00:00:02In all these hundred thousand full moons, not one has ever risen for me.
00:00:11Listen here, bitch. Hand over the bag, or don't blame us for getting rough.
00:00:17I've already called the police. They'll be here any second. Don't do anything stupid.
00:00:24Stop!
00:00:30Where'd you crawl out from, punk? Who the hell are you? Trying to play the knight in shining armor?
00:00:41How did you do that?
00:00:43Moonlight and pine forest, darling. Your blood is very special.
00:00:54My lord, your aura is in turmoil. Has something happened?
00:00:58Look into a girl.
00:01:00Blonde hair, gray-blue eyes, lives in the east end.
00:01:03Her blood carries traces of the silver moon wolf clan.
00:01:07The wolf clan?
00:01:08They've hidden from the world for millennia. They haven't appeared in a human city in thousands of years.
00:01:14Then all the more interest. Prepare the highest-tier-turning ceremony.
00:01:17At the next full moon, she becomes one of my kind.
00:01:20That mysterious Mr. L again, a bouquet every day for seven days straight.
00:01:24Is he a nobleman or a wanted criminal?
00:01:26Or some boy toy you're keeping on the side, Luna?
00:01:30Probably just a boring, rich guy.
00:01:33Ooh, ooh, ooh! Our gorgeous Luna is in heat!
00:01:36You're so annoying!
00:01:42The corner of Regent Street? That's prime date territory.
00:01:46Your little lover boy's asking you out. You going?
00:01:48I've loved Ethan since I was eight. He just doesn't know it yet.
00:01:51We'll see.
00:01:52Whatever you say, just watch your reputation. I'm not ready to be a godmother this early.
00:01:56Sarah, shut your mouth!
00:02:01Coming out in the pouring rain? Is Miss Luna curious, or did you miss me?
00:02:07Why do you keep following me?
00:02:09Take a guess.
00:02:10I don't know, and I don't want to guess.
00:02:12Maybe it's just an instinct. I can't quite explain it.
00:02:14You and I, we're fainted to cross Blaths.
00:02:20Lucian Nighthead. Who on Earth is he?
00:02:22Why does my heart race out of control every time I get near him?
00:02:32What the hell was that just now?
00:02:45You said you've lived a long time. So, did you ever meet Queen Victoria?
00:02:50I did. She said I was too cold and allure for corpolls.
00:02:54You sure commit to a lie.
00:02:58I'm not lying. It's the plain truth.
00:03:01Don't believe me if you don't want to.
00:03:08Oh? You're afraid of me?
00:03:09I'm not.
00:03:11Fine. Whatever you say.
00:03:18The seal on the princess's bloodline is loosening, in London.
00:03:22High Priest, shall we send someone to bring her back at once?
00:03:25No.
00:03:26Let the progenitor keep drowning in that girl.
00:03:29No. On the night of the full moon, when her bloodline fully awakens, I'll have her back and make the
00:03:36progenitor taste what it's like to be slain by the woman he loves.
00:03:41My lord, the wolf clan has been stirring lately.
00:03:44Energy fluctuations from the direction of the Carapathian Mountains.
00:03:47Also, the analysis of Miss Luna's blood sample is complete.
00:03:50It contains an extremely high concentration of wolf clan markers, but in a state of deep dormancy.
00:03:54Wolf clan markers.
00:03:56Likely a seal placed by someone's hand.
00:03:59Tomorrow night is the full moon. The turning cannot be postponed.
00:04:02If she truly is a werewolf, the turning could trigger an unpredictable rejection, even a bloodline rampage.
00:04:08Whatever she is, I'm having her.
00:04:11Go. Finish the final preparations.
00:04:14Yes, my lord.
00:04:28How do you know where I live?
00:04:36Luna.
00:04:37Are you insane?
00:04:39It's raining out.
00:04:41I can't wait for the full moon.
00:04:49This painting, Blood Moon, is wrong.
00:04:51The silver moon would never turn red.
00:04:54Not unless the wolf king himself wept blood.
00:04:58Sir, you know quite a lot about the silver moon legends.
00:05:01A passing interest.
00:05:03Miss, you carry the scent of moonlight about you.
00:05:07Beware the gentleman of the dark beside you.
00:05:10It may bring destruction.
00:05:19No!
00:05:21No!
00:05:28What's wrong? You haven't said a word the whole drive.
00:05:30An old gentleman came to the gallery today, said some strange things, and gave me this.
00:05:39What did this man look like?
00:05:41Promise me.
00:05:43Don't meet anyone alone for now.
00:05:45Tomorrow's the full moon.
00:05:46I'll tell you everything.
00:05:53The wolf clan has already found her.
00:05:55Activate every protective ward on the manor.
00:05:57Tomorrow night, during the turning, no living thing comes within 500 meters of the main building.
00:06:02My lord, if the turning fails, and her wolf clan bloodline runs wild.
00:06:07There is no if!
00:06:08I've waited a hundred thousand years.
00:06:11I cannot lose someone who matters again.
00:06:24Can I take this as a confession?
00:06:30Yes.
00:06:37These marks on you, have they always been there?
00:06:40Have they always been there?
00:06:41I'm not scared.
00:06:43Just think they're beautiful.
00:06:54What did you want to tell me?
00:06:56Do I have to cover my eyes too?
00:07:00Luna.
00:07:01I have lived a hundred thousand years and watched countless ages rise and fall.
00:07:06You are the only reason I have ever wanted to keep existing.
00:07:09Let me give you eternity.
00:07:11Will you have it?
00:07:12So crazy.
00:07:13You're always so strange, saying things I can't understand.
00:07:17But I'm willing to trust you.
00:07:19I'm willing to trust you.
00:07:42My hand.
00:07:43What is this?
00:07:44My hand.
00:07:46The silver moon royal bloodline.
00:07:49The silver moon royal bloodline.
00:07:49How can you be the werewolf princess?
00:07:59Princess?
00:07:59Princess, forgive the intrusion.
00:08:02We are ordered to bring you home.
00:08:11Lord Progenite.
00:08:12Lord Progenite, move one more inch and I'll trigger the blood seal inside her.
00:08:16She'll pop like a punctured baroon.
00:08:19Lucian.
00:08:22What are you, really?
00:08:36Welcome home, my dear niece, Luna.
00:08:39If your father was still alive, he would be so proud of you.
00:08:42Let me go.
00:08:43Lucian will come for me.
00:08:46Him?
00:08:48Ten thousand years ago, it was he who killed your father, the king, with his own hands and slaughtered half
00:08:52our people.
00:08:53He found you, he approached you, only to root out your line completely and wipe out the silver moon royal
00:08:59house.
00:09:07Located to the wolf clan's ancestral lands in the Caraventians, protected by an ancient barrier.
00:09:12Breaking it by force will take time.
00:09:14Rally the night legion.
00:09:15Full muster within three hours.
00:09:17Even if I have to raven that barrier to the ground, I will bring her back!
00:09:21My lord, be calm.
00:09:23If we declare war outright, Miss Luna will only become more certain that you are the one who destroyed her
00:09:27clan.
00:09:32Hate me?
00:09:33The lost princess has returned!
00:09:36But, in the human world, she was corrupted by the vampire presaginant.
00:09:39Her memories are tainted.
00:09:41She must undergo the moonlight rial to purge the contamination and restore her to what a royal should be.
00:09:45I don't need any rape, I only want to know how my parents died.
00:09:48I want the truth!
00:09:49Princess, the seal within you has loosened.
00:09:51If the right does not green in your bloodline's power, on the night of the full moon, you will lose
00:09:57all reason and endanger the entire clan.
00:10:05A barrier 10,000 years old.
00:10:18He's in, faster than expected.
00:10:21The dungeon guards are in position.
00:10:24No.
00:10:25Withdraw half the guards, let him in.
00:10:27At the same time, activate the dungeon's memory formation.
00:10:30Let the princess see that history of annihilation with her own eyes.
00:10:35I want her heart to become a blade aimed squarely at him.
