Two dark mages
are traveling through Xadia
3
00:00:22,732 --> 00:00:25,569
trying to unleash an ancient
and mysterious evil.
4
00:00:26,111 --> 00:00:29,781
Great dragons, I beseech you,
help us find them.
5
00:00:34,035 --> 00:00:36,204
We have to go to the Great Bookery
of Lux Aurea
6
00:00:36,288 --> 00:00:38,248
to search for the Scrolls
of the First Elves
7
00:00:38,331 --> 00:00:40,959
and learn everything we can
about Aaravos before he returns.
8
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:43,628
"And I'm coming with you."
9
00:00:43,712 --> 00:00:46,339
And you are hereby banished,
10
00:00:46,423 --> 00:00:47,716
never to return.
11
00:00:48,758 --> 00:00:49,801
Please...
12
00:00:50,385 --> 00:00:52,637
Show me that not all is lost.
13
00:00:54,097 --> 00:00:57,392
You are our only hope,
Prince Karim of Lux Aurea.
14
00:00:58,143 --> 00:01:01,313
Lead us back to glory.
15
00:02:04,334 --> 00:02:07,629
{\an8}
16
00:02:24,604 --> 00:02:25,981
It's peaceful.
17
00:02:26,064 --> 00:02:31,319
Super creepy, a bit spooky.
Might even say "eerie."
18
00:02:31,403 --> 00:02:32,237
But peaceful!
19
00:02:33,989 --> 00:02:36,116
"The city is full of hidden danger."
20
00:02:36,199 --> 00:02:40,954
"The corruption of the Sun Orb infected
innocent creatures and changed them."
21
00:02:42,789 --> 00:02:44,165
Of course!
22
00:02:44,249 --> 00:02:48,420
That must have been what attacked us
that night, a corrupted Banther.
23
00:02:48,503 --> 00:02:50,630
Oh, it was horrible.
24
00:02:50,714 --> 00:02:54,050
"Janai wanted so badly
to cleanse Lux Aurea,
25
00:02:54,134 --> 00:02:55,510
but we failed."
26
00:02:55,594 --> 00:02:58,263
"The shadowmonsters
are dangerous killers."
27
00:02:58,346 --> 00:03:00,765
"But even worse, just a single scratch
28
00:03:00,849 --> 00:03:05,020
would spread the corruption
to elves, humans, horses."
29
00:03:05,103 --> 00:03:08,398
"The infected became corrupted shadows
within a matter of days."
30
00:03:09,524 --> 00:03:12,694
"The shadowbeasts hide
during the day to avoid the Sun."
31
00:03:12,777 --> 00:03:14,779
"We have five hours before sundown...
32
00:03:16,865 --> 00:03:18,742
five hours to complete our mission."
33
00:03:23,788 --> 00:03:24,831
This is it.
34
00:03:25,665 --> 00:03:28,335
The Great Bookery of Lux Aurea.
35
00:03:59,699 --> 00:04:04,412
I have so many happy memories here
from my time at university.
36
00:04:04,496 --> 00:04:08,083
Would you like to see my favorite place
in the Great Bookery?
37
00:04:11,461 --> 00:04:12,420
Ta-da!
38
00:04:14,798 --> 00:04:17,759
Is that a, uh, book drop?
39
00:04:17,842 --> 00:04:22,180
Perhaps to your untrained eye,
it is merely a book drop,
40
00:04:22,264 --> 00:04:25,809
but to me
it was an impenetrable reading fortress.
41
00:04:25,892 --> 00:04:30,146
I figured out the secret to opening it
by watching the librarians.
42
00:04:32,983 --> 00:04:36,111
I would sometimes hide in there
after the library closed
43
00:04:36,194 --> 00:04:38,321
so I could read all night.
44
00:04:39,990 --> 00:04:42,367
Looks cozy.
45
00:04:42,450 --> 00:04:45,328
I did have a book dropped on my head
from time to time,
46
00:04:45,412 --> 00:04:47,998
but most of them were quite interesting.
47
00:04:48,081 --> 00:04:51,793
"Enough reminiscing about your wild
and crazy student years."
48
00:04:51,876 --> 00:04:54,337
"We only have until sundown,
so get to work."
49
00:05:59,236 --> 00:06:01,905
Go away.
50
00:06:08,078 --> 00:06:10,830
So, what is it exactly we're looking for?
51
00:06:10,914 --> 00:06:13,124
Startouch elf cultural practices?
52
00:06:13,208 --> 00:06:15,919
Perhaps one of the many
Startouch prophecies?
53
00:06:16,002 --> 00:06:17,295
What do we need to learn?
54
00:06:18,129 --> 00:06:19,714
How to kill a Startouch elf.
55
00:06:21,091 --> 00:06:25,387
Hmm, I don't think
there's a dedicated section for that.
