1. Goddess.
Copy !req
2. Luna, your fear calls to me.
Copy !req
3. Only my rage, Goddess.
Copy !req
4. The lotuses are gone.
Copy !req
5. You are afraid of a story.
Copy !req
6. It makes you angry.
Copy !req
7. But if it is more than a story…
Copy !req
8. A prophecy.
Copy !req
9. I was there, Luna.
Copy !req
10. History becomes myth
as it is retold time and again.
Copy !req
11. Meaning given to events that had none.
Copy !req
12. Promises from fathers of failure
become prophecy.
Copy !req
13. All born of bedtime stories for children.
Copy !req
14. Princess Mirana was exiled
for her failure.
Copy !req
15. I have come home
from my search empty-handed.
Copy !req
16. Mirana was not exiled.
She made a choice.
Copy !req
17. Her journey is not your own.
Copy !req
18. The theft of the lotuses is a grave crime.
Copy !req
19. It cost us a great deal.
Copy !req
20. But you should have faith.
Copy !req
21. Ugh, at last.
It's good to be out of the wind.
Copy !req
22. Your arm.
Copy !req
23. Didn't notice.
Copy !req
24. Let me wrap that.
Copy !req
25. There's a stable with horse rugs
that should fit Sagan.
Copy !req
26. There we are.
Copy !req
27. Dragon's Fire Whiskey.
Copy !req
28. It's no Icewrack White,
but it'll warm you up.
Copy !req
29. Yeah,
that's why they call it Dragon's Fire.
Copy !req
30. I surmised.
Copy !req
31. Listen. If you, uh, you know, talk,
uh, I'm here.
Copy !req
32. Nice hot meal. Sleep.
You'll be ready to go in no time.
Copy !req
33. No time at all.
Copy !req
34. Company.
Copy !req
35. Kaden.
Copy !req
36. You found that here. In the cold.
Copy !req
37. Crimson and gold are acting strange.
Copy !req
38. Easier to hunt, harder to kill.
Copy !req
39. You don't make it look hard.
Copy !req
40. The armor.
Every piece, forged from dragon.
Copy !req
41. The older the better.
Adult. I took his strength.
Copy !req
42. Adult?
Copy !req
43. An adult must have taken half the order
to bring down.
Copy !req
44. Hm.
Copy !req
45. Only me.
Copy !req
46. Didn't expect to see anyone here.
Guessing you heard from Bram, my squire.
Copy !req
47. Sent him to Dragon Hold.
Copy !req
48. Sent from where?
Copy !req
49. Barrowhaven. Clearing a wyrmling nest.
Copy !req
50. Thought I found an Eldwyrm.
Copy !req
51. Did you think or did you find?
Copy !req
52. We… No. We didn't find it.
Copy !req
53. The lady doesn't approve.
Copy !req
54. I'm sorry?
Copy !req
55. I know the face. The look.
Copy !req
56. Thinking, "This poor animal."
Copy !req
57. Do you know what he would do to you
in the wild?
Copy !req
58. His bite melts flesh.
Cooks the blood in your veins.
Copy !req
59. Keeps you alive and screaming.
Strong men beg for death.
Copy !req
60. A Dragon Knight honors his enemy.
Copy !req
61. But we can never forget what they are.
Copy !req
62. Killing machines.
Copy !req
63. I, uh… I'm going to check on Marci.
Copy !req
64. Davion, wait!
Copy !req
65. Not now.
Copy !req
66. You lied to him.
Copy !req
67. It's worse than that.
Copy !req
68. I wanted to fight him.
Copy !req
69. Fight him?
Copy !req
70. It's crazy, I know.
Copy !req
71. Something about seeing him
with that wyrmling in his hands.
Copy !req
72. On that hook.
Copy !req
73. You wanted to go back to Dragon Hold
to speak with someone exactly like him.
Copy !req
74. This is your chance.
Copy !req
75. He wouldn't understand any of this.
Copy !req
76. You mean you're afraid he won't.
Copy !req
77. Hm, I thought Davion the Dragon Knight
wasn't afraid of anything.
Copy !req
78. How old were you when you learned
to step from shadow to shadow?
Copy !req
79. Childhood's end.
Copy !req
80. Hm. Any variations in the power
of this ability?
