0:00:09.34 - 0:00:10.88Ba-bum.
0:00:12.26 - 0:00:13.26[croaks]
0:00:14.60 - 0:00:15.89[panting]
0:00:17.02 - 0:00:20.02[Rayla] Previously on The Dragon Prince...
0:00:21.02 - 0:00:24.82But, Rayla, you need to know.
The Dragon Queen is dying.
0:00:24.90 - 0:00:27.86We have to get to her. It's the only way.
0:00:27.94 - 0:00:30.16[Ethari] I'll send a message
to the Dragon Queen.
0:00:30.24 - 0:00:33.03If she knows her little one still lives,
perhaps she'll hold on.
0:00:34.45 - 0:00:37.49Ethari, can I ever come home again?
0:00:45.46 - 0:00:48.80Xadia has attacked the human kingdoms.
All of us.
0:00:48.88 - 0:00:50.67There must be a proportionate response.
0:00:50.76 - 0:00:51.84War.
0:00:51.93 - 0:00:56.22What? No. The people of the human kingdoms
and Xadia want peace.
0:01:15.24 - 0:01:18.58High Mage, I've brought someone
who wishes to speak with you.
0:01:22.92 - 0:01:24.92[theme music playing]
0:01:40.18 - 0:01:41.52[roaring]
0:01:58.37 - 0:02:00.37[shadowhawk screeching]
0:02:12.76 - 0:02:13.76[squawks]
0:02:25.81 - 0:02:26.98[grunts]
0:02:28.52 - 0:02:30.19[screeching]
0:02:51.50 - 0:02:52.63Hmm.
0:03:04.43 - 0:03:06.19[Callum exclaiming]
0:03:08.81 - 0:03:12.65[yelping] I'm fine. I'm fine.
This is fine.
0:03:20.91 - 0:03:25.04So, um, yesterday must have been
a hard day for you.
0:03:25.83 - 0:03:27.04Not really.
0:03:27.12 - 0:03:30.92Back when I was a kid, my family used to
do this thing called "big feelings time."
0:03:31.00 - 0:03:34.17You close your eyes, and ask yourself
if you have any big feelings.
0:03:34.25 - 0:03:35.26Then you say them out loud,
0:03:35.34 - 0:03:37.13and the other person says
they hear your feelings,
0:03:37.22 - 0:03:38.34and it makes you feel good.
0:03:39.30 - 0:03:41.60Humans are so weird.
0:03:43.01 - 0:03:44.60[growls]
0:03:44.68 - 0:03:46.18[Callum exclaims]
0:03:48.10 - 0:03:50.56I'm just saying,
you've been through a lot lately.
0:03:51.02 - 0:03:53.65It would be understandable
if you had some...
0:03:53.73 - 0:03:55.32Leave me alone.
0:03:55.40 - 0:03:57.15...big, big feelings.
0:03:58.15 - 0:04:01.32If you don't stop pestering me
about this right now,
0:04:01.41 - 0:04:04.49I'm going to give you a big feeling
on the side of your head.
0:04:08.33 - 0:04:10.25[horse neighing]
0:04:17.09 - 0:04:19.09[footsteps approaching]
0:04:19.68 - 0:04:23.22Prince Kasef of Neolandia
requests an audience.
0:04:32.31 - 0:04:34.31I'm here to deliver an ultimatum.
0:04:36.23 - 0:04:39.82It means I'm forcing you to make
a final decision.
0:04:39.90 - 0:04:41.95I know what an ultimatum is.
0:04:44.66 - 0:04:47.12Does this thing have more pieces?
0:04:52.21 - 0:04:55.17Katolis and Neolandia were not
the only kingdoms attacked.
0:04:55.88 - 0:04:58.88The King of Del Bar
and Queen of Evenere were slain.
0:04:58.97 - 0:05:02.18Their people are angry and want justice.
0:05:02.93 - 0:05:05.01They are ready to wage war on Xadia.
0:05:05.60 - 0:05:08.43-Their armies have arrived in Katolis.
-[advisors gasp]
0:05:08.52 - 0:05:10.98You dare violate our borders!
0:05:11.56 - 0:05:12.52We do.
0:05:13.35 - 0:05:15.27Here is your ultimatum.
0:05:15.86 - 0:05:19.57If you will not stand with us,
then you stand in our way.
0:05:20.86 - 0:05:26.37King Ezran, we can show Xadia the strength
and righteousness of the human kingdoms.
