[Narrator] And lo the
Kingdom of the Spider

shall last 1,000 years.

And the people shall
suffer 1,000 years,

for it is written.

And this time shall be known
as the Age of Darkness,

for the shadow of the
Spider shall be the law.

Indeed, the people
shall pay tribute

to the word of the master,
and live in bondage



in the valley of the shadows,

even to the very
mists of the volcano

that sleeps above.

Take heed, when the
thousand years is done,

a man will come to
promise a different way.

And he shall be named Toron.

Many will believe, and
many will be persecuted.

The sign of Toron will
bear witness to the legend,

but Toron will
fail, for the wrath

of the Spider King
is mighty indeed.

And the people of the
valley shall weep,

for there is no hope,
for it is also written

that the Spider King
will reign until

the day the mountain
speaks forth in anger.



Then out of the darkness,
the prophecy relives,

for Toron cast his
seed upon the wind,

and even in death,
to him is born a son.

(woman gasping)

It's here.

Yes, it's here.

[Woman] Don't worry,
it won't be long now.

(gasping)

Push.

(gasping)

Keep comin', push.

It's here.

The baby's head is out.

- Help me.
- Yes.

(baby crying)

[Woman] Oh, there.

Oh, it's a beautiful baby.

[Midwife] It's a boy.

(baby crying)

(gasping) He has
the sign Toron.

Take him, take your son.

May the Gods forgive you.

He has the sign of Toron.

(lighting striking)
(thunder rolling)

(wolf howling)

(door banging)
(thunder rolling)

(horses neighing
in the distance)

(animals whining)

It is done.

(wind blowing)
(thunder rolling)

(chuckling)

(slow, tense orchestral music)

You can trust me, as
I trust you, holy one.

(slow, tense orchestral music)

Ooo (chuckling).

Go where you will, my beautiful.

(slow, tense orchestral music)

[Knight] Lord, lord.

The sign is in the sky.

What are you saying, fool?

[Knight] The animals cry out.

And the wind, the
trees, the mountain.

The earth trembles like a virgin

being drawn to the nuptial bed.

Now the sky is the
color of flame, my lord.

Can Toron have had a son?

[Guard] Aster, we
cannot be certain yet.

All the signs tell
us that tonight,

in some corner of
this world, a woman

has given birth to the
child you speak of.

(slow, tense orchestral music)

There is no longer any doubt.

In order to avert this
calamity, the child must die.

And our ancient kingdom will
never be profane by him.

[Woman] Hurry,
back to the village.

The sign of Toron!

[Woman] The child
will bring the wrath

of the Spider down upon us.

The son of Toron is among us.

His duty and his
mission is to put

an end to our ancient ways.

We must never allow
him to reach manhood.

Gather your men together.

Seek out the newborn, and
extinguish their brief live.

We must prevent the prophecy
from being fulfilled.

[Knights] Long
life to the Spider!

(men chanting)

(slow, tense orchestral music)

(baby crying)

(men yelling)

(slow, tense orchestral music)

(horse neighing)

[Man] The child has the
sign or Toron over his heart.

Find him, kill him!

(men yelling)

(slow, tense orchestral music)

(women screaming)

[Man] Catch them,
catch them all.

(women screaming)

(slow, tense orchestral music)

[Woman] No,
please, have mercy.

(sheep baaing)

(men yelling)

Now, High Priest, I will
make you bitterly repent.

The day you exiled me from
the Kingdom of the Spider,

I, Griba, will be avenged
through this tiny child.

(sheep baaing)

(baby vocalizing)

Grow fast and grow
strong, young Ator.

You have much to do.

[Narrator] In the
pages of the Sacred Book

it is written, "there will
come one from the North.

"Tall warrior who will
challenge the rule

"of the Spider King.

"He will be called Toron,
but he will be vanished.

"And many years
will pass in which

"the Spider reigns
supreme, but one day

"there will come
another, for to Toron

"will be born a son.

"An even mightier warrior
they will call Ator.

"When the time is
near, the Great Eagle

"will shed tears of
blood, then those

"who defend the dark regions
of the Spider Kingdom

"must prepare for
battle, for Ator

"will cast light
upon the darkness."

