"Medama Adela?" "It's time for the little prince's morning bath." "Medama Adela?" "They're dead." " What happened?" " They're all dead." "Lord Ebnezer, Adela and the little prince." "Close all the gates and search the castle." "You heard the Weapons Master." "Close the gates." "Search the castle." "Go on!" "Hurry up!" " Esmer, where are you?" "Did you close it?" " Yes." "Weapons Master?" "Mesire should see this." "You won't like it." "It's Mesire Drakan's cousin, Nicodemus." "Take us there, soldier." "Little Nicodemus." "I'll get the Law Master." "THE SHAMER'S DAUGHTER" "Come, Blaze." "Look away." "It's the Shamer's daughter." " Can I do it?" " No, it's my tum." "Sasia, give someone else a chance to court the princess." "Thea is next." " Dina, what are you doing here?" " I wanted to see what you're playing." "Maybe I could play." "Thea, look away." " Dina, are you really that stupid?" " You're strange." "Do you think we want to play with a little witch like you, Dina?" "Go home." "You're a weird little whore's daughter." "Go home to your Shamer mother." "Look at me!" "Look me in the eye, Cilla." "Look me in the eye." "Look at who you are." "I can see you now." "Look at yourself, Cilia." " I didn't touch her!" " Yes, she did." "Go home to your witch mother." "Davin." " Where have you been?" " Hi, Dina." "Mama has been looking for you." " Let's go, Melli." " Dinner is late because of you." "You'll survive, Melli." "You're the only one who can meet my gaze openly, Blaze." "Dina?" "Come here." "Come." "Look at me." " You shamed Cilla." " So what?" "It doesn't matter." "I'll never have any friends anyway." "They're all afraid of me." "When you look at other people   you show them all the things they'd rather forget." "Everything they're ashamed of." "And that scares people." "It's not fair." "Why did it have to be me?" "Why not Davin or Melli?" "Because you're very special." "You have a gift." "But you have to use it sensibly." "People being afraid of me isn't a gift." "First you have to learn when to use your gift and when not to." "Then I'll never use it." " Good evening." "Peace to the house." " And to you." " Are you Melussina Tonerre?" " Yes." "And your name?" " I'm not here in my own name." " Easy, Beastie." "I have a message from the Law Master in Dunark." "Lord Ebnezer, his pregnant wife and their 4-year-old have been murdered." "The Lord's adult son and heir, Nicodemus Ravens is suspected." "Come quickly to Dunark." "A Shamer's truthful gaze   is our last hope, since Nicodemus Won't confess." "The crown is toppling   and evil times will get worse if we don't act quickly." "We'll leave at once." "Davin, take good care of Melli and Dina while I'm gone." "I hear that the Law Master has sent for a Shamer." "That is correct." "Does Mesire have any objections?" "I'm surprised the council found it necessary." " Has Nicodemus confessed?" " No, not yet." "We're convinced he's guilty." "But since he won't confess, the Shamer is our only recourse." " Why isn't she back yet?" " She'll be home soon, Melli." "Soon." "Come here, Beastie." "Come here!" "Is this the Shamer's house?" " Yes, but she isn't here right now." " I know." " Are you her daughter?" " Yes, Dina Tonerre." "My name is Drakan." "Your mother sent me." " She needs your help." " Why?" "It's best that she explains it to Dina herself." "Don't be afraid." "You aren't, are you?" "No." "Can you leave right away?" "Dina..." " Take this." " Davin, nothing bad will happen." " I looked him in the eye." " Just do as I say." " Goodbye, Dina." " Goodbye." " Just a minute!" " Come." "Mama." "Dina, what are you doing here?" " Why is she here?" " Medama has three children." "But only Dina has Medama's gift." "Perhaps Dina can see what Medama cannot." "Does Mesire want Dina to shame Nicodemus?" "I have great respect for Medama's gift." " But Dina is just a child." " I know, but I have to try everything." "And Dina might be my last hope of getting justice." "I have seen Nicodemus's soul." "He has flaws like any other." "But he hasn't committed the terrible crime that Mesire talks about." "Dina." "I have lost my family." "Lord Ebnezer, Lady Adela and their unborn child   and their 4-year-old son." "Nicodemus was found dead drunk with the knife in his hand   and the blood of his victims on his hands." "I beg you..." "Dina, help me." "I couldn't look myself in the eye if I let a murderer go free." "Give us a moment alone." "Of course." " He looked us in the eye." " Yes." "He's certainly not ashamed." " Dina..." " I don't want to." " You have to." " I don't want to." "A person's life is at stake." "The Shamer's signet." "But, mama, I can't..." "Respect it, just like your ancestors