I knew you'd come.

I told you I would.

I mean, I-I felt it.

I felt it before you came.

You're developing your powers, muriella.

Our time together is paying off.

Stop.

You have to leave.

Is that your wish?

Each time we meet
like this, I feel-

weak. I feel drained.

Perhaps that is what love does to a woman.

What do you know of love?

I know that poets claim
they would die for it.

- Would you die for it?
- Perhaps.

In a poem.

What would my father say?

There are many things in this world
your father doesn't know.

Let this be one of them.

Keep pulling, zeph.

Use your legs.

It doesn't want to come out.

It's those big ones
that are always the toughest.

See? Things worthwhile
don't come easy.

You missed.

I don't want to kill them-

as long as they don't
eat the crops.

Brought the hog.
Same deal as always?

Winter's corn for the pig?

Same deal. Deal never changes.

It's been a tough
dry season, hasn't it?

- I've seen rougher.
- King's recruiting.

Soldiers get taken care of
really well.

I have this land.
Isn't that enough?

You get older, you get tired
of just survivin'.

Wouldn't you like
to test your courage?

I mean, where's the courage
in just surviving?

Damn it, farmer, would it kill you
to just talk for a little while?

I mean, we're not animals. People
actually do converse with one another.

Norick, if I could talk these turnips
out of the ground, I would.

When the rains come,
this ground turns to Clay.

Not even you could talk 'em
out of the ground then.

That's what I love
about your old man, zeph.

He always knows
how to set a mood.

- Show norick where we stack his corn.
- Okay.

Here you go, zeph. Have a pig.

Guess you'll be staying for supper.

Well, since you asked.

So, have you named the pig yet, zeph?

- Uh, no. I was thinking about Tim.
- I called her wilhelmina.

Chicken again.

Some wine, norick?
It helps drown out the taste of the food.

- Oh, my gosh!
- Ah, thanks, zeph.

Norick, it is so good to see you.
You should come by more often.

Well, I figure farmer saw enough of me
when he was growing up.

Now that he's got a family of his own,
maybe he needs a little bit of a break.

Norick thinks father should quit farming
and join the king's army.

[ Gasps I - now hold on a second.
I didn't say that exactly.

I was just talking, you know?

Saying maybe there's an easier way
to put food on the table.

He says the king's soldiers
make a lot of money.

Only fools give
their lives to kings.

Only fools risk starving to death
just "cause the weather changes.

Farmer, you're not seriously
considering this, are you?

- You're my family. I'm not going anywhere.
- Thanks.

- That answer your question, norick?
- I was just talking.

- Just talking.
- Well, everyone's got a talent.

Just talking seems to be yours.

Just ratting on his friends
seems to be yours.

- Can I have some chicken, please?
- Don't give it to him.

Give me the chicken. Har, har, har.

You're overdoing it out there.

As long as there's food
in the ground.

We have enough.
We're set for winter.

Enough is when
the last root's been pulled.

Tell me something nice.

Tell me how you love me.

You know.

I only know what you tell me...

And you tell me nothing.

Look at these hands-
broken to feed us.

These hands speak louder
than words.

What is the cost of telling me?

What more could you want?

What every woman wants-

a little passion.

- A little passion?
- Mm-hmm.

Well, let me see what I can do.

How do you do that?

Everyone's good
at something, zeph.

What am I good at?

- You're a good son.
- That's easy.

Hey. No, it isn't.

Until you're a man,
being my son's your job.

- No one does it better than you.
- Zeph! It's time to go.

Why can't you come with us?

I have all those fields to clear.

Remember-
when men build lives from honest toil-

courage never fails.

That's right.

I hate sleeping without you.

Be safe.

It's stonebridge.
Of course we'll be safe.

Why do people call father farmer?

Doesn't he have a name?

Your father believes
that people become what they do...

And he's very good
at what he does.

What did they call him
before he was a farmer?

They used to call him boy.
Just boy.

Later he changed it?

Well, I'd say he outgrew boy,
wouldn't you?

Yes.

When he was little, he used to work
and help out around town.

Being an orphan,
all the other kids used to pick on him.

So he had to learn
how to protect himself.

Nobody calls him boy anymore.

Didn't his parents
give him a name?

They died before
they could name him.

Oh.

Norick brought him to stonebridge
when he was just little.

So norick is his father?

The whole town adopted him.

Different families took him
at different times.

But norick-
he always kept a special eye out.

I"m glad he has a family now.

I'm glad it's us.

Mmm!

Mmm. Soam I.

General.

Report to your king.

Your majesty, krug-

savage army. The krug-

they-they fight with swords.

This is ridiculous. It's as if you
were talking about armed dogs.

They fight like men.
They killed off our entire scouting party.

Had the general not ordered me to return
with word, I should be dead as well,

this is some sort of sorcery.

Get me my magus.

- Muriella.
- Father.

How beautiful you are.

Sit. Sit.

You look tired and hungry.

I have your favorite dinner
waiting for you.

Ah, I have no time
for that I'm afraid.

The world is changing
far too quickly.

You have to learn how to take
care of yourself. -

this kingdom consumes men
like a beast.

Hmm. I have no time
to take care of myself.

- Then let me take care of you.
- Ah.

What are you reading?

“The perils of magic.” ah, my old book.