56
00:06:34,604 --> 00:06:38,066
"Rayla, there's something
I've been meaning to say to you."
57
00:06:38,149 --> 00:06:40,318
"Back when I first met you
at the Banther Lodge,
58
00:06:41,111 --> 00:06:43,488
it wasn't right the way I treated you."
59
00:06:43,572 --> 00:06:45,949
Oh, you mean by trying to kill me?
60
00:06:47,534 --> 00:06:50,745
"I judged you
because you were an elf."
61
00:06:50,829 --> 00:06:53,748
"Now I know how very wrong I was
about elves."
62
00:06:55,750 --> 00:06:57,627
"I'm in love with one."
63
00:06:57,711 --> 00:06:58,545
"Anyway...
64
00:06:59,671 --> 00:07:01,798
I am truly sorry that I threatened you."
65
00:07:02,799 --> 00:07:06,011
Eh, no bother. Apology accepted.
66
00:07:08,096 --> 00:07:09,723
"That means a lot to me."
67
00:07:14,436 --> 00:07:16,563
"Now that that's out of the way..."
68
00:07:16,646 --> 00:07:18,732
"If you ever hurt my nephew Callum again...
69
00:07:21,151 --> 00:07:22,277
I will kill you."
70
00:07:29,951 --> 00:07:32,037
I am Prince Karim.
71
00:07:33,413 --> 00:07:36,666
Corruption and treachery
have infected Xadia.
72
00:07:36,750 --> 00:07:39,544
It's a wound that has been festering
for a thousand years.
73
00:07:40,670 --> 00:07:43,423
Humans in their weakness
allowed evil to flourish.
74
00:07:43,506 --> 00:07:48,428
And though the land was divided,
now humans have come back to Xadia.
75
00:07:48,511 --> 00:07:51,973
The Sunfire Kingdom is lost in darkness.
76
00:07:52,057 --> 00:07:54,559
They're waiting for the light to return.
77
00:08:03,818 --> 00:08:10,533
They are waiting for you,
the true King of the Dragons.
78
00:08:37,394 --> 00:08:40,230
Hey, this is interesting. A poem.
79
00:08:40,313 --> 00:08:44,317
Kazi... I like poems too,
but we have to focus.
80
00:08:44,401 --> 00:08:48,822
No, no, no, this poem
is called "The Death of the Immortal."
81
00:08:50,740 --> 00:08:53,493
You think I meant to hurt Callum?
82
00:08:53,577 --> 00:08:55,412
That's the last thing I wanted.
83
00:08:56,997 --> 00:08:59,666
"You abandoned him, you broke his heart."
84
00:08:59,749 --> 00:09:01,835
I was trying to protect him.
85
00:09:01,918 --> 00:09:03,128
I left without him
86
00:09:03,211 --> 00:09:06,298
because I couldn't bear
to put him in danger.
87
00:09:06,381 --> 00:09:08,675
I knew I had to be strong alone.
88
00:09:11,553 --> 00:09:13,054
"You know who you sound like?"
89
00:09:13,138 --> 00:09:14,931
- Who?
- "Me."
90
00:09:16,975 --> 00:09:17,976
Oh...
91
00:09:18,852 --> 00:09:20,937
Thanks, I think.
92
00:09:23,231 --> 00:09:24,399
"When I was growing up,
93
00:09:24,482 --> 00:09:30,655
my big sister Sarai was the smartest,
strongest, bravest person I knew."
94
00:09:31,406 --> 00:09:34,993
"When she died,
I felt lost and weak without her."
95
00:09:36,411 --> 00:09:41,875
"I hated feeling that way,
so I learned to be strong alone."
96
00:09:41,958 --> 00:09:44,044
"Stoic, strong...
97
00:09:45,086 --> 00:09:46,087
and lonely."
98
00:09:48,298 --> 00:09:50,800
That does sound like me sometimes.
99
00:09:52,594 --> 00:09:55,138
"But the last two years
have changed everything."
100
00:09:55,222 --> 00:09:57,474
"Meeting Janai, falling in love,
101
00:09:58,516 --> 00:10:00,685
I am stronger than I ever was...
102
00:10:01,853 --> 00:10:03,563
because we are stronger together."
103
00:10:04,648 --> 00:10:09,110
"And I realized that was the real truth
of me and Sarai too."
104
00:10:09,194 --> 00:10:11,529
"Love and trust grow a kind of strength
105
00:10:11,613 --> 00:10:13,740
that is much bigger than we each possess."
106
00:10:14,658 --> 00:10:18,161
"To have that kind of strength,
it's not enough to love someone."
107
00:10:20,747 --> 00:10:23,541
"You have to trust them
to share the burdens you carry."
108
00:10:59,744 --> 00:11:00,787
Thank you.
