4:21Full Transcript
[00:00] When the old prisoner broke his bonds,
[00:06] the foundling rose to the sky
[00:11] and became
[00:13] a beacon.
[00:18] Fulgrim fell quiet for a time
[00:23] until the underth
[00:25] arrived.
[00:31] At first, her remains were woripped.
[00:36] Yet, that was not enough.
[00:40] They carved temples from her bones,
[00:44] pilfered the wealth of her womb.
[00:49] But within her helm, a foul passenger
[00:54] fested,
[00:55] whispering madness
[00:59] until it broke free.
[01:04] Kin turned upon Qin.
[01:07] The temples were ravaged, her eggs lost.
[01:16] She feared all her over were gone,
[01:20] spoiled,
[01:22] tainted.
[01:24] But one did survive.
[01:29] A strong one.
[01:49] It's time, child.
[01:54] Wake up.
[02:04] You think you're one of them?
[02:08] You're not.
[02:12] You hatched here, but you belong
[02:15] somewhere else.
[02:17] Arise,
[02:20] Harbinger.
[02:48] Go on ahead. I need a few more flowers
[02:51] before I can join the others.
[03:00] >> I think I feel her presence.
[03:03] The mother. She's near.
[03:16] Come on, Lavender.
[03:19] Will you dance with me?
[03:22] Guess not.
[03:32] >> Please don't hurt Nav'i.
[03:34] >> Fetch the bucket.
[03:35] >> No.
[03:37] We need its blood for the ritual.
[03:42] >> Oh, could you?
[03:45] >> Why?
[03:45] >> I'm not ready to die. Please let me go.
[03:50] >> Don't be silly. We're meeting today.
[03:55] We're meeting today.
[04:01] Lavender,
[04:04] we're ready for you.
[04:10] Come closer.
[04:21] This knight Aros.
[04:27] He was once like any mortal,
[04:33] driven by the illusion of self.
[04:39] Now he's pure,
[04:44] a vessel to be filled
[04:49] with purpose.
[04:55] your purpose.
[05:06] >> You're more than a weapon, child.
[05:10] Find what remains of me.
[05:57] Do not mourn. Your true disciples are
[06:01] waiting.
[07:15] Wow.
[07:28] Wow.
[08:09] This is
[08:26] God.
[08:55] Nice job.
[09:06] Come learn of your strength, child.
[09:22] Another
[09:26] wandering twist.
[10:12] Heat.
[10:32] Heat.
[10:54] Come on,
[10:56] All right.
[11:36] Come learn of your strength, child.
[12:47] Yeah.
[12:51] Hello.
[13:14] Heat.
[13:35] C.
[13:52] Your shell serves you as a brother.
[15:02] Oh my god.

[26:39] Heat.
[26:52] Careful. It's quiet. No briggins.
[26:57] Not even a mouse.
[27:00] Something's wrong.
[27:03] I
[27:04] can't explain it, but I feel as if
[27:09] there's something that I should
[27:12] remember.
[27:13] something dangerous.
[27:16] Or perhaps
[27:18] I'm just mad.
