TVTranscript
00:07Theon! Mortal!
00:09You rabid, sixteen temples of the sun, three thousand ordained priests, sacrilege beyond redemption.
00:17What do you have to say for yourself?
00:22Say what?
00:24Stubborn to the end.
00:26Pythias, High Priestess of Apollo, I authorize you! Make him talk!
00:37Is that it?
00:38The god it's pet can't even swing a whip without running out of breath.
00:44Now that's a spy. Haven't seen balls like that on this mountain since Prometheus swiped the fire.
00:49Oh, look who trolled out, the mighty conqueror of the twelve labors himself.
00:54Zeus calls, you ghost him every time, but one mortal's about to get his head lopped off, and suddenly here
00:59you are like a stray dog that caught the scent of blood?
01:01I bled for my godhead, twelve trials, twelve kills! Not like some pretty boy who got invisible cause mommy dunked
01:08him in a river.
01:09I'm here to watch a man die!
01:13Problem?
01:14Whatever helps you sleep at night, big guy.
01:17Enough! Cut off his limbs, drain him of every last drop of Demgard blood, and throw what's left into the
01:25abyss.
01:27You old bastard, Chaos. I crawled through the pits of hell just to reach you. Thought maybe, just maybe, I'd
01:36finally have enough to spit in the face of fate. Fought my way through all of it, and it still
01:43wasn't enough.
01:43A whole mountain of false gods, and here I am in chains. That spark you gave me, looks like it
01:50dies today.
01:51Wretched little mud-borne creature. The gods put bread in your mouths, and this is how you repay them? By
01:58sinking your teeth into the hand that feeds you?
02:09Your blade split Apollo's golden idol in half. Sixteen holy temples. Ash. Thousands of his anointed priests choking on their
02:20own blood.
02:21Your soul belongs in the Magna. Let it burn for all eternity.
02:27Three thousand leeches who fatten on the blood of the poor. I put them down, and I do it again.
02:44Silence, wretch. You torched holy ground, butchered priests by the hundreds, and you still have the gall to run your
02:49mouth on this tribunal.
02:50Who gave you the right to judge me, Poseidon? When the plague tore through Athens and ten thousand people rotted
02:56in the streets, where was your precious light then?
02:59People were dying in the gutters. Couldn't even get a handful of herbs. And what did your temple of light
03:05do?
03:06Sent down an oracle demanding the poor hand over their last shrep of food.
03:11Kimmeras were snatching children from their beds, and you didn't lift a finger!
03:18Then you had the nerve to call it... What was it? Oh, right. A trial ordained by Apollo!
03:29Your so-called divine authority feeds on the living, drinks from the dying.
03:33Every last one I find, I'll rip apart with my bare hands.
03:37A covenant is supposed to be a fair trade. Take the mortal's grain, then let them feed the beasts?
03:43Delhi's been double-dipped. But frankly, it's getting a bit ugly.
03:47The kid's right! If it were me, I'd have tossed those white-robed cowards into my forge and hammered them
03:53into scrap metal.
03:54One by goddamn one!
03:56Sit down. This is a tribunal, not your forge.
04:03What are you to question the gods?
04:06If the Lord of Light demands an entire city burn with him, that is the honor those insects should be
04:12grateful for.
04:13Your worthless bones paved the road into his throne. That is fate's gift to you!
04:18Privilege? My only regret is I wasn't fast enough.
04:22Should have burned Apollo's eight and you with it, you deranged old hag.
04:25Heretic!
04:27Lord Poseidon, this creature's soul is rotted beyond salvation.
04:31As High Priestess of the Temple of Light, I invoke the Well of Truth, the mirror that reflects all cause
04:37and consequences.
04:38Let it end this farce once and for all!
04:44Truth? The Well of Truth?
04:47High Priestess, strip him of his demigod power.
04:51Banish him to the wastelands of Hades.
04:54That sentence is more than enough to pay for the Temple's losses.
04:58There's no need to invoke the Well.
04:59Lord Postein! He drowned Apollo's sacred flame in his own filthy blood!
05:04He fed the profited oracles to the vultures!
05:07And now he stands before the gods and spits on the glory of the sun!
05:11Mere exile! How does that cleanse sacrilege of this magnitude?
05:15Once the Well of Truth opens, it rips a soul's fate threads wide open by force.
05:21Unleashing a judgment of the Twelve upon a mere demigod.
05:24It's out of proportion. It breaks protocol.
05:29Protocol? Then explain this.
05:31How does a nobody from the Slim survive ten years fighting in the deepest pit of Tartus?