00:10:39As you command.
00:10:52Lucian, you finally came.
00:10:54They say you're the one who killed my parents.
00:10:56Tell me.
00:10:57It's not true.
00:10:58Tell me it isn't.
00:11:12It really was you.
00:11:13That battle.
00:11:14There's more to it.
00:11:15I was framed.
00:11:16I was only defending myself.
00:11:25Princess, this old servant Eldred was once captain of the royal guard under your father the king.
00:11:29There are words I have carried in my heart for 10,000 years.
00:11:32If I don't speak them now, I'll take them to the grave.
00:11:36What do you want to say?
00:11:37Before his majesty, the wolf king, rode out to war, he received a secret letter.
00:11:42It plainly stated that the progenitor would attack with his army on the night of the lunar eclipse.
00:11:48That was why his majesty marched out with his elite troops to spring an ambush before the progenitor could arrive.
00:11:54But the handwriting on that letter...
00:11:57I later realized it was the high priest's hand.
00:12:03You're saying Marcus wrote that letter?
00:12:07My lord, this is a memory crystal left behind on that battlefield.
00:12:12You never wanted to look at it, so I kept it myself.
00:12:18Marcus!
00:12:19Marcus!
00:12:33I have something to ask you.
00:12:35Of course, my child.
00:12:36Before my father marched to war, he received a secret letter.
00:12:39Who wrote it?
00:12:40It's been 10,000 years.
00:12:41Who remembers such details?
00:12:43Your father was slain by the progenitor.
00:12:45That is an intic-resputable fact.
00:12:46Don't be swayed by outsiders' meddling.
00:12:48Prepare yourself calmly for tomorrow night's rite.
00:12:51Don't be afraid, child.
00:12:53Soon you'll feel no more pain.
00:12:56You'll forget that, vampire.
00:12:58Forget every memory of the human world.
00:13:00And your bloodline will become the power by which I protect the wolf clan.
00:13:05So you were lying to me after all.
00:13:09It was you who killed my father.
00:13:11Your father was weak, unworthy of the silver moon bloodline.
00:13:15Power like this belongs to the strong!
00:13:24My bride!
00:13:27Who dares touch her?
00:13:52Progenitor, have you come to die?
00:13:55I'm here to take her home.
00:13:57I'm here to take her home.
00:14:20I'm here to take her home.
00:14:35I'm here to take her home.
00:14:36Why are you so stupid?
00:14:38Why didn't you dodge?
00:14:39Like this?
00:14:41You'll believe me now, won't you?
00:14:46That's forged!
00:14:48Don't believe him!
00:14:50Three soul-slaying nails, each carrying a curse of Wolf Clan's secret arts.
00:14:54The only cure is the heart's blood of the Silver Moon Wolf King.
00:14:57But His Majesty the Wolf King has been dead for 10,000 years.
00:15:01Then use my blood. I have royal blood too.
00:15:05Princess, that would mean carving out your heart's essence.
00:15:08You would lose every drop of your bloodline power.
00:15:11What use is power to me without him?
00:15:14Give me the dagger.
00:15:20Luna, Luna.
00:15:24Lucien, wait for me.
00:15:30Don't shake. Don't shake.
00:15:47Don't shake.
00:15:49My God.
00:16:03Her life is saved.
00:16:05But the royal bloodline, it's spent.
00:16:07From now on, you are only an ordinary human.
00:16:11That's enough.
00:16:21You're awake.
00:16:23Your power.
00:16:24Gone.
00:16:25But it bought your life.
00:16:27Worth it.
00:16:29What are you shaking for?
00:16:31I almost lost you.
00:16:33Didn't you say you've lived 100,000 years?
00:16:35Why are you crying like a little kid?
00:16:37100,000 years, and I still haven't learned how to lose you.
00:16:44You all saw the truth on the altar last night.
00:16:47The high priest conspired with outside enemies,
00:16:50murdered the late king,
00:16:52and framed the progenitor.
00:16:53Who among you still wants to die for him?
00:16:58That was forged.
00:16:59A memory crystal cannot be forged.
00:17:02You are a warrior of the wolf clan,
00:17:05not Marcus's private army.
00:17:07Step aside,
00:17:08or draw your blade.
00:17:14The whole clan witnessed what happened at the altar last night.
00:17:1710,000 years ago,
00:17:19Marcus conspired with a vampire traitor would attack,
00:17:21and witch the late king into marching out,
00:17:23framing the progenite for the deed.
00:17:25On the night of the eclipse,
00:17:26he again tried to strip the princess bloodline for his own use.
00:17:29The evidence is conclusive.
00:17:31To the victor go the spoils.
00:17:32Kill me.
00:17:33Gut me.
00:17:33Do as you please.
00:17:34By clan law for regicide,
00:17:36strip bloodline imprisoned forever in the abyssal prison.
00:17:39You think a mortal like her can take the wolf clan very far.
00:17:42Whether she can,
00:17:43that's for the whole clan to decide.
00:17:45You no longer have the right to speak.
00:17:47Princess,
00:17:48Marcus has been tried.
00:17:50The wolf clan humbly asks you to return and take the helm.
00:17:53Elder,
00:17:54I no longer have the royal bloodline.
00:17:56I'm just an ordinary person.
00:17:58You are more worthy than any bloodline.
00:18:02The blood clan.
00:18:03No problem.
00:18:04You've been gone this long.
00:18:05Aiden has it handled.
00:18:06Nothing major will go wrong.
00:18:07These two clans have fought for 10,000 years.
00:18:10Now suddenly peace.
00:18:11There'll be people on both sides who refuse to accept it.
00:18:14Then let them come to me.
00:18:15A hundred thousand years.
00:18:17If nothing else,
00:18:18crushing rebellions is my specialty.
00:18:20Word from the blood clan.
00:18:22Three elders have joined forces to boycott the coming peace tax,
00:18:25claiming the progenite has been bewitched
00:18:27by the wolf clan.
00:18:29Lord progenite,
00:18:30we respect your status.
00:18:32But for a werewolf,
00:18:34you have handed over the blood clan's hunting grounds.
00:18:37This violates 10,000 years of vampire survival law.
00:18:41The vampire's survival law was written by me.
00:18:46Any objection?
00:18:47We demand a vote of the council.
00:18:49Under the vampire code,
00:18:51decisions affecting the whole clan
00:18:52requires a two-thousands majority.
00:18:54I wrote the code too.
00:18:56Now I'm amending it.
00:18:58The progenous decisions require no vote.
00:19:01My lord,
00:19:02the peace talks in three days require document preparation.
00:19:05Please,
00:19:05this way.
00:19:15My lord,
00:19:16Elder Victor has deep roots in the blood clan.
00:19:19Crush him by force now,
00:19:20and a bigger wave will come later.
00:19:21I know,
00:19:22but we can't back down now.
00:19:24One step back,
00:19:25and it's civil war.
00:19:26Then how do you intend to handle it?
00:19:27We'll deal with it after the talks.
00:19:29I'll give them an account,
00:19:31just not the kind they want.
00:19:38Princess,
00:19:40tomorrow's talks will be held in the neutral valley.
00:19:43Each clan brings ten guards.
00:19:48What's Lucian's side saying?
00:19:52The progenitor has already silenced the opposition within the blood clan,
00:19:57but word is three elders refuse to attend.
00:20:00Good,
00:20:01good,
00:20:01Riddis.
00:20:01Saves us the squabbling at the table.
00:20:12Reading so intently?
00:20:14If the talks fall apart tomorrow,
00:20:15you're responsible for cheering me up.
00:20:18Then I might as well cheer you up right now.
00:20:29It took me ten minutes to tie that.
00:20:31You can tie it again tomorrow.
00:20:32I'll help.
00:20:33The Blood Moon Pact,
00:20:34three core articles.
00:20:36One,
00:20:37mutual non-aggression,
00:20:38with the Carapathian Ridge as the boundary.
00:20:40Two,
00:20:41no turning or hunting of the other side's people.
