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.
00:01:55The 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 it.
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.
00:02:28Stranger, who are you?
00:02:29Ethan, a forest healer.
00:02:31The royal court needs someone who can save the king, not a wandering healer selling tricks at the gate.
00:02:37Ten years ago, your father collapsed once at the Black Marsh border.
00:02:43Since then, every new moon and full moon, he falls into a coma.
00:02:47Tonight, once the moon rises, the 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.
00:03:07You'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.
00:03:52You'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?
00:03:57Yes.
00:03:59Fine. I'll take you in.
00:04:01If you remember this, you lie to me, my sister will make sure you die inside the royal court.
00:04:06Lead the way.
00:04:12Father, when you led the northern clans into the Black Marsh,
00:04:15everyone lowered their heads at the sound of Ash's war 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.
00:04:38Princess Alara,
00:04:39We can cure King Orion.
00:04:45Princess Alara, don't lose hope.
00:04:48I can save King Orion.
00:04:51I am Salona,
00:04:53High Healer of Bonecraft.
00:04:54At your service, Princess Alara.
00:04:56This is Mira,
00:04:57a Master of Sacred Runes,
00:04:59and Rowan,
00:05:00a Spirit Curse Healer.
00:05:02Welcome, healers.
00:05:04We came in responses to the royal blood oath decree.
00:05:08Princess Alara,
00:05:09if we wake King Orion,
00:05:11will we truly receive the granaries,
00:05:12the northern hunting grounds,
00:05:14the 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,
00:05:21the King will wake.
00:05:23Then I place my father's life in your hands.
00:05:27I've heard Mira never needs more than three runes.
00:05:29Let's see if that legend holds.
00:05:31The more runes I can bear,
00:05:33the 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.
00:05:53Mira,
00:05:54I gave you the first chance,
00:05:56and you wasted it.
00:05:57Step aside.
00:05:59Three breaths.
00:06:00That 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,
00:06:10but 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,
00:06:26don't lose hope yet.
00:06:27They may not see the answer.
00:06:31I still can.
00:06:37I can bring the King back from the edge of death.
00:06:40This is my clan's strongest curse pearl.
00:06:44If King Orion has even one breath left,
00:06:46I can pull him back.
00:06:53Stop.
00:06:59You dare interrupt the King's healer?
00:07:01Do you have any idea where you are?
00:07:04Sister,
00:07:04his 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
00:07:17thinks he can decide King Orion's fate?
00:07:19Sister,
00:07:20I didn't believe him at first either.
00:07:21But the moment he saw me,
00:07:23he knew about the pain I've been hiding.
00:07:25He isn't an ordinary healer.
00:07:26He understands healing arts
00:07:28and he can see curse energy.
00:07:30Father won't survive until nightfall.
00:07:32I can't just stand here
00:07:32and wait for the ancestors to take him.
00:07:35Princess Alara,
00:07:36three healers from the sacred altar
00:07:37are standing right here.
00:07:39Bringing 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
00:07:55that has already been hollowed out.
00:07:59The royal court would rather trust
00:08:01a stranger from the forest
00:08:03than we have no reason
00:08:04to accept this royal blood oak decree.
00:08:05Rowan, please stay!
00:08:07Your name has reached the west bank
00:08:09and 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!
00:08:23Sister!
00:08:24They can't hurt me.
00:08:26If Princess Alara refuses to listen,
00:08:28I'll leave.
00:08:29But after I'm gone,
00:08:30King Orion will not survive
00:08:32tonight's moonrise.
00:08:35When that happens,
00:08:36not even the gods above
00:08:37will be able to pull his soul back!
00:08:39Trying to scare us
00:08:40with old ancestor tales now?
00:08:42I doubt you can even say
00:08:44what illness King Orion has.
00:08:46Of course I can't.
00:08:47Because King Orion
00:08:48is not sick at all.
00:08:53King Orion has been unconscious
00:08:55on that bed
00:08:56and you claim he isn't sick?
00:08:58Lying in front of a king
00:08:59takes nerve.
00:09:00You're just a wandering healer
00:09:01trying to make your name
00:09:02through the royal decree.
00:09:05Ethan!
00:09:07If you can save father,
00:09:08prove it now.
00:09:10If my sister's oath
00:09:11is not enough,
00:09:12I am willing to join
00:09:13the same marriage pact
00:09:14with you.
00:09:15So that's it.
00:09:17You came for the marriage pact
00:09:19and the royal court's lands.
00:09:21With the three of us here today,
00:09:22we'll expose him
00:09:23for what he is
00:09:24and show the royal court
00:09:25that healing arts
00:09:26are not something
00:09:26anyone can fake.
00:09:28I thought you simply
00:09:29couldn't break the curse.
00:09:30I didn't realize
00:09:31you couldn't even see it.
00:09:33He is under
00:09:33the ancient Wendigo curse.
00:09:35The Wendog curse?
00:09:36What is that?
00:09:37An ancient evil spirit
00:09:38from the depths
00:09:38of the Black Marsh.
00:09:40It feeds on souls,
00:09:41fear, greed,
00:09:43and the blood of kings.
00:09:46At first,
00:09:47the cursed person sleeps,
00:09:48fears the cold,
00:09:49and dreams of black antlers.
00:09:50Then the soul
00:09:51is eaten away
00:09:52piece by piece.
00:09:53Once the soul is gone,
00:09:55he may never truly wake again.
00:09:56The Wendog will wear
00:09:57the king's body
00:09:58and sit on his throne.
00:09:59Then the border royal court
00:10:00will fall into chaos.
00:10:02Every clan
00:10:03will turn on the others.
00:10:04Impossible.
00:10:05You expect the Ash Court
00:10:07to believe that story
00:10:08just because you said it?
00:10:09Princess Alara,
00:10:10remove him at once.
00:10:12The royal decreed
00:10:12and the honor of the Ash Court
00:10:14cannot be dragged down
00:10:14by some wandering fraud.
00:10:17But...
00:10:18father's symptoms
00:10:19match everything he said.
00:10:23Ethan,
00:10:24please save my father!
00:10:26Don't touch him yet.
00:10:27According to the old altar scrolls,
00:10:29the Wendog curse
00:10:30is forbidden magic
00:10:30from the deepest part
00:10:31of the Black Marsh.
00:10:34But that curse
00:10:35was sealed inside
00:10:36the Black Marsh
00:10:3750 years ago
00:10:37by the northern clans.
00:10:39It should not exist anymore.
00:10:40How would a forest healer
00:10:41know about it?
00:10:42Princess Alara,
00:10:43I suspect he was sent
00:10:44by the Black Marsh.
00:10:45He may be the one
00:10:46who brought this curse
00:10:47into the royal court.
00:10:48A fraud like him
00:10:49should be hanged!
00:10:50Ethan,
00:10:51who are you really?
00:10:52Princess Alara,
00:10:53trust me
00:10:54and I will save the king.
00:10:56Refuse me
00:10:56and I walk out
00:10:57of the royal court.
00:10:58Sister,
00:10:59if he were with the Black Marsh
00:11:00he would not have stopped
00:11:01Rowan's curse pearl.
00:11:02The three healers
00:11:03have no answer.
00:11:04Right now,
00:11:05he is our only chance.
00:11:07If Princess Alara
00:11:08trusts a fraud,
00:11:09the royal court
00:11:10may pay the price for it.
00:11:12But,
00:11:12in ten years
00:11:13no one has ever named
00:11:14my father's symptoms
00:11:15this clearly.
00:11:17Ethan,
00:11:18I'll give you one chance.
00:11:21For Princess Lyra's trust
00:11:23I will save King Orion.
00:11:27This room is not safe
00:11:29for removing the curse.
00:11:30If you want him saved
00:11:30Princess Alara
00:11:31must come with me
00:11:31to the royal bedroom.
00:11:36I knew it!
00:11:37You were never here
00:11:38to save the king.
00:11:39You had your eyes
00:11:40on the princess
00:11:41from the start.
00:11:42I have trained
00:11:43at the sacred altar
00:11:43for years.
00:11:44I have never heard
00:11:45of a cure
00:11:46that must be performed
00:11:47away from everyone else.
00:11:48Princess Alara,
00:11:49he's using the king's
00:11:50illness as an excuse
00:11:50to get close to you.
00:11:51To draw the Wendigo out
00:11:52I need someone
00:11:53from his bloodline.
00:11:54When royal blood is near
00:11:55the curse will leave
00:11:56King Orion.
00:11:57If anyone interferes
00:11:58the curse will panic
00:11:58and panic finish
00:11:59consuming what's left
00:12:00of the king's soul.
00:12:02Absurd!
00:12:06You lying fraud!
00:12:07I'll expose you
00:12:09right now!
00:12:12Not bad for curse work.
00:12:14Too bad you're not
00:12:15strong enough.
00:12:16Ethan,
00:12:16I'm father's daughter too.
00:12:18Can my bloodline
00:12:19draw the curse out?
00:12:20Yes.
00:12:21Sister,
00:12:22let me go.
00:12:23As long as father wakes
00:12:24I'll accept any punishment
00:12:25even if I'm dragged
00:12:26through the streets
00:12:27in chains.
00:12:28You're not going.
00:12:29Sister!
00:12:30I am your older sister
00:12:31and I am the one
00:12:32holding this court together.
00:12:34It should be me.
00:12:35Oren,
00:12:35take six ironclad knights
00:12:37and guard the door.
00:12:38If anything happens to me
00:12:39seize Ethan immediately.
00:12:40As you command.
00:12:41If I don't come out
00:12:42you take control
00:12:43of Ash Royal Court.
00:12:44Put your hands
00:12:45where they don't belong
00:12:46and I'll kill you
00:12:46before I go to my father.
00:12:48I only save lives.
00:12:49Take the king
00:12:50to the royal bedroom.
00:12:51We begin before moonrise.
00:12:53Until the ritual is over
00:12:54no one enters.
00:12:57If that door opens
00:12:59the 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.
00:13:13Unfasten the silver bone belt.
00:13:16Ethan.
00:13:17I gave you a chance
00:13:18to save the king
00:13:19not a chance
00:13:20to insult my family.
00:13:24The Wendigo follows royal blood.
00:13:26That is how we draw it out.
00:13:28The more you are covered
00:13:30the harder it is
00:13:31for the curse
00:13:31to sense your bloodline.
00:13:33It won't come out.
00:13:34Every word you say
00:13:35had better be true.
00:13:48See that?
00:13:52Is that enough?
00:13:54Not yet.
00:13:56Move closer to the fire.
00:14:02It senses you.
00:14:05Then let it come out.
00:14:07My body still can't
00:14:08withstand the thunder
00:14:10but divine light
00:14:11should be enough.
00:14:12If it hurts
00:14:13make a sound.
00:14:16Save the advice.
00:14:17Blood of the crown
00:14:18draw it out.
00:14:22Soul flame
00:14:23hold it here.
00:14:25It's looking at me.
00:14:27Don't let it reach your eyes.
00:14:29Leave her!
00:14:31Ethan
00:14:33hurry.
00:14:35Come out!
00:14:45Princess Lyra.
00:14:47Princess Lyra.
00:14:48Princess Lyra is locked
00:14:48inside the royal bedroom
00:14:49with an outsider.
00:14:51Are you truly not worried?
00:14:53My sister gave her order.
00:14:55Until the ritual ends
00:14:57no one enters.
00:14:58Princess Lyra is the current
00:14:59ruler of the royal court.
00:15:01If anything happens to her
00:15:02Ash royal court will fall apart.
00:15:04Princess Lyra
00:15:05aren't you afraid
00:15:06he'll take advantage
00:15:07of your sister?
00:15:09My sister trusts him.
00:15:10So do I.
00:15:15Sister!
00:15:16Princess Lyra
00:15:17did you hear that?
00:15:18That outsider
00:15:19may be hurting
00:15:19Princess Alara.
00:15:20The royal family
00:15:21can still save its honor.
00:15:23Stop him now
00:15:24before it is too late.
00:15:25If you keep waiting
00:15:26the entire Ash royal court
00:15:27will regret it.
00:15:29Until the ritual is over
00:15:31no one enters.
00:15:33My sister said
00:15:34no one enters
00:15:34before the ritual ends.
00:15:36I trust my sister.
00:15:37No one can force her
00:15:38into anything.
00:15:41Sister?
00:15:42You heard that.
00:15:43That does not sound
00:15:44like healing.
00:15:46The High Princess's
00:15:47bedchamber
00:15:48is no place
00:15:48for a filthy peasant
00:15:50to satisfy
00:15:50his sick desires.
00:15:52If you don't go in now
00:15:53it will be too late.
00:15:57Don't let it reach
00:15:58your eyes!
