"Then get out of my sight." "And don't come back until you have the girl." "And remember, don't lie to me." "I'll know." "My pet sees all." "My father used to say, "If you want to make weapons," ""you need to know how to use them."" "Your father was a smart man." "I can see your father taught you well." "No." "My father died when I was very young." "I earned my skills much later in life." "Why?" "My story is no different than yours." "'Who did you lose to them?" "A sister?" "Tell me more." "Perhaps another time." "How come you know so much about killing witches?" "I learned much on my own, and then I found Lara." "She was part of a coven." "So she is a witch." "No longer." "Something happened that broke the binding spell." "She was near death when I found her." "She remembers nothing of life, but everything of witchcraft." "Every potion, every spell." "She has no power." "Her knowledge is priceless and so is she." "Lara created our entire arsenal." "Here." "Armor, lightweight, tough." "The witches we encounter will have weapons." "These will allow us to communicate over great distances." "And this delivers a charge like a lightning bolt." "(WHOOSHING)" "Extremely painful." "Hinders their magic." "You." "You used this on the warlock." "Yes." "I never encountered a warlock before." "Very powerful." "Never seen anyone jump so fast." "Makes him difficult to kill?" "Difficult, yes."

"I watched the creature fly west." "Towards the coven." "I'll check inside." "Ehren, Ehren." "You've earned his confidence." "That's no easy task." "I may have earned his trust, but a man who hides his past, who hides his true identity..." "Are we wise to trust him?" "Why do you call him "witchslayer" as if it is his name?" "Because I don't know his true name." "He hides his past, while mine was taken from me." "But I know he is a good man." "Until he is not." "Have faith, Ehren." "Sometimes things need to be believed in order to be seen." "Follow me, they've taken another." "How large is the coven?" "Atypical coven is four to five." "But everything we've learned, this coven is anything but typical." "The head of a coven draws its strength from the collective magic of its members." "The larger the coven, the more powerful its leader." "What is it this queen wants?" "I wish I knew." "Ehren, if something happens to us, I want you to run." "If they take you, you won't be spared a second time." "I'm not afraid of them." "I'm not implying that you are." "I'm saying if something happens to us, you'll be all that's left to stand against them." "It'd be wiser for you to live to fight another day." "The choice will be yours." "What's wrong with you?" "I have a terrible feeling about this coven." "It's overwhelming." "Your instincts are never wrong." "In this case, I hope..." "(SCREAMS)" "Lara!" "It burns." "(SIZZLING)" "What is that?" "It burns."

"I'm not your sister." "But I am all that's left of your sister." "Monster." "You tried to burn me alive." "I did." "Imagine my surprise when my power was deflected back on me." "When my body was burned," "I was forced to take Gretl's as my own." "I had no idea that you would survive in the world." "No food, no shelter." "No family left to run to." "Gretl." "Hear me." "Please." "It's me." "I want you to fight." "Fight for us." "Remember who I am." "Remember who you are." "I'm not entirely to blame for what's happened to you." "Your stepmother is guilty as well." "She knew that Gretl had the gift." "I made a bargain for her." "She was happy to oblige, but I had to take you in the bargain as well." "Liar." "Why would I lie?" "I have nothing to gain." "Ask yourself who sent you out into the forest that day." "I can only imagine the depths of the hatred that you have for me." "And now to see me in the body of someone that you love." "I will kill you, witch." "Kill me and you kill your sister." "Give me what I want and there is a chance she still might live." "What do you want from me?" "The girl that you rescued from the village." "Return her to me and I will return your sister to you." "And if I don't?" "Then you will die and so will your sister." "Why do you need the girl?" "The girl for Gretl." "It's an even trade and that's all you need to know." "I will kill her myself before I hand her over to you." "That's your choice." "Her blood is on your hands