Dota: Dragon's Blood - Season 2 Edit

A bargain with a demon is no small transaction, it's true.

A broken old man desperate to conceal his agony.

A dragon's power. Dragon's resilience.

A fairer place. But now?

A few lost hours won't harm us, and a rest may help.

A fraud. I thought he would abdicate.

A goddess without worshippers. Without love.

A home you stole from us a thousand years ago.

A hundred men. They never saw home again.

A little girl who imagines she's a goddess.

A little less all the time.

A long time ago.

A meaningless death. You once told me to let go.

A pawn.

A physical expression of pure, collective will.

A princess? Well, you should have said so.

A real god?

A reckoning here. I was raised for better things.

A sad, bit player in another man's story.

A state wedding to redefine state weddings.

A strong leader to bring a new dawn to the empire.

A victim of her father's failure.

A weapon of a different sort. Imagine.

Acceptable.

Across 15 planes and countless realities, I found one constant.

After a thousand years alone,

After everything that's happened, what I've done, what's started,

After last night, I think I do.

After my own soldiers saw what I did to him, what I enjoyed doing to him,

Again, doesn't matter.

Ah, Kinski.

Ah, the Scourge of the Plains.

Ah, the Scourge. Yes. You fail to grasp your own foolishness.

Ah, the squirrel learns to stand in its shade,

Ah, to hells with you.

Ah! Revenge.

Ah.

Ah. "The Scourge of the Plains." There's a hefty price on your head.

Ah. Thanks.

Ahh.

All but the one hiding in my body.

All dragons are one, interlinked with creation.

All flailing arms, birth screams,

All of this might sound better coming from you.

All of this was a show.

All stories are lies.

All that sustains you is a spark of divinity

All that time, just to bring us one of our own.

All that's necessary is for you to feel. The words will follow.

All this time, I thought the worst thing that could ever happen

All we need is steel and courage to take it back.

Allow me to deal with Terrorblade at the height of my powers.

Almost as big as the Princess. Double if you're still alive.

Also, your wound has reopened.

Always beautiful, often unsettling.

Am I supposed to answer for you?

Amuse me with the reason.

An assassin's arrow nearly took my life, but I am not so easily dissuaded.

And all of this is part of my plan.

And all you have left is grappling with an inconvenient reality.

And at least a hundred spans of forest to cross.

And burn things down, maybe they were right.

And does not truly direct it.

And executive authority is limited.

And find again.

And for her goddess.

And for that, I owe you my thanks.

And for the longest time, I thought I was just Davion,

And for what? To aid your goddess?

And frozen peaks we have no tools to cross.

And get your tail out of my face before I choke you with it.

And he was busy wrecking the Praetorian Guard.

And him?

And hope that someday, her mother would return to her.

And I am not so self destructive as to aid you in your efforts.

And I cannot be both things. Priestess and scourge.

And I fear I will get my chance.

And I was afraid our lady would say no.

And I was hoping we could speak.

And I will not cede the width of a swamp spider's thorax

And I'm here?

And in how many realities do you and I have this conversation?

And in those millennia, I have loved you best.

And it was this Ore that changed you?

And make yourself part of another.

And mother's blood.

And my orders are to return you to Viceroy Kashurra.

And no. My ego is not in the way.

And now we have nothing. No throne, no Eye, no chance.

And Sal before him. What does it take to kill a god?

And save our reckoning for another time.

And so the truth dawns.

And somewhere along the way, you became this.

And still failed to bring the Emperor's assassin to justice.

And suddenly, it all makes sense?

And that's when I said, "Look! It's an Eldwyrm, okay?

And the girl?

And the place she occupies. A hole left by a little child.

And the rest of you?

And to know love, the light must know darkness.

And to make yourself untouchable by god…

And we're just supposed to accept this, and you?

And what is it I don't want to hear?

And with it, the whole of creation!

And with it, understanding of what you are.

And you overstepped.

And you were raised for better things.

And you, the brave Dragon Knight, tried to stop it.

And you're doing the same now.

Answer in blood, answer in fire.

Anything. I would do anything.

Anyway, it seems to me even if she was there,

Anyway, you can't fight every battle,

Apologies, but the, the boss is correct.

As Empress, you would command far more than an army.

As I knew you would.

As I told Viceroy Kashurra when I requested this meeting, I need

As is she.

As it has become clear to me.

As our empire rises, night and shadow fall.

As sole heir to this throne by blood,

Asar, give us a moment.

At first, then, it didn't feel the way I hoped it would.

At least I will die staring into your eyes.

At your convenience, of course.

Auroth spotted the wyrmling swarm.

Auroth told me a human caravan was passing through.

Auroth!

Auroth! [pants]

Balls.

Barely here, but to haul carcasses in and take weapons out.

Be certain.

Because she is largely responsible for funding the rest of the army.

Because they wanted to gut us and hang us from the trees.

Because we'll still get what we want somehow?

Because we're vulnerable, because we hurt.

Because you plan to stay, uh, but on your own terms.

Because you were foolish enough to believe one lie,

Been years since I stormed a castle.

Before Selemene betrayed us, and the humans took it.

Beliefs change. Trust breaks.

Beloved servants.

Better quickly than not at all.

Beyond that, I, I just don't know.

Beyond the veil, the end of things.

Bit far from home, aren't we?

Blame for the Princess has fallen on you.

Blame her. Find her. Execute her.

Blood on my boots. Never polished. Never cared to.

Box them up before it wears off.

Bram, Dragon Knight!

Bram.

Bram.

Bram. Best damn squire in Dragon Hold.

Bram. Dear, dear, Bram.

Broken in every way.

Brother Kaden. Father requests you.

But a sword doesn't make you a Dragon Knight.

But didn't want him on the throne.

But do not delude yourself into thinking you have authority in this room.

But do not test my admiration.

But each Dragon Knight gladly bleeds for the cause.

But even I can add one and one.

But for now, you can take her to the infirmary.

But for the empire's sake, offer the crown to one of your own.

But I can serve the empire best as I serve it now.

But I have to know, how did my father die?

But I was clever. I learned the secrets of the forge men.

But I was ready to give my life to save you.

But I will talk to him.

But I'm the one who trusted the Devil.

But if you like, I can help.

But in my solitude, I had the most wonderful thought.

But is it really too much to ask that…

But it called to me in Slyrak's voice. Slyrak's song.

But it is quite unlikely the Scourge would

But it's difficult to argue against its existence.

But it's made you impulsive and intemperate.

But it's necessary.

But it's not enough to love the light for the light to truly shine.

But love is a powerful magic.

But lying to you makes me feel alone again and I can't live with that.

But my place would be here.

But nothing happened. I wasn't worthy.

But one fever dream with a little blue rock

But our bellies are full and we can sleep with both eyes closed tonight.

But perhaps I can help.

But since all this started, I've broken it over and over.

But surely, the truth must be clear to you now.

But the blame is not with her.

But the only way they'll listen is if I shed blood.

But the people beneath the banners, they were your father's strength.

But the Senate will name her Regent anyway.

But the weight of your burden, our regent, our voice,

But there are things that must be done in these events.

But there is something else I see.

But there was also a voice. It was gentle, but persistent.

But things have changed.

But this gets worse before it gets better.

But this sword. It's Ritterfau's.

But those wyrmlings are still loose. The demon's army now.

But we need it now, please.

But what if I have it wrong? What if I have it backwards?

But what would you have me do? I can't leave now.

But why did they need me when they have you?

But you cannot protect the people from themselves.

But you have to give me something more than the Dragon Knight dodge.

But you stayed here. You serve my uncle.

But you still are a mortal man.

But you… I barely know you.

But you've learned the most important lesson.

By chance, I encountered strange rocks.

Can I hold her?

Can you stand? Can you fight? Can you help me kill that thing?

Can't defend this position. No cover.

Can't move.

Carry them from battle to battle at this speed of thought,

Chaos!

Cheers.

Child of the moon, your head full of stories.

Civil war is inevitable.

Clever enough to expunge your own name from it,

Climb on! Hurry!

Clothed in the flesh of a man you call "brother".

Come to me, child. Fymryn. Closer.

Come, thief.

Come! Everyone! Fade to the forest! Archers ready!

Come. I will show you the way to Lina's family estate.

Confuse and scatter them. Delay them.

Congratulations. You're a Dragon Knight.

Consider the possibility, you don't always have to run into them.

Convincing him won't be easy. We have to make him feel like…

Could be worse. You could be inside the dragon.

Council is concluded. Your Highness.

Crazy. Stupid.

Crescent light upon us all.

Crescent light upon you, Princess.

Currently rotting in this shithole.

Damn sure don't let it do your thinking.

Dark for a thousand years, kept dark by Selemene.

Davion had just dropped the emperor off a roof

Davion would know. He'd walk away.

Davion, please be in there.

Davion, stop!

Davion, the turtle is now worth the [screams]

Davion? Davion, please wake up. I came looking for you.

Davion.

Davion.

Davion.

Davion. Come with us. Please!

Davion. Dragon Knight.

Davion. He's, uh, he's a man of few words.

Dawn didn't work. Maybe noon is better.

Dawn Star.

Dead. They're all dead.

Death.

Death. [growls]

Demand a delegation from every ally and trading partner.

Deny his lies.

Do what you have to do. Just remember who you are.

Do you love me?

Does it matter why? You name yourself differently.

Don't let that thing inside speak for you, son.

Don't say it. I'll be fine. [breathes heavily]

Don't tell me this.

Doomed to die. Forgotten.

Dragon clan.

Dragons talk too fucking much.

Dyfed, Adara, Idwal. Oh, I'm sure you miss them horribly.

Dying here means you haven't learned a gods damned thing.

Earth wyrmlings. I feel it too.