00:15:59Eyes?
00:16:00Princess Lyra
00:16:01Princess Alara
00:16:02may already be in danger.
00:16:04Without Princess
00:16:04Alarsa's order
00:16:05the door stays closed.
00:16:09If I don't come out
00:16:10you take control
00:16:12of Ash royal court.
00:16:14Auron.
00:16:14Princess Lyra.
00:16:16Open the door.
00:16:17But Princess Alara said
00:16:18I am in command
00:16:20of the Ash court now.
00:16:23Open it.
00:16:27Stand back!
00:16:42Sister!
00:16:43Careful!
00:16:45Come out!
00:16:48Sorry.
00:16:49Look at me.
00:16:50Don't look at it.
00:16:58Now!
00:17:02Sister!
00:17:03Ethan.
00:17:03Let go of the princess.
00:17:05Now.
00:17:10Take your hands off me!
00:17:13The ancient
00:17:14Wendigo curse
00:17:14has truly returned.
00:17:17The Black Marsh seal
00:17:18could not have broken
00:17:18on its own.
00:17:19Someone inside
00:17:20the royal court
00:17:20released the Wendau.
00:17:24Sister!
00:17:24Are you hurt?
00:17:26Who told you
00:17:27to come in?
00:17:28I hurt.
00:17:29Princess Alara
00:17:30we all saw
00:17:31what happened.
00:17:32That outsider
00:17:32removed your robe
00:17:33and put his hands
00:17:34on you.
00:17:34Sister!
00:17:35Did he really save you?
00:17:36The curse was
00:17:37going for my eyes.
00:17:38He saved me.
00:17:41The curse is gone.
00:17:43Why has my father
00:17:44not woken up?
00:17:45His soul needs
00:17:45time to return.
00:17:47When the cedar fire
00:17:47dies down
00:17:48for the third time
00:17:49he'll wake.
00:17:50Easy to say.
00:17:51And if he doesn't
00:17:52wake?
00:17:52If he doesn't wake
00:17:54the Wendrig
00:17:55will rip this
00:17:56entire court apart
00:17:57and destroy
00:17:58all of us.
00:17:59This matter
00:18:00is finished.
00:18:01Finished?
00:18:02I still have
00:18:03an old marriage
00:18:04pact to settle.
00:18:05Marriage contract?
00:18:06You crossed a line
00:18:07with Princess Alara
00:18:08and now you think
00:18:09you can leave?
00:18:10Until the king wakes
00:18:11you are not taking
00:18:12one step out of here.
00:18:13Before King Aryan
00:18:14wakes you'd better stay.
00:18:16Otherwise I can't
00:18:17promise you'll
00:18:18leave this room alive.
00:18:19If I want to leave
00:18:20no one here
00:18:21can stop me.
00:18:22Stop.
00:18:24Stop.
00:18:27Father!
00:18:28Father is awake!
00:18:31Who is this?
00:18:33You weren't sick.
00:18:34You were under
00:18:35a Wendigo curse.
00:18:36A Wendog curse?
00:18:40Ethan removed the curse
00:18:41and saved your life.
00:18:44You're young
00:18:45but your healing
00:18:46is extraordinary.
00:18:48Bring it in.
00:18:49This seal grants
00:18:51rights to the salt mines
00:18:52and this is the
00:18:53Border Court's
00:18:54Blackstone token.
00:18:55With this token
00:18:56you will be treated
00:18:57as an honored guest
00:18:58of the crown.
00:18:59Thank you your majesty.
00:19:00You saved my life
00:19:02Ethan.
00:19:02Please accept
00:19:03this small token
00:19:04of gratitude.
00:19:06You are too kind
00:19:08your majesty.
00:19:08I don't save people
00:19:10because of rank.
00:19:11I save them
00:19:11because I choose to.
00:19:12Since you have
00:19:13saved my father
00:19:14I will honor
00:19:15my promise.
00:19:17I will honor
00:19:18the royal marriage
00:19:19pact with you.
00:19:20Princess Alara
00:19:21I appreciate
00:19:22your kindness
00:19:22but I am already
00:19:23bound by an ancient
00:19:24marriage pact
00:19:25with Lady Serafina
00:19:26of the Silver Stag Clan.
00:19:27The appointed time
00:19:28is almost here.
00:19:29I should leave.
00:19:33It seems you
00:19:34and Ethan
00:19:34were not meant
00:19:35for each other.
00:19:36If that is so
00:19:37I will not force him
00:19:37to stay.
00:19:38Ethan
00:19:39from now on
00:19:40whenever you need
00:19:41anything
00:19:41the Border Court
00:19:42will stand with you.
00:19:44There is one thing
00:19:45I need your help with.
00:19:47The Border Court
00:19:48has power and reach.
00:19:49Help me find the one
00:19:50who released
00:19:50the Wendow curse.
00:19:52Help me put an end
00:19:53to that person
00:19:53and bring peace
00:19:54back to the Northern Clans.
00:19:55I will.
00:19:56I swear I will find
00:19:57whoever did this.
00:19:59I'll take my leave.
00:20:02Your majesty
00:20:03since you are safe now
00:20:05we will leave you to rest.
00:20:06The three healers
00:20:07have done their part.
00:20:08Prepare a generous gift
00:20:09for each of them.
00:20:13Father
00:20:13the curse
00:20:14has only just been lifted.
00:20:15You should rest.
00:20:17I can investigate
00:20:17where the Wendog curse
00:20:18came from.
00:20:19Elara
00:20:19in the North
00:20:20there has only ever
00:20:21been one enemy
00:20:22the Black Raven Clan.
00:20:24In the North
00:20:25only the Black Raven Clan
00:20:26stands as an equal
00:20:27to our court.
00:20:28But I never thought
00:20:29they would dare
00:20:29curse me
00:20:30under my own roof.
00:20:32Then it is time
00:20:33we settle the score.
00:20:35Wait.
00:20:36What is it?
00:20:37Ethan said
00:20:38he has an ancient marriage
00:20:38packed with Lady Serafina
00:20:39of the Silvestad Clan
00:20:40but tonight
00:20:41the Silvestad Clan's
00:20:42marriage pact
00:20:43is with Cassian
00:20:43heir of the Black Raven Clan.
00:20:47Don't panic.
00:20:48The Black Raven Clan
00:20:50may have brought trouble
00:20:51on itself this time.
00:20:52Father
00:20:52why do you say that?
00:20:54A hundred years ago
00:20:55the Black Marsh curse
00:20:56was burned away
00:20:57by the thunder
00:20:58of the old gods.
00:20:59Few people now
00:21:00even know
00:21:00of the Wendogoo curse
00:21:01let alone how to break it.
00:21:03But Ethan
00:21:03young as he is
00:21:05saw the curse
00:21:06and pulled my soul
00:21:07back from the Black Marsh.
00:21:09He carries
00:21:10ancient thunder power.
00:21:11Ancient thunder?
00:21:12He really isn't
00:21:13an ordinary forest healer.
00:21:14Behind him
00:21:15there may be
00:21:15a god.
00:21:17If the Silvestad Clan
00:21:19truly holds
00:21:19his old marriage pact
00:21:20then they have a blessing
00:21:21they may never deserve.
00:21:22The Silvestad Clan
00:21:24has grown weak
00:21:25over the years.
00:21:26All they know
00:21:27is how to bow
00:21:27to stronger clans.
00:21:29The Black Raven Clan
00:21:30controls the northern
00:21:31trade roads
00:21:31and iron mines.
00:21:32They have grown so arrogant
00:21:33they have forgotten
00:21:34the Ashcourt.
00:21:35The Silvestad Clan
00:21:36will reject Ethan
00:21:37when he arrives.
00:21:39I'll go help him.
00:21:48The Silvestad Clan
00:21:49finally bet the nay.
00:21:50Marrying into the Black Raven Clan
00:21:51is Seraphina's good fortune.
00:21:52I heard she already
00:21:53had an old marriage pact.
00:21:54A pact from years ago.
00:21:55That won't stop
00:21:56the Black Raven Clan.
00:22:15The Silver Deer
00:22:16Chieftains are here.
00:22:21I heard Seraphina
00:22:23made an old marriage pact
00:22:24years ago.
00:22:25Then why is she
00:22:25entering a marriage alliance
00:22:26with the Black Raven Clan
00:22:27tonight?
00:22:28The Black Raven Clan
00:22:30controls the northern
00:22:30iron mines and trade roads.
00:22:32Who would dare refuse them?
00:22:33For a small clan
00:22:34tying themselves to Black Raven
00:22:35is an opportunity
00:22:36others would kill for.
00:22:41My daughter Seraphina
00:22:43was indeed saved
00:22:43by an outsider
00:22:44years ago.
00:22:45The old chief of
00:22:46the Silver Stare Clan
00:22:46did arrange
00:22:47an old marriage pact
00:22:48for her.
00:22:48But the man who swore
00:22:49that oath
00:22:49is long dead.
00:22:50As chief of the
00:22:51Silver Stare Clan
00:22:52I will not allow anyone
00:22:53to use an old pact
00:22:54to trade on our name.
00:22:55The Silver Stag Clan
00:22:56is using Black Raven
00:22:57to survive
00:22:57while abandoning
00:22:58an old oath.
00:22:59Everyone should look
00:23:00carefully at whose banner
00:23:01hangs here
00:23:02before speaking.
00:23:03The Silver Stag Clan
00:23:04cannot afford
00:23:05Black Raven's wrath
00:23:06and neither can any of you.
00:23:07If that forest haemur
00:23:08does not show up
00:23:09the old oath
00:23:10can still keep
00:23:11what little dignity
00:23:12it has left.
00:23:13If he dares come
00:23:14Black Raven will crush him
00:23:15into the mud.
00:23:18Who said they would
00:23:19crush me into the mud?
00:23:24Who are you?
00:23:25My name is Ethan.
00:23:26I have come to fulfill
00:23:27my marriage pact
00:23:28with Serafina.
00:23:32I didn't think
00:23:33you would actually
00:23:33dare come.
00:23:34A wandering healer
00:23:35from the Black Marsh border
00:23:36really thinks he can
00:23:37enter a marriage pact
00:23:38with Serafina?
00:23:39Even a mud-soaked nobody
00:23:40thinks he can look up
00:23:42at a Silver Gare now.
00:23:44Ethan,
00:23:45since you came
00:23:46I'll make this clear.
00:23:47Your old marriage pact
00:23:48with Serafina is void.
00:23:49I, Aldric,
00:23:50declare it.
00:23:51Do you know
00:23:51the old Silver Stag chief
00:23:52begged for this pact
00:23:53before the ancestral altar?
00:23:55The Silver Stag clan
00:23:57is no longer
00:23:57what it was
00:23:5816 years ago.
00:24:00Today the Silver Stag clan
00:24:02has tied itself
00:24:02to Black Raven.
00:24:03What are you,
00:24:04a wandering healer,
00:24:05compared to that?
00:24:06Our Serafina
00:24:06is going to marry Cassian,
00:24:08heir of the Black Raven clan.
00:24:09And you,
00:24:10some border healer
00:24:10with a medicine bag,
00:24:11think you can cling
00:24:12to her with an old pact?
00:24:13Look at yourself.
00:24:15Mud, blood,
00:24:16and poverty all over you.
00:24:20So the stray dog
00:24:22found a bigger kennel.
00:24:23No wonder it barks
00:24:23so loudly.
00:24:27Ethan,
00:24:28I'm warning you,
00:24:29don't push this too far.
00:24:32You are just holding
00:24:33an old pact
00:24:33someone handed you
00:24:34trying to force your way
00:24:36into the Silver Stag clan.
00:24:38The Silver Stag clan
00:24:39does not want to
00:24:40humiliate you completely.
00:24:42Take these coins
00:24:43and crawl back
00:24:43to the Black Marsh border.
00:24:46Ethan,
00:24:46someone shoved
00:24:47that old plot
00:24:48into your hands.
00:24:49That does not mean
00:24:49Serafina must marry you.
00:24:51The old chief
00:24:52who made that oath
00:24:53is dead.
00:24:54The Silver Stag clan
00:24:55now answers to Aldrich.
00:24:57You clearly don't understand.
00:24:59This pact carries
00:25:00a blood oath
00:25:00sworn before the ancestors
00:25:01and the old gods.
00:25:03Break it,
00:25:03and thunder will answer.
00:25:05The Silver Stag clan
00:25:06will pay in blood.
00:25:08Thunder will answer?
00:25:10Really?
00:25:11Ridiculous.
00:25:12Stop hiding behind
00:25:12old gods and dead men.
00:25:14Tonight,
00:25:15this pact dies.