(slow, tense orchestral music)

Oh, Ancient One.

The word of the
prophet was untrue.

The son of Toron is no more.

The kingdom is safe at last.

Now you can spread your web.

And all those who walk on Earth,

will be forced to your bidding.

(men yelling)

(banging)

[Man] Gidrick?

[Boy] Yes?

[Man] Put an
edge on this blade.

[Boy] Go ahead.

(banging)

(dog barking)

[Woman] Here, this
is from us, Nordya.

[Nordya] Thank you.

(dog barking)

(door opening)

[Bardak] Who are you stranger?

What do you want of us?

From this day on,
you will receive food,

so that you may eat.

And you will be given
herbs that will cure you,

and arms for the hunt.

And in return, you
must raise this child

as your own.

I've never seen you before.

What is your name?

I am called Griba,
but it doesn't matter.

Better that you forget it.

You will never see me again.

But I will be keeping
an eye on you.

And on him.

The boy will be in
safe hands with us.

We're a simple,
honest folk here,

and I have milk enough.

If this man keeps his promise,

we won't need the charity
of the villagers anymore.

You will lack nothing.

Because nothing must lack Ator.

Ator.

(Ator vocalizing)

[Bardak] You always
wanted a boy, didn't you?

[Nordya] Oh yes, Ator.

Ator!

(slow orchestral music)

I couldn't find you.

Don't leave me like that, ever.

But I was in the woods.

Here, I brought you a present.

[Sunya] Oh, what's his name?

[Ator] Kiog.

(chuckling)

[Sunya] Oh.

I love you.

And I love you.

(slow orchestral music)

Why can't we marry?

Ator, we are
brother and sister.

(slow orchestral music)

I'll talk with our father.

(horse neighing)

(slow, tense orchestral music)

(banging)
(animals sounding)

You're already a
better hunter than I am.

Well I owe it to you, father.

What's the matter
with you, Ator?

You have sad eyes.

Are you in love by any chance?

Who told you?

My heart told me.

And your mother's heart.

But there's nothing
wrong about that.

All young men fall in
love, and you're a man now.

(slow orchestral music)

Father,

you see,

I would've told you sooner.

You remember how our ancestors

used to allow marriage between

brother and sister?

I know times have changed, but...

Ator, you don't know how
really happy you make me.

Well then you're saying...

You'd allow me to
marry my sister?

She is not your sister.

Sunya is not your sister.

Come here, Nordya, come here.

[Nordya] What is it, Bardak?

Ator and Sunya want to marry.

- He knows?
- Yes, I just told him.

You mean he's not my brother?

No, my child, he is not.

You both sucked the same
milk from the same breast,

but we are not his parents.

He is the offspring
of another couple.

(slow orchestral music)

Who are my parents?

A man came out of
the woods with you.

My father?

I don't think so.

A real parent would not
have abandoned his child

the way he did.

Why didn't you tell me, mother?

We didn't, Ator,
'cause we thought

it would make you unhappy.

And now?

And now that you have
decided to marry Sunya

we are very happy
for both of you.

Congratulations.

Well then you'll be my
parents for the second time.

Did you hear that, Nordya?

I think we have to give the
good news to the whole village.

Yes.

(slow, tense orchestral music)

My lord?

I sincerely hope you have
something urgent to tell me.

I say that because
if you have not,

you'll have to pay dearly
for this intrusion.

The news I have
for you is of Griba.

Griba?

Yes, master.

I saw him this morning, my lord,

in the forest by the
village that lies

on the edge of our kingdom.

So he has dared to defy
our ancient laws once again.

This time, he shall die.

I want his head.

You hear?

Yes, master.

(upbeat instrumental music)

(upbeat instrumental music)

Oh, Corg, god of fecundity,
bless this young couple.

Protect and purify them
with your great strength

so that they may
offer you their youth.

(people cheering)

Halt, don't kill the girl.

Take her with him.

No, let me go!

You have learned to
fight like a tiger,

but that is not sufficient.

Now you must learn
to use your head

and fight like a man.