now." "ABYSS:" "Mistress." "You make my creature do your work for you." "Do you wish to leave my order, warlock?" "There is only one way to leave the order, Mistress." "In death." "Exactly." "Burn him." "I want him to feel the pain that I felt." "Even dead, he will lead the girl to us." "Can you perform this simple task, warlock?" "Yes, Mistress." "Then go." "Do you think they killed him?" "If they wanted him dead, he'd be dead." "He survived the creature, but they've taken him." "Witchslayer?" "Witchslayer, are you there?" "Witchslayer, are you there?" "Witchslayer?" "Did you see that?" "What are they looking for?" "Us." "Run!" "Run!" "(GRUNT)" "(BREATHES HEAVILY)" "Burn, witch." "Did you see that?" "(EXCLAIMS IN JOY)" "It's not a game." "Yeah, but I feel so powerful." "Don't deceive yourself into thinking that this is yours to control." "This is a world of magic." "And you're just a pawn in it." "It runs through everything." "It exists in a fine balance and it needs to be respected." "If you think you're stronger than it, then I can assure you, you will not be." "But it made you strong, didn't it?" "Magic doesn't make me strong." "Character does." "And I told you, it can be used for good or for evil." "And it's a fine line, and if you cross it..." "But you didn't cross it." "If I did, he would kill me." "As I will have to kill you." "Do you understand that?" "Do you?" "What's your duty with the coven, warlock?" "How did you come to serve Zhore?" "Male children born with the gift are rare." "When my village found that I had the gift, they tried to kill me." "Even my father." "Zhore found me and taught me how to use my magic." "For that, I've sworn to protect the coven, and to add to its numbers for my queen." "From what I've heard, I would say that your days are numbered." "(THUD)" "And for that, I'd say you're right." "That warlock knew you." "I was one of their order." "He was the warlock that bound me to it." "I'm beginning to remember things." "Pieces of my time with this coven." "There's still some mystical connection between us." "Is that good or bad?" "We'll see." "Leave the witchslayer to me." "If you truly wish to save your sister, I offer you another way." "If you help me, we can kill Zhore." "What could you possibly offer me?" "Your sister can be saved." "Her soul is held prisoner in Zhore's damaged body." "Where?" "The body lies in a tomb inside the Black Forest." "Zhore's soul lives in your sister." "If you can destroy her body, then you can destroy her." "And if you can destroy Zhore, you can restore your sister's body and soul." "Why do you need my help?" "'Why not kill her yourself?" "'Cause I am bound to her." "The familiar will find me." "He'll come after me even if she can't." "The queen grows weak now." "She needs a fresh body with the gift." "She seeks to discard Gretl's body for that of the blacksmith's daughter." "And if she succeeds, you will lose your sister forever." "I see." "And what of Lara?" "How do you know her?" "Zhore tried to use Lara as her vessel." "But Lara resisted, despite the queen's spell." "I thought she was destroyed, consumed by her own magic, but she must have transported to wherever you found her." "Breaking away from the coven almost killed her." "It's not what I wanted." "This will lead you to the tomb." "It's the best offer I can make." "So far, magic has been nothing but a curse to me." "Magic can be a good force in this world, Ehren." "You've been given this gift for a purpose." "It's no coincidence that the witchslayer spared you from the coven." "It's thanks to him that we have the ability to choose our own fate." "Why are you doing this?" "Because if she gets the girl, then she will live forever." "But if Zhore dies, control of the coven falls to me." "And that is all I want." "If you honor our bargain, we can go our separate ways." "I'll lead the coven far away from here and our two paths shall never cross again." "The devil you know." "There is one more thing." "The familiar." "Zhore's pet." "Even in death, it will protect the queen." "You must find away to destroy it or it will destroy us all." "How can I believe any of this, warlock?" "Because you still live." "Do we have an agreement, witchslayer?" "HANSEL:" "Lara." "I'm here." "I got away from the lair I'm coming your way." "Where are they?" "I told