When Lord Aamon hears
about this,
you'll all be punished.
He knows what I've done
for the Southern Kingdom.
You cannot treat
a Judge of the King
like this.
Silence!
You will have your word
when we reach the castle,
Judge of the King.
No, please stop!
No!
Lord Aamon!
And who is this one?
Lord Aamon...
These guards have
crossed the line.
They've taken me from my home
in Gamor
and have yanked me throughout
the treacherous woods.
They've made a grave mistake.
They do not know
of my allegiance
to the Southern Kingdom
and how I've served you
with all my might.
Did you not know
of his allegiance
to the Southern Kingdom
and how he served me
with all his might?
Who are you?
I'm Vangel of Gamor,
Judge of the King of the South.
I've served Gamor with pride
and vigilance for years.
- I... I... I...
- Hmm.
I didn't know this was
Vangel of Gamor,
Judge of the King of the South.
Lord Aamon,
have I done something
to offend you?
I don't know.
But let's find out.
Aamon!
You're more than what you say,
aren't you, Vangel?
- You've seen it.
- Seen what?
What have I seen?
What are you speaking of?
Take him to the Fires of Mauna,
find out what he knows.
Oh!
I've done nothing wrong
to the South!
Find out what he knows
and then dispose of him.
You... you have the wrong man.
This is just a misunderstanding.
It's nothing I can't clear out.
I just need time!
Please! No!
Lord Aamon, no!
Lord Aamon, you can't do this!
No! No!
Bring in the next one.
Keep it moving!
Get up!
Come on!
Hasten your pace!
Up!
Get up, judge!
The Fires of Mauna await you!
Hey!
That way.
Rest here.
I need water.
What's the matter,
Judge of Gamor?
Never got your hands dirty?
It might surprise you,
I wasn't always a judge.
Really?
Then what were you before?
Manager of your rich father's
mistresses?
- Nah.
- No, no, no.
I was a people watcher.
I observed their habits,
their manners.
You could tell a lot
from someone
just from their expression,
their insecurities,
their desires.
I learned a lot how
about people can be bent
to do what you want
as long as you can expose them.
For example, your father,
he never had a woman
on the side.
Hell no.
My mother
would castrate him immediately.
There you go.
But his father, he did.
What was that?
Oh, your father kept
other women, did he not?
That's why you fell silent
when he made a joke about
rich fathers running around.
The look on your face.
The look on your face.
It's like he dug it all up
from where you tried
to bury it all.
You... you bloody rich prick!
I'll teach you some manners...
Your mother!
She was one of the mistresses,
wasn't she?
You bloody liar!
I'm no liar.
I speak the truth.
The truth about what I see.
After all, I am a judge.
Am I not?
I say we kill him!
I say we kill him now
and tell them
that he died on the way!
Huh?
No!
Get off!
One more time!
My Lord.
The prisoner,
the Judge of Gamor.
Where is he?
We don't know.
Samael.
Find him.
Is this Vangel of Gamor
worth the search?
What if he's
not the prophesied one?
How can we be certain
that the prisoner
is one of the Five?
He's seen the vision
of the North.
Why would the North choose
a wretch like him?
Are you questioning me?
Lord Aamon, forgive me.
My men and I will search for him
high and low.
We will not stop
until he is found.
Bring him back alive.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Easy, easy!
How'd you get your chains off?
Rock over there.
What's your name?
Bandy.
You?
Vangel.
Where were they taking you?
Fires of Mauna.
Me as well!
My whole village was captured.
No reason.
Now what town are you from?
Gamor.
Gamor, huh?
Gamor's no better
than this wretched place.
Judging by your accent
and calloused,
coal-ridden hands,
I'd say you were dragged
from the mining town of Warda.
What are you?
A thief?
A swindler.
That's it, isn't it?
Swindled your way to the top
of that god-forsaken city
of scoundrels.
You know, there's a saying
where I'm from.
"Remain in the pits
or trample others to get out."
There is a reason
they arrested you.
Someone overheard me saying
I was leaving it for the North.
Were you?
Yes.
Serves you right.
Why would you do something
like that?
They say the North is beautiful.
It flows with life,
with wonder.
All I knew my whole life was
mines...
Fairy tales for commoners.
If... if you're so important,
then why are you stuck here
in this awful forest?
