BeastMaster (1999–2002): Season 3, Episode 14 - The Choice - full transcript

[ panting ]

IF KING ZAD KNEW
WHAT YOU WERE DOING,

HE'D HAVE YOU DRAWN
AND QUARTERED.

Callista:
MY BROTHER'S IN XINCA
PULLING THE WINGS OFF FLIES.

[ shrilling ]

OH, WELL, WELL, WELL.

ONE OF
BEASTMASTER'S LITTLE FRIENDS.

HE'LL SEE OUR WARRIORS,

WARN THE BEASTMASTER
THAT WE'RE COMING.

EXACTLY.

WE'LL FORCE THEM TO LEAD US
TO THE KEY



TO HIS OWN DEFEAT --
THE CRYSTAL ARK.

[ panting ]

UGH!

[ shrilling ]

WHAT DOES SHARAK SEE?

CALLISTA'S WARRIORS
ARE HEADING TOWARDS THE CLIFFS.

SHE'S GOING
TO FIND IT.

NOT IF WE GET THERE FIRST.

[ panting ]

I THINK WE BEAT THEM.

[ neighing ]

[ growling ]
[ bleating ]

THEY'RE HERE.

YOUR FAMILY?



ARE THEY
ALL RIGHT?

IT'S NOT SAFE ANYMORE --
I MUST GET THEM OUT OF HERE.

I DON'T HEAR ANYTHING.

EXACTLY.

A LITTLE LATE.
CALLISTA--

THANKS FOR LEADING ME HERE.

AUGURIES TEND
TO BE A BIT VAGUE,

NO MATTER HOW MANY ANIMALS
I SACRIFICE.

[ yelling ]

[ grunting ]

AHH.

[ roaring ]

[ groaning ]

[ panting ]

DAR, DAR!

[ groaning ]

WHAT WILL IT BE,
BEASTMASTER?

[ Tao groaning ]

SAVE YOUR FRIEND
OR SAVE THE ARK?

Tao:
DAR!

DAR!

[ groaning ]

IN AN AGE WHEN NATURE
AND MAGIC RULED THE WORLD...

...THERE IS
AN EXTRAORDINARY LEGEND --

THE STORY OF A WARRIOR

WHO COMMUNICATES
WITH ANIMALS,

WHO FIGHTS SORCERY
AND THE UNNATURAL.

HIS NAME IS DAR,

LAST OF HIS TRIBE.

HE IS ALSO CALLED BEASTMASTER.

GO!

[ groaning ]

Tao:
I'M SLIPPING!

I'M SLIPPING!

[ groaning ]

I'VE GOT YOU.

I CANNOT HOLD ON!

HELP ME!

TAO, CLIMB!

I'VE GOT YOU.

[ groaning ]

[ grunting ]

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

ARE YOU HURT?

ARE YOU SURE?

YEAH.

CALLISTA?

SHE'S GONE, SHE'S GONE.

SHE'S GOT THE CRYSTAL ARK.

WILL THEY DESTROY
THE ARK?

WHATEVER IT TAKES TO WIN
THE PRIZE BALCIFER OFFERED ZAD.

COMPARED
TO CALLISTA,

ZAD'S
ALMOST HUMAN.

WHAT WENT WRONG
WITH THEIR FAMILY?

ALL THAT MATTERS NOW
IS THAT WE GET IT BACK.

Tao:
IF YOU CAN'T REUNITE
YOUR FAMILY IN THE ARK,

YOU WON'T HAVE THE POWER
TO STOP BALCIFER.

THIS IS MY FAULT.

CALLISTA STOLE
THE ARK, NOT YOU.

SHE KNEW YOU'D STOP
TO HELP ME.

YOU SHOULD HAVE LEFT ME THERE.

WOULD YOU HAVE LEFT ME?

THE TRACKS ARE SPLIT.

THEY'RE TRYING
TO CONFUSE US.

MAYBE SHARAK CAN HELP.

IT'S SO EASY
FOR YOU.

JUST LIKE THAT.

YOU CALL
AND SHARAK ANSWERS YOU.

[ shrilling ]

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

TO TALK TO SHARAK.

I MISS HIM.

YOU'RE THE ONLY WAY
I CAN SPEAK TO HIM.