him to burn Hansel." "The warlock betrayed me, as I knew he would." "Find the witchslayer, kill him and bring me back the girl unharmed." "(ROARS)" "I'm almost there." "I'm approaching the swamp." "LARA:" "I think I can see you." "And you survived the warlock yet again." "I made a deal with the warlock." "I agreed to help kill the queen so he can take control of the coven." "In return, I get Gretl back." "I don't understand." "The witch queen is Zhore." "The same witch who took Gretl." "What?" "I know, I believed them both to be dead years ago." "But instead she has taken over Gretl's body." "It's in a tomb, but it is failing her." "How do you know of this?" "The warlock is ambitious." "I have something to tell you as well." "Some of my memories are coming back." "I'm just starting to make sense of them now." "The warlock can't be trusted." "I do not trust him." "He will die when the time is right." "Come." "Gretl was everything to me." "Did you have siblings?" "No." "It was just my father and I." "My mother died giving birth to me, so he raised me on his own." "I think he always wanted a son, but he didn't have one so he taught me everything he knew about hunting and archery and being a blacksmith." "Just like he would have a son." "Did he have..." "Magic?" "No, just me." "Gretl always had the gift." "Even when she was a little girl." "It was our secret." "She was born with magic." "I was born the opposite of magic." ""The opposite of magic"?" "Immune to potions and spells." "It's my fault she was taken." "I couldn't protect her from the witch." "I need to do everything in my power to save her." "The queen needs to be stopped." "Even if it means you must sacrifice..." "I will not lose her a second time." "Even if the world turns to hell?" "If it were you the queen had taken, I would do the same." "If there was a chance to save my father," "I would make the same choices you do now, no matter the consequences." "Once I destroy Zhore's body, Gretl's soul will be released." "We can't be sure of that." "I must be." "Someone once told me that sometimes you need to believe things in order to see them." "We need a plan." "You and Ehren go to the tomb." "She will help you." "And it would serve to keep her as far away from the queen as possible." "We need to wage this final battle on two fronts." "I will go to the lair." "I'm remembering things that will help us." "And I will protect your sister when Zhore leaves her body." "Thank you." "Be careful." "You, too." "I always am." "(FAMILIAR GROWLS)" "What?" "I know this place." "It's where I first encountered Zhore years ago." "Are you all right?" "I was here with Gretl." "This is where it all started." "The witch lured us here." "We were only children." "My father had recently passed." "Gretl and I were left alone with our stepmother." "She led us to this forest." "'We're never going to find our way home." "We will." "You promise?" "I promise." "I promise!" "It wasn't your fault." "Gretl looked up to me like I could protect her from anything." "But I couldn't." "You were just a child." "I promised her we'd get home safe." "I broke that promise once, I will not break it again." "(FAMILIAR ROARS)" "Gone." "The queen's pet?" "I'm afraid so." "We need to kill it." "In all due time." "Everything has its weakness." "You don't seem to." "What happens when we find the queen's tomb?" "We find my sister." "How far still?" "Damn him!" "Look at this, nothing." "Oh, no!" "Are we lost?" "I know the way back, but not forward." "Can you remember anything?" "Anything from the map?" "The map implied the tomb was to the north." "But it indicated only landmarks, not direction." "Is it possible to gain your bearings in this forsaken forest?" "Maybe not." "Well done." "It takes magic to fight magic." "After you, witch." "Have you returned for me?" "Or for him?" "For myself." "If I could have, I would have killed Zhore to spare you." "Spare me from what, Abyss?" "Your queen will be dead soon enough." "The witchslayer's on his way to the tomb." "Do you think he'll succeed?" "He's not one to fail." "You'll get what you want." "Will I?" "For what I truly want is you." "(WHOOSHING)" "(GASPS)" "(GRUNTING)" "(YELLS)" "Did you think that you could run from me, warlock?" "You belong to me." "(SIZZLING) (SCREAMS)" "You think that you've betrayed me."