00:25:16and we can afford
00:25:17the price.
00:25:19Does Lady Serafina
00:25:20think the same?
00:25:31Yes.
00:25:36Ethan,
00:25:37you should not
00:25:38have come today.
00:25:41Lady Serafina,
00:25:42you also think
00:25:43I came here
00:25:44to use the Silver Stag name?
00:25:46What else would it be?
00:25:50The Silver Stag clan
00:25:51is returning to power.
00:25:53Now we are forming
00:25:54a marriage alliance
00:25:54with the Black Raven clan.
00:25:56You came dragging out
00:25:57an old pact
00:25:58from years ago
00:25:58because you want
00:25:59to use our name
00:26:00to force your way
00:26:01into northern robility.
00:26:02This old marriage pact
00:26:03exists, yes,
00:26:04but it was an old oath
00:26:05left by the former chief.
00:26:06The man who swore it
00:26:07is dead.
00:26:08Now my father
00:26:09rules the Silver Stag clan
00:26:11and I have already
00:26:12agreed to marry Cassian,
00:26:13heir of the Black Raven clan.
00:26:14He can bring the Silver Stag clan
00:26:15back into northern power.
00:26:17You are nothing.
00:26:18You cannot give
00:26:18the Silver Thor clan
00:26:19a future.
00:26:20I will be the lady
00:26:20of Black Raven Hulk
00:26:21and you are just
00:26:22a wandering healer
00:26:23from the Black Marsh border.
00:26:24The entire north
00:26:25stands between us.
00:26:26I have never seen
00:26:27someone make betrayal
00:26:28sound so dignified.
00:26:31Ethan,
00:26:31who do you think
00:26:32you are?
00:26:33You have no right
00:26:34to lecture
00:26:34the Silver Stag clan.
00:26:35I would rather marry
00:26:36a dog from the stables
00:26:38than marry a man
00:26:38like you.
00:26:41You're just a border healer
00:26:43from the Black Marsh
00:26:44and you really think
00:26:45the gods chose you?
00:26:46And you dream
00:26:47of marrying my daughter?
00:26:49Wake up.
00:26:50This pact was sworn
00:26:51by the Silver Stag
00:26:51ancestors themselves.
00:26:53I did not come today
00:26:54to beg for your approval.
00:26:55I came to end this pact.
00:26:57Today,
00:26:58I withdraw from this pact.
00:26:59Once I severed it,
00:27:01the Silver Stag clan
00:27:01will bear the consequences.
00:27:02Your banner will fall
00:27:04and your bloodline
00:27:05will suffer.
00:27:06At my daughter's
00:27:07wedding feast,
00:27:08a border healer
00:27:09dares curse
00:27:09the Silver Thore clan?
00:27:11Guards,
00:27:12drag him out!
00:27:15Your disaster
00:27:16is already here
00:27:17and you are still laughing.
00:27:21Ethan, enough!
00:27:22He brought this
00:27:23on himself.
00:27:34Someone is causing trouble
00:27:35inside Black Raven Keep?
00:27:40Let's see how a border healer
00:27:41plans to bring disaster
00:27:43on the Silver Stag bloodline.
00:27:46On this land,
00:27:47On this land,
00:27:47there are nobles,
00:27:48vassals,
00:27:49and gutter-borne trash.
00:27:50The Black Raven clan
00:27:52stands at the top.
00:27:53The Silver Thag clan
00:27:54is noble.
00:27:55And you,
00:27:56a border healer
00:27:57from the Black Marsh,
00:27:59think you can step
00:27:59into 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
00:28:15and get out of Black Raven Heal.
00:28:17Otherwise,
00:28:18I'll skin you
00:28:19and hang you
00:28:20on the Black Raven Gate.
00:28:24A pact witnessed
00:28:26by ancient thunder
00:28:27is not yours to touch.
00:28:29The Divine Thunder Healer's
00:28:31old oath
00:28:31and a border healer
00:28:32like you
00:28:33thinks you can claim it?
00:28:34Cassian,
00:28:35who is the Divine Thunder Healer?
00:28:39The Divine Thunder Healer
00:28:40is the source
00:28:41of ancient healing arts.
00:28:43Legend says
00:28:43that power came from Zeus,
00:28:45King of Olympus.
00:28:46They say he hides
00:28:47in the ruins of Olympus.
00:28:49He can bring souls back
00:28:50and decide life or death.
00:28:51He can also summon thunder
00:28:53and cleanse Black Marsh curses.
00:28:57In the north,
00:28:59that name is forbidden.
00:29:03Sadly,
00:29:05that kind of power
00:29:06would never fall
00:29:07on a border healer
00:29:08from the Black Marsh.
00:29:13The Divine Thunder Healer?
00:29:16Does that power really exist?
00:29:23Then this contract...
00:29:24Anyone who falsely invokes
00:29:25the Divine Thunder Healer
00:29:27and offends the old gods
00:29:28of Olympus
00:29:28will suffer divine backlash.
00:29:30Even a royal bloodline
00:29:31can wither.
00:29:32Their banner will fall.
00:29:34If you steal Thunder's name,
00:29:36True Thunder will come
00:29:36to judge you.
00:29:37You're making it sound
00:29:38more dramatic than it is.
00:29:40But my healing
00:29:41is a little stronger
00:29:42than an ordinary healer's.
00:29:45I was talking about
00:29:47the Divine Thunder Healer.
00:29:48What does that have to do
00:29:49with you?
00:29:50Ethan,
00:29:50if you don't leave now,
00:29:52I really won't be able
00:29:53to protect you.
00:29:55Serafina,
00:29:55the former Silverstag chief,
00:29:57begged for this pack
00:29:58at the old god's altar.
00:29:59He knelt for seven days
00:30:00to secure it.
00:30:01It was a lifeline
00:30:02for the Silverstag clan.
00:30:03And this is how you treat it?
00:30:05Today,
00:30:06I, Serafina,
00:30:08turn my back
00:30:09on this old oath.
00:30:13What can you do about it?
00:30:16I will be the one
00:30:17to break this pact.
00:30:24We're destroying
00:30:25this worthless pact today.
00:30:27What are you going to do about it?
00:30:30Hmph.
00:30:31The pact is broken.
00:30:34Zeus' punishment
00:30:35begins now.
00:30:39You really believe
00:30:40your own act,
00:30:41don't you?
00:30:43You think you're
00:30:44Zeus, Riorne?
00:30:47Zeus' punishment?
00:30:48The Silverstag clan
00:30:49is rising with Black Raven.
00:30:51You are the one
00:30:51waving around
00:30:52a torn old pact
00:30:52and scamming people.
00:30:53If anyone deserves punishment,
00:30:55it's you.
00:30:56Please.
00:30:56You spent too much time
00:30:57at the Black Marsh border
00:30:58and now you think
00:30:59you can call down
00:31:00divine punishment?
00:31:04Ethan,
00:31:06open your eyes
00:31:07and watch closely.
00:31:08From this day on,
00:31:09I stand under
00:31:10the Black Raven banner.
00:31:11No one in the north
00:31:12can touch me.
00:31:13Even if Zeus' punishment
00:31:14exists,
00:31:14what can it do
00:31:15to the Silverstag clan?
00:31:16Zeus' punishment
00:31:17has already begun.
00:31:20Every member
00:31:21of the Silverstag clan
00:31:22carries the curse.
00:31:24You're hopeless.
00:31:25The Silverstag hunting grounds
00:31:27will fall.
00:31:28Your clan treasury
00:31:29will be empty.
00:31:30The salt mines,
00:31:31mountain roads,
00:31:32and fur trade routes
00:31:33will all be lost.
00:31:38The Silverstag clan
00:31:39is not some easy target.
00:31:41Who are you?
00:31:42A border healer
00:31:43to threaten me
00:31:44with loss.
00:31:45The Silverstag clan
00:31:46could crush you
00:31:47without effort.
00:31:49Ethan,
00:31:49this is all about money,
00:31:51isn't it?
00:31:51There's a full bag
00:31:52of gold coins in here.
00:31:53Enough for you to live on
00:31:54for the rest of your life.
00:31:59Take the money
00:32:00and leave.
00:32:01Don't delay my wedding
00:32:02with Lady Serafina.
00:32:06Stop it.
00:32:07You've seen one corner
00:32:08of the world
00:32:09and think you own
00:32:10the sky.
00:32:11Black Raven clan
00:32:12rules the north.
00:32:14If I want you dead,
00:32:15no one here
00:32:16will dare
00:32:16keep you alive.
00:32:18You're already
00:32:18at death's door
00:32:19and you're still talking.
00:32:41Princess Alara!
00:32:44Speak.
00:32:45News from Black Raven Keep.
00:32:47Cassian publicly
00:32:48humiliated Ethan
00:32:49at the wedding feast.
00:32:50Cassian?
00:32:51The Silverstag clan
00:32:52also tore up
00:32:53the old marriage bed
00:32:53in public
00:32:54and tried to drive
00:32:55Ethan out of the keep.
00:32:56They dared insult Ethan?
00:32:57They must have
00:32:58a death wish.
00:32:59To Black Raven Holt.
00:33:01Now.
00:33:03Even with death
00:33:04staring you in the face,
00:33:06you still act tough.
00:33:07Today,
00:33:08I'll teach you
00:33:09how the north works.
00:33:17Zeus's punishment
00:33:18has begun.
00:33:21Zeus's punishment
00:33:22really happened.
00:33:24Could he really
00:33:25be Zeus reborn?
00:33:26The Silverstag clan
00:33:27offended Zeus reborn.
00:33:29They're finished,
00:33:29aren't they?
00:33:31Impossible!
00:33:32Zeus is the king
00:33:33of Olympus.
00:33:34Even Black Raven
00:33:35only knows his name
00:33:36from legend.
00:33:36How could this man
00:33:37possibly be Zeus?
00:33:40In front of me,
00:33:41the Black Raven clan
00:33:42is nothing but
00:33:43small men
00:33:44pretending 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
00:33:51making peace
00:33:52peace with your gods.
00:33:54You're not leaving!
00:33:55I'll cut you down myself!
00:33:57The healer
00:33:57Phelan has arrived.
00:34:09Ethan,
00:34:10Phelan is one of the north's
00:34:11sacred healers.
00:34:12He serves the Black Raven clan.
00:34:14He has saved more lives
00:34:15than you've ever touched.
00:34:16With him here,
00:34:17your cheap tricks
00:34:18mean nothing.
00:34:20Master Healer
00:34:21Phelan is here!
00:34:22We're saved!
00:34:29I came with a gift
00:34:30to celebrate
00:34:31the wedding of
00:34:31Cassian heir
00:34:32of the Black Raven clan.
00:34:34Celebrate what?
00:34:35My bride's whole family
00:34:36was nearly killed
00:34:37by this Border Healer.
00:34:38Look at them!
00:34:39Now!
00:34:40Someone dares harm
00:34:41Lord Cassier's bride
00:34:42and her family
00:34:42at his own wedding feast.
00:34:44Bold!
00:34:44I'll warn you once,
00:34:45stay out of this.
00:34:46You can't save them
00:34:47and you don't want
00:34:47to get dragged in.
00:34:49You look like you've studied
00:34:50healing for a few years.
00:34:51Too bad your heart is rotten.
00:34:53You dare curse people
00:34:54at Lord Cassian's wedding feast.
00:34:56Ethan,
00:34:57your cheap little tricks
00:34:58are nothing
00:34:58before Master Healer Phelan.
00:35:00Some people only learn
00:35:01when death is at their door.
00:35:03First Holy Seal,
00:35:05open the body.
00:35:06Sacred Light,
00:35:08drive 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,
00:35:20bind the soul.
00:35:28Lord Cassian,
00:35:29the Holy Seals are complete.
00:35:31They're safe now.
00:35:33I really feel fine.
00:35:35I don't feel any pain at all.
00:35:37Master Healer,
00:35:38Felon,
00:35:38your power is extraordinary.
00:35:39Ethan,
00:35:40this is real healing.
00:35:41A Border Healer
00:35:42like you can't compare.
00:35:44After coughing up
00:35:45that black blood,
00:35:46I feel so much lighter.
00:35:47The pain is gone too.
00:35:49Thank you,
00:35:50Master Healer Felon.
00:35:51Your healing is unmatched.
00:35:54Lady Myra,
00:35:55your family
00:35:56were merely
00:35:56under a dark curse.
00:35:58I've suppressed it
00:35:59with Holy Seals.
00:36:00You're all fine now.
00:36:01Thank you,
00:36:02Master Healer Felon.
00:36:04Ethan,
00:36:05you despicable
00:36:06Border Fraud.
00:36:07You dared
00:36:07put a dark curse on us?
