Dota: Dragon's Blood (2021) - Season 3 Edit

A better way.

A better world.

A constant in the universe, linked to all stars,

A cure requires making me other than who I was, who I still am.

A dance in shadow.

A drop of water from the ocean.

A failed notion recurs.

A few, a very few, seem able to resist the worst of the effects

A forgotten dream, a whisper.

A futile gesture.

A gift from a goddess is more than a gift.

A gifted mind, but her heart will get the best of her.

A girl.

A half remembered dream or a nightmare that came to me while you were gone.

A heretic allowed to enter, allowed to leave.

A lifetime, yes.

A multiverse and innumerable souls gone, for me.

A new world.

A red glow to swallow up all law and reason.

A religious practice which…

A sacrifice made in vain.

A son.

A stone that glowed crimson.

A terrible plan?

A time for mourning and remembrance of the dead.

A vessel dies, a vessel is chosen.

A world reshaped to your liking. We can build it together.

A… A friend.

Aah! [grunts]

Aah! Hmph.

Abandoned property. Empty silence.

Accept the blessing of the Solar Throne, Luna of the Imperium.

Adara had only love in her heart.

Adara!

Adara.

Adara.

Afraid to ask why. Afraid of the truth.

After all that pain and struggle,

After all these eons.

After all you went through stealing them from Selemene.

After I won the Dragon's Fire whiskey competition.

After the Principality attack,

Alert the guard.

Alive but sick.

All I ask is your blessing.

All of my high minded talk about old hatreds,

All of them.

All of this is for you.

All of you lot, stand down!

All right, I'll tell you what I know.

All that remains is the rage of the Primordial Mind.

All too human.

All we can do is clean up the mess.

All you have to do is stand here.

Allow me to serve you.

Alone in the sea.

Along with most of the Praetorian Guard.

Am I a hypocrite?

Am I all right?

An army of dragons is coming for it. While they kill each other

An Eldwurm that exists only to kill and destroy.

An eye that does not see.

An offer of parley.

Ancients!

And all of that for nothing.

And another man…

And are visibly… empowered instead.

And beyond him.

And by access, you mean…

And coward.

And dare to think you know what's best for all of us?

And he does it.

And he's named Tihomir his Viceroy.

And here I sit, nursing the oldest of them all.

And here you are, adrift at the end of the river.

And I am done bargaining with you.

And I cannot put you in harm's way, not again.

And I do mean alone.

And I don't risk my life for people crazier than I am,

And I don't think you'll like my solution much better.

And I keep mistaking one for the other.

And I remember bursting into tears.

And I see guards there daily. The Shoehorn must be cleaned out.

And I'll just fucking kill you.

And I'm certain those shiny sons of bitches would rather they never do.

And if my father is right? If I'm just damning us all?

And it all looks the same. What's different?

And it will awaken the Eldwyrms and their children.

And it's not because you're a Dragon Knight.

And let this world go.

And lies that conceal the truth.

And Mene's shrine is dark.

And more and more, I realize I choose badly.

And mourn him with you.

And my memories will talk to you?

And my worry.

And not a whisper to him that I've learned to use his pools this way.

And not in this one.

And nothing could harm me.

And offer comfort while the nightmares pass.

And our Lady's ability to maintain peace across her dominion.

And pacify what you could not contain.

And quite unnecessary. I'm here to propose an alliance.

And repair the physical structure of the moon.

And she had a good heart, and she was wise.

And so I've come.

And thank you again for the troops.

And the Forge is no proper subject for continued experimentation.

And the Legati agree.

And the Oracle whispering in your ear have changed you.

And the princess…

And The Slayer would be noticed, and quite unwelcome.

And then I realized, nope. Clear blue sky.

And then it was like, nothing happened at all.

And then, over countless eons,

And there won't be a damn thing anyone can do about it.

And these stars. The stars are the same.

And they knew what love there may have been had passed.

