184
00:10:37,396 --> 00:10:38,271
[elfyn] Get back!
185
00:10:39,896 --> 00:10:41,021
[elf] Get away!
186
00:10:42,896 --> 00:10:43,979
Down!
187
00:10:44,062 --> 00:10:46,312
[adventurous music continues]
188
00:10:48,646 --> 00:10:49,812
Like I showed you.
189
00:10:54,729 --> 00:10:56,396
[grunting]
190
00:11:06,229 --> 00:11:07,896
-[sighs] Aah.
-[explosion]
191
00:11:08,479 --> 00:11:10,229
-[Fjall] Good?
-[Alvitir] Good.
192
00:11:10,312 --> 00:11:11,646
[breathing shakily]
193
00:11:12,479 --> 00:11:14,396

[tense music playing]

-[pounding at door]
-[gasps]
197
00:11:29,104 --> 00:11:30,187
Enter.
198
00:11:33,146 --> 00:11:35,271
-Apologies.
-It's all right, Fjall.
199
00:11:35,896 --> 00:11:37,479
Decorum be damned.
200
00:11:38,396 --> 00:11:39,271
[laughs softly]
201
00:11:41,521 --> 00:11:43,187
Dog Clan sealed the palace.
202
00:11:44,062 --> 00:11:46,771
No one's in or out
until we find out who's behind this.
203
00:11:47,854 --> 00:11:49,729
Now, I want you to hang on to this.
204
00:11:51,146 --> 00:11:52,146
Just for now.
205
00:11:53,354 --> 00:11:54,396
You saved us.
206
00:11:55,562 --> 00:11:56,562
[Fjall sighs]
207
00:11:57,396 --> 00:11:58,437
You saved me.
208
00:11:59,687 --> 00:12:00,937
You saved yourself.
209
00:12:03,937 --> 00:12:06,937
You've always been there
when I've needed you.
210
00:12:09,146 --> 00:12:10,146
It's my duty.
211
00:12:11,271 --> 00:12:13,437
Well, we both know
that it's more than that.
212
00:12:13,521 --> 00:12:15,646
[tender music playing]
213
00:12:25,854 --> 00:12:27,146
[sighs]
214
00:12:28,271 --> 00:12:30,187
-We agreed.
-[sighs]
215
00:12:30,271 --> 00:12:32,646
You might be able to forget, but I can't.
216
00:12:32,729 --> 00:12:34,604
I haven't forgotten.
217
00:12:36,521 --> 00:12:38,729
-If we'd have been caught--
-But we weren't.
218
00:12:39,896 --> 00:12:41,562
Fjall, I nearly died today.
219
00:12:44,062 --> 00:12:45,854
I won't die living a lie.
220
00:12:45,937 --> 00:12:46,854
[sighs]
221
00:12:46,937 --> 00:12:48,146
[tender music continues]
222
00:12:55,937 --> 00:12:57,062
[Fjall groans]
223
00:13:00,646 --> 00:13:02,604
I was born to be your protector.
224
00:13:05,146 --> 00:13:06,354
So protect me.
225
00:13:14,812 --> 00:13:16,521
No markings on the assassins.
226
00:13:16,604 --> 00:13:18,812
Captain Eredin
is rounding up suspects for interrogation.
227
00:13:18,896 --> 00:13:21,146
Eredin doesn't know
his arse from his elbow.
228
00:13:21,229 --> 00:13:22,562
Fuck him and his shiny army.
229
00:13:22,646 --> 00:13:24,771
Where the fuck were they today
when it counted?
230
00:13:24,854 --> 00:13:27,062
Couldn't organize a ride in a brothel.
231
00:13:27,854 --> 00:13:28,771
Where's Fjall?
232
00:13:29,437 --> 00:13:30,771
[gasping]
233
00:13:30,854 --> 00:13:32,687
[tense music playing]
234
00:13:42,562 --> 00:13:43,562
Fuck.
235
00:13:45,687 --> 00:13:47,687
[horses neighing]
236
00:13:49,062 --> 00:13:51,437
Just kill me. Be done with it.
237
00:13:51,937 --> 00:13:53,979
No. You need to suffer.
238
00:13:54,687 --> 00:13:55,979
In disgrace.
239
00:13:56,062 --> 00:13:59,437
New king,
assassins waitin' in every shadow,
240
00:13:59,521 --> 00:14:01,396
and you couldn't even keep control
of your cock.
241
00:14:02,437 --> 00:14:06,187
Thank the gods Kareg didn't live
to see you betray your own clan.
242
00:14:06,271 --> 00:14:09,187
I know you wished he returned from battle
that day instead of me.
243
00:14:10,229 --> 00:14:11,396
I never said that.
244
00:14:12,521 --> 00:14:13,521
Didn't have to.
245
00:14:14,979 --> 00:14:17,021
I've wished the same every day since.
246
00:14:17,521 --> 00:14:19,729
I needed both of you by my side.
247
00:14:20,396 --> 00:14:24,646
He was taken, and you were supposed
to take over as chieftain.
248
00:14:26,021 --> 00:14:27,479
But you betrayed your clan.
249
00:14:28,646 --> 00:14:29,646
Your oath.
250
00:14:30,521 --> 00:14:31,729
You betrayed me.
251
00:14:37,104 --> 00:14:38,271
[Fjall] The border.
252
00:14:40,979 --> 00:14:41,854
Aye.
253
00:14:45,146 --> 00:14:46,396
[sighs]
254
00:14:47,479 --> 00:14:48,812
Let's be done with it.
255
00:14:55,312 --> 00:14:56,937
Fjall Stoneheart,
256
00:14:58,021 --> 00:15:02,062
you have broken your oath
as royal protector
257
00:15:02,146 --> 00:15:03,937
and betrayed your birth clan.
258
00:15:04,021 --> 00:15:07,521
You are hereby banished from Xin'trea.
259
00:15:07,604 --> 00:15:09,437
[somber music playing]
260
00:15:09,521 --> 00:15:10,729
Dog Clan disown you.
261
00:15:12,187 --> 00:15:13,062
As do I.
262
00:15:28,396 --> 00:15:31,062
You'll die forgotten. And unspoken.
263
00:15:36,521 --> 00:15:37,521
Goodbye, Father.
264
00:15:49,146 --> 00:15:50,062
Yah!
265
00:15:50,937 --> 00:15:52,104
[neighs]
266
00:15:55,521 --> 00:15:56,896
[knock at door]
267
00:16:01,146 --> 00:16:02,646
-[elf] Shall I guess?
