[Captain yelling]
Lower away!
[Man #1] lowering!
Easy as it goes, lads!
[Man #2]
Boats down, captain.
[Captain] very good, sir.
Shore party,
stand by to board!
[Man #1]
Shore party ready.
[Captain]
Over the side then.
There you go, men.
[Man #1]
You heard the captain, lads.
Cast off!
[Man narrating]
Lo you now
of days long past,
of a time when
the world was young,
when sorcery thrived
and wild adventure
was forever in the offing.
And of this epoch,
little is known,
save that which is veiled
in the mists of legendry.
[Thunderclap]
that our tale begins...
on tomb island,
a rocky crag perched...
at the far edge
of the world.
[Wind howling]
We're not to be disturbed.
Wait for us
at the boats.
Yes, your majesty.
Get on with it, witch!
[Hissing]
[Speaking
in foreign language]
A sword...
[gasps]
[Gasping continues]
[Foreign language]
[Foreign language]
[Screams]
[All screaming]
[Incantation in
foreign language continues]
[Incantation,
screaming continue]
[Wind howling]
Look!
It lives!
[Growling]
Rise.
[Growling]
Who art thou?
Titus cromwell,
king of aragon.
What is wished of me?
We need your help
in conquering ehdan.
It's the richest kingdom
in the world, and i want it.
Why dost thou crave
my services?
Thou art a king...
with an army.
[Cromwell]
Four times i've been defeated
by king richard of ehdan,
but with your help
i will be victorious.
And what wouldst
thou bestow upon me?
[Man] your life is enough.
After all, how can we
be sure a-a toad like you...
even has the power
to aid us?
[Growling]
[Growling continues]
Oh, no, dark lord.
You are my master,
my god!
[Screams]
[Whimpering,
gasping]
As thou can see,
my art is powerful.
I will allow you to live,
as long as you serve me.
Betray me,
and i will joyfully
send you back to rot in hell,
xusia of delos.
Thou shalt have thy kingdom,
and i,
i too shall have
what should be mine.
[Narrator]
was celebrating 20 years
of peace...
and tranquility.
Once a haven
for barbaric plunder,
ehdan had been transformed
into a prospering
civilized nation...
by the wise and strong
king richard.
Richard.
Come, richard.
We mustn't keep
everyone waiting.
What troubles you?
The nightmares.
What did amilius tell
you about them?
He said...
hmm.
What he said was that it's
too much of this kingly life.
[Narrator]
Unbeknownst to them all,
cromwell's armies,
aided by xusia's black sorcery,
had already stormed
across the borders of ehdan,
leaving behind
a wake of ungodly death,
disease and destruction.
King richard is finished.
Half his army lay
rotting before us.
We can now deal with
the good king without
the aid of a sorcerer.
Besides, if we don't kill
xusia now while he's
still weak from his conjuring,
rid of him.
[Xusia]
Cromwell?
Thou has sent for me?
Why, behold our hero.
Get to the point.
I'm weary.
Well, then,
you shall sleep... forever.
[Yelling]
[Yelling continues]
[Thunderclap]
[Narrator]
Even without xusia's sorcery,
cromwell could not be stopped.
Only one army stood
between him... and the city.
[Knock on door]
Tavis! My son.
Bring a leech!
Move!
Father.
No, don't talk.
Wait for the leech.
There is no time.
[Gasping]
The eastern army
has been destroyed.
Destroyed?
Father, it's black...
[thunderclap]
Tavis.
[Gasps]
[Whispers]
Tavis.
[Crying]
Oh!
Go.
Roust duncan.
He will ride with me.
The others i leave
in your charge.
Take them and escape.
A boat awaits you
on the river.
Go now.
Quickly, malia.
Take me to battle, father.
You'll need me.
I do love you
more than life itself.
If i die,
it will fall upon you...
to avenge me.
Do you understand, talon?
I understand.
[Narrator]
And so it came to pass...
that the remnants
of richard's armies met
cromwell's black hordes...
in a final
desperate battle.
Here on the sea cliffs
of elizrah,
the fate of ehdan...
had been decided.
[Man]
Talon.
Talon.
Mogullen.
Mogullen,
where's my father?
The battle is lost,
and we must save the queen.
Cromwell will be
after her next.
Let's finish it.
[Yelling]
Father!
No, talon!
Listen to me.
Avenge your father
another day.
Cromwell will try to stop your
mother's escape on the river.
You must save her.
You hear?
The future of the kingdom
is in your hands.
Now go.
Go!
Go! Go!
To the boat, children.
Henry, come back!
- [Yells]
- [Screams]
Henry!
You bastard!
[Crying]
No!
No.
Oh, no!
- Mama!
- No!
[Crying]
I'll spare your daughter,
if you officially
proclaim me king.
Never!
Pull it out!
[Yells]
Malia, you fool!
No!
[Grunts]
[Groans]
[Groans]
[Yells]
[Yells]
[Grunting]
Find that boy on your lives.
I want him.
I want him.
[Grunts]
[Narrator]
For years the boy
was to be hunted,
but cromwell's assassins
found not a trace.
Talon had simply vanished
into the void.
Years passed,
through the outland kingdoms...
of a fearless adventurer,
a warrior who roamed
trackless deserts,
mighty mountains
and shining seas.
These rumors grew
into legends...
about this man who was
at once a buccaneer,
a slave, a rogue,
a general.
[Man yelling]