05:37How does a mortal ascend to demigod?
05:39Something is hiding behind him. Something heretical.
05:44What the hell is this hag getting at?
05:46Don't play hero.
05:48She wants the Well to expose whoever trained him, whoever's been protecting him,
05:53and nail them to this tribunal right next to him.
05:56Make no mistake.
05:58This is Apollo moving the pieces.
06:02Oh, this is rich.
06:04Can't crush one little mortal, so now they want to dig up whoever taught him and put them on trial
06:10too?
06:10Real classy move, Temple of Light.
06:13Lord Poseidon, the Temple of Light won't back down.
06:17Deny them this, and Apollo's fury will be difficult to contain.
06:22Perhaps it's wiser to let them see it through.
06:29The High Priestess insists.
06:31So be it.
06:33Granted.
06:34Well of Truth, descend!
06:39Bring it on!
06:41I stared down the monsters in the abyss.
06:43You think I'm scared of your little splash?
06:45Pour it all out.
06:46Let's see who really swirls when the truth hits the mirror!
06:50Ha ha ha ha ha!
06:52Absolute madman.
06:53That's what I wild wolf who doesn't know the rules and doesn't give a damn.
06:57Just goes for the throat and never lets go!
07:00Crazy?
07:01This kid's got nothing on you.
07:03Remember when you shot an arrow at the Sun God's chariot just across a damn sea?
07:07And then you beat Death himself into the dirt with your bare fists.
07:12Wrestled Alklektius' soul right out of his hands.
07:17Piss off!
07:18Stop bringing up my old crap.
07:22Back up, back up.
07:24That lunatic is fiercely protective.
07:26He once tied up Thanius and beat the living daylights out of him.
07:28Tell me about it.
07:30Not even Zeus can keep him on a sleash.
07:34Hercules!
07:35Stow your tavern-browl theastrix!
07:38This is the sacred tribunal!
07:40One more word out of you, you old shrick!
07:43And I'll rip what's left of your precious temple apart with my bare hands!
07:47Right now!
07:48Ha ha ha!
07:49All of you, shut up!
07:52Listen well, Theron.
07:54If the mirror proves your hands are clean, I'll grant you a quick death.
07:57But if that water shows you've been hiding behind justice for mortals while serving your own ends...
08:04I will drive this trident through your chest myself.
08:07And what's left of your soul, I'll carve into pieces and feed to Cerberus.
08:13Let the gods witness!
08:15Which wretched, suicidal hair attack dared raise a creature who desiccates the light?
08:28Theron!
08:29Keep that Velos going!
08:31If I'm not back by nightfall, you head north.
08:34Beg, Grohl, do whatever it takes.
08:36Just stay alive!
08:37Don't go!
08:38It's the Hydra in those swamps!
08:40It's blood through stone!
08:41That Demophode picked his own fight!
08:43Why should you die for it?
08:49Let go of me!
08:51Hercules went out there to protect us!
08:53He's pinned down by the venom now!
08:56No fire, no way out!
08:57He's dead for sure!
09:05Hercules!
09:06I brought the fire!
09:08I brought the fire!
09:10Immortal!
09:11Get out of here!
09:12The air is pure venom!
09:14You'll be dead before you reach me!
09:16Catch it!

12:11it wouldn't buy you a single drop of apollo's holy water every promise the gods made was a lie
12:19i should have let the hydra's venom melt that glorious hero into a puddle of rot
12:26this is the price of meddling in the trials of olympia
12:30fate has decreed that you rot where you stand
12:33this is everything we have we sold everything for this
12:37every last coin goes to the temple please just one drop of holy water for my grandfather

13:55my grandfather took that poison for your olympian
13:59this is the ending the mores have written
14:01the old blacksmith tampered with a divine trial
14:04this rotting flesh is the punishment he was meant to bear

14:22favor if your kingdom be achieved
14:38let me feel free
14:50Grandpa, don't close your eyes.
14:52Look at me.
15:04Seventy years.
15:06That little boy in the blizzard
15:07who couldn't buy a single drop of holy water.
15:11That was you.