00:20:43Three,
00:20:44a joint council to settle cross-claim disputes.
00:20:46Objections?
00:20:47Raise them now.
00:20:48The agreement has been finalized.
00:20:50Elders,
00:20:51it is time to make a decision.
00:20:58We actually didn't come to bouts.
00:21:00Not yet.
00:21:01The real test is on the way back.
00:21:03The talks are signed.
00:21:05Where are the reinforcements you promised?
00:21:07Patience.
00:21:08A pact means little without the strength to enforce it.
00:21:11Marcus may be finished,
00:21:13but his legacy remains.
00:21:16What's inside that bottle?
00:21:19A drop from the first werewolf.
00:21:22Put it in tomorrow's wine,
00:21:24and the wolf clan will destroy itself.
00:21:33The young ones are surprising us tonight.
00:21:35Change takes time.
00:21:37We have time.
00:21:39Don't drink.
00:21:41Something's wrong with the wine.
00:21:59Aiden!
00:22:00Seal every exit.
00:22:02No one leaves.
00:22:04Yes!
00:22:13They're drugged.
00:22:14Don't kill them.
00:22:18Don't kill them!
00:22:22Get behind me.
00:22:24Don't run.
00:22:25You didn't say the effect would be this insane.
00:22:28This will spark an all-out war.
00:22:29You've already walked this far down the road
00:22:32of betraying the progenent.
00:22:34Turn back now.
00:22:35Do you think he'd forgive you?
00:22:47The blood of the first werewolf.
00:22:49A forbidden relic lost for thousands of years.
00:22:52At a time like this,
00:22:54who would do such a thing?
00:22:55Those who don't want peace between the clans.
00:22:57There are some inside the blood clan,
00:22:59and remnant forces on the wolf clan's side.
00:23:02Maybe the two have linked up.
00:23:15I just thought of something.
00:23:17What if today's attack wasn't meant to kill,
00:23:19but to destroy trust?
00:23:21What do you mean?
00:23:22Make the wolf clan see poison in the vampire's wine.
00:23:25Make the vampire see werewolves going mad and attacking.
00:23:27Both sides will think the other is out to destroy them,
00:23:30and the very foundation of their peace is trust.
00:23:32You're quite the clever little thing.
00:23:34You think clearer than those elders who've lived 10,000 years.
00:23:38Is that a compliment or an insult?
00:23:41A compliment.
00:23:52Does it hurt?
00:23:53It hurts.
00:23:54But the moment you touch it, it doesn't.
00:23:57Smooth talker.
00:24:00You taught me.
00:24:05What did I do?
00:24:07You were drugged.
00:24:09If you can't remember, think back.
00:24:10Was anything off before you drank that last cup?
00:24:13There was someone in a black robe hanging around near the kitchen.
00:24:17I figured he was the serving hand.
00:24:19The progenitor has locked down the whole valley.
00:24:22Everyone's being interrogated.
00:24:23Our identities will be found out sooner or less.
00:24:25Only you will be exposed.
00:24:27I have no identity to expose.
00:24:29What the hell did you just say?
00:24:31Elder Victor, the partnership ends here.
00:24:34You no longer have any value.
00:24:40Elder Victor, about what happened at the banquet?
00:24:44Anything you'd like to tell me?
00:24:46My lord, I was forced.
00:24:47That hooded man found me.
00:24:49What's his name?
00:24:51I don't know.
00:24:51He only said he was an envoy of the children of...
00:25:06How did it go?
00:25:08Victor is dead.
00:25:09Silenced.
00:25:10It was the children of chaos.
00:25:14We just built this pact.
00:25:16It's barely warm and someone's already digging at the foundation.
00:25:19Then we'll dig deeper than they do.
00:25:22The children of chaos want chaos.
00:25:24We'll do the opposite.
00:25:25Be steadier than them.
00:25:26The more they want us to fight, the less we fight.
00:25:28Drive them mad.
00:25:29You make it sound so simple.
00:25:33With you here, nothing is hard.
00:25:35The children of chaos, an order more ancient than vampires or wellwolves.
00:25:38They worship chaos and war.
00:25:40Peace is their greatest enemy.
00:25:41Ten thousand years ago, they were already sowing discord between the races.
00:25:44Then they vanished without a trace.
00:25:45We all thought them extinct.
00:25:47Not extinct.
00:25:48Just dormant.
00:25:49This time they used Marcus' ambition and Victor's grievance, planting lines on both sides.
00:25:55So they won't stop at one attempt.
00:25:58Peace talks, banquets, any public gathering, all of it is their target.
00:26:09Your balance is the first thing your opponent can steal.
00:26:12Control your momentum and your strength works for you.
00:26:14Princess, did you train like this too?
00:26:16I was 22 when my bloodline awakened.
00:26:19Before that, I just restored paintings.
00:26:20Why learn this now?
00:26:21I lost my power, so I train harder than anyone.
00:26:25Up.
00:26:26Again.
00:26:36Thanks.
00:26:37You've barely slept since the banquet.
00:26:39Can't sleep.
00:26:40Victor's dead, the lead's gone cold, and the children of chaos are in the shadows.
00:26:43The moment we move, they see it all clearly.
00:26:45Then set a trap they're forced to walk into.
00:26:50You have another idea?
00:26:52In three days, the Blood Clan is holding a public ceremony for the Pact signing.
00:26:57The children of chaos won't pass up an occasion like that.
00:27:00Are you asking me to draw their attention again?
00:27:04Not alone this time.
00:27:05I stay with you.
00:27:07If you rush in first, I will not forgive you twice.
00:27:13Then you lead.
00:27:14I follow.
00:27:22Before we drink, I'd like to ask one of our guests a question.
00:27:25An envoy of the Children of Chaos sneaking in disguised as a server.
00:27:29Were you planning to add something extra to the wine?
00:27:32As expected for the werewolf princess, Sharp.
00:27:36But it's already too late.
00:27:48Progenator, you've grown weak.
00:27:49Abandoning the lofty arrogance of immortality for a mortal woman, you're no longer the being that made the world tremble.
00:27:55I never needed to make the world tremble.
00:27:56I only need to keep her safe.
00:28:02You're angry.
00:28:03You made me stand in front of everyone as bait, then charged in to take the Tendals yourself.
00:28:07Do you remember I'm now just an ordinary Mietal who can die?
00:28:09If he'd hurt you and still had strength left, I couldn't even run away.
00:28:13I just don't want you hurt again.
00:28:15And I don't want to watch you take a fatal blow for me.
00:28:20I promise you, next time we do it together, I won't bear it alone.
00:28:27You'd better.
00:28:33Those two need a moment.
00:28:34In my lord's hundred thousand years, this is a first.
00:28:38Love, no matter how long you've lived, you're always a beginner.
00:28:44Not naturally formed.
00:28:46It was forcibly fin-refined with blood from at least three races.
00:28:50Vampire, werewolf, and human.
00:28:52What exactly are the children of Chaos planning?
00:28:55The crystal is both their power source and a tool for controlling members.
00:28:58Destroy the core crystal and that hooded man died.
00:29:00But the one who can forge such a thing, at least Priest-Leckel.
00:29:03Once a crystal shatters, wooden traces of its caster's error remain.
00:29:07In theory, yes, but that tracking art has been lost for ages.
00:29:11Then you're the theorishest.
00:29:12Give it a try.
00:29:16Oh, it actually worked.
00:29:18Where does it point?
00:29:20The northern cabin pains.
00:29:22A location not marked anywhere.
00:29:24We found their nest.
00:29:28Here, the children of Chaos stronghold.
00:29:31How many do we bring?
00:29:32Your call.
00:29:33Are you even awake?
00:29:36Awake?
00:29:37Go on.
00:29:37I want to bring the allied main force, but not all of it.
00:29:41Hold half back outside to encircle so we don't get caught in a pimper.
00:29:45Luna Agnan, were you really just a painting restorer?
00:29:49What, I don't look the part?
