1. Not bad.Copy !req
2. But not good enough to live.Copy !req
3. Mind if I sit down?
I don't have your energy.Copy !req
4. Fight with your head.Copy !req
5. Not your heart.Copy !req
6. Straight.Copy !req
7. Better, Einon.Copy !req
8. But you're still dead.Copy !req
9. Purpose, not passion.Copy !req
10. Aaah!Copy !req
11. Ooh!Copy !req
12. No one ever found victory
in the dirt.Copy !req
13. The peasants are revolting.Copy !req
14. They've always been revoltin', Prince.Copy !req
15. But now they're rebellin'.Copy !req
16. King Freyne wants his son
to witness his noble victory.Copy !req
17. There's nothing noble
about crushing desperate men.Copy !req
18. They're traitorous scum!Copy !req
19. The king commands!
Bring him!Copy !req
20. You can come, too, nursemaid.Copy !req
21. Ha!Copy !req
22. Die, you dog!Copy !req
23. - I wish we were down there.
- No, you don't.Copy !req
24. Yes, I do. Just to see you
in action, Bowen.Copy !req
25. Yours would be
the finest blade on the field.Copy !req
26. My blade was not made
for your father's slaughter.Copy !req
27. He is my father, Bowen,
and he is the king.Copy !req
28. Yes.Copy !req
29. But when you are king,
remember today...Copy !req
30. and the difference
between battle and butchery.Copy !req
31. And remember the Old Code.Copy !req
32. Then you'll be a greater king
than your father.Copy !req
33. I promise, Knight,Copy !req
34. I will be greater.Copy !req
35. Ya! Ya!Copy !req
36. Ya! Ya!Copy !req
37. Freyne!Copy !req
38. - Now, Hewe, now!Copy !req
39. - He's trapped!
- Einon!Copy !req
40. Einon!Copy !req
41. - Einon, no!Copy !req
42. Ya!Copy !req
43. Aaah!Copy !req
44. Enough! Enough!Copy !req
45. The battle's out there!Copy !req
46. Father?Copy !req
47. Die! It's mine!Copy !req
48. Aaah!Copy !req
49. Einon! Einon!Copy !req
50. I'm here, Einon!Copy !req
51. I'm here, my king.Copy !req
52. Dead, Madame.Copy !req
53. King Freyne,
your husband, slain.Copy !req
54. In here!Copy !req
55. - Aaah!
- In here, on the bed.Copy !req
56. Aaah!Copy !req
57. - Aaah!
- Einon!Copy !req
58. Get out! Out!
Out! Brok, out!Copy !req
59. You stay, Bowen.Copy !req
60. Forgive me, Queen Aislinn.Copy !req
61. There's nothing to forgive.Copy !req
62. His father's tyranny
brought him to this end.Copy !req
63. Aaah! Aaah!Copy !req
64. He's beyond all help.Copy !req
65. Not all.Copy !req
66. A knight is sworn to valor.Copy !req
67. Sworn to valor.Copy !req
68. - His heart knows only virtue.
- Virtue.Copy !req
69. - His blade defends the helpless.Copy !req
70. His might upholds the weak.Copy !req
71. You must stay awake, my son!Copy !req
72. - You must stay awake.
Repeat the Code.
- The Code.Copy !req
73. His might upholds the weak.Copy !req
74. H-His word speaks only truth.Copy !req
75. His wrath—Copy !req
76. Undoes the wicked.Copy !req
77. Brok, stay there.Copy !req
78. Lord! Great one!Copy !req
79. Your song is sad!Copy !req
80. Are the stars shining tonight?Copy !req
81. No. No bright souls
glitter in this darkness.Copy !req
82. Leave us. Go.Copy !req
83. Aislinn, daughter of the Celts.Copy !req
84. Whose people loved your kind
and called you friend.Copy !req
85. Ah, the king's son,Copy !req
86. cruel and full of trickery.Copy !req
87. - Is this why you've come,
dragonslayer's wife?
- Dragonslayer's widow!Copy !req
88. This boy is not his father.Copy !req
89. This knight here is his mentor.
He has taught him the Old Code.Copy !req
90. I need your help.Copy !req
91. The wound is deep.Copy !req
92. You know what you ask.Copy !req
93. I will teach him your ways.Copy !req
94. He will grow in your grace.
He will grow just and good.Copy !req
95. I swear.Copy !req
96. No! The boy must swear.
Give me your sword, Knight.Copy !req
97. Your sword!Copy !req
98. Do not be afraid.
He can save you.Copy !req
99. Now listen to me, boy.Copy !req
100. Swear that your father's
blood lust and tyranny died with him.Copy !req
101. Swear that you will live
and rule with mercy.Copy !req
102. Come to me
and learn the Once-ways.Copy !req
103. Now swear!Copy !req
104. I swear.Copy !req
105. Einon!Copy !req
106. Einon!Copy !req
107. He's dead!Copy !req
108. Peace, Knight of the Old Code.Copy !req
109. Witness the wonders
of an ancient glory.Copy !req
110. Half my heart
to make you whole.Copy !req
111. lts strength
to purify your weakness.Copy !req
112. Live, and remember your oath.Copy !req
113. I served the father only
for the sake of the son.Copy !req
114. All my hopes rest on him.Copy !req
115. Forgive a doubting fool.Copy !req
116. Call when you need of me.
Ask what you will of me.Copy !req
117. My sword, my service are yours.Copy !req
118. Only remind him
always of his vow,Copy !req
119. Knight of the Old Code.Copy !req
120. Brok.Copy !req
121. Your Majesty?Copy !req
122. The Romans built
this great fortress.Copy !req
123. I will rebuild it,
and mine will be greater.Copy !req
124. It will take many men, my Lord,
to rebuild this ruin.Copy !req
125. Yes.Copy !req
126. Yes, it will.Copy !req
127. Not so rebellious now.Copy !req
128. You should thank me, boy.
It was my stroke made you king.Copy !req
129. No, Brok, I want no martyrs.Copy !req
130. Death should be a release,
not a punishment.Copy !req
131. Look good, dog.Copy !req
132. I'm the last thing
you'll ever see.Copy !req
133. Burn the insolence
out of his eyes.Copy !req
134. No! No!
Not my eyes! No!Copy !req
135. - Father!Copy !req
136. Run!Copy !req
137. How dare you defy me!Copy !req
138. Einon, you're unwell.
You've been bewitched.Copy !req
139. Look at this!
It's madness!Copy !req
140. - Remember the Code!