109
00:11:02,956 --> 00:11:04,833
Would it be okay if I...?
110
00:11:12,340 --> 00:11:14,634
Xadia needs you.
111
00:11:14,718 --> 00:11:16,845
Sol Regem, the Sun King.
112
00:11:17,762 --> 00:11:21,349
You can make them believe the Sun
will shine again.
113
00:11:21,433 --> 00:11:23,393
Then behold...
114
00:11:24,352 --> 00:11:28,356
the once great Sun King.
115
00:11:29,232 --> 00:11:32,402
Bask in the brilliant rays of light
116
00:11:32,485 --> 00:11:37,490
that shine through the holes
in my tattered wings.
117
00:11:37,574 --> 00:11:43,622
Gaze upon the mighty face
of my golden glory,
118
00:11:43,705 --> 00:11:46,708
dripping with seared flesh,
119
00:11:46,791 --> 00:11:51,671
melted by evil magic.
120
00:11:51,755 --> 00:11:56,968
Bow down
before the swollen oozing bedsores
121
00:11:57,052 --> 00:12:00,722
of a magnificent archdragon,
122
00:12:00,805 --> 00:12:06,645
lying motionless and depressed
for decades.
123
00:12:16,488 --> 00:12:21,534
I lost my hope
long before I lost my sight.
124
00:12:22,202 --> 00:12:26,248
The Sun will never rise again for me.
125
00:12:35,882 --> 00:12:41,221
I've lived centuries
in this eternal night.
126
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:46,893
Go...
127
00:12:47,435 --> 00:12:48,603
away.
128
00:12:57,737 --> 00:13:00,782
"...and though undying,
took last breath,
129
00:13:00,865 --> 00:13:03,410
immortal Laurelion was no more."
130
00:13:03,493 --> 00:13:04,619
That's good, right?
131
00:13:04,703 --> 00:13:07,664
I mean, when someone "was no more,"
that-that's dead, yeah?
132
00:13:07,747 --> 00:13:12,794
It's a bit confusing,
but that is the clearest implication.
133
00:13:12,877 --> 00:13:17,424
Though, it is somewhat odd
they call them undying and immortal.
134
00:13:17,507 --> 00:13:19,718
Well, that doesn't sound so immortal?
135
00:13:19,801 --> 00:13:24,014
- Laurelion "was no more."
- Right.
136
00:13:24,097 --> 00:13:26,641
- But how? How did they...?
- Right here.
137
00:13:26,725 --> 00:13:29,019
"White as the star's heart it pierced,
138
00:13:29,102 --> 00:13:34,566
ivory draconic brought death's bite
known ever forth as Novablade."
139
00:13:37,611 --> 00:13:38,695
It's a sword.
140
00:13:39,446 --> 00:13:43,116
A weapon that can end
a Startouch Elf's mortal existence.
141
00:13:43,199 --> 00:13:45,201
The weapon.
142
00:13:45,285 --> 00:13:46,620
We did it.
143
00:13:46,703 --> 00:13:47,746
We found the answer.
144
00:13:48,580 --> 00:13:52,083
Research.
It's fun and it saves the world sometimes.
145
00:13:54,753 --> 00:13:56,379
Hey, Callum?
146
00:13:58,715 --> 00:13:59,966
We need to talk.
147
00:14:09,017 --> 00:14:11,770
Callum. There's a burden I'm carrying.
148
00:14:11,853 --> 00:14:14,356
And I've kept it a secret,
149
00:14:14,439 --> 00:14:20,237
and maybe that's part of what's
making things weirder with us.
150
00:14:21,071 --> 00:14:26,451
But I think I know that I trust you
to help me carry this.
151
00:14:26,534 --> 00:14:28,995
If you're okay with that?
152
00:14:29,079 --> 00:14:31,581
Rayla, we've been through a lot.
153
00:14:31,665 --> 00:14:34,334
And a lot has changed.
154
00:14:34,417 --> 00:14:39,839
Ah, um, well, some things have changed,
but not everything.
155
00:14:39,923 --> 00:14:40,924
Uh...
156
00:14:41,591 --> 00:14:42,926
I would do anything for you.
157
00:14:54,312 --> 00:14:58,108
Runaan isn't dead. My parents aren't dead.
158
00:14:58,817 --> 00:15:00,443
Lord Viren did something to them.
159
00:15:00,527 --> 00:15:04,155
He captured their spirits
in these cursed coins.
160
00:15:04,239 --> 00:15:07,659
It hurts me to know
they're trapped like this.
161
00:15:07,742 --> 00:15:09,369
It's agonizing.
162
00:15:09,452 --> 00:15:13,123
But I know our mission comes first.
163
00:15:13,206 --> 00:15:18,044
The world is in danger,
and you can trust me to stay focused.