IT'S NOT A GOOD TIME.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
WHAT I WOULD GIVE

TO SPEAK TO HIM AS YOU DO,
JUST FOR A MOMENT?

I KNOW THE TWO OF YOU
HAVE SUFFERED.

I DON'T THINK
YOU DO.

SHARAK AND I HAVE BEEN
KEPT APART FOR CENTURIES.

WHAT HAVE YOU EVER LOST?

MY FAMILY.

WE NEED SHARAK
TO HELP FIND THEM.

YOUR FAMILY.

IT'S ALWAYS
ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT.

WHAT ABOUT WHAT I WANT?

[ shrilling ]

[ sizzling ]

BALCIFER?

GREAT LORD OF EVIL.

YOUR SERVANT CALLS YOU.

I BRING YOU A GIFT.

[ thundering ]

SPEAK TO ME.

[ Balcifer's voice ]
WHY DO YOU DISTURB ME?

[ thundering ]

D-DARK ONE?

IN THIS UNWORTHY VESSEL.

NOW, SPEAK.

I BRING YOU A GIFT.

AND WHAT A GIFT.

THE CRYSTAL ARK.

WITHOUT IT, AND HIS FAMILY,

THE BEASTMASTER HAS LOST.

I HAVE WON MY RIGHTFUL PLACE
BY YOUR SIDE,

O LORD OF DARKNESS.

NO!

YOU'VE NOT WON.

NOT WHILE ELDAR'S LINE
STILL LIVES.

NOT UNTIL HIS POWER OF GOOD
IS COMPLETELY DESTROYED.

THE ARK WAS FORGED
WITH THE POWER OF GOODNESS.

I CANNOT BREAK IT.

IF YOU WOULD RULE FOR ME,

YOU MUST RELEASE THE ANIMALS
FROM THE ARK!

BUT...IF YOU CAN'T DO IT,
HOW CAN I--

DO NOT FAIL ME!

[ thundering ]

UHH.

KAMA?

[ Kama's voice ]
YES?

TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF ME.

YOU MAY HAVE BEEN FORGED
BY GOOD...

BUT YOU'LL BE BROKEN BY ME.

[ panting ]

WE'RE CLOSE.

THESE TRACKS
ARE FRESH.

IT'S THE WRONG TRAIL --
THE ARK'S HEAVY.

IF THEY'RE CARRYING IT,
THE FOOTPRINTS WOULD BE DEEPER.

[ growling ]

CAN RUH PICK UP
CALLISTA'S SCENT?
HE'LL TRY.

[ growling ]

SHE TRIED TO KILL HIM ONCE.

HE'LL BE GLAD
TO SEE HER AGAIN.

[ growling ]

[ shrilling ]

Sorceress:
SHARAK, MY LOVE.

YOU'VE PAID YOUR PENANCE.

SO WHY SHOULD WE STILL SUFFER?

I'D DO ANYTHING
TO HAVE YOU BACK,

TO FEEL YOUR TOUCH AGAIN.

DO YOU HEAR THAT, BALCIFER?

[ thundering ]

I'LL DO ANYTHING!

ANYTHING!

[ wind gusting ]

[ squeaking ]

BALCIFER?

Balcifer:
I'M HERE.

THE ANCIENT ONE IS DEAD.

AS YOU PROBABLY KNOW,
SINCE YOU KILLED HIM,

WELL, TURNED HIM
INTO A PILE OF BONES, ACTUALLY.

WHAT
DO YOU WANT?

A RATHER SMALL THING,
REALLY.

I WANT SHARAK'S CURSE
TO BE REMOVED.

I WANT HIM TO BE HUMAN AGAIN.

Balcifer:
ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.

Sorceress:
I THOUGHT
YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND.

[ Balcifer laughing
demoniacally ]

IT'S YOU WHO MUST UNDERSTAND.

SHARAK CAN BECOME HUMAN AGAIN,
BUT THERE'S A PRICE.

Sorceress:
A PRICE?

Balcifer:
THE BEASTMASTER
MUST LET SHARAK GO.

Sorceress:
HE'D NEVER DO THAT.

DAR NEEDS SHARAK
TO FULFIL HIS QUEST.

