184
00:10:37,418 --> 00:10:38,293
[elfyn] Get back!
185
00:10:39,918 --> 00:10:41,043
[elf] Get away!
186
00:10:42,918 --> 00:10:44,001
Down!
187
00:10:44,084 --> 00:10:46,334
[adventurous music continues]
188
00:10:48,668 --> 00:10:49,834
Like I showed you.
189
00:10:54,751 --> 00:10:56,418
[grunting]
190
00:11:06,251 --> 00:11:07,918
-[sighs] Aah.
-[explosion]
191
00:11:08,501 --> 00:11:10,251
-[Fjall] Good?
-[Alvitir] Good.
192
00:11:10,334 --> 00:11:11,668
[breathing shakily]
193
00:11:12,501 --> 00:11:14,418

[tense music playing]

-[pounding at door]
-[gasps]
197
00:11:29,126 --> 00:11:30,209
Enter.
198
00:11:33,168 --> 00:11:35,293
-Apologies.
-It's all right, Fjall.
199
00:11:35,918 --> 00:11:37,501
Decorum be damned.
200
00:11:38,418 --> 00:11:39,293
[laughs softly]
201
00:11:41,543 --> 00:11:43,209
Dog Clan sealed the palace.
202
00:11:44,084 --> 00:11:46,793
No one's in or out
until we find out who's behind this.
203
00:11:47,876 --> 00:11:49,751
Now, I want you to hang on to this.
204
00:11:51,168 --> 00:11:52,168
Just for now.
205
00:11:53,376 --> 00:11:54,418
You saved us.
206
00:11:55,584 --> 00:11:56,584
[Fjall sighs]
207
00:11:57,418 --> 00:11:58,459
You saved me.
208
00:11:59,709 --> 00:12:00,959
You saved yourself.
209
00:12:03,959 --> 00:12:06,959
You've always been there
when I've needed you.
210
00:12:09,168 --> 00:12:10,168
It's my duty.
211
00:12:11,293 --> 00:12:13,459
Well, we both know
that it's more than that.
212
00:12:13,543 --> 00:12:15,668
[tender music playing]
213
00:12:25,876 --> 00:12:27,168
[sighs]
214
00:12:28,293 --> 00:12:30,209
-We agreed.
-[sighs]
215
00:12:30,293 --> 00:12:32,668
You might be able to forget, but I can't.
216
00:12:32,751 --> 00:12:34,626
I haven't forgotten.
217
00:12:36,543 --> 00:12:38,751
-If we'd have been caught--
-But we weren't.
218
00:12:39,918 --> 00:12:41,584
Fjall, I nearly died today.
219
00:12:44,084 --> 00:12:45,876
I won't die living a lie.
220
00:12:45,959 --> 00:12:46,876
[sighs]
221
00:12:46,959 --> 00:12:48,168
[tender music continues]
222
00:12:55,959 --> 00:12:57,084
[Fjall groans]
223
00:13:00,668 --> 00:13:02,626
I was born to be your protector.
224
00:13:05,168 --> 00:13:06,376
So protect me.
225
00:13:14,834 --> 00:13:16,543
No markings on the assassins.
226
00:13:16,626 --> 00:13:18,834
Captain Eredin
is rounding up suspects for interrogation.
227
00:13:18,918 --> 00:13:21,168
Eredin doesn't know
his arse from his elbow.
228
00:13:21,251 --> 00:13:22,584
Fuck him and his shiny army.
229
00:13:22,668 --> 00:13:24,793
Where the fuck were they today
when it counted?
230
00:13:24,876 --> 00:13:27,084
Couldn't organize a ride in a brothel.
231
00:13:27,876 --> 00:13:28,793
Where's Fjall?
232
00:13:29,459 --> 00:13:30,793
[gasping]
233
00:13:30,876 --> 00:13:32,709
[tense music playing]
234
00:13:42,584 --> 00:13:43,584
Fuck.
235
00:13:45,709 --> 00:13:47,709
[horses neighing]
236
00:13:49,084 --> 00:13:51,459
Just kill me. Be done with it.
237
00:13:51,959 --> 00:13:54,001
No. You need to suffer.
238
00:13:54,709 --> 00:13:56,001
In disgrace.
239
00:13:56,084 --> 00:13:59,459
New king,
assassins waitin' in every shadow,
240
00:13:59,543 --> 00:14:01,418
and you couldn't even keep control
of your cock.
241
00:14:02,459 --> 00:14:06,209
Thank the gods Kareg didn't live
to see you betray your own clan.
242
00:14:06,293 --> 00:14:09,209
I know you wished he returned from battle
that day instead of me.
243
00:14:10,251 --> 00:14:11,418
I never said that.
244
00:14:12,543 --> 00:14:13,543
Didn't have to.
245
00:14:15,001 --> 00:14:17,043
I've wished the same every day since.
246
00:14:17,543 --> 00:14:19,751
I needed both of you by my side.
247
00:14:20,418 --> 00:14:24,668
He was taken, and you were supposed
to take over as chieftain.
248
00:14:26,043 --> 00:14:27,501
But you betrayed your clan.
249
00:14:28,668 --> 00:14:29,668
Your oath.
250
00:14:30,543 --> 00:14:31,751
You betrayed me.
251
00:14:37,126 --> 00:14:38,293
[Fjall] The border.
252
00:14:41,001 --> 00:14:41,876
Aye.
253
00:14:45,168 --> 00:14:46,418
[sighs]
254
00:14:47,501 --> 00:14:48,834
Let's be done with it.
255
00:14:55,334 --> 00:14:56,959
Fjall Stoneheart,
256
00:14:58,043 --> 00:15:02,084
you have broken your oath
as royal protector
257
00:15:02,168 --> 00:15:03,959
and betrayed your birth clan.
258
00:15:04,043 --> 00:15:07,543
You are hereby banished from Xin'trea.
259
00:15:07,626 --> 00:15:09,459
[somber music playing]
260
00:15:09,543 --> 00:15:10,751
Dog Clan disown you.
261
00:15:12,209 --> 00:15:13,084
As do I.
262
00:15:28,418 --> 00:15:31,084
You'll die forgotten. And unspoken.
263
00:15:36,543 --> 00:15:37,543
Goodbye, Father.
264
00:15:49,168 --> 00:15:50,084
Yah!
265
00:15:50,959 --> 00:15:52,126
[neighs]
266
00:15:55,543 --> 00:15:56,918
[knock at door]
267
00:16:01,168 --> 00:16:02,668
-[elf] Shall I guess?