Copy !req
81. Night.
Copy !req
82. Full moons.
Copy !req
83. With my family.
Copy !req
84. Interesting. Do the seasons…
Copy !req
85. Knowing this will help bring Mene back.
Copy !req
86. Are you always so emotional?
Copy !req
87. I had a dream last night.
Copy !req
88. Would you like to write that down?
Copy !req
89. - Tell me.
- It was dark.
Copy !req
90. I heard Mene's name over and over.
Copy !req
91. My pod. My family. We worshiped. We loved.
Copy !req
92. I saw their faces.
Copy !req
93. Dyfed, Idwal, Adara.
Copy !req
94. They smiled.
Copy !req
95. Then I woke.
Copy !req
96. Alone in a tower.
Copy !req
97. All these books. All this magic.
You understand nothing.
Copy !req
98. What am I supposed to do with this?
Copy !req
99. Understand everything.
Copy !req
100. Is it the food or the company?
Copy !req
101. - I'm sorry?
You're not eating.
Copy !req
102. It was a difficult trip up the mountain.
Copy !req
103. For you, then. Dragon scale tips.
Copy !req
104. These should ease the trip down.
Copy !req
105. Thank you.
Copy !req
106. I imagine you didn't come
all the way out here to hunt wyrmlings.
Copy !req
107. Settling a debt. My dragon debt.
Copy !req
108. Dragon debt?
Copy !req
109. A debt with dragons.
Copy !req
110. Not dragons. Men.
Copy !req
111. It was almost 20 years ago.
Copy !req
112. Thirty of us to the city of Leathsham.
Copy !req
113. Nice town. Wyrmling sightings.
Copy !req
114. Feared it might mean an adult dragon,
we weren't taking any chances.
Copy !req
115. Kept a journal then,
was worried about a girl.
Copy !req
116. Or some nonsense.
Copy !req
117. Then the sky tore open.
A streak of fire. Looked like day.
Copy !req
118. Looked like hell.
Copy !req
119. Worries over girls
were lost in that flame.
Copy !req
120. Bravery and training marched us forward,
Copy !req
121. into the maw of death.
Copy !req
122. We didn't know, couldn't know
until we saw him
Copy !req
123. in the light of his own fire.
Copy !req
124. Red scales shifted in the moonlight.
Copy !req
125. The size of him.
Copy !req
126. Couldn't understand it, how he could move.
Copy !req
127. Then his mouth opened.
Copy !req
128. Pain came out of it.
Copy !req
129. Death came out of it.
Copy !req
130. Smoke from burning flesh fogged the air.
Copy !req
131. Felt the captain's hand on my leg.
Copy !req
132. I stumbled backward,
Copy !req
133. and I saw nothing left of him
from below the chest.
Copy !req
134. The man had taught me to fight,
just pulp now.
Copy !req
135. Thirty men rode to Leathsham.
Copy !req
136. One rode back.
Copy !req
137. I rode back.
Copy !req
138. So, yes. I'm hunting something larger
than wyrmlings.
Copy !req
139. I'm hunting Slyrak.
Copy !req
140. After nearly 20 years,
I finally found his lair.
Copy !req
141. It was empty. The beast was gone.
Copy !req
142. I followed his trail through the earth.
Copy !req
143. Took me to a mountain
outside of Barrowhaven.
Copy !req
144. Nice town.
Copy !req
145. Didn't find Slyrak.
Found a dead dragon. Found a dead man.
Copy !req
146. And I found this. Yours.
Copy !req
147. You went down into that cave,
and you weren't prepared for what you saw.
Copy !req
148. You ran, and you are ashamed.
Copy !req
149. Don't be.
Copy !req
150. I've seen up close
what just one Eldwyrm can do
Copy !req
151. to an entire company of Dragon Knights.
Copy !req
152. One man, one unprepared man,
has no hope of victory.
Copy !req
153. But to kill Slyrak,
I need to know what you saw.
Copy !req
154. When I woke up, I was naked.
Everything was gone. Even this.
Copy !req
155. That's all I can remember.
I need your help.
Copy !req
156. We made a sacred oath.
Copy !req
157. Dragon Knights.
Copy !req
158. Brothers. You will have my help.
Copy !req
159. I promise.
Copy !req
160. I knew he would help you.
You're in good hands.
Copy !req
161. I've been in good hands.
Copy !req
162. We both have.
Copy !req
163. Still have that whiskey?
We should celebrate.
Copy !req
164. I suppose I do.
And I suppose you're right.
Copy !req
165. Damn right, I'm right.
Besides, big day tomorrow.
