Pegasus Vs. Chimera

---

Belleros, not too close.

Belleros!

-Belleros!

-Father!

Father, help!

Come on.

You know, I would have preferred

to find an elk rather than a dracaena.

Or at least something we could eat.

We're going hungry tonight

unless we can find a rabbit on the way home.

It's a long walk home. We'll find something.

You shot well back there.

Thank you, Father.

Stop right where you are!

You're trespassing on the lands

of His Majesty Emperor Orthos.

These lands,

they belong to the people of Tiryns.

-Orthos has no claim on them.

-Traitor!

You would defy Orthos?

I defy any tyrant.

Run, Belleros!

-No, I won't leave you!

-Now!

Father!

You murderers!

Leave him!

He'll be able to tell his countrymen

what happens when you defy

the Lord Orthos.

Father! Father!

I will avenge your death.

Emperor Orthos, King of Argus.

General Actae.

I deliver onto you, Dorian, King of Tiryns.

His armies have scattered,

and his city walls will fall before tonight.

Dorian of Tiryns.

Now king of nothing.

Kneel before your emperor.

Emperor?

You steal titles as ruthlessly

as you steal lands.

Like your father,

you fail to see my vision

of uniting the seven realms into one empire.

Your vision...

Yes.

...is the enslavement

of the free people of Tiryns.

That's where you're wrong.

My vision for your people is death.

You're mad.

I will live 1,000 years, if that's what it takes,

to wipe every last drop

of Tiryn blood from the earth,

starting with yours.

My people will continue

to fight long after I'm dead!

This changes nothing!

Bring him in.

Dorian.

You've been accused of impeding

Orthos' march of peace

across the seven realms.

The sentence will be carried out immediately.

Now, you try.

Father, why must I learn this?

So that you may always protect yourself.

We do have an army.

Philony, the army may not always be there.

At the end of the day,

all you have is yourself.

Try again.

I don't need a knife to protect myself.

It's not about you, Philony.

It's about your freedom,

and the people of Tiryns.

You are a princess,

and with that comes great responsibility.

Now if you can't protect yourself,

how can you be expected to protect others?

Beautiful!

Beautiful.

Come.

That's it.

I'll never get this right.

Pressure and patience, Tello, not too much.

If you put too much pressure,

it changes the nature of the metal,

and gets all the impurities out.

Hello.

I'm Belleros.

Welcome to my shop.

I need knives.

Knives? We don't sell cooking tools.

Only weapons.

Do you have any more of those?

Well, we don't have many women

looking for weapons.

I also need a bow and a short sword.

Certainly.

Tello, would you please bring these outside

to the young lady?

So what sort of trouble are you in?

My homeland, Tiryns, has fallen.

What happened?

General Stephos betrayed us.

He opened the south gates

and let Orthos and the Argus troops in.

Orthos.

I wish the ground would open up

and take him to hell.

If it's the last thing I do, I will kill him.

You? Why?

Because he murdered my father.

I'm sorry.

My father was killed by Orthos' men

many years ago.

He was a captain in the king's guard.

We were just hunting

and we were stopped by soldiers.

They accused him of trespassing

and this man killed him in cold blood.

Your father was Cyros.

Yes, how'd you know?

His courage was well known.

I have heard that the king was furious.

Why didn't you come forward?

Because I promised myself

that I would deal with his killers one day.

Then your thirst for vengeance

is as great as mine.

Vengeance or justice?

Both.

-Beautifully balanced.

-My father was a good teacher.

Nice shot.

I'm just curious,

how did you learn to use those weapons?

That should be more than sufficient.

Thank you, both.

Thank you.

And good luck.

Most of his soldiers have been killed.

But some of Dorian's men have fled

to the western woods.

They're hunting them down as we speak.

The western woods? The western woods?

It's the toughest terrain in my empire.

They can live there like rats forever.

Have you found Queen Caria?

Not yet, but we will.

She'll never give herself up.

And while she lives, the Tiryns will fight on.

No.

No.

No!

Actae, your spell, it's worn off.

Why did it fail so soon?

My powers are limited, Orthos.

Every time I extend your life,

the spell grows weaker.

I'm a warlock, not a god.

Need I remind you, neither are you.

One of these fine days,

my magic will fail me completely,

and then you will grow old

and then you will die

like every other man on Earth.

Drink this.

It's been 50 years.

When Dorian's father refused

to join his armies with mine,

I vowed then to live long enough

to see them all dead.

I refuse to die until they're all destroyed.

Find me a way to hunt them down.

I need more than just soldiers.

Where are you going?

I need to find that girl.

Ifwhat she said is true,

none of us will survive here much longer.

It's time for me to avenge my father's death.

-Then I'll come with you.

-No, you stay.

The shop is yours, Tello.

Belleros, I couldn't possibly...

Yes, you can. And you deserve it.

It's yours.

Fine.

But only until you return.

Very well. Take care.

Here's to betrayal.

Hear, hear!

What's the matter, Stephos?

You didn't like the toast?

I was told I'd have my gold by now.

Change of plans.

Emperor Orthos wishes

to thank you personally.

I'm sure he wishes to shake the hand

of the man who gave us Tiryns.

It will take many more deaths

for my father's soul to be at peace.

But yours is the first, Stephos.

My father's sword.

Stephos!

Stephos, come!

Come join in on the celebration.

Who goes there?

Quickly.

And so it begins. It's accepted our offer.

What begins?

You've always wanted something

to hunt the Tiryns.

I'm giving it to you.

For you, my Emperor.

A monster to hunt the Tiryns.

-What is it?

-Chimera.

Creature from the underworld.

It searches for souls and then sends them

to the bowels of Hades.

Does it understand what I say?

It's accepted your blood offering.

It's at your command.

Seek out the Tiryns that hide

in the western forests.

Spare none of them.

-What are you doing here?

-I could have killed you.

And I you.

I can take care of myself, blacksmith.

I can see that.

-What was that?

-I don't know.

But I'm not going to stand here

and wait for it to find me.

There's a Tiryn camp deeper in the forest,

a night's journey from here.

My people will protect us.

So, tell me, I'm curious,

is it normal for Tiryn women

to behave like men and learn the sword?

Not normal, but not prohibited.

I see.

Since we're going to be traveling together,

can I ask your name?

I am Philony of Tiryns.

My father was King Dorian.

You.

You're the daughter of Dorian,

that's why you know how to fight.

He was a great leader.

Why are you following me?

The moment has come for me

to avenge my father's death.

And I want to help you save Tiryns.

The soldiers are but scattered remnants.