- The king is above the Code!Copy !req
141. Have you forgotten
everything I taught you?Copy !req
142. No one is above the Code,Copy !req
143. especially the king.Copy !req
144. Ya! Ya!Copy !req
145. Dragon, I loved that boy,
and you changed him!Copy !req
146. You tricked me, Dragon!Copy !req
147. No matter where you fly,Copy !req
148. no matter where you go,
I will find you!Copy !req
149. Today I make a new vow!Copy !req
150. I will spend the rest of my life
hunting you down!Copy !req
151. Avalon, oh, Avalon.Copy !req
152. For you I quest each day,Copy !req
153. the resting place of Arthur...Copy !req
154. and the Old Code of his way.Copy !req
155. And when I find
those holy stones,Copy !req
156. I'll pray, I'll pray, I'll pray.Copy !req
157. Oh, Avalon, bright Avalon,Copy !req
158. think me not a fool.Copy !req
159. My quest is not for vanity,
my quest is spiritual.Copy !req
160. - Spiritual!Copy !req
161. Merlin, spiritual!Copy !req
162. Whoa! Merlin!Copy !req
163. Merlin! Ow!Copy !req
164. - Everyone's a critic!Copy !req
165. - Dragon, dragon.
- Yes, I know. Where?Copy !req
166. - There, there.
- Ya! Ya!Copy !req
167. Get back here, horse.
You coward.Copy !req
168. Marvelous! Heroics befitting the days
of Arthur and the Round Table!Copy !req
169. Never have I seen such skill!Copy !req
170. Then you must have lived
the sheltered life...Copy !req
171. of a mon— monk.Copy !req
172. Why, yes. A scribe, scholar,
historian and poet.Copy !req
173. Your servant, sir,
Brother Gilbert of Glockenspur.Copy !req
174. My humble life is in debt
to your exalted prowess,Copy !req
175. your dauntless courage,
and your superb, swift sword.Copy !req
176. You have the poet's gift
of exaggeration.Copy !req
177. Sir, you should read
my histories.Copy !req
178. But you belittle your talent.
Modesty as well as valor.Copy !req
179. The Code of ancient Camelot
still lives.Copy !req
180. Hardly worthy of Camelot.
Still, it's one less dragon.Copy !req
181. Well done, Knight!
Congratulations.Copy !req
182. Our gratitude,
mine and King Einon's.Copy !req
183. Uh, you can keep your gratitude.
I'll take the gold.Copy !req
184. - Yours or the king's.
- Gold, Knight?Copy !req
185. We made a bargain, remember?
One dragon put down, one bag of gold.Copy !req
186. Your honor has a price,
Sir Knight?Copy !req
187. It has expenses.Copy !req
188. Honor won't feed my belly
nor shoe my horse.Copy !req
189. The priest is right.Copy !req
190. It is your duty to protect King Einon's
vassals as a knight of the realm.Copy !req
191. Not of this realm.
I bend no knee to Einon.Copy !req
192. I should have known.
Foreign riffraff!Copy !req
193. Well, begone, vagabond,
before I arrest you!Copy !req
194. Back to work, you scum!Copy !req
195. if King Einon's wheat
isn't cut before the rain,Copy !req
196. I'll do a little cutting
of my own!Copy !req
197. Sir Knight!
Sir Knight, wait!Copy !req
198. Sir Knight!Copy !req
199. Hear me out!Copy !req
200. I'm on a pilgrimage.
Might we travel together?Copy !req
201. The road's still free,
unless Einon's taxed it.Copy !req
202. A road tax, King Einon. Hmm?Copy !req
203. A road tax.Copy !req
204. They are your roads, after all.Copy !req
205. People really ought to pay
for the privilege of using them.Copy !req
206. - And those that can't pay
will have to work it off.
- lngenious, Felton.Copy !req
207. Only you could keep such a good brain
under such a bad hat.Copy !req
208. That's very good,"bad hat."Copy !req
209. Out of my way, peacock.Copy !req
210. Brok, some are good at hunting men,
some are good at hunting money.Copy !req
211. Both have value for me.Copy !req
212. Kara?Copy !req
213. Kara, I told you—Copy !req
214. - I told you not to come here anymore.
- I'm a disobedient child.Copy !req
215. Go on. Take a drink.
Go on.Copy !req
216. Magnificent shot, Your Highness!Copy !req
217. - Care to double the wager?
- Ah, yes, happily.Copy !req
218. Shall we say the water bucket?Copy !req
219. Stand still.
Stand still.Copy !req
220. Superb!Copy !req
221. Double again?Copy !req
222. Double again. Why not?Copy !req
223. I say.Copy !req
224. A moving target.Copy !req
225. Peasant scum.Copy !req
226. You've got a nerve,
interfering with the king's sport!Copy !req
227. There's no sport
in tormenting a sick, old man.Copy !req
228. I beg Your Majesty,
let him go.Copy !req
229. It's been 12 years.
Your castle is built.Copy !req
230. He can do you no more harm.Copy !req
231. For God's sake, release him.Copy !req
232. - Aaah!Copy !req
233. Father!Copy !req
234. I've always said death is a release,
not a punishment.Copy !req
235. - Go.Copy !req
236. - Ya!Copy !req
237. Kara.Copy !req
238. Yoo-hoo!
Yoo-hoo!Copy !req
239. I've decided to compose
"The Ballad of Bowen" !Copy !req
240. - How do you prefer
I should write this?