-[door closes]
268
00:16:02,729 --> 00:16:04,729
The Solryth Sagas.
269
00:16:04,812 --> 00:16:06,271
Don't mock, brother.
270
00:16:06,354 --> 00:16:09,771
You're obsessed. You need
at least one friend who isn't a book.
271
00:16:10,646 --> 00:16:11,896
[groans]
272
00:16:12,646 --> 00:16:16,146
I don't know how you live like this.
Mm-- The smell alone.
273
00:16:16,229 --> 00:16:21,479
All this is our future.
What has happened will happen again.
274
00:16:21,562 --> 00:16:23,562
-Oh, you're a seer now.
-No.
275
00:16:24,271 --> 00:16:26,729
I just don't deny
what's in front of my own eyes.
276
00:16:28,271 --> 00:16:31,771
Dwarven script, fifteen hundred years old,
277
00:16:31,854 --> 00:16:33,937
telling of Solryth's arrival.
278
00:16:34,479 --> 00:16:39,104
The siege of their city
before she drove them out
279
00:16:39,187 --> 00:16:41,854
and built Xin'trea on its ruins.
280
00:16:41,937 --> 00:16:44,896
History is all around us, brother,
281
00:16:45,729 --> 00:16:48,396
reminding us how brilliant we once were,
282
00:16:48,479 --> 00:16:51,479
and how brilliant
we can be again if we try.
283
00:16:52,937 --> 00:16:55,979
I could be of use to you, you know.
284
00:16:56,062 --> 00:16:57,271
As an-- an adviser--
285
00:16:57,354 --> 00:17:00,021
The generals and mages
would eat you alive.
286
00:17:02,104 --> 00:17:05,771
But there is a role for you, sister,
in all of this.
287
00:17:05,854 --> 00:17:09,312
Now that your little indiscretion
with Fjall has been taken care of,
288
00:17:09,396 --> 00:17:11,187
it's time to look to the future.
289
00:17:11,271 --> 00:17:14,062
-I've found a worthy suitor for you.
-[sighs]
290
00:17:14,146 --> 00:17:16,146
The king of Pryshia is a widower.
291
00:17:16,646 --> 00:17:20,729
A marriage between our kingdoms
would make him amenable to signing.
292
00:17:20,812 --> 00:17:22,812
[dissonant ethereal music playing]
293
00:17:23,521 --> 00:17:24,896
Oh… [laughs softly]
294
00:17:25,979 --> 00:17:30,479
Of course.
Whatever… you need to achieve peace.
295
00:17:33,437 --> 00:17:36,437
A brighter future. Thanks to you.
296
00:17:37,062 --> 00:17:38,146
Hmm?
297
00:17:38,729 --> 00:17:41,229
Queen Merwyn of Pryshia.
298
00:17:41,312 --> 00:17:42,437
[Merwyn laughs softly]
299
00:17:46,312 --> 00:17:49,521
[dissonant music swells]
300
00:17:55,437 --> 00:17:56,812
[adventurous music playing]
301
00:17:56,896 --> 00:17:59,437
[mysterious elfyn]
Deep in the Valley of Lost Souls,
302
00:17:59,521 --> 00:18:02,854
a lone warrior sought answers
to the strange skies
303
00:18:02,937 --> 00:18:06,896
that had suddenly cast
their ominous shadow across the land.
304
00:18:08,604 --> 00:18:10,812
But her ancestors remained silent.
305
00:18:12,312 --> 00:18:14,604
Nothing like this
had ever happened before.
306
00:18:17,271 --> 00:18:21,646
For another had learned to tear
the veils between worlds.
307
00:18:21,729 --> 00:18:22,979
[clicking]
308
00:18:25,354 --> 00:18:26,687
[rumbling]
309
00:18:26,771 --> 00:18:28,604
[pulses of energy]
310
00:18:32,687 --> 00:18:34,687
[wind rushing]
311
00:18:46,271 --> 00:18:47,687
[echoing crash]
312
00:18:47,771 --> 00:18:49,062
I've returned.
313
00:18:51,062 --> 00:18:55,562
[female voice, echoing]
Defeated or victorious, Chief Sage Balor?
314
00:18:56,687 --> 00:18:58,812
My assassination attempt failed.
315
00:18:59,437 --> 00:19:00,771
I need your help.
316
00:19:06,229 --> 00:19:09,021
So tell me, how did you learn to fight?
317
00:19:12,062 --> 00:19:13,771
[Lark] I was born into Raven Clan.
318
00:19:14,271 --> 00:19:16,146
No! You were a protector?
319
00:19:16,229 --> 00:19:17,146
Indeed.
320
00:19:18,146 --> 00:19:21,771
Loyal bodyguard to King Midir
and the royal family of Pryshia.
321
00:19:21,854 --> 00:19:24,062
So you must know
Lady Cethlenn of the Knives.
322
00:19:24,812 --> 00:19:25,687
She's my mother.
323
00:19:25,771 --> 00:19:27,187
-What?
-[laughs]
324
00:19:27,271 --> 00:19:28,979
What are you doing here?
325
00:19:29,562 --> 00:19:33,104
You could be at the palace
with the kings and queens and heroes.
326
00:19:33,604 --> 00:19:35,104
I chose this path.
327
00:19:35,937 --> 00:19:37,354
[laughs softly]
328
00:19:37,437 --> 00:19:38,896
When I was a young girl,
329
00:19:39,771 --> 00:19:42,437
my sword master had
a key harp on her wall.
330
00:19:43,646 --> 00:19:44,937
I fell in love with it.
331
00:19:45,937 --> 00:19:49,646
My mother tried to save me,
but I was lost to the music.
332
00:19:50,396 --> 00:19:53,729
And so I became a roving bard.
333
00:19:55,312 --> 00:19:56,312
Here.
334
00:19:59,104 --> 00:20:00,104
[gasps]
335
00:20:02,812 --> 00:20:03,937
[plays gently]
336
00:20:04,604 --> 00:20:05,646
[laughs]
337
00:20:06,646 --> 00:20:07,896
[sighs]
338
00:20:11,771 --> 00:20:12,812
[sighs]
339
00:20:13,646 --> 00:20:15,979
I wish I had a calling
for something like that.
340
00:20:16,604 --> 00:20:19,896
All I have is a sickness.
341
00:20:19,979 --> 00:20:22,646
I have visions, fits,
342
00:20:23,271 --> 00:20:26,979
and the people in the town
are scared of me.