and I did." "Just look him in the eye and tell Drakan what you see." "Go on in, Dina." "Come, Dina." "Leave us." "Wine?" "!" "You need to fortify yourself, don't you?" "Who is she?" " The Shamer's daughter." " Dina Tonerre." "Oh God, no." "I can't take anymore." "Not now." "I can't." "Drakan?" "Please leave." "Here you go." "Thank you, Medamina." "Just call me Dina." "Dina." "Then you can call me Nico." "My friends did." "Just look at me." "Look at me." "Look me in the eye, Nico." "I see you." "I see you." "I see you right now." "Fight, Nicodemus!" "Fight, you weakling!" " You're ashamed of drinking." " You're weak!" "You have to honour your name and the House of Ravens." "Do it, Drakan." "You're ashamed because your father thinks you're weak." " Do it, Drakan." " Bloody tyrant!" "You're ashamed of seducing your father's new wife." "Fight!" "Adela...!" "Is this you?" "You're ashamed of wanting to kill your father." "Draco?" "Draco." " All quiet?" " Yes, Mesire." "Good." "I can't see his guilt." "He's ashamed of many things   but he didn't kill his father or his family." "Thank you, Dina." "Come here." "What are you doing?" "What are you doing?" "Let me go." "Help!" "Let me go!" "Let go!" "Nico, help!" "Drakan!" "You won't get any more chances, since you've killed the Shamer's daughter." "What was that?" "A knife." "A very small knife, but still a knife." "Let me go!" "You'll soon find peace." "Let me go." "Let me go." "I see you." "I see you right now." "Impossible." "You were born to rule, my boy." "Go away." "Go away, Drakan!" "No." "Mama?" "!" "Mama?" "!" "Mama?" "Mama?" " Oh, it's you." " Where is my mother?" " Where is Drakan?" " Where is my mother?" "She's on her way." "Sit down." "We'll wait for her." "There." "There you go." "Dina, come!" "Come." " Come on." "We have to get out of here." " Lady Death tried to kill me." "She's Drakan's mother." "Drakan's men will kill me when they find him." " Is he dead?" " I think so." "Come on." " Where are we going?" " Down to the water." "Come." " Nico!" " They won't enter the Dragon Pit." "The Dragon Pit?" "We can get out on the other side." "Come on." "Just stay behind me." "Think of them as overgrown lizards." "Come." " Nico." " Just keep walking." "Walk, Dina." "Draco, over here." "Draco!" "Nico!" "No!" "Dina." "Easy now, little girl." "You are strong." "Everything people want to forget." "Everything people are ashamed of." " Everything, little girl." " Everything, Dina." "And understand when to use your gift and when not to." "The herbs will heal your wounds and expel the venom." "You are strong." "This has been running for 11 months and two days." "But even the best perpetual motion machine loses energy every day." " And eventually stops." " Then why bother even trying?" "Although the laws of physics say it's impossible, I have to try." "Things are only impossible till someone's done them." " Nico." " Dina." " How are you?" " I don't really know." "Are you thirsty and hungry?" " Where are we?" " At Master Maunus's house." "He was my tutor." "Good morning, young lady." "Go in and sit down." "I made soup." "Have a seat." "And a bit of salt." "That wasn't salt." " It's just me." " Good." "It's her." " You're up and about, little girl." " This is my niece." "She's a pharmacist." " I'm here to change your bandage." " When can they leave?" "They posted more guards at the gate." "We have to get them out quickly." "Where are we going?" "I'm not leaving without mother." "Drakan and his men are looking all over for you." "They've already searched Swill Town." "Soon they'll come here." "Drakan..." " Isn't he dead?" " No, unfortunately not." "You stabbed him in the neck." "How could he survive?" "A man who drinks dragon blood isn't easy to kill." "Dragon blood?" "Dragon blood can give you superhuman strength for a short while." "Nicodemus tried to kill Drakan and fled with Medama's daughter." "I can't explain their escape or the attack on Mesire Drakan." "Why would an innocent do that?" "And why flee?" " I can't answer that." " No more talk." "Medama Tonerre can't help us." "We have another task." "Dunark is without leadership." "We must proclaim a new lord." " The Raven's time is over." " You, Drakan..." "As long as Nicodemus's guilt isn't proven   he's still the heir to the throne of Dunark." "And in his absence " " I am the supreme authority." "I fully understand the Law Master's decision   but I also have a duty to Dunark, the people and my lineage." "I relieve Mesire of his duties." "What is going on here, Mesire Drakan?" "I'm no longer a Mesire, dear Law Master." "I'm the Lord." "No!" "Does anyone else want to accompany the Law Master?" "Or can the Order of the Dragon