-[door closes]
268
00:16:02,751 --> 00:16:04,751
The Solryth Sagas.
269
00:16:04,834 --> 00:16:06,293
Don't mock, brother.
270
00:16:06,376 --> 00:16:09,793
You're obsessed. You need
at least one friend who isn't a book.
271
00:16:10,668 --> 00:16:11,918
[groans]
272
00:16:12,668 --> 00:16:16,168
I don't know how you live like this.
Mm-- The smell alone.
273
00:16:16,251 --> 00:16:21,501
All this is our future.
What has happened will happen again.
274
00:16:21,584 --> 00:16:23,584
-Oh, you're a seer now.
-No.
275
00:16:24,293 --> 00:16:26,751
I just don't deny
what's in front of my own eyes.
276
00:16:28,293 --> 00:16:31,793
Dwarven script, fifteen hundred years old,
277
00:16:31,876 --> 00:16:33,959
telling of Solryth's arrival.
278
00:16:34,501 --> 00:16:39,126
The siege of their city
before she drove them out
279
00:16:39,209 --> 00:16:41,876
and built Xin'trea on its ruins.
280
00:16:41,959 --> 00:16:44,918
History is all around us, brother,
281
00:16:45,751 --> 00:16:48,418
reminding us how brilliant we once were,
282
00:16:48,501 --> 00:16:51,501
and how brilliant
we can be again if we try.
283
00:16:52,959 --> 00:16:56,001
I could be of use to you, you know.
284
00:16:56,084 --> 00:16:57,293
As an-- an adviser--
285
00:16:57,376 --> 00:17:00,043
The generals and mages
would eat you alive.
286
00:17:02,126 --> 00:17:05,793
But there is a role for you, sister,
in all of this.
287
00:17:05,876 --> 00:17:09,334
Now that your little indiscretion
with Fjall has been taken care of,
288
00:17:09,418 --> 00:17:11,209
it's time to look to the future.
289
00:17:11,293 --> 00:17:14,084
-I've found a worthy suitor for you.
-[sighs]
290
00:17:14,168 --> 00:17:16,168
The king of Pryshia is a widower.
291
00:17:16,668 --> 00:17:20,751
A marriage between our kingdoms
would make him amenable to signing.
292
00:17:20,834 --> 00:17:22,834
[dissonant ethereal music playing]
293
00:17:23,543 --> 00:17:24,918
Oh… [laughs softly]
294
00:17:26,001 --> 00:17:30,501
Of course.
Whatever… you need to achieve peace.
295
00:17:33,459 --> 00:17:36,459
A brighter future. Thanks to you.
296
00:17:37,084 --> 00:17:38,168
Hmm?
297
00:17:38,751 --> 00:17:41,251
Queen Merwyn of Pryshia.
298
00:17:41,334 --> 00:17:42,459
[Merwyn laughs softly]
299
00:17:46,334 --> 00:17:49,543
[dissonant music swells]
300
00:17:55,459 --> 00:17:56,834
[adventurous music playing]
301
00:17:56,918 --> 00:17:59,459
[mysterious elfyn]
Deep in the Valley of Lost Souls,
302
00:17:59,543 --> 00:18:02,876
a lone warrior sought answers
to the strange skies
303
00:18:02,959 --> 00:18:06,918
that had suddenly cast
their ominous shadow across the land.
304
00:18:08,626 --> 00:18:10,834
But her ancestors remained silent.
305
00:18:12,334 --> 00:18:14,626
Nothing like this
had ever happened before.
306
00:18:17,293 --> 00:18:21,668
For another had learned to tear
the veils between worlds.
307
00:18:21,751 --> 00:18:23,001
[clicking]
308
00:18:25,376 --> 00:18:26,709
[rumbling]
309

[pulses of energy]
310
00:18:32,709 --> 00:18:34,709
[wind rushing]
311
00:18:46,293 --> 00:18:47,709
[echoing crash]
312
00:18:47,793 --> 00:18:49,084
I've returned.
313
00:18:51,084 --> 00:18:55,584
[female voice, echoing]
Defeated or victorious, Chief Sage Balor?
314
00:18:56,709 --> 00:18:58,834
My assassination attempt failed.
315
00:18:59,459 --> 00:19:00,793
I need your help.
316
00:19:06,251 --> 00:19:09,043
So tell me, how did you learn to fight?
317
00:19:12,084 --> 00:19:13,793
[Lark] I was born into Raven Clan.
318
00:19:14,293 --> 00:19:16,168
No! You were a protector?
319
00:19:16,251 --> 00:19:17,168
Indeed.
320
00:19:18,168 --> 00:19:21,793
Loyal bodyguard to King Midir
and the royal family of Pryshia.
321
00:19:21,876 --> 00:19:24,084
So you must know
Lady Cethlenn of the Knives.
322
00:19:24,834 --> 00:19:25,709
She's my mother.
323
00:19:25,793 --> 00:19:27,209
-What?
-[laughs]
324
00:19:27,293 --> 00:19:29,001
What are you doing here?
325
00:19:29,584 --> 00:19:33,126
You could be at the palace
with the kings and queens and heroes.
326
00:19:33,626 --> 00:19:35,126
I chose this path.
327
00:19:35,959 --> 00:19:37,376
[laughs softly]
328
00:19:37,459 --> 00:19:38,918
When I was a young girl,
329
00:19:39,793 --> 00:19:42,459
my sword master had
a key harp on her wall.
330
00:19:43,668 --> 00:19:44,959
I fell in love with it.
331
00:19:45,959 --> 00:19:49,668
My mother tried to save me,
but I was lost to the music.
332
00:19:50,418 --> 00:19:53,751
And so I became a roving bard.
333
00:19:55,334 --> 00:19:56,334
Here.
334
00:19:59,126 --> 00:20:00,126
[gasps]
335
00:20:02,834 --> 00:20:03,959
[plays gently]
336
00:20:04,626 --> 00:20:05,668
[laughs]
337
00:20:06,668 --> 00:20:07,918
[sighs]
338
00:20:11,793 --> 00:20:12,834
[sighs]
339
00:20:13,668 --> 00:20:16,001
I wish I had a calling
for something like that.
340
00:20:16,626 --> 00:20:19,918
All I have is a sickness.
341
00:20:20,001 --> 00:20:22,668
I have visions, fits,
342
00:20:23,293 --> 00:20:27,001
and the people in the town
are scared of me.