343
00:20:28,312 --> 00:20:30,937
The ignorant are always jealous
of anyone with gifts.
344
00:20:34,646 --> 00:20:36,187
-[banging at door]
-[elf 1] Open up!
345
00:20:36,271 --> 00:20:38,604
-Or we'll burn this hole to the ground.
-[Lark] Oh, shit.
346
00:20:38,687 --> 00:20:39,562
[elf 2] You in there?
347
00:20:39,646 --> 00:20:42,687
Why do assholes run to town guards
when they get their asses kicked?
348
00:20:47,937 --> 00:20:49,604
[guard] Singing, my ass!
349
00:20:51,854 --> 00:20:52,896
[sighs]
350
00:20:54,271 --> 00:20:55,729
[snoring]
351
00:21:01,062 --> 00:21:03,354
Dog Clan? What the fuck?
352
00:21:04,271 --> 00:21:05,354
Hey!
353
00:21:05,937 --> 00:21:09,021
Aah. One of Cethlenn's
scrawny little ravens.
354
00:21:09,104 --> 00:21:12,229
Better a scrawny raven
than one of Osfar's mangy bitches.
355
00:21:13,562 --> 00:21:14,771
Huh?
356
00:21:14,854 --> 00:21:17,604
Aye. Probably right there, Raven.
357
00:21:18,104 --> 00:21:19,854
-The name's--
-Fjall Stoneheart.
358
00:21:19,937 --> 00:21:21,104
Son of Osfar.
359
00:21:21,187 --> 00:21:22,562
I remember that pendant
360
00:21:22,646 --> 00:21:25,729
from when you took my cousin's eye
in the Battle of Brokilon.
361
00:21:25,812 --> 00:21:28,437
I swore to her I'd kill you

00:31:44,437 --> 00:31:45,896
[wind whistling]
538
00:31:48,812 --> 00:31:49,729
What the fuck?
539
00:31:52,104 --> 00:31:52,937
This mark.
540
00:31:56,021 --> 00:31:57,687
Xin'trean army. Fifth column.
541
00:32:04,396 --> 00:32:05,562
I know her.
542
00:32:05,646 --> 00:32:08,229
She's a cavalry captain
in the Pryshian army.
543
00:32:08,312 --> 00:32:09,937
A Darwenish infantry dagger.
544
00:32:12,604 --> 00:32:14,229
It makes no sense.
545
00:32:14,312 --> 00:32:16,729
Why are soldiers
from three kingdoms at war
546
00:32:16,812 --> 00:32:18,312
working together to kill us?
547
00:32:20,104 --> 00:32:21,062
The treaty.
548
00:32:22,146 --> 00:32:25,687
-Niamh came to tell me about a treaty.
-I know. I was sent for too.
549
00:32:27,187 --> 00:32:29,312
-Shit!
-Someone didn't want clan warriors there.
550
00:32:29,396 --> 00:32:32,062
It's the armies, they're finally
making a move against the monarchies.
551
00:32:32,146 --> 00:32:35,521
-I need to get to Xin'trea, warn my clan.
-So do I.
552
00:32:35,604 --> 00:32:36,979
Fuck your clan.
553
00:32:37,062 --> 00:32:40,312
Look, there are bound to be
more of these stabby fuckers on the way.
554
00:32:40,396 --> 00:32:42,104
We'll have more chance
if we stick together.
555
00:32:43,187 --> 00:32:45,104
Despite you being a pain in me hole.
556
00:32:49,812 --> 00:32:50,729
Fine.
557
00:32:50,812 --> 00:32:51,937
[under breath] Right.
558
00:32:53,146 --> 00:32:56,437
But cross me
and I'll feed your cock to the dogs.
559
00:32:59,062 --> 00:33:00,979
I don't fucking trust you, Stoneheart.
560
00:33:01,646 --> 00:33:02,479
Nor I you…
561
00:33:05,437 --> 00:33:06,271
Lark.
562
00:33:06,354 --> 00:33:07,729
They killed my sister.
563
00:33:07,812 --> 00:33:09,271
The Lark is dead.
564
00:33:11,812 --> 00:33:12,979
My name is Éile.
565
00:33:16,229 --> 00:33:19,687
[Éile] We'll meet again
in the halls of Caer Aenwyn, sister.
566
00:33:27,687 --> 00:33:30,646
[mysterious elfyn]
And so the Lark no longer soared alone.
567
00:33:31,312 --> 00:33:33,479
One had become two.
568
00:33:52,396 --> 00:33:53,354
[gasps]
569
00:33:57,229 --> 00:33:58,812
[delicate clicking]
570
00:33:58,896 --> 00:34:00,521
[whispers] Please.
571
00:34:00,604 --> 00:34:01,604
[elfyn] Princess?
572
00:34:02,187 --> 00:34:05,812
[Merwyn] Ket, I fixed it!
Solryth's eyes blaze once more.
573
00:34:05,896 --> 00:34:07,187
[Ket] We need to get you dressed.
574
00:34:07,271 --> 00:34:11,396
Don't you see? When all hope was lost,
they led her ships to this continent,
575
00:34:11,479 --> 00:34:13,562
and now they light our skies again.
576
00:34:13,646 --> 00:34:15,312
It's a sign, Ket.
577
00:34:15,396 --> 00:34:17,646
Maybe there's hope for me too.
578
00:34:18,521 --> 00:34:21,187
Your brother will have my guts
if I don't make you look presentable
579
00:34:21,271 --> 00:34:23,104
in time to meet your future husband.
580
00:34:24,729 --> 00:34:25,729
Yes, of course.
581
00:34:28,979 --> 00:34:31,604
[horns blasting]
582
00:34:32,937 --> 00:34:36,396
[mysterious elfyn] With highborn hostages
exchanged between the warring kingdoms,
583
00:34:36,479 --> 00:34:38,896
the other monarchs
had sailed to sign a treaty
584
00:34:38,979 --> 00:34:41,646
that would finally end
the Thousand-Year War.
585
00:34:42,812 --> 00:34:46,104
King Midir of Pryshia
and his Raven Clan warriors.
586
00:34:46,687 --> 00:34:50,771
Queen Neera of Darwen
and her Serpent Clan warriors.
587
00:34:51,687 --> 00:34:56,437
And Alvitir, the brave architect
of a new dawn for elfkind.
588
00:35:03,146 --> 00:35:04,896
I love you, brother.
589
00:35:21,271 --> 00:35:23,562
Warriors of Xin'trea.