Eat? Oh, yes. Maintain your strength.

Eh. Some more than others.

Enlighten us then.

Even if the Senate believes you too, they will never turn against the Slayer.

Even in the absence of a deity.

Even though he'd spent his whole life there.

Even to their death. Everyone knew it was your fault.

Even when you want to. Even when it breaks your heart.

Every gear, every cog, must do its job reliably.

Every great hero needs a weapon. This ring can be yours.

Every morning and every night, Filomena held that doll and prayed.

Every single time I told myself I had to do it, it was necessary.

Everyone but you.

Everyone does, eventually.

Everyone does.

Everyone is hiding a knife somewhere. You've even got me doing it.

Everyone knew them. How they loved you. They would follow you everywhere.

Everyone makes choices. Some wise, some less so.

Everyone out.

Everyone out.

Everything is personal. That's what makes us human.

Except this.

Except, I just wonder if we're not rushing to judgment a little?

Except…

Excuse me, I'm speaking to you.

Factions that emerged after your father's death never reconciled.

Facts are facts.

Faith endures. [inhales sharply]

Faith.

Faith.

Faith.

Faith.

Fall back!

Father is coming.

Father of Fire.

Father! [pants]

Father?

Father. Thank the gods.

Fear I may have wronged someone close to me.

Feast on the remains.

Feel. Right.

Fever's down.

Few have bled as you have bled.

Fewer mouths to feed, I suppose.

Fifteen years and a punch in the face. Well, that's a fine hello.

Fighting chance.

Filomena discovered these.

Filomena.

Filomena's thoughts were her own.

Find the Eye of the Worldwyrm!

Fine. We'll take this up with Lina.

For a thousand years, the exiled Coriel'Tauvi knew darkness.

For Dragon.

For god's sake, has she ever fought more than a persistent cough?

For my part, I was willing to give you a chance.

For now, try to enjoy the hospitality I offer you.

For the Dawn Star!

For us to stand and die, so he can take you.

Forgive my appearance, Your Highness. I've been in my cups.

Forgive one another. Restore me.

Forgive the informality, Princess.

Forgotten your manners already?

Foulfell. My battle with Terrorblade. The beginning of the end.

Four thousand spans to the Helio Imperium on the back of a dragon.

Free yourself.

From remaking the entire gods damned universe in his image.

From the paintings, the statues.

Fuck.

Fymryn.

Gather around the fire.

Gather them all.

Gaze into her light!

Gaze into her light.

Get him up. We're leaving.

Get out!

Get out.

Give in. Let go. Change your destiny.

Give me Slyrak.

Give the word and take it.

Give us the room, please.

Give us the room. The Princess and I have a need to talk.

God Emperor Shabarra was murdered by a demon that remains at large.

Goddamn it, work!

Goddess.

Goddess.

Goddess.

Goddess. [breathing heavily]

Gods help us. Oh…

Gods, it's good to see you, to know you're safe.

Good luck in the sewer.

Good night, my Sunbeam.

Guards.

Guess you made it back to Dragon Hold, warned the fathers. All that.

Ha!

Ha! "Dragon Knight." Right.

Happy to be part of the team.

Hard to believe that each twinkle represents another soul.

Harm and pain are brothers, but they live apart.

Have any of us? And isn't that the point?

Having had my castle stormed, I can tell you it's not great.

He betrayed it.

He collects the bounty on us in exchange for Vanari's head.

He could not protect the Imperium. He could not even protect himself.

He feared no one. [grunts]

He gives you a lot to think about.

He got dropped off a roof by a half dragon man.

He has a pretty good judge of people. They have a connection.

He is an unlimited resource.

He isn't worthy of your rage.

He made up the cover story.

He promised we would find a way together.

He saw things he wasn't prepared to see.

He sent me to find the one thing that might stop Terrorblade.

He sent you to turn this place upside down.

He should know exactly who he's supporting.

He spoke to me. The music. It was him. I heard Slyrak.

He stood there and did nothing when I attacked.

He used you to take his revenge.

He will always lie. Always use you.

He's killed all the Eldwyrms and stolen their souls,

He's killing the Eldwyrms, stealing their souls

He's right over there.

Hellbear shit. I would know! I would feel it from you.

Help us or get out the way.

Help you adapt. But you made a terrible mistake.

Her journal. This was her room.

Her Royal Highness, Mirana, daughter of Zal,

Her Royal Highness, Mirana, Daughter of Zal, Princess of the Sun.

Her sister, Lina? Seems more ember dragon than human.

Her truth was shrouded in doubt. Her light eclipsed behind the moon.

Here. Enjoy the flowers and the weeds.

Here. Sit with me.

Here's your word.

Heretical in these halls…

Hey, is she supposed to be doing that?

Hey! I just wanna know about Mirana.

Hi.

Hi.

Hiding from the consequences.

Him? Jarl? I've owed him that for 15 years.

His Excellency is away on urgent business. Please, make yourselves comfortable.

His loyalists complicate Shabarra's rule.

Hm. Adorable.

Hm. Big bastard.

Hm. I could watch you do that every day. [chuckles]

Hold. Until we identify the assassin, this event does not leave this room.

Honor the Princess out of respect for her father, salute Tihomir's service,

Hope yet remains.

Hope. Someone in the dark, with fears, like you and I.

Horrible spider. Had the nerve to bite me. Me! Can you imagine?

How about someone tells me what is going on?

How convenient for your ambitions.

How do you think I met Kaden? Just tread lightly with Lina.

How is she? [Mirana sighs]

How very reassuring.

Huh.

Huh. Such a frail little girl when you came to us.

Human stains.

Hunched over like a hellbear with the shits.

Hunting assassins is kind of her job. Her old job, anyway.

Hunting Slyrak.

Hurry downstairs before you're noticed.

I accepted the lotuses because I wanted to go home,

I admire your spirit. It has always brought me joy.

I already thanked you.

I also enjoy the view.

I am asking you to do what I can't.

I am bound only to collect the souls.

I am defeated. This victory is yours, Dragon Knight.

I am disinclined to end your life.

I am in command here, Kaden,

I am in your blood as you are in mine.

I am Mirana, emissary of Selemene.

I am no one's child! I am the fire! [screams]

I am so stupid. I'm so sorry.

I am the arbiter of banal ambition.

I am the light put in disguise.

I am the man you remember.

I am the song that murders the world.

I am the Void, the wastes between the stars,

I am uncertain.

I am your family.

I am your voice, your servant, your protector.

I am.

I ask only that you reclaim what is rightfully yours.

I assume you plan to do something about that.

I assure you, the true Eye is in the palace.

I barely remember any of it. It's a fog.

I bathed. Once.

I beg your pardon?

I believe you.

I broke his trust. I won't break that trust again.

I brought you a gift. I hope you like gifts.

I came to see the Emperor. I need to see the Eye.

I can be a warrior, a protector.

I can even live with you walking out the door and telling the world.

I can fix everything. But I need to stay here.

I can live with a lot of things.

I can only imagine.

I can protect us. Name me Regent.

I can recover from our errors.

I can see me. But maybe I'm supposed to be able to see me.

I can't get you an audience with the Emperor.

I can't hide anymore. My people want war.

I can't just let that pass. I can't just let her win.

I can't say I missed it. I did the best I could with what I had.

I can't stay here.

I can't. I can't leave Davion. I can't leave her.

I can't. Not forever. That's what makes this so urgent.

I cannot allow you to pass.

I choose them.

I collected books, began writing verse. The dragon songs never returned.

I could feel it in the wall. I just…

I could have remained inside of forever.

I couldn't save your parents

I couldn't. Sing it to me again while I'm listening.

I did not banish them from the Nightsilver Woods.

I didn't hear anything.

I didn't hurt her. I would never hurt her.

I didn't know before.

I didn't know what I was walking into.

I didn't say you could speak.

I didn't understand. I'm not sure he cared.

I didn't.

I do not.

I don't care about your politics.

I don't care.

I don't even understand what she was doing here.

I don't know how it happened. Truly.

I don't know if it's true, but you should probably hear about it.

I don't know what's sitting in the throne room, but it's not the Eye.

I don't trust him. I never will.

I don't understand why you would defend her.

I don't want anything from you.

I fear that's all you'll ever be.

I feel her.

I feel it.

I feel nothing at all. It's a fake.

I finally understand the connection I feel with him.

I fought them inch by blood dimmed inch. They showed no quarter, offered no mercy.

I found you in there, standing in front of that blue rock. Just staring.

I gave them her name.

I give up. I don't feel a thing.

I had been a part of its light, the source, and was lured away.

I had no idea what was happening to me, or why.

I had no idea you'd be here. I… I didn't even hope.

I had to help you. You're, you're my people.

I had to see her. I would have come sooner,

I hardly recognize my own home.

I hate those things.

I have come to collect what belongs to me.

I have never asked anything of you other than your trust.

I have never forgotten my home or my duty.

I have no idea how you came to be, but I know who you possess.

I have no interest in a fight. I had to see. I had to know.

I have no need of armies or gold. Your soldiers will secure the palace.

I have no title, a minor house, and you think they'd name me regent?

I have sung you the truth since the beginning.

I have to go back. I have to try and stop it. But you…

I have to wear the dresses after all.

I have to.

I have very specific tastes.

I hear singing.

I hired the assassin who tried to kill Mirana.

I hope they're prepared.

I hope this clarifies the mathematics of your circumstances.

I hope you sent for me because you found your way

I insist you find me a good one, then publicly remove her head.

I intend to rule as my father ruled before me.

I just had the most wonderful thought.

I just remember that sound, that terrible sound.

I just… The music seems like more than simply the wind.

I knew and I let it. I, I did nothing.

