The first 200 lines.
Two decades had passed since the creation of both species ...
The war had begun ...
Victor increased his army,
Creating a legion of vampires to protect them against the very first clan of werewolves.
A vicious and infectious breed, unable to take human form ever again.
Until he was born.
Lucian.
And even though every fiber bit of his soul wound him to slay this child,
he did not.
Over the years, this child grew...
He posses the strength and focus that the ones before him did not.
What do you think, son?
Shall we make more?
From him? - Like him!
Lucian will always be the first of the breed.
The first of the Lycans.
Victor would used Lucian's infectious blood to his benefit.
Taking advantage of the child's thirst,
pity it against him as he was forced to feed on humans,
Victor slaves.
Instead, he created a new race of immortals.
Lycans. Werewolf, but also human.
Unlike the others, this new breed could be harness.
In slaves to guard them in the daylight hours to their masters.
Or so Victor thought , so long very ago ...
U N D E R W O R L D
The nobles were upset, my lord. Williams Hestilands has not been checked.
Werewolves have killed their slaves.
Humans upset, Tanus.
Please take note of what pain that brings me.
Yet, their lost slaves means our lost...
Enough! have I note our share increase ten folds since Marcus and the media is took their sleep?
We deal with the wolves as we always have.
Have you nothing better to do, blacksmith, than to play with weapons of war?
At least make your self useful.
A little gratitude, Sonja, to the one who saved your life.
I need it no savior.
Tell me, Lucian, does it burden your heart to you kill your own kind?
Not at all. They are mindless beasts, my lord.
No relatives of mine. - Really?
Father.
You are a credit to your race. Do you know how to remain so?
Keep your eyes on the ground.
Get rid of that.
You were sorry missed the council.
There are other demands of my time as you know.
I see it. I hope you have enjoyed your little moonlit ride.
I was out patrolling.
You would disobey. I told you to stay within these walls.
You risk too much, for a father to ignore!
You would lead the wolves to the death dealers.
And why father, is my risk any greater than that?
They are not my daughters.
And they are not council members. You are.
And one day you will become an elder, your birthright.
Sonja, you are well forth on that council.
But that is very precarious thing.
They grow tired of your games and your absence.
The dangers of the forest are not greater than those of the council tribe.
You will learn the dance of politics, to be ruthless and cunning.
And above all, you will be loyal your the family.
To me.
After all, without the loyalty between us ...
we are no better than the beast at our door.
Lycan!
No! Westdog!
Enough!
You dare to raise your hand to me?
I said that is enough. - So says the master's dog.
You will not always be his favorite.
If you fall I will be there.
Let us hope so.
Where you looking at? Get back to work!
Go back to work!
The matter before the council is simple.
We are under attack.
Six times in half as many weeks ...
William's kind has reached our very walls.
What mayhem would follow if one of them got through?
Your fear Coloman, is misplaced.
Are we not protected by an army of immortals?
Superbly, my lord. However, the nobles are not.
And as I appointed out, they are the grass in which we graze.
If we cannot protect our humans that makes us no weak.
And how would you project strength?
As our death dealers patrol the night ...
so our daylight guards can patrol the day.
Lycans patrol outside the walls? Have you lost your mind?
They are born of beasts ...
and this savagery of this dispicable fact cannot be bred away!
I think you fear of this idea is misplaced.
We can create a priviledge class of Lycans.
greater rations, finer cortex...
and put them under the hands of one we trust.
Thats your pet Lucian, the one who saved your daughter's life today.
In fact, I think we should hear her thoughts on this matter.
She seems to be needed elsewhere. - Find her.
I would take your suggestion...
under advisesment. - Thanks, my lord.
It would be gratifying to be able to re-assure the nobles when they arrive tomorrow,
that we have their interest at hand.
Lady?
Is it true what you told my father?
That you feel nothing when you kill them?
They're just animals.
Incapable of social fitting.
So why should I feel anything to them.
Sonja, if I were to leave from here...
Would you come with me?
Leave?
Do not say that. Do not even think it.
They will hunt you down and mark you like all the others.
Not if I can remove this.
Look!
I made it. This will be my freedom!
Lucian, promise me you won't use it!
Please! - Is that your answer then? You will not come?
So you want me to stay here for you?
Like this? As an animal?
Lucian.
Vampire and Lycan, we are both children of Corvinus.
But my family are slaves.
I will use this key ...
and will leave this place.
But I can never be without you now.
Any news of my daughter? - It is hard to find.
She refuses to see me.
And she won't answer her door. Why are the young so blind?
She risk her sit in the council and for what?
I cannot imagine.
You must prepare, my lord. Human's noble are on their way.
Its sharp. No wolf will stand before it.
Ready the horses!
Let someone else go. - Why?
Last night, after I left ...
Just let someone else go.
In case it has escape your notice, blacksmith ...
I am quite capable of looking after myself.
And besides...
you can watch over me from the wall.
Lady Sonja, your father has ordered you to stay behind.
I intend to our guest safely through the gate.
Gate Master! - This is not a request.
Your father is ruler of the covenant.
So, he keeps reminding me.
Careful, blacksmith. There's two eyes between your secret.
Shut it my child! Shut it.
Get your men out there, now! - Down boy. Your leech is too tight?
Step away! - Its too many of them ...
They will be massacre!
Stop him!
Dimitri!
Lucian!
Sonja!
Lucian, no!
No!
He did it to save me.
Am I not master of this house?
You know you are forbidden to remove your shuckle.
Yes.
Yet you break my law after I gave you your life?
Your days of flush living are over! Slave!
Father, leave him be. I told you already ..
Hold your tongue!
You have to fight me for the last time.
Get her outta here!
Burn the bodies. Burn them all.
for removing the collar ... 30 lashes!
You've stung me, Lycan, with your betrayal.
You were like a son to me.
I gave you your life. - You gave me chains.
I wouldn't thought that after all these years you would have known ...
you can not have one without the other.
Do it!
I've told you I'll be there when you fell.
Stop this. He is one of our protectors ... - They are just beast themselves.
This could stir up the others. - Let them stir
Do you fear and believe me, it will be worst if we do not punish them
Do you see now, Coloman? You would trust them outside the walls?
We can not even trust them inside!
By my count, that's 21.
Continue.
Stay away from him. Or they'll punish you too.
Your concern for Lucian was most touching.
A slave. - He had just saved my life.
Was it not you, who told me to show a little gratitude?
And yourself? Have you no gratitude for the one who saved our daughter's life?
I am awashed with it That it lives shows the breath of my Magnalimita.
Where it other circumstances, I would have had him fed into pieces to his own kind.
But his punishment is now over.
He will be freed. - Freed?
Your judgement is clouded, Sonja.
We did not keep order with sentiment.
Lucian forbidden to remove his collar and yet he did so.
For however finer reason ...
he will remain in prison.
Janosh and other nobles will soon arrive.
Your presence is expected.
I saw what you did out there.
Very brave ... for human.