expect your absolute loyalty henceforth?" "It is hereby made known to every citizen of Dunark   that Nicodemus Ravens, son of Lord Ebnezer Ravens of Dunark   has been found guilty of patricide   and the murders of Lady Adela Ravens and her son, Bian Ravens " " for which crimes he must be made to pay with his life." "Nicodemus Ravens forfeits every right, all goods, all titles and inheritance   and is to be known as an outlaw." "All able-bodied men can report to the Garrison Gate." "The Dragonlord rewards everyone who serves him loyally." "It is further made known that since the House of Ravens is without an heir   the governance of Dunark Town and Castle falls to Drakan... hereafter Dragonlord of rank and name and blood son." "The Dragonlord needs everyone despite their size." "A new time has come." "The House of Ravens is down." "The Order of the Dragon has risen where the Raven fell." "When one Raven is accused of killing three others, their house falls." "What does he mean by blood son?" "Drakan claims to be my father's illegitimate son   born out of wedlock." "Well..." "Is it true?" "Is it?" "Yes." "Drakan is your half-brother." "You weren't supposed to be told, but..." "Nico, listen." "Your father was quite willing to let Dama Lizea into his bedchamber." " So you say now." " I see." "But he didn't want to give her power by marrying her." "As Nico's half-brother, Drakan is the sole heir now." "Yes." "Open up in the name of the Dragonlord." "Come!" "Quickly!" "Hurry up." " Hide in the locker seat, Nico." " Open up." "Go on!" "Get in!" "Break down the door." " What are you doing?" " Move." " We have orders to search the house." " What?" "No!" "You can't." "Not that one!" "No, no, no." "Stop it!" "No, that is irreplaceable." "Not in there!" "You have no idea what you're doing!" "Now look!" "Those fumes are toxic." "Out!" "Everyone out!" "Stay here and keep searching." "It's just ammonia." "No more tricks, Master Maunus." "Where is Nicodemus Ravens?" "Why would I shelter a murderer?" "I haven't seen him for years." "What an appetite you have." "Do you always eat for three?" " He isn't here." "I've searched." " He is here." " The Shamer's brat is here too." " I swear..." "He isn't here." " Take him outside." " Don't do it, Drakan." "Don't do it!" "Drakan, don't." "Drakan, I beg you!" "Drakan." "No." "Nico." "Nico!" "Nico!" "Nico!" "The old man has defied the Dragonlord and must pay for it." "Go home." "Everything is under control." "Seize the girl!" "Nico!" "Come out!" "Nico!" "Nico!" "Nico!" "No." "Nico!" "No." "Nico!" "Nicodemus Ravens is dead." "What kind of man are you?" "Take the girl and Master Maunus with you." "Dina, get ready." "Run, Dina!" "Damn!" "You're playing with fire, Master Maunus." "Let's go." " Empty your pockets now!" " Forget him!" "Find the girl!" "Go!" "It's as if she disappeared into thin air." "Why does the Dragonlord fear the Shamer louse?" "Did you let her look into you?" "Of course not." " Did she try?" " She tried, but saw nothing." "Then what does the Dragonlord have to fear?" "If we arrange a public execution of the Shamer   would it lure the little Shamer out of her hiding place?" "The people love a good execution." "Furthermore, it would make my coronation extremely spectacular." "No one dares execute a Shamer." "The people fear the Shamer." "But I will relieve them of that fear." "I will free the people." "I will free the people." "Get off!" "I have a knife." "There's room enough for two." "I mean it!" "Go away!" "You're strange." "If you say so." "Are you there, Rose?" "Out you go." " I see that you brought a friend." " We're not friends." " Can I have some bread?" " Go away." "How did you do that?" "I'll give it to you if we can switch clothes." "I knew it!" "There's something strange about you." "Give me the bread." "I'll give it to you if you get me some other clothes." "Wait!" "Come on." "Be very quiet." "Shh..." " Rose, is that you?" " Yes, Ma." "Where have you been?" "Out." "Go back to sleep." "Bloody cackling." " What are you doing in my chest?" " It isn't yours." "Everything here is mine." "You don't own a crumb." "Hands off!" "Aun, don't." " Who is that?" " A friend of mine." "You don't have friends." "Where have you been?" "Answer me." "I'm the master of the house." "You're not the master of anything." "Give me my things." "No!" "Stop it." "It's your sister." "Then I'll take it out on you, Ma." "She's a bastard brat   that you got whoring around my father." "If she's going to live here, she has to earn her keep." " Get out!" "Get out!" " Let me go." "Let go." "That goes for you too." "Look at me." "I can see you now." "How pitiful." "I know what you're afraid of." "That