the hand that wields it?

The strength of your body...

...the desire in your heart.

I gave you this.

Such a waste.

Contemplate this on the Tree of Woe.

Crucify him.

He said you were a wizard.

Do the gods owe you any favors?

There are dangers, but I see you care

little for those.

-The spirits here ask a heavy toll.

-Then I will pay them.

Drink.

Sometime soon, perhaps tonight,

they'll try to take him.

-And if they succeed-

-If they succeed, you'll follow.

No!

Stop!

They're gone!

They're gone!

All the gods, they cannot sever us.

If I were dead and you still fighting

for life, I'd come back...

...back from the pit of hell

to fight at your side.

The old man says the

Mountain of Power is hollow.

Thulsa Doom is in the mountain.

What else does he say?

That in the back of the mountain,

there's a gorge.

Many caves. A thief could get in

there, steal the princess...

...and be off before she's missed.

Good thieves could do that,

but not vengeful ones.

Only the girl.

We kill Thulsa Doom another day.

Agreed?

Conan?

So this is paradise!

Princess.

Get them!

Come on!

You.

Help him.

The infidel defilers...

...shall all drown in lakes of blood.

Now they will know why they

are afraid of the dark.

Now they will learn

why they fear the night.

Seek.

The wizard.

I told him I would pay the gods.

Hold me.

Kiss me.

Kiss me.

Let me breathe my last breath

into your mouth.

I'm so cold.

So cold...

Keep me...

...warm.

Keep...

...me...

Fire won't burn up there.

No fire at all.

Why do you cry?

He is Conan, Cimmerian.

He won't cry.

So, I cry for him.

He will kill you.

He has seen your fires.

He will come for me,

and when he does, he will kill you.

I remember days like this when my

father took me to the forest...

...and we ate wild blueberries.

More than 20 years ago.

I was just a boy of four or five.

The leaves were so dark and green then.

The grass smelled sweet

with the spring wind.

Almost 20 years of pitiless combat.

No rest, no sleep like other men.

And yet the spring wind

blows, Subotai.

Have you ever felt such a wind?

They blow where I live too.

In the north of every man's heart.

It's never too late, Subotai.

No.

It would only lead me back here

another day.

In even worse company.

For us, there is no spring.

Just the wind that smells fresh

before the storm.

Where did you get this stuff?

The dead.

The gods are pleased with you.

They will watch the battle.

-Are they going to help?

-No.

Then tell them to stay out of the way.

Crom...

...I have never prayed to you before.

I have no tongue for it.

No one, not even you, will remember

if we were good men or bad.

Why we fought or why we died.

Robert E. Howard

Robert Ervin Howard (January 22, 1906 – June 11, 1936) was an American author who wrote pulp fiction in a diverse range of genres. He is well known for his character Conan the Barbarian and is regarded as the father of the sword and sorcery subgenre. Howard was born and raised in Texas. He spent most of his life in the town of Cross Plains, with some time spent in nearby Brownwood. A bookish and intellectual child, he was also a fan of boxing and spent some time in his late teens bodybuilding, eventually taking up amateur boxing. From the age of nine he dreamed of becoming a writer of adventure fiction but did not have real success until he was 23. Thereafter, until his death by suicide at age 30, Howard's writings were published in a wide selection of magazines, journals, and newspapers, and he became proficient in several subgenres. His greatest success occurred after his death. Although a Conan novel was nearly published in 1934, Howard's stories were never collected during his lifetime. The main outlet for his stories was Weird Tales, where Howard created Conan the Barbarian. With Conan and his other heroes, Howard helped fashion the genre now known as sword and sorcery, spawning many imitators and giving him a large influence in the fantasy field. Howard remains a highly read author, with his best works still reprinted. Howard’s suicide and the circumstances surrounding it have led to speculation about his mental health. His mother had been ill with tuberculosis his entire life, and upon learning she had entered a coma from which she was not expected to wake, he walked out to his car and shot himself in the head. more…
