Short filmTranscript
00:00In the kingdom of Aura, the king and his knights walk through the hill while chasing the dragon. He follows the beast to the cave, where the group sees something that leaves them in shock.
00:07At that moment, the dragon flies in and lights a fire to kill most of the knights at once, then uses his fish to catch the remaining knights one by one and kill them as well.
00:17In the end, he comes to the king, who falls on his knees waiting for the end. Many centuries later, in the land to the north, Floria and Elodie cut down the trees they can find.
00:25They are the daughters of a local master and give everything they have to help their people, who suffer from hunger and cold because winter plagues the land.
00:32More and more people leave every day, which means that soon they may not have a city.
00:37Surprised, the sisters see a carriage passing by, which is strange because they never get visitors.
00:41They rush back home, where they find their father, Lord Beiford, and Machehu Lady Beiford, talking to their honored sister, who says that Elodie will be grateful before she leaves.
00:51Lord Beiford then tells Elodie that the royal family from Aurea wants her to marry their prince.
00:56At first, Elodie rejects, but Beiford changes his mind when he announces that their city will get enough money to save their lives for many years to come.
01:05After a while, the family sails to Aurea.
01:08As they approach their destination, the ship enters very thick fog and the group is terrified of some visible figures in the dark, but it turns out to be two large statues of dragons.
01:16When they arrive, the family is amazed at how prosperous the land is and the grandeur of the palace.
01:22The servants take them to their rooms and inform them that they will meet the royal family tomorrow.
01:26Elodie goes out to the balcony to admire the view and notices the girl of her age on the other balcony, who is about to leave Slushkin.
01:33That night, Elodie cannot sleep, so she stays up drawing.
01:37Then she goes out to the balcony to breathe some fresh air and notices that there is no light in the room of the other girl.
01:42She is also surprised to see the bauble in the distance, which means that someone is going to the mountain in the middle of the night.
01:47The next day, Elodie's family meets the royal family.
01:50Queen Isabelle sends Elodie to spend some time with Prince Henry before the wedding.
01:55After the initial disagreement, Elodie and Henry agree and have a very pleasant conversation.
01:59After Henry praises Elodie's artistic skills in her letter, Elodie asks about the bauble she saw last night.
02:05Henry explains that it is one of the three ancient ceremonies that started with their ancestors, so the wedding is the same day.
02:12Meanwhile, in the court, Lord Bayford ends the conversation with Isabelle and looks very upset.
02:17Lady Bayford tries to check how she is, but he gets angry and promises that nothing is all right.
02:22After that, Lady Bayford tries to talk to Isabelle, who does not accept it well.
02:26When Lady Bayford explains that she thinks that the families should be connected and agree,
02:31Isabelle says that this is just a transaction born out of necessity, she needs a princess, and Bayford's land is money.
02:37He also reminds Bayford that she is the producer of the bauble, so she should not forget her position.
02:42Lady Bayford notices that Isabelle is mispronouncing Elodie's name and tries to fix it, but Isabelle does not care and leaves.
02:49In the evening, worried about Lady Bayford, Elodie goes to say that something suspicious is happening.
02:53She also thinks that the wedding should be canceled, but before they can continue to argue, Lord Bayford comes and sends everything to bed.
03:01The next morning, the servants help Elodie prepare for the ceremony.
03:04She gets a beautiful dress, which includes a dark beanie and a perfume diffuser.
03:09The wedding goes well and Henry and Elodie exchange rings, a kiss, and Elodie gets her crown.
03:14After that, Elodie says goodbye to her family and enters the carriage with Henry, who explains that he will join the ancient ceremony on the mountain.
03:21They climb the steep steps, and Elodie is shocked to find a crowd of people wearing golden masks, and not to mention Isabelle dressed as an honorable sister.
03:30The queen gives Elodie money, saying that she will help protect the kingdom, and then enters while Isabelle tells a story.
03:36When their ancestors arrived on this island, they discovered that the dragon lives there as the last of his kind.
03:41The dragon attacked the village, which he saw people settling in, so the king gathered his soldiers and tried to fight the beasts.
03:48However, the dragon killed everyone except the king, who had to give his three daughters to the island to be divided.
03:53While listening to the story, Elodie notices how everyone is calling her and the fact that a dangerous bridge is crossing over the valley.