Balcifer:
NOW YOU UNDERSTAND.

Sorceress:
BUT HOW DO I CONVINCE HIM?

Balcifer:
DO WHATEVER YOU MUST.

HIS STRENGTH
IS HIS GOODNESS.

AND I'LL GIVE YOU THE POWER
TO REMOVE SHARAK'S CURSE.

BUT, BUT I--

Callista:
YOU CALL THAT A BLOW?

DO BETTER

OR I'LL MAKE AN AUGURY
WITH YOUR INSIDES.

THE BEASTMASTER!

HE'S FOLLOWING
ONE OF THE FALSE TRAILS.

OH.

THEY WON'T KEEP HIM
FOOLED FOREVER.

I'LL TAKE OUR BEST WARRIORS
AND KILL HIM AND HIS FRIEND.

KILLING THEM
ISN'T AS SIMPLE AS IT LOOKS.

HMM.

FETCH ME A SPIDER.

THE DEADLIER THE BETTER.

IS IT CALLISTA?

MAYBE.

THEY'RE CARRYING
SOMETHING HEAVY,

BUT THEY HAVEN'T COVERED
THE TRACKS.

DAR, WE'VE GOT THEM.

TAO, WAIT.

[ grunting ]

DAR.

TAO, DON'T MOVE.

I CAN'T MOVE.

THEY'RE BIRD-EATERS.

THE WEB'S ALMOST UNBREAKABLE.

DO THE BITES HURT?

NO.

GOOD --
I WAS GETTING WORRIED.

YOU'D BE DEAD
BEFORE YOU FELT A THING.

[ stuttering ]

TELL THEM I DIDN'T MEAN IT.

[ screeching ]

THEY WON'T LISTEN.

THEY'RE ANGRY
FOR SOME REASON.

JUST BE CALM.

DAR!

AHH!

WHY ARE THEY
ATTACKING?

THEY THINK WE'RE ENEMIES.

Callista:
DON'T WORRY.

MY SPELL WILL WEAR OFF SOON.

BUT BY THEN,
YOU'LL BOTH BE DEAD.

[ panting ]

NOT SO TOUGH WITHOUT
YOUR ANIMAL FRIENDS TO HELP.

HMM.

THIS WILL DO THE JOB NICELY.

I HAVE THE ARK,

I HAVE YOU.

WHAT MORE COULD A GIRL ASK?

[ screeching ]

[ growling ]

[ groaning ]

DO SOMETHING!

[ yelling ]

[ yelling ]

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR --
KILL HIM!

AHH!

TAO, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

[ Tao moaning ]

DON'T MOVE.

WHAT ABOUT THE POISON
AND CALLISTA'S SPELL?

IT'S WORN OFF.

SORRY FOR THE TROUBLE
THEY'VE CAUSED.

DON'T MOVE.

I'M FINE --
LET'S GO.

YOU'RE BLEEDING.
IT'S FROM
THAT CLIFF.

I DON'T CARE.

I LOST YOUR ARK --
I'LL GET IT BACK.

YOUR ARM NEEDS TIME TO HEAL.

RUH WILL WATCH YOUR BACK.

[ panting ]

[ growling ]

Sorceress:
LOSE SOMETHING?

CALLISTA STOLE
THE CRYSTAL ARK.

AW,
THAT'S TERRIBLE.

I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL.

I FELT THE SAME WHEN
MY POOR SHARAK WAS LOST TO ME.

THAT WAS OVER
A THOUSAND YEARS AGO.

WAS IT?

HMM.

IT FEELS LIKE YESTERDAY.

DAR,
YOU HAVE TO SET HIM FREE.

HE IS.

I DON'T OWN HIM.

I CAN CHANGE SHARAK
BACK INTO A MAN AGAIN.

HOW?

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS AGREE
TO RELEASE HIM.

HE'S NOT MINE TO RELEASE.

YOU WANT HIM TO BE HAPPY,
DON'T YOU?

OF COURSE.

CALLISTA HAS
WHAT YOU WANT.

YOU HAVE WHAT I WANT.

WE COULD WORK
SOMETHING OUT.

SHARAK ISN'T SOMETHING
YOU JUST WORK OUT.