There's been a mistake.
And I'm going to clear it up.
Awesome.
I'm going to Aynor
where they know of my reputation
and they'll clear my name.
You're a fool!
With those things on,
you won't make it past
the city gates
before they throw you
into the dungeon.
So how do we get them off?
There a blacksmith
in these parts?
No heat could remove these.
These are crafted by dark power.
Then what do we do?
If we want these off,
we need a light-bearer.
Someone with the power of light.
Light-bearers
have been appearing
in the Northern Kingdom.
People have been experiencing
supernatural things.
It's a sign of the times.
My friend,
these are fairy tales.
Fairy tales or not...
I don't know about you,
but I'm getting tired of these.
If I come with you to the North,
will you get
these bloody things off?
How far is it to Aynor?
Just south of the border.
If we go together,
you have a better chance
of making it.
I killed that guy,
just like that.
I'm a killer.
You didn't kill that guard.
I didn't kill that guard.
I have a bad feeling about this.
Did you notice?
I haven't seen a fox for days!
Back in the woods of Warda
I would see foxes every day.
At least once.
Sometimes twice.
Sometimes three, four,
five in a day.
You can eat fox.
Not recommendable, but you can.
I guess it doesn't matter.
Sometimes three, four,
five in a day.
You can eat fox.
These...
Shackles are getting heavier.
Yeah.
What is that noise?
What?
What's happening?
What is that noise?
Bandy.
Huh?
Vangel.
Vangel.
Vangel.
Vangel.
Vangel.
Oh, oh!
Oh, please.
Vangel!
Oh!
Vangel.
Vangel.
These are getting heavier.
Look at this.
Vangel.
These are getting heavier.
Vangel, Vangel.
Okay, stop.
Vangel.
Found it.
Vangel.
Hello?
Are you lost?
Are you okay?
What's happening to us?
It's the forest.
It has been cursed long time ago
by the Dark Order
to keep the pilgrims escaping
to the North.
I can't feel my hands.
It's okay.
I have a cure.
My family has been living here
for a long time.
Yes.
Come.
I can give you shelter.
I can take care of you.
Come.
Please eat.
Sit down.
Drink this.
It will make you feel better.
What is your name?
I'm Vangel of Gamor.
Bandy of Warda.
Are you lost?
We're going to the North.
If you're heading to the North,
you must walk the path to enter
through the Wicked Gate.
Come with me
if you want to live.
Wait!
What was that?
That woman, she's a witch.
She's one of the many spies
of Aamon.
Those who try to head
to the North
will encounter them
along the way.
Who are you?
I am Elder,
servant of the King of Eos.
There is no one King
over all of Eos.
Maybe you're the delusional one,
Vangel.
We've all heard the legends.
Well,
definitely not from the South.
Oh hell!
You think you can just
figure everyone out.
Can you believe it, Elder?
This man was Judge of Gamor.
I am Judge of Gamor.
Once I get these shackles off,
clear my name in Aynor,
I'll be reinstated.
Judge of Gamor,
there's nothing left here
for you.
And you.
Do you want to see
with your own eyes?
King Apollyon's shadow
is growing.
His army's on the move,
taking over once free lands,
destroying everything
along the way.
What is this?
What does it look like to you?
An army?
King Apollyon's army.
Why would the King of the South
be building an army?
To prepare for the final battle
to end the war with the North,
once and for all.
A war of this size,
it would destroy all of Eos.
If you choose to remain
in the South,
you will serve Apollyon
in his army.
And he's not ready
to lose this battle.
There still is hope.
Let's have camp for the night.
What happened?
How did they get away?
Elder's with them.
Powerful man.
He blinded me with his light.
For years,
you've never failed me.
No.
Never.
I can forgive this one mistake.
Oh!
Yes, please.
But tell me where did they go?
I told you...
I told you...
I told... ow!
Tomorrow, you set off at dawn.
To the bright seas
and rolling hills,
finally.
I always thought
these were just stories.
The Judge of Gamor
finally gets it.
If the South is amassing
an army of this size,
there's got to be a reason.
I don't know what
to believe anymore.
There is so much you were
never told, Vangel.
This war has gone on long enough
that our own history has
been forgotten.
Before the war between the North
and the South,
our world was one,
the Kingdom of Eos.