590
00:35:25,187 --> 00:35:28,187
Thanks to the bravery of our royal guests,
591
00:35:29,187 --> 00:35:34,729
today shall see our long, dark night
of war and hunger end at last.
592
00:35:35,729 --> 00:35:40,396
A new dawn will rise upon the Continent
for all elfkind.
593
00:35:40,979 --> 00:35:45,021
Famine replaced by peace and prosperity.
594
00:35:46,062 --> 00:35:48,937
A united Continent once again.
595
00:35:49,021 --> 00:35:52,062
-A Continent of possibility.
-[murmuring]
596
00:35:53,312 --> 00:35:55,312
We are Xin'trean.
597
00:35:55,396 --> 00:35:57,062
We are Pryshian.
598
00:35:57,146 --> 00:35:58,646
We are Darwenish.
599
00:35:58,729 --> 00:35:59,604
[groans]
600
00:35:59,687 --> 00:36:01,479
-[Alvitir] But we will all be…
-Your Majesty?
601
00:36:01,562 --> 00:36:03,104
-Summon the physic.
-No.
602
00:36:03,187 --> 00:36:05,687
-It's just… nerves.
-[Alvitir] …one, as strong and…
603
00:36:05,771 --> 00:36:07,687
Perhaps I should retire to my chambers.
604
00:36:07,771 --> 00:36:11,562
[Alvitir] …day we first landed
on these shores and civilized this land.
605
00:36:12,687 --> 00:36:13,812
So I call upon…
606
00:36:15,521 --> 00:36:18,687
gracious Queen Neera of Darwen,
607
00:36:18,771 --> 00:36:20,104
[noble music playing]
608
00:36:20,187 --> 00:36:23,687
and good King Midir of Pryshia…
609
00:36:27,521 --> 00:36:33,104
to join with me
as allies in this new dawn.
610
00:36:36,062 --> 00:36:37,521
[echoing thud]
611
00:36:38,229 --> 00:36:39,437
[echoing crash]
612
00:36:41,896 --> 00:36:43,479
-[Ket gasps]
-[guard choking]
613
00:36:50,604 --> 00:36:52,354
-[crash]
-[snarling]
614
00:36:52,437 --> 00:36:53,604
[elf yells] What's that?
615
00:36:58,729 --> 00:37:00,604
Fire!
616
00:37:02,562 --> 00:37:03,854
[chittering]
617
00:37:06,896 --> 00:37:08,312
Free them!
618
00:37:08,396 --> 00:37:09,687
[screaming]
619
00:37:10,646 --> 00:37:12,646
-[growling]
-[machinery clanking]
620
00:37:14,562 --> 00:37:16,271
Go back the way we came!
621
00:37:16,354 --> 00:37:17,979
[screams]
622
00:37:23,521 --> 00:37:24,646
[screams]
623
00:37:27,979 --> 00:37:29,396
[screeching]
624
00:37:34,187 --> 00:37:38,062
[mysterious elfyn] In that moment,
the Elven world had changed forever.
625
00:37:38,146 --> 00:37:42,729
A thousand years of monarchies,
kingdoms, and clans were erased.
626
00:37:42,812 --> 00:37:43,896
It's done.
627
00:37:46,521 --> 00:37:47,479
Indeed.
628
00:37:48,312 --> 00:37:49,979
My beast has done well.
629
00:37:50,062 --> 00:37:52,104
The peace treaty had allowed Balor
630
00:37:52,187 --> 00:37:55,771
to turn war-hungry mages
and generals against their monarchies.
631
00:37:55,854 --> 00:37:58,271
It was just the beginning.
632
00:37:58,354 --> 00:37:59,396
Empress.
633
00:38:00,646 --> 00:38:02,437
The three kingdoms are yours.
634
00:38:05,104 --> 00:38:07,687
All hail the new Golden Empire.
635
00:38:08,271 --> 00:38:09,104
[Balor] Rise.
636
00:38:09,729 --> 00:38:11,312
We have much to do.
637
00:38:11,396 --> 00:38:13,396
[dramatic music playing]
638
00:38:15,062 --> 00:38:17,021
[Éile] This storm's unnatural.
639
00:38:17,104 --> 00:38:19,187
[Fjall] We're sailing
for safe harbor in Gaylth.
640
00:38:19,271 --> 00:38:21,729
[Éile] That's not even close to Xin'trea.
641
00:38:21,812 --> 00:38:24,729
[Fjall] We're no use to our clans
at the bottom of the ocean.
642
00:38:27,312 --> 00:38:28,812
[echoing scream]
643
00:38:28,896 --> 00:38:30,396
[snarling]
644
00:38:41,562 --> 00:38:43,646
[mysterious elfyn] Merwyn was free now.
645
00:38:43,729 --> 00:38:45,687
Free to write her own story.
646
00:38:46,187 --> 00:38:48,729
Just as her hero Solryth had.
647
00:38:48,812 --> 00:38:51,146
To start a new golden era.
648
00:38:52,229 --> 00:38:53,271
[gasps softly]
649
00:38:53,354 --> 00:38:55,687
This was her destiny.
650
00:38:56,396 --> 00:38:58,396
[elf shouts] Empress!
651
00:38:59,604 --> 00:39:01,604
[crowd cheering]
652
00:39:01,687 --> 00:39:03,687
[dramatic music playing]
653
00:39:05,146 --> 00:39:06,812
She plays her part well.
654
00:39:08,896 --> 00:39:11,229
A shiny thing to appease the masses.
655
00:39:11,896 --> 00:39:15,396
They all fall so eagerly into place,
despite their world turning on its head.
656
00:39:16,437 --> 00:39:19,729
Faced with chaos,
the people will always choose order.
657
00:39:19,812 --> 00:39:21,271
No matter the cost.
658
00:39:21,354 --> 00:39:23,312
Or how blatant the farce.
659
00:39:24,604 --> 00:39:26,229
How long do we need her?
660
00:39:26,312 --> 00:39:27,479
[Balor] We shall see.
661
00:39:28,354 --> 00:39:30,062
Take me down to my people.
662
00:39:30,146 --> 00:39:31,479
[armor rattles]
663
00:39:35,521 --> 00:39:36,521
[elf in crowd whistling]
664
00:39:36,604 --> 00:39:37,854
[gasps]
665
00:39:39,437 --> 00:39:41,437
[applause and cheering continue]
666
00:39:44,729 --> 00:39:46,937
[loud cheering]
667
00:39:48,479 --> 00:39:51,479
[dramatic music swells]
668
00:40:05,396 --> 00:40:07,479
[gulls calling]
669
00:40:07,562 --> 00:40:09,437
[bell ringing]
670
00:40:13,646 --> 00:40:16,354
[mysterious elfyn] The skies
and seas were not the only thing
671
00:40:16,437 --> 00:40:18,229
to have changed without warning.