Copy !req
166. Killing dragons, possibly being a dragon
and getting killed.
Copy !req
167. So, let's drink.
Copy !req
168. - What?
- So that's what this is all about?
Copy !req
169. Uh, not following.
Copy !req
170. The smile. The drink.
Copy !req
171. You and me. Covering.
Copy !req
172. You're being "Davion
the fucking Dragon Knight
Copy !req
173. what killed the fucking dragon."
Copy !req
174. Stop it.
Copy !req
175. I am Davion the…
Copy !req
176. Stop. Take off the armor.
Copy !req
177. It's all right to be human.
Copy !req
178. I'm human all the time.
Copy !req
179. See? Human.
Copy !req
180. Right. You know, let's just not.
Copy !req
181. Tell me what you want me to say.
Copy !req
182. Start with what I can see.
Copy !req
183. You're not eating.
You're confused. A wreck.
Copy !req
184. You're on home ground with your hero,
and you should feel safe.
Copy !req
185. You should feel better.
But you feel worse.
Copy !req
186. So you hide.
Copy !req
187. You, Princess Mirana,
Copy !req
188. are gonna lecture me about hiding.
Copy !req
189. Every night when I go to sleep
and every morning when I wake,
Copy !req
190. I wonder who I am.
Copy !req
191. I used to know.
I used to make sense. I was…
Copy !req
192. No.
Copy !req
193. The cave. I saw horrors.
Copy !req
194. Worshiping a strange red rock.
Copy !req
195. Otherworldly.
Copy !req
196. Powerful. I felt it. Heard it.
Copy !req
197. Promising to fill the hole in me.
It was madness.
Copy !req
198. But it was also an answer.
Copy !req
199. And I was ready to let it be the answer.
Copy !req
200. Then I realized.
It was just a place to hide.
Copy !req
201. And now, I want a drink. Company.
Copy !req
202. And a better answer than madness.
Copy !req
203. I'm not a better answer.
I'm not even a different answer.
Copy !req
204. You don't get to decide that for me.
Copy !req
205. Sleep well, Dragon Knight.
I'll see you when you wake.
Copy !req
206. Selemene.
Copy !req
207. Crescent light upon you.
Copy !req
208. May your moon always be full.
Copy !req
209. Do you love me?
Copy !req
210. You are the light
that shines behind my eyes.
Copy !req
211. Mm, worship me.
Copy !req
212. No one will worship you more.
Copy !req
213. Do you love me?
Copy !req
214. Save me! Please, Goddess!
Copy !req
215. Do you love me?
Copy !req
216. Goddess, please!
Copy !req
217. I love you!
Copy !req
218. Please!
Copy !req
219. A thousand years and these people
still don't know who you really are.
Copy !req
220. Her soul has already returned
to the Material Plane.
Copy !req
221. She will have no memory of this
and know only renewed,
Copy !req
222. intense love for me.
Copy !req
223. I don't see the harm.
Copy !req
224. You never do.
Copy !req
225. I know you have the lotuses.
Copy !req
226. I know that's how you came to be here.
Copy !req
227. What I don't know is why.
Copy !req
228. To end this. You can have the lotuses.
Copy !req
229. I only want one thing.
Copy !req
230. Anything.
Copy !req
231. To let the past be the past.
Copy !req
232. To forgive you.
Copy !req
233. To say goodbye.
Copy !req
234. Say goodbye?
Copy !req
235. To whom would I say goodbye?
Copy !req
236. You don't even have a name anymore.
Copy !req
237. What cannot be named, cannot be known.
Copy !req
238. What cannot be known, cannot be harmed.
Copy !req
239. Or loved.
Copy !req
240. A shame.
Copy !req
241. Not to know the only being
who ever saw me for who I truly am.
Copy !req
242. I loved you once.
Copy !req
243. Once.
Copy !req
244. I could love you again.
Copy !req
245. Selemene. That's not…
Copy !req
246. Do you love me?
Copy !req
247. Nothing…
Copy !req
248. Nothing.
Copy !req
249. I am nothing.
Copy !req
250. Kaden?
Copy !req
251. Davion?
Copy !req
252. Davion!
Copy !req
253. Kaden! What the hell are you doing?
Copy !req
254. Kaden!
Copy !req
255. Kaden?
Copy !req
256. Ionic dragon. They can't lie.
Copy !req
257. Now you can't either.
Copy !req
258. Where are you?
Copy !req
259. Show yourself.
Copy !req
260. I don't understand!
Copy !req
261. Not you, brother. Him.
Copy !req
262. Slyrak.
Copy !req
263. He's gone! He's dead!
Copy !req
264. He's not!
Copy !req
265. Where are you, coward?
Copy !req
266. Here.
Copy !req
267. Hiding in this boy.
Traveling.