0:05:26.45 - 0:05:28.33Four armies, joined as one!
0:05:28.41 - 0:05:33.37Enough! I've already told you.
Katolis will not wage war on Xadia.
0:05:34.42 - 0:05:39.25Then tomorrow at dawn,
three armies will wage war on Katolis.
0:06:01.78 - 0:06:04.45[gasps] What are you doing?
0:06:04.53 - 0:06:07.57Preparing you for greatness.
0:06:08.24 - 0:06:10.20Now, be still.
0:06:13.41 - 0:06:15.42[Viren groaning]
0:06:18.04 - 0:06:19.30[shuddering]
0:06:39.77 - 0:06:41.32[mount growling]
0:06:42.44 - 0:06:43.32Someone's coming.
0:06:52.70 - 0:06:53.87[Zym chirps]
0:06:55.16 - 0:06:56.54[Zym whimpers]
0:07:03.17 - 0:07:07.80Greetings, travelers.
My name is Naimi-Selari-Nykantia.
0:07:07.88 - 0:07:09.80But they call me "Nyx."
0:07:10.39 - 0:07:14.06Hi, Nyx. My name's Rayla.
They call me "Rayla."
0:07:14.14 - 0:07:17.69And I'm in a bad mood.
Either you fly away now,
0:07:17.77 - 0:07:21.31or I'm going to use these blades
to do something that's gonna cheer me up.
0:07:21.40 - 0:07:25.65Ah, I should have guessed.
You're the banished Moonshadow elf.
0:07:25.74 - 0:07:28.11[Rayla] What? What are you talking about?
0:07:28.20 - 0:07:31.03[Nyx] I am an emissary
of the Dragon Queen.
0:07:31.12 - 0:07:34.29She received your message,
and she sent me to help you.
0:07:34.37 - 0:07:36.25I am at your service.
0:07:39.33 - 0:07:41.42And you must be...
0:07:43.21 - 0:07:45.63[in thick accent] I'm an Earthblood elf.
Oi!
0:07:46.88 - 0:07:51.22Hmm. Message said you'd be
traveling with a human companion.
0:07:51.30 - 0:07:53.06[in thick accent] Oh, does it, now?
0:07:58.35 - 0:08:01.19[in normal voice] That was me all along!
I was the human.
0:08:01.27 - 0:08:02.19[Zym chirps]
0:08:04.57 - 0:08:09.99And there he is, the dragon of the hour.
Oh, and he has his mother's eyes.
0:08:10.95 - 0:08:15.54I have been authorized by the Dragon Queen
to fly him directly home.
0:08:15.62 - 0:08:19.21-[Rayla] That's not going to happen.
-[Zym chitters]
0:08:20.08 - 0:08:22.29We're doing just fine on our own, Nyx.
0:08:24.75 - 0:08:28.93I can get the baby dragon home fast,
and that's what matters most.
0:08:29.51 - 0:08:31.51We're not letting you take Zym.
0:08:31.59 - 0:08:34.85Whoa! Okay, okay, understood.
0:08:35.39 - 0:08:38.56Well, how about this?
I can give you all a ride.
0:08:38.64 - 0:08:40.73Not interested.
0:08:40.81 - 0:08:45.19Are you sure? How do you plan
to cross the Midnight Desert?
0:08:45.77 - 0:08:49.70Do we look stupid? We're not crossing
through the Midnight Desert.
0:08:49.78 - 0:08:50.90We're going around it.
0:08:50.99 - 0:08:54.24The Dragon Queen is dying,
and you would waste a week,
0:08:54.33 - 0:08:57.58when I can take you straight across
in two days?
0:08:59.83 - 0:09:01.04How?
0:09:02.08 - 0:09:03.17Follow me.
0:09:06.21 - 0:09:07.46[Zym chirps]
0:09:18.93 - 0:09:24.11King Ezran, Kasef's threat is terrible,
but we can win.
0:09:24.69 - 0:09:25.69What do you mean?
0:09:25.77 - 0:09:28.48Your Aunt Amaya,
and your mother before her,
0:09:28.57 - 0:09:30.78saw to it that our army
was the best trained
0:09:30.86 - 0:09:33.32and most disciplined force
in the kingdoms.
0:09:33.95 - 0:09:37.58The coming battle won't be easy,
but we will triumph.