- Far away!Copy !req
241. Oh, don't concern yourself
with my safety!Copy !req
242. I mean verse, meter.Copy !req
243. Shall I spice it up
with a poetical flourish,Copy !req
244. or just the cold, hard facts?Copy !req
245. if you do not be quiet,Copy !req
246. you and I shall be the only things
that are cold and hard around here.Copy !req
247. I mean, it's all very well to go
hacking and whacking at dragons.Copy !req
248. But if a dragon falls in the
forest and nobody gets to hear
about it, does it make a thud?Copy !req
249. - Brother Gilbert.
- What?Copy !req
250. Shh!Copy !req
251. The quill is mightier than the s—Copy !req
252. Ooh.Copy !req
253. The quill is mightier than the—
Aaah! Aaah! Aaah!Copy !req
254. That's all that's left
of the last dragonslayer...Copy !req
255. who tangled with me!Copy !req
256. if I were you,
I'd quit while I was ahead.Copy !req
257. Aaah!Copy !req
258. - Ha!
- Yah!Copy !req
259. Is that the best you can do?Copy !req
260. Catch!Copy !req
261. You know, I've got quite
a collection of victims in here.Copy !req
262. I won't be added to it!Copy !req
263. I've given you
my final warning.Copy !req
264. lnto the mouth of death he strode.Copy !req
265. lnto the gringy gloom.Copy !req
266. lnto the pit of fear unknown,Copy !req
267. perhaps to court his doom.Copy !req
268. That was good.Copy !req
269. What did I say?
What did I say?Copy !req
270. - Aaah!Copy !req
271. A little damp for fire,
isn't it?Copy !req
272. Why must you knight-errants
out to make a name for yourselves...Copy !req
273. always pick on us dragons?Copy !req
274. I don't need a name!Copy !req
275. And I have a collection of my own!Copy !req
276. Yeah? You're one
who kills dragons for money.Copy !req
277. It's honest enough work.Copy !req
278. One must earn a living.Copy !req
279. Oh, yes, one must live.Copy !req
280. Well, since you seek a profit,
we might as well begin.Copy !req
281. Oh, don't flatter yourself.Copy !req
282. It's not the profit.
It's the pleasure.Copy !req
283. Perhaps less pleasurable
and more costly than you think!Copy !req
284. Bowen! Bowen, take care!Copy !req
285. He went that way!Copy !req
286. Take care, Bowen!Copy !req
287. Ya! Ya!Copy !req
288. Ya! Ya! Ya!Copy !req
289. Ya! Ya! Ya!Copy !req
290. - Aaah!Copy !req
291. Aaah!Copy !req
292. Aaah!Copy !req
293. Aaah! Aaah!Copy !req
294. Aaah!Copy !req
295. Ptew!
Aaah!Copy !req
296. Aaah!
Aaah!Copy !req
297. You can't fly forever!Copy !req
298. - Neither can you!
- Slow down!Copy !req
299. Come, visit the woods!Copy !req
300. Aaah!Copy !req
301. Whoa!Copy !req
302. Aaah! Aaah!Copy !req
303. Aaah! Aaah!Copy !req
304. Look out! Well done!Copy !req
305. - Ow!
- Pity. That must have hurt.Copy !req
306. - Yeah!
- Again?Copy !req
307. - Ow!
- And again?Copy !req
308. How do you like the ride so far?Copy !req
309. Aaah!Copy !req
310. We're earning our money now,
aren't we?Copy !req
311. Aaah!Copy !req
312. Now, is there somewhere you
would like me to drop you off?Copy !req
313. Aaah!Copy !req
314. - Aaah!
- Yikes!Copy !req
315. The sword against the fang and claw.
The flame against the shield.Copy !req
316. Blah, blah, blah,
which one would win?Copy !req
317. Blah, blah,
field, shield, wield.Copy !req
318. Whose flesh from bones
be peeled. Oh, no.Copy !req
319. Whose fate would soon be sealed.Copy !req
320. Whose fate would soon be sealed?Copy !req
321. Whose fate would soon be sealed!Copy !req
322. Oh, you're good. Haven't had
this sort of challenge in some time.Copy !req
323. Nor likely to again!Copy !req
324. Hee-yah!Copy !req
325. Aaah! Aaah!Copy !req
326. - Aaah!Copy !req
327. Aaah!Copy !req
328. Drat!Copy !req
329. A little overconfident, aren't we?Copy !req
330. Hardly. But if you win,
you'll be out of work.Copy !req
331. I will not stop until I've rid the world
of every last one of you.Copy !req
332. I am the last one!Copy !req
333. You're just trying to save
your scaly hide with tricks.Copy !req
334. Haven't you noticed the pickings
are rather slim these days?Copy !req
335. I got me one just the other day.Copy !req
336. So it was you who
killed the Scarred One.
She and I were the last.Copy !req
337. Must've been a proud kill, warrior.Copy !req
338. How much gold did her tattered carcass
put in your purse?Copy !req
339. That's none of your business.Copy !req
340. Couldn't have been very much.
And you'll kill me for sport?Copy !req
341. And when there are
no more dragons to slay,Copy !req
342. how will you make
a living, Knight?Copy !req
343. Shut up!Copy !req
344. Whoa!Copy !req
345. if your teeth come down, my sword
goes up, right into your brain!Copy !req
346. - if your sword goes up,
my teeth come down!Copy !req
347. lnto the moonlit night
the titans dueled,Copy !req
348. in mortal combat bound.Copy !req
349. Oh, who'd the fatal
false step make?Copy !req
350. Whose blood
would stain the ground?Copy !req
351. Oh, good Lord.
Sir Eglamore.Copy !req
352. Oh, thank you very much.Copy !req
353. It's been stuck down there
for months.Copy !req
354. Can you get your buttocks
off my tongue?Copy !req
355. Why should you
be comfortable?Copy !req
356. My armor is rusting in your drool,
and your breath is absolutely foul.Copy !req
357. Well, what do you expect,Copy !req
358. with old knights
rotting between my molars?Copy !req
359. Oh, God, my mouth is so dry.Copy !req
360. No, no, no, stop!Copy !req
361. No, stop!Copy !req
362. - Sorry about that.Copy !req
363. It seems we're in a bit
of a stalemate, wouldn't you say?Copy !req
364. Yuck! But I can go
three days without sleep.Copy !req
365. I can go three weeks.Copy !req
366. Ooh! I'll stab you
before I nod off.Copy !req
367. And I'll chomp you.
Marvelous, we'll kill each other.Copy !req
368. - What do you suggest?