00:29:54This little box almost cost you your life.
00:29:57And mine.
00:29:58Keep it.
00:29:59One day we'll tell people.
00:30:01This is where the progenitor and his wife began.
00:30:04Who's your wife?
00:30:05You.
00:30:07Lucien, about the other day I owe you an apology.
00:30:09I shouldn't have snapped at you.
00:30:11You were right.
00:30:12I'm used to shouldering things alone.
00:30:14I haven't gotten used to having someone beside me.
00:30:16Give me time.
00:30:19The children of Chaos know we're hunting them.
00:30:22They'll set a trap.
00:30:24Then we'll set a bigger one.
00:30:28Every time you say something like that, it sounds like you're commenting on the weather.
00:30:32Because in a hundred thousand years, I've seen too many storms to count.
00:30:35The only thing that ever makes me nervous is you.
00:30:39You're getting better and better with words.
00:30:43We'll learn from you.
00:30:46The existence of the children of Chaos is confirmed.
00:30:49Ten thousand years ago, they set the two clans at each other's throats.
00:30:53Now, just as peace begins, they want everything.
00:30:54We will strike first and finish.
00:30:57According to the traces we trapped, their main stronghold is here, the Northern Caribbean.
00:31:01Every leaf to the same place.
00:31:03Move out.
00:31:10Energy confirmed.
00:31:11The stronghold is behind this door.
00:31:13Number of guards unknown.
00:31:15Interior layout.
00:31:16Not on any map.
00:31:16You're going to say you go in first and we wait for your signal again, aren't you?
00:31:19What did you promise me?
00:31:21Together.
00:31:23Good boy.
00:31:28Eldred, Aiden, take two squads and hold every exit.
00:31:31Don't let a single one of them out alive.
00:31:33Understood, my lord.
00:31:39They're waiting for us.
00:31:40They know every step we take.
00:31:43Ready?
00:31:44With you beside me, I'm ready any time.
00:31:49Let's go.
00:31:53The Lord Progenient honors us with his presence and brings the werewolf princess along.
00:31:59Children of Chaos, 10,000 years ago, you set the two clans at each other's throats.
00:32:03Lately, you sent your people to sabotage the pact.
00:32:05I'll give you one chance.
00:32:06Surrender now and I'll let you keep your bodies whole.
00:32:09Projejunator, do you truly think the two clans uniting can destroy us?
00:32:12We only grow stronger with every fight.
00:32:14Every war is our nourishment.
00:32:15He talks a lot.
00:32:17I'm used to it.
00:32:17Villains always do.
00:32:44How did you know the Corps was there?
00:32:47I watched when Aiden analyzed the crystal structure.
00:32:51Every Corps' fracture lines run the same way.
00:32:53The lower back between the third and fourth vertebrae.
00:32:58You really hold a grudge?
00:33:00That's called a good memory.
00:33:12Shadow of Chaos, devour everything!
00:33:24From Elford, holy silver shots made to counter shadow creatures.
00:33:41The outside is clean, 17 of them.
00:33:44Every one a crystal controlled living corpse.
00:33:47Where is your leader?
00:33:48Sebastian.
00:33:49He's not here.
00:33:51He's gone to find a more ancient power.
00:33:54You cannot win.
00:33:58Let's go.
00:34:00There are other leads.
00:34:03An ashtray has more presence than he did.
00:34:08My lord, come look at this.
00:34:10The children of Chaos were founded jointly by traitors of five ancient races.
00:34:14Vampires, werewolves, humans, elves, and dragons.
00:34:17Dragons?
00:34:18No wonder the black crystal's energy density is so high.
00:34:20A dragon's power core is crystal.
00:34:21Here, Sebastian's name, marked as one of the few surviving founding priests.
00:34:27It was he who orchestrated his downfall all those years ago.
00:34:30So the children of Chaos had five founders?
00:34:33Four are gone and this one's the last?
00:34:35And the oldest of them all.
00:34:36Look at this.
00:34:37He wants to awaken the remains of an ancient dragon at the bottom of the North Sea
00:34:40and use the power of the dragon skeleton to open the void.
00:34:43What is the void?
00:34:45The chaos space that existed before the world was born.
00:34:48He doesn't want war.
00:34:49He wants to annihilate everything utterly and return the world to a state where nothing exists.
00:34:53He's insane.
00:34:54He's insane, but not stupid.
00:34:56The dragon skeleton's location is encrypted. Cracking it will take time.
00:35:00Sebastian left at least seven days before us.
00:35:02Seven days, he may already be there.
00:35:05Then we speed up.
00:35:07You always make it sound as simple as having a meal.
00:35:10Because with me, your matters always come first.
00:35:13Everything else is secondary.
00:35:15The Lightless Tretch, the deepest point of the North Sea.
00:35:17No human expedition has ever reached it.
00:35:19The North Sea is vast.
00:35:21Without a precise fix, you could search for a year and find nothing.
00:35:24On the back of the tablet is an encrypted rune sequence.
00:35:26It can only be unlocked by two powers charred simultaneously.
00:35:28The power of the vampire progester and the power of the silver moon royal house.
00:35:32I no longer have the royal power.
00:35:35But you have the bond, Mark.
00:35:42It recognizes me.
00:35:44It always has.
00:35:51The dragon skeleton is here.
00:35:52The very bottom of the Lightless Trench.
00:35:54Sebastian set out before us.
00:35:56He may already be on his way.
00:35:58The main force returns to base.
00:36:00Lucy and I go to the North Sea.
00:36:01Just the two of you is too few.
00:36:03Let me deploy an elite squad means sworn.
00:36:05More people means slower.
00:36:07I'll fly her there myself.
00:36:08We can make it within a day.
00:36:10Fly?
00:36:14Afraid of heights?
00:36:16No.
00:36:21Your palms are sweating.
00:36:24That's the cold.
00:36:27Since when does cold make you damp?
00:36:30Shut up.
00:36:33It's actually quite pretty.
00:36:35I'll bring you to see it every month from now on.
00:36:42That patch of thunderclouds.
00:36:44The lightless trenches beneath it?
00:36:45Mm.
00:36:46There's a guardian prohibition left by the dragons beneath the water.
00:36:49No more flying.
00:36:52Then we walk.
00:36:53This will let you breathe underwater for two hours.
00:36:56It drains Quaster under attack.
00:36:58Stay close to me.
00:36:59Okay.
00:36:59Don't strike first.
00:37:02Are you ordering me?
00:37:06I'm begging you.
00:37:07That's more like it.
00:37:17The dragon's underwater farm from ages past.
00:37:21The skeleton lies at the deepest point.
00:37:30So big.
00:37:32Don't touch it.
00:37:33What if there's a prohibition?
00:37:34What if there's a prohibition?
00:37:35Oh.
00:37:38It's impossible.
00:37:48It's impossible.
00:37:50Faster than expected.
00:37:51The progenitor and the werewolf princess both here.
00:37:55Sebastian.
00:37:56You're the same.
00:37:57You're the same.
00:38:00A hundred thousand years and still unchanged.
00:38:02It seems this young lady really has some skill.
00:38:05So you're the last surviving founding priest?
00:38:11Princess.
00:38:12A pleasure.
00:38:14I don't think pleasure is quite what you're feeling.
00:38:18Once I absorb the dragon race's power core, the world will return to the primordial chaos.
00:38:25You cannot stop it.
00:38:27You always say the same thing.
00:38:29You said it ten thousand years ago and then four of your founding moments died.
00:38:33This time is different.
00:38:35This time no one can take a fatal blow for you.
00:38:39Progenies!
00:38:40You are 승 conceptualizing.
00:38:40I말ing!
00:38:47Pullback!
00:38:48Progenies!
00:38:49Your power was born of chaos itself!
00:38:51You should be standing with us!
00:38:53Chaos gave me life.
00:38:55That doesn't mean that I must return to it.
00:38:59I found something more valuable than the void.
00:39:12You think this is enough to win?