And this Fymryn?

And those we've lost.

And we hold you all in the highest esteem.

And we met in a bar?

And we've had some trouble maintaining our supply chain in

And what did anyone gain?

And when I remake reality, I will leave you a gift, your child,

And when she is gone,

And where are they falling from?

And why do you look like you just came from a funeral?

And will not rest until he claims all eight.

And yet… [scoffs]

And you act like you actually know me.

And you are a stray thought, a memory, imagined.

And you are far more than nothing.

And you are not alone.

And you ask for nothing in return?

And you don't get to leave this volcano.

And you have to lead.

And you simply stumbled upon it?

And you will wish you never sought them at all.

And you would undo these things.

And you, Papa, did you know it?

And you? Do you agree?

And you.

And you're not my Marci, but I watched you…

And your divine spark connects you to the Pillars of Creation.

And your father, he needs you.

And your new friend is crazier.

And your people lost my Order's protection forever.

And your phantoms are connected.

Another dead world, all for me.

Another encouraging result.

Another life.

Answer me, you bastard!

Any of you.

Anyone says a word about your ears answers to me.

Anyone would have done the same.

Are you prepared for the endless death you deserve?

Are you sure you don't want me along on the rich lady dragon safari?

Armistice or no armistice.

As anything other than food.

As I remember Davion…

As I said, our Tower will survive the holocaust.

As I was saying.

As she loved you in this one.

As should you.

As though I am you. I will appear as you imagine yourself.

As though the world were a sick animal to be put out of her misery.

As will you. As will we.

At times, more clearly than others.

Awakened, by the blind.

Barkeep, another round.

Because he doesn't see there can be no such thing.

Because it means I was privileged to have you in my life.

Because you have not yet arrived.

Because you pursued me across the boundaries of reality

Because you think you're alone.

Before?

Beg my father's forgiveness and pray he hears you.

Betrayed us, asked us to serve him…

Beyond the Solar Throne, beyond even you.

Beyond words.

Biggest kind of dragon.

Blowing up what's left of the universe? That is your plan?

Bram is fine. Bram is here.

Brave, indomitable.

Brave.

Bunny. [chuckles]

Burdened in ways that are difficult to explain.

Burnt out, a forgotten cinder,

Busier than I expected.

But But what if…

But all of this, for me?

But an alliance, cooperation with the Principality of Shadow.

But first, revenge on the one who lied to us,

But first, you must let go of this one.

But he may have an idea what can be done.

But I also believe we have no options.

But I am glad.

But I am no one's prisoner.

But I can listen.

But I can manage the problem.

But I can't let her wake up whatever's in there.

But I do, Majesty. He's going to prove himself a liar.

But I don't forget faces.

But I don't know them.

But I don't think I need to.

But I face them.

But I have other thoughts, other memories. They're like…

But I have to watch this one die.

But I know very well what he's capable of.

But I will not fight you.

But I'm in my cups, and my memory just isn't what it was when…

But in the absence of a crisis,

But in the other world, the one I come from,

But is it better than this?

But it was only a play.

But it's broken from the inside.

But it's the truth that hurts the most, isn't it?

But none of that matters, does it? [chuckles softly]

But not the question that began your journey.

But only the beginning of mine.

But perhaps we can help each other.

But personally?

But she can send us.

But she will fail as I failed.

But tell me, was it fate, or was it destiny?

But that makes them no less monstrous or less in my name.

But that sword was pretty great.

But that's not migration, that's convergence.

But that's not what you did at all. You broke everything.

But the bastard always saw me coming.

But the world wasn't made to be fair.

But there are a few things the Princess needs

But this isn't quite the reaction he imagined.

But this one? This one is as crazy as she is beautiful.

But to what end?

But today, the universe has arranged things such that I have no one to pray to.

But we both know, as much as it feels like a decision,

But we will hold the line.

But you are from The Helio Imperium.