672
00:40:19,021 --> 00:40:20,937
[Éile] What the fuck are those flags?
673
00:40:21,021 --> 00:40:24,771
-I've never seen that crest before.
-[Fjall] Not Pryshian. That's for sure.
674
00:40:27,021 --> 00:40:30,187
Let's head to this tavern. Get some locals
drunk, find out what's going on.
675
00:40:30,271 --> 00:40:31,896
With what coin, exactly?
676
00:40:32,854 --> 00:40:34,437
Too long on the clan teat.
677
00:40:34,937 --> 00:40:37,062
You need to cultivate
some initiative, boy.
678
00:40:37,562 --> 00:40:38,646
-Oof!
-Sorry.
679
00:40:38,729 --> 00:40:40,062
[laughter]
680
00:40:41,187 --> 00:40:42,854
-[thunder rumbles]
-[coins jingle]
681
00:40:45,979 --> 00:40:47,062
Come on, then!
682
00:40:47,146 --> 00:40:48,312
[thunder rumbling]
683
00:40:53,354 --> 00:40:54,854
Mmm. [smacks lips]
684
00:40:59,437 --> 00:41:00,896
[elfyn] At least she ended the war.
685
00:41:01,854 --> 00:41:04,604
Not many'd have the stomach
to kill your own kin.
686
00:41:04,687 --> 00:41:06,354
[elfyn] And her own brother, no less.
687
00:41:06,437 --> 00:41:09,396
-Calling herself Empress Merwyn now.
-Empress?
688
00:41:09,479 --> 00:41:11,521
Wiped out the lot of 'em in one go.
689
00:41:11,604 --> 00:41:14,521
Useless royal bastards
and their poxy clans.
690
00:41:15,271 --> 00:41:16,646
-She killed them all…
-[Fjall] No.
691
00:41:16,729 --> 00:41:18,354
That's impossible.
692
00:41:18,437 --> 00:41:20,646
[elf] How does one princess
no one's ever heard of
693
00:41:20,729 --> 00:41:24,271
manage to take the whole Continent
easy as piss like that?
694
00:41:24,354 --> 00:41:28,187
I heard she's got herself
a three-headed beast, the size of a ship.
695
00:41:28,687 --> 00:41:30,146
Sucks on her teat like a babe.
696
00:41:30,229 --> 00:41:31,521
-[laughter]
-[elf] Beast!
697
00:41:33,104 --> 00:41:34,187
[elfyn] A beast?
698
00:41:34,271 --> 00:41:35,812
Lay off the godhead pipe.
699
00:41:39,479 --> 00:41:40,479
Beast or no,
700
00:41:41,521 --> 00:41:44,729
no Xin'trean bitch is gonna tell me
I'm not Pryshian anymore.
701
00:41:47,604 --> 00:41:49,271
Yeah, you lot are worse.
702
00:41:50,146 --> 00:41:53,521
Paradin' around in your Pryshian armor
mere suns ago.
703
00:41:54,021 --> 00:41:57,771
Traitorous pissants,
dressed in that cunt's armor.
704
00:41:58,771 --> 00:42:01,229
Fuckin' slut's got you lot by the balls!
705
00:42:01,312 --> 00:42:02,562
-[crowd gasping]
-[groans]
706
00:42:07,812 --> 00:42:09,479
Anyone seen 'em?
707
00:42:10,062 --> 00:42:13,271
Éile of Raven Clan, Fjall of Dog Clan.
708
00:42:24,562 --> 00:42:26,604
-[grunts]
-We need to be smart about this.
709
00:42:27,104 --> 00:42:29,646
If you can't control your fire
because someone insulted your lover,
710
00:42:29,729 --> 00:42:30,771
we should part ways now.
711
00:42:30,854 --> 00:42:34,562
-This has nothing to do with her.
-This has everything to do with her.
712
00:42:36,396 --> 00:42:40,062
She killed our clans.
713
00:42:43,229 --> 00:42:44,479
[elf] One! Two!
714
00:42:44,562 --> 00:42:46,062
[elves groaning]
715
00:42:46,646 --> 00:42:47,979
One! Two!
716
00:42:48,062 --> 00:42:49,729
[all groan]
717
00:42:49,812 --> 00:42:51,062
-One…
-You!
718
00:42:51,146 --> 00:42:52,271
-Oof!
-[all groan]
719
00:42:52,354 --> 00:42:54,271
[Eredin] The largest we've excavated yet.
720
00:42:54,354 --> 00:42:56,979
[Balor] I need more power
to stabilize the gateways.
721
00:42:57,062 --> 00:43:00,896
-How many monoliths have you raised?
-Three in the north, two in the south.
722
00:43:01,396 --> 00:43:04,187
Another five excavated
being configured with Syndril's sigils.
723
00:43:04,271 --> 00:43:07,562
Not enough to power a gateway
for a legion. Why the delay?
724
00:43:08,146 --> 00:43:10,687
[elf] Have at you! Pull!
725
00:43:10,771 --> 00:43:11,646
The empire's young.
726
00:43:11,729 --> 00:43:13,479
[workers groan]
727
00:43:13,562 --> 00:43:15,479
Our troops are stretched thin.
728
00:43:15,562 --> 00:43:17,771
You absorbed the entire Darwen
and Pryshian army.
729
00:43:17,854 --> 00:43:19,646
How can you be stretched thin?
730
00:43:21,146 --> 00:43:23,354
There were more deserters
than anticipated.
731
00:43:25,062 --> 00:43:27,146
And since your purge of so many mages--
732
00:43:27,229 --> 00:43:28,687
Non-cooperative mages.
733
00:43:28,771 --> 00:43:31,896
Crop failures are worsening.
Bread riots are running rampant--
734
00:43:31,979 --> 00:43:32,979
Then quell them.
735
00:43:33,812 --> 00:43:36,062
Those that make excuses
don't make history.
736
00:43:36,146 --> 00:43:37,646
[elf] I said pull!
737
00:43:37,729 --> 00:43:38,937
Pull!
738
00:43:42,312 --> 00:43:44,146
[Balor] What of Fjall Stoneheart?