00:36:09Kneel and apologize!
00:36:11Now!
00:36:12Master Healer Felon
00:36:13has already exposed
00:36:14your little curse trick.
00:36:15Now it's time
00:36:16we settle our score.
00:36:17Exactly!
00:36:18You people truly
00:36:19are shameless.
00:36:20So now that you've been
00:36:21exposed,
00:36:22you're lashing out?
00:36:23I am Zeus Reborn.
00:36:24I don't rely on cheap curses.
00:36:28He only delayed
00:36:29Zeus' punishment
00:36:30for one minute.
00:36:34Stop trying to scare us.
00:36:36Give up now.
00:36:37Otherwise,
00:36:38I'll make sure
00:36:39there's nothing left of you.
00:36:41Your Holy Seals
00:36:42have some use.
00:36:44But Zeus' punishment
00:36:45cannot be undone.
00:36:47Young man,
00:36:47I admit your curse work
00:36:49is not bad.
00:36:50Too bad you chose
00:36:51the wrong path.
00:36:52All you know
00:36:53is how to scare people
00:36:54with cheap curses.
00:36:57Zeus may be
00:36:58the legendary king
00:36:59of gods
00:36:59and his punishment
00:37:00may be feared.
00:37:02But no one alive
00:37:03has truly seen it.
00:37:05Every curse
00:37:05can be contained.
00:37:06Today,
00:37:07I'll show you.
00:37:09You'd better come over here
00:37:10and apologize.
00:37:11Otherwise,
00:37:11I'll teach you
00:37:12how to crawl like a dog.
00:37:17You're not worth my time.
00:37:21I'll talk.
00:37:22Lord Cassian,
00:37:23don't dirty your hands
00:37:24with this arrogant fool.
00:37:25Let me handle him.
00:37:26Leave him alive.
00:37:27I'm not done playing yet.
00:37:30Zeus' punishment
00:37:31begins in 30 seconds.
00:37:32Still playing God?
00:37:34I've practiced healing
00:37:35for over 30 years.
00:37:37I've seen every kind of trick.
00:37:39I'll seal your body
00:37:40and leave you crippled.
00:37:42Let's see how long
00:37:43you keep talking.
00:37:45Looks like Master Healan
00:37:46is serious now.
00:37:47That border healer
00:37:48is finished.
00:37:49What a shame.
00:37:50He's still young.
00:37:51He chose the wrong road.
00:37:52He brought this on himself.
00:37:5410 seconds.
00:37:56At least you can count down
00:37:57to your own death.
00:38:003.
00:38:021st Holy Seal
00:38:04lock his legs.
00:38:182nd Holy Seal
00:38:19lock your throat.
00:38:20Let's see you keep
00:38:21playing God now.
00:38:233rd Holy Seal
00:38:25seal your whole body.
00:38:26Punish your arrogance.
00:38:29Kneel!
00:38:301.
00:38:40This is impossible.
00:38:43You border healer.
00:38:45What did you do to me?
00:38:46Zeus' punishment
00:38:47cannot be reversed.
00:38:48Know your place.
00:38:54Is this Zeus' punishment?
00:38:57You really are Zeus reborn?
00:39:00Oh!
00:39:06What happened to Master Healer Felon
00:39:07was too strange.
00:39:09Was that really Zeus' punishment?
00:39:11Legend says Zeus commands thunder
00:39:13and rules life and death.
00:39:15Master Healer Felon
00:39:15dared stand against Zeus.
00:39:17No wonder this happened to him.
00:39:20Zeus?
00:39:21Him?
00:39:22Everyone, you've been fooled
00:39:23by his Black Marsh sorcery.
00:39:25Zeus' punishment?
00:39:26It's a scare tactic.
00:39:27That was clearly a forbidden
00:39:28Black Marsh spell,
00:39:28a lost curse technique.
00:39:29He is not Zeus.
00:39:30He is a Black Marsh heretic.
00:39:33That's right.
00:39:33My grandfather once spoke
00:39:34of the Black Marsh calamities.
00:39:36Those dark arts are known
00:39:37for disguising themselves
00:39:38as divine punishment.
00:39:40He used Black Marsh sorcery
00:39:41to impersonate Zeus.
00:39:42The Black Marks
00:39:43on the ground are proof.
00:39:44A man like this
00:39:46must be driven
00:39:47out of the North.
00:39:48Master Healer Felon
00:39:49served Blackrovan for years
00:39:51and saved countless
00:39:51noble bloodlines.
00:39:54And today,
00:39:55he was harmed
00:39:56by a Black Marsh heretic.
00:39:58If we allow a heretic
00:39:59like this to run free,
00:40:01today Master Healer Felon
00:40:02falls,
00:40:03tomorrow it could be
00:40:04all of you.
00:40:05And your clans.
00:40:09Your parents,
00:40:10your wives,
00:40:12your children,
00:40:12he'll come for all of them.
00:40:15Are you done?
00:40:21Zeus' punishment
00:40:22owes you no explanation.
00:40:26Cast out the Black Marsh heretic!
00:40:29Protect the North!
00:40:30Cast out the Black Marsh heretic!
00:40:32Protect the North!
00:40:33Cast out the Black Marsh heretic!
00:40:35Protect the North!
00:40:41I'm curious.
00:40:42If this Black Marsh forbidden spell
00:40:44has been lost for years,
00:40:45how did you recognise it
00:40:46at a glance?
00:40:48Have you seen it before?
00:40:50Lord Cassian was right.
00:40:52This Black Marsh heretic
00:40:53is panicking,
00:40:54so now he's trying
00:40:55to pull others down with him.
00:40:56He's trying to pull
00:40:57the Black Raven clan
00:40:59into this.
00:41:00Everyone stay alert.
00:41:02Seize this Black Marsh heretic.
00:41:11Insolent Black Marsh heretic,
00:41:14you harmed my disciple.
00:41:19Surrender at once.
00:41:22Ethan,
00:41:24your death has come.
00:41:32Another one coming to die.
00:41:44It's Master Healer Ararius!
00:41:46Felon's master.
00:41:48Avarius is nearly a hundred years old
00:41:49and his healing is beyond
00:41:50anything we know.
00:41:51I heard that when he was young
00:41:52he even received guidance
00:41:53from Zeus' legacy.
00:41:55That Black Marsh heretic is dead.
00:41:58Ethan, Ararius is unmatched in healing.
00:41:59The North calls him a living saint.
00:42:01Now that he's here,
00:42:02you can wait to die.
00:42:04Compared with Zeus,
00:42:05I am only a mortal.
00:42:06The gap is beyond measure.
00:42:08Guided by Zeus' oracle
00:42:09and still blind.
00:42:11Meeting you here
00:42:12must be fate.
00:42:13Young man,
00:42:13you may be gifted
00:42:14to master forbidden
00:42:15Black Marsh arts at your age,
00:42:16but you chose the wrong path.
00:42:17You harmed my disciple,
00:42:19impersonated Zeus,
00:42:19abused Black Marsh's source,
00:42:20and brought disaster to the North.
00:42:21For that,
00:42:22you deserve death.
00:42:22You've lived all these years
00:42:23and you still can't see
00:42:24who is standing in front of you.
00:42:26Insolent 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,
00:42:33I'll guarantee your safe exit
00:42:35from Black Raven Keep today.
00:42:36Use whatever tricks you have.
00:42:38No one has ever survived
00:42:39even one move from Ararius.
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.
00:42:54Cheap tricks?
00:42:55And you dare show them to me?
00:43:03Holy seal,
00:43:04form the bones.
00:43:05Sacred light become chains.
00:43:07Triple lock.
00:43:08By the sacred altar,
00:43:09bind him.
00:43:11Boy,
00:43:11these are my sacred light chains.
00:43:13You're finished.
00:43:14Is that all you've got?
00:43:17Ancient wood,
00:43:17hear me.
00:43:18What?
00:43:18Sacred vines awaken.
00:43:19Life returns to the root.
00:43:20Earth,
00:43:21bind his body.
00:43:22Green vines,
00:43:23hold him fast.
00:43:24Go!
00:43:30This is my ancient wood spell.
00:43:33Once the sacred vines bind the body,
00:43:36not even a beast can break free.
00:43:38Let's see how you escape this time.
00:43:52Sacred light or ancient wood,
00:43:54before me it all turns to dust.
00:44:00That Black Marsh heretic is brutal.
00:44:02He broke Master Healer's Aurelius' ancient wood spell.
00:44:05Are you done?
00:44:07From this day on,
00:44:08I formally end my marriage pact with the Silverstag clan.
00:44:12From this moment on,
00:44:13we have nothing to do with each other.
00:44:15I am Zeus Reborn.
00:44:17If you don't believe me,
00:44:19go ask King Orion.
00:44:20Ethan,
00:44:21cursing people and pretending to be Zeus was bad enough.
00:44:23Now you dare use King Orion's name too?
00:44:25I didn't expect a border healer like you to know so much.
00:44:27Yes,
00:44:28King Orion did wake up today.
00:44:30But the man who saved King Orion
00:44:32could never be a Black Marsh heretic like you.
00:44:35Even Averius may not be able to break King Orion's Wendiglo curse.
00:44:37You?
00:44:38How could you possibly have saved King Orion?
00:44:40We should seize this Black Marsh heretic
00:44:41before he spreads more lies
00:44:43and causes more trouble inside Black Ravenhold.
00:44:46Guards!
00:44:47Take this Black Marsh heretic down!
00:44:55Let's see who dares.
00:45:00Anyone who disrespects Lord Ethan.
00:45:07Isn't that Princess Alara,
00:45:08eldest daughter of the Royal Court?
00:45:10I heard Ash Royal Court
00:45:11and 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,
00:45:20the Silverstag clan should have welcomed you properly.
00:45:23Please forgive us.
00:45:24Princess Alara,
00:45:24today we caught a Black Marsh heretic
00:45:26pretending to be Zeus reborn.
00:45:27He even claimed he saved King Orion.
00:45:30Since you're here,
00:45:30we'll leave him to you?
00:45:31Princess Alara,
00:45:32it 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
00:45:39over to you as a congratulatory gift.
00:45:40You say he is a Black Marsh heretic
00:45:42pretending to be Zeus reborn?
00:45:44Exactly.
00:45:45This Black Marsh heretic
00:45:46used dark sorcery
00:45:47and killed Felon,
00:45:48the Black Raven clan's personal healer.
00:45:49He also badly injured
00:45:50Master Healer Aurarius,
00:45:51Felon's master.
00:45:52Everyone here witnessed it.
00:45:53I, Cassian,
00:45:54swear I'm telling the truth.
00:45:55Princess Alara,
00:45:56this man is a Black Marsh heretic.
00:45:58Please decide what should be done with him.
00:46:00Are you finished?
00:46:04King Orion woke
00:46:05because Lord Ethan saved him.
00:46:10You called the man
00:46:12who saved the king
00:46:12a Black Marsh heretic?
00:46:18Anyone who dares touch him again
00:46:20becomes an enemy
00:46:21of Ash Royal Court.
00:46:27Open your eyes
00:46:29and look carefully.
00:46:30This is Lord Ethan,
00:46:32the man who saved my father.
00:46:34He really is the one
00:46:34who woke King Orion.
00:46:35Princess Alara herself confirmed it.
00:46:37We wrongly accused
00:46:37that Black Marsh heretic.
00:46:38No,
00:46:39we wrongly accused Lord Ethan.
00:46:41How is that possible?
00:46:43Princess Alara,
00:46:44could you be mistaken?
00:46:45He's just a border healer
00:46:46from the Black Marsh.
00:46:47How could he have saved
00:46:48King Orion?
00:46:49This man knows
00:46:50Black 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
00:46:57have invited all of you
00:46:58to stand there
00:46:58and watch while he saved my father?
00:47:00I call you princess
00:47:01out of respect
00:47:02for Ash Royal Court.
00:47:03Today you came
00:47:04to my wedding feast
00:47:04and humiliated my bride
00:47:05to be in public.
00:47:07Tomorrow,
00:47:07will you bring soldiers
00:47:08into Black Raven Held
00:47:09and trample our banner?
00:47:10Today,
00:47:10no matter who comes,
00:47:12this border healer
00:47:13stays here.
00:47:14You truly don't know
00:47:16when to stop.
00:47:18Ash Royal Court
00:47:19is nothing...
00:47:20I have never feared
00:47:21the Black Raven Clan.
00:47:26Listen carefully.
00:47:28Lord Ethan saved
00:47:29my father today.
00:47:30He is the benefactor
00:47:31of Ash Royal Court.
00:47:32Disrespect him
00:47:33and you disrespect
00:47:34Ash Royal Court.
