of the mysterious sea?

I know everything, Jack.

Everything?

Then why is it like this?

Why is there winter now?

I'd be a powerful wizard,

indeed, could I answer.

Suppose you tell me, Jack.

Me?

You know these woods

as well as any elf.

Did you not see

something odd today?

Any strange spirits?

Did nothing untoward happen?

No.

No? No?

Nothing?

Uh, I did take Lily

to see the Unicorns.

You did what?

Silence!

Oh, God, Gump,

she touched him.

Touched it? A mortal

laid hands on a Unicorn?

Jack! Squawk, squawk,

no more talk!

Do you think you can upset the order

of the universe and not pay the price?

But she meant no wrong!

What I did is done,

but I did it for love.

Silence!

Love, you say?

But answer me this riddle,

and all will be forgiven.

And if I cannot?

Why, Jack,

then 'tis your death song

I'll be playing.

Then ask away...

and pray God

my answer pleases you.

What is a bell

that does not ring...

yet its knell

makes the angels sing?

Shhh!

Answer me this...

and all will be forgiven.

Flowers?

Bluebells! To hear them ring

means your life is at an end!

No!

Damn it! Damn it!

Damn it!

Riddles! Riddles!

Riddles!

Damn it! Riddles!

Riddles! Riddles!

Gump?

Gump?

Gump?

You've bested me, Jack.

Bested me, bested me.

A riddle without an answer's like an

empty cup when you're thirsty for wine.

Well spoken! And if it's wine

you want, it's wine we shall have.

Brown Tom! A small measure

of entertainment at best.

But, Gump, it's the last bottle

of me best wine.

Oh-Oh, if you say so, sir.

Mmm.

Now, Gump, don't you

be forgetting me.

Oh, careful now.

Oh, it's so precious.

Elderberry wine.

Sorry. No finer drink under heaven.

Here's to Jack,

Oh, brother.

riddle solver, dancing fool

and fairy friend.

Tip it.

Hmm. Ahhh.

Here, this'll help.

Don't you care

what's happened?

Of course we care. What good's a

world locked in a season of death?

But we must find the

answer. That we must.

But first we must see that

no harm's come to the Unicorn.

I sadly fear the worst.

Wait. Shhh.

Lily!

Jack, what?

Jack!

Forgive me.

I meant no wrong.

Well, Jack, tell us

what has happened.

Come on, Jack.

Don't keep us in the dark.

The dark

is where we'll stay.

We're cursed.

Is there naught

we can do?

We must get

the alicorn back.

Only then will the world

return to normal.

We must find a champion...

bold of heart

and pure in spirit.

Champion? What champion?

Don't give up so quick, lads.

You'll do.

We must get you

some weapons.

But, Gump, I know

nothing of weapons.

You'll learn. I know

where to find the best.

Brown Tom, stay here with the

Unicorn and guard her well.

Like me own life. Better.

She's the last of her kind.

Magic horn

is mine, mine, mine.

Now all creatures

will love the night...

and worship goblins

as divine.

You shouldn't

talk like that, Blix.

Why not?

I've got the power now.

Plenty big talk.

Hah!

Not even darkness

lasts forever.

Jack, I can't go

with you now.

Anyway, Oona

will guide the way.

Follow me, Jack.

Over here. Come on.

Come on, Jack.

Here, Jack.

Come on.

Oona.

Nobody knows but you.

It's our secret, Jack.

Don't tell Gump. Promise?

Promise!

I could be anything

you want me to be,

even your heart's desire.

You've got to help us, Jack.

The fairies' love

makes anything possible.

Higher, higher,

burning fire.

Making music like a choir.

It seems a pity

to waste such power.

Waste? Better watch out,

old pal Pox,

or I'll turn you

into little pork chops.

Why not turn everything

into garbage?

A great towering

mountain of slop.

Wouldn't that be magic?

Higher, higher,

burning fire.

Making music like a choir.

Blix, Blix. Blix!

- What?

- Big D!

Stop!

Hear me,

you angel of darkness!

Your reign is over!

A new order begins!

- I hold the power!

- Enough!

Sh*t! Please!

It was only a joke.

I didn't mean it.

No! No!

Have you no sense of humor?

Adios, amigos!

Wow.

Forgive that intrusion,

great lord,

but goblins are inclined

to be outspoken.

Yeah. and I like to

encourage their initiative.

Did you think

this a mere plaything?

With it,

my empire is eternal.

Before I ruled

only the night.

Now my minions will frolic in

darkness until the end of time.

The Unicorns are dead,

is this not true?

True, lord, very plenty

true. Undeniably true.

You lie!

Here is dawn!

It is essentially true.

On the other hand-

Stallion is dead.

Dead as dreams.

- Out with it!

- The mare lives still!

If even one Unicorn walks the

earth, my power is not complete.

She's just a female, lord.

She has no power.

Only the power of creation.

Get the mare!

I command you!

Well, let's see,

what have we here?

Ahh, a little sassafras.

A little spearmint

would be nice, huh?

Some foxglove?

And a little colt's foot.

Hey, who goes there, what?

I'm- I'm Princess Lily.

You! You're the cause

of all our sorrow.

I'm- I'm so sorry.

I didn't know.

Please, please forgive me.

- I'm not the one you should be askin'.

- Listen to me.

Try and understand. I'm only

trying to make things right.

Darkness has sent the goblins

back for the mare.

It's not safe to stay here. You'll

have to hurry! Leave now! Go!

Good lass. You're

a plucky little partridge.

- Hurry! Aaah!

- Too late!

You imps are lookin' for a fight,

you come to the chap who'll oblige ya.

Ooh! Ah! Ah!

Try this on for size.

You can't beat me.

Ha-ha, look at that!

Keep 'em coming, fellas!

Ha-ha!

Oh, check this out!

Yes, sir. You see?

You just can't beat me!

You can't-

Little tool is stuck.

They done for me.

Quick!

Wait for me!

Brown Tom!

Brown Tom,

you can't be dead.

This is terrible.

Terrible!

Brown Tom.

Brown Tom.

Gump?

Screwball.

Jack, lad.

- They killed you too?

- Of course they didn't.

- But what in blazes are you talking about?

- Goblins.

- Goblins?

- Shot me through me brain pan.

Oh.

That's one spot an arrow

will do no harm.

I did my best to fight 'em off,

but they swarmed up by the hundreds.

All fierce creatures they were.

The princess warned me, but-

Lily?

Aye.

Then she's alive!

She was alive still

when they killed me.

The goblins

must have taken her.

We follow their tracks

in the snow.

The Great Tree.

When evil anarchy

ruled the land,

the wicked came here

to sacrifice.

Ugly. I hate it.

Good. You go first.

Why always me?

Go!

Foreigner.

Ooh, slippery.

Uh, uh-

Oh, okay, okay.

I made it!

Screwball!

Foul-tasting fairy!

Come to Meg, juicy boy.

Who be this tender morsel...

disturbing

Meg Mucklebone's rest?

Jack.

They call me Jack, ma'am.

And what a fine,

fat boy you are, Jack.

You don't really mean

to eat me, do you, ma'am?

Oh, indeed I do!

But that would be a shame,

because someone as fair...

and lovely as yourself, Miss Meg,

deserves far better than scrawny me.

Don't you think?

You think me fair,

do you, Jack?

All the heavenly angels

must envy your beauty.

What a fine meal

you'll make,

be the rest of you
