In a time before history, the Hyborian Age, there existed the land of Hyrcania.

It was a place of breathtaking beauty and pristine nature, where people lived

one with the goddess of the earth.

Respecting her gifts and sharing her bounty, it was a time of peace and

harmony. until the rise of the barbarian King Asus, who swept across the land,

bringing terror and destruction wherever he went.

Time to move on.

We're heading west today.

I feel today's the day.

Bless your sacrifice.

Thank you, Forrest.

Thank you.

Goddess Asura, please make today the day I find my people.

Oh, stop it.

Your odor was awesome.

We want some money!

Goddess Azshara, why pray you ease the suffering of this child?

And grant me the power to find those who did this.

You can't come.

You stay here.

I'm going to cut some fur.

Vihur, are your ears still filled with water?

Vihur, I said stay here.

When I get back, I'm swapping you for a poem.

I'm not nearly drunk enough.

I knew boys had a good day.

But a theory of all will win real gold.

I'm going to leave this place rich men.

Nothing left but vermin and scavengers.

Find the corn! Find the corn!

Gimp is coming.

Thank you. Thank you. That's very kind.

My Emperor, we have prepared a feast in your honour.

Progress first, feast later.

Commander... Artran. Commander Artran. I want to hear of nothing but progress.

Progress, please.

Excellent. We're clear in half a league a day.

Half a league. Are my machines not working correctly? Oh, no, no, no. Your

machines are exceptional, my Emperor.

They're a wonder of invention.

Excessive of fuel.

Equal parts that are undisplaced.

I marvel at the brilliance of your mind. You couldn't even imagine them. Without

these machines, we would never be able to cut the trees as fast as we are.

But the forest is vast, and we lose many workers for the beasts that dwell

within. Commander Ash, we need the lumber to fire the furnace.

And the ore is building entire cities.

Homes for people.

Places for people to live, to work, to trade. Do you see?

And there are secrets within that I shall have.

You wouldn't deny me these things.

You shall have everything you desire.

Good.

We've captured beasts for your arenas.

Sabertooths, Volcans, a Mortverum even. I am getting a Cyclops, though. Isn't

that right, Minister Coulter? Oh, yes.

Yes, Emperor. We have hunters in the forests of Northeim and Tritium right

They will not fail.

Now that is real progress, Commander Archer.

Now, who do we have here, General Carlyle?

The last of the Turin rebels, my Emperor.

Have a care.

This man was once the great king of Turan. Your majesty.

Your knees. Your royalty.

Show some dignity. Defeat.

You know, we once met before when I was a little slave boy pouring ale in the

service of King Ant.

We did. Oh, yes, yes.

I recall you had the promise of greatness about you even then. Really?

Because I recall how you spat on me.

Quite bad.

Ancient history. Perhaps we can make amends.

Amends? I'm at your service.

Yes, you are. Your land bordered the Hyrcanian forest.

It's said to be as wide as the world itself.

You know I'm looking for something there.

The missing half of your book of secrets.

Do you know where it is?

Glorious dragon, the Hyrcanian forest is endless and full

of monsters.

What of the tribes who live there?

There are no tribes, emperor. It is too dangerous.

What of the Hyrcanians?

The Hyrcanians were all slaughtered by your predecessor, my lord Ansus, who you

defeated with your machines and your brilliance.

Only the gods dwell within, and only they decide who may pass

through.

You think that your gods can stop me from conquering the world beyond?

Even you cannot defeat gods, my lord.

Is that right?

I will defeat your gods.

Do you want to know how?

It's knowledge.

Knowledge. that allows me to control the world like I control those savage

beasts. It's knowledge that brings civilization to the barbarians. Have any

your gods ever done that?

No. No? Why?

Why?

Because your gods are not real. They don't exist.

And yet you continue to believe.

And that is why you and all of your kind are relics from the past. And I am the

future.

Karlak?

What is your judgment?

These have no use to me.

What do we have here?

Is this machine not working correctly?

Don't let the Emperor hear you say that. He'll have that ape man cut your head

off too.

Nah, we got him a nice beastie for his arena.

You came into my forest and left death and suffering.

You have nothing but cruelty in your heart.

Whores are supposed to be in that tent.

I'll come by later.

You look as if you clean up good.

Butters!

Eat, my friend.