The land was fruitful,
their king ruled with honor,
and the people loved their King.
There was a man named "Apollyon"
who served under the King.
His curiosity and desire
for more power,
however, led him to the creation
of the dark powers.
He launched an attack
on the king.
But failed and was cast out
of the kingdom.
Soon after,
he gained a following
by attracting and seducing
men and women
to the realm of dark powers.
Apollyon eventually acquired
an army
and began to take over
the territories
from the Kingdom of Eos.
Our world was divided
between the Northern
and the Southern Kingdom,
and the people
of the Southern Kingdom
began to forget one true king.
A prophecy was made
by the Interpreter
of the North.
The Interpreter spoke
of how the Five gifted ones
will be called and gathered,
and their coming
would be a sign of the times.
That the final battle
will begin,
and the North and the South
will be united again.
You...
You are one of the Five, Vangel.
You have been called by the King
to do great
and wonderful things
for his kingdom.
We have searched high and low
in the Southern Kingdom for you
and now we have found you.
No.
You've got the wrong man.
The only journey I'm goin' on is
to get my life back.
And me?
What about me?
You?
You're nobody.
But even nobodies are called
by their king.
This...
is the Record of the Ancients.
Read it.
It reveals the true nature
of our world,
about the light
and the darkness.
So Elder, you shall take us
to the Wicked Gate,
see us through to the North?
No.
I am only a guide.
I can show you the path.
You are the ones
who must walk it.
Where are you going?
What an interesting guy!
Vangel.
Vangel.
It's almost dawn.
Bandy?
Yeah?
The Northern Kingdom
you told me about...
Beautiful land.
Flowing with waters and light.
I've seen it.
You've been telling me
they were fairy tales.
In my dreams, I've seen it.
How was it?
It's unlike anything
I've ever seen.
You're lucky.
All I ever had were stories.
So uh, you're coming with me?
Or you're still heading back
to become Judge of Gamor?
There's nothing left for me
back there.
War is coming.
No one's safe.
Let's go North.
How did you become
Judge of Gamor anyway?
Come on!
You expect me to believe
that you got
to be Judge of Gamor just
because you're good
at what you do.
That is exactly
what you should believe.
Hmm.
We all know the only way
to your position is um,
through the back door.
I've heard of this place.
They call it
"The Lake of Doubts".
Sure about that?
You're jesting!
Shall we?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Is there no other way?
Bandy, it will take half a day
to get around this thing.
Straight shot.
Can you swim?
No.
It's shallow.
Probably.
It's actually not that far.
Straight shot, eh.
It's water!
Come on.
I have a bad feeling about this!
It'll be fine.
Follow me.
Bandy.
Vangel!
Bandy!
Stop.
Stop, stop!
Stop.
You're not well.
Don't move.
Good, it's healing.
Rest.
Eat.
You can't stay here
more than one night.
The longer we linger,
the more endangered we become.
Eat.
Or stay here and die.
Where are you going?
Who are you?
Sleep now.
Rest.
Feel better?
Much.
Thank you.
Good.
You'll need this.
Keep your wits about you.
It's time to go.
Let's go!
Stop.
Stop!
We don't have time to stop,
we have to keep moving.
Please,
just tell me who you are!
Even just your name.
Help.
I'm help.
That's your name?
It's not my name.
It's who I am.
What does that even mean?
You're worse than this book.
It's supposed to be a guide,
instead it's just full
of riddles.
If you knew
what you were carrying,
you wouldn't be
so casual with it.
And what is that?
Hope.
Vangel!
Let's move.
How do you know my name?
Hey, how do you know my name?
You said you were help.
Who sent you?
Why?
The King.
Apollyon?
No, the King of the North.
The King of the North died
centuries ago
in the Battle of Pike.
Haven't you ever read a book?
The King is not dead.
Have you seen him?
Did Elder speak to you
about the prophecy?
I think there's been a mistake.
I'm not the one
that prophecy speaks of.
I don't trust that guy, Elder.
Left me and my friend
to die in the wood...
Don't speak of things
you don't understand.
Elder is a man of great honor
and humility.
He lost everything
fighting this war.
They call him the "Great Heart".
Elder was the first of the Five
to cross
through the Wicked Gate.
I was the second.
He was my guide.
He was defending me
when Samael took his son
and slayed him right
in front of us.
You really believe
in the prophecy?
I do.
I do.
They were here.
Tell Lord Aamon we're close.
He's really not dead.
The King?
You've seen him
with your own eyes?
No.
How can you believe
in something...
I don't have to have seen him
to know him.
You'll see
once you go into the North.
He's in everything
that's beautiful.
He's in the trees,
he's in the light.
You'll see him in the citizens
of the North.
And once you've felt him,
you realize he's everywhere,
even here in the South.
You speak
as if he's a real person.
He is.
What's he like?
He's strong
like a hurricane wind.
But he's gentle.
He's kind and he's just.
There's no other king
worth serving.
You'll understand
when you get to the gate
and you meet Elikai.
Who's Elikai?
He's the Prince.
The presence of the King
is strong with him.
They chose me.
Of course, they did.
Not all of us are so pure.
I wasn't always like this.
What were you like before?
Another time.
But know this,
everything that Elder told you,
everything that you dreamed
about the North,
it's true, Vangel.
It really is that beautiful
and it will change you.
Guess I have to see it
for myself then.
Of course.
You will.
Ezera.
My name.
Ezera.
Hmm.
We have to run.
This way.
This way.
This way.
This way.
We're almost at the edge
of the perimeter.
We just...
Vangel?
Vangel?
Hear that, let's go!
Vangel.
I've always been with you.
Vangel.
Oh, hello there, friend.
You took a bit of a tumble.
Come on.
Let's get you up.
There you go.
Come on.
Oh!
These are
interesting accessories.
Found ourselves
in a bit of trouble, have we?
Uh, no matter.
Come on,
let's get you on your feet.
What's your name?
My name?
You, Sir, find yourself
in the grandest of company.
Wiles Pratt,
your worldly wise man.
You're a lucky man, my friend.
Do you know that, friend,
that I happened upon you
rather than some other person
or creature
with nefarious intent?
No.
You're in very safe,
very capable hands.
You'll be happy to know,
there is a town,
not far from here,
where you can find sanctuary
from whatever it is
that you're running from.
Uh, name of town?
Oh why,
the City of Deeds, of course!
Yes, Deeds,
where hard work is valued.
Where by the sweat of your brow
and strength of your back,
you can build a new life
for yourself.
Start anew.
Find peace, find healing.
Start again.
Does that sound good to you?
Of course, it does.
Yes, Deeds,
is where we are headed.
What about...
What about my guides?
Elder and Ezera.
Them?
Oh,
they're probably already there!
Oh, did they not tell you?
Oh!
It's just like them.
All travelers must pass
through the town of Deeds
in order to reach
the Wicked Gate.
That is where you're headed,
is it not?
Yeah.
Well, there you have it.
Yes,
I'm sure they've already arrived
I'm sure they...
They filled your head
with all this nonsense
of having to go your own way,
create your own adventure,
did they not?
That's just like them.
They do that to everyone.
No, Sir,
you will find a better life,
a new life in Deeds.
Let's make haste.
Come on.
You're doing well.
This way.
Are we almost there?
Oh yeah, it's just up ahead.
Watch your step.
There you go.
Oh, wait, wait, wait.
Stop, stop!
These are getting heavier
and heavier.
Oh, not to worry, friend.
In a moment...
You won't even realize
they're here.
Come on.
Ah, there it is!
Welcome, my friend.
The town of Deeds.
There you are!
Be quiet.
Or die.
Oh, what did I tell you?
Stay quiet.
What happened?
Wiles Pratt said...
Wiles Pratt is a mercenary.
He works for Apollyon.
Well done.
Great!
Shh!
He uses dark power
to conjure the illusion
of sanctuary.
You were foolish to listen
to that Wiles Pratt.
You should've held on to this
and stuck to the path
to the gate.
Let's go.
Vangel!
Vangel.
Vangel!
Vangel!
Bandy!
Bandy?
Bandy, hey!
Bandy?
Bandy?
Vangel?
Hey!
Hey, let's go to the North.
Let me get you out of here.
Yeah.
Bandy.
Bandy.
Oh, Bandy.
Bandy?
Bandy?
I'm sorry I left you.
You go to the North.
Vangel, I'm sorry.
We have to go.
Wait, wait!
Ezera, that thing is
still tracking us.
He won't stop.
Go.
Oh, no, no!
No. No.
She'll join us soon.
She likes a good fight.
You must reach the Wicked Gate.
He's as good as dead.
Go, go!
Let's go.
Go!
The prophecy
cannot be fulfilled.
The North must be stopped.
They will never unite the Five.
I swear it.
Then destroy them
and you shall join me
in the rule over all of Eos.
Yes, Master.
I came all this way for nothing.
Go back if you still can.
You're never gonna make it.
You... you're never gonna...
You're never gonna make it.
Peace...
I give you.
Not the peace
the world gives to you,
my peace, I give it to you.
I once stood where you are now.
Wondering the same thing.
Is it all worth it?
Is it?
It's beyond compare.
So what do you want to do?
To go back is death.
I wanna move forward.
Ezera.
Get Vangel to the gate.
Come.
Finally, today you meet
your weakling boy.
Right in the open grave
where I left him.
Get away, demon.
Come on!
If we can get
just over that hill.
You're almost there.
Come on, old friend.
I know all of your tricks.
Why don't you try me?
Let's go.
Let's go!
Come on, come on, let's...
Get ahead, get here.
Vangel!
Never again.
Ezera.
It's been a long time.
I've missed you.
You shut up.
Have you missed me?
You shut up!
Shut up!
A lot of men
in the Southern Kingdom
who have missed you.
Your talents.
I didn't have a choice.
Is that what you're telling
yourself?
You shut up!
Still beautiful.
You're still so beautiful.
You don't know me.
You don't know me.
Shh!
I really, really do.
Does he?
Please don't...
Please don't tell him.
Vangel.
No.
Please don't tell him.
Have you met Ezera?
Aamon.
Don't listen to him.
Allow me to introduce you.
Don't listen to him,
he's a liar.
This is Ezera.
She's a murderer and a whore.
No!
Ezera!
Ezera!
That's not who you are!
That's not who you are.
The King freed you
from that darkness,
he choose you, remember?
I know who you are.
You're a warrior of the King.
Daughter of the North.
You are free.
You're free.
Vangel!
You came for me?
Yes.
Take me.
Okay.
Please help us.
Prince Elikai?
I don't understand that.
Aamon.
You dwelled in the light,
but you choose darkness.
I understand.
You understand what?
Your pain.
You understand nothing!
Don't talk to me about pain!
You speak,
but you just don't hear.
You look, but you don't see.
See?
Remember.
Remember your father.
Don't talk about my father.
Remember the man your father
wanted you to be.
Talk about my father.
Your father,
he served the light,
so you wouldn't be
in the darkness, Aamon.
And he's gone!
You see?
See?
This is not you, Aamon.
This is not you.
Let go.
Vangel!
I've seen you before
in this exact spot.
Those visions were given to you
as a glimpse
into the Northern Kingdom
to give you hope.
I've been with you
the entire time.
The arrowhead
in the mountain pass,
the cool breeze in the desert,
the appearance of Elder
and Ezera,
I've always been with you
and within you.
I've known you for so long.
Even before you were born.
And watched you all these years.
And I have longed so much
for you
to be able to know
what's in the North.
Still it was your journey
and I could only point you
in our direction.
Here.
Specially, here.
Vangel.
You will soon understand.
Righteousness and justice
are the foundation of Eos.
I've seen this before...
in my dreams.
The Interpreter sent them
to you.
Visions,
that would lead you here to me.
Why me?
There are thousands
more deserving people.
My father, he chooses
whom he chooses, Vangel.
Your father?
The King of the North?
The King of all of Eos.
So it's true.
He still lives?
He never was dead, Vangel.
I don't deserve
the King's mercy.
No one truly deserves
the calling of a king.
I have wronged people.
I have sent people to death
that did not deserve it.
Vangel, you were given a gift.
You used this gift
for selfishness.
But he knows you can use this
for good.
You are the speaker of truth,
Vangel.
What you did for Ezera,
you broke her out of darkness
with truth.
And you can do this
for many, many more.
You made it.
I don't know how to thank you,
Elder.
Thank you
for what you did on the hill.
For what you said about me.
Vangel.
Will you stand with us?
I will.
