as life itself.

Don't you wish this

was our wedding ring?

If I say yes,

will my wish come true?

I'm a princess.

It's my right to set

a challenge for my suitors.

I will marry...

whoever finds this ring.

Jack!

Lily!

I smell human flesh!

- After you, Pig.

- Oh, no, after you.

Clock. Mortal world

turned to ice.

Here be goblin paradise!

Plenty hospitality here.

Baby!

I simply adore milk-fed meat.

What are you,

some kind of animal?

Ohh.

How did you do that, Blix?

Yeah, tell us how

you do those tricks.

Quite easy, actually.

Goblin omelette.

Very nice, very nice.

Lucky day! Kill

ugly one-horned dead!

You act like you do all. It was

me who shoot the poisoned stinger.

Me! Me! Me!

You only got the shot in

because the princess was there.

Wrong! 'Twas beauty

led the beast to bay.

She was so sweet.

I could eat her brains like jam.

- I could suck her bones-

- Enough!

Better hurry. Dark Lord,

he don't like to wait.

Mmmm.

- Hyah! Hyah! Hyah!

- What have I done?

Four, five, six!

Hurray for Blix!

I'll make it right.

Lily? Lily?

Jack?

Who's there?

Who are you?

Here be forest child

and not know the Gump?

Gump, is it?

Honeythorn Gump

at your service.

I, I must be dreaming.

If life is a dream,

better you dread the waking.

- Jack?

- Stop it!

- That's Oona. She likes you.

- Go away!

Does your blood

run so cold, Jack?

You'll be a gobs

before your time.

How'd you know my name?

How does

a migrating swallow...

know the way south

in winter?

Or a spawning salmon...

find the very source

of his birth...

from the cold, black depth

of the mysterious sea?

I know everything, Jack.

Everything?

Then why is it like this?

Why is there winter now?

I'd be a powerful wizard,

indeed, could I answer.

Suppose you tell me, Jack.

Me?

You know these woods

as well as any elf.

Did you not see

something odd today?

Any strange spirits?

Did nothing untoward happen?

No.

No? No?

Nothing?

Uh, I did take Lily

to see the Unicorns.

You did what?

Silence!

Oh, God, Gump,

she touched him.

Touched it? A mortal

laid hands on a Unicorn?

Jack! Squawk, squawk,

no more talk!

Do you think you can upset the order

of the universe and not pay the price?

But she meant no wrong!

What I did is done,

but I did it for love.

Silence!

Love, you say?

But answer me this riddle,

and all will be forgiven.

And if I cannot?

Why, Jack,

then 'tis your death song

I'll be playing.

Then ask away...

and pray God

my answer pleases you.

What is a bell

that does not ring...

yet its knell

makes the angels sing?

Shhh!

Answer me this...

and all will be forgiven.

Flowers?

Bluebells! To hear them ring

means your life is at an end!