00:47:35Lord Ethan,
00:47:36let's go.
00:47:38Wait!
00:47:42Wait!
00:47:45Even if Ethan
00:47:46saved King Orion,
00:47:47he still cursed
00:47:48my bride's family
00:47:48and injured
00:47:49the Black Raven Clan's
00:47:50personal healers.
00:47:51That is also a fact.
00:47:53Alara,
00:47:53you may leave.
00:47:54I won't stop you.
00:47:55But Ethan stays here.
00:47:57You reminded me.
00:47:58I still have unfinished business
00:47:59with the Silver Stare Clan.
00:48:01You still dare talk big!
00:48:02The Silver Stare Clan
00:48:03has not survived
00:48:04all these years
00:48:04by being scared.
00:48:05You're only hiding
00:48:06behind Princess Alora.
00:48:07Have you forgotten
00:48:07you're just a border healer?
00:48:08Isn't hiding behind power
00:48:10what the Silver Stare Clan
00:48:11does best?
00:48:12Ethan,
00:48:12don't push your luck.
00:48:13Don't think
00:48:14Princess Alora's presence
00:48:15means you can walk
00:48:16out that door.
00:48:17A nest of fools
00:48:17walking into death.
00:48:19Zeus's punishment.
00:48:28You still dare attack?
00:48:29They broke the ancient
00:48:30marriage pact
00:48:31with their own hands.
00:48:32This is the punishment
00:48:34they earn.
00:48:37Do you still think
00:48:38this is Black Marsh
00:48:39sorcery?
00:48:49Lord Morvayna.
00:48:51The Black Raven Clan
00:48:52wants Ash Royal Court's
00:48:53salt mines and forests.
00:48:55But they refuse
00:48:56every offer we make.
00:48:58Please plant a curse
00:48:59in that old king.
00:49:00Let me take Ash Royal Court
00:49:02for myself
00:49:03and fulfill my ambition.
00:49:07Darion,
00:49:07do you have a death wish?
00:49:10How dare you
00:49:11tell me what to do?
00:49:13I wouldn't dare.
00:49:14Everything will be
00:49:15as you command.
00:49:16Have your son bring
00:49:17Lady Seraphina
00:49:17of the Silver Stag Clan
00:49:18back here.
00:49:19Once I use her
00:49:20Frost Bloodland
00:49:20to forge the final
00:49:21curse seed,
00:49:22you'll get your reward.
00:49:23Cassian is at the wedding
00:49:24with the Silver Stag Clan
00:49:25right now.
00:49:26In less than an hour,
00:49:26Seraphina will be brought
00:49:27deep into Black Raven Hope.
00:49:29After that,
00:49:30she is yours.
00:49:33Divine punishment,
00:49:34so that's what happened.
00:49:36Zeus Reborn
00:49:36helped King Orion
00:49:37pull out my curse.
00:49:40Wait.
00:49:43If you rush
00:49:44to your son's
00:49:44wedding feast now,
00:49:45you may still bring him
00:49:46back in one piece.
00:49:47Otherwise,
00:49:48not even a god
00:49:49can save him.
00:49:50Remember this.
00:49:51Do not provoke
00:49:52the young man
00:49:52with the medicine gulp.
00:49:53You cannot have to cross him.
00:49:55Thank you for the warning,
00:49:56my lord.
00:50:03Father!
00:50:04Mother!
00:50:05What's wrong,
00:50:06Mother?
00:50:07Don't scare me!
00:50:09Seraphina,
00:50:10are you alright?
00:50:11Ethan,
00:50:12you vile coward!
00:50:14You did this
00:50:15to my family!
00:50:16You...
00:50:17Seraphina,
00:50:18don't talk!
00:50:18Breathe!
00:50:21Cassian,
00:50:22my chest hurts.
00:50:23I can't hold on.
00:50:26And if I die,
00:50:28then you must die.
00:50:29Seraphina!
00:50:30This is what happens
00:50:31when you break
00:50:32an ancient marriage trap.
00:50:34What?
00:50:35You want to try too?
00:50:36If I don't kill you today,
00:50:38my name isn't Cassio.
00:50:42Stop!
00:50:47Ethan,
00:50:48my father is here.
00:50:49You're dead.
00:50:52Do you know
00:50:52who my father is,
00:50:53men in the north?
00:50:54Darian,
00:50:55chief of the Black Raven clan.
00:50:56One of the most ruthless men
00:50:57in the north.
00:50:58Under him,
00:50:59the Black Raven clan
00:50:59has taken plenty of salt mines
00:51:00and forests.
00:51:01Now they dare stand
00:51:02against Ash Royal Court.
00:51:04Darian is ruthless.
00:51:05People who offend him
00:51:06tend to disappear
00:51:06without explanation.
00:51:07Be careful.
00:51:09So what?
00:51:10What happened here?
00:51:12Father,
00:51:13you have to stand up for me.
00:51:15My wedding feast
00:51:16with Seraphina
00:51:16was going perfectly.
00:51:18Then this border healer
00:51:19named Ethan
00:51:20ruined everything!
00:51:21He used Blackmar sorcery
00:51:22to hurt people.
00:51:23He left the Silverstag family
00:51:24half-dead
00:51:25and badly injured
00:51:26Master Healer Felon
00:51:26and Master Healer Aurarius.
00:51:28I wanted to hold him
00:51:29accountable,
00:51:30but Alara keeps protecting
00:51:31this Blackmarsh heretic.
00:51:32Father,
00:51:33now that you're here,
00:51:33you have to make this right!
00:51:36Is that true?
00:51:37Every word!
00:51:38If I lied,
00:51:38may thunder strike me down!
00:51:41Chief Darian,
00:51:43the Silverstag clan
00:51:44broke an ancient marriage pact
00:51:45and insulted Lord Ethan.
00:51:46Zeus' punishment fell on them.
00:51:48They brought this on themselves.
00:51:51Or are you only listening
00:51:52to your son's side?
00:51:54No, father.
00:51:55You know me.
00:51:56I never start trouble outside.
00:51:58It was this Blackmarsh heretic
00:51:59who attacked innocent people.
00:52:00He hurt your future in-laws.
00:52:02If I let this insult stand,
00:52:03everyone will think
00:52:04the Black Raven clan
00:52:05has no strength left!
00:52:09Are you here to avenge
00:52:10the Silverstag clan
00:52:11and defend your son too?
00:52:14If you rush to your son's
00:52:15wedding feast now,
00:52:16you may still bring him
00:52:17back in one piece.
00:52:18Otherwise, not even a god
00:52:19can save him.
00:52:21Remember this.
00:52:22Do not provoke the young man
00:52:23with the medicine gore.
00:52:24You cannot have to cross him.
00:52:25Thank you for the warning,
00:52:26my lord.
00:52:29Father, you have to stand up for me!
00:52:31You Blackmarsh heretic!
00:52:33You die today!
00:52:43Father, what are you doing?
00:52:45He hurt our people!
00:52:47You hit me instead of him?
00:52:49How many times have I told you,
00:52:51keep your head down outside.
00:52:52There is always someone more powerful.
00:52:54If Lord Ethan hadn't shown you mercy today,
00:52:57you would already be dead
00:52:58with nothing left to bury.
00:53:00Father, you're out of your mind!
00:53:01This Blackmarsh heretic
00:53:03hurt our people first!
00:53:04He started this!
00:53:05That slap
00:53:06was for being too blind
00:53:07to recognize divine power.
00:53:10Father, have you lost your mind?
00:53:13That slap was for causing trouble
00:53:15and never learning your lesson.
00:53:17Father, what are you doing?
00:53:19He...
00:53:19And that slap was for your arrogance.
00:53:22You almost destroyed
00:53:23the entire Black Raven clan.
00:53:36What?
00:53:37Darien Chief of the Black Raven clan
00:53:39is kneeling before a border healer?
00:53:41My father has never bowed to anyone.
00:53:43Father, people kneel before the Black Raven clan.
00:53:45How can you kneel for him?
00:53:47Shut up!
00:53:48Do you know who he is?
00:53:53Lord Ethan,
00:53:54this is the seal
00:53:55to the Black Raven treasury.
00:53:56There are 100,000 gold coins inside.
00:53:59Consider it my son's apology gift.
00:54:01And the matter of the Silverstag clan?
00:54:03The Silverstag clan
00:54:04broke an ancient marriage pact
00:54:05and mocked a power they didn't understand.
00:54:06They sealed their own fate.
00:54:10What happened today
00:54:11will never leave this room.
00:54:12The Black Raven clan
00:54:13will make sure this
00:54:14never affect Lord Ethan.
00:54:16Lord Ethan!
00:54:17Please accept the treasury seal.
00:54:19You think this is enough
00:54:21to buy your son's life?
00:54:26The Black Raven clan
00:54:27also has ancient relics,
00:54:28mine deeds,
00:54:29warhorses,
00:54:30and jewels.
00:54:31Please accept them all,
00:54:32Lord Ethan.
00:54:33I only ask you
00:54:33to spare my son today.
00:54:36Father,
00:54:37are you insane?
00:54:38You're kneeling
00:54:39and apologizing to our enemy?
00:54:41Guards,
00:54:42lock him up.
00:54:45Father!
00:54:47Lord Ethan,
00:54:48does this arrangement
00:54:49satisfy you?
00:54:50You have more sense
00:54:51than he does.
00:54:52Fine.
00:54:53I came today
00:54:53only to end the Silverstag marriage pact.
00:54:55The rest of our debts
00:54:56can wait.
00:54:57Thank you for sparing us,
00:54:59Lord Ethan.
00:55:09If anyone leaks a single word
00:55:11of what happened today,
00:55:12if anyone leaks a single word
00:55:13of what happened today,
00:55:14you kill them.
00:55:19Princess Alara,
00:55:20did you come to Black Raven hope
00:55:22because King Orion's curse returned?
00:55:25Father is well.
00:55:26Thank you for asking,
00:55:27Lord Ethan.
00:55:28After you left the royal court,
00:55:30Father learned that
00:55:30Seraphina's marriage partner
00:55:31tonight was Cassian.
00:55:33The Black Raven clan
00:55:34is a top power in the north.
00:55:35They are not as strong
00:55:36as Ash Royal House,
00:55:37but they cannot be underestimated.
00:55:39After the Silflog clan
00:55:40tied themselves to Black Raven,
00:55:42they became even more argant.
00:55:44Father was worried
00:55:45you would be humiliated here,
00:55:46so he sent me to help you.
00:55:48These two families are blind.
00:55:49They failed to recognize
00:55:50your true identity
00:55:51and nearly harmed you.
00:55:53It's nothing.
00:55:53What can a few Black Ravens
00:55:55and Silverstocks do to me?
00:55:58Princess Alara,
00:55:59you came here
00:56:00for another reason.
00:56:01Father sent me to investigate
00:56:02the one who released the curse.
00:56:04We have a lead.
00:56:05Lord Ethan,
00:56:06please return to the royal court
00:56:07with me.
00:56:08Ash Royal Court
00:56:09truly 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
00:56:19to 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
00:56:26is half dead.
00:56:27How do you plan
00:56:27to clean this up?
00:56:34She's just one girl
00:56:35from Silverstag.
00:56:36Is she really that important?
00:56:38There are plenty of clans
00:56:39in the north
00:56:39dying to marry
00:56:40into Black Raven.
00:56:41Are you telling me
00:56:41it has to be Seraphina?
00:56:43What do you know?
00:56:44Seraphina has a rare
00:56:45frost bloodline.
00:56:47Lord Morvane
00:56:47specifically wanted her.
00:56:50Bringing her into
00:56:51the Black Raven clan
00:56:51was the most important part.
00:56:53Your arrogance and blindance
00:56:54ruined something that mattered.
00:56:56Is it really that mystical?
00:56:58I don't believe
00:56:59the Black Raven clan
00:57:00falls apart
00:57:00without Seraphina.
00:57:03And today was already enough.
00:57:04Zeus reborn.
00:57:05Divine punishment.
00:57:07Now some Black Marsh
00:57:08curse lord shows up too.
00:57:09Does this ever end?
00:57:11Lord Morvane,
00:57:12my son is reckless
00:57:13and speaks without thinking.
00:57:14Please forgive him.
00:57:15I will find another way
00:57:16to bring Seraphina back.
00:57:18Father,
00:57:19you're the chief
00:57:19of the Black Raven clan.
00:57:21Even King Aron fears you.
00:57:23Why are you kneeling
00:57:23to this masked man?
00:57:29What did you do to me?
00:57:34Pitching you
00:57:35to keep your mouth shut.
00:57:37Please spare my son.