03:59Then Isabelle explains that the queen is a victim of what every generation celebrates before they cut Henry and Elodie's hands.
04:05She pushes them together to mix their blood and cover them with fabric, announcing that Elodie is now a servant of the royal blood.
04:12Next, Elodie throws the money into the abyss, thinking that this is the end of the ritual.
04:16Henry urges her to carry it over the bridge, but is surprised to hear the story and throws it into the abyss.
04:21Screaming while falling, Elodie hits the branches until she falls on the mud and becomes unconscious.
04:25She wakes up a moment later with various bruises on her body, but still gets up and starts screaming for help.
04:31No one stayed on the bridge, but her voice wakes up the dragon hidden deep in the cave.
04:36Then Elodie cries while her father grows angry and takes off his luxurious cape before he tries to get out.
04:41Unfortunately, she falls again and gets another injury.
04:44At that moment, she sees another cape that does not belong to her and realizes that the kings have been sacrificing the dragon girl for years.
04:50She hears a buzz and turns to notice the light inside the cave, so she goes inside to find the bird in the flame.
04:56Elodie immediately uses a little earth to put out the fire, but she is too late, the bird is already dead.
05:00She is surprised to hear the sound of hundreds of birds in the cave flying into the flame, flying over Elodie a few minutes before the dead around her fall.
05:08With small bodies that serve as lights, Elodie tries to find the way out, only to freeze when she sees the dragon coming.
05:15Elodie runs to hide behind the wall while the dragon starts talking, saying that every generation of kings must pay and that she can feel it in Elodie's blood.
05:23Looking at her curse, Elodie realizes that the ceremony was carried out to deceive the dragon.
05:28The dragon tells her to run and she does it while screaming, managing to get into the tunnel while the dragon blows fire behind her.
05:33The flame enters the tunnel, but Elodie manages to find a safe place just in time.
05:38There is a burnt body and she realizes that it is the girl she saw on the balcony.
05:42When she hears that the dragon is coming again, Elodie tries to escape through a small hole, only to get stuck behind the head.
05:48The flame is approaching, so after a lot of fighting, Elodie manages to take off her crinoline and escape, hiding in a smaller cave.
05:54Unfortunately, some fire still reaches her legs and burns her, forcing her to scream in pain.
05:59She hears the dragon, but she can't feel it because there is not enough room for her huge body.
06:04When the dragon leaves, Elodie remembers a blunt knife and cuts a stone, and then cuts off part of her dress.
06:10The pain in her leg is unbearable, but it breaks through and connects the wound with the torn tissue.
06:14Then she opens the diffuser and catches a little fire in it to use it as a candle.
06:19Now she can explore the cave and in the end she finds a very narrow passage.
06:22She starts to crawl through it and her crinoline is stuck again, so she pulls until it is released and slides down the hill in the process.
06:28Elodie tries to hold on, but her hands are injured and tired, so she falls again and the fire in the diffuser goes out.
06:34Refusing to give up, Elodie gets up and holds on to the wall to walk, determined to reach the light she sees in the distance.
06:40After a very painful walk, she comes out of the tunnel, just to almost fall off the edge of the cliff.
06:45She can still see the light on the other side, so after she takes off her ring and throws it back, Elodie pulls back and runs to make a big jump.
06:53The other side of the cliff is slippery and she can't hold on, but luckily, as she climbs the hill, her belt is stuck behind the rock.
06:59She soon stops, but it gives her enough time to take off the belt and tie it in a bow to hold on.
07:05Then she uses the belt to climb the rest of the way and discovers that the light is coming from the sweet, bright candles.
07:10After checking that she is not bitten, Elodie takes off her puffer glove and puts a bunch of candles inside to make a new candle.
07:17Then she goes a little further and finds a small lake, but when she tries to drink, she immediately spits out the water.
07:22In the cave, the plants give water a disgusting taste, but from the ceiling drops ice, so Elodie stands under it to catch all the drops she can.
07:30Suddenly the ice begins to melt faster, and the light that passes through it looks a little red, so Elodie opens her eyes and discovers the dragon piercing the ice with her fire.
07:39Elodie runs away while the dragon pierces the ice and falls into the crevice to chase her, she doesn't go far again because Elodie enters another tunnel that is too small for a wild animal.
07:47In this small cellar, Elodie finds a message on the wall that says,
07:50Surely she can't get here, and it's signed with the letter V.