I knew it was gonna happen.

I know a secret way. Follow me.

I know only that they are dangerous.

I know what Father said. I know what father believed.

I know what I am. [sighs]

I know what I am. I am my father's daughter.

I know what you're looking for.

I know why you've come, little Coedwin.

I learned darkness meant nothing without the light.

I learned you can be absolutely right and still lose.

I lived by a code my whole life.

I lost 29 brothers to that Eldwyrm inside you.

I love it. It's my favorite.

I love my family, but you're my people too.

I love my father, but I will not repeat his mistakes.

I love you. I'm sorry. I love you. Kashurra, please!

I married the right dragon.

I mean, what?

I mean, you look okay, but

I mean, you.

I miss her, and Father as well.

I more or less took that option off the table when I killed him.

I need more.

I need some air.

I need the Eye so that dragon can travel to the hell of hells and stop Terrorblade

I need the Eye. The Helio Imperium needs a regent.

I need you to teach me.

I never asked her.

I never asked why or how.

I never have. But it is on my list.

I offered you an alliance.

I once did the same to an errant Helio Imperium patrol.

I prayed my Davion would not be lost to the monster he carried inside of him.

I prayed to the Goddess you were still in there.

I prefer we name our Empress.

I propose, we slay the abomination together

I protected your throne until you could return and protect it yourself.

I raged in horror and despair, unimaginable loneliness.

I ran into the fight. It was bad.

I read her words again. It's agony to remember.

I reject tyrants in all forms, elves, humans, gods.

I reject you.

I remember a feeling, a certain warm serenity

I remember my duty.

I remember rage about the Eye, about…

I remember what you risked for my sake.

I remember.

I risked my life time and again for the Helio Imperium.

I said I accept your proposal, you have not yet accepted mine.

I said there were things I could do, Sunbeam.

I saw it on my mother's face after her primary died.

I saw what one Enclave could do

I see how everyone reacts to you. They love you. You're their hero.

I see it.

I see that now.

I see the little man couldn't be bothered to visit her himself.

I see you. I know you.

I see.

I select you.

I sent you away to protect you. To serve you.

I served the Helio Imperium as your father demanded.

I set a terrible example.

I stared at it for days before I decided it was just a little swollen and

I started a war.

I still owe you so much.

I think he did it all out of loyalty to your family.

I think he knew Shabarra was a fraud. And I think he knew why.

I think I could tell you a similar story.

I thought he would be exposed for what he was.

I thought I had this figured out. I…

I thought I was so smart. I thought I could live with it.

I thought if only Shabarra would step down,

I thought maybe time of day.

I thought the Dragon Knights were all dead.

I thought the Senate would make him abdicate.

I thought the two of you would make things so much worse.

I thought you might want that.

I thought you were like him, like Shabarra.

I thought your people were back in Coedwig.

I thought, "Now there is a dragon with very fine motor control."

I thought… I was afraid she was dead for so long. And then I found her.

I tried to capture your agony in a poem. Would you like to hear it?

I tried to make them stop. I begged them. My own family.

I tried to stop that thing. I failed.

I tried what you're trying now. It didn't fucking work.

I trust them to be who they are as I trust you to be who you are.

I understand you knew the Princess.

I understand.

I used to have such dreams.

I used to sit in my father's lap in this chair.

I used to think how much better things would be with no Emperor,

I want blood.

I want my family back!

I want Princess Mirana's assassin, Vanari.

I wanted to throw you in the stockade. A nice concrete pit all on your own

I was able to properly suture and bandage the wound and treat the infection.

I was an outcast. Fallen. A hollow echo.

I was at peace until you needed the scourge.

I was empty and you filled me.

I was even happy.

I was gone forever, then you pulled me back. You saved me.

I was just a simple dragon, you see. Then I began to wake from my slumber

I was never so good at the mathematics.

I was only ever grateful for you.

I was paid to bring you in alive. He didn't say in what condition.

I was supposed to bring you back to the tower after it all happened.

I was there.

I was wondering how such big claws could write poetry with such a tiny pen.

I was wrong. My rage, it wasn't meant for you, but for me.

I will arrange your meeting. Praise the Dawn Star.

I will bring Mirana back alive.

I will feast on your flesh in her name.

I will give them your power.

I will inform the Senate and the War Council.

I will make deserts of their enclaves and I will call it peace.

I will not forget your kindness.

I will travel to the Nightsilver Woods myself.

I wish I did. I wish I could say.

I wish I knew where to start.

I wish it could be different.

I withdraw my name and rise in support of the Slayer.

I won't give you a damned thing, and I won't let you have him.

I won't leave her to rot and die. I'll just have to find another way.

I won't watch another home burn.

I would clear your vision.

I would never eat Bram. We shared the dance of ritual combat.

I would never harm you, my little Sunbeam.

I would not have had you repeat your father's mistakes.

I would not have you share the doom that came upon him.

I would rather you not.

I would speak to your captain.

I, I can't. I can't give you or anyone the Eye.

I, I think what Davion means is, you're right and we should do it quickly.

I… I don't remember.

I… I will serve the Imperium in any way you choose.

I'd rather call you by your name, Marci.

I'd scarcely allowed myself a hope.

I'll be brief, Highness.

I'll bring an army when I'm done.

I'll come. Don't lose it. With Father gone, those are precious.

I'll leave you to the task.

I'll lift the sewer grate, uh, then we run downhill.

I'll pray she hears it.

I'll send the Emperor your best.

I'll take Sagan. Leave before first light. Have the troops ready.

I'll take you to the little man. It'll be fun to watch him squirm.

I'll write a poem. It will be beautiful. It will be for you.

I'm a bit player in someone else's story.

I'm afraid I don't understand.

I'm afraid penetrating bone can be excruciating.

I'm afraid the Solar Throne must deny your request.

I'm brimming over with it.

I'm glad you made it, but it was all for nothing.

I'm gonna smash your dawn forsaken machine and build something new! Something better!

I'm guessing the Emperor said no, given you dropped him off a roof.

I'm inexperienced with human humor.

I'm just an asshole carrying another asshole's sword.

I'm just surprised. I didn't know you could dance,

I'm no Dragon Knight.

I'm not a prisoner. I found a way to return home.

I'm not defending Lina at all.

I'm not leaving.

I'm not sure if that's evolution or luck.

I'm not the little girl you helped escape all those years ago.

I'm proud of you.

I'm putting a new company together. Are you in or out?

I'm sorry to disturb you at this hour, Princess.

I'm sorry, I, I feel like we've met.

I'm sorry, Sunbeam. There is nothing you can do.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I hope you're not angry.

I'm sure he didn't. Your father was a decent man.

I'm sure of that as well. I'm more sure of that than anything.

I'm sure they want to. I'm sure they think it's worth it.

I'm, I'm just a squire.

I've been alone my whole life. Then you walked into it.

I've been playing with forces and people I neither know nor understand.

I've been stealing dragon souls since I was a boy.

I've dreamed of slaying dragons since I was a boy.

I've heard stories of what you're capable of.

I've never seen anyone make a shot that long, except Mirana.

I've never slain a dragon with my own hands.

I've seen that look before. Something troubles you.

I've taken her faith from you.

I've trusted him my whole life, since I was a boy.

If he has the Eye, we have to convince him to show us.

If I am to succeed, I need help.

If I could have saved her, I would have.

If I had stolen the most holy relic in the Imperium, I'd keep it here.

If I stitch the two of you together, I can make one healthy person.

If I were you, I would depart with haste.

If Lina were capable of something like this,

If Mene returns, it means the end of everything.

If Selemene is gone, if a new goddess rises in her place,

If Terrorblade gets to the Eldwyrms, those monsters at Dragon Hold won't matter.

If the Coedwei pursue us, at least we'll have help.

If the Imperium learns the truth, there will be civil war.

If there was true cruelty in you once, the taste of it has turned to ash. Hm?

If you had brought Davion home, this would all be over.

If you want revenge, you need to play clever.

If you won't run, neither will I.

In countless realities, you are the same,

In how many does the game progress so far?

In my shadow.

In the end, it would have only made things worse.

In the end, you will beg me to take the dragon souls from you.

In the mood for a little spontaneous human combustion?

In the service of a master you hate.

In the seven hells are you doing?

In the short run, perhaps.

In time, my Eldwyrm's voice faded.

In you go, love.

In your essential form?

Infected. I can clean it again, but… Oh, Princess, I can't make it better.

Inside. Move.

Interesting.

Is my proposal acceptable?

Is that they can't believe you've come home.

Is there a problem?

Isn't it wonderful?

It became a child. It became you.

It became manifest.

It could be nowhere more beautiful than the domain of the Solar Throne.

It didn't work for Shabarra, it didn't work for me.

It had to be her. She brought us here. She was…

It has always been so. It is why you were chosen.

It has merely evolved, as we must all evolve.

It is a message. A warning.

It is no gift! It is my price!

It is simply not what you believe it to be.

It is the highest form of worship. Divine.

It is why we fight. It's why I fight.

It is wisdom. The hardest earned.

It is.

It just wouldn't do if someone so close to the Princess

It means that monster inside you may be more Davion than Slyrak.

It means you may be joined forever.

It obscured my vision, but in your heart, you knew from the first who she was.

It profits nothing to move quickly if you do not move wisely.

It seems somehow brighter today with you in it.

It took the Emperor. They've killed him.

It used to be I didn't need my eyes to wander these woods,

It waits for you, Sunbeam.

It waits, as it has always waited, for the true heir to the throne.

It was a horrible breach of protocol.

It was all so simple when it was just to be the army.

It was an honor to polish a father's boots.

It was enough."

It was her. I saw what she did at the outpost.

It was my mother's voice, waking me as though I were a child.