343
00:20:28,334 --> 00:20:30,959
The ignorant are always jealous
of anyone with gifts.
344
00:20:34,668 --> 00:20:36,209
-[banging at door]
-[elf 1] Open up!
345
00:20:36,293 --> 00:20:38,626
-Or we'll burn this hole to the ground.
-[Lark] Oh, shit.
346
00:20:38,709 --> 00:20:39,584
[elf 2] You in there?
347
00:20:39,668 --> 00:20:42,709
Why do assholes run to town guards
when they get their asses kicked?
348
00:20:47,959 --> 00:20:49,626
[guard] Singing, my ass!
349
00:20:51,876 --> 00:20:52,918
[sighs]
350
00:20:54,293 --> 00:20:55,751
[snoring]
351
00:21:01,084 --> 00:21:03,376
Dog Clan? What the fuck?
352
00:21:04,293 --> 00:21:05,376
Hey!
353
00:21:05,959 --> 00:21:09,043
Aah. One of Cethlenn's
scrawny little ravens.
354
00:21:09,126 --> 00:21:12,251
Better a scrawny raven
than one of Osfar's mangy bitches.
355
00:21:13,584 --> 00:21:14,793
Huh?
356
00:21:14,876 --> 00:21:17,626
Aye. Probably right there, Raven.
357
00:21:18,126 --> 00:21:19,876
-The name's--
-Fjall Stoneheart.
358
00:21:19,959 --> 00:21:21,126
Son of Osfar.
359
00:21:21,209 --> 00:21:22,584
I remember that pendant
360
00:21:22,668 --> 00:21:25,751
from when you took my cousin's eye
in the Battle of Brokilon.
361
00:21:25,834 --> 00:21:28,459
I swore to her I'd kill you

00:31:44,459 --> 00:31:45,918
[wind whistling]
538
00:31:48,834 --> 00:31:49,751
What the fuck?
539
00:31:52,126 --> 00:31:52,959
This mark.
540
00:31:56,043 --> 00:31:57,709
Xin'trean army. Fifth column.
541
00:32:04,418 --> 00:32:05,584
I know her.
542
00:32:05,668 --> 00:32:08,251
She's a cavalry captain
in the Pryshian army.
543
00:32:08,334 --> 00:32:09,959
A Darwenish infantry dagger.
544
00:32:12,626 --> 00:32:14,251
It makes no sense.
545
00:32:14,334 --> 00:32:16,751
Why are soldiers
from three kingdoms at war
546
00:32:16,834 --> 00:32:18,334
working together to kill us?
547
00:32:20,126 --> 00:32:21,084
The treaty.
548
00:32:22,168 --> 00:32:25,709
-Niamh came to tell me about a treaty.
-I know. I was sent for too.
549
00:32:27,209 --> 00:32:29,334
-Shit!
-Someone didn't want clan warriors there.
550
00:32:29,418 --> 00:32:32,084
It's the armies, they're finally
making a move against the monarchies.
551
00:32:32,168 --> 00:32:35,543
-I need to get to Xin'trea, warn my clan.
-So do I.
552
00:32:35,626 --> 00:32:37,001
Fuck your clan.
553
00:32:37,084 --> 00:32:40,334
Look, there are bound to be
more of these stabby fuckers on the way.
554
00:32:40,418 --> 00:32:42,126
We'll have more chance
if we stick together.
555
00:32:43,209 --> 00:32:45,126
Despite you being a pain in me hole.
556
00:32:49,834 --> 00:32:50,751
Fine.
557
00:32:50,834 --> 00:32:51,959
[under breath] Right.
558
00:32:53,168 --> 00:32:56,459
But cross me
and I'll feed your cock to the dogs.
559
00:32:59,084 --> 00:33:01,001
I don't fucking trust you, Stoneheart.
560
00:33:01,668 --> 00:33:02,501
Nor I you…
561
00:33:05,459 --> 00:33:06,293
Lark.
562
00:33:06,376 --> 00:33:07,751
They killed my sister.
563
00:33:07,834 --> 00:33:09,293
The Lark is dead.
564
00:33:11,834 --> 00:33:13,001
My name is Éile.
565
00:33:16,251 --> 00:33:19,709
[Éile] We'll meet again
in the halls of Caer Aenwyn, sister.
566
00:33:27,709 --> 00:33:30,668
[mysterious elfyn]
And so the Lark no longer soared alone.
567
00:33:31,334 --> 00:33:33,501
One had become two.
568
00:33:52,418 --> 00:33:53,376
[gasps]
569
00:33:57,251 --> 00:33:58,834
[delicate clicking]
570
00:33:58,918 --> 00:34:00,543
[whispers] Please.
571
00:34:00,626 --> 00:34:01,626
[elfyn] Princess?
572
00:34:02,209 --> 00:34:05,834
[Merwyn] Ket, I fixed it!
Solryth's eyes blaze once more.
573
00:34:05,918 --> 00:34:07,209
[Ket] We need to get you dressed.
574
00:34:07,293 --> 00:34:11,418
Don't you see? When all hope was lost,
they led her ships to this continent,
575
00:34:11,501 --> 00:34:13,584
and now they light our skies again.
576
00:34:13,668 --> 00:34:15,334
It's a sign, Ket.
577
00:34:15,418 --> 00:34:17,668
Maybe there's hope for me too.
578
00:34:18,543 --> 00:34:21,209
Your brother will have my guts
if I don't make you look presentable
579
00:34:21,293 --> 00:34:23,126
in time to meet your future husband.
580
00:34:24,751 --> 00:34:25,751
Yes, of course.
581
00:34:29,001 --> 00:34:31,626
[horns blasting]
582
00:34:32,959 --> 00:34:36,418
[mysterious elfyn] With highborn hostages
exchanged between the warring kingdoms,
583
00:34:36,501 --> 00:34:38,918
the other monarchs
had sailed to sign a treaty
584
00:34:39,001 --> 00:34:41,668
that would finally end
the Thousand-Year War.
585
00:34:42,834 --> 00:34:46,126
King Midir of Pryshia
and his Raven Clan warriors.
586
00:34:46,709 --> 00:34:50,793
Queen Neera of Darwen
and her Serpent Clan warriors.
587
00:34:51,709 --> 00:34:56,459
And Alvitir, the brave architect
of a new dawn for elfkind.
588
00:35:03,168 --> 00:35:04,918
I love you, brother.
589
00:35:21,293 --> 00:35:23,584
Warriors of Xin'trea.