07:54While looking around, Elodie finds many girls naked and on the other wall their names added over the years, including a V that belonged to a girl named Victoria.
08:04Elodie takes a moment to feel sorry for them before she takes off the belt from her leg, which doesn't look any better.
08:09After that, Elodie tries to sleep under the light.
08:13Suddenly she begins to see the spirits of the previous victims suffering in pain, fear and betrayal.
08:17Victoria adds her name to the wall just to suddenly turn around and tell Elodie that it's all a lie.
08:23At that moment, Elodie wakes up and finds guns on her wound on her leg.
08:27She is terrified and begins to take off her clothes just to find out that their servants have healing properties and feed her leg well.
08:33She puts the gun on the other bigger wound and tells what haunted her.
08:37Feeling better, Elodie takes a better look around and finds a map on the wall, which means that at least one girl managed to escape.
08:44The map shows her that she will find three crossroads in the tunnel and that she must take the middle one, where she must follow the crystals and the voice to the exit.
08:51After that, Elodie takes off all the uncomfortable parts of her dress, adds her name to the wall and takes the middle crossroad, ignoring the echo of the dragon's screams.
09:00Finally, she hears a small melody and goes a little further to the wall covered with crystals, which are the cause of the noise and also shine under the rays of the sun because they are just below the exit.
09:08The crown is closer with a sign V, which means that Victoria managed to escape.
09:12Being that the crystals are thin, Elodie takes off her dress to cover her arms and legs, and then with the help of the crown she begins to climb.
09:19Not knowing that the dragon is watching, Elodie makes an effort to climb and the crystal breaks under her hands, which causes her to fall, but using the crown, she holds on at the last moment.
09:28Then Elodie hears the dragon nearby, so she rushes and finally reaches the exit, only to discover that there is a hole very high on the edge of the mountain.
09:35Desperate, Elodie falls on her knees and begins to cry.
09:39Surprised by the sound, the horse helps Elodie to notice a group of hunters who are running through the mountain.
09:44She tries to call for help, but at that moment the dragon flies towards her and covers the hole.
09:48Elodie pulls back just in time and notices the second message on the wall, which she says is not safe, signed with the word V.
09:55The body is nearby, which means that Victoria did not manage to escape and died there.
09:59The dragon prepares his fire just to stop when he hears a male voice calling Elodie's name.
10:04As the dragon flies away to investigate, it turns out that Lord Bayford came with two knights and a guide to look for Elodie.
10:10They go down to the cave with a knife and begin to search the area, so Elodie uses the sound of their voices to find a way back.
10:17When they take the new tunnel, she is shocked when she finds a nest with three dead baby dragons and remembers Victoria's words,
10:23which helps her realize that Elodie lied, the dragon was not the last of its kind and was not the first to attack.
10:28In the flashback, it turns out that the king went to the castle just to kill all the babies, so the dragon's attack was actually sacred.
10:34She killed all the knights as seen at the beginning, but when the king came, the dragon told him that death was too easy and that he should suffer in the same way as she did.
10:43Since then, the royal family has fed the dragon with three women whose blood has been mixed to show them as royal daughters.
10:49After that, Elodie finds her father and his people, but does not show up yet for security.
10:54The dragon comes and grabs the knight, taking him by the ice before he lets him down from a great height.
11:00The knight bounces off the rocks and falls to the ground, immediately dying.
11:03As the guide runs to hide, the dragon grabs the second knight and knocks him under his hat before he questions Bayford.
11:10He explains that he is here to save his daughter and tries to attack with his sword, but the dragon grabs him by the tail and disarms him before he lets him down.
11:17While Elodie is waiting for the right moment, the dragon tells Bayford to call his daughter.
11:22Bayford decides to offer him a sincere talk about how he felt sorry for her and admits that he made a terrible mistake,
11:27then he urges Elodie not to come out, which causes the dragon to push Bayford down and awaken him right in the heart with his dagger.
11:34Elodie can not help but not make a sound while crying and the dragon starts looking for her,
11:38but luckily at that moment the guard also makes a sound and the dragon follows him, thinking it's Elodie.
11:43While the dragon is leaving, Elodie gets away from her father and kisses him on the forehead before he dies.
11:48Then he uses the dagger he left to start climbing out of the crevice.