It was not what either of us imagined.

It was you, wasn't it? You murdered my parents.

It was.

It's a bit late in the day for a dramatic entrance.

It's a long ride to the Helio Imperium, Your Highness.

It's about… Hey.

It's as though someone pulled the sun down from the sky.

It's beautiful. I have no idea what it means.

It's for me.

It's like I'm two people. Davion the Dragon Knight, and I'm him.

It's more than all that.

It's more, try not to say anything particularly nice about me.

It's no reflection of the throne's esteem, merely security measure.

It's not funny.

It's not my place. It's hers.

It's not possible.

It's not your fault, Asar. I don't blame you.

It's our only chance, Princess. You are our only chance.

It's strange. I feel I know you.

It's you, isn't it? It's always been you. You don't belong here.

Its eyes. Something's wrong with its eyes!

Just a freak, really. An accident.

Just another part of his collection.

Just as you are no longer worshiped.

Just because she's rich.

Just enough, as it turns out.

Just not as your imagination suggested we might.

Just tell me if there's anything you can do or not.

Just to be clear, this doesn't send me anywhere, right? Because…

Kaden calls it a curse.

Kaden says Davian needs to eat.

Kaden!

Kaden!

Kaden?

Kaden. They're not just animals.

Kashurra has to know.

Kashurra told everyone how the creature appeared,

Kashurra? Huh… How? What are you?

Kill everyone inside.

Kill the mute. And the animal.

Kill them! Kill them all!

Knights, to me. Hold the line!

Know your place, Shabarra.

Knowing even tragedy can grow into something beautiful.

Knowing that you will almost certainly not return to the world

Lay down your weapon. I would never harm you…

Leave us to it.

Legatus Tihomir calls the vote.

Legatus Tihomir funded the effort to return the Princess home.

Let Father go!

Let her go, Kashurra.

Let him go, Asar.

Let me have a closer look at you.

Let's not keep your uncle waiting.

Life has meaning because it's short.

Life was good before I tried to make it better.

Lifetimes ago, I took it as a treasure. Kept it close, unaware of its power.

Like a dream of death. Like a poem.

Like being pulled into a fall.

Like they have a plan.

Lina can help me get it. The rest happened.

Lina hired the assassin. She told me everything.

Listen.

Little mouse! We finally meet beyond the void!

Look, I don't know Luna, but I kind of know Lina.

Look, none of this is what I wanted.

Look.

Love for our goddess found echo in the sparks Selemene had stolen.

Love? I, I don't

Lovely hoard.

Lovely. Tasteful. Cold. [sniffs]

Lovers' quarrel, I suspect. This explains much.

Lucky for you, there are none more clever than Hieronimo.

Luna is right. We're too near the border.

Luna said the shot came from that direction.

Luna, Lina, that's not confusing at all. [inhales deeply]

Luna, listen to me.

Luna, most faithful of all,

Luna, you cannot collect what you cannot find.

Luna. What have you done?

Made it worse.

Majesty, come with me.

Make it stop! Make it stop!

Making pronouncements on things you do not understand.

Man, or me.

Marci, wake up. Please? [sobs]

Marci, we won. You saved me. You believed in me.

Marci! Ah!

Marci.

Marci.

Marci. Thank the God. Thank you.

Marcy.

Master Ritterfau. Apologies.

Maybe everything can just go back to as it was.

Maybe he just grabbed onto the first thing that felt like an answer and clung to it.

Maybe his way is the way.

Maybe it really was replaced. By someone with access.

Maybe Selemene should be goddess of the moon.

Maybe the Senate would take control and turn this into a better place,

Me either. Here. Dragon's fire whiskey. For you.

Me, Kashurra, Asar, and the Praetorian Guard, the War Council.

Medico.

Mirana, your parents are dead.

Mirana?

Mirana? I know. I felt it.

Mirana. Is she… is she all right?

Mm. A week? At least.

Mm. Promises, promises.

More light, more sun. The windows!

More than one evening, I went to my rack,

More than you know.

More troops, a few more outposts. They will try their tricks, of course.

More wounded. We have no medical supplies to treat.

Most of all, you can have all the power in the world,

Mother.

Mousey?

Much less perform some kind of mating ritual.

My armies, my gold. All of it is yours.

My bedclothes, please.

My body, my soul. You put me back together.

My establishment is filled with bounty hunters.

My father's power was real. I saw it, felt it.

My generals report you single handedly drove off the arachnid army.

My girl, you are the Princess of the Sun.

My hand frozen in a claw from gripping the rag.

My heart swells with pity for you.

My life.

My little Sunbeam.

My lotuses.

My people are in urgent need of food and medicine.

My precious Sunbeam.

My Princess of the Moon.

My sister can.

My smallest gesture helped her see you for what you truly are.

My soldiers don't take orders from princesses.

My sword! My life!

My sword.

My sword. My life.

My whole life, I never imagined I'd ever see you run from a fight.

Mystery solved.

Nearly everything sounds better coming from me.

Need. Love.

Needs what he's lost.

Never sought her council.

Never understood what the goddess saw in you.

Never you.

New treachery compels my return.

Nico Hieronimo. Formerly of the Nivan Gallants.

No bark eating elf bastard will ever take you from this fort.

No claw marks. No burrow holes.

No death, no shadow, love conveyed.'

No idea if that's true, but damn!

No king denies a request from our order.

No man more important than the rest. Like this boy here.

No matter what she's done, she knows how much this matters.

No more Leathshams.

No more than a mouse.

No more, no less.

No need to run. No one here would hurt you.

No one can do what Lina can do. Not even me.

No one could steal the Eye.

No one harms my precious Sunbeam.

No one harms my Sunbeam.

No one here would dare.

No one hurt me. Not Terrorblade and not you.

No one knows how this Dragon Clan might have come to be.

No one would dare.

No royal family, a Helio Republic.

No will, no voice. I lived in darkness.

No, forgive me for interrupting your revels, Captain.

No, no, no, no…

No, no.

No, this is my fight.

No, we're not home yet.

No, you chose that chair.

No!

No!

No!

No! It's a dragon!

No! No, it's not that way!

No! No, no, no, no, no!

No.

No.

No. Choose the moment.

No. I… I can hear him. See him.

No. No.

No. Not "knew." I know her. The Princess isn't dead.

No. Some things cannot be fixed. Deeds cannot be undone.

No. The Princess is somehow dead and alive, all at once.

No. We had a spy. I had questions.

Noise, chaos, threats. The Imperium needs unity.

None more.

None of this was personal.

Nonsense about the Solar God and the Eye of the Worldwyrm?

Nor am I. See to his comfort. Find me in the Great Hall when it's done.

Nor can you win every battle you must fight.

Nor is she alive. Or so I'm told. And what brings you to my feet?

Not bartenders, not kings, not even emperors.

Not everyone. Not always.

Not for me, or for you. For her.

Not in 22 years, Master Ritterfau.

Not in your stories.

Not Mene. Not our goddess.

Not possible.

Not really, not completely.

Not running. Collecting a head.

Not the same without our family.

Not yet. I need a weapon.

Nothing ever goes back just as it was.

Now all I see is a place that seems to have moved on without me.

Now here you are, a familiar face, but I wonder if I know the man.

Now hit me.

Now move aside.

Now nothing is what it's supposed to be,

Now she thinks she can use it to buy an empire.

Now we are asked to follow another pretender?

Now, as to the so called elven threat, it's very simple.

Now, I do.

Now, I wonder if he hasn't already.

Now, it's all upside down and sideways.

Nowhere left to hide.

Obviously. He summoned half the army. Always overcompensating.

Of course it can. I've done it before.

Of course, I appreciate the complexities of dressmaking.

Of course, I should scratch it. It itches.

Oh, I can't blame you.

Oh, I'm a terrible shrew! Remember that when you see her.

Oh, so many dead, Little Bit.

Oh, sweet Bram. Thank you. [gasps]

Oh, trust me, I'm confused by plenty of stuff.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, I was a little worried, I came through the portal

Oh, yes, of course. Very simple. And the Leylines?

Oh, you know, good. Credit for honesty, I suppose.

Oh, you smell like a sewer.

Okay. I'll leave you to your sleep or lack of it.

One bargains.

One does not simply ask a demon

One more time,

One of my enemies clearly wants me to look weak and incompetent.

One overheard her tell her mother.

Only I remain.

Only then, can I kill Terrorblade.

Opportunistic others exploit the conflict to their advantage.

Or Mirana, who claims it by accident of birth.

Or simply bury you next to all the other forgotten dead?

Or you could punch a hole in the floor.

Other than the God Emperor.

Others believe them to be remnants of a vast and timeless primordial mind.

Others call you Scourge, but does it matter who?

Our army is the best in the world.

Our brothers enhanced with Davion's power.

Our child. She was kind, clever, loving.

Our first task is to reclaim Dragon Hold and reclaim the Forge.

Our protection has always been enough to ensure that.

Over thousands of years, I've seen wonders and horrors, never this.

Over time, Mene's echo took form.

Overstepped.

Pain can be controlled.

Pain. Someone tugs at your heart. [scoffs]

People will disappoint you.

Perhaps I do. The place I came from many years ago.

Perhaps I misjudged. Perhaps I was overconfident.

Perhaps the Legati? But the guard would know.

Perhaps we should wait.

Perhaps, restore the dead.

Piece by piece. Blade by blade.

Please convey my kind regards to…

Please understand, if it comes to it, you will be the first to die.

Please, Kashurra! Stop!

Please, Marci.

Please! When I took the throne, I performed the ritual,

Please. I can't… Tell me how to help you.

Plenty of friends here. Got you to thank for their accommodations.

Pointless ritual.

Poor little handmaid. I know what it is to have no voice.

