it is a good day to die.

in an age when nature
and magic rule the world...

there is
an extraordinary legend:

the story of a warrior

who communicates with animals,

who fights sorcery
and the unnatural.

his name is dar,
last of his tribe.

he's also called...

I found you.

I knew that you would
head back to camp.

see, to go from granite
pool to the west cliff,

you have to go
right through here.

the only problem
with that, tao,

is I can't walk
through a tree.

not really, figuratively.

my map, remember?

I have charted half
of the mydlands,

part of the downs,
even the territories,

the granite pool,
the burning forest,

all the places that I've seen

and all the places that other

great adventurers
have described to me.

other great
adventurers,

like you?

this is where the habim tribe

jumped to their death,
man, woman, and child,

rather than be
captured by the terrons.

here, this is where
the argons once lived.

they were priests
and soothsayers.

they're terron slaves now.

what are you doing?

I'm making a map.

to find your way
through the forest,

you have to use your feet.

it is time, father.

what has been taken
from us shall be restored

or I will exact retribution.

I will fulfil my destiny.

you're thirsty?

see, being a great
adventurer is hard work.

what is it?

well, what does he see?
are we in danger?

a bird? I'm not going to
lose any sleep over a bird.

ruh doesn't
like this bird.

since when is ruh
afraid of a bird?

what sort of bird is it?

is it a giant bird?
a sorcerer's bird?

it's a yellow bird.

sorceress?

sorceress.

Where are you, you bloody witch?

sorceress!

I wouldn't shout if
you came when I called.

this is no way to woo me
if that is your intention.

I don't woo. I want, I take.

an interesting approach --
one that might work

with a slave girl,

I suppose.

forgive me.

at times, my
ardour overwhelms me.

your ardour, king?

is it troubling you
especially today?

it troubles me
whenever I think of you,

which I find myself doing
with increasing regularity.

slave girls are no
longer good enough.

I find you've
awakened a taste in me

for far richer fare.

rich foods can be
dangerous to one's health.

yes, but what a way to go.

come, my king -- there
are rules about contact

between mortals
and immortals.

rules, like men's bones,
are made to be broken.

I recommend you bathe
in ice water, your majesty.

failing that, I am
sure there is someone

at your disposal who
can cure what ails you.

one, possibly.

Although I fear she may provide

little more than
temporary solace.

what's this?

another of your argon rituals?

qord.

tell me, sella,

what good have your traditions
done for your people?

aren't they just as dead?

aren't they?

are you going to answer me?

or is the daughter
of the argon high priest

too good for the war chief
of the filthy terrons?

everyone dies, qord.

our traditions

just make it bearable.

what comforts you?

go wash your face!

your beauty belongs to me.

you've no right to cover it.

soon, father. Soon.

the sun looks angry.

it is low in the sky.

looks like it'll come
down and burn us up.

it's going to be
a lonely moon tonight.

why do you call
it a lonely moon?

it's been called a lonely moon

because the moons
line up in such a way

that they form
one enormous moon.

some call it lonely moon.

the argons call
it redemption time.

redemption time? What's that?

it's a time to
atone for your sins.

be cleansed and renewed.

they put ash on
their face as a sign.

How do you get this redemption?

It can't be forced upon anyone.

an act of atonement
must be performed.

it can be done in many ways.

what?

no -- spikes, see?

what is it? Is that poison?

It's wonderful. How are we going
to get the wombat out of there?

there's something
else I don't like.

something's wrong here.

-what did you say to him?
-what do you think?

stop struggling, it's
just making things worse.

I could have
told him that.

but would he have listened?

go...go.

I was about to suggest that.

of course you were.

kodo doesn't like wombats
but he does like food.

how do you like that?

not even a thank you.

as long as he lives long--

who are you?

what do you want?

don't you recognize me?

I am prince garuda.

it's the phoenix.

the last phoenix,

as you are the last sula.

and when the night sky closes
its eye, I will kill you.

excuse me, father.

but I want the leader
of the sulas to understand

-why he must die today.
-I've done nothing to you.

for countless generations,
the song of the phoenix

has moved the sun
through the heavens

so that the sulas
may grow their crops.

and what was asked
of you in return?

that the sulas do one thing:

guard an urn...

one golden urn.

and you failed.

my people, they couldn't
even save themselves.

the terrons
destroyed everything.

you survived.

the sula tigers live.

within that urn

is the key to my
transcendence into immortality.

every age I return
and take human form.

I have this one day
in which to renew myself.

if I don't have that urn,
I will fail in my mission

and be doomed for another age,

away from my
father, the sun.

but zad, the king of the
terrons, knows where the urn is.

I don't.

the protection of the urn
was the responsibilty

of the king of the sulas.

there is no king of the sulas.

there is only me.

only you.

your father betrayed
the trust placed in him.

now I will destroy you.

it's not poison.

sleeping potion.

you're ok.

did you see it?

it was incredible.

