As long as humanity has existed...
... there have been Others among us.
They're human, yet they have abilities
beyond those of ordinary men.
Witches, sorcerers, shape-shifters...
... the Others are as varied
as stars in the sky.
[FLIES BUZZING ]
The Others are soldiers
in the eternal war:
The struggle between Dark and Light.
Light Others protected mankind
from the Dark Others...
... who plagued and tortured humans.
Legend tells of a day
when the two armies met on a bridge.
Geser, lord of the Light...
...and Zavulon, general of the Darkness,
faced each other.
And neither one would give way.
[ ELLING ]
[INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE]
[GROWLING ]
ANTON:
And so began a great battle...
...bloody and merciless.
[GRUNTING AND SCREAMING ]
Zavulon gloried in the slaughter.
ut Lord Geser wept.
[ ELLING ]
As the screams of the dying
reached heaven...
... Geser realiZed the armies
were equally matched...
...and he knew that unless
the fighting stopped...
...every last soul would perish.
So he stopped the battle.
[ ELLS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
ANTON:
Thus, the forces of Light and Darkness...
...forged a truce.
Geser spoke for the Light...
...and Zavulon spoke for the Darkness.
And these things were agreed:
No one could be forced to good or evil
without choosing freely.
The soldiers of Light
would be called Night Watch...
...making sure Dark Others
obeyed the truce.
And the soldiers of Darkness would
be called Day Watch, to do the same.
And so the balance would be kept
for centuries to come.
ut one day, an Other would come...
...more powerful than any before him.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
Like all Others, he would have to choose
between Light and Dark.
And his choice would
change the balance forever.

TORNADO WARNING FOR MOSCOW!
LEGENDS OF BZANTIUM
She's the VIrgIn, the gIrI you saw.
GESER:
Long ago, when the world was young...
... there was a virgin in yZantium.
She was a good woman,
pure and kind...
...and someone cursed her.
Wherever she went,
misfortune followed.
When she held a candle, it went out.
If she petted a puppy, it died.
When a bird ate from her hand,
it dropped to the ground.
In houses she visited, children died.
The force of the curse opened
a vortex of damnation around her.
And with it, the first forces of
Darkness were born into the world.
Warriors of Light
rose up to fight them...
...and the great battle between
Light and Dark began.
All because one human cursed another.
Legend says that one day the Virgin
shall again appear.
Again she shall be cursed...
...but this time her appearance heralds
the last battle.
For when the Virgin returns, the final
battle between good and evil shall begin...
...and the balance
will be broken forever.
The Great Other will appear. If he takes
the side of Light, Light will triumph.
ut wise men say he will
choose the Darkness.
For It Is easIer for a man to destroy
the LIght InsIde hImseIf. . .
. . .than to defeat the Darkness
aII around hIm.