But you can put it all back as it was, as you knew it.

But you chose to murder us in our sleep.

But you did your part better than anyone could have expected.

But you didn't stop with us.

But you do. I know because you had to say it.

But you had such dreams.

But you understand not one thousandth of your power.

But you won't.

But you would have done the same.

But you, daughter.

But you're home now, my love.

But your mind, it manifested them.

But your voice, a god's voice pierced the void.

But, Goddess, I can solve this.

But, two moons, one broken, unstable configuration,

But…

By allowing what you've loved to die.

By moon's holy light, we pray.

By the Dawn Star.

By the Dawn Star. What was she?

Can you see it?

Can't you hear her?

Cannot protect us from everything.

Causality was the second lesson.

Centuries of study, investigation, and inquiry collected in this Tower,

Child of Mene. First, a thief. Now, a murderer.

Child of the Moon.

Child, you should not have come here. No one should come here.

Claiming we attacked Mene herself.

Claiming we're responsible for the falling sky.

Clearly nothing.

Clever, like her father.

Cochi.

Cochi.

Coedwig?

Come down from there. We need to get creative.

Come here. Come to me on your own.

Come in, under the shadow.

Come sit. Here, you must be hungry.

Come to say farewell.

Come. Adara and Idwal are waiting. Idwal baked a pie.

Come. There's someone you have to meet.

Concepts, ideas with names, no different from any name.

Confess. Tell Filomena everything.

Congratulations on your apotheosis, Majesty,

Containment may be achievable with a fraction of the Dragons' power.

Correct.

Could you see anything from above?

Council is concluded.

Coward.

Crazy, stupid.

Crazy. Stupid. Here we go.

Curious.

Curious.

Cursed as I am, with the ache of things lost

Davi, go. Run!

Davi, you shouldn't be out.

Davion fights.

Davion, don't follow us.

Davion, you okay?

Davion.

Davion.

Davion.

Davion. I should have gone back.

Days old, your eyes barely open. You hardly learn to crawl.

Dead five years now.

Dearest niece.

Death comes for me. Prepare for it.

Death.

Demon!

Destiny is what you make it.

Destiny.

Did I discover it?

Did you find everything you were looking for?

Did you see him? He's a disaster.

Didn't do much to Terrorblade.

Die, you fucking monster!

Direstone?

Discorporation cannot be possible.

Disturbing the goddess is quite unnecessary.

Do I have a choice?

Do not trust me. Do not rely on me.

Do not trust Tihomir, and do not trust my uncle.

Do what you have to do.

Do whatever you need to do.

Do you love me?

Do you love me?

Do you still see the ghosts?

Do you think the Coriel'Tauvi are responsible for this?

Does this feel like an illusion?

Don't fight this.

Don't go. We can be a family.

Don't say it.

Don't say that.

Don't stop them. Let them go.

Don't… Don't leave us again.

Down the first, righting a wrong so perverse,

Down the other, this life. This stranger's life.

Down, boys.

Dragon Knight?

Dragons are not what you think.

Draw them to you.

Draw them to you.

Dreamer of a godling.

Dyfed, Adara, Idwal. You thought of them first and most often.

Dyfed!

Dyfed.

Dyfed. Adara. Idwal.

Earth, water, ember,

Eh, we must all have goals.

Eldwurm. It's the most dangerous.

Ember wyrmlings ahead.

Embrace, instead, the coming of the new.

Emperor Zal?

Empress.

Emptiness.

Energy radiates from the stone, but not in any form I've encountered.

Enough blood for the dead.

Enough games.

Enough.

Entire regions have been rendered uninhabitable.

Especially when the fight looks hopeless.

Even here.

Even if I succeed…

Even if this works, the last thing I'll see is you.

Even now, your true nature emerges

Even sanity feels like madness now.

Even Selemene knew better than to attack me in my own home.

Even when I don't remember their names, but…

Every night, my daughter poured her love for me into this.