Portal scroll. Keyed to my sword. Say the words and I'll know.

Praise the Moon of Mene.

Praise, Mene! I can get us out.

Princess Mirana should never have left the Nightsilver Woods.

Princess of the Sun. Gaze into her light.

Princess, it was an honor.

Princess! Please! Stop!

Probably nothing. Hopefully something.

Probably that rooftop, maybe 600 lengths.

Propriety demands I call you "girl" or "handmaid."

Protect me? You destroyed me.

Protect the princess. Take her to the Eye.

Provide it then, from the other side of the river.

Put the princess down, or I swear, by the eyes of my fathers,

Quiet back there.

Quiet. Listen.

Quite impressive with the Oglodi.

Ready weapons!

Real? In this place? Nothing is real here. Everyone lies.

Reborn.

Recent experience has prepared me for worse.

Redemption stands in front of you.

Refugees flock from skirmishes on the enclave borders.

Remember your place. Remember your duty. Remember you are loved.

Remember, Davi, you are loved.

Remember.

Represents not the scope of your power

Resist all you like.

Retribution.

Return to the hoard. Stand in the light. And be forever changed.

Right flank!

Right. Yeah, see, the thing is, I am the problem.

Rightfully mine?

Ritterfau doesn't need it.

Ritterfau. Fight, damn it.

Roughhousing is forbidden the Shoehorn, but money clouds better judgment.

Ruined his tree. But he does fix it, doesn't he?

Rylai, the warden of Icewrack herself, manifests some features of a water dragon.

Rylai.

Safe, secure.

Sagan, komi. Sagan!

Sagan.

Sagan. Chagu, chagu. Komiza vis.

Same.

Sata emedu.

See, I know why you want them. I know what it all means.

Seems there's always something new to lose.

Selemene as well. How could I've been so blind?

Selemene had faith in the Invoker.

Selemene has fallen, but Mene has yet to rise.

Selemene offered nothing.

Servant, and protector.

Servants' stairs. Go. Find Father.

Serving someone else's glory.

Shabarra never had any real power. It was obvious.

Shabarra thought that marrying the Princess would solve it all.

Shabarra was weak.

Shadow stance, death, beckons me.

She could have killed Mirana at any time.

She did not expect you, or I would have prepared a welcome.

She does not need us. She must find the power within herself.

She filled it with nothing but love

She fought him.

She got out of the worst of it.

She is the Goddess of Night. The Goddess of Shadow.

She loved me.

She loved you until she died.

She must answer me.

She needs rest.

She needs us now.

She saved countless lives. I would be dead without her.

She saved me. It wasn't enough.

She tried to have me killed for her own political gain.

She was a part of me. A child of fire.

She was injured. Other children took her voice.

She was so alone.

She was so young, Kashurra. So full of promise.

She whispers soft across the void. 'Take my hand, be not afraid.

She will love you, little handmaid. And she will shine.

She would have looked at this city and thought it was here for her.

She would wander the forests as though she might find her there.

She's small, weak. So, they punished her. They hurt her.

She's still alive, and we know who hired her.

She's unusually strong and yet so small.

Shopkeeper Jim. Oath of silence. No, you wouldn't.

Should be obvious to everyone now.

Should I go after him, or…

Should we shout for the guards, or do you think the banging is enough?

Slaughter the traitors! Protect the princess!

Slaves to their Eldwyrms' lost souls.

Slayer! Slayer!

Slayer! Slayer! Slayer!

Slyrak did this to you for a reason. But it can't be this.

Slyrak needs the eye. I need an audience.

Slyrak sent me.

Slyrak sent you to kill the Emperor and lie to the Senate.

Slyrak would have known. He would have warned me.

Slyrak. He's gone.

So be it.

So clever you are.

So far from your own battle.

So full of hope. So earnest. So obliging.

So I went in search of its source.

So it missed some vital target.

So many different universes out there, each wishing for just a little more light.

So sad.

So talented, so determined.

So, a marriage of convenience.

So, dragons. Big dragon problem.

So, how does all of this get the big red dragon out of me?

So, the elf girl left.

So, they seal both ends of the pass and envelop us.

So, what would you have us do now?

So, you care if I live or die.

So, you know, if the Coriel'Tauvi dare attack us,

So, you're saying it's fine if she dies

Some say the Ore and its crimson opposite are the stuff of gods and demons.

Someone who could accept your uncle in the chair

Something like that.

Something you won't break.

Soon enough. Rest now.

Spare me your concern for my well being and say what you have come to say.

Speak carefully to me.

Splat.

Squire! Feed me!

Stay here. Stay quiet.

Stay together.

Step down and surrender yourself.

Still think I should join them?

Stop acting like you know me, like you know what I've done.

Stop, please! These people are harmless.

Strike Slyrak down. Free your brothers from their torment.

Successful emperors understand this. And so, the machine runs smoothly.

Suit yourself. I have a princess to rescue.

Sun's glory.

Sun's glory.

Sun's might.

Sun's valor, Slayer. Sun's my

Sun's valor! Sun's might! Sun's glory!

Sun's valor.

Sunbeam.

Sure. Right. Will do.

Take your pick of trained life extinguishers.

Take your power.

Tall, horrifying, bit of a reputation. Just like me.

Tell him I accept his proposal.

Tell me everything.

Tell me, what do you see? [growls]

Tell me, what more would you steal from me?

Tell the little mouse he is free.

Terrorblade and his allies strike at us in our sleep.

Terrorblade.

Terrorblade. Did he… Did anyone… Did they hurt you?

Terrorblade. I need a weapon. This way!

Thank you all.

Thank you, little Coedwen, for setting things right.

Thank you. The Nightsilver Woods will remember your hospitality.

That boy is more than a boy.

That boy…

That certain among us carry dragon traits in our blood.

That did not count. I demand a rematch!

That doesn't mean she was wrong to offer it.

That has never truly been yours.

That is all I ask now.

That is an order from your princess!

That is exactly where I was going.

That is the finest silk in the Imperium, stolen from the palace.

That isn't pointless.

That isn't possible.

That means nothing to them now.

That was the worst night of my life.

That was unnecessary.

That you'd gotten better, I would have come.

That's a lot of fucking dragons.

That's a state secret. But at this point, she was going to marry the Emperor.

That's all the bastard said?

That's faith.

That's not what I mean.

That's not what I meant.

That's one point of view.

That's really good. Or it's really terrible. I can't tell.

That's two you owe me.

That's what hope is.

That's what the demon wants.

That's when I knew the emperor was dead.

That's when I knew the fight was lost.

That's why you followed me. He did this. You're still helping him.

The army, huh?

The arrogance of that man!

The arrow was meant to kill her. It should have killed her.

The arrow. It came from there.

The assassin has disappeared. One witness is an escaped convict.

The aura of death is gone, as if you burned it from your own blood.

The black curtain of night against which they burn.

The blood that flows into your brains must be constricted.

The boy did. It's just like Leathsham.

The boy saw things.

The burning truth!

The captain and the princess led us out of the hell you left us in.

The captain's ready to see you.

The Coriel'Tauvi are on the move. Converging on the Nightsilver Woods.

The Crimson Devil himself.

The Dark Moon Order know Selemene is gone, but they believe in her anyway.

The Dawn Star rises, silent, gleaming elegies of rage forborne.

The dead cry out for vengeance. But you ignore their pleas.

The destruction of the Dragon Knights.

The Dragon Knight has an official request.

The elf. Well, she's a means to an end and nothing more.

The Elven Empire is still in its infancy.

The Emperor harbors concerns over war, but not from without, but from within.

The Emperor has his reasons.

The Emperor will see the Dragon Knight. But only the Dragon Knight.

The Emperor. He's a small man. Weak.

The enclaves, silent for generations, mass for war.

The Eye does not confer power. It simply confirms it.

The Eye has to be real.

The Eye is a fake. Mirana won't speak to me,

The Eye is a part of your hoard, but it does not belong to you.

The Eye is ours.

The Eye opens. The Eye sees.

The Eye. A relic so holy no one has touched it in 3,000 years,

The Eye. The Worldwyrm made flesh.

The Eye. Was it also smuggled out of the palace?

The floor. Shaking my bones, my teeth.

The fulfillment of my purpose in the cycle of creation.

The girl? [chuckles]

The goddess returns. Mene returns.

The godling acted according to her nature.

The gods can be sick bastards.

The harassing force I intend is me. Just me.

The Helio Imperium has need of a Regent.

The Helio Imperium?

The Helio Imperium. You killed a right fucking lot of them.

The hell is going on… here?

The honor guard? They're not just protecting the rectory.

The Imperium is still in chaos.

The Imperium is united.

The Imperium kidnapped me.

The Imperium needs leadership, strength. My name and my legion can provide it.

The kind of story the people and great houses can rally behind.

The knight who owned this, he was kind of an asshole, really.

The ley lines are down, our gifts are gone, Selemene falls silent.

The light must love you.

The little squirrel couldn't go back to the tree,

The longer we stay here, the more vulnerable we are.

The machine tears them apart.

The mouse has fled. His song fades.

The night Asar whisked me out of the Imperium,

The only chance, Ember Mouse, burn them.

The only thing you can do is manage it. Which is where I come in.

The only voice they will hear is the voice of their goddess.

The Oracle's prophecy is not yet fulfilled.

The panic. The fighting in the streets. The fires.

The people need the Princess of the Sun.

The people need things to believe in, which is where you come in.

The people need you. Don't say a word. Sleep on it.

The power you've stolen through the slaughter of dragons is impressive.

The Praetorian Guard scoured the city for Princess Mirana's assassin.

The priests teach Mene is more than Goddess of the Moon.

The princess and I would have our privacy.