590
00:35:25,209 --> 00:35:28,209
Thanks to the bravery of our royal guests,
591
00:35:29,209 --> 00:35:34,751
today shall see our long, dark night
of war and hunger end at last.
592
00:35:35,751 --> 00:35:40,418
A new dawn will rise upon the Continent
for all elfkind.
593
00:35:41,001 --> 00:35:45,043
Famine replaced by peace and prosperity.
594
00:35:46,084 --> 00:35:48,959
A united Continent once again.
595
00:35:49,043 --> 00:35:52,084
-A Continent of possibility.
-[murmuring]
596
00:35:53,334 --> 00:35:55,334
We are Xin'trean.
597
00:35:55,418 --> 00:35:57,084
We are Pryshian.
598
00:35:57,168 --> 00:35:58,668
We are Darwenish.
599
00:35:58,751 --> 00:35:59,626
[groans]
600
00:35:59,709 --> 00:36:01,501
-[Alvitir] But we will all be…
-Your Majesty?
601
00:36:01,584 --> 00:36:03,126
-Summon the physic.
-No.
602
00:36:03,209 --> 00:36:05,709
-It's just… nerves.
-[Alvitir] …one, as strong and…
603
00:36:05,793 --> 00:36:07,709
Perhaps I should retire to my chambers.
604
00:36:07,793 --> 00:36:11,584
[Alvitir] …day we first landed
on these shores and civilized this land.
605
00:36:12,709 --> 00:36:13,834
So I call upon…
606
00:36:15,543 --> 00:36:18,709
gracious Queen Neera of Darwen,
607
00:36:18,793 --> 00:36:20,126
[noble music playing]
608
00:36:20,209 --> 00:36:23,709
and good King Midir of Pryshia…
609
00:36:27,543 --> 00:36:33,126
to join with me
as allies in this new dawn.
610
00:36:36,084 --> 00:36:37,543
[echoing thud]
611
00:36:38,251 --> 00:36:39,459
[echoing crash]
612
00:36:41,918 --> 00:36:43,501
-[Ket gasps]
-[guard choking]
613
00:36:50,626 --> 00:36:52,376
-[crash]
-[snarling]
614
00:36:52,459 --> 00:36:53,626
[elf yells] What's that?
615
00:36:58,751 --> 00:37:00,626
Fire!
616
00:37:02,584 --> 00:37:03,876
[chittering]
617
00:37:06,918 --> 00:37:08,334
Free them!
618
00:37:08,418 --> 00:37:09,709
[screaming]
619
00:37:10,668 --> 00:37:12,668
-[growling]
-[machinery clanking]
620
00:37:14,584 --> 00:37:16,293
Go back the way we came!
621
00:37:16,376 --> 00:37:18,001
[screams]
622
00:37:23,543 --> 00:37:24,668
[screams]
623
00:37:28,001 --> 00:37:29,418
[screeching]
624
00:37:34,209 --> 00:37:38,084
[mysterious elfyn] In that moment,
the Elven world had changed forever.
625
00:37:38,168 --> 00:37:42,751
A thousand years of monarchies,
kingdoms, and clans were erased.
626
00:37:42,834 --> 00:37:43,918
It's done.
627
00:37:46,543 --> 00:37:47,501
Indeed.
628
00:37:48,334 --> 00:37:50,001
My beast has done well.
629
00:37:50,084 --> 00:37:52,126
The peace treaty had allowed Balor
630
00:37:52,209 --> 00:37:55,793
to turn war-hungry mages
and generals against their monarchies.
631
00:37:55,876 --> 00:37:58,293
It was just the beginning.
632
00:37:58,376 --> 00:37:59,418
Empress.
633
00:38:00,668 --> 00:38:02,459
The three kingdoms are yours.
634
00:38:05,126 --> 00:38:07,709
All hail the new Golden Empire.
635
00:38:08,293 --> 00:38:09,126
[Balor] Rise.
636
00:38:09,751 --> 00:38:11,334
We have much to do.
637
00:38:11,418 --> 00:38:13,418
[dramatic music playing]
638
00:38:15,084 --> 00:38:17,043
[Éile] This storm's unnatural.
639
00:38:17,126 --> 00:38:19,209
[Fjall] We're sailing
for safe harbor in Gaylth.
640
00:38:19,293 --> 00:38:21,751
[Éile] That's not even close to Xin'trea.
641
00:38:21,834 --> 00:38:24,751
[Fjall] We're no use to our clans
at the bottom of the ocean.
642
00:38:27,334 --> 00:38:28,834
[echoing scream]
643
00:38:28,918 --> 00:38:30,418
[snarling]
644
00:38:41,584 --> 00:38:43,668
[mysterious elfyn] Merwyn was free now.
645
00:38:43,751 --> 00:38:45,709
Free to write her own story.
646
00:38:46,209 --> 00:38:48,751
Just as her hero Solryth had.
647
00:38:48,834 --> 00:38:51,168
To start a new golden era.
648
00:38:52,251 --> 00:38:53,293
[gasps softly]
649
00:38:53,376 --> 00:38:55,709
This was her destiny.
650
00:38:56,418 --> 00:38:58,418
[elf shouts] Empress!
651
00:38:59,626 --> 00:39:01,626
[crowd cheering]
652
00:39:01,709 --> 00:39:03,709
[dramatic music playing]
653
00:39:05,168 --> 00:39:06,834
She plays her part well.
654
00:39:08,918 --> 00:39:11,251
A shiny thing to appease the masses.
655
00:39:11,918 --> 00:39:15,418
They all fall so eagerly into place,
despite their world turning on its head.
656
00:39:16,459 --> 00:39:19,751
Faced with chaos,
the people will always choose order.
657
00:39:19,834 --> 00:39:21,293
No matter the cost.
658
00:39:21,376 --> 00:39:23,334
Or how blatant the farce.
659
00:39:24,626 --> 00:39:26,251
How long do we need her?
660
00:39:26,334 --> 00:39:27,501
[Balor] We shall see.
661
00:39:28,376 --> 00:39:30,084
Take me down to my people.
662
00:39:30,168 --> 00:39:31,501
[armor rattles]
663
00:39:35,543 --> 00:39:36,543
[elf in crowd whistling]
664
00:39:36,626 --> 00:39:37,876
[gasps]
665
00:39:39,459 --> 00:39:41,459
[applause and cheering continue]
666
00:39:44,751 --> 00:39:46,959
[loud cheering]
667
00:39:48,501 --> 00:39:51,501
[dramatic music swells]
668
00:40:05,418 --> 00:40:07,501
[gulls calling]
669
00:40:07,584 --> 00:40:09,459
[bell ringing]
670
00:40:13,668 --> 00:40:16,376
[mysterious elfyn] The skies
and seas were not the only thing
671
00:40:16,459 --> 00:40:18,251
to have changed without warning.
