Dragonheart 3: The Sorcerer's Curse Page #4

knight's request for protection,

won't they?

Yes, honor's

in their every word.

Well, I know

a place we can shelter.

The Druid's Circle,

where I was to get my robe.

No more.

The curse grows stronger.

I can't move.

You have to fight it.

Brude is a potent sorcerer,

which apparently I'll never be.

I can't find a way

to break the curse.

I am now a danger to you all.

You must leave.

We need you.

I will not be enslaved.

I will take my own life first.

And mine?

No!

There must be another way.

Rhonu is right.

I can't take your life.

Choices must be one's own.

I never thanked you for

sharing your heart with me.

And I never said I was sorry

for doubting

that you're a true knight.

It is time.

Will I still feel your heart?

What do I do?

What happens now?

Follow the code,

like a knight always does.

I'm not a knight.

I never was.

I don't even know

what one is anymore.

On the other side of the Wall,

there is no code.

It's just cruelty.

I'm sorry.

Gareth,

if you would truly be a knight,

your might will uphold the weak,

your word will speak only truth.

And if this is to be

my last dawn of freedom,

I'm glad you were

here by my side,

my friend.

Well, this is it.

We can't run any further.

Stay hidden.

Oh! Oh!

Hey, wait! They'll shoot

one of us on sight.

Hail! Hail!

Men of the Wall!

It's me! Gareth!

Don't shoot!

Hold your fire!

Don't shoot!

Man approaching!

Don't shoot!

On your post!

It's me!

Kalin, it's Gareth!

I returned from the north!

Kalin, open the gate.

Any moment, a pack

of savages will come

through those trees,

hundreds of them...

Well, what have we here?

...led by a cruel and powerful

sorcerer and a dragon.

You won't be laughing

when you're under attack.

So you've returned!

Not empty-handed, I hope.

A dragon's egg, made of gold.

What's he doing?

Showing his true heart.

Gareth! Wait!

Don't!

Archers ready!

No, wait.

They're with me.

Fire on my command.

Look!

I see you've found the fortune

you needed to buy

your knighthood.

Chosen, was it?

I don't want it anymore.

Open the gates.

You have to believe me.

I just want to help.

Open the gate!

Your quest hasn't improved

the company that you keep.

But you've certainly accomplished

what I asked of you.

For this marvelous creation,

I would knight you.

But, seeing as

you've brought this,

what is it,

a powerful sorcerer to my wall?

I'd have you denied.

Welcome,

my pet.

Tonight, you will be

mine in body and mind.

Was this part of your plan?

He's led us to our deaths.

And you, druid.

You said he'd help free us.

What are they waiting for?

The fools have

forgotten their ladders.

They can't get over the Wall.

They're waiting for the moon!

Waiting for Drago.

If we're up here

when he attacks,

we'll be burned to ash.

I can free Gareth.

But you can't do the rope trick

because he's in chains.

This is no rope trick.

I hear your king has

feasted on every creature

that walks, flies or swims.

He will pay handsomely

to consume these rarities.

Now, my child.

- To arms!

- To arms!

Moon and sun, two as one.

Switching stance, druids dance.

Lorne? How did he...

Get up to the wall, you cowards!

Feed!

- To battle!

- To battle!

We've lost him.

Drago's gone.

We've lost everything!

And the best thing

I could do is put an arrow

straight through

your heart and his!

Kill me if you want.

But the only good part

of Drago left is in here!

He shared his heart with me

before he was cursed.

But what are you gonna do?

Give it back to him?

I'm going to do

what the code requires.

Onward!

We've lost the dragon!

I've led you to a slaughter!

Come this far, my dillie.

I'm seeing the other

side of that wall!

Charge!

Grab what you can.

No need to count.

Closed for business.

You still trying to earn

a silver sword?

This one will do.

Leave.

You see what

caring about savages

unworthy of your status brings?

You've doomed this settlement.

A knight is sworn to valor.

That old rhyme?

Just poetry, boy.

It's more than

you ever taught me.

And if it wasn't

for those words,

I'd still be

stealing from the poor.

And you'd still have

your head!

My blade shall

defend the helpless.

See? I've taught

you something.

And now for your

last lesson, squire.

The old codes have

been bought and sold.

A knight is only

worth his profit!

Aim for their front line.

You, raise your elbow.

Don't they teach you

anything here?

Better.

Life takes some

damn strange turns.

Ahhh!

I won't leave their side.

Our hearts know only virtue.

Brave lass.

Show me the dragon's eggs

and I'll spare you the noose.

Rhonu!

For my mother!

Run! Run!

Gareth!

The curse is broken!

You saved me!

The village idiot strikes again!

I only see a knight.

Sir Gareth.

Druid's alive!

Get him down!

Gareth?

I guess it worked.

I'd say you've earned that robe.

Gareth!

Gareth!

Hold on, Rhonu.

We did it.

We won.

Gareth.

Now we really do have

something in common.

Let today mark

the beginning of a new age,

with the wisdom of the

dragons and the Old Code.

We can lay down our weapons

and unite together in peace.

Sir Gareth!

This will now be called

the Dragon's Gate,

and it will always remain open

for people from both sides.

Am I the chosen one now?

Choices must always

be one's own.

Ah! Welcome from the north.

Hi, there.

Would you like a gold dragon mug,

sir?

Uh, that one.

This one?

Yeah.

This is the best.

One only. That one?

Okay.

Welcome, Northerners.

Who would like a dragon pot?