739
00:43:44,229 --> 00:43:46,354
[Eredin] He escaped our assassins
on Inis Dubh.
740
00:43:46,437 --> 00:43:49,104
-[crash echoing]
-Along with the Raven Clan warrior.
741
00:43:49,187 --> 00:43:52,271
But we have elite troops
scouring the Continent as we speak.
742
00:43:52,354 --> 00:43:54,896
[Balor] That's a heroic folktale
waiting to happen.
743
00:43:56,271 --> 00:43:58,021
End them. Now.
744
00:44:01,146 --> 00:44:03,146
[wind whistling]
745
00:44:05,604 --> 00:44:06,687
[Fjall sighs]
746
00:44:06,771 --> 00:44:08,229
[horse whinnies]
747
00:44:09,771 --> 00:44:12,604
Horses are secure. I'll take first watch.
748
00:44:13,354 --> 00:44:14,354
-[rubs hands]
-[coughs]
749
00:44:14,437 --> 00:44:16,187
Maybe some of them survived.
750
00:44:17,396 --> 00:44:18,479
[sighs]
751
00:44:19,104 --> 00:44:21,062
My clan would have fought to the death.
752
00:44:22,729 --> 00:44:23,896
So would yours.
753
00:44:24,729 --> 00:44:25,646
A monster.
754
00:44:27,021 --> 00:44:29,812
How can that even exist?
Where did it come from?
755
00:44:30,854 --> 00:44:32,562
There was a mage in Xin'trea.
756
00:44:33,396 --> 00:44:34,229
Syndril.
757
00:44:34,312 --> 00:44:36,896
He dug up and raised
an ancient Dwarven monolith.
758
00:44:38,604 --> 00:44:41,687
He used it to… open up
a gateway to another world.
759
00:44:41,771 --> 00:44:44,229
-The monster came from there?
-I mean, maybe.
760
00:44:45,729 --> 00:44:48,646
-I know it sounds insane.
-There are old stories of other worlds.
761
00:44:48,729 --> 00:44:50,312
And nothing's been right since.
762
00:44:50,396 --> 00:44:52,812
-Even the skies have changed.
-And the seas too.
763
00:44:53,521 --> 00:44:54,562
Everything's off.
764
00:44:54,646 --> 00:44:57,729
But even with the beast,
Merwyn had no power to pull this off.
765
00:44:59,021 --> 00:45:02,021
There has to be someone else behind this.
The generals, or the mages--
766
00:45:02,104 --> 00:45:03,854
-You're making excuses for her.
-No.
767
00:45:04,396 --> 00:45:08,146
If, now I mean if, she's Empress,
then she was involved.
768
00:45:09,312 --> 00:45:10,937
She'll pay with her blood
for what she did.
769
00:45:11,021 --> 00:45:12,896
I should have died with my clan.
770
00:45:14,937 --> 00:45:15,854
Me too.
771
00:45:18,771 --> 00:45:20,062
We're the last of us.
772
00:45:21,854 --> 00:45:24,312
They'll erase our clans from history.
773
00:45:24,396 --> 00:45:25,771
Not as long as we breathe.
774
00:45:26,271 --> 00:45:28,062
Then we end them before they end us.
775
00:45:28,146 --> 00:45:29,312
Raven Clan.
776
00:45:29,812 --> 00:45:30,979
Dog Clan.
777
00:45:31,562 --> 00:45:32,937
How can we trust each other?
778
00:45:35,562 --> 00:45:36,604
By the blade.
779
00:45:39,271 --> 00:45:40,979
[gentle bagpipe music playing]
780
00:45:43,812 --> 00:45:44,854
By the blade.
781
00:45:52,396 --> 00:45:53,646
[gasps]
782
00:45:57,229 --> 00:46:01,479
We find Merwyn, end her beast
and anyone who stands with her.
783
00:46:03,437 --> 00:46:04,646
[Fjall grunts]
784
00:46:06,396 --> 00:46:07,729
Send them all to clay.
785
00:46:09,396 --> 00:46:10,687
Blood sworn.
786
00:46:11,771 --> 00:46:12,646
To the end.
787
00:46:13,312 --> 00:46:14,229
To the end.
788
00:46:15,479 --> 00:46:17,687
[Ket] Your brother. How could you?
789
00:46:17,771 --> 00:46:20,687
[Merwyn] I'd no choice, Ket.
He'd written my life for me.
790
00:46:20,771 --> 00:46:22,437
I was destined for more.
791
00:46:22,521 --> 00:46:24,646
Old stories are bound to repeat.
792
00:46:24,729 --> 00:46:27,021
They just need
the right person to tell them.
793
00:46:27,604 --> 00:46:30,271
When Solryth died,
we turned on each other.
794
00:46:30,354 --> 00:46:35,229
A great golden era
destroyed by an endless cycle of war.
795
00:46:35,312 --> 00:46:38,062
And one my brother's treaty
would have paused, at best.
796
00:46:40,521 --> 00:46:45,396
Balor and Eredin
want to use Syndril's gateways
797
00:46:46,771 --> 00:46:47,896
to conquer.
798
00:46:48,396 --> 00:46:51,521
But conquest for conquest's sake
means nothing.
799
00:46:53,312 --> 00:46:55,687
I want to civilize these new worlds.
800
00:46:57,687 --> 00:47:01,854
Bring our art,
our science, and culture to them,
801
00:47:02,604 --> 00:47:05,604
and create a new golden era
for all of elfkind.
802
00:47:05,687 --> 00:47:06,604
You th--
803
00:47:07,437 --> 00:47:09,104
You think you're Solryth.
804
00:47:10,062 --> 00:47:11,104
No.
805
00:47:13,271 --> 00:47:14,104
Not yet.
806
00:47:15,979 --> 00:47:18,521
Not while I remain Balor's puppet.
807
00:47:20,771 --> 00:47:23,146
I need to become Empress
in more than just name.
808
00:47:23,771 --> 00:47:28,354
Or all of this,
every drop of blood spilled,
809
00:47:28,437 --> 00:47:29,771
will have been in vain.
810
00:47:31,437 --> 00:47:33,104
I just have to find a way.
811
00:47:34,271 --> 00:47:36,271
[breathing heavily]
812
00:47:42,729 --> 00:47:43,937
What have I done?
813
00:47:45,312 --> 00:47:47,479
[Balor] You've unlocked the future,
Syndril.
814
00:47:50,562 --> 00:47:53,437
Without your knowledge,
none of this would have been possible.