672
00:40:19,043 --> 00:40:20,959
[Éile] What the fuck are those flags?
673
00:40:21,043 --> 00:40:24,793
-I've never seen that crest before.
-[Fjall] Not Pryshian. That's for sure.
674
00:40:27,043 --> 00:40:30,209
Let's head to this tavern. Get some locals
drunk, find out what's going on.
675
00:40:30,293 --> 00:40:31,918
With what coin, exactly?
676
00:40:32,876 --> 00:40:34,459
Too long on the clan teat.
677
00:40:34,959 --> 00:40:37,084
You need to cultivate
some initiative, boy.
678
00:40:37,584 --> 00:40:38,668
-Oof!
-Sorry.
679
00:40:38,751 --> 00:40:40,084
[laughter]
680
00:40:41,209 --> 00:40:42,876
-[thunder rumbles]
-[coins jingle]
681
00:40:46,001 --> 00:40:47,084
Come on, then!
682
00:40:47,168 --> 00:40:48,334
[thunder rumbling]
683
00:40:53,376 --> 00:40:54,876
Mmm. [smacks lips]
684
00:40:59,459 --> 00:41:00,918
[elfyn] At least she ended the war.
685
00:41:01,876 --> 00:41:04,626
Not many'd have the stomach
to kill your own kin.
686
00:41:04,709 --> 00:41:06,376
[elfyn] And her own brother, no less.
687
00:41:06,459 --> 00:41:09,418
-Calling herself Empress Merwyn now.
-Empress?
688
00:41:09,501 --> 00:41:11,543
Wiped out the lot of 'em in one go.
689
00:41:11,626 --> 00:41:14,543
Useless royal bastards
and their poxy clans.
690
00:41:15,293 --> 00:41:16,668
-She killed them all…
-[Fjall] No.
691
00:41:16,751 --> 00:41:18,376
That's impossible.
692
00:41:18,459 --> 00:41:20,668
[elf] How does one princess
no one's ever heard of
693
00:41:20,751 --> 00:41:24,293
manage to take the whole Continent
easy as piss like that?
694
00:41:24,376 --> 00:41:28,209
I heard she's got herself
a three-headed beast, the size of a ship.
695
00:41:28,709 --> 00:41:30,168
Sucks on her teat like a babe.
696
00:41:30,251 --> 00:41:31,543
-[laughter]
-[elf] Beast!
697
00:41:33,126 --> 00:41:34,209
[elfyn] A beast?
698
00:41:34,293 --> 00:41:35,834
Lay off the godhead pipe.
699
00:41:39,501 --> 00:41:40,501
Beast or no,
700
00:41:41,543 --> 00:41:44,751
no Xin'trean bitch is gonna tell me
I'm not Pryshian anymore.
701
00:41:47,626 --> 00:41:49,293
Yeah, you lot are worse.
702
00:41:50,168 --> 00:41:53,543
Paradin' around in your Pryshian armor
mere suns ago.
703
00:41:54,043 --> 00:41:57,793
Traitorous pissants,
dressed in that cunt's armor.
704
00:41:58,793 --> 00:42:01,251
Fuckin' slut's got you lot by the balls!
705
00:42:01,334 --> 00:42:02,584
-[crowd gasping]
-[groans]
706
00:42:07,834 --> 00:42:09,501
Anyone seen 'em?
707
00:42:10,084 --> 00:42:13,293
Éile of Raven Clan, Fjall of Dog Clan.
708
00:42:24,584 --> 00:42:26,626
-[grunts]
-We need to be smart about this.
709
00:42:27,126 --> 00:42:29,668
If you can't control your fire
because someone insulted your lover,
710
00:42:29,751 --> 00:42:30,793
we should part ways now.
711
00:42:30,876 --> 00:42:34,584
-This has nothing to do with her.
-This has everything to do with her.
712
00:42:36,418 --> 00:42:40,084
She killed our clans.
713
00:42:43,251 --> 00:42:44,501
[elf] One! Two!
714
00:42:44,584 --> 00:42:46,084
[elves groaning]
715
00:42:46,668 --> 00:42:48,001
One! Two!
716
00:42:48,084 --> 00:42:49,751
[all groan]
717
00:42:49,834 --> 00:42:51,084
-One…
-You!
718
00:42:51,168 --> 00:42:52,293
-Oof!
-[all groan]
719
00:42:52,376 --> 00:42:54,293
[Eredin] The largest we've excavated yet.
720
00:42:54,376 --> 00:42:57,001
[Balor] I need more power
to stabilize the gateways.
721
00:42:57,084 --> 00:43:00,918
-How many monoliths have you raised?
-Three in the north, two in the south.
722
00:43:01,418 --> 00:43:04,209
Another five excavated
being configured with Syndril's sigils.
723
00:43:04,293 --> 00:43:07,584
Not enough to power a gateway
for a legion. Why the delay?
724
00:43:08,168 --> 00:43:10,709
[elf] Have at you! Pull!
725
00:43:10,793 --> 00:43:11,668
The empire's young.
726
00:43:11,751 --> 00:43:13,501
[workers groan]
727
00:43:13,584 --> 00:43:15,501
Our troops are stretched thin.
728
00:43:15,584 --> 00:43:17,793
You absorbed the entire Darwen
and Pryshian army.
729
00:43:17,876 --> 00:43:19,668
How can you be stretched thin?
730
00:43:21,168 --> 00:43:23,376
There were more deserters
than anticipated.
731
00:43:25,084 --> 00:43:27,168
And since your purge of so many mages--
732
00:43:27,251 --> 00:43:28,709
Non-cooperative mages.
733
00:43:28,793 --> 00:43:31,918
Crop failures are worsening.
Bread riots are running rampant--
734
00:43:32,001 --> 00:43:33,001
Then quell them.
735
00:43:33,834 --> 00:43:36,084
Those that make excuses
don't make history.
736
00:43:36,168 --> 00:43:37,668
[elf] I said pull!
737
00:43:37,751 --> 00:43:38,959
Pull!
738
00:43:42,334 --> 00:43:44,168
[Balor] What of Fjall Stoneheart?