I thought you were one
of the Black Knights.

They attacked my village,

and killed my people.

They've stolen my wife.

Yes, I know, Ator.

How do you know my name?

I've never seen you before.

I know more about you

than you know yourself.

But no one has
ever known but me.

I don't understand.

On your body, you bear
the mark of your destiny,

but you cannot see it, yet.

You were born to
defeat the Ancient One,

the Spider King.

You will be able
to see that mark,

but first, you must
prepare yourself.

The road ahead is long and hard.

[Ator] What do you mean?

I took you from
the forest, Ator,

to save you from
the wrath of Dakkar,

who hunts me now.

I gave you to Nordya,
who suckled you as her own

and raised you as a brother
to Sunya.

What do you know about Sunya?

Have no fear, for the
moment, she is in no danger.

They want her alive,
and now, come.

You must follow me.

(slow, tense orchestral music)

These are the weapons of
my vanquished enemies.

As you can see,
I have had many enemies.

The only weapons missing
are those

of the High Priest, Dakkar.

One day, I shall have them also.

That belonged
to Chun the Terrible.

I defeated him in combat
during the assault

on the City of the Winds,
which was governed

by the notorious
Seven Siamese Sisters.

Try to hit me.

What do you mean?

Hit me.

You sure?

(grunting)

(sword clanging)

(chuckling)

The same rashness
cost Chun his life.

Now, rule number one
when you fight:

keep the legs apart.

With equilibrium of the body
distributed evenly.

Like this?

(yelling)
(hitting)

Rule number two: surprise.

Keep your wits about you,
and listen.

There are many secrets, Ator,
and you are here with me

to learn them,
it is your destiny.

(tense orchestral music)

Don't I even get a thank you
for helping you out?

I could've handled it alone,
if you hadn't intruded.

How was I to know?

- Were they trying to rob you?
- I was the one who robbed them.

- What's your name?
- I don't use names.

Ha!

Griba!

Griba, where are you?

(slow, tense orchestral music)

I've found it at last.

The sword of Toron.

(slow, tense orchestral music)

Now I'll avenge my honor.

(slow, tense orchestral music)

(grunting)
(struggling)

(slow, tense orchestral music)

(dog barking)

Mhm.

A fine example of the species.

He'll suit our
purpose very well.

Tie him to the tree.

(gong sounding)

Get the fighters here.

(gong sounding)

(slow, tense orchestral music)

The victor at the
end of the contest

will have the great
honor to bear the child

that is our future leader.

Let the fighting start.

You, Roon, will be the
one to carry in your body

the future Queen of our tribe.

Now claim the prisoner,
he is yours for tonight.

As the sun rises tomorrow,
you will kill him.

You don't have much choice.

Are you ready to perform
the duty that is my right?

Well, well, no.

Actually...

I love another.

(chuckling)

And where is the lucky one?

Where is this wonderful virgin?

Hm?

Have you lost your tongue?

She's being held captive in
the temple of the Ancient One.

The Black Knights kidnapped
her from beneath my very eyes.

But not for long.

You want to desecrate
the temple of the Spider?

I have no other goal in my life.

Alone?

I'm well prepared,
I can assure you.

No one has ever returned alive

from the temple of the Spider.

The Holy Book says,
that only the son

of Toron can defeat
the Ancient One.

I will find her.

I will recover my love.

I hope she's still alive.

I owe you my life.

It occurs to you now.

You wouldn't admit
it by the river bank.

It's different now.

(chuckling) Glad for that.

I will spare your life, but,
you must take me with you.

Altruism doesn't suit you any
better than maternity, Roon.

What's your idea?

Gold.

So much gold and
silver or jewels,

shut up in the
temple of the Spider.

It could be ours
without any difficulty.

That's my idea.

It could change our future.

You haven't even
told me your name.

(chuckling)

I don't use names, remember?

(slow, tense orchestral music)

That looks like
the sword of Toron.

How did you come to have it?

There's no time for that, now.

We've got to get it back.

But it's not going to be easy.

Look, there are
guards over there.

If they discover us,
we won't stand a chance.

I'll take care of the
sword, you keep watch.