11:52In the meantime, the dragon finds the guide and knocks him to death before he comes for Elodie,
11:56who manages to climb fast enough to avoid the flames that now cover the entrance.
12:00Elodie immediately sits on her father's horse, but only a few more moments before he jumps off it to hide under a rock,
12:07because the horse, continuing the dragon, is cheated and continues to follow him to burn him to death.
12:12Then the dragon fires at the clouds, causing a terrible storm as a sign that the agreement is broken.
12:18In the yard, Isabelle notices this and immediately sends her knights to disguise.
12:22Lady Bayford tries to stop her, but is overwhelmed by the process.
12:26Moments later, when the fire ceases, Elodie comes out of the crevice and enters Lady Bayford,
12:31who came all the way there on a horse while still bleeding.
12:34When Elodie hears what happened, she promises to save her sister and takes the horse to return to the mountain.
12:40In the meantime, Florian takes her to the bridge, but Henry refuses to perform the ritual with the child.
12:45Isabelle ignores him and uses her blood instead of him, cutting Florian's hand to mix the blood before throwing it into the abyss.
12:51By the time Elodie gets to the bridge, everyone has already left and the unconscious Florian is captured by the dragon,
12:56who still doesn't kill her because he wants to lure Elodie to come for his sister.
13:00Desperate, Elodie goes back to the tavern with the lock and uses her previous experience to quickly follow the same path.
13:06After double-checking the map to find the dragon's needle, Elodie arms herself with her father's sword and prepares the lock for the dragon.
13:13The lock consists of several shields and a shield that burns under a small flame.
13:18Elodie moves away, and when the shield burns out, the shield falls, causing the dragon to fly out of its lair to look for the source of the storm.
13:24This allows Elodie to sneak into the lair and wake up Florian, who slowly walks because he is injured on his leg.
13:29At that moment, the dragon opens the lock and returns to the lair, so Florian hides while Elodie waits with the sword in her hand.
13:35She tries to explain that everyone was deceived by the queen, but the dragon does not believe it and tries to start a fire.
13:41Elodie stabs the sword in the mouth to direct the attack, but it still falls from the edge of the lair, getting burns on her arms and shoulder in the process.
13:48As the dragon pulls out the sword, Elodie falls into the lake and comes out of it just in time for Florian to throw the second sword at her.
13:54Surprised, the dragon jumps on her and holds her while she stabs her with her dagger.
13:58Before she manages to kill her, Elodie pulls out a dagger and stabs the dragon in the eye, causing the dragon to throw it far away.
14:04Then Elodie grabs her sword again and runs towards the dragon, who is hard to see with one eye.
14:09She manages to stab the beast in the chest, but it does not cause much damage and the dragon grabs her again.
14:14Elodie then stabs the dragon in the hat, causing her to let go again.
14:18As the dragon approaches closer, Elodie notices that the dust has been repelled from the cursed stalagmite, giving her an idea.
14:24Elodie stands in front of the stalagmite and tells the dragon to burn it, so the dragon starts his fire.
14:29However, Elodie at the last moment moves away and the fire is repelled from the stalagmite, causing it to fall on the dragon and finally destroy it.
14:36After that, Elodie shows the dragon a dagger in her hand to prove that the beast killed an innocent girl, not a royal one.
14:42The dragon begs her to finish it, and Elodie, letting go of the sword, refuses to continue this circle of hatred.
14:47Then she grabs a bunch of guns and puts them on the dragon's body to completely recover.
14:51Meanwhile, another wedding is celebrated in the palace to deceive the third girl of this generation.
14:57Surprised, the sheep is dragged from the altar and Elodie enters, telling the young bride to take her family and run away.
15:03Then Elodie tells the locals that they can also run away if they want, but only the servants take her seriously and leave.
15:10At that moment, the dragon appears, sets fire to everything present, killing and deceiving everyone in the royal line to finally finish it all.
15:17While everyone panics, Henry closes his eyes and accepts the punishment because he knows he deserves it.
15:22The palace is soon destroyed, but Elodie leaves with her head held high.
15:26A few days later, Elodie Florea and the recovered Lady Beford are preparing to set out on a ship full of gold and goods for their people.
15:33They agree to rule their country together, and Elodie even starts calling Beford her mother instead of her stepmother.
15:40During the journey, the dragon flies nearby and shares a move of mutual respect with Elodie.