There is so much in it
I don't understand.

- Yes.
- It speaks of things out there in the kingdom.

Father,
I'd like to see the kingdom.

I'd like to learn from it.

Yes, that was
your mother's wish.

And see where it got her.

She, the queen, the prince-
all killed.

That is not the fate
I had intended for you.

- [Man I merick! The king calls.
- Yes, yes. I'm coming.

It's heavy.

[Low rumble I

Grandma! Grandma!

Zzeph, is that you?

I've got you.

Finally! Into the oven with you.

I hate the oven.

It's dry, it's warm.

You don't want us to eat you raw,
now, do you?

Why do you have to eat me?

Tonight, I promised
your grandfather...

We're going to eat a dish
he really loves.

- So, how were sales at the market?
- It was good.

Of course, the men tried to take
advantage of me because I'm a woman...

So I make them pay more-
because I'm a woman.

When we were
kids you were always in charge.

Always the leader. - No, I just
knew what I wanted, that's all.

Until she met your father.

Your father does not take orders
very well from anybody.

- Where's grandfather?
- The bell tower.

- Shall we go?
- We have to be careful

the bell tower was made
for times of war.

You don't want to pull the wrong
rope and start a war, do you?

Is your grandmother trying
to scare you with her stories?

No, no. Zeph doesn't scare. He is brave
and strong, like his uncle. Right?

Hah!

What took you so long?

Hah! They don't scare easy.

- Aaah!
- Aaah!

This is crazy.

Krug are beasts.
They don't have armor and weapons.

I need to use
your horse, norick.

- Where are you going?
- Stonebridge. Solana and zeph are there.

- I'm coming with you.
- You"ll be safer here.

My house is on fire.

You can see that, can't you?

- Are you ready, milady?
- Always ready.

Hold.

Giving up so soon?

Your progress is
truly remarkable.

If only ehb had more soldiers
of your caliber.

Let me join your army and you shall.

I am not quite sure that the armies of ehb
are ready for women warriors.

Besides, what
would your father say?

My father never lets me do
anything I want.

Tarish!

Prepare your troops to ride.

Hordes of krug
are ransacking the land.

Oh, the sun
is blistering my skin.

What is this nonsense you speak?

Just do as you're commanded.

I listen only to the king.

It might behoove you...

To learn a little respect.

Respect is earned.

You are mistaken.
Respect is my birthright!

And you...

Take this thing off.

You look like a boy. Ugh.

Mostly.

Watch the wedding.

You ring the bell five times...

Signaling their marriage
for the village to hear.

You built this tower
just for people to get married?

I built this tower to signal attack
in times of war.

But we've been at peace so long, most don't
remember what the bells of war sound like.

Do you?

Let us hope that
we are never reminded.

- How went your sales?
- We did well.

We ask a fair price
for our surplus...

And not more than fair
and certainly not less.

Farmer didn't come?

No. My husband likes to leave
the trade to me so that he can farm.

You did well for a husband.

He loves you very much.

Yes. I believe he does.

- Congratulations!
- Hooray!

Bravo!

Go. Go now. Take zeph home now.

Take him!
You can protect him, father. Protect him.

[ Clanging continues j

To the village, everyone!

- Where's solana?
- She's-she's sounding the bell.

Don't worry, zeph.
I'll find her.

- Father!
- Bastian!

Take my sword.

- Get inside. And bolt the door.
- Come quickly.

- Thank you, father.
- Go.

Stand and fight!

We'll look for her in the village.

Let's go, men! Come on.

Well done.

A man with spirit, huh?

Let'em go.

You already killed me once today,
and yet, here we are again.

Father!

Run, zeph!

Look! They're retreating.

Zeph!

- They're going to higher ground!
- Zeph!

Don't let 'em get away!

I need a fourth marker
for solana.

Nobody saw solana. Nobody knows.

We didn't find her body.
She could have escaped.

He's right, farmer.

[ Horse whinnies I

what do you think, merick?

This is gallian's work.

Gallian is not that powerful.

It appears now he is.

Your majesty. News.
More krug attacks.

We must return
to the castle at once.

No. We'll go on to stonebridge.

We'll honor their dead.

It's the least
we can do for them.

But, your majesty,
we have krug attacking men.

The laws of nature
are failing us.

There isn't anything
natural about this.

Gallian! Where have you been?
I've been looking for you.

I've been busy.

[Door closes I

- very busy.
- We had an agreement.

I gave you access to my castle
so that we might work together.

And I'm keeping my end.

I'm sure recent events
demonstrate how very busy I've been.

Yes, indeed.
You have managed to stir things up a bit.

Stir things up?

Tell me, Duke.

What do you know of a man
they call farmer?

One would imagine that he farms.

Yes, I should think so.

But then maybe
he's something more.

I cannot wait any longer!

You must put
your little plan into action.

You must be patient.
Things are progressing according to plan.

People of stonebridge.

The armies of ehb
sympathize with you.

This great tragedy
will be avenged.

Where were the king's army
when the krug came killing?

Peasant, do not forget
to whom you speak.

In your world,
don't you bow before your king?

In my world, the king's army is
expected to protect the kingdom.

Not just the castle.

Our army could not anticipate
a sudden uprising of the beasts.

- We will defeat the krugs.
- How does that help us?