- A truce.Copy !req
369. Get out of my mouth
and let's talk face-to-face.Copy !req
370. How do I know I can trust you?Copy !req
371. I give you my word.Copy !req
372. The word of a dragon.
It's worthless.Copy !req
373. Stubborn lout!Copy !req
374. Aaah!Copy !req
375. I should have known!Copy !req
376. - Go on. Kill me!Copy !req
377. I don't want to kill you!
I never did!Copy !req
378. And I don't want you to kill me!Copy !req
379. How do we gain?Copy !req
380. if you win, you lose a trade.Copy !req
381. if I win, I wait around
for the next sword slinger...Copy !req
382. thirsting to carve a reputation
out of my hide.Copy !req
383. And I'm tired of lurking in holes...Copy !req
384. and skulking in darkness.Copy !req
385. I'm gonna let you up now.Copy !req
386. And if you insist,Copy !req
387. we can pursue this fracas
to its final stupidity.Copy !req
388. Or you can listen
to my alternative.Copy !req
389. Hmm?Copy !req
390. What's the alternative?Copy !req
391. - Father, Father, look!Copy !req
392. Dragon!Copy !req
393. Out of the way!
Out of the way!Copy !req
394. Out of the way!Copy !req
395. Pesky critters, dragons.Copy !req
396. You!Copy !req
397. Like big rats.
You never seem to get rid of them.Copy !req
398. Unless you pay me
two bags of gold, in advance.Copy !req
399. Come on, Dragon.Copy !req
400. - Come on, Dragon.Copy !req
401. Yes!Copy !req
402. Ow!Copy !req
403. - Hmm.Copy !req
404. Hello.Copy !req
405. Twenty-eight, twenty-nine.Copy !req
406. Most profitable, Dragon.
I should have met you a long time ago.Copy !req
407. There is much gold in the world.Copy !req
408. Perhaps when you've had your fill of it,
you'll no longer need me.Copy !req
409. I am a Knight of the Old Code.
My word is my bond.Copy !req
410. - No compunctions then?
- About what?Copy !req
411. Well, such deception hardly befits
a Knight of the Old Code.Copy !req
412. Fleecing Einon's lackeys.
That's a service to mankind.Copy !req
413. Is it?Copy !req
414. When you squeeze the nobility,
it's the peasants who feel the pinch.Copy !req
415. That's not my concern.Copy !req
416. Why should I stick my neck out
for people afraid to risk their own?Copy !req
417. Don't clutter up
a clever scheme with morality.Copy !req
418. Mmm, so be it,Copy !req
419. Knight of the Old Code.Copy !req
420. if I wanted my conscience pricked,
I would have stayed with the priest!Copy !req
421. Huh! And what does a dragon
know of the Old Code, anyway?Copy !req
422. His blade defends the helpless.Copy !req
423. His might upholds the weak.
His word speaks only truth.Copy !req
424. Shut up! I remember.Copy !req
425. That's all it is, a memory.
Nothing can bring it back.Copy !req
426. You sound like one who tried.Copy !req
427. And failed.Copy !req
428. So I no longer try to change the world,
Dragon. I just try to get by in it.Copy !req
429. Yes, it's better than death,
I suppose.Copy !req
430. Oh, is it? I should think
you'd welcome death.Copy !req
431. You know, the last of your kind,
all your friends dead,
hunted wherever you go.Copy !req
432. Do you delight in reminding me?Copy !req
433. Yes, Knight,
I do long for death.Copy !req
434. But fear it.Copy !req
435. Why? Aside from your misery,
what's to lose?Copy !req
436. My soul.Copy !req
437. Finish him, Brok!Copy !req
438. Well, are you a man?Copy !req
439. Should he continue, Mother?Copy !req
440. Oh, the field belongs to the apparently
inexhaustible Sir Brok, my son.Copy !req
441. Aaah!Copy !req
442. - The quarry!Copy !req
443. First you beg mercy
for your father's fate,Copy !req
444. then you try to avenge it.Copy !req
445. Now, you'll share it.Copy !req
446. In your kingdom, Einon,
there are worse fates than death.Copy !req
447. I'll think one up for you.Copy !req
448. - Take her away.
- No! No!Copy !req
449. No! No!Copy !req
450. He killed my father!Copy !req
451. He killed my father!Copy !req
452. No!Copy !req
453. He killed my father!Copy !req
454. Aaah!Copy !req
455. I remember you now.Copy !req
456. I remember you.Copy !req
457. Your hair, like fire.Copy !req
458. You gave me this scar.Copy !req
459. Didn't you?Copy !req
460. l... owe... you.Copy !req
461. I can, uh—Copy !req
462. I really can.Copy !req
463. Aaah!Copy !req
464. Sorry, Bowen.
I hope you like it well done.Copy !req
465. You must have hated us very much.Copy !req
466. I hated one of you.Copy !req
467. These I killed because
I wanted to kill him.