0:09:39.16 - 0:09:40.37[Bait croaks]
0:09:40.45 - 0:09:41.75But at what cost?
0:09:42.79 - 0:09:46.17The necessary cost. Many lives.
0:09:46.84 - 0:09:50.67-How many?
-No one can say for sure.
0:09:50.76 - 0:09:53.43-[angrily] How many?
-I don't know.
0:09:53.51 - 0:09:55.05Give me an answer, a number.
0:09:55.14 - 0:09:58.31Thousands. Probably tens of thousands.
0:10:01.23 - 0:10:03.81-That's no triumph.
-[Bait groans]
0:10:07.73 - 0:10:11.44[Nyx] The Midnight Desert is hot,
haunted, and horrifying.
0:10:11.53 - 0:10:13.86The black sand soaks up the sun,
0:10:13.95 - 0:10:17.33so in the daytime it's hotter
than any desert known to elf.
0:10:17.91 - 0:10:20.29And the night is worse.
0:10:21.37 - 0:10:23.87That's the haunted and horrifying part?
0:10:23.96 - 0:10:26.75It's infested with soulfang serpents.
0:10:26.83 - 0:10:31.63They suck the spirit out of their victims,
turning them into barely-living husks.
0:10:32.30 - 0:10:33.59[Zym whimpers]
0:10:34.13 - 0:10:36.72But we're going to be above all that.
Literally.
0:10:37.97 - 0:10:39.55There she is.
0:10:40.72 - 0:10:42.64That's my ride. An ambler.
0:10:45.89 - 0:10:47.19[Callum exclaims]
0:10:59.12 - 0:11:03.50[Nyx] She'll get us to the central oasis
by sundown, and we'll spend the night.
0:11:04.75 - 0:11:07.08Then, tomorrow,
we come out the other side,
0:11:07.17 - 0:11:09.88-and the baby dragon's almost home.
-[Zym chitters]
0:11:12.09 - 0:11:15.30-What do you think?
-The Dragon Queen is dying.
0:11:15.38 - 0:11:16.93And this is going to save us a week.
0:11:22.31 - 0:11:24.68[Nyx] Okay, let's ride.
0:11:57.34 - 0:11:58.47[Bait croaks]
0:12:01.72 - 0:12:04.01-Thanks, Bait. That helps.
-[Bait grunts]
0:12:06.98 - 0:12:10.10Each one of these pieces is 500 people.
0:12:11.23 - 0:12:14.98Five hundred men and women.
Some are moms and dads,
0:12:15.90 - 0:12:21.12and have kids waiting for them at home.
All of these are sons and daughters.
0:12:21.20 - 0:12:22.99Sisters, brothers, friends.
0:12:23.08 - 0:12:26.00-They're real people, Bait.
-[croaks]
0:12:27.54 - 0:12:29.25And after the battle...
0:12:32.96 - 0:12:34.88How can I let this happen?
0:12:34.96 - 0:12:36.63-[door opening]
-[Bait groans]
0:12:36.71 - 0:12:38.63[footsteps approaching]
0:12:40.18 - 0:12:42.26King Ezran, forgive me.
0:12:43.01 - 0:12:46.06There may be a way
to prevent this bloodshed.
0:12:46.14 - 0:12:48.23You can save these lives.
0:13:00.07 - 0:13:02.66-[adoraburrs squeaking]
-[Zym chirps]
0:13:17.09 - 0:13:18.25-What?
-Nothing.
0:13:18.34 - 0:13:20.26I was just wondering
what you're thinking about.
0:13:20.34 - 0:13:23.76I'm fine, Callum. Like I already told you.
0:13:25.97 - 0:13:26.89[exclaims]
0:13:27.72 - 0:13:29.23[ambler grunts]
0:13:30.06 - 0:13:34.44-[ambler groans]
-[Nyx] Ugh, great. Just great.
0:13:36.86 - 0:13:39.78-[Callum] What happened?
-[Nyx] Her foot's stuck in a hole.
0:13:39.86 - 0:13:43.66The soulfangs burrow under the ground
during the day and make all these tunnels,
0:13:43.74 - 0:13:46.49and if too many are in one place,
the ground gives way.
0:13:47.28 - 0:13:49.58I just need to go down
and get her foot out.
0:13:49.66 - 0:13:51.54Don't touch my stuff.
0:14:01.97 - 0:14:05.72What is it? Why you staring at that thing?