The Princess is not ready to rule,

The princess left so I can lead you to safety.

The Princess of the Sun is dead. There is no heir nor hope for one.

The Princess rises.

The prodigal daughter returned on the arm of the Emperor, his queen.

The question is not "What are they?" The question is "What are you?"

The real one is out there. I have to find it.

The rest can find food in the mess.

The richest woman in the Imperium became Legatus of her own legion

The Senate selects a regent today.

The senate will appoint a regent, but that won't matter.

The servants should keep them away.

The Seventh Legion was fortunate you intervened.

The Shadow Terrace. Is that where I am?

The Slayer sent it back to wherever in the seven hells it came from.

The Solar God makes his home there. The Helio Imperium.

The Solar God's relic.

The sorcerer betrayed us.

The souls of your brothers. Your sisters. Only one gift remains.

The spire is the opposite direction of which we should run.

The squirrel, he did something bad.

The Sun always rises.

The Sun in the sky.

The Temple of the Sun will turn your chaos to order,

The things some used to say about me. All I know how to do is destroy, kill,

The threat from the Coriel'Tauvi looms as prophesied.

The throne should not abide thieves or cruelty.

The throne.

The Thunder is dead. I serve the Worldwyrm. I protect the Eye.

The two of you will get along famously.

The Uplands have long been allied with the Nightsilver Woods.

The viceroy found me. Ordered me to get you to safety.

The whole damned world is coming to an end.

The whole world seemed to stop. I couldn't move.

The wind plays tricks. These caverns are like a horn at times.

The woman tried to have me killed.

The world belonged to us once,

The Worldwyrm. The awful truth became clear.

The worst face punishment akin to what the girl endured.

Their souls captured. You alone remain. A piece of me.

Then he'll listen.

Then I guess it's just a question of what you plan to do about it.

Then I would like to offer one of my own.

Then I'll die with my brothers!

Then it was enough.

Then my father would've been wrong.

Then Shabarra's soldiers breached the palace.

Then they'll realize the futility of it all and crawl back in their holes.

Then watch our people drown the world in innocent blood.

Then we have to make a stand. We have to fight.

Then we will fight, little mouse.

Then we'll need supplies.

Then you did what you thought was right.

Then you're dismissed.

There are a dozen blades for hire out there right now.

There are many things the throne should not abide, but must.

There are security concerns.

There are things I have left undone for too long.

There are too few mysteries in the world. It is a sadness to solve them.

There awaits your seat, my Empress.

There can be no shadow without a light to cast it.

There is always a cost.

There is no distinction. There is no "you".

There is no hate in that book. Only grief.

There is no one all the houses will rally behind.

There is only one thing left for you to do.

There is power in the world beyond the dreams of dragons.

There is so much of your father in you, Sunbeam.

There won't be a world. Not for you, not for me, not for anyone.

There would have been only one opportunity.

There's a certain familiarity.

There's a demon, Father. His name is Terrorblade.

There's a demon. Terrorblade.

There's a Dragon Knight at the door. He aggressively wishes to speak with you.

There's a fort not far from here.

There's a way it could go back, you know. What would you do for that?

There's daylight yet to burn,

There's no flower more lovely, nor more dangerous to its admirers.

There's nothing new about it. It's the way of things.

These Coedwei are ruthless and determined. They may track us here.

These men and women are citizens on their way to a public meeting.

These people are not your friends.

These things, these mice who surround you,

They are all my enemies.

They become stories. Lore. Leaves on the tree.

They can put archers on the ridgeline. It's a killing field.

They cloud your mind, blind you to your own nature.

They do have me. Everyone has me. Now, how shall I reward you?

They freed my will and gave me a voice. They taught me their song.

They had power over her. They overstepped it. There was a cost.

They just put a crown on her head.

They left of their own free will.

They might have the medicine she needs.

They named me such.

They offered faith to dark shrines in remembrance of a dead goddess.

They pursued us for hundreds of spans

They say the Dark Moon Order was destroyed by a 12 foot demon.

They smashed it. It's over.

They take their orders from me, their Regent.

They will bring me Princess Mirana, untouched.

They will give us the occasional bloody nose.

They will grind this keep to sand.

They wonder where you went that day on the battlefield.

They wonder why you never came back. I don't wonder.

They're afraid of her. They like her money too much.

They're just travelers. Nowhere near the enclaves.

They're not alone.

They're swarming! Fall back!

They've never done that. It's not possible.

Things were done.

Think about how this looks for me. I brought the Princess here.

Thirty men rode to Leathsham. One rode back.

This animal requires expert handling and "

This felt like it might be one of those nights.

This gown looks like the taffeta came to life and decided to swallow me.

This includes the Emperor, who is merely a part of the machine

This infernal noise disrupts my solitude.

This is a prison.

This is a terrible job. Even for God. Everyone in the Imperium want something.

This is business. I'm after an idea, a story.

This is Davion's blood. Extracted. Transformed.

This is madness. I don't know who is worse.

This is no longer her concern.

This is no proper home for you.

This is not as we discussed. Nor is this who I think you are.

This is quite a place you have.

This is where swords are bought and sold. I come here for work.

This is who you really are.

This is your home now.

This isn't a little fight with a dragon.

This man was holding the Princess when we arrived.

This may be why any of this is possible at all.

This may be why you change.

This one's full. Your ride's over there.

This position looks secure.

This sword? Not exactly the hand me down that I wanted.

This, uh, little game you play always ends the same.

Those others, they did not.

Those that harmed her have been demoted or cast out.

Those who remained, accepted me as their goddess.

Three thousand years, I saw to her needs. Many lifetimes, many forms. I loved her.

Through there.

Thunder lost, lone voices praising, one from many has derived."

Tihomir used her family wealth to buy a title.

Tihomir, who uses her wealth to buy power,

Time to come down of the throne and talk business.

To an entire legion of the Dark Moon Order.

To battle!

To bleed and die for the Nightsilver Woods.

To face reality.

To Filomena.

To find a witness.

To know her power, the light must know love.

To love the light more than you love yourself.

To murder a goddess in her own temple.

To these filthy abominations!

Too attached to the dream.

Too attached to the flesh illusion you are.

Too decent for this place.

Too much heat, even for you. And we have no leads.

Traitor.

Transformed into a murderous abomination

Trust me. It still hurts.

Trying to push us into this narrow pass between the air dragon hunting ground

Turn your eyes! Her Imperial Majesty, Mirana!

Twenty two.

Twenty years, has it been?

Twenty years.

Uh, darling, he is the boss. The, uh, the tiny one.

Uh, Father?

Uh, I'm Bram. A Dragon Knight. And, and this is another Dragon Knight.

Uh, I'm not sure going into the city with a big, scary dragon Ah!

Uh, listen, there's something you should know.

Uh, we call it a collection.

Uh?

Uh.

Uh. Just the emissary, if you please.

Uh…

Uh… Thank you. Perhaps later.

Uldorak, Lirrak, now this failed attack on you, Vahdrak.

Um, sorry. It's just you talk. 'Course, you talk. You write. I can't write.

Unchain the bastard. I want to make a deal.

Under the ankle, damn it!

Under the circumstances, I think we should expedite it.

Unpredictable. Very poor qualities in a leader.

Unsuccessful emperors fall into the clockwork.

Until my rage brought me to the greater truth.

Until we could figure out what to do with you. How to help you.

Usually, it's something someone else has and wants to keep.

Vanari brought us here.

Very long story. But I should have listened to him.

Viceroy Kashurra disagreed.

Viceroy Kashurra, I am grateful for what you did for me.

Viceroy Kashurra? Seneschal Ekur?

Wait for everyone.

Wait here.

Wake, Vahdrak. Father of Chaos.

Walk in shadow, know the light.

Walk in shadow, know the light.

Wanted his boots shined daily. But he, he died, a knight's death.

War.

Was tangled up in the murder of the Emperor.

Was Terrorblade reshaping the universe to his liking.

We aid our brothers.

We are a brotherhood. A unit.

We are bonded as mates.

We are both responsible for this.

We are bound by a Shopkeeper covenant.

We are me. Do you not understand?

We barely made it out alive.

We bargain, you lie. You change the terms.

We believe you may have taken it the night my parents were murdered.

We belong to it.

We can't wait for them to come to us. We must go to them.

We could heal our wounded, regenerate limbs.

We defeat one usurper, and now we serve another.

We didn't even get to celebrate your last night as a bachelor.

We do not bargain for our lives. We attack the mouse in his tower.

We don't have time for any of that.

We don't have time to coddle them.

We don't need lotuses or ley lines, and we don't need any damn sorceress.

We either help people or we don't. There is no ledger.

We finish each other's sentences. Isn't that adorable?

We have been in the presence of the Eye all along.

We have questions.

We have to fight the true enemy.

We have to retreat. Find Father. More weapons.

We have what we have.

We have what we have.

We lived in peace. I left you to your own.

We made a good team in the shower.

We move!

We must pull the honor guard protecting the rectory.

We need a regent,

We need to fight by their sides!

We need to leave!

We need to protect the dragons.

We never specified that I would relinquish them all.

We recall our brothers who remain in the field.

We reclaim what has been stolen.

We send a small harassing force to the rear.

We share a common enemy today, little mouse!

We should discuss the composition of the Imperial War Council

We tracked down your assassin.

We weren't finished.

We will fortify the Enclave borders.

We will join with our allies and drive them back together.

We will warm the herd. We will shake the stars from heaven.

We'll be just fine. I promise.

We'll be out of the Imperial City in an hour.

We'll invite governors from every province,

We'll need steel for the battles to come.

We'll only stay long enough to treat our wounded and resupply.

We'll spare no expense to send the message far and wide,

We're all two people.