But I never found him.Copy !req
468. I never will.
if you're the last, he must be dead.Copy !req
469. Oh, yes.Copy !req
470. Tell me, what was he like,Copy !req
471. this, uh, dragon
that you hated?Copy !req
472. He only had half a heart.Copy !req
473. But even that was enough
to pollute an innocent boy.Copy !req
474. Einon was no innocent!
He polluted the heart!Copy !req
475. How do you know that?Copy !req
476. How do you know that, Dragon?Copy !req
477. All dragons know that story.Copy !req
478. What was to be their hope
became their doom.Copy !req
479. A spoiled, ungrateful child was given
a great gift and destroyed it!Copy !req
480. No! I knew Einon.
I was his teacher.Copy !req
481. I taught him
the ways of honor, of right.Copy !req
482. Then he betrayed you...Copy !req
483. just as he betrayed
the dragon whose heart he broke.Copy !req
484. That's a lie, Dragon!Copy !req
485. Stop calling me"Dragon" !
I have a name.Copy !req
486. Well, what is it?Copy !req
487. You couldn't possibly pronounce it
in your tongue.Copy !req
488. - Try me.
- It's—Copy !req
489. Next time stab more flesh,
less cloth.Copy !req
490. I'll pierce your heart!Copy !req
491. You already did.Copy !req
492. A very special heart,
like no other.Copy !req
493. A black, withered thing
without pity.Copy !req
494. Then teach me.Copy !req
495. Pity me.Copy !req
496. I'll give you everything.Copy !req
497. Even power.Copy !req
498. You're so beautiful.Copy !req
499. Even power.Copy !req
500. Even a throne.Copy !req
501. Oh, dear.Copy !req
502. Thank you.
It's passed now.Copy !req
503. What was it?Copy !req
504. An old complaint
that acts up now and again.Copy !req
505. Forgive me if anything
I said, if I upset you.Copy !req
506. It wasn't you, not you.Copy !req
507. Don't be afraid.Copy !req
508. I won't let you suffer
the same fate as me.Copy !req
509. I've come to help you.Copy !req
510. This will bring you out
well below the castle walls.Copy !req
511. - Thank—Copy !req
512. You.Copy !req
513. Have you been watching over me
all night?Copy !req
514. I've been thinking.Copy !req
515. Yes? About what?Copy !req
516. Many things.
Mostly about what to call you.Copy !req
517. I think I've found you a name.Copy !req
518. You say that as though you reached up
and plucked it from the sky.Copy !req
519. I did.Copy !req
520. Up there.Copy !req
521. Do you see that group of stars?Copy !req
522. I know those stars very well.Copy !req
523. - Do you see the shape that they make?
- Mm-hmm, a dragon.Copy !req
524. Yes.Copy !req
525. They call it"Draco."Copy !req
526. - It means"dragon"
in the scholars' speech.Copy !req
527. So instead of calling me
"Dragon" in your tongue,Copy !req
528. you'll call me"Dragon"
in some other tongue.Copy !req
529. You're right.
It's silly.Copy !req
530. No. No, I would be honored
to be named after those stars.Copy !req
531. l— I truly would.Copy !req
532. Thank you, Bowen.Copy !req
533. Draco.Copy !req
534. Draco.Copy !req
535. Throw off the yoke
of Einon's oppression!Copy !req
536. - We must start to fight back!Copy !req
537. Your father sang that sour tune once,
and we did fight back.Copy !req
538. And once was enough!
We'll not dance to it again!Copy !req
539. No, Hewe, just cringe
like a dog under Einon's boot.Copy !req
540. At least a cringing dog's
a live one!Copy !req
541. Hey! Why waste good food
on bad rhetoric?Copy !req
542. - I speak the truth.Copy !req
543. Truth?
It's rarely inspiring, lass.Copy !req
544. And it never wins rebellions,Copy !req
545. but it will stretch necks,
if there is a neck...Copy !req
546. underneath that little mud pie.Copy !req
547. Ready or not, here I come!Copy !req
548. Dragon!Copy !req
549. It's Draco!Copy !req
550. About time.Copy !req
551. Mmm!Copy !req
552. It seems you people
are in need of a dragonslayer.Copy !req
553. Where is the lord responsible
for this village?Copy !req
554. Brok lives in a big house
about six miles away.Copy !req
555. But he'll only blame any damage on us
and pluck our pockets to pay for it.Copy !req
556. I won't pluck them as deeply.
I'll make you a fair offer.Copy !req
557. Take it, or leave him!Copy !req
558. Oh.Copy !req
559. It's enough you people
grovel to Einon.Copy !req
560. Will you be bullied by some broken-down,
blackmailing knight as well?Copy !req
561. That's right, you don't need me.Copy !req
562. Settle it yourself.Copy !req
563. Of course, there are other ways.Copy !req
564. Perhaps you'll part with...Copy !req
565. one of your precious daughters,
instead of gold.Copy !req
566. No!Copy !req
567. Dragons are partial
to maiden sacrifices, I hear.Copy !req
568. Don't do this!
Don't do this to me!Copy !req
569. I was born in this village!Copy !req
570. You knew my father!
You knew my mother!Copy !req
571. - Who's the girl?
- A nuisance. Get rid of her.Copy !req
572. - Why?
- They're trying to placate you
with a sacrifice.Copy !req
573. Now, whoever gave them
that bright idea?Copy !req
574. - Never mind. Just get rid of her!
- How?Copy !req
575. - Eat her!
- Oh, please! Yuck!Copy !req
576. Aren't we squeamish?
You ate Sir Eglamore, hypocrite.Copy !req
577. I merely chewed in self-defense,
but I never swallowed.Copy !req
578. lmprovise.Copy !req
579. All right, all right.Copy !req
580. He's coming! Quick!Copy !req
581. - Aaah!Copy !req
582. Aaah!Copy !req
583. ?Copy !req
584. ?Copy !req
585. You have a beautiful voice.Copy !req
586. Oh, thank you. We dragons
love to sing when we're happy.Copy !req
587. Well, you're not like
a dragon at all.Copy !req
588. Well, how many dragons
do you know?Copy !req
589. Well, you're the first.Copy !req
590. You should never listen
to minstrels' fancies.Copy !req
591. A dragon would never hurt a soul,
unless they tried to hurt him first.Copy !req
592. Really? Then why were you
in my village?Copy !req
593. Oh! The village!Copy !req
594. Yes, the village!
You remember the village?Copy !req
595. Leave him alone, you bully!
Run, Draco, fly! I'll hold him!Copy !req
596. - Pick on someone your own size!
