- D'Leh!

She is alive.

We must hurry!

Why is Old Mother freezing?

White rain is not a friend of the hunter.

It swallowed all the marks of the stolen brothers and sisters.

It was now to the Fathers of the Yagahl to guide their way.

And they walked for many days and night to a faraway land

where the Great Mountains ended

and where the story of the child with the blue eyes began.

The place where the four-legged demons killed Evolet's people.

We've walked for days now. And still no marks!

- Maybe they do have wings.

- Maybe they do.

But our brothers and sisters do not.

Don't forget to chew.

Maybe she only lost it.

- It is hot here.

- Baku, stay close.

What was that?

- We must free them tonight.

- Not tonight.

This is not a good place.

They know there is danger out there, and they keep a good watch.

We do the same.

I will go first,

then Ka'Ren, then you.

D'Leh! Come!

I understand your pain.

But you must be patient.

...it does not.

D'Leh!

I will never give you up again.

This way!

Go!

D'Leh!

Run!

Over here! This way!

Ka'Ren!

Run! Run!

Tic'Tic! Go!

Tic'Tic!

D'Leh, Evolet, up here!

- D'Leh!

- I'll get the boy!

- No, do not go!

- I will come back for you. I promise.

Baku!

You should not be here.

I think he speaks of D'Leh.

Never...

...never run away from me again.

D'Leh will come back. He promised it to me.

- Ka'Ren, do you think he's still alive?

- Does not matter now.

He tried to save us!

Forgive me, Tic'Tic.

I should have listened to you.

Tonight I--I'll bring you food.

Old Mother was watching over their journey with all her strength

and her spirit stayed always by their side.

But that night, she could not rule over the forces of the earth

and could not stop the waters of the heavens.

D'Leh would have to face alone the mighty beast who rules these lands.

Do not eat me when I set you free!

- I feared you were dead.

- Do not fear for me.

Look, over there.

There was an attack. I heard them screaming.

This is where they went.

Tic'Tic, move away.

Come!

D'Leh, come back.

Move away!

You must remember me. I gave you life.

Speak to the Spear Tooth?

How do you come to speak our words?

Do not like Naku food?

It's different, but good.

- We come from over the mountains.

- We know where you come from.

How do you know? How do you come to speak our words?

A man come from the mountain before.

He was looking for a new land. Our wise man told me to learn his words.

You-- you have his face.

What happened to him?

He was taken a long time ago.

Taken where?

Come.

When your father came to us, he became my friend.

Then the evil spirits stole your father,

like many of our people.

They bring them to the nest of the great birds

and fly away over the sand.

Where do they take them?

To the Mountain of the Gods.

No one has ever returned.

Our wise man says you will lead us there.

Me?

We have a telling that

one day the one will come

who will free our people.

The one who speaks to the Spear Tooth.

And as the brave people of the Naku buried their dead,

they sent word to all the tribes of the land

that the one who speaks to Spear Tooth had come.

Their call was a call for war.

Why do they think I can free their people?

There's something you must know about your father.

When your mother died bringing you life,

your father took upon himself not only the weight of you,

but all our people.

We were starving.

He could not wait for Old Mother's prophecy to come true.

Your father did not run away.

He left to save our people.

How could you let me believe all this time

that my father betrayed us?

Because he wanted you to be that way.

Your father carried the White Spear.

He feared that when he left, others would follow him

and abandon our people.

And why do you tell me this now?

A good man

draws a circle around himself and cares for those within.

His woman, his children.

Other men draw a larger circle and bring within their brothers and sisters.

Some men

have a great destiny.

They must draw around themselves

a circle that encloses many, many more.

Your father

was one of those men.

You must decide for yourself

whether you are as well.

This is Kawu, our fastest runner.

He bring voice from the people who live that way.

They stole many more men.

And now they are moving to the great birds. Fast.

We must find them before they reach these birds.

You have no woman?

The day before you came,

they took her life.

And they stole our son.

I am Baku.

- Tudu.

- No, I am Baku.

Baku, Tudu.

Baku, Tudu.

He's killing him! You must help!

The word of the Naku traveled fast

and from all winds came many warriors.

The TukTuk,

who move like big running birds and hide their eyes behind trees.

The tribe of the Kuura, they are short like our young ones.

And from the valley without sun came the ones with blood on their heads.

But the strongest of them all were the Huta.

Their leader spoke for all the warriors of the land.

Tell him if his people walk with us, we will bring them down.

He says you are only a boy.

Tell him I am older than I loook.

Quina is a Hoda. Hoda do not laugh.

They walked faster and faster and did not slow down to eat or to rest.

And more spears joined them with each passing day.

This word "yahala", what does it mean?

They are your words: "We must bring them down."

The great birds have arrived.

Evolet!

Evolet!

Baku, D'Leh's here!

Tudu, that man with the spear, he will not give up.

Him and her.

Maybe the boy is right.

D'Leh cannot fly over the water like they can.

But who the could fight so many spears?

This river moves like a snake in the sun.

He says the eye of the snake rest under the sun

and under the moon does not move.

Is there a shorter way to the head of the snake?

We must look beyond the Great Sand.

But no one can walk that far.

The mountains and the sand, they all look the same.

And we will lose our way.

We will all day.

We will find the head of the snake.

And we will free our people!

We must rest.

The man from the river had spoken the truth.

They had walked in circles for many days and lost their way.

And the eye of the snake was nowhere to be found.

Tic'Tic, Tic'Tic... I found the eye of the snake!

You see that light? That one?

Remember what the river people said?

It rests under the sun, but under the moon

it does not move.

Nakudu, tell them what I said.

It will guide us to the head of the snake.

And as the last moon had come to the valley of the Yagahl,

it seemed that all spirits had left Old Mother.

She did not eat or speak for many moons

because she knew there was one last destiny to fulfill.

Wise Spirit...

It's me, Katan.

The mountains of the gods

and the head of the snake.

- Evolet, you are well?

- Ssh, don't speak.

Baku, come here!

How can a man do such a thing to a father manak?

They are not men like us, Baku.

Then what are they?

Some say they came from the stars.

Others believe that they flew across the Great Water