- Does it repair our houses?
- Will it bring back my dead child?

Alas, it will not.

What of those taken by the krug?

- Krug taking prisoners?
- Silence!

If these krug have
taken prisoners...

It is not yet clear
what their purpose might be.

The king's army will require
every man capable of combat

- who is with us?
- What will happen?

The king has his armies
and his walls.

Those taken by the krug
only have us.

- You dare defy your king's wishes?
- I'm with you, farmer.

- Guards!
- Let them go.

That is not the way of ehb.

You took a risk turning your
back on the king. - No more risk than you.

- I have no choice. She's my wife.
- She's my sister.

All right, let's get to it.

Stay here.
Go with the armies to fhb.

You wanted the life
of a soldier, didn't you?

Nah. I didn't like the uniforms.

- Do you have a horse?
- A mare.

She's old, but still strong.

Old... but still strong.

We have met before, have we not?

[ Footsteps approaching I

The magus's daughter
dinning alone. How sad.

Shouldn't you be off
marching with the legions?

The king in his infinite wisdom
has left the castle to my care.

- That's a large responsibility.
- A command here, a command there.

The castle takes care
of itself. Out.

Which leaves you and I
time to explore.

And what
would you have us explore?

Well, each other's charms
to begin with.

That might keep you busy
for quite some time.

Mm-hmm.

But it leaves me
with very little to do.

Why do you hate me so?

We are not so different
you and I.

We are both put aside.

The king keeps me out of his crucial
affairs. Your father keeps you out of his.

And so it is
that we find ourselves-

alone...

Together...
In this cold, dark castle.

- You're forgetting one key difference.
- Oh, enlighten me, mistress.

My father keeps me out of his affairs
because he loves me too much.

The king keeps you out of his
because he thinks you a fool.

There is a limit
to what I will tolerate.

A magus's role is to speak his mind.
And I am my father's daughter.

Someday I will be your father's king.

Virgins.

Pathetic.

Tell me something nice.

Tell me how you love me.

[ Farmer's voice I you know.

- I'm merick, the king's magus.
- I've heard of you.

Children's stories about magic.

Your king needs you.

Yeah, well, my son needed me.

I failed him.
Now my wife needs me, if she lives.

Does it occur to you, farmer...

That there may be events
of greater importance...

Than the loves and losses
of our particular lives?

No. Doesn't occur to me.

Try to stay alive, farmer.

Your king needs you.

Far more than he understands.

We need two more pails of water.

- Ready?
- Ready.

- Let's go.
- Sharla.

My house is full
of food and supplies.

Make sure that
those who need it can get it.

I cannot accompany you
on this journey, your majesty.

You are needed.

Combat is tarish's jurisdiction.

Yes, and beasts fighting
like men is sorcery.

I'd say that falls
under your jurisdiction.

There are things that I have to do
before I return to castle ehb.

Things of great importance.

Of more importance
than serving your king?

I think you will find his majesty
will trust my judgment in this.

My friend.

Seems to be madness
all around us.

Not madness.

Darkness.

What's wrong?

I've been worrying.

Like you, I sense that
all is not well in the castle.

I'm here now
because I worried for your safety.

I'm safe.

My father worries for my safety.

As does my king.

You do have a way.

I must not give myself over
to selfish pleasures.

Give yourself over to me.
Comfort me.

If you won't allow yourself pleasure,
comfort me.

It should be just over here on the left.

How did you know about this bridge?

As a child, I roamed around these parts.
It's how I spent my days.

You were a strange child.

If we wind through the gorge, we'll
lose a day. - What are you thinking?

We can cross it

let's take the gear
off the horses.

What, do you mean
we're leaving 'em, just like that?

Are you afraid we're gonna
hurt their feelings?

- Go home! Hah!
- Hah!

- Hah!
- Get out of here.

Let's do it.

- All right, I'll go.
- You're a brave old guy.

I just don't want you weakening the rope
before I've had my turn.

- Come on!
- All right, let's go. Come on.

You were more concerned
about your horse.

My horse I like.
It's you I'm not so sure about.

Well, wait till
you get to know me better.

Let me have some of that rope.

Pull!

That saved us a lot of time.

Oh!

- Your majesty.
- Get on your feet, soldier.

How many men on guard here?

I am on guard, my king.

Hmm. You are on guard?

Duke fallow, you're
very, very naughty. -

you make my bosoms tickle.

I'm gonna tell your mommy.

Where are you going?

My nephew amuses himself
on the king's throne.

Do you feel it suits you?

You play while your king
and his legions...

Are off on a military campaign...

And your only job...

Is the safety of this castle-

which is guarded by... no one!

Your majesty...

Was off investigating
outlandish claims. Aah'

- get him out of my sight.
- No!

Go on, before I make you.

Why did the gods fail me?

Why?

Unhand me.
You are not fit to kiss my gown.

And you-you are not fit
to tarnish your uncle's crown.

Ah, ah, ah, ah.

Unless the king specifically orders it...

You cannot touch me.

Imperial law...

Is a toy...

I shall never tire of.

- Things are progressing according to plan.
- I cannot wait any longer!

I cannot stand the suffering rule
of that senile goat.

Make it happen.

You wish to accelerate things? Fine!

We shall accelerate.

Good.

- Sleep well, milady.
- I'll try.