Every night, she prayed I would return.

Every question reduced to one conclusion.

Every time I look upon her, I see our failure.

Everything dies.

Everything he's taken. None of it's fair.

Everything she said…

Exactly as I warned.

Except one thing with power beyond us…

Except that is not what happened. That is not all that happened.

Experiment 12,403 will be the last.

Explain yourselves!

Far more than you're aware.

Fate always seemed a noose to me.

Fate is for cowards and fools.

Father of Fire, do you remember the world before this one?

Father was right. I failed.

Father will be furious with me.

Father, what a perfectly awful time for you to be away.

Father, what have you done?

Father, you seem to be having a good day.

Father!

Father?

Father.

Filomena would never accept a world made by you.

Filomena would not want this.

Filomena, for once, when I tell you something, listen.

Filomena, I beg you.

Filomena, the Forge can kill you.

Filomena?

Filomena.

Filomena.

Find him. Take the stone. Find your answers.

Find the Eldwyrms.

Find the source, and we may unlock all mysteries.

Find your mother. Find shelter. Go.

Fine.

Five years, almost to the day.

Five years… tomorrow. [chuckles]

Floating alone in the void with no one for company but me.

Follow the moon if you become lost.

Follow you? This place is a maze.

For a more thorough inspection?

For a more useful purpose.

For all we know, that's why you're here.

For all your claims, you are still a fool.

For Dragon Hold.

For here you are, come to kill me.

For the thousand years you've squandered,

Forgive me for this violation of your mind.

Forgive me, Goddess, I have never observed.

Forgive me, Goddess. I can't just pretend they never happened.

Forgive me, Highness. I have orders from Regent Shabarra.

Forgive me, Papa.

Forgive me.

Forgive my daughter. She isn't usually given to overreaction.

Forgotten soon.

Forgotten.

Form.

Forward then.

Foulfell is unlike anything you've experienced.

Free from harm and free from pain.

Free her, Asar.

From their position, this was weeks ago, which it could not be.

Fuck off, demon.

Fymryn can't do this alone. How do we help her?

Fymryn is Mene, so I will look to myself.

Fymryn of Coedwig, apparently.

Fymryn. Fymryn is Mene, just not my Mene.

Fymryn. There you are.

Gaze into her light.

Get out of here!

Get ready, we fight.

Get the hells off him!

Give him to me. I'll carry him home.

Give it time.

Give me a purpose.

Give me a reason. It doesn't even have to be good.

Go home. Run!

Go.

Go. Go as fast as you can!

Go. Warn Dragon Hold.

God Empress of the Sun.

Goddess of nothing.

Goddess, fight. End him.

Goddess, I thought it fitting to come to you here.

Goddess?

Goddess?

Goddess? Something is…

Goddess.

Goddess.

Goddess. Goddess, do you…

Gods damn it. No. Wait!

Gods, Fymryn. How did you get here?

Gods, I miss you.

Gods, it's… [sighs]

Gods, none of that is real, is it?

Gods. [grunting]

Gods. Terrorblade. The Invoker.

Gods' folly! Enough!

Gods' mercy, woman. What is it?

Good point.

Goodnight…

Guess what sort of a god I am today?

Ha!

Hang on to that.

Hang on. I'll check it out.

Happy tears, I believed.

Have a drink. Have some fun.

Have already been troublesome.

Have you confessed to Filomena?

Have you done as I asked?

Have you ever had a dream where someone you love wronged you?

He agrees, circumstances warrant an audience with our Lady.

He and I and and you…

He can help?

He commands three dragon souls

He destroyed everything.

He did them out of love,

He did this. The Invoker did this.

He fights like hell.

He foresaw this.

He is bound to the Forge wherever he goes.

He is quite relevant to me.

He knows better than any of us.

He must be punished.

He must know what's happening.

He said, "Tonight, we dine! Tonight, we drink!