YOU'RE JUST BEING STUBBORN,
BECAUSE YOU NEED HIM

TO FIND YOUR FAMILY.

I NEED TO FIND MY FAMILY
SO I CAN BEAT BALCIFER.

IF I DON'T, HE'LL PLUNGE
THE WORLD INTO CHAOS.

I WON'T LET THAT HAPPEN.

THERE YOU GO!

THINKING OF YOURSELF AGAIN.

DAR!

[ sighing ]

GOODNESS DIDN'T WORK.

MAYBE BLACKMAIL WILL.

[ growling ]

YOU KNOW,
I FEEL BETTER NOW.

GOOD AS NEW.

[ growling ]

HAVEN'T YOU GOT SOMETHING
BETTER TO DO?

[ growling ]

[ sighing ]

[ thudding ]

WHAT WAS THAT?

SOMEONE'S COMING.

[ growling ]

POWDERED VENOM
OF A FIRE LIZARD.

HOT AS THE FIRES OF HELL.

NOTHING CAN WITHSTAND IT.

HMM.

[ sizzling ]

NOW WE'LL SEE
WHO'S STRONGER.

OHH.

NO.

IT'S NOT POSSIBLE.

IT'S TIME FOR ANOTHER AUGURY.

I'LL SACRIFICE
THE BEASTMASTER'S LITTLE FRIEND.

I'LL LEARN
HOW TO OPEN THE ARK.

MAYBE SORCERESS IS RIGHT.

MAYBE I'M BEING SELFISH.

I HAVE TO FIND MY FAMILY.

I DON'T HAVE A CHOICE
BUT YOU DO.

IF IT WAS UP TO YOU,
WHAT WOULD YOU CHOOSE?

HA, NEVER MIND ME.

JUST TELL ME
WHAT'S IN YOUR HEART.

[ twittering ]

YOU LOVE HER THAT MUCH, HUH?

[ twittering ]

DON'T BE SORRY.

YOU DESERVE YOUR FREEDOM.

[ growling ]

WHY DID YOU LET HIM GO?

[ growling ]

YOU'RE RIGHT.

BITING HIM WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN
A GOOD IDEA.

WE CAN'T LEAVE HIM OUT THERE.

ONE MORE TIME, OLD FRIEND.

I NEED YOU TO FIND TAO
BEFORE CALLISTA DOES.

[ panting ]

I'M NOT GOING TO HURT YOU.

MY FRIEND IS VERY HUNGRY.

[ growling ]

YOU REMEMBER RUH,
BECAUSE HE REMEMBERS YOU.

YOU'RE WASTING
YOUR TIME.

WHO ARE YOU?

AHH.

SORCERESS,
WHAT ARE YOU AFTER?

THE BEASTMASTER'S FRIEND
WON'T OPEN THE ARK FOR YOU.

HOW DO YOU KNOW
THAT?

BECAUSE.

I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN.

Callista:
HA.

YOU'D GET THE ANIMALS OUT,
FOR ME.

Sorceress:
NO, BUT I COULD GET YOU IN.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THAT
IS UP TO YOU.

WHY WOULD YOU
HELP ME?

MAYBE IT'S TIME
THE BEASTMASTER LEARNED

A LITTLE LESSON.

Callista:
YOU COULD DO IT YOURSELF.

YOU COULD BECOME
BALCIFER'S CHOSEN ONE.

I'M UP TO
SOMETHING ELSE.

AHH.

WE ALL HAVE OUR OWN LITTLE DUELS
WITH THE DARK ONE,

DON'T WE?

MM-HMM.

LOOK DEEPLY.

WHAT DO YOU SEE?

NOTHING.

LOOK CLOSER.

AHH.

WELL, BEASTMASTER.

I'M SURE YOUR FAMILY
ARE DYING TO MEET ME.

IT'S TOO DANGEROUS
TO GO OFF ON YOUR OWN.

Tao:
IF IT WASN'T FOR ME,
CALLISTA WOULDN'T HAVE THE ARK.

Dar:
GETTING YOURSELF KILLED
WON'T HELP.

CALLISTA IS TOO POWERFUL
FOR YOU TO FIGHT ALONE.

Sorceress:
THAT'S AN UNDERSTATEMENT.

WE HAVE TO TALK.

