♪ Pa-pum ♪

Queen Janai... You have been betrayed.

I've brought you an army.

Heal my wings and we can rain fiery justice

down upon our enemies.

Using dark magic creates a hole inside your spirit.

A corrupted emptiness.

You must search your mind and heart for your one deep truth.

The star within you.

Then you must let that truth shine and fill the darkness.

We should get going.

- I know. - Yep.

Long way to the Moon Nexus.

I know.

- One more? - One more what?

You know.

I know.

Aww. Don't be mad at Sneezles.

There'll be more kisses later.

Are you sure about this?

Flying all the way to the Nexus?

I'm sure. The starsilk wings won't last forever,

but they're sturdier than you think.

We'll take off together.

Just spread your wings and soar, Rayla.

Trust the wings.

Trust me.

I trust you.

- One... - One...

- Two... - Two...

- Three! - Three!

Whoa!

That's it! You got it!

Whoo!

Today, the great Sun King will rise with a new dawn.

And so will we!

Magnificent One.

We came to you with a Sunseed to heal your eyes.

But you commanded us instead to heal your wings.

And so today, you shall soar again,

and Pharos will serve as your eyes.

Pharos will show you the way

to rain fiery justice down upon our enemies!

Mighty Sol Regem!

Spread your wings so that you may soar!

Queen Aanya.

I'm excited for the wedding, but I'm not going to lie,

I'm really looking forward to trying Sunfire wedding cake.

They say it tastes like actual fire.

When Amaya and I first met, we had our differences.

Specifically, we tried to kill each other.

Two very special people helped us bridge our differences

and understand one another before we learned to do it on our own.

In a few minutes, Gren will lead us in a human custom of the wedding vows.

But first up is Kazi.

Please welcome them as they perform the Blessing of the Sun.

Oh great Sun, giver of all life!

Today we ask you to grant your blessing, to shine down upon...

Oh. Oh, dear...

Just a moment.

Feel free to, um, talk or sign amongst yourselves.

I'm sure these morning clouds will clear up...

soonish?

So, how are affairs in Katolis?

Oh. Affairs are...

well, fair.

Fair enough.

I thought that was Bait at first.

Me too.

Every time I look up and think the clouds are about to clear,

they part and move only to reveal...

more clouds.

It's strangely poetic.

This is very discouraging poetry.

We're moving forward with the ceremony.

No more delays.

But... what about the clouds?

Just because all you see is clouds

doesn't mean the sun isn't shining.

Now, that is poetry.

Oh great Sun, giver of all life!

Today we ask you to grant your blessing,

of love and light,

of warmth and growth.

We ask you to shine down upon the love of these two people.

Even if we can't specifically see you shining.

Now, Commander Gren will lead the royal couple

in human vows of matrimony.

Um, Commander? Are you ready?

Yeah, I'm okay, I'm okay.

I'm sorry. I, uh... promised myself I wouldn't do this.

Dearly beloved.

We are gathered here today...

My Queen!

I have urgent news.

The banished prince and his army of traitors

approach from the South.

We are under attack!

These are the battles that history remembers, Miyana.

The few against the many, the righteous...

Against the wrongous?

We are outnumbered,

but my sister is outmatched.

We have to put off the wedding until we've dealt with him

and everyone is safe.

- One last battle. - What? No!

This is supposed to be a day of love, not a day of bloodshed.

Maybe we can talk him down.

I knew Karim was foolish, but I didn't think he was stupid.

He has one band of traitors against our five loyal armies.

We will crush him in an hour!

Queen Janai, please.

Go on with the wedding.

Send me as your emissary to Karim.

Let me find a path of peace instead of war.

I appreciate your optimism,

but love and trust can't solve every conflict.

We must...

It did for us.

Yes, I suppose it did.

Very well, young King of Katolis.

Go and try to talk sense into my brother.

But talk quickly.

Once we are married, Karim's time is up.

Karim, come see this.

Janai has sent an envoy.

She's sent entertainment.

They'd better save us some wedding cake.

Ah. Keeping your friend safe back there?

The other way around, actually.

Mmm, she must be an excellent shot.