He says exposure to that red rock

He sent you to me. You lied to me.

He silenced infinite souls.

He told me I would know when the time had come for you to collect it.

He used them to unmake my world, our world.

He used them, collapsing all realities into one.

He wanted to build a perfect world for you,

He was my brother.

He was… obscure.

He will destroy everything to free himself,

He will not help you.

He will not repeat his error.

He will use it against you.

He'll make things worse for you.

He's buying you time.

He's inside the moon.

He's not getting any better.

Hear me out, okay?

Helio Imperium, huh?

Help from the Invoker.

Help her. Be her father.

Help him live in it, with it.

Help me kill these fucking things before they kill anyone else.

Heralding the return of Mene and the destruction of all things.

Here, far from any sun to grant you power, you are even less than that.

Here, I am Fymryn.

Here.

Here. Grab my hand.

Hey, come back to me.

Hey, this is the part where you're supposed to act excited,

Hey, watch who you're calling a mouse.

Hey, you're a dragon. Dragons can fly.

Hey! Come back!

Hidden inside his mind is relevant knowledge I cannot retrieve.

His blood for all the rest.

His demon. You attacked the Nightsilver Woods.

His design or not,

His destruction cannot be stopped.

His game,

His mother's ashes.

His secret is not a secret anymore.

Hm.

Hm.

Hm. And the demands on you, Princess, what of them?

Hmm, things became heated.

Hmm.

Hmm. It's to be revenge, then.

Hmph.

Hmph.

Hold on!

Home.

How am I so different?

How can I help you?

How he failed you. He failed to save you, and it broke him.

How is this a thing?

How the goddess's blessing coursed through them.

How the shrines came to life.

How they took their revenge and gave the lie to a false prophecy.

How to win.

How was your trip?

How you interfered with a Dragon Knight

Huh.

I I don't know.

I I had to hunt across hundreds of spans of hostile territory to bring you home.

I I mean, you were great. It was all you, but the sword was just

I advise humility.

I allowed her to escape.

I always listen.

I am alone.

I am helping you.

I am night.

I am shadow.

I am still Nivan Gallant in my heart, but, uh, my sword remains at your service.

I am thankful you are here to share this day with me.

I am the moon.

I am the unity that binds the Fragments.

I anticipate both will be fulfilled, goddess.

I asked her once before the end, begged her to explain.

I barely made it out alive.

I believe the elves withdrew because they learned what I know.

I believe we can set them to a more subtle purpose.

I believed there could be good in you. I didn't want him to be right.

I calculated a high probability of these events, yes.

I came to you with a purpose. We can unite our people together.

I can ask the one question that matters.

I can barely rebuild this place.

I can claim him with a thought.

I can feel them, hear them.

I can let you go, him go.

I can only tell you that I'm weaker today than I was yesterday.

I can take you right to him.

I can't dismiss them.

I can't even comprehend it completely.

I can't let this go. The result could be…

I can't tell you what to do or how to feel.

I can't worry about the two of you running around in there.

I can't.

I can't…

I cannot change your nature,

I cannot control the current, but I can choose where to enter.

I cannot search my father's mind, but I could search yours.

I cannot tell you what it is, I cannot tell you the cause.

I carry power greater than my own.

I caused all of this.

I changed my mind.

I could simply go on my own, but…

I couldn't let him die for nothing.

I couldn't let this be the end of his story.

I cried with you. I cried out your name.

I did what I could to heal what had been broken,

I didn't understand. Not then.

I don't even know what she wanted.

I don't have to kill you to take your power.

I don't imagine you shared it with The Althing.

I don't know that I can kill you.

I don't know them at all.

I don't know you. You're not from my enclave.

I don't know. I… I can't make sense of any of it.

I don't like it.

I don't like liars.

I don't need anyone's protection.

I don't need that, man. That Davion.

I don't see anything.

I don't suppose they have this where you come from.

I don't understand.

I don't understand.