Permission to speak freely,
milady?

Of course.

Worrying will age a woman
before her years.

You might try
to enjoy the life you have.

Don't you sometimes long
for something more?

If it prevents me from loving what I have,
what would be the purpose?

- Good night.
- Good night.

Gallian.

Must you always appear
suddenly from nowhere?

I don't.

I appear so suddenly
from somewhere.

You assume too much
entering my chambers unbidden.

I'm not welcome to the hospitality
you've offered in the past?

You're not welcome
to come and go as you please...

And then vanish without a word.

I'm not your harlot.

How could you think
such a thing?

You know very well
why I must appear so quietly.

I can't very well be pounding
on milady's door, now, can I?

How do you come and go
as you please...

When you're considered by my father
to be an enemy of the king?

I have friends.
I wield influence.

Why does my father
despise you so?

He's not known
for his hasty opinions.

Questions!
I did not come here to be interrogated.

Your father hates me
because I will not bow and scrape...

Before the almighty king
and his magus.

Because I will take from him
what I please-

even his daughter's virtue.

Begone from my chambers.

Begone from my life.

Are you banishing me as well?

And after all the work
we've done.

Haven't I helped you
discover your power, your vision?

You've introduced me to parlor
tricks and nightmares. - Be still.

Help! Please. Please.

- I'm tired.
- We have to stop.

Rest

no time to rest, norick.

Damn it, farmer. We'll make better time
in the daylight if we rest.

Solana may still live.
How do you expect me to rest?

We're not gonna make it if we don't rest.
We won't have the strength.

What about you, bastian?
Giving up as well?

I'm tired.

I just lost my parents. I lost my nephew.
I may have lost my sister.

I'm just tired.

Fella can't think straight
if he doesn't rest

pick up some wood.
We'll make a fire.

- Rest.
- Now you're thinking straight.

Did you sleep at all?

I close my eyes,
I see my son dead.

Well, you should have slept.

We need to keep moving, norick.

Hey!

Get up. You'll miss breakfast.

My liege.

Again allow me to offer
my deepest apologies...

For mistaking your orders.

A mistake?

- Is that what it was?
- Yes.

Hmm.

May I sit, your majesty?

Boy!

I know-go.

I know I have failed your trust
on several occasions...

And perhaps I may be
a disappointment to you...

And the entire kingdom,
but I will change.

I will shed this youthful folly
in this time of great battle...

And I will prove myself
a worthy heir.

Eat.

You show a knack, my nephew...

For well-timed diplomacy.

I guess that's something.

May I offer a toast?

Possibly.

Drinking wine in the morning
is not a good way...

To show... reform.

Indeed.

Yes, indeed.

Long live the king.

Yes.

The krug last attacked
stonebridge, in the south.

Yes, and this harsh terrain...

Will drive them north,
around the marsh.

Then we should attack.

That is, if the krug behave
the way they're supposed to behave.

Sacrilege!

This is madness, gallian.
You go too far.

[ Groaning, screaming j

may the gods save us.

I don't like this, farmer.

Nobody goes into Sedgwick forest

the forest passes
between the mountains.

We'll come out at slate pass
as the krugs arrive.

There's more than brush
and trees in Sedgwick forest.

You don't just cut through it
when you please.

You don't wanna
be stuck here at night

- we'll light torches.
- Torches attract eyes.

- Let 'em look.
- Farmer!

You know what people say.
There are... things in Sedgwick forest.

People say god
watches over the innocent.

People say a lot of things
that won't help us now, norick.

Come on.
We've got a lot of ground to cover.

I don't see any path.

- There is no path.
- So how do we know where we're going?

Wait.

Whoa!

Oh!

You were right, norick.

Is this part of the plan, farmer?

- Let us down.
- When I'm ready.

Get out of our forest
you have no business here.

We hate your weapons
and your killing.

- We're passing through, that's all.
- Then pass through...

And never come back.

We're, uh-we're lost.

Men-not only useless,
but helpless as well.

Your majesty.

I beg of you news of my father.

- Your father has gone on an errand for his king.
- Please-

what's happening?
I worry that he's in grave danger.

The king's magus
has many responsibilities.

What he does not need
is a daughter...

Who's troubling herself
with the affairs of men.

My father thinks that keeping me locked in
this castle will ease my mind.

He's wrong. I know the mood of this court.
It's never been more troubled.

Darkness threatens...

Our empire.

Darkness that's spawned
by magic.

Come on! Hey.

Your father seeks reason...

- And remedy.
- Your majesty? Your majesty?

Your father... your majesty!

Gallian! I feel like I'm dying.

Did you dine well with the king?

What have you done?

I thought you were in a hurry
to accelerate things.

I suppose I may have tampered
with the king's food.

You've poisoned me.
You've killed me.

Don't be so melodramatic.

It's nothing
that can't be fixed.

Please.

Please!

Let us hope you remember
who has the real power here.

Yes.

I'd say I've saved your life.

Now what shall you do for me?

The king has been poisoned.

Can he be saved?

Perhaps, if it's not too late.

On my soul.

A word in private.

Fallow has fled the castle...

And he's taken
two full legions with him.

Well, that tells us
who poisoned the king.

Prepare to move to the north,
where we shall meet our new allies.

The strength
of our combined armjes...

