♪ Pa-pum ♪

You've done this before.

Is it such a big deal dirtying yourself with a little dark magic?

There must be a way to destroy the Pearl, really destroy it.

I say, you and me take a journey up to the Starscraper,

to the frozen north.

The path of freedom is the path of truth.

I must face my truth...

in Katolis.

Everyone leaves.

But you're never going to leave me.

Because I'm leaving you first.

Claudia, please.

I will be here for you.

I did one spell. One.

I had to.

Aw, look at that pair. Sneezles and Snoozles.

Wha...?

Wake up, kids.

Sleepy, easy part of the journey is over.

Time for the treacherous, perilous, hardship part.

So this is it? The Frozen Sea.

Seems like they named it about right.

The rest of the journey to the Starscraper is over the ice.

Uh, are you sure it will hold us?

Nope.

We need to spread our weight.

I know you're "widdle," but maybe you should walk with me

to even out the weight a little.

Try to stay calm.

We'll get you out of there. Kick your hind legs!

Come on. You can...

No! No, no, no, no!

Do some magic, mage.

- I know a water volcano spell. - That.

Do that.

Mons aqueous!

This place isn't for you.

You've been a brave companion, but...

it's time for you to go home.

Home to the Silvergrove, to Ethari.

I'll see you again someday.

- Whoa, careful! - Why'd you stop me?

- That's black ice. - Oh.

Is it enchanted with dark magic?

Huh? No.

It's just... It looks black because it's so smooth.

I see.

Seems like maybe it's named a bit over-dramatically...

Ugh!

Thanks. That was super smooth.

The ice, I mean.

Huh...

Is that a ship?

- How long do you think it's been here? - No telling.

Couple centuries, maybe?

It's literally frozen in time.

It's literally frozen in ice.

It's figuratively frozen in time.

I'm going in, see if there's anything useful,

supplies and such.

I'm the one who lost all my stuff, I should go in.

No, there's no telling how unstable the ship is

after so many years in the elements.

I'm quick and agile.

If anything shifts, I'll be able to handle it.

Mm-hmm, very agile. We all remember when...

And don't bring up the evil black ice incident.

What do you think?

Okay. Here goes.

"Ray of Illumination."

Seems like a nice name for a ship.

It's sad that this ship is stuck.

I mean, look at it. This ship is going nowhere.

Think about when this ship first became a thing,

people were so excited about this ship.

It was probably some people's favorite ship.

They probably dreamed and imagined this ship would go amazing places.

Exactly. It's not moving at all.

I mean, you could sit here and draw pictures of the ship,

but does that change anything?

The frozen ship. So sad.

It's a diary.

I feel like maybe we shouldn't be reading it.

Oh, you nosey little monkey.

True, maybe there's some untold danger we can only learn about if we take a peek.

I have no idea if that's what you're actually saying, but let's go with it.

"Though our journeys to date have been wildly successful

and I have acquired more treasure and magical relics

than I ever dared dream,

shall I confess to you the one thing left which I desire?"

I think he should confess it, don't you?

Actually, why am I assuming "he"?

"These are the private words

of Her Excellency Captain Esmerelda Skall."

Let's try this again.

"Shall I confess to you the one thing left which I desire?"

"Here in the final gloaming of my days,

I find what I most deeply desire

is what I could have had all along, the love of my dear Conrad."

"The voices that called me away from him...

duty, adventure, glory...

are all hollow winds that have left me cold and dying alone."

"Conrad, if you were here, I would tell you I am sorry."

"Conrad, if you were here,

I would tell you that the vast mystery I traveled the world to find

was contained in you along."

"Conrad, if you were here, I would hold your gaze

and I would hold your hand..."

Rayla, it's getting dark!

You almost done?

Everything okay?

Is Rayla crying?

Rayla, I'm coming!

"Conrad, if you were here, I would tell you

all my choices were nothing, and you are everything."

"Conrad, if you were here..."

Rayla!

Rayla, I'm here.

I'm here.

Callum, you're here.

Yeah.

Rayla, all this time...