THERE'S SOMETHING
YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT CALLISTA.

WE MUST TALK ABOUT SHARAK --
LET ME FINISH.

HE DESERVES TO BE HAPPY,
TO BE A MAN AGAIN.

YOU'RE RIGHT.
NO MATTER WHAT
YOU SAY--

WHAT DID YOU SAY?

YOU'RE RIGHT.

SHARAK DESERVES TO BE HAPPY.

HE'S MADE HIS DECISION.

YOU'RE GOING TO GIVE HIM UP?

WILLINGLY?

YES, WILLINGLY.

SHARAK.

YOU WERE GOING TO SAY SOMETHING
ABOUT CALLISTA?

CALLISTA?

Tao:
WHAT WERE YOU GOING TO SAY
ABOUT HER?

IF SHE WERE TO GET THE ARK OPEN,
IT WOULD BE THE END.

I KNOW WHERE SHE'S CAMPED.

THANK YOU.

WHAT CAN I SAY?

NOTHING.

I COULDN'T HAVE COME THIS FAR
WITHOUT YOU.

YOU'RE A TRUE FRIEND.

ALWAYS.

COME ON, SHOW YOURSELVES.

I KNOW YOU'RE IN HERE
SOMEWHERE.

THERE YOU ARE.

[ growling ]

AH, THERE'S A NICE TIGER.

COME TO CALLISTA.

[ growling ]

[ snarling ]

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KILL YOU
IF YOU WON'T HOLD STILL?

[ bleating ]
OHH.

THERE.

YOU'RE NOT AFRAID OF ME,
ARE YOU?

[ bleating ]
HMM.

THERE'S MORE THAN ONE WAY
TO SKIN THE BEASTMASTER.

A THOUSAND YEARS
APART.

I THINK WE'VE MADE UP
FOR ONE OR TWO CENTURIES.

HOW YOU MUST HAVE SUFFERED.

UNABLE TO SPEAK,
WALK AS A MAN.

THAT WASN'T THE HARDEST.

WHAT WAS?

NOT BEING WITH YOU.

EVEN HARDER THAN BEING
IMPRISONED IN AN EAGLE'S BODY?

[ sighing ]

I COULD FLY ABOVE THE EARTH,
SAIL FREE ON THE WIND.

YOU SOUND LIKE YOU MISS IT.

I'LL HAVE TO GET USED
TO BEING A MAN AGAIN.

I CAN HELP YOU WITH THAT.

ARE YOU FEELING BETTER?

GOOD AS NEW.

[ shrilling ]

I THOUGHT IT WAS--

I KNOW.

I'LL MISS HIM.
ME TOO.

I WISH HE WAS HERE.

AS AN EAGLE, THAT IS.

WE'LL HAVE TO GET USED
TO HIM BEING A MAN.

WAS BREAKING THE CURSE
THE RIGHT THING TO DO?

I KNOW IT WAS.

Sorceress:
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

IT'S DAR,
ISN'T IT?

IF CALLISTA DESTROYS HIS FAMILY,

BALCIFER WILL WIN.

THEN BALCIFER
WINS.

THAT DOESN'T BOTHER YOU?

EVIL TRIUMPHS FOR AWHILE,

THEN GOOD
RISES--
I DON'T WANT EVIL
TO TRIUMPH.

MAYBE IT WON'T.

DAR'S ANIMALS ARE SAFE
INSIDE THE ARK.

CALLISTA CAN'T HARM THEM
IN THERE.

YOU MEAN,
IF SHE COULD GET INSIDE.

OF COURSE.

IF SHE COULD GET INSIDE.

NOW,

COME TO BED.

WE HAVE A FEW MORE CENTURIES
TO CATCH UP ON.

BALCIFER WAS RIGHT.

THE ARK IS TOO POWERFUL.

THE ANIMALS CAN'T BE KILLED
WITHIN ITS WALLS.

ON THE OTHER HAND, THERE MAY BE
A WAY TO GET THEM OUTSIDE.

WHERE DID THEY GO?

LET'S FIND
THE ARK.

I'LL CHECK INSIDE THE TENT.

[ gurgling ]

THANK YOU, FRIENDS.

WHAT IS IT?