15:13I bet the Temple of Light was heartbroken when I didn't have the Dixancy to freeze to death out there
15:20Told you Apollo breeds nothing but bloodsuckers like here
15:25Say the word big man. I can have a raiding party at Delphi's gates by sundown leave nothing but ash
15:35Achilles stand down Hercules look where you are
15:39Reign in your power now
15:42Craft of the forge I gave that to mankind with my own hands that old blacksmith was my disciple among
15:49mortals
15:50Pythria your precious temple. Let him die like a dog in the snow
15:56The Temple of Light thought it was putting a mortal on trial in reality
16:01You've been poking a demigann and Breserta into drawing his weapon
16:09Oh
16:10Damn you Temple of Light
16:14This is blasphemy against Lord Apollo
16:25Your petty debts don't outweigh the blood of a thousand prophets Hercules
16:32The wheels of fate do not turn backward
16:36For some gutter-born nobody
16:39For some gutter-born nobody
16:42To hell with
16:43Vendite
16:46I bled out in those twelve trials
16:49So you could sit pretty in your temple that old blacksmith
16:54Caught the hydra's venom for me and your people ground him into dust
17:11This mirror shows me the old man's kin suffered even one more indignity
17:16I will snap every pillar on this tribunal and shove them them down your throats
17:22Lord Apollo
17:24Send the sun chariots
17:26This mad beast will tear Olympus apart
17:31High Priestess
17:33You unchained this beast
17:35Now
17:36Do you still dare look deeper into that well?
17:40Tear it open!
17:41Rip his soul bare!
17:43I want every god here to see
17:45Exactly who gave this monster the power to slay the divine!
17:51Oh, this is getting good
17:53Athena
17:54Ten gold coins says the sun god himself shows up before the hour's out
18:01Achilles
18:01Achilles
18:02Reign in your bloodlust
18:03Sheath
18:05The
18:06Sword
18:08Perseus
18:09Put down that rusty pig stipper of yours
18:12Grab the Medusa shield and get to the tribunal
18:15Things are about to get
18:17Divine
18:31Hold on!
18:32That rusty blade in his hands!
18:34That's the old blacksmith's craft!
18:35No doubt about it!
18:36But who took that scrap metal and honed it into a weapon that can kill gods?
18:44Which means whoever reforged his mortal bones is someone else entirely
18:49Hercules, you killed the Hydra barely 70 years ago
18:5570 years isn't nearly enough for a half frozen mortal runt to become a monster who carves through high priests
19:02like lambs
19:03Who did he meet down in that abyss?
19:0770 years to cross the line between mortal and divine
19:10That's open defiance of the loom of fate
19:14Ha ha ha! Drop the act!
19:16That move he pulled just now, it's a dead ringer for you ripping the nemean lion apart bare handed
19:21Come on, fess up! He's your secret apprentice, isn't he?
19:25You taught him how to put gods under his boot
19:28Shut it! I don't even know his name!
19:36Faithia, this mortal has already cracked open the laws of Olympus
19:40You keep pulling on that thread, tracing his power back to its source
19:44And you might just drag the sun god himself off as his high horse
19:47I don't care! Fate's judgement cannot be halted!
19:52I want every god here to see who's been pulling the strings
19:55Who gave wretch wretch the nerve to kill god?
19:59Well of truth, accelerate the trace now!
20:10Stop!
20:11Pythias, the presence inside the mirror has changed
20:14This is not the power of Olympus
20:26Don't think you can hide behind illusions!
20:29Trace the sauce off!
20:31I want every god here to see who gave this mortal the power to slaughter the anointed!
20:41Well, well, a little beggar
20:44Hercules, if this kid were really your apprentice
20:47You'd have slapped him into paste by now, wouldn't you?
20:52Shut your mouth!
20:54If I'd trained him, every last one of these temple rats
20:57Would have had their necks snapped already
20:59They wouldn't still be standing here flapping their lips!
21:25Get lost!
21:26You and your Hydra poison filth!
21:29Don't you dare defile Apollo's holy ground!
21:32Please, sir!
21:33My grandfather took that poison saving Hercules!
21:36We gave everything we had, please!
21:39Just one drop of holy water!
21:41Does the god of light only save the rich?
21:46Your handful of scrap copper wouldn't buy a single brick of this temple!
21:51He got poisoned because he deserved it!
21:55The god of light never shelters beggars!
22:00Enough!
22:04The gods are merciful
22:06Please save my grandfather!
22:08I'll do anything!
22:16Dead men have no value!
22:19But you!
22:19You can still be useful as livestock!
22:39Not even the sacred waters of Castipia can scrub the stench off this gutter rat!
22:46Then stop wasting it!
22:48Hand him a blade and send him to the bone pit on the back hill!
22:51That's where something like him belongs!
22:58Who said you could sleep?
22:59Tonight is the night of omens!
23:06Kneel before the sacred flame and hold this coin in your mouth!
23:11Three days!
23:12If the coin drops, or if you so much as close your eyes,
23:16I'll gouge them out and offer them to the sun god myself!
