Britannia

May the Gods speak!

The true battle...

does not always unfold upon the field.

Sometimes, it is the one man you need to fear.

The one who can scare the dead...

Tear down temples...

Shift the pillars of time.

That's where the true danger lies.

The Betwixt must fast for two moons between each journey,

only then will she receive the great vision.

Have you received any great visions? Any visions at all?

No? But, hey, no pressure.

Oh, my sister, I wish I had half your strength,

but I won't let you down, I promise.

For I truly know now that there is a light in this world.

There is a light.

My name is Harka.

And how exactly do you fit into all this?

I am all of this.

In the beginning, there were the brothers.

The first and the second man.

Veran! Veran, where are you?

The Gods allowed the brothers to play in their garden.

Veran.

- The eldest, Harka... - Where have you gone?

Was destined to lead all children of the Gods.

One, two, three, four...

five, six.

The first, Harka, had to learn of the Wonder.

The Gods left fruits to see their garden as it truly is.

Sometimes I feel I'm not strong enough.

Strong enough for the Wonder.

The Gods saw and heard everything.

When I look out my window

Many sights to see

And when I look in my window

So many different people to be

Oh, no

Must be the season of the witch

Must be the season of the witch, yeah

Must be the season of the witch

You got to pick up every stitch

The rabbits running in the ditch

Beatnicks are out to make it rich

We must pay our respects to Veran.

That fiend is many things.

He is not the Veran.

I pray to the Aura for the coming day.

I thank you for all it may bring.

Hear me, Mars. Make me strong this day.

I pray to you Pino that you protect my feet,

that all day long, my boot stays on.

That the leather doesn't fray or the buckle snap.

Shield of war. Blessed are thou for thy conquering purposes.

Sacred feast. Accept this wine I place before you.

Do not slight me for my slight.

- General Aulus, come quickly. - I'm busy.

General, a queen is at the gates.

Which one is she? The stumpy one? The one with the log

- or the bald one having a fit? - The bald one.

- She's a queen? - Aye, sir.

- What's your name? - Felix.

Well, Felix, let's say we go and nip this in the bud, eh?

Good morning, most noble queen. On behalf of the emperor...

Hark the howling of our dead!

They bring a warning.

Leave this place, Demon, or face our wrath.

On behalf of the emperor, I welcome you...

- I shit on your emperor! - Now you're just being rude.

I appreciate the visit, I have lots to do

and you've clearly had a big night...

You make sacrifices of our people.

In these woods.

You leave unburied souls to rot in this world.

You must pay.

You desecrate our dead. Leave now, demon,

or you will pay.

Well, I can see you're upset.

Let me introduce you to Felix.

It was his idea to invade your

country. We just came along to help.

I'll leave it to him to explain.

- Felix? - What?

Guards!

We'll be back, and we'll bring our brothers and sisters

to burn this place down!

Oh, I look forward to that.

She was right.

- Who was? - The crazy old queen.

There are bodies in the forest.

Many children, girls, slain and left to rot.

What makes you think that's anything to do with us?

Because I watched it happen.

You don't have to answer. I'm not shocked.

I'm sure there's a good explanation.

I just don't know it.

We lie awake and shake like leaves

Upon the green and haunted trees

And listen to our knocking knees

The smell of bodies on the breeze

The smell of bodies on the breeze

Do you know what a messiah is?

Why don't you tell me?

I've met quite a few.

Persia, Canaan, Athens.

They all have one thing in common.

They're all so certain.

Certain of their truth.

Of the sanctity of their mission.

Some are just madmen or women.

But some are dangerous.

Very dangerous.

So you need to find that girl.

Before he does.

You mean Veran?

Veran is finished.

He's living on borrowed time.

Well, if it's not Veran, then who?

Hello, it's all right.

You're hunting?

- What you after? - Rabbits.

- Your family? - They're dead.

The Romans came. They burned our village.

That's a good spear.

- This is a good spot. - Why are you here?

I have to go now.

Good luck.

You worked hard to know our ways.

There's so much left to learn.

You were a warrior once, fought many battles.

Your queen prized you.

It was a long time ago.

You'll be a warrior again.

But to serve the Gods, you must first give up your child.

He'll be safe with one of the other tribes.

Can... can he not stay in our tribe?

Your path must be clear.

You will not see your son again.

Is your path clear?

I'm not hungry.

Oh. They took such a long time to grow.

I grew them for you specially.

There.

Last night you dreamed of her.

- Who? - Your sister.

How'd you know that?

Because you cried out in your sleep.

Why do you think she came for you?

It was a coincidence.

- Coincidence. - Maybe she came back to punish me.

And I wouldn't blame her.

Tell me your dream.

I dreamt the last time I saw her. The last time we spoke.

My father had been sacrificed.

I marked the occasion by accusing her

of betraying our father, betraying me,

of taking my place.

I said terrible things. Things I can never take back.

Well, you were you blind with grief.

I abandoned her and now she's dead.

Who the fuck am I?

And who the fuck are you?

And what the fuck do you want with a lost, confused, stupid...

Look at me! I don't know if I want a shit or a haircut.

Was your love for your sister half-hearted?

And what on earth good did that ever do?

I know what it's like to mourn blood.

Many years ago I had a brother.

Where have you been?

You've been gone since the spring.

I loved him more than I loved the rivers.

- What's that? - I don't know.

More than the stars,

and I trusted him more than I trusted myself.

Have you seen the apples? The apples are back.

I'm hungry. Bring me an apple.

A good one, mind. The best.

And he used that trust to destroy me.

To take my place.

Hello, friend. Here.

Harka! No, Harka!

- You tricked me. Why? - Harka!

Just as I was destroyed so were you. By the same force.

That's why you are here.

He who wronged you, wronged me.

They are the same.

- What's his name? - His name is Phelan.

Your sacrifice proves your faith.

The time has come

- Are you ready to fight? - I am.

Listen very carefully.

This day, I will be betrayed.

The Druids will split asunder.

When it happens, which way will you go?

With you, Veran. Always.

Here's what I want you to do.

Do you know what the runes say?

Nobody knows except Veran.

I know.

Well, don't you want to know?