815
00:47:54,312 --> 00:47:57,646
Now the master monolith is raised,
who knows what worlds await?
816
00:47:58,729 --> 00:48:00,562
Ready your final calculations
817
00:48:00,646 --> 00:48:03,354
to connect the rest of the monoliths
across the empire.
818
00:48:07,229 --> 00:48:08,604
You should be proud.
819
00:48:09,771 --> 00:48:12,937
This new dawn of possibilities
is all thanks to you.
820
00:48:18,104 --> 00:48:19,187
[keys rattle]
821
00:48:19,271 --> 00:48:20,437

[tense music playing]
823
00:48:24,896 --> 00:48:27,437
[Fjall] I can't believe
they united the armies.
824
00:48:27,521 --> 00:48:29,812
The closer we get to Xin'trea,
the worse our odds.
825
00:48:29,896 --> 00:48:32,729
[Éile] Then we change the odds
with the best blade in the land.
826
00:48:33,312 --> 00:48:35,604
-[Fjall] Who?
-[Éile] My old sword master.
827
00:48:35,687 --> 00:48:37,312
If she doesn't kill me on sight.
828
00:48:37,396 --> 00:48:39,687
She was the one
who introduced me to music.
829
00:48:39,771 --> 00:48:42,812
When I left my clan to become a bard,
she was banished.
830
00:48:42,896 --> 00:48:44,646
Forced to become a sellsword.
831
00:48:46,354 --> 00:48:48,312
[Fjall] You're willing
to risk your throat?
832
00:48:48,396 --> 00:48:50,937
[Éile] We want vengeance? We need her.
833
00:48:51,854 --> 00:48:52,896
[horse snorting]
834
00:48:52,979 --> 00:48:54,354
She have a name, then?
835
00:48:55,979 --> 00:48:57,729
This sword mother of yours.
836
00:48:59,604 --> 00:49:00,521
Scían.
837
00:49:02,062 --> 00:49:03,687
Last of the Ghost Tribe.
838
00:49:04,187 --> 00:49:05,604
Ghost Tribe are a myth.
839
00:49:06,562 --> 00:49:07,562
No myth.
840
00:49:08,062 --> 00:49:10,687
Finest sword masters
to ever grace the Continent.
841
00:49:11,562 --> 00:49:13,187
Till you lot wiped them out.
842
00:49:13,271 --> 00:49:15,062
Before my time, then.
843
00:49:15,146 --> 00:49:17,146
When they refused to fight for him,
844
00:49:17,229 --> 00:49:19,479
your King Darach
poisoned their water supply.
845
00:49:19,979 --> 00:49:21,687
Scían was the only survivor.
846
00:49:22,396 --> 00:49:24,771
Our clan found her,
took her in as sword master…
847
00:49:24,854 --> 00:49:25,771
Éile.
848
00:49:29,062 --> 00:49:31,271
[elderly elf] Please. We mean you no harm.
849
00:49:31,354 --> 00:49:33,771
[Éile] What brings you so far
from the main roads?
850
00:49:33,854 --> 00:49:35,187
We fled Bon Machán.
851
00:49:35,271 --> 00:49:38,229
Our mages and elders
refused the new empire.
852
00:49:38,312 --> 00:49:40,104
Her soldiers burnt it to ash,
853
00:49:40,187 --> 00:49:42,896
stole our young
to dig up their black towers.
854
00:49:42,979 --> 00:49:44,104
To raise monoliths.
855
00:49:44,771 --> 00:49:46,896
Why are they raising them
outside Xin'trea?
856
00:49:55,104 --> 00:49:57,021
Are you the Lark?
857
00:49:59,812 --> 00:50:01,312
I don't go by that name anymore.
858
00:50:01,396 --> 00:50:04,104
I saw you last year at the Aedd Gynvael.
859
00:50:05,146 --> 00:50:06,562
You were brilliant.
860
00:50:07,354 --> 00:50:08,604
Those songs,
861
00:50:08,687 --> 00:50:10,062
so full of hope,
862
00:50:10,729 --> 00:50:11,896
made us feel special.
863
00:50:12,437 --> 00:50:14,021
Like the world was ours.
864
00:50:14,979 --> 00:50:17,104
Any chance you could sing
"The Black Rose"?
865
00:50:17,687 --> 00:50:19,146
We could use a bit of hope.

[mysterious elfyn] He had heard
that song far south in Xin'trea,
872
00:50:41,521 --> 00:50:43,062
hummed in doorways,
873
00:50:43,146 --> 00:50:47,062
sung in streets and taverns,
always amongst the lowborn.
874
00:50:47,562 --> 00:50:50,104
And now here in the far north.
875
00:50:50,187 --> 00:50:52,854
How could one song have this much power?
876
00:50:53,562 --> 00:50:56,646
[Éile] We're not far from her.
Tread lightly if you can.

And the one 30 paces back.

00:51:16,937 --> 00:51:19,021
She'll have to try
a lot harder than that to catch me--

00:51:29,562 --> 00:51:30,979
[Scían] The clans are gone.
889
00:51:32,229 --> 00:51:33,937
How are you still alive?
890
00:51:36,729 --> 00:51:38,312
[wind roaring]
891
00:51:39,312 --> 00:51:42,354
[female voice echoing]
I sense the echo of slaughter on you.
892
00:51:43,479 --> 00:51:46,271
The beast I gifted you
gave you what you wanted.
893
00:51:46,854 --> 00:51:47,771
It did.
894
00:51:48,812 --> 00:51:51,604
I've taken control
of the entire Continent.
895
00:51:52,187 --> 00:51:53,396
And yet?
896
00:51:53,937 --> 00:51:54,937
It's not enough.
897
00:51:55,604 --> 00:51:58,229
These people will never accept me
as their emperor.
898
00:52:00,646 --> 00:52:01,979
I'm lowborn.
899
00:52:02,062 --> 00:52:04,229
[whispers overlapping] Interesting…
900
00:52:05,146 --> 00:52:07,687
I need a power that only I can wield.
901
00:52:08,646 --> 00:52:12,021
One that raises me above
any highborn, royal, or army.
902
00:52:12,104 --> 00:52:14,437
You want to be a god amongst elves.
903
00:52:15,021 --> 00:52:16,021
Yes.
904
00:52:18,187 --> 00:52:21,396
I need… your Chaos magic.
905
00:52:22,729 --> 00:52:25,479
Are you willing
to sacrifice anything for it,
906
00:52:25,562 --> 00:52:27,021
no matter what the cost?