I thought the phoenix
was only alive in stories.

if dar was here, he could

to find where the
phoenix took him.

what good is a map if you
don't know where you are?

fetch!

that's not it.

um...um...

find!

you know what I mean.

see? Teaching
animals isn't so hard.

You wanted to see me, king zad?

not particularly.

but I do need to talk to you.

you wish me to
plan another raid?

I don't need you
to plan anything.

you're my war chief.

your job is to carry
out what I plan.

we work well
together, do we not?

the perfect team.

I say; you do.

that way, you
don't need to think.

and I guarantee you all the
comforts and pleasures of life.

and a very generous provider
I am, wouldn't you agree?

you wanted to talk
to me about something.

you're insolent, qord.

but you're too valuable
for me to kill -- just.

you have
something I want.

what could that be?

I have only what
you have given me.

and everything you've
taken from our enemies.

with your approval.

nevertheless, I'm a black pit

of wanting, qord.

it's a thirst that
won't be slaked.

you have a girl

called sella.

I want her.

the argon slave girl?

she's the daughter of a
high priest, isn't she?

a woman of high birth.

yes, but--

do you suppose that you are
more entitled to this woman

than i, your king?

do you?

peasant girls are for the
amusement of common soldiers.

princesses are for
the amusement of kings.

bring her to me.

dar?

dar?

sharak. Did dar send you?

what am I supposed
to do -- do I follow you

or do I follow kodo and podo?

you want me to follow you.

you do. You do.

I guess it's not hard for
animals to train humans, either.

lucky sharak showed up.

this is ridiculous -- not
only am I talking to ferrets

but I'm worried about
hurting their feelings.

where are
we going?

zad wants you for himself.

I'll be damned if
I let him have you.

what are you going
to do with me?

in here.

what is this place, qord?

my place.

have you stolen
all this from zad?

I have taken only
what I have earned.

but he will
kill you.

he will never find it.

he will never find you.

you would defy your
king to keep me?

I'd defy anyone
to keep what's mine.

one day, I will no
longer bow to zad.

one day, he will bow to me.

qord, beware.

but I've also seen it destroy
those who hunger for it.

it will be over soon.

it is not my intention

to cause you
unnecessary suffering.

how will my
death help you?

it won't get
you the urn.

I have my destiny.

perhaps you think it unfair.

much of mortal life is unfair.

sometimes a son must suffer
for the sins of his father.

my father's done you no wrong.

perhaps not.

but that changes nothing.

was allowed to take what
no mortal has any right to.

that is a sin

for which you must
pay the penalty.

what pretender?

I speak of the man

who bears the mark
of the phoenix

on his face for all to see.

you know what to do.

I hope.

come here, you rat!

ah, kodo.

how did you get
podo to do that?

there was no other
course of action for him.

-will you hurry up?
-i'm going as fast as I can.

-there. Like that.
-fine.

quickly.

dar, go!

when the bright sky
closes its eye,

I must fulfil my destiny.

you owe me, sula.

and I will collect...
one way or another.

that showed him.

no, he made a mistake.

anyway, what
was that speech about?

you owe him?
what do you owe him?

an urn...stolen from
my people by the terrons.

well, he'll just
have to drink out

of a wineskin
like the rest of us.

where are you going?

the urn still must be there,
and I have to find it.

you're going to go
to the camp of the people

who want to kill you
to rescue the treasure

of a monster who also
wants to kill you?

well, someone's
going to be disappointed.

you can only die once.

this is madness.

what will we do, approach zad

and go, "please, zad,
can we have the urn back?"

what if he hasn't got it?

will we search the whole camp?
I think it's a bad idea.

then don't think.

how are these two
going to help?

at least they won't drive
me crazy with their chatter.

Tao, I need you to do something.

you have to find
the phoenix's sacred place,

his altar --
I have to take the urn there.

you must find it.
but why?

because if I don't, he's
going to come back

again and again and again in
every age until the end of time.

how will I
find his altar?

it could be anywhere,
not to mention

all the regrowth
it could be under.

ruh will go with you.

when you find it, he'll
come and get me. You wait there.

it will be like looking for
a needle in the earth thatch.

I thought you
had a map.

cute.

it can't be far
from where you found me.

the phoenix won't stray
far from his nest.

hey...

just be careful.

escaped?

you allowed that slip
of a girl to escape?

she must have taken off when
I was here with you earlier.

I'm so very
disappointed

in you, qord,

very disappointed,
indeed.

perhaps the favoured concubine
of the chief of the ionians.

it should not be difficult
to capture her.

that turnip?

my horse is
more appealing.

then, how else
can I make this up to you?

pay with your life, qord,

unless sella is in my bed

before the moon rises.

find her!

out of the way, rodents.

hey, come on.

hey, hey, you found him?

that's good work.

[ cawing ]

whoa.

I can't even find where
I began, let alone this altar.

[ growling ]

what?