"(GRUNTS) Help me." "(FAMILIAR GROWLS)" "I think it's time." "Indeed." "You need to move the stone." "It's too heavy." "Use your magic." "(ROARS)" "Get down." "(YELLS)" "(FAMILIAR GROANS)" "I'm impressed, warlock, that you were able to keep this hidden from me." "You're far more clever than I gave you credit for." "Kill me." "Kill me." "Please." "Not yet." "'When I see you and your true love reunited before I send you both to the grave." "EHREN:" "If we get lost in here, we'll never find our way back." "The stones." "What?" "My father once said if you're worried about getting lost, you should leave a trail." "That day with Gretl, I picked up stones from the ground and laid them down just in case we got lost." "But when we went to leave, they were gone." "She'd taken them." "Her." "Help me." "Hansel" "Gretl." "I'm so sorry." "I abandoned you all those years ago." "I wasn't strong enough to fight her then, but I'm strong enough now." "I need you to trust me, sister." "Forgive me for what I'm about to do." "(SCREAMING)" "(GROWLS)" "It's done."

"It's okay." "No." "No!" "Ehren!" "(GASPS)" "Ehren!" "(EVIL LAUGHTER)" "This girl is so powerful." "(SCREAMS)" "(LAUGHING)" "Kill me, you kill the queen." "Do it!" "Do it!" "Do it!" "(GROANS)" "I'm sorry." "I'm so sorry." "Help me." "Lara, free me." "I can restore your magic." "You can serve as my right hand." "You won't suffer the binding ritual." "You'd be free to do with your magic as you wish." "You're a tyrant, Abyss." "No different than Zhore." "I opened your eyes to your gift's true potential!" "And you embraced it." "You embraced your magic, the coven." "You were one of us." "And you lie." "Do I?" "I remember." "My mind is clear now, warlock." "I may have wanted magic, but I never wanted this." "You did!" "Well, it doesn't matter what's come before me." "Only matters what's before me now." "So goodbye, warlock." "Lara!" "Run!" "Find your brother." "Go!" "The coven is now mine." "And I have your witchslayer to thank." "(GRUNTING)" "(GROANS)" "I am going to restore your magic and you will serve me." "(WHOOSHING)" "(WHIMPERS)" "You've forgotten, warlock."

"Looking for you." "But that's a long story." "Warlock is dead." "Where's Ehren?" "She's gone." "I'm going to make this right." "I promise you." "Look at me." "(SNIFFLES)" "I promise you." "Thank you." "Lowed you, Hansel." "Don't get used to calling me that." "What of the witch?" "She's still out there, for now." "WOMAN: (SCREAMS) Help!" "Somebody help me!" "Help me!" "Help me!" "Help me!" "Anybody!" "HANSEL:" "Hello, Zhore." "It all ends tonight." "Go!" "Starting your own coven, Lara?" "Quite the opposite." "If you break our bindings, you will lose your magic and this time it will be gone from you forever." "It's your decision." "So be it." "As long as there's still magic in the world, there'll always be others like me." "And I'll look forward to killing them." "I'll send my regards with each and every one." "You'll never kill all of us, witchslayer!" "Stop." "What is it?" "Hansel, she and I shared a body for years." "She must die." "No." "She's too old and too weak to harm anyone now." "I have much forgiveness in my heart." "Gretl, you don't understand what you're asking." "Witchslayer." "We must leave her." "(CHUCKLES)" "Silly girl." "(SCREAMS)" "It's gone." "You're the last of us with magic." "I know how much you just gave up." "You'd do the same for me." "In a heartbeat." "Where to now, brother?" "The witch was right, she won't be the last." "We continue to fight to keep the world from going to hell." "Come no closer, strangers." "These woods are dangerous, even during the day." "I hear they are filled with witches." "There's no such thing as a witch, strangers." "That's what they say, but I know that's not true." "(SCREAMS)" "Told you she was a witch."