I'll have you when you're getting back in the forest soon.

You dare to take what Dragan owns?

No one can own the creatures of the Force.

Anyone can own anything with enough power.

Dragan owns the world.

What tribe are you from, Red Woman?

I have no tribe.

Where is your home?

This forest.

Liar. No one can survive the Hyrkanian Forest. Everyone knows that.

And it'll be gone soon enough anyway.

Yes.

Yes, I should slit her throat for her lies.

Then she could join you.

Why are you talking to the air?

Are you mad?

Mad?

Mind your own business!

You looked as if you'd be better at this.

I thought I would be too.

But to be fair, I'm better with a knife. That much is obvious.

What's

going

on here?

What more?

General Carter, this isn't entertainment.

Carter, help her.

Stay down.

Will she live?

Lady Onithia, cut her deeply, my lord.

The wound may spoil.

Viur. You think you have no fighting skills?

None of what?

Why didn't Karlak have to save you then?

Are you her Katie?

Speak! She says she has no tribe.

Why are you here?

General Karlak Luthen her tongue.

Now speak up. Tell us all.

The Hyrkanian forest.

Very crude.

But you're clearly looking for something.

So am I.

This might be very useful to me.

My lord! Are you hurt?

No, I'm fine.

I'm fine. I like this one.

Very, very feisty, eh?

Don't spill her blood, Aenecia.

I've had a better idea.

She joined the Dalmatians. Let's see how this barbarian turns in the arena.

Perhaps, who knows, she might become a champion to rival you.

Sanja! Run! Run to the forest! Take the children and run! Go!

What do we do with her? This one's for the damn Nazi.

Where's the wagon?

In you go!

You must really like that horse.

Mama, no!

Is she going to live?

She's stronger than any of us.

She will live.

It is time.

It is time for you to wake, my daughter.

There's much to do now.

I am awake, Mama.

You're not.

And I am not your... Mama!

Me, Captain.

Her fever is broken.

She lives as the Emperor requested.

So it seems.

She is now your problem.

Look around.

You are in the Donati pits.

There's nowhere to go.

No escape. Would you stop your foolishness?

Just having my breakfast.

You know, it's always the new ones.

Can't we just start our day in peace?

Fight later?

If you insist on dying, simply wait a few days for the games.

Don't waste your blood here.

There'll be no cheers.

Listen to Osin. He's right.

He's been here longer than any of us. Keep away.

Why?

Why?

Because I'll slit her throat.

Go ahead.

No one here, Kaz.

Are you finished?

Take a bunk.

Sit down.

Unless you'd rather be my wife.

She's nothing.

Oh, more fresh meat.

You don't know my much either.

You think I give a hook shit about your little pecker and your worthless

opinions?

Little Petra.

Petra.

She's insulting my manhood.

She's a good judge of character.

Petra, tell me what it is you see in him when it's far better right before you.

I prefer an uncut gem rather than a polished jewel with no personality.

That's enough!

Training starts at second bell.

Latecomers will be flogged.

My lord, how is the search going in the Hyrkanian forest?

Disappointing. How can you be certain it is even there?

When Anvis drove the Hyrkanians into extinction, the survivors fled into the

forest and took the other half of this with them.

Why are you so convinced you need the other half of this book?

Look at everything you've accomplished already.

Look at this.

Do you know what this says?

Do you know what it says? You know I cannot read it. Only you have deciphered

the code.

It says... The child who holds the knowledge within...

Shall hold the world in their hands. It's a prophecy, do you see? It's a

prophecy about me. I am that child, and I unlocked the secrets and changed the

world. And in the missing pages of this will be knowledge that even I can't

imagine, Crudellus. New ideas, new machines, new worlds. This is the key to

shaping the future of my world. And this is my story.

Do you understand?

This is my story, and yet without the other half... I don't have an ending.

I need an ending, but I don't.

How's she doing?

Not bad, farther than I ever got.

Not as far as I did, though.

How did she end up here?

I heard she attacked the emperor's fort in the Hyrkanian forest.

I heard she took on six guards for a hold.

Has anyone ever made it to the top?

No one has ever made it to the top.

She's passed my mark.

What does she think will happen if she makes it?

Well, look at that.

Now this is going to get interesting.

Oh, now she's in trouble.

Maxim, if she actually knew what she was doing.

