The Last Witch Hunter Page #4

Oh!

B*tch.

So now you know.

You're a dream-walker.

Everyone knows that

dream-walking is a black gift.

I've spent my entire life

trying to hide from it.

You knew I would discover your

secret, and you didn't care.

You still pulled me out of that trap.

It was a very brave thing to do.

Lemme show you something. Come on.

Good night, Max!

You are a disgrace to our kind.

Belial, I had no choice.

Kaulder threatened to beat me

to death with his bare hands.

We have plans for you, traitor.

You must understand, Belial.

Enjoy the shadows.

This is the history of

witches. Your history.

That's you.

Yeah.

Least they got your eyes right.

These are the dream-walkers.

The Witch Queen's deadliest assassins.

Somehow they used to jump into your mind

and pry out your most precious memories.

And then they'd twist 'em

into your worst nightmares.

What, you're giving a history lesson here

or you're just trying to scare me?

There's something no one

knows about dream-walkers.

They don't need memory potions.

That power lies within them.

I have something buried deep in my mind

that I must remember.

And you're the only one that can help me.

No, I can't.

Chloe...

No, I can't.

You know, I have a younger brother,

and, uh,

he had this knack for just pissing me off.

And one day he pushed it too far,

and I somehow entered his mind.

I hurt him. I didn't mean to,

but I hurt him badly.

So I ran away.

What were their names,

your wife and daughter?

Helena.

Elizabeth.

I haven't said their names

out loud in a long time.

Kaulder, even if I wanted to help you,

I wouldn't know where to begin.

Think of a word that you associate with me.

Could be anything.

Empty everything else out of your head.

And just focus on that one word.

One word.

If you tell me the word,

I'll focus on it, too.

Sometimes that helps.

What's the word?

Alone.

Take my hand.

This way, men!

Brother Dolan, look.

Kaulder.

What is that? Dolan?

Tread with care.

He did it.

So ends the Queen.

In the name of the Father...

He's possessed!

Kaulder is alive.

Our nightmare ends with a miracle.

Help him.

Help him.

It's her heart.

When we destroy it, we destroy her.

End it, Brother Dolan.

Destroy her, Dolan!

No!

You kept it.

It's over. The Witch Queen is dead.

They betrayed you from the start.

That's why they tortured your friend.

Because he knew where the heart was.

They're gonna bring back the Queen.

For eight hundred years,

we've waited for her return.

You should be honored, traitor.

You will be sacrificed for our cause.

Kaulder, I know where

Belial brought all that dirt.

The truck he rented had

a standard GPS locator...

You lied to me!

You saved her heart. "Remember your death."

It's not what you think.

You knew what it meant all

along, and you said nothing.

Because I wasn't going to be responsible

for the dissolution of The Axe

and Cross on my very first...

They're bringing back the Queen.

You don't know what you've done.

I swore an oath to keep it secret.

This lie has kept Apocalypse

at bay for hundreds of years.

We were afraid if the

Queen's heart was destroyed,

you'd lose your immortality. Or die.

That wasn't your choice to make!

That's what the old man thought.

The night he was attacked,

I think he was going to destroy it.

For you.

To set you free.

At least The Axe and Cross

still has their weapon.

You will serve the Queen...

No, please.

Like it or not.

Ah!

Go to my apartment. You'll be safe there.

No, the deal was that we stick together.

I'm going alone. If I can't trust

my own people, how the

hell can I trust you?

This isn't who you are.

It's all I am.

Pierce her with iron.

Scour her by fire.

Bring her endless death.

I've missed you, Kaulder.

Here's what you don't understand.

What your kind never understood.

I've shown mercy.

I could have killed every last one of you.

I've done the math.

I've had the time.

You're different now. So confident.

Maybe you shouldn't have made me immortal.

Kaulder, I came to help.

Chloe. I told you not to...

Immortality was never yours. It was mine.

You just carried it for me.

Until now.

I am reborn.

Ah!

Your race

has always been frightened.

Hiding in caves.

Huddling around fire.

Finally.

Hey, kid. I was afraid I was too late.

I hope I don't look as rough as you do.

Okay.

I killed the one who cursed you.

Here.

Drink this.

Thank you.

The Witch Queen has returned.

I thought my immortality

was the way that she punished me.

But she just used me

to save it for herself.

I'm afraid I bear some responsibility.

It was hubris to think

that our secret wouldn't

be discovered by the enemy.

I've seen what comes next.

Death.

The Witch Queen will

cast another plague curse.

Haven't covens with that

kind of power been destroyed?

We don't destroy witches anymore.

We incarcerate them.

We took all the most powerful witches

that ever walked the Earth

and put 'em in one place.

The witch prison.

And they've been waiting,

waiting to be released.

Waiting to exact revenge.

We created the perfect coven.

Now I'm right back where I started.

You defeated her once.

You can defeat her again.

Kaulder,

you must go.

You have to fight.

Kaulder.

I never had a name for it.

But my enemies came to call it "Hexenbane."

Witch Slayer.

I'm coming, too.

Our agreement depended

on me keeping you safe.

No, our agreement was that if I helped you,

you'd keep me safe.

If I get hurt now, I stay hurt.

Where would that leave you?

You know, I don't care!

Who says that a witch can't hunt witches?

Chloe.

Kaulder.

What is this?

It's a plague tree. She's here.

When the spell is done,

the fly swarm will be released.

We haven't much time.

Stay close.

Kaulder, where are the prisoners?

My God!

Every witch I ever caught.

The Queen's using their

power to release the plague.

How?

The chant.

No witch would be strong enough

to cast this spell alone.

But the Witch Queen's

linking their minds like a chain.

So how do we stop them?

Every chain has a weak link.

- I'll do the honors.

- No.

It's not his body we need to destroy.

It's his mind.

But if he dies in his dreams,

the plague will be stopped.

I wish there was another way.

You'll still be here

when I get back, right?

You're taking on the

Queen alone, aren't you?

It has to end.

Hey.

Be careful in there.

So are you worried about me then?

Well, I've gotten used to you.

Good hunting.

You, too.

The Sentinel.

And it won't stop until this prisoner

is put back in his cell.

It's coming for Ellic.

Kaulder?

If there's any sign she's

getting hurt in there,

you have to wake her up.

And promise me you'll get her as far away

from here as you can.

Of course.

The chanting stopped.

She did it.

A dream-walker shows your past.

Only I can show the future.

You will fail, and humanity will fall.

I've taken this world back.

Not yet.

Can you feel it?

Your mortality?

Your life ebbing away?

Father!

Kaulder.