Shall allow for generations
of peace and tranquillity.

I detect the hand
of gallian in this.

Why has commander tarish
not briefed us for this mission?

Anyone else care
to commit treason?

- How much of the army remains?
- A third.

Hmm.

Well, I have seen
the krug massing.

Gallian is raising armies-

- vast armies.
- How?

How is that possible-that a single man
can cause so much devastation?

My own daughter betraying me
to my sworn enemy.

Do you hate me that much?

I thought that I loved him.

He is a master of manipulation.

He bends emotion for sport.
Have you learned nothing?

You keep me here
like some kind of rare orchid.

You teach me nothing
of the world.

Muriella, the world is a treacherous place.
You were meant to be safe here.

He made me feel
as if I had importance.

Oh, god.

He spoke of things I might do
and things that I might learn.

You have no idea how much I hungered for
that. - He has used you to destroy me.

He has tapped
into our bloodline.

You have tilted
the balance of magic in his favor.

Thanks to you,
the kingdom may be lost.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

Why do you hate outsiders?

You hate each other.
Why shouldn't we hate you too?

We stay in the forest to avoid your wars
and your contests...

And your mindless enterprise.

And yet, here you are,
shooting your arrows into our trees.

Harm is but a way of life
for your people.

The fact that you don't realize it
is what makes you so dangerous.

This is as far as I will take you.

Good luck

so do you have a plan?

Are you awake?

Yes, I'm awake.

You'll find it's not so easy
to kill a king.

We will attack.

But, your majesty,
you have been poisoned.

- Perhaps you haven't your bearings.
- I have my bearings, commander.

And I have my wits.

The krugs do not expect us to attack,
so that's exactly what we will do.

Who poisoned me?

I believe it was
your nephew, Duke fallow.

Oh.

And there's worse.

He has abandoned the castle...

Taken the guard
and the 11th and 12th legions.

We will attack.

First light. Summon your troops.

How much time do I have?

Your life is coming
to a close...

But there is time enough.

Do not underestimate
the strength of kings.

They are not to be judged
by the standards of ordinary men.

Besides, if gallian
wishes to harm the king...

Then he will be safer with us in battle
than here in this castle.

Well, surely not even gallian
can infiltrate this castle.

Perhaps we should find out
for ourselves.

He's already here.

You sure about this, norick?

Not at all.

Shh!

She's here, norick.

- I can feel it.
- I think you're right.

Hey, hey! Easy.

Solana?

Solana!

You have gone too far.

There is a price to be paid
for meddling with kings.

Too far?

My dear friend, you have no idea
how far I've gone.

I do not know how you have
accumulated so much power.

But I intend to get it back.

There are some things
you can't take back.

Things you can't undo.

Can you stand
losing the upper hand, merick?

Can you stand
not being the king's magus?

- I am the king's magus.
- For now.

I am the king's magus.
And you serve a discredited Duke.

But who will be king
should konreid die?

It's the start
of a new age, merick.

I suggest you adjust.

Today...

We ride for our king.

You ride today,
in the name of your king.

Duke fallow...

Has betrayed our majesty...

In a craven act and of sabotage.

In our absence, commander tarish has
poisoned and murdered my beloved uncle...

Your beloved king.

He's taken castle ehb
with his military might.

This act of treason
shall be avenged.

He has joined forces
with our enemies...

In a campaign to overthrow
this king's rule.

But kings are not
so easily supplanted.

We shall fight side by side
with our allies from the north...

And with superior numbers...

Tarish and his army of ruffians
shall be destroyed.

Now we are outnumbered,
and we are without the benefit of fortress.

But we do have more in our favor
than just our courage and our loyalty.

We fight for our king!

And our king proudly fights...

In the name of ehb!

Your majesty.

Fight today,
in the name of your king.

Fight for me.

And blessed be those
that die under my command.

Rise!

God blesses those
who die for honor and truth!

I'm curious about you, farmer.

I sense danger in you.

If his majesty is fatigued...

Perhaps he may care to retire
to his tent in the rear.

I'm fine, commander.

I will not let these men die
because an old man...

Is so fatigued
that he has to lie down.

Of course, your majesty.

No one doubts your resolution.

But all the men know
that you've been poisoned.

Perhaps it would be a good idea
to rest for a while.

I will not rest
until my nephew is captured.

I can't read you.

I can read most men,
like reading scrolls of flesh.

But you-you, I can't see
past your scowl.

Why is that?

Who are you?

Some riddles
aren't worth solving.

[ Moans I

you are here.

I thought it a nightmare.

Where is farmer?

Where is zeph?

Bastian, where is zeph?
Is he with our parents?

Yes.

He's with them, but...

He didn't make it.

He... was killed with them
the day you were taken.

I'm sorry.

My baby.

Did he die quickly?

Tell me.

Yes.

He died quickly.

Farmer will come.

He'll find you.

How do you know?

Because he must

because he needs you.

At the end of the day,
you're all he really needs.

[Hoofbeats I

don't die on me now, farmer.

Much for you to do.

Not looking too good, are you?

Ah. There.

Try a bit of this.

- What's it like?
- What is it?

That's medicine. Come on.

[ Woman moans I

No!

It's good to be home.

I am not your harlot.

He has used you to destroy-

I know that poets claim-

he bends emotion for sport.
Have you learned nothing?