739
00:43:44,251 --> 00:43:46,376
[Eredin] He escaped our assassins
on Inis Dubh.
740
00:43:46,459 --> 00:43:49,126
-[crash echoing]
-Along with the Raven Clan warrior.
741
00:43:49,209 --> 00:43:52,293
But we have elite troops
scouring the Continent as we speak.
742
00:43:52,376 --> 00:43:54,918
[Balor] That's a heroic folktale
waiting to happen.
743
00:43:56,293 --> 00:43:58,043
End them. Now.
744
00:44:01,168 --> 00:44:03,168
[wind whistling]
745
00:44:05,626 --> 00:44:06,709
[Fjall sighs]
746
00:44:06,793 --> 00:44:08,251
[horse whinnies]
747
00:44:09,793 --> 00:44:12,626
Horses are secure. I'll take first watch.
748
00:44:13,376 --> 00:44:14,376
-[rubs hands]
-[coughs]
749
00:44:14,459 --> 00:44:16,209
Maybe some of them survived.
750
00:44:17,418 --> 00:44:18,501
[sighs]
751
00:44:19,126 --> 00:44:21,084
My clan would have fought to the death.
752
00:44:22,751 --> 00:44:23,918
So would yours.
753
00:44:24,751 --> 00:44:25,668
A monster.
754
00:44:27,043 --> 00:44:29,834
How can that even exist?
Where did it come from?
755
00:44:30,876 --> 00:44:32,584
There was a mage in Xin'trea.
756
00:44:33,418 --> 00:44:34,251
Syndril.
757
00:44:34,334 --> 00:44:36,918
He dug up and raised
an ancient Dwarven monolith.
758
00:44:38,626 --> 00:44:41,709
He used it to… open up
a gateway to another world.
759
00:44:41,793 --> 00:44:44,251
-The monster came from there?
-I mean, maybe.
760
00:44:45,751 --> 00:44:48,668
-I know it sounds insane.
-There are old stories of other worlds.
761
00:44:48,751 --> 00:44:50,334
And nothing's been right since.
762
00:44:50,418 --> 00:44:52,834
-Even the skies have changed.
-And the seas too.
763
00:44:53,543 --> 00:44:54,584
Everything's off.
764
00:44:54,668 --> 00:44:57,751
But even with the beast,
Merwyn had no power to pull this off.
765
00:44:59,043 --> 00:45:02,043
There has to be someone else behind this.
The generals, or the mages--
766
00:45:02,126 --> 00:45:03,876
-You're making excuses for her.
-No.
767
00:45:04,418 --> 00:45:08,168
If, now I mean if, she's Empress,
then she was involved.
768
00:45:09,334 --> 00:45:10,959
She'll pay with her blood
for what she did.
769
00:45:11,043 --> 00:45:12,918
I should have died with my clan.
770
00:45:14,959 --> 00:45:15,876
Me too.
771
00:45:18,793 --> 00:45:20,084
We're the last of us.
772
00:45:21,876 --> 00:45:24,334
They'll erase our clans from history.
773
00:45:24,418 --> 00:45:25,793
Not as long as we breathe.
774
00:45:26,293 --> 00:45:28,084
Then we end them before they end us.
775
00:45:28,168 --> 00:45:29,334
Raven Clan.
776
00:45:29,834 --> 00:45:31,001
Dog Clan.
777
00:45:31,584 --> 00:45:32,959
How can we trust each other?
778
00:45:35,584 --> 00:45:36,626
By the blade.
779
00:45:39,293 --> 00:45:41,001
[gentle bagpipe music playing]
780
00:45:43,834 --> 00:45:44,876
By the blade.
781
00:45:52,418 --> 00:45:53,668
[gasps]
782
00:45:57,251 --> 00:46:01,501
We find Merwyn, end her beast
and anyone who stands with her.
783
00:46:03,459 --> 00:46:04,668
[Fjall grunts]
784
00:46:06,418 --> 00:46:07,751
Send them all to clay.
785
00:46:09,418 --> 00:46:10,709
Blood sworn.
786
00:46:11,793 --> 00:46:12,668
To the end.
787
00:46:13,334 --> 00:46:14,251
To the end.
788
00:46:15,501 --> 00:46:17,709
[Ket] Your brother. How could you?
789
00:46:17,793 --> 00:46:20,709
[Merwyn] I'd no choice, Ket.
He'd written my life for me.
790
00:46:20,793 --> 00:46:22,459
I was destined for more.
791
00:46:22,543 --> 00:46:24,668
Old stories are bound to repeat.
792
00:46:24,751 --> 00:46:27,043
They just need
the right person to tell them.
793
00:46:27,626 --> 00:46:30,293
When Solryth died,
we turned on each other.
794
00:46:30,376 --> 00:46:35,251
A great golden era
destroyed by an endless cycle of war.
795
00:46:35,334 --> 00:46:38,084
And one my brother's treaty
would have paused, at best.
796
00:46:40,543 --> 00:46:45,418
Balor and Eredin
want to use Syndril's gateways
797
00:46:46,793 --> 00:46:47,918
to conquer.
798
00:46:48,418 --> 00:46:51,543
But conquest for conquest's sake
means nothing.
799
00:46:53,334 --> 00:46:55,709
I want to civilize these new worlds.
800
00:46:57,709 --> 00:47:01,876
Bring our art,
our science, and culture to them,
801
00:47:02,626 --> 00:47:05,626
and create a new golden era
for all of elfkind.
802
00:47:05,709 --> 00:47:06,626
You th--
803
00:47:07,459 --> 00:47:09,126
You think you're Solryth.
804
00:47:10,084 --> 00:47:11,126
No.
805
00:47:13,293 --> 00:47:14,126
Not yet.
806
00:47:16,001 --> 00:47:18,543
Not while I remain Balor's puppet.
807
00:47:20,793 --> 00:47:23,168
I need to become Empress
in more than just name.
808
00:47:23,793 --> 00:47:28,376
Or all of this,
every drop of blood spilled,
809
00:47:28,459 --> 00:47:29,793
will have been in vain.
810
00:47:31,459 --> 00:47:33,126
I just have to find a way.
811
00:47:34,293 --> 00:47:36,293
[breathing heavily]
812
00:47:42,751 --> 00:47:43,959
What have I done?
813
00:47:45,334 --> 00:47:47,501
[Balor] You've unlocked the future,
Syndril.
814
00:47:50,584 --> 00:47:53,459
Without your knowledge,
none of this would have been possible.
