The Dragon Prince

Ba-bum.

Previously on The Dragon Prince...

Assassins. A scout on patrol discovered them just before dawn.

We believe they’re Moonshadow elves.

The humans crossed into Xadia and murdered the King of the Dragons.

Then they destroyed his only egg, the Dragon Prince.

Tonight, we bind our lives to justice.

Ezran, you don’t get it, do you?

Why do you think they’re sending us away? Because they’re coming to kill him.

The human, he looked up at me and I saw the fear in his eyes.

You let him live, but you’ve killed us all.

They’ll be on the lookout for us now.

Five of us won’t be enough. We need all six.

We’ll be stronger as five.

Hey, could I borrow your sharpener thingie?

Whetstone.

Yeah, that.

No.

Come with me.

Ezran, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said what I said.

I’m sure everything’s going to be fine.

Come on. Later, you can call me a jerkface,

and I’ll do the crazy jerkface dance for you.

It is a dance of stupitude and sorry-ness.

Okay, well, I’m going to go grab some books for our trip.

We don’t have much time, so I’ll be back to help you pack in a few.

I thought you could do it, Rayla, but I was wrong.

You’re not wrong. I can do it.

I know you’ve never taken before.

I brought you because you’re talented.

Maybe the fastest and strongest of any of us.

But it takes more than that.

There’s an instinct. A moment of truth.

And in that moment, you hesitate.

-I won’t hesitate again. -You will.

I see now that you’re still just a child.

Your heart isn’t hard enough to do whatever it takes.

I messed up. I know I did.

Because I let that human go, we’re all in danger.

But that’s why you have to let me make it right.

No, it’s too late for that.

I bound myself, my heart for--

You’ll be unbound when the job is done. Your role now is to stay out of the way.

You will wait here, quietly.

If we’re not back by sunrise, go home.

I can fix this.

How in the...

Aspiro.

I thought the book was haunted or something.

You should have seen the look on your face.

-It was completely adorable. -Ridiculous.

Did you just say adorable?

Did I?

It's so amazing that you can do things like that.

Nah, it's just a simple wind breath rune.

Aspiro.

Can you smell the peanut butter?

Oh, yeah. Is that part of the spell?

Nope, it's just what I had for lunch.

See this? It's a primal stone.

It uses magical energy from one of the six primal sources.

-Look. -Wow. What's inside?

It's a storm, a real storm. Captured from the top of Mount Kalik.

That's incredible. You're so lucky you get to learn magic.

Well, you get to learn sword-fighting.

I'd switch places in a second.

I do not understand girls.

My king, we have not been able to find the elves.

Sundown is only an hour away.

Soren and the others have returned to bolster your defenses.

It won't be enough.

I've accepted that tonight, I may pay the price for our mistakes.

Harrow, don't give up just yet.

Claudia and I are still searching for a creative solution.

Call it what it is... dark magic.

Yes.

I've spent years going along with these "creative solutions,"

and where has it gotten me?

I don't understand.

I know you don't. Leave me.

Okay, what is that, with the nose, the finger?

Not everyone speaks Claudia, Claudia.

It means, I've got something.

Ezran, we need to get going. It's almost sundown.

Ez?

Oh, no.

-Prince Callum. -Ow! Uh...

Of course we're both here. Why wouldn't we be?

Right. Well, the king wants to see you alone, Prince Callum.

Oh, perfect. But he could have seen both of us if he wanted to.

Yesterday, I had two eggs for breakfast and I was starving.

Today, I had four eggs and I'm stuffed. So, tomorrow--

Three eggs, I get it. We don't need to talk.

I was going to say two eggs and one sausage.

You wanted to see me?

Prince Callum.

-My king. -No, I... Please.

Okay.

Callum, I know I'm not your birth father, but I want you to know that...

This isn't easy.

So, the most important things, I've written down.

A letter?

You'll understand in time.

I want you to break the seal when...

Well, you'll know when.

When you've been killed.

War is full of uncertainty.

Why can't you do something about it? Can't you just make peace with them?

It's not that simple.

It seems pretty simple to me. You don't want to die.

I'm sure the elves and dragons don't want to die.

So, everyone agrees.

There are centuries of history.

Generations of wrongs and crimes. On both sides.

I am responsible for some of those wrongs.

I have done terrible things.

I thought they were necessary.

Now, I don't know.

But I do know I will pay the price for the choices I made.

There has to be a way to make it right.

It's too late.

What is done cannot be undone.

But you're the king. You can do anything.

The great illusion of childhood

is that adults have all the power and freedom.

But the truth is the opposite.

A child is freer than a king.

I'm going to give this back to you this weekend, okay?

I'm not going to have to open this.

Take care of your brother.

You're wrong about me.

I can do this.

I will do this.

Ez, is that you?

Hello?

You know you can't sneak up on me.

Uh, uh, you're not who I thought you...

You're one of those, with the pointy...

Oh, you don't like my ears?

No. I mean, yeah. Yes, I do, I guess.

I mean... I meant the pointy swords.

That's far enough. I'm looking for someone.

Oh. Uh, did you check back there?