907
00:52:27,104 --> 00:52:28,062
Yes.
908
00:52:28,604 --> 00:52:30,229
Whatever you ask for,
909
00:52:30,896 --> 00:52:32,062
you shall have.
910
00:52:38,604 --> 00:52:41,021
Never thought
you'd darken this place again.
911
00:52:43,312 --> 00:52:45,104
Didn't mean to bring you dishonor.
912
00:52:45,854 --> 00:52:47,021
And yet you did.
913
00:52:49,521 --> 00:52:51,396
The new empress wants you dead.
914
00:52:51,479 --> 00:52:52,646
Why have you come?
915
00:52:54,646 --> 00:52:56,021
To ask for your help.
916
00:52:58,437 --> 00:52:59,479
Come with us.
917
00:53:00,479 --> 00:53:02,187
We're riding to Xin'trea to kill her.
918
00:53:02,271 --> 00:53:03,937
[scoffs]
919
00:53:04,896 --> 00:53:08,187
If not for me, then for your ancestors.
920
00:53:10,812 --> 00:53:12,896
Xin'trea stole your tribe's sacred blade.
921
00:53:14,437 --> 00:53:16,646
This is your chance to reclaim Soulreaver.
922
00:53:18,812 --> 00:53:20,479
Who knows where it is now?
923
00:53:21,521 --> 00:53:24,062
Your blade's with the other trophies
in the palace.
924
00:53:26,979 --> 00:53:30,229
Three green stones like that,
and markings on the pommel,
925
00:53:30,937 --> 00:53:32,062
something about…
926
00:53:33,521 --> 00:53:34,771
Black Sands.
927
00:53:35,354 --> 00:53:36,812
Born of Black Sands.
928
00:53:37,979 --> 00:53:39,854
Blade and soul as one.
929
00:53:40,562 --> 00:53:41,896
All beginnings.
930
00:53:43,062 --> 00:53:44,146
All ends.
931
00:53:47,937 --> 00:53:50,187
You'd never get past the city gates.
932
00:53:50,271 --> 00:53:53,646
If you even make it that far
travelling with the enemy.
933
00:54:01,187 --> 00:54:02,229
[Éile sighs]
934
00:54:09,812 --> 00:54:12,104

935
00:54:15,396 --> 00:54:16,521
Ah…

Knitbone.
938

It'll ease the burn.
939
00:54:31,187 --> 00:54:32,229
Éile.
940
00:54:32,771 --> 00:54:34,562
You can't trust her.
941
00:54:34,646 --> 00:54:36,479
She has an axe to grind with you.
942
00:54:36,562 --> 00:54:40,062
She's got contacts from sellswording
across the land. Contacts we may need.
943
00:54:40,146 --> 00:54:42,562
Contacts she'll use to sell you out
the first chance she gets.
944
00:54:43,229 --> 00:54:44,812
There's no one else left.
945
00:54:50,896 --> 00:54:52,229
Scían's all I've got.
946
00:54:52,771 --> 00:54:56,062
[somber music playing]
947
00:55:02,604 --> 00:55:04,646
[Scían] These changing skies
bode a darkness.
948
00:55:04,729 --> 00:55:06,604
[Éile] We have a chance
if we do it together.
949
00:55:06,687 --> 00:55:08,021
Your quest is hopeless.
950
00:55:08,854 --> 00:55:12,271
-I need you. We need you.
-You have your own path to take.
951
00:55:12,354 --> 00:55:14,687
[Fjall] I can get us past the gates
and into the palace.
952
00:55:15,396 --> 00:55:17,937
There's a secret passage into the city
that's unguarded.
953
00:55:20,187 --> 00:55:21,437
We could use your sword.
954
00:55:21,937 --> 00:55:23,521
No doubt you could.
955
00:55:24,271 --> 00:55:25,146
But…
956
00:55:26,146 --> 00:55:27,854
I won't be going with you.
957
00:55:29,687 --> 00:55:32,812
The only good thing
that's come of all this
958
00:55:32,896 --> 00:55:35,312
is that Dog Clan's gone for good.
959
00:55:36,187 --> 00:55:40,187
And may your father suffer eternity
in a lonely grave.
960
00:55:40,271 --> 00:55:42,854
My father should have finished
King Darach's work.
961
00:55:44,187 --> 00:55:46,104
Put you down with the rest of your tribe.
962
00:55:46,187 --> 00:55:48,687
I would have liked to see him try.
963
00:55:48,771 --> 00:55:51,687
Blindsided by a sweet little princess,
964
00:55:51,771 --> 00:55:55,104
not fit to hold
an axe of a clan chieftain.
965
00:55:56,396 --> 00:55:57,604
[yells]
966
00:55:57,687 --> 00:55:58,979
[grunts]
967
00:56:00,104 --> 00:56:02,812
-What are you doing?
-He's the one with an axe.
968
00:56:03,896 --> 00:56:06,146
Doesn't seem to know
how to use it, though.
969
00:56:06,229 --> 00:56:07,146
[roars]
970
00:56:09,229 --> 00:56:10,396
Scían, stop!
971
00:56:11,312 --> 00:56:12,646
[yelps and gasps]
972
00:56:13,812 --> 00:56:15,479
You've gotten rusty.
973
00:56:15,562 --> 00:56:16,479
[Éile] Have I?
974
00:56:22,229 --> 00:56:23,771
[spits and grunts]
975

[music fades]
979
00:56:48,604 --> 00:56:52,437
Your instincts are good,
but you let your emotions control you.
980
00:56:52,521 --> 00:56:56,312
And you, you have forgotten
how to work as part of a clan.
981
00:56:57,687 --> 00:57:00,021
You're not bad
when you're working together.
982
00:57:01,854 --> 00:57:03,271
We can work with that.
983
00:57:04,146 --> 00:57:05,646
So you're coming with us?
984
00:57:08,271 --> 00:57:09,771
The ancestors will it.
985
00:57:10,437 --> 00:57:12,437
[intense music resumes]
986
00:57:15,521 --> 00:57:17,229
[Fjall] Three against an empire.
987
00:57:17,312 --> 00:57:19,229
[Scían] Not enough. We need to find more.
988
00:57:19,312 --> 00:57:21,604
[Éile] Then we'll find others
who want to kill the bitch.
989
00:57:21,687 --> 00:57:23,521
There'll be no coming back.
990
00:57:23,604 --> 00:57:26,146
[mysterious elfyn]
And so two became three.
