1. These young acolytes,
they worship for one moon phase
Copy !req
2. and think because they're new and shiny
they should be Selemene's favorites.
Copy !req
3. They should know their place.
I know my own.
Copy !req
4. What? I don't feel threatened.
Copy !req
5. Crescent light upon you, sister.
Copy !req
6. It's very shiny?
Copy !req
7. Sagan! Komi!
Copy !req
8. Ah!
Copy !req
9. I don't return empty-handed.
Copy !req
10. - See?
The Lotuses of Mene.
Copy !req
11. Is this where you've been?
Copy !req
12. - Doing this?
- What?
Copy !req
13. How did you…
Copy !req
14. I found them. In a pool of water.
Copy !req
15. In the Nightsilver Woods.
Copy !req
16. The Nightsilver Woods?
Copy !req
17. - How did you get in?
- How did you get out?
Copy !req
18. The flowers smell weird.
Copy !req
19. And you did this by yourself.
Copy !req
20. I had to.
Copy !req
21. Someone had to.
Copy !req
22. Because of a story?
Copy !req
23. The Nightsilver Woods are real.
Copy !req
24. The lotuses are real.
Copy !req
25. I saw home, our real home.
Copy !req
26. And… and with these, I'll lead us back.
Copy !req
27. We'll take it back. It's ours.
Just like the story says.
Copy !req
28. You are mad. But I love you.
Copy !req
29. And I've missed you.
Copy !req
30. Hmm. We've all missed you.
Copy !req
31. Not now.
Copy !req
32. Now I have to find him.
Copy !req
33. Give me a reason,
any reason, not to kill you.
Copy !req
34. Every night for the last week
I've watched this happen,
Copy !req
35. and every night
I ask myself that question.
Copy !req
36. - But you don't.
- No, I don't.
Copy !req
37. I keep having these nightmares.
Copy !req
38. Nightmares?
Copy !req
39. The dragons. I hear them, their voices.
Copy !req
40. They're everywhere.
Copy !req
41. The ones you've slain.
Copy !req
42. No. All of them. All dragons.
Copy !req
43. It's just words and words and music.
Copy !req
44. Like their singing to each other.
Uh, to me.
Copy !req
45. About whatever it was
you said you saw in that cave.
Copy !req
46. Maybe.
Copy !req
47. It's strange, I don't understand.
Copy !req
48. But they're inside me, and I don't…
I don't know how to stop them.
Copy !req
49. Other than waking up.
Copy !req
50. Other than that.
Copy !req
51. At least until I reach Dragon Hold.
Copy !req
52. We'll reach the Sage by week's end.
Copy !req
53. Maybe he can help.
Copy !req
54. A thousand years ago,
deep in the Nightsilver Woods,
Copy !req
55. the sun shut her eyes
and the moon turned to blood.
Copy !req
56. - Did it hurt?
- It made her weak.
Copy !req
57. Mene, the Goddess of the Moon.
Copy !req
58. Yes. Ssh. Listen now.
Copy !req
59. The night turned red,
Copy !req
60. and our goddess was trapped
in shadow by Selemene.
Copy !req
61. Selemene, the Dark Moon Goddess.
Copy !req
62. Mene is still inside the shadow?
Copy !req
63. She is.
Can she get out?
Copy !req
64. Why? Why did Selemene do that?
Copy !req
65. Selemene wanted worship
from the Coriel'Tauvi.
Copy !req
66. Punished anyone
who wouldn't call her Goddess.
Copy !req
67. But some elves,
they did say their prayers to her?
Copy !req
68. - To Selemene?
- Yes, some did. Some still do.
Copy !req
69. - But she's evil.
- That's how evil works sometimes.
Copy !req
70. But…
Copy !req
71. Selemene banished anyone
who wouldn't pray to her,
Copy !req
72. far from our home
in the Nightsilver Woods,
Copy !req
73. into the darkest corners of the world.
Copy !req
74. Our true Goddess left this world,
Copy !req
75. but every day, we worship Mene,
so one day she'll come back to us.
Copy !req
76. Praise the moon of Mene.
Copy !req
77. But if Mene is dead,
how does she come back?
Copy !req
78. Through belief. Worship.
What is divine may never die.
Copy !req
79. You see, Mene left a gift for us
in the Temple.
Copy !req
80. - Her magical lotuses.
- Presents?