Well, I doubt she's going to live long enough to find out.

If you want freedom so badly, all you have to do is win.

Mm -hmm.

Like Lady Anissia.

Anissia of the White Hare.

The mad one who talks to herself.

You're talking to her, Gubb. They say she is haunted by everyone she has ever

killed.

She was a damnati. Yes, but she was a child slave first, then a damnati.

She killed everyone before her and won her freedom.

I fought her already.

I lost.

Obviously, I lost.

But when we fight again, I will be better prepared.

Leave us, please.

My Lord?

The only time for the banquet, Anita. Aren't you ready?

I'm feeling unwell.

Perhaps we could eat here.

Don't you want to stay here?

Spend some time together?

We're always together.

You know what I mean.

Why have we never shared a bed?

Don't you think an emperor deserves an emperor?

Or am I still a slave and damn naughty to you?

Anita, you're far more than that to me. Neither of us are what we were. I mean,

look around.

We were slaves who found our path to freedom.

Am I free?

I do not feel it.

I cannot escape their voices.

All the time, they torment me.

You promised that you would find a cure to this curse.

And I will, I swear, once we understand the true nature of this

error in your mind.

There's an error in my mind.

Voices are real.

My spirits surround me.

You will find a cure.

And then your suffering will be over. And then, when you are whole, when you

are one, then you will be my empress and you will rule alongside me.

But for tonight, let us quiet those voices for a time.

Yeah. Okay, hurry.

You can never save us.

Get training!

The games are today!

What's your name, troublemaker?

Sonia. Sonia?

Which tribe?

I have no tribe.

Well, welcome.

Sonia, who is alone in the world.

Call me Osen, the untouched.

Untouched? Why?

Because no one has ever touched me with a blade.

Never? Not since my imprisonment here.

But perhaps you could be the first one to touch me and win the prize.

And what prize is that?

Me.

You.

Can't you think?

Think the open is mine.

Rude. What's through there?

The arena's through there.

The whole reason we're here.

Where we fight.

Who do we fight?

Whoever they put in front of us.

Barbarians.

Creatures.

Each other.

Each other.

But no one here is my enemy.

And no one here is your friend either.

Make none.

Have no attachments.

Life is cheap.

So we fight for what?

Just bought...

Surely you've killed before.

For food.

To protect what I love, not for sport, never.

Well then.

This one, a week at most.

Give me that time, please. Don't push.

Ashman, give me my weapons.

Out of my way, Petra. Today, we meet the god.

God? Oh, wait.

There you go, Petra.

Get the movement, Blakesmith!

Boss, I can't. Boss, boss, I can't.

you realize the only way out now is through death.

You won't be so keen when you are up here. Don't worry.

I left some for you.

Ha ha ha!

Are you ready?

Make me proud!

Betra.

For love.

Keep it on, honey.

Don't push it.

You'll get yourself.

To get out of this miserable hole, I need to die or win, correct?

That's right.

I'm Nazi James.

Hear that? Biggest day of the week for these dads, eh?

Very well.

I want that, and that, and those.

Excellent choices.

You can have this, this, and

these.

And that protects?

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

The crowd will love it.

Did he ever make you any?

I would have cut the balls from any man who tried to make me.

Ignore them all.

And just focus on what's coming out of that gate.

What is coming through that gate?

It'd be anything.

I have a wooden sword.

Well, you best hope it's not a giant beaver, then.

Why didn't they ever dress you up that way?

Damn Nazi.

Fight.

He wants us to fight.

Each other.

Well... No.

We have to.

One of us dies, or we both die.

We are damnati.

By the goddess, I will not fight you. Sonia!

I will not fight her for your entertainment.

But I will fight you!

Or are you a coward?

I'm sure this mob would enjoy that!

Touched by madness.

Yes, it's such a shame she's about to die. I like better that way.

Petra!

Petra! Good shot.

Well done.

Petra! Get up!

Petra, I'm sorry.

Relax. There's nothing you can do.

I don't think that's a good idea.

Her last thoughts were for you.

Tonight we drink to the fallen Danati.

Let us pray that they're with their ancestors.

May they rest in peace. To the fallen.

To the fallen.

Thank you.

Tell me of progress.

My lord, the forest beast is ready for the test.

Good, good.

We are using your new design for the yoke.

Good.