[ Gallian I haven't I helped you
discover your power, your vision?

Milady?

I am my father's undoing.

I've jeopardized everything.

But your father has
nothing but love for you.

My girlish stupidity
has damaged him.

Taking your life
would damage him further.

Perhaps you're right.

I would like my father
to be proud of me.

He already is.

He's proud of an idea of me.

I'm going to make him proud
of the woman.

Prepare to meet your new allies.

These are krug.

Obedient, relentless and unquestioning.

What you see before you
is a powerful army.

[ Horse whinnies I

Take this man.

Put him in the king's tent.

See that my horse is well fed.

Hold.

So was this your urgent errand?

This is the farmer...
From stonebridge.

Tis.

Now why does a disloyal dirt-lover
from stonebridge...

Command such careful attention
from the king's magus?

Because the king has a special interest
in this... dirt-lover.

I know nothing of this interest.

Neither does the king.

How long did I sleep?

Just long enough.

I feel better.

Much better.

Well, I am the king's magus.
One would assume I have certain skills.

I thought it was about time that you two
were properly introduced.

We've met.

But the last time,
he turned his back on me.

Turned to what needed doing.

I thought your majesty
would be interested in this farmer.

He's been through a great deal
since we met him in stonebridge.

So has everyone else.

What makes him so special?

Because, your majesty...

He is your son.

One for you...

And one for you.

What is it you want?
Can you not see I am busy?

On the Eve of battle, I think it is
appropriate to discuss strategy.

I hate it when you talk
through those creatures.

Are you ready
to rule ehb, my Duke?

Are you thirsty enough
to drink such power?

Yes, I have dreamed
so long about...

Ruling ehb through that throne.

Tomorrow you will burn
castle ehb.

- What do you mean?
- Burn it to the ground!

I will not rule ehb
from cinders.

Ehb will be ruled from the north.
From christwind hold.

A magus is not
to tell a king what to do.

You forget
who's handing you the kingdom?

Burning castle ehb
is my condition.

Hmm. Very well then.

Burn it I will.

It's a very good idea.

Can I return...

To my whores?

Go away, creature.

Farmer has a friend-norick.

Norick tended
the queen's horses.

I recognized him
when we were in stonebridge.

After the massacre
at oxley pass, this norick...

Found a boy about three years of age
wandering in the battlefield.

There was only one boy
at oxley pass.

What do you think
of this tale, farmer?

One old man thinks
he recognizes another from 30 years ago.

That's how you determine who's king?

You are the king's son,
and heir to the throne.

I have no father-

no parents.

I have no business here.

Are you telling me that
that arrogant bastard is my son?

He spent the last 30 years...

Living over a stonebridge farm?

It would appear so.

It would appear so.
You told me he was dead”

you said they were all dead!

What kind of joke...

Do the gods play on me?

Sometimes the gods
know what is best for us.

What the hell does that mean?

You remember the chaos
we were in? Hmm?

War everywhere.
Surrounded by enemies.

If that child had been
taken back to castle ehb...

How long would he have survived?

Growing up in stonebridge...

He grew up strong...

And far away from the enemies...

Who would have jumped
at any opportunity...

To rid you of your son and heir.

Dear friend...

You better be right about him.

You better be sure.

The king needs every able man
he can get for this battle.

That's not my problem. - His kingdom is
threatened. Your kingdom is threatened.

I don't know this king.

Solana's my family.

Norick and bastian.
They are my family.

And where will you live?

Hmm?

When the kingdom falls
to gallian...

What future will you
be able to offer your wife?

Think about it.

Fallow, you have
committed treason.

We offer no quarter here.

And anyone who follows
under your command...

Will likewise be
considered as a defector.

We will spare no traitor.

Gentlemen...

Commander tarish
has poisoned the king...

And accuses me of treason.

Hah!

Your ambition
has no limits, tarish.

The kingdom of ehb
is now subject to my rule.

We, as well, offer no quarters.

You will never
be king, my nephew...

Because you have no valor-

not now, not ever.

The 11th and 12th legions
are with you, your majesty.

You coward!

These krug have no archers,
but they also have no fear.

Be clear-
they will attack our lines.

As these krug will never retreat,
they will be vulnerable...

To a secondary attack
from behind

but we are men...

And we serve a noble kingdom.

They are beasts, with bloodlust.
Nothing more.

Duke fallow
and his guard are men.

All you men, you hear this...

Duke fallow is mine.

The farmer.

So, have you come
to do your duty?

Well?

I've decided to fight.

My men say you fought
very well in stonebridge.

I'll be proud to have you fight by my side
so that I might keep an eye on you.

They certainly look ferocious.

Mid guard.

[ Horse whinnies I

Commander.

Lead out.

Archers.

Fire!

Fire!

[Horse blusters I - it's okay.

[ Horse blusters I

[ hoofbeats approaching I

hyah.

General, take your flank.

Men, move out.

They fight like dogs.

Yes, sire.

Whoa!

Let's go.

Ready.

Fire!

Fire!

These krug fight mindlessly.

Their minds belong to those.

If you win the day,
it means nothing.

We will win more than a day!

You have killed these.

I will simply beckon more.

- We ride east.
- So we are abandoning the campaign?

No. We regroup the campaign.