[ growling ]

what?

ruh, can you see it?

fine...

I'll just wait here
totally unprotected.

do you often
talk to yourself?

I-I wasn't, that is--

don't be alarmed.

It is not you I must kill today.

you're not going to
kill dar, either.

he's well away.
at least two moons gone.

he will come to me before
the bright sky closes its eye.

it is ordained.

it's not what I wanted,
but it has to be.

you abandoned your courage
and all your

-grand plans so easily, qord?
-the time is not yet

right for my plan -- zad does

-not believe me.
-you'd surrender me to him?

if I don't, I'm dead.

are you not worried
that I will tell him

about all this?

I will make my move soon --
when I do,

you will have your freedom.

even if you betray me to him,
you will be his slave forever.

You may not believe my promise,

but it's the only
hope you've got.

besides, as the daughter
of an argon high priest,

you cannot betray me.

I thought you did not care
for the faith of my people.

I don't.

but you do.

there was a time when
I thought there was more

to you than
this, qord.

then you're a fool.

king zad.

you seem especially pleased
with yourself today.

I am a man
of action, sorceress,

not often given to melancholy...

and happiest when I am about
to confront my enemies.

and which enemy
is it this time?

my loyal war chief, qord.

however, I'm sure you've
been following developments.

you're quite confident
of the outcome.

this qord has begun to have
ideas above his station.

he's about to provide me
with the ammunition

to cut him down to size.

if you distrust him so,

you could
simply dispose

of him,
couldn't you?

but he's a resourceful
and highly skilled warrior.

if, however, I'm presented
with proof of his treachery...

so you would sacrifice
your best warrior

to satisy this troublesome
ardour of yours.

ohhh...

I'll do more than that,
much more...

if you were to be my reward.

I take it you'd
like to watch.

very much.

one more step, beastmaster,
and she dies.

I don't want the girl.

but I do.

that's all I needed to see.

thank you, sorceress.

that mark on your face,

you were attacked
by a great bird.

perhaps you stole something
that belonged to my people.

your people don't exist.
how can they own anything?

the urn, I want
the golden urn, qord.

I meant what I said.

this girl is promised
to king zad.

if you don't drop your staff
and walk away

from here, her blood will flow.

if she is promised to zad
like you say,

you won't hurt her, 'cause your
life would be worth nothing.

ahhh!

as you wish, beastmaster,
just you and me.

this is the day
which had to come.

ahhh!

[ roaring ]

call your
monster off, beastmaster.

this is not a fair fight.

he likes to watch.

And that's all he's going to do.

[ roaring ]

we'll meet again,
I promise you...

you all right?

are you all right?

yeah, yeah,
I think so.

I'm dar. I'm a sula.

I'm sella of the
argon people.

the urn that
you seek,

I think it's
in here.

is this it?

thank you.

thank you.

if I don't return this to

its owner by sunset,
I'm a dead man.

you know garuda,
the golden phoenix?

yes, yes, my people
used to speak of it.

is that the urn?

-tHe day's dying. We must hurry.
-whoa, whoa, whoa.

we?

it will happen, father,
it will happen.

and I am not afraid
of what I must do.

perhaps I should
go on alone.

No, this will be such a special

moment of atonement
and redemption.

I'm one of the few
who still believes.

I must see it.

[ cawing ]

well, at least we won't
have to waste time

looking for garuda's nest.

our guide is
about to join us.

-he awaits you at the altar.
-good, where is it?

through the bushes,
this-- who's she?

daughter of the high
priest of the argon.

oh...oh,
but, dar.

he's going to
kill you.

you mustn't
go in there.

I have to.

zad.

you remembered my name.

good.

it's a pity you seem
to have forgotten who I am.

well...

let's hear it.

explain yourself.

where is she, qord?

where's my

-argon princess?
-beastmaster took her.

I tracked her to the cave.

I was bringing her to you

when he and that tiger
of his attacked.

damn you, zad, I'm

telling you the truth.

what about
all this?

she, she never told me
how it came to be here?

in some lands,

thieves lose their hands,

liars have
their tongues cut out.

however, a mute,
handless warrior

would be of little use to me.

so I give you this

to remind you that I have

the power over life and death.

I am your king.

look.

Of course, when the bright sky
closes its eye, when the sun is

eclipsed by
the lonely moon.

it will happen only once
in our lifetime.

Less than once in our lifetimes.

hands and hands of lifetimes.

look, there it is.

don't go, he's--

no, no, no.

in this place at this time,

you owe me a life.

this is more
valuable than my life.

the golden urn.

I've honoured the promise
of my ancestors.

Now you may fulfil your destiny.

you have done very well, sula.

wise of me to

give you the opportunity
when we fought.

but you knew that, didn't you?

and now you know,

that a sula always
keeps his word.

he's not supposed to die.

-he's supposed to live.
-and will live.

the phoenix returns
to the ashes.

the ashes return
to the golden urn.

and the bird is reborn.