Alright.

Our only hope lies
in distracting them.

[Roon] It's out in the
open, the guards will see you.

[Ator] We'll leave that to
Kiog, he'll keep them busy.

Go ahead, Kiog, create
a little chaos for us.

Go on.

Go on.

(dogs barking)

(slow, tense orchestral music)

- What's going on?
- Let's go and find out.

(dogs barking)

(slow, tense orchestral music)

[Leader] They're
trying to get away!

Catch them and bring them back!

I want them captured.

Quick, get moving!

Come with me!

- We'll go this way.
- Don't let them escape!

(slow, tense orchestral music)

(guards yelling)

[Woman] I found tracks here!

(hitting)

(slow orchestral music)

(slow, tense orchestral music)

(rocks falling)

Roon?

Where are you?

Roon!

(slow, tense orchestral music)

Sunya!

Sunya, wait for me!

[Indun] Ator!

Come!

I'm in here.

Follow me, Ator.

(slow, tense orchestral music)

Ator, come to me, I'm here!

Sunya.

But...

You're not...

It doesn't matter who I am.

(slow, tense orchestral music)

You must be tired.

Here.

Drink this.

(slow, tense orchestral music)

No!

Never touch that drape.

I was expecting you.

You will be happy here.

It's peaceful.

The days run into the nights,

and the nights into the days.

Time will mean nothing to you.

You will feel that you've
stepped into eternity.

Here we are all immortal.

She looked at me.

I heard her voice.

She smiled at me.

(chuckling)

She smiled at you, did she?

That's what you thought.

Do you want to see your beloved?

Come here.

Come on.

(slow, tense music)

I will show you your loved one.

(slow, tense music)

I will show you your loved one.

Sunya.

(slow, tense music)

No.

No.

That's impossible.

No, my dear.

That was the girl you
gave year heart to.

You saw her with your own eyes.

She is only too happy
to have been chosen

to wed the Ancient One.

(slow, tense music)

You will be mine
until you have no

strength left to gratify me.

(Kiog snorting)

Kiog!

Good boy, you found me.

Help me escape!

Come on, Kiog.

Hurry!

(Kiog snorting)

Come on, Kiog, you can do it!

(slow, tense orchestral music)

[Ator] Indun, how
beautiful you are.

The sight of your face
fills me with strange joy.

(slow, tense orchestral music)

Your touch, is ecstasy.

(slow, tense orchestral music)

(groaning)

(Kiog snorting)

(snake hissing)

This is Prince Sultan,
of the Zori tribe.

He opposed my will
and I transformed him

into an owl that has
to sit on a perch.

Come, Ator.

(water running)
(bird chirping)

(slow, tense orchestral music)

You know what to do, Kiog.

Go on!

(slow, tense orchestral music)

(Kiog snorting)

[Indun] Get out of here!

(Kiog snorting)

(clanging)

(slow, tense orchestral music)
(screaming)

(slow, tense orchestral music)

Ator, a curse on you.

Come quickly.

Escape while you can.

[Indun] You'll
pay for this Ator.

I shall be avenged.

If we can get
through this jungle,

we will be out of
Indun's territory.

It's too still.

[Roon] Now we must
pass through the land

of the walking dead.

[Ator] Well, if we gotta go.

(slow, tense orchestral music)

(slow, tense orchestral music)

(slow, tense music)

(dead soldiers groaning)

They've disappeared.

Come on, let's get out of here.

(people talking)

Ah.

[Man] Join you for a jug?

Yeah, why not.

Suit yourself.

(Kiog snorting)

Alright if I take her
for two clesidras, huh?

Mm, mhm.

Thank you.

[Woman] Come on.

Hey, where do you
think you're goin'?

Let the man look at ya.

[Man] Yes, she's fine.

Here, take this.

(laughing)

(coins tinkling)

We need two horses.

I'm sure the cripple will
know how to get them.

I think it'll be more
expensive than you reckon.

I don't think you need to worry

too much about the cost.

Watch this.

Listen now, I told you once,
I told you thousand times.

(hitting)
(groaning)

Leave her alone, waste
your money on these women.