- Where have you been?Copy !req
597. I'm truly sorry, Bowen.Copy !req
598. I've been distracted.Copy !req
599. Bowen, meet Kara.Copy !req
600. - You should have eaten her.
- Oh, don't get angry, Bowen.Copy !req
601. Why not?Copy !req
602. You left me high and dry.
I was worried to death!Copy !req
603. Worried? About me?Copy !req
604. Yes, about you!Copy !req
605. I had the whacker all set up.
Half the village is out there with me.Copy !req
606. We're searching the skies for you,
I don't know where you are.Copy !req
607. if you're coming back,
when you're coming back. You just—Copy !req
608. Disappear.Copy !req
609. Be careful!
He's coming!Copy !req
610. Well, well, well,
it can't be!Copy !req
611. But it is!Copy !req
612. My old mentor.
Still giving carving lessons?Copy !req
613. Get off your horse.
I'll give you one.Copy !req
614. Time's not been
kind to you, Bowen.Copy !req
615. - You should never have broke with me.
- It was you who broke with me!Copy !req
616. And yet you return to me
with this girl I lost.Copy !req
617. I think she wants to stay lost.Copy !req
618. Not her decision, I'm afraid!Copy !req
619. I'm ready for my lesson now, Knight.Copy !req
620. - Aaah!
- That's one lesson you never learned!Copy !req
621. Only expose your back
to a corpse!Copy !req
622. You are a corpse!Copy !req
623. You just don't know it!Copy !req
624. Lie down, Bowen!Copy !req
625. You're the sorry scrap
of dead worlds and dead beliefs.Copy !req
626. No! They were your beliefs!Copy !req
627. Never. Never mine.Copy !req
628. You said the words!
You spoke them from your heart!Copy !req
629. I vomited them up
because I couldn't stomach them!Copy !req
630. Because I knew it was
what you wanted to hear!Copy !req
631. Lies! Liar!
I taught you!Copy !req
632. You taught me to fight,
that's all!Copy !req
633. I took what I needed from you.Copy !req
634. You taught me to fight!Copy !req
635. Aaah!Copy !req
636. You taught me well.Copy !req
637. Ya! Ya! Ya!Copy !req
638. Who asked you to interfere?Copy !req
639. I had everything under control!Copy !req
640. Here, let me see.Copy !req
641. It's knitted well.Copy !req
642. You have a healer's touch, Kara.Copy !req
643. In a few days,
it'll be just another scar.Copy !req
644. And what's one more scar?Copy !req
645. To a knight, I mean.
I once knew a knight.Copy !req
646. He stood all alone
against an evil king...Copy !req
647. and even saved a rebel leader
from blinding.Copy !req
648. He must have had many scars.Copy !req
649. - That knight died
of his wounds long ago.
- That's too bad.Copy !req
650. His kind is badly missed
in this world.Copy !req
651. - That's the way
the wretched world is, girl.
- Doesn't have to be.Copy !req
652. Men like you could—
could lead others.Copy !req
653. You could give people
courage and hope.Copy !req
654. Hope? Even if you
could raise your army,Copy !req
655. do you think they'd stand a chance
against seasoned troops?Copy !req
656. Last time they tried
it was a massacre.Copy !req
657. - I remember. I was there.
- So was l.Copy !req
658. That rebel was my father.Copy !req
659. Let others stand with you. You'll see
this time the end will be different.Copy !req
660. What are you looking at?Copy !req
661. Myself, once upon a time.Copy !req
662. I'll see you in the village, Draco.Copy !req
663. That's easy for you to say.Copy !req
664. This time I'll collect the money,
and you can die.Copy !req
665. We can lose no more pigs
to this dragon.Copy !req
666. Wait!Copy !req
667. - This man is a fraud!Copy !req
668. It's her!Copy !req
669. This girl is a...
wandering idiot.Copy !req
670. She babbles nonsense.Copy !req
671. I'm telling you,
this knight is no dragonslayer.Copy !req
672. You're mistaken, my child!Copy !req
673. He's the greatest dragonslayer
there is!Copy !req
674. Possibly the greatest
there ever will be!Copy !req
675. - Brother Gilbert!
- Bowen!Copy !req
676. You're alive.Copy !req
677. Praised be the saints.
The saints be blessed.Copy !req
678. You're alive!Copy !req
679. - And whole.
- Brother Gilbert.Copy !req
680. You could not put your trust
in a better man.Copy !req
681. I personally have seen him slay
almost two dragons.Copy !req
682. - Oh, Brother Gilbert.
- Almost.Copy !req
683. Well, I didn't actually see
the death blow of the second,Copy !req
684. but as Bowen is here,
he must have won.Copy !req
685. No.Copy !req
686. Don't you see?
He's in league with the dragon.Copy !req
687. Hold that there.Copy !req
688. And here he comes.Copy !req
689. Oh!Copy !req
690. Sink! Sink!Copy !req
691. I can't!
It doesn't get any deeper!Copy !req
692. Well done, Bowen!
You've done it again!Copy !req
693. What a brute!
That's even bigger than the last one!Copy !req
694. Actually,
he's about the same size.Copy !req
695. - Meat.
- Meat.Copy !req
696. Meat! Meat!Copy !req
697. Oh, dear.Copy !req
698. Run! He's getting away!Copy !req
699. Uh-oh.Copy !req
700. What's going on?Copy !req
701. Meat!Copy !req
702. - Meat! Meat!
- Meat!Copy !req
703. Run. That's what's going on!Copy !req
704. - Run.