And as you can see, the yoke is working better than ever. Better than ever.

No,

no, my lord, please don't do that.

Hmm.

Better than ever.

That's true.

Still not on humans?

Sadly, not yet.

I've conducted many experiments, but they all die.

But I've no doubt you will overcome the challenges, Lord. I mean, I've pondered

little else over my travels.

But the answers are in the book, I'm sure of that.

All the missing knowledge will be in the other half, and then, once we've

perfected this yoke...

We're going to build a whole new army.

But here, we have made very exciting progress.

As you designed, the Orb's energy is now powering the whole city and can soon be

used in your new weapons.

My name is Dykes.

How do you know the songs of my people?

It is Arcanian. I know.

And you are clearly not Arcanian.

By the goddess, you are one of the orphans from the forest.

Lost after Anza's attack.

It was said that none of you survived.

I survived.

One by one, my friends were taken by starvation, cold, disease.

Always searching, I learned the ways of the forest.

How to live and thrive.

I survived, but I was one.

No longer.

living and thriving in the heart of the forest.

I've loved him for so long.

I'm not alone.

We have to escape this place.

Open the gates!

Barbarian! Time to get changed.

The Emperor wants to see you.

Why

is

that barbarian here?

Oh, I thought she'd...

Add a splash of color.

So you like my map, Barbarian?

It's better than yours.

What you're looking at is the known world entirely under my control.

I have armies in every land.

My conquest extends from sea to sea. And with the help of your map... Your

precious forest is next to fall.

Why? Why do you wish to destroy it? Because there are secrets within.

I said I will never allow it.

You think this goddess of yours will show up and save you?

Save the day?

That day will never come.

Because guess what?

All of the gods are in here.

You are Hyrcanian, after all, aren't you?

My Emperor!

My Emperor!

Watch!

My Emperor! Watch!

She's here!

She's here!

Oh! Cyclops!

Excellent! Send her back to the pit! Everybody else follow!

Protect the book.

You are the one, Sonya.

Why am I not fighting?

I'm better sport than any of these. Empress order!

You're to watch them all die.

Do not let this one die.

This one?

Do you understand it's unlikely that any of us will survive the death? We must

keep him alive.

You heard the woman. Stay alive.

What about me? Hey, what about me? He didn't say anything about you.

Red? Brown?

I want something good today.

You do realize your entire job is to die exceptionally.

Why would I arm a pig if all I want is bacon?

If my only job is to die well, why will they not let me fight today?

That's up to the Emperor.

He's got a plan, you see.

Damn. I want armor and weapons.

Good ones this time.

Why would you possibly be smiling now?

Because you're the only one that's ever remembered my name.

You're exceptional.

not what you want. Well, I want you to tell us all where the last of those

Hyrcanians are.

I am the last.

We both know that that's not true.

Tell me now.

Come on.

Tell us all now or every damn Nazi in this arena dies here tonight.

Come on.

It's up to you. We will not fight each other. You don't have to fight each

other.

Behold.

Shall we see what this excellent beast can do?

With every blood.

Oh, I hope so. I hope so.

Enemy! There is your enemy!

Through here!

Where's Olsen?

He went over.

I'm sorry.

Doesn't count!

I'm still untouched!

So what now, son?

The Cyclops opened the way. Go!

There's your freedom.

I'll meet you by the White Chapel on the hill at dawn.

But first, there's something I have to do.

Where's my horse?

Your horse?

I'll show you your horse!

My home.

How many dead?

Many. I saw Kulkar crush dozens in the crowd. I'm your king.

Get out!

Guards! Guards! Help us!

Get out!

The Emperor will punish you for this.

Okay, okay, I'm leaving. Don't hurt him.

Stay here.

I mean it.

The orb.

What has she done?

No, no, no, no, no!

My lord, are you hurt? No.

Her doing.

She has not changed her plans.

She's gone back to the forest to find her.

I've sent gals after her.

She's not coming.

She said dawn.

She's coming.

Good to stay optimistic.

No, she's coming.

So, you made it.

Of course.

I said I was coming.

Mount up!

We have a long way to go.

What are

you

doing?

Sonya, my kingdom lies to the south.

Dragan left it in ruins.

Destroyed my cities.

Killed my people and enslaved its prince.

But that prince is free now. Thank you.

What?