0:14:12.23 - 0:14:13.89[ambler grunts]
0:14:15.77 - 0:14:18.52Something's so strangely familiar...
0:14:20.19 - 0:14:21.36Boomerang?
0:14:21.44 - 0:14:22.28[exclaims]
0:14:25.24 - 0:14:26.37[Nyx] Let's move.
0:14:43.67 - 0:14:45.97[baker humming]
0:14:49.26 - 0:14:51.93-[Ezran] Um, excuse me?
-Uh...
0:14:52.56 - 0:14:55.73King Ezran? Is that you?
0:14:57.77 - 0:15:00.77-[Ezran] We're down here.
-[Bait croaks]
0:15:01.40 - 0:15:06.36Oh! Your Majesty.
I'm so sorry, I had the grate fixed.
0:15:06.45 - 0:15:10.08Uh... Oh, let me just...
I'll break it for you. Stand back.
0:15:11.37 - 0:15:13.37[grunting]
0:15:13.45 - 0:15:14.75[exclaims]
0:15:17.42 - 0:15:20.75[chuckles] Uh...
I'll be sure to leave it broken.
0:15:21.34 - 0:15:23.63Would you like a jelly tart?
0:15:24.26 - 0:15:27.47That's not why I'm here, but, yes, always.
0:15:33.93 - 0:15:34.77[Bait grunts]
0:15:34.85 - 0:15:38.81I need to ask you a favor.
Something very important.
0:15:40.81 - 0:15:44.74If anything happens...
I mean, something might happen.
0:15:45.40 - 0:15:48.11-And I need you to take care of Bait.
-[Bait croaks]
0:15:50.41 - 0:15:54.45I am honored and... humbled.
0:16:00.63 - 0:16:02.04You understand what he needs?
0:16:02.67 - 0:16:06.09An infinite supply of jelly tarts, and...
0:16:06.76 - 0:16:08.59understanding and love?
0:16:08.68 - 0:16:11.10Yes. Mainly the tarts.
0:16:11.18 - 0:16:12.64[croaks loudly]
0:16:14.72 - 0:16:15.93Thank you.
0:16:21.06 - 0:16:21.90[Bait groans]
0:16:32.07 - 0:16:33.49[whimpers]
0:16:42.46 - 0:16:47.13Now, I want you to know, I have always
seen you as a kindred spirit.
0:16:48.05 - 0:16:48.88[Bait grunts]
0:16:53.80 - 0:16:55.22[Nyx] There's the oasis.
0:16:55.93 - 0:16:59.68It's not much, but it's a safe haven
from soulfangs and the husks.
0:16:59.77 - 0:17:01.19How does it keep them out?
0:17:01.27 - 0:17:05.02[Nyx] It's surrounded by obelisks
that create a circle of protection.
0:17:05.11 - 0:17:07.40It's a magical barrier around the oasis.
0:17:08.07 - 0:17:10.40Anyway, here's the Wonderwall.
0:17:35.01 - 0:17:36.18[sighs]
0:17:39.31 - 0:17:40.81Looks cozy enough.
0:17:41.60 - 0:17:42.98[both gasp]
0:17:43.06 - 0:17:45.69It gets really cold here at night,
so we'll need these.
0:17:46.32 - 0:17:50.74I wasn't sure if you guys
needed two blankets or just one...
0:17:51.49 - 0:17:54.95[exclaims] Two. Yeah, two.
'Cause if there was just one, then...
0:17:55.03 - 0:17:57.03-[Rayla] Two.
-Two. Two.
0:17:57.74 - 0:17:58.79Suit yourselves.
0:17:59.70 - 0:18:00.70[chuckles nervously]
0:18:02.66 - 0:18:04.67[ambler grunts]
0:18:20.68 - 0:18:21.89[Aaravos] It is ready.
0:18:26.52 - 0:18:27.65Open your eye.
0:18:39.24 - 0:18:40.58You can hear me.
0:18:44.08 - 0:18:45.96And now you can see me.
0:18:47.04 - 0:18:48.75And I can better serve you.
0:18:50.80 - 0:18:51.80[exclaims]
0:18:59.43 - 0:19:01.43[snoring]
0:19:02.06 - 0:19:04.06[Rayla sniffling]
0:19:06.73 - 0:19:09.06Rayla? Did you say something?
0:19:09.15 - 0:19:11.28-[sobbing]
-You okay?