- Run?Copy !req
705. Kara! Kara!Copy !req
706. Ya! Ya! Ya!Copy !req
707. Peace, brothers, peace!
Heathens!Copy !req
708. Brother Gilbert!Copy !req
709. Oh, good Lord.
Forgive me, my child.Copy !req
710. Liar! Liar!Copy !req
711. No dragon, no charge.Copy !req
712. Meat. Meat.Copy !req
713. Meat. Meat.Copy !req
714. Meat. Meat. Meat.Copy !req
715. We're going to die!Copy !req
716. God help us!
We're all going to die!Copy !req
717. Calm yourself, Brother Gilbert,
we're not going to die.Copy !req
718. We're just flying.Copy !req
719. if you're going
to get yourself killed,Copy !req
720. you might as well do it
in the fight against Einon.Copy !req
721. I think Kara has a point. Oh!Copy !req
722. But I'd rather discuss it
on the ground.Copy !req
723. Draco, what unholy place is this?Copy !req
724. Unholy?Copy !req
725. This is Avalon, the resting place
of King Arthur himself.Copy !req
726. So it was foretold,Copy !req
727. and so have I found you,
brave King Arthur.Copy !req
728. - Valor,Copy !req
729. virtue, truth.Copy !req
730. Ah, yes, truth.Copy !req
731. Amen. Ready now, Kara.Copy !req
732. And you, Bowen?Copy !req
733. Bowen?Copy !req
734. This is Avalon,
the shadow realm of the Round Table.Copy !req
735. - It's a divine omen.
- Omens won't win battles.Copy !req
736. Nor will you.Copy !req
737. And you'll find out
when you try to raise your army.Copy !req
738. You already know
the courage in your village.Copy !req
739. They're very brave at pelting
young girls with vegetables.Copy !req
740. It must start somewhere.Copy !req
741. Will you wish us luck, Draco?Copy !req
742. Long ago, when man was young
and the dragon already old,Copy !req
743. the wisest of our race
took pity on man.Copy !req
744. He gathered together
all the dragons,Copy !req
745. making them vow
to watch over man always.Copy !req
746. And at the moment of his death,Copy !req
747. the night became alive
with those stars.Copy !req
748. And thus was born
the dragons' heaven.Copy !req
749. But when we die, not all dragons
are admitted to this shining place.Copy !req
750. No, we have to earn it.Copy !req
751. And if we don't,Copy !req
752. our spirit disappears
as if we never were.Copy !req
753. And that's why I shared my life force
with a dying boy,Copy !req
754. so I would reunite
man and dragon...Copy !req
755. and ensure my place
among my ancient brothers of the sky.Copy !req
756. But my sacrifice
became my sin.Copy !req
757. It was you. Your heart
beats in Einon's breast.Copy !req
758. Yes, my half-heart...Copy !req
759. that cost me all of my soul.Copy !req
760. Even then I knew
his bloodthirsty nature,Copy !req
761. but I thought
my heart could change him.Copy !req
762. My God, I was so naive.Copy !req
763. No more than l.Copy !req
764. All my life I've dreamed
of serving noble kings,Copy !req
765. noble ideals.Copy !req
766. Dreams die hard,Copy !req
767. and you hold them in your hands
long after they've turned to dust.Copy !req
768. I will not be that naive again!Copy !req
769. Mm-hmm.Copy !req
770. Kara, I will go with you.Copy !req
771. So be it.Copy !req
772. Farewell, Bowen.Copy !req
773. Valor!Copy !req
774. Valor!Copy !req
775. Valor!
A knight is sworn to valor.Copy !req
776. A knight is sworn to valor.Copy !req
777. A knight is sworn to valor!Copy !req
778. His heart knows only virtue.Copy !req
779. His heart knows only virtue!Copy !req
780. His blade defends the helpless.Copy !req
781. His blade defends the helpless!Copy !req
782. His might upholds the weak.Copy !req
783. His might upholds the weak!Copy !req
784. His word speaks only truth.Copy !req
785. His word speaks only truth!Copy !req
786. His wrath undoes the wicked!Copy !req
787. His wrath undoes the wicked!Copy !req
788. Now I know
you're completely mad.Copy !req
789. - You want us to follow you
and a priest against Einon?
- Yes.Copy !req
790. - To hell, more like.
- But this time we can win.
You don't understand.Copy !req
791. I don't want to understand!
I understand this!Copy !req
792. I understand six years in a quarry!
That's all I need to understand!Copy !req
793. Believe me, I know
what you've been through, Hewe.Copy !req
794. - But this time we've been joined—
- Only a fool would join you!Copy !req
795. You're not listening
to what I'm saying!Copy !req
796. I've had enough
of your mischief!Copy !req
797. Save your strength
for the fight against Einon.Copy !req
798. - There isn't any fight against Einon.
- I'm going to start one.Copy !req
799. You and what army, Knight?Copy !req
800. Ya! Ya!Copy !req
801. You have never fired
a bow in your life,Copy !req
802. - in anger or in practice?
- No.Copy !req
803. Draw your bow.Copy !req
804. Sight along the arrow.
Release.Copy !req
805. Beginner's luck.
Try again.Copy !req
806. Steady.Copy !req
807. Brother Gilbert, you're a natural.Copy !req
808. Easy!Copy !req
809. Here, widen your stance.Copy !req
810. Up, down. Up, down.Copy !req
811. One fluid stroke.Copy !req
812. This could cleave
a man's skull.Copy !req
813. Like a pudding.Copy !req
814. - Eat.Copy !req
815. Whoa! Whoa!Copy !req
816. - I need more men!
- It's just a few peasants
waving pitchforks!Copy !req
817. I noticed they're all on your land.Copy !req
818. You're not too busy hawking
in your old age to keep control
of your minions, are you?Copy !req
819. - Choose me?