23:25The long night has passed!
23:28Did the great Apollo, Dean, to send you even a whisper of prophecy?
23:39The god bestowed his grace!
23:41And you have nothing to show for it!
23:45You shoved a coin in my mouth!
23:47How was I supposed to talk?
23:50Talking back now?
23:52You think you deserve to speak with the god?
23:54Get out there and live every pedestal of every column in this courtyard!
23:58All 100 of them clean!
24:03This is what you call divine mercy?
24:06Making a seven-year-old kid lick stone pillars?
24:09Silence!
24:10Mortals are born with sin!
24:12The Temple of Light was cleansing his corruption!
24:14This is a divine trial!
24:17A trial?
24:18Why doesn't Apollo go try it himself?
24:22That old blacksmith was my disciple!
24:25And you lot trampled his grandson like this?
24:32How delightful!
24:33Priests who preach divine oracles by day and play demons by night!
24:37Tell me, Pythia, any guesses how this kid survived all that?
24:41How he survived doesn't matter!
24:45Those who defile the gods belong in Taurasus!
25:07A filthy pig wants to eat meat?
25:10Where is your reverence for the gods?
25:38Where is your reverence for the gods?
25:47Who said you could sleep?
25:50Copy the divine scriptures 100 times.
25:55Miss a single word and I break a rib.
25:59Your grandfather took that poison for the gods.
26:04Why wouldn't they even give him a scrap of bread?
26:08A common blacksmith?
26:10Dying for the gods?
26:12That's more glory than scub like him ever deserved!
26:18Now write!
26:30Glory he didn't deserve!
26:33That's the doctrine of your precious temple of light!
26:38This is merely the necessary trial to purge mortal weakness.
26:43He refused to be civilized!
26:47Horseshit!
26:47Make him or sleep in a cellar!
26:51And dousing him with ice water!
26:54You're worse than the demons in Tauras!
26:59Riveting stuff, High Priestess.
27:01The mirror's not done yet.
27:03Care to wager what other heartwarming mercies are coming next?
27:08Priestess Pythira, the code of Olympias is clear.
27:11Unprovoked abuse of a minor under temple sanctuary is a capital offense.
27:15Perseus!
27:17Watch your tongue!
27:18Abused!
27:19This was an internal ruling of the temple!
27:24Want the broth?
27:25Then say it loud.
27:27Admit that your village was cursed because your parents were greedy.
27:31Tried to hoard her offerings meant for the gods!
27:35Admit that your grandfather was gnawed by wild dogs
27:38because he was arrogant enough to think a mortal's iron could beat fate.
27:42Lies!
27:43My grandfather was a hero!
27:48A hero?
27:49A stinking blacksmith?
27:51Take your tainted bloodline and go lap up the mud where you belong!
28:08Unforgivable!
28:09That old blacksmith took poison for the gods!
28:13And you wouldn't even give him a burial mat!
28:17Apollo!
28:18Show yourself!
28:20Now!
28:22Scarding broth poured over a child's head.
28:25Is this your idea of glorious divine scripture?
28:33My arrows have pierced every manner of beast, but I've never seen anything more vile than the creatures in your
28:40temple!
28:58My fellow gods, mortals are born in sin.
29:02Without the crucible of suffering, how can they be worthy to gaze upon the light?
29:07This...
29:08This...
29:08Is education.
29:17Education!
29:18That old man saved my life!
29:21And you, you sanctonious animals!
29:24Enough!
29:25Both of you!
29:28Are Apollo, the web of lies your servants wove in the mortal world, you'd better start explaining!
29:35Zeus, calm yourself!
29:37Strictly treaking, Apollo was mere enforcing the Iron Law that fate cannot be reversed.
29:41Using scalding broth to demonstrate divine authority, that is the absolute power Olympus granted them.
29:49Ha!
29:50So the Iron Law of the Temple of Light comes down to hiding behind temple walls and tormenting a child.
29:57Someone should drag these noble priests to the front lines.
30:00See how much of Troy their precious broth can sculpt.
30:04Silence!
30:04The well of truth hasn't finished its trace.
30:07Keep watching.
30:12Still bitter about your pathetic bloodline?
30:15The more eyes cursed you and your kind the day you were born.
30:20Before sundown, fill the olive kiln on the back hill to the brim.
30:24Miss a single log, and I'll skin you alive and leave you for the wolves.
30:28Hmph!
30:36Hmph!
30:41Hmph!
30:42Oh!
30:58You haven't even lost your baby teeth, kid.
31:01Trying to outdo Hercules and his twelve labors all by yourself?