Copy !req
81. But they're just flowers.
Copy !req
82. Special flowers.
She lived for her flowers,
Copy !req
83. so when he lays the flowers
on the earth, she will return.
Copy !req
84. Uh… who is he?
Copy !req
85. He is a man with spectacular
knowledge and power.
Copy !req
86. A sorcerer.
Copy !req
87. - Does he have a name?
He doesn't.
Copy !req
88. He lives in a miraculous tower,
Copy !req
89. tucked in the valley
of the highest mountains.
Copy !req
90. And that's where I will go.
And I will bring him these.
Copy !req
91. The presents.
Copy !req
92. You're going to bring back Mene.
You're going to take us home.
Copy !req
93. I don't wanna go home. I want more story.
Copy !req
94. Don't worry. There's plenty left to tell.
Copy !req
95. So you're really leaving to find this man?
Copy !req
96. You're not coming?
Copy !req
97. We've all heard the stories, but you…
Copy !req
98. - It's like you live them.
- We all live them.
Copy !req
99. Not good enough.
Copy !req
100. You left without a word last time
and returned with those lotuses.
Copy !req
101. Now you're leaving again, and expect us
to follow with no questions asked.
Copy !req
102. We need you to let us in.
Copy !req
103. We need to know.
Copy !req
104. The stories, what makes you so sure?
Copy !req
105. This.
Copy !req
106. This is why.
Copy !req
107. I can do this.
Copy !req
108. And this.
Copy !req
109. Ooh! Now do me.
Copy !req
110. I can even make it seem like
I was never here at all.
Copy !req
111. - You should've told us.
- Told you what? That I'm a freak?
Copy !req
112. Would you have looked at me the same?
Copy !req
113. The stories say Mene's priests
and warriors could do those things.
Copy !req
114. But Mene is gone. She's dead.
Copy !req
115. Or maybe some part of Mene
is still out there.
Copy !req
116. - And she has chosen me.
No.
Copy !req
117. Mene has chosen us.
Copy !req
118. Left.
Copy !req
119. That path will run another week.
This one will cut days off our journey.
Copy !req
120. Yeah, it's faster. If it doesn't kill you.
Copy !req
121. I've traveled these roads.
I don't go right.
Copy !req
122. - And with this storm coming in…
I'll take my chances on faster.
Copy !req
123. Ice up ahead.
Copy !req
124. - How much longer till the bottom?
- Too long.
Copy !req
125. - We'll wait till the worst passes.
- Wait?
Copy !req
126. I won't spend a night with you up here.
Copy !req
127. Maybe you should've thought of that
back in Haupstadt.
Copy !req
128. I could have left you to the guards.
Copy !req
129. Fair point.
Copy !req
130. It's too slick.
Copy !req
131. Lash ourselves together. To Sagan.
Copy !req
132. His weight will hold us.
Copy !req
133. Mirana!
Copy !req
134. Hold on to me!
Copy !req
135. It's me. I'm too heavy.
Copy !req
136. We can make it.
Copy !req
137. Mirana, what are you doing? No!
Copy !req
138. Mirana!
Copy !req
139. Marci!
Copy !req
140. Davion!
Copy !req
141. Anyone?
Copy !req
142. I see it. I told you.
Copy !req
143. See what?
Copy !req
144. The tower.
Right there between the two peaks.
Copy !req
145. I don't see anything.
Copy !req
146. It's down there. Trust me.
Copy !req
147. Sorcerer.
Copy !req
148. Just like the stories.
Copy !req
149. Hello?
Copy !req
150. - This place is…
Big.
Copy !req
151. I was going to say empty.
Copy !req
152. - Big and empty.
- This way. I think.
Copy !req
153. Big, empty, and strange.
Copy !req
154. What is that?
Copy !req
155. Dyfed? Adara?
Copy !req
156. - Idwal?
Name yourself.
Copy !req
157. Fymryn, of Enclave Coedwig.
Copy !req
158. How did you find my tower?
Copy !req
159. It stands high in the valley.
Copy !req
160. But how? How did you see it?
Copy !req
161. It was hard to miss.
Copy !req
162. And in a thousand years,
no one has found it.
Copy !req
163. And then you simply saw it.
Copy !req
164. Yes. Like I told you.
Copy !req
165. You. Are you…
Copy !req
166. Are you him?
Copy !req
167. I brought these. The lotuses.
Copy !req
168. Taken from the Temple,
from the Nightsilver Woods.