00:57:40Darion,
00:57:41have you forgotten
00:57:42who raised
00:57:43the Black Raven clan
00:57:44to where it is today?
00:57:45I would never forget.
00:57:46Without your help,
00:57:47the Black Raven clan
00:57:48would be nothing.
00:57:48Please spare my son.
00:57:50As chief of the Black Raven clan,
00:57:51you couldn't even
00:57:51bring me Seraphina.
00:57:52Perhaps the Black Raven clan
00:57:54no longer deserves
00:57:54my support.
00:57:55Father, help me.
00:57:56Mercy, my lord.
00:57:57I've served you faithfully
00:57:58for years.
00:57:59Please give me
00:57:59one more chance.
00:58:00You have one more chance.
00:58:02Fail again
00:58:03and you die.
00:58:04Command me, my lord.
00:58:05I will do
00:58:05whatever it takes.
00:58:08King Orion's
00:58:09second daughter,
00:58:10Princess Lyra.
00:58:12She carries royal blood,
00:58:13soul flame,
00:58:14and Blackmarsh curse energy.
00:58:15She is an even better vessel
00:58:17for a new curse seed
00:58:17than Seraphina.
00:58:18Princess Lyra
00:58:19is 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
00:58:27of your Black Raven clan
00:58:29right now.
00:58:31In 15 minutes,
00:58:32I want her standing before me.
00:58:34Otherwise,
00:58:35you know what happens.
00:58:35I understand.
00:58:37I understand.
00:58:42Lord Ethan,
00:58:43you're here.
00:58:44Please, sit.
00:58:45No need for formalities.
00:58:47Treat this as your own home.
00:58:48King Orion,
00:58:49didn't I tell you to rest?
00:58:51Why are you pushing yourself?
00:58:52Thanks to you,
00:58:53Lord Ethan,
00:58:54I'm already much better.
00:58:57When you treated me,
00:58:59you said the illness
00:59:00came from the Wendigo curse.
00:59:02You asked me to investigate
00:59:03who planted it
00:59:04and tell you once
00:59:04I found a lead.
00:59:06I came as soon
00:59:07as I found something.
00:59:08King Orion,
00:59:09speak plainly.
00:59:11Ten years ago,
00:59:12when my mother passed away,
00:59:14Ash Royal Court
00:59:15had just begun rising.
00:59:17We were blocked
00:59:17at every turn.
00:59:18On my way back
00:59:19to the royal court,
00:59:20I met an old man
00:59:21in a black robe.
00:59:22He said we were faded
00:59:22and gave me a jar
00:59:23of Black Marsh herbs
00:59:24for free.
00:59:25He told me the herbs
00:59:25must not be boiled
00:59:26or drank.
00:59:28If the herbs weren't for drinking,
00:59:30what were they for?
00:59:31To place at the bedside
00:59:32and ward off evil.
00:59:34And then?
00:59:35Then,
00:59:36everything began going smoothly
00:59:37for Ash Royal Court.
00:59:40After that,
00:59:40it became one of the strongest
00:59:42courts in the north.
00:59:43Lord Ethan,
00:59:43you truly see through everything.
00:59:45From that day on,
00:59:46I would lose consciousness
00:59:47from time to time
00:59:48until I met you,
00:59:49Lord Ethan.
00:59:49Those were not
00:59:50soul-calming herbs.
00:59:51They carried the Wendow Curse.
00:59:53The price of Ash Royal Court's
00:59:54rise was the royal bloodline
00:59:55being drained
00:59:56while the court
00:59:56was destroyed from within.
01:00:02Lord Ethan,
01:00:03you saved my family's lives.
01:00:06After I woke up,
01:00:07that jar of Black Marsh herbs
01:00:08disappeared.
01:00:10I searched my memory
01:00:11and found a clue
01:00:12to that person.
01:00:13We learned that the last place
01:00:15he appeared
01:00:16was the Black Marsh border.
01:00:18The Black Marsh border?
01:00:20Isn't that where
01:00:20the Wendigo is sealed?
01:00:21I remember now.
01:00:23When that old man
01:00:24in the black robe
01:00:24gave me the Black Marsh herbs,
01:00:26he asked me
01:00:27if I wanted revenge.
01:00:32Revenge?
01:00:33What was that about?
01:00:34Back then,
01:00:34the herbs and gold coins
01:00:36meant to save
01:00:37my mother's life
01:00:38were stolen by bandits
01:00:39on the road.
01:00:40Her treatment was delayed.
01:00:42In the end,
01:00:43she still passed away.
01:00:48So that was when
01:00:49you met the old
01:00:49man in the black robe.
01:00:50I was in despair
01:00:51when I met him.
01:00:53The first thing he asked
01:00:54was whether I wanted revenge.
01:00:56Did you ever see him
01:00:57again after that?
01:00:59Never.
01:01:00So he knew
01:01:01what you wanted most.
01:01:04I remember something else.
01:01:05Father,
01:01:06please tell us
01:01:06everything at once.
01:01:08That old man
01:01:08wore a black robe
01:01:09with a black cloak
01:01:10over it.
01:01:11On the cloak,
01:01:12there was a very clear
01:01:13black sun emblem.
01:01:17There's a curse
01:01:17in the tea.
01:01:18Don't drink it!
01:01:24Lord Ethan,
01:01:25how is Alara?
01:01:26Princess Alana
01:01:27was hit by the curse
01:01:28in the tea.
01:01:29She'll be safe
01:01:30for now.
01:01:32But the curse
01:01:33inside Princess Alana
01:01:34is a soul-linked curse.
01:01:36It is different
01:01:37from the Wendico curse
01:01:38that was inside you.
01:01:39The soul stays in the body,
01:01:40the person lives.
01:01:41If not,
01:01:42the body can be taken over.
01:01:43The source of this curse
01:01:44is not inside
01:01:45Princess Alara.
01:01:46What?
01:01:46Alara drank the herbal tea.
01:01:48How can the source
01:01:48not be inside her?
01:01:49Lord Ethan,
01:01:49please tell me!
01:01:50The curse seed
01:01:50is inside
01:01:51Princess Lyra.
01:01:55Lord Morvane,
01:01:56as you requested,
01:01:58I brought her here.
01:02:01Who are you?
01:02:02What do you want?
01:02:03Don't be afraid,
01:02:04Princess Lyra.
01:02:05I simply wanted
01:02:06to invite you
01:02:07for tea
01:02:07and 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,
01:02:13but your father,
01:02:14King Arion,
01:02:15and I
01:02:15are old friends.
01:02:17Without my
01:02:17Black Marsh medicine,
01:02:19Ash Royal Court
01:02:19would never have become
01:02:20the strongest court
01:02:21in the North.
01:02:22In other words,
01:02:23in the North,
01:02:24I decide who live.
01:02:26My father may have
01:02:27taken your medicine,
01:02:28but Ash Royal Court
01:02:29rose because of him.
01:02:30What does that
01:02:31have to do with you?
01:02:32I helped, didn't I?
01:02:33I'm only collecting
01:02:34what King Arion owes me.
01:02:38Give Princess Lyra
01:02:40that tea.
01:02:45What are you doing?
01:02:46I...
01:02:46Drink it.
01:02:47No more talking.
01:02:55One soul,
01:02:56two lives.
01:02:57Bind their pain,
01:02:59link them across distance.
01:03:01Life and death
01:03:01as one.
01:03:04What?
01:03:05What did you do to me?
01:03:07Nothing much.
01:03:08Just a soul-linked curse.
01:03:10This curse connects
01:03:11your life with Alara's.
01:03:12If her curse is removed,
01:03:14you die.
01:03:15But if it isn't removed,
01:03:16your sister dies
01:03:17in one hour.
01:03:19Now,
01:03:20I want to see which daughter
01:03:21King Arion chooses to save.
01:03:23Princess Alara
01:03:24or you?
01:03:27You're disgusting.
01:03:29Don't worry.
01:03:30I'm only playing
01:03:31with your royal court.
01:03:32If I wanted you dead,
01:03:34you wouldn't survive today.
01:03:36Send Princess Lyra back.
01:03:40May I speak with
01:03:41Princess Lyra alone?
01:03:43I need to settle
01:03:44a small score from today.
01:03:45Do as you like.
01:03:46Thank you,
01:03:47Lord Morvain.
01:03:50Princess Lyra,
01:03:51let's go.
01:03:52I'll send you home.
01:03:57The curse seat
01:03:58is inside Princess Lyra.
01:03:59If I remove
01:04:00Princess Alara's curse,
01:04:01Princess Lyra will suffer
01:04:02the entire time
01:04:02and may even die.
01:04:03But if I don't remove it,
01:04:04in one hour,
01:04:05Princess Alara will itch all over,
01:04:06bleed from her eyes
01:04:07and mouth and die.
01:04:08King Arion,
01:04:09Morvain is forcing you
01:04:09to choose.
01:04:10Save Princess Alara
01:04:11or save Princess Lyra?
01:04:13Unforgivable.
01:04:14Cursing me wasn't enough
01:04:15and now he's coming
01:04:15after my daughters.
01:04:16But Lord Ethan,
01:04:17if we're saving them,
01:04:18we have to find Lyra
01:04:18within the hour.
01:04:19No need.
01:04:20Princess Lyra
01:04:21is already here.
01:04:22What?
01:04:23Here?
01:04:24She just went to
01:04:25the Black Raven Clan's
01:04:26East Tower Trading House.
01:04:27She can't be here.
01:04:28Your Majesty,
01:04:29something happened.
01:04:30Princess Lyra was badly wounded
01:04:31and dumped outside
01:04:32the Royal Court Gate.
01:04:33Put her down.
01:04:35Send people to watch
01:04:36the Black Raven Clan.
01:04:41Already done.
01:04:42Father.
01:04:44Lyra, what happened?
01:04:45Yesterday,
01:04:46I was reviewing
01:04:47an old contract
01:04:47at the Black Raven Clan's
01:04:49East Tower Trading House.
01:04:50Darian interrupted
01:04:51the meeting
01:04:52and had his men
01:04:52taken me to a secret room
01:04:54inside Black Raven Keep.
01:04:59Darian, Cassian
01:05:00and a masked man
01:05:01tortured me.
01:05:03That masked man
01:05:04placed a curse
01:05:05inside me.
01:05:07Lord Ethan,
01:05:07please save my sister.
01:05:10Princess Lyra,
01:05:11don't be afraid.
01:05:12I'm here.
01:05:15Darian must have
01:05:16a death wish.
01:05:17He dared lay hands
01:05:19on my daughter.
01:05:20Lyra,
01:05:21you said Darian
01:05:22and his son
01:05:22worked with a masked man
01:05:23to curse you.
01:05:24Yes.
01:05:25His name was Morvain.
01:05:29Morvain.
01:05:30Just as I thought.
01:05:31Darian wanted to curse me
01:05:32and kill me.
01:05:33I'll make him pay for this.
01:05:35King Orion,
01:05:35the priority is saving
01:05:36both princesses.
01:05:37Revenge can wait
01:05:38until they're safe.
01:05:38But because of the
01:05:39soul link curse,
01:05:40only one of them
01:05:40can be saved.
01:05:42Do you have a way?
01:05:42Take me to the bedroom.
01:05:43I have a plan.
01:05:45Orin is the one
01:05:46Morvian cursed
01:05:47and controlled.
01:05:48Lyra is clean.
01:05:50Morvian must be
01:05:51using Orin to watch us.
01:05:56No.
01:05:58We need to draw Morvian.
01:05:59King Orion,
01:06:00no matter what happens
01:06:01in this room later,
01:06:02don't let anyone come in.
01:06:03And please,
01:06:04prepare some fresh mint leaves
01:06:05for me.
01:06:06Orin,
01:06:07follow Lord Ethan's
01:06:08instructions.
01:06:10Your Majesty,
01:06:11fresh mint doesn't
01:06:12grow this season.
01:06:14I'll handle it
01:06:15right away.
01:06:16I'll leave this
01:06:17to you,
01:06:17Lord Ethan.
01:06:23I don't know
01:06:23how much longer
01:06:24my body can hold out.
01:06:29Lord Ethan,
01:06:30the man who cursed us
01:06:31said only one of us
01:06:32can live.
01:06:33Is that true?
01:06:34Yes.
01:06:35Then save my sister.
01:06:37She's stronger than I am,
01:06:38just like father.
01:06:39I believe she can take
01:06:41Ash Royal Halt further
01:06:42than I ever could.
01:06:43Princess Lyra,
01:06:43don't worry.
01:06:44Normally,
01:06:45the Soul Link curse
01:06:45allows only one person
01:06:46to live.
01:06:47But I don't follow
01:06:47normal rules.
01:06:48Both of you will be fine.