Christwind. Is this
where we pay for our sins?

No, norick.

This is where we pay
for our virtues.

Sins are more than welcome here.

Whoa.

The king.

Hold still, good uncle.

Fire!

Guards! Guards!

Quickly.

Get the king off the field.

Come on.

Farewell, good uncle.

Ride.

You have won nothing but time.

Is this a dream?

- What is your name?
- Tawlyn.

Tawlyn, one day soon
all this will be over.

I won't live like them.

We're already like them.
We're slaves.

- I won't live like a slave.
- Norick, be still.

Why are we entering Sedgwick forest, sire?

We shall cut through
the forest to castle ehb.

With no armies and no guard,
the castle is ours for the taking.

The Duke will assume control
of the castle?

Tonight, castle ehb shall burn.

Whoa.

Let's get out of this place.

Ho. Ho, ho, ho. Ho. Oh, ho, ho.

Lookee here.
A friend of the family.

How delightful.

Alone in the forest
does not make you feel vulnerable?

- Keep your distance.
- You never did trust me, did you, muriella?

Your comportment
has never earned trust.

Comportment? Decorum?

Those are words for a castle.

We-we are no longer in a castle.

There are no rules here.

No.

Hyah. Hyah. Hyah.

Whoa.

Hyah. Hyah, hyah!

A special gift for you.

Thank you.

There are rules everywhere,
my Duke.

Your talent for breaking them
has failed you at last.

I'm taking this one with me.

Run. Solana, go. Go!

I'll find you! Go!

Where are we going?

Norick! Norick!

What you always wanted-

a courageous death.

Ah, you were a brave old guy.

Solana? Tawlyn?

[Bastian I solana?

Bastian?

Solana?

- Oh!
- Come on!

Stay back.

Stay back.

Get off me!

No. I'm good.

You fought well today.

Slaying beasts...

- Can be a cruel courage.
- Yes.

Whatever presents itself...

- You'll do it.
- I'm used to hard work.

Well, that'll come in handy...

When you're king.

How do you suppose
it is that you...

Fought so well today?

I mean, was it...

Luck?

You have qualities, you know.

Leadership. And, of course...

You speak your mind.

This will serve you well.

Wisdom is our hammer.

Prudence will be our nail

when men build...

Lives... from honest toil-

courage never fails.

Where did you hear that?

I told it to my son...

Every night...

When he was a little boy.

And no one else.

Things are gonna be
a lot harder for you from now on.

- I'm a simple farmer.
- Yes, yes.

- It's all I know.
- You know, there's that little village...

Not too far from here.

They raise two crops a year.

- That would kill the soil.
- No.

It does not kill the soil
because of the seaweed.

You see, the seaweed
comes in from the ocean...

And enriches the soil

you should try that.

How do you know these things?

Because I am king.

Because I'm expected to know...

About the land.

Just as you will be.

As long as there are kings...

As long as there is land...

They will fight over it.

Battles fought for barren lands.

What good are these wars
if they never end?

And they fought for peace.

Peace-that's a dream.

A dream that maybe you...

As king...

Can bring peace forever.

You don't understand.

These battles
have robbed me of my child.

You forget
they robbed me of mine.

My son.

General hallette.

Yes, sir.

Take a scout to the north side
of the woods.

- We should know what's waiting for us.
- Aye, sir.

- Commander.
- Aye?

Look.

Well now this...

Is a surprising delivery.

Duke fallow's here
to meet justice.

His men?

They've already met justice.

It will be your pleasure.

Yes.

It will.

I assume the king lives.

General backler..

Give this man your sword.

No armor.

A duel

how lovely.

You remember what I did to you as boys,
don't you, tarish?

Can I at least
have a lick of wine?

Will no man help his king
with his armor?

Pigs.

This duel-
it will be your last, fallow.

I should kill you.

I should kill you.

The king is dead!
The king is dead! King konreid has died!

No. No, this cannot be.

I am your king.

- No, you are a curse to the throne!
- Commander tarish...

Is bound by honor.

He'll never kill
the new king of ehb.

Coward.

My subjects of ehb!

Long live the king!

Hip, hip, huzzah!

Hip, hip, huzzah.

Put it away.

Citizens of ehb.

Soldiers of ehb.

A few moments ago...

Our beloved king konreid passed away.

Murdered.

Murdered by his nephew...

Who sought to take his place.

By the laws of our land...

The king's successor
must be related to him by blood.

I give you your new king...

The lost son of konreid...

Camden konreid...

Known to some of you as farmer.

- Long live the king.
- Long live the king.

Stand.

On your feet, please. Stand up.

The king called upon you
to face death.

Those still standing have
cheated death of its prize.

But our enemy still lives.

He'll rebuild his forces
and launch a renewed assault

tonight we dress our wounds...

Bury our dead.

Tomorrow we march
on christwind hold.

- Gouge evil from its shell.
- Gouge evil from its shell!

God save the king!

What? What do you want?
Take them away!

Take them with the others!

Wait.

Bring her over here.

Begone.

I sense him...

In you.

The farmer.

He'll come for you.
This is perfect.

- And I will be expecting him.
- I'm nothing to you.

Yes, but he is something to me.

More than a farmer.

Much more dangerous to me
than a farmer.

Now he'll come to me.