- Aaah!Copy !req
820. I was just saying that any one of us
is worth a hundred of them.Copy !req
821. My brave Felton,
an army unto himself.Copy !req
822. Well.Copy !req
823. Fool!Copy !req
824. I know this man who leads them,
and I will not underestimate him!Copy !req
825. Him or the dragon!Copy !req
826. Don't be afraid
of the dragon, my son.Copy !req
827. I'm afraid of nothing!Copy !req
828. - Nothing!
- Ow!Copy !req
829. You understand?Copy !req
830. A mother's gift to her son.Copy !req
831. The finest to be had.Copy !req
832. The finest what?Copy !req
833. Dragonslayers.Copy !req
834. Have you thought beyond tomorrow?Copy !req
835. It's hard to see that far.Copy !req
836. Look at the camp.
What do you see?Copy !req
837. - What do you hear?
- Hope.Copy !req
838. Exactly.Copy !req
839. Down there you have life,
songs and courage.Copy !req
840. You have everything
you'll ever need.Copy !req
841. And now, so do l.Copy !req
842. He dares defy me at my own gates.
Look at him!Copy !req
843. Well, today his Code
dies once and for all!Copy !req
844. No! We're safe here,
Your Majesty!Copy !req
845. That rabble couldn't possibly
storm the castle!Copy !req
846. By tonight they'll be
cold and wet and tired.Copy !req
847. They'll probably
just limp off home.Copy !req

902. Come from the shadows, Aislinn.
Come where I can see you.Copy !req
903. - You know why I've come.
- I know.Copy !req
904. In giving my heart, I've taken on every
poison stirring in his evil breast.Copy !req
905. Even the pain of his death
must be mine.Copy !req
906. You cannot blame yourself.Copy !req
907. Death without immortality?Copy !req
908. That was not the only reason.Copy !req
909. I had to wait for a time
when mankind...Copy !req
910. would not repeat my mistake
and let tyranny thrive.Copy !req
911. When there would be those
who remembered the Once-ways,Copy !req
912. remembered that even in the darkness
there is still light.Copy !req
913. I cannot see.
Are the stars shining tonight?Copy !req
914. Brightly, my lord.Copy !req
915. Brightly.Copy !req
916. Then let us end it.Copy !req
917. Forgive me!Copy !req
918. I know why you brought me
the dragonslayers.Copy !req
919. You wanted them to kill him
because you wanted me dead.Copy !req
920. I wanted to correct
a mistake made years ago...Copy !req
921. when I saved a creature
not worth saving.Copy !req
922. How un-motherly of you.Copy !req
923. We have to open the gates.Copy !req
924. The rest of us
are waiting outside.Copy !req
925. Go save your dragon, Bowen.Copy !req
926. Hurry, all of you.Copy !req
927. It's this way.Copy !req
928. Well, well, well,
what a pleasant surprise.Copy !req
929. I expected you, Bowen,
but with my bride-to-be as well?Copy !req
930. - And with a priest to wed us.
- To bury you.Copy !req
931. Well, to bury one of us.Copy !req
932. Kara, the door, quickly!Copy !req
933. Hurry up. That way.
That way.Copy !req
934. Quickly, this way.
This way.Copy !req
935. Come on. Hurry up.Copy !req
936. Now, I don't know how
you all got in here,Copy !req
937. but I tell you this:
you are going to get me out.Copy !req
938. Hewe, thank you.Copy !req
939. Aaah!Copy !req
940. No!Copy !req
941. Let me cut it
down to size for you.Copy !req
942. - Aaah!Copy !req
943. A girl.Copy !req
944. A girl!Copy !req
945. Bowen!Copy !req
946. Bowen!Copy !req
947. Lo, I'm immortal.Copy !req
948. Aaah!Copy !req
949. - Yeah!
- Huh?Copy !req
950. Aaah!Copy !req
951. Aaah! Aaah!Copy !req
952. Now it's you, Bowen.
It's you that has to do it!Copy !req
953. What are you talking about?Copy !req
954. As the heart binds Einon to me in life,
it binds us in death.Copy !req
955. - That's not true!
- You've seen that it is!Copy !req
956. Through the heart,
we share each other's pains and power.Copy !req
957. But in my half
beats the life source.Copy !req
958. For Einon to die,
I must die!Copy !req
959. Einon is dead.Copy !req
960. - He lives!
- It doesn't matter.Copy !req
961. Don't you hear it?
Our rebels have stormed the castle.Copy !req
962. Alive or dead, Einon's beaten.
We've won!Copy !req
963. You will never win
until Einon's evil is destroyed,Copy !req
964. and to do that,
you must destroy me!Copy !req
965. No.Copy !req
966. Once you swore your sword
and service were mine,Copy !req
967. to call when I had need of you,
to ask what I would of you.Copy !req
968. I hold you to your vow, Knight!Copy !req
969. He's coming,
coming to stop you!Copy !req
970. Strike before it's too late!Copy !req
971. You are the last.Copy !req
972. My time is over. Strike!Copy !req
973. You are my friend.Copy !req
974. Then, as my friend,
strike, please!Copy !req
975. - I can't.
- Then I will make you.Copy !req
976. - Aaah!Copy !req
977. Fight back, dragonslayer!
Defend yourself!Copy !req
978. - Pick it up!Copy !req
979. Move, and she dies!Copy !req
980. - Aaah!Copy !req
981. Aaah!Copy !req
982. What now, Draco?Copy !req
983. Without you,Copy !req
984. what do we do?Copy !req
985. Where do we turn?Copy !req
986. To the stars, Bowen.Copy !req
987. To the stars.Copy !req
988. And in the days following
Draco's sacrifice,Copy !req
989. Bowen and Kara led the people
in a time of justice and brotherhood.Copy !req
990. As I remember it now,
those were golden years,Copy !req
991. warmed by an unworldly light.Copy !req
992. And when things
became the most difficult,Copy !req
993. Draco's star shone
more brightly...Copy !req
994. for all of us
who knew where to look.Copy !req