Yeah?

All this time... you were reading?

- Sorry, uh... - Rayla!

Yeah, I mean, I thought maybe there was something we needed to know.

But it doesn't matter.

I told you not to come on the boat.

You were crying, I thought something was wrong.

Nothing was wrong.

Either way, the sun's set and it's crazy cold out there,

so we should stay here overnight, where at least we have some shelter.

No. It's too unstable.

Nah! It's been frozen here for centuries, it's not gonna suddenly sink tonight.

Look, she may be stuck, but she's still a good ship.

Fine, we'll spend the night here.

But no punching the boat.

Well, all my bedding plunged in during the ice accident.

Guess I can always use a pile of loose planks as a blanket.

Hey, I invented a "planket."

I don't suppose you want to use the anti-magic blanket to keep you warm?

Absolutely not. I'll sleep easier knowing the Pearl is safe.

Callum, why don't you just share my blanket with me?

It's not really that big a deal.

Ooh, I'll be fine. Thanks.

I mean, more specifically, no thanks. No offense. But no.

Okay then.

Oh, wow, I hadn't noticed before that we had a view.

The sky is beautiful tonight.

They say the stars outlast us all Eternal sentinels on high

But I have sought their silver hearts

And wonder if, perhaps, they die

Perhaps they gasp the cold of dawn A final breath of living night

Then newborn sparks born of the dark

Breathe in the dusk

And breathe out light

Those are absolutely the softest, most lovely words I've ever heard.

My dad wrote that.

King Harrow?

Uh, no, um, my dad... dad.

His name was Damian. He was a writer, a poet.

He lived with this terrible breathing sickness his whole life.

He said it made him appreciate every breath and every moment.

My mom said he was the strongest person she ever knew.

Thank you, Callum.

Thank you for sharing with me.

- Callum? - Oh, I'm okay. I'm okay.

I'm fine.

I'm honestly warm, really.

Ugh, don't be stupid. We're sharing the blanket.

- Mm. - Uh, good night.

Night.

- Oh. Hi. - Hi, Callum.

- We're close. - Yeah. We are.

I mean, our faces are.

Your breath is warm.

Oh, sorry.

- No, it's nice. - Good.

Yeah.

I have to tell you something.

Hm?

I did dark magic again.

What?

I can't believe you used dark magic again.

- Because it's wrong? - Because it's dangerous.

Because it hurts you.

But most of all, because it makes you vulnerable

to the thing you're most afraid of.

Aaravos. I know.

So why? Why would you would do it again?

It doesn't matter now.

I did it, I'm ruined, it's too late for me, who cares?

It's not too late for you if you quit.

I just don't understand why you would keep doing it.

Knowing that it puts your life in terrible danger.

- Fine! You want to know why? - Yeah. I do!

- I did it for you! - What?

Finnegrin was gonna kill you.

I didn't have a choice, because...

...I would do anything for you.

Am I supposed to thank you?

No, that's not what I'm saying. I, uh...

Listen to me.

If you ever have to choose between me and the greater good,

do the right thing.

Make the sacrifice.

I think it stopped.

- The lamp! - Uh, we have to put it out!

Time to go.

Stand back.

Sagitta venti!

The Pearl!

Ah!

Rayla, come on!

You told me to never sacrifice the greater good for one person,

no matter who it is, well...

You have to promise me something too.

What?

If Aaravos ever controls me again, if he uses me...

promise me you'll kill me.

Yes.

I promise.

King Ezran, I know it's late. There is a commotion on the bridge.

A mysterious stranger, a ranting madman.

No, no. No, no, wait. Wait, wait! Please!

Please, I just need to see the king. I only need to see the king, please!

Don't touch me! Please!

I'm not here to cause any harm, I just need to see the...

king.

King Ezran?

My king.

I-I am a humble servant.

I-I have been humbled and brought low.

I have changed, I have...

Oh, I have changed.

Oh, my King, I have done things, but I see...

I see a different path!

Stop.

Stop!

Are you begging for mercy?

No.

Good. You don't deserve any.