00:39:21Aiden said dragon runes are cyclical.
00:39:24Find the breakpoint and you can break through.
00:39:31It's right here.
00:39:55Princess, think carefully.
00:39:57That heart holds all the power of the dragon race.
00:40:00Didn't you lose your royal bloodline?
00:40:02Absorb it, and you can have power again.
00:40:05Power greater than any werewolf.
00:40:08You're right.
00:40:09I do very much want power.
00:40:12But not the way you mean.
00:40:17No!
00:40:25You've destroyed everything.
00:40:27My plan.
00:40:28Ten thousand years in the making.
00:40:39Hold on tight.
00:40:58What about Sebastian?
00:41:00His power source is destroyed.
00:41:02Even if he survived, he's no longer a threat.
00:41:04That dragon heart...
00:41:05I destroyed it.
00:41:07You did the right thing.
00:41:09That kind of power belonged to no one.
00:41:11Better destroyed than used.
00:41:14I thought you'd blame me.
00:41:17I will never blame you.
00:41:23Since the dragon heart's energy dissipated, the chaos readings in the treacher vanished entirely.
00:41:28Sebastian's life signal has not reappeared either.
00:41:32Are there any children of chaos left?
00:41:35Leaderless now.
00:41:36The remnants are nothing to fear.
00:41:39Joint mop-up teams from both clans are already underway.
00:41:41All known strongholds cleared within a month, by estimate.
00:41:55Does it hurt?
00:41:56You didn't ask while it was being bandaged.
00:41:58Now that it's all wrapped, you ask?
00:42:00Shall I unwrap it and ask again?
00:42:02Try it.
00:42:10What are you thinking about?
00:42:11Sebastian said all I had to do was absorb that heart to regain my power.
00:42:15Honestly, I was tempted.
00:42:17For just one moment.
00:42:18Anyone would be tempted.
00:42:20But I destroyed it.
00:42:21Not out of nobility.
00:42:22I was afraid.
00:42:24Afraid of becoming another Marcus.
00:42:27Another Sebastian.
00:42:28The kind of person who would do anything for power.
00:42:31The ones who fear their own fall are the hardest to bring down.
00:42:35Are you comforting me?
00:42:37How's it working?
00:42:41Not bad.
00:42:43That thing you said today.
00:42:45Something more valuable than the void.
00:42:47What was it?
00:42:48You.
00:42:50I've lived a hundred thousand years.
00:42:52Watched empires rise and fall.
00:42:54Watched gods be created by men and then toppled.
00:42:57But not one single thing ever made me feel that stopping was worthwhile.
00:43:01Except you.
00:43:02Then don't stop!
00:43:02You're only better.
00:43:07Your hand is hurt.
00:43:08It's the right hand that's hurt.
00:43:10It won't get in the way.
00:43:19All 27 known children of Kryos strongholds have been eliminated.
00:43:23Confiscated black crystals destroyed per protocol.
00:43:26Marcus' remaining followers are all in custody.
00:43:28The Wolf Clan's internal reorganization is largely complete.
00:43:33Every officer promoted under Marcus has been replaced by a new generation chosen from the training grounds.
00:43:39The threats of the children of Chaos and Marcus are eliminated.
00:43:42What we must do now is not just shore up our defenses.
00:43:45It's to build an institution that can endure.
00:43:47The Wolf Clan and the Blood Clan will take turns chairing the Joint Council three years per term.
00:43:51Disputes between the clans will be settled by a joint arbitration tribunal.
00:43:56No more resolving them by force.
00:44:03Princess, you are the shortest reigning royal I have ever known.
00:44:08Never crowned and already stepping into the background.
00:44:13I'm not royal anymore anyway.
00:44:16Being the pathfinder suits me.
00:44:18Walk ahead.
00:44:19No need to stand above.
00:44:21Since the Joint Council was founded, relations between the two clans have been closer than ever.
00:44:27Nothing like this in 10,000 years.
00:44:29Then it's worth a drink.
00:44:34Three border violations in the East End hunting grounds this month.
00:44:37Your Wolf Clan patrols killed six of our farm deer.
00:44:40We have the footage to prove it.
00:44:41That path is our ancestral hunting trail passed down for generations.
00:44:44You built your fence right across it.
00:44:46Are we supposed to fly over?
00:44:47Pact, Annex 3, Article 7.
00:44:50The ridge is the boundary.
00:44:51Your hunting trail ceased to be in your territory the day that line was drawn.
00:44:55The boundary was jointly confirmed by both sides at the time.
00:44:58Coordinates, terrain, survey reports, all here.
00:45:01No one took anyone's road.
00:45:03Objections go through the arbitration process.
00:45:08That's not a wolf.
00:45:09I've lived half my life.
00:45:11Wolf tracks don't look like that.
00:45:13This thing, it stood on two legs.
00:45:15I saw it with my own eyes through the window that night.
00:45:17A shadow that big.
00:45:19Third time this month.
00:45:21At this rate, the dozen or so of us will have no choice but to move away.
00:45:24An adult werewolf on the larger side.
00:45:28Uneven claw depth.
00:45:29Unstable center of gravity.
00:45:30Likely one of them in the new generation.
00:45:32Poor control.
00:45:34The pact forbids any form of entry into human settlements.
00:45:38He crossed the line.
00:45:39Whether he knew the rule or not.
00:45:46Thirteen incidents.
00:45:48Thirteen.
00:45:50All of them under twenty.
00:45:53The farthest one ran all the way to a human village's barn.
00:45:59And took a nap inside.
00:46:02I took a wrong turn.
00:46:04Bullshit!
00:46:05You take a wrong turn by thirty kilometers!
00:46:08Starting tomorrow, all patrols get one hard rule.
00:46:11Without written approval from the Joint Oversight Commission,
00:46:14no werewolf may come within three lee of a human settlement's outsurge.
00:46:18Violators?
00:46:19Thirty days confinement.
00:46:20A second offense?
00:46:21Exile from the clan lands.
00:46:27They'll resent you for this.
00:46:34I've got plenty of people who hate me.
00:46:36Who are they to me?
00:46:39I keep thinking.
00:46:41Is this system we've built too harsh on the young ones?
00:46:44Worried?
00:46:45They grew up believing humans are prey.
00:46:48Now suddenly they're told to be neighbors.
00:46:51You can't change that with a signature on a piece of paper.
00:46:54The institution is only the first step.
00:46:58Hearts still have to be worn smooth by time.
00:47:02You've lived a hundred thousand years.
00:47:06Do you really think hearts like these can be worn smooth?
00:47:09They can.
00:47:11Ten thousand years ago.
00:47:12Wait, a hundred thousand?
00:47:15Wasn't I just a madman who solved everything with a blood, Sid?
00:47:20And now you've worn me down into a man who brews hot tea.
00:47:24Don't give yourself so much credit at it.
00:47:26I'm the one who brewed the tea.
00:47:28Then I learned from you.
00:47:31That's more like it.
00:47:39The princess has us penned up in this palm-sized territory.
00:47:41Can't even go for a run without filing a report.
00:47:43Chasing a deer is an offense.
00:47:45Entering a village is a violation.
00:47:46Humans are building houses on our ancestral hunting grounds.
00:47:48And we're not even allowed to speak up.
00:47:49My grandfather says these mountains were all ours once.
00:47:51And now, past the village gate, it's a restricted zone.
00:47:54She's a half-baked princess who awakened at 22 and grew up in the human world.
00:47:58Never even sprouted her full wolf fur.
00:48:00What gives her the right to decide for us?
00:48:02I belong to no one.
00:48:03I simply don't want to watch two ancient races being led to the Drem by a mortal.
00:48:06The two of you join forces privately and impeach her openly in the council.
00:48:10She's a mortal.
00:48:10By what right does she rule supernatural races?
00:48:12This isn't a rebellion.
00:48:13It's a removal through the very system you built yourselves.
00:48:16Since Victor died, the progenite's authority has only grown.
00:48:20He amended the code in public.