Yes. She is.

Ah, you will have to forgive me.

I've never negotiated with a child before.

He is a king.

A human child, no less.

Human, child, king.

None of that matters.

I'm here to ask you to listen to what I have to say.

Prince Karim, all Queen Janai wants is peace.

There's no need to attack.

Take your army,

the people who follow you,

and build your own future somewhere away from here.

That would amount to a scrap of what is rightfully mine.

Crumbs off my sister's plate will not sate my people.

But I agree with you.

There is no need for violence today if my terms are met.

Your terms?

Prince Karim, I may be a child, but I know how to count.

Janai's five armies are more than your one.

The Queen expects to defeat you decisively.

And I expect my sister to surrender unconditionally

and acknowledge me as High King of the Sunfire Empire.

I don't think...

And all humans will leave our lands immediately,

and return to the other side of the border.

Where you belong.

Where was I? Uh...

Right.

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today

to witness the union of General Amaya of Katolis

and Queen Janai of the Sunfire Elves.

If anyone objects to this marriage, well, what are they going to do,

show up with an army?

Anyway, let's move forward with the vows of matrimony.

Queen Janai, you may begin.

Amaya.

Before I met you, I thought my life was complete.

I knew the borders of my world and how to protect them.

But you broke down those borders

and showed me beauty and love that I have never seen before.

Amaya.

My vow to you is that no border or wall will ever come between us.

I am yours, and I will stand with you undivided for the rest of my life.

General Amaya.

Janai.

When I asked Gren for help writing this, he just said,

"Tell Janai what you love about her."

But that's hard to do

because it changes all the time.

Every single day,

I discover something new,

and my love for you keeps growing.

So, Janai,

my vow to you is that our love will grow as we grow together.

It will change but it will endure,

and it will bring more love into the world as it does.

With the vows complete, you may kiss your bride.

We are so honored to pronounce you Queen Janai of the Sunfire Elves...

And her wife... Queen Amaya!

You can't force the humans to leave.

People have made friendships, built families.

Your own sister is marrying a human!

I know this must seem harsh to you, but...

history cannot be forged without fire.

Without strength.

No. History doesn't have to be a narrative of strength.

Not if we don't want it to be.

It can be a narrative of love.

These are childish dreams.

Not dreams. Choices.

I am a king.

And as a king, I choose love over strength.

Sometimes it's hard, but when I struggle,

I think about the people I love

and how they are counting on me to do the right thing.

Not the harsh thing, not the strong thing.

The right thing.

Do you love your sister, Prince Karim?

What? Of course I do. I...

She has led our people down the wrong path.

But she will always be my sister.

Then you can still choose love.

It's not too late.

The great Archdragon of the Sun was faced with a choice long ago.

He chose fire.

I honor Sol Regem now,

as my sister should have done when she had the chance.

You honor him now?

Wait, Corvus...

Ezran, something is wrong.

They have no shields, no defenses at all.

They're waiting for something.

For...

You want Janai to attack!

And when she does...

you'll call down Sol Regem, and...

they won't stand a chance!

Ahh. Humans might be more clever than I thought.

I don't need five armies

when I have one archdragon.

Corvus, we have to go! We have to warn them!

I'm afraid I can't allow that.

But as a reward for your cleverness...

...you will survive the righteous fire that comes next

as my prisoners.

Ezran hasn't returned yet?

No, my love.

Open your eyes, little king. You cannot be blind to destiny.

Sol Regem will grace us with his presence soon.

Actually, I'm waiting for a different dragon.

Zym! Now!

Corvus!

Go, Ezran! You need to warn them!

Let's go, girl.

You're not going anywhere!

Ahh!

We have to warn them.

Sol Regem is coming! It's a trap!

Enough speeches have been made today.

Let us end this threat to the Sunfire Kingdom forever!

Go! Go!

- The boy king has escaped. - Then he too shall burn.

Miyana. Will you call the sun?

No!

It's a trap! It's a trap!

Stop! Stop! Turn back!

Stop! Stop! It's a trap!

What are you waiting for?

Rain fire and justice down on them!

Ahh! Where is he?

Where... are you?