How do you know me?

How?

Don't move.

Don't move.

I feel him...

In you.

Because you're carrying...

His son.

You're carrying his son.

Where you from?

Gloucern.
They took me from my home.

We'll get you back home.

There's nothing there now.
They destroyed everything.

No. Gloucern
will rebuild itself.

Just as stonebridge
will repair itself.

We'll die here.

What about your parents?

Both dead.

You know, I lost
my parents just like you.

We'll take care of each other.

Good-bye, old friend.

How do you fight an army that large?

Where the broadsword fails,
the dagger may succeed.

No time for riddles, magus.

A small force might slip through
the krug lines...

And solve the problem
at its source.

Get me to this gallian...

And I'll kill him.

Sir, with respect...

Are we making plans to save one woman
when there is an entire kingdom at risk?

If the king is to save his wife,
he must kill gallian.

If he kills gallian,
the kingdom is saved.

Muriella.

Now is the time.

Your majesty.

I wish to join your mission.
I wish to be of service.

Yes. Well, you've made your point.
Now go back to the castle.

That life made a fool of me. I'm in this
world now, and I intend to remain in it.

You are my daughter.
Do as you're told.

I am my father's daughter...

And I will serve the king
just as he does.

You brought the king's murderer.

He fell into my hands.

A man needs all the help
he can get, magus.

I accept your offer.

- There are others who wish to help.
- Others? Which others?

Let me show you.

Whoa.

- Hold.
- Whoa.

- You've managed to stay alive.
- I've stayed away.

Those who you fight,
those who control the krug-

we will help you fight them.

Thought you didn't involve yourself
in the conflicts of men.

This war isn't going away.
We can see that.

And when our forest
is burned and invaded...

We have no other choice.

We will fight with you,
and then we wish to be left alone.

General backler, get your men ready.
We ride at once.

General? - The approaching
krug outnumber us 20 to one.

They will bear down on us
like a wave of death.

Now you listen to me.

No one bears down
on the armies of ehb.

We let these krug claw and scratch
their way to ahbrahan cause tonight...

We fight for our legacy.

Now you tell me-

how do you want
to be remembered, general?

Here we must
leave the horses and climb.

People get up there?

No, they don't.
That's the point.

You people spend your lives
on flat ground.

There are entire worlds
just waiting to be scaled.

Philosophy from a woman
who lives on a tree.

Christwind.

- Built as a secure haven for magi.
- How secure?

Hmm. Well, the doors
open from within.

You can get in?

A magus does not need doorways to
enter christwind. - I'll find a way.

Do you consider yourself
lucky to be alive?

I do.

Life...

Has never been so exciting.

Those people who came with me-

why not free them?

You do not want the world to know
that you have ultimate power and mercy?

Do you understand nothing?

I'm beyond mercy.

I'm beyond good and bad.

These are childish ideas.

I'm changing the structures
of the world.

Where would I stop if
I showed your friends mercy?

It could... no exemptions!

No one. Not you. Not the farmer

not your poor screaming boy
whose insides I tore out.

Kill me!

I won't kill you.

I enjoy you.

If you can bleed, you can die.

Perhaps I can. But I won't.

I have too much work to do.

- Tarish.
- [ Man speaks, indistinct I

[ Thunder rumbles I

Steady!

Archers ready.

Fire!

Ready!

Now!

There is a cave up there.

It allows the air to enter.

And now I must leave you.

I don't want you to go alone.

If there is any sanity left in that madman,
then I must try to reach it.

You can't reason
with evil, merick.

But I should at least
be able to distract him.

I knew you'd come.

Old friend.

We were friends once.

But you have greatly changed.

Oh?

A magus's power is contingent...

On his service to a king.

How is it that you thrive
as the king's adversary?

How do you like my krug?

They are a cruel abomination.

Funny thing about krug.

They have no king.

So guess what I've done,
old friend.

- I dare not guess.
- I've made myself king.

King of the krug.

Now I serve a king
who deserves my utmost devotion.

- Me.
- Enough!

Gallian, you and /
are the last of the magi.

I beg you, recognize
that you have fallen into madness.

You have no idea...

How powerful...

Madness can be.

In my kingdom,
there will be no word for madness.

We shall simply call it...

Powet.

All right, men!

Be strong!

Be brave!

Charge!

Hmm. He's here.

He's arrived.

I see no reason to
prolong this battle.

Muriella.

I must get in.

Muriella.

You're here.

I don't know how it happened.

How could I have been so stupid?

Forgive me...

Magus.

Take the last of my power.

Now!

- Kill them!
- Somebody help us.

Look out behind you!

Run! Go!

Move it. Let's go. Go!

This way, farmer.

This way.

Farmer oh!

You've caused me a lot of worry, farmer.

I understand you've become king.

We can't have two kings bickering over
a single kingdom, now, can we?

How often do two kings
get to do battle one-on-one...

Getting to taste the blood
of one's true enemy?

Are you gonna fight...
Or talk me to death?

You wanna fight me with magic?

Where's your honor?

I will have my vengeance.

No!

What manner of vengeance
are you enjoying, farmer?

The vengeance of a father,
the vengeance of a husband...

Or the vengeance of a king?

You forget the vengeance of a mother.

[Blood trickles I

There's something
I've always wanted to tell you.
