Dragonheart Page #5

l had to wait for a time

when mankind...

would not repeat my mistake

and let tyranny thrive.

When there would be those

who remembered the Once-ways...

remembered that even in the darkness

there is still light.

l cannot see.

Are the stars shining tonight?

Brightly, my lord.

Brightly.

Then let us end it.

Forgive me!

l know why you brought me

the dragonslayers.

You wanted them to kill him

because you wanted me dead.

l wanted to correct

a mistake made years ago...

when l saved a creature

not worth saving.

How un-motherly of you.

We have to open the gates.

The rest of us

are waiting outside.

Go save your dragon, Bowen.

Hurry, all of you.

lt's this way.

Well, well, well,

what a pleasant surprise.

l expected you, Bowen,

but with my bride-to-be as well?

- And with a priest to wed us.

- To bury you.

Well, to bury one of us.

Kara, the door, quickly!

Hurry up. That way.

That way.

Quickly, this way.

This way.

Come on. Hurry up.

Now, l don't know how

you all got in here...

but l tell you this:

you are going to get me out.

Hewe, thank you.

Let me cut it

down to size for you.

A girl.

A girl!

Bowen!

Lo, l'm immortal.

- Yeah!

- Huh?

Now it's you, Bowen.

lt's you that has to do it!

What are you talking about?

As the heart binds Einon to me in life,

it binds us in death.

- That's not true!

- You've seen that it is!

Through the heart,

we share each other's pains and power.

But in my half

beats the life source.

For Einon to die,

l must die!

Einon is dead.

- He lives!

- lt doesn't matter.

Don't you hear it?

Our rebels have stormed the castle.

Alive or dead, Einon's beaten.

We've won!

You will never win

until Einon's evil is destroyed...

and to do that,

you must destroy me!

Once you swore your sword

and service were mine...

to call when l had need of you,

to ask what l would of you.

l hold you to your vow, Knight!

He's coming,

coming to stop you!

Strike before it's too late!

You are the last.

My time is over. Strike!

You are my friend.

Then, as my friend,

strike, please!

- l can't.

- Then l will make you.

Fight back, dragonslayer!

Defend yourself!

Pick it up!

Move, and she dies!

What now, Draco?

Without you...

what do we do?

Where do we turn?

To the stars, Bowen.

To the stars.

And in the days following

Draco's sacrifice...

Bowen and Kara led the people

in a time of justice and brotherhood.

As l remember it now,

those were golden years...

warmed by an unworldly light.

And when things

became the most difficult...

Draco's star shone

more brightly...

for all of us

who knew where to look.