we're all laughing at you." "Just like everyone else at the inn." "And we are." "We're leaving, and we're laughing at you." "You're laughable." "Aun...?" "You're the one everyone is looking for." "You're the Shamer's daughter." "Come." "Dina Tonerre." "And you don't have to look me in the eye." "How do you do it?" " I just do it." " Do it again." "I want to see more." " / feel like..." " You have nothing to be ashamed of." "I don't?" "You're you." "It doesn't matter who your father is." " Will you help?" " With what?" "I have to find a pharmacist called Madame Petri." "She's the only one who can help me find my mother." "We have to change your looks first." "Look." "No." "I still look like myself." "You look just like a boy." " But what a strange boy." " No one will recognize you." "See?" "Now we have to find Madame Petri." "Step forward." "Come see the dragon in chains." "Step forward, folks." "Come." " Can you see it?" " Not yet." " What?" " The dragon." "They're luring it out for tomorrow." "What happens tomorrow?" "Lord Drakan's coronation and the execution of the Shamer witch." "What Shamer witch?" "The one who tried to get the Nicodemus monster acquitted." "She was found guilty of witchcraft and treason." "She'll be thrown to the dragons tomorrow." "Move." "Come, Dina." " Run, Dina!" " Stop!" "No!" "This way!" " This way!" " Stop him!" "Why are you running?" "Let me go." " You're coming with me." " Let me go!" "Let me see." "What did you steal?" "There's something strange about him." " What did the birdbrain do?" " He didn't stop." " Get up, boy." " Get up." "That was quite a catch, Esmer." " He looks dangerous." " Give him his belt and let him go." "May I have my belt, sir?" "Your hands are too soft." "This isn't a boy's hand." " Look at me." " Let go." "Look at me!" "Is this how you treat those who are weaker than you?" "Will you also feed me to the dragons?" "I see it." "I see you." "What are you taking part in?" "Aren't you ashamed?" " You're the Shamer's daughter." " Get away from her." "She's a witch." "Stop!" "Take her away." "Rose!" " Let me go!" " Sorry." "Rose!" "Let me go!" "Leave me alone." " Let me go." " Dina?" "Be still." "Open up!" "Dina!" " Mama!" " Dina!" "Mama!" "Yes?" "Approach." "What do you think?" "Is this worthy of a lord?" "Yes... absolutely." " Can I have a word in private?" " Leave us." "With all due respect " " I must voice my concern about the Dragonlord's choice." "We can't give the Shamer's daughter to the dragons in public." "Of course I can." "She must die, and the dragons will love her." "Your thoughts, Weapons Master?" "She must die of course, but not like that." "It will upset the men." "They don't like seeing a child being killed." "She's a witch, and the dragons deserve her." "Why all the undue attention   when I can solve the problem discreetly?" "The Weapons Master is right." "We need the people behind us, Drakan." "What is your plan, Weapons Master?" "I could take her tonight   so people think that the Dragonlord has banished her." "Then he will seem merciful." "Merciful?" "Drakan the Merciful." "It's a noble thought, dear Weapons Master." "But I haven't searched all of Dunark to find that Shamer's spawn   just to let her be an outcast." "She must die." "And she will." "The people will think she's been freed, and rightly so." "Is there greater freedom than flying down from Dunark Rock?" "It's a suitable end for a witch." "I'll cut her throat first." "See that it's done." "No, don't!" "Quiet!" "Let's go." "Get out of here and don't come back." "Wait..." "What about my mother?" " Drakan will kill her." " We can't do anything about it." "Save yourself, Dina." "Off you go." "I won't go without Mother." "Go now!" "Drakan will kill you!" " Not if you help us." " I can't help you." "You want justice." "You can't live under Drakan's rule." "You can't." "The Lord is dead." "Nicodemus is dead and Adela and little Bian..." "The future belongs to the Dragon." "Mother is innocent, just like them." "You know it." "You know that it's your duty to help us." " You have no choice." " Why not?" "Because you know what's right and what's wrong." "I've seen it." "I see you right now." "You've killed many men in battle, but without shame." "But you're ashamed now of what you let Drakan do to the Lord, to Adela," "and to Nico and little Bian." "You want to do the right thing." "Bloody hell, yes!" "Do you know where the pharmacist's house is?" "Madame Petri?" "Go, girls." "Off you go." "Hurry!" "Go on." "What do you want?" "Dina!" "Come." "Come in." " And who is this girl?" " My friend Rose." "What are you doing here?" " Let's go inside." "We can't talk here." " We can trust him, Madame Petri." "I'm