I am the lord of darkness.
I require the solace
of the shadows...
and the dark of the night.
Sunshine is my destroyer.
All this shall change.
Tonight, the sun sets forever.
another dawn...
Enter!
Ah, Blix.
Come closer.
You summoned me, lordship?
Are you not the most loathsome
of my goblins?
Truly, master.
And is your heart black
and full of hate?
Black as midnight,
black as pitch,
blacker than
the foulest witch.
That is why
I have called you here.
Since I must remain in darkness,
you shall be my eyes and ears.
You do me
great honor, lord.
Something troubles me.
I feel a presence
in the forest,
a force I had mercifully
almost forgotten.
Must be dread, indeed,
to trouble you, lordship.
Looking upon
these frail creatures,
they could contain such power.
One could rule
the universe with it.
You must find them for me
and destroy them!
What do they look like, lord?
Fool! Let this
serve to remind you.
They are each crowned
with a single horn...
reaching straight
to heaven.
I get the point, lord.
Bring the horns to me.
You will be well rewarded.
You shall be a prince
here in my realm.
A rare privilege, master.
Where shall I look, sire?
There is only one lure
for such disgusting goodness,
one bait that never fails.
What be this bait?
Please, you teach me.
Innocence. Innocence.
Come, white flowers
Weave us a carpet
Spreading oak
Leaves and branches
whisper our love song
When I look
in my true love's eyes
Young as any spring
His eyes almost sing
To me
Blooming fairies!
Lily!
God bless, Your Highness.
A royal visit's
always a pleasure.
Have another biscuit.
Nell...
I have no time to stay
for a visit today.
Oh, you've got
a sweetheart waiting?
No, I don't. Surely, your
father forbids such folly.
What my father doesn't know
won't trouble him.
Oh, the willful heart
invites despair,
like blind men creeping
in a dragon's lair.
Not a country proverb
nor king's command...
could keep me
from the woods today.
Lily. Princess Lily.
I look on you as a daughter.
If you'll pardon my saying it,
it's time you started behaving
like the princess you are.
You should be out looking for a
handsome prince on a white charger,
not visiting
poor folk like us.
No. Don't you know
I love coming here?
This place holds
more magic for me...
than any palace
in the world.
You live a very rich
life, Nell.
I don't know of a prince
who could carve wood like this.
You're very sweet, Lily.
Magic is a wonderful thing.
You'll find your own magic
one day.
I'm sure you will.
I have no time for this.
I'm going.
Oh, and you look out for
spriggen and banshee, my girl.
These woods
be thick with them.
Stay clear of toadstool
rings and willow trees...
and old oaks.
Jack!
Where are you?
Jack!
Jack! Jack!
Jack?
Jack?
Jack, answer me.
Jack! Jack!
Jack.
Jack, please. Please, if you're
here, say something to me, please.
Jack, you scared
the life out of me!
You're so clever.
Oh, here.
Whoops. Look inside.
See what you can find.
That's something to eat.
I made that for you myself.
Well, I-I took it from Nell.
Do you like it? Is it sweet?
I know someone sweeter.
May be innocent,
may be sweet...
ain't half as nice
as rotting meat.
Good. Very good.
Just right.
Jack, now teach me rabbit
like you promised.
Rabbit?
It's much harder than finch. Let me try.
I'm a good student, and my
father says I'm brilliant.
See how brilliant I am?
Let me dazzle you
with my wisdom.
It's much more than wisdom
that dazzles me, Lily.
Jack, teach me rabbit.
Not today.
Why not?
Because...
there's something really special
that I've been promising to show you.
- Jack, do you mean it?
- Only if it pleases you, Lily.
Oh, it pleases me
more than anything.
We must go now...
because they'll only be here
for a short while.
Don't you trust me?
I trust you, Lily.
Oh, Jack.
Look! Ugly
one-horned mules.
Nothing is more magical.
As long as they roam
the earth,
evil can never harm
the pure of heart.
Do you speak
their language?
They express
only love and laughter.
Dark thoughts
are unknown to them.
No! No.
Please.
Lily, no, please!
Come dance, sparrow
Sing me good morning
Rise up, sun
Like the arch of the sky
You'll spook the beast
and spoil the trap.
Living river
Turn the light to diamonds
When I look
in my true love's eyes
Like a child feels
Watching a rainbow
Like a bird feels
The first time it flies
I feel magic
Stirring within me
When I look
in my true love's eyes
Young as any spring
His eyes almost seem
This shot be
just as sweet as pie.
Jack? Jack?
Jack!
It was lovely...
like a dream.
What you did is forbidden.
Who says so?
It is known, Lily.
These are sacred animals.
- I don't care.
- You risk your immortal soul talking like that.
Where's the harm in that?
It was magic.
Thank you.
Let me sing to you.
In the bumps and the hollows
The sunlight and shadows
He kissed her as those
Bluebells blow
As his lips met her breath
He went sweetly to death
At the roots
of the bluebells
Is where he is laid
Are you afraid
to kiss me, Jack?
I'm afraid
you'll break my heart.
Then still your heart.
You're dear to me
