You must have been dreaming.

You have to be ready

for what's about to happen.

You're going to go

for a long walk.

Okay?

Cygnus, I want to know

where we go.

I know.

Is there a reason we haven't

scalped this village?

Are you

questioning my authority again?

We don't know how many

are able to fight.

This isn't about them.

It's about him, right?

That's what you said.

It has always been about them.

It's always been

about your sweet,

golden future.

But

you,

you just want more.

What we want

is for this to end!

You want.

You want! And want!

And want! And want!

And want!!

What you want

is me!

You need me!

You want the power, zizzik?

Then take this

and go carve it out of them.

Almost there.

Almost there.

So this crypt was

built by humans?

Yes. And left for us.

Here.

It helped them get through.

Nova.

It's me that they're after.

How do you know this?

They would have killed me

when they had the chance.

Cygnus.

And I thought you

were a lone wolf.

If you feel nothing,

then you survive.

But if you feel something...

Then you have something

to live for.

This

is what you heart tells you?

Tell me how you met.

By the edge of the blade.

How everyone else does.

Hm.

But...

But I saw you.

I saw you too.

This

is the memories

that live

where the blood bonds.

Your story will be great.

Do not be afraid.

I never was.

My heart recognizes her.

She is welcome.

Ah! Ah!

They're coming!

They are coming!

Warn them, warn them!

They're sending the dead!

Female villager:
Where's

the children?

Female villager 2:

Where're the baby?

If I don't come back,

lead them some place safe.

If you don't come back,

I'm coming after you.

No. They need you here.

Torik:
Cygnus!

No matter how we leave,

our echoes won't.

Nova!

Ahhh!

Look what beautiful

things you have done.

That's right, cygnus.

Anything you've always done

has always been right.

Mari:
Cygnus!

No. No.

No!

If you touch her,

I will kill you.

I will kill you! No!

No! Run!

Cygnus:
Run!

Run back! No!

No!

Cygnus!

Ohh!

Mari:
He can't.

He needs to know what he is!

Look at me. Come on,

stay with me.

Stay with me.

They say too much, mari.

I have to speak now!

I'm here. I'm here, Nova.

Nova, I'm here. Look at me.

Okay? Look at me.

I need to speak now.

Nova, what's happening to me!?

You belong to us too.

We live through one another.

Look!

My light is passing.

You have the ancestors

in your eyes.

You lead them.

Tell cygnus...

Tell him he always

belonged here.

He was never

one of them

you hear that?

That voice

that screams "let go".

You can't silence it.

It's a part of you.

The horse never wanted you.

You had hope in your eye.

But every last one

of those pathetic souls

will suffer the same fate

as your snakes.

You see...

Our stories

are the same.

Do you see why she

never wanted you?

Who?

Our mother.

No.

No.

No!

No!!!

Yes, brother!

My entire life...

Everything!

All of this

has been you.

You were never one of them.

Aahh!!

Just like me!

You're just like me.

What are you waiting for!?

Get him off me.

I said get him off me!

Where is the power you

promised us

to put the noose around

the killer's collar!?

You took all you can!

You can't take us!

Where are you going!?

Where are you going!?

You can't walk away!

Where do you think you're going?

Cygnus!

Wait!

Wait! Wait! Wait-wait-wait!

Who do you think

kept you alive all this time?

Who looked out for you?

I just wanted you

to be like me.

This isn't for me.

It's for them.

Courage is the only thing

you need where you're going.

Think I'll make it?

You've made it this far.

You'll see once you get there.

You're part of it too, you know?

See.

It's a gift.

You brave little warrior.

Cygnus:
Nova.

The answer is that we

are not out of time.

To feel is to live.

To feel is to continue.

The last arc will find its way.

And maybe one day

I will find mine.

What is the wind

telling you, cygnus?

It's harder to hear now.

Then

something is about to change.

Will you come with us?

I've seen enough.

It's time we left.

Then where do we go?

We go north.