not here to hurt anyone." "Nico!" "Wait..." "No!" "Mesire Nicodemus." "Let me apologize for doubting your innocence." "What are you doing here?" "I swear allegiance to the House of Ravens." "And I swear on my life that I will fight against Drakan." "Get up." "Get up!" "Mesire." " I thought you were dead." " And I you." "You fell into the sea with the house." "I heard you calling." "It was best if you thought I was gone." "I was outside." "Nico!" " Outside?" " Outside and below." "Nico!" "No!" "Only two of my men are faithful to the House of Ravens." "We can't count on the rest." "They fear Drakan." "Then we have to avoid fighting." "Freeing Dina's mother is crucial." "No one is free until Drakan is dead and you're on the throne." "Your innocence must be proven and Drakan exposed." "It's a noble purpose   but we only have justice on our side." "Drakan has a whole army." "As long as Drakan thinks that Dina and Nico are dead   and that the Shamer soon will be, we have an advantage." "If we can get Dina close to Drakan   you could do the same thing to him that you did to me." "I don't know if I can." "The people would see his guilt." "And your mother would be freed." "You're our only chance, Dina." "I would like to help too." "Can you shame people?" "No, but I have a knife." "You have a knife." "I'll send word to your siblings, Dina." "Goodnight." "Goodnight." " Look at me." " What?" "Look at me." "Then I'll know that I dare." "Are you ready to rise from the dead?" "She's in league with the witch." "I'll take her to the dungeon myself." "Now what?" "What has she...?" "Where were you?" "I thought you were going to miss the whole thing." "We're not here to see an innocent person executed." "We're here to prevent it." "It's time to choose sides." "We serve the Dragonlord." "Unfortunately, that's what we thought." "My beloved people." "You have lost a lord." "And I have lost my father." "But today I give you justice!" "The witch   who was in league with the murderer, Nicodemus Ravens   shall die!" "As of today, hope will again reign over Dunark   and the Dragon's era can begin." "I hereby give you... the Shamer witch!" "Let the witch die!" "Let the witch die!" "Drakan is the murderer!" "Drakan is the murderer!" "Drakan did it!" "Stop!" "Who dares to speak?" "I am the Shamer's daughter." "Drakan is the one who killed them all." "And he doesn't even dare look me in the eye." "Let him come down and look me in the eye." "He wants to kill my mother!" "Just like he killed the House of Ravens." "Drakan did it." "He doesn't dare look her in the eye." " Look at me instead!" " You!" "You little louse!" "What do you think you can do?" "What?" "Make me break down with shame?" "Do it, Drakan." "He doesn't dare." "Fine." "See whatever you want." "I see you." "I'll never be ashamed of what you want me to be." "I took their lives with pride and with joy." "Do you see now?" "They're nothing but witches." "Seize the Weapons Master!" "Bring him here." "He's a traitor." "No!" "Today we root out evil in Dunark once and for all!" "Yes!" "Death to the witches!" "Open the Dragon Gate." "Run!" " Run, Dina!" " No!" "No!" " Run away, Dina." " I don't want to." "I won't!" "Run, Dina." "Run." "Look at yourself." "Are you doing the right thing?" "Look at yourself." "Look at yourself." "Is this a good and worthy act?" "Look inside." "Look at yourself." "Are you doing the right thing?" "Look inside." "Look at yourself." "Are you doing the right thing?" "Are you doing the right thing?" "My mother did the right thing." "He did it." "Drakan is guilty." "He's the one who killed them." "But Drakan isn't ashamed of it." "Does Drakan being shameless have to cost us our lives?" " Nicodemus is innocent!" " Drakan is the murderer." "If you are not with me   you will die!" "Open all the Dragon gates." "NOW!" "Now." "Move!" "Out of the way!" "Seize the traitors!" "Seize them!" "They're in league with the witches!" "Seize him!" "Nico!" " Nico!" " Run!" "Goodbye, little brother." "Be a man." "Nico!" "Dina!" "Come on!" "Do it!" "Perhaps Father was right." "Nico!" "Get it over with." " Now!" " You can do it." "Nico!" "Do it!" "Nico, do it." "Hannes, come on!" "Hurry!" "No!" "Do you have the bottle?" "Follow me." "Drakan...!" "Drakan!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "This is where the Kensie clan lives." "Welcome to the highlands." "Beastie!" "Beastie!" "Davin, Melli!" " I knew you would come back." " Of course I would, dear." "I said so." "Are you looking at the stars?" "I could have killed him." "In the Arsenal Court." "If I ever get the chance again " " I won't have mercy on Drakan." "When you get the chance." "When I get the chance." "Nico!"