00:48:22Doesn't even need a vote.
00:48:23What are we in his eyes?
00:48:25Decorations.
00:48:25No need to confront him head down.
00:48:27His weak spot is that woman.
00:48:29Luna.
00:48:29What threat could a mortal pose?
00:48:31Precisely because she's a mortal.
00:48:33When you impeach her in the council, the progenited will be forced to act to protect her.
00:48:36And the moment he acts, it's one man standing against the lawful resolution of the two clans' council.
00:48:41And then, hey, it won't be you rebelling against him.
00:48:43It'll be him placing himself on the wrong side of the institution.
00:48:46Under Article 12 of the Joint Council Charter,
00:48:48any council that has the right to bring a motion of no confidence against a sitting official.
00:48:51I, Logan, on behalf of 21 wolf clown counselors, move to remove Luna from all her positions in the Joint
00:48:56Council.
00:48:56The reason is simple.
00:48:57She has lost the Silver Moon Royal bloodline and is now nothing but an ordinary human.
00:49:02The Joint Council is a council of vampires and willwolves.
00:49:06A human should hold no seat here and certainly no power of adjudication.
00:49:11Fifteen vampire counselors second the motion.
00:49:14This is not personal.
00:49:15It is a matter of principle.
00:49:16I serve as Pathfinder not by bloodline, but by the Blood Moon Pact signed by the hands of both clans'
00:49:20delegates.
00:49:21Article 3 of the pact provides,
00:49:23The Joint Council should have two standing arbitrators jointly nominated by both sides without regard to race or bloodline.
00:49:28Remove me and you negate the pact itself.
00:49:31And scrap the pact along with it.
00:49:34Matters of the two clans, the two clans decide them ourselves.
00:49:40You don't have to.
00:49:41I do.
00:49:43Vote.
00:49:4737 white, 39 black.
00:49:49The motion passes.
00:49:50I walk out this door today not because you've won, but because this institution is one I helped build with
00:49:54my own hands.
00:49:55You drive me out using rules I wrote.
00:49:57I have nothing more to say.
00:50:00But, what you're driving out isn't a werewolf princess.
00:50:02It's the person who's been stopping you from tearing each other apart.
00:50:05Look after yourselves from here on.
00:50:06Since this council no longer accepts my choices, I haven't got fit to serve this as the progenent of the
00:50:10Blood Clan.
00:50:11From this moment, the affairs of the Blood Clan shall be governed gently by the Council of Elders.
00:50:15You really didn't have to.
00:50:16You're the progenor.
00:50:17The Blood Clan can't do without you.
00:50:18A hundred thousand years of foundation and you just throw it away?
00:50:21A hundred thousand years ago I was alone.
00:50:23If a hundred thousand years later I'm still alone, then those hundred thousand years would have been lived in vain.
00:50:28That flat in London's East End is still empty.
00:50:31It's close to the gallery where you used to work a ten minute walk.
00:50:34You kept it?
00:50:36That place is so small you bump into walls turning around.
00:50:38Kept it.
00:50:39Just in case.
00:50:40In case of what?
00:50:42In case one day you want to run away with me.
00:50:46Then I want to today.
00:50:55The progenitor's efficient when it comes to moving house.
00:50:58I lived through the era when humans moved most often.
00:51:00During the Industrial Revolution I had to change residences every decade.
00:51:03Otherwise the neighbors would notice the man of the house never aged.
00:51:06This is Latin?
00:51:07A 16th century medical text.
00:51:10Back then human medicine was still stuck on blood etting.
00:51:14How long are we staying this time?
00:51:16Until you want to move again.
00:51:18Then we'll be here a long time.
00:51:20Then I'll just move a few more crates of books.
00:51:25Luna Agnan!
00:51:28Over three months!
00:51:29No messages!
00:51:30I thought that mysterious Mr. L kidnapped you, chopped you up and buried you in Hyde Park.
00:51:34Nothing of the sort.
00:51:35Just took a trip to Eastern Europe to sort out family matters.
00:51:38And Mr. L?
00:51:39That Luna took with a black rose bouquet every day?
00:51:43Moved in.
00:51:44He moved in next door.
00:51:46Luna Agnan, 26 years without a single relationship and you jump straight to eloping?
00:51:49Who is he, exactly? An aristocrat or an international fugitive?
00:51:52I'll tell you later.
00:51:53First let me finish ordering these three feathers.
00:51:55Out there for three months and this drawing board is what I miss most.
00:51:58What do you mean later? Tell me right now!
00:52:01My lord, the war faction of the Blood Clans Council of Elders now holds an absolute majority.
00:52:06They're pushing for a full-scale counter-strike.
00:52:08On the Wolf Clans, Logan publicly burnt the Pax Scroll yesterday.
00:52:10Border clashes have gone from once a week to every day.
00:52:12That skirmish three days ago left 22 dead.
00:52:14Neither side can hold things together anymore.
00:52:17This street is my turf!
00:52:19You blood-sucking bug dare come here?
00:52:21You're a turf?
00:52:21I was hunting on this street while you were still chasing rabbits in the mountains.
00:52:24Furball.
00:52:31Incident 0427 logging.
00:52:33Vampire and werewolf individuals in open brawl in a human district.
00:52:36Exposure risk level high.
00:52:38Submitting level three alert.
00:52:41Still awake?
00:52:43Did I wake you?
00:52:44You make more noise flipping paper than I do turning book pages.
00:52:48Something's happened.
00:52:50They're fighting, aren't they?
00:52:52Almost.
00:52:53So what do you plan to do?
00:52:54The road they chose.
00:52:56Let them walk it to the end.
00:52:57We'll go when the time comes.
00:52:59You say let them walk it themselves, but inside you must be frantic.
00:53:03Saw right through me.
00:53:04Then stop thinking about it.
00:53:05Sleep first tonight.
00:53:09The entire northern forest goes to the wolf clan.
00:53:12That's our ancestral hunting ground.
00:53:14The vampire's herb planting moves out within a month.
00:53:16That herb plantation in the northern forest has operated for 800 years and you say move it just like that?
00:53:21Logan, even your father didn't dare speak to me like that.
00:53:24My father's era is over.
00:53:27The wolf clan answers to me.
00:53:29The pack's ink isn't even dry and you're already tearing at it.
00:53:34Let me ask one thing.
00:53:35After you tear it up, what then?
00:53:38Who fills the hunter's cages?
00:53:43Great elder, you're really leaving.
00:53:45You've lived here your whole life.
00:53:46In this hall, I have served two generations of wolf kings.
00:53:49Before the late king marched to war, it was I who armored him.
00:53:51When the princess awakened, I was the first to kneel before her.
00:53:54This wolf clan now, it is no longer the wolf clan of the late king's time.
00:53:57That Logan lad is just having his moment of glory.
00:53:59Stay if you wish.
00:54:00The day you no longer wish to.
00:54:01I've left at an address at the foot of the mountain.
00:54:03That's the direction of the wolf clan lands.
00:54:05A 12-man vampire patrol has gone missing at the border.
00:54:08The vampires say the wolf clan ambushed them.
00:54:10The wolf clan says the vampires crossed the line and framed them.
00:54:12Neither side wants to find the truth anymore.
00:54:14They just want a reason to go to war.
00:54:17What are you thinking?
00:54:18Wondering if our leaving was a mistake.
00:54:20Not for us, for them.
00:54:21We're not gods.
00:54:22We can't decide for everyone,
00:54:24and we can't drag them back by force when they've chosen the wrong road.
00:54:27They chose this path.
00:54:28They'll bear the consequences.
00:54:29All we can do is reach out a hand to pull them up once they've hit rock bottom.
00:54:33This is vampire territory.
00:54:35Pact Annex 3.
00:54:38Article 7.
00:54:39The ridge is the boundary.
00:54:40The ground you're standing on is south of the ridge.
00:54:42The Pact?
00:54:43That paper's long since burned.
00:54:44Around here, power does the talking now.
00:54:52The East End Hunting Grounds.