815
00:47:54,334 --> 00:47:57,668
Now the master monolith is raised,
who knows what worlds await?
816
00:47:58,751 --> 00:48:00,584
Ready your final calculations
817
00:48:00,668 --> 00:48:03,376
to connect the rest of the monoliths
across the empire.
818
00:48:07,251 --> 00:48:08,626
You should be proud.
819
00:48:09,793 --> 00:48:12,959
This new dawn of possibilities
is all thanks to you.
820
00:48:18,126 --> 00:48:19,209
[keys rattle]
821
00:48:19,293 --> 00:48:20,459

[tense music playing]
823
00:48:24,918 --> 00:48:27,459
[Fjall] I can't believe
they united the armies.
824
00:48:27,543 --> 00:48:29,834
The closer we get to Xin'trea,
the worse our odds.
825
00:48:29,918 --> 00:48:32,751
[Éile] Then we change the odds
with the best blade in the land.
826
00:48:33,334 --> 00:48:35,626
-[Fjall] Who?
-[Éile] My old sword master.
827
00:48:35,709 --> 00:48:37,334
If she doesn't kill me on sight.
828
00:48:37,418 --> 00:48:39,709
She was the one
who introduced me to music.
829
00:48:39,793 --> 00:48:42,834
When I left my clan to become a bard,
she was banished.
830
00:48:42,918 --> 00:48:44,668
Forced to become a sellsword.
831
00:48:46,376 --> 00:48:48,334
[Fjall] You're willing
to risk your throat?
832
00:48:48,418 --> 00:48:50,959
[Éile] We want vengeance? We need her.
833
00:48:51,876 --> 00:48:52,918
[horse snorting]
834
00:48:53,001 --> 00:48:54,376
She have a name, then?
835
00:48:56,001 --> 00:48:57,751
This sword mother of yours.
836
00:48:59,626 --> 00:49:00,543
Scían.
837
00:49:02,084 --> 00:49:03,709
Last of the Ghost Tribe.
838
00:49:04,209 --> 00:49:05,626
Ghost Tribe are a myth.
839
00:49:06,584 --> 00:49:07,584
No myth.
840
00:49:08,084 --> 00:49:10,709
Finest sword masters
to ever grace the Continent.
841
00:49:11,584 --> 00:49:13,209
Till you lot wiped them out.
842
00:49:13,293 --> 00:49:15,084
Before my time, then.
843
00:49:15,168 --> 00:49:17,168
When they refused to fight for him,
844
00:49:17,251 --> 00:49:19,501
your King Darach
poisoned their water supply.
845
00:49:20,001 --> 00:49:21,709
Scían was the only survivor.
846
00:49:22,418 --> 00:49:24,793
Our clan found her,
took her in as sword master…
847
00:49:24,876 --> 00:49:25,793
Éile.
848
00:49:29,084 --> 00:49:31,293
[elderly elf] Please. We mean you no harm.
849
00:49:31,376 --> 00:49:33,793
[Éile] What brings you so far
from the main roads?
850
00:49:33,876 --> 00:49:35,209
We fled Bon Machán.
851
00:49:35,293 --> 00:49:38,251
Our mages and elders
refused the new empire.
852
00:49:38,334 --> 00:49:40,126
Her soldiers burnt it to ash,
853
00:49:40,209 --> 00:49:42,918
stole our young
to dig up their black towers.
854
00:49:43,001 --> 00:49:44,126
To raise monoliths.
855
00:49:44,793 --> 00:49:46,918
Why are they raising them
outside Xin'trea?
856
00:49:55,126 --> 00:49:57,043
Are you the Lark?
857
00:49:59,834 --> 00:50:01,334
I don't go by that name anymore.
858
00:50:01,418 --> 00:50:04,126
I saw you last year at the Aedd Gynvael.
859
00:50:05,168 --> 00:50:06,584
You were brilliant.
860
00:50:07,376 --> 00:50:08,626
Those songs,
861
00:50:08,709 --> 00:50:10,084
so full of hope,
862
00:50:10,751 --> 00:50:11,918
made us feel special.
863
00:50:12,459 --> 00:50:14,043
Like the world was ours.
864
00:50:15,001 --> 00:50:17,126
Any chance you could sing
"The Black Rose"?
865
00:50:17,709 --> 00:50:19,168
We could use a bit of hope.

[mysterious elfyn] He had heard
that song far south in Xin'trea,
872
00:50:41,543 --> 00:50:43,084
hummed in doorways,
873
00:50:43,168 --> 00:50:47,084
sung in streets and taverns,
always amongst the lowborn.
874
00:50:47,584 --> 00:50:50,126
And now here in the far north.
875
00:50:50,209 --> 00:50:52,876
How could one song have this much power?
876
00:50:53,584 --> 00:50:56,668
[Éile] We're not far from her.
Tread lightly if you can.

And the one 30 paces back.

00:51:16,959 --> 00:51:19,043
She'll have to try
a lot harder than that to catch me--

00:51:29,584 --> 00:51:31,001
[Scían] The clans are gone.
889
00:51:32,251 --> 00:51:33,959
How are you still alive?
890
00:51:36,751 --> 00:51:38,334
[wind roaring]
891
00:51:39,334 --> 00:51:42,376
[female voice echoing]
I sense the echo of slaughter on you.
892
00:51:43,501 --> 00:51:46,293
The beast I gifted you
gave you what you wanted.
893
00:51:46,876 --> 00:51:47,793
It did.
894
00:51:48,834 --> 00:51:51,626
I've taken control
of the entire Continent.
895
00:51:52,209 --> 00:51:53,418
And yet?
896
00:51:53,959 --> 00:51:54,959
It's not enough.
897
00:51:55,626 --> 00:51:58,251
These people will never accept me
as their emperor.
898
00:52:00,668 --> 00:52:02,001
I'm lowborn.
899
00:52:02,084 --> 00:52:04,251
[whispers overlapping] Interesting…
900
00:52:05,168 --> 00:52:07,709
I need a power that only I can wield.
901
00:52:08,668 --> 00:52:12,043
One that raises me above
any highborn, royal, or army.
902
00:52:12,126 --> 00:52:14,459
You want to be a god amongst elves.
903
00:52:15,043 --> 00:52:16,043
Yes.
904
00:52:18,209 --> 00:52:21,418
I need… your Chaos magic.
905
00:52:22,751 --> 00:52:25,501
Are you willing
to sacrifice anything for it,
906
00:52:25,584 --> 00:52:27,043
no matter what the cost?