We're bonded as mate Wait, I'm sorry?

We're leaving tomorrow.

We're missing something.

We're saved.

We've lived without the power of a living god for a millennium.

Weakened to be sure, but they are hers.

Welcome home.

Well, honestly, it was nice while it lasted.

Well, that's not my decision.

Well, things are worse, so I suppose we did.

Well, to protect it, to keep its power out of my uncle's hands.

Well, you look like the top of a cake no one's eating.

Were your parents here, they would have you claim your throne.

What a long, sad road it's been.

What a mouse wants is nothing. What he has is nothing.

What about you?

What about you?

What are these made of?

What fun.

What happened?

What has been created, at times, must be destroyed.

What I would not have given to be cursed like you.

What in the crimson dawn is that?

What in the seven hells were you even thinking, following me here?

What is destroyed will rise and fall and rise again!

What price is too great a recompense for heartbreak?

What resides in her heart is eternal, beyond death.

What she was.

What the demon has corrupted, I will cleanse with fire.

What they're struggling to express

What you can see, I can imagine. We are evenly matched.

What?

What…

What… What are you?

What's the point of doing all this if none of us fucking matter?

Whatever happened here, there was no dragon.

Whatever it was, it was part of you.

Whatever that creature is, it's my problem now.

When I first came to the woods, when you found me, I was broken.

When I first met you, you needed me to protect you.

When I look to the moon, all I feel is the empty sky.

When my last dream of the thunder ended, I awakened like this.

When the moment came, I… I couldn't do it.

When we saw the fire, then you, we had to help.

When we're gone, we're gone forever.

When your princess died,

Where are we going?

Where is Davion?

Wherever the moon shines down on their narrow world.

Which is what you will do.

Which is why she set the world on fire and fled the scene.

Which makes me expendable.

While I was gone,

While the rest of us did the work we're expected to do.

While they consolidate, you escape through the pass.

Who could even get near it other than the emperor?

Who could have imagined it would be possible?

Who put her faith in a dream and inherited a nightmare.

Who sometimes became the other thing.

Who wants out of this place?

Whoa!

Whoa! [gasps]

Will Mirana do this all day?

Will they remember you, dear Bram?

With dreams of humans not fighting but conversing.

With someone else's left foot.

With this? I could slay them all.

Withdraw to the palace! Quickly!

Without hesitation.

Words I never thought you'd say. You asked what troubles me. Regret.

Work.

Yeah, I won't. I promise. Wait.

Yeah, I, uh, I probably should have told you.

Yeah, my uncle needs legitimacy.

Yeah. But no one refuses a Dragon Knight.

Yeah. Just the wind.

Years ago, I was forced by treachery to flee my home.

Yes, he has a need. And you have the power to meet it.

Yes, Majesty.

Yes, the girl who started all of this,

Yes.

Yes. Yes, of course. Excuse me.

Yet her people still worshipped. They loved.

Yet it seems it's true. Who could have taken it?

Yet my mother's final admonition gives me pause.

Yet you do not hear me.

Yet you hide behind an oath and call your cowardice loyalty.

Yet you think I would just hand it over to you, merely because you ask me.

Yi yah!

You abandoned us, renounced your claim to the throne,

You agreed three times. You must have great enthusiasm for this.

You and everyone else seem perfectly okay with pretending I'm not the reason.

You are a corruption that imagines itself a dragon.

You are a gentle soul.

You are a good man, Asar. Loyal and well loved by our princess.

You are a weapon. Destruction without guidance.

You are broken.

You are dismissed. All of you.

You are escaped convicts.

You are Mene. Goddess of the moon.

You are only as important to the story as you choose to be.

You are the child of the fire, a part of me, and you will obey.

You are the light. I am the Void. You are my purpose. My kneeling.

You are the only thing that makes sense in this whole fucking mess.

You assert an authority you lack.

You both think you're the only one who can.

You both want to save the world.

You broke me, goddess.

You brought me to this almost effortlessly.

You call him Father. He's just another disappointment.

You can start by giving us the Eye. The real Eye.

You can. You just walk out the door and pick a direction.

You can't change it. Not for good, not forever.

You can't even be sure if it is this Vanari who killed your Princess.

You can't ignore me, girl. I'm the Princess.

You cannot march your private legion into the city flying a house banner.

You cannot win this fight, Princess. Your father would have said the same.

You carry the weight of that bargain.

You certainly made a name for yourself

You confuse despair with defeat, little mouse.

You corrupt them.

You could do that, so…

You could have just told me no. [sighs]

You could have told me. This would be over.

You could not name it, but you hewed to her side.

You couldn't know.

You did not expect to find her here.

You did what I asked you to do.

You didn't do this.

You didn't even try.

You didn't sleep.

You didn't steal the Eye.

You didn't trust the goddess,

You don't approve of my efforts.

You don't know me.

You don't look so good.

You don't smell like a god.

You drove her out. Sent her to war.

You fail to consider that I see everything,

You failed to protect her. It should have been you. Pathetic little mouse.

You feel you owe Davion a debt of honor. I will never question that.

You forgot your place very quickly.

You found my hoard. The Ore calls to you as it once called me.

You have achieved what Slyrak himself could not.

You have burned seven homes in seven years.

You have chosen your fate.

You have forgotten our song. You will submit.

You have known its light. You have known its love.

You have no idea what you're doing.

You have no idea who I am. No one does. No one ever will.

You have no voice here, Dragon Knight.

You have not failed. You found the Eye.

You have nothing to teach me. I've had enough of this place.

You have the power to stop this.

You have to convince him. I think you're the only one who can.

You heard him. Hold the line.

You imagine yourself the cleverest being in all of creation.

You killed a dragon. Saw it with my own eyes.

You killed all those people.

You knew them?

You knights couldn't even protect yourselves.

You know me so well.

You know my name. What you don't know is how I earned it.

You know what awaits you.

You know, as lunch.

You lied to me. You used me. I believed in you.

You lost them. You lost her.

You made an enemy. A dangerous enemy, and for what?

You made me a monster!

You may have saved a lot of people. I think you can save even more.

You mean to say I should make the people love me.

You mean, kidnap her.

You murdered my parents for it. To hell with you and your story.

You must be the Dragon Knight. She spoke of you. She has a fondness.

You must do something, Father.

You need to give Davion back to us.

You needn't have said a single word.

You never liked to run from a fight.

You never mourned, did you? You disappeared into the hunt.

You never paid me for Kinski.

You poisoned her against me.

You pulled me back.

You really are adorable for a mouse who is too easily crushed.

You really think about how this guy ticks. His weaknesses.

You refused. A mistake.

You remind me of her in some ways.

You rode back. Alone. Always alone.

You sacked Legatus Tihomir.

You said it was a state secret. Who knew about all this?

You say my family will listen to me and live in peace if only I asked them.

You screamed that the whole journey here. Changes not a fucking thing.

You should ask her what she eats. Perhaps it would help you.

You should have told me then. You kept this to yourself.

You should join them. Worship.

You spent months failing to understand Slyrak.

You stay away. Stay away!

You still have limits.

You stood in the gaze of the Worldwyrm made flesh.

You think I'm just a little girl who might burn down the world.

You told me he would not be harmed.

You tried to kill my Sunbeam.

You two birds need to kiss. Or let me out of this fucking chair.

You want a wedding, I need an army.

You want to charge back into the fight. Hunt the demon to his lair, take his head.

You well sleep with one of those pretty eyes open.

You were right.

You were such a bright child.

You were trapped, Princess, caught between worlds, living and dead.

You weren't here. All I wanted was a way out.

You will always be safe here.

You will die, and no one will remember.

You will find me more formidable than a mouse.

You will lead them home.

You will lose what friends you have left.

You wiped out this entire outpost, all for a bounty.

You won't run from a fight.

You worry what happens if you fail to meet your obligation.

You would die for her.

You would do better to hurl rocks at the mountain.

You would have me fight for her,

You would have me take your place in the Flesh Illusion?

You would not have heard the words. You would not have wanted to hear.

You? With all your power, you managed to destroy half the city

You? You are nothing.

You.

You… You don't love me.

You'd be surprised how much it does and how much it doesn't.

You'll give me the Eye.

You're a Dragon Knight, but quite unlike the others.

You're afraid. Don't be.

You're calling to invade the Nightsilver Woods?

You're damn right, I did. I'm imagining a state wedding,

You're gifted with great power,

You're God Emperor. Why did they need me when they have you?

You're gonna mock someone for having a weird relationship with a dragon?

You're her. Selemene. The Dark Moon Goddess.

You're home. You're safe.

You're in no condition.

You're in!

You're insane. I won't allow it.

You're killing her!

You're learning. Take that. Return the favor.

You're my best friend. None of this changes that for me.

You're not gonna eat me, are you?

You're not making any sense.

You're not the reason. I am.

You're not understanding me.

You're not what I imagined you to be, or who.

You're right. I sound just like Davion.

You're saying our stories are lies.

You're the thief?

You're welcome to sit in that chair. We will bow, curtsy, and smile,

You're welcome.

You're wrong about one thing.

You've done your bit.

You've exposed your weakness.

You've just described everything wrong with the Imperium.

You've lied to me my whole life.

You've never loved me. You just… You wanted me in your collection.

You've no idea what madness you've loosed on the world.

You've seen it. They await your return. Believing you will fuel their shrines,

Younger than you when you completed the Crossing.

Your borders won't matter. Your troops won't matter.

Your brothers don't need tactics. They need what's been lost.

Your dependence on others still affect the material world.

Your destiny is to die on someone else's quest.

Your experience with the nuance of divine power

Your family still has friends here. We will get you to safety.

Your father loved the "thees" and "thous." But that never really my style.