00:54:54A coordinated wolf clan raid.
00:54:56Our 17-man garrison there wiped out to the last.
00:55:00If you tell me this isn't war, then what do you call it?
00:55:03We must counter-strike.
00:55:05The Protregator is gone.
00:55:06No one can hold us back, and no one can hold them back either.
00:55:09This war isn't one we're choosing to fight.
00:55:11The wolf clan has already brought it to our doorstep.
00:55:13I have just one question.
00:55:15Do we have a certainty of victory?
00:55:16The wolf clan outmatches us in individual strength,
00:55:18but we hold a clear numerical advantage.
00:55:20If we fight, we fight it out in one go.
00:55:22No loose ends.
00:55:23Mobilize all our forces.
00:55:24Primary assault.
00:55:25The wolf clan ancestral lands.
00:55:26Departion in three days.
00:55:27Dismissed.
00:55:32Four clashes in three days.
00:55:34More than a hundred dead and wounded on both sides combined.
00:55:37The Vampire Council of Elders has mustered the main legion, over 500,
00:55:41and set a frontal assact on the wolf clan ancestral lands in three days.
00:55:44Logan has issued a full clan mobilization order.
00:55:47Every adult werewolf must report to the ancestral lands before midnight tomorrow.
00:55:50My lord, this is not a border clash.
00:55:52This is all-out war.
00:55:53When they impeached us in the council,
00:55:54did a single one of them ever think it would come to this?
00:55:56No.
00:55:57They all believed that once you two were driven out,
00:55:59the clans could go their separate ways.
00:56:00What no one foreseen, no one was willing to foe,
00:56:02is that hatred itself is a kind of momentum.
00:56:05It doesn't stop just because you let go.
00:56:07Can't sleep?
00:56:09I keep thinking, should we go back?
00:56:11And do what?
00:56:12Break up the fight?
00:56:14Can you break it up?
00:56:15Can't break it up,
00:56:17but when they're beating each other bloody,
00:56:18at least someone will be watching,
00:56:20so they don't all die out.
00:56:22Let's decide after they've fought their first battle.
00:56:24What if half of them die in that first battle?
00:56:27Not our concern.
00:56:30Am I being especially cold-hearted?
00:56:32You're especially clear-eyed.
00:56:38Tell them,
00:56:40cross this canyon and it's all-out war.
00:56:42No negotiation.
00:56:44No cease-fire.
00:56:45No cease-fire.
00:56:59Elder, preliminary count, losses exceed half.
00:57:02Of those remaining, more than half are wounded.
00:57:04Fewer than 200 can still fight.
00:57:05Keep attacking.
00:57:06We're badly hurt,
00:57:07but the wolf clan's no better.
00:57:08They have fewer numbers.
00:57:09They can't hold out much longer.
00:57:12100 men.
00:57:13We fight to the end.
00:57:16In the name of the Human Hunters Guild,
00:57:17your war now directly threatens the safety
00:57:19of 17 human villages in three towns.
00:57:21From this moment,
00:57:22this region is under guild control.
00:57:23All armed personnel,
00:57:25lay down your weapons
00:57:25and stand ready to be secured where you are.
00:57:27A bunch of humans with a few silver crossbows
00:57:29think they can stop us?
00:57:30The bolts are laced with concentrated wereburn
00:57:32and vampire holy water extract.
00:57:36Go ahead and try to charge.
00:57:38See how many of you have.
00:57:45Prisoners to be held by classification.
00:57:47Leaders in silver cages,
00:57:48common warriors under rune restraints.
00:57:50Notify London headquarters.
00:57:51The main forces of the blood clan
00:57:52and the wolf clan have been captured in full.
00:57:54Commander,
00:57:55there are witnesses in the area.
00:57:56Standard memory handling procedure.
00:57:59Unified story for the media.
00:58:00NATO joint military exercise.
00:58:02Clear this area before dawn.
00:58:04For thousands of years,
00:58:05the Hunters Guild has known you exist.
00:58:07We've logged every vampire incident,
00:58:09every werewolf sighting.
00:58:10But we held ourselves back
00:58:11as long as you stayed in the shadows
00:58:12and never crossed that line.
00:58:14But your war has damaged 17 human villages
00:58:16and forced the residents of three towns to evacuate.
00:58:19Behind those numbers are living, breathing people.
00:58:22Farmers, shopkeepers,
00:58:23children on their way home from school.
00:58:25All of them are people
00:58:26the guild has sworn to protect.
00:58:28You said capturing two leaders wasn't enough.
00:58:30I agree.
00:58:31So I had people hit both clan's ancestral lands,
00:58:32the vampire manor,
00:58:33seven secret strongholds,
00:58:35three armories.
00:58:35Members of both clans
00:58:36currently held across the guild's branches.
00:58:39387 in total.
00:58:40Add those taken at the canyon over six...
00:58:43Three days.
00:58:44From the canyon battle to the guild's net closing,
00:58:46it took only three days.
00:58:47Both clan's main forces are gone.
00:58:48Logan and the three pro-war vampire elders are captured.
00:58:50The rest are dead, surrendered, or scattered.
00:58:52Fewer than 50 remain,
00:58:53scattered and hidden deep in the Carapayans,
00:58:54changing hideouts every day.
00:58:54The hunters are still sweeping the mountains.
00:58:56That commander, what's her name?
00:58:59Vera Gray.
00:58:59Three generations of hunters in her family,
00:59:01her grandfather took part in the 19th century purge
00:59:02of the Norfolk vampire family.
00:59:04The guild was once a loose underground organization.
00:59:06Under her, it's been forged into a semi-militarized force,
00:59:08six branches worldwide,
00:59:09equipped with standardized weapons
00:59:10designed against every supernatural race.
00:59:12My lord,
00:59:13the hunter's guild didn't appear overnight.
00:59:14They've been preparing for 200 years,
00:59:16waiting for an excuse to intervene openly.
00:59:18The canyon battle was that excuse.
00:59:19She took that many prisoners,
00:59:21but didn't execute them out.
00:59:21That means she isn't after extermination.
00:59:23She sent word.
00:59:24She wants to meet the two of you.
00:59:27Lucien Nighthead,
00:59:28progenator of the Blood Clan,
00:59:29and the Pathfinder Luna,
00:59:30no, I should say the Werewolf Princess.
00:59:32I've reviewed your entire public record
00:59:33during the Joint Council era.
00:59:34You tried to build peace between the two clans,
00:59:36designed an arbitration system,
00:59:37drafted the Pat,
00:59:37and then got voted out by your own council.
00:59:38You didn't call us here to catch up.
00:59:40Direct.
00:59:41I like it.
00:59:41What I want is an order
00:59:42in which supernatural races may exist,
00:59:44but not tower above humans,
00:59:45and certainly not treat humans as prey.
00:59:48Humans, vampires, wellwolves,
00:59:49each keeps its own territory,
00:59:51no aggression between us.
00:59:52Cross-race conflict settled
00:59:52by a joint arbitration tribunal.
00:59:54Supernatural individuals
00:59:55conducting lawful activity in human cities
00:59:56must register...
00:59:57You want him and me to be the middlemen?
00:59:58You two are the only people to both to clans.
01:00:00It's the surviving delegates of both clans
01:00:01to accept the terms,
01:00:02and I'll release the prisoners in batches.
01:00:04The terms are largely reasonable.
01:00:06No hunting zones, buffer zones,
01:00:07traditional territory divisions,
01:00:09much like what we did before.
01:00:10The one addition is this.
01:00:11Supernatural individuals
01:00:12must register with the guild
01:00:14to operate in human cities.
01:00:15Surveillance?
01:00:16It's also the price you pay to build trust.
01:00:18The guild can't unconditionally trust
01:00:20vampires and willwolves from day one,
01:00:21just as the wolf clan and the blood clack
01:00:23couldn't trust each other at first either.
01:00:24But conversely, this clause protects them too.
01:00:26Registered activity falls under guild protection.