You actually are a prince?

Yes.

It's the crown prince of Shem at your service.

Don't expect me to bow.

There's no one here that should have to bow to anyone.

I thought we would fight together.

I'd love nothing more than to fight with you, Sonya, but I have a kingdom to

rebuild.

And an army together.

Have no fear. You will see me again.

I do not fear not seeing you, you arrogant buffoon.

You know what, Red? You are quite the woman.

And you, Osen.

are no longer untouched.

Stay alive, Princess Inafshem.

One day I will claim my pride.

Are you excited?

To see my people again.

It is all I dreamed of.

For longer than I can say.

Love has changed over the years.

May not be what you remember.

I remember warm beds.

Good food.

Singing of songs.

And laughing.

Laughing.

At least until High Priest Hespera would scare us to silence.

She still does.

Hespera's still alive?

Oh, yeah.

She's older now and wiser, but she's still fearsome to the little ones.

Sonia, we've caught a scouting party following us.

Where are the others? You don't need to worry about them.

They're feeding the crows. I thought you might like to talk to this one, though.

Does Dragan know where we are?

Answer me. You think you escaped?

He's been following you since you left.

How far behind?

One day, but not for long.

I don't know why, but he wants you badly.

You know you're all going to die, right? You first.

What do we do now? We should make a stand.

Here. Not here.

Not on this open ground.

Fakes, come with me.

She's right.

A day is plenty of time to prepare.

Ride as fast as you can, two people.

One of them, Dragan, is coming.

But what about...

It's your dream to go home.

You heard the scout.

Dragan wants us to leave him there.

I cannot go home.

I'm sorry you won't get home again.

The Nati.

My friends.

This is where we part.

What? What do you mean?

Explain, Sonia.

I'm going to try and lead Dragan and his forces into the forest, but away from

my people.

Then in my own world, I will do what damage I can.

I cannot ask you to follow me as nothing but death awaits her.

Nothing but death awaits us all anyway.

It is the manner of death that counts.

And this is a good way to die.

Let's fight.

Rebel warfare.

It's my favorite kind.

Sonya, we are all to your side until this is over.

I know just where to start.

Archen!

Well? Speak!

The Red Devil.

She came back.

She came out of nowhere.

There was nothing we could have done.

They ambushed us.

And never too many of them.

Karlak.

Tell me, when will the rest of my army be here?

A day or two. No more. A day or two?

Our scouts in the forest are too few.

You must crush her before news spreads that a handful of damn Nazis stood

against you.

Return her body for all in Whitehaven to see.

No one can know of your weakness.

My weakness?

I am not weak!

I'm not the one who...

Needs to drink constant potions to stop myself from tearing my mind apart.

Am I?

Amicia. Amicia.

Hey there.

May I approach?

Forgive me. I'm a spark.

No, no. It's fine. It's... Of course you are not weak.

This world is yours to rule. Lady Amicia.

Emperor! It's her!

She's here!

Keep sending scouts in the forest!

We want more spores!

Red Devil!

It just so happens that I am... something for you too general karl i'll

clean

I'd prefer if you didn't.

You are a king.

I am.

And you are the one they are calling Red Sonja.

Say what's the day?

Sonja?

This is...

I remember you.

And now you, daughter of Danara.

Your long exile is over.

Welcome home.

I was leading a scouting party.

We saw Dex taken, but there were too few to save him.

Dragan is coming to destroy the last Arcanians.

No, Sonya.

Dragan... is after this.

The other half.

How did Dragan get his half?

The Dayanses attacked our village.

A terrified little boy fled into the temple and hid as our priest was trying

save the book.

Thor was one too.

I saved one half, but

fled before Ansys came to kill us all.

Not knowing I was leaving that frightening little boy behind.

In the squalor of the slave pits,

The child must have turned his brilliant mind to unlocking the secrets of the

book.

Secrets that would lift him from slavery to become... Dragon.

Is there a canyon?

He cannot get the other half.

He must vanish even deeper into the forest.

No.

Someone has to make a stand, or it won't just be the Acanians who suffer.

It will be every tribe, every people who defy him.

And right now, Draken is more vulnerable and less defended than he ever will be.

It's now or never.

Ready?

the mark of

And you will be my empress.

Oh!

Oh, then I shall thank you, for I shall see my love all the sooner.
