The Northlander

Cygnus:
My name is cygnus.

I am my people's hunter.

And it has grown scarce

for some time.

We are the children of man.

Out here, we are

not the only ones.

Many bands now travel

the land again.

We are called last arc.

The ones with stories

on our skin.

I wondered what

became of the world

before the one I was born into.

I only knew a world where

the few moved together.

I have farther to go to

find the beasts I hunt.

Hey!

Hey!

Let me go. Let me go! Please.

Why are you here?

I know you.

Now you see it too, right?

The darker days.

Yes.

Me too, I see 'em too.

But she needs you.

Hunter of blood...

And hope.

Hope is not what I hunt for.

Does it look like

I have any hope?

Hey!

I'm just like you!

I see it too!

I know your story too.

You're the little boy.

The little boy that

killed the snakes.

I'm done. The end!

No!

Cygnus:
I live

away from last arc

to hear what the wind is saying.

Even if it makes

me their outsider.

It's telling me that

this can't go on.

Sometimes I ask myself

why I stay.

But then I remember they

found me and brought me in.

They gave me a place

to call home.

For this I have my life.

The sun has crossed

the river track

and brings the hunter back.

They know the way.

They found us, cygnus

we're against the days.

It doesn't help it's

written all over them.

They're afraid.

It's the future that

must be protected.

They don't go out there

like you do.

They can't.

They're watching.

Is everyone here?

They're near.

How many?

Three.

You're the hunter.

You're the one that

killed the snakes.

What's it like?

Elden:
Elias!

Elias.

Elias!

Listen to me, okay?

That hunter

has a mind where killing

is a natural act.

That hunter is not

the same as you.

Elias:
It's not you or him, dad.

Mom wanted us to live.

I know you.

Who's there?

Cygnus:
Nova, it's me.

I'm coming in.

You precede yourself.

It's not me you should

be concerned about.

You have a new orphan,

and he's lucky to be alive.

Elden was a good father

but he didn't know how to

handle himself out there.

Before we know the way out

we must know ourselves first.

The heretics should not

be this close.

Is that not a sign?

Cygnus

I need to send you.

Send me where?

Somewhere in the darkness.

Where there is light.

Nova:
That has an answer.

What do you see?

I see us all trying to...

It's not easy.

Survival never is.

But it's not a choice

that we get to make.

I believe in the stories.

I've heard the stories.

I'll believe it

when I see scars.

Then look at this!

Who died

in search with no end?

Our ancestors!

Ours!

Don't you forget that.

The hunt is all that

I've ever known.

I'm not asking you to kill.

I'm asking you to hunt.

To find the answers

that will stop this.

Shappa.

Don't say it.

I know.

What do you know?

Nova sent you.

Did she say why?

She knows why she wants me here.

Ha!

Nova knows what she wants,

and doesn't want.

I need an answer.

You need to be hunting

for food, not answers.

Nova wants me to find something.

I'm not a scholar.

Where do I begin?

With a question!

It's in here somewhere.

Oh!

Okay, look.

Over here.

Over here.

This is also the answer!

Where would the answer be

if it had be somewhere?

Wherever it isn't.

There would be older

breakage here.

And?

It's been hot here

for a very long time.

That's a good place to look.

Why?

If you think of population

or what used to be present.

Then it's pretty

simple to look at

what isn't

and what is.

There could be more

like us out there.

I need to take a look

at your stories.

Yeah, yeah.

You were there!

I remember a burning sky.

And being taken up when a

shadow eclipsed the sun.

Tokens of our past

are our guide

when we have no map.

You could kill snakes

with your two hands

before you could even walk.

You have strength.

Don't be afraid to use it.

We don't have a choice now.

This time

had to come.

Can you tell me

what it's like to be alone?

The world listens to you live.

Don't be afraid.

My dad had more to tell me.

I just hope we can find

a way out of here.

That's what I am going for.

Here.

Take these.

They're from my dad.

Give it to the ones

who are hiding,

waiting to kill.

I will stand for you

to find your way.

I promise.

It will soon be ours.

He said

we can't kill this one.

He said he doesn't want him.

He needs him.

I see what you are,

hunter.

You should have killed

me. Why didn't you?

I don't regret letting you live.

You're already dead.

Yeah!

Yes!

Harder!

Make him bleed!

Yeah!

Oh!

Yes!

Lexi:
Zizzik!

You know you can't kill him.

This I need to know.

Not for him,

but for our power.

It's been years!

What is one more day?

We are tired of waiting, Lexi!

Lupis, stay out of this.

Something must break!

Either it's him, or it's us.

So stop fighting me.

If I don't fight today,

tomorrow there are no "if's".

Torik needs the answers!

No! No!

Aha! Ha!!

Many will die

to keep a noose around

that killer's collar.

Don't worry.

We'll get there.

It is done.

Bring her up here.

We need the power, torik.

Betrayal opens the door.

Remember that.

Man did.

That's what moved them.

Her betrayal

will open the door to

your heart's desire.

Isn't that interesting?

Come on!

Mari:
No!

When I was

in the hills once

one of them horses

she couldn't move much, you see!

It wasn't her fault.

She tripped in a

big, black hole.

But,

it wasn't the ones who moved her

it was the ones who grew her,

raised her.

And after long

she got weak in the knee

do you know what they did?

Do you know

what they did!?

Ahh!

They watched that most

beautiful creature

die.

And do you know why?

Because with

hunters like

that one

they would be next.

Oh.

The deal has changed.

Ahhh!!

They will never

understand you, cygnus.

Not like I do.

That's the killer, cygnus.

That one.

Take this blade

and end this.

And your precious last arc

will be free forever.

Refuse and...

All those beautiful

souls you hunt for

will be...

Well...

So what will it be?

That's it.

There's the answer!

You...

Made a wise choice today.

Today

you made history.

No!

She will die.

Then he will die.

Then all the people he calls

his people

will die.

Hm?

Chain them up!

I see what you fight for.

Why didn't he kill you

when he saw I couldn't?

They were promised power

where we're going.

They want us alive.

Zizzik:
Black sand.

Is this the place?

Just a little further.

Man left it there.

For us?

For all of us.

Do you know what is in there?

Everything their world had,

and their children do not.

This

is how it ends!

Will this do?

At least we still have time

before they try to get in.

Now I can ask

what is your name?

Mari.

A wolf without a pack.

Packs hold me back.

But

I have heard of the last arc.

I know them well.

Are you with them?

Are you with them!?

They need me.

And I need them.

You mean that.

My name is cygnus.

Like the constellation.

You are far from home.