THE WARRIORS HAVE THROWN
SOMETHING IN HERE.

THE ARK?

THEY THINK IT BELONGS TO ME.

THERE IT IS.

LET ME, LET ME.

WE FOUND THE ARK.

[ grunting ]

WE FOUND THE ARK.

WE BEAT...

CALLISTA.

HA!

Tao:
WHAT'S WRONG?

IT'S EMPTY.

IT CAN'T BE --
YOUR FAMILY IS--

THEY'RE GONE, ALL OF THEM.

HA, THERE THEY ARE,
THE NOBLE FAMILY OF KING ELDAR.

THEY DON'T LOOK SO POWERFUL NOW,
DO THEY?

WHY DIDN'T YOU
KILL THEM

IN THE ARK?

THE ARK PROTECTED THEM.

THIS WAS THE ONLY WAY
I COULD GET THEM OUT.

NOT DEAD,
YET NOT EXACTLY ALIVE.

IT WOULD BE SO EASY
TO SMASH THEM INTO POWDER.

[ thundering ]

BUT I WON'T.

BALCIFER HAS OTHER PLANS
FOR THEM.

[ thundering ]

Callista:
IT'S TIME TO SACRIFICE
THE BEASTMASTER'S ENTIRE FAMILY.

HMM.

STARTING WITH THIS ONE.

[ bleating ]

THE ARK WAS MADE
TO PROTECT YOUR FAMILY,

KEEP THEM SAFE FROM EVIL.

ONLY WHILE
THEY'RE INSIDE.

HOW DID CALLISTA GET THEM OUT,
WITH BALCIFER'S HELP?

HE WASN'T THE ONLY
ONE HELPING.

IS THAT WHAT SORCERESS
WANTED TO TELL YOU?

IT DOESN'T
MATTER.

WE CAN'T LEAVE
THEM WITH CALLISTA.

WHAT WILL SHE DO
TO YOUR FAMILY?

WITHOUT SHARAK?

WHATEVER
BALCIFER WANTS.

IS THERE SOMETHING
YOU'D LIKE TO SEE?

A VISION, ANYTHING?

SHOW ME HOW DAR IS DOING.

DAR.

I WANT TO KNOW
IF HE'S FOUND THE ARK AGAIN.

COME TO THINK OF IT,

THAT BOWL HAS BEEN TEMPERAMENTAL
LATELY.

CAN'T YOU JUST BE HAPPY
WITH ME,

HERE, NOW, FOREVER?

WHAT IF I COULD DO SOMETHING
TO HELP DAR, AND I DON'T?

THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO
FOR DAR IF BALCIFER'S WON.

WHY WOULD BALCIFER WIN?

HE CAN'T GET INTO THE ARK.

CAN HE?

NO.

NOT BALCIFER, EXACTLY.

YOU DIDN'T TELL CALLISTA
HOW TO GET IN THE ARK?

MAYBE JUST A HINT,
A LITTLE ONE.

DO YOU REALIZE
WHAT YOU'VE DONE?

YES, I FREED YOU!

YOU'VE GIVEN THE WORLD
TO BALCIFER.

I DID IT FOR US.

US?

AT WHAT PRICE?

I WAS GOING TO TELL DAR.

BUT YOU DIDN'T.

I WAS AFRAID YOU'D BE ANGRY.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

TO HELP DAR,
IF IT'S NOT TOO LATE.

SHARAK!

I WAITED A THOUSAND YEARS.

HOW COULD YOU CHOOSE HIM
OVER ME?

DAR'S BATTLE IS MORE IMPORTANT
THAN EITHER OF US.

BALCIFER WANTS TO ENSLAVE
THE WHOLE WORLD!

I COULD CAST A SPELL.

FORCE YOU TO STAY WITH ME.

I'D BE A PRISONER AGAIN.

I LOVE YOU.

AND I LOVE--

IF YOU LOVE ME,
YOU WON'T STOP ME

FROM DOING WHAT IS RIGHT.

[ both panting ]

Tao:
WE MUST BE GETTING CLOSE.

[ thundering ]

A STORM IN A CLEAR SKY.

NO.

IT'S BALCIFER.

[ goat bleating ]

[ bleating ]

BALCIFER,
GREAT LORD OF NIGHT!

