse seed inside them was gone.
01:20:00If I'm right, that curse seed was never meant for you.
01:20:02It was meant for your Queen, because she carried the rare frost bloodline.
01:20:06At first, there were no signs at all.
01:20:07Then, after Lyra turned 18, the Queen suddenly coughed blood in the Royal Court inner chamber and died.
01:20:13When I prepared her body, I regretted making that deal.
01:20:17I found him and told him the deal was off.
01:20:19I said I wanted out.
01:20:21You only saw what you gained.
01:20:23You never understood what 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 in the North.
01:20:34And after that?
01:20:36Ash Royal Court grew stronger by the day.
01:20:39It did not even take 15 years.
01:20:41It became the strongest Royal Court in the North.
01:20:44Princess Lyra's illness, in a way, also came from you.
01:20:48Yes.
01:20:49It came from me.
01:20:51But I had no way back.
01:20:53All I could do was keep moving forward.
01:20:56Give them the best of everything.
01:20:58Material things.
01:20:59To make up for what I owed them.
01:21:02I would rather have lived poor than watch our family fall apart.
01:21:06Be torn to pieces.
01:21:07Illness can be healed.
01:21:09Desire is harder to remove.
01:21:11That's because you'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, who built everything with you from nothing?
01:21:18Sometimes, for the future of a kingdom, one person's sacrifice means nothing.
01:21:23You're beyond saving.
01:21:24You're not the father I knew.
01:21:28At this point, I only want to step down and leave Ash Court behind.
01:21:32The Blackstone Royal Token.
01:21:35Whoever holds it speaks with the King's authority.
01:21:38From this day on, Ash Royal Court is yours to command.
01:21:49This filthy thing.
01:21:51Let it rot.
01:21:55Ten Ash Royal Courts could never buy back Mother's life.
01:22:00Elara, you are exactly like I was when I first took over the Royal Court.
01:22:03Fearless.
01:22:04But one day you'll understand.
01:22:06Reality will crush you until you can't breathe.
01:22:09And this token is the weapon that lets you survive it.
01:22:12Lyra, come here.
01:22:13Let your father hold you one last time.
01:22:15If only your mother were here now.
01:22:24Father, father, father.
01:22:30Princesses, the dead cannot return.
01:22:32King Orion had already taken poison.
01:22:34We were here the whole time.
01:22:35When did he take it?
01:22:36He knew he had too many enemies in the North.
01:22:39If he ever fell into their hands.
01:22:40It was his last shred of dignity.
01:22:42Lord Ethan, you can save people.
01:22:44Please, you have to save him.
01:22:45There's still time.
01:22:48Father.
01:22:49He knew he had too many enemies in the North.
01:22:52If he ever fell into their hands.
01:22:54He hid it in his tooth.
01:22:55It was his final foul back.
01:22:57Princess Lyra, King Orion's belief in immortality has shattered.
01:23:00He caused the Queen's death and nearly killed both of you.
01:23:03Even if I brought him back, I'm afraid.
01:23:05This is not the time to cry.
01:23:06Handle father's funeral and the court's affairs.
01:23:09Lord Ethan and I will settle the score with Morvan.
01:23:11Princess Alara, you truly are King Orion's daughter.
01:23:14Calm under pressure.
01:23:15Born to rule.
01:23:16Princess Alara, not yet.
01:23:20Morvan's Black Marsh curses are strange.
01:23:22If we go now without preparation, we're just walking to our deaths.
01:23:26I have something for you.
01:23:27What is this?
01:23:29Toad Blyle Powder.
01:23:30Once applied, it's colorless and odorless, but deadly to Black Marsh curse bugs.
01:23:34Think of it as armor for your body.
01:23:39I thought it over.
01:23:41Better to end a threat before it spreads.
01:23:44If I leave you alone, sooner or later you'll ruin everything.
01:23:49So, Ethan, die.
01:23:52Perfect.
01:23:53Saves me the trouble of finding you.
01:23:55Give me back my mother's life!
01:23:58Give me back my curse, Sina.
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 cast curses?
01:24:20Didn't he set up a thunder barrier here?
01:24:22To me, it makes no difference.
01:24:25You think this boy is powerful enough to break down my curse?
01:24:29Ridiculous.
01:24:30If you want it so badly, I'll give it back.
01:24:32By my thunder light.
01:24:34Open the path back.
01:24:38My curse bugs, why are they gone?
01:24:40How do you know the Black Marsh curse tongue?
01:24:42I am Zeus Reborn.
01:24:44No dark art stays hidden from me.
01:24:45I've seen through your curse work, Morvayne.
01:24:47You miscalculated.
01:24:49Then I'll take the souls you protect and repair my broken one.
01:24:54These are motion hunting curse bugs.
01:24:57They attack anything alive that moves.
01:25:00Once they stick to you for 30 seconds, you'll be nothing but bones.
01:25:03They leave the flesh untouched.
01:25:06They only eat the bones.
01:25:08After you die, I'll make cloaks from your skin.
01:25:15Ethan, do you know why you became Zeus Reborn?
01:25:21Morvan, you use curse bugs to devour other people's lives and repair your own broken soul.
01:25:26So what?
01:25:27The strong survive by devouring the weak.
01:25:30You're right.
01:25:31So today, it's your turn to be devoured.
01:25:40Don't you dare!
01:25:41Black Marsh, open!
01:25:43Curse Blood, awaken!
01:25:44Take his soul and make his power mine!
01:25:47Thunder, shatter the darkness!
01:25:52My curse bugs.
01:25:54How did they disappear?
01:25:56Sister!
01:25:57Let's see if you're willing to kill her just to destroy me.
01:26:00Ethan, what are you waiting for?
01:26:02Do it!
01:26:03If my life can take this monster down, it's worth it.
01:26:06Brother, join me.
01:26:08You command divine healing.
01:26:10I command Black Marsh curses.
01:26:13Together, this whole world could be ours.
01:26:15Everyone chooses their own path.
01:26:16I won't steal another life to change mine.
01:26:19In all my life, you're the only one who has ever dared refuse me, Ethan.
01:26:23Then die with her!
01:26:26Impossible!
01:26:27How do you know the strongest Black Marsh curse?
01:26:29You're wrong.
01:26:31To you, this is the strongest Black Marsh cursed.
01:26:34To me, it's nothing.
01:26:36Spend the rest of your life inside my inner prison.
01:26:39No!
01:26:40No!
01:26:41No!
01:26:42No!
01:26:49You're awake.
01:26:51Are you all right?
01:26:52Are you hurt?
01:26:53Where is Morvayne?
01:26:55I'm fine.
01:26:56I trapped him inside my inner prison.
01:26:59He will spend the rest of his life there.
01:27:01Sister!
01:27:02Sister!
01:27:02Sister!
01:27:03Sister!
01:27:05Sister!
01:27:06Sister!