I don't understand.

I don't understand.

I don't want this. No one could want this. [sobs]

I don't want to be haunted anymore.

I don't want to fight you.

I downed so many cups,

I eased it over the axle, and then I hitched your

I encountered something.

I failed to see the need, but I could refuse you nothing.

I failed you again.

I failed you, goddess.

I felt Selemene pass, but then I felt you.

I felt something happen.

I felt the truth. We are nothing.

I felt their love for you, yours for them. They must mean something to you.

I fight for the living!

I found one constant.

I free you of your burden and unshackle your masters.

I gathered and sheltered them, sent scouts far and wide to find more,

I get the feeling you're somebody from The Helio Imperium.

I guess that's it, then. Thanks for coming.

I have a need of a Dragon Knight.

I have come to draw the curtain.

I have need of you.

I have no reason to harm them.

I have no reason to trust him.

I have not come to fight you or pacify the Ancients.

I have not seen your father in many suns.

I have spent a thousand years defying death,

I have to find her. I need to see her.

I have to know what you know.

I have you. You're safe.

I hear you singing.

I hear you.

I held your hand.

I hold your essence in my hand.

I hoped…

I just need a minute.

I just wanted to know how it worked.

I just wish I knew how.

I knew what that meant.

I know all of my children,

I know better.

I know it seems so.

I know it. I saw it in Foulfell.

I know that look, conspicuously blank, another charming habit.

I know the way out. I've been here before.

I know this came from the wyrmling that destroyed your village.

I know what I'm asking.

I know what you've done and why.

I know what's in the Broken Peaks.

I know where he is.

I know who attacked who.

I know who I am.

I know who you are. You're the demon, aren't you?

I know you don't approve.

I know you feel left behind, like you didn't get to finish the fight,

I know you found your mother buried in the ashes.

I know you were just a boy, and you ran to fight with your father.

I know you will care for him and care for the people.

I know your father better than anyone does.

I know. It's just, It's the same result.

I let myself in.

I look at you and…

I lost you. I lost I lost everything.

I love you.

I love you. I won't worship you.

I made a choice you couldn't live with.

I made a mistake coming here.

I made it work.

I made the crossing to Dragon Hold when I was 12.

I mean, it doesn't make sense.

I memorized it. I don't need it.

I must act like a god.

I must prepare.

I need a god to take the fight to Foulfell.

I need to see her. Talk to her.

I need to see my father.

I need to think.

I need you.

I need your help.

I need your wisdom, Father.

I needed to know.

I never considered they might end their battle to kill me.

I never got to say goodbye.

I never took you for a fool.

I offer you my heart, my courage, my steel.

I only did as my goddess commanded.

I owe you better.

I owe you more.

I promise you I'm neither.

I promise, I only wanna talk.

I realize that hardly narrows it down.

I refuse to accept that.

I regret nothing.

I reimagined a universe so you could perform this one task.

I relayed your father's objections.

I remember everything. I remember what you did.

I remember his whole life.

I remember how he died.

I remember.

I ride to the Hinterlands myself.

I said I'll stay.

I said, I agree. I will help you.

I saw a red rock, in a cave…

I saw something. Someone.

I saw the book, Papa. I read it.

I searched for a cure, there is none.

I see how restless you are, Princess.

I see you know one another. Shall I?

I see you now.

I see you. I know you. Filomena.

I see your mother everywhere. I can't stop seeing your mother.

I seek your light, your love.

I should be horrified, and I am. I should be angry, and I am.

I stole these lotuses, but I need your help.

I stormed out.

I survived only through extreme means he failed to consider.

I take you as God Empress, first in thought, first in action.

I think I understand now.

I think Luna is trying to say

I think you got your nose too close to those flowers.

I think you know what it's like to love someone so much…

I think you know.

I think you of all people would understand, Your Majesty,

I thought I could fix the world and make it look how I wanted.

I thought I was protecting you.