0:19:12.53 - 0:19:15.40-Rayla, it's okay.
-Get away from me!
0:19:23.12 - 0:19:27.67Ezran, you don't need to do this.
There must be another way.
0:19:28.75 - 0:19:31.17Don't worry, Corvus. I'll be okay.
0:19:31.25 - 0:19:35.30King Ezran, are you sure?
There will be no going back.
0:19:36.13 - 0:19:39.30I know what's right.
I know what I have to do.
0:19:39.39 - 0:19:40.68[door opens]
0:19:45.27 - 0:19:48.81-It's agreed. Everything you asked for.
-The battle?
0:19:48.90 - 0:19:52.57It's been called off.
There will be no attack at dawn.
0:19:53.23 - 0:19:56.28And what about the people
who no longer wish to fight at all?
0:19:57.40 - 0:19:59.57They will be allowed
to lay down their arms,
0:19:59.66 - 0:20:04.45and return to their families,
in peace and safety, as you insisted.
0:20:15.80 - 0:20:16.88[sighs]
0:20:18.01 - 0:20:19.01It's done.
0:20:22.47 - 0:20:23.31Take him.
0:21:33.75 - 0:21:36.59I'm so sorry it's come to this.
0:21:37.55 - 0:21:38.63No, you're not.
0:21:40.38 - 0:21:42.55No... I'm not.
0:21:56.44 - 0:21:57.65[cell door slams]
0:22:01.61 - 0:22:06.20[Rayla] Please leave me alone.
I don't want you to see me like this.
0:22:06.87 - 0:22:09.49I don't care if you're crying.
I'm here with you.
0:22:10.75 - 0:22:11.75I'm a mess.
0:22:11.83 - 0:22:14.83-No, you're not. It's okay.
-I've lost everything.
0:22:14.92 - 0:22:19.80My parents, the people who cared about me,
my home.
0:22:19.88 - 0:22:21.63There's nowhere I belong now.
0:22:21.71 - 0:22:23.30[Callum] That's not true, Rayla.
0:22:23.38 - 0:22:25.18You're going through a hard time,
that's all.
0:22:25.26 - 0:22:29.43That's not all!
It's me, and it's all my fault.
0:22:29.51 - 0:22:32.48I failed them. I let them all down.
0:22:33.56 - 0:22:35.69They're right to reject me.
0:22:38.15 - 0:22:41.32-I'm not good enough, and I never will be.
-Shut up.
0:22:42.03 - 0:22:42.90Wait, what?
0:22:42.99 - 0:22:46.62Just shut up, you're talking crazy.
Just listen to me.
0:22:46.70 - 0:22:49.62You're too good
to feel this bad about yourself.
0:22:49.70 - 0:22:52.33I know that, and you should know that.
0:22:52.91 - 0:22:55.54You have true courage and a big heart.
0:22:56.25 - 0:22:58.59I've seen you get knocked down
so many times before,
0:22:58.67 - 0:23:01.30and every single time, you get up again.
0:23:02.09 - 0:23:03.80That's real strength.
0:23:03.88 - 0:23:07.76And... and you're ten times funnier
than any human I know.
0:23:07.84 - 0:23:09.05-[laughs]
-See?
0:23:09.14 - 0:23:14.48See, you know you're amazing.
You're smart, and fast, and beautiful.
0:23:16.56 - 0:23:18.77Rayla, you're the most amazing person
I've ever met.
0:23:27.78 - 0:23:30.16That's not what I was expecting.
0:23:30.24 - 0:23:34.25You were saying all those things,
so I thought...
0:23:34.33 - 0:23:37.92No, I mean, I wasn't saying those things
so you would...
0:23:39.88 - 0:23:40.92[gasps]
0:23:41.59 - 0:23:45.88We will never speak of this again.
Do you understand?
0:23:45.97 - 0:23:47.47Of course. Of course, yeah.
Of course I do.
0:23:47.55 - 0:23:52.81No, I mean never. I will bind myself
to killing you if you even mention--
0:23:52.89 - 0:23:55.27Why would I? [scoffs]
0:23:55.35 - 0:23:56.81No. [chuckles nervously]
0:23:56.89 - 0:24:00.98-We walk away, and this never happened.
-Perfect.
0:24:06.74 - 0:24:09.20-[gasps] Oh, no!
-[adoraburrs squeaking]
0:24:13.33 - 0:24:14.45Where's Zym?
