Conan the Destroyer Page #2

- Covering your wound.

My wound is lower.

We don't want an infection to spread.

I'll spread your head open.

Is this what the world has come to?

You try to help somebody

and what do you get instead of thanks?

Threats.

Now, yell if it hurts.

I suppose nothing hurts you.

Only pain.

After we return to Shadizar,

what will you do?

I'll find my kingdom

and a queen to sit beside me.

What kingdom?

The promise I was kingdomed.

No...

The kingdom I was promised.

- What queen?

- Valeria.

- Valeria...

- Valeria.

What is she like, this... Valeria?

Do you see this woman over there?

- Zula?

- Valeria is like her.

She doesn't look like her,

but she has the same... spirit.

The same... The same...

Strength?

Strength. Strength.

And she's a warrior too?

A great warrior.

A great woman.

Could there ever be...

anyone else but her?

Another queen?

Lot on your knife.

Not on your life.

Excuse me. I must get up now.

How do you feel?

Welcome.

You are welcome.

I didn't know women could be warriors.

All my tribe are warriors.

Well, it seems that

men like women warriors.

Some.

Do you think that I could ever be one?

I could teach you how to use this.

Yes. Please.

Now, the power is in the wrists.

Oh, I see. Like this?

That's right. They've got to stay loose.

It takes practice and strength.

Wait!

Wait! Wait, wait, wait, wait!

Hold on.

lf you're going to learn how to fight,

then learn with a real weapon.

Not with a toothpick.

Here. I'll show you. Stand like this.

Yes. You do it. Try it.

And then swing it over your head.

I'll help you. Swing over your head.

good.

Now you're ready to take on anybody.

How do you attract a man?

What I mean is...

suppose you set your heart on somebody,

what would you do to get him?

grab him! And take him!

You'd grab him and... and take him?

Take him, like that!

- What did she mean?

- What did she say?

Well, she said that if she wanted a man,

she'd reach out and take him.

good idea.

But then what? I mean, you've got him.

What do you do with him?

That's easy. You see, you just...

You...

You see, in order for a man

to really know a woman

and for her to know him, they have to...

they have to... to join.

Join?

get together.

You see, he has to take his... his...

and grab her by the...

There you are, joined.

I mean, how do you think flowers grow?

- Through this?

- Yes.

Is this the only way?

- Yes.

- We can't go around it?

I go where I feel myself led.

So I've noticed.

That way.

Shouldn't one of us

go back and stand guard?

Bombaata.

Together.

Here, let me help.

Malak, go inside and see if there's a lock.

- You mean in there?

- go!

I found something. Let go. Easy.

''It is written in the scrolls of Skelos

that the horn will be

found by a woman child.''

''A virgin, who will have a mark upon her.''

''And when the horn is placed once more

in the forehead of the dreaming god,

Dagoth will arise.''

''Then let men fear.''

''Death to the world.''

''The woman child will be sacrificed.''

- Stop her!

- Be silent!

Crom!

Death to the world.

Life for Valeria.

The girl's destiny isn't only

to deliver the horn.

It's just writing on a wall.

She is to be killed. Sacrificed.

We shall see, destiny or not.

Everybody out!

Out!

Wait! It's worth a fortune!

- We come in peace.

- Then let us go in peace.

Let the girl come forward.

We've been waiting for her all our lives.

We are the keepers of the horn.

It belongs to us.

No longer.

- Who are you?

- Conan.

I have heard of you.

Do you know the legend

written on the wall of the crypt?

From the day of my birth.

Then you know what will happen

if the horn is placed back

in the forehead of Dagoth.

The god will live again.

And we who give him life will stand by his

right hand and rule the world with him.

You will die in the great evil

that will come from his rebirth!

- We will control him.

- No one is able to control him!

His power and his evil are too great!

give us the girl or we'll take her!

Enough talk!

Back to the crypt!

Bombaata, get out!

Out! Let's get out of here!

Behind the dragon there's a tunnel.

It could be our only way out.

The jewel. Take the jewel.

Hurry, hurry.

That way.

Malak! Malak, come on!

Malak!

It's the leader. He's a wizard.

- He's forcing the mouth open.

- Well, stop him. Kill him or something.

- My dagger is gone. You kill him.

- Not me. It's bad luck to kill a wizard.

Wait. There is a better way

to take care of a wizard.

Well done, Akiro.

lnto the tunnel.

Don't stop. Hurry! Hurry!

Run! Run!

- Where are the others?

- They're coming. Don't worry. go!

- They've gone.

- Taken their horses.

Or been captured. Let's flee.

Wait.

Bombaata took her.

Taramis planned it from the beginning.

We get the horn, her guards will kill us,

and Bombaata takes the girl

and the horn back to her.

- And her promise to you?

- A lie.

- Where are we going?

- To Shadizar.

- What for?

- To stop Jehnna's sacrifice.

But it's her destiny. It can't be stopped.

- You don't have to come.

I will.

I will.

I won't!

I mean, what's in it for us?

What are we? Some charitable

institution? We're thieves!

go! I won't help!

Hey!

Hey, wait for me!

You know you can't do without me!

Wait, Conan, wait!

Do you have the treasure?

Bring it to me.

Reserves to guard the palace.

There must be hundreds of them

around it. We can't get in there.

Well, you can't say we didn't try.

- The front gate can't be the only way in.

- Oh, it isn't...

Malak?

At the bottom, behind the waterfall,

there's an entrance.

It used to be an exit. My cousin's sister's

brother dug his way out there,

when he was a prisoner in Shadizar.

Today is your birthday.

All of Shadizar is celebrating.

Drink.

To life. To Dagoth.

To Dagoth.

Oh, Dagoth, god of gods.

My cousin's sister's brother

never said anything about bars.

How do we get back up?

The bars were put up after

your sister's brother's cousin escaped!

Cousin's sister's brother. How many

times do I have to tell you that?

- You said your sister's brother's cousin!

- Who cares who it is?

What difference does it make?

At the first sign of life in our god,

the girl must be sacrificed.

Or, as the scrolls of Skelos say,

a catastrophe will befall us.

Oh, Dagoth, god of gods.

Power above all power.

Kill her!

Save the girl!

Kill her! Kill her! She must be sacrificed.

No!

get back!

Down the steps!

No!

Run!

His horn is his life! Tear out the horn!

Zula.

I need a captain of the guards.

I see no reason why a woman

wouldn't do as well as a man.

- You.

- Me?

Come here.

I understand that every king or queen

must have a fool.

- Do I qualify?

- More than qualify.

Will the world's greatest

wizard come forward, please?

At your service.

One cannot rule without wisdom.

- Let me instruct you in the fine art of...

- Later.

Rule Shadizar with me.

I will have my own kingdom,

my own queen.

So it was that Conan