Your father shouldn't be bothered with the business of servants.

Your goddess is risen.

Your hatred seeped through you, teaching her the same.

Your healing is extraordinary. Fast. Complete.

Your Highness, please!

Your Highness.

Your hoard.

Your identity, consumed.

Your intellect protects you from harm in exchange for loneliness.

Your legion gave me a name.

Your little godling failed you.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty. I trust you received my message from the viceroy.

Your own legion, a seat in the senate, or perhaps a name?

Your parents knew this. Kashurra knows it.

Your sister. Lina, right? Father said

Your soldiers…

Your time has come.

Your trust.

Your uncle misses you very much.

Your weakness to strength. We will save you.

Zal is gone, Shabarra is dead, but the law remains.

[indistinct chatter] [clanking]

[indistinct chatter] [suspenseful music]

[Kaden] Wasn't a fight. He walked out. It was a fight.

[Kashurra] And what did your mother say? A word. "Remember".

[Lina] I keep trying to tell you. To give up?

[Lina] It's been a long journey. Too long.

[Luna grunts] [groans]

[Luna grunts] [thuds]

[Luna screams] [Hieronimo grunts]

[Luna] She told you to say that. [Davion] Yes, she did.

[man 1 whistles] [driver] Quiet!

[man 1] Fall back! [man 2] Fall back!

[Mirana] So, you're with her? For now. Until this is over.

[Mirana] Until you have what you want. You know what I want.

A ring? [Auroth] A weapon.

Ah, you know him? He knows the princess.

And [Lina] Davion.

And if I'd said it makes me happy? [Auroth] Then I would say the same.

And Luna? Luna is a public enemy.

and you'll feel my boot up your [loud roar]

Asar! [grunts]

Asar. Mirana.

Bandages. [door opens]

Best damn squire in Dragon Hold. [Bram] Davion?

Burn them all! I'm not you!

But maybe. [Bram] I appreciate the honesty.

But the actual Irrelevant. We need a villain.

But you must kill Selemene. I can't.

But, Slayer… Let him go!

By the Dawn Star. We've summoned the healers.

Captain. [sighs]

Davion has a big problem. Dragons.

Davion, you have to listen to me. There's no Davion.

Deny him. [gasps]

Deny him. [gasps]

Do you feel that? You're right. It's strange.

Do your thing! Go! I came here to rescue you.

Except it is my fault. Fymryn.

Except… are they? Luna knows what she saw.

Follow me. Where are we going?

Free our brothers and sisters. [Luna] And you.

Gyaa! [Sagan growls]

Heading south. And you're going to join them.

How does it make you feel? Sad? I think.

How well? I gather very well.

I have a doubt. You mean it's right back there?

I just… I have abilities. The goddess's abilities.

I know. Is that a turtle, or Stay here.

I let you hold her. No, I'm not like them at all.

I must have died. I see angels. [groans]

I think they replaced it with a forgery. Impossible!

I took nothing. [Davion] It doesn't work.

I was mistaken. Not irreparably.

I will carve the bones from you. [growls]

I wish it were. Truly. Just put it away.

I won't run from a fight! A fight you can't win!

I would love to help you. I would. [door closes]

I wrote it. I, I love it?

I'll take it. Consider it a gift.

I'm Bram. Dragon Knight. And you are? [dragon growls]

I'm fine. Mother used to say that too.

I'm sorry about earlier, Sunbeam. [Mirana] "Sunbeam."

I'm sorry. It's not your fault.

I've tripled my security. I mean, the Princess.

If she gets hungry, I'll save you. Ha ha.

In fact, uh, you never thanked me. Mm.

Is it the tail? [Luna] It's the rest of the equipment.

It felt ugly. You knew.

It's complicated. [Shabarra] Simplify it for me.

It's getting worse. [Auroth] No, it's something else.

Legatus Tihomir. [screams]

Let me help. Oh, thank you, child.

Like this flower. [gasps]

Madam. [groans]

No, only the emperor may touch it. I think someone did.

Nothing will. [bang on table]

Now! [growls]

Of course, you were right. [clinks]

Oh, no. [sobs]

Oh, right. Sure. Total dragon hole. [Auroth groans]

Oh, shit! Close the

Oh, yes, they've changed so much. I hardly recognize it here.

Or she'll die. How long?

Please! Maybe Father is right.

Power is not a game. I want to go home.

Selemene is here at the tower. [gasps]

She will live. [whooshes]

Stand fast! [Asar] That hum.

Sunbeam. [gasps]

Thanks, I think we've got it. Well, good.

That isn't an option for me. Definitely not.

That's also a point of view. And what's your point of view?

That's what Kaden said. You saw Kaden?

The choice is yours. Not even your magic can kill a god.

The Eldwyrms. They told me… [Slyrak] The pillars have fallen.

The one who stole my lotuses. I only wanted to bring my people home.

The other, an enemy of the empire. Irrelevant. Their story is true.

The thunder will answer. Perhaps a bargain before bloodshed.

The which? [Mirana] The Leylines.

Then perhaps this was for the best. If it helps you to think so.

There must be another way. There is no other way!

They just let me go free. They made you the hero.

They're protecting me. [door closes]

This is our chance! [soldier 2] Grab your weapon!

This story, how does it end? It's the Tree of Lore. Everyone knows it.

To arms! [Bram] Right!

To arms! [Bram] To arms!

Trap us. Mm. Worse.

Uh, Asar? Princess?

Uncle. Leave us. Everyone.

Up. All of you. [soldier 1] On your feet!

We didn't part on the best of terms. So, I shouldn't mention you?

We have to keep moving. You have to stay on your back.

We head for the spire. [Hieronimo] No, no, no…

We make camp here. [Sagan growls]

We need rest. We need food. [humming in distance]

We need to go. I can't.

We send more troops. With our forces spread so thin,

We're at war. The Fathers are dead.

What is that thing? Earth wyrmling!

What? We're not really mated.

What's it doing? Trying to eat us! Stay with me!

With the Emperor dead… I… I'm sorry? With the Emperor, what?

With what? [Auroth] Anything.

Yeah. Hi. So… Hi.

Yes. Her admonitions for you as a girl.

You can mourn later. I don't want to mourn.

You have a doubt? Absolutely not. Not at all.

You realize he will betray us. If he does, he dies first.

You should have told me. We told no one.

You thought it was fate. [Davion] Yeah.

You want me to find a way. [knife swooshes]

You. You're gonna do this? What?

"A fondness."

"Can't be this"?

"Cursed", Kaden said.

"Dismissed"?

"I do! I do!"

"I'm the princess. I tell you what to do."

"Know your place, little rabbit."

"Mouse"? I am a god.

"No, you're just a peasant." "But…"

"Or a frozen waste's eternal gazing, ancient agonies survive.

"Princess of Nothing."

"Retribution." "Bargains."

"Things"? What things?

"You"? You mean, "We."

[Bram] I know I swore to protect you.

[Bram] I wish there were more I could do. But I know you want me to fight.

[Bram] Listen, we have a big problem.

[Bram] Oh, definitely. No question.

[Davion] I failed.

[Davion] I told you to get out!

[Davion] If I'd known you were, you know,

[Davion] It's easy. You put your hand on the knob and turn.

[Davion] Just tell me how to end this.

[Davion] Lina?

[Davion] No. I, uh, sometimes I have problems sleeping.

[Davion] Nothing.

[Davion] Oh! Your sister is a terrible shrew.

[Davion] One flare doesn't seem like much of a party.

[Davion] Princess.

[Davion] Probably not.

[Davion] She's not going to get the chance. You know what's out there.

[Davion] That was definitely something.

[Davion] The official story? Lina, I murdered someone.

[Davion] The people will rally behind you.

[Kashurra] I simply know what you really are.

[Kashurra] I've never had much enthusiasm for you, Lina.

[Kashurra] Lay down your weapon.

[Kashurra] Lina will not help you.

[Kashurra] Of course, it works.

[Kashurra] Once, I was only a dragon.

[Kashurra] She is your handmaid. Her family was promoted.

[Kashurra] So you remember your place, and you remember your duty.

[Kashurra] The Imperium is a machine.

[Kashurra] The Slayer…

[Kashurra] There is a cost.

[Kashurra] They can be yours.

[Kashurra] You see those banners? They honored your father.

[Lina] Fate is strange.

[Lina] He's lost. Frightened. Alone.

[Lina] I think that's what you're looking for.

[Lina] I thought he would abdicate.

[Lina] I've always been the fire.

[Lina] It's a signal.

[Lina] Maybe it's not a forgery. Maybe it's all just a lie.

[Lina] Princess Mirana wants to send your sons and daughters

[Lina] Remember, make him feel like he holds the cards.

[Lina] The rear! He's coming in behind us!

[Lina] They're going to kill each other.

[Luna] I have news you'll want to hear and news you won't.

[Luna] I'm looking for Vanari. You know her.

[Luna] On your feet, you animals!

[Mirana] Marci.

[Mirana] Move aside!

[Mirana] My father would have seen this coming.

[Mirana] My grandfather's sword.

[Mirana] Never harm me?

[Mirana] Or perhaps it's the opposite.

[Mirana] Tell the Emperor I've slept on it.

[Mirana] The last time I saw you in the enclave, fighting for our lives,

[Mirana] The man I remember promised me he would see it through.

[Mirana] Travel to the enclaves.

[Mirana] Viceroy, honored council members, senators.

[Mirana] We have our moment. We take it.

[Mirana] We were attacked by the Coedwei.

[Mirana] We're in friendly territory now.

[Mirana] What was it you wanted, precisely?

[Mirana] You don't have to imagine. You know. You've lost as I've lost.

[Mirana] You killed her.

[Mirana] You took them from me. You took everything from me!
