Or stand.

As you wish.

It is enough that

we are alone together.

Just the two of us.

Some... simple conversation.

I have nothing

to talk about.

You've stolen my dreams away.

All things change, Lady.

The dreams of youth...

are the regrets of maturity.

Dreams are my specialty.

Through dreams

I influence mankind.

My dream...

is of eternity with you.

I offer you this rose,

Princess-

my heart,

my soul,

my love.

Love?

Once I was content

with solitude...

until that moment...

I felt your vivid presence.

A little to the right.

Left. Good!

It grows late. Sit.

I value your thoughts.

Share them with me.

Sit?

Yes.

- Nothing more than that?

- And talk with me.

I think I'll stand,

if you don't mind.

Damn you!

No! Never! Never!

I hear a throat

begging to be cut.

Are you so... anxious...

to see blood flow?

As you are to drink it. Grant

your bride one wish on this night.

You have but to ask.

I will stay here with you

as you wish.

- But on one condition.

- Anything.

I want to kill the Unicorn.

I can't let that happen.

In the beginning...

there was nothing-

a void of darkness,

a cold eternity

of silence.

Jack, your greatest challenge

is still to come.

And we have not much time.

When the perfect void

was corrupted...

by light,

a great wailing was heard,

and all the brethren fled

in terror.

Gump!

Oona, fly up like the wind.

It's time.

Jack!

Lily.

Jack.

Judge her with your heart,

not your eyes.

Hear me,

ye powers of the night!

We offer this sacrifice,

in honor of you,

sanctified with blood...

and with fire!

I pray you, Father,

accept my sacrifice.

Let light

be forever extinguished.

Let the age of darkness begin!

Come, Lady.

The birth of a new world

awaits your stroke.

Let my offering be made

of flesh and blood.

She means to do it, Jack.

She's one of them.

I am sister to the Fates.

Kill her. Forget her.

Think about the Unicorn.

- Do it!

- Lily.

- I'll do it.

- No! No.

I trust you, Lily.

I'll always trust you.

Run!

Run! You're free!

Darkness!

What have we here?

A little boy.

Screwball!

Screwball, wake up!

Wake up, Screwball!

Wake up!

It's always a pleasure

to take a brave man's life.

Wake up!

Don't you know me, boy?

Quickly!

What time is it?

Every wolf suffers fleas.

'Tis easy enough to scratch.

Give it to me, boy!

Father!

Protect me!

You think you have won!

What is light...

without dark?

What are you...

without me?

I am a part of you all.

You can never defeat me.

We are brothers...

eternal!

Do it, Jack! Kill him!

Kill him!

She's under a spell.

A powerful spell.

Do something.

Look what we've been through.

Look who you are.

Have faith in yourself.

It is the greatest lesson

you have learned.

Only you

can answer this riddle.

I'm a princess.

It's my right to set

a challenge for my suitors.

I will marry...

whoever finds this ring.

We too have

a promise to keep.

Now fulfill your promise.

I will miss you.

But don't forget us.

Never.

I love you, Lily.

Come back to me.

Come back to me.

I... love you, Jack.

I love you, Lily.

I had such a terrible

nightmare.

Did you?

It's over.

Jack, was it all a dream?

You're safe now.

So many terrible things

happened.

I-

I learned something

about myself...

and something about you.

What's that?

You belong here.

You're my prince.

I'm only Jack.

My Lord Jack.

So you take that...

and you keep it,

treasure it.

It's part of me.

Can I come tomorrow?

Of course.

I'll be here.

I'll always be here

for you, Lily.

Will you sing for me?

Come down, sparrow

Sing me good morning

Rise up, sun

like the arch of the sky

Living river

Turn light to diamonds

When I look

in my true love's eyes