164
00:15:23,717 --> 00:15:26,595
We can help them.
Rayla, we can undo this spell.
165
00:15:26,678 --> 00:15:28,305
Not yet, Callum.
166
00:15:28,388 --> 00:15:30,307
Believe me, I want to do something, but...
167
00:15:30,390 --> 00:15:34,644
I saw something on one of the scrolls
we were just reading. I'm sure of it.
168
00:15:34,728 --> 00:15:38,523
A spell that can restore bodies
to separated spirits.
169
00:15:39,399 --> 00:15:40,734
"It's almost sundown."
170
00:15:42,485 --> 00:15:43,862
"Time to get going."
171
00:15:47,407 --> 00:15:49,367
Callum, we have to leave.
172
00:15:49,451 --> 00:15:51,453
Two minutes, that's all I need.
173
00:15:51,536 --> 00:15:53,079
Just give me one minute, two, uh...
174
00:15:53,163 --> 00:15:54,623
I said... I mean, give me two minutes.
175
00:15:57,417 --> 00:15:59,294
That was our chance.
176
00:15:59,377 --> 00:16:00,545
And we failed.
177
00:16:02,005 --> 00:16:03,006
No.
178
00:16:03,798 --> 00:16:05,425
He may have closed the door...
179
00:16:07,177 --> 00:16:09,012
but he gave us the key.
180
00:16:09,763 --> 00:16:11,223
What key?
181
00:16:11,306 --> 00:16:14,309
Blindness has made Sol Regem bitter.
182
00:16:14,893 --> 00:16:20,440
We will find a way
to heal the great archdragon's eyes.
183
00:16:27,864 --> 00:16:28,949
"It's sundown."
184
00:16:29,032 --> 00:16:31,785
"You need to get out of the city
as fast as possible."
185
00:16:32,661 --> 00:16:34,913
"I'll get Callum,
and we'll catch up with you."
186
00:16:49,594 --> 00:16:51,137
I found something.
187
00:16:55,225 --> 00:16:57,644
Wait, I need that to save Rayla's parents.
188
00:17:02,274 --> 00:17:03,567
Yes!
189
00:17:05,860 --> 00:17:08,363
The spell is complex,
and it uses star magic
190
00:17:08,446 --> 00:17:11,116
so, to do it, I need these.
191
00:17:11,199 --> 00:17:12,325
Quasar Diamonds.
192
00:17:12,409 --> 00:17:17,205
There are only three in the entire world,
and you'll never guess where they are.
193
00:17:17,289 --> 00:17:19,791
- The Starscraper.
- Never heard of it.
194
00:17:20,792 --> 00:17:23,753
It happens to be the same place
where they keep the Novablade.
195
00:17:23,837 --> 00:17:26,590
That's great. What's a Novablade?
196
00:17:37,976 --> 00:17:39,728
"There's a second exit. Follow me."
197
00:18:03,627 --> 00:18:04,961
Ahh!
198
00:18:37,869 --> 00:18:39,079
What now?
199
00:18:42,082 --> 00:18:43,083
"We fight."
200
00:18:44,376 --> 00:18:47,212
Remember, even one scratch,
and you'll be corrupted.
201
00:18:58,390 --> 00:18:59,349
Ahh!
202
00:19:01,935 --> 00:19:03,937
Aspiro Frigis!
203
00:20:14,382 --> 00:20:15,759
Shoot, Rayla!
204
00:20:15,842 --> 00:20:17,302
Ventum angulus!
205
00:20:38,615 --> 00:20:40,242
We did it. Barely.
206
00:20:41,701 --> 00:20:45,205
We make a good team. Stronger together.
207
00:20:49,334 --> 00:20:53,296
So safer to pick exit number one,
or exit number two?
208
00:20:54,798 --> 00:20:56,883
I think you spoke too soon.
209
00:21:12,607 --> 00:21:14,401
There's too many this time.
210
00:21:30,250 --> 00:21:32,294
Rayla, I was wrong.
211
00:21:32,377 --> 00:21:34,546
I waited too long.
212
00:21:34,629 --> 00:21:36,131
- I hope you know--
- I know.
213
00:22:13,251 --> 00:22:17,297
All the action you can handle...
at the library.
214
00:22:17,380 --> 00:22:18,965
Come on, everybody, climb on.
215
00:22:27,724 --> 00:22:29,392
Bait! We left Bait.
216
00:23:13,228 --> 00:23:15,188
We're not leaving without you, Aunt Amaya.
217
00:23:22,737 --> 00:23:24,072
Go!
218
00:24:08,909 --> 00:24:11,828
It's been the greatest honor
to serve under you.
219
00:24:37,187 --> 00:24:38,772
The book drop. They made it.
220
00:24:39,314 --> 00:24:40,232
They'll be safe.