You'll give me a heart
attack, that's my money!

(hitting)
(yelling)

[Man] I never saw
her in my life before.

[Woman] Who is she?

(hitting)
(yelling)

(woman crying)

(slow, tense orchestral music)

Griba, wait!

What's the hurry?

(shucking)
(gasping)

(Kiog snorting)

(slow, tense orchestral music)

Griba, Griba, wait!

(hitting)
(groaning)

[Man] I'll take care of her.

(hitting)
- [Woman] Don't be stupid.

I am the only one
to posses the secret

of your true identity, Ator.

And I can restore the proof
of your birth to you now,

as I hid it from you
when you were a baby.

Here is the mark of
Toron, your father.

Yes, Ator, you are
the son of Toron.

It is of you, the sacred
books, have written,

and of your destiny to
defeat the Ancient One.

And now,

after long years of patience,

the moment has come.

Now you must go to to
the Volcano of Shadows

and take possession of
the Shield of Mordor,

the shield which
wards off death.

It will render you
immortal, as long as it

remains in your keeping.

Then you will
fulfill your destiny

in the temple of the Spider.

From this day on, you will
have no further need of me.

(slow, tense orchestral music)

Tears of blood.

Son of Toron lives.

Gah.

I was counting on you, Ator.

Oh, I thought you always
counted on yourself.

Ugh.

Black Knights, prepare
your men to defend

the Kingdom of the Ancient One.

The son of Toron has returned,

on the same mission
as his father,

and our old enemy
must be vanquished,

and the Spider's kingdom saved
from the fate Ator intends for it.

I, Dakkar, have no
fear of holy books.

It is not the prophet
of the Spider,

who decides the
course of destiny.

[Knights] Long
life to the Spider.

(men chanting)

(Kiog snorting)

Look, Roon, there it is.

The heart of that volcano,

in its shadows,

lies the shield of Mordor.

It possesses magic
powers, and I must have it

in order to fight
the Ancient One.

I'll help you get it.

The shield is my
destiny, not yours.

What do you know
about my destiny?

Not yet, wait.

We'll have to pass
through the caverns

of the Blind Warriors.

They have a highly
developed sense of smell,

so rub these leaves
on your skin,

and they won't be
able to detect us.

The sign of Toron.

So you are the son of Toron.

I don't understand,
why didn't you tell me?

Even I didn't know about it

until a little while ago.

A man's fate is
only revealed to him

when he's halfway
through his life.

If it were revealed
sooner, it would

only seem an illusion.

So then it was not
your beloved Sunya

who drove you to the
Kingdom of the Ancient One.

Sunya's not an illusion,
if that's what you think.

Sunya is a part of my destiny.

power consists of.

Don't you realize?

If it has struck me, the
shield would've been yours.

I'm not interested
in the shield.

It's of no value to me.

That's true.

Your concern is the treasure.

That's the only
reason I'm with you.

We both found what
we were looking for.

Wait!

I want my treasure.

Leave it.

You'll soon have all the
gold of the Ancient One.

The Spider's treasure, Ator.

The richest treasure
in the world.

Yes.

Your blessed treasure.

And now I think
our paths separate.

I must find Sunya.

Now nothing stands between
you and your destiny.

Our ways, Ator, divide here.

(tense orchestral music)

[Ator] Come on!

(tense orchestral music)

(hitting)

[Knight] They have invaded
the Temple of the Spider.

Kill them!

[Sunya] Help!

Help!

That sounds like Sunya.

Go.

Help!

Save me!

(screaming)

Sunya!

What are you doing here?

No one can obstruct
the will of the Spider.

Not even the son of Toron.

But it was you who
guided me to this place.

In order to regain
my rightful place

and only to return to
what I have always been.

The High Priest of the Spider.

Ator, take me away from here.

First I must complete
what I was born to do.

[Roon] Oh.

[Ator] Roon.

(gasping)

Won't you let me see
your beloved Sunya?

Yes, of course.

I'll go get her.

No, no.

Perhaps, it's better like this.

If I can't see her,

I could still believe

she's just one

of your...

Illusions.

Roon.

Roon.