01:06:50Lord Ethan,
01:06:50you can save both of us?
01:06:52Yes.
01:06:53But the curse
01:06:54is easy to break.
01:06:55The evil inside people
01:06:57is much harder.
01:06:58What do you mean?
01:06:59I'll break the curse first.
01:07:00After Princess Alara wakes,
01:07:02we'll talk.
01:07:03Lie down,
01:07:03close your eyes,
01:07:04and remove your outer robe.
01:07:13Thunderlight of Zeus,
01:07:14separate their souls.
01:07:17Darkness,
01:07:18withdraw.
01:07:19Life,
01:07:20return.
01:07:20Souls,
01:07:21return to your bodies.
01:07:23Soul Link curse,
01:07:24break apart!
01:07:27Watch out!
01:07:31Watch out!
01:07:36Ethan,
01:07:36you're more capable
01:07:37than I expected.
01:07:38You broke the Soul Link curse.
01:07:40In this world,
01:07:40only you could do that.
01:07:42No wonder you're Zeus reborn.
01:07:46He has also been cursed
01:07:47by Morvan.
01:07:48Morvain!
01:07:49Let Orin go!
01:07:53Hand over the curse seed
01:07:54inside King Orion.
01:07:56Try leaving here alive.
01:07:58Your curse seed
01:07:59is right here.
01:08:01Ethan!
01:08:03What a waste!
01:08:05You wasted something
01:08:07that precious
01:08:07just to break a curse.
01:08:10You're beyond saving.
01:08:12Unforgivable!
01:08:13Ethan!
01:08:15Lord Ethan,
01:08:16please save Orin.
01:08:18Orin,
01:08:19hold on.
01:08:20Break free
01:08:21from Morvena's control.
01:08:22Princess Lyra,
01:08:24my mind is clearer than ever.
01:08:26You never should have
01:08:27brought this man back.
01:08:28He ruined everything.
01:08:30I'm sorry.
01:08:32I can't save him.
01:08:33What?
01:08:34Even you can't save him?
01:08:36If even you can't,
01:08:38who can?
01:08:41A curse can be broken,
01:08:42a rotten heart cannot.
01:08:45Only he can save himself.
01:08:47Even a god
01:08:48couldn't do it for him.
01:08:50What do you mean?
01:08:53Orin was never cursed.
01:08:55He was sent here
01:08:56to 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?
01:09:09Do you remember what I said
01:09:10before breaking the curse?
01:09:12I remember.
01:09:13You said curses are easy to break,
01:09:15but the human heart cannot be healed.
01:09:17Lord Ethan,
01:09:18what is going on with Orin?
01:09:19The problem begins with your father.
01:09:22King Orin is at the center of this.
01:09:24If I'm right,
01:09:25King Orin sent him to kill you.
01:09:27No.
01:09:28That's impossible.
01:09:30I must still be dreaming.
01:09:32Sister,
01:09:33pinch me.
01:09:33Wake me up.
01:09:35Lord Ethan,
01:09:36this is not something you joke about.
01:09:38Ask Orin,
01:09:38then you'll know.
01:09:42The black flame mark behind his ear
01:09:44was put there by himself
01:09:45so I would notice it
01:09:46while he led the way.
01:09:47At first,
01:09:47I thought he had been cursed
01:09:48when he met Princess Lyra at the gate.
01:09:50I thought Morvan was using him to watch us.
01:09:53But other than the soul link curse,
01:09:54I found no sign of any other curse
01:09:56on Princess Lyra.
01:09:57And Morvan is confident enough now
01:09:59that if he wanted to kill us,
01:10:00he wouldn't need such a complicated setup.
01:10:02So the problem lies with your father,
01:10:03Princess Lyra,
01:10:04your father did not tell us the truth.
01:10:06Lord Ethan is more than a divine healer.
01:10:08He can see the whole board.
01:10:09Princess Lyra,
01:10:10your biggest mistake
01:10:11was bringing him back to cure the king.
01:10:13His majesty was about to become a god.
01:10:15And your love for your father
01:10:16ruined his plan.
01:10:19What did you say?
01:10:20This was all father's plan?
01:10:21His coma was staged?
01:10:23That can't be true.
01:10:24We brought so many sacred healers to father
01:10:25and none of them could break his curse.
01:10:27Your father's curse was real.
01:10:28Those so-called sacred healers
01:10:30truly couldn't see what was wrong with him.
01:10:31But your father and Morvan
01:10:32have a deep connection.
01:10:34When I woke your father,
01:10:35I disrupted their plan.
01:10:36Since you're all about to die,
01:10:38I might as well tell you the truth.
01:10:39His majesty sought out Morvan himself
01:10:41for immortality
01:10:42and swallowed the Black Marsh curse seed
01:10:43willingly.
01:10:44The day the curse seed breaks out of his body
01:10:45is the day his majesty
01:10:46leaves his mortal body behind
01:10:47and becomes immortal.
01:10:49And Ethan ruined it.
01:10:51No.
01:10:52No.
01:10:52Father would never do that.
01:10:54Nothing is impossible,
01:10:55Princess Lyra.
01:10:56You are too kind
01:10:57and far too easy to fool.
01:10:59In your next life,
01:11:01fix that weakness.
01:11:05It's done.
01:11:13Morvan,
01:11:13I handled Ethan for you.
01:11:15When do I get the Black Marsh curse seed
01:11:18you promised me?
01:11:19You are as ruthless as ever.
01:11:20For immortality,
01:11:21you sacrificed your wife.
01:11:23Now you are willing to sacrifice
01:11:24your daughter's...
01:11:25Wolves do not preach mercy.
01:11:26Great things require sacrifice.
01:11:28I want to see how much use
01:11:29the body of Zeus reborn still has
01:11:31and what kind of curse seed
01:11:33it can reform.
01:11:58Where is my curse seed?
01:12:03Lord Morvan,
01:12:04that boy said he turned
01:12:05your soul link curse into medicine.
01:12:07Damn boy.
01:12:08You even dared turn my curse seed
01:12:10into medicine.
01:12:14Zeus' thunderlight.
01:12:16So he really isn't
01:12:17an ordinary border healer.
01:12:19Morvan,
01:12:20I delivered the man you wanted.
01:12:22Now according to our deal,
01:12:23give me the real Black Marsh curse seed.
01:12:25What deal?
01:12:27You're betraying me?
01:12:28I gave you Ethan
01:12:29and both of my daughters.
01:12:30You promised me
01:12:31the real Black Marsh curse seed.
01:12:33You promised to help me
01:12:34become immortal!
01:12:35Orion,
01:12:37have you forgotten
01:12:38who put you on that throne?
01:12:39I took you from a fallen Roarline
01:12:41and made you
01:12:42King of the North.
01:12:44And now you bring me
01:12:45a few corpses
01:12:45and think you can bargain?
01:12:48You promised me
01:12:49once I gave you Ethan
01:12:50you would help me
01:12:51become immortal.
01:12:52Their lives are worthless.
01:12:53If I want them dead,
01:12:54they die.
01:12:55You're the one
01:12:56who betrayed blood and oath.
01:12:57You sacrificed your wife,
01:12:59then your daughters
01:12:59and now you still want immortality?
01:13:01You're too greedy.
01:13:02I can give you
01:13:03all of Ash Royal Court.
01:13:05Salt mines,
01:13:06hunting grounds,
01:13:07take whatever you want.
01:13:09And what makes you think
01:13:10I care about any of that?
01:13:12Right now,
01:13:13he is worth more than you.
01:13:16Zeus' reborn body
01:13:17and the remains
01:13:18of the cursed seed
01:13:19he refined
01:13:19are far more useful
01:13:21than your old bones.
01:13:23What do you want?
01:13:24Don't ask what I want.
01:13:27Ask what you still have.
01:13:33What if I offer
01:13:34every resource
01:13:34Ash Royal Court has?
01:13:36Ash Royal Court
01:13:37is now the strongest
01:13:38court in the North.
01:13:39Wasn't I the one
01:13:40who put you on that throne?
01:13:41I can make you king
01:13:43and I can make
01:13:43someone else king.
01:13:45You know exactly
01:13:46why I chose you back then.
01:13:48Because my queen
01:13:49had a rare frost bloodline.
01:13:50You wanted to use her
01:13:52as a sacrifice
01:13:53for your soul link, Kurt.
01:13:54You wanted my queen's life
01:13:56and I gave it to you.
01:13:58I gave you my daughters too.
01:13:59What else do you want?
01:14:01Without your blood relatives,
01:14:03you're nothing to me.
01:14:05You.
01:14:08I forgot.
01:14:10You still have one loyal dog.
01:14:18If you want to touch the king,
01:14:19you go through me first.
01:14:21You want to fight me?
01:14:22You don't even know
01:14:23how weak you are.
01:14:26Say it!
01:14:27What do you want?
01:14:28Orion, so many royal families
01:14:30begged me back then.
01:14:31Why did I choose
01:14:31a fallen prince like you?
01:14:33Because you wanted
01:14:34my queen's bloodline.
01:14:35That was only part of it.
01:14:36I chose you because
01:14:37you were ruthless.
01:14:38You dared to give things up.
01:14:40You dared to gamble.
01:14:41Just like now.
01:14:41All I have now
01:14:42is Ash Royal Court
01:14:44and every resource
01:14:45in the north.
01:14:47If you want them,
01:14:49take them.
01:14:50Think harder.
01:14:52What else do you still have?
01:14:54I have nothing left now.
01:14:58You want my life.
01:14:59So you finally understand,
01:15:01yes.
01:15:02I want your life.
01:15:04Your majesty!
01:15:06Run!
01:15:12Such loyalty.
01:15:15Such a worthless death.
01:15:21Hello, Morvain.
01:15:24Or should I call you
01:15:26brother?
01:15:30Nothing is impossible,
01:15:31Princess Lyra.
01:15:33You're too kind
01:15:34and far too trusting.
01:15:35In your next life,
01:15:37fix that weakness.
01:15:40You think you can
01:15:41take my life?
01:15:42This can't be real.
01:15:43I don't believe it.
01:15:44Lyra, wake up.
01:15:45This is real.
01:15:47Since our father
01:15:48wants us dead,
01:15:49we need to decide
01:15:50what we do next.
01:15:51I just used
01:15:52true thunder.
01:15:53Orrin can only
01:15:54tell the truth now.
01:15:54Ask him anything you want.
01:15:57Orrin,
01:15:58was everything you said
01:15:59just now true?
01:16:00Every word.
01:16:01Did you know
01:16:02Princess Lyra
01:16:02was tortured by
01:16:03the Black Riven clan
01:16:05and Morvain?
01:16:06His majesty
01:16:06deliberately sent
01:16:07Princess Lyra
01:16:08to the Black Riven clan's
01:16:09East Tower trading house
01:16:10to investigate
01:16:11an old contract.
01:16:12Princesses,
01:16:13we are already
01:16:14inside the trap.
01:16:15Let's hear how many
01:16:16more secrets
01:16:16King Aran and Morvain
01:16:17are hiding.
01:16:18We'll follow your lead,
01:16:19Lord Ethan.
01:16:22Princesses,
01:16:23forgive me.
01:16:48Brother.
01:16:49Brother,
01:16:50those little tricks of yours
01:16:52won't kill me.
01:16:53Morvain,
01:16:53I've already sealed
01:16:54this room
01:16:54with a thunder barrier.
01:16:55Don't waste your strength.
01:16:57Your Black Marr curses
01:16:57won't work here.
01:16:58Surrender.
01:16:59No wonder you are
01:17:00Zeus reborn.
01:17:01So the power of the
01:17:02old gods really did
01:17:03fall to you.
01:17:03But crushing you
01:17:04would take no effort.
01:17:05I'm not done playing yet,
01:17:06so I'll let you live today.
01:17:08Goodbye.
01:17:21King Aran,
01:17:22what happened today
01:17:23is a matter for Ashcord.
01:17:25I won't interfere,
01:17:26but there are things
01:17:26you need to tell
01:17:27the truth about.
01:17:28You all heard it.
01:17:31We heard.
01:17:32Father,
01:17:33you were willing
01:17:33to trade all our lives
01:17:34for your immortality
01:17:35and your throne.
01:17:36Do you even deserve
01:17:37to be our father?
01:17:38King Aran,
01:17:39that curse cannot
01:17:40make you immortal.
01:17:41It cannot make you a god.
01:17:43It will only keep
01:17:44feeding on your soul
01:17:44and your family's souls
01:17:45until your house is destroyed.
01:17:47If immortality
01:17:48were truly that easy,
01:17:49why would Morvan
01:17:50give it to a mortal
01:17:51with no divine power
01:17:52instead of keeping it
01:17:52for himself?