Copy !req
169. I did the thing they said
could never be done.
Copy !req
170. You're a thief. Nothing more.
Copy !req
171. But, but, but I…
Copy !req
172. I did everything the story said,
and… and now…
Copy !req
173. Now, you may leave.
Copy !req
174. Our true goddess lives in these lotuses.
Copy !req
175. Mene lives in them. Please take them.
Bring her back.
Copy !req
176. Stories are stories.
Copy !req
177. Dead is dead. No one can change that.
Copy !req
178. Not even I can change that.
Copy !req
179. I breached the temple.
Copy !req
180. I… I risked everything to get here.
This can't be how it ends.
Copy !req
181. For your trouble.
Copy !req
182. Cochi.
Copy !req
183. You're safe.
Copy !req
184. One second we were all there,
and then the next we were all here.
Copy !req
185. All but you. I am so relieved.
Copy !req
186. Ugh, I'm so sick. Let's not do that again.
Copy !req
187. We should've listened to you.
Copy !req
188. - What we saw… What we found…
- Nothing.
Copy !req
189. - We found nothing.
- We saw wonders.
Copy !req
190. I failed.
Copy !req
191. There's no wonder in that.
Copy !req
192. Mene.
Copy !req
193. Davion?
Copy !req
194. Hello!
Copy !req
195. Moon's holy light…
Copy !req
196. Goddess, forgive me.
I've failed you. I know now.
Copy !req
197. But never again, I swear to you.
Copy !req
198. Please. I am nothing without you. No one.
Copy !req
199. Please. I just…
Copy !req
200. I want to come home.
Copy !req
201. Can't I come home?
Copy !req
202. I love you.
Copy !req
203. It's you.
Copy !req
204. - Don't you see it in the eyes?
- I do.
Copy !req
205. But her nose looks just like yours.
Copy !req
206. Smile for me.
Copy !req
207. Aha! A bit of rabbit in your teeth.
Copy !req
208. - Right there.
- There's something to this.
Copy !req
209. Something about you and this coin.
Copy !req
210. Both are beautiful. Worship with us.
We'll give the Goddess our love.
Copy !req
211. Love her together.
Copy !req
212. Mirana. You have forgotten me.
Copy !req
213. Mirana.
Copy !req
214. Remember.
Copy !req
215. We know what you want.
Copy !req
216. The return of your Dark Lady, Mene.
Copy !req
217. Mene, who would plunge the world
in endless shadow.
Copy !req
218. Not today.
Copy !req
219. Give me the lotuses,
Copy !req
220. or I send all of you
back to her dead embrace.
Copy !req
221. We… We don't have them. They're gone.
Copy !req
222. What… What have you done?
What have you done?
Copy !req
223. - The lotuses. Now.
- Stop. Please. I don't have them.
Copy !req
224. Lying. Unwise.
Copy !req
225. You killed them. Killed them for nothing.
Copy !req
226. - The lotuses are gone.
- The lotuses or your head. You choose.
Copy !req
227. - I told you I don't have them!
- It's to be the head then.
Copy !req
228. The old story is over.
Copy !req
229. We will write a new one together.
Copy !req
230. Don't ask, just drink it.
Copy !req
231. You saved me.
- I returned a favor.
Copy !req
232. Two favors. Finish it.
Copy !req
233. There's a Dragon Knight Redoubt
a few miles from here.
Copy !req
234. We'll push through in the morning.
Copy !req
235. Think you can handle
another night with me?
Copy !req
236. - Is that a no, or a yes?
- I…
Copy !req
237. I saw things. In the cave. In the snow.
Copy !req
238. - Yeah. Big, ugly, bad breath.
- No. Worse. People.
Copy !req
239. People transformed
into monstrous things by…
Copy !req
240. I don't know. Those were people
that we killed back there.
Copy !req
241. Or used to be.
Copy !req
242. And you think…
You think that's what I am.
Copy !req
243. - What I'll become.
- No, it's the opposite.
Copy !req
244. You become something I cannot name.
Copy !req
245. A demon, a dragon, who can say?
But underneath it's still you.
Copy !req
246. I still see you.
Copy !req
247. Watch over me while I sleep.
Copy !req
248. There are monsters about.
Copy !req