ACCEPT THESE GIFTS
FROM YOUR LOYAL SERVANT.

A WARNING

TO ALL THOSE
WHO WOULD DEFY YOU.

A SIGN OF YOUR POWER

FOR ALL TO SEE,

FOR ALL TIME!

[ thundering ]

BUT FIRST,
A LIFE MUST BE GIVEN.

DAR'S BROTHER.

WHEN HIS LIFE ESCAPES,
BALCIFER'S WILL SHALL BE DONE!

[ thundering ]

STOP THEM!

UGH!

[ grunting ]

[ thundering ]

UGH.

[ grunting ]

NOT THIS TIME.

WHO THE HELL
ARE YOU?

A LITTLE BIRD.

[ bleating ]

DON'T JUST STAND THERE,
GO AFTER IT!

IT'S TOO LATE!

I'LL HAVE TO IMPROVISE.

BALCIFER DEMANDS A LIFE,
BUT HE DIDN'T SAY WHOSE.

AHH --
OHH.

[ thundering ]

Callista:
BEASTMASTER!

YOU WANT YOUR FAMILY?

THERE THEY ARE.

THERE THEY STAY, FOREVER.

CALLISTA!

Sharak:
THE GOAT ESCAPED,
BUT THE REST OF YOUR FAMILY--

TURNED
TO STONE.

I WON'T LEAVE THEM
LIKE THIS.

MAGIC IMPRISONED THEM.

MAGIC WILL SET THEM FREE.

SORCERESS IS PARTLY TO BLAME
FOR THIS.

I THINK
SHE MIGHT BE PERSUADED.

SORCERESS!

SORCERESS!
SORCERESS!

SORCERESS!

I ONLY WANTED TO CONVINCE YOU
TO LET SHARAK GO.

I DIDN'T MEAN FOR THIS
TO HAPPEN.

BUT IT DID.
CAN YOU
UNDO IT?

A LIFE WAS GIVEN UP
TO TRANSFORM THEM INTO THE ROCK.

WHAT WOULD IT TAKE
TO TURN THEM BACK?

ANOTHER SACRIFICE.

THEN TAKE ME.
DAR, NO.

I SAID TAKE ME.

WITHOUT YOU,
NO ONE CAN FIGHT BALCIFER.

YOU'RE TOO IMPORTANT.

BUT I'M NOT.

THIS IS ALL MY FAULT.

I WON'T LET YOU SACRIFICE
YOURSELF FOR MY QUEST.

THEN WE'RE FINISHED.

[ sighing ]

LET IT BE ME.

I WON'T LET ANYONE ELSE DIE
FOR MY CAUSE.

I WON'T DIE --
I HAVE TWO LIVES:

ONE AS AN EAGLE;
ONE AS A MAN.

I'LL ONLY BE GIVING UP MY LIFE
AS A MAN.

IF YOU DO THIS, YOU WILL NEVER
TOUCH HER AS A MAN AGAIN.

BUT I'LL STILL LOVE HER.

THERE ARE WORSE THINGS
THAN BEING AN EAGLE.

AND MAYBE,
WHEN THE BATTLE'S OVER,

AND YOU'VE WON,
MAYBE WE'LL GET A SECOND CHANCE.

IF IT TAKES
A THOUSAND YEARS...

I'LL BE WAITING.

[ sighing ]

DID IT WORK?

[ neighing ]
[ whimpering ]

THEY'RE HERE.

[ sighing ]

NOW WE'LL HAVE TO FIND THE GOAT.

[ twittering ]

[ shrilling ]

CALLISTA FOUND THE ARK ONCE.

SHE'LL FIND IT AGAIN.

WHERE DID YOU HIDE IT?

HA.

ON SECOND THOUGHT,
I DON'T WANT TO KNOW.

WHAT I DON'T KNOW,
CALLISTA CAN'T GET OUT OF ME.

I'M GOING TO FIND YOUR BROTHER
BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE DOES.

[ Sharak shrilling ]

WE'RE SMARTER THAN THEY ARE.

[ chuckling ]

[ shrilling ]

IS HE HAPPY?

HE'S HAPPY.

THANK YOU.

I THINK
HE MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE.