31:04You don't to you.
31:08I don't need anyone's pity!
31:18One day, I'm going to burn the Temple of Light to the ground!
31:23Rage alone won't even ruffle Apollo's cloak.
31:26If you truly want to make a god bleed, find the centaur Kidron on Mount Pelion.
31:32He'll point you toward the Echo Rift, at the edge of the world where Tartarus whispers back.
31:46That Kidron slows.
31:48He actually jumped into the Echo Rift of Tartarus.
31:51Is he the one, the last disciple Chaos ever took?
31:57My Sun Chariot patrols every inch of the Earth.
32:01There's no rift beyond my sight.
32:03The deepest floor of Tartarus devours even a god's divine sense.
32:07A mere mortal jumping in should have been reduced to ass ash!
32:11The Echo Rift.
32:12A domain the Mori's meme has never touched.
32:15It exists beyond the jurisdiction of Olympus entirely.
32:19An absolute void.
32:20Quiet!
32:22Beyond the dominion of sky and sea, there lies a chaos more ancient than any of us.
32:28The Well of Truth does not lie.
32:30Keep watching, and see what this Munal dragged out of the abyss.
32:34The Kasterian Spring, corrupted?
32:37What force on this Earth dares blind the gaze of the Sun God?
32:42This isn't a veil, Apollo.
32:44The Well draws its power from the Mori, and their reach cannot penetrate this void.
32:49A corner where even fate cannot leave.
32:51What lies buried there is an atrocity so ancient that even Zeus refuses to speak its name.
32:58The things that were cracking to Mother Gaia's belly before the War of Titans?
33:03The primordial horrors?
33:07A mortal insect.
33:10Three winters have shredded your skin and bone, yet failed to freeze your arrogance.
33:18The abyss does not harbor vermin.
33:21Take this.
33:22A drop of crystallized Titan blood.
33:25Enough to make your husk hard as bronze.
33:29Go play tyrant in the mortal world for a few centuries.
33:33Bask in their growling, and stop disturbing my sleep.
33:36I crawled here over a mountain of corpses, not to become another one of your divine puppets.
33:42I want the forbidden knowledge.
33:43I want the kind of power that can drag the thrones of Olympias straight into the pit.
33:50Ten years.
33:51The toxic breath of the abyss should have ground your bones to dust.
33:55And instead it forged you into a vessel for chaos.
34:00The blade that truly pierces a god's throne is forged from mortal despair and mortal curses.
34:07The mortal called Theron is dead.
34:10Now take this cursed shell of yours, crawl back into the abyss and sharpen your fangs.
34:21As you wish, master.
34:26And when I climb back out, I'm taking the sun god's head with me.
34:36The well of truth can't even identify that black fog?
34:40Nothing in existence should be able to hide from the mirror!
34:44My light was obliterated in that domain.
34:46The shadow in the mirror doesn't even exist within the laws of this world.
34:50It was born before light and order themselves.
34:53The primordial chaos.
34:54Naturally, the mirror cannot reflect what predates reflection itself.
34:58Chaos?
34:59The origin of all things?
35:01This mere mortal knocked on the door of the primordial void itself?
35:08Ha ha ha ha!
35:09What a beast!
35:10A mortal body!
35:11And he clawed his way into the school of chaos itself!
35:14So tell me, Apollo, do you finally realize what kind of monster you created?
35:18Shut your mouth!
35:19A herrick tainted by the forbidden chaos!
35:21Olympus cannot allow him to breathe!
35:33Put away your fire, Apollo.
35:35He's not some mortal you can torch on a whim anymore.
35:39Inside that body flows blood older than Olympus itself, the blood of the primordial.
35:45Lord Poseidon is right.
35:46The moray cannot interfere with the shadow primordial chaos left behind.
35:51My lords, we may have stumbled upon a tumor we cannot cut out.
35:59The Temple of Light will never tolerate defiling of authority!
36:04Cast him down to the deepest pit of Tartarus immediately!
36:11Olympus is stiff of that old thing in the void.
36:13Fine, I get it.
36:14But you're a disciple of chaos too.
36:16So why are you sitting there like a log?
36:19You actually bear the signal.
36:21I do.
36:21But Heracles, this mortal shell of mine, can't hold the chaos flame much longer.
36:26Swallow your despair and choke on it!
36:28You and I are of the same bloodline, chaos's own.
36:31I will not let you die on these hypocrites!
36:34Stay!
36:35If Apollo drops the blade today, I'll flip this entire mountain before I let it fall!
36:41Deal.
36:42Enough!
36:43The well of truth ends here!