907
00:52:27,126 --> 00:52:28,084
Yes.
908
00:52:28,626 --> 00:52:30,251
Whatever you ask for,
909
00:52:30,918 --> 00:52:32,084
you shall have.
910
00:52:38,626 --> 00:52:41,043
Never thought
you'd darken this place again.
911
00:52:43,334 --> 00:52:45,126
Didn't mean to bring you dishonor.
912
00:52:45,876 --> 00:52:47,043
And yet you did.
913
00:52:49,543 --> 00:52:51,418
The new empress wants you dead.
914
00:52:51,501 --> 00:52:52,668
Why have you come?
915
00:52:54,668 --> 00:52:56,043
To ask for your help.
916
00:52:58,459 --> 00:52:59,501
Come with us.
917
00:53:00,501 --> 00:53:02,209
We're riding to Xin'trea to kill her.
918
00:53:02,293 --> 00:53:03,959
[scoffs]
919
00:53:04,918 --> 00:53:08,209
If not for me, then for your ancestors.
920
00:53:10,834 --> 00:53:12,918
Xin'trea stole your tribe's sacred blade.
921
00:53:14,459 --> 00:53:16,668
This is your chance to reclaim Soulreaver.
922
00:53:18,834 --> 00:53:20,501
Who knows where it is now?
923
00:53:21,543 --> 00:53:24,084
Your blade's with the other trophies
in the palace.
924
00:53:27,001 --> 00:53:30,251
Three green stones like that,
and markings on the pommel,
925
00:53:30,959 --> 00:53:32,084
something about…
926
00:53:33,543 --> 00:53:34,793
Black Sands.
927
00:53:35,376 --> 00:53:36,834
Born of Black Sands.
928
00:53:38,001 --> 00:53:39,876
Blade and soul as one.
929
00:53:40,584 --> 00:53:41,918
All beginnings.
930
00:53:43,084 --> 00:53:44,168
All ends.
931
00:53:47,959 --> 00:53:50,209
You'd never get past the city gates.
932
00:53:50,293 --> 00:53:53,668
If you even make it that far
travelling with the enemy.
933
00:54:01,209 --> 00:54:02,251
[Éile sighs]
934
00:54:09,834 --> 00:54:12,126

935
00:54:15,418 --> 00:54:16,543

Knitbone.
938

It'll ease the burn.
939
00:54:31,209 --> 00:54:32,251
Éile.
940
00:54:32,793 --> 00:54:34,584
You can't trust her.
941
00:54:34,668 --> 00:54:36,501
She has an axe to grind with you.
942
00:54:36,584 --> 00:54:40,084
She's got contacts from sellswording
across the land. Contacts we may need.
943
00:54:40,168 --> 00:54:42,584
Contacts she'll use to sell you out
the first chance she gets.
944
00:54:43,251 --> 00:54:44,834
There's no one else left.
945
00:54:50,918 --> 00:54:52,251
Scían's all I've got.
946
00:54:52,793 --> 00:54:56,084
[somber music playing]
947
00:55:02,626 --> 00:55:04,668
[Scían] These changing skies
bode a darkness.
948
00:55:04,751 --> 00:55:06,626
[Éile] We have a chance
if we do it together.
949
00:55:06,709 --> 00:55:08,043
Your quest is hopeless.
950
00:55:08,876 --> 00:55:12,293
-I need you. We need you.
-You have your own path to take.
951
00:55:12,376 --> 00:55:14,709
[Fjall] I can get us past the gates
and into the palace.
952
00:55:15,418 --> 00:55:17,959
There's a secret passage into the city
that's unguarded.
953
00:55:20,209 --> 00:55:21,459
We could use your sword.
954
00:55:21,959 --> 00:55:23,543
No doubt you could.
955
00:55:24,293 --> 00:55:25,168
But…
956
00:55:26,168 --> 00:55:27,876
I won't be going with you.
957
00:55:29,709 --> 00:55:32,834
The only good thing
that's come of all this
958
00:55:32,918 --> 00:55:35,334
is that Dog Clan's gone for good.
959
00:55:36,209 --> 00:55:40,209
And may your father suffer eternity
in a lonely grave.
960
00:55:40,293 --> 00:55:42,876
My father should have finished
King Darach's work.
961
00:55:44,209 --> 00:55:46,126
Put you down with the rest of your tribe.
962
00:55:46,209 --> 00:55:48,709
I would have liked to see him try.
963
00:55:48,793 --> 00:55:51,709
Blindsided by a sweet little princess,
964
00:55:51,793 --> 00:55:55,126
not fit to hold
an axe of a clan chieftain.
965
00:55:56,418 --> 00:55:57,626
[yells]
966
00:55:57,709 --> 00:55:59,001
[grunts]
967
00:56:00,126 --> 00:56:02,834
-What are you doing?
-He's the one with an axe.
968
00:56:03,918 --> 00:56:06,168
Doesn't seem to know
how to use it, though.
969
00:56:06,251 --> 00:56:07,168
[roars]
970
00:56:09,251 --> 00:56:10,418
Scían, stop!
971
00:56:11,334 --> 00:56:12,668
[yelps and gasps]
972
00:56:13,834 --> 00:56:15,501
You've gotten rusty.
973
00:56:15,584 --> 00:56:16,501
[Éile] Have I?
974
00:56:22,251 --> 00:56:23,793
[spits and grunts]

[music fades]
979
00:56:48,626 --> 00:56:52,459
Your instincts are good,
but you let your emotions control you.
980
00:56:52,543 --> 00:56:56,334
And you, you have forgotten
how to work as part of a clan.
981
00:56:57,709 --> 00:57:00,043
You're not bad
when you're working together.
982
00:57:01,876 --> 00:57:03,293
We can work with that.
983
00:57:04,168 --> 00:57:05,668
So you're coming with us?
984
00:57:08,293 --> 00:57:09,793
The ancestors will it.
985
00:57:10,459 --> 00:57:12,459
[intense music resumes]
986
00:57:15,543 --> 00:57:17,251
[Fjall] Three against an empire.
987
00:57:17,334 --> 00:57:19,251
[Scían] Not enough. We need to find more.
988
00:57:19,334 --> 00:57:21,626
[Éile] Then we'll find others
who want to kill the bitch.
989
00:57:21,709 --> 00:57:23,543
There'll be no coming back.
990
00:57:23,626 --> 00:57:26,168