01:00:29They won't be cut down on the street
01:00:30by some hunter who doesn't know the accord.
01:00:32You've made up your mind?
01:00:33As an outsider,
01:00:35standing outside the door,
01:00:36knocking and saying,
01:00:37here's one more chance.
01:00:39I'll go with you.
01:00:41I come representing only myself,
01:00:43not any clan.
01:00:44You all know what's happening outside.
01:00:45The main forces captured,
01:00:47the ancestral lands occupied,
01:00:48the hunters sweeping the mountains.
01:00:50Your leaders led you into a dead end.
01:00:51You here to laugh at us?
01:00:53I'm here to offer you a chance.
01:00:54The hunter's guild commander
01:00:55has proposed a three-way accord.
01:00:57Humans, vampires, and werewolves
01:00:58each keep their territory
01:00:59with no aggression between them.
01:01:00Prisoners released in patches.
01:01:01The condition,
01:01:02the surviving delegates of both clans
01:01:03accept and sign it.
01:01:04I agree.
01:01:04I'm all don't want to watch
01:01:05the last werewolf die in a cave
01:01:07dying on the run.
01:01:08The vampires agree unanimously.
01:01:10We no longer have anything
01:01:11to bargain with.
01:01:12Accept and we live,
01:01:14refuse,
01:01:14and we wait to be dragged out
01:01:16family by family.
01:01:18The accord takes effect
01:01:19from this moment.
01:01:20The first batch of prisoners
01:01:20will be handed over
01:01:21within 24 hours.
01:01:22No mistreatment occurred
01:01:23during detention.
01:01:24You may verify it yourselves.
01:01:25Without your mediation,
01:01:26this accord could never
01:01:27have been reached so quickly.
01:01:28I've looked into what you did
01:01:28at the Joint Council.
01:01:29You were driven out
01:01:30by their stupidity.
01:01:31Signing is only the beginning.
01:01:32Enforcement is the real test.
01:01:33Which brings me to a proposal.
01:01:34A joint oversight commission.
01:01:36Each party sends representatives
01:01:37to handle day-to-day disputes
01:01:38and oversee implementation
01:01:39of the accord.
01:01:40I'll designate the human representative
01:01:41as for the vampire
01:01:42and werewolf representatives.
01:01:43We were removed from office.
01:01:44You two are the most fitting.
01:01:45Precisely because you're not leaders,
01:01:46you're the most fitted.
01:01:46You represent no party's
01:01:47vested interests,
01:01:48only the accord itself.
01:01:49What do you say?
01:01:52Tired?
01:01:52More tiring than fighting.
01:01:54Every word at the negotiating table
01:01:55has to be turned over three times
01:01:57before it leaves your mouth.
01:01:59But you did very well today.
01:02:00Of course I did.
01:02:02It's not my first day as Pathfinder.
01:02:04Right, you're the best.
01:02:07Humoring me?
01:02:09Wouldn't dare.
01:02:25Do you remember what you said to me here
01:02:26the first time?
01:02:27I said,
01:02:29you make me feel like I'm alive.
01:02:33And now?
01:02:34Now.
01:02:35You make me feel that being alive
01:02:36is worth it.
01:02:45Our great Lord Progenitor,
01:02:47stumped by a frying pan?
01:02:49I've never eaten food.
01:02:51Can't blame me for not knowing how.
01:02:52Then why did you start learning?
01:02:54Because of you.
01:02:55You're a human.
01:02:55You get hungry,
01:02:56you need to eat,
01:02:57you need to live.
01:02:58And I intend
01:02:59to grow old with you.
01:03:01Luna Agmon.
01:03:02A vampire's immortality
01:03:03is not a curse,
01:03:03it's a choice.
01:03:04Before I,
01:03:04because I could find
01:03:05no reason to end it.
01:03:06Now I choose a finite life,
01:03:07because what is finite
01:03:08is all the more precious.
01:03:09Will you live out every day
01:03:10an ordinary person gets to have
01:03:12with me?
01:03:13With me.
01:03:14With me.
01:03:15With me.
01:03:16With me.
01:03:17With me.
01:03:18With me.
01:03:18With me.
01:03:22A hundred thousand years
01:03:23and my Lord is nervous today.
01:03:25I hear he never trembled
01:03:27like this on the battlefield.
01:03:28He once said,
01:03:29not one of a hundred thousand
01:03:30full moons ever rose for you.
01:03:33Now it has risen.
01:03:38Cross-race conflict records
01:03:40this quarter,
01:03:40zero.
01:03:41Since the three-way accord
01:03:42was signed 12 consecutive months
01:03:44without a single incident
01:03:45required arbitration.
01:03:47The Wolf Clan's new generation
01:03:48has begun routine training
01:03:49in the designated buffer areas,
01:03:51not a single violation.
01:03:52Honestly,
01:03:53these children have adapted
01:03:54far faster than I expected.
01:03:55Someone at headquarters
01:03:56even asked me
01:03:56if the Joint Oversight Commission
01:03:58was hiding data.
01:03:59But what I'm raising today
01:04:00isn't a joke.
01:04:00Next year marks the second anniversary
01:04:02of the board signing.
01:04:03I propose we formally upgrade
01:04:05the Joint Oversight Commission
01:04:06from a provisional transitional body
01:04:08into a permanent
01:04:09international organization.
01:04:11Independent budget,
01:04:12staffing structure,
01:04:14legal standing.
01:04:15A provisional body
01:04:16has only five years of validity.
01:04:18If five years from now
01:04:19we're still renting office space,
01:04:21that's not respectful enough
01:04:22to the three parties.
01:04:30Lady Pathfinder!
01:04:31You're here again!
01:04:32Don't call me that.
01:04:34Just Luna.
01:04:35How have you been?
01:04:36Pretty good.
01:04:37Last time you said
01:04:38my defensive stance
01:04:39leaned too far right,
01:04:40I fixed it.
01:04:41Here, let me show you
01:04:42a new sequence I learned.
01:04:51Nothing left to nitpick.
01:04:52You could teach
01:04:53your own master now.
01:04:58Really?
01:05:00Really?
01:05:06Control training for the newly turned
01:05:07is complete.
01:05:08All seven vampires
01:05:09turned this year
01:05:10past their assessments.
01:05:11Not a single accidental injury.
01:05:12Also, the first batch
01:05:13of volunteers
01:05:14has officially started shifts
01:05:15at three human hospitals.
01:05:18Care workers?
01:05:19Vampires' nocturnal habits
01:05:21and precise perception
01:05:22of blood composition
01:05:23give them an unexpected edge
01:05:24in overnight emergency shifts
01:05:25and blood bank management.
01:05:27The Guild approved
01:05:28an expanded pilot,
01:05:29rolling out to Birmingham
01:05:30and Manchester next month.
01:05:32A hundred thousand years,
01:05:34humans have worshipped us
01:05:35as gods,
01:05:36hunted us as monsters,
01:05:37fought us as enemies.
01:05:38Not once did anyone
01:05:39ever think of us
01:05:40as co-workers.
01:05:41The times have changed,
01:05:42my lord.
01:05:44Yes, they have.
01:05:46Changing for the better.
01:05:52Aiden said you were out here
01:05:53staring into space.
01:05:55Multled wine?
01:05:56What did you put in this?
01:05:57Cinnamon, orange peel,
01:05:58star anace, and honey.
01:05:59Good, right?
01:06:00Not bad.
01:06:02Do you regret it?
01:06:04Giving up immortality?
01:06:07Every single day.
01:06:10I regret not meeting you
01:06:12a hundred thousand years earlier.
01:06:15You scared me to death.
01:06:17I promised
01:06:18to live out every day
01:06:19an ordinary person gets
01:06:21with you.
01:06:22That'll take a long time.
01:06:26The longer, the better.
01:06:27Everyone's got differences.
01:06:35Lucian,
01:06:35you said
01:06:36a hundred thousand
01:06:37full moons.
01:06:38Has this one risen for you?