01:17:54So,
01:17:55I was never
01:17:56Morvan's chosen one.
01:17:58I was his experiment.
01:18:01When I had just
01:18:02taken over Ash Royal Court,
01:18:03I signed a major
01:18:04saltmine contract.
01:18:05Halfway through,
01:18:06our allied clan
01:18:07suddenly withdrew.
01:18:08It nearly destroyed us.
01:18:09I had knights to feed.
01:18:11My mother needed
01:18:11life-saving medicine.
01:18:12Elira and Lyra
01:18:13were still young.
01:18:14Every corner of the court
01:18:16needed gold.
01:18:16I went to them
01:18:17again and again,
01:18:18begging them not to pull out.
01:18:19Every time,
01:18:19they refused.
01:18:20Just like that,
01:18:21the saltmine contract collapsed.
01:18:22The royal court
01:18:23was on the edge.
01:18:24My mother died
01:18:24on her sickbed.
01:18:25After I left her sickroom,
01:18:26I went to the altar
01:18:27of the old gods
01:18:28to ask for guidance.
01:18:28When I came out,
01:18:30I met Morvan.
01:18:31He asked if I wanted revenge.
01:18:32I was blinded by hate.
01:18:34I thought the old gods
01:18:36had answered me,
01:18:36so I made a deal with him.
01:18:38With all our lives
01:18:40as the price for your greed?
01:18:41He promised that
01:18:42within 15 years,
01:18:43I would rule the North
01:18:44and become immortal.
01:18:45I was young and arrogant.
01:18:47I agreed before
01:18:48he even finished speaking.
01:18:49And the price
01:18:50was your entire family's lives?
01:18:51No!
01:18:52The price was a lifetime
01:18:53of being alone.
01:18:54Then congratulations.
01:18:56You got exactly
01:18:57what you wanted.
01:18:57From now on,
01:18:59you will be alone
01:18:59for the rest of your life.
01:19:01Princess Alara,
01:19:01not yet.
01:19:02Let King Orion finish.
01:19:03He gave me the price
01:19:05before I understood it.
01:19:06When he said the cost
01:19:07was a lifetime alone,
01:19:08I felt nothing.
01:19:09What's the difference?
01:19:11A lifetime of being alone
01:19:12doesn't only mean
01:19:13losing your family.
01:19:15It means from that day on,
01:19:17there was no one
01:19:18beside me I could trust.
01:19:19Then congratulations.
01:19:21You got exactly
01:19:22what you wanted.
01:19:23From now on,
01:19:23you will be alone
01:19:24for the rest of your life.
01:19:25Princess Alara,
01:19:26not yet.
01:19:27Let King Orion finish.
01:19:28He gave me the price
01:19:29before I understood it.
01:19:31When he said the cost
01:19:32was a lifetime alone,
01:19:33I felt nothing.
01:19:34He gave me a jar
01:19:35of Black Marsh herbs.
01:19:37He told me not to boil them
01:19:38or drink them,
01:19:39only to place them
01:19:39by the bed.
01:19:40Because of where
01:19:41I placed them,
01:19:42that very night
01:19:42I had a terrible fight
01:19:43with the Queen.
01:19:45Looking back now,
01:19:45that was when
01:19:46the price began.
01:19:49The Queen saw that thing
01:19:50and couldn't sleep.
01:19:51That night,
01:19:52she slept on the fur bench
01:19:53in the outer hall.
01:19:55When I woke up,
01:19:56the herbs were still there,
01:19:57but the curse seed
01:19:58inside them was gone.
01:20:00If I'm right,
01:20:00that curse seed
01:20:01was never meant for you.
01:20:02It was meant for your Queen
01:20:03because she carried
01:20:04the rare frost bloodline.
01:20:06At first,
01:20:06there were no signs at all.
01:20:08Then,
01:20:08after Lyra turned 18,
01:20:10the Queen suddenly coughed blood
01:20:11in the royal court inner chamber
01:20:12and died.
01:20:13When I prepared her body,
01:20:15I regretted making that deal.
01:20:17I found him
01:20:18and told him
01:20:18the deal was off.
01:20:20I said I wanted out.
01:20:21You only saw
01:20:22what you gained.
01:20:23You never understood
01:20:24what you lost.
01:20:25What did I gain?
01:20:27What did I gain?
01:20:28The royal court.
01:20:30A court that belonged to me.
01:20:32The greatest royal court
01:20:34in the North.
01:20:35And after that?
01:20:36Ash royal court
01:20:37grew stronger by the day.
01:20:39It did not even take 15 years.
01:20:41It became the strongest
01:20:43royal court in the North.
01:20:44Princess Lyla's illness
01:20:46in a way
01:20:47also came from you.
01:20:49Yes.
01:20:50It came from me.
01:20:51But I had no way back.
01:20:54All I could do
01:20:54is keep moving forward.
01:20:56Give them the best
01:20:57of everything.
01:20:58Material things.
01:20:59To make up
01:21:00for what I owed them.
01:21:02I would rather
01:21:03have lived poor
01:21:03than watch our family
01:21:05fall apart.
01:21:06Be torn to pieces.
01:21:08Illness can be healed.
01:21:09Desire is harder to remove.
01:21:11That's because you've
01:21:12never been desperate.
01:21:13Every person has desires.
01:21:15I did what I had to do.
01:21:16Then what about your mother
01:21:17who built everything
01:21:17with you from nothing?
01:21:18Sometimes,
01:21:19for the future of a kingdom,
01:21:21one person's sacrifice
01:21:22means nothing.
01:21:23You're beyond saving.
01:21:25You're not the father I knew.
01:21:28At this point,
01:21:29I only want to step down
01:21:30and leave Ash court behind.
01:21:33The Blackstone royal token.
01:21:35Whoever holds it
01:21:36speaks with the king's authority.
01:21:38From this day on,
01:21:40Ash royal court
01:21:42is yours to command.
01:21:49This filthy thing,
01:21:51let it rot.
01:21:55Ten Ash royal courts
01:21:57could never buy back
01:21:59mother's life.
01:22:00Ellara,
01:22:01you are exactly like I was
01:22:02when I first took over
01:22:02the royal court.
01:22:03Fearless.
01:22:04But one day,
01:22:05you'll understand.
01:22:06reality will crush you
01:22:07until you can't breathe.
01:22:09And this token
01:22:10is the weapon
01:22:10that lets you survive it.
01:22:12Lyra, come here.
01:22:13Let your father
01:22:14hold you one last time.
01:22:15If only your mother
01:22:16were here now.
01:22:24Father, father, father, father.
01:22:30Princesses,
01:22:31the dead cannot return.
01:22:32King Orion had already
01:22:33taken poison.
01:22:34We were here the whole time.
01:22:36When did he take it?
01:22:37He knew he had too many
01:22:37enemies in the north.
01:22:39If he ever fell into their hands.
01:22:40It was his last shred
01:22:41of dignity.
01:22:42Lord Ethan,
01:22:43you can save people.
01:22:44Please, you have to save him.
01:22:45There's still time.
01:22:47I'm...
01:22:48Father.
01:22:49He knew he had
01:22:50too many enemies
01:22:51in the north.
01:22:52If he ever fell
01:22:53into their hands,
01:22:54he hid it in his tooth.
01:22:55It was his final foulback.
01:22:57Princess Lyra,
01:22:58King Orion's belief
01:22:59in immortality
01:23:00has shattered.
01:23:00He caused the queen's death
01:23:02and nearly killed
01:23:02both of you.
01:23:03Even if I brought him back,
01:23:04I'm afraid.
01:23:05This is not the time
01:23:06to cry.
01:23:07Handle father's funeral
01:23:08and the court's affairs.
01:23:09Lord Ethan and I
01:23:10will settle the score
01:23:11with Morvan.
01:23:11Princess Ellara,
01:23:12you truly are
01:23:13King Orion's daughter.
01:23:14Calm under pressure.
01:23:15Born to rule.
01:23:16Princess Ellara,
01:23:17not yet.
01:23:20Morvan's Black Marsh
01:23:21curses are strange.
01:23:22If we go now
01:23:23without preparation,
01:23:24we're just walking
01:23:25to our deaths.
01:23:26I have something for you.
01:23:28What is this?
01:23:29Toad Blyle Powder.
01:23:30Once applied,
01:23:31it's colorless and odorless,
01:23:32but deadly to Black Marsh
01:23:33curse bugs.
01:23:34Think of it as armor
01:23:35for your body.
01:23:39I thought it over.
01:23:41Better to end a threat
01:23:42before it spreads.
01:23:44If I leave you alone,
01:23:46sooner or later,
01:23:46you'll ruin everything.
01:23:49So, Ethan,
01:23:51die.
01:23:52Perfect.
01:23:53Saves me the trouble
01:23:54of finding you.
01:23:55Give me back
01:23:56my mother's life!
01:23:58Give me back
01:23:59my curse seed.
01:24:00Bloodline.
01:24:02Soul.
01:24:05Immortality.
01:24:06Come to me!
01:24:17What's happening?
01:24:19How can he still
01:24:19cast curses?
01:24:20Didn't he set up
01:24:21a thunder barrier here?
01:24:22To me,
01:24:23it makes no difference.
01:24:25You think this boy
01:24:26is powerful enough
01:24:27to break down my curse?
01:24:29Ridiculous.
01:24:30If you want it so badly,
01:24:32I'll give it back.
01:24:33By my thunder light,
01:24:34open the path back.
01:24:38My curse bugs?
01:24:39Why are they gone?
01:24:40How do you know
01:24:41the Black Marsh curse tongue?
01:24:42I am Zeus Reborn.
01:24:44No dark art
01:24:45stays hidden from me.
01:24:46I've seen through
01:24:46your curse work, Morvain.
01:24:48You miscalculated.
01:24:49Then I'll take
01:24:50the souls you protect
01:24:52and repair
01:24:52my broken one.
01:24:55These are
01:24:55motion-hunting
01:24:56curse bugs.
01:24:57They attack
01:24:58anything alive
01:24:59that moves.
01:25:00Once they stick
01:25:01to you for 30 seconds,
01:25:02you'll be nothing
01:25:03but bones.
01:25:04They leave
01:25:04the flesh untouched.
01:25:06They only eat
01:25:07the bones.
01:25:08After you die,
01:25:10I'll make cloaks
01:25:10from your skin.
01:25:15Ethan,
01:25:16do you know
01:25:17why you became
01:25:18Zeus Reborn?
01:25:21Morvain,
01:25:22you use curse bugs
01:25:23to devour
01:25:24other people's lives
01:25:25and repair
01:25:25your own broken soul.
01:25:27So what?
01:25:27The strong survive
01:25:29by devouring the weak.
01:25:30You're right.
01:25:31So today,
01:25:32it's your turn
01:25:33to be devoured.
01:25:40Don't you dare.
01:25:42Black Marsh,
01:25:42open.
01:25:43Curse blood,
01:25:44awaken.
01:25:44Take his soul
01:25:45and make his power
01:25:47mine.
01:25:48Thunder,
01:25:48shatter the darkness.
01:25:52My curse bugs.
01:25:54How did they disappear?
01:25:56Sister!
01:25:57Let's see if you're
01:25:58willing to kill her
01:25:59just to destroy me.
01:26:01Ethan,
01:26:01what are you waiting for?
01:26:02Do it!
01:26:02If my life can take
01:26:04this monster down,
01:26:06it's worth it.
01:26:06Brother,
01:26:07join me.
01:26:08You command
01:26:09divine healing.
01:26:11I command
01:26:11Black Marsh curses.
01:26:13Together,
01:26:13this whole world
01:26:14could be ours.
01:26:15Everyone chooses
01:26:16their own path.
01:26:17I won't steal
01:26:17another life
01:26:18to change mine.
01:26:19In all my life,
01:26:20you're the only one
01:26:21who has ever dared
01:26:22refuse me, Ethan.
01:26:23Then die with her!
01:26:27Impossible!
01:26:27How do you know
01:26:28the strongest
01:26:28Black Marsh curse?
01:26:29You're wrong.
01:26:31To you,
01:26:32this is the strongest
01:26:32Black Marsh cursed.
01:26:34To me,
01:26:35it's nothing.
01:26:36Spend the rest
01:26:37of your life
01:26:38inside my inner prison.
01:26:39No!
01:26:40No!
01:26:41No!
01:26:50You're awake.
01:26:51Are you alright?
01:26:52Are you hurt?
01:26:53Where is Morvayne?
01:26:55I'm fine.
01:26:56I trapped him
01:26:57inside my inner prison.
01:26:59He will spend
01:27:00the rest of his life
01:27:01there.
01:27:02Sister!
