didn't show up.

- Stop.

- Ask me properly.

You feel like you've lost something.

Something you can't have back

until you have fulfilled your mission.

Stop it!

Here. For the tempering water

your father used.

Nectar from six flowers

and seven grasses.

Welcome back, my dear friend.

Who are you?

- I got that open.

- The force inside you got it open.

- You're the son of Seng-Pu the Smith.

- What do I need to do?

Forge me the Sampo.

It is the secret source

of all happiness.

I'm not a good smith.

Actually I suck.

Somewhere deep in your mind

lies a force.

The same one your father had.

And he got his loved one.

A force? What force...

- Did you just put a sword in

my stomach? -Yep yep.

Listen.

I think I'll die now.

Iron wanted to be with Fire,

but Fire burned it...

...and Iron escaped to the swamps.

Iron hid long in the swamps.

So long it forgot why it was born.

Until a wolf ran across the swamp and

the earth was moved in its tracks.

Up to those tracks Iron rose

and your father found it.

Now you know the birth of Iron

but it knows nothing about you.

- Tell Iron who you are.

- I'm Kai. Kai Pelkonen.

- How were you born? - Like everyone

else. In a hospital. My mother...

How did you become a smith?

I met Ronja. She needed a lock.

I lied I was a locksmith.

The lock came out lousy,

but then I learned.

I learned and learned,

until I didn't need to lie anymore.

Turned out Ronja knew all along

I wasn't a real smith.

- Ronja made me the smith I am now.

- And the smith you are yet to become.

Iron trusts you now.

You are not going to die.

You have been born again.

I imagined this forge in my head.

All the time, everywhere.

I knew that you would come.

Who are you?

I'm your Hope.

Forge me the Sampo...

...and I promise you'll get

your loved one back.

(Neon light:
Pieces of Sampo)

Are you still open?

- Did you come to get

your boyfriend's things back? -No.

I came by accident.

I don't want to live surrounded

by remains of our story.

- That is sad.

- It is wise, rather.

Of all the national epics I have

studied, that is the saddest one.

The same story, over and over again.

No one gets the one they love.

My Kalevala will be different.

A love story.

I really don't care for those things.

We fall in love with the most primal

part of our brain, the reptile brain.

Our serotonin level drops to

that of neurosis.

This should normally create

depression but with a person in love...

...the result is worship

of the object of their love.

And it works like a drug.

But when the drug wears off...

...the body can no longer imagine

itself without the other person.

And they gave a name to this

dependency:
Love.

You can put that into your Kalevala.

It will be a love story of all times

when love stories still existed.

We don't get to experience

anything like that anymore.

What are you doing?

Iron has now been forced into its

form, but it has to accept it itself.

It mustn't heat up too much

too fast, or it's ruined.

My name is Sintai Seng-Pu.

I am the one who shall kill

the son of the Nocktress.

Grandfather. You're drunk.

You will all talk to

my grandfather later.

What is your name?

Pin Yu.

Granddaughter of the Village Elder.

Who are you really?

I am Sintai.

The only son of Seng-Pu the Smith.

You don't look like

the son of Seng-Pu.

My mother came from a faraway

northern land.

My parents are dead.

I am alone.

Is there something more

you wish to say?

I don't know how to say it.

Thus I wonder, poor, poor boy...

How to be and how to live...

Should I make my home in fire?

Should I lock my gates in silence?

A secret weapon?

- Songs from my mother's old country.

- Beautiful. So beautiful.

When are you planning to

set out to the swamps?

You were supposed to leave yesterday.

People have begun to flee

from the village.

I am waiting for a sign.

Is that the real reason

for your delay?

No.

Before I saw you, I feared nothing.

Not even death.

But now I have begun to fear.

I fear that I shall defeat the demon...

...and be rewarded with

what the prophecy has promised me.

And will not be born again.

I do not wish to leave the earthly

joys and sorrows behind before...

...I have savored them with you.

I don't know you,

but I'm supposed to become yours...

...because only you can save us.

- I ask of you...

If you asked me to ride with you

to kill the demon, I would say yes.

You don't understand.

Haven't you ever been in love?

I ask of you for a reason

to return from battle.

I'm leaving.

We might never see each other again.

I know.

Do you still love me?

I do.

Has it always been me?

I promise to give you my answer soon,

Master Sintai.

Who are you talking to?

To myself.

It is nice.

But it's not the Sampo.

Did you send him to me?

Has faith bound us together?

- How did you get in here?

- Who is that?

The son of Seppo the Smith.

The saddest hero of the Kalevala.

Your answer is no.

You have obviously spent

too much time with the monks.

You don't understand women.

You are one of the finest men

I have ever known.

You are willing to defend us.

I shall wait for you to return.

I'll take you away from here,

far away.

To my mother's homeland.

My love.

- It looks like it was hugging someone.

- Or something. It was holding a chest.

The chest kept the body

from floating up.

Buried with him was

a wolf's skull and a woman.

Both were badly decomposed.

- They were together? Lovers?

- There's no way to prove it.

Cho!

- What happened?

- Master, why didn't you come?

We reached the swamp. We cannot

keep up this charade any longer.

I protected this...

...so that I could bring it back to you.

Master Sintai.

Shouldn't the wedding be postponed?

Whose wedding?

Cho, this is my fiance.

This is my armor-bearer

and best friend.

The battle has begun.

Master Sintai...

I'll return to you.

I'll be the happiest man on earth.

Wait.

My grandmother gave this to me.

She said it would make my wishes

come true.

I hope it will protect you from evil.

You let Iron hurt you again.

No more stages, Master.

Iron no longer trusts me.

I have a feeling this doesn't end well.

Something very bad has happened.

I know what it's like to live alone.

There are many fates

worse than death.

The worst is to lose your purpose,

and to be left living without it.

Does he look familiar?

What?

You didn't come here by accident.

Do you believe in incarnation?

Whatever you say to it, be honest.

Listen to me.

Please.

Help me.

I don't know who I am. I don't know

what is happening anymore.

Hope is all I have.

All that keeps me alive.

I am stuck in this one lonely moment.

It feels like death.

I have nobody.

Only one thought in my head.

I don't want to be alone anymore.

- It's beautiful.

- The secret source of all happiness.

- What do you think it'll do?

- You forged it.

You alone know

what will make you happy.

Sintai...

Kai...

I have waited for you a hundred years.