Copy !req
268. Traveling where? Tell me.
Copy !req
269. Little mouse. Smells of fear.
Copy !req
270. I watch mountains drown in oceans.
Copy !req
271. Where I go, no man can travel.
Copy !req
272. Come out and follow me to your death.
Copy !req
273. You seek my destruction.
Your vengeance will not be quenched,
Copy !req
274. nor will your glory be sung through time
for there will be no one to sing it.
Copy !req
275. Once released from corporal fetters,
Copy !req
276. time, space, the Manifold Forms,
Copy !req
277. the pillars of order and chaos dissolve.
Copy !req
278. What awaits the endless universes
is a destruction
Copy !req
279. with no hope of regeneration.
Copy !req
280. Absence of nothing.
You know not what you are up against.
Copy !req
281. Twenty years preparing for this. For you.
Copy !req
282. Empires burn beneath my breath,
little mouse.
Copy !req
283. Armies become ashes.
Copy !req
284. An army against you dies screaming.
Copy !req
285. I don't need an army or a dragon adult.
Copy !req
286. The bigger you are, the harder it hits.
Copy !req
287. I remember you.
Copy !req
288. I remember what your friends tasted like.
Copy !req
289. I remember the smell of their fear.
Copy !req
290. Lucky little mouse ran away,
and that's the truth.
Copy !req
291. I remember the smell too.
Copy !req
292. Can't forget. Won't. I'm out of questions.
Copy !req
293. Twenty fucking years.
Copy !req
294. Nothing to me.
Copy !req
295. Twenty fucking years and 29 fucking souls.
Copy !req
296. You think I'm not prepared for this?
Copy !req
297. You can't hit a Chaos dragon either.
Copy !req
298. Goddess.
Copy !req
299. There you are, you son of a bitch.
Copy !req
300. Marci! Sagan!
Copy !req
301. He's gone.
Copy !req
302. How did it all go so wrong?
Copy !req
303. You abandoned me.
Copy !req
304. Hm.
Copy !req
305. I abandoned you.
Copy !req
306. But I am a gracious goddess.
Copy !req
307. I forgive you.
Copy !req
308. And her?
Copy !req
309. Do you forgive her?
Copy !req
310. Don't.
Copy !req
311. I watched, helplessly.
Copy !req
312. As a child, our child wilted away.
Copy !req
313. Please. It is done.
Copy !req
314. Come back to me.
Copy !req
315. Say her name. And I am yours.
Copy !req
316. She was your daughter.
Copy !req
317. Gone.
Copy !req
318. All of your forgotten children hate you.
Copy !req
319. The elves rise.
Copy !req
320. A secret army, an Elven Legion,
emerging from every enclave in the world.
Copy !req
321. And I have the lotuses.
Copy !req
322. You can't.
Copy !req
323. You wouldn't.
Copy !req
324. You wouldn't save her.
Copy !req
325. And you can't save yourself.
Copy !req
326. The girl. What happened to her?
What happened to…
Copy !req
327. Is it true?
Copy !req
328. Goddess.
Copy !req
329. I showed them mercy for a thousand years!
Copy !req
330. Gave them peace!
Copy !req
331. In exchange, they allow dissension
and malice to fester within their ranks!
Copy !req
332. I could be everything to them,
and yet they choose eternal nothing!
Copy !req
333. - Who?
- The elves! The enclaves!
Copy !req
334. A waking dream
of their Dark Moon Apocalypse!
Copy !req
335. You said it was just a story.
Copy !req
336. Their intentions are real,
and now so is the threat.
Copy !req
337. Moonlight has shined down on them
for so long
Copy !req
338. they have forgotten it is mine to give.
Copy !req
339. You will be my searing reminder.
Take the Dark Moon Order.
Copy !req
340. Burn out the impurities
that survive inside the enclaves.
Copy !req
341. Return them to my embrace.
Copy !req
342. The Order has not left
the Nightsilver Woods
Copy !req
343. for a thousand years.
Copy !req
344. And it leaves for the same purpose
as it did then.
Copy !req
345. The Goddess of the Moon is going to war.
Copy !req